Liaozhai Great Sage

Not to mention the level of martial arts, just that iron rod can make people feel frightened.

The iron rod that ordinary people can't handle is like a straw in his hand, waving in the wind.

"Wu Xiang, don't worry about those rebels, close the city gates, smash the suspension bridge, and stop the rebels from taking the city." Li Xiuyuan shouted in surprise when he saw Wu Xiang stopped the rebels by himself.

"Is it benefactor?"

Wu Xiang was stunned for a moment, Xun Sheng looked, but saw Li Xiuyuan not far away with cavalry attacking, charging towards the direction of the rebels.

"Don't worry, benefactor, I'll close the city gate right now." Wu Xiang replied loudly.

After speaking, he put the iron rod on the ground and grabbed it with his hand. With two loud bangs, the heavy city gate was closed in an instant, and then he strode over, repelling hundreds of bandit soldiers. Then the suspension bridge was easily destroyed and sank into the moat.

Without the drawbridge, the ambitions of the rebels to take the city were completely wiped out.

"it is good."

Seeing this scene, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help shouting, and then he led the cavalry to smash the formation of the rebel army in an instant, and at the same time blocked the retreat of the rebel army.

"Boom~!"

Thousands of cavalry were still raging on the battlefield, and the bandit soldiers besieging the city on all sides had lost their momentum at this moment, and they were just scrambling to escape.

But Li Xiuyuan didn't stop there, but ordered several of them to lead the cavalry to capture the rebels on the battlefield, force them to surrender, and reduce the power of the rebels.

now.

In the rebel barracks far away from the battlefield.

The flag of the King of Nine Mountains hangs high here.

Under the commander-in-chief flag, Li Liangjin panicked for a moment when he saw countless deserters scrambling to leave Jinling City and run here.

"What's going on, how could you lose so well, isn't it to capture Jinling City?" Li Liangjin looked up and muttered to himself.

Although the four chiefs didn't listen to his orders to attack the city without authorization when they were in command, they were angry, but he still hoped to take Jinling City. After all, his Marquis Mansion is in Jinling City, so if he can get it, it will be considered If he can wash away the previous shame, his title as King of Nine Mountains is well deserved.

But I never thought that the situation, which was so good, suddenly took a sharp turn for the worse.

"My lord, it's the cavalry from the imperial court. Look, my lord, there are nearly ten thousand gold armored cavalry, well equipped, and extraordinary combat power. In addition, when they attacked the city just now, they did not guard against reinforcements, so that the cavalry entered from the flanks. The road was shattered, and the troops led by Shihu retreated immediately. The cavalry rushed to the congregants of the White Lotus Sect, and those congregants also fled. Turning south to north in a circle, I'm afraid it's more ominous than ominous."

Nanshan Weng next to him said, but there was no panic in his eyes, but a smile on the contrary.

It is not what he wants to see the rebel army marching forward all the way. What he wants to see most is to collapse suddenly when the rebel army is about to become a phenomenon.

In this way, Li Liangjin was not far from death.

Li Liangjin saw more and more defeated troops, he asked in a panic: "What should the military division do now?"

Nanshan Weng said: "Jinling City can no longer be taken down, my lord should have made a plan to retreat temporarily with the troops. There are not many cavalry in the imperial court, so they should be unable to continue to pursue and kill them."

"Yes, what the military adviser said is, hurry up, get out of here, go away."

Li Liangjin said in a panic, without thinking about any preparations, he rode a horse and gathered his cronies and left here as if fleeing.

Because they fled in such a hurry, they left behind all the military supplies, money and food, and many rebels who stayed in the camp were even abandoned. They didn't even know that their commander had slipped away.

Since then, the mighty rebel army of more than [-] people has been defeated in this battle in an instant. There are many reasons for this defeat. Some leaders are unwilling to contribute, and some rebels lack weapons. , ordnance, and most of them were bandits coerced in, their fighting power was not strong, and Li Xiuyuan's cavalry was too fierce to fight, and no one could resist for a while, so this resulted in this result.

In any case, the fact that 10,000+ rebels were defeated outside Jinling City is an ironclad fact.

"Pass down the general's order, the rebels who kneel down and surrender will not be killed, and those who dare to escape will be killed without mercy." The cavalry on the battlefield continued to attack, and a new military order echoed outside Jinling City.

Li Xiuyuan felt that there were too many rebels. Even the 10,000 cavalry brought by the [-] pigs would have to be killed by one person, let alone the [-]+ people.

Now that the victory or defeat is clear, the rebels fled and scattered, and now the cavalry can be recruited to surrender.

It was not until dusk that all the fighting subsided.

Li Xiuyuan was riding a dragon colt, wearing blood-soaked armor, holding a gun body without a gun point, and led dozens of cavalry slowly pacing on the battlefield.

Corpses littered the field, blood flowed like rivers, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of blood.

The dragon horse who sat down seemed to be adapting to the situation very quickly, and kept snorting to express dissatisfaction.

"Report, General, all the surrendered rebels have been escorted to the rebels' barracks for guard." A cavalry rushed over and reported with hands folded.

Li Xiuyuan replied: "Leave 1000 people watching, be careful, and beware of chaos."

"Report, General, all four walls have been taken down, and the defenders have not stopped them." Another cavalry came to report.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Very good. I will control the yamen and the civil and military officials in the city. Starting today, I will take over Jinling City. If I continue to hand it over to these corrupt officials, no matter how good the city is, it will not be able to hold it."

"Report, general, King Maitreya, one of the four leaders of the rebel army, died on the battlefield. It was not our people who killed Wang Ze. Han Meng said that it was a friend of the general who helped him."

Li Xiuyuan continued: "Oh, the king of the Maitreya Sect is dead? It seems that my strategy of dividing the troops before has worked. At least one rebel leader was intercepted and killed, but it doesn't matter who killed it. Now it's not about meritorious deeds. Time. Let’s go check again to see if Mr. Chen is dead, Hua Gu and Shi Hu of the White Lotus Sect must have escaped, so we don’t need to waste time to track it down.”

"Yes, General."

Orders came out of his mouth one after another, and any word Li Xiuyuan said at this moment could affect the life and death of countless people inside and outside Jinling City.

Who would have thought that Li Xiuyuan before was just an unpopular scholar.

"Go back to the city to rest before dark, and we'll talk about cleaning up the battlefield tomorrow," Li Xiuyuan said again.

He looked at the sunset in the distance.

Although the mountain has not yet set, there is a slight chill.

So many people died at night, fearing that something evil will happen again, we must hurry up and let the Yin soldiers and ghosts come out to take away the dead souls, so as not to affect the nearby people.

"Enter the city to repair ~!"

After the battle was completely over, he gave the last order.

The scattered cavalry on the battlefield began to gather together and walked into Jinling City one after another.

But when Li Xiuyuan rode the dragon horse all the way, he found that besides the corpses of the rebels, he also saw the corpses of some common people.

He saw a young man hugging a young girl and fell into the muddy water. His body had been trampled by the army, and his body was full of arrows.

I also saw a rather young looking lady just hugging her own child, bloody and bloody, and the baby in the swaddle had also died for a long time, with a black and blue color.

He even saw the corpses of hundreds of common people piled up under the city gate, while above the city gate there were many bloody cuts that were scratched out by blood.

It seems that before dying, they all hope to open the city gate.

"The rebel army's siege of the city is not a short-term job. They have already attacked Jinling City three times. Why are there still corpses of the people outside the city?" Li Xiuyuan was silent for a long time, and asked in a cold voice.
