The pursuit of the cavalry made the White Lotus Army flee in all directions, Cao Wenzhao stared at Xu Heyu's banner, he was not interested in these fish belly soldiers, only this ghost King Heroic Martyr could catch and play, and by the way, Zou County was captured, a small piece of work, it was better than nothing, so he ordered to suppress the speed, not too fast, just follow closely behind Xu Heyu.

Xu Heyu didn't understand at all, how could he be defeated, since the incident, no matter where the officers and soldiers were, they were all about to collapse at the touch of a button, why is this guard so powerful? If Cao Wenzhao knew what he thought, he would definitely tell him: "It's not that our army is too powerful, but that your army is too rubbish." ”

Xu Heyu was finally about to escape to the suspension bridge, and he shouted as he ran: "Raise the suspension bridge, quickly raise the suspension bridge." And Cao Wenzhao has been pressing the speed of the cavalry of the Guards, waiting for this moment, he hung about thirty steps behind the banner, saw Xu Heyu on the suspension bridge, and immediately shouted: "Speed up, control the city gate, and take Zou County." A clamp on the horse's belly, the sound of the bowstring in his hand sounded, two arrows flew to the city gate, shot the two people who were about to close the city gate to the ground, and then put the bow behind his back, pulled out a javelin, and nailed Xu Heyu to the city gate, at this time he had already run through the city gate hole on horseback, a rain of arrows came, shooting the horse to the ground, he had jumped up from the horse before the horse fell to the ground, and a long knife in his hand danced impenetrable, blocking the arrow outside. I saw that he had risen a few times, and the man had already gone up to the city wall, and with a flash of his sword, he cut a thief who commanded the archery into two pieces. His cavalry had already rushed in, killing all the people in the gates, and killing the thieves who were in charge of the drawbridge. He jumped down from the city wall, kicked off a thief on horseback, and the man landed on the horse, and shouted with a knife: "Xu Heyu is dead, the emperor has a decree, only the first evil will be eliminated, and the threat will not be investigated." The other horsemen shouted as they rushed into the city.

After Yang Guangkui's infantry entered the city, Cao Wenzhao had already controlled the four gates, and after urgently interrogating the leader of the White Lotus Sect, he knew that Xu Hongru had just gone to Teng County, so he ordered the army to rest and prepare to attack Teng County tomorrow.

Leaving two flags to guard Zou County, when it was almost noon on June 15, the Guards rushed to Teng County, and the defeated army from Zou County had brought the news that the Guards had killed Xu Heyu, so the White Lotus Army closed the city gate and did not dare to fight, Yang Guangkui ordered the whole army to make rice, Cao Wenzhao still led the cavalry around the city to play flags and shout slogans, and the parishioners on the city wall looked at the cavalry outside to show off their might, listening to the slogans they shouted, with different expressions.

At half past one in the afternoon, the siege began. The main attack was on the south gate, and the other city gates each sent a division of infantry and a banner of cavalry to prevent Xu Hongru from breaking through. Yang Guangkui first asked the infantry to stop beyond the range of bows and arrows under the city, and then pushed forward the newly made siege cannon of the Weapons Division and opened fire on the city gate. The solid cannonball weighed five and a half pounds, known as the six-pound cannon, hit the city gate, knocked the city gate into chaos, and then continued to fire cannons, and after more than a dozen cannons, the city gate was finally blasted into wooden blocks. Then the muzzle of the cannon was turned, and the cannonball hit the city wall, breaking the bricks into pieces, and the fragments beat the defenders to the point that they shouted for their fathers and mothers, and they ran into the city. More than 100 cannons were bombarded in a row, so that the city wall near the south gate was deprived of a White Lotus Army.

Yang Guangkui waved his hand, and the baggage battalion quickly stepped forward, put a wooden plank on the moat, and then quickly retreated, a group of infantry with shields into the city gate hole, and a group of infantry with firearms followed closely behind. As soon as the shield soldiers came out of the city gate hole, a large number of rolling wood and stones were thrown down, knocking several shield soldiers to the ground, and the fire soldiers behind them stepped forward with a row of bullets, scattering the people in front of the city gate hole, and then shouted and rushed in with bayonets, and Yang Guangkui rushed into the city with a steady stream of infantry behind, and encountered scattered resistance on the road, which quickly disappeared in front of bullets and bayonets.

Soon rushed to the original county yamen, at this time several people tied up a person and walked out, shouting: "Don't fire, we surrender, this is the thief Xu Hongru, we catch him to surrender." Then they knelt on the ground together. It turned out that it was the governor of the White Lotus Army, Hou Wang, the general soldier Wei Qi and others who saw that the situation was not good, and tied up Xu Hongru to surrender.

Xu Hongru lowered his head and said nothing, Yang Guangkui called the prisoners he had just captured to come and identify them, and they all said that it was indeed Xu Hongru. Yang Guangkui ordered him to be temporarily detained in the county office, sent troops to guard him, and then asked the signal soldiers to inform Cao Wenzhao to come quickly.

Cao Wenzhao brought the backbone of the White Lotus Army captured in Zou County, and once again confirmed that it was indeed Xu Hongru, so he finally put his mind at ease. Immediately asked Cao Wenzhao to send cavalry to inform him that Xu Hongru had been arrested, and the rest of the sect members could not be investigated as long as they laid down their weapons.

News of Xu Hongru's arrest spread by the Guards, causing most of the parishioners to lay down their arms. And the few parishioners who wanted to resist stubbornly, under the strong firepower of the Guards, quickly understood that eggs could not touch stones, and surrendered one by one after being killed and wounded.

The officials from all over the country finally dared to return to their original station, looking at the ruined city, looking at the yellow and white things that the parishioners in the yamen were drowning everywhere, all their anger was vented on the leaders who were caught, and the landlords did the same when they returned home, and they also arrested the parishioners everywhere and sent them to the yamen to show them to compensate for their losses.

The parishioners were basically poor, and what was there to compensate the landlords and squires for their losses? At this time, the holy decree came down, and the emperor said that unless he was the leader of the rebellion and had major bad deeds, he was not allowed to kill the parishioners who had been arrested.

The anger of the officials and gentry always has to find a place to vent, since ordinary parishioners can't be killed, which of the leaders doesn't have a few lives on their backs? Then check, if you find out that you have one life on your body, you will kill it directly, and if you have many lives, in addition to killing yourself, you will also kill your family, so that the backbone of the White Lotus Sect in Shandong will almost be swept away. Without a leader, Shandong has not formed organized educational activities for many years.

Set off on May 13, caught Xu Hongru on June 15, and put down the White Lotus Sect in a little more than a month, which made the White Lotus Sect disciples in other places who were ready to respond feel very lucky, and secretly praised themselves for enduring it well, otherwise they would have followed in the footsteps of Xu Hongru.

Yang Guangkui escorted Xu Hongru and his family into Beijing in a prison car, and the guards rested in Zou County. After entering Beijing, the emperor ordered Xu Hongru Lingchi to be executed, and all his family members were beheaded except for minor children (under the age of 15), and the leaders at all levels who participated in the rebellion were also beheaded, and the heads were circulated throughout Shandong, and the transmission was aimed at not spreading the White Lotus Sect or the Wenxiang Sect (another name for the White Lotus Sect) throughout the country.
