The cavalry battalion was like a plough, and the rumbling sound of horses' hooves resounded in the corridor, and when they encountered organized thieves, they slammed headlong in spite of the disparity in numbers.

In the melee, cut down a thief who dares to resist.

Lin Yi soon ran into the troops of the sweeping king, and there were more than 80,000 people in the sweeping king's headquarters, but most of them were coerced people.

The real combat effectiveness is still the more than 1,000 elite horsemen of the sweeping king, Lin Yi bit the sweeping king from afar, and finally recalled the two teams of cavalry before the fall.

With six hundred riders, Lin Yi directly launched an attack on the sweeping king.

Six hundred cavalrymen crashed into the sea of people of the sweeping king without fear of death, like a cold water falling into an oil pot, which immediately provoked a violent reaction.

The coerced people scattered and fled in all directions in the cry, and after Lin Yi killed the rabble, he quickly pointed the finger at the thousands of elite horsemen.

The two sides broke out in a scuffle on the flat ground, and the cavalry battalion fired a shot at the rogue spirit horsemen, and hundreds of rogue thieves fell off their horses, quickly drew their sabers, and the two sides finally collided together.

The soldiers of the cavalry battalion did not care about the attacking weapons, but slashed their sabers at the opponent, and cut down the rogue spirit cavalry that was coming head-on.

And those rogue elite cavalry have not undergone any training at all, and the horse battle is not the opponent of the cavalry battalion at all, and the cavalry battalion is wearing plate armor, although many rogue elite cavalry have weapons on their hands, although they see each other, these officers and soldiers are like iron lumps, and their uneven, superior and inferior weapons cannot be cut into it at all.

As soon as the melee between the two sides began, the thieves were beaten by the brave cavalry battalion, and many thieves quickly turned their horses and fled directly.

Escaping is like a rapidly spreading plague, which quickly spreads to the thieves under the Sweeper, and the first to flee is the Sweeper.

The army of thieves who were not restrained collapsed in an instant, and the homeless people fled in all directions, but the direction of escape was only southeast and northwest.

To the southeast, the soldiers of the second battalion who crashed headlong into Wang Wenyue! To the northwest, you will also run into the soldiers of the second battalion who are surrounded in front.

Lin Yi didn't pay attention to the thieves on foot, quickly formed a team after the battle, and then sent two hundred people to continue chasing the fleeing thieves.

The rest of the cavalry continued to plow the land and generally advance through the corridors, looking for the leaders and backbones of the thieves to attack.

These thieves can be divided into two parts, one is bandits, and the other is the common people.

The bandits could not attack the cities and towns at all in Taiping, but in the disaster year, the bandits began to attack the cities and towns with hungry people, and then coerced more people, using tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people to destroy the production and stability of the areas.

Those hungry people and ordinary people are just cannon fodder for those bandits, who can be discarded at any time and can be found again at any time. At the same time, it was difficult for the bandits to restrain the hungry people and civilians, and once they lost the battle, those people would surrender to the official army or flee.

Therefore, when you open the history books, you can often see that a certain group of thieves with a large number of thieves will collapse directly after being defeated, but as long as the backbone is still intact, a huge team can be quickly pulled up.

The sweeping king fled to the northwest in embarrassment, but was soon bitten by the chasing cavalry, many of their horses were inferior horses, and they did not use war horses to form cavalry as strictly as Zhao Yan, and they were superior to the thieves in terms of endurance and speed.

During the pursuit, the soldiers of the cavalry battalion skillfully loaded their horses with ammunition, and then aimed at the thief riders in front of them, and there was a burst of gunfire. It was not until the sky was dark that the cavalry battalion stopped the pursuit and stopped on the spot to rest.

Lin Yi's cavalry battalion was like ploughing, ploughing from the northwest to the southeast, and from the southeast to the northwest.

The thieves were chased and didn't know which direction to run, and the thieves who were heading northwest were directly intercepted by the second battalion, but this corridor was not so narrow after all, and many thieves slipped directly into Guide Mansion through the gaps.

The thieves who ran back were all blocked, and the thieves who were defeated by the cavalry battalion were very well captured, and some even took the initiative to beg for surrender.

After all, many people are helpless from thieves, half strong and half strong, for a mouthful of food to survive, and there are thieves to stay in the thief army.

As soon as those backbones were defeated, they were unrestrained, and they immediately knelt on the ground in fright when they saw the officers and soldiers. Some are unled, they don't know where to go, and they don't even know where they are.

These days, Lin Yi has been constantly attacking, and during the attack, he kept shouting the slogan of 'surrender and not killing, only punishing the evil', and many thieves surrendered as soon as they saw the cavalry battalion coming, but Lin Yi didn't have the time to clean them up, just let them go in the direction of Fengyang.

The first encirclement and suppression operation arranged by Zhao Yan was like a pocket getting tighter and tighter, and by the third day, nearly 100,000 people had been captured.

The sweeping king was chased by the cavalry battalion for two days, and was finally captured alive in the Guide Mansion.

The remaining 20,000 or 30,000 people are still struggling in the encirclement.

The hazy sky finally changed on this day, revealing a delicate ray of sunlight from the clouds, dispelling a trace of cold, and bringing a touch of warmth to the people on the earth.

But for those thieves who are still struggling, no matter how bright and warm the sun is, the mood is still cold, but the body is just warm.

After a few days of running, they fled from Fengyang to Guide, and when they were close to Guide, they were blocked back, and when they turned back and fled to Fengyang, they encountered the official army again.

The leaders of the thieves were sadly aware that they had entered the encirclement of the official army.

Moreover, the officers and soldiers who encircled and suppressed them this time were different from the officers and troops they had encountered in the past, not only were everyone well-trained and fought like wolves and tigers, but they were also extremely well-equipped, and those officers and soldiers who were responsible for charging and killing were wearing iron armor, and fighting with them was like facing a bunch of iron lumps, and they could not be cut down.

Thinking of those cavalry who fought furiously, the hearts of those bandit leaders were full of chills, so those bandit leaders and backbones were defeated again and again, and again and again gathered the rogues around, intending to make the last resistance.

The thieves were not well supplied, and many were hungry.

Sun Shishi was one of them, he had been hungry for two days, and he had no food, so he could only drink the cold river water, and eat the half-withered and half-green grass on the ground, and the bark of [***] trees.

Sun Shishi wanted to escape, but there were people who restrained him, so he never found a chance to escape. However, he was not very anxious in his heart, anyway, as soon as the official army arrived, he just knelt on the ground.

As long as they kneel on the ground, those wolf-like officers and soldiers will definitely not trouble them. His eyes looked into the distance from time to time, and he was expecting the officers and soldiers to appear sooner.

Because some of the thieves escaped after being captured, the devil knows how they escaped, but they brought the news that the officers and soldiers not only did not embarrass them, but also gave them food and promised to give them cattle and seeds for production.

These news spread among the thieves like wings, and many of the thieves were swaying, and they ran because they were afraid that the officials and soldiers would hold them accountable.

But without this concern, he hoped to be captured by the officers and soldiers and settle down as soon as possible.

The leaders of the thieves have been grouped together at this moment, and they have decided to fight to the death when they are encircled, knowing that the dog will jump over the wall when he is in a hurry! This group of officers and soldiers simply does not let people live, and they will be cut down when they are caught, and they will not be given a chance at all.

Listening to the thieves who fled back, more than a dozen leaders have been beheaded, among which the earliest to die is the Taiping King, as well as Liu Bei, Guo Tianxing and other leaders have also been cut off, and even those backbones have been cut off, and their heads are used to build a high Jingguan in Fengyang.

The only exception was the sweeping king, who was captured alive and sent to Jingshi overnight.

……

At noon, the encirclement of the officers and troops contracted again, and thousands of cavalry maintained a neat formation, slowly approaching the group to the death.

The final battle in the encirclement is about to begin.
