Crossing the Jiaolai River, all the way through Fengtai, Baisha, Guocun and other villages and towns, there are no people. The news that the sentinels who sent out also said that there were basically no people. If it weren't for the few people who were sheltering from the disaster, Jinzhou would have only thought that they had entered a no-man's land.

Everything was like a wasteland, the houses were burned down, the beams were scorched, and the corpses were in the rubble, and there were all kinds of signs that even if the officers and troops succeeded in regaining peace, the place would not be able to regain its former vitality within ten years.

It was the wolf cavalry and the pro-soldier battalion that attacked Pingdu, and the two battalions of the left and right infantry armies with the baggage were left behind, and the mountain roads were difficult to walk, and in some places the carriages could not pass at all, so they could only be dismantled and carried by manpower. The boxes of goods obtained from Shahe Chen sometimes contained dozens of large boxes, and they were so heavy that if it weren't for the fact that there would be more places to use money in the future, Dayong would be eager to throw them all away. Occasionally think about it, or the 100 yuan bills in later generations are comfortable, at least, they won't be too heavy to move.

After several days of passing in the mountains and forests, the horseshoe of the war horse was damaged a lot, and there were no craftsmen with the army, so the horse with the damaged hooves could only be left to the baggage battalion, and the heavy armor of the wolf cavalry was also left, and the soldiers who participated in the attack on Pingdu were all lightly armed. Everything is just for the sake of speed, and because the people of Jinzhou do not take the rebels in Pingdu City in their eyes at all, if they have to focus on armor to deal with them, it will really make people laugh off their big teeth.

When I finally saw the plain, it was already three poles in the sun, and you could see the Jiaolai River from afar, and the river was glowing white under the reflection of the sun, which made the eyes of Jinzhou who had been drilling the ravine for days be bright. After staying in the mountains for a long time, I suddenly saw the scene of a flat river, and everyone would be comfortable.

The undefended county town of Pingdu was successfully taken almost without a single soldier. Cao Bianjiao took the lead and led more than 30 horsemen to suddenly kill from the horizon and went straight to the city gate. And the rebels at the city gate thought that it was the rebels from Laizhou, and they didn't take any precautions at all, and they didn't even think to close the city gate. This can't be blamed on them, who made the Jinzhou army and the Dongjiang Liao soldiers wear almost the same clothes, Chen in Shahe sometimes can't tell the difference, let alone them.

With a red cherry blossom felt hat on his head, the wolf cavalry marched forward bravely.

When the wolf cavalry rushed to the gate of the city and still brandished their long knives, the rebels realized that it was not their own soldiers and horses, but the official army!

"The officers and soldiers are coming, the officers and soldiers are coming!"

To Cao Bianjiao's surprise, he thought that the rebels in the city would resist somehow, after all, there were thousands of people in the city, and they were all bloodthirsty thugs, which was known from the tragic situation of those villages and towns along the way.

There are still quite a few hundred outlaws out of a few thousand people, as long as the defenders have a little courage, organized resistance will always occur, although there is no doubt about the final capture of the county, but it may also lose some men.

There are only 300 wolf cavalry left, and each of these 300 people is an elite veteran, and they are all warriors who can be taken out at any time to fight to the end. Therefore, for every loss of someone, Xiao Cao, who is the commander of the wolf cavalry, will feel a little heartache.

The lone army is outside, can not be effectively replenished, and the source of troops that can be used as a cavalry supplement in the pass is too little, thinking that he will have a dignified cavalry competition with the East in the future, Cao Bianjiao, naturally does not want his subordinates to have casualties, and he also pointed to these elites in the future to form a powerful cavalry belonging to the Ming Dynasty. But this is not to preserve strength, Cao Bianjiao, who is the head of the door tiger, will never do bad things because of his private thoughts, he must fight when he should fight, and he will die when he should die.

In the current situation, there is no need to fight anything, and there is no need to worry about any casualties among his subordinates, because looking at it, the rebels at the city gate have already abandoned the city gate and fled to the city in chaos.

The sound of ghosts shouting and wolf screaming resounded in the city, accompanied by the sound of horses' hooves entering the city, and everything seemed like a farce.

The rest of the wolf cavalry rushed in, and Shi Dayong also led his own battalion into the city in time.

There is no plan, just a sentence of "let go of your hands and feet to kill".

With the shouts of the rebels at the city gate, the rebels in the city all knew that the officers and soldiers had entered the city, and at this time, they finally let people see what it was to unite as one—all of them were not thinking of resisting the officers and soldiers entering the city, but rushing to the east gate with the large bags and small bags they had snatched. The bags are full of robbed gold and silver, and the appearance of escaping together is indeed unified, I am afraid that this is the same when they rushed into Pingdu City.

Dayong didn't expect that the rebels in the city were really so vulnerable, saying that they were a rabble, and they were like a pile of mud. I also asked someone to fight a few ladders before, and when I was ready for a surprise attack, I would attack hard. Now, the rebels were defeated before they could be touched, and they saved themselves a lot of trouble.

"Kill, let go of your hands and feet to kill!"

The tiger entered the flock, and the Jinzhou army, which had been holding back in the mountains and forests for a few days, descended like a tiger, chopping violently in the city, and the streets were full of corpses that had been cut down. At first, the pro-military camp also set fire guns, but when they found out that it was not as good as cutting with a knife when they had time to release guns, they were all dancing with big knives in an instant.

If you don't spare your life, you can't tell who is a soldier and who is a citizen at this time, so you can only let go of your hands and feet to kill. Fortunately, there were no good people in the city, and most of those who remained had already attached themselves to the thieves, so it was better to cut them down.

In less than half an hour, the Jinzhou army effectively controlled the whole city. After ordering Xiao Cao to lead people to hunt down the thieves who escaped from the east gate, Dayong went to the county government under the leadership of Guo Yi - the thief Jiang Maoran was searched from the well in the backyard, and with him were two young women of eighteen years old.

It was Guo Cheng's soldiers who rushed into the county office, and after cutting down a dozen thieves, they searched everywhere to find out the thief guards. But after asking a few thieves, they all said that they didn't know where the general was. After the last, several soldiers in the backyard suddenly heard shouts from the well, and then Jiang Maoran who was hiding in the well was searched.

Jiang Maoran was betrayed by the two women he robbed, in fact, it was not a betrayal, these two girls had a grudge against him for killing his father and mother, and he was taken by his obscenity in the past, but now that the official army is here, how not to take revenge! It's good that you didn't bite him to death in the well, how can you expect them to hide with you?

Looking at the so-called rebel Pingdu guard general with five flowers, Shi Dayong was angry for no reason, this turtle guard was still a general, and he was on the same level as himself.

This general of his own family bought his life in exchange, this guy is good, and he has become a general by slashing and killing the people.

The wolf horsemen who chased the deserters returned one after another, and everyone's horses were covered with large bags and small bags, bloody, and it seemed that they had gained a lot.

Dayong has no intention of collecting the harvest of his subordinates, but he can't give them all of it. He instructed Xiao Cao to store the spoils of war for the time being, and distribute them uniformly after the two battalions of the left and right infantry and the baggage battalion entered the city. Of course, the distribution of the wolf cavalry army and the cavalry battalion is more important, so that it will not chill the hearts of the infantry who did not participate in the battle, nor will it make the meritorious soldiers feel at a loss.

This was followed by a military order, ordering that food should be searched immediately in the city, and in every corner. The army is running out of food, and it is necessary to find food, even if it is only for one day.

Compared with killing horses for food, Dayong prefers to feed on people. There are so many corpses in the city that you can't really find food, and it's good to use the waste.

Song Qing and Li Dashan led the second battalion of the infantry army and the baggage battalion of Qi Sanbao also arrived one after another an hour later.

Cleaning up the city, counting the spoils of war, arranging defenses, and guarding the prisoners (there were too many rebels in the city, nearly 1,000 prisoners were still captured in Jinzhou, and they were uniformly guarded in Dongcheng by the pro-military battalion), and everything was carried out in an orderly manner.

After inspecting the city, Dayong returned to the county office, only to find that the thief Jiang Maoran was still tied there, and he wanted to know something about Laizhou and Dengzhou from his mouth, but Jiang Maoran didn't know anything. Zhilu is not even as good as Shi Dayong, thinking about the reason why Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng did not regard him as a confidant and did not reveal too much about the whereabouts of the rebels to him.

Dayong was not in the mood to leave Jiang Maoran, so he asked someone to drag him out of the gang and cut him down. At this time, Guo Yi came to report that several women's bodies were found in the backyard, and the deaths were very cruel. After asking the two women, I learned that those women were snatched from the countryside by thieves for Jiang Maoran's lewd pleasure, and they were strangled to death after they got tired of playing. This Jiang Maoran was a fool before he did Dengzhou Arrest, there were many autopsies, and after a long time, he had a special hobby for corpses, especially the corpses of young women, so he asked people to store these corpses in a room in the backyard, and his clothes were all stripped off, and he had to sit alone in that room for a while in the middle of the night every day.

Just sit for a while, sit in front of several women's corpses for a while, do nothing, don't insult the corpses, just sit for a while. No one knows the reason why he did this, Dayong analyzed, I am afraid that it is the reason for this person's psychological pathology.

After kicking Jiang Maoran, who was hanging on the head, in disgust, Dayong waved his hand and asked someone to pull him out of the body and cook him.

It's boiled, it's boiled, the soldiers heard it right, the general asked them to drag the thief out of the gang and cook it.

A group of soldiers obeyed the general's orders, and without any hesitation, they really set up a fire outside, and found a large pot from the kitchen of the county government, took a bucket and brought water, and burned it like this.

After the thief washed and pushed into the cauldron, a group of soldiers gathered in front of the pot, staring intently at the pot one by one, and several times someone wanted to lift the pot to see what the thief had cooked inside, but no one dared to lift it.

The fire was boiled for half an hour, and the smell of meat could be smelled all over the courtyard, but when they thought that the pot was boiling with people, the relatives and soldiers still felt sick.

Li Dashan was attracted by the fragrance, seeing so many people looking at it, thinking that there was meat boiling in the pot, he couldn't help but saliva flowed out, and the big horn pushed aside a group of pro-soldiers, and said, "How did the general quietly cook the meat, Dashan, I haven't tasted meat for a few days, and the bird has already faded out of this mouth, don't say anything, let me fish a piece of the tooth sacrifice first!" He reached out and lifted the lid, and a hot breath accompanied by the fragrance came to his nose, which made him hungry for a while. The probe looked, only glanced at it, but jumped back as if he had seen a ghost, "My mother, human flesh!" ”
