But Yu Xiaotian didn't seem to be in a hurry to attack Pingdu City, but after defeating the rebels in the south of Pingdu, he rested on the spot for two days, summed up the experience of fighting with the rebels this time, and on the one hand, sent people to hurry up and rush to Qingzhou to report the victory, which also left a certain amount of time for Li Fujie and other rebels to prepare for the war.

On the surface, Yu Xiaotian's actions this time seemed a bit unwise, leaving too much time for the rebels to prepare, making the next siege battle a little more difficult.

But Lin Yiyang thinks that it is worth it, because the idea of letting Yu Xiaotian rest for two days this time came from Lin Yiyang's mouth.

At first, Yu Xiaotian didn't understand why Lin Yiyang proposed to suspend the army for two days at this time, wouldn't this leave more time for the Pingdu rebels to prepare?

But after listening to Lin Yiyang's explanation, Yu Xiaotian understood his thoughts, so he immediately ordered a two-day rest in place.

Of course, in the past two days, it was said that the troops had ceased to celebrate, but the cavalry and scouts did not rest, and the scouts rode out in all directions, trampling on the entire Pingdu radius for dozens of miles, and found many small groups of rebels scattered around, and guided the cavalry companies to come over, and carried out a major cleanup of these small groups of rebels who were robbing in the countryside.

In two days, the scout team combined with the cavalry company, and in the vicinity of Pingdu, there were no less than 20 large and small clashes with small groups of rebels.

Among the rebels scattered around Pingdu, there are many rebels who do not collect at night and some elite cavalry, these former old troops of the Dongjiang Army, the combat power on horseback is really quite powerful.

The scouts and cavalry trained by Yu Xiaotian, although they are well equipped and well-trained, but after all, they have few battles, and their actual combat experience on horseback is far less than that of these rebel cavalry, which makes them kill some scattered rebels, but they also pay a certain price for casualties.

In two days, whether it was the scout team or the cavalry company, they each paid the price of twenty or thirty deaths, but at the same time, they also annihilated more than 200 rebel generals, mainly by virtue of their hands, the kind of short guns that can fire on horseback at close range, this kind of double-barreled short guns, sudden, and when hedging with the enemy's horses, they often unexpectedly fire at the rebel cavalry.

The rebel cavalry had never encountered this tactic, and when they were charging on their horses, after a burst of guns, they immediately turned their horses over and were knocked over a lot, but once this round of shooting was over, they did not kill all the rebels, so the next thing was up to their own abilities.

The result is that although the Yu family army has achieved a lot of results, but also suffered a lot of losses, paid a considerable price, after Yu Xiaotian heard the return, the flesh hurt to death, but he also knew that this kind of loss was something he had to bear, his scouts and cavalry, in the end, compared with these rebel elite cavalry and night not collected, a little too tender, without enough life and death fighting, they could not grow up.

Two days later, the rebels in the city also discovered that something was wrong, that they had sent out for the night, and that they had not had time to recover the men and horses, and that within two days, very few people could return to the city, and there was no news of those sent to Laizhou for help.

Li Fujie was a little flustered at this moment, and suddenly, he felt like he was trapped in a cloud of darkness, cutting off his ability to perceive the outside world, and now the Fujian official army outside the city, what the situation was and what it was doing, he didn't know anything.

On the surface, Pingdu City seemed to be solid, but in the past two days, they also felt the strong hatred of the people in the city for them.

When they conquered Pingdu City, they burned and looted in Pingdu City, and did all kinds of evil things to abuse women, just in the city, they killed thousands of county citizens, I don't know how many women were ruined, how many property were robbed, and how many ordinary people were forced to die.

But during this period of time, under their obscenity, these county citizens in the city dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, and lived a precarious life.

Now the citizens of the county have learned that a large army from Fujian sent by the imperial court outside the city has arrived in the south of Pingdu City, and on the official road in the south of the city, they defeated a group of rebels in one fell swoop, killed countless thieves, and almost completely annihilated the rebel army and horses that were sent out.

At this time, these ordinary people in the city secretly ran to tell each other, hid in their homes and gloated, and each secretly scolded that the rebels had finally met their nemesis, and they were really good at killing, and they finally avenged them.

But after the rebels were newly defeated, they immediately closed the city gates, grabbed strong men from house to house, pulled them into their rebels, forced Qingzhuang to follow them to make trouble, and helped them defend the city.

But these ordinary people in Pingdu have long hated these rebels, how can they honestly help the rebels defend the city? Therefore, in the past two days, there will often be people in Pingdu who have been forcibly pulled into strong dings, and they will clash with the rebels and directly fight with the rebels.

Although several rebellions by the people of Pingdu were forcibly suppressed by the rebels, this hatred accumulated much deeper, so that two days later, the rebels in the city all had a sense of horror, and they did not dare to go to some small streets and alleys with one or two people, or even three or five people, to move around, and if they were not careful, they would be killed by the angry people in the city.

Therefore, in the past two days, instead of making sufficient preparations to defend the city, the rebels were highly nervous by the people in the city, for fear that the people in the city would rise up at any time and kill them, or open the city gate to welcome the Fujian officers and soldiers outside the city into the city.

Li Fujie was still very arrogant at the beginning, ordering to kill people and kill Liwei, and whoever disobeyed would be killed, but after killing for two days in a row, instead of feeling that he was suppressing the people in the city, he felt that there seemed to be a violent feeling suppressing in the city, which would erupt at any time.

He himself felt as if he was sitting on a powder keg, and there was a hissing sound under the powder keg, as if the fuse had been ignited, but he didn't know when the powder keg would explode, blowing all their rebels to pieces.

This feeling really made Li Fujie feel very uncomfortable, and he began to feel scared, and he himself realized that this level of peace might not be able to be kept.

Because once those Fujian officers and soldiers come to attack Pingdu City, in addition to defending the city wall and various city gates, they must also be on guard at any time for those people in the city, whether they will suddenly riot, give them a combination of inside and outside, and respond to the officials and troops outside the city to attack the city.

If that's the case, I'm afraid they won't be able to run by then, and they will really become turtles in the urn, and they will all be stuffed in this Pingdu City at that time.

Thinking of this, the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became, and the situation outside was completely cut off, he sent people out to inquire about the news, but there were many people who were sent out, but they were all meat buns and dogs, and there was no return.

So these rebels from top to bottom began to be afraid, and they became more and more nervous, and they didn't know what those Fujian officers and soldiers outside the city were doing, and they didn't come to attack Pingdu City for a long time, and the more they didn't come, the more nervous they became, the more nervous they were, the more scared they were.

So after the third day, Li Fujie and his rebels finally couldn't hold on, and finally Li Fujie decided that he couldn't stay in Pingdu any longer, and if he didn't leave, he might not be able to leave, so in the afternoon of that day, the rebels suddenly opened the north gate, and a swarm of bees under the leadership of Li Fujie poured out of Pingdu City, carrying all kinds of looted goods, and fled in the direction of Laizhou City.

The people in Pingdu City, seeing the rebels suddenly abandon the city and flee, at first they couldn't believe that this was true, but some of them boldly walked out of their homes, and after looking around, they found that the rebels in the city had really fled in a big way, and there were no rebels in the city, so they hurriedly ran to tell each other, and the people in the city immediately let out a cheer.

But after the joy passed, many of them cried loudly again, some cried happily for the rest of their lives, and some cried for their relatives who were killed by the rebels, and some cried bitterly for being robbed of their family's belongings.

Some of the rebels rode horses, some on foot, but without exception, they all carried a full load of belongings, large bags and small bags, which they had recently looted from the city of Pingdu, or from the village forts outside the city.

Now they have abandoned Pingdu City and fled to Laizhou City, but each of them is reluctant to carry these goods, so as long as they can hold it, they are all packed and carried on their backs, and they are bloated to death one by one, so if they can run fast, it will be really hell.

Not a few miles away, the rebels, even men and horses, were tired and out of breath, so they had to stop and rest a little.

But just when they had just relaxed and wanted to take a breath, just around them, a series of horns and cannons suddenly sounded, and countless officials and soldiers poured out from all directions, surrounding this group of rebels, and the rebels were dumbfounded together.

It turned out that after listening to Lin Yiyang's strategy, Yu Xiaotian finally adopted his strategy and decided to use psychological warfare to crush the rebels in Pingdu City.

And in the past few days, he sent scouts and cavalry to clean up the rebels scattered around the city around Pingdu City, in fact, he was putting pressure on the rebels in the city, Lin Yiyang had a good grasp of the rebels' psychology, and it was expected that the rebels were unpopular in the city, and if they wanted to defend the city, then they would have to face the same time as they had to beware of the rebellion of the people in the city, in this way, in a few days, the rebels would not be able to bear the pressure, and finally chose to abandon the city and flee.
