Zhao Huyong was unstoppable and rushed out with the lead, greatly inspiring the morale of the Ming army.

The gunman and the gunman retreated and loaded ammunition on standby. The five hundred Ming sabres, shields, spearmen and one hundred Ming sabres, cavalry, shouted and faced the rebels and captured the defeated soldiers. The sky was broken and the earth was broken and the sun and the moon were gone. Zhao Hu took the lead and rushed into the enemy formation with a machete to kill all directions. There was almost no enemy under the sword. Wherever he went, the bandits were frightened and were killed by horses. Occasionally, a few people led the horses to fight for life, and were chopped and chopped by Zhao Hu for two consecutive sections, and they died with their eyes closed.

The Ming army became more and more brave as they fought. The physical strength accumulated over the past few days erupted in an instant, and the killing was red. Zhao Hu stared at a horse army covered in blood but wearing a fur robe. He thought it must be a trap general, so he slapped the horse to fight. When the fur robe saw Zhao Hu coming, the horse army actually pulled out a battle knife to meet him. Zhao Hu went up to fight for four or five rounds, and was surprised to find that this guy was very powerful. Maybe he was a big fish. He immediately became interested and cheered up and fought with him for more than twenty rounds, but he could not kill him.

The fur-robed horse army was the horse-raised rabbit who was running away. Seeing that almost all of his subordinates were killed by artillery bird guns, they were just thinking about escaping, but were blocked. The more they fought, they became more and more anxious and fought with Zhao Hu directly. For a moment, Zhao Hu was in danger and was shocked by force and took a step back. His body showed a flaw. He was caught by the horse-raised rabbit and was about to kill Zhao Hu with one knife.

A long spear suddenly appeared, pressing against the battle knife, and another machete of the Strength Rabbit was swung open. When Zhao Hu saw that it was Wang Hui who was slapped to help him, he reacted and took this opportunity to howl and raise the machete and slash it, directly chopping the entire head of the Strength Rabbit with half of its body. Suddenly, blood rushes like a spring, and the intestines flow all over the floor...

Zhao Hu kept a secret and asked Wang Hui to cut off the guy's head. Maybe he was a high-ranking official. The two of them shared the credit equally, and he then slapped the horse to fight the other trapped rebels. Soon, the overall situation was settled. The Ming army stopped defending the four gates and went out together, killing the remnants who were caught off guard and fled in a hurry. Chen Xie directly led more than 500 Ming troops into the rebel camp and killed the remaining guards of the rebel camp. All the rest knelt on the ground and begged for surrender, seized countless weapons and supplies.

Xiao Ruxun ordered the generals around him to take the soldiers from the city to fight, and cooperate inside and outside, attacking from both sides. The Ming army, with great morale, faced the rebels who fled in a hurry. Needless to say, the ending was that after more than an hour of battle, the rebels finally collapsed and knelt down and begged for surrender...

The remaining battle ended until the next day dawn. Xiao Ruxun could not fight, so he personally shot the enemy with bird guns and crossbows. He almost exhausted his energy. It was all Yang Caiyun who supported him by the side to stand firmly. Many of the three generals Zhao Hu, Chen Xie and Wang Hui were injured. There were not many soldiers in the Ming army who could still stand without injury, except for more than 200 gunmen who were forced to withdraw from the battlefield.

The three thousand Ming troops of Xiao Ruxun's troops were also severely injured. After the statistics of the battle situation were released at noon, Xiao Ruxun was heartbroken and found that only more than 700 soldiers were left without injuries, more than 700 were slightly injured, and more than 200 were seriously injured, and all the rest were killed in battle.

The rebels suffered even more heavy losses. According to the indication, the leader of the rebels, Zhu Litu was beheaded by Wang Hui and Zhao Hu. The rebel general, Wei Yun, was killed by the bird gun of unknown person, and died with his eyes open. The rebel deputy general, Wei Yong, was beheaded by Chen Xie's formation. The thirty-seven main generals of the rebels were all killed except for two of them.

The actual force of the rebels was only one hundred and a little over 6,000. More than 4,000 people were either killed by the battlefield or died after returning to the camp. Only one thousand people successfully surrendered and saved their lives. More than 300 horses of the trapped three thousand horses successfully escaped. The Ming army was unable to pursue them. More than 400 surrendered, and the rest died on the battlefield. More than 800 horses were seized.

Xiao Ruxun waved his hand and killed all the surrendered captives! The Ming Dynasty did not need these capricious bandits!

So these traps tied up and disarmed became living targets for gunmen, and were shot to death by the murderous Ming army, scaring the thousand rebel soldiers who were not killed so much that they knelt down and begged for mercy. Some even had incontinence and were full of ugly appearances.

"Before you, you are a soldier of the Ming Dynasty, and you were encircled to follow the thief, and the rebellion was not the original intention. There are also old mothers in your family. I will not kill you, but you must use your own merits to make the merits worthy of your crime! From now on, you will be incorporated into the army and serve as the vanguard of our army. If you want to survive, you must continue to fight until the rebellion is quelled! I will not report the rebellion of you and others! But if there are those who do not follow, kill!"

Xiao Ruxun shouted out the word "kill" with murderous intent. Wang Hui immediately shouted that the gunmen "raised the gun". The gunmen who were red-eyed raised their guns one after another, and they killed them just when someone opposed it. Seeing the Ming army surrounded by murderous intent, these rebels dared not object? Originally, they were surrounded by their respective officers and had no practical position. They would follow whoever was their general. When they really wanted to rebel, they were discouraged and thought of going to the dark side. Unexpectedly, they were in a desperate situation and had a glimmer of hope for survival.

"How dare you not obey the general's order!"

More than a thousand rebels showed no sign of resistance, and all knelt down to show their obedience. Xiao Ruxun ordered Zhao Hu to command the rebel vanguard himself.

At this point, the offensive and defensive battle in Pinglu City, which lasted half a month, ended with a complete victory of Xiao Ruxun, the troops of the Ming army.

Xiao Ruxun's troops had 3,000 people, and only 1,500 people survived after the war. All the rest were killed in battle, and only 700 people could stand intact. In terms of the rebels, the troops were about 9,000, including 3,000 trapped and 300 escaped. All the rest were killed. All the rebels were killed. Except for more than 1,000 people surrendered and more than 500 fled in a hurry, more than 4,500 rebels were killed. All the intact heads were cut off and piled up like mountains. A rough count was that there were 6,000.

The Ming army that survived felt fortunate. It was necessary to know that the Ming army had to pay their merits according to the head level. Ordinary border frictions of one or two hundred would be a great victory. This time, it actually killed 6,000 levels, of which nearly 3,000 were serious traps. That was a shocking great achievement. Everyone was thinking about what kind of reward they could get!

Zhao Hu, Wang Hui, Chen Xie, the three generals were overjoyed. The three of them each had great achievements. This time they would definitely be promoted and rewarded. They would laugh when they sat together. The remaining Ming troops also had the blessing of surviving the disaster. They relaxed from the high-intensity war state. Many people collapsed to the ground and fell asleep.

Looking at the rising sun, Xiao Ruxun sighed softly and said to Yang Caiyun: "Caiyun, this is the first victory for you for your husband. Next, you will win many more victory for your husband. I will definitely earn you a royal decree for you!"

Yang Caiyun no longer dared to look at the battlefield like a sea of ​​blood. He buried his head in Xiao Ruxun's arms, just nodded slightly and said nothing.

After sending Yang Caiyun back home to settle down, Xiao Ruxun also had to prepare for a series of things after the war, the pensions of the dead soldiers, the settlement of family members, the cleaning of the battlefield, the writing and delivery of military newspapers, etc., and the most important thing is what to do next, whether to stay still or take the initiative, all of which require Xiao Ruxun to do it himself.

It is certainly gratifying to defeat, but the price required to be paid was really painful. More than 1,500 people were killed in the Ming army, and 1,500 families suddenly became a family that lost their pillars and lost their pillars. Although there were many military households and other males in the family, after sorting out, there were nearly 600 families with no men in the family, only lonely women and young children.

Looking at the scenes of crying and burning white paper, Xiao Ruxun suddenly felt that the victory she had won was so sad. Although victory was a victory, these families had lost happiness forever. Without the support of men, can a family be considered a family? And what Xiao Ruxun could do was to do his best to give them more pensions in person, but these women still cried with the money.

How can Xiao Ruxun be calm when this situation is here?

Unable to bear to see the howling of these women who lost their men, Xiao Ruxun turned around and left the residential area. Wang Hui, who was following him, seemed to see Xiao Ruxun's sadness and comforted him: "Since ancient times, where are there immortals in the war? General should not be too sad."

Xiao Ruxun recalled the dead comrades who had died in the past and present lives and said sadly: "A general succeeded and his bones were undone. My fame and fortune were exchanged for my life, but all I could do was to give them a pension of more than ten taels of silver. Without the support of the pillars, how can orphans and widows live? It is not easy for widows with children to remarry. If they do not remarry, can more than ten taels of silver allow them to persist until they raise their children? They are all my subordinates, but I cannot do more for their wives and children... No wonder people in the world say that soldiers are ominous, and the place of life and death!"

Wang Hui could only sigh deeply.

Outside the city, especially in the Nancheng Pass, the battlefield cleaning was also proceeding in an orderly manner. Xiao Ruxun ordered all the corpses of the rebels and horses to be burned with fire and could not be kept, and then he began to arrange the recruitment of civilians in the city to repair the city wall.

During the whole day, Xiao Ruxun was running around the city and was not able to go home until night. After having supper, he plunged into the study. Yang Caiyun was worried that her husband's body would not be able to hold on, so he stewed the soup of the old ginseng brought from home to the study room for Xiao Ruxun to drink. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Xiao Ruxun writing something at his desk.
