"Brother Yi, I'm here, am I too late?" Shi Gandang shouted excitedly.
Zhang Yidian was sitting on the horse, standing there with one man and one horse, looking extremely majestic. He greeted his brothers with a smile, and General Wang Zheng led the imperial army to outflank the enemy's retreat.
"It's not too late, little fat man!" Zhang Yi raised his head and laughed, then raised the Panlong stick in his hand high. When the four thousand warriors who came saw Zhang Yi, they all raised their arms and shouted.
"Brother, we are here!"
"If anyone dares to harm my sworn brother, I'll kill my grandson!"
"Let that son of a bitch learn a lesson and you will know how powerful our Mopan City is!"
The warriors roared like thunder.
"Brothers, follow me and kill, no one will be spared!"
Zhang Yi issued the most ruthless battle orders, and he hated the traitors with deep hatred.
Turning their horses' heads, Zhang Yi and Shi Gandang led four thousand warriors and roared towards the tens of thousands of frightened rebels.
The black-armored iron cavalry from Mopan City lined up in the field, rolling in like a wave. The warriors shot arrows, and the rebels fell on their backs. Before they could engage in battle, they were frightened to death.
These mobs are swordsmen, ruffians, thieves and bandits that Wu Rui gathered from all over the kingdom. They usually fight fiercely and are extremely arrogant. They have never been on a big battlefield. What they encountered now are famous for their bravery in the world.
The elite of Mopan City suddenly withered.
It was too late to run away.
The warriors of Mopan City raised their swords horizontally and rushed into the rebels, cutting off their heads like ears of wheat. Shi Gandang raised his iron-handled eight-edged hammer and swiped it, killing a large number of them.
Zhang Yi canceled the no-kill policy on surrender. The goal of this battle was to completely annihilate the enemy. What he faced was not the regular army, but the evil forces. These guys did all kinds of evil, and everyone deserved their death.
There are tigers in front of them and wolves in the back. The rebels have no way to go to heaven and no door to the earth. Many of them are brave, but they are helpless in the face of the well-trained forest guards and the more powerful warriors of Mopan City.
Zhang Yi commanded his troops to surround the enemy and launch a righteous killing spree.
A few hours later, the fields were littered with corpses and rivers of blood. More than 40,000 rebels were killed, and only a small number escaped. The Royal Forest Army officers searched but could not find the bodies of Wu Rui and his son.
Zhang Yi expected that when they saw that the situation was not good, they fled in advance.
It was already sunset, and there were still 10,000 or 20,000 rebels remaining in the city. Zhang Yi led the imperial army and Mopan City warriors into the city, and spread out to kill the remaining enemies.
Wu Rui and his son did not return to Chang'an. They knew that the rebellion failed. One hundred thousand people fought for a day and night but failed to capture the palace. It was like a waste. With the arrival of the Mopan City warriors, the last glimmer of hope was also killed.
Wu Rui escaped, the main force of the rebels was wiped out, and the news quickly spread throughout the city as if it had wings.
The major families quickly seized the last opportunity to perform meritorious deeds and mobilized bravery to eliminate the rebels. They finally saw the situation clearly. The common people also poured into the streets, searching every corner, not letting go of any evil thief.
At night, the shouts of killing subsided, and the cheers of victory resounded throughout Chang'an.
The heads of the family came to the palace to meet King Liu Kai and Zhang Yi.
In the ruins of Shangyuan Hall, King Liu Kai sat on the throne. Zhang Yi sat on a chair next to him. He was a little tired. Princess Xiao Liu snuggled next to her lover, holding his arms.
Shoulder.
Normally this would not be possible, but at this moment, people are looking at this couple with joy. Their love is as strong as iron and has withstood the test of blood and fire.
Xiaolong, Xiao Han, Shi Gandang, Wang Zheng and the leaders were lined up on both sides, all of whom had made great achievements.
The imperial guards and Mopan City warriors gathered inside and outside the hall, the torches were bright, illuminating everyone's face with the joy of victory.
The family heads filed in, knelt down to worship the king and the chief minister, and first told their own difficulties, looking for excuses for not rescuing them in time.
King Liu Kai didn't say a word, he just looked at his daughter and son-in-law lovingly. The person who was talking now was Zhang Yi and Zhang Shoufu, of which the King was certain.
Zhang Yi squinted at the group of guys kneeling on the ground. He and Xiao Liu learned the squinting action, and their movements and expressions were synchronized. Xiao Liu also learned to stay calm no matter what happened, just like Zhang Yi.
Calmly.
To be honest, Zhang Yi wanted to go up and slap these guys. If the major families rescued them in time, Chang'an City would not have suffered so much damage, and the rebels could be defeated without even waiting for the reinforcements from Mopan City.
But he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and his father also comforted him with his eyes. Those who want to achieve great things sometimes have to tolerate dirt. Most people like to be opportunistic and cannot blindly care about the overall situation.
So Zhang Yi took a few breaths and said.
"The rebellion broke out suddenly, and Wu Rui spread rumors to confuse the public. You are excusable for not seeing the situation clearly in time. Everyone, the unification of the northwest is hard-won. We must work together to safeguard the overall situation and resolutely wipe out all rebels. Wu
The remnants of Rui are scattered all over the place and need to be suppressed one by one. I hope you will give them your full support!"
The family heads were ashamed and hurriedly expressed their full support to completely eliminate Wu Rui's remnants.
"Master Chief Assistant, I have a humble guess that Wu Rui and his son may have gone to join General Liu Guangda. A greater disaster is yet to come!" Master Yang reported.
In order to win over the major families, Wu Rui once threatened to get the support of the army, but he did not dare to hide this important information.
There was a lot of discussion among the family heads for a while. Although they were supported by the warriors of Mopan City, they still had few people. How could they stop the army?
"Don't worry, everyone. With my father here, I don't believe that the soldiers will obey the orders of Wu Rui and Liu Guang!" Princess Xiaoliu couldn't help but said, "They were just deceived. As soon as my father comes forward, the soldiers will be killed."
He will defect immediately!"
The people present could not help but nod, this possibility was extremely high. Wu Rui rebelled and wanted to kill the king and Zhang Yi first. Once the king died, the soldiers could only bow and obey orders. Now that the king is safe and sound, how could the soldiers follow Wu Rui and Liu Guang.
People's hearts suddenly became much more peaceful.
Having said that, it is still necessary to think carefully. Zhang Yi ordered people from all the major families to collect the weapons of the rebels and arm them. They climbed the city wall overnight, blocked the city gates, and prepared to resist the enemy.
All officials in Chang'an City were mobilized to organize the people to put out the fires in the city, treat the wounded, clean up the corpses, and gather them for cremation.
Three thousand imperial guards and four thousand Mopan City warriors are resting and recuperating. Tomorrow the Hussars General Niu Ben will arrive with another four thousand warriors. With these eleven thousand elites here, Chang'an City will be as stable as Huashan Mountain.
In addition, those who participated in quelling the chaos will receive rewards, and the court will also distribute money and food to the people in the city as compensation.
