Chapter 153: Seeking the Moon at the End of the Road
The battle has come to an end.
The rebels were rushing to pieces by wall charges.
Although Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing's personal soldiers fought to the death and refused to surrender, they were difficult to reverse the situation.
They were all killed by the Tianqi Camp, and their heads were cut down and piled up into small hills.
The other ordinary soldiers naturally had no intention of resisting. Except for a very few escapes, most of them knelt down and begged for mercy.
Chen Liu decided to execute all of these rioters.
These people were originally soldiers and followed Liu Liangzuo, and Liu Zeqing's crime of rebellion was unforgivable.
After learning that they could not escape, the soldiers fled in all directions. But how could they run past the cavalry on both legs?
Most of the rebel soldiers were chased by the cavalry and chopped over to the ground.
There were also some rioters who fought stubbornly, but the result was the same, but they experienced more pain.
The killing lasted for nearly an hour.
By the time the cavalry of the Tianqi Camp killed all the rebels, the outside of Dengzhou City had already flowed into a river.
Yuan Weitai, the governor of Dengzhou at the top of the city, saw all this in his eyes and felt very happy.
In his opinion, the sudden appearance of the Tianqi Camp is like a divine weapon falling from the sky.
Of course these rebel soldiers should die, and Yuan Weitai would not have any sympathy. After all, if it weren't for the appearance of the Tianqi Camp, the people who died would have died.
Yuan Weitai immediately ordered the Township Yong to remove the stones blocked in the city gate and leave the city to welcome the imperial army.
Because the stones were blocked too hard, it took the village warriors a long time to move all the stones away.
Yuan Weitai was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, fearing that the commander of the imperial army would think that he was deliberately neglecting.
When Yuan Weitai left the city, the soldiers of the Tianqi Camp were working to clean the battlefield.
They cut off the heads of all the rebel soldiers from the bodies and pinned them to the saddle.
Although the heads of rebel soldiers are not very valuable, they have a large number of successes. Basically, each soldier in the Tianqi Battalion can be assigned to more than a dozen heads.
"Our mansion thanks General for helping his life on behalf of the people of Dengzhou City!"
Yuan Weitai did not know the specific identity of the general in command, so he called him a general, which was the safest thing.
Chen Liu followed forward with one hand, holding the reins in one hand, waved his hand and said, "You are polite to Yuanfu. Chen is the order of the court to pursue and suppress the rebels, and it is natural to relieve the danger of Dengzhou."
"No matter what, General Chen saved tens of thousands of people in Dengzhou City!"
Yuan Weitai sighed and said with emotion: "This mansion will definitely write a memorial to the court to commend General Chen's achievements."
Chen Liu felt that he was riding on the horse, but Yuan Weitai was standing very inappropriate, so he kicked the stirrup and turned over and dismounted.
He hugged Yuan Weitai and said, "I would like to thank Yuan Fuzun for his good words."
"Haha, it's all right. Let's do it. General Chen is tired of going to fight to kill the enemy. Why not join us in the city and have a banquet together?"
"In this way, Chen is more respectful than obedient."
"Please, General Chen!"
"Please ask Yuan Mansion!"
...
...
"Damn it, when will this end?"
Liu Liangzuo shook the whip, beat the whip flower, and said angrily.
"Old brother, I see there is a village ahead, so why don't we go in and take a break."
Liu Zeqing only felt thirsty and couldn't hold on anymore.
"Okay, I'm so thirsty anyway."
The two drove to the small village.
When he arrived at the millstone at the east entrance of the village, Liu Liangzuo frowned and said, "I always feel something is wrong."
"Old brother, you are so attentive. You are just an ordinary village. Come in quickly."
Liu Zeqing knocked his feet against the horse's belly and went ahead.
Hopefully, I'm overthinking it!
Liu Liangzuo sighed, and drove the cavalry to follow.
The more they walked in, the more they felt something was wrong. The ordinary village was bustling, and every house in this village was closed, and there was no one on the road.
"I've seen a ghost!"
Liu Liangzuo scolded and gave himself courage.
As the saying goes, you don’t have to worry about ghosts knocking on the door if you don’t do anything bad.
But Liu Liangzuo did too much trouble, which made him suspicious when he saw everything.
"Old brother, come and see, there is a well here!"
Liu Zeqing's eyes were pointed, and he immediately discovered a well not far away, jumped off his horse and ran away quickly.
Prosperity!
Liu Liangzuo secretly complained in his heart.
But after swallowing, his thirst was still overwhelming, and Liu Liangzuo also jumped off his horse and ran towards the well.
The well looked very deep. Liu Zeqing put the wooden barrel into the bucket to draw water. Liu Liangzuo complained, "Damn it, God knows that one day I will fall into getting water in such a remote village!"
"Old brother, it's good to drink it with water!"
Liu Zeqing filled the water and lifted the wooden barrel up and said, "Let's go and touch it when we have enough to see what to eat."
Liu Zeqing didn't think about the future, so he should take one step at a time.
"Oh, the tiger falls into the sun, the tiger falls into the sun!"
Liu Liangzuo sighed for emotion, and saw that Liu Zeqing had already lifted the wooden barrel, he stepped forward and said, "Brother Zeqing, let me drink some first!"
After saying that, he directly scooped a handful of water with both hands and put it into his mouth.
Liu Liangzuo was extremely dissatisfied with this. He thought to himself that you were rushing to drink the water I fetched by myself. It was shameless.
However, he didn't want to have a conflict with Liu Liangzuo again at this time, so he didn't say much.
After Liu Liangzuo had almost finished drinking, Liu Zeqing took the wooden barrel and scooped water to drink.
At this moment, the two of them suddenly heard a loud shout.
"Friends, the riots have entered the village, come quickly!"
He turned his head and saw many farmers carrying hoes and manure forks rushing out from all directions.
These people ran towards them with a fierce look, their eyes full of anger.
"Don't get me wrong, we are not soldiers!"
Liu Liangzuo's first reaction was to escape. However, his mount was dozens of steps away, so it was difficult to get in front of the mount as soon as possible.
Not long after, the villagers surrounded Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing.
"I'm also quibbling, if you weren't bandits, why would you have crossbows on your horses and why would you be so worn like this!"
A strong man scolded.
It's reasonable for him to say this. After all, the imperial court strictly prohibits the people from possessing crossbows.
Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo had a complete set of crossbows on their backs, so they confirmed their identity as Qiu Ba.
A serious warrior should be dressed neatly even without saying that helmets and armors are not mentioned. There are no ones like Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo who only wear plain clothes, while the other is simply shirtless.
What is it like being so vulgar and shameless?
"I..."
Liu Zeqing wanted to refute but was interrupted by the strong man and said, "You are not rioters. Normal soldiers are staying in the barracks. How could they run to our village to steal water and drink!"
The man paused and turned to an old man with white hair and beard: "Class leader, according to me, the atrocities that slaughtered Hongluo Bay not long ago were the part of these two people."
"Yes, Brother He is right. They must have done it. Everyone will beat them to death!"
