The rise of the prince

Chapter 282
Fireworks filled the darkness, and light spots climbed to the ground, illuminating the sky, and one could smell the pungent gunpowder smoke in the darkness.

The sound of shouting and killing has never stopped. In the middle of the night, the night wind blew up, and several fires became bigger. There were forests all around, and the camp was only a few dozen steps away. It is now the end of spring, and the spring breeze has blown for a long time, and the sky is dry , Xiang Jun had to organize manpower to put out the fire.

And King Pingnan's personal soldiers, those strange soldiers with fire-breathing poles, remained motionless all night, allowing others to loot them, and still guarding the barn of the big camp, not allowing anyone to approach.

Qi Fang had to admire.

Seeing the smoke and dust billowing everywhere and the camp screaming to kill the sky, Qifang felt unreal.

A few days ago, she would never have imagined such a result.

The rebels resisted from dusk to after dark, and all fled southward, almost collapsing at the first touch.

The Suzhou rebels who drove Luzhou into a desperate situation and made them panic, the rebels who were feared by word of mouth, and the rebels whose reputation alone could scare them into restless food and drink were defeated in this way, and they were defeated cleanly. In the rebel camp.

Out of hatred and out of blood, many people even chased out of the camp and chased all the way south until they reached the vicinity of Lengfengqing. When they saw the lights of Linyang City, they were stopped by King Pingnan.
The people all over the mountains and plains, the people who are more brave than the Xiang army, beat the rebels to pieces with hatchets, hoes, pitchforks, and wooden sticks. They are like beasts that are not afraid of death.

She didn't know what kind of sorcery King Pingnan used, or what kind of bewitching spells, to make these tens of thousands of people, many village braves, united as one, to fight for him and not fear death for him.

Looking at King Pingnan who was standing on the slope of the big camp, planning strategies, and dispatching messengers to control the situation from time to time, and dispatching the common people's army, she couldn't help being impressed.

Qi Fang has always been conceited, and at this time she couldn't help thinking in her heart, maybe this is the majesty of the Tian family and the domineering king.

"The emperor's grandson, the son of Prince Xiao, Li Xingzhou, the king of Pingnan County." She couldn't help but meditate in her heart, then turned around and took her second brother with her own soldiers to complete the task assigned to them by King Pingnan, find the camp of the Chinese army, occupy and Blocked, no one is allowed to destroy it, in case it is looted by the people.

Although the resistance in the general situation had already disintegrated when night fell, the small battles were not over, and there were still many confrontations and bloodshed in the camp.

After all, there are tens of thousands of rebels. Although the exact number is not known, it can be seen from the camp that stretches four or five miles from north to south, and the mountains from east to west are as wide as a city.

The chaos continued throughout the night, and the small-scale confrontation did not end until dawn. The shouts of killing could be heard from time to time in the camp, and the looting of the people did not subside until the early morning of the next day.

Qifang and his second brother Qirui completed the task of King Pingnan.

But on the wooden frame not far from the main camp of the Chinese army, they also found the head of the eldest brother. The two were deeply saddened.

As for the dead body, I'm afraid it's difficult. I don't know how many people died last night. In addition, the high-level rebels have already fled. In the mountains and wild forests, in the wilderness, it is impossible to know where the eldest brother's body is placed.

The sun rose in the morning, after a night of killing, the camp was still filled with the smell of blood, and there were people looting the surrounding camps everywhere, and many places were the charcoal left after the flames burned overnight.

Many people still had dried blood on their faces, and some were injured and lying on the ground wailing, but no matter what, everyone had excitement and pride written on their faces.

The messengers carrying the yellow flag of King Pingnan ran in the camp, shouting constantly: "Pingnan King has an order that armor, weapons, and horses should be handed over to the north of the camp, and bedding, cotton wool, cloth yarn, and food should be kept for personal use. , The rebel army camp stores [-] shi of food, and those who have no food follow me to the northwest of the camp to get food, take your time, there is plenty of food, don’t be afraid of running out.”

"The king of Pingnan ordered that the armor, weapons, and war horses be handed over to the north of the camp, and the bedding, cotton wool, cloth yarn, and food are kept for personal use. The rebel camp stores [-] shi of food. If there is no food, follow me to the northwest of the camp to get food. Don't worry. There is plenty of food, don't be afraid of running out!"

"."

Wherever the messenger went, the people knelt down and shouted the name of King Pingnan, some even shed tears, probably never thought that there would be such a turning point, such an opportunity.

The sound repeated from far to near, and several fast horses shuttled through the camp.

Afterwards, the battlefield was cleaned up, and the distribution of food also started in an orderly manner.

Qifang couldn't help thinking, this is the power of the people of Luzhou, but why no one could do it before?Not to mention doing it, uniting so many people with one heart and one mind, no one dares to think about it even if they think about it.

Last night, as soon as King Pingnan entered the camp, he rushed directly to the granary. Now it seems that he was extremely clever. It not only avoided the danger of looting and riots caused by the common people, but also gave alms. From then on, no one in Luzhou will not remember it The grace of Pingnan King's life.

After more than an hour, the sun was shining brightly, and Qifang and Qirui finally saw King Pingnan riding a horse from the North Avenue Mountain in Daying.

He was only followed by Yan Shen, who was always around at all times, and his armor was still stained with blood. It could be seen that they were not easy last night, and they must have fought bravely, but thankfully he was fine.

"Reporting to King Pingnan, the tent of the Chinese army has been kept intact and has not been looted." Before she had time to speak, the second elder brother had already stepped forward to report excitedly. When he saw King Pingnan, the second brother's eyes lit up.

Qifang was a little upset, took a deep breath, and then also stepped forward to kneel down.

"Hahaha, get up, you've done a good job, follow me in and have a look." He laughed happily.

Hearing Pingnan King's praise, the second elder brother was also very happy, and followed him into the big tent.

Qi Fang snorted, and followed in. The large tent of the Chinese army is very spacious and luxuriously furnished, just like a small royal court. The leather cushions on the seats in the middle are made of fine striped tiger skin, and the floor is covered with felt, which is very luxurious .

On the desk next to it, there are a lot of letters, maps, etc., and there are also papers scattered on the ground when the rebels fled.

Seeing this, King Pingnan was even more happy, "I just want these, but I didn't expect them to be left for this king."

Qi Fang glanced at it, and understood the reason why King Pingnan asked her to stick to this place and not allow the people to loot it. In the large tent of the Chinese army, there must be many letters from high-level rebels, records of mountains and rivers, and details of the layout of the city defense. It is a treasure for marching and fighting.

In the afternoon, the dust of the war settled.

The rebels hardly resisted. They only resisted for a while in the middle camp, and then they were driven out of the camp by hungry people like wolves and tigers. They fled south and chased them all the way to the bank of the Lengfengqing River. Chase again.

In the end, thousands of rebels were killed and injured, and more than 600 people were captured and imprisoned in the northern walled city.

The casualties of the people were also close to a thousand. More than 300 people could not be treated at all.
