Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 448
Even Luo Cheng was amazed by this harvest.

"Damn, these rebels are really capable. More than a dozen thieves have kidnapped so many people and robbed so much money, food and livestock. They really deserve to die." Before, they thought Luo Cheng was meddling and came to Hebei The fourth child, hearing so many seizures, couldn't help but beam with joy.

I knew that there were a lot of seizures this time, but I didn't expect so many.

Hundreds of thousands of livestock were seized, and more than [-] prisoners were captured.

"It's nothing unusual. These dozens of bandits are now the largest bandits in Hebei and Henan. In the past few years, how many counties and counties have they robbed? Which bandits haven't broken through three or five counties, and even some They also broke through county towns and looted many treasuries. Not to mention that they ran rampant all the way, and the villages they passed were even plundered, just like locusts crossing the border. Wherever they were robbed, the looted proceeds were also taken with the army, so we basically copied all their income in the past few years, of course a lot."

Luo Cheng had expected it a long time ago, but he still didn't expect so many.

The number of people captured in a dozen or so bandit camps alone is quite astonishing. A large county does not have more than 10 households, and it may not have a population of [-].But now they have wiped out all the bandit camps and arrested more than [-] people.

"With so many people, are they going to be slaves?"

"This is the only way for the time being. It is impossible to let them go back to their original places." Luo Cheng said.

It’s not that Luo Cheng is cruel, and followers of thieves will not end well, not to mention that the emperor just ordered all counties and counties to arrest escapees and followers of thieves. The fate can be imagined.

As the consolation ambassador of Henan, he degraded these captured followers into slaves, which is actually considered to be using his privileges to protect them.

"Let's wait for them to plant the land with peace of mind for a few years, and then maybe we can get a pardon for them and let them go for the people."

In the entire Douzigang, there were all kinds of thieves, big and small, but Dou Jiande was the only one left who was not mopped up by Luo Cheng because he became the leading party.

Luo Cheng asked Wang Ziming and the others to arrange for people to start taking the spoils and prisoners back to Qi County, Henan, and then he called Dou Jiande.

"Since you don't want to join the team, and you don't want to be an official, then you can do it yourself."

Dou Jiande thanked Luo Cheng.

"Thank you, handsome."

Leading the way for Luo Cheng, he betrayed all the rebels, but at least he was able to save his own family, and Luo Cheng also gave him some food, which was regarded as his reward.

Arrange everything.

Luo Cheng summoned three thousand Qingqi.

"The task of escorting supplies and prisoners will be handed over to the infantry. Our task is to go to Pingyuan County and catch the rest of the bandits. Let's go!"

Three thousand riders turned back and marched westward.

"Why did you let that Dou Jiande go? He is also a thief after all. If someone finds out that you let him go, it will be troublesome to impeach you."

Luo Cheng smiled.

"Although Dou Jiande is a thief, he knew that the commander-in-chief came to suppress the bandits, so he deliberately surrendered anyway, and even led the way for the commander-in-chief. He is a meritorious minister. Although he is unwilling to receive credit and rewards afterwards, his achievements cannot be erased. As for what will happen to Dou Jiande in the future, no one can predict, at least, now, he has surrendered anyway."

"That said, there's really nothing wrong with it."

"What's wrong with Pingyuan County?" The fourth child asked again.

Plain County City, Ande City.

Rebel soldiers from all walks of life besieged the county city, gathering more than 50 people, known as [-] people.

10,000+ thieves, just looking at the number, it is indeed amazing enough.

The county is surrounded by bandits on all sides, Wu Yangyang's head can't be seen, and bandits and bandits occupy a section of the city wall.

Although the prefect of Pingyuan County, the governor of the county, and the captain of the county called the young and strong soldiers in the city to defend the city, but the second expedition to the east had been ordered, and Pingyuan County had just mobilized a large number of government soldiers to gather in Zhuojun. At this time, the guards in the county were weak.

Although thieves and bandits are mobs, when the number reaches a certain number, quantitative changes can also lead to qualitative changes.

The thieves attacked the city from all directions, day and night.

After three days and three nights of siege, the defenders were exhausted.

Despite all kinds of defenses, in the end when the bandit army led by Du Yanbing and Wang Run besieged Dongcheng, they dug tunnels secretly.The tunnels were dug for three days, and more than a dozen tunnels were dug. They dug under the city wall and erected pillars to support them. There was no longer any support for the city wall, so it rumbled and collapsed with a big gap.

Jun Cheng personally led troops to defend this gap.

But as soon as this side was held, the other side crashed for a while.

In this way, six sections of the city wall collapsed in the east city of Pingyuan County within one day, and finally the officers and soldiers could no longer guard it.

The thieves rushed in and rushed into the county.

The cheers of bandits and bandits sounded from all sides of Pingyuan County, and finally another county was taken down. Although many bandits from all walks of life have raised their troops for several years, it is not easy to break through a county, let alone a county. .

And Pingyuan County has never been breached before, and because of the canal on one side and the Yellow River on the other, Pingyuan County is still very rich.

All kinds of thieves, no matter who broke the city wall, saw that the city was broken, and all kinds of people rushed to enter the city. Anyway, whoever entered the city first would have a chance to grab good things.

Whoever grabs it first will get it, this is the usual practice of all bandits.

Not far.

Luo Cheng listened to Zhang Liang's report.

"Pingyuan county city was breached so quickly, it's only been three days, it seems that we are still a step late. I thought they could last a little longer, so we will first sweep away the lairs of the thieves, and then gather them under the city, It seems that it is still a step too late."

"Marshal, the thieves are scrambling to enter the city, and it's a mess."

"Well, the commander-in-chief also saw it, and ordered the whole army to attack and kill!"

All kinds of thieves were rushing into the city, looting everywhere, and even fighting to grab things. At this time, Luo Cheng suddenly led [-] cavalry to fight out from behind.

Horseshoes are like thunder.

The flag fluttered.

Facing nearly 10,000 bandits and bandits from all walks of life, the 10,000 cavalry led by Luo Cheng did not show the slightest fear.In their eyes, it was not [-]+ soldiers and horses at all, but just [-]+ mobs.

This kind of Wuhe, let alone 10,000+, even if it comes a little more, it is just a delivery.

The sudden arrival of the officer cavalry startled the bandits.

Some people ran to avoid, some shouted to intercept, but at this time most of the thieves and bandits were rushing into the city to fight for things, and it was already a mess.

Qingqi charged and killed, bow shot and wandered away.

Luo Cheng's Qingqi didn't rush into the city, but just wandered and shot around the county town reflexively, one bandit after another fell down, and the bandit collapsed quickly.

"Surround three queues and one, let go and let them escape."

Luo Cheng led his cavalry to charge and kill while giving orders.

After letting go of a hole, the chaotic bandits really didn't think of anything else. Seeing that there was free time there, they rushed to run there. People resisted and fled in succession.
