Chapter 2830: The rebel army was destroyed in two days, and Arthur captured Mao Sui
"Well, among the thirteen powerful families and three sects in Yingchuan, nine surrendered and the other three rebelled. All three sects rebelled, and none of them surrendered."
Looking at the information in his hand, Ying Hao had a strange look in his eyes. He obviously saw something strange in it, and most generals did not pay much attention to the rebels.
Although the Qin army failed to do their best in suppressing the Yingchuan rebels for the first time, it did not prevent them from despising the rebels.
First of all, the Qin army itself started by suppressing the rebels, so when facing the rebels, they had a sense of superiority from top to bottom.
Secondly, Lu Zhao, Huang Ma and other famous generals did not take action. The two young generals Huang Xu and Ma Dai, with only 2,000 troops, were able to defeat 30,000 to 40,000 rebels many times.
Then if famous generals are dispatched and four or five thousand troops are brought along, wouldn't it be possible to sweep them across and crush them?
The most important thing for the army is strength. Although the Yingchuan Rebel Army defeated the surrendered Demon Sect forces, their subsequent performance was too low, and it was naturally difficult for them to gain the respect of the Qin Army.
Finally, people within the Qin Army generally felt that this group of rebels had lost their minds. After all, it was not good to start an uprising anywhere, but under the eyes of the Qin Army. This was simply asking for death.
Therefore, the generals of the Qin Army generally do not take the rebels seriously. The higher-ranking generals of the Qin Army are not even willing to lead the army to suppress the rebels, because they will not get much credit if they win, so it is better to let the juniors train. .
Ying Hao naturally would not despise the rebels like these generals, because there were actually deeper reasons hidden behind this bizarre uprising.
The reason why the Yingchuan Demon Sect forces dared to report a rebellion was naturally due to the instigation of Cao Wei and the Demon Sect. But didn’t they know before the instigation that an uprising under the eyes of the Qin army was no different from seeking death?
They must have known it, but they still did it, obviously for other purposes.
Although the Yingchuan rebels are large in number, their combat effectiveness is too weak. It is obviously impossible to hold back the Yingchuan Qin army. The people of Cao Wei and Momen are not so stupid.
But one thing is that on the territory of the Wei, Song and Ming Kingdoms, there were eighteen rebel armies from the Demon Sect, totaling more than 100,000 people, but there was no trouble at all within the Three Kingdoms.
On the contrary, in the occupied Yingchuan area, the rebel army grew wildly in a short period of time. Although this could not hurt the Qin army, it caused great damage to Yingchuan.
The Yingchuan Demon Sect was unwilling to surrender. Although they were deceived into rebelling, there was no turning back as long as they raised the flag of rebellion.
In order to protect themselves, they can only continue to expand their army, but except for the staunch believers of the White Lotus Sect, most people will definitely not believe their lies, so they will definitely do this kind of thing.
Although most of the population of Yingchuan is within the city, there is still a large population outside the city, and they cannot withstand the forcible conquest of the rebels.
Hence, the real purpose of Cao Wei and Momen is already obvious, which is to use this group of thugs who dare not surrender to mess up Yingchuan. It is best to completely turn Yingchuan into a scorched earth under the destruction of the rebel army.
I have to say that although this trick is unethical, it is very effective.
If it can be done, it will take a lot of time for the Qin army to stabilize the rear, and it will naturally indirectly play a role in delaying the pace of the Qin army.
Yingchuan is the most populous and wealthy county in Cao Wei. Ying Hao is also planning to use this place as a bridgehead for annexing the Central Plains. Naturally, he cannot let the rebels continue to cause harm in Yingchuan.
“Who is the lobbyist sent by Cao Wei this time? To be able to persuade the three major sects of Yingchuan to rebel, this is definitely not something ordinary people can do.”
Ying Hao looked at Guo Jia and asked, after all
After all, to rebel under the eyes of the Qin army, you dare to do such a thing that is almost certain to die. Either the leaders of the three major sects are fools, or the lobbyists sent by Cao Wei are very eloquent.
“Your Majesty, it’s Mao Sui. This person’s eloquence is really great, but the reason why he was able to convince the three sects is mainly because the connection between these three sects and the Demon Sect is too deep.
Especially the Scorpion Sect and the Money Gang, they have done many things to take people's lives and act as a scapegoat. Although the situation of the Yellow River Gang is better, it is not much better. Even if they surrender, they will be liquidated sooner or later, so they will embark on the road of rebellion. . "
Hearing Guo Jia's words, Ying Hao couldn't help but sigh: "I took it for granted before, and I should clean up the Central Plains Demon Sect cleanly and completely like now."
This time the Demon Sect launched an uprising in Yingchuan. After Ying Hao saw the cult's ability to deceive people, he was even more grateful for his decision to take action against the Demon Sect.
There are still many gangs such as the Scorpion Sect, the Money Gang, and the Yellow River Gang in the Central Plains, but no matter how many there are, they will not threaten the rule of the Qin Dynasty. Instead, the White Lotus Sect and the Shura Sect, this kind of cult-like religion, are the real power of the Qin Dynasty. A serious concern.
Ordinary people do not have much ability to distinguish, but once they become believers of the White Lotus Sect and Shura Sect, it is like being demoted. The sects will do whatever the sect says, even if it involves involving the whole family to rebel.
Now the Central Plains is full of believers of these two religions, otherwise the Demon Sect Rebel Army would not be able to expand its army by hundreds of thousands in a short period of time.
If we wait until the Central Plains is conquered before liquidating, the investigation and evidence collection alone will take who knows how long. It will definitely affect the future march south to attack Chu, and it will also be difficult to completely clean up these monsters. There is a high probability that they will come back in the future.
Therefore, it is better to let them jump out on their own initiative, so that the Qin army can deal with them at once. Although this is more destructive, it is better than the hidden dangers.
If the Central Plains is already chaotic enough, Ying Hao doesn't mind getting a little more chaotic. Moreover, great order will come only after great chaos.
“Where is the location of this group of rebels now?” Ying Hao asked.
“This group of rebels originally wanted to attack Yangzhai. After being defeated by Huang Xu and Ma Dai, they fled to the direction of Xiangcheng. Along the way, they also arrested strong men and sent them to the army, and expanded the Wubao in Luyang Mountain area.”
Hearing Guo Jia's words, a cold light flashed in Ying Hao's eyes. The war is between the armies of the two countries, but there are always people who want to drag innocent civilians into the water.
"Looking at the route of this group of rebels, I'm afraid they want to escape to the Song Dynasty. But if they continue to the south, they will encounter Han Xin in Yang. The north and east directions are where the main force of our army is, and the west direction is where our army is. The grain roads are also heavily guarded.
Without escaping Yingchuan, failing to capture the city, and unable to defend the city, the only option is to expand Wu Fort, shrink to one side, and reduce the sense of presence as much as possible.
But if they think that they can let our army go, they would be too naive. "Guo Jia sneered.
After hearing this, Ying Hao shook his head and said: "No, this is exactly what Cao Wei was aiming for. When our army sends troops to encircle and suppress them again, this group of rebels has no hope of survival. God knows what crazy things they will do? So, This time the troops will be dispatched quickly, accurately and ruthlessly, and we will try to deal with this group of rebels at once without fighting a second battle. "
Among the Yingchuan Qin army, there were many generals who were good at commanding cavalry and fighting fast battles, such as Lu Bu and Zhao Yun, but they were both in Xuchang. If they were deployed to attack, it would easily give the rebels a chance to react.
After thinking for a while, Ying Hao thought of another person, and that was Arthur.
Arthur is good at cavalry warfare, and there are a thousand cavalry in the Detachment of Women. Add another thousand cavalry to it, and two thousand Qin cavalry are enough to sweep away the thirty to forty thousand rebel army.
“Immediately sent an order to Phoenix Hou Arthur, ordering him to lead two thousand cavalry to fight first to suppress the rebels. Huang Xu and Ma Dai followed closely with five thousand infantry.”
In order to prevent the rebels from causing greater damage to Yingchuan, Ying Hao dispatched a total of 2,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry, a total of 7,000 troops. For the rebel army, which was mostly strong men, it was no longer enough. No more attention.
After receiving Ying Hao's order, Arthur was naturally overjoyed. Her women's army was not as picky as other Qin troops. Anyway, she couldn't take over other armies, so she would fight when there was a battle, which was better than sitting idle.
The Detachment of Women has a total strength of 10,000 troops, with a mix of infantry and cavalry. It has been divided into two.
Five thousand of them, led by Fan Lihua, went north to Chenliu to support Zhang Liao. Arthur led the remaining 5,000 men to garrison Yingyang.
Of the 5,000 women's army in Yingchuan, there were only 1,000 cavalry. The other 1,000 cavalry given to Arthur by Ying Hao were in Yangzhai, and the leading general was Ji Ling.
After Ji Ling surrendered, he helped the Qin army pacify a large number of Cao Wei's surrendering troops. As a result, he gained Ying Hao's trust and was appointed deputy general of the first army and stationed in Jiaxian County.
After the Yingchuan Uprising, when the rebel army surrounded Yangdi, Ji Ling led the Jiaxian garrison to come to support him. Later, he stayed in Yangdi and was promoted and the subtitle was removed.
This time the Qin army suppressed the rebel army, Ji Ling was fortunate enough to be selected to lead a thousand Qin cavalry and accompany Arthur to fight.
Arthur has the skill of "God of Riding" and leads the cavalry to march very fast. Yingyang is obviously further away from Xiangcheng than Yangzhai, but he arrives one step ahead.
Arthur did not wait too long. Ji Ling arrived three hours later. After the two counties met, he learned that Ma Dai and Huang Xu's infantry were less than a hundred miles away from Luyang. He immediately rushed to Luyang at full speed without stopping. .
Although Ma Dai and Huang Xu withdrew their troops before, they did not withdraw to their original positions. They just withdrew into the city nearby, so they were the closest to the rebels.
Ma Dai and Huang Xu fought three fierce battles with the rebel army, and the two thousand army lost 600. Now reinforcements from all sides have arrived, and their strength has reached 8,000.
This also made the two young generals full of confidence. They felt that they did not need Arthur's two thousand cavalry, and they could win the battle with just the two of them. However, they did not expect that they could only follow Arthur and eat ashes.
Arthur's two thousand cavalry arrived first and arrived at Luyang before Huang Xu and Ma Dai, and then launched a surprise attack on the mountainous area fifty miles west of Luyang.
Among the Yingchuan rebels, there were not only wise men like Mao Sui, but also martial arts masters like Shangguan Jinhong, Jing Wuming, Hou Tonghai, and Sha Tongtian.
Under Mao Sui's suggestion, the rebels who could not escape could only set up strongholds and forts in the Luyang Mountains, hoping to gain some sense of security, but it was only psychological comfort.
After seeing the neat camp of the rebels, Arthur knew that there must be capable people among the rebels, and there was a high probability that it was the one who failed, but she didn't care, because absolute power cannot be reversed by strategy.
“The whole army attacks.”
Arthur himself charged forward, with Gawain guarding on the left, Lancelot guarding on the right, and two thousand cavalrymen under orders followed closely behind.
Although Arthur is fast, the rebels are not all blind. It is impossible not to see the charge of two thousand cavalry, but even if a warning is issued in time, it will have no effect at all.
Arthur, Gawain, and Lancelot, like a sharp sword, penetrated the heart of the rebels without any hindrance.
In the rebel army, except for those fanatical believers, most people were not very willing to fight. They surrendered after a little resistance. Naturally, those cultists who resisted the most fiercely were trampled to pieces by the Qin cavalry.
In less than a stick of incense, the first camp of the rebel army collapsed completely, but Arthur still did not make any pause and continued to attack the second camp. Huang Xu and Ma Dai, who had just arrived, could only follow behind to finish.
Although the second camp was well prepared, it still couldn't stop Arthur, and was soon crushed by the Great Qin cavalry.
Arthur led two thousand iron cavalry to fully demonstrate the commander's command of 100 and the force value of 106. They crushed all the way and were overwhelming. After breaking four villages in a row, they finally reached the Uburg where the rebels expanded.
Although the expansion of Wubao has not been completed, its defensive power is still stronger than that of the camp.
Arthur looked at the Uburg built with bricks and stones. He did not launch an attack immediately. Instead, he circled outside and discovered the weak points of Uburg's defense before ordering the attack.
Seeing this, Mao Sui, Shangguan Jinhong and others desperately sent people to fill the hole. However, the two sides fought fiercely for only an hour, and nearly 6,000 people were killed by the rebels, including Jing Wuming, Hou Tonghai, and others. Sha Tongtian and other masters also died in the battle.
The strength of the Qin army and its killing spree made both Yijun and Shangguan Jinhong feel frightened, and they began to regret their original decision, but it was obviously too late.
Under the attack of the Qin army, the rebel army was defeated again. After Shangguan Jinhong escaped from Wubao, he was quickly overtaken by Arthur and was killed with a sword before he could resist.
Mao Sui saw that Wubao had been lost, so he disguised himself as an ordinary defeated soldier and tried to take the opportunity to slip away, but was intercepted by the sharp-eyed leader of the army.
Mao Sui wanted to resist, but he was a scholar after all, so he was no match for Arthur, a super god. He was knocked unconscious by Gawain and captured alive without even using a single move.
In this way, it only took Arthur two days from dispatching troops to completely defeating the rebel army, even including the marching time. Just like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, he swept away nearly 40,000 rebel troops cleanly. .
