However, Yu Xiaotian did not seem to be in a hurry to attack Pingdu City. Instead, after defeating the rebel army south of Pingdu, he rested on the spot for two days, summed up the experience of fighting the rebels this time, and sent people

They rushed to Qingzhou to report their victory, which also gave Li Fujie and other rebels some time to prepare for the war.

On the surface, what Yu Xiaotian did this time seemed a bit unwise. It left too much preparation time for the rebels, which may make the subsequent siege battle more difficult.

But Lin Yiyang believed that it was worth it, because the idea of ​​letting Yu Xiaotian rest for two days this time came from Lin Yiyang.

At first, Yu Xiaotian didn't understand why Lin Yiyang would propose a two-day truce at this time. Wouldn't this give the Pingdu rebels more time to prepare?

But after listening to Lin Yiyang's explanation, Yu Xiaotian understood his thoughts, so he immediately followed Shan Ruliu and ordered the troops to rest in place for two days.

Of course, these two days were called a break to celebrate, but the cavalry and scouts did not rest. The scouts and scouts went out in all directions, trampling the entire Pingdu area for dozens of miles, and found many small groups of rebels scattered around, and

He led the cavalry company over and conducted a large-scale cleanup of these small groups of rebels who were looting in the countryside.

In the past two days, the scout team and the cavalry company had no less than twenty conflicts, large and small, with small groups of rebels around Pingdu. Although both the scout team and the cavalry company had made some gains, they still had little success.

A certain price was paid.

Among the rebels scattered around Pingdu, there are many rebels named Ye Bushou and some elite cavalry. These former Dongjiang Army troops were quite powerful on horseback.

Although the scouts and cavalry trained by Yu Xiaotian were well equipped and well-trained, they had been in battle less often and had far less experience in actual combat on horseback than these rebel cavalry. This allowed them to kill some scattered rebels.

, but he also paid a certain price in casualties.

After two days, both the scout team and the cavalry company each paid the price of 20 or 30 people killed in battle, but at the same time they also annihilated more than 200 rebel soldiers. This was mainly due to the kind of ability in their hands that could

A short musket fired from horseback at close range. This double-barreled short musket is highly sudden. When galloping against the enemy, it often fires unexpectedly at the rebel cavalry.

The rebel cavalry had never encountered this kind of tactic. When they were charging, they heard a burst of gunshots and immediately turned their horses over. Many of them were killed. However, once this round of shooting was over, they did not kill all the rebels.

, then it’s up to everyone to do their own thing.

As a result, although the Yu Jiajun side had achieved great results, they also suffered a lot of losses and paid a considerable price. After Yu Xiaotian heard the reward, his heart ached to death, but he also knew that this kind of loss was something he had to pay.

Bear in mind that his scouts and cavalry are still a bit too young compared to these rebel elite cavalry and Ye Bushou, and they will not be able to grow up without experiencing enough life and death battles.

Two days later, the rebels in the city also discovered that something was wrong. The troops they sent out in the night were not taken back, and those who had not had time to recover. Within two days, very few people could return to the city, and they sent to Laizhou for help.

There is no news about anyone.

Li Fujie was a little panicked at this time. Suddenly, he felt as if he was trapped in a darkness and lost his ability to perceive the outside world. What on earth is the Fujian army outside the city?

He knew nothing about the situation or what he was doing.

On the surface, Pingdu City seemed to be impregnable, but in the past two days, they also felt the strong hatred towards them from the people in the city.

When they conquered Pingdu City, they burned, killed, looted, and raped and humiliated women. In the city alone, they killed thousands of county residents. They didn't know how many women they raped and how many they took away.

Property has driven many ordinary people to death.

However, during this period of time, under their lustful power, the county residents in the city dared not speak out and were living a precarious life.

Now the county people have learned that a large Fujian army sent by the imperial court outside the city has arrived in the south of Pingdu City, and on the official road south of the city, they defeated a group of rebels in one fell swoop, killing countless thieves and almost annihilating all of them.

The rebel army sent out.

At this time, the common people in the city were running around telling each other secretly, hiding in their homes to gloat, and cursing secretly that the rebels had finally met their nemesis, they had really killed well, and they had finally avenged them.

But after the rebels were defeated, they immediately closed the city gates, arrested young men from house to house, and roped them into the rebel army, forcing the young men to follow them in rebellion and help them defend the city.

But these Pingdu people have long hated these rebels. How can they help the rebels to defend the city honestly? Therefore, in the past two days, there are often Pingdu people who are forcibly raped.

There was a conflict with the rebels and they started fighting directly with the rebels.

Although several rebellions by the common people were forcibly suppressed by the rebels, the hatred accumulated much deeper, so that after two days, every rebel in the city felt a sense of horror.

We simply don't dare to have one or two people, or even three or five people, move around in some small streets and alleys. If they are not careful, they will be killed by the angry people in the city.

Therefore, after these two days, the rebels not only failed to make sufficient preparations to defend the city, but were made highly nervous by the people in the city. They were afraid that these ordinary people in the city would rise up anytime and anywhere and destroy them.

Either kill him, or open the city gate and let the Fujian officers and soldiers outside the city enter the city.

Li Fujie was very arrogant at the beginning, ordering killings to establish his authority and killing anyone who disobeyed. However, after killing for two consecutive days, instead of feeling that he was suppressing the people in the city, he felt that there seemed to be a suppressed people in the city.

Such violent emotions can burst out at any time.

He himself felt as if he was sitting on a powder keg. There was a hissing sound under the powder keg, as if a fuse was being lit. But he didn't know when the powder keg would explode, blowing them away.

The rebels were all blown to pieces.

This feeling really made Li Fujie feel very uncomfortable, and he began to feel scared. He also realized that he might not be able to maintain this level of peace.

Because once those Fujian officers and soldiers came to attack Pingdu City, in addition to guarding the city walls and gates, they also had to be on guard at all times to see if the unruly people in the city would suddenly rise up.

The officers and soldiers outside attacked the city.

If that's the case, I'm afraid they won't be able to run away by then, and they will truly become turtles in a urn, and they will all be trapped in Pingdu City by then.

Thinking of this, the more he thought about it, the more scared he became, and the situation outside was completely cut off. He sent people out to find out the news, but there were many people sent out, but they were all meat buns beating dogs, and they never came back.

As a result, these rebels began to be afraid from top to bottom, and they became more and more nervous. They didn't know what the Fujian officers and soldiers outside the city were doing. They didn't come to attack Pingdu City for a long time.

Come on, the more nervous they are, the more nervous they are, the more scared they are.

So after the third day, Li Fujie and his rebels finally couldn't hold on anymore. Finally, Li Fujie decided that he could no longer stay in Pingdu. If he didn't leave, he might not be able to leave. So that afternoon, the rebels suddenly

After opening the north gate, a swarm of swarms, led by Li Fujie, poured out of Pingdu City, carrying all kinds of looted property and fleeing toward Laizhou City like a desperation.

The people in Pingdu City saw the rebels suddenly abandoning the city and fled. At first they couldn't believe it was true, but some of them boldly walked out of their homes and after looking around, they found that there were people in the city.

As expected, the rebels had fled en masse, and there were no more rebels in the city. They rushed to tell the news, and the people in the city immediately cheered.

But after the happiness passed, many of them burst into tears again. Some cried with joy for the rest of their lives, while some cried for their relatives who were killed by the rebels, and some cried for the things they had robbed of their homes.

The property cried bitterly. In short, the entire Pingdu City was crying, and the sound of wailing resounded over Pingdu City.

Some of the rebels were on horseback, and some were on foot, but without exception, each of them carried a lot of belongings on their backs, including large and small bags. These belongings were all brought from Pingdu City or in the city recently.

Proceeds from robbery in the village and fort outside.

Now they have abandoned Pingdu City and fled to Laizhou City, but each of them is reluctant to part with these belongings, so as long as they can carry them, they pack them up and carry them on their backs. They are all bloated to death. If they can run fast like this,

, that would be really heck.

After running for only a few miles, the rebels, including their men and horses, were exhausted and out of breath, so they had to stop and take a rest.

But just when they relaxed and wanted to take a breath, a series of gunshots suddenly sounded around them, and countless officers and soldiers poured out from all directions, surrounding the rebels.

In the midst of this, the rebels were all dumbfounded.

It turned out that after listening to Lin Yiyangxian's strategy, Yu Xiaotian finally adopted his strategy and decided to use psychological warfare to crush the rebels in Pingdu City.

In the past few days, he had sent out scouts and cavalry to wipe out the rebels scattered around Pingdu City. In fact, he was putting pressure on the rebels in the city. Lin Yiyang had a good grasp of the psychology of the rebels.

, it is expected that the rebels are here

The city is unpopular. If they want to defend the city, they will have to watch out for the rebellion of the people in the city. In this case, within a few days, the rebels will be unable to bear the pressure and finally choose to abandon the city.
