The pursuit of the cavalry caused the White Lotus Army to flee in all directions.
Cao Wenzhao stared closely at Xu Heyu's banner.
He was not interested in these fish-bellied soldiers.
Only this ghost King of Heroes could catch him for fun, and captured Zouxian County by the way.
It was a small achievement.
One thing is better than nothing, so he ordered to hold down the speed, not too fast, and just follow Xu Heyu closely.
Xu Heyu didn't even think about how he could be defeated.
Since the uprising, no matter where the officers and soldiers were, they were defeated at the first touch.
Why is this Guards so powerful?
If Cao Wenzhao knew what he was thinking, he would definitely tell him He said: "It's not that our army is too powerful, but that your army is too rubbish."
Xu Heyu finally escaped to the suspension bridge.
He shouted as he ran: "Raise the suspension bridge, raise the suspension bridge quickly."
Cao Wenzhao kept suppressing the speed of the Guards cavalry.
He was waiting for this moment.
He hung the flag on the About thirty steps behind, I saw Xu Heyu getting on the suspension bridge, and immediately shouted: "Speed up, control the city gate, and capture Zouxian County."
As soon as the horse was clamped in the belly, the sound of the bowstring sounded in his hand, and the two men An arrow flew towards the city gate, shooting the two people who were about to close the gate to the ground.
Then he put the bow behind his back, pulled out a javelin, and nailed Xu Heyu to the city gate.
At this time, he had already run past on horseback.
At the city gate, a hail of arrows came, knocking the horse to the ground.
Before the horse fell to the ground, he had already jumped up from the horse, and danced a long knife in his hand to block the arrows.
I saw a few of them standing up, and they were already on the city wall.
With a flash of sword, a thief general who was directing the archery was cut into two pieces.
His cavalry had already rushed in, killed everyone in the city gate, and shot to death the bandits in charge of the drawbridge.
He jumped down from the city wall and kicked off a horse-riding thief who happened to land on the horse.
He raised his sword and shouted: "Xu Heyu is dead.
The emperor has a decree.
He only kills the culprits and never takes threats."
The other cavalrymen also shouted and rushed into the city.
After Yang Guangkui's infantry entered the city, Cao Wenzhao had already controlled the four gates.
After urgently interrogating the leader of the White Lotus Sect, he found out that Xu Hongru happened to go to Teng County, so he ordered the army to rest and prepare to attack Teng County tomorrow.
Two flags were left to guard Zouxian.
When it was almost noon on June 15, the Guards rushed to Tengxian.
The defeated army from Zouxian had already brought the news that the Guards had killed Xu Heyu, so The White Lotus Army closed the city gates tightly and did not dare to fight.
Yang Guangkui ordered the entire army to prepare food.
Cao Wenzhao still led the cavalry around the city holding flags and shouting slogans.
The parishioners on the city wall looked at the cavalry showing off their power outside and listened to the slogans they shouted. , with different expressions.
At half past one in the afternoon, the siege began.
Mainly attacking the south gate, each of the other city gates sent a division's infantry and a banner's cavalry to prevent Xu Hongru from breaking through.
Yang Guangkui first asked the infantry to stop outside the bow and arrow range of the city, then pushed the siege cannon newly made by the Ordnance Department forward and opened fire at the city gate.
The solid cannonball weighed five and a half kilograms, known as the six-pound cannon.
It hit the city gate, causing it to move wildly.
Then it continued to fire.
After more than ten shots, it finally smashed the city gate into wooden blocks.
Then he turned the muzzle of the cannon, and the cannonball hit the city wall, breaking the city bricks into pieces.
The fragments beat the defenders until they screamed for their fathers and mothers, and they ran towards the city.

More than a hundred cannons were fired continuously, leaving no White Lotus Army on the wall near the south gate.
Yang Guangkui waved his hand, and the baggage battalion quickly stepped forward and put wooden planks on the moat.
Then they quickly retreated.
A group of infantrymen entered the city gate hole with shields, followed closely by a group of infantrymen holding firecrackers.
As soon as the shield soldiers came out of the city gate, a large number of rolling wood and rocks were thrown down, knocking several shield soldiers to the ground.
The fire gun soldiers behind them came forward with a row of bullets, scattering the people in front of the city gate, and then shouted , rushed in with bayonets drawn, followed by Yang Guangkui with a steady stream of infantrymen who rushed into the city.
They encountered scattered resistance on the road, but they quickly disappeared in the face of bullets and bayonets.
Soon they rushed to the original county government office.
At this time, several people tied up a person and came out, shouting: "Don't fire, we surrender.
This is the rebel Xu Hongru.
Let's catch him and surrender."
Then.
Kneel on the ground together.
It turned out that Bailian Army Commander Hou Wang, Commander-in-Chief Wei Qi and others saw that the situation was not good and tied Xu Hongru up to surrender.
Xu Hongru lowered his head and said nothing.
Yang Guangkui called the prisoner he had just captured to identify him, and they all said it was indeed Xu Hongru.
Yang Guangkui ordered him to be temporarily detained in the county government, sent troops to guard him, and then asked the signal soldiers to notify Cao Wenzhao to come quickly.
Cao Wenzhao brought the backbone of the White Lotus Army captured in Zouxian County, and once again confirmed that it was indeed Xu Hongru, he finally felt relieved.
Immediately ask Cao Wenzhao to send cavalry everywhere to announce that Xu Hongru has been arrested, and the rest of the congregation can just put down their weapons and forget about it.
The news of Xu Hongru's arrest was spread by the Guards, causing most of the parishioners to lay down their weapons.
The few parishioners who wanted to resist stubbornly, under the powerful firepower of the Guards, quickly understood that eggs cannot touch stones, and each one surrendered after being killed and injured everywhere.
Officials from all over the country finally dared to return to their original posts.
Looking at the ruined city and the yellow and white things that the people in the yamen defecated everywhere, all their anger was vented on the captured leaders. , and the landlords did the same thing after returning home.
They found various excuses to arrest the parishioners and sent them to the Yamen to demand compensation for their losses.
The parishioners were basically poor people.
Is there any way to compensate the landlords and gentry for their losses?
At this time, the imperial edict came down.
The emperor said that unless they were the leaders of the rebellion and had serious misdeeds, they were not allowed to kill the captured church members casually. civil.
Officials and gentry always have to find a place to vent their anger.
Since ordinary parishioners cannot be killed, then which of the leaders does not have a few lives on them?
In addition to killing the person who had multiple lives, his family members were also killed.
In this way, the backbone of the White Lotus Sect in Shandong was almost wiped out.
Without the leader, there was no organized religious activity in Shandong for many years.
They set off on May 13th and captured Xu Hongru on June 15th.
They put an end to the White Lotus Rebellion in a little more than a month.
This made the White Lotus followers in other places who were preparing to respond feel very lucky and secretly praised themselves for their tolerance.
Otherwise, I will follow in the footsteps of Xu Hongru.
Yang Guangkui escorted Xu Hongru and his family to Beijing in a prison car, and the Guards rested in Zouxian County.
After entering Beijing, the emperor ordered Xu Hongru to be executed Lingchi.
Except for the minor children under the age of fifteen, all members of his family were beheaded.
Leaders at all levels who participated in the rebellion were also beheaded, and their heads were circulated throughout Shandong.
The notice states that the White Lotus Sect or the White Lotus Sect, also known as Wenxiang Sect, are not allowed to be spread nationwide.
Once discovered, they will be killed without mercy
