"Kill me!!!"
Sima Ban raised the spear in his hand and shouted.
His knights charged towards the "rioters" in the distance.
As soon as they approached Heyin County, they encountered a large number of "rioters" who dragged their families and fled in all directions. When they saw this cavalry, the fear in their eyes was stronger than that of thieves.
They yelled and started running away.
Sima Ban was very sure that these people in front of him were the mob participating in the rebellion. Otherwise, why would they be so scared after seeing the Wei cavalry?
Only the mob will be afraid of their own cavalry!
The battle was about to break out. The knights fought against these unarmed mobs. Sima Ban fully demonstrated his superb command skills. These cruel and violent rebels who set off rebellion were defeated in front of the righteous knights.
The brave knights held their weapons high and started a fierce battle.
They fought one against ten, killing all around. The hateful little rebel was trampled to death by their horse hooves. This move completely angered the surrounding rebels. The rebels rushed towards the knights angrily, but in front of them, They had no power to fight back against the armored knights. Someone picked up the stone and threw it at the knights, which did not cause any harm.
Soon, these rebels fell on the roadside, and the generals chopped off their heads to account for their military merits.
This is not the end of the battle, it is just the beginning.
The county town in the distance was filled with rebels. The knights looked greedily into the distance. Without waiting for a few words of encouragement from Sima Ban, they raised their spears and began to charge.
Heyin County, which was in a state of panic by Wang Yuan and others, looked forward to the arrival of jackals more ferocious than them. They slaughtered everyone they met along the way and treated everyone as traitors.
And this kind of thing also happened in several surrounding counties.
According to the emperor's edict, county magistrates everywhere must guard the dangerous roads and prevent traitors from escaping. When the fleeing people met these people, their eyes also flashed with the greedy green light of evil wolves.
"The traitors are attacking!!"
"kill!!"
The common people who had suffered countless hardships before arriving here were probably heartbroken when they saw the charging soldiers. They fled crying and howling, but they could not escape the galloping horses.
There was a huge commotion throughout Yin, Henan. The carnivores regarded this as a hunt to win military glory.
But similarly, there were also those who were unwilling to show their fangs after learning about the great deeds Wang Yuan and others had done.
At the same time, a pavilion chief in Ping County summoned the prisoners to rebel, killed the county magistrate who came to "prevent the rebels", claimed to be the general against rebels, and attacked the county government office in the city.
When Yin Damu brought the knights to Heyin County, Sima Ban had already received huge military honors.
The entire county was ablaze, corpses were strewn everywhere, and countless innocent heads were placed in carriages, staring at the sky with empty eyes.
Yin Damu took a deep breath.
Those empty eyes made his hair stand on end, and for a moment, he even began to hate Guo Zui for causing all this.
And the proud Sima Ban in front of him was still bragging about his achievements shamelessly.
"I only used a few hundred people and killed nearly a thousand rebels in one battle!!"
Sima Ban showed off to his colleagues and subordinates how he defeated a powerful rebel with one against ten.
Yin Damu looked at him calmly, suppressing the murderous intention in his heart.
At this moment, his hatred for Sima Ban once exceeded his hatred for Sima Master.
Even as ruthless as Master Sima, he would never do anything like massacre civilians to pretend to be a military hero! ! !
"Captain Yin, you are late!"
Sima Ban pointed to Wangwu Mountain in the distance, "I asked, the bandit chief ran towards the mountain. You can lead people to hunt down the traitors along the way, and I will leave them to you to deal with."
He gave a slight hint and then whispered: "The general asked us to take Wang Yuan's head and rescue Guo Jun. You see, my army came here first and fought with the enemy. It was very tired. , I will leave this matter to you to complete, and I will not argue with you about this great achievement!"
Sima Ban behaved extremely generously.
Yin Damu knew very well what this thief was thinking.
Wangwu Mountain belongs to the Taihang Mountains, and there are only a dozen or so bandit chiefs. Once they burrow into the deep mountains, how easy is it to capture them? ?
Is it possible to take the knight to search the mountain?
If Wang Yuan can't be caught and Guo Ji can't be found, then he will have to face Sima Zhao's wrath. This guy obviously doesn't want to do such a thankless task. The credit belongs to him. Of course, Yin Damu has to take the blame.
Yin Damu did not reject him and nodded calmly.
"Okay, I'll give chase right now, but Wangwu Mountain is too big and they run very fast. Please give me half of the cavalry."
"As I said, my army traveled long distances and experienced great battles. I captured all the counties and cities. Where can I find any more troops for you??"
Sima Ban frowned, feeling in his heart that this guy was a bit embarrassed.
"Forget it, after all, this battle is centered on the captain. Let's do this. I will send five hundred elite cavalry to fight with the captain."
Yin Damu did not rest any longer, and led the army to pursue in the direction of Wangwu Mountain.
"What did you say?!"
"Good news!! General!!"
In the general's mansion, the scout looked at Sima Zhao in front of him with excitement.
"Zuo Changshi led thirty cavalry as the vanguard and captured Heyin County. He beheaded more than 4,000 people, captured 2,000 people, and captured the rebel flags, musical instruments, swords, crossbows, armor, and shields."
The scout talked about this huge military exploit with excitement on his face, completely unaware that Sima Zhao's face in front of him was getting more and more ugly.
"Behead four thousand? Capture two thousand?"
Sima Zhao was like a volcano about to explode, his voice was trembling, and those close to him could feel the general's uncontrollable anger at this moment.
The scout obviously didn't feel it.
He said very proudly: "That's it. Colonel Yin led the rest of the troops to chase Wang Yuan and other traitors. Zuo Changshi is also chasing the surrounding traitors. We will never let a traitor escape!"
Sima Zhao suddenly laughed, showing his white teeth.
"Okay, so we have a famous general in our family."
"It took dozens of people to conquer a county with tens of thousands of rebels. Is this what you mean?"
"There are tens of thousands of rebels. If Sima Ban hadn't been here, wouldn't my head have been chopped off by them?"
"How should I repay Sima Ban for his kindness?!"
Sima Zhao asked with a smile.
No matter how stupid the scout was, he could hear the deep ridicule in Sima Zhao's words at this moment.
He was so frightened that he turned pale and hurriedly saluted again and said seriously: "General, that's not what Zuo Changshi told me."
The scout was so frightened that he could not speak.
Sima Zhao simply gave the order, "Take him down and behead him."
"General!! I will go through life and death for you! General!! I am a man of merit!!"
The scout shouted, and two soldiers appeared behind him expressionlessly, grabbed him directly, and dragged him toward the door.
"General, spare your life!!!"
The scout's voice grew farther and farther away, until he screamed and his plea for mercy disappeared.
The soldier held his head and appeared in front of Sima Zhao again.
Sima Zhao waved his hand and said very displeasedly: "Send his head to Sima Ban and say that I gave him military merit."
"Also, tell him that if Wang Yuan cannot be captured and Guo Ji cannot be found, I will give him another military award."
"only!!!"
Sima Zhao frowned and looked at the documents in front of him. Judging from the petitions in the past few days, the things that his brother was worried about have still appeared.
Letters were sent from counties and cities in various places, saying that they had wiped out the rebels who attacked them.
Sima Zhao knew this very well. Where did the traitors come from? They just killed innocent people indiscriminately to gain military glory.
However, rebels really appeared in Ping County. This is Henan Yin. Under the emperor's feet, how can there be two rebellions in a row here?
If such a situation can happen in Henan Province, then other places
Sima Zhao couldn't believe it. He began to regret his previous orders. He should have listened to Du Yu!
He reluctantly began to reply to the letter in front of him.
At this moment, a distinguished guest hurriedly appeared in front of him.
Sima Zhao quickly stood up and did not dare to neglect.
The person who came was none other than Shangshu Fu Gu.
Fu Gu frowned, looking extremely serious.
"General, something serious has happened."
