    Chapter 421 This is my rule

    The cavalry from the Shanzi camp spun out from behind the high slope, followed the red horse and rushed towards the rebel camp.  At this time, Luo Xiaotu's heavy cavalry had broken through half of the camp, and almost all the rebels gathered in the west to make the final resistance.  At least 30% of the people had lost their courage, dropped their weapons and fled.

    They were not soldiers to begin with. The rebels put knives on their shoulders and forced them to leave their hometown.  Homes were gone, houses burned to the ground and crops razed to the ground.  My wife, children, and parents don¡¯t know where they are, and their hearts have never been at peace.

    An army of more than 200,000 people, what a brilliant number.

    The camp stretches for twenty miles, what a huge building.

    But in front of those five thousand heavy cavalry, everything seemed so fragile.  Luo Xiaotu's heavy cavalry never encountered any decent obstruction after breaking through the spear formation. Those rebels who had lost their courage would just turn around and run away.  But they were so humble even in escaping, forgetting not to expose their backs to the enemy.

    Luo Xiaotu made a gesture as he rode forward, and the soldier behind him immediately shouted: "Change the knife!"

    With this shout, the heavy cavalry behind hung the heavy horse pole on the victory hook and drew out the horizontal sword from the waist.  Facing the defenseless rebel soldiers, they only had to lean over and cut the rebel soldiers' backs open.

    Liu Shuo, who was still standing on the wooden wall, had no expression on his face, watching his men, horses and sheep scatter in all directions.

    "It's over!"

    The two words were forced out of his throat, so bitter.

    Wen Xiaodao's infantry followed the heavy cavalry and poured into the camp like a tide, killing people like hemp.  All the rebel soldiers who stood in front of them, whether they were already kneeling down and surrendering or those who were running for their lives, were chopped to death with one knife.  The soldiers on the left avant-garde smiled ferociously, grabbing the hair of the kneeling rebel, swiping the knife back and forth on the neck to cut off the head, and then tied the hair to their belts.

    The left-wing soldiers who rushed in each had several heads on their waists.

    The blood was dripping down their clothes and they didn't care.

    Wen Xiaodao hasn¡¯t seen such an exciting scene for a long time, so Luo Xiaotu¡¯s displeasure at taking away his credit was somewhat diluted.  He likes killing people and watching others kill people.

    He likes the moment when the blood spurts out like a waterfall when the blade of the knife passes over his neck, especially in the sunlight, the color of the blood will look so pure.  He liked the temperature of blood, slightly hot with life that was already cold.

    He never restrains his men from killing.

    The difference between him and Luo Xiaotu is that Luo Xiaotu doesn't like or dislike anything. Wen Xiaodao even suspects that Luo Xiaotu doesn't even have feelings.  Luo Xiaotu only kills those who stand in front of him. When the heavy cavalry charges, he will not give way even if the person in front of him is one of his own.  He will not deliberately kill people. When victory comes, he will naturally stop.  He had no interest in killing prisoners.

    Luo Yao once said that Luo Xiaotu¡¯s eyes always looked straight ahead, never turning or flinching.  The direction he sees is always the route closest to success. Nothing is closer to the goal than a straight line.

    Wen Xiaodao, on the other hand, enjoys the fun of war and the scenes of blood flowing.

    Liu Shuo gathered almost all his troops and failed to block the left avant-garde. The situation was over.  Because of this, when Fang Jie led the Shanziying cavalry into the rebel camp, he didn't even encounter any resistance.  The cavalry rushed in, brushing against the bodies of the rebel deserters. They only looked at the fleeing rebels without even raising their heads.

    Some people saw the cavalry wearing the left avant-garde armor rushing over, and subconsciously dropped their weapons and knelt down to beg for mercy.  But they found that this cavalry had no interest in them at all and turned a blind eye.  The defenders on the wooden wall had already run down, and no one wanted to stay and die.

    The cavalry of Shanziying ran rampant in the camp, setting fires but rarely killing anyone.  Unless they were still resisting, they didn't even bother to lift their knives.

    Soon, the fire on the east side of the camp started burning.  The fire is the weapon that destroys the last line of defense in the hearts of the rebels, and panic spreads quickly like a plague.

    "The East Camp is also destroyed! Everyone, run for your lives!"

    "Run to the north gate, run to the north gate quickly!"

    ¡°No more fighting, I will never fight again!¡±

    Such shouts filled people¡¯s ears, but everyone seemed to hear nothing.  They just want to escape, just want to survive.

    Fang Jie rushed through the camp for nearlyAfter an hour, I finally saw a camp in front of me with a certain amount of troops gathered outside.  From a distance, you can see behind the soldiers are piles of hay piled very high, a huge tent, and countless large vehicles.

    "just in front!"

    He pointed his chaolu knife forward and urged his horse to rush toward the baggage.  The cavalrymen of the Shanzi Camp became excited and howled so proudly.  The rebels who were guarding outside the baggage camp saw the cavalry from the left vanguard rushing towards them. Some people subconsciously started to fire arrows, but most of them thoughtrun quickly!

    "Open the camp gate, or we will be killed without mercy!"

    Chen Bishan shouted at the trembling rebels. The rebels looked at each other, and they didn¡¯t know who knelt down first and threw away their weapons. Then, the sound of crashing followed, and most of them threw away their weapons.  Fang Jie knew that the rebels at this time were frightened out of their courage and would not let go of this opportunity to intimidate them.  He ordered his soldiers to rush over and chop to death anyone who did not drop their weapons.

    "Move!"

    Fang Jie looked at the mountain of supplies and smiled happily.

    ¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­

    The rebels were poor because they had no equipment, not because they were short of food and grass.  Fang Jie did not plan to return to the left midfield. If he wanted to lead his own team, he would not be short of food.  Feather arrows, crossbow arrows, these consumables also need to be replenished.  There seems to be no other way to get it except to grab it.  If you want to take a path that doesn't rely on others, Fang Jie doesn't want to struggle after you start.

    "Looking for winter clothes!"

    Fang Jie shouted loudly, and the cavalry of Shanzi Camp immediately dispersed and rushed out to look for useful things.

    Autumn has already entered, and it won¡¯t be long before the northwest becomes colder. Fang Jie can¡¯t let the soldiers suffer with him when he pulls out his troops.  If you want to keep soldiers loyal, you can't just use military discipline to restrain them.

    "Chen moves the mountain!"

    Fang Jie pointed to the carriages and shouted: "Divide into two hundred people and drive the carriages first, regardless of whether it is useful or not."

    Chen Bishan responded and immediately sent someone to drive the carriage.  The soldiers of Shanzi Camp enjoyed this kind of excitement for the first time. This was completely different from the feeling of robbing the He people.  Using troops against the He people is like a giant bullying a child.  And robbing things from the rebel camp is like stealing jewels from under the wings of a dragon.

    This feeling made them very excited, and each of them looked for something they could use with their eyes shining brightly.  Shanzi Camp came in at the perfect time. The entire western half of the camp was in chaos. The elite left vanguard turned half of the camp upside down. The heavy cavalry looking for the supply camp were like iron plows, plowing them over and over again.  Rummaging around the camp.

    ¡°Be fast and don¡¯t be too greedy!¡±

    Chen Banshan pulled off the bamboo bow held in the arms of a cavalryman: "What's the use of these things! Pick up things we can use. The carts are full of grain. We can drive away as many carts as we can."  How many cars are there, and then winter clothes and feather arrows? Why do you want things you don¡¯t need?¡±

    The soldier blushed for a while, ran back, picked up four or five bundles of feather arrows, and tied them to his horse, and then rushed out to find other things.

    "Walk!"

    Fang Jie stood on a high place and saw a cloud of smoke coming from the west. He knew that the troops from the left avant-garde were approaching: "Leave immediately. If you don't want to be trampled to pieces by the heavy cavalry, leave quickly!"

    The cavalrymen of the Shanzi Camp immediately ran back, and everyone¡¯s horses were covered with things.

    "What a pity, if there is a rope, I will drag the baggage camp with me and run away together!"

    A soldier shouted with excitement and regret. He looked back at the things that he had no time to take away with his eyes full of reluctance.

    ¡°Damn it, sooner or later it¡¯s all mine!¡±

    He spat, spurred his horse and rushed out.

    Fang Jie liked this attitude, and he gradually let the soldiers of Shanzi Camp gradually distinguish themselves from the left vanguard.  He never announced anything forcefully, but used ordinary words to guide the soldiers, allowing them to slowly accept that they were Fang Jie's soldiers, and gradually forget that they were Luo Yao's soldiers.

    Not long after Shanziying left the baggage camp, Luo Xiaotu's heavy cavalry arrived.

    Looking at the empty supply camp and seeing the dust and smoke in the distance, Luo Xiaotu raised his brows slightly, as if he hesitated but did not give the order to pursue.  No matter how much Shanziying took away, it would only be a drop in the bucket compared to the baggage of an army of more than 200,000 people.

    I ran for dozens of miles in one breath and didn¡¯t stop until I reached the mouth of Qinghe River.  Fang Jie arranged for people to be on guard, and then quickly walked into the town with the officers.  The town was in ruins. The rebels looted everything when they passed by. The men were captured and used as soldiers. The children, old people and women all fled to unknown places.

    ? ?Xiaoru came over to Fang Jie wearing a flying fish robe and bowed to salute. Fang Jie smiled at Chen Xiaoru and said, "You have done a great job today, and your benefits will be indispensable in the future."

    Chen Xiaoru chuckled and said, "After counting the days, I realized that today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. How about I reward my subordinate Chang'e?"

    Fang Jie said as he walked: "Chang'e doesn't have one, you choose one between Rabbit and Wu Gang."

    Chen Xiaoru smiled coquettishly: "Let's forget it"

    "Where is Lu Fenghou?"

    Fang explained the question.

    "Tied in the yard"

    "Let the brave people of Huangyang Road gather together!"

    Fang Jie gave an order and turned around to walk to the open space outside the town.

    Not long after, four thousand Huangyang Taoist soldiers formed an array outside the town. Because the people from the Imperial Guards had kidnapped Lu Fenghou, they seemed a little dissatisfied, and there was a lot of discussion in the crowd.  When they saw Fang Jie walking over with someone with a cold look on his face, they immediately became quiet.

    "Originally, I didn't have high hopes for you. I didn't regard you as regular soldiers. I didn't think you could do well. My expectations were already very low, but you still let me down.  downright!"

    Fang Jie climbed up to the high place and glanced at the civilian warriors: "If you want to stay, just stand still. If you want to get out, just take off your armor and leave! What I need is not a group of rabble, but a group of people who at least know what to do."  Soldiers who obey orders!"

    "Do you think you have won the battle? Do you feel proud?"

    Fang Jie snorted coldly and said: "Today's battle could have been fought more beautifully. Just because you disobeyed orders and almost killed everyone! As I said again, I don't force anyone to follow me.  Leave now! Don't wait until you are killed. I have to dig a hole to bury your bones! Did you see what the cavalry brought back? But think about it for yourself.  Without the cavalry, how can you still stand here and be unconvinced by what I say?"

    The tied up Lu Fenghou stood below, his face turning red and white.

    "Marquis Lu Feng!"

    Fang Jie looked at the man with a scar on his face: "How many times have I told you?"

    "Three times"

    Lu Fenghou raised his head and quickly lowered his head.

    "You can say that you are not a soldier of the Sui Dynasty, so there is no need to abide by the military discipline of the Sui Dynasty. But now that you are following me, you must abide by my military discipline! If you don't listen to orders, do you know how to deal with it?!"

    "II know I was wrong."

    "Are you aware of your mistake?"

    Fang Jie looked at him coldly: "There are some mistakes. You don't have to admit your mistakes to get others' forgiveness. Where are the soldiers? Take off this man's clothes, give him thirty punishments, and throw him out of the team! Such a waste, I  Don¡¯t want any!¡±

    "Here!"

    Several soldiers immediately rushed forward, and Lu Fenghou's face instantly turned pale.

    "General spare me once! I'm not a waste, I can kill the enemy and make meritorious service!"

    With a plop, the man knelt down and touched his head to the ground.
