The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince
Chapter 263: The Red Lotus Uprising
Before he could react, the white-robed soldiers turned their horses around and rushed towards the South Gate. The Red Lotus Sect at the South Gate was preparing to attack the city, so they arrived a little later than the East Gate.
However, before they could attack the city, artillery fire covered their midst, and the Red Lotus rebels were stunned, filled with deep fear.
God's punishment! How can the Red Lotus Rebellion not be in chaos!
As soon as they were in chaos, the White Robe Army rushed over and it was another one-sided massacre.
The battle at the South Gate was the same as that at the East Gate. Wherever the White Robe Army passed, after a few rounds of charging and killing, the rebels were defeated! Some fled, some died!
There was no need even for the city guards to take action; the White Robe Army alone could kill tens of thousands of people.
The cavalrymen dressed in white robes, holding long Mo Dao in their hands like the sickle of the god of death, there is only death wherever they pass!
At the east gate, the city guards went out to clean up the battlefield. The Red Lotus rebels left nearly 20,000 bodies outside the city. The remaining rebels all fled!
The battle at the South Gate ended quickly, also taking a little over an hour. The White Robe Army killed 20,000 enemies with almost no casualties of their own.
When they rushed to the north gate and the west gate, the attacking armies on both sides received the news that the east gate and the south gate were defeated by the White Robe Army. They were so scared that they didn't even dare to attack the city and fled directly!
At this time, a rumor was spreading among the Red Lotus rebels that the Red Lotus went against the will of heaven and was punished by heaven. The thunder that fell from the sky killed countless rebels.
Not long after this rumor spread, most of the Red Lotus followers who had followed the sect in rebellion chose to flee.
They followed the Red Lotus Sect to rebel, some because of their faith, some because they wanted to establish a career, and some simply because they wanted to have a full meal.
But the rumor said that the Red Lotus Sect was going against the will of heaven. What did that mean? Of course, it meant that they would not succeed and would die.
As long as you are human, you will be afraid of death. Who the hell would follow the Red Lotus Sect, which is doomed to die, to rebel again! If you force something that is destined to be impossible, you are a fool.
Therefore, when the 160,000 Red Lotus Cult troops were defeated by the White Robe Army against the rebels at the East and South Gates, the remaining rebels at the Northwest Gates not only fled, but most of them also dispersed!
The army that was finally integrated did not even have 10,000 people.
They fled to Henei Prefecture, not far from Hejian Prefecture! Lei Wanjie, who was guarding Hejian Prefecture, was filled with astonishment and disbelief when he heard the news.
He originally wanted to wait for the army to enter the city in Hejian Prefecture, and he could also proclaim himself emperor in Hejian Prefecture.
But he never expected that although his dream was beautiful, the reality was so cruel.
The 160,000-man army attacked the city, but was defeated by only 3,000 men. In the end, only 10,000 men escaped! The rest either died or dispersed!
This situation almost made Lei Wanjie vomit blood. As fear surged in his heart, he also felt endless hatred towards Jiang Fan.
He found that things had not been going smoothly for him since he met Jiang Fan.
The missionary work was not going well, and the uprising was not going well either. It was clear that the Hejian Prefecture could have been captured, but in the end, it was defeated at such a bizarre speed!
What frightened him even more was that after the rebels in Hanoi Prefecture joined forces with the defeated army, rumors among the rebels that the Red Lotus Sect was acting against the will of heaven became more and more widespread.
Even the rumor began to spread to several other prefectures, and then, people from the Red Lotus rebels who had originally occupied the eight prefectures would sneak away from time to time.
Of the 100,000 people in the eight prefectures, only less than 40,000 escaped in the end. Add to that the more than 10,000 people left after the defeat, and the total force was only 50,000!
From the time the Red Lotus Cult started its uprising to now when only 50,000 people are left, less than ten days have passed in total.
This situation caught Lei Wanjie off guard and also made Su Yuanguang and others look confused. They didn't know whether to say that the Red Lotus Cult was incompetent or that Jiang Fan was a good fighter!
When it came to Jiang Fan, the Red Lotus Cult was simply no match. They couldn't even last a single round before they were defeated!
Although there are still 50,000 people lingering on, what is the difference between this and defeat? !
Moreover, they no longer occupied the eight prefectures, but retreated directly to Hezhong City and Heshang City near Bingzhou!
As for the remaining six cities, they were no longer able to defend them! From the looks of them, they seemed ready to escape from Hejianzhou at any time.
After all, there are only 50,000 people, and now they can defend eight prefectures. Even the remaining 50,000 people are in a panic and may collapse at any time.
When the government troops who had fled to various prefectures and cities learned the news, they retook the remaining six cities.
Su Yuanguang still didn't believe it was true at this time. He thought that the Red Lotus Sect had rebelled, and even if it was to be suppressed, it would probably take at least several months, or even years.
But he never expected that the Red Lotus Rebellion, which was so powerful, would end in such an anticlimactic way. He couldn't believe it was true.
In the capital, Emperor Yan was stunned for a long time after receiving the news. He was still worried about Jiang Fan and hoped that his son could hold on to Hejian Prefecture for a few more days.
At least we have to wait until Chu Xinghe's army arrives, then my son may still have a chance of survival.
But he never expected that what he was waiting for was the massive Red Lotus Rebellion. It took his son less than ten days to defeat the Red Lotus. Now there are only 50,000 rebels left!
He couldn't believe it was true. It was too unbelievable. 260,000 rebels were reduced to only 50,000 in just ten days. How could this be possible?
Moreover, when he saw in the military newspaper that the White Robe Army, with less than 3,000 men, had killed tens of thousands of enemies and frightened the Red Lotus rebels, he couldn't help but want to roar to the sky!
This was his son, his unicorn. Any difficulty could be easily solved when he met his son. It seemed that his worries were unnecessary!
Chu Yan'er, after hearing the news, just smiled faintly. She had already known that her husband would win.
However, she never thought that she would win so easily, but it was reasonable.
When the two girls, Chu Xiaoya and Chu Xiaolan, heard the news, their beautiful big eyes were full of admiration.
As for the common people, when they heard about the great victory in Hejianzhou and the White Robe Army sweeping away the rebels, the people of the entire capital were once again excited, and fireworks and firecrackers rang non-stop, making it even more lively than a festival.
Jiang Fan's prestige among the people once again reached an unprecedented height.
After hearing the news, the three princes headed by the eldest prince and court officials such as Ye Ren were so shocked that they were unable to recover for a long time.
Defeating an army of 160,000 with only 3,000 white-robed soldiers was a record that could only be described as terrifying. A strong fear welled up in the hearts of the princes.
The eldest prince Jiang Yi is already at a loss, with deep despair in his eyes. Jiang Fan has risen strongly, and he wants to suppress Jiang Fan again, but it is probably impossible!
Even the officials under him had begun to turn their backs on him, and many of them were thinking of switching sides to Jiang Fan.
