Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 870 Mission Completed

Both of them rode war horses, so with just a pull of the reins, they could overtake many people.

Prince Rui was still surrounded by a dozen personal guards, all riding warhorses, as well as important figures such as Tang Bingqian and Ma Buxuan, all of whom were riding horses.

Seeing King Rui urging his horse forward, they all turned their heads to look behind them and hurriedly followed him.

This large group of war horses, who were originally at the end of the team, gradually rushed to the front of the team, and then the horses began to trot, and then...

Under the astonished gaze of the crowd, a group of war cavalry gradually increased their speed, and in less than a moment, they disappeared into the wilderness.

Cries and shouts were instantly heard in the team.

Many smart people immediately understood the current situation.

They were abandoned by the prince.

All the people riding horses ran away, and those riding in carriages asked the coachmen to whip the horses hard and rush forward quickly.

The person walking was unlucky. He was already seriously overdrawn physically. Now that the only hope in his heart had collapsed, his spirit also collapsed.

Many people gave up running and plunged directly into the ground.

A large number of people fell to the ground, losing the motivation to escape.

Even though the territory of Jingxi Prefecture was right in front of him, he could not hold on to this last breath.

Soon, the rebels behind them caught up, split into two teams in the middle, and began to encircle the fleeing team.

Qiu Jie and Jing Zhaoheng were delighted.

Finally, the efforts were not in vain, as a large number of family members of powerful officials were captured.

There were hundreds of cavalry in the team. They were the personal guards of the two generals. They were sent out by Qiu Jie to continue chasing the important figures who had escaped.

The two generals issued a death order, requiring those important figures to be brought back to him.

The rest of the team has already encircled all the escapees.

Qiu Jie ordered all soldiers to rest on the spot and not to leave their posts without permission.

Now that the person has been trapped, let's take a breath and then identify the criminal.

In their eyes, these people have become the relatives of the traitors of the Da Zheng Dynasty. If they are convicted of treason, their entire clan will be implicated.

After half an hour's rest, the Taisho soldiers drank some water, ate a few mouthfuls of dry food, and finally recovered some strength.

Qiu Jie gave the order to start identifying the criminals, and their identities must be ascertained one by one and they must be treated differently.

More than 20,000 people, those who fell behind or walked, were eliminated.

These must be servants, there would be no noble family members traveling on foot.

This item alone eliminated 90% of the cases.

As for the rest, anyone who rode in the carriage must be carefully interrogated.

Prince Rui Zhao Xun, Prince Lu Zhao Bing, Minister of Military Affairs Tang Bingqian, Commander of the Imperial Guard Ma Buxuan, General Zhao Wenqi, and Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue Lin Cangshi...

The family members of these important officials on the list were identified one by one and detained separately.

After the personnel have been identified, they will begin to search for property.

A large amount of gold, silver and treasures were hidden in the fleeing team.

The saying "I would rather die than give up my wealth" is a true portrayal.

Although they were exhausted from escaping, they still had a lot of valuables hidden on their bodies and in their cars.

All the fugitives were carried around, pushed around, beaten and kicked. No one dared to resist or make a sound.

Because I had no energy left, I escaped for nearly a month. After being caught, I felt numb and resigned to my fate.

Just catch some, it’s better than dying of exhaustion on the road.

Everyone was busy catching their breath and resting, and had no time to feel sad.

As night fell, the Taisho Imperial Army began to make fires, cook, and set up camp to rest.

It was not until this moment that suppressed crying gradually began to be heard from the fleeing crowd.

The crying spread wider and wider, and finally tens of thousands of people were infected, and the crying was deafening.

Her crying contained the grievance of being abandoned, the fear of being caught, and the pain of having her belongings stolen.

The Taisho Imperial Guards didn't bother to care, and many officers waved their hands.

"Let them cry. They will stop crying after a while."

By the beginning of the Xu hour, all the soldiers had eaten and drunk their fill, and their strength had basically recovered.

Faced with tens of thousands of prisoners, they began to make plans.

I can't walk nearly a thousand miles in vain, I have to get some money back.

Qiu Jie and Jing Zhaoheng turned a blind eye to this.

Indeed, the soldiers are too tired and have been supervised too strictly before. It is time to give them some benefits to stabilize their morale.

Thousands of soldiers on duty, holding torches in their hands, began to search for targets in the crowd.

Some of them want to find some more valuables from these people.

Some of them stared at women who were a little bit pretty.

Life in the army is boring. Even if someone is said to be a little pretty, in their eyes, even a sow is not much different from a beauty.

After a while, the crowd began to cry and shout again.

The Taisho Imperial Guards showed no mercy to these insignificant prisoners. Anyone who dared to make any violent moves would be chopped down immediately.

After several people were hacked to death, the crowd around them quieted down and dared not move.

They could only watch helplessly as these vicious soldiers rummaged through their packages or bodies at will.

All the younger women were dragged out.

Those family members who wanted to step forward to argue were forced back with knives.

Anyone who dares to drag will be chopped to pieces immediately.

For a moment, the whole crowd was filled with blood and gore, and it was extremely tragic.

Those soldiers were also angry. They had been chasing us non-stop for more than twenty days, and they didn't let us vent our anger?

The prisoners of status were protected.

The families of these princes and ministers are valuable. Whether they are used as hostages or as tools for observing ceremonies, it is better than killing them with a knife.

However, they watched the atrocities committed by the Taisho Imperial Army and hid in the weeds, trembling with fear.

The next day, hundreds of imperial guards and officials began to register one by one with pen and paper.

The family backgrounds of these people must be clearly stated.

Near noon, hundreds of guards from Generals Qiu Jie and Jing Zhaoheng appeared in the distant wilderness.

The cavalry advanced very quickly. In less than a quarter of an hour, hundreds of them had arrived in front of the military camp.

After hearing the report from the cavalry, Qiu Jie and Jing Zhaoheng immediately came out to greet them in person.

The two men immediately stood in front of the camp gate, looking at the several high-ranking officials among the hundreds of guards, with smiles on their faces.

Prince Rui and his companions were finally unable to outrun the imperial guards' cavalry. After a chase, they were eventually surrounded by hundreds of cavalry.

It is impossible to fight. These people have lived a life of luxury and have not used weapons for many years. They have no ability to resist at all.

The dozen or so princes and ministers headed by King Rui had long forgotten what riding skills were, and none of them escaped.

They all hung their heads and were escorted into the camp in a listless manner.

Qiu Jie and Jing Zhaoheng put their minds at ease, as the mission was completed perfectly.

Despite the loss of tens of thousands of soldiers.

But at the same time, they also killed tens of thousands of imperial guards.

And they caught such an important person.

No matter what, this time it was a great achievement.

After identity registration, the identities of these princes and ministers were confirmed.

The Taisho Imperial Army began to use the horse-drawn carriages of the fleeing people and converted them into prison carriages.

There were so many important prisoners that more than a dozen prison vans were needed to accommodate them.

The other prisoners were surrounded by tens of thousands of imperial guards and were slowly driven back.

The crowd was already exhausted, and due to fear and hunger, many people fell dead in the fields along the way.
