Liu Kuan and the anti-army defenders on the city wall had just come back to their senses from the deafening explosion and wanted to react, but hundreds of Andong cavalry had already rushed into the city.

At this time, there is no possibility of driving Andong's cavalry out of the city.

"It's over, Pingzhou City is over!" Liu Kuan's face was pale and he sat in the aisle on the city wall. He even had the will to organize the soldiers in the city to resist. After all, it was just a way to die. A mere 4,000 defenders who were not much stronger than the rabble could not be the opponent of the 24,000 elite Andong Iron Cavalry.

The other anti-army soldiers next to Liu Kuan looked at each other with no will and did not dare to shoot arrows at the Andong Iron Cavalry who had already rushed into the city and were rushing into the city.

Liu Kuan, the chief general of the Pingzhou anti-army, had no will to resist, and these ordinary soldiers had no will to resist. The Andong Iron Cavalry quickly completely controlled Pingzhou City, killing and injuring less than fifty people.

Compared with such a great victory, this number of casualties is simply negligible.

Liu Kuan was quickly taken to Li Fei.

"Hu people?" Li Fei glanced at Liu Kuan. He felt that his question was a bit unnecessary. Because the anti-army army has always trusted the Hu people more, it is almost impossible for an anti-army general who stayed in Pingzhou City to be a Han person.

Liu Kuan's heart trembled for a moment, and there was a hint of panic, but he seemed to have realized something and quickly answered.

"Sir, the villain's father is a Han Chinese, so the villain is also a Han Chinese, not a Hu Chinese." Liu Kuan did not lie. His father was indeed a Han Chinese, and his mother was a Hu woman. But his father died early and he was raised by his Hu mother. However, Han and Hu were all predominantly fathers, and there was nothing wrong with him saying that he was a Han Chinese.

However, this guy was also foolish. He did not say that he was a Han person to Lu Zhihai before, but instead said that he was a Hu person. In the anti-military army, he always regarded himself as a Hu person and was able to gain his current status step by step.

Liu Kuan's intelligence saved his life.

Li Fei was stunned for a moment, then nodded to Liu Kuan.

"Since you are a Han Chinese, you can select all the Hu people from the captive anti-army soldiers. I believe you will not miss one person."

"Yes, sir." Liu Kuan's hands were trembling, but he did not dare to refuse at all. If he died, I would not die. In the past, he regarded himself as a Hu person because An Lushan valued Hu people. Only by claiming to be a Hu person can he be promoted step by step in the anti-army. Now, for his own life, he certainly has to return to his original identity as a Han person.

After capturing Pingzhou City, Li Fei did not rest or recuperate in Pingzhou City, so he divided his troops into multiple groups overnight to capture other prefectures and counties on Pinglu Road, striving to sweep the prefectures and cities of Pinglu Road within two days and completely control Pinglu Road within three days.

Li Fei took the same approach as in Daodan County, Henan Province, and psychologically eliminated the possibility of these anti-army soldiers returning to the anti-army camp.

All about 200 Hu people picked out were killed, and Liu Kuan was the first to step forward to kill one of his original Hu people's deputy.

Liu Kuan not only personally selected all the Hu people from more than 3,700 people from the anti-military army, but also killed one of the Hu people with his own hands. His heart kept trembling again. He knew that he would never return to the anti-military camp, and even if he asked him to go back, he would not dare.

Li Fei left the third batch of seasickness nearly 1,000 Andong Iron Cavalry soldiers and 500 normal Andong Iron Cavalry in Pingzhou City. The other more than 22,000 Andong Iron Cavalry divided into four groups and attacked overnight to the other four prefectures on Pinglu Road.

Because he was backed by Fanyang Road, he had the support of Youzhou City. Lu Zhihai's strength to stay in Pinglu Road was really weak. Not only did the prefectures have only 4,000 defenders in Pingzhou City, but there were even fewer defenders in Chaozhou, Yingzhou, Lingzhou, and Jizhou, among which Jizhou had less than 2,000 defenders, and Andong Iron Cavalry had at least 5,000 Iron Cavalry in each way, so it was impossible for him to be an opponent of Andong Iron Cavalry.

The only ones that restrict Andong's Iron Cavalry are the city walls and city gates.

However, due to Li Fei's relationship, although gunpowder has not appeared in this world for the first time, only the gate of Pingludao has experienced the power of gunpowder for the first time. The formula for making gunpowder by Li Fei is the best proportion of gunpowder brought from later generations, which is no worse than the mature gunpowder in the Ming Dynasty.

Why can the Mongols relied on cavalry to fight westward and conquer the terrain along the way? It was because the gunpowder obtained by sending Song and Jin to continuously explode the city gates to prevent the iron cavalry from siege and directly enter the city.

The other four other Pinglu Daozhou cities, including Chaozhou, Yingzhou, Jizhou, Lingzhou, etc., did not know that the Andong Iron Cavalry had the means to explode the city gate, nor even that the Andong Iron Cavalry suddenly appeared in Pingludao and even broke the prefecture Pingzhou City.

When the Andong Iron Cavalry reached the city of four states, the anti-army generals of the four states were unable to defend themselves. However, the anti-army generals of two states had the same attitude as Liu Kuan at the time, thinking that the Iron Cavalry could not fly over the city wall and rushed into the city, but reality slapped them hard.

The city gate suddenly exploded, catching them off guard.

Seeing that the Anton cavalry, which was two or three times their number, was unstoppable and could not raise the will to resist.

In less than two days, the four Andong Iron Cavalry took the fallen leaves and captured five prefectures, including the prefecture Pingzhou City.

After capturing the five prefectures and cities in Pinglu Road, the rest were much simpler. The small counties under the prefectures and cities were even less willing to resist. As the Andong Iron Cavalry divided into multiple routes to sweep across the country.

Often, before the Andong Iron Cavalry was at the city, many small county towns surrendered and opened the city gates directly to welcome the Andong Iron Cavalry.

Even if there are a few county towns that are stalking back and insist on resisting, they will be directly bombarded by the Andong cavalry and rushed in and forcibly captured.

In just three days, Li Fei and the Andong cavalry actually swept across all the prefectures and counties of Pinglu Road and recovered Pinglu Road from the anti-army.

The neighboring Youzhou City was the first to learn about Pingzhou City’s change of hands.

Niu Tingjie, the governor of the anti-army Fanyang, was shocked and wanted to send troops to "recover" the nearby Jizhou City and Pingzhou City. However, because he did not know how the Pingludao prefectures were quickly captured, he was afraid that as soon as he sent troops from Youzhou City, the Andong Iron Cavalry rushed to Youzhou City and captured Youzhou City, so he did not dare to act rashly.

After sweeping across the prefectures and counties of Ludao, the heavy anti-army army in Youzhou City did not dare to act rashly. Li Fei left only 5,000 Andong Iron Cavalry to join forces to capture some anti-army Han soldiers to station in Pingludao, and then brought more than 18,000 other Andong Iron Cavalry back to the Andong Protectorate's Mansion to encircle and annihilate the Lu Zhihai anti-army army that was attacking Liaoyang City.
