All the cavalry in the barracks were gathered and led by Zhou Qing to pursue the enemy.
Then, some of the active-duty troops were also called up, forming a force of more than two thousand, following the cavalry.
The soldiers who were resting and sleeping were also awakened, assembling six battalions with three thousand men, as the third wave of pursuit.
The remaining ten thousand troops stayed in the camp and waited for dawn.
After everything was in place,
A massive pursuit began.
The Seven Star Sect rebels had only escaped more than ten miles when they were caught up by the cavalry.
During the chaos, the fleeing rebels were unable to withstand the charge of the cavalry, scattering quickly after a brief clash.
A large number of rebels surrendered on the spot, while others fled into the wilderness and deeper into the mountains, where they could not be pursued in the darkness.
The cavalry did not bother with those who surrendered.
