A large number of officers and soldiers arrived in the area of Anqing Mansion from the Yangtze River by boat, and after docking, they began to pounce on Anqing Mansion under the leadership of Han, Guangmei and Huang Degong.

Huang Degong really breathed a sigh of relief this time, now when he mentions the Xingtian Army, he grits his teeth with hatred, he has never been so humiliated in his life, he will be unlucky when he encounters the Xingtian Army, as long as he meets once, he will be defeated once, every time he recovers, he will soon be planted in the hands of the Xingtian Army, it can be said that he has never taken advantage of the hands of the Xingtian Army.

This time after he lost all his soldiers and horses and fled to Chuzhou, when he was temporarily arrested by Ding Qirui's order and locked up in the Chuzhou prison, he thought that he might be beheaded by the imperial court, but in the end, Ding Qirui was really useless, so he gritted his teeth and reactivated him, Huang Degong was able to lead troops to attack the Heavenly Army again, so Huang Degong this time it can be said that he used his strength to eat, and with these 5,000 Chizhou soldiers, he killed the city of Anqing Mansion day and night.

And that Han and Guangmei led more than 10,000 officials and troops from Jiujiang Mansion, and they also quickly rushed to Anqing Mansion and joined Huang Degong, who is now a guilty person, so he can only obey the dispatch of this Han and Guangmei.

After the two met, Han and Guangmei made Huang Degong responsible for attacking the east gate of Anqing Mansion, and he was responsible for attacking the west gate of Anqing Mansion.

After Liu Yaoben attacked Anqing Mansion and took control of the city of Anqing Mansion, he immediately carried out the pacification in the city, and after entering the city, he only confiscated the officials of the official government in the city and a few large households, but he did not commit any crimes against the other residents in the city as much as possible, and on the second day after he captured Anqing Mansion, he forced the grain merchants in the city to open their doors, and did not allow them to sell grain at high prices, so as to ensure that the residents of the city would not starve because of their actions.

In addition, the soldiers of the Xingtian Army will walk in the city, and they must also buy and sell evenly, and no one is allowed to buy and sell or disturb the people, even for those prisoners, they will not beat or scold, and each soldier will be given five taels of silver, so that they will go out of the city and go home separately, so that they will not have to work for the government in the future, many of them should say that they do not want this silver, and are willing to follow the Xingtian Army, so Liu Yaoben also selected these prisoners on the spot, leaving hundreds of people into the battalions to supplement their own troops.

After a few days, the residents of the city basically settled down, compared to the government, although the Xingtian Army implements military management, but the military discipline of the Xingtian Army is strict, and there are very few things that harm the people, after entering the city, there are only two cases of Xingtian soldiers disturbing the people, one is a soldier who covets a woman's beauty, jumps into the family's yard in the middle of the night, and rapes the woman, and the other is when a soldier patrols the night at night, sneaks into a house to steal things, but is found by the family, under the shouting, The soldier killed the man of the family and fled the courtyard.

But after the two cases were reported to Liu Yaoben, Liu Yaoben should have ordered the guards to investigate thoroughly in the army, and immediately found out these two guys, and beheaded them in public without saying a word, and their heads were hung on the head of the city, so the people of Anqing Mansion praised the Xingtian Army for this, so basically not many people hated them.

After a few days of rest, Liu Yao's department basically recovered their strength, and their spirit and spirit returned to them, and they obtained a large number of food and materials from the government's reserves and some weapons and armor in the city, which strengthened their equipment.

With the arrival of Han, Guangmei and Huang Degong's department, Liu Yaoben did not timidly fight at all, first shrunk his troops into the city to garrison, and successively repelled several attacks by the officials and troops on the east and west sides of the city, and suddenly Liu Yaoben led his troops to open the west gate, led a battalion of men and horses to kill out of Anqing Mansion, and pounced on the Han and Guangmei troops who were arrayed outside the west gate, Guangmei's life, but even so, Han and Guangmei were so frightened that they didn't dare to attack Anqing Mansion anymore.

Huang Degong personally supervised the formation to launch repeated attacks on the east gate, but after being repelled several times, Huang Degong also stopped, not that he didn't want to fight anymore, but the Chizhou soldiers under his command were unwilling to fight, these Chizhou soldiers were not trained by Huang Degong, although this time Ding Qirui ordered Huang Degong to command them to Anqing Mansion, but the soldiers were not familiar with each other, and the training of the five thousand Chizhou soldiers was very poor, and the equipment was not very good, and there was no fighting spirit at all, After several strong attacks, instead of achieving any results, they lost their troops and lost their generals, so they didn't want to fight anymore.

Huang Degong is not a soldier brought out by his own hands, although he wants to be ashamed of this time, but he doesn't do it as a soldier, he doesn't dare to force it too hard, once it is urgent, these officers and soldiers say that they will mutiny, but it is not a joke, the original Sichuan general soldier Deng Xi was in Fancheng because of the mutiny of his soldiers, forcing him to jump over the wall and escape, and as a result, he fell to his death under the wall.

Huang Degong knew the way to lead the troops, and knew that in this case, he could only rely on the soldiers, so he reluctantly stopped the siege and confronted the Xingtian army guarding the city far outside the city.

Liu Yaoben actually fought very hard, he only brought forty or fifty paper shell bullets when each firecracker on hand, because of the rain march, some of the paper shell shells were scrapped by dampness, the number of guns that can be used is very limited, after three days of fighting, the ammunition is basically exhausted, and the soldiers have to be ordered to take local materials, use the gunpowder seized from Anqing Mansion to collect lead and tin materials, and replenish ammunition by themselves.

Fortunately, it is a relatively primitive musket, if it is a rifle in later generations, then Liu Yaoben estimates that he has been blind now, and it is impossible to make his own ammunition, so a batch of ammunition was replenished.

After first beating Han and Guangmei, Liu Yaoben turned his head and stared at Huang Degong's department in the east of the city, when he learned that this time it was Huang Degong's power department coming over, Liu Yaoben laughed after hearing it, they and Huang Degong are really fateful, since they first met Huang Degong a few years ago, and Huang Degong fought against each other, until now they have made more than a few moves with Huang Degong, this Huang Degong is really a little strong, repeatedly defeated, repeatedly defeated, if it were someone else, he would have heard the name of Xingtianjun a long time ago, He fled from the wind, but this Huang Degong was really courageous, and he actually led the soldiers to find the door again, no wonder someone gave him the nickname Huang Chuangzi, and I really couldn't help but admire his tenacity and courage.

So on June 19, Liu Yaoben left part of his troops to continue to stare at the Han and Guangmei departments in the west of the city, and he once again repeated his old tricks, leading a half-battle battalion out of the West Gate and rushing straight to Huang Degong.

Huang Degong also happened to go through some mobilization, and he was appeased by Xu Yi's heavy reward and good life, and finally mobilized some morale, and went out of the camp to attack Anqing Mansion again, but he didn't expect the defenders to suddenly open the door and kill out of the city, and rushed towards him.

So Huang Degong hurriedly adjusted the deployment to meet Liu Yaoben, these two generals showed their powers, and launched a fight in the east of Anqing Mansion, although Huang Degong was eager for revenge, but He Nai's Chizhou soldiers did not give strength, and the officers and soldiers under his command were immediately defeated, leaving only a few hundred old subordinates around Huang Degong who remained by Huang Degong's side, and was immediately surrounded by Liu Yaoben.

Huang Degong, this despair! Seeing the soldiers under his command defeated and retreating like a mountain, he really wanted to cry without tears, and killed several deserters in a row with double whips, but he did not stop these routs, and watched thousands of officers and soldiers flee like a plate of scattered sand.

His subordinates grabbed Huang Degong's horse reins and persuaded Huang Degong to flee quickly, but Huang Degong looked up to the sky and laughed, this laughter revealed a strong bitterness and unwillingness, and it seemed that the emotions were extremely complicated, Huang Degong shouted: "If Huang is defeated again today, what face will stand in the world?" How can the court let me go Huang? Rather than fleeing back and being arrested and killed by the imperial court, it is better to die here! Run for your life! I, Huang, will die here today! ”

After saying that, Huang Degong urged the war horse to rush towards Liu Yaoben, and some of his old subordinates did not want to die here, so they turned around and fled the battlefield, while dozens of loyal family members stayed behind and followed Huang Degong to kill the Xingtian Army, which was several times larger than them.

Originally, the firecracker wanted to fire and kill Huang Degong and the dozens of officers and soldiers under him in one fell swoop, but was stopped by Liu Yaoben's order, Liu Yaoben ordered Huang Degong's group of people to surround in the middle, Huang Degong was really a fierce general, wielding a double whip to kill left and right, and killed more than a dozen subordinates of the Xingtian Army in a row, and those under his command also mustered up Yu Yong, followed Huang Degong to fight to the death, but in the end, due to the disparity in strength, and the Xingtian Army was good at fighting in formation, so that Huang Degong's final war horse was stabbed to the ground, After falling to the ground, he was captured alive, and most of the dozens of loyal and brave family members under him were finally killed on the spot.

Xiao Tianjian has mentioned Huang Degong in front of Liu Yaoben several times, he admires Huang Degong very much, Liu Yaoben also has a good impression of Huang Degong, although the two sides in front of the two armies are their masters, and they kill endlessly, but once Huang Degong is captured alive, Liu Yaoben really did not order to kill him.

Liu Yaoben ordered Huang Degong to bandage his wounds and take him into the city to take good care of him, but Huang Degong did not appreciate it, and repeatedly asked to give him a happy kill and pull him down, but Liu Yaoben did not kill him, but returned several family members who were captured alive to him, responsible for taking care of Huang Degong, and also set aside a clean small courtyard in the city to place Huang Degong, so Huang Degong did not die in the end, but became a prisoner of the Xingtian Army.

After the whole army of Huang Degong's department collapsed, and the news that Huang Degong was also captured alive reached the ears of Han and Guangmei, it was even more frightened that Han and Guangmei were terrified, what attacked Anqing Mansion, it was all false, and now he could keep his men and horses from being killed by this gang of fierce and abnormal thieves, he was thankful, so Han and Guangmei immediately gave up attacking Anqing Mansion, led their troops to withdraw to the area of Wangjiang County, and gave up the operation of attacking Anqing Mansion.

At this time, news also came from Jiujiang Mansion, saying that Luo Rucai, who was sitting in Huguang, led his troops to start down the river from Ezhou and approached Jiujiang Mansion, so Han and Guangmei's buttocks were not warm in Wangjiang County, so they hurriedly boarded the boat and rushed back towards Jiujiang Mansion.

At this point, the danger of Anqing Mansion has been lifted, Ding Qirui no longer has the ability to send troops to retake Anqing Mansion, Liu Yaoben's troops are set in Anqing Mansion to make the entire Nanzhili government as uncomfortable as a fish in the throat, especially Jiujiang Mansion, Liu Yaoben of Anqing Mansion in the east is behind them, and Luo Rucai's department is marching towards Jiujiang Mansion in the west, which makes the Han and Guangmei of Jiujiang Mansion and the officials and officers and soldiers of Jiujiang Mansion all panic, and the military spirit is even more scattered. Many officials simply proposed to abandon Jiujiang Mansion and directly retreat to Chizhou, or simply withdraw to Nanjing to pull it down, and as soon as such an argument came out, it made everyone in Jiujiang Mansion depressed.
