Liu Heizi made people shout at night, bluffing, and deceived the Qing army on the city wall, and shot nearly 10,000 arrows in the middle of the night.

In the early morning, the defenders of Xuzhou overlooked the city, the canal was only filled in a little, and when they were happy, they suddenly found that something was wrong, how could they not see any corpses outside the city.

At this moment, a detachment of men and horses came out of the camp of the rebels in the distance, pushed the shield cart to the river, and began to collect the arrows that had been shot from the city.

Although Xuzhou City is an important military town, the supplies are sufficient, but the arrows and gunpowder are not exhausted, yesterday in the middle of the night, it consumed one-twentieth of the arrows and gunpowder.

At the head of the city, Wang Jiaping saw this scene, his face was stunned, and he almost had a crooked nose, he smashed his fist at the head of the city, gritting his teeth, "Okay, you Liu Heizi, what is it, you still play with Lao Tzu to borrow arrows from grass boats!" ”

In the next few days, the rebels harassed the Qing army with a large number of people, sometimes filling the river during the day, sometimes filling the river at night, taking advantage of the lack of attention of the defenders, they filled in a large section, and when the Qing army found out, they bluffed, deceived arrows and gunpowder, and consumed the equipment in the city.

At this time, under the city of Xuzhou, the righteous soldiers withstood the shield, pushed the shield cart, nearly 10,000 people dumped a basket of mud into the moat, stirring up the rolling turbid waves, the flow of people on the wilderness shuttled, the wheels left traces of the road, the scene was very spectacular.

In just ten days, Liu Heizi's men and horses had already filled out a moat about 200 zhang wide outside the eastern city, pushing the soil to the foot of the city wall.

During this time, the siege equipment of the rebel army was already ready, and when the artillery arrived from Henan, the siege would begin.

At this time, Liu Heizi rode a horse and watched the rebels who filled the river, like ants moving, pouring earth and stones into the river, which had already filled in the width enough to attack the city, and immediately waved his hand, "Withdraw, stop filling the river!" ”

The sound of tinkling gold sounded, and the soldiers who filled the river immediately retreated like a tide.

The archers who shot arrows at the head of the city, and the firecrackers who bombarded with their guns, watched the retreat of the rebels, and soon the city walls were deserted, leaving only discarded baskets, wheelbarrows, and corpses lying on their backs, which gradually stopped shooting.

Wang Jiaping leaned out half of his body from the city, stared at the foot of the city wall with a stern gaze, and saw that the moat had been filled in and lost its protective effect, and his face immediately sank.

He leaned on the wall and looked at it, and suddenly turned his head and asked, "Haven't the people sent out have come back yet?" ”

"Not yet, will it be caught!" A Qian general manager next to him said worriedly.

Wang Jiaping slammed his fist on the city wall, "Lao Tzu sent several groups of people, luck shouldn't be so bad!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a Qing soldier hurriedly ran to report, "Junmen, the people who went to Huai'an are back!" ”

Wang Jiaping was overjoyed and asked anxiously: "Where are the people?" ”

"Qiyu Military Gate, people are in Nancheng, just hung up!"

When Wang Jiaping heard this, he couldn't wait for the soldiers to bring people, so he hurried to Nancheng.

At this time, the sentinel ship in the moat had already sent people to the city wall, and then pulled up to the city, and the man who came back was heading to the east city, and he bumped into Wang Jiaping who came head-on.

"What did Master Ma say?" Wang Jiaping did not shy away from it, he just wanted to let his subordinates in the city hear that he had contacted the Ming army, so that they could take a reassuring pill.

Now that the Qing Dynasty is no longer reliable, the Qing soldiers are shaken, and if there is no foreign aid, many people in the city will definitely choose to surrender to Liu Heizi.

After all, it was Wang Jiaping who dug Gao Yihuan's ancestral grave, and it wasn't them, the big deal was to be a prisoner, and to do coolies for Wei for a few years, after all, he could save his life.

When the messenger heard Wang Jiaping's words, he was about to answer, but Wang Jiaping grabbed him with an arrow, grabbed his wrist, snapped his eyes, and asked him to whisper in return.

"Open the military gate, I saw the Ma Inspector, and the Inspector ordered the military gate to plant a clear flag all over the city, and he will send troops to rescue him soon!" As he spoke, the messenger also took out a handwritten letter from Ma Shiying's bosom.

Wang Jiaping was overjoyed, let out a sigh of relief, and said loudly, "Master Ma has written a letter to Lao Tzu!" ”

He shouted, it was a joke, and then hurriedly took the letter, read it hurriedly, and suddenly a stone fell to the ground.

Ma Shiying let Xuzhou change its banner, played the banner of the Ming army, announced that it would return to the Ming Dynasty, and Liu Heizi would attack Xuzhou again, and Ma Shiying would be able to send troops openly to relieve the siege of Xuzhou.

In the letter, Ma Shiying promised to give Wang Jiaping the treatment he deserved, so that Wang Jiaping and Ma Guanghui must hold Xuzhou, and the Ming Dynasty has prepared an army of 100,000 and will go north to support at any time.

After reading the letter, Wang Jiaping said aloud again: "Ma Inspector has prepared 100,000 soldiers, and Xuzhou will be reinforced in a few days." As he spoke, he said to his generals: "You guard the city, and Ben Shuai will go to see Governor Ma!" ”

The Qing army in the city listened to Wang Jiaping's words and talked about it, and with the reinforcements of the Ming army, they also had some confidence in their hearts.

Wang Jiaping took the letter, walked down the city wall, went to the governor's mansion, and told Ma Guanghui the news.

In the governor's mansion, Ma Guanghui watched the letter with him, and a large number of Qing generals gathered around, and Wang Jiaping on the side said: "Governor, the brothers were captured by the Wei army, and they all have to work as coolies for the Wei State and take refuge in the Ming Dynasty, so that everyone can continue to enjoy the glory and wealth." Now that Ma Shiying's 100,000-strong army is ready, the governor should not hesitate, let's change our banners! ”

Wei and Qing fought for many years, and the Qing army suffered defeats and was captured many people.

How the Wei State dealt with the captives, the Qing army knew a little about it, and the vast majority of the Qing army captives were reduced to coolies in the Wei army's mines, or tenant farmers in the military households.

The Wei army used the system of granting land for military merits, the soldiers divided the fields, and needed people to plant, and the good people wanted to plant their own land, and few people wanted to be tenants, and in order to ensure the interests of the military households, Gao Yihuan could only use a large number of prisoners of war as long-term tenants, restricting their freedom, and letting them farm for the military households.

This was actually similar to the Manchu Qing Dynasty's use of the fugitive law to restrict the slaves of the banner, and the Wei State also enacted draconian decrees to restrict the escape of prisoners of war and ensure that the military fields of military households were cultivated.

In this comparison, unless there is no way out, no one in the Qing army is willing to be a prisoner of war of Wei.

Ma Guanghui looked at the letter, his face was solemn, and Wang Jiaping on the side continued to fanned the wind, "Governor, I heard that the regent is preparing to evacuate and return to Liao from the sea, and he may not be able to take us with him at that time, the governor should find a way back for his brothers!" ”

As soon as he said this, the Qing generals around him were also moved, and they all agreed with Wang Jiaping's opinion.

Ma Guanghui groaned for a while, and suddenly shook the reply letter: "Yi Zhi Guiming, this governor has no opinion, but Wang Junmen, you have to explain to Lao Tzu, why did Ma Shiying Ma Inspector write your name in front of Lao Tzu in his reply?" ”

Wang Jiaping's face was embarrassed, and he hurriedly shouted: "Wronged! This is not the governor asking the lowly to preside over the contact, the horse inspector replied to the lowly position, naturally the name of the lowly post was mentioned first, the governor must not misunderstand! ”

Outside the city, the camp tents of the righteous army were all over the field, and in the tent of the righteous army commander, Liu Heizi saw that the river filling was completed, and was discussing the siege of the city with the generals.

At this time, they looked at the sand table, and Liu Heizi asked, "Old Yuan, has the king replied?" ”

Yuan Zongdi spoke: "The king attaches great importance to Xuzhou and agrees to allocate artillery to us to attack the city. He paused, "Counting the time, the Jianrui battalion should have already transported artillery on the road, and it is expected that it will be delivered to the battalion in the next few days." ”

Liu Heizi heard the words, and bowed his head with satisfaction, and at this moment, Xie Qian came in and said urgently, "Marshal, it's not good, the Qing army in the city has replaced the flag with the banner of the Ming army!" ”

Liu Heizi was taken aback when he heard this, hurriedly took his helmet, and went out of the tent with everyone, and then rode out of the camp, and stood on a hill, and saw that the triangular yellow dragon flag at the head of the city disappeared, and was replaced by a square flag with the word "Ming".

Liu Heizi looked at the city, "Wang Jiaping, this turtle grandson, what kind of fame is he doing, thinking that if he changes the flag, Lao Tzu will not beat him?" ”
