In the early morning of the next day, Wang Jiaping and Ma Guanghui hurriedly walked up to the city and came to the edge of the city wall.

Ma Guanghui asked loudly, "What's the matter?" ”

One of the generals clenched his fists and said, "Back to the governor, a group of rogues has withdrawn!" ”

Wang Jiaping hurriedly walked to the city wall, picked up the soldiers, and took out the clairvoyant mirror to look out of the city.

The circular vision swept outside the city, and saw that the battalions of the righteous army were preparing equipment, he frowned slightly, and the camera continued to move, throwing it to the left of Liu Heizi's camp, and saw that there was a large camp, which was empty.

Wang Jiaping's face suddenly showed joy, and he said loudly: "It was Yuan Zongdi who withdrew!" ”

Ma Guanghui hurriedly walked over, took the clairvoyant mirror, and looked towards Yuan Zongdi's camp, and sure enough, there was no one.

This made him realize something immediately, and immediately blurted out, "Ma Shiying went north!" ”

Wang Jiaping nodded excitedly, and the generals around him were also overjoyed, and when the Ming army went north, they would be saved.

Wang Jiaping was a little excited and said: "Yuan Zongdi must be going to block the Ming army, and Xuzhou has no worries." ”

As he was talking, in the camp of the rebels outside the city, a drum sounded, and he saw groups of Wei troops walking out of the camp with their weapons.

Ma Guanghui's eyes narrowed, "What does Liu Heizi want to do?" ”

Wang Jiaping sneered: "Liu Heizi is in a hurry, he wants to break through the city before the Ming army rushes to control Xuzhou." As he spoke, he sneered, "But he's wishful thinking." ”

Ma Guanghui agreed with Wang Jiaping's judgment, he turned his head and said to the generals around him: "Prepare for defense, this governor will severely demoralize Liu Heizi, and then cooperate with the inside and outside, defeat Liu Heizi, and use his head as a step to advance." ”

As he was talking, the war drums outside the city thundered, and a large number of rebels left the camp with their weapons.

Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of artillery outside the city, and a cannonball smashed directly into the city, causing gravel to fly.

A battlement on the city wall was directly cut off by cannonballs, smashing several soldiers behind them into a blur of flesh and blood, falling to the ground and wailing, startling the soldiers behind them and retracting one after another.

"Don't be afraid, everyone stay in their place!" Ma Guanghui hurriedly waved his hand, "Reinforcements are coming!" ”

Under the city, the rebels shelled three rounds, and they couldn't wait to launch a charge, and the rebels in the wilderness rushed forward with their weapons.

By noon, the rebels had left nearly a thousand corpses behind, but had failed to capture the city. When the defenders of the city learned that reinforcements were coming, their morale was greatly boosted, and they drove the rebels off the city again and again.

For three days in a row, the rebels attacked continuously, and the ladders, siege towers, cave houses, crashes, long ladders and other equipment swarmed up, and the battle was extremely fierce, and the rebels and defenders suffered heavy losses.

However, the more fierce the attack of the rebels, the more relieved Wang Jiaping became, which just showed that the reinforcements were not far away.

It was night, a bright moon in the sky, and the summer night sky was full of stars, and the defenders of Xuzhou City were busy carrying rolling stones and trees, waiting for the attack of the rebels.

According to the practice of the last few days, the rebels would raise fire and fight at night, but the city sergeants were busy for a while, and the rebels who should have come to attack did not move.

At this time, Ma Guanghui and Wang Jiaping inspected the city, and suddenly a soldier came to report, "Governor, the military gate, the thieves outside the city seem to have withdrawn!" ”

Ma Guanghui was slightly stunned, walked quickly to the wall, looked at the camp in the distance, and frowned.

In the camp of the rebels outside the city, there was silence, there were many fewer torches than usual, and the torches that were lit were all fixed, and there were no mobile patrol torches in sight.

Ma Guanghui raised his eyebrows suddenly, realizing that the opportunity had come, he immediately waved his hand excitedly, "Quick, Liu Heizi is going to run, gather the soldiers and horses, and go out of the city with the governor!" ”

Ma Guanghui yelled and was about to turn around, but Wang Jiaping grabbed him and said urgently: "Governor, be careful, or send someone to investigate first!" ”

"If we surrender to the Ming Dynasty, in addition to merit, we must also have soldiers." Ma Guanghui shook his hand, trying to break free, but he didn't shake it off.

Ma Guanghui still hesitated to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, and the only way to make him feel secure was to support Liu Heizi to retreat, attack Liu Heizi, and collect those rogues, just like Zuo Liangyu, to support his own troops.

Wang Jiaping hurriedly said: "Governor, it's night after all, it won't take much time to send someone to check!" ”

Seeing this, Ma Guanghui hesitated, but still said to the left and right: "Ma Ning, you go to investigate, Chief Jia, you go and prepare soldiers and horses!" ”

The gates were quietly opened, and a troop of cavalry rushed out of the city to the camp of the rebels, while the defenders of the city quickly assembled.

Wang Jiaping stood beside Ma Guanghui a little anxiously, and after a while, a team of cavalry galloped back, and shouted loudly from afar: "The thieves have withdrawn!" The thieves have withdrawn! ”

The defenders of the city were in a commotion, and countless figures flocked to the city gate, and they saw the generals who had just left the city running up the city wall, clasping their fists and saying: "Governor, Liu Heizi has escaped!" ”

Wang Jiaping asked urgently, "Are you sure?" ”

"It was withdrawn! I entered the camp to check, refused to move away, the supplies in the camp were scattered everywhere, empty, Liu Heizi left in a hurry, and he suspected that the Ming army was about to arrive! Ma Ning replied excitedly.

Ma Guanghui was also excited, and at this moment, in the southeast of Xuzhou, more than ten miles away, suddenly the flames soared into the sky, and there was a faint sound of shouting and killing.

At this moment, the eyes of the people in the city lit up, and they heard someone say: "This must be killed by the Ming army!" ”

Wang Jiaping was immediately shocked, and immediately hugged his fists and said: "Governor, I am willing to be a pioneer officer and go out of the city to kill the enemy!" ”

Ma Guanghui hurriedly shook his head and said solemnly: "Wang Junmen has always been cautious, the situation at night is complicated, and the heavy responsibility of guarding Xuzhou still depends on Wang Junmen. ”

After speaking, Ma Guanghui turned around directly, waved his hand excitedly and shouted: "Go, kill the thief with Bendu!" ”

After a while, the city gate of Xuzhou came again, Ma Guanghui carried a big gun, rode in the lead, and 12,000 infantry horses behind him, poured out of the city, galloping towards the southeast.

Wang Jiaping took 3,000 soldiers and horses to defend the city, looked at Ma Guanghui in the distance with annoyance, and slammed his fist on the wall.

There was no way, the official level crushed people to death, and lost the opportunity to show his face in front of Ma Shiying and Ma Inspector in vain.

In the night, more than 10,000 Xuzhou defenders ran in the direction of the shouting of killing in the distance, and Ma Guanghui was in front of the team, constantly shouting orders: "Speed up!" ”

The physical strength of the soldiers varied, and the quality was uneven, and the team soon dragged on longer and longer, pulling out two or three miles.

At this time, the shouting and killing sound in front of him was getting closer and closer, and Ma Guanghui's face was overjoyed, but he didn't want to change suddenly.

In the woods and grass on both sides of the road, Liu Heizi led more than 10,000 elite soldiers to ambush here. He stared sharply at the chaotic marching procession, and when they all entered the predetermined area, he immediately shouted, "Kill!" ”

A rocket screamed into the air and exploded suddenly, countless torches were raised on both sides of the official road, and the volunteer soldiers jumped up and roared loudly, "Kill!" ”

Liu Heizi slapped the horse's buttocks, galloped out of the woods, and led hundreds of cavalry into the official road, which frightened the Xuzhou defenders into disarray, and the team was suddenly in chaos.

The righteous soldiers shot arrows, rushed in with knives, harvested human heads, Liu Heizi galloped on horseback, slashed with big swords, rolled human heads, and the enemy soldiers in front of him scattered and fled.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Ma Guanghui's face changed greatly, and he exclaimed that classic line, "It's not good, it's a trick, run!" ”

Ma Guanghui pulled the reins of the horse, turned around and rushed back, but Liu Heizi was killed head-on.

At this time, Liu Heizi shouted, the big knife swept across the gate, and a fierce wind blew, Ma Guanghui hurriedly raised his gun to block, but his arm was numb, and the war horse screamed.

Liu Heizi slashed with one knife, and the next knife came again, and there was no discipline, that is, the strength was great, the door knife was thick and fast, he smashed several knives in a row, one knife was more powerful than the other, Ma Guanghui couldn't bear it, the big gun got out of his hand, and was smashed so that a mouthful of blood spurted out.

Ma Guanghui shouted in shock, pulled out the horse and wanted to leave, Liu Heizi roared loudly, "Die!" His big knife swept again, the head flew up, blood shot out, and Ma Guanghui was killed by a knife on ~~~~~~the spot
