"General, it's done, the defenders of the South City Gate have already fought each other, it seems that the battle to attack the heart has been effective, and the rest of the gates are also floating in people's hearts."

Hearing Yuan Shu's report, Cao Bianjiao also bowed slightly, this was expected by him, and there was not much surprise, and he said to Yuan Shu at the moment: "Pass the order, the four gates will launch an offensive together, and the other gates need to leave five hundred men and horses on guard, and no one is allowed to go out. ”

"Yes!" Yuan Shu went to the herald again, he has been replacing Cao Bianjiao in the front line to supervise the battle, he is also very happy to see such a change, he can take Suizhou without effort, this is naturally the most ideal thing.

In Suizhou City, Xu Dingguo has already gotten the news, the hearts of the four people are floating, I am afraid that the city will be broken today, Xu Dingguo is also very helpless, I didn't expect the soldiers under his command to be so incompetent, but they can't withstand Cao Bianjiao's instigation, they will be ready to rebel so quickly, how long has it been, Cao Bianjiao has completed the siege in less than half a day.

"Father, the guards have all been assembled, so let's take advantage of the chaos to kill them! You can't sit back and relax! Xu Dingguo's second son Xu Erji was also persuaded at the moment, if they didn't go, it would be a dead end, and anyone could surrender again to the Ming Dynasty, but their father and son had no chance of survival.

"Go ......" Xu Dingguo did not delay, and immediately prepared to withdraw.

At this moment, the south gate has been opened, Xu Dingguo's three hundred governors of the team have surrendered except for a few people, the rest of the people have been killed, the last murder of Gao Jie, they are all participants, they know the inside story, but they are also worried about Cao Bianjiao's investigation afterwards, and they dare not surrender, so they can only fight to the death, but the defense of the city will be far more than them, more than 2,000 people besieged and killed more than 300 people, and Cao Bianjiao's soldiers have entered the city, they are naturally unable to resist.

"Brothers, rush in with me and capture and kill Xu Dingguo, the old horseman!" After Zu Dale entered the city, he burst into a shout, and led the headquarters of the war cavalry to rush in, their target was Xu Dingguo, as for the city defense, it was Liu Wenxiu, Cao Dingjiao, their business, Cao Bianjiao already had an arrangement, no need for him to worry about anything.

Li Chengdong was receiving the city defense at the west gate, at this time a group of men and horses rushed over, Li Chengdong also hurriedly prepared to meet the enemy, when the people approached, he also saw the other party clearly, suddenly it was Xu Dingguo, he was still very surprised, how did Xu Dingguo run to his west gate.

In fact, there is only one way out for Xu Dingguo now, that is, to go north to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the easiest way is to break through from the north gate, or break through from the nearest east gate, but Xu Dingguo is also an old fritter who has fought all his life, he knows that Cao Bianjiao will definitely think so, the south gate is Cao Bianjiao's handsome account, and he must not go, then he will go from the west gate, if he can't go to Hebei, it is okay to go to Shaanxi to join Li Zicheng, anyway, he just needs to save his life.

"Xu Dingguo, you old horseman, you dare to betray the country for glory and kill General Gao, today is your death!" Li Chengdong saw Xu Dingguo coming to look for death, he was also angry, and rushed forward with a knife, you are Gao Jie's general, you participated in the exile uprising when you were a teenager, and you have always been subordinate to Gao Jie, and later Gao Jie surrendered to the imperial court, and he did not hesitate to follow, after learning that Gao Jie died, he was also very sad, and now when he saw the enemy appear, he naturally went crazy.

"Rushing out is the way to live, rushing ......" Xu Dingguo also did not stop, continued to impact, there were less than a thousand people around him, if he didn't rush out as soon as possible, once he was surrounded, it would be really difficult to fly at that time.

"I want to go, no way!" Li Chengdong rode straight to Xu Dingguo and left.

"Bang dang ......" Li Chengdong exerted all his strength, the blade slashed obliquely, and went down towards Xu Dingguo's shoulder and neck, Xu Dingguo also hurriedly blocked, with the help of horse speed, to rush away Li Chengdong, but he found that he made a mistake, Li Chengdong was over thirty years old, and it was the end of his youth, and he was almost sixty years old, and he had already reached the age of decay of qi and blood, although his body was still quite tough, but Li Chengdong was not an ordinary partial general, but a famous general under Gao Jie, and beside Cao Bianjiao, he was also a famous general.

"Ah......" Xu Dingguo blocked Li Chengdong's fierce blow, but he did not rush out with the help of horse speed, but was shocked back, and the whole person flew up from the horse, fell to the ground, and spit out a mouthful of blood from his mouth.

"Father!" Xu Dingguo's son Xu Erji also hurriedly rushed over at the moment, wanting to save Xu Dingguo, but Li Chengdong didn't give him this opportunity at all, rode up, raised his knife and fell, a bloody human head flew up and landed in the crowd, at this moment everyone has been mixed together, no one cares about these at all, Li Chengdong's soldiers and horses are Gao Jie's old troops, these people are not afraid of death and want to take revenge, so they and Xu Dingguo's soldiers and horses are in the dark, but they have not been able to rush out.

"Kill ......" Zu Dale finally arrived, after entering the city, Zu Dale led the army to capture and kill Xu Dingguo, but when he arrived, Xu Dingguo had already run, Zu Dale immediately seized the time to continue the pursuit, he couldn't let Xu Dingguo run away from his hands, otherwise how to treat Cao Bianjiao, even if Cao Bianjiao had arranged soldiers and horses in the outer city just in case, but Zu Dale still didn't want to see such a situation happen.

Nearly 10,000 horses and horses fought in Licheng, and there was a bleak sound of shouting and killing, blood flowed like a river, and even the floor tiles on the street were dyed red, Xu Dingguo's father and son were killed, most of the 1,000 men and horses under his guard were killed, and the rest were captured.

Cao Bianjiao rode into the city, the soldiers were cleaning the battlefield, cleaning the streets, the common people were confined to the door, did not dare to show their heads, the officials were murderous thieves, this is the most true portrayal of the last years of the Ming Dynasty, many officials and soldiers entered the city after doing things is to rob and kill, than those thieves are more ferocious, so they are afraid, dare not easily go out of the house.

"Bo Ying, this is your hometown, the matter of appeasing the people will be left to you, be sure to stabilize people's hearts as soon as possible, and then let the people return to normal life, I am going to occupy the magpie's nest for the time being, your Yuan family's mansion, I need to take it for the time being, don't mind you, the master, in addition, early tomorrow morning, let's go and worship your father together!"

"Humble and orderly, the general is not polite, the Yuan Mansion is allowed to live by the general!"

Yuan Shu is a native of Suizhou, his mansion was occupied by Xu Dingguo before, Gao Jie also died tragically, he is also very sorry, a good mansion, it is so bad, Cao Bianjiao moved in, he has no opinion, their family has moved south, this mansion has also been vacant, otherwise Xu Dingguo would not occupy it.

Yuan Keli has gone through Wanli, Taichang, Tianqi, Chongzhen four emperors, for the "four dynasties veteran" ministers, the "five generations of grace" reward, for the official not a powerful noble, dare to ask for the people's life, is the late Ming Dynasty famous Qing officials and anti-Qing ministers, for such a person, Cao Bianjiao also has a respect, to this place, naturally to worship.
