After Liu Liangzuo learned that Gao Yihuan and Liu Heizi were attacking Shouzhou, he sent people to inform Ma Shiying, Huang Degong and others to move rescue troops to them, and on the other hand, he gathered his troops, about 6,000 people, and retreated to Shouzhou.

While he was in full swing to deploy the defense, Gao Yihuan and Liu Heizi were all the way, and the army was approaching Shouzhou.

This time, in order to eat Shouzhou, Gao Yihuan brought 6,000 elite soldiers, most of whom had followed him to Shandong and fought Tartars.

Liu Heizi now has 20,000 troops, and he left 6,000 people to garrison Yongcheng and Shangqiu to guard against the Xuzhou official army, so he led more than 14,000 people to the south.

A total of 20,000 soldiers, 20,000 people, nearly 40,000 people, falsely claimed that there were 100,000 people and horses, and they were noisy and advanced to Shouzhou.

Gao Yihuan posted a list along the way, stating that the attack on Shouzhou was because Liu Liangzuo colluded with the Tartars outside the Guanxi to transport grain, iron, cloth and other materials to the Tartars.

In short, first button down a hat, by the way, show his political stance on Tartar in advance, and then ask Liu Heizi not to touch Mengcheng and Huaiyuan, so as not to make Fengyang Ma Shiying nervous.

At the end of November, Gao Yihuan seized Yingshang County along Yingshui, leaving a soldier at the confluence of Yingshui and Huai River to monitor the enemies of Huoqiu and Lu'an, and ordered Wang Deren, who was transferred from Nanyang to Runing, to garrison the mall, so that the enemies of Lu'an and Luzhou did not dare to go north easily, and then led a large army down the Huai River to the north of Shou County, where the Huai River and Dongfeishui meet.

After Liu Heizi connected the two counties of Bozhou and Wuyang, he left 1,000 men and horses to monitor Mengcheng, and then the army went west to Xifeishui, and then went south along the river, and joined Gao Yihuan in the northern suburbs of Shouzhou.

At the time of the meeting of the Gao-Liu coalition army, Liu Liangzuo in Shouzhou City was busy preparing for the defense of the city.

On this day, at the head of the city, the young man and the soldiers were busy carrying the rolling stones and trees, and there was a thunderous sound outside the city.

The busy defenders and young men couldn't help but stand up straight one after another, looking to the north, and one by one they were immediately stunned by the scene in front of them.

A few miles away, the yellow dust suddenly rolled up in the sky, like a yellow cloud, countless war horses rushed in the clouds, waving flags, and the murderous spirit was monstrous.

Behind Huang Chen, there is a large figure, against the east fertilizer water, mighty forward.

The defenders of the city hurried to the other side of the city wall and shouted into the city: "There is an enemy! ”

Not long after, Liu Liangzuo led the generals to the city, overlooking the city, and found that the thief army was overwhelming, I am afraid that there were more than 20,000, and the figure of the thief soldiers was like the tide rising in the east fertilizer, and the generals were suddenly not calm.

At that moment, someone shouted, "There are so many thieves and horses? ”

Liu Liangzuo ignored them, but calmly took out a pair of clairvoyant mirrors, took them to look at them, and saw thousands of cavalry in front, most of them wearing black cotton armor, iron helmets, and riding spears, and their bodies rose and fell with the war horses, like a torrent, rushing towards the direction of the city.

Liu Liangzuo was shocked, he knew that Gao Yihuan had grabbed a lot of war horses, but he didn't want him to pull out a horse army so quickly.

He continued to observe, and behind him were also soldiers in armor, black armor and iron helmets walking in front, swords and guns dazzling, and behind them were soldiers wearing red armor and turbans, banners like clouds.

At this time, no matter which team it is, those who can wear armor are elites.

From this point of view, the two thieves of Gao and Liu combined, there are already more than 10,000 armor soldiers, and the corners of Liu Liangzuo's eyes can't help but twitch.

The front is all elite, and the back should always be some indiscriminate people!

But at this moment, he saw another thing that he absolutely did not want to see, the men and horses at the back, indeed did not look like elite soldiers, but among them, there were large carts, covered with tarpaulins.

"The cannon?" Liu Liangzuo was shocked, and hurriedly picked up the clairvoyant mirror and watched it again, and when it was confirmed, he was already quite apprehensive in his heart.

He didn't expect Gao Yihuan to be so strong, and for a while, Liu Liangzuo couldn't help but regret a little, maybe he shouldn't have provoked this evil star.

"Zehan, did the person who sent out to ask for help come back?" Liu Liangzuo was a little anxious.

"Father, there is no news yet!"

"Send another team out and urge it!"

At this time, when Liu Liangzuo was urging, Gao Yihuan had already led a small group of cavalry, broke away from the brigade, entered the city, and peeked at the city defense of Shouzhou.

Shouzhou, that is, today's Huainan, established by the Sui Dynasty, is a major military town in the past dynasties, with a prosperous economy and developed transportation in history, and is a place where soldiers must fight.

Gao Yihuan was wearing iron armor, hanging a treasure knife on his waist, wearing a phoenix-winged iron helmet on his head, wearing a black cloak, and pretending to hang two bows on the saddle.

Why is Shouzhou important?

Because he is just in the south of the Huai River, it is the barrier of Hefei, the southeast occupies here, you can resist the enemy in the north of the Huai River, the Central Plains occupies Shouzhou, you can get a foothold in the south of the Huai River, and then take Hefei in the south.

Although Shouzhou is only a county, its military status is as important as Sizhou and Huai'an on the Huai River.

It is precisely because of this that Ma Shiying will let Liu Liangzuo garrison here.

Gao Yihuan rode on a horse, and when he saw that the city was three feet high, the moat was surrounded, and the city wall had urn cities and horse faces, he couldn't help but let out a breath and scolded: "Liu Liangzuo, this coward, would have provoked him so much, he actually shrank in the city and didn't dare to fight!" ”

Gao Yihuan originally planned to provoke Liu Liangzuo and lead him to battle, and then killed Liu Liangzuo in a battle in the wilderness, not wanting this guy to retreat into the city.

Liu Heizi also looked at the city, smashing it, smashing it, "Brother Gao, this city, I'm afraid it's not easy to fight!" ”

Gao Yihuan smiled, "Camp first!" This time, I am determined to win, even if Shouzhou is an iron wall, I will step on him and let the world know the prestige of our brothers! ”

This time, in addition to eliminating the hidden danger of Liu Liangzuo, it is also to show strength to the Ming Dynasty, so that when they unite to resist the Qing Dynasty, they can be sold for a good price.

In Wuhu, in Huang Degong's festival hall, a soldier knelt on one knee on the ground and reported with his fists: "Qi Qi Jing Nanbo, Gao Liu and the two thieves joined forces with tens of thousands to attack Shouzhou. My marshal implores Jingnan Bonian to send troops to rescue and help my marshal for the sake of everyone being a Ming official and soldier! ”

Huang Degong frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Gao Yihuan?"

On the side, Huang Fei hurriedly whispered a few words to Huang Degong, Huang Degong raised his eyebrows when he heard this, looked at the soldiers in the hall, and suddenly waved his hand and said: "This matter is known, you should retreat first!"

Fengyang Mansion, Ma Shiying hurriedly walked back and forth in the study, with a little horror on his face, this world is really not a good life, it is almost the New Year, Liu Liangzuo, the troublemaker, actually found such a thing for him......
