When the Taiping Army won the Lutou River for the second time, the situation in Guangxi completely collapsed.

After learning that Li Dingguo led his headquarters to flee to Kunming with Bao Yongli and Zhu Youlang, Chen Weixin, the governor of Guangxi appointed by the Qing court, immediately sent troops to attack the Ming army in Guangxi, including the commander line Guoan, the general soldier Ma Xiong of Wuzhou, and the general soldier of the right wing, Quanjie, etc., and successively broke through the state capitals of Pingle, Xunzhou, Qingyuan, and Nanning garrisoned by the Ming army, and on March 24, he gathered more than 16,000 soldiers and horses to besiege the city of Liuzhou, which was heavily guarded by the Ming army.

After the victory in Guilin, Xu Tianyou led 4,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Wuzhou City, and was defeated by the line Guoan, and had no choice but to lead more than 1,000 remnants to retreat to Liuzhou.

Zhu Xisan, a member of the Ming Dynasty clan who originally guarded Guilin, also led hundreds of remnants to Liuzhou to join Xu Tianyou after abandoning Guilin due to the defeat of the Qing army. The two reorganized the army in Liuzhou City, recruited volunteers, and made the number of defenders of the city reach more than 5,000. Before the Qing army besieged the city, Liuzhou City was already the largest number of Ming troops in Guangxi, and there were more than 15,000 soldiers and horses in each department, which was roughly equivalent to the Qing army's siege strength.

However, compared with the Qing army with great morale, the Ming army in Liuzhou City was a newly defeated division, and except for Xu Tianyou's more than 1,000 soldiers with a little combat effectiveness, the rest of the troops had almost no combat power, so although the number was not less than the Qing army, the morale of the army was extremely low. The generals were not confident in whether they could hold Liuzhou, and the majority of those who advocated abandoning Liuzhou and retreating to Yunnan accounted for the majority, and at the critical time, the general soldier Liao Feng stood up and scolded the generals who advocated giving up Liuzhou, so that the generals reluctantly agreed to hold on.

After the siege of the Qing army. The soldiers and civilians in Liuzhou City were in panic all day.

On the 25th, Guoan of the Qing Guangxi Admiral Line ordered the Wuzhou General Soldier Ma Xiong Department and the Right Wing General Army Quanjie Department to take the lead in attacking the city.

Before the siege, the line of national security was to stimulate the morale of the army. After the order was made, the city could be slaughtered for three days, and the chickens and dogs were not left.

"Kill into Liuzhou City, no chickens and dogs will be left!"

Inspired by the order to slaughter the city, the Qing army shouted slogans and rushed towards the city gates.

Guangxi Admiral Line Guoan was dressed in bright armor, staring at the front silently, and behind him was more than 2,000 Admirals of the 3rd Battalion who were on standby. Only the sound of the wind blowing through the flag and the sound of fighting in the distance from the city of Liuzhou.

After Kong Youde's death, the remnants of the Han army under the Dingnan Domain were taken over by the line Guoan, because Kong Youde's troops were all firearms. Therefore, the 3 battalions of the national security line are also all firearms, and their combat effectiveness is the first of the Qing army in Guangxi. It was also with these more than 2,000 Han army banner soldiers under the Dingnan Domain that Line Guoan was able to make a comeback after the main force of Li Dingguo's army withdrew from Guangxi.

After the siege of the whole section, it was stubbornly resisted by the defenders of Liuzhou, and the offensive was blocked. The whole section received a lot of Ming army surrenders. These surrenders were still Ming troops a few days ago. This will refuse to give his life to attack the city for the Qing army, hiding behind and refusing to contribute.

Seeing this, the whole section didn't talk nonsense, and directly asked the pro-soldier team to catch dozens of soldiers who had been staying behind and refused to rush forward to behead them on the spot. When the rest of the troops saw this, they were so frightened that they didn't dare to delay any longer, and rushed desperately under the city wall.

The Qing army attacked the east gate and the north gate of Liuzhou at the same time, with the Ma Xiong division attacking the east gate and the Quanjie division attacking the north gate.

The Ming army was responsible for guarding the east gate under the command of Xu Tianyou. It is also the strongest combat force. Guarding the north gate are Zhu Xisan of the clan and Liao Fengbu, the chief soldier.

Zhu Xisan once abandoned Guilin, but there was no way to do it. At that time, there were only more than 1,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, but the Qing army that came to attack Guilin had tens of thousands, and the disparity in strength was too great, so he had to abandon Guilin and retreat to Liuzhou. Like Liao Feng, he also advocated sticking to it, but it was a pity that he and Liao Feng together only had less than 2,000 soldiers, and most of them were township warrior regiments trained along the way, and their combat effectiveness was far less than the more than 1,000 original Daxi soldiers under Xu Tianyou. Therefore, soon after the Qing army attacked the city, the northern city was in danger.

Seeing that the Ming army at the head of the city seemed to be unable to hold on, the whole festival was overjoyed, and sent his own troops to storm the city gate, trying to seize the first credit for breaking the city. Soon, the Ming army in Beicheng was unable to resist the attack of the Qing army, and the city gate was lost, but the Ming army in the city was still stubbornly blocking the Qing army from entering the city.

"Hurry, hurry, we can't let the north gate get first!"

Ma Xiong looked at it here, the whole section broke the north city, and he was immediately anxious, although the Ming army at the head of the east city resisted the heroes, but the fool also knew that the north city was lost, and the Ming army in the city would definitely not be able to hold it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, if the people of the whole festival are allowed to take the lead, the women and wealth in the city will not be our share!"

The city was in sight, and Ma Xiong didn't want to kill or injure too many soldiers and horses, so he encouraged those Ming soldiers to die for him.

"Liuzhou City is an important town of the Ming army, and there is more money, grain and goods in it than Guilin, what are you still doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and take your people to rush up!"

Under the bewitchment and instigation of Ma Xiong, a group of Ming army generals gritted their teeth and went out, wawa shouted and led his subordinates to climb towards the city again without fear of death.

Ma Xiong ordered the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to shoot arrows at the head of the city, which greatly reduced the casualties of the Ming army who were climbing, and the efficiency was also improved a lot.

"General, the north gate is lost, we can't hold it!"

"Quick, get down the wall, get down the wall!"

Xu Tianyou couldn't imagine that the north gate couldn't be defended for even a day, knowing that the general trend had gone, and this Liuzhou City couldn't be defended.

"Withdraw, while the south gate is still in our hands, hurry up and break through from the south city!"

In fact, the idea of breaking through had appeared in Xu Tianyou's mind many times before, but every time he pressed this idea, because he was the chief soldier of Liuzhou, if he abandoned Liuzhou and fled in embarrassment like a lost dog, he would not be able to explain to King Jin. That Japanese military discussion, all the generals advocated abandoning Liuzhou, Xu Tianyou was also very moved, if it weren't for Liao Feng and Zhu Xisan's insistence that they couldn't abandon it, I'm afraid he would have already led people to retreat to Yunnan.

The north gate was lost, and Xu Tianyou couldn't care about how to explain to King Jin, if he didn't leave, he couldn't leave even if he wanted to. Seeing that Zhu Xisan and Liao Feng's soldiers were still desperately fighting with the Qing soldiers who rushed in under the north gate, Xu Tianyou sighed and ordered his subordinates to quickly follow him to remove the city wall and break through from the south city to the west.

As soon as Xu Tianyou's soldiers ran, the rest of the Ming army and Qingzhuang on the eastern city of course could not stop the Qing army, and soon, the eastern city wall was quickly occupied by the Qing army.

Looking at the Ming army fleeing in all directions at the head of the city, Ma Xiong laughed, Liuzhou City is his!

After clearing the last of the resisting Ming troops on the city wall, Ma Xiong and his men rushed down the city wall, chasing the Ming troops who were fleeing for their lives, and at the same time sending people to remove the stones and miscellaneous trees blocked behind the city gate.

After the east gate was opened, the cheers of the Qing army resounded over the east city, and the sound spread to the other three gates, frightening the Ming army and the people in the city.

Quan Jie regretted helplessly drooping his face and urging his subordinates to hurry into the city, so many people died, and in the end, this work was still robbed by Ma Xiong, he was very sorry in his heart, and he could only put his fire on the heads of the Ming troops who were still desperately blocking the Qing soldiers from entering the city.

"Kill, kill them all for me, no chickens and dogs will be left!"

With the entry of the Qing army of Ma Xiongbu and Quanjie Division, the loss of Liuzhou City has become a fact.

Xu Tianyou hurriedly fled to the south of the city under the escort of his own soldiers. Along the way, from time to time, subordinates who fled from other directions joined him, and when he fled to Nancheng, there were more than a thousand remnants of soldiers who followed Xu Tianyou.

Yining Bolongtao did not flee like Xu Tianyou, but took more than 700 soldiers under his command to desperately resist the Qing army rushing in, trying to cover the escape of the people. But the general trend has gone, half an hour later, Yining Bo Long Tao was martyred, none of the 700 Ming troops escaped, all died with Long Tao, it can really be said that the battle to the last soldier.

The desperate resistance of Long Tao's subordinates bought time for the people in the city to escape, and about 2,000 people escaped from the city when the Qing army rushed to the southern city, while the rest could no longer escape, and could only wait for their own imminent tragic fate.

"Slaughter the city, Lord Admiral orders the slaughter of the city!"

The eyes of the Qing soldiers who rushed into Liuzhou City were full of beast flames.

The banner soldiers of the Han army, who have always been most excited about the slaughter of the city, will find it strange to find that those soldiers of the original Ming army who have just surrendered and whose braids on the back of their heads have not been cut off seem to be no worse than their own excitement about the slaughter.

"Lord Admiral, you can't slaughter the city, once this is slaughtered, how can other cities in Guangxi occupied by the Ming army be willing to surrender, for the sake of the Admiral, for the Qing Dynasty, the lower officials implore the Admiral to take back his order!"

Outside the city, Wang Guangzhao, the prefect of Pingle, and Cai Yuanlong, the governor of Xunzhou, who had just surrendered not long ago, held the legs of the horse of the line Guoan and begged, hoping that the line Guoan could take back the order to slaughter the city.

Cai Yuanlong cried and begged: "Once the city is slaughtered, the women and children in the city will have no physiology, how innocent they will suffer from this knife and neck!" The lower official implores the Admiral to take back his orders and spare their lives! ”

"If Liuzhou is slaughtered, the people of Guangxi will regard our Qing soldiers as a flood beast, and in the future, the whole city will be defended and fight to the death with our Qing soldiers, which is not good for our army!" Wang Guangzhao said.

"This official's order has been issued, how can it be withdrawn?"

Immediately, Xian Guoan said lightly, his eyes were firmly fixed on Liuzhou City in front of him, and he ignored the pleas of the two demoted officials.

The generals of the line state security department were impatient when they heard this, and they wanted to step forward and drag these two bastards aside, so as to save them a good thing by entering the city.

Seeing that Guoan didn't pay attention to his request, Cai Yuanlong suddenly gritted his teeth and said: "The reason why we are returning to the Qing Dynasty is because the Qing Dynasty has become a big situation to unify the world, and we don't want the people to suffer from swords and soldiers anymore, so we shave our hair and lower the Qing, and want to save some vitality for the people of Guangxi." But Lord Admiral is going to order the slaughter of the city today, although I, Cai Yuanlong, have lost my integrity, but I will never see such atrocities happening that people and gods are angry about, if Lord Admiral insists on going his own way, the lower officials will be killed here! After speaking, he stumbled and was about to find a stone, and his action startled Wang Guangzhao: Yesterday, he was looking for death? (To be continued.) )
