readx; "Old Huihui" Ma Shouying should take care of one or the other in the melee, but instead let the besieged Lu Xiangsheng see the right time to sneak attack and succeed, and cut off half of his head with a knife. www.biquge.info In fact, in the history of another time and space, Ma Shouying did not die so early, but history is always created, and everyone is the creator of history.

Originally, the thieves were in chaos because of the approaching fire, and they died in a battle, and immediately fell into a complete collapse. And once the army loses its fighting spirit, no matter how large the number is, it is just a lamb to the slaughter. The cavalry was still able to seize the road and flee westward, while the infantry had no horses, and seeing that the fire was getting closer and closer, even if they were not killed by the officers and soldiers, they had to be burned alive by the fire.

At this time, Lu Xiangsheng had already joined the strange soldiers killed in the city, led by Cao Wenzhao, the main general of the Guanning Iron Cavalry. He didn't know that the thief general he had killed just now was the famous "Lao Huihui", the head of the four thieves, and thought that he was just an ordinary leader. However, Cao Wenzhao watched the battle at the head of the city for a long time, and he had already recognized this person as the leader of the thieves through the banner and troops. After capturing a few captives and asking, it was really the old Huihui, Lu Xiangsheng was overjoyed, and immediately ordered the whole army to shout: "The thief chief Lao Huihui has been awarded the head, and those who surrender will not die, otherwise they will be killed!" ”

When the defenders of the city heard that the thief chief had been awarded the head, they immediately thundered with joy and their morale was greatly boosted. Originally, Cao Wenzhao was desperate to kill out of the city in order to save Lu Xiangsheng just now, and the thieves took the opportunity to rush into the doorway. Although the defenders were heavily guarded in the city, and the thieves suffered heavy casualties, the city gates just couldn't be closed. At this time, the thieves suddenly heard that the old man was dead, and the thieves could not help but be frightened and hesitated, taking advantage of this opportunity, the defenders all struggled forward, and forced the thieves who were about to enter the city to push out again, and then closed the city gate heavily.

At this time, the fire outside Yangzhou City has been overwhelming, not only the north has already become a sea of fire, but also the east and west of the city have also been on fire. It turned out that Li Laiheng's troops had already detoured to the two flanks, and as long as they found the weak points of the thieves' defenses, they rushed in and quickly set fire. With the help of the wind, the fires in the three directions were quickly connected, and the radius of dozens of miles outside Yangzhou City was like a purgatory on earth!

The thieves under Ma Shouying and others have traveled south and north over the years, killing people and setting fires everywhere they go, and they have done all kinds of evil, as the so-called "it's not that the time has not come for not reporting", and today they have finally been retributed. The periphery is a sea of fire on three sides, and the billowing smoke obscures the sky and the sun, and even the direction is not clear; From time to time, shells fell from the sky, which were the rapid-fire rapid-fire guns of the free-spirited guns on the mounds, rhythmically squeezing their dwindling living space.

Many of the thieves had horses, but at this time there were fires everywhere, and the horses had never seen such a battle, and most of them were frightened, and they were madly neighing and smashing around, either tearing their masters off their horses, or rushing into the fire with their masters, turning them into leaping fireballs. There were also thieves who ran desperately south, until they reached the Yangtze River, and there was no way to escape, so they had to jump into the icy water, and soon they were swept away by the turbulent river.

The only place on the battlefield where there is no fire is the area of Tushan, but the official cavalry here is taking advantage of the victory to pursue, ruthlessly killing the rogue infantry who have lost the command of their leader. The defenders at the head of the city did not need to save any more arrows, and the rain of arrows poured down repeatedly on the place where the thieves were concentrated. Yangzhou prefect Shi Kefa looked out from the city tower, his eyes were full of corpses and a sea of blood, although he knew that most of them were thieves, but he still couldn't help beating his chest with regret.

Before you knew it, it was almost dusk, but the fire outside the city was not only not abated, but became more ferocious, and the sky-rushing fire reflected the entire sky in a red blood. At this time, the thieves near the mountain were either dead or surrendered, and there was no one to resist, and the fire was getting closer and closer. Shi Kefa urgently ordered people to send letters to Lu Xiangsheng and Cao Wenzhao, asking them to enter the city as soon as possible. Lu Xiangsheng wanted to continue to chase and kill the escaped thieves, but it can be seen that the fire is like this, and if he doesn't enter the city, he won't even be burned by the Tianxiong army, so he has to collect troops and enter the city, and at the same time take the surviving prisoners into the city.

Before they could settle down, the fire had already burned. It turned out that because the north wind was too strong, some combustibles in the fire were brought from the air, some fell on the city, and a few fell into the city. Fortunately, as soon as Shi Kefa saw the fire during the day, he ordered the city to prepare for fire prevention, and at this time everyone hurriedly put out the fire, although they were inevitably in a hurry, but they did not cause a fire in the city. Shi Kefa hurriedly mobilized all the forces he could mobilize to strictly defend the city and the city walls, so as to protect Yangzhou, a thousand-year-old city, from the disaster of Zhurong.

After nightfall, Lu Xiangsheng, Shi Kefa, Cao Wenzhao and others watched the fire at the head of the city, and they were all shocked. Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but worry about Liu Quanzhong's troops who had penetrated into the camp of the thieves, thinking that with such a big fire, they should not burn the thieves and jade. However, somewhere in the north of the city, there would be regular cannon shots every few moments, and Lu Xiangsheng knew that it must be Liu Quanzhong when he heard it, so he was relieved.

The fire burned for four days and four nights, and even the pigeons could not leave the city. Lu Xiangsheng wanted to chase down the remnants of the thieves and report the situation of the war to the imperial court, but he couldn't even get out of the city gate, so he had to give up, and he could only look at the city every day. However, for the Guanning Iron Cavalry, Tianxiong Army, Civilian Regiment, and even the captured thieves, these four days are the most comfortable days in these days, at least they can eat and sleep steadily. The catastrophe of Yangzhou City is over!

However, no one, including Lu Xiangsheng and Cao Wenzhao Shi Kefa, did not expect or notice that just when the fire outside the city was blazing, a fairly large fleet passed by quietly and quickly sailed upstream. This fleet all hung black sails, did not fly any flags, and when passing through Yangzhou City, they deliberately chose to pass at night.

The river was already dark at night, and the attention of the people in the city was all focused on the fire, so no one noticed it. As for the naval warships from Nanjing, they did not have the habit of patrolling the river at night, and in addition to the lax armaments, they have been moored on the south bank for the past few days, basically doing nothing.

At this moment, at the mouth of the lake, seven hundred miles to the southwest, an unprecedented water battle is nearing the end. At the same time that the thieves divided into two routes and attacked Chuzhou and Yangzhou, the rebel sailors, who had been shrinking in Poyang Lake, finally began to launch a desperate attack on the North Sea Fleet at the mouth of the lake.

Qi Xianzong had already prepared for this. The North Sea Fleet still used skillful sailing techniques and artillery bombardment techniques to firmly control the Hukou waterway and Jiangzhou Island with almost no losses on its side. In the past few days, the rebel "Naval Governor" Gu Junen has lost nearly 100 warships of various sizes, and the only big ship left is the giant ship used as the flagship. The North Sea Fleet was only three small warships that were slightly damaged by the collision, and suffered dozens of casualties. However, most of the ammunition that the North Sea Fleet had worked so hard to reserve was also consumed, and some warships had already been completely destroyed.

In the early morning of this day, the rebel warships attacked the mouth of the lake again, and the North Sea Fleet had just met it, and the sailors in charge of the lookout on the Weihai suddenly shouted: "A large number of warships have been found in the west!" ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a muffled sound several miles away, and the sailors immediately lost their voices and exclaimed: "Those warships have opened fire on us!" ”
