Most of Wu Dinggui's troops were put into extinguishing the fire, and it was enough to deal with these Qing soldiers who entered Fengqiao, and it would not take a battalion of troops to disperse. Due to the fact that there had just been a small snowfall the day before, and the timely extinguishing of the fire, the fire on both sides of the main street was very much under control.

However, the area that Xu Fengyu finally fled to was due to the dense houses and narrow streets and alleys, and the excessive concentration of fire by the vicious Qing soldiers, and the fires in several small alleys were quickly connected.

Seeing that the officers and soldiers who had worked so hard to build up their meager family business were burned to the ground, the desperate people forgot about their mistakes, and men and women, old and young, picked up weapons that could be used, and when they saw the officers and soldiers scurrying around in the east and west, they began to chase and beat them.

Xu Fengyu and the remnants of his men became rats crossing the street, surrounded by groups in the fire. As soon as the Qing soldiers who wanted to escape from the smoke and fire showed their heads from the mouth of the smokey alleys, and there was no need for the Red Army soldiers to do so, countless civilians would pounce on them, tearing and beating, and in the blink of an eye, they would become a pile of mud that could not move, and could not even hum, and was thrown into the raging fire.

Xu Fengyu, who was deep in the alley, buckled his nose with his top strap soaked in his own urine, as if he still wanted to fight against the surrounding fire. Finally, he felt the coming of the end, his tears flowed from the smoke, he could almost feel the sweat on his body, it seemed that oil was coming out again, and the big braid, which was originally black and thick, and he was quite proud, and he didn't know when, and half of it was burned off. Seeing the soldiers around him either staggering and falling, or disappearing into the smoke, he couldn't stand it anymore, and finally burst out of the alley with fireworks.

As soon as he appeared, Xu Fengyu's costume was recognized even though it was already in tatters. "Dog officer, return my house!" An old woman whose tears had already dried her tears screamed heartbreakingly, and pounced, but before Xu Fengyu, who was in a daze, could react, a piece of flesh was bitten off his shoulder. "Mom...... Spare your life......" Xu Fengyu was smart in pain and wailed.

"Eat him!"

"Burn him!"

"Break this bastard into pieces!"

…………

The thunderous roar made Xu Fengyu begin to regret it, regretting that he shouldn't have run out like this, even if he was smoked to death, it was better than the current appearance!

"Whoa!" I don't know who poured a whole jar of lamp oil on Xu Fengyu, who had been bitten and half dead, and then he was thrown back into the alley. Xu Fengyu used his last full strength, with a raging flame, to dance the last dance steps of his life, although it was not beautiful, it was accompanied by the ghost crying wolf......

The soldiers of the Red Army did not and could not stop this scene of mass excitement, watching, looking at those who were sad and desperate because of the loss of their homeland. "Fathers, brothers, sisters, don't be sad, as long as our Celestial Empire is there, everyone will soon have a qiē again! It must be better than ever! "They comfort those in pain, but they also remind themselves that we must not allow today's catastrophe to befall anywhere.

Looking at the fires that were gradually being suppressed, Wu Dinggui felt very heavy, if he had entered Fengqiao earlier and sealed the area around Pu'an Bridge in advance, maybe there would have been no disaster. It's fortunate to think about it, but at a cursory glance, Fengqiao's loss is not big. On the one hand, he commanded the troops to clean up the fire and pacify the people, and on the other hand, he ordered the troops on guard in the vicinity of Pu'an Bridge and Mudu Pass to retreat, and at the same time mobilized the people in the east of the town to temporarily evacuate their homes to the west to avoid possible fighting.

Wu Dinggui came to Gujia Garden, located in the east of the town, where his temporary headquarters would be placed. Since he originally guarded Zhenjiang with Xu Zongyang, he and Gu Xuejiang, the son of the Gu family, still had a friendship.

Seeing that Gu Xuejiang at the gate was still a little shocked, Wu Dinggui arched his hand to him, "How is Gu Gongzi?" I haven't seen him for a long time, but I'm still so chic. ”

Gu Xuejiang was busy running to the front with his family to put out the fire just now, and there were a lot of mud stains and water stains on his body, as soon as he saw Wu Dinggui say this, he looked down at his body, returned the salute, and sighed, "It's General Wu, I really didn't expect that these dog officials really ......" He shook his head, "Fortunately, you came in time, otherwise, otherwise this Fengqiao would really disappear from now on." ”

"Yes, His Royal Highness King An is prescient, and we have a good grasp of the information of the Qing Demon in Suzhou City." Wu Dinggui pulled Gu Xuejiang and walked inside, and said in a low voice, "His Royal Highness King An has an order, and after that, Gu Gongzi will not have to enter Suzhou again, and being a dying and struggling Qing demon will be a hundred times more crazy and vicious than before." We want to keep you safe first. It just so happens that you are here to help us mobilize the big gentry and gentry to give generously to the people who have suffered from the disaster and help them restore their homes. ”

"That's natural," Gu Xuejiang smiled, and then asked again, "General Wu, is the army besieging the city?" ”

"No, we're the only ones here." Wu Dinggui looked at Gu Xuejiang with some doubts, and asked rhetorically, "What, don't believe it?" ”

"No, it's not," Gu Xuejiang shook his head, "I mean, just such a small person, once a large number of Qing troops in Suzhou come out, it will be a loss." ”

"They come out?" Wu Dinggui turned his head and ordered the people who followed him to find a ladder, then pointed to the tall roof of the big flower hall in the garden, and smiled at Gu Xuejiang, "I still want to sit on it and see if they have the courage to come." ”

More anxious than Wu Dinggui to look forward to the dispatch of the Qing army was Chen Yucheng. The teaching brigade stood by at Hushu Pass, and the scouts sent out went one after another like meteors, and returned one after another. The Qing soldiers who attempted to burn the Fengqiao have been surrounded and eliminated, and although the Fengqiao is still emitting smoke, it is basically completely protected. However, the imaginary Qing army did not show any signs of leaving the city. Could it be that Yiliang is really timid? Chen Yucheng, who was also riding on the roof of the highest part of the town, was muttering in his heart while repeatedly observing with a telescope.

Yiliang was a little timid, but it wasn't for the situation in Fengqiao. After the Taiping Army's successive battles of Changzhou and Wuxi, the army had to rest, and this gap was a good time for him to rebuild his military strength and strengthen the city's defense. He was busy mobilizing large and wealthy families, recruiting civilian armed forces, Suzhou had six large and small gates, and everywhere could not be heavily guarded, and the lack of troops made him finally understand the role of village courage and regimental training.

Contrary to his wishes, the big families seem to be absent-minded about his actions, and there are a lot of verbal promises, but the implementation is completely different. Not long after the mobilization meeting of the Governor's Palace was dispersed, some people said that he had completed his hard task, and he was very excited for a while. When I got there, I looked closely, and my nose almost fell off. Where is the practice of Yong, a little crooked is not a crooked nose and eyes, or a short back leg. Yiliang hated it and almost scolded. Yiliang is Yiliang, when he uses others, he will never hurt you. Knowing that this was deliberately fooling him in order to cope with the errand, Yiliang actually smiled and praised it, "Alas, the imperial court is in danger, and it is really rare for such people to know how to contribute to the saints!" ”

When leaving the group of so-called "Lian Yong" who disgusted him, Yiliang couldn't help but lament that Suzhou had completely lost the domineering spirit he should have. The morale of the army and the people need to be excited, otherwise, needless to say, the Taiping Army will consume Suzhou.

But what can we do to lift everyone's spirits? Yiliang was worried.
