Hundreds of soldiers flocked to Hong Luliang. The Tartars were already bombarded by cannons. When they saw An Guojun rushing up, they fled one after another. Some of them were blinded by blood courage and wanted to resist, but they were stabbed into a hornet's nest by dozens of bayonets.

Zhao Tian led the way in. Compared to ordinary Tartars, Zhao Tian was more interested in Shang Kexi. This guy is second only to Wu Sangui and Hong Chengchou's old traitor. If he could capture him alive, it would be a great contribution.

Zhao Tian and his men cut down countless Tartars all the way. Whoever dared to block the road was dead, and rushed to the government office. When he rushed to the yamen panting, he saw the flames inside soaring into the sky, and it was already burning.

There were a few scary dressed up, with bulging arms in their arms, running outside.

"stop!"

When an old man saw them, he was so scared that his face turned like a dirt, and he was about to run away. Zhao Tian flew up and kicked him in the back. After kicking this guy down, Zhao Tian stepped on his neck.

"Listen to me, where did Shang Kexi go?"

The guy under his feet said hurriedly: "The villain is just a chore, but the villain doesn't know!"

"Hmph, I still dare to say I don't know. I'll trample on you to death!"

Zhao Tian said as he tried his best to his feet, and the heavy military boots continued to increase his strength. But this person stole a big golden bowl from the mansion and pressed it on his chest. After pressing it, he almost suffocated!

"Sir, please spare me, the younger one said everything!"

Zhao Tian relaxed slightly, and the guy said breathlessly: "Sir, Shang Kexi has already run away. Since the city wall was blown up, he didn't even enter the yamen. He threw a pile of torches from outside. He turned around and ran towards the west city!"

"Hmph, it's cunning!"

Zhao Tian frowned and waved his hand: "Chasing me!"

They hurriedly chased westward. The family was holding the big golden bowl in their arms and finally got up, but they wanted to escape. But two bayonets were waiting for him.

"Don't think of running away. Lead the way honestly. If you can't catch Shang Kexi, you will pay the bill!"

Zhao Tian and his men chased to Xicheng, stood on the city tower, and looked into the distance. A ball of dust was quickly rolling towards the northwest, most of which were Shang Kexi and his confidants.

After silently planning for a while, I had already run five miles.

"Hmph, I can run to the first day of the junior high school, but I can't run to Xuzhou anyway. I will not let you go at that time!"

Zhao Tianqi stomped his feet with a humming stomp and scattered all his anger on the remaining Tartars in the city, from east to west, from south to north, all the bullets were fired, and the bayonets were broken. After more than an hour of killing and slashing, more than a thousand Tartars were finally killed.

While the soldiers were cleaning the battlefield, Gu Zhenhua and his soldiers finally drove into Lu Lianghong and stood in this small city full of stories. Gu Zhenhua was also filled with emotion.

"Dude, it's only fifty miles away from Xuzhou. Do you think you want to rest and then advance?"

"No need." Gu Zhenhua shook his head and said, "A great river and country are in the hands of the Tatars for a moment, and we will have more shame. Clean the battlefield and hurry up immediately."

"Abide by the order!"

Zhao Tian led his subordinates to serve as the vanguard of the entire army. In order to speed up the marching, he also used all the seized war horses to transport cannons. All the soldiers carried dry food on their backs and rushed towards Xuzhou day and night.

...

"Prince Ying, Prince Shang is back!"

Ajig's face suddenly turned dark: "Hmph. He still has the face to come back, why don't he die outside!"

The subordinates dared not respond like this, so they could only stand stupidly. After a while, Ajig said, "Go and call him in!"

Not many fashion kohsiung walked in from outside, with his head hanging down, his shoulders covered with one hand, grinning his teeth, and a look of pain.

"Prince Shang, are you injured?"

"Prince Ying, the injury of Huye is nothing, but Huye has important things to report!"

"Since injury is nothing, can't you supervise the battle with injuries? Lu Lianghong is the gateway to Xuzhou, guarding the important land of the canal. Minggou took Lu Lianghong and could go straight in! I am sure to take Xuzhou within five days, but you lost Lu Lianghong in less than one day and destroyed my major affairs. What do you think you should do?"

Facing Ajige's questioning, Shang Kexi also looked embarrassed. This is the case when she is a dog. If the master is unhappy, you will definitely vent your anger!

Fortunately, Shang Kexi was thick-skinned, and he said with a shameless look: "Prince Ying, Bei Zhi knew he was guilty. He originally wanted to repay the former emperor, Your Majesty, and the Regent's Hong En, before he died in battle, but Bei Zhi felt that some things needed to be reported to the prince, so he came back licking his face. If the prince felt that Bei Zhi should not say this, then you just ask for the crime!"

Ajige suppressed his anger and sneered, "You are also the prince personally appointed by the late emperor. How dare I ask for guilt? Just say anything if I have anything."

"Yes!" Shang Kexi nodded, thought for a while and said, "Prince, although Bei Yi was defeated, Bei Yi discovered the tactics of the Anguo Army. It was really sharp, so the prince must pay attention to it."

"Tactics, what kind of tactics?"

Shang Kexi said: "They have heavy artillery and fire guns, and they line up in battle formations during wartime, using artillery from afar and fire guns near. They also have firearms such as Divine Fire Flying Crows, and their combat power is amazing. Whether it is siege, field battle, or battle or defense, they have unique features. If they cannot restrain their sharp firearms, they will not be able to win!"

Ajige disagreed and sneered: "I think it's a big deal. We also have artillery and muskets. No matter how powerful this thing is, can it withstand the impact of the Eight Banners Power?"

Shang Kexi curled his lips secretly and said in his heart that he was talking about the Eight Banners. In front of Gu Zhenhua, you have never gotten a bargain. Don’t you know the lesson?

Of course, Shang Kexi would not say so directly, but said with a wry smile: "The Eight Banners Powers are invincible in the world, which is well known. However, the Ming people have strong firepower, and even if they win, they will suffer heavy losses. What's more, the entire Boluo army is gone. Our troops are no longer superior. If we fight like this, it will be a big deal, and it will not be worth the loss."

Shang Kexi's meaning is very clear, just telling you that Boluo thinks so too, this guy is finished. Do you want to follow his footsteps?

Ajige is not a fool either. Although he is arrogant, he also knows that fighting hard may not be beneficial.

After walking around the big tent for a few times, Ajige said, "Prince Shang. If you have any injuries, sit down first. If you have any good ideas, just say, I will definitely obey."

Ajige's words softened. Shang Kexi looked around and suddenly leaned out. He lowered his voice and said, "Prince Ying, I have been thinking about ways to deal with the Anguo Army all the way. They have strong firepower and cannot be matched, but since ancient times, we can think of other ways."

"Water and fire are incompatible? Are you saying that you are waiting for a rainy day to fight with them? That has some impact on their fuse!"

Shang Kexi smiled slightly: "Prince. Gu Zhenhua can avoid it even on rainy days, right? I mean to find something he can't avoid!"

"What?"

"Yellow River!" Ajige was also startled by these two words from Shang Kexi's mouth.

...

After galloping fifty miles a day, Zhao Tian finally saw the towering city walls of Xuzhou in the dim morning light. There were also many camps outside the city, with the flag of Tartars floating.

"Send a letter to the city immediately. Reinforcements arrive, so they are happy too!"

The little pigeon flew over the camp easily with the news and reached the top of the city. Wu Kaijie and the others had already been looking at each other. When they saw the pigeon, they were overjoyed and hurriedly picked up the pigeon in their hands.

"Oh, I'm finally saved, I can rest!"

Wu Kaijie's whole body became soft and sat on the top of the city. At this time, Hu Maozhen and Li Guodong were both standing beside him and pulled Wu Kaijie.

"Save people to the end, and send Buddha to the west. Staff Wu, please wait to welcome reinforcements into the city!"

Huang Degong also smiled and said, "That's right. I think it should be a cooperating inside and outside. I didn't say that, Huang is willing to be the one who charges."

Hu Maozhen waved his hand quickly and said with a smile: "Mr. Huang, you have always fought a lot. It's not a small amount of credit. Brother Li and I will fight out with our men and horses to ensure that we can successfully bring reinforcements in!"

Huang Degong thought about it and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll ask you two."

Hu Maozhen and Li Guodong immediately drew two thousand elite soldiers from their soldiers. They said they were elite soldiers, but after fighting these days, they were exhausted, and some were even injured. However, when they heard the reinforcements arrived, they were all energetic.

The contact with Zhao Tian was done properly, and the guns were fired outside the city, and both sides fought out together.

Finally, waves of cannon sounded outside the city, and smoke burst out from the Tartar camp. Hu Maozhen and Li Guodong became brave and rushed to the Tartar camp with their men.

After crossing the trench, he rushed to the camp, and made great progress, but when he got inside, both of them were stunned.

"This, why are there no Tartars? Where have they all escaped?"

Li Guodong and Hu Maozhen were both shocked. Could it be that they had fallen into the trap?

At this time, the other soldiers also ran to the front and said, "Sir, the camp is empty, there are no Tartars at all!"

"Hmph, I don't believe they can disappear, hurry up and follow me!"

He ran away not far again, and suddenly heard a sound of people shouting horses neighing in front of him, and Hu Maozhen rushed over.

"Tartars!"

"Tartars!"

As soon as the two sides met, a fool shot directly. The bullet accidentally hit the tassel on Hu Maozhen's helmet, which scared Hu Maozhen's whole body.

"Don't shoot!"

At this time, Zhao Tian hurried over and shouted loudly: "Are the brothers from Xuzhou opposite?"

"Are there reinforcements from An Guojun on the opposite side?"

The soldier who fired the gun was also stunned. After a long time of trouble, it turned out to be his own family.

Zhao Tian hurried to Hu Maozhen and said ashamed: "It's all my fault for not restraining me, which scares you!"

"I was indeed frightened, but I was surprised at how this brother's shooting skills were so great. He even hit such a small soldier. It was amazing!"

Everyone laughed at his words, and the scene suddenly became harmonious.

After a brief introduction by Hu Maozhen and Zhao Tian, ​​they searched the Tartars camps everywhere and found that all the Tartars in the southwest of Xuzhou had been removed, leaving only the empty military camps.

"What did the Tartars sing? Are they going to make an empty city plan?"

Hu Maozhen smiled and said, "Maybe the Tartars heard that Duke Ji was coming, which scared them out of their courage, so they all ran away early!"

Zhao Tian couldn't figure it out at the moment, so he could only send a letter to Gu Zhenhua.

Gu Zhenhua was only more than half a day away from Zhao Tian. He led the army and arrived in Xuzhou calmly.

Huang Degong, He Tengjiao, Wu Kaijie, Zhou Yingjie and others all led their troops outside the city.

Gu Zhenhua took a few steps and took the initiative to reach out and grabbed Huang Degong.

"Brother, why did you become clear at a glance? Brother Rong guessed whether the Tartars shot Brother Huang in the eyes with an arrow. Brother Huang grabbed the arrow shaft and shouted that his father's sperm and mother's blood would be abandoned! Then he swallowed it in big mouths, scaring countless Tartars to death!"

Huang Degong laughed: "Brother Gu, don't think Huang is a rough man, you know that you compare me to Xiahou Dun! Huang doesn't have the courage to compare to heroes, but just one sentence, Huang is worthy of his heart these days when he guards Xuzhou!"
