This was a well-planned ambush, and after Liu Heizi and Yuan Zongdi discussed, the military advisor Zhao Shuxiang suggested that since Wang Jiaping colluded with the Ming army, then the plan would be calculated.

In order to convince the defenders of Xuzhou, Liu Heizi asked Yuan Zongdi to lead his troops to retreat first, letting the defenders of Xuzhou know that the Ming army had gone north.

Because it is not clear whether Xuzhou and Ma Shiying have agreed on a time, Yuan Zongdi really went to resist the Ming army, and Ma Shiying has really crossed the Huai River.

This is true, and if they agree on the time of rescue, the defenders of Xuzhou will not suspect it.

Then, Liu Heizi began to storm the city, giving the defenders of Xuzhou the illusion that he wanted to break the city before the Ming army rushed to defeat Xuzhou.

After three days of continuous attack, the rebels suddenly retreated, which would make the defenders of Xuzhou mistakenly believe that the Ming army had been killed, and Liu Heizi was forced to flee.

At this time, what the defenders of Xuzhou had to do was naturally to go out of the city to pursue, and the Ming army that rushed to fight inside and outside, beating the water dogs.

At this point, most of the ordinary people have been fooled, but the military advisor Zhao Shuxiang suggested lighting another fire, so that the defenders in the city mistakenly thought that the righteous army was fighting fiercely with the Ming army, and Ma Guanghui really fell for the plan and rushed out with men and horses.

More than 12,000 defenders of Xuzhou, if they were to defend the city, more than 100,000 rebels might not be able to take it down for several months, but at night they ran for nearly 20 miles, the team was scattered, and they were suddenly attacked by the rebels who were waiting for work, and the result was no suspense at all.

After Ma Guanghui's death, the Xuzhou army began to rout on all fronts, and the soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and they scattered and fled.

In less than half an hour, the whole battle ended quickly, Ma Guanghui was beheaded, making the battle meaningless, and the defenders of Xuzhou surrendered in pieces.

Liu Heizi carried a blood-dripping broadsword, looked at the battlefield, and immediately shouted: "Xie Qian, you stay to clean up the battlefield, take prisoners, and the rest of the people rush to Xuzhou with Ben Shuai." ”

The military order was conveyed, Xie Qian led nearly 10,000 people to continue to clean up the defeated army, and Liu Heizi led the army to quickly turn back and turn around and go in the direction of Xuzhou.

Liu Heizi has already received the news that Ma Shiying's men and horses have gone up the river and have entered Shuanggou, and he must take Xuzhou City before Ma Shiying feels it.

At the head of the city, Wang Jiaping saw that Ma Guanghui's people had not yet arrived at the place where the flames were soaring, and they suddenly encountered countless torches, and immediately shivered, realizing that something was not good, which made him feel a panic.

Obviously, Ma Guanghui was ambushed, and they fell for Liu Heizi's calculations.

This made Wang Jiaping glad that he did not go out of the city, but he also began to panic in his heart, because after Ma Guanghui's more than 10,000 people were finished, he would definitely not be able to hold Xuzhou with only 3,000 people in his hands.

"Military Gate! Look! At this time, the defenders at the head of the city exclaimed.

Wang Jiaping looked up, and saw a large number of torches, looking at Xuzhou in a mighty way, and the defenders in the city suddenly became agitated.

In the wilderness, Liu Heizi rode in front, and the righteous soldiers behind him, holding a torch in one hand and a weapon in the other, were like a moving sea of stars.

The rebels came to the city of Xuzhou in a mighty way, and the soldiers pushed out the equipment from the camp and stopped two miles away from the city.

On the battlefield, there was no sound, only the torches flickered in the wind, and the murderous aura emitted by the rebels pressed overwhelmingly towards the city.

At this time, Liu Heizi brandished the big knife in his hand, galloped back and forth in front of the sea of torches, howled loudly, and finally suddenly grabbed the reins of the horse, and pointed the big knife at the head of the city, which was a roar, "Kill!" ”

"Kill! Rush the duck! Tens of thousands of rebels suddenly roared, and rushed up to the city.

The defenders at the head of the city hurriedly fired arrows and cannons, but their morale was shaken and they could not suppress the morale of the rebels.

Soon, the righteous soldiers were all over the city like ants, one after another climbing ladders were erected, the ladder car hooked the head of the city, and the righteous soldiers climbed up to the city without fear of death.

The two armies began to fight fiercely at the head of the city, soldier to soldier, general to general, the rebel army relied on the large number of people, and soon occupied the advantage, the defenders were hacked to death by the rebels one by one, and the corpses were thrown off the city.

Wang Jiaping was taken aback when he saw this, he saw a siege tower in the distance, which was slowly approaching the city wall, and then the wooden plank on the top of the tower was put down, and the righteous soldiers inside rushed to the city in a steady stream, and instantly shocked his heart and gall, and shouted loudly: "Quickly use the fire pot to block Lao Tzu!" ”

His roar directly attracted the attention of Liu Heizi, who jumped onto the city like Dapeng, and with a wave of his big knife, several defenders were in different places, and then stared at Wang Jiaping with a leopard-like gaze.

Wang Jiaping recognized Liu Heizi, instantly shuddered, exclaimed, turned around and ran, Liu Heizi brandished a machete, brave and abnormal, the war knife slashed left and right, and directly opened a way, cutting down all the defenders in front of him, breaking the limbs, and scattering the colorful intestines on the ground.

The bravery of Marshal Liu shocked the defenders, but the morale of the rebels exploded in an instant, screaming and slashing the defenders.

Wang Jiaping's nearly 100 personal soldiers, seeing that the situation was critical, immediately surrounded this Wang Jiaping and rushed to the city, more than a dozen soldiers blocked the steps of the city, desperately resisting Liu Heizi's onslaught.

Wang Jiaping went down the city, rushed all the way to the south gate, and hurriedly asked the soldiers to open the city gate, put down the drawbridge, and nearly 100 horsemen rushed out of the city gate.

At this time, Wang Jiaping looked back at the city, couldn't help but sigh, and then pulled the reins of his horse violently and led the remnants of the army all the way to the south.

At this time, the east city of Xuzhou was opened by the righteous army, a large number of righteous troops rushed into the city, Liu Heizi chased the defeated soldiers all the way to the south gate, a volunteer army leader hit a horse over, hugged his fists and reported, "Dashuai, Wang Jiaping ran away from the south gate, chase or not?" ”

Liu Heizi waved his hand, "No need! The king has an explanation, let him live a good life, and wait for the destruction of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and then settle accounts with him. ”

After speaking, Liu Heizi glanced at the city, and immediately ordered, "All departments clean up the remnants of the enemy, and then quickly deploy defenses!" ”

As the day dawned, the battle in Xuzhou City had ended, groups of defender prisoners were taken into the city prison, and groups of volunteer soldiers searched the city from house to house, looking for the hidden defeated army, and the rebels were all killed on the spot.

Liu Heizi stood at the east gate of Xuzhou, and the volunteer soldiers were demolishing the camp outside the city, carrying materials into the city, and burning all the siege equipment.

Under the city walls, the rebel soldiers were busy digging up the earth, arranging the horse rejection stakes, and placing the antlers.

At this time, not far from the city, a group of soldiers and horses rushed back, and the soldiers rushed into the city in panic.

Not long after, Yuan Zongdi ran up to the city, came to Liu Heizi's side, and gasped: "The Ming army is here!" They were very well armed, I was no match, and more than 2,000 people were killed. Now that they have arrived at Yunlong Mountain, they will be able to kill Xuzhou in half a day at most! ”
