Ma Liuliang, who was in a hurry to advance to Nanning, also encountered foggy weather, and it was not dispersed all day long, they were less than thirty miles away from the city of Nanning, but after walking for a day, they did not see the shadow of the city, and then they found that they were lost.

The angry Ma Liuliang brought a few toasts, pointed at their noses and scolded: "What are you doing to eat, let you lead the way, but I didn't find the shadow of Xuanhua City for a day, and said, what kind of place is this, I can't tell, Lao Tzu cut you all down." ”

Sichengzhou Tusi replied with a sad face: "Master Hou, I told you at the beginning, you can't march in this weather, and you can't even see the scenery three steps away, so it's okay to say in our own territory, when we get to this side, we are similar to you." ”

"You still dare to talk back, Lao Tzu, who pulled me sour Xiucai, why are you doing? Didn't you see Ben Hou doing business?."

Tang Yue dragged him aside before he persuaded softly: "Master Hou, if you have the intention to kill them, you have to find a reason to convince the public, and now is not the time." ”

"Sour Xiucai, don't be smart, who said I deliberately found an excuse to kill them."

"Okay, okay, people did tell you at the beginning, this kind of weather, it's hard to keep you from getting lost, it's you yourself who said that the fog just provided us with cover, and now you're really lost, you can't use this reason to kill people."

"Ben Hou is just angry, you are in a hurry!"

Tang Yue glanced at him disappreciably and said, "What's the use of losing your temper now, let's hurry up and find a direction." ”

"Sour Xiucai, haven't you always had the best way? You say, what should I do? ”

Tang Yue was frowning and trying to find a way, when he suddenly heard a faint sound of firecrackers in the distance, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and was about to speak, Ma Liuliang had already flown back and shouted: "Did you hear the firecrackers, did you hear the firecrackers?" ”

Several toasts replied, "I heard it." ”

"So what are you waiting for. Hurry up and send someone to look in the direction where the firecrackers came from, there must be someone's house, don't go quickly! ”

"Yes, yes, Master Hou."

On this New Year's Day, it is normal for people to set off firecrackers, and the sound comes from the left rear.

A few natives sent to reconnoiter relied on their usual efforts to climb mountains and mountains, drilled through a large area of woods, walked two miles, the woods became sparse, and first saw a river. After walking two or three miles along the river, you can faintly see a city wall by the river.

This scene surprised several landmen, and they hurriedly sent two to report back.

The remaining two rode along the base of the city wall for a while in the fog, and then they saw a city gate with three big characters on the city gate: Eight Feet Village.

Bachizhai is a fortress in the east of Nanning Mansion, forty or fifty miles away from the city, but because it is the gateway to the east of the city, the Ming Dynasty has a patrol department here.

Ma Liuliang got lost in the fog and found the eight-foot village.

Ma Liuliang, who received the report, was surprised and delighted. I was surprised that it deviated so far from Nanning Mansion, if it weren't for the people in the village to set off firecrackers, they would even miss the eight-foot village. Happily, I finally found the reference coordinates.

The eight-foot village is not because the walled fort is only eight feet large. It is named because it is located on the bank of the Eight Feet River.

This day is the beginning of spring in the 24 solar terms. According to local customs, the people in the eight-foot village are paraded along the street by the young man in the village carrying the human-faced bird-like god Jumang, and at the same time worship Tai Sui. Tai Sui is the god of the year, sitting in the year. The supervisor was to blame for the rest of the year, so the people also sacrificed to him.

In the eight-foot cold, people gather in the middle of the road to watch, and compete for grains. Taipan preached, beat drums to drive away the epidemic, and the statues of Jumang God and Tai Sui with human faces and bird bodies were already a little scary, and the sacrifices in this foggy day were even more ghostly.

Ma Liuliang gave an order, the army died down, rode the fog to touch the eight-foot village, saw the door of the village opened, the fog in the village was not as heavy as outside, but saw the street people stirred, from time to time there were firecrackers sounding, plus beating gongs and drums, so lively.

Seeing this situation, Wu Xiaoliu looked around and asked while swallowing his saliva: "General, what are we waiting for?" ”

Ma Liuliang ignored him and said to the deputy general He Jinan: "Lao He, you take someone to bypass first and block the gates of the castle, quickly." ”

He Jinan received the order and immediately led people to rush along the root of the city.

Although the fog inside the city has lightened a lot, it is impossible to see the situation outside the city from a distance, and everyone marches along the streets to carry out the annual ritual worship to the gods. Suddenly, I heard a burst of drums outside the city gate, and I was very surprised, and I thought that where did the people come to participate in the sacrifice to the gods;

It wasn't until they saw that they were fully armed that they realized that something was wrong, and in an instant, the people of the city screamed, gongs and drums fled, and fled in all directions.

The young man who lifted the statue of Jumang was no exception, the wooden shoulder on his shoulder was thrown and fled, and the tall statue of Jumang was thrown to the ground, snap! With a loud bang, the idol was broken in two, and the human face returned to the human face, and the bird's body returned to the bird's body.

The statue of Tai Sui is even more miserable, it is completely clay sculpture, and it was thrown by the young people, and it was broken into mud and scattered all over the ground.

People shouted as they fled: "Run, the bandits have entered the village!" The bandits have entered the village."

Fortunately, the people in the village are talking nonsense, and Ma Liuliang can't understand it, otherwise he knows that his dignified Jiandehou is regarded as a bandit, and it is strange not to be angry and crooked his nose, although he did do this business for a while

"Stop! Hold it! What to run? Ben Hou is not too old"

"Master Hou, they are not afraid of Tai Sui, they are afraid of you."

"Damn Wu Xiaoliu, what kind of bullshit are you putting on, go to the inspection department, don't let that bullshit inspection run away."

"Master Hou, don't worry, General He is carrying around outside, don't even think about running."

Bachizhai is smaller than the ordinary county seat, and the deputy general He Jinan is responsible for guarding the city gates outside.

After taking Bachi Village, Ma Liuliang also figured out the direction of the path, and learned that it was not far from Xuanhua City, Nanning Prefecture, and the road to Xuanhua City was easy to distinguish, and it would not be wrong to walk along the north bank of the Bachi River.

Ma Liuliang ordered the army to rest for two hours, and when it came to the second watch, he escorted Bachizhai to inspect Luwang and dozens of Ming troops, let them lead the way, and kill Xuanhua City overnight.

At the fourth watch, the army slaughtered to Qingxiu Mountain in the east of Xuanhua City.

Qingxiu Mountain is located in the southeast of the city of Fucheng ten miles, majestic and beautiful, suddenly rises in the reckless firmament, gallops to the clouds, obstructs the mouth of the water, arches the Wangxian, the mountains of the White Tower, the mountains come to the court, the momentum is like the star arch, the Yongjiang River under the mountain is entangled, from the west of the mountain, you can see the lights in the Xuanhua City.

The Qin army had only come from the east, which obviously made Xuanhua Chengwan unexpected, and he was not aware of it at this time.

Ma Liuliang let the army ambush on the west side of Qingxiu Mountain, and then took hundreds of soldiers to disguise themselves as Ming soldiers, and escorted Bachizhai to inspect Lu Wang and others to deceive the city.

Wei Zhong, the guard of the East Gate, and Lu Wang were old acquaintances, and Lu Wang was held by Ma Liuliang with a dagger, so he had to lie to his old friend that behind him were the soldiers and horses from Guixian County who came to reinforce Nanning Prefecture.

"Brother Wei, open the door quickly, Guixian Jiang's commander sent troops to come to reinforcements day and night, brothers are tired and hungry, open the door quickly!"

Lu Wang urged loudly, and Ma Liuliang and they also kept clamoring: "We have worked hard to come to reinforcements, and if we don't open the city gate, Lao Tzu can turn around and go back." ”

"That's it, that's it, I'm tired, open the city gates, let us go in and have a hot mouth."

"Damn, this is the New Year, and I came all the way to reinforce it, but I also met a closed door"

The prefect of Nanning sent people to ask for help in the city, and the city was looking forward to reinforcements just like the hope of a long drought, Wei Zhong did not doubt it, and quickly ordered someone to open the east gate and put down the drawbridge.

Ma Liuliang took the opportunity to rush in, and the defenders could not figure out what was going on, the east gate was occupied, the city was lit on fire, and the follow-up army that was lurking in the periphery rushed wildly.

At this time, the genius was bright, most of the people in the city were still asleep, Li Jing, the prefect of Nanning, was woken up by the family, and got up in a panic, but before he left the room, Ma Liuliang rushed in with someone and blocked the door.

"You" Li Jing was so shocked that his whole body trembled, a woman's scream came from the room, Ma Liuliang spewed hot air in his mouth, carried a big knife on his shoulder, pushed Li Jing away, and walked into the room.

On the bed, Li Jing's beautiful concubine shrank in the corner of the bed in fright, covered with a quilt on her body, her face was discolored, Ma Liuliang smiled hesitantly: "The prefect is not shallow, this girl is good, not bad"

"What do you want to do? You guys"

"Lao Tzu braved the wind and snow to drive all night, can't he borrow the prefect's concubine to warm up? Hey, the prefect is still reluctant."

"Ahh Willingly"
