The official road outside the west city of Gaoyao leads to the two counties of Yangchun and Guangning, but except for the six or seven-mile long stone road near the county seat, the rest of the sections are mostly stone roads built according to the situation. Some sections have been in disrepair for many years. In addition, the torrential rain and mudslides had already become muddy. It is better for people to walk, but if the carriage and horses pass, it will take a long time to push.

Although Qin Ming, the magistrate of Gaoyao County, was incompetent, he really wanted to do something for the people after he took office. After investigating this road, he wanted to ask the government to allocate some money, and then cooperate with Yangchun and other counties to repair it, so as to avoid this connection. The official roads of several counties in the two prefectures were abandoned. Of course, the county magistrate did not do this entirely out of the good will and determination to benefit the people, but most of it was to set up a card to collect taxes on this road. The businessmen are very shrewd, the road is not easy to walk, how can they come?

However, in the past few years, there have been continuous wars in Guangdong, and the Qing court's rule in Guangdong is not strong. From top to bottom, the war is the most important thing. Naturally, local matters are not taken seriously. Obviously, it is impossible to repair this road with a total length of nearly a hundred miles with the strength of a county.

That's it, Qin Ming has been in the county for almost three years, but the road is still the same as three years ago, even worse than three years ago. The reason is that some people in the city often steal the road when building their own houses. Slate, as a result, you stole it from me, and the originally intact slate road has become a hole in the east and a patch in the west, and people can stumble on it if they are not careful.

However, this stone road full of pits is the only way of escape for the Qing army in the city. They have no other choice. Either risk their lives and rush out, run as far as they can, or wait until the Ming army blocks Shangchengmen died obediently. No one wants to die. Both officers and soldiers want to live. If they want to live, they can only grit their teeth and rush forward.

There used to be a lot of houses outside Ximen, and it used to be a market, but four years ago, when the Qing army massacred the city in Gaoyao, the people outside the city were not spared. People who were killed did not count, and another fire smashed the east and west outside the city. All the houses were burnt to the ground, and the city was in ruins. Weeds grew on the broken walls, and some unknown grasses grew taller than people.

After escaping from the city, the Qing soldiers had no other direction to run, so they could only follow the stone road all the way to the west, because the south of the road was a dense forest that stretched for dozens of miles, and the forest grew along the hills. , If you are not familiar with the terrain, you will get lost 99% of the time if you get into it. In addition, except for the outer part of the forest, which was cut down a little thinly, the trees inside were still intact, and the tribulus was not easy to walk.

To the north, there is a farmland, it is already April, the year is good this year, and the wheat in the field is full of green. It is possible to escape in the wheat field, and it can also make people run fast. The problem is that the horse cannot walk, because the ditches in the field are vertical and horizontal, and if the horse walks carelessly, it can stumble and fall.

The north and the south are dead ends for Xiang Guoqing and his personal soldiers on horseback, and the only way to survive is the stone road.

"Run!"

The Qing soldiers, without exception, chose to run westward. This road was their only way to survive. As for where to run after rushing out, and how many they could escape, it all depended on each person's personalization.

The Ming army came fast, almost as soon as the horse was just out of the city gate cave on the National Day, a few of the fastest running Ming army had already killed by the side.

"It's a Tartar official, brothers, catch him!"

The few Ming soldiers saw the official uniform on Xiang Guoqing at a glance, and they believed that this person was a big man in the Qing army, so they rushed over and tried to stop Xiang Guoqing. However, Xiang Guoqing's kung fu was amazing. He rushed through them in a flash, and even brought down a Ming soldier with the knife in his hand.

After the vertical horse rushed out, he couldn't even take a breath, so he hit the horse and continued to rush forward on the National Day. The personal soldiers behind also followed, and seeing the Ming army surrounded again, a personal soldier was eager to protect the master, waved a knife to defend the Ming army, and shouted loudly: "Sir, run quickly, I will block them!"

Good minion!

Xiang Guoqing, who claimed to be a bannerman, subconsciously shouted, and beat his mount with the whip. Behind him, more and more Ming troops blocked up. Although they failed to stop Xiang Guoqing, they blocked the gate of the city.

The rabbit was in a hurry to bite, the Ming army blocking the road in front, and the Ming army chasing at the back. Seeing that there was no way to survive, if there was a flag soldier, he gave up the idea of ​​running away, and shouted at the panicked companions around him: "Run horizontally and vertically. No, it's better to fight with Nanmanzi!" (Author's Note: Northerners call Southerners Man, Southerners call Northerners Ka)

"Brothers, fight with the thieves!"

Hearing this, more than a dozen flag soldiers suddenly stopped and rushed towards the Ming army beside them with red eyes. Under their leadership, some battalions of the Ming army, who were also fierce, fought together.

The thieves and barbarians want to kill them all, and I will fight with you to die! Even if you die, you will be pulled on your back!

..........

In the end, the Qing army, who was trapped and still fighting, did not create a miracle. The number of Taiping troops besieged before and after was several times their number, and their morale was even higher. doomed.

However, these beastly trapped Qing troops still caused some casualties to the Taiping army, especially the fire guns in the hands of the flag soldiers were afraid of the Taiping army at close range. There were still sporadic Qing troops resisting in the city, and the main battle was over. Most of the flag soldiers and battalion soldiers who are fierce and not afraid of death have already died in battle, and the rest can only choose to surrender in a desperate situation~www.NovelMTL.com~ The green battalion general Wu Er was hit by the Taiping army on the way to Dongcheng He was straight, and he was not able to swing a knife and fight the Taiping army desperately. He was struck by a lightning bolt. Although he was not killed on the spot, he lost an arm and could not stop the bleeding. He was not far from death.

Li Fuguo's luck was much better than Wu Er's. After leading his personal soldiers and the battalion soldiers gathered around him to desperately flee to Ximen, he found that Ximen had been captured by the Ming army and the flag soldiers had been annihilated, so he chose to kneel and surrender.

Li Fuguo really surrendered, not like Xinxing calling Zhao Shiyu, the general manager. Even if he really did anyway, the result might be the same as Zhao Shiyu—the head was hung at the entrance of Xinxing Town, which was empty.

Running to the National Day, Zhou Shixiang did not blame Ge Zheng and the others, because they had done their best. In order to seize the west gate ahead of the Qing army, Ge Zheng and the others almost ran all the way in a big circle outside the city, and they were able to block most of the Qing army in the city when everyone was exhausted and gasping for breath. , they have done a great job.

After completely controlling the situation in the city, Zhou Shixiang ordered to count the number of prisoners, separate the Green Camp and the Han army flag, and bring the officers from the two groups. What are they doing in Gaoyao City? Besides them, are there any other Qing soldiers and horses near Gaoyao, and whether there are Han army flags among them.
