Fellow practitioners who live in this mortal world with their beauty

"Surrendered? Senior brother, how can he surrender? Junior brother has just loaded the ammunition."

Xuan Lei looked depressed. This idiot general had no backbone at all. Why not surrender after firing two cannons?

"Hunan also has Loudi, Xiangtan, Changsha Prefecture, and Yuezhou Prefecture. The elite Black Flag Army are basically deployed in these four places, and there will always be opportunities to fire."

Xuan Ye was also unhappy, but it was good to be able to win without bloodshed.

Sanbao looked up in the sky and nodded secretly. Xuan Ye was still a benevolent man, he was kind-hearted, and he did not go on a killing spree for his own selfish reasons.

Since the Black Flag Army had troops stationed outside the North City and was ready to respond in the direction of Changsha, the three cavalry did not surround the North Gate, but only attacked the other three directions.

"Brother, the Qing army is coming fiercely. General Ma Bao was killed in battle. We have no general who can fight. What should we do?"

Xia Guoxiang, the defender of Hengyang City, was anxious and asked Wu Sangui's eldest son-in-law Hu Guozhu repeatedly.

Although Xia Guoxiang and Hu Guozhu held the rank of general, they only gained power in the military through nepotism and knew nothing about military matters.

With Wu Sangui's death, the Black Flag Army instantly lost its command. Although Wu Guogui was a member of the Wu Sangui tribe and was in charge of military affairs, the generals were accustomed to life in Yunnan. Without restraint, they lost their fighting spirit and retreated to Changsha and Yuezhou. Wu Shifan He even made a trip to Hengyang, and immediately returned to Guiyang after taking the throne.

"Don't worry, Prime Minister. The Qing army is only besieging three gates. We still have our elite troops at the north gate. If the city gate is lost, I have a plan here."

Hu Guozhu was unlucky in guarding Liu Tong, the real person of Jiutianzi Mansion, and his escape destroyed his connection with the Tubo Dynasty. He also lost his scriptures and was demoted to the supervisor by Wu Sangui.

"Brother, how long have you been showing off? Hurry up and tell us the plan."

Xia Guoxiang looked anxious, his life was at stake!

"Thirty-six strategies, walking is the best strategy. Let's run from the north gate quickly!"

Damn it, what a plan, you deserve to be a big brother!

Xia Guoxiang looked at Hu Guozhu dumbfounded, such a plan is incredible, you can't think of it.

"Prime Minister, the green hills left behind are here. Don't worry about running out of firewood. Let's go to Changsha Mansion to join Wu Yingqi first. In this way, we have an army of hundreds of thousands, so why worry about just six cavalry."

The commander-in-chief of the Yue Changsha front line was Wu Yingqi, who led 70,000 black flag troops to confront the Qing army across the river. Although this man is the heir of Wu Sangui's eldest brother, he is actually Wu Sangui's son.

"Okay! Listen to big brother - run!"

Prime Minister Xia immediately ordered the withdrawal of troops. The black flag troops in the city were like headless flies. After receiving the order, they robbed property along the street, regardless of who was behind them. They had to flee anyway. Who is going to care?

Just as the Black Flag Army stepped out of Hengzhou City in a mess, carrying large and small bags, the three cavalry had already entered the city and quickly assembled towards the north gate.

Hearing the shouts in the city, Tuhai knew that Hengzhou City had been captured, and with a loud shout, he led the third cavalry with Qingyu, Qinglei, and Qingbu to charge out, using the Fire Bullet Talisman and the Fire Snake Talisman to lead the rolling thunder.

At the same time, Zhang Kang and Sunsi, who were ambushing on both sides, also led the first and second cavalry to cover up the enemy. Suddenly, gunpowder smoke spread everywhere and the sound of bombing could not be heard.

"Report! A large number of Qing troops were found ahead."

"Report! A large number of Qing troops were found on the east and west sides."

"Report! A large number of cavalry are chasing us at the city gate."

"Report! The Qing army has completed the siege..."

Hu Guozhu, Xia Guoxiang and others were surrounded in front and pursued by soldiers. At this time, they had become turtles in the urn. The shock of the sky thunder caused the Black Flag Army to panic without fighting and fled one after another.

"Brother, it turns out that the Qing army had an ambush here. What else can we do now?"

Xia Guoxiang is a proper scholar, and Hu Guozhu is from the Black Flag Army after all, so in this situation, who else to ask besides him.

"Prime Minister, now we can only trade the civet cat for the prince. You and I quickly take off our clothes, put on the uniforms of soldiers, and pass by in confusion."

When the two guards heard this, they saw that they were covered in silver helmets and bright armor, and their own clothes were not good enough. They quickly slashed ordinary soldiers with sharp blades and stripped off their clothes.

"The general's bodyguards were ordered to massacre their own people!"

"The general has surrendered and started massacring us!"

"What the hell, I'll kill them first, my brothers will kill the general, and we'll surrender to the Qing army too!"

"Kill! Kill! Surrender! Surrender!"

"Kill! Kill these officials!"

Hu Guozhu did not expect that taking a few clothes of ordinary soldiers would actually cause a mutiny. He quickly ordered his guards to resist. He and Xia Guoxiang hurriedly changed their clothes and hid among the soldiers.

Fortunately, the killing of the sergeant caused a stir, the army was in chaos, and most of the people didn't recognize him. Fortunately, he didn't die in the hands of his own people.

"Brother, what should we do next?"

"Gou! Run to a place with few people. The Prime Minister must not speak. Keep a low profile."

"Brother, throw away your sword first. How can an ordinary soldier have such a luxurious sword?"

Xia Guoxiang picked up a broken knife and looked at Hu Guozhu's sharp sword. He twitched and said, "Be low-key. The gems on your sword's hilt are priceless."

"Yes, yes, how can an ordinary soldier have a sword like this general?"

Hu Guozhu dug out the gems while looking for ordinary weapons.

"boom!"

A thunderbolt fell not far from the two of them, and the huge explosion frightened them. Hu Guozhu warned Xia Guoxiang.

"Prime Minister, don't join in the fun in crowded places. The thunder will explode and the Qing army will not be able to throw it into a place with few people. It will not be able to exert the power of the thunder."

"Oh, what Brother said is true, but if we are captured, we will definitely be identified."

"Of course I know this. You and I just run to the moat. One of Lin Xingzhu's naval forces is stationed in the Xiangjiang River. We will go into the water to escape the suppression for the time being, and then join him to go to Changsha."

Being surrounded on all sides, unless Hu Guozhu could fly like the Qing Dynasty Imperial Master, Hu Guozhu was not a monk, so he naturally did not have that ability. It was impossible to fly by land and air, so he had to take the waterway.

"Brother, it doesn't work, it doesn't work. I'm not used to water, how can I swim?"

Xia Guolian waved his hands. He didn't know how long he had been in the water. If he couldn't hold it in and drowned, he might as well be a prisoner.

"If you look at the reeds by the river, they are empty inside. After entering the water, you can hold them in your mouth and breathe freely. It has nothing to do with the quality of the water."

When Hu Guozhu was young, he came from a poor family and went fishing with the villagers. He saw them all holding a piece of reed pole in their mouths, and only after asking them did he know this truth.

"Brother deserves to have a few more years of rice, and his knowledge is extraordinary. This method is good."

Xia Guoxiang didn't know the depth of the moat, so he didn't care about the reed pipes. He went to the doctor in a hurry because he was ill, and he and Hu Guozhu ducked and came to the moat.

Cut off two reeds, chop off the leaves, put them in your mouth and pinch your nose, and try it. Sure enough, you can breathe freely like a straw.

Soon two moving reeds appeared in the moat, swaying away from the city gate.
