The Huai Army persisted in the city for three days and killed the Qing army in large numbers. It was finally time to retreat. In Yangzhou City, bamboo tubes with fuses were buried under the stone pavement of each main road. After the stone slabs in some places were pried open, gunpowder tanks and turbulent tanks were placed below; gunpowder and turbulent tanks were buried under the floor tiles of each house. There were a large amount of wooden furniture and door and window structures in the room. The Qing army demolished the bricks that sealed the doors and windows outside, and a large fire ignited after a while, just injecting fresh air, which could cause fire in every house.

The Huai Army built the last line of defense on the street near Xu Ningmen. Barriers were piled on the street, and wooden houses near Xu Ningmen were pushed down. The demolished building materials built three-story fortresses, with sandbags piled outside and supported by wooden piles. Each fortress with three-story firing holes could accommodate 150 musketeers. Trenches were dug outside the fortress, and turtledove-footed gunmen were arranged above the fortress. Light Flangers and three-pound field guns were also arranged between the fortress and the fortress. Twelve-pound mortars were arranged behind the fortress, which could attack the Qing army in a bending manner.

This line of defense is the last line of defense used to cover the retreat of the Huai Army, so as to ensure that all the brothers who stayed in the street fighting in the city could escape unscathed.

"Brother, you take people out first, I will stay and cut off the rear." Li Guodong said to Wang Quan and Hao Yaoqi.

"Brother (lord), you go first, let's stay and break the rear!" Wang Quan and Hao Yaoqi both spoke in unison and asked to stay.

"This is an order! You go, if you disobey, I will chop your head! You don't know how to fight such a war! Don't worry, in fact, I don't have to hold on for too long. Li will be able to leave the water gate soon!" said Li Guodong.

"Lord, I will stay. Even if the lord wants to cut off the head of the general, the lord will stay! Lord, you are as kind as a mountain to our rebel army. Hao will accompany his lord to kill Jiannu today!" Hao Yaoqi knelt down and insisted on leaving. He wanted to stay and fight side by side with Li Guodong.

"Brother, I'll stay too!" Wang Quan also knelt down and couldn't get up.

"Good brother, since that's the case, then you stay and pay attention to protecting yourself. I don't want to sacrifice my brother's life in vain before retreating!"

The Qing army launched attacks on the last line of defense in Xu Ningmen again and again, but under the powerful firepower of the Ming army, corpses were left everywhere in front of the trenches.

All the Huai Army in other parts of the city have been evacuated, leaving only one of the personal guards agents responsible for lighting the fire. The agent was named Li Rui. He was originally an orphan. He didn't know his name. After being taken in by Li Guodong, he named him Li Rui. When he grew up, he joined the professional guards agents. Such children raised by orphans are the most loyal to Li Guodong.

At this time, Li Rui changed into a green camp uniform, his hair was shaved on his head, and he left a rat-tail braid like the Qing army. Originally, according to Li Guodong's request, he inserted an extra-long incense into the secret room to use it to ignite the fuse regularly. However, Li Rui felt that this method was unreliable, so he decided to stay and ignite the fire himself.

"Dog Tartar, wait until it gets dark, I will let you taste the taste of barbecue." Li Rui said in his heart.

There was a waist card that was searched for from the body of the Qing soldiers. The waist card read a soldier from Zuo Menggeng's army named Liu Laoliu. Liu Laoliu's superior general officer and the officer Qianzong officer have all been killed. The general Lu Guangzu, who led the troops, was also hit by a gun and was seriously injured. Now Li Rui has brought Liu Laoliu's waist card with him and hid in a room. When he met the Green Camp soldier who was searching in the house, no one cared about him.

After a while, Li Rui also walked out with his skin on his body, walked onto the streets with a swagger, and followed the Qing army into the room and searched in a pretentious manner.

By Xu Ningmen, the retreating Huai Army left the city in an orderly manner and boarded a transport ship moored by the canal in turn.

"Brother, are you all gone? It's our turn when you leave." Wang Quan asked.

Li Guodong said: "As long as we don't leave, it's okay to stick to it until dark! Hold on for a while, and hold on until dark, and let our brothers retreat!"

While talking, the Qing army launched another crazy attack.

"Let me go!" Wang Quan shouted.

The three-pound cannon spit out its flames, and the shells pierced into the street. The Qing soldiers in front of them screamed and fell down. The shells fell on the hard bluestone floor, jumped up, collided around in the crowd, and pulled out flesh and blood alleys in a crooked manner.

"Boom boom" the mortar cannon made a deafening roar, and the shells rose into the air and landed in the Qing army crowd and exploded.

The Qing army approached, and the three-pound cannon had been replaced with shotguns. They spit out flames at the incoming Qing army. The dense bullets were scattered into the Qing army, causing a bloody storm. Then the turtledove-legged guns on the fortress spit out flames one after another. The crossbowmen hiding behind the fortress also hooked up their hanging knives, and a row of crossbow arrows flew into the sky and shot into the Qing army.

The Green Camp Army rushed up at all costs. When it was approaching within fifty steps, the fortress shooting holes spit out flames, and the bird gunners took turns to shoot, killing the Green Camp soldiers fell one after another in front of the trench.

Someone screamed and turned around and ran away, but was cut off by the Han Eight Banners soldiers who were supervising the battle behind.

The Qing army rushed forward one after another and rushed up desperately. When the Qing soldiers rushed to the trench, they could not rush over and could only jump into the trench with water. However, when the Qing soldiers in front jumped down, they were tied into human candied haws by the wooden stakes hidden under the sewage.

The Green Camp soldiers brought the trench bridge and tried to build the trench bridge on the trench, but just after it was set up, the trench bridge was broken by artillery.

The bodies in the trench were piled up higher and higher. Not long after, the bodies filled a section of the trench. Qing soldiers from the Green Camp stepped on the bodies of their companions and rushed through the trench.

"Iron armored soldiers, come out!" Li Guodong roared.

Hao Yaoqi personally led two hundred iron-armored soldiers to block the gap between the fortress and the fortress.

The iron-armored soldiers were extremely powerful. In hand-to-hand combat, there was no Qing army on the opposite side that could be blocked by the Qing army. The bird gunners who threatened the iron-armored soldiers were shot by the Huai Army's scattered soldiers at the first time and could not get close to the iron-armored soldiers at all.

The Huai Army once again repelled the Qing army's crazy attack. At this time, news came from outside the city gate: "Brothers have all boarded the ship. Grandmaster, when will you leave?"

"Don't worry, hold on until dark, and kill more Jiannu!" Li Guodong said.

The Qing army launched round after round of attacks, and each round of attack was repelled, leaving behind corpses everywhere.

The sky gradually darkened. When the Huai Army repelled another round of attacks by the Qing army, Li Guodong ordered: "We can leave now! The gunners took cannons first, the turtledove-legged gun and the light Folang maneuver then left, and the bird gunners followed closely, and the scattered soldiers, crossbowmen and iron armored soldiers finally walked together."

Just as the Huai Army withdrew its troops, the Qing army launched another crazy attack.

Field cannons and mortar cannons have been withdrawn, and turtledog-foot guns and light-weight Folang aircraft are also retreating, but the bird gunners and crossbowmen who remained behind still caused major casualties to the Qing army. When the Qing army approached the trench, the iron-armored soldiers threw rounds of grenades, causing the Qing army to cry and howl.

"Let's go!" Seeing that the Qing army was repelled in this round of attack, Li Guodong gave an order.

The bird gunner, crossbowman and iron armored soldiers walked out of Xu Ningmen in an orderly manner and boarded the ship parked by the river. When the Qing army rushed to the river, the ship Li Guodong and his friends had already left the shore. What welcoming the Qing army was the fierce artillery fire of the navy.

It was finally dark, and my adoptive father and others also withdrew. When Jiannu set fire to cook, I could set the fire. Li Rui said in his heart.

There are mountainous corpses everywhere in Yangzhou City, but unlike the original time and space, these are the corpses of the Qing army in the Green Camp and some of the Eight Banners soldiers.
