The Qing army, who had fought fiercely for a day, had completely occupied Yangzhou City. The Qing soldiers opened the bricks that blocked the doors and windows to restore the house to its original state. Some Qing soldiers broke into the gardens where the salt merchants and wealthy families in Yangzhou were originally living, searching through boxes and cabinets, trying to find some valuable things that were left behind. "I fought for almost two months, but I got such an empty city and I didn't get anything." Liu Liangzuo was about to cry.

In this battle, Liu Liangzuo was not worth the money. He lost so many people in vain. He didn't grab the money, didn't grab a piece of food, and didn't grab the woman, so he got an empty city.

However, Liu Liangzuo was quite satisfied with the cinema where he lives now. Now this garden has belonged to him. Although Duoduo is the prince, the prince will have to return to the capital sooner or later. It is impossible for him to stay in the south to compete with him for this garden.

"Let your brothers make a fire and cook, and you've been fighting all day long." Liu Liangzuo said.

Outside Yangzhou City, in the Qing army's camp, Duoduo sat in the camp in a complicated mood, looking around the tent of the generals of the Manchu, Mongolian and Han dynasties: "Everyone, in the battle of Yangzhou, our army won, but it was a miserable victory. Our army suffered heavy losses, and it was a miserable victory like a defeat."

"Why do you have to say such a disheartening thing?" Boluo said, "Win means victory. Li Laoer cannot defend Yangzhou. Our army occupied the two Huaihe Rivers and conquered Nanjing is just around the corner!"

"Yes, defending the river must defend the Huai River. Now Minggou has lost both Huai Rivers. Even if our army wins, we can cross the river and go south and conquer Nanjing together!" Kong Youdedao.

Duoduo sighed: "The two Huaihe Rivers are not all in the hands of our army. With Li Laoer's Tawau Castle, the Huai'an area cannot enter at all. If we can get the line of the canal, our army can collect enough ships and warships. Unfortunately, the water of Gaoyou Lake hangs high above our army's heads, and the Huai'an area has become a thunder pool. Even if there are thousands of troops, no one dares to step in."

"Prince, our army can forcefully pull out Li Laoer's castle! Rely on people to pile up! Anyway, there are many refugees in the north, so we will catch more refugees to attack the castle. It doesn't matter how many people die. The servants don't believe that there are too many ammunitions in Li Laoer's castle." Kong Youde offered a suggestion.

Li Lutai quickly echoed: "Yes, Prince Gongshun said that anyway, there are so many Hangou Nikan. If 500,000 people are not enough to fill in, then one million people are filled in! If not enough, is two million people filled in enough? You can pile up castles with corpses."

"Why do you need two million people? There are seven or eight hundred thousand dogs that can pile up, and the bodies can pile up on the top of the city." Boluo said.

The Qing army invaded Yangzhou, which was a tragic victory for Duoduo, and finally won Yangzhou. However, Duoduo had no idea what kind of military tactics Li Guodong used.

In fact, Li Guodong is best at military arts, neither "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" nor "The Art of War of Sun Tzu", but the military art of Taizu of the Red Dynasty: when the land is left and the people are lost, the people are lost; when the land is left and the people are lost, the people are left and the people are left. When necessary, he will decisively sacrifice his territory, preserve the living power, and eliminate the enemy's living power. Use space for time, break the whole into zero and turn it into zero, and all kinds of tactics cooperate with each other, focusing on eliminating the enemy's living power.

The tactic that mainly eliminates the living forces was the biggest blow to the Qing army. Originally, the population of the Eight Banners of Manchuria was small, and Li Guodong, a tactic that did not care about the gains and losses of a city and a place, and focused on annihilation of the enemy's living forces, fought a few more battles, and the men of the Eight Banners of Manchuria would be almost extinct.

Although Li Guodong could clearly defend Yangzhou, he deliberately gave up Yangzhou, led the Qing army into the trap, and lit a fire, which could wipe out the Qing army's vitality. Although Yangzhou was burned into ruins by a fire, the city could be rebuilt. When Duoduo's Qing army was wiped out, the Qing Dynasty would no longer have the power to unify the world, forming a confrontation between the north and the south. If Ajige was accidentally eliminated, the Qing Dynasty would even have the problem of self-protection.

In the city, the Qing army in the Green Camp began to cook.

Li Rui also started to move. He got into the mezzanine room of a house, lit the fuse, and then quickly left. Taking advantage of the cover of night, he ran towards Xuning Gate in the east of the city.

The fuse was shortened into the bamboo tube, and it was burned in the bamboo tube buried underground, and it burned to the underground fork located in the center of Yangzhou City. More than a dozen fuses extending in all directions were lit. These fuses were burned in the bamboo tube, and near each place where the gunpowder tank was buried, another fuse was forked and connected to the gunpowder tank.

Li Rui had already run to Xu Ning Gate, and the Qing army was guarding at the door.

"Who?" The Qing soldiers guarding the door stopped him.

"Owner."

"Bad, I don't know if it's my own? Which general is under your command?"

"Under Lu Junmen's command, Liu Laoliu." Li Rui said as he suddenly approached the Qing soldiers. A short knife suddenly appeared in his hand, piercing the Qing soldiers' hearts.

Another Qing soldier next to him was cut through his throat by Li Rui before he could react.

In a blink of an eye, the two Qing soldiers turned into corpses struggling in pools of blood.

The city gate was closed. Li Rui quickly climbed up to the city gate tower, aimed the short sword in his hand at the sleepy Qing soldiers, and stabbed them again and again. In less than a minute, more than ten Qing soldiers guarding the city at the top of the city were all killed in their sleep.

Li Rui took out the rope, slid down from the top of the city, landed on the ground, then took out a firework rocket from his arms and aimed it in the air and fired it out.

"Bang" the fireworks rocket exploded in the air.

At the same time, a deafening explosion suddenly sounded in Yangzhou City, followed by a continuous explosion sound, and exploded everywhere. Houses ignited raging fires. Under the stone roads on the street, scarlet tongues of flames were spewed out everywhere. The explosion of the gunpowder tank shattered the tinder tank, and fires were caught everywhere in the city. The combustible substances in the houses were ignited, and the wind helped the fire, and soon the whole city burned into a sea of ​​fire.

"It's gone! It's gone!" The Qing soldiers in the city shouted in horror.

In the Qing army camp outside the city, Duoduo heard the explosion and hurried out of the central army's tent and walked to the gate of the camp. He saw fires in Yangzhou City not far away soaring into the sky, and the whole sky was dyed red.

"It's over! The 300,000 troops entering the city are probably in danger! I don't know how many people can escape." Duoduo said heartbrokenly. He cursed in his heart: I'm thinking about waterproof attack all day long, but who knows that the defense is coming and going, the dog thief Li Lao Er actually used fire attack!

Liu Liangzuo, who moved into the theater, heard the noise outside and hurriedly walked out of the house and saw the fires surrounding him soaring into the sky. The entire Yangzhou City had fallen into a sea of ​​fire.

"Get out of the city quickly!" Liu Liangzuo shouted.

The Qing soldiers in the city were burned to the point of being furious and ran around in a panic. However, they escaped from the fire house and saw that the street had been burned into a fire dragon and could not rush to the city gate. Someone tried to rush out, but was forced back by the fire.

"Hurry, run southeast, now it's northwest wind, and the fire is burning from the northwest direction." Liu Liangzuo shouted.

The Qing army fled southeastward, ran to the city gate, opened the city gate and rushed out.

"Kill!" Seeing the Qing soldiers rushing out of the city, the Huai army lying outside the city immediately came out, killing the Qing army who escaped from the city in panic.

Liu Liangzuo met Wang Fuchen, but was recognized by Wang Fuchen.

"Huama Liu, where can I run!" Wang Fuchen roared and rushed up.

Liu Liangzuo quickly turned around and wanted to escape, but Wang Fuchen caught up and stabbed Liu Liangzuo on the horse with a halberd.

Some Qing soldiers who lived near the West Gate rushed out of the city gates of Tongsi Gate and other west Gate and ran desperately towards the Duoduo Camp. These Qing soldiers had no idea about it, and some elite Huai Army soldiers wearing Qing army robes were mixed in between them.

"Kill!" The Huai Army's light cavalry came out from somewhere, followed the Qing army, and pursued slowly.
