Chapter 223
After Liu Liangzuo learned that Gao Yihuan and Liu Heizi were attacking Shouzhou, he sent people to inform Ma Shiying, Huang Degong and others to send them reinforcements, and at the same time gathered his troops, about [-] people, and retreated to Shouzhou.

While he was intensively deploying his defenses, Gao Yihuan and Liu Heizi's troops were advancing like a broken bamboo all the way, and the army was approaching Shouzhou.

This time, in order to eat Shouzhou, Gao Yihuan brought six thousand elite soldiers, most of whom had followed him to Shandong and fought against the Tartars.

Liu Heizi now has 6000 troops, and he left [-] people to garrison Yongcheng and Shangqiu to guard against the Xuzhou government army, so he led more than [-] people and marched southward.

There are a total of 10 soldiers, [-] civilian husbands, and nearly [-] people from the two groups. They falsely claim that there are [-] horse-buying troops, and they are advancing towards Shouzhou with a lot of noise.

Gao Yihuan posted bulletins along the way, stating that the reason for the attack on Shouzhou this time was that Liu Liangzuo colluded with the Tartars outside the pass to deliver food, iron, cloth and other supplies to the Tartars. Anyone who dares to help Liu Liangzuo is the enemy of the world, Gao After finishing cleaning up Liu Liangzuo, he turned to trouble him.

In short, first put a hat on, and by the way, express his political stance against the Tartars in advance, and then tell Liu Heizi not to touch Mengcheng and Huaiyuan, so as not to make Fengyang Ma Shiying nervous.

At the end of November, Gao Yihuan captured Yingshang County along the Yingshui River. He left a soldier at the confluence of the Yingshui River and the Huaihe River to monitor the enemies of Huoqiu and Lu'an. The enemies of Lu'an and Luzhou did not dare to go north easily, and then led a large army down the Huai River to the north of Shou County, where the Huai River meets Dongfei River.

After Liu Heizi went down to Bozhou and Guoyang counties, he left 1000 men and horses to monitor Mengcheng. Then the army marched west to Xifeishui, then went down the Henan Province, and joined forces with Gao Yihuan in the northern suburb of Shouzhou.

When Gao Liu's allied forces joined forces, Liu Liangzuo in Shouzhou City was busy preparing for the defense of the city.

On this day at the top of the city, Qing Zhuang and his soldiers were busy carrying rolling stones and trees, when there was a thunderous noise outside the city.

The busy defenders and young men couldn't help standing up straight and looking north, all of them were immediately stunned by the scene in front of them.

A few miles away, yellow dust suddenly rolled up all over the sky, like a yellow cloud, countless war horses galloped in the cloud, with banners unfurled, with a murderous aura.

Behind the yellow dust, there was a large group of figures marching mightily against the Dongfei water.

The guards on the city rushed to the other side of the city wall and shouted into the city: "There is an enemy situation!"

Not long after, Liu Liangzuo led the generals to the top of the city. Looking from the city, he found that the bandit army was overwhelming, probably more than [-]. They became restless.

Immediately, someone exclaimed, "There are so many high-ranking bandits?"

Liu Liangzuo ignored them, but took out a pair of binoculars with a sullen face, took a look in front of him, and saw thousands of cavalry in front, most of them were wearing black cotton armor, iron helmets on their heads, and lances in their hands. With the horses undulating, like a torrent, it rushed towards the city.

Liu Liangzuo was startled, he knew that Gao Yihuan had robbed a lot of horses, but he didn't expect him to pull out a horse army so quickly.

He continued to observe, and there were also soldiers in armor behind him, and infantry in black armor and iron helmets walked in front, with dazzling swords and guns, and behind them were soldiers in red armor and turbans, with flags like clouds.

At this time, no matter which team it is, those who can penetrate armor are the elite.

From this point of view, the two thieves, Gao and Liu, already had more than ten thousand armored soldiers. The corners of Liu Liangzuo's eyes couldn't help twitching.

The front is full of elites, but the back must be some shams!

But at this moment, he saw another thing that he absolutely didn't want to see. The men and horses at the back did not look like elite soldiers, but among them, there were large carts covered with tarpaulins.

"Hongyi Cannon?" Liu Liangzuo asked in surprise, quickly picked up the binoculars, and looked at it again. When he was sure, he was already quite disturbed.

He didn't expect Gao Yihuan to be so strong. For a moment, Liu Liangzuo couldn't help but feel a little regretful, maybe he shouldn't provoke this evil star.

"Zehan, has the person you sent out to ask for help come back?" Liu Liangzuo was a little impatient.

"Father, there is no news!"

"Send another team out, hurry up!"

At this time, when Liu Liangzuo urged to ask, Gao Yihuan had already led a small group of cavalry, broke away from the brigade, entered the city, and peeped at the Shouzhou city defense.

Shouzhou, which is today's Huainan, was established in the Sui Dynasty. It is a major military town in the past dynasties. It has a prosperous economy and developed transportation in history.

Gao Yihuan was wearing iron armor, a treasured knife hanging on his waist, a phoenix-wing iron helmet on his head, a black cloak, and two bows hanging on his saddle pretendingly. Together with Liu Heizi, he led nearly a hundred cavalry to the outside of Shouzhou City. Stop two miles away and overlook this important military town.

Why is Shouzhou important?

Because it is just south of the Huaihe River, it is a barrier for Hefei. If you occupy this place in the southeast, you can resist the enemy from the north of the Huaihe River.

Although Shouzhou is only a county, its military status is as important as Sizhou and Huai'an on the Huaihe River.

It is precisely because of this that Ma Shiying let Liu Liangzuo station his troops here.

Gao Yihuan rode on the horse and saw that the city was three feet high, surrounded by a moat, and the city wall had a urn and a horse face. !"

Gao Yihuan originally planned to provoke Liu Liangzuo and lead him to fight, and then killed Liu Liangzuo in a battle in the wilderness, but he didn't expect this guy to shrink back into the city.

Liu Heizi also looked at the city, smashed it, said, "Brother Gao, I'm afraid this city is not easy to fight!"

Gao Yi laughed happily, "Battle first! I am determined to win this time. Even if Shouzhou is impregnable, I will smash it to the ground and let the world know the prestige of our brothers!"

In addition to eliminating the hidden danger of Liu Liangzuo this time, it is also to show strength to the Ming Dynasty, so that when they unite to fight against the Qing Dynasty, they can be sold at a good price.

In Wuhu, in Huang Degong's festival hall, a soldier knelt on the ground on one knee, clasped his fists and reported: "Report to Uncle Jingnan, the two thieves, Gao and Liu, have joined forces to attack Shouzhou. My commander-in-chief implores Uncle Jingnan to be with you It’s all for the sake of the Ming Dynasty’s officers and soldiers, send troops to rescue, and help my family’s commander!”

Huang Degong frowned slightly, and pondered: "Gao Yihuan?"

Huang Fei hurriedly whispered a few words to Huang Degong, Huang Degong raised his brows, looked at the soldiers in the hall, and suddenly waved: "I know about this, you should step back first!"

In Fengyang Mansion, Ma Shiying hurried back and forth in the study, his face was a little frightened, this world is really unsafe, and it is almost the Chinese New Year, Liu Liangzuo, a troublemaker, actually gave him such a terrible trouble...
