Fire the blunderbuss!" Zhou Wenshan shouted, "Thieves, beat them to death!"

A group of brave musketeers immediately rushed forward, raising their blunderbuss.

Not long after, the sound of gunfire was heard in the Hecao Governor's Yamen.

Now something bad happened, the huge banging sound could be heard throughout the West City.

But having said that, even if Xiang Yong didn't let go, the secret couldn't be hidden.

Because there was also a mistake on the west gate, the Jiannu guarding the west gate had also been drugged by Xiang Yong.

Almost at the same time that Duduo and the others heard the sound of gunshots coming from the direction of the Governor's Yamen, a slave guarding the city tower also lost his legs and rolled down the stairs.

The Maoxiang was still too tender, and the timing of the treatment was not right, so the effect of the medicine took effect prematurely.

Seeing this, Maoxiang didn't hesitate anymore and pulled out the dagger from his left elbow protector with his backhand, then jumped from the horse and rushed towards Duduo.

This became so hasty that even the experienced warriors Tunqi, He Luohui and other Eight Banners nobles did not react. Duduo was directly tackled by Maoxiang and fell to the ground.

Maoxiang threw Duduo down and stabbed him hard with the dagger in his hand.

Duduo roared angrily and subconsciously stretched out his hand to block it. The sharp dagger instantly pierced his left hand.

The palm of his hand was pierced, and the heartbreaking pain hit him violently. Dodo screamed like a pig, ugh!

Duduo's heart-rending scream finally woke up Tun Qi, He Luohui and other Eight Banners nobles, but the ones who responded fastest were Hou Fangyu and Fan Chengmo who were closest.

I saw two dog slaves rushing over, one from the left and the other from the right, and hugged Maoxiang's left and right arms.

Maoxiang struggled desperately, but was no match for the strength of the two men. He was soon pushed to the ground by Hou Fangyu and Fan Chengmo, and the dagger in his hand was also taken away.

Duduo turned over and got up, just in time to see He Luohui holding out his saber, preparing to cut off Maoxiang's head.

"Wait a minute!" Duduo stopped him hastily, "Keep this thief here for now, I will have to kill him with my own hands!"

Duduo really made Maoxiang angry. He had followed the old slave to the battlefield since he was thirteen years old. He had been on the battlefield for twenty years and had never been injured. However, he did not expect that Maoxiang would eat his head soup today.

What made him even more angry was that he was actually deceived.

I took every precaution and tried all kinds of words, but I didn't expect that I was still fooled.

This made Dodo feel indescribable frustration and extremely angry.

When Maoxiang heard this, he laughed loudly and said, "Duduo thief, your death has come!"

"What a shameless statement!" Duduo said angrily and laughed, "I want to see whose death day has come!"

"Haha, of course it's your time to die!" Maoxiang laughed twice, then suddenly shouted with eyes wide open, "Tiezhu, quickly lower the gate and set fire to the city! Haha, hahahahaha!"

Although he knew he would definitely die, Maoxiang was still very happy.

Because Duduo had already entered the city, Tunqi, He Luohui and others also followed suit.

It is a pity that we were not able to burn 60,000 slaves in one go, but as long as we can burn Duduo, He Luohui, Tunqi and other Eight Banners nobles to death, we will already be making a lot of money, bloody profits!

Maoxiang looked up to the sky and smiled, but Duoduo and others looked up in horror.

But I saw that the hundreds of slaves guarding the city tower were cut down in an instant.

Seeing this, Duoduo, Tunqi, He Luohui and others couldn't believe their eyes. When did the local warriors in Shanyang City become so brave and good at fighting? The Eight Banners soldiers were no match at all?

Then a burly country man picked up an axe, and cut off the winch bolt in two strokes.

The winch bolt was cut off, and the thousand-pound gate fixed by the winch immediately fell with a bang, immediately blocking the only tunnel leading out of the city.

Jiannu, who had not yet entered the city, was immediately blocked outside the city gate.

"Not good!" Duduo's expression suddenly changed, he was a thief, he was tricked again!

He Luohui, Tunqi and other Eight Banners nobles also changed their faces and wanted to do something bad!

The next moment, the burly Xiang Yong swung his ax twice and broke the winch.

Now the trouble is big. Without the winch, it will be impossible to winch the jack brake in a short time.

In other words, including Duduo, the hundreds of slaves who have entered the city will never be able to escape in a short time!

It wasn't over yet. After cutting off the winch, the burly Xiang Yong took out a pair of flints from the leather pouch at his waist and tapped them twice, and then a little spark burst out.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of burning fuses was heard from the top of the city.

Hearing the popping sound, Duduo's expression instantly became even more embarrassing.

Seeing the drastic change in Duduo's expression, Maoxiang smiled even more happily.

"Haha, hahahaha!" Maoxiang laughed so hard that tears came down his face, "Duduo, your death has come!"

Duduo had no time to pay attention to Maoxiang at this time, and ordered He Luohui: "He Luohui, quickly lead people to kill all the bright dogs on the city, control the city gate, and then find a way to raise the Qianjin gate."

They won't be able to get out unless the gate is raised.

If we were really trapped at the gate of the city, we would be in big trouble.

"Hey!" He Luohui immediately got off his horse, took out his saber and climbed up the stairs.

As a real person with a white flag, He Luohui would not take action personally, but he couldn't do it today.

Seeing He Luohui rushing up the steps, dozens of Baya soldiers with white flags and more than a hundred red-armored soldiers immediately followed He Luohui and launched an attack on the Xiangyong on the top of the city.

The remaining Bagara and more than a hundred Hongjiala guarded Duduo.

Although a Jia La from the Zhengbai Banner had already entered the city before, no one could say what the situation was like in the city now, so the priority was to ensure Duduo's safety.

However, He Luohui's attack did not go smoothly.

One is because the stairs are too narrow and cannot be used.

Furthermore, the Ming army was condescending and occupied the terrain advantage.

Finally, the Ming army had fishing nets, lime and other defensive equipment.

He Luohui and the others barely rushed to the middle of the steps, and a sudden change occurred.

"Rumble..." A faint sound like thunder from the sky suddenly came from the ground, and then the ground began to shake violently. Duduo and the others almost lost their footing and fell to the ground.

After finally standing firm, when I looked carefully again, I found that several houses not far away had been blown down.

After the house was blown down, Duduo and the others were horrified to discover that the house was filled with various flammable materials such as firewood, hay, and wheat straw. It seemed that a sulfur fire was also placed?

Immediately, plumes of green smoke rose from the collapsed houses.

Obviously, the sparks generated by the explosion just now ignited the piled tinder.

Once the fire started, it spread quickly and soon completely engulfed several houses.

Looking at the houses that were quickly engulfed in flames, Duduo's eyes shrank slightly, and a sense of ominousness arose in his heart.

Because the two sides of the street next to several private houses are densely packed with shacks made of wooden boards or straw.

Even the west entrance where they were located was almost occupied by densely packed shacks, leaving only a narrow passage in the middle for passage.

Seeing this, Dodo's hair stood on end.

Then Duduo whipped Fan Chengmo fiercely with his riding crop.

"Slave dog, hurry up and clear out the nearby shacks, hurry up!"

Fan Chengmo snorted and quickly led Hou Fangyu and others to clean up the shack. Duduo sent more people forward.

Then there was another faint rumbling sound in the distance, and then the ground under my feet shook again, but not as much as before. It must be that the explosion site became farther away.

When I looked closer, I found that another house in the distance had collapsed and was on fire.

And this time there was not one fire, but multiple fires at the same time.

By this time, Duduo was very convinced that he had fallen into Yan Yingyuan's trick again.

"Yan Yingyuan, the thief!" Duduo roared angrily, "Fire attack! Fire attack again! Don't you know anything else but fire attack? Don't I have any other means?"

…

The successive explosions from the direction of the west gate also alarmed Yan Yingyuan and others.

Looking at the rising smoke, Yan Yingyuan's vision suddenly went dark and he almost fell to the ground.

"It's over, it's over, it's over!" Fan Zhongjie also stamped his feet and sighed, "It's too late!"

By now, it is no longer a question of whether there is enough time or not to rescue, but that we must evacuate Xicheng as soon as possible.

Because Maoxiang has launched a fire attack, the entire West City will soon be in flames. If they don't evacuate early, they will have no choice but to be buried in the sea of ​​​​fire along with Jiannu.

When the fire burns, it doesn't care whether you are a Ming army or a Jian slave.

At that moment, Yan Yingyuan shouted: "Erdan, send the order and evacuate West City quickly!"

Wu Erdan immediately ordered his men to go to the countryside and run to the east gate, and at the same time sent someone to notify Zhou Wenshan and them to evacuate.

Xiang Yong, who originally planned to go along the street to the west gate for reinforcements, immediately turned around and ran eastward, preparing to cross the west gate and the lock bridge on the canal to enter the east city.

But it will take time for so many warriors to pass through the narrow city gate.

Even if it is done in an orderly manner, it will take at least a quarter of an hour.

The question is, after the fire in the city completely spreads, only God knows whether Xiangyong can still maintain order.
