Gu Chengxuan only has one thought now, and that is to escape from Yuzhou City.
But Bai Yutian pursued them closely, and the Zhou army tightly surrounded them without leaving a single gap, making the rebels' advance very slow.
More and more Zhou troops gathered, and they had a strong tendency to occupy the entire Yuzhou City.
The rebels outside were leaderless, and the morale of the Zhou army was high, so they became more and more courageous as they fought.
Naturally, the rebels were killed by the Zhou army and were completely defeated.
Except for the army led by Gu Chengxuan, most of the rebels were put down.
If the city of Yuzhou was not too chaotic and the terrain was too narrow, hundreds of thousands of troops could surround them in an instant.
At this time, there were only more than 20,000 rebels beside Gu Chengxuan.
Almost all the reserve soldiers among the rebels were wiped out.
If this continues, it will only be a matter of time before Gu Chengxuan is caught.
Bai Yutian and others saw clearly, and the more they dared to be careless at this time, for fear that Gu Chengxuan might have a back-up plan.
However, they couldn't see that a trace of madness flashed in Gu Chengxuan's eyes at this moment.
Gu Chengxuan's thinking was meticulous. Although Bai Yutian's plans were thwarted many times, he was able to avoid danger every time.
"Everyone, set fire!" Gu Chengxuan shouted angrily.
Many flammable materials, including wood and thatch, were placed on the main streets of Yuzhou City.
At the critical moment, he was able to kill Gu Chengxuan.
The most important thing is that once the fire breaks out, the entire Yuzhou City will be reduced to a sea of flames.
Bai Yutian didn't know Gu Chengxuan's crazy thoughts, so he quickly ordered the Zhou army to surround Gu Chengxuan tightly and not give him a chance to escape.
Of course, the more than 20,000 rebels are still elite, and they are in such a cramped environment inside the city.
It is naturally not that easy to break through the rebel formation and capture the main generals.
Time passed like this, and in a blink of an eye it was daylight.
At this moment, Bai Yutian keenly saw a ignition point.
The flames burned very quickly and instantly burned into a sea of fire, covering a large area.
A bad feeling suddenly flashed through Bai Yutian's heart, and the scene in Tancheng resurfaced in his mind.
Then, Bai Yutian suddenly raised his head and penetrated all around.
Only then did we discover that the city of Yuzhou was actually full of wood and thatch, and it was very dry and could burn if it encountered a spark.
Before Bai Yutian could give the order, a violent explosion sounded.
It turned out that the gunpowder carried by the Zhou army was contaminated with sparks, causing an explosion.
The terrain in Yuzhou City is complex and densely populated.
For Dazhou's muskets, they cannot shoot accurately and their killing range is too large.
Therefore, Genius Bai Yu did not order everyone to shoot with muskets.
But I didn't expect that the Zhou army would suffer losses due to the presence of gunpowder.
Fortunately, the amount of gunpowder in this batch was not large, so the casualties suffered by the Zhou army were not too heavy.
However, this explosion caused loopholes in the Zhou army's formation, and riots began within the army.
Gu Chengxuan was overjoyed. He originally wanted to fight Bai Yutian to death, but he never expected that such a good opportunity would appear.
In an instant, Gu Chengxuan ordered the army to change direction and break out in the direction of the explosion.
Kou Wang, Guan Zheng and others tried to stop Gu Chengxuan, but they were blocked by Tamu, Deng Liao and others.
By the time Bai Yutian arrived, Gu Chengxuan had already fled a long distance.
Bai Yutian still wanted to pursue, but was blocked by the fire.
If this continues, the Zhou army will have to be buried with this city.
In desperation, Bai Yutian quickly ordered the army to evacuate Yuzhou City.
However, there are still tens of thousands of people in Yuzhou City.
They watched the flames burning but could do nothing.
Some discovered it early and escaped in time.
But the people living in the city were blocked by the fire and could not escape.
Seeing this, Bai Yutian could only order the army to fetch water from a distance to put out the fire in Yuzhou City.
Yuzhou City is different from Tan City in that there are several water sources around it.
Even if a fire breaks out, it can be put out in time.
However, at this time, Gu Chengxuan had disappeared.
Bai Yutian clenched his fists tightly in his sleeves, looking very unwilling.
Although they won the victory, successfully eliminated most of the rebels and occupied Yuzhou City, they failed to capture Gu Chengxuan.
It's a pity that after such a good opportunity, it will be difficult to catch Gu Chengxuan in the future.
Moreover, Gu Chengxuan's escape meant that the rebels could not be completely eliminated.
In this land, there are still threats from rebels.
