Lord of the House

Liu Xilin led his troops out from the Chu palace, and the last bit of fighting spirit of Chen Hansan's defenders who stayed in Xuzhou city collapsed.

The defender of Dongcheng beheaded his subordinates, and the rest knelt down. The defenders of Xicheng and Nancheng abandoned the towers and fled in the direction of Quanshan and Tongshan counties.

At that time, Chen Hansan stayed in Xuzhou to set up the envoy Si Yamen's 200 soldiers to protect his family and several dozen people to flee to Beicheng, and killed one of Liu Xilin who came with his troops; although the soldiers were all Chen Hansan's cronies were elite, but Naihe mixed with the three Chen Han families. On the relatively narrow Yaqian Street, Liu Xilin led the crowd to a rout, and the three Chen Han families also suffered heavy casualties.

About a thousand defenders escaped from the city gate and wanted to join Chen Hansan, who had retreated from the small village on the south bank of the Jingma River, but they fled for their lives in a hurry, and the queue was scattered. Fleeing desperately, most people knelt down and surrendered.

Zhang Yubo and Liu Xilin had a general grasp of the situation in Xuzhou City. The three remnants of Chen Han who retreated to Xiaozhai on the south bank of the Jingma River had less than 2,000 troops, and Li Liang led two cavalry battalions to stare there. Although there were more remnants of soldiers fleeing to the west, they couldn't even think of chasing them for a while. For Liu Miaozhen, it was more urgent to gather up the troops, approach Shajiaji, and entangle Zhou Zhizhong's department here.

Huaiyang is in the southwest of Xuzhou, a hundred miles away from Xuzhou, and there are still 5,000 elite infantry stationed there. The horses galloped out to report the news, and troops and horses could be sent to reinforce them as soon as tonight.

The two cities of Suining and Suyu are located in the south of Xuzhou, 150 and 200 miles away from Xuzhou respectively. There are 6,000 elite foot soldiers stationed in the two cities. It will not be delayed until tomorrow night at the latest. Soldiers came for reinforcements.

Xiapi is on the east side of Xuzhou, 150 miles away from Xuzhou City, where Geng Quanshan led the elites of the third battalion of Fengli Battalion to station there, and further east in Yizhou, there were six battalions of elite infantry, who were controlled by Geng Quanshan. Even if the reinforcements came from Yizhou, they would only be a little later than Su Yu's reinforcements.

I was worried that Chen Hansan would change and Xuzhou would fall into the hands of Yanhu, so Lin Fu was forced to garrison elites in Huaiyang, Suining, Suyu, Xiapi, Yizhou and other cities south of Xuzhou to form the Huaisi line of defense. The outermost defense.

Dividing troops for defense is a taboo in the military, and it is also a helpless thing, but at this time, the defenders of the peripheral cities can be mobilized to Xuzhou at the fastest speed.

Almost before nightfall tomorrow, Liu Miaozhen will have more than 10,000 elites available in Xuzhou. If Yanhu continued to dispatch troops and horses to the periphery of Xuzhou, Huaidong could even dispatch the main force of Fengli Camp from Siyang to reinforce it at full speed, and it would only take two days and two nights at the fastest.

Liu Miaozhen didn't expect to keep more than ten thousand Hu Qi led by He Xiongqi, but why didn't he dare to entangle Zhou Zhizhong's troops here?

There is a city without a city, and the way of play is completely different.

Liu Miaozhen didn't expect to be able to attack the Shajiaji all at once, nor did she expect to besiege the Shajia group to death. After all, that Hexiongqi and the more than 10,000 elites rode on Weimiaopo less than 30 miles away from here, not a decoration. .

Liu Miaozhen formed a formation right in front of the enemy's formation, which was less than 300 paces away from the enemy's Wangshao Fortress. At such a close distance, with a stronger bow, the arrow can even be thrown to the enemy's wall by the wind.

With such a close confrontation, Zhou Zhizhong couldn't even calmly transfer his troops and horses from the camp surrounded by walls.

The only option for him is to take the opportunity to fight back before more Huaidong troops and horses arrive from Huaiyang, Suining, Suyu and other cities, to transfer all the troops outside the camp to gather, and then find an opportunity to retreat north. .

Under the strong attack of the Huaidong Army, these soldiers and horses under the command of Zhou Zhizhong were all at risk.

However, after nightfall, Chen Hansan led his troops to break through the siege from the south bank of the Jingma River to the west, creating some confusion; the moon was clear, and He Xiongqi was able to lead his cavalry to approach under the moon, which gave Zhou Zhizhong the opportunity to adjust most of the troops and horses. Outside the camp surrounded by walls.

Ma Lantou led 3,000 reinforcements to arrive in time from Huaiyang, and the news that Liang Chengchong led his troops westward from Jining also came at the same time-although the timing of Liang Chengchong's dispatch of troops from Jining to the west was a bit strange, but Hexiong Qi knew that he would leave it to him to the north. The withdrawal time is very limited.

Although he knew that marching and retreating at night would inevitably lead to chaos, He Xiongqi did not dare to drag him north of Xuzhou city until tomorrow morning, and immediately ordered Zhou Zhizhong to lead his troops to break through the encirclement and retreat north. Pursue after rank. In one night, Zhou Zhizhong's troops were almost three or forty miles away from the Huaidong Army.

"Dong Yuan had troops and horses in Suiyang, and Dexin would probably drive them out to fight the underdogs; Liang Chengchong withdrew from Jining and headed westward, and should go to Caozhou, but He Xiongqi didn't dare to bet against Liang Chengchong that he would definitely not go to Yutai - the enemy The army will definitely flee to Shouzhang in a straight line..." Liu Miaozhen pressed her fingers on the map spread on the big shield and looked at the generals.

In the wilderness where the night wind was like a knife, Liu Miaozhen urgently summoned the generals, threw up two wind lanterns, spread a large shield on the carriage for the table, laid a map, and the generals stood in the night wind to discuss matters.

"He Xiongqi is a veteran. Although Huaidong has bullied him several times, he has to admit that he has some skills. He leads the cavalry in the rear, and the battalion cannot let go of his feet to chase after him." Zhou Pu followed Lin Fu and fought in Yannan. During this period, I played against He Xiongqi and knew his depth. Once the foot battalion released its feet to pursue, the formation would disperse. There was not enough flying contradictory vehicles for cover, and it was easy for the enemy to seize the opportunity to fight back. Even if they want to pursue, they can only follow the enemy at a slow speed, and the Huaidong Army can dispatch quickly, but only cavalry; thinking of this, Zhou Puzhi pointed to the location of Pei County on the map, "Chen Hansan fled to the southwest, Let him go for the time being, even if he passes through Huaixi, he can only go to Luo Xiancheng. It is surprising that He Xiongqi stayed in the rear of the palace. We bet that he would not dare to divide his troops. Then I, Sun Zhuang, and With Li Liang leading the cavalry battalion each and going around from the east and west, there will always be a team that can stop Zhou Zhizhong before Pei County..."

"Zhou Zhizhong is accompanied by more than 3,000 cavalry soldiers, and the bones are quite hard!" Ma Lantou said.

Ma Lantou led 3,000 soldiers to rush from Huaiyang for reinforcements, and the generals were also exhausted. At this time, the Huaiyang reinforcements could only avoid entering Xuzhou to rest, and also to strengthen the defense of Xuzhou City, and did not participate in the pursuit. Ma Lantou came here to participate in the military meeting, still panting.

"It's hard to bite, but it's hard to bite. In the first battle of Jiuli Mountain, I was one to two, and I never lost the wind. At this time, they were in a hurry to retreat north, and they didn't want to fight. We just need to entangle the infantry of Zhou Zhizhong. , Zhou Ye said, I think it is feasible." Sun Zhuang said.

"Okay, according to what Lord Zhou said, Sun Zhuang and Li Liang will lead their main troops to pursue first, but it is not certain that He Xiongqi will attack my main formation by force, and it will not work without cavalry to cover the flanks. Step back." Liu Miaozhen decided.

"Hi!" Zhou Pu sighed, he was also itchy and belligerent, and he didn't need Liu Miaozhen to take care of him, but thinking that Liu Miaozhen was the main general, he held back and didn't complain, and did what she said and did.

Na Hexiong and Qi Neng led the cavalry to stay in the rear of the palace, and he had already done his benevolence to Zhou Zhizhong and the newly attached troops.

Sun Zhuang and Li Liang each led a cavalry to the east and west, and after disappearing into the night, He Xiongqi could guess that the Huaidong cavalry was going to bypass him to pursue Zhou Zhizhong, but considering the complexity of the surrounding situation, In the end, instead of splitting up to intercept, he stared at Liu Miaozhen's main formation and slowly retreated.

****************

After Liu Tingzhou returned to Guoyang, Dong Yuan didn't know why Lin Fu was confident of winning under Xuzhou City, but as Lin Fu wished, he ordered Xiao Kuian to gather 10,000 soldiers and horses and follow him north to Suiyang.

The Changhuai army itself had to withdraw from the beam and defend Suiyang, so as to protect the flank of the Changhuai army retreating south from being attacked by the Yans. From this perspective, Dong Yuan would also lead his troops to advance in Suiyang.

In Suiyang, Dong Yuan learned that Chen Hansan had openly defected and beat Liu Miaozhen outside Xuzhou City.

Although Dong Yuan sent a scout to Xuzhou to watch the battle, he did not get close to the battlefield. The great victory of the Huaidong Army under Xuzhou City was strange and hasty, which surprised Dong Yuan.

In the great victory of Xuzhou, Lin Fili had two great achievements in quelling the rebellion and defending against insults. He was afraid that if he wanted to seal the prince, he would not be able to reward him. Dong Yuan felt sour and jealous, but he also ordered Xiao Kuian to guard Suiyang. He personally ordered eight thousand soldiers. Ma Dongjin rushed to Pei County to participate in the interception, at least to give some credit, so as not to make his face too ugly~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Although it was only more than 80 miles from the north of Shajiaji to Pei County, Zhou Zhizhong was there. With chasing troops in the back and interception in the front, it was delayed until the third day of November, that is, on the third day after he led his troops to retreat north, did he arrive at Pei County, even half a day later than Dong Yuan.

Dong Yuan, Sun Zhuang, and Li Liang cooperated and fought against Zhou Zhizhong, winning both battles. Zhou Zhizhong was forced to retreat to the ruined city of Pei County. Zhou Zhizhong was trapped in the ruined city of Pei County, and Liu Miaozhen led the main force of Huaiyang Town to chase after him. He Xiongqi was worried that the dry food would be exhausted and the horse food would be exhausted. After a decisive battle, Zhou Zhizhong finally gave up and fled north around Peixian County. After Hexiong Qibei fled, Zhou Zhizhong led his troops to break through the encirclement, and they were defeated, and only led more than a thousand remaining soldiers to escape. When Zhou Zhizhong's remnants passed through between Yutai and Caozhou, they picked up Liang Chengchong's advantage again. After the battle was defeated, Mo Jiben also killed Liang Chengchong's subordinates under the horse.

At this time, Lin Fu had arrived in Xuzhou and instructed Liu Miaozhen to continue to lead the main force of Huaiyang Town to the north, until Yutai stopped and entered the ruined city of Yutai.

At this time, Cao Zi'ang and Ning Zechen led the main force of Fengli's camp to Xuzhou and joined Lin Fu.

Lin Fu envoy Cao Zi'ang to sit in Xuzhou. He personally led Ning Zeya, Ma Lantou, Geng Quanshan and other generals from Xuzhou on November 9th to order 20,000 troops and horses to go to Yutai, join Liu Miaozhen, and then go north to Linzhou.

Huaidong's elites on the northern front, more than 40,000 elites are gathered in Linzhou, less than 150 miles away from Shouzhang. If Dong Yuan, Tao Chun, Liang Chengchong and other troops are invited, they can make up thirteen. An army of 40,000 came out. Although the infantry was the main force, it was entirely possible to repel the 70,000 or 80,000 captives assembled in Shouzhang in one fell swoop by taking advantage of the remaining momentum of the great victory in Xuzhou, and easily relieved the siege of Dongping.
