Lu Guangda's 30,000 officers and men of the Chen Army were attacked from behind just now, but with the help of their own excellent combat psychological literacy, they could barely maintain the battle formation of encirclement and annihilation in the face of the fierce artillery bombardment of the Qi army's artillery units! But now Gao Chang led the Qi army in Xuzhou City to rush out, and killed him behind his back violently, which completely broke the psychological defense line of the Chen army's soldiers at once, and everyone no longer had any courage to fight with the Qi army, so everyone scattered and fled for their lives!

As soon as the battle formation was chaotic, Lu Guangda completely lost control of the army, so he could only shout loudly: "Mingjin withdraw the troops!" Fall back! Give me all retreat! We must preserve our strength and wait for us to join up with our brothers in the Eastern Route Army, and then come back to take Xuzhou City and avenge our dead brothers! ”

Then Lu Guangda led the troops that were closest to him and could still hear his command, holding a big banner, and quickly retreated to the south!

And the other soldiers of the Chen army saw that even their own main general had fled now, and they didn't want to continue fighting, so everyone followed Lu Guangda's banner even more frantically to the south, fleeing the battlefield as fast as possible!

Gao Changgong, who was chasing behind Chen's army, naturally would not let go of such a good opportunity to kill the enemy, so he took a cavalry of more than 3,000 people and began to pursue the fleeing enemy and destroy the enemy's living force!

And the Chen army, which is basically infantry, how can it outrun the cavalry on war horses, so many Chen soldiers just ran out of the range of artillery muskets, but they were caught up by the cavalry, and they were still ruthlessly stabbed to the ground!

For a time, outside the city of Xuzhou, corpses were all over the field, blood flowed like a river, the sound of fighting, wailing, and screaming resounded throughout the whole world, and the scene was incomparably bloody and tragic!

Just when Lu Guangda led the defeated troops of the Chen army to retreat to the south, there was suddenly a great movement from the east, and from a distance, the yellow sand was all over the sky, the dust was flying, and the shouts of killing were continuous.

Could it be that the Eastern Route Army is coming, in this case, it would be really good! Lu Guangda thought secretly, because although he was now fleeing with the rout, if reinforcements arrived at this time, there would be a chance to turn defeat into victory! Because in terms of troops, the advantage of chasing soldiers in Qi is greater, and it is also a great encouragement to the psychology of the soldiers, and it is also a serious blow to the morale of the chasing soldiers of the Qi army behind!

But as the movement in the east got closer and closer to him, Lu Guangda's face became more and more ugly, because he heard the movement in the east, which was accompanied by a rush of horses' hooves!

This force coming from the east is cavalry!

And from the dust in the sky, and the noisy sound of horses' hooves, it can be known that there are quite a few cavalry! This shows that the troops coming from the east are definitely not the Eastern Route Army, because the Eastern Route Army has no cavalry troops at all, except for a small number of generals who can ride horses, the entire Eastern Route Army is almost all sailors and infantry!

The person who rushed here was not the Eastern Route Army, who could it be? Could it be that they are ambushes planted by Gao Changgong? How could Gao Changgong have predicted that we would attack Xuzhou City and then set up so many ambushes against us? How could he be so aware of our actions?

At this time, the cavalry in the east had already appeared in front of the defeated army of the Chen State, and then the battle flag behind them had a big Qi character and Wei character written on it, it turned out that this cavalry was from Xiapi County, led by Wei Xiangyuan 2,000 cavalry! Love Book House

After Wei Xiangyuan successfully assassinated Xu Jingcheng, the defenders of Xiapi County joined forces to flank the Eastern Route Army, and then defeated the Eastern Route Army of nearly 20,000 people with only 5,000 men and horses, successfully removing the threat to the east of Xuzhou! Therefore, in order to reinforce Gao Changgong of Xuzhou City, Wei Xiangyuan immediately led 2,000 cavalry stationed in Xiapi County and rushed to Xuzhou City overnight!

As a result, as soon as he arrived at Xuzhou City, he saw that the Chen army besieging Xuzhou City had been defeated by Gao Changgong, so the overjoyed Wei Xiangyuan beat the water dogs in a fierce formation, and immediately led the cavalry to launch a flank attack on the fleeing Chen army!

"Oops, they are reinforcements from the Qi army! Remove! Hurry up! Everyone retreats to Inju! Lu Guangda hurriedly shouted loudly, and then this time he ignored the soldiers around him, whipped his crotch and lowered his war horse, and quickly ran in the direction of Renzhou in the south without looking back!

Lu Guangda is right, when the two armies face each other, if one side suddenly comes to reinforcements, it must be a serious blow to the other side, so now it is the reinforcements of the Qi army, which makes these Chen troops who are already being chased and killed by Gao Changgong even more desperate!

Running for your life is the only thought of all Chen soldiers!

Originally, there were some heroic generals of the Chen army just now, who took the initiative to block Gao Changgong's pursuit with their subordinates, and let Lu Guangda retreat with the main force of the army, but now he saw that another cavalry of the Qi State attacked him from the flank, which made the already chaotic Chen army even more chaotic!

Both cavalry rushed into the pile of Chen's army, rampaged, slashed left and right, and countless Chen's soldiers fell to the ground! Because the cavalry of the Qi army were frantically slaughtering these Chen soldiers who were caught up, this also slowed down the speed of these cavalry, so those Chen soldiers who ran in front took the opportunity to run forward even more desperately, hoping that their parents would give them more legs to escape from the pursuit of the Qi army!

Lu Guangda and those Chen soldiers who ran fast, walked every way, crossed the bridge when they saw it, and finally got rid of the pursuit of the Qi army, and Lu Guangda, who got a chance to breathe, did not dare to relax a little, first counted these soldiers who had been escaping with him, and found that the original 30,000 soldiers were now less than 5,000 people still with him!

Such a fiasco made this veteran can't help but slap himself fiercely, and scolded himself with chagrin and remorse that he was too impulsive, too light on the enemy, did not reconnoiter the situation of the Qi army, and did not get in touch with the Eastern Route Army, so he hastily launched a siege of Xuzhou City, but he fell into the trap of Gao Changgong, resulting in the defeat of the Chen army, and now only these thousands of people escaped with him!

But now is not the time to blame yourself, because the cavalry of the Qi army will catch up at any time, so after Lu Guangda counted the number of people, he immediately ordered his generals to go to various places to collect the remnants of those who escaped but could not find a large army, and then everyone returned to Renzhou to converge, after all, although the attack on Xuzhou failed, but Renzhou, an important town in Huaibei, has also been taken, which can be regarded as a foothold for himself in Huaibei!

Lu Guangda took his own personal guards and fled all the way south back to Renzhou, and then other generals also returned to Renzhou with their remaining subordinates one after another, so, a few days ago it was still a festive city, full of morale and high-spirited soldiers Renzhou City, but now it is full of wounded soldiers and disabled generals, all of them sighing, frustrated and frustrated, and a sad and depressing atmosphere envelops the entire Renzhou City!

A few days ago, 30,000 soldiers of the Chen army left Renzhou City in high spirits and marched towards Xuzhou City, but now only more than 10,000 people have returned to Renzhou City, which means that more than 20,000 soldiers died tragically under the butcher's knife of the Qi army!

Because Gao Changgong killed countless Qi soldiers in order to retaliate against the Chen army during the siege of Huainan, and also to deter the Chen army's Northern Expedition in one fell swoop, so in this Xuzhou War, Gao Changgong did not leave any prisoners of war, and those Chen soldiers who surrendered or were captured without exception were all escorted to the outskirts of Xuzhou City without hesitation and slashed on the spot!

As a result, the battle of Xuzhou between Chen and Qi ended with the defeat of the Chen army, and the outside of Xuzhou was bloody, and the heroic souls of 20,000 Chen soldiers were left in the wilderness of this foreign land!
