An hour later, nearly 30,000 bandits were wiped out, and according to the order sent by Liu Juntao, Zhang Xiaojun and Zhou Zongsheng all issued an order to kill without mercy, leaving no one alive.

At this time, the entire battlefield was full of blood and corpses, like Shura's hell.

However, the casualties of Zhang Xiaojun and Zhou Zongsheng's two young and strong troops were not large, and Zhou Zongsheng's iron cavalry had more than 100 casualties because of the reason for charging into battle; After Zhang Xiaojun's troops arrived, they just took advantage of the situation to cover up the killing, and in addition to more than 20 young men who were wounded, only 11 people were killed, and the results of the two young men were brilliant.

Zhang Xiaojun took his young men to clean up the battlefield in a hurry, while Zhou Zongsheng rushed over and said, "Mr. Zhang Qian, can you see Ye Zongliu's body on the battlefield?" ”

Ye Zongliu's appearance has been found out by Liu Zi'an by all means, and he has drawn an atlas and distributed it, and the Yushan Town guards can basically recognize it.

Zhang Xiaojun shook his head solemnly and said, "Not yet!" I think it's very likely that Ye Zongliu took advantage of the chaos to escape! ”

Zhou Zongsheng frowned and said: "This Ye Zongliu is really fateful, he can escape from a desperate situation several times or three times, and he really has some ability!" ”

Zhang Xiaojun thought for a moment and said, "Then if Ye Zongliu escapes, he will definitely flee back to Yejiabao in Mengyin County!" I don't think it's as good as this, Zhou Qian led the iron cavalry to pursue in the direction of Yejiabao, I hurried up to clean up the battlefield, and then followed up, how? ”

"Good!"

Zhou Zongsheng was obviously unwilling to let Ye Zongliu go, so he immediately agreed, and then said: "Remember to send someone to report to Mr. Lian!" ”

"Of course!"

The two had already decided, and Zhou Zongsheng did not delay any longer, and directly led more than 1,800 young men and women to set off and rushed towards Yejiabao in Mengyin County.

And Zhang Xiaojun also sent a horse team of Qingzhuang to the north to accompany Weishan to report to Liu Juntao the movements of the two of them.

At the same time, Liu Juntao was leading Hu Dexing and Yan Hu, as well as the young men of the Central Military Department to clean up the battlefield in Beiwei Mountain, and detained the remaining more than 20,000 villagers.

As for the thousands of remnants left by Ye Zongliu, they had already turned into corpses on the ground at this time, and none of them were alive.

After Liu Juntao received the news sent by Zhang Xiaojun, he also quite agreed, so he left Hu Dexing and asked him to lead the young men of his department to take care of the more than 20,000 villagers on the spot, and sent people to Ren Chengwei, asking Ren Chengwei to command Lei Bo to come forward and send people to deal with these villagers.

After that, Liu Juntao led more than 4,000 young men from the Central Military Department and Yan Hu's department to the south, and at the same time ordered Zhang Xiaojun's young men to march east as soon as possible to meet Zhou Zongsheng's department, and not to let Zhou Zongsheng's horse team form a lonely army.

After the deployment was completed, Liu Juntao and Yan Hu led the crowd all the way south, and arrived at Maoyang Town two days later.

When he arrived in Maoyang Town, Liu Juntao once again received the news sent by Zhang Xiaojun, and learned that Zhang Xiaojun had led his Qingzhuang to the east of Qingzhou Mansion and was currently marching towards Yejiabao in Mengyin County.

In this regard, Liu Juntao was also a little worried in his heart, at this time, he had not received the news from Zhou Zongsheng back, and he could not determine the whereabouts of Ye Zongliu, nor did he know what the situation of Yejiabao's remaining guards was.

As a result, Liu Juntao only stayed in Maoyang Town for one night, and the next morning he led his troops eastward with Yan Hu, and at the same time sent someone to inform Zhang Xiaojun again, ordering him to respond to Zhou Zongsheng as soon as possible to prevent accidents.

At the same time, Yejiabao.

When Wang Neng heard the news that Ye Zong stayed in Beiwei Mountain and was defeated, and then was raided by the Yushan Town horse team, he was stunned on the spot as if he had been hit by five thunderbolts.

Subsequently, the news that the Yushan Town Brigade was marching eastward in batches also came back, Yejiabao was suddenly panicked, and Wang Neng also fell into extreme fear.

Originally, when he was in Zhejiang, although he had also experienced a big defeat, Ye Zongliu was still there at that time, and Wang Neng also had something to rely on in his heart, at least there were people above him.

But now, the 13,000 people in Yejiabao are all staring at Wang Neng, and everyone's hopes are also gathered on Wang Neng, which suddenly makes Wang Neng sit on pins and needles!

So far, Wang Neng can only go up hard, but in the face of the onslaught of more than 10,000 Yushan Town guards, Wang Neng knows very well in his heart that he can't have any chance of winning!

As a result, Wang Neng began to plan the way back for himself and his 13,000 men.

At the same time, Ye Zongliu also fled back to Mengyin County with a thousand henchmen.

Ye Zongliu was worried that he would be caught up by the horse team of Yushan Town, so he did not flee directly in the direction of Mengyin County, but first made a circle to the south, and then rushed to Mengyin County.

In this way, the 1,000 people of Ye Zong's department just escaped the pursuit of Zhou Zongsheng's iron cavalry, and also avoided the pursuit of Zhang Xiaojun's department, and successfully appeared in the south of Yejiabao.

However, at this time, Ye Zongliu was not in a hurry to rush back to Yejiabao, because Ye Zongliu understood that what Yejiabao needed at this time was reinforcements, even if he rushed back with these thousand soldiers and horses now, it would not affect the overall situation, and Yejiabao was destined to be defeated by the Yushan Town Guards!

Therefore, after thinking about it, Ye Zong made up his mind to rush to the southeast first, plunder the township along the way, and then rush back to Yejiabao with a large army.

However, before Ye Zongliu could put this plan into action, he met Wang Neng's troops head-on to the south, and the two sides immediately joined forces.

Ye Zongliu looked at Wang Neng, who was kneeling in front of him, and said angrily: "Why give up Yejiabao!" ”

Wang Neng said with tears streaming down his face: "King, we can't keep it!" ”

"Did those tens of thousands of brothers die in vain?"

"King! Only if everyone survives, we will have a chance to take revenge! ”

"Live?"

Ye Zongliu said in despair: "Now that Yejiabao is gone, and our foundation is gone, how can we survive?" ”

Wang Neng looked at Ye Zongliu and said loudly: "Great King! Let's leave Qingzhou Mansion and go to Xuzhou! ”

"Xuzhou?"

Ye Zongliu asked, "Why?" ”

Wang Neng said: "I heard that the Xu family in Xuzhou has always been at odds with Yushan Town, and has suffered Liu Juntao's loss, let's take these fourteen thousand people to form an alliance, and the Xu family will definitely agree!" With the Xu family under the protection of the outside, we can live, as long as we survive, we can make a comeback! ”

After hearing this, Ye Zongliu stood up suddenly, and without the slightest hesitation, he said loudly: "Go!" Go to Xuzhou! ”

Three days later, Ye Zongliu and Wang Neng took 14,000 men south to Xuzhou.

At the same time, Zhang Xiaojun led his troops to join Zhou Zongsheng's department at Yejiabao.

When Liu Juntao learned that Ye Zongliu had escaped, he was indignant in his heart, although he ordered Zhou Zongsheng to lead his troops to search for the traces of Ye Zongliu's department, but there was no result, and he could only give up temporarily.

After that, Liu Juntao led the main force to Yejiabao, and after counting all the money and grain inside, he ordered Yejiabao to be burned.

Eleven days later, Liu Juntao led his troops back to Yushan Town, and Zhang Xiaojun and Yan Hu also led their troops back to the station.

This time, Liu Juntao annihilated a total of 40,000 bandits and bandits in Ye Zongliu's department, rescued more than 20,000 young and strong villagers who were captive, and all of them were handed over to Yanzhou Mansion for resettlement, and won the great praise of Lei Bo, the commander of the city guard, and the prefect of Yanzhou Mansion.

At the same time, Liu Juntao also seized 70,000 taels of silver and 120,000 stone of grain, which seemed to be a big harvest, but for Liu Juntao at this time, this money and grain was not very rich, so he took out a part of it and distributed it to the young Zhuang who participated in the battle of the Yushan Town Guard, and most of the rest was used as pension silver to distribute to the men who were killed and injured in the Ministry of Commerce, as well as the young men who were killed and injured in the escort team.

However, Liu Juntao was always worried about Ye Zongliu's escape, so he ordered Liu Zi to find Ye Zongliu's whereabouts safely, and offered a reward of 10,000 taels of silver, so that the entire Shandong Haoqiang could assist in the search, and for a time the whole Shandong was surging.
