After Kong Youde made up his mind to block the officers and troops who caught up, he no longer consulted too much with other generals, but personally began to deploy his cronies to take on the heavy task of blocking the attack.

"Ninety, Zhong Ming, you are ready to gather the army in your hands, and when the terrain is suitable, we will start to block the official army." Kong Youde said to a few cronies.

The few cronies agreed, and the plan to block it was settled.

While the rebels were hurrying, they also began to look left and right for favorable terrain.

Shandong is mostly plains and hills, and there are fewer mountains, which also makes Kong Youde's troops not have much choice.

When passing through a small hill that was obviously higher on both sides, Kong Youde decided that this was the place.

So Kong Youde's rebel troops finally stopped.

The army, under the command of Kong Youde, divided into two parts and hid on the hills on both sides of the road, and due to time constraints, the soldiers could only be ordered to collect the rubble as best they could.

However, many of the officers and soldiers who had been on the road for so long had not rested for more than a day, and they did not bother to collect broken stones, and they all began to fall asleep.

Geng Zhongming, an artillery expert, also looked at the terrain at this time and sighed. "Alas, I ran in such a hurry, all the artillery was abandoned to the side of the road, and I didn't bring a single artillery, and if there were a few cannons at this time, and they were defeated on the hill, aiming at the bottom of the mountain, it would be a bombardment."

But it was useless to sigh, Geng Zhongming could only honestly ask the soldiers to collect rubble as much as possible.

Here, Kong Youde's army turned around and ambushed.

Over there, Xie Lian and the officials and soldiers in the city also chased after him day and night for more than a day, and they couldn't eat or sleep, one by one, with dark circles under their eyes, chewing the cakes brought out from the city in their mouths, and kept hurrying forward.

This kind of pursuit is indeed very rare, and this kind of pursuit is sometimes very dangerous, because it is easy to escape the ambush of the army, which will lead to a great defeat.

And Xie Lian, a person who knows the art of war well, naturally knows such dangers.

But he still did this, firstly, because Kong Youde had too much hatred with them, and they did not allow Kong Youde to escape.

Second, they caught a lot of stragglers and escaped rebels along the way, and they also knew that Kong Youde's rebels had been in chaos and began to flee in large numbers.

The third is that the men and horses sent by Xie Lian brought news that the Yuan Dynasty, which had recovered Dengzhou City, had already led the team and was only half a day's journey away from them.

Xie Lian had to delay Kong Youde for half a day even if he risked an ambush this time, so that Kong Youde could not escape from Shandong.

Finally, it didn't take long for Xie Lian to chase in front of this hill.

It had been a long time since there had been a hilly section, when hills suddenly appeared on both sides, and the terrain was very dangerous for the marching troops.

And the careful Xie Lian found that it had been a while since he had continued to see the rebels who had fled behind.

These details made Xie Lian, who had been in the army for a long time, smell a hint of conspiracy.

"Stop." Xie Lian shouted to stop for the first time after he went out of the city to pursue.

When the team heard this order, it was also out of inertia, and they walked forward for a short time before they stopped completely.

Xie Lian used his eyes to polish the sides of the hill back and forth.

Xie Lian pulled out a whistle arrow from behind him and shot it.

"Huh." The whistle on the whistle makes a high-pitched sound.

There were quite a few trees on the hill, and it was supposed that a few birds should have stopped, but just now the whistle arrow flew by, and not a single bird was startled.

"There's a problem." Xie Lian looked at the situation in front of him and muttered to himself.

"Go, send a general force on the left and right to check the situation in detail. The other teams are ready to defend themselves against the enemy. Xie Lian dictated the opportunity.

The letter soldiers also hurriedly conveyed Xie Lian's news.

The commander, who had received the order to explore the path, began to march towards the mountain.

And the army, which did not receive the order to explore the path, began to assemble and arrange the formation.

"Damn, it didn't even hit the plan." Kong Youde painstakingly decided to fight an ambush, but he didn't expect his opponent to be so cunning this time, so he didn't fall for it and sent someone to search the mountain for inspection.

Kong Youde knew very well that this time, the plan of wanting to rely on suddenness to pay most of the pursuing officers and soldiers no longer existed, and now he could only adjust the ambush battle to an encounter battle.

When the general officers and soldiers who inspected the condition of the mountain slowly approached the mountain where Kong Youde was, Kong Youde suddenly burst out and angrily threw out the first broken stone.

"Hit." Kong Youde accompanied by a shout from himself, and with all his strength, he smashed a large piece of gravel in the direction of the official army.

"There is an ambush, hold on." Seeing the rebels constantly pouring out of the hills on both sides of the road, Xie Lian was not panicked and commanded the army to form a formation to resist.

"Kill." Kong Youde threw the few stones beside him, and then drew his weapon, preparing to attack the official army.

However, Xie Lian looked like he was expecting, calmly commanding the officers and soldiers to resist Kong Youde's impact.

Fleeing until now, only 8,000 rebels remained, rushing down.

And Xie Lian's 3,000 officers and troops formed a circle in an orderly manner, protecting themselves.

The two armies inevitably collided.

The rebels on Kong Youde's side, with weak energy, waved their weapons, and some even babbled off the shield with big swords and machetes, which were instantly bounced off by the shield.

There is only a small group of Kong Youde's personal soldiers, whose combat power is relatively eye-catching, and they can wield weapons to enter the round formation.

However, on the side of the official army, although they are also tired all the way, they have less inner reminders and fears, and there is hatred in the support, and the officers and soldiers are still much more reliable, and some officers and soldiers are not disciplined, and even want to break out of the circle and kill in the enemy army.

Kong Youde watched his men and horses continue to fall, and such casualties were also unpredictable for him.

"Chong, we have so many people, several times more than them, even if we are piling up, we have to pile them to death, so that they dare not chase anymore." Kong Youde simply fell into a state of madness when he saw such a scene, and frantically supervised the battle back and forth.

"Hmph." With a scorn, the spear pierced into the chest of a rebel, just now this rebel also wanted Xie Lian's life, which Cheng thought of a round, Xie Lian gave the enemy a heart-chill.

"Brush." After drawing his spear, Xie Lian looked at Kong Youde's rebels and became even more crazy, but Xie Lian still had that determined look.

"Brothers, hold on, it won't be long before our reinforcements arrive, and this time we must avenge Governor Zhu's mansion." Xie Lian raised his arms and shouted, causing all the officers and soldiers to respond.

"Kill." The heroic sound of the officers and soldiers killing thieves has been traveling for several miles, frightening the already uncertain rebels, and most of their hearts have been lost.
