Although the army in Kong Youde's hands was two or three times that of Xie Lian, its morale did fall a lot.

Neither side can have a clear advantage in the fight, and the two sides have formed a state of attacking and defending each other for a while, and no one can quickly win the other.

Xie Lian tightened the formation tightly.

"Brothers, hold on, behind us, there are officers and soldiers from Dengzhou, and if they wait, there is only a dead end." Xie Lian had just fought hard in front of the formation, and now he had just retreated from the front.

In fact, what Xie Lian said was half true and half false.

Xie Lian knew through the previous Tanma that from the direction of Dengzhou, Yuan Chao led the army to approach Laizhou, and they were only about a day's foot, which was what Xie Lian said just now, really one thing.

And half of the fake is that Xie Lian said that the army of the Yuan Dynasty can be killed immediately, this is Xie Lian's own nonsense, under such a high-intensity march, Xie Lian rarely hears news about behind him. As for where the Yuan Dynasty's army went, Xie Lian couldn't grasp it at all, but in order to boost morale, he could only say this.

Regardless of whether the news is true or not, the officers and soldiers are still very excited when they hear such news.

One by one, they resisted the idea of being hungry and sleepy, and continued to fight actively.

Xie Lian here is fighting hard, and Kong Youde is even more frightened over there.

Kong Youde understands that every moment of procrastination here is adding fuel to his own fire.

Kong Youde looked restless while watching the battle from behind, and the anxiety of the past few days made the corners of his mouth bubble with fire.

"Why can't you defeat them, are they iron men?" Kong Youde saw that the impact again and again was in vain, Kong Youde was anxious, pacing on the side, and talking.

After attacking four times in a row, Kong Youde's army was still unable to break through the round iron bucket array arranged by Xie Lian and them.

This round iron bucket array is like a hedgehog, piercing all enemies that come close to it are either killed or wounded.

"Kong Shuai, seeing that it is not easy to win the opponent in a short period of time, why don't we retreat." Geng Zhongming came out to persuade at this time.

Kong Youde looked at Geng Zhongming, and also sighed, "Alas, if you have a few artillery pieces and you are here, why worry about not breaking such a small formation." ”

"That's it, the army retreats in an orderly manner, ninety percent, do you bring people to the palace, be careful of this group of officers and soldiers sneaking up on the army." Kong Youde couldn't afford to delay and was ready to run away.

As soon as the officers who received Kong Youde's order heard that they were going to continue to run away, they did not want to fight anymore and immediately broke away from the battle line and began to retreat southward.

Li Jiucheng looked at this chaotic situation, and could only try his best to organize his direct subordinates, control the army, and be the queen of the army.

In the center of the iron bucket array, Xie Lian, who was panting and resting, saw the rebels all over the mountains and fields attacking the position with great momentum just now. Now they're all turning their butts around again and continuing to run.

Xie Lian was also puzzled for a while. once suspected that it was Kong Youde's trick again. But looking at the rebels who fled without a purpose, and even killed each other for a horse, under such a chaotic situation, Xie Lian felt that Kong Youde really couldn't stand it and was about to run away again.

"Brothers, they don't stop, let's not stop, keep in formation, and continue to pursue." After Xie Lian understood the situation on the battlefield, he issued an order.

So this blockade ended with the defeat of Kong Youde, who got nothing, but wasted nearly two hours of effort.

And it was precisely because of Kong Youde's delay that the distance between the Yuan Dynasty and them was further shortened.

The army of the Yuan Dynasty has always been amazingly strong, they are not a group of soldiers, but a group of battle-hardened soldiers, some of whom have also experienced the trek from Chenzhou to the capital, so the speed of such an army every day is not comparable to other armies.

When Yuan Chao learned the news of Kong Youde's escape in the news of Tanma, Yuan Chao took a shortcut as soon as possible and went in the direction of Qingzhou, preparing to intercept Kong Youde's footsteps southward.

The march was already fast, and under the order of the high-intensity march of the Yuan Dynasty, the real army increased its marching speed, and moved in the direction of Qingzhou by taking a shortcut.

This time, Kong Youde was delayed for two hours in vain in the plan to block Xie Lian, and he was closely followed by Xie Lian, and he had to be careful to watch out for Xie Lian behind him for a while, so he couldn't get up if he wanted to.

All kinds of factors combined to make it possible for the Yuan Dynasty to intercept Kong Youde's way south.

"Owner, the fish are back." During the sleepless march, Yuan Chao sat on the horse several times and almost fell off the horse because he was sleepy, and this time when he was about to fall asleep, he heard Kong Ergou's loud shout.

"What? What the? The fish are back? Where? Yuan Chao woke up suddenly, muttering with a blank face.

"Hey, the fish is back, I'll let him come to the owner now." Kong Ergou listened to Yuan Chao's muttering, and hurriedly took the dusty fish.

"My subordinate Liu Yu'er has seen the owner of the village." The fish solemnly saluted Yuan Chao, looking at him with a dusty face, as if he had just returned from mining.

"Yu'er, you've worked hard, do you have any important information about coming back this time?" At this time, Yuan Chao also woke up completely, and asked Liu Yuer what important information he had this time.

"Owner, this message is really important."

"I was ordered to go forward to find out the news, and now there has begun to appear in the direction of Qingzhou, and a small force of Kong Youde's troops has begun to flee, and his subordinates have grabbed a few tongues and interrogated, saying that Kong Youde had ambushed the officers and soldiers who had been chasing them behind them before this, but it didn't seem to have succeeded, and the morale of the army was further damaged, and more and more small groups of troops slipped away without permission."

"Now the depressed Kong Youde is continuing to rush south with a few thousand men and horses, and at this speed, it is entirely possible for us to catch up with Kong Youde and block Kong Youde's way south." When Liu Yu'er said this important information, she swept away the gloom just now, and looked very energetic.

"Okay." Yuan Chao also came to his senses when he heard the news.

"Kong Youde, I've heard his name for a long time, this time I'm finally going to meet, let's see if you can escape, or I will continue to rewrite history." Yuan Chao clenched his fists and thought to himself.

"The order goes down, the army continues to hurry quickly, and when Kong Youde is defeated, the army will have a three-day holiday and a good rest." Yuan Chao rode on his horse and waved his hand and gave an order.

"Yes." After the letter soldier received the order, he immediately sent an order to all the men.

After hearing the words of the owner, everyone was thinking about how to enjoy the three-day holiday after the battle, and at the same time, they continued to move forward quickly.
