Kong Youde's escape plan this time did not set up an obstruction under the city wall to obstruct the pursuit of the official army, not because of Kong Youde's strategic mistakes, but because Kong Youde clearly realized that at this time, he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to mobilize any troops to resist the pursuit of the official army under the city.

Even if the last unit was forcibly set up to block the officers and troops under the city, then if there was no mistake, eighty percent of this force would temporarily turn against the water and defect to the officers and soldiers.

Therefore, Kong Youde simply stopped setting up blocking troops and retreated with all his men and horses, betting that the army in the city was beaten by him and had no idea of pursuing.

However, Kong Youde should not have attracted Zhu Wannian and killed Zhu Wannian.

If Kong Youde hadn't angered the officials and soldiers in the city so much, this retreat, even if one or two generals wanted to go out of the city to pursue, they would have to make great efforts to persuade other colleagues, so most of them might have been in a state of grinding their teeth, watching Kong Youde flee far away.

This time Kong Youde killed Zhu Wannian, which attracted the hatred of the officials and soldiers in the city, and they wanted to kill him immediately, so this time the officials and soldiers did not have any sluggishness, and after seeing that Kong Youde really fled, the officials and troops in the entire city immediately sent three thousand elites out of the city to pursue.

This time, Kong Youde didn't care too much, where did he have any thoughts of turning back and defeating the official army, he just wanted to hurry up, jump out of the encirclement of the official army, and go to the south to make a comeback.

However, although Kong Youde's idea is very good, Yuan Chao and Xie Lian did not agree to Kong Youde's idea this time.

Kong Youde fled south, followed by Xie Lian. And Yuan Chao, who had been rushing to Laizhou, heard the report from Tanmalai, saying that Kong Youde had abandoned Laizhou and fled to the south.

A good show of chasing me was staged in Shandong.

When Kong Youde ran away at first, he also carried heavy cannons, rations and ordnance.

But not long after he ran, he found that there were officers and soldiers in the city chasing after him.

Folded to make Kong Youde's teeth itch, there is no way but to gradually abandon the baggage.

At first, they abandoned some of the large ordnance, and finally they began to abandon the cannons they relied on the most.

The whole army carried nothing but a small amount of rations.

And Xie Lian's department here is full of ninjas who are angry and want to catch up with Kong Youde to take revenge, so they are all in a hurry, and they also ignore the ordnance and artillery abandoned along the way.

In Xie Lian's hot pursuit, Kong Youde's rebels couldn't eat well or sleep.

Just about to bury the pot to make rice, I heard that the officers and soldiers had arrived, and I was about to rest by the side of the road for a while, when I heard that the officers and soldiers had been killed.

This kind of crisis of being caught up by the official army anytime and anywhere has always wiped out the morale of the rebels.

Many of the rebel officers, including those in the rebels, grew tired of escaping and began to think of other ways.

Slowly, the rebel soldiers, who were initially in pairs, began to disappear into the group.

Gradually, small groups began to flee, fleeing to both sides of the army, unwilling to follow Kong Youde in rebellion.

Kong Youde also gradually found that his team had been attrition, although he repeatedly ordered the generals to restrain their subordinates, and it was the vision of the feudal officials to make a wish after a pass, but it was still unable to avoid the attrition of the army.

"Kong Dashuai, I just went around the team, and the situation is very bad." This time, it was Li Jiucheng muttering on the side.

"Tell me more about it." Kong Youde in front of him, his face was full of sadness, and there was still a trace of the brilliance of Dengzhou when he was defeated.

"My lord, just now I walked around the marching procession and found that the team was in extremely poor condition."

"We have been retreating south for a day, and during this day, the officers and soldiers have made it impossible for us to eat or sleep."

"Many of the brothers now don't even have a mouthful of food, and they don't have any fighting power at all."

"What's even more terrifying is that when we retreated south, there were more than 10,000 brothers, I looked around just now, and now it is estimated that there are not even 10,000, that is to say, in this day's time, even if we get rid of the stragglers, we will have to run away about 2,000 people privately, this number of escapes is too terrible, if it continues like this, we don't have to fight, and we will run away by ourselves." Li Jiucheng reported to Kong Youde about the situation of this day.

Kong Youde's heart sank even more when he heard this.

I thought the current situation was very bad, but I didn't expect the timing to be worse than I expected.

"Ninety percent, this is really not a way, you can tell me, what other good way do we have." Kong Youde was originally a person with a lot of ideas, but at this time, his mind was very chaotic, and he wanted Li Jiucheng to help him analyze it.

"Kong Shuai, there is nothing to say about the current situation, if we continue to run, at most for three more days, the army will inevitably be dragged down." Li Jiucheng also looked left and right, and after finding that there was no one else, he lowered his voice and said to Kong Youde.

Kong Youde rode on his horse, closed his eyes, thought about what Li Jiucheng said just now, and pondered the situation in front of him.

"Well, ninety percent, what you said is right, it seems that if the army continues to run, it will really break itself."

"I also see that the only way at the moment is to set up an ambush and hurt the tightest heels of the officers and soldiers who came out of the city."

"Only by hurting them can we win a precious respite and deter the pursuit of other officers and soldiers." At this time, after analyzing the situation, Kong Youde came to the decision that he had to go back and fight.

After listening to this, Li Jiucheng also nodded, which is also what Li Jiucheng wanted to say.

After that, Kong Youde convened the generals to discuss the matter.

The generals rode on horses and discussed with Kong Youde all the way.

Kong Youde glanced over and found that several generals had disappeared, and at this time, Kong Youde and the other generals also tacitly kept silent, after all, they didn't want to say that it was a serious matter of the large army escaping to hurt the fragile morale.

"Ladies and gentlemen, looking at your tired appearance, I also know that you should be like me, you haven't had a good rest for a day."

"This is all thanks to the pursuers behind us, if we want to win a chance to breathe, there is no other way but to set up an ambush, and then quickly defeat the officers and troops, and then we can take a breath and retreat to the south." Kong Youde also didn't say anything verbose, and directly stated the purpose of gathering everyone this time.

When the other generals heard Kong Youde's words, some nodded in agreement, some shook their heads secretly, and more were expressionless and looked like they no longer cared.

Kong Youde saw the reaction of his subordinates, and he also shook his head secretly, it seems that he can only finish this battle with a good supervision, or it is estimated that three days will be optimistic.
