As Kang Huaizhen said to Li Si'an and the others before, their reinforcements may still be more than a hundred miles away at this time, plus Qin Pei's 20,000 troops are intercepted in the middle, and now is obviously not the best time to break through. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, their camp had already fallen, and without the protection of the camp, it would be even more difficult for the Liang army to break out after dawn tomorrow if they did not break through at night as soon as possible.

As for setting up a position and having a vigorous head-on battle with the Huainan army, that is an idea that only a madman can think of. Not to mention the huge gap in the strength of the two sides, it is the low morale of the Liang army that determines that it is impossible for them to defeat the Huainan army, not to mention that the Suzhou artillery of the Huainan army will definitely continue to exert its power during the day.

So breaking through immediately is the best option.

Kang Huaizhen only thought for a moment and then made up his mind: "All the departments immediately disperse and break through, don't care about the formation, while the Huainan army has not yet surrounded it, everyone should flee for their lives!" ”

Li Si'an was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked: "General, after all, there are more than 20,000 people in our army, can you just run away without fighting?" ”

"If you don't run away directly, will you still stay and send war exploits to the Huainan Army?" Kang Huaizhen snorted coldly.

"That's... At least someone has to stay behind to break the queen, right? Otherwise, the enemy will chase and kill, and no one will be able to escape! ”

Kang Huaizhen nodded and said, "Naturally, someone needs to break off!" ”

He looked at all the generals and saw that none of them had the intention of taking the initiative to stay, so he couldn't help but sigh and said: "Everyone go, the matter after the break will be completed by the general himself!" ”

"What? How can this work? ”

"The general is the commander of the army, how can he personally cut off the queen?"

……

The generals immediately blew up, although they didn't want to stay behind the break, but they didn't want to shirk the heavy responsibility of the break to Kang Huaizhen, after all, Kang Huaizhen was still very good to them as the commander of the army.

"You don't need to say more, the king appointed Ben as the commander of the Eastern Route Army to be in charge of the war on the Haozhou side, but Ben Jiang failed to complete the task assigned by the king; By the time the army was besieged at this point, the king had ordered it to hold out for at least five days, but now it was only one day, and the army was in the current crisis. I am ashamed of the king, so you don't need to persuade you anymore! Kang Huaizhen insisted.

It's not that he is very righteous and wants to stay and cover everyone's escape, but at the beginning, he was too full of words, saying that if he couldn't hold on for even five days, he would rather commit suicide to apologize, so he couldn't get off the stage at this time. In addition, at this time, everyone's morale was not high, and if no one took the initiative to break the queen, even if he forcibly appointed one, it would be of little use, so he used this method to stimulate the fighting spirit of his generals.

Fortunately, he has been in the army for many years, and he also has some powerful cronies under him, who stand up to help him shirk at this time, and another general named Huang Shao offered to replace him to break the queen, while other generals proposed that the army is still in danger and needs Kang Huaizhen, the commander, to lead them to break through.

Kang Huaizhen breathed a sigh of relief.

After arranging the broken generals, Kang Huaizhen left Huang Shao with 5,000 infantry, and led the other soldiers to break through to the west.

However, in addition to this army responsible for the break, there is also an army that remains.

"General Gao, after a while, I will lead the main force to break through and attract the attention of the enemy, and you must stay and find a way to destroy the enemy's gunpowder, it is best to get some gunpowder back to study, if you can't do it, then at least destroy the enemy's Suzhou artillery, otherwise not only our army will be in danger, but the king's army will also be in danger." So this task is crucial, and you must complete it! ”

Thinking that Kang Huaizhen suddenly called him aside to whisper, Gao Jingsi subconsciously clenched his fists.

Suzhou artillery and gunpowder are the two things that the Huainan army values the most, and the various guarding forces must be very strong, and the difficulty of destroying them is tantamount to suicide.

Fortunately, Kang Huaizhen has not completely lost his mind, and the reason why he asked Gao Jingsi to be in charge of this task is because Gao Jingsi is a cavalry general, responsible for commanding more than 1,000 cavalry accompanying the army.

With the strong mobility of the cavalry, coupled with the cover of the night, there is still a certain possibility of successfully completing the mission.

In addition, because the main force of the Liang army was either defeated or broke through with all its might, the Huainan army would definitely lower its vigilance as a result, which made their chances of success a little greater.

Gao Jingsi repeatedly calculated in his heart, he knew that the Huainan Army must still be very heavily guarded at this time, so he did not do it at this time, but quietly went around the rear of the Huainan Army five miles to hide under the cover of night, and he personally took a few scouts back to check outside the Huainan Army camp.

"Before dawn, it must be the time when the Huainan Army is at its lowest vigilance, and at that time, the main force of the Huainan Army must have gone to hunt down our army, and there will definitely not be many people left to watch the family, so the opportunity for this general is at that time!"

Gao Jingsi's face was resolute, there was no emotion fluctuation on his face, even when he saw that the broken Liang army was besieged by several times the Huainan army, his expression did not change in the slightest.

Another half an hour passed, and the broken 5,000 Liang army had already been defeated by the Huainan army, except for a few people who escaped under the cover of night, most of them were either killed or surrendered directly to the Huainan army.

In general, the performance of the Liang army after staying after the break this time is still very good, and they have persisted for so long without seeing the slightest hope, and this kind of performance is worthy of their status as an elite in a hundred battles.

After eliminating the broken Liang army, Yang Wu asked all the troops who had participated in the siege just now to stay and recuperate, and let the other nearly 40,000 troops who had not participated in the battle just now begin to pursue the Liang army.

This place is still more than a hundred miles away from Shouzhou, no matter how much Liang Jun can escape, it is impossible to escape to Shouzhou in one night, plus there is Qin Pei's obstruction in the middle, it is not so easy for Liang Jun to escape.

Therefore, Yang Wu was not in a hurry at all, but ordered the remaining troops to enter the camp built by the Liang army and start to rest, and it was not too late to launch a pursuit after resting.

"Again, all ministries should continue to be vigilant, the more this kind of big victory, the more we can't take it lightly, and no one can slack off until the war is completely over!" Yang Wu exhorted his generals.

In the first battle, 50,000 enemy troops were defeated, and it was also 50,000 elite Liang troops, and the generals who stayed were a little excited, and one of the generals also proposed to celebrate well, but naturally they were reprimanded by Yang Wu fiercely.

However, although Yang Wu reprimanded the general who proposed to celebrate, his heart was still relatively relaxed, now the reinforcements of the Liang army were still a hundred miles away, and Kang Huaizhen's troops were defeated by himself, and now they are busy escaping, so there should be no danger in this vicinity.

After being excited for a while, he felt very tired, after all, he was in a hurry a few days ago, and after the Liang army was on the line, he launched an attack without much rest.

"Lone go take a rest first, if there is anything important, remember to wake up Lone!" Yang Wu told Cheng Xun, the commander of his guards, to go back to his camp to rest, and soon fell asleep.

"Military discipline is so strict, no wonder we can defeat our army!"

Outside the camp, seeing that the team in charge of the inspection of the Huainan Army was still very tight, Gao Jingsi sighed in his heart.

However, it is not impossible to destroy the Suzhou artillery and even gunpowder of the Huainan army, the Huainan army stationed the main force of the army into the camp of the Liang army, but perhaps because of negligence, their Suzhou artillery is still displayed outside the camp, and there are only thousands of troops nearby to protect it.

As for the Huainan cavalry, because it was not very suitable for cavalry action at night, the cavalry remained in the camp, but the soldiers were resting on the side and did not maintain vigilance.

All this shows that the Huainan army was indeed a little negligent after a big victory, and this was their chance.

"Wait a little longer, there should be a better chance!" Gao Jingsi thought in his heart.

Yang Wu may be really tired, this sleep is a little heavy, in a daze, he heard a noise outside, and then there was a sound of fighting.

"What happened?" Yang Wu woke up in shock and quickly got up and prepared to go out to have a look.

At this time, Cheng Xun came in and said, "Your Highness, there is a Liang army attacking the camp!" ”

"Where did Liang Jun come from? How many people are there? What are the casualties of our army? Yang Wu was shocked and hurriedly asked.

"The number of enemy troops is not large, only about a thousand, but they are all cavalry, and the attack happened too suddenly, and everyone was not prepared, as a result..."

"The result?" Yang Wu already had a premonition that something was wrong, and he himself had relaxed his vigilance a little before, not to mention the soldiers below, who were attacked by the enemy, and he was afraid that the loss would not be small.

"As a result, more than 20 Suzhou guns of our army were burned by the enemy!"

Yang Wu's face sank, "What about the remaining flowering bombs?" ”

"Your Highness, rest assured, those flowering shells will be transferred to the camp after use, and the enemy will not be able to destroy them!"

Yang Wu breathed a sigh of relief, he could still build it again after the Suzhou cannon was destroyed, it would just take a little time, but if the remaining flowering shells were destroyed by the enemy, then it would take a long time to make so many flowering shells, and it would have to be made in Guangling, and it would probably not be used when dealing with Zhu Quanzhong next.

"And what about the other losses? What are the casualties of our army? ”

"The casualties are not known yet, but the five thousand soldiers who are responsible for guarding the Suzhou artillery are a little chaotic after being raided, but I am afraid that the losses will not be small!"

"Destroy this cavalry with all your might, and don't let them escape. Plus, get your army ready, it's time to continue the pursuit of the enemy! Yang Wu didn't blame anyone, after all, even he himself was a little lax.

This time was a lesson for both him and the other Huainan generals, and he had to remember it well. But now is not the time to pursue that.
