Since the army was sent to Wuhu, Guo Shicong has been hit again and again, from the confidence when he first sent out the army to the anxiety later, and then to the panic after the active assault was defeated that night, and now he is completely collapsed, and he only wants to flee for his life.

But the more he tried to run for his life, the more panicked he became, and the more prone he was to make mistakes. After ordering his subordinates not to resist and break through the siege just now, Shen Yingjie still had to speak out to dissuade him, wanting Guo Shicong to leave a group of people behind, but who knew that Guo Shicong would let Shen Yingjie stay, and there were less than 500 soldiers left for him, which made him angry in his heart.

Shen Yingjie is at the level of a commander, but he is only in charge of a thousand troops. Along the way, although he kept making suggestions to Guo Shicong and wanted to avoid defeat, Guo Shicong did not trust him and did not pay much attention to his suggestions. At this time, he still wanted to let him lead only 500 people, which was no different from letting him stay and die.

As a result, after Shen Yingjie returned to the 1,000 soldiers under his command, he ordered the surrender of the Huainan Army, and in turn helped the Huainan Army to hunt down and kill the soldiers of Guo's master.

……

Half an hour later, the whole battlefield was quiet, Guo Shicong still failed to escape in the end, and more than 2,500 of his 3,000 soldiers were captured in the end, and more than 300 people were killed, and less than 200 escaped. At this point, the 5,000 troops brought by Guo Shi from Wuhu have been completely wiped out.

"Shizi, we finally annihilated Guo Shifu, and also annihilated Zhang Jiasheng's 3,000 reinforcements by the way, and the prestige of Shizi will spread throughout the entire Jiangnan after this battle!" Hou Zan rode over to congratulate him.

This is just the beginning, Tian Yan was fierce at the beginning, and the generals under his command also supported him in his rebellion, all he wanted was to be promoted to get rich and rich. Now that the Xuanzhou army is retreating one after another, the gas has been exhausted, and it was only one general of Leyi who surrendered before, and it will not be long before other generals under Tian Yan's command will surrender one after another. At that time, that was the time when Tian Yan was defeated! ”

"Clean up the battlefield quickly, have a good rest tonight, and let's set off early tomorrow morning and rush to Guangde as soon as possible."

"In such a hurry? Didn't we all defeat Master Guo? Why not take a few days off? Hou Zan asked with some surprise.

During this time, they were running back and forth, and they were tired enough, at this time the soldiers could still hold on, but they sat down on the horses but some couldn't hold on, and many of the cavalry's mounts were foaming at the mouth and died in today's charge, which made Hou Zan feel distressed.

"Time waits for no one. The decisive battle between Tian Yan and General Tai is about to start in these two days, we must rush over as soon as possible, otherwise the cavalry under Tian Yan will be difficult to deal with! ”

"And what about these captives?"

"Let Le Yi lead his troops to stay and watch the captives. His command is all infantry, and we are all cavalry, so they can rush to Guangde as soon as possible. ”

Runzhou.

An Renyi and Zhang Hao stood on the city tower, looking at the camp of the Huainan soldiers under the city with a worried face.

On the way back to Runzhou, although An Renyi and Zhang Hao were at odds, the two secretly calculated that the army was defeated and almost wiped out on the battlefield. However, during this time, with the siege of the Huainan army, the two worked together, although there was still intrigue, but they also cooperated with each other in defending the city.

The Huainan army outside the city was led by Wang Maozhang, although this Huainan fierce general had a higher official position, but he was only a junior general among the many commanders in Huainan, and he had no merit except for the luck of breaking through Huzhou last year, so An Renyi and the others still had some contempt for him in their hearts.

Just ten days ago, An Renyi personally led the army out of the city, wanting to take advantage of the opportunity of Yang Wu to take away the main force of Huainan to defeat Wang Maozhang in one fell swoop, not wanting Wang Maozhang to pretend to be defeated, but secretly set up an ambush, and when An Renyi led the army to pursue, the ambush suddenly broke out, and An Renyi was defeated.

However, in that defeat, An Renyi also lost more than 3,000 people, and now there are less than 5,000 defenders in the entire Runzhou. An Renyi ordered to recruit strong men in the city to defend the city, but at this time, both officials and ordinary people in the city could see that An Renyi was gone, so no strong men went to recruit.

Annoyed and angry, An Renyi ordered a forced conscription, but was fiercely resisted by the people in the city, and had to transfer troops to suppress it, and slaughtered many people to be able to suppress the people, but the conscription matter was finally over.

Outside the city, Wang Maozhang built a large number of siege equipment, and dozens of Suzhou guns lined up outside the city to bombard the city wall day and night, smashing Runzhou City to the ground. Fortunately, An Renyi's craftsmen also knew the technology of making Suzhou cannons, and they also built some Suzhou cannons in the city to fight against them outside the city.

In the past 20 days, Wang Maozhang launched several sieges without success, but the defenders of Runzhou also suffered heavy losses.

"An Envoy Jun, the last general heard that the battle situation on Xuanzhou Tian Envoy Jun's side is unfavorable, and he has been defeated one after another, and our side is also besieged by enemy legions, so we must find a way to break the deadlock."

Zhang Hao used to be a little fat, and his face was full of horizontal meat, but in just over a month, he has already lost a lot of weight, obviously due to hard work.

"What are you afraid of, Runzhou City is a high wall, and it is impossible for the enemy army to collapse the city wall by relying on Suzhou artillery bombardment. Moreover, there was plenty of food and grass in the city, enough for the army to feed for two years. Wang Maozhang can't attack in a short time, and after a long time, the king of Liang in the north will definitely go south, and Qian Di, Zhong Chuan and other feudal towns will also take advantage of the situation, as long as we hold on to that time, there will still be hope. An Renyi said firmly.

Now he no longer has hope for Tian Yanbao, since Tian Yan raised troops to raid Shengzhou, Shengzhou City, Jiyangji, Guangde, three battles and three defeats, especially the battle of Guangde, Tian Yan personally led the 20,000 troops were defeated, Tian Yan himself could only flee with hundreds of cavalry in embarrassment. In this case, An Renyi and others naturally no longer pinned their hopes on Tian Yan.

At this time, the war drums beat in the Huainan military camp outside the city, and a group of soldiers left the camp and began to line up, and the soldiers who were responsible for operating the trebuchet also began to push the trebuchet down the city.

"It seems that Wang Maozhang is going to launch a new round of attack again! However, his methods have long been seen through by the general, and every time the trebuchet bombards the infantry and the infantry rushes and the infantry rushes and bombards again. Wang Maozhang has no other way than this tactic! Ben will only need to deal with it well, what can I do? An Renyi sneered.

"The general should not underestimate the enemy, you see, this time all the enemy troops in the camp have been dispatched, obviously the scale of this attack is not trivial, the general is better to be careful." Zhang Hao pointed to Wang Maozhang's Daying Road.

In the past, Wang Maozhang would leave some people to guard the camp every time he attacked, obviously it was only a tentative attack, but this time the whole army went out of the camp to line up, which should be a real move.

"Well, get everyone ready. General Zhang, the enemy is going to bombard Suzhou again, let's go to a safe place to hide first! ”
