After all, Xu Juan and Xu Zaisi have been on the battlefield for a long time, and they know that the top priority is to escape from the enemy's encirclement, and the first thing to do to escape from the encirclement is to break through Zhu Siqing's defense line, so that the amputated front and rear parts can be reconnected.

However, it was not so easy to quickly break through Zhu Siqing's defensive line, in the rear, Xu Zaisi led his subordinates to attack desperately, not caring about their own casualties at all, giving Zhu Siqing a lot of pressure; But the previous Xu Wanbu did not give enough help.

Different from Xu Zaisi's situation, Xu Juan was facing more than 10,000 Huainan troops who were frantically attacking, and he had to concentrate all his forces to defend, where was there any extra troops to cooperate with Xu Zaisi to attack Zhu Siqing. In this way, the situation on the battlefield became that Xu Juan alone resisted the attack of more than 10,000 Huainan troops; However, Xu Zaisi could only use 3,000 people to attack Zhu Siqing's defense line with the same force, so it was naturally impossible to make a breakthrough in a short period of time.

Xu Juan spat hard, and roared wildly: "Beat the drum, line up to defend ......"

The war drums remembered that some of the soldiers recovered from the chaos and began to move closer to Xu Juan's banner, but the soldiers of Wuyongdu were not famous for their battle formations, so more soldiers were still in chaos, and the officers could not find the soldiers under their command, and the soldiers could not find their respective officers, so they fought separately.

"The archers are in the center, the sword and shield hands are outside, and the formation is ......" Xu Juan looked at the soldiers who were still in confusion, knowing that he couldn't count on them anymore, so he immediately let the soldiers gathered around start to form a formation.

In the distance, Yang Wu was also constantly giving orders, trying to eliminate Xu Xuan's five thousand people as soon as possible.

"Qin Pei, you go to the right side of the battlefield, and all our troops on the right side of Xu Xuan's department will be commanded by you."

"Mi Zhicheng, you go to the left side of the battlefield, and all our troops on the left side of Xu Xuan's department are under your command."

"General Tai, you are in charge of the command of the middle lane."

"Don't worry about casualties, crush the enemy's resistance as soon as possible!"

At this time of the battle, both sides were actually a little chaotic, the chaos of the Huainan army was not much better than that of Wu Yongdu, many soldiers were also fighting on their own, and the left and right wings demarcated at the beginning of the war were also mixed together at this time, so Yang Wu could only give general instructions when he gave orders.

However, compared with Xu Xuan, the advantage of the Huainan army is that they have the dominance of the war and surround the enemy to the death, so their morale is even higher, and they have broken out more powerful combat effectiveness than usual, plus their strength is twice that of the enemy, which makes their advantage more and more obvious.

In the rear, when Tian Yan learned that the pursuing troops in front of him had been ambushed and cut into two sections by the enemy, he only felt a black in front of him, and then his face flushed, and he yelled and ordered Liu Ding to hurry up to meet him, hoping that he could still perform as well as before.

However, to Tian Yan's disappointment, after a morning of fierce fighting, Liu Dingbu, who had pursued all the way with Wu Yongdu, was already exhausted.

If the battle situation in front of them at this time is that Wu Yongdu defeated the Huainan army, then these soldiers can still fight forward with all their strength to chase and kill; But at this time, seeing that the martial arts in front of him were ambushed and surrounded by the enemy, the soldiers under Liu Ding's command were naturally frightened, did not dare to step forward, and did not have the strength to continue to move forward.

Many soldiers threw down their weapons and sat on the ground reluctant to get up, while some soldiers did not throw down their weapons, but they were also looking left and right, as if they were worried that there were ambushes around them and suddenly killed.

"Kill it, there are only 3,000 people blocking our army, as long as we break through the defense line of these 3,000 people, we can pick up General Xu and them, there is still hope for victory!" Liu Ding said loudly to his subordinates.

"General, the brothers have been fighting all morning and can't run for a long time, and we have lost this battle today, so let's save some strength and flee quickly." One of them shouted loudly.

"Yes, the people of Wuyongdu ran fast when they chased before, and we couldn't catch up with their speed at all; Now the distance between us and the battlefield has been widened by more than a mile, and when we rush over, I am afraid that General Xu will be wiped out. Let's not go to death, let's retreat as soon as the enemy army doesn't come. The other nodded.

As the so-called catastrophe comes, they fly separately, and these generals were originally dissatisfied with the style of Wu Yongdu's flying and domineering, and at this time, the eyes of each of the leaders flickered, and they were unwilling to step forward to meet Xu Juan and them.

"This is an order given by the marshal himself, do you dare to disobey the order?" Liu Ding said angrily.

"Why did General Liu use the commander to press us, it's not that the last general and others disobeyed the order, but everyone is really exhausted, if you don't take a break, you will go up and fight, it will definitely be sent to death."

Liu Ding was stunned, but no matter how he urged, several leaders were reluctant to move, and waited until Tian Yan arrived in person, and these leaders reluctantly led the troops forward, but they were also slow to act, and it took a long time to rush to the battlefield to join Xu Zaisi.

However, the battle situation at this time was already doomed, after Zhu Siqing withstood Xu Zaisi's first wave of attacks, it became easier and easier to deal with it later, after all, his subordinates were full of energy, while Xu Zaisi's martial arts soldiers were tired after a long battle.

At the other end of the battlefield, there were less than 2,000 of the 5,000 people under Xu Juan's command at this time, and they were all the soldiers who had heard the war drums gathered around Xu Juan's banner to form a formation, and those soldiers who were still in chaos had been wiped out by the Huainan Army.

At this time, Yang Wu was not in a hurry to eliminate Xu Juan's troops who were surrounded by regiments, but asked Li Decheng to lead 2,000 people to join Zhu Siqing, completely cutting off the hope of the Xuanzhou army to open a road and join Xu Juan.

At the same time, Yang Wu asked Qin Pei and the others to adjust their formations, ending the previous situation of fighting separately, and let those exhausted soldiers take turns to rest and recover their strength.

Looking at the further strengthened defense line of Zhu Siqing's department, Tian Yan couldn't help but feel pained, even if he still had illusions at this time, he had to make a rational decision.

Go on the offensive? Obviously, there is not much hope of breaking through the defense line to rescue Xu Juan, and if the Huainan Army fully recovers, then it will not be a question of Xu Juan's annihilation, but a question of whether he can escape back to Xuanzhou alive.

However, it was too unwilling to give up, Xu Juan's Wuyongdu soldiers were the most elite soldiers under him, and after losing them, only Liu Ding's old and weak were left in his hands. What's more, after Le Yi led his troops to surrender to Yang Wu a few days ago, at this time, it was Xu Juan and Xu Zaisi who could make him trust him more.

"Jie Shuai, withdraw! Taking advantage of the fact that the enemy army had not completely eliminated Xu Xuan, he hurriedly withdrew to Xuanzhou with the rest of the army to hold on, waiting for the situation to change. On the side, seeing that Tian Yan was still a little hesitant, Shen Wenchang hurriedly persuaded.

"Stick to Xuanzhou? How long can Xuanzhou hold on? Tian Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly.
