The next night, Lu Xiangsheng began to send Chen Liyuan's Han army away. This is what Chen Liyuan himself requested. He knew that his subordinates had not yet made up their minds, and it was impossible for the Haizhou Guards to rest assured of him, so it was best to go first, when he arrived in Gaizhou, there were more guards, and there were no Houjin soldiers around, so everyone would get along well at that time.

It is not so easy to leave the besieged Haizhou, it is not difficult to have a few people, but the number of Han troops is as high as two thousand, of course, it is impossible to sneak out, and you can only open a bloody road.

If you want to leave Haizhou and go to Gaizhou, of course, you can only go from the south gate, so in the afternoon, the guards suddenly stormed the enemy outside the south gate, first bombarded with artillery, in fact, the main thing was to scare the enemy, and then Du Guangting with an infantry battalion began to attack the enemy below.

Yue Tuo is worried in the camp tent, the siege of the Houjin is not good at it, in the past, either with the absolute superiority of the force to make the defenders unable to cope, or there should be an internal should open the city gate, now both methods are useless, although the number of Houjin troops is more than Haizhou, but the number is limited, and the Liao people in Haizhou are all sent away, and the spies in there are basically not in the city, at this time hearing the news that the guards are attacking the south, he can't help but be overjoyed, he ordered: "They want to escape, let go of a little resistance and let them go." ”

It would be the best thing if the Guards took the initiative to abandon Haizhou, so that the Khan would not blame himself. As soon as the Guards fled, they could pursue by themselves, and then the initiative would be in their own hands, and they could always be captured on the Guards.

The Houjin army in the south began to retreat to both sides after a little resistance, and at this time, Wang Chengmin led the cavalry to start driving out the Houjin army, and Yue Tuo was even more sure that the guards were leaving Haizhou, so he simply let the Houjin army leave the south gate far away.

Chen Liyuan will leave with his men and Qingzhuang, including those who were used as cannon fodder by the Houjin soldiers last time, so that the team will be as high as 5,000 people. Lu Xiangsheng said goodbye to Chen Liyuan outside the city gate and said: "General Chen went directly to Gaizhou, don't worry about the chasing soldiers behind, we are in Haizhou, Jiannu will not dare to chase you, we will be able to meet in Gaizhou in a few days." ”

Chen Liyuan arched his hand and said, "Senior Commander Lu, don't leave it here, there will be a period later." Please rest assured, we will definitely bring something to Gaizhou. ”

It turned out that Lu Xiangsheng asked them to take away the fifteen-pound and twelve-pound guns in the Guards artillery first, because the Guards would seriously affect their mobility if they carried such a big guy in the later breakout. Originally, Sun Fumin, the commander of the artillery battalion, was not very worried about the Han army, but Lu Xiangsheng said: "If you take out the cannon bolt, it will be useless." "Convincing.

The Guards stayed at the South Gate for two hours, and only returned to the city after confirming that the last Han troops to leave had walked twenty miles away. Yue Tuo realized that they were going to escape in batches, and he was happy and worried, happy that they still had to run after all, and worried that the last one left should be the most difficult to deal with, and he didn't know if he could take advantage of it.

On the evening of the third day, the reinforcements of Huang Taiji and Mang Gurtai arrived, and Yue Tuo was a little relieved, but he regretted a little that the Ming army ran away yesterday, but now it is impossible to chase them.

After Huang Taiji and Mang Gurtai asked about the basic situation of Haizhou, Huang Taiji said: "In the end, let them escape, we will chase after them, their formation is chaotic, then there will be no escape." ”

Mang Gurtai didn't see it that way: "There are so many of us now, why don't we break the city in one fell swoop, then they can't escape any of them." ”

Huang Taiji replied: "Fifth brother, it is of course best not to lose our people, if you attack the city, they will definitely resist desperately, and I am afraid that there will be great casualties." ”

Yue Tuo also agreed with Huang Taiji's point of view, although Huang Taiji was the fourth Beile and Mang Gurtai was the third Beile, but Mang Gurtai was usually very obedient to Huang Taiji, so in the end he decided to let the guards escape first, and then kill them by pursuit.

After Lu Xiangsheng saw the reinforcements of the Houjin soldiers, he was secretly glad that he had sent Chen Liyuan and them away yesterday, but he was worried about how the rest of the people could break through.

The congregation began to discuss the ensuing course of action. Du Guangting suggested waiting for reinforcements: "Call the 1st Brigade and the 3rd Brigade, we can fight a tough battle with Jiannu, and let them know that our Guards are not soft soldiers." “

Sun Fumin didn't think so: "The first brigade wants to suppress Gaizhou, and the third brigade will go to Fuzhou, and you have drawn the new land of Fuzhou and Gaizhou, so if there is a change in the two states, our entire division will be explained in southern Liaoning." What's more, it's too late to send people out and call people now, it will take at least four or five days to arrive, and it is impossible for Jiannu not to attack for such a long time. “

The commander of the first battalion said: "Is it possible for Jiannu to let us escape first?" “

Wang Chengmin said: "How is that possible, obviously they have increased so many soldiers now, they can completely knock us down, and will they let us escape?" “

The commander of the first battalion said: "That's not easy to say, now we have no way out, we will definitely defend Haizhou, how many Jiannu will die before it is possible to take Haizhou, do you think they will be willing to die a large number of people just to keep us here?" “

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he remembered what the emperor had said to him, so he smiled and said: "When Camp Commander Song said this, I remembered what the saint said, Jiannu is actually a group of robbers, they want to rob us of things, but if too many people die, in fact, they are also unwilling." I have dealt with this person Yue Tuo, he is not a reckless person, he should think clearly, and he will not rush us. ”

Du Guangting said in surprise: "The division commander means that they will let us go?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng said: "As long as Jiannu does not go crazy, then they will let us go and then chase with cavalry, so that their losses are negligible, so now we have to discuss how to deal with their pursuit." ”

Wang Chengmin perked up: "When we left, the cavalry was last, the infantry and artillery retreated first, and the cavalry waited for the infantry artillery to retreat later, anyway, we ran fast." ”

Immediately, Du Guangting objected: "If the cavalry runs fast, can it run faster than the Jiannu cavalry?" Or the cavalry went first, and then the infantry artillery pressed the formation, so that the Jiannu did not dare to pursue, and if they pursued, the cavalry could also quickly come back to support. ”

Of course, Sun Fubing supported Du Guangting's point of view, and also believed that the cavalry could not be broken, and could only be broken by artillery. In this way, the slaves did not dare to catch up.

Dai Chunfeng thought that he should send someone to inform the receiving troops of the First Brigade and ask them to rush forward for a while, and it was best to ambush Jiannu, so as to break Jiannu's idea of chasing.

All kinds of requests, thank you for your support!
