Kunshou led the main force of the Eighth Association to rush into Chuzhou, and Dayou and Xu Shuanglai together could immediately reverse the trend of the crisis, but they didn't expect that it was just a dying struggle, and the three main regiments of Tan Shaoguang's teaching brigade were like three sharp swords, which were fiercely killed by Nanlu in Langxie Mountain. They successively broke through the two lines of defense of the Qing army and completely opened up the connection with Zhang Lexing's camp.

Not only that, but under the echo of Lin Qirong of Dingyuan City in the north, the Shengbao army has since been cut into three pieces.

The defensive line north of Furukawa, which was broken through by the Red Army Teaching Brigade, was Ruilin's men. The large battalion guarded by more than 6,000 people was not only the force he used to try to cooperate with the head-on containment of Zhang Lexing's difficulty in rescuing Chaohu, but also the barrier to protect his back road. It was the only way he could get all the supplies. Therefore, even though Chuzhou has been hot, Ruilin is not moved at all.

First of all, he didn't believe that Xu Shuanglai from Chuzhou would be so cowardly. Secondly, the battlefield has now shown a situation where there is me in the enemy, there is an enemy in me, and the battle lines cross each other, and Shengbao is still insisting on his strategy, that is, he must take Chaohu, so it seems that it is more important to be able to retain his connection with the main force of the northern front. Another point is that despite being hit twice and losing the loyalty and righteousness of the two associations, Ruilin still didn't feel how bad the overall shape would be, after all, they still had a numerical advantage in terms of the total number of troops invested on the battlefield.

Now it has changed, it took a lot of effort, countless soldiers and generals were killed and wounded, and the last Xiezhong Yi rescued ** in his hand was beaten to a semi-crippled, Ruilin finally "broke through" Chaohu, but at this time he received the defeat report that the back road was cut off. Looking at the Chaohu Lake in his hand, he actually had a desolate feeling.

Liu Naixin can be said to have done his best in Chaohu, with nearly 20,000 men and horses, and there are less than 5,000 people who have followed him so far, but he can block Ruilin, who has foreign guns and cannons, and has the advantage, outside Chaohu City for more than ten days. If Wei Changhui hadn't thought of him again, he could have become a hero.

It's a pity that Wei Changhui can't do without him.

When he learned that the Northern King was going back to Tianjing, Liu Nai forgot about the responsibility he should bear for the Celestial Empire, and finally chose to give up Chaohu, which finally fulfilled one of Ruilin's dreams.

Ruilin got Chaohu, and although it had lost the meaning it had played in the past, he got the food, grass and gunpowder he wanted most. It was the acquisition of these life-saving materials that allowed him to rely on Chaohu Lake and begin to look for a way back to the north, which also delayed the time limit for his downfall.

The emergency military report north of the ancient river temporarily stopped the retaliatory anger that the Qing army had already burned in Chaohu, and they turned around and began to pounce northward again. However, they hit the wall.

Tan Shaoguang commanded the two regiments of the teaching brigade and Zhang Lexing's department, forming an insurmountable chasm in front of Ruilin, blocking Ruilin's way. The choice between life and death turned into a contest of blood and fire on the battlefield.

Behind them, they suddenly wedged between the Shengbao army and Chuzhou, and the Wu Ruxiao regiment and the brigade directly under the command of Pan Qiliang were even more under the counterattack of the Qing army from the front and rear directions.

For Katsuho and Mi Liuxin, the sky has now fallen. Miao Peilin of Huaibei defected, and the long-haired light yì earned their Shouzhou nest, and retreat became their only choice.

Katsuho no longer has the pride he used to have, and is completely in chaos, according to his thoughts, it is the best strategy to run with his feet pulled, and it is a dangerous thing to run a minute late.

The consultant is a consultant in the end, and Mi Liuxin is indeed much stronger than Shengbao. He did not convey what was happening behind him, but as if nothing had happened, he sent out the green battalion soldiers and horses step by step to deal with the critical situation. Only then did he withdraw and recuperate, and he originally wanted to continue to devote himself to the last half of the Luzhou battle, and withdrew his headquarters to the west. He had to pass through Lu'an first, join Fuji, the governor of Anhui who was still attacking Lu'an City, and then withdraw to Xinyang in Henan together.

No matter how smart Mi Liuxin was, he didn't dare to flee north, not only did he not dare, but for the sake of their westward retreat, he also had to transfer part of his troops to prevent the Heavenly Army that might be heading south.

There is indeed a heavenly army that went directly south, and that is Miao Peilin who still wants to show Xiàn again. However, after taking Shouzhou, the Red University Army and Zeng Tianyang's main force had already taken advantage of the victory to capture Zhengyang Pass again, and killed them on their way to Henan. At the same time, Shi Xiangzhen's Red Fourth Army did not attack Xiangyang as Mianxun was frightened, but recovered Xinyang like lightning.

Shengbao and Mi Liuxin have long been cornered.

When Lin Haifeng saw Wei Zheng, whose head was wrapped in a blood-soaked white cloth, but had never left the Luzhou City Defense Headquarters that he had held on for half a step, most of the Qing army had been expelled from the city. The leader fled without a trace, and the Qing army began to fall into unprecedented chaos.

Wei Changhui is not in Luzhou? Lin Haifeng listened to Wei Zheng's simple narration, and his heart was cold.

"How's it going, is your body still able to eat?" Seeing Wei Zheng's nonchalant smile, Lin Haifeng patted him on the shoulder, "Good job!" The Qing army has begun to retreat on all fronts, and you quickly send someone to inform the two armies in Lu'an, and follow the Qing army that is pursuing and fleeing to the west. Except for a part of the men and horses left here to clean up the inside and outside of the city, the rest of the troops went all out to the east to surround the remnants of the Qing army that were still resisting and eliminate them. ”

Between Luzhou, Chaohu and Chuzhou, three major battlefields have been formed.

The tens of thousands of green battalion soldiers east of Luzhou who tried to cross the defense line of Lin Qirong and Pan Qiliang and open up contact with Chuzhou were unable to advance and had no way to retreat when they learned that Luzhou was defeated and that the whereabouts of Shengbao and other officials were unknown.

Pan Qiliang and Wu Ruxiao, who had removed the pressure, were driven out of Chuzhou City again with the strong cooperation of Lin Qirong's troops, and they didn't know the real battle situation in the direction of Luzhou at all, and Xu Shuanglai and Kunshou, who desperately wanted to flee west, were blocked in the wilderness outside Chuzhou City.

From the ancient river to the east bank of Chaohu Lake, the flames of war burned from early morning to dusk. Ruilin shot all his foreign artillery shells, and the chamber of the gun that saved the ** soldier became empty, but he still couldn't tear through the steel defense line blocking the front.

Looking at the generals who were gradually discouraged, Ruilin's eyes were red. Since he came here, he has abandoned the habit of always setting up a camp first, just to give the soldiers below a belief in a battle. He understood that if he couldn't fight his way out of the hot iron, after one night, the defense line in front of him would become even more impassable, and then he could only retreat back to Chaohu. After returning to Chaohu, it is not difficult for him to imagine what awaits him.

Therefore, he began to avoid the defensive zone of the two regiments of the Teaching Brigade, concentrated the artillery fire, including the capture of Chaohu, and personally went out into battle, determined to launch a desperate assault on Zhang Lexing's camp.

Looking at the brutal sight of the right flank being burned red by heavy artillery fire, Tan Shaoguang had no choice. In order to give full play to the combat effectiveness of the 1st Regiment, the 2nd Regiment, and the Special Service Battalion, he allocated all the ammunition reserves on hand to them.

"Brigadier Commander, you called me?" Ye Yunlai ran over panting, the hat in his hand wiped on his face covered with mud and sweat.

"The battle is almost over, and now is the most critical moment." Tan Shaoguang pointed in the direction of the flaming battlefield, "Qing Demon This is the last madness, it seems that it is difficult for Zhang Lexing and them to withstand this blow." They have been holding out here for more than ten days, and they have reached the extreme in terms of both human and material resources. ”

"Say, brigade commander, did you tell us to go for reinforcements?" Ye Yunlai buttoned his hat to his head, and then pulled out his chest.

"It's not the best idea to stick to it." Tan Shaoguang looked at Ye Yunlai, "The defense line of your regiment is replaced by a battalion sent by the fourth regiment, and your regiment will immediately rush up from the side to give the Qing demon a fatal blow, and tell them that we are not only blocking them here, but also fully capable of eating them and telling them to go back honestly." ”

Ye Yunlai smiled, "Don't worry, brigade commander, this is our forte, and we promise to convey the brigade commander's orders to Ruilin." ”

In the night, more than 1,000 iron cavalry went around the position, and after a simple and dull killing, they quickly broke through the cordon set up by the Qing army in front of the position, and in front of the panicked enemy army, they swept by, like black lightning appeared on the side of the Qing army attack force on the left flank.

"For the sake of the Celestial Empire, forward!" The passionate charge and Ye Yunlai's shouts sounded almost at the same time. Ye Yunlai didn't directly attack the Qing army that was roaring forward on the opposite side, he stared at a black phalanx behind the Qing army. He knew that it was the enemy's concentrated reserve, and from the fire from the muzzle, he could clearly see that there was still the enemy's artillery there. According to the usual practice, there must be a great general of the Qing army around it, and maybe there is Ruilin inside. As long as they are scattered first, the Qing army attacking in front will be in chaos without a fight.

Ye Yunlai took the lead, and before the Qing army could react, he took his rolling iron cavalry into the Qing army formation that was still waiting for the order to attack.

The flying sabers swept away the original neat formation of the Qing army, and blew through the artillery positions of the Qing army like a whirlwind......

Hearing the sudden sparse artillery fire of the Qing army, Tan Shaoguang knew that it was Ye Yunlai's three regiments that had already fought with the enemy. He waved his hand vigorously at the trumpeters who had already prepared around him, "Blow the trumpet and fight back on all fronts!" ”

In the same "For the sake of the Celestial Empire, forward!" With a thunderous shout, the two battalions of the Fourth Regiment flew over the trench with iron hooves and rushed towards the Qing army on the opposite side.

Zhang Lexing's troops, who were already in danger, saw that the Qing army was in chaos under the sudden blow of the Red Army of the Celestial Empire, and they also lost no time in rushing out of the Leying fortress and throwing themselves into a counterattack on all fronts.

As Ye Yunlai guessed, Ruilin was behind the Qing army array he attacked, but unfortunately, he didn't find Ruilin. However, Ruilin did see him, and he also saw the rolling iron streams that followed him with no end in sight.

Ruilin was scared. In the night, he could not guess how many cavalry of his opponent were in this sudden wind, and the rumbling hooves of horses and the deafening sound of trumpets made his heart tremble. There was only one way for him, and despite his extreme reluctance, he had to do it.

"Back to Chaohu Lake." He groaned helplessly and gave his order.
