Liu Xilin led his troops out of the Chu Palace, and the last bit of fighting spirit of Chen Hansan's defenders in Xuzhou City collapsed.

The defenders of the eastern city beheaded their subordinates, and the rest knelt down. The defenders of Xicheng and Nancheng abandoned the city tower and fled in the direction of Quanshan and Tongshan counties.

At that time, Chen Hansan stayed in Xuzhou to set up two hundred soldiers from the Yamen to protect his family, and dozens of people fled to Beicheng, and killed Liu Xilin, who led his troops to come; Although the soldiers were all Chen Hansan's cronies, they were mixed with Chen Hansan's family, and on the relatively narrow Yaqian Street, Liu Xilin led the crowd to kill the army, and Chen Hansan's family also suffered heavy casualties.

About more than 1,000 defenders escaped from the city gate, wanting to join Chen Hansan, who had retreated to the small village on the south bank of the Jingma River, but fled in panic, the queue was scattered, and Li Liang led the Huaidong Jingcai to defeat with a blow, except for a few people who fled for their lives, and most of them surrendered on their knees.

Zhang Yubo and Liu Xilin generally grasped the situation in Xuzhou City, and the remnants of Chen Hansan, who retreated to Xiaozhai on the south bank of the Jingma River, had less than 2,000 people, and Li Liang led two battalions of cavalry to keep an eye on it. Although there are more remnants of the army fleeing westward, they can't care about chasing and killing for a while - for Liu Miaozhen, it is more urgent to gather troops, approach Shajiaji, and entangle Zhou Zhizhong's troops here.

Huaiyang is in the southwest of Xuzhou, a hundred miles away from Xuzhou, there are 5,000 elite infantry soldiers stationed, fast horses gallop out to report, as soon as tonight can send troops and horses to reinforcements.

The two cities of Suining and Suyu are located in the south of Xuzhou, one hundred and fifty miles and two hundred miles away from Xuzhou City respectively, and the two cities have a total of 6,000 elite infantry garrisons, and they will not delay until tomorrow night, and there will be thousands of elite soldiers to come to reinforcements.

Xiapi is on the east side of Xuzhou, one hundred and fifty miles away from Xuzhou City, Geng Quanshan led the three elite battalions of Fengli Battalion to garrison there, and in Yizhou, further east, there are six battalions of elite foot soldiers, which are controlled by Geng Quanshan. Even if the reinforcements arrived from Yizhou, they would only be slightly later than the reinforcements from Suyu.

Before, he was worried that Chen Hansan would change and Xuzhou would fall into the hands of Yan Hu, so Lin Jian was forced to garrison the elite in Huaiyang, Suining, Suyu, Xiapi, Yizhou and other cities south of Xuzhou, forming the outermost defense of the Huaisi defense line.

Dividing troops for defense is a taboo and a helpless thing, but at this time, the defenders of the outer cities can be mobilized to Xuzhou as quickly as possible.

Almost before nightfall tomorrow, Liu Miaozhen will be able to have more than 10,000 elites available in Xuzhou. If Yanhu continues to send troops and horses to the periphery of Xuzhou, Huaidong can even transfer the main force of Fengli's battalion from Siyang to reinforce at full speed, and it will only take two days and two nights at the earliest.

Liu Miaozhen didn't expect to leave behind the more than 10,000 Hu cavalry led by Na He Xiongqi, but why didn't she dare to entangle Zhou Zhizhong's troops here?

There is a city without a city, and the style of play is completely different.

Liu Miaozhen did not have the luxury of hoping to capture the Sha family group at once, nor did she have the luxury of besieging the Sha family group to death, after all, Na He Xiongqi's more than 10,000 elite horses were less than thirty miles away from this side of Weimiaopo, and they were not ornaments.

Liu Miaozhen formed a formation in front of the enemy's formation, less than 300 steps away from the enemy's lookout wall, surrounded the camp with a baggage cart, and confronted Zhou Zhizhong's headquarters at close range. At such a close distance, with a strong bow, the downwind can even throw arrows at the head of the enemy's wall.

With such a close confrontation, Zhou Zhizhong couldn't even calmly transfer the soldiers and horses out of the camp surrounded by the wall.

The choice given to him was only to take the opportunity of a counterattack before more Huaidong soldiers and horses arrived from Huaiyang, Suining, Suyu and other cities, and then transfer all the troops to the outside of the camp to assemble, and then find an opportunity to retreat north.

Under the strong attack of the Huaidong Army, these soldiers and horses under the command of Zhou Zhizhong were in danger, and at this time, it was even worse to attack the position of the Huaidong Army.

However, after nightfall, Chen Hansan led his troops to break through from the south bank of the Jingma River to the west, creating some chaos; The moonlight was fine, and Nahe Xiongqi was able to lead the cavalry to approach under the moon, which gave Zhou Zhizhong the opportunity to transfer most of the soldiers and horses out of the camp surrounded by the wall.

Ma Lantou arrived in time with 3,000 reinforcements from Huaiyang, and the news that Liang Chengchong led his troops westward from Jining also came at the same time - although the timing of Liang Chengchong's westward march from Jining was a bit strange, Na Hexiong Qi knew that the time left for him to retreat north was very limited.

Although he knew that the retreat of the night march was inevitably chaotic, Nahe Xiongqi really did not dare to delay it until early tomorrow morning in the north of Xuzhou City, so he immediately ordered Zhou Zhizhong to lead his troops to break through and retreat north. In one night, Zhou Zhizhong's troops were almost able to open a distance of thirty or forty miles with the Huaidong Army.

"Dong Yuan's soldiers and horses are in Suiyang, and it is believed that most of them will rush out to fight the water dogs; Liang Chengchong withdrew from Jining and went west, he should go to Caozhou, but Na He Xiongqi didn't dare to bet that Liang Chengchong would definitely not go to Yutai - the enemy army would definitely flee in a straight line to Shouzhang......" Liu Miaozhen pressed her finger against the map spread on the big shield and looked at the generals.

In the wilderness where the night wind was like a knife, Liu Miaozhen urgently summoned the generals, picked up two wind lanterns, spread the big shield on the baggage cart as a table, paved the map, and the generals stood in the night wind to discuss matters.

"Na He Xiongqi is a veteran, although Huaidong bullied him several times, he has to admit that he has some skills. He led the cavalry to the rear of the palace, and the infantry battalion could not spread his feet to chase, "Zhou Pu followed Lin Tie, during the Yannan War, he fought with Nahe Xiongqi, knowing his depth, once the infantry battalion spread his feet to pursue, the array will disperse, there are not enough flying contradictory vehicles as cover, it is easy to give the enemy cavalry the opportunity to counterattack, even if they want to pursue, they can only follow behind the enemy at a slower speed, the Huaidong Army can quickly dispatch, and there is only cavalry; Thinking of this, Zhou Pu pointed to the location of Pei County on the map, "Chen Hansan fled to the southwest, let him go for the time being, even if he passes through Huaixi, he can only go to Luo Xiancheng." It was already very surprising that He Xiongqi stayed in the palace, so we bet that he would not dare to divide the troops again, so I, Sun Zhuang, and Li Liang each led the cavalry battalion and bypassed from the east and west, and there was always a team that could stop Zhou Zhizhong before Peixian......"

"There are more than 3,000 cavalry accompanying Zhou Zhizhong, and their bones are quite hard!" Ma Lantou said.

Ma Lantou led 3,000 soldiers from Huaiyang to rush to reinforcements, and the generals were also exhausted, and the remnants of Chen Hansan, who walked at the southern foot of Quanshan Mountain, missed, which was a pity. At this time, the Huaiyang reinforcements could only avoid Xuzhou to rest and recuperate, but also to strengthen the defense of Xuzhou City, not to participate in the pursuit, Ma Lantou rushed here to participate in the military meeting, and gasped for breath.

"If it's hard to bite, it's hard to gnaw. In the first battle of Jiuli Mountain, I took one enemy and two enemies, and never fell into the wind, at this time they were in a hurry to retreat north, and they had no intention of fighting, we just wanted to entangle the foot soldiers of Zhou Zhizhong, what Zhou Ye said, I think it is feasible. Sun Zhuang said.

"Okay, according to what Zhou Ye said, Sun Zhuang and Li Liang each led their headquarters to pursue first, but maybe Nahe Xiongqi will attack my own formation, and it will not work without cavalry to cover the flanks, and I will have to trouble Zhou Ye to lead a cavalry to retreat with me." Liu Miaozhen decided.

"Hey!" Zhou Pu sighed, he was also itchy and belligerent, and he didn't need Liu Miaozhen to take care of him, but thinking that Liu Miaozhen was the main general, he couldn't help but complain nothing, according to her words and deeds.

Nahe Xiongqi can lead the cavalry to stay behind the palace, and he has already done his duty to Zhou Zhizhong and the new annexed army.

Sun Zhuang and Li Liang each led a cavalry to gallop out to the east and west, and after disappearing into the night, Na He Xiongqi could guess that the Huaidong cavalry was going to bypass him to pursue Zhou Zhizhong, but considering the complexity of the peripheral situation, in the end, he did not divide his troops to intercept it, but stared at Liu Miaozhen's main formation and slowly retreated.

**************

After Liu Tingzhou returned to Xuyang, although Dong Yuan didn't know why Lin Jian was confident to win under Xuzhou City, he also did as Lin Jian wished, and ordered Xiao Kuian to gather 10,000 soldiers and horses and follow him north to Suiyang.

If the Changhuai army wants to withdraw from Daliang and hold Suiyang, it will be able to protect the flank of the Changhuai army's southward retreat from the attack of Yanyu, and from this point of view, Dong Yuan will also lead his troops to Suiyang first.

Dong Yuan learned the news that Chen Hansan had openly rebelled and defeated Liu Miaozhen outside Xuzhou City in Suiyang, it was already midnight, and it was the time when Nahe Xiongqi made up his mind to let Zhou Zhizhong lead his troops to retreat north.

Although Dong Yuan sent a horse to Xuzhou to watch the battle, he did not approach the battlefield. The great victory of the Huaidong Army under the city of Xuzhou was strange and urgent, which surprised Dong Yuan inexplicably.

Xuzhou victory, Lin Tieli has two great achievements in quelling the rebellion and insulting, I am afraid that if you want to seal the county prince can not reward his merits, Dong Yuan's heart is sour and jealous, but it also makes Xiao Kuian guard Suiyang, he personally ordered 8,000 soldiers and horses to march eastward, rushed to Peixian to participate in the interception, at least share some credit, so as not to make the face too ugly.

***************

Although it was only more than 80 miles from Shajiaji to Peixian County, Zhou Zhizhong's troops dragged on until the third day of November, that is, on the third day of the northward retreat of his troops, and arrived at Peixian, even half a day later than Dong Yuan.

Dong Yuan, Sun Zhuang, and Li Liang cooperated in the battle, and fought with Zhou Zhizhong's department, and won both battles. Zhou Zhizhong was forced to retreat to the remnants of Pei County. Zhou Zhizhong was trapped in the remnants of Pei County, Liu Miaozhen led the main force of Huaiyang Town to pursue behind him, Na He Xiongqi was worried that the dry food would be exhausted and the horse food would be exhausted, so he would never dare to delay the battle any longer, nor would he dare to press the cavalry into a decisive battle, and finally gave up Zhou Zhizhong's department and fled north around Pei County. After Nahe Xiongqi fled north, Zhou Zhizhong led his troops to break through the siege, and was defeated, only leading more than 1,000 remnants to escape. When the remnants of Zhou Zhizhong passed between Yutai and Caozhou, they picked up a bargain for Liang Chengchong, and they were defeated again in a battle, and Mo Jiben also killed Liang Chengchong's subordinates under the horse.

At this time, Lin Jian had arrived in Xuzhou and instructed Liu Miaozhen to continue to lead the main force of Huaiyang Town to the north, and did not stop until Yutai and stationed in the remnants of Yutai.

At this time, Cao Ziang and Ning Zechen led the main force of Feng Li's camp to Xuzhou and joined Lin Lian.

He personally led Ning Zeya, Ma Lantou, Geng Quanshan and other generals to gather 20,000 soldiers and horses from Xuzhou on November 9 to Yutai, join Liu Miaozhen, and then enter Linzhou north.

Huaidong's elite on the northern front, more than 40,000 elites are gathered in Linzhou, less than 150 miles away from Shouzhang, if Dong Yuan, Tao Chun, Liang Chengchong and other troops are invited, they can make up an army of 1340,000 to come out. Although they were mainly foot soldiers, it was entirely possible to take advantage of the remaining momentum of the victory in Xuzhou, and it was entirely possible to repel the 70,000 or 80,000 captives assembled in Shouzhang in one go, and easily relieve the siege of Dongping.
