The Qing army appeared, still far from the city of Xuzhou, Xuzhou, the general of the Southern Ming Dynasty, Li Chengdong, abandoned the city as early as April 8.

Li Chengdong, the chief soldier guarding Xuzhou, is now commanding the team all the way south, of course, this can also be called escape, and before escaping, Li Chengdong did not forget to loot Xuzhou City. Li Chengdong's escape direction was Yangzhou, and in order to prevent Liu Zeqing's attack, Li Chengdong did not dare to take the water route, but took Gao Jie's widow Xing and his son Gao Yuanzhao by land, and he was going to Yangzhou along the water road in Sizhou.

This team is very large, I am afraid there are no less than 100,000 people, the speed is not fast, and from a distance, it can be called overwhelming.

The Bianhe River in Sizhou is very wide, running from east to west, due to the flood, the embankment is very high, several scouts in earthy brown clothes lie on the embankment, one person holds a clairvoyant mirror, and the scene of swarming is really seen.

A scout slipped off the embankment, then ran across the bridge and rode away.

There will be no one else wearing this clothes, it is Zhou Huchen's scout, and the news of the huge flow of people in front of him was reported as soon as possible.

Jiannu went south, it was the most panicked period in various places, there were many people who fled, whether on land or in the river, there were also many people and boats going south, but such a huge team was very abnormal.

"Are you sure it's an officer or soldier?" Zhou Huchen had just led the team to run over and jam the Bianhe River, and released a large number of scouts to the northwest, and the report of the scouts made him faintly look forward to it.

"Marshal Qiyu, it is indeed a team of officers and soldiers, and the banner is very clear, with the name of the chief military officer of Xuzhou, and the banner of high characters and Li characters is erected."

Zhou Huchen is now the chief soldier, a serious Zhenjiang chief military officer, and he can be called a big handsome, and his son Zhou Yuji has naturally been upgraded, and now he must be called the commander-in-chief, which can be regarded as making room for Zhou Huchen.

Knowing who it was, Zhou Huchen waved his hand, and the scout got up and rode away.

"Dare to give up the territory of the imperial court without a battle, what is the use of such a person to keep?"

Zhou Huchen's side was Ye Yinzhi, the envoy of the right capital, and he didn't know how to get it by Zhou Huchen, he was already nervous, but now, Zhou Huchen's words made his heart tremble. knew that this was said to himself, but Ye Yinzhi opened his mouth and didn't dare to respond.

"Something that wastes food!" It was Jiang Can who spoke, he was not as cautious as Ye Yinzhi, because he was now white, and there was nothing to taboo.

"Such a general is a waste of food! What do you say, Lord Yin? "Zhou Huchen doesn't want to let go of Ye Yinzhi, you don't have to use this shield in vain, isn't this the role of bringing him here?

Ye Yinzhi is not stupid, isn't he just buttoning the hat for these fleeing soldiers? But Ye Yinzhi understands that Zhou Huchen is going to kill someone! This killer has already killed a lot of people, what Li Zicheng's thief army, Jiannu, traitors, and Qincha, Zuo Liangyu's army that he just killed has fallen into the water, and I heard that there are hundreds of thousands of people. This time, it is estimated that someone will be unlucky again.

weishenme is going to pull me into the water? I didn't offend you!

The expression on Ye Yinzhi's face was very rich, frowning, grinning, crying and mourning, and now there was only crying left.

There was no sound for a long time, Zhou Huchen's expression was relaxed, he squinted at Ye Yinzhi and waited for him to answer.

"Yes, yes! It's also a waste of food to keep it! Ye Yinzhi didn't want to be unlucky, not for the time being, he stammered and muttered helplessly.

Waiting for you here, Zhou Huchen chuckled: "Then according to the will of the prison army, don't let them waste food!" ”

Ye Yinzhi closed his eyes, this can be regarded as being dragged to the water's edge and ready to be pulled into the water, but what can he say?

The defender of Sizhou is the deputy general Li Yuchun, and this deputy general has been frightened to the point that he has no master, because Zhou Huchen seems to be arranging a battle, and this operation seems to be aimed at his own people.

Zhou Huchen was in no mood to pay attention to Li Yuchun, he directly ordered: "The cabinet is about to go to Tianchang, General Li will go to Tianchang to meet the cabinet lord!" ”

Zhou Huchen didn't want to kill Li Yuchun, but Li Yuchun was not good for himself here, and at the same time, Zhou Huchen knew what these people were doing. Li Yuchun will only surrender Jiannu if he stays here, although Li Yuchun only has 3,000 people under him, but after all, it is also a liliang, and it is better for him to go to meet Shi Kefa.

Li Yuchun has nothing to say, he knows what kind of person Zhou Huchen is, and it is not bad to evacuate Sizhou, so Deputy General Li obediently led his troops and left.

If you don't take the waterway to Yangzhou, Sizhou is a must-pass place, and you must cross the bridge. I have to say that Li Chengdong and Li Benshen were too careless, and they symbolically only sent a few scouts to run over like this.

Zhou Huchen also planned to attack, but the terrain near Surabaya was too flat, and he couldn't hide a large number of soldiers and horses, so it was difficult to make a perfect attack. Now, Li Chengdong and Li Benshen actually gave such an opportunity, probably thinking that there is no danger in the south.

A drizzle fell from the sky.

Zhou Huchen's army had crossed the river and lined up in front of the Bianhe, which was a formation of 50,000 foot soldiers.

The scouts kept reporting the distance, and the "enemy" was still less than ten miles away.

"How? Is it just a straight rush? ”

It was Mo Xiancheng next to Zhou Huchen who spoke, Mo Xiancheng was now promoted again like Zhou Huchen, and he was awarded a miscellaneous general soldier. Mo Xiancheng didn't understand Zhou Huchen's battle arrangement a little bit today, wasn't it just a surprise, how could it look like a direct impact.

"Ten thousand, we have ten thousand cavalry!" Zhou Huchen waved the horsewhip in his hand:

"I know, but the foot weishenme does not advance?" Mo Xiancheng doesn't understand, isn't it over to deal with these armies who only know how to escape? Such painstaking efforts to use cavalry to prepare on one side, but let the foot soldiers stand still, does not seem to be in line with Zhou Huchen's consistent combat methods.

"Training, continue to train! Where are these straw bales to be used for our surprise attack, to find another way! Uncle Cheng, just wait and see! Zhou Huchen showed a shallow smile, without any nervousness about to fight, and even easily trained his troops.

"Let's practice, I'll see."

Well, Mo Xiancheng admits that even if today's troops are halved, Li Chengdong and Li Benshen's fleeing army is not an opponent, not to mention, there are still a large number of family members among these people. Let's practice, anyway, we will win, but I always feel uncomfortable killing "my own people". But Mo Xiancheng didn't want to stop him, these old subordinates of Gao Jie were already deserters, and evacuating the garrison without the consent of the imperial court was tantamount to the crime of abandoning the land, which was enough to be killed. As for Zhou Huchen Weishenme wanting to kill these people, Mo Xiancheng didn't bother to think about it.

At this time, Meng Yun ran over: "Report to the commander, get ready, four hundred mortars." ”

Meng Yun's official position is now guerrilla, this position is not high, but it is second only to Wu Yunguan, the commander of the artillery battalion, and is the second person in the artillery battalion.

"General Meng Yunmeng listens to orders!" Zhou Huchen looked at Mo Xiancheng, and seeing that Mo Xiancheng didn't mean to speak, he began to order.

"The end will be."

"Jihua as scheduled, do it yourself!"

"Yes!"

Meng Yun's fart was upset, and he ran away with excitement on his face.
