The iron cavalry ran, and the two cavalry armies fought fiercely together, shouting and killing to the sky. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zhang Yue gritted his teeth, stood in position, the spear danced continuously, and the other party also brazenly caught up, fighting to the death.

The crossbows were fired in unison, and in the screams of dozens of Caizhou soldiers who swarmed up, another wave of offensive rushed up.

The enemy bites so tightly that he barely leaves a step.

After evacuating from the city father city, Zhang Yue regretted it a little.

Instead of fighting so passively, it is better to simply defend the city father, at least relying on the city wall to hold on, even if the whole army is destroyed in the end, at least it can make the Caizhou army pay enough price.

retreated south in embarrassment, but just fell into the trap of the other party, so he bit himself step by step, and beat the three armies of his side to pieces.

After all, he still underestimated the decisiveness of the Caizhou army, and Zhang Yue didn't expect the Caizhou army to come so quickly.

He felt that his decision was decisive enough, and when he learned that the Caizhou army had stopped and returned thirty miles from Qi County, Zhang Yue immediately ordered the withdrawal of the army.

But it is easy to come and difficult to go, and the reaction speed of the Caizhou army is also quite fast, the Caizhou army of Shansang is under the leadership of Zhao Chong, one of the eight pillars of the new Ruyang, and the two armies poured out, and finally blocked themselves on the east bank of the river, and dragged themselves for two days, and then the army led by Yuan Wuwei came up.

If it weren't for Xu Ziqing's timely reinforcements, Zhang Yue knew that all three armies would have to be left here.

But now the situation is not much better, the Sixth Army of the Yuan Army is attacking more and more fiercely under the leadership of Yuan Wuwei, and it is less than thirty miles away from Huaishui, can it be said that these thirty miles have become their own dead end?

Xu Ziqing wiped a handful of blood on his cheeks, and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood again.

Yuan Wuwei is really powerful, the power of the small heaven is indeed not something he can compete with, even with Ge Chong's help, but the result still has not changed, but he took Ge Chong's life in vain.

Although the two joined forces to slightly block Yuan Wuwei's rampant breakthrough, they only slightly blocked the offensive of the Caizhou army under the leadership of Yuan Wuwei, and the next situation was that he was wounded, Ge Chong was killed, and the right Fifth Army was almost completely annihilated.

If it weren't for the hit and shot of the powerful crossbowman who forcibly blocked the dragon bird tail led by Yuan Wenliang, Xu Ziqing knew that he was afraid that it would be the result of the annihilation of the entire army.

Xu Ziqing's reinforcement was not an unpredictable prophet, and he was also forced to evacuate Yingshang under the attack of the Caizhou army.

The ferocity of the Caizhou army made him a little unexpected, and the four armies attacked Yingshang from the south of Ruyin, and the leading general was Yuan Huaifang, the older generation of the Yuan family.

After a little resistance, Xu Ziqing judged that Yingshang was afraid that he would not be able to hold it, and he knew very well how many Caizhou troops there were in Ruyin, there were only two armies, but now there were four armies in Yingshang all of a sudden, which was obviously a huge change in the situation.

These Caizhou troops were obviously reinforced from Caizhou in the west, but the strength of the Caizhou army had already been calculated by the Huaiyou side, and unless the Caizhou side dared to draw troops from their defense line in the northeast and northwest to help, it would never be possible to draw troops to enter Yingzhou.

And now this unexpected situation has appeared, the Caizhou army has suddenly increased significantly, and what reason allows them to ignore their northern line defense, either they have reached some kind of tacit agreement with the Daliang side, or the Daliang side has withdrawn their troops on the southern front, so that the Caizhou side feels less pressure.

Xu Ziqing couldn't figure out the reason for a while, but he knew that there was a big trouble.

Once the Caizhou side no longer worries about the northern defense line, then the Caizhou army can at least draw six to eight more troops from their northern defense line, and almost all of them are the elite of the Caizhou army, which is a great pressure on Huaiyou.

Before the king does not solve the Xuzhou problem, Huaiyou will be at an absolute disadvantage in the entire confrontation against Yuan's line.

Therefore, Xu Ziqing chose to retreat quickly from Yingshang, because he received a letter from Zhang Yue expressing the route of withdrawing troops from the city father, so Xu Ziqing would throw off the Caizhou army and cross the river to meet Zhang Yue, Gu Hua and Ge Chong.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yue's three armies were also pressed and beaten by the Caizhou army led by Yuan Wuwei, if they hadn't intervened in time, maybe Zhang Yue's three armies had been defeated by Yuan Wuwei and them.

Even so, their situation was still very bad after fighting and retreating, not only did the Yuan army have the advantage in total strength, but its powerful cavalry continued to tear at the defense line of the Huaiyou army.

The Huaiyou Army itself was not equipped with the second cavalry army in the north, and there were less than 300 cavalry left in the continuous fierce battles, but even these 300 cavalry also stubbornly entangled the Caizhou cavalry army, so that it could not break through the defense line of the Huaiyou Army with all its strength, otherwise the situation would be even more unimaginable.

Night finally fell, and for the Huaiyou army, this won another respite.

There was a noisy noise from the rear again, Xu Ziqing and Zhang Yue were nervous in their hearts, could it be that the Caizhou army came from the rear?

Could it be that how many of them really want to die on the bank of this river?

Xu Ziqing and Zhang Yue exchanged glances, and then looked at Gu Hua, who was still unconscious next to him.

Gu Hua was injured in the duel with Yuan Wenliang, of course, Yuan Wenliang was not having a good time, and the two were almost defeated.

"My lord, my lord, it's our reinforcements! It's the Left Seventh Army!"

The voice of excitement came from the rear, Zhang Yue and Xu Ziqing finally felt relieved, and the reinforcements finally came.

From the time of retreat, Zhang Yue and Xu Ziqing both sent a letter of help to Shouzhou, they were not clear about the battle situation in Xuzhou, and they did not dare to ask for help from Xuzhou.

When the Huaishui was withdrawn, the entire remnants of the Huaiyou army finally relaxed.

I have to say that Xu Ziqing and Zhang Yue had good luck, and thanks to Cui Shang, who felt that Shouzhou's troops were empty, and was worried that if there was any accident, it would be difficult to deal with it, so he transferred the three battalions of the Left Seventh Army and Kou Wenli's Third Army to Shouzhou, so he could quickly arrange to go north to meet after receiving the letter for help.

The reorganization of the Left Seventh Army has not yet ended, and the weapons have basically been completed, but the armor is not yet complete, but it is not taken care of at this time.

It can be said that the Third Army of the Navy had just had time to conduct a ship-by-ship exercise on military ships in Shouzhou, and it could be said that it had just had time to familiarize itself with the ships, and had not even really used the Huaiyou Navy standard ships for synthetic exercises, so it had to immediately go north along the river to conduct combat training.

The Caizhou army still refused to give up even after the Huaiyou Army received reinforcements, and kept following and fighting, even if it was covered by the naval army, in the end it only allowed the remnants of the army to withdraw safely from Xia Cai to Shouzhou, but Xia Cai was occupied by the Cai Zhou army.

At this point, the entire southern Yingzhou was recovered by the Yuan family, and Yuan Huaiqing finally became a veritable Yingbo regimental training envoy.

Cui Shang didn't expect the situation to evolve like this, when the battle in Xuzhou was completely won, there was such a big situation on the side of Nanyingzhou, which surprised everyone.

Originally, it was planned to let the Nanyingzhou garrison attack Bozhou and contain the Caizhou army, but the goal was achieved, but the results were completely different.

If it weren't for Xu Ziqing's timely response, the news of Wuwentang came quickly, once Xu Ziqing was surrounded on the Yingshang and couldn't get out, the consequences would be really unimaginable, not only Xu Ziqing's left second army would be surrounded and annihilated on the Ying, but without Xu Ziqing's left second army reinforcements, Zhang Yue, Gu Hua and Ge Chong, the three armies might not survive that time, and they might be wiped out by Yuan Wuwei's army, thinking of this, Cui Shang shuddered, if so, Huaiyou would lose too much.

But even so, the battle damage on this Western Front was too great.

Only 200 cavalry returned from the Second Cavalry Army, and among the four armies of the Second Left Army, the Third Left Army, the Fourth Right Army, and the Fifth Right Army, the Fifth Right Army was almost wiped out, with only 300 people remaining, and even a battalion could not be put together, Xu Ziqing's Second Left Army was in a slightly better situation, losing more than 900 people, Zhang Yue's Third Left Army lost 1,600 people, Gu Hua's Fourth Right Army lost 1,300 people, and even the reinforced Left Seventh Army lost more than 400 people, and its losses exceeded the losses of the entire Huai Right Army in the past three years.

Cui Shang gently rubbed his temples.

Xu Ziqing vomited a mouthful of blood again, and the maid next to him hurriedly wiped the blood stains on the corners of his mouth with a silk handkerchief, Xu Ziqing waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "It's okay, go down." ”

Cui Shang glanced at it with some concern, "Ziqing, don't force ,......"

"It's okay, it's just blood, Yuan Wuwei's Heavenly Flame Dragon Fist is really powerful, I only took twelve moves when I joined forces with Ge Chong, the result was that Ge Chong was killed, I was injured, if it wasn't for the launch of the Moon Yang Golden Lock of Ganquan that I brought, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to come back." Xu Ziqing leaned on the head of the bed, his face pale, "Bai Ling, is there any bad news?"

"I can't hide it from you. Cui Shang didn't hide it, he glanced at Zhang Yue, who had a gray face, and Sun Tan, the commander of the Seventh Left Army, who was sitting on the side and didn't speak, "Three days ago, the Nanyang army left Gwangju and occupied Gwangju. ”

"What?!" Xu Ziqing sat up suddenly, his eyes widened angrily, a red tide swept across his face, and he almost vomited a mouthful of blood again, "Liu Xuan is so daring!"

"It's Liu Xuan or Liu Tong, it's not clear, we are a little careless, we think that the Liu family is infighting, our Huai right is strong, Nanyang may not dare to act rashly, I didn't expect ......" Cui Shang's face was not very good-looking.

"This may also have something to do with the change of Daliang's attitude, the information on the Wuwentang side is coming back one after another, and it is not yet completely mastered, only that the army of Daliang on the southern front is being transferred north, and the change is quite large, and it is not clear whether it is a temporary transfer or a formal transfer, but from the current point of view, the Tianxing Left Army in Chenzhou only retains two armies stationed in Xiangcheng and Lishui, and six armies are pumped north, and the left and right armies of Longxiang stationed in Xuzhou and Ruzhou have withdrawn twelve armies to go north, no wonder Caizhou is relieved, and the original crane army that has been stationed in Henan Mansion has also gone north。 ”
