This army of the Jiangxi Association was composed of five or six people, and when it retreated, it could not all go at once, and if there was no formation, it would be disorganized.

Therefore, Du Fuwei arranged for Wang Xiong to lead 30,000 elite soldiers after his death, and he is currently engaged in battle with the pursuing soldiers.

The troops that withdrew at the front were Shen Faxing, Zhang Shan'an, and Chen Dong's men, with a total of 60,000 people, and 20,000 Jianghuai vanguard troops to open the way.

The main force in the middle of the formation was Du Fuwei, Wen Ren Sui'an, and Wang Hua's men, with a total of 120,000 people.

Mighty, withdraw from Zhongli County, and go south to the southwest of Jiangdu County, backed by Liyang County, so that the supply can be satisfied.

The 300,000 troops gathered at the beginning, after the battle of Dingyuan City and the Battle of Zhongli City, tens of thousands of people were killed and wounded, and Dingyuan City was attacked by a sneak attack and lost men and horses, and the allies only had more than 200,000 left.

Even so, it is still a huge number, and it is by no means easy for the Dahua army to completely eat these more than 200,000 soldiers and horses.

Du Fuwei ordered to continue the journey, and did not return to the broken Wang Xiongdan, which was also a strategic consideration, because the broken soldiers and horses were left behind, which was to complete the task of blocking the pursuing troops and give the main army enough time to withdraw the troops.

Two days later, as soon as the Allied forces in front of them left the mountains bordering Zhongli County and Jiangdu County, they heard the rumbling sound of iron horses, and a large army on foot rushed to block the men and horses in front of the Allied army and the main force of the core, and cut the retreating team.

"It's the cavalry and infantry of the Northern Court!"

"That's a lot of soldiers!"

Thousands of horses galloped, rumbling through the earth, countless soldiers and horses roared, and the momentum was like a rainbow.

Zhang Shan'an, Shen Faxing and others saw the flags fluttering all over the mountains, and countless war horses roaring, rolling to block the back road, frightened, and their faces changed greatly.

If these more than 10,000 cavalry attacked their army, they would definitely be defeated and unable to resist.

However, the Dahua army did not attack them wholeheartedly, but cut off the road of the main army of Jianghuai behind, and it was clear that they were not the main target.

Shen Faxing's face was solemn, and he exclaimed, "Oops, Mr. Du is in charge of them, they are going to encounter danger." ”

"Do you want to save me?" Chen Dong asked.

Zhang Shanan frowned and said, "Let's take a look"

At this time, a crossbow machine phalanx aimed at the vanguard army and fired arrows, and 5,000 cavalry lined up to drive away.

Seeing this, Zhang Shan'an, Shen Faxing and others immediately ordered to speed up their escape without delay, otherwise, they would be easily hit hard by the cavalry.

"Withdraw like this, it's better to turn around and fight with the Hua ** team, plus the soldiers and horses of General Manager Du, there is still a glimmer of life!" Chen Dong is the remnant of the royal family of Chen State, and after the Jiangnan cavalry, his momentum is not big, but after all, his ancestors have been enough to be Emperor Chen State, and he also has some courage.

Shen Faxing and Zhang Shan'an glanced at each other, but neither replied, but fell silent.

They didn't want to take their own soldiers and horses to save Du Fuwei's Jianghuai army, otherwise, they would suffer heavy losses, the outcome would be unpredictable, and they would have a hard time with the opponent's powerful cavalry and infantry elites, and their fate could be imagined, which was not in their interests.

"Liyang County is empty now, the dragons have no leader, you can make a profit!" Zhang Shanxin moved, and his eyes looked at Shen Faxing.

Shen Faxing seemed to see what Zhang Shan'an meant, and he was also a little moved, turned around and went to fight with the Dahua elite cavalry and infantry, nine deaths, fighting hard for Du Fuwei, it was not worth it, it was better to rush to Liyang County, take the opportunity to collect the men and horses and grain and grass there, and then cross the river and return to the Jiangnan area.

At this moment, there was a huge flag fluttering in the Dahua army, and there was a five-clawed golden dragon flying on the flag, and Luo Zhaoyun personally led the troops to arrive.

Originally, Luo Zhaoyun, as the king of a country, did not have to take risks, but this time he had already laid heavy troops here, that is, he planned to block the retreat of the allied army in Jiangsu, and the target was Du Fuwei, as long as Du Fuwei was taken, the major events in Jiangnan would be set, and the rest would be small shrimps, so there was nothing to fear.

"That's right, Luo Zhaoyun came in person."

Shen Faxing, Zhang Shan'an and others were shocked, and at the same time, an irresistible feeling surged in their hearts, and the psychology of running away was even better.

"Go quickly, don't go, take the lead in attacking us, take us under the knife, the gains outweigh the losses."

"Let's go to Liyang first!"

As soon as the military order came out, these soldiers and soldiers all fled frantically, and they had no fighting spirit.

Five thousand cavalry drove and drove fifty or sixty thousand soldiers and horses dozens of miles away, looking at the wind and fleeing.

On the hill in the distance, Luo Zhaoyun rode and looked at the scattered and fleeing allies, he already knew that it was Shen Faxing, Zhang Shanan and other horses, he didn't care, this time he brought 20,000 cavalry and 50,000 infantry, all of them were elite, there was no need to waste morale and physical strength with those rabble, his goal was Du Fuwei!

"Your Majesty, the main force of Du Fuwei's Jianghuai Army still has three miles to arrive!"

Luo Zhaoyun nodded slightly, and shouted: "Order the three armies, prepare for battle!" The Shenji Battalion was in place, and all the artillery and explosives were used. ”

"Yes!" Bing Yuanzhen, Xue Wanshu, Wang Junkuo, Zhou Zhongyin, Zhang Gongjin, He Ruohuaikuo and other tiger generals all hugged their fists, and each had a division of labor in advance, and they were ready to be in place at this time.

At the same time, Du Fuwei had already received the information that there was an enemy army blocking the front, his face changed greatly, and he ordered the three armed forces to fight, with the front blocking and the rear pursuit, and the situation was critical.

"It turns out that this is Luo Zhaoyun's killing move, waiting for us here, it is expected that our army will withdraw its troops here, lose step by step, lose step by step!" Du Fuwei sighed, his eyes gradually calmed down, and he transferred a few generals, with a few thousand cavalry, as well as elites, to launch the first wave of charge.

"General rest assured, we will go to the soup and fight the fire, and we will definitely rush away from the blocking in front!" Will Zuo fist in response.

Du Fuwei nodded and said comfortingly: "Go ahead, the army behind will press the formation for you, as long as you can break through the enemy's blockage, our army will press, and you will have an advantage in numbers, and you will definitely be able to break out of the encirclement!" ”

However, having said that, after Jiang Huaijun and Wang Hua and other soldiers under their command learned that the road ahead was blocked, there were chasing soldiers behind, and Luo Zhaoyun personally came to surround them, they all felt a burst of shock, cold hands and feet, and seemed to have a bad premonition.
