On the third watch, Huai'an City was shrouded in a night, and the city was silent, only the footsteps of patrol soldiers carrying torches and spears.

At this time, outside the city, a small boat crossed the canal and came to the east bank, and the soldiers on it immediately led the horse ashore, and then galloped towards Huai'an City.

On the fourth watch day, it was the time when people were asleep, but Huai'an was in an uproar all over the city, and after a while, I saw that the south gate was opened, the water gate was opened, and a large number of Ming soldiers and soldiers poured out of the city, and the warships, grain ships, and baggage boats sailed out of the water gate, scrambling to the south.

Almost at the same time, the Ming army camp on the south bank of the Huaijiang River also moved.

On the fifth day of the fifth month of May, on both sides of the Grand Canal, 60,000 Ming troops came from the north, and the team trekked along the river, stretching for dozens of miles before and after.

The Ming sergeants carried their burdens on their backs, used their weapons and pestles on the ground, used them as crutches, and marched quickly, and the officers on the horses looked back at the team from time to time and shouted loudly: "Everyone speed up, Yangzhou is ahead." ”

There was no sound to respond, and the Ming sergeant lowered his head and continued to hurry.

At this moment, there was a roar of hooves, and a group of cavalry rushed back against the flow of people, and the Ming army in front stopped after a while.

"Why don't you go?" Ma Shiying felt the carriage stop, raised the curtain and asked.

At this time, a cavalryman galloped over, flew off his horse, and knelt on one knee, "Inspector Qiqi, ten miles ahead, there are Wei thieves blocking the way." ”

Ma Shiying's face sank, "How many people are there?" ”

The soldier hugged his fists and said: "There are nearly 10,000 horse troops." ”

Ma Shiying's expression softened a little, and he said in a deep voice: "Order the rear team to speed up, and the front team will change formation and march forward." ”

Along the wilderness of the Grand Canal, in front of the Ming army scurrying south, a black line appeared.

Nearly 10,000 Wei soldiers and soldiers, in the wilderness, spears and canine teeth are staggered, the poles are like forests, the guns are towering, the cannons are ready to go, and the 10,000 Wei army dragoons have been waiting for a long time.

At this time, the Ming army coming from the north stopped a mile away, the front army quickly set up a formation, and the rear army was still rushing forward.

Ma Shiying came to the front of the team, observed it with a clairvoyant mirror for a moment, and then ordered: "The warship will attack, the front army will press up, and this Wei thief will be defeated, and the army can return to Yangzhou." ”

"Boom, boom!" On the battlefield, the Wei artillery roared first, and the shells whistled and fell into the water, splashing water columns and smashing on the ground to raise fluffy soil.

……

On the north bank of the Huai River, artillery roared.

When the Huai'an Ming army withdrew to the south, the Wei army on the north bank noticed the movement, but because it was night, Zhao Daxian was afraid of being a trap and did not dare to attack rashly.

After dawn, the Wei army on the south bank made a careful work, risking death to send a signal, and the Wei army got a clear message that the Huai'an Ming army had fled south, and the 90,000 Wei army immediately launched a battle to cross the river.

Zhao Daxian pressed the sword, his face sank like water, and asked in a deep voice: "How many brothers have crossed over?" ”

"Governor, there are more than 10,000 people!" The side will clench fists.

Zhao Daxian's cheeks twitched, and he waved his big hand, "Immediately go south to pursue." Then order the north bank to cross the horse army first. ”

Many Wei generals were so excited that they clenched their fists and received their orders one after another. They all realized that the opportunity to wait for more than half a year had finally come, annihilating the Ming army in Jiangbei, and the army could force the Yangtze River, and they were all heroes of the Great Wei New Dynasty.

Zhao Daxian pressed the hilt of the knife with his hand, his eyes swept over everyone, and he said in a deep voice: "This battle will be won!" ”

The military order flew around, and the Wei army, which had just crossed the Huai River, quickly assembled, inspected the equipment of the infantry army, brought all the equipment, and converged to the south.

The horse army flew on their horses and quickly assembled, and after a while, the army of 10,000 horse infantry was assembled, and after Zhao Daxian's brief mobilization, the army waved south and followed the Ming army to chase after it.

Chuzhou was northwest of Nanjing, west of Yangzhou, and a large Wei army marched in the wilderness east of Chuzhou.

After the Wei army captured Runan, Gao Yihuan ordered the vanguard to rush forward, leading nearly 40,000 troops, following the vanguard, and advancing in the direction of Yangzhou.

The army marched into the wilderness, intending to cut off the way for the Ming army to flee south and leave the Ming army in Jiangbei behind.

At this time, the army rolled eastward, and a team of scouts flew to the east, Gao Yihuan saw it from a distance, pulled the reins, and pulled the war horse to the side of the road.

"Your Majesty, the Governor of Hudu intercepted Ma Shiying in Gaoyou, north of Yangzhou, and the two armies are fighting fiercely!" The scout flew off his horse and hurriedly reported.

Gao Yihuan's spirits perked up when he heard this, his horsewhip was raised, and he shouted loudly, "Spread my will, and the army will accelerate its march." ”

In the Wei army that was marching in the wilderness, the voices of the officers rang out one after another, "Your Majesty has an order, speed up and march to Gaoyou." ”

"March to Gaoyou!" In the procession that spread for more than ten miles, the voices were passed on one after another, and the Wei soldiers ran one after another, the helmets on the road were crowded, the sprints were undulating, the armor was rattling, and the soldiers raised their speed.

……

Gaoyou, on the edge of the Grand Canal, the earth-shattering shouts and rumbling explosions have been resounding for a day and a night.

60,000 Ming troops took turns to attack the Wei army, the ships in the canal burned, one after another, the warships sank into the river, most of the hull was submerged in the water, and the shipbuilding and mast were exposed to the water, blocking the channel.

The Ming sergeant was in a hurry to withdraw and launched a ** attack, and the Wei sergeant continued to shoot with firearms, and fought hand-to-hand with a sprint at close quarters, doing a desperate fight.

At this time, with the passage of time, the soldiers of the Wei army who had been fighting for a long time were already a little unbearable, and one of the Wei generals came to Hu Dawei's side and reported loudly, "Dudu, the gunpowder is running out!" ”

Hu Dawei rode on the horse, clenched the knife, and his expression sank when he heard the words, "Then prepare for hand-to-hand combat!" ”

The main formation of the Ming army, Ma Shiying and his subordinate Wenwu watched the battle, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the Wei army's front was finally loosened and victory was in sight.

As long as the army breaks through the blockade, retreats into Yangzhou City, and keeps Guazhoudu connected to the south bank, the army will be safe.

Ma Shiying rode on his war horse and watched the battlefield, "Then let the five thousand soldiers press up." ”

As he was talking, he saw several horsemen rushing to him, and the first horse reported in a panic: "Supervisor, Wei General Zhao Daxian, is following, the enemy army is twenty miles away from our rear army!" ”

Ma Shiying and all the generals changed color together, and at this moment, a team of cavalry rushed to the scene in a panic, and the scout hurriedly reported: "Inspector, a large number of Wei thieves have been found in the west, fifteen miles away from Gaoyou!" ”

"How's that good?" The staff of the Ming army shouted in surprise.

Ma Shiying's face turned pale, but he immediately calmed down, "Order the army, immediately press forward and crush the Wei thieves who block the way!" ”
