At the beginning, Lin Jian sent Liu Xilin to lead 300 soldiers into Xuzhou City, with three intentions: first, to confuse Chen Hansan, thinking that Liu Xilin really came to conspire with him on behalf of Huaidong to deceive and lure the enemy; The second is to retreat to the Chu Wangfu during the war, and use the Chu Wangfu to contain part of Chen Hansan's troops in the city, or to confuse Chen Hansan's judgment; The third is to cooperate with the Huaidong army that rushed to the city at this time, storm the city gate, and welcome the army into the city.

Although Yuan Hancheng, the king of Chu, has also experienced wars, but his understanding of military affairs is very limited after all, seeing that the number of rebels in Xuzhou City is still numerous, he wants to seek to hold the palace steadily, and then talk about it - but the strength of the army is like water, the enemy's morale and morale have been seriously shaken, it is impossible to have much will to fight, that is, the enemy army in the city is doubled, and Liu Xilin also dares to fight, why fear that the three thousand enemy soldiers in the city are scattered everywhere?

Although Liu Xilin was able to ignore the opinions of Yuan Hancheng, the king of Chu, and rushed out of the palace of the king of Chu with three hundred soldiers alone, he had to respect Zhang Yubo's opinions.

Zhang Yubo saw Liu Xilin come over, he had worked with Liu Xilin for many years, where was he not clear about his firm will? Grasping the saber at his waist, he said: "The rebels are no longer able to attack the palace of the king of Chu, and it is enough to defend the camp; Great achievements are at your fingertips, and three hundred brave soldiers should not be able to succumb to this place. Please sit here, I and Xilin rushed out, captured a city gate, and welcomed the Huaidong soldiers into Xuzhou City! ”

"Lord Zhang and the prince of Chu stay here, take the center to respond, and charge the battle to kill the enemy, as long as we soldiers do it......," Liu Xilin said, as long as Zhang Yubo has an approving attitude, he doesn't want a civilian official to follow the risk, if Zhang Yubo has three strengths and two weaknesses, he will not explain.

Although Yuan Hancheng was conservative, he was not pedantic, so he summoned the commander of the palace guard camp to come to him and said: "You go and ask the guards of the guard, if there is anyone who is willing to take military merits and seek wealth, you can rush out with Captain Liu......"

The commander of the guard camp did not want to risk his own life and be greedy for merit, at this time he still had to defend the palace and prevent the rebellious army from pouring in, but there were generals under his command who went out to kill, and he was naturally indispensable to win military merits.

For the lower-level officers and soldiers who have no background and only rely on courage to eat, there is no way out, and there are not a few adventurers who dare to lick blood at the edge of the knife; Even among the more than 100 officials who retreated to the Chu Palace, more than 30 people also stood up with Zhang Yubo, willing to rush out with Liu Xilin.

Liu Xilin quickly gathered 500 brave soldiers, fought in the front with Huaidong armor soldiers, used the royal door panel as a big shield, opened the north gate, and rushed towards the rebels blocked by the north gate.

Zhang Yubo and Liu Xilin led their troops to retreat into the Chu Palace, and Chen Hansan was unwilling to contain too many troops for the Chu Palace, so he only arranged five or six hundred soldiers at the north and south gates to blockade, wanting to clean up these small miscellaneous fish after defeating the main force of the Huaidong Army entering Xuzhou. Who would have thought that these small trash fish, which were inconspicuous at the beginning of the war, would become the last straw that crushed the rebels.

The rebels demolished the houses outside the north and south gates of the Chu Palace, and piled up a chest-high parapet wall with bricks and stones, and rejected horses and other objects to form a simple barricade. If there is no change in the Jingma River battlefield, it is enough to use barricades and two battalions of soldiers to block more than 1,000 miscellaneous soldiers in the palace of the king of Chu and not get out.

At this time, the situation reversed, and the main force of the Xuzhou rebels was defeated on the Jingma River battlefield, with casualties and casualties, which had a earth-shaking impact on the morale of both sides involved in the war.

The Huaidong army was coming to Xuzhou City, and there were only 3,000 guards left in Xuzhou City, and even at this time, no one knew whether Chen Hansan was dead or alive, and people were panicking.

The Huaidong Army rushed to Xuzhou City and came with cavalry, and the number was only six or seven hundred, but the Huaidong Army completely mastered the Jingma River battlefield at this time, and more soldiers and horses would be transferred to attack Xuzhou City at any time.

The six or seven hundred cavalry Huaidong troops who came in advance were more like not letting the three thousand defenders of Xuzhou City escape from the city calmly.

The defenders of Xuzhou City, at this time, were not thinking about holding the city and waiting for reinforcements, but about whether they could escape, or simply open the door and surrender, and whether they could get their lives.

The five or six hundred rebels deployed at the north gate of the Chu Wangfu, how could they continue to blockade the Chu Wangfu at this time? It's just that he didn't receive further orders, and he didn't dare to evacuate easily, but when Liu Xilin led more than 500 brave soldiers to kill like wolves and tigers, seeing that it was useless to block with bows and crossbows, the battle spirit was like a pile of sand towers, and he was about to stab him at the last time.

The barricade wall was chest-high, and the Huaidong warriors rushed to the nearest place and turned the door panel upside down to form a ladder. At present, dozens of armor soldiers wearing thick armor, wielding heavy weapons such as knives and bayonets, under the cover of crossbowmen on both wings, forced their way up the ladder, jumped off the parapet, and killed the rebels.

As more and more soldiers rushed through the barricades, the rebels at the north gate of the palace could not resist the retreat. At first, there were rules for advancing and retreating, but I didn't know who took the lead in escaping, and these hundreds of remnants fled in a swarm - Liu Xilin ignored these remnants of the defeated soldiers, and the rebels in the city were mainly concentrated in the north city, and he led people directly to the east gate.

Liu Xilin led his troops out of the Chu Wangfu, and the last bit of the 3,000 rebels in Xuzhou City collapsed, first the Xicheng half battalion rebels abandoned the city gate, and then the 506 rebels who blocked the south gate of the Chu Wangfu spread their feet and fled to the north city.

There were more than 300 rebels at the East City Gate, and the guards still wanted to resist, but when Liu Xilin led his troops to attack, the guards cut off their heads with a knife, and the rest knelt down and surrendered and begged for mercy.

The rebels in the city were so vulnerable, Li Liang led the cavalry to wander outside the city, intercepting the rebels fleeing out of the city, and was not in a hurry to enter the city for a while, Liu Xilin left a team of soldiers to guard the east gate, and then led his troops to Chen Hansan's system to kill the Si Yamen.

Although Xuzhou is poor, Chen Hansan is also a hero, and the accumulation over the years will not be too small, and more importantly, Chen Hansan cannot be allowed to escape calmly in the back house of the Si Yamen......

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

Nahe Xiongqi learned that Chen Han's three subordinates had been defeated, and knew that he had lost the opportunity to seize Xuzhou City, so he yelled with hatred.

Na He Xiongqi is not slow, as long as Chen Hansan can hold on for another hour, even if he can't win completely, but it is safe to press 10,000 elite cavalry from the flanks and eat 20,000 elites in Huaidong, who would have expected that Chen Hansan could not even withstand the first counterattack of the Huaidong Army?

Chen Hansan's 20,000 soldiers and horses are still known as elite, elite fart!

Na Hexiongqi's face sank like cold water, but in his heart he was angry and scolded his mother and scolded the sky.

A moment ago, I was secretly rejoicing at the big victory that was about to be at my fingertips, but now I have a headache about how to clean up the mess, which is just like seeing a delicious meatloaf hanging in front of me and opening my mouth to bite it, but accidentally breaking my teeth.

The gap is so huge that it is difficult for Nahe Xiongqi, who has always been calm and serious, to accept it.

Morale is the most important factor that cannot be ignored.

Although Na He Xiongqi and Zhou Zhizhong still had 30,000 soldiers and horses available, at this time, his own strength was exhausted, and Na He Xiongqi knew that even if he pressed the more than 10,000 cavalry who walked nearly 400 miles in two days and two nights, it would be impossible to shake the position of the Huaidong Army.

Nahe Xiongqi ordered the deputy general to lead the main force to rest in Weimiaopo, and he led more than 1,000 cavalry to the periphery of Shajiaji to watch the situation.

Zhou Pu, Sun Zhuang, and Li Liang led their troops to gallop on both sides of the Jingma River to kill Chen Hansan's rout, and Liu Miaozhen led more than 10,000 elites to stand in front of Shajiaji and form a formation, solid as a mountain.

So that Mo Jiben guarded the camp, and Zhou Zhizhong, surrounded by more than 1,000 horsemen, rushed out of Shajiaji to join Nahe Xiongqi.

"The last general is incompetent, please punish Na Hexiongqi!" Zhou Zhizhong turned over and dismounted, kneeling in front of Na He Xiongqi's horse to plead guilty.

"General Zhou, get up, you can't be blamed for this, and you blame me for being one step late!" Na He Xiongqi had a fire in his heart, and he didn't get off the horse to pick up Zhou Zhizhong, but he also knew that Zhou Zhizhong couldn't be blamed for this battle.

If there is responsibility, it should be that Ye Jiduodi and Yuan Lishan were too conservative when Chen Hansan sent his son to seek attachment.

Zhou Zhizhong's department was originally a stone thrown out to ask for directions, if it was decided to send 20,000 elite cavalry to take Xuzhou City from the beginning, how could there be a chance for the Huaidong Army?

Zhou Zhizhong didn't ask Na He Xiongqi to get off the horse and pick him up, and when he heard Na He Xiongqi say this, he got up from the snow.

Anyway, he and Chen Hansan had 40,000 troops together, and he calmly defeated Chen Han's three divisions for the Huaidong army, he couldn't say that there was no culpability at all - to say that the biggest responsibility was that the Huaidong army was too cunning, who would have expected that the Jingma River would break the ice at a critical moment, and almost in the blink of an eye, Chen Hansan's troops would fall into chaos?

"Xu is still having a chance to capture Xuzhou City, please ask General Xu Mo of Nahe to make meritorious service and lead the cavalry around! Not all rivers will be troubled by Huaidong! Zhou Zhizhong was so angry about Huaidong's trickery, although he said that he wanted to fight and lead his troops to take Xuzhou City, but he really didn't want to fight anymore.

Liu Miaozhen led more than 10,000 infantry armor to form a formation in the south of Shajiaji, and there were also several rivers passing through around Shajiaji, I don't know why Huaidong was able to induce the Jingma River ice to break at a critical moment, and how to send troops to entangle Liu Miaozhen's more than 10,000 infantry armor?

If you don't get entangled with Liu Miaozhen's more than 10,000 infantry armor in the south of Shajiaji, how can you send cavalry to bypass and capture Xuzhou City?

Standing on a hill in the northwest direction of Shajiaji, Nahe Xiongqi and Zhou Zhizhong could see the battlefield on both sides of the Jingma River in a state of disarray, the remnants of the rout soldiers were all over the mountains, and there were several pillars of smoke in Xuzhou City in the distance.

Na He Xiongqi shook his head painfully and said, "It's too late......"

After contacting Chen Hansan before, he knew that there were still more than 1,000 miscellaneous soldiers in Xuzhou City who retreated to the Chu Palace, and stubbornly resisted.

I didn't think about it before, after all, not everyone in Xuzhou City had no integrity, and they all followed Chen Hansan to defect, but at this time, I could feel that the more than 1,000 miscellaneous soldiers were probably a poisonous move deployed by Huaidong in Xuzhou City in advance.

Chen Han's three troops were defeated, the generals and soldiers were panicked, and they had no fighting spirit, and there were more than 1,000 miscellaneous soldiers in Huaidong in Xuzhou City, which was the decisive force.

I don't know how long the ice of the Jingma River has broken, and there is Jiuli Mountain in the east, so I sent cavalry to go around Xuzhou, and I had to walk an extra thirty or forty miles to get to the city of Xuzhou, how could I get in time?

"So what now?" Zhou Zhizhong took the opportunity to ask, even if the troops were withdrawn immediately, this idea would have to be taken by Na He Xiongqi. At this time, it is still too late to evacuate, but on the south bank of the Jingma River, Chen Hansan still has a remnant of the village to hold onto, do you want to rescue them?

To save the remnants of Chen Hansan on the south bank of the Jingma River, it is also simple, as long as Nahe Xiongqi transfers more than 10,000 elites, the Huaidong Army will inevitably shrink, and even retreat to Xuzhou City, and Chen Hansan's remnants on the south bank of the Jingma River will naturally be able to get out of trouble.

However, after Huaidong seized Xuzhou, there was no need to send heavy troops to strictly guard the three cities of Suining, Suyu, and Huaiyang on the south side of Xuzhou, and Huaidong could mobilize tens of thousands of elites from these three cities to come to Xuzhou to support, and the time was only one day.

In addition, Huaixi Dongyuan's department, first had soldiers and horses to the north into Suiyang and Yucheng, while Liang Chengchong had soldiers and horses in Caozhou and Jining, and these four cities were on the north side of Xuzhou. Xuzhou was taken by Huaidong, Dong Yuan and Liang Chengchong no longer have any worries, will they send troops to Yutai and Peixian to intercept their way back?

can't gamble on the safety of 30,000 soldiers and horses for Chen Hansan!

Na Hexiong Qi said categorically: "Withdraw, withdraw immediately!" ”

Na He Xiongqi and Zhou Zhizhong wanted to withdraw, but Liu Miaozhen might not be willing to let them get their wish.

Just when Nahe Xiongqi made the decision to immediately retreat north, the more than 10,000 Huaidong Bujia who had assembled in the south of Shajiaji moved, and forced towards the Shajiaji camp again!

Zhou Zhizhong was shocked and scolded angrily: "This bitch has a big heart and wants to leave my department behind!" ”
