Chapter 876 Heavy casualties
into the night.

To be precise, it was not evening yet, and the sky had just darkened a bit.

It's just that it's still spring at this moment, and it's not too late for summer. It's not too late. Soon, the sky will gradually darken.

For a whole day, Shen Yi sat at the gate of his camp, looking in the direction of Haizhou.

The scouts under his command have also been staring at Haizhou.

As soon as it got dark, Master Shen heaved a sigh of relief, and immediately called Zhang Meng over, saying in a deep voice, "Send me the military order, pull out the camp and retreat immediately!"

"Withdraw to the southwest!"

"Besides, pass on my military order to Ling Su, no matter what the situation in Suqian is now, don't love to fight!"

"Immediately approach the Huaihe River and prepare to retreat!"

Up until this moment, Shen Yi had never known how many troops the South Zheng Army had left in Haizhou.

Therefore, he was always a little nervous, worried that he would really be surrounded by the Southern Conscript Army and make dumplings.

Zhang Meng didn't dare to slack off, and immediately sent an order to pull out the camp and retreat.

At this time, Xue Wei, who had been following Shen Yi all this time, was a little anxious. He glanced at Shen Yi and asked, "Mr. Shen, are we going to retreat like this?"

He scratched his head and said, "I haven't even touched the hair of the people of Qi, so I thought there was going to be a fierce battle."

Shen Yi looked at him quietly, and said, "Since we landed, we have wiped out nearly a thousand people from Qi. If Ling Su and the others attack Suqian, they shouldn't suffer too much, no matter what. There is a battle result of more than [-], so calculate."

Master Shen put his hands behind his back and said quietly: "This time the northward march is no worse than the last time the Eastern Front was defeated."

Xue Wei smiled helplessly: "That's what I said, but the last general's trip was in vain."

Shen Yi shook his head slightly, he looked at Xue Wei, and said slowly: "We haven't met Qi people on this side, because Qi people are indecisive, but if they can be more decisive, the battle on our side will be several times fiercer than that in Suqian more than."

"Fortunately, these Qi people have big hearts."

Speaking of this, Master Shen smiled and said, "Give us time to retreat calmly."

Xue Wei has also fought for several years, so he can naturally figure out the cause and effect of this. He looked at Shen Yi and sighed: "The last general can also understand, even if he wants to withdraw before he sees the Qi people, it is inevitable in his heart." Somewhat aggrieved."

"Our troops are small, so we can only fight like this. When the enemy advances, we retreat, and when the enemy retreats, we advance."

Speaking of this, Shen Yi glanced around at the nearby land, and said quietly: "But now, I have figured out the quality of Qi people, and one day, we will set foot on this land again and give Qi people Get out."

In the past, Shen Yi had always been somewhat vague about the specific combat capabilities and combat styles of the Qi people.

Therefore, he didn't dare to be too aggressive, and basically every time he was cautiously probing, trying to stop.

But this time going north, he got a better understanding of Qi people.

Not only in terms of combat effectiveness, but also in terms of tactical thinking.

Putting himself in the same situation, if Shen Yi stood in the position of the general of Haizhou, and Haizhou and Suqian encountered enemies at the same time, Shen Yi might not even think about it, and would immediately send troops to rescue Suqian and eat up the group of enemies who attacked Suqian.

But the Haizhou defenders remained motionless.

Their hearts are so big they want to eat both sides.

Xue Wei said with a smile on the side: "If you want me to say, the imperial court should hand over the entire Huaihe defense line to Shen Gong. In this way, Shen Gong will have more troops under his command, and lead us to fight across the Huaihe River and rob Xuzhou." The city is no problem."

Shen Yi squinted his eyes when he heard the words, but didn't answer.

"Okay, it's useless to say more, you go down too, pack up my things, and after taking them, we will retreat immediately."

Xue Wei cupped his fists: "Yes!"

It was night, and Shen Yi's army retreated towards the southwest overnight.

And Haizhou's army, under the command of Lang Yan, also quickly advanced towards Dayi Mountain, trying to enclose Shen Yi and others to the north of Huaihe River at night.

Both sides have scouts and spies.

So, around Xu time, Shen Yi and Lang Yan received the news almost at the same time.

Qianhu from the scout battalion found Shen Yi of the Chinese army, saluted Shen Yi with fists cupped, and said, "Mr. Shen, the Haizhou Qi army left the city overnight and came galloping in our direction."

"They're in a hurry."

The thousand households thought about it for a while, and then gave their own estimate: "Based on the torch calculation, it is estimated that there are more than 1 people."

When Master Shen heard the words, he let out a long laugh: "I just wanted to chase after you now, what did you do last night?"

He waved his hand, rather domineeringly: "Send an order to continue marching. In addition, report to me the location of General Ling's troops, and send someone to send them an order to retreat immediately and orderly without delay!"

"Otherwise, military law will do it!"

The thousand households bowed their heads respectfully and cupped their fists: "Yes!"

…………

At the same time, Lang Yan also received news from the scouts.

"General Lang, urgent report ahead, the southerners have escaped!"

Lang Yan's face turned dark when he heard the words: "Escaped? In which direction did you escape? When did you escape?"

"Back to General!"

The scout clasped his fists and said, "According to the news from Dayi Mountain, these southerners started to flee to the southwest before it was completely dark, moving very quickly!"

Hearing this, Lang Yan felt a little weak all over his body.

He is not a fool.

At this moment, everything is very clear.

His every move, or Haizhou's every move, was calculated to death!

Not only the actions, but also the thoughts in my heart are probably calculated!

The southern soldiers were divided into two groups, one to attack Suqian, and the other to attack Haizhou. On the first day, they marched very fast and came straight to Haizhou!

Acted decently.

And this force has never thought of attacking Haizhou. Their purpose from beginning to end is to contain Haizhou's army and create opportunities and time for Suqian's army!
And now, their goal has been achieved!
Therefore, they were very decisive, and without even thinking about it, they started to retreat!

General Lang's face was very ugly.

He knew in his heart that the distance was about a hundred miles away. At this distance, the two sides moved almost at the same time, and it was impossible to catch up.

General Lang sat on his mount and was silent for a long time. He looked in the direction of Dayi Mountain in the dark.

Chen Jun of Dayi Mountain hung up the military flag from the beginning of the march.

There is a Dusi flag and a Shen character flag.

Lang Yan's eyelids twitched.

It was the Shen character flag that misled him!

"student…"

Lang Yan spat on the ground and cursed viciously.

"The heart is so fucking dirty!"

Lang Yan cursed angrily, then raised his hand and shouted: "Order, order!"

Soon, a messenger ran over and bowed his head respectfully to him: "General!"

"Send me an order to stop chasing!"

"Transfer to Suqian, transfer to Suqian!"

At this time, as long as you are a normal person, you will understand that it must be too late to pursue Shen Yi's army. If you want to stop the loss in time, or recover the loss, you have to find a way to eat the Chen army in Suqian!

Ever since, Lang Yan's troops immediately turned to attack Suqian.

By the time they arrived in Suqian, it was already evening the next day.

The city of Suqian was in a mess.

There are traces of artillery bombardment on the city wall.

The city gates are closed.

Even, there are no flags on the city wall.

Lang Yan's eyes fixed on the county seat.

Without the flag, he didn't know if Suqian had fallen, or whether it was Daqi's army in the city or not.

With a gloomy face, he said: "Go and shout, let the defenders in the city come out and speak!"

Immediately, someone in the army stepped forward to shout, and after an unknown period of time, a flag was slowly raised on the wall of Suqian County.

There is a word "sign" embroidered on it.

Although it is a bit tattered, it can still be recognized as the flag of the Confederate Army.

Lang Yan let out a sigh of relief.

Suqian did not fall.

"Tell them that Ben is coming, and let them go out of the city to talk back!"

"Yes!"

Soon, two generals dressed in thousands of households half-kneeled in front of Lang Yan.

"I met General Lang!"

One of them, Qianhu, is Zhuli Zhenren, so he had to be more courageous. After saluting, he looked up at Lang Yan, with tears in his eyes: "General Lang, why are you here?"

"We have been beaten by the southerners for two or three days!"

The voice of Qianhu was aggrieved and angry.

However, he still had some reason and didn't continue talking.

The next sentence is, in two or three days, all the bastards in Yandu climbed to...

Hearing this, Lang Yan's face became even more ugly.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "Where are the southerners?"

"It's still in the morning."

The thousand households were dressed in messy clothes, and said with a stiff neck: "It's almost noon, and they all ran away."

Lang Yan sullenly said, "You just let them go? Did you even chase them?"

"This Suqian is a county seat, how low is the city wall?"

"The brothers were beaten for two or three days, with heavy casualties, and they were afraid that those southerners would trick them, so how dare they chase them?"

Lang Yan gave Zhu Lizhen Qianhu a vicious look, then slapped the Han Chinese Qianhu hard on the face, and cursed: "Are you dumb? Tell me about the casualties!"

The Han Chinese Qianhu was slapped, but he didn't dare to retaliate and lowered his head.

"General Lang, there are four thousand households in Suqian, and only two of us are left..."

"The casualties are heavy..."
