"Where did the guards come from?" Tong Guan was also dumbfounded looking at the mansion newspaper, and then he saw Wu Bingyi take out a map.

He recognized that this was the map they had copied in Shandong. After careful study by Tong Guan and others, the details of the painting were all amazed that it was definitely a military weapon.

At this time, the map Wu Bingyi took out drew a few circles on the ground of Xuzhou. He pointed to the place and analyzed Tong Guan, and quickly put forward his own idea-"The protection thieves who attacked Xuzhou were mostly We went by water from Sizhou."

Hearing this, Tong Guan remembered that he had heard that the Protectorate Army had traces of activities in Sizhou.

"But I don't hear that Sizhou is in a hurry, how can the protection thief have such a big momentum?"

Facing Tong Guan's question, Wu Bingyi could only express his conjecture: "It's probably because the Supervisory Committee and the protection thieves had gained a lot of power in Sizhou before, but the local officials were afraid of being blamed by the officials and dared not go to It's just a report."

Tong Guan was stunned. He never imagined that the Protectorate Army could establish such a large armed force in Sizhou, which is far away from Shandong. If Xuzhou can be conquered in one fell swoop, the required soldiers and horses will cost at least [-] to [-]. An unknown base of [-] to [-] soldiers and horses, how big would that be, at least half a county town?
After that, Tong Guan cursed repeatedly: "These idiots who are greedy for life and fear of death didn't report such a big thing in the morning!"

He looked at the geographical location of Sizhou. Although Sizhou is poor, it is actually an important road for transportation. From here, you can go directly north to Xuzhou, which is related to the safety of the entire Jianghuai River.

Unknowingly, the treasure guard had inserted such a powerful team in Sizhou, which is terrifying to think about.

"Enxiang, what should we do?"

Wu Bingyi's words made Tong Guan wake up again, he looked at Wu Bingyi, and then the expression on his face changed several times.

"Order the whole city to prepare its troops, and let's retreat to the west!"

Hearing that Wu Bingyi was not talking anymore, Tong Guan had already made a decision at this time. After knowing that the Protectorate Army was about to take Xuzhou, Tong Guan understood that the Protectorate Army did not just want to entangle with him in Shandong, but wanted to entangle with Da Song. negotiation.

Then there's nothing wrong with him.

Now that the protection army wants to take down Xuzhou, they have pinched the imperial court by seven inches. This negotiation has to be discussed if not discussed.

A city as big as Xuzhou is in danger, and it is not a big deal for his [-] army to defeat Shandong.

Tong Guan was even a little thankful that Xu Zhou would stand up for him.

And he also understands that this Fan County is too prominent, if he defends here, the attack of the protection army will definitely come first.

Originally, he planned to defend Fan County to the death because the imperial court couldn't justify the death of the [-] troops, so he had to defend.

But now that the Protecting Army is already attacking Xuzhou, it has been proved that the strength of the Protecting Army is far greater than the previous court's expectation, so the loss of his [-] troops can be fooled.

Since there is a glimmer of life, why should he still fight Hu Baojun in Fan County.

No matter what Tong Guan said, he was already a prince of the country. Even if he was defeated, he would have a way to retreat, but there was no point in giving his life away here.

If you think about it carefully, the siege of Xuzhou is not only not a bad thing but also great news for Tong Guan.

For Tong Guan, such a good opportunity was also fleeting, and that night Tong Guan quickly ordered the soldiers to withdraw from Fan County.

The Song Army who received Tong Guan's order was also full of joy. There are only a few thousand of them in total. After seeing the horror of the frontal charge of the protection army, everyone knows that if they want to defend the city, they will probably fall into a hellish battle. , now that Tong Guan agrees with them to escape, in their view, it is simply reincarnation.

In the early morning of the next day, these thousands of soldiers and horses prepared quickly at a speed that was unimaginable before, and they didn't even forget to bring the floating fortune that they had robbed this time. fled to the west.

Their destination was Puzhou, and they didn't miss it all the way. The supervisors on the road saw that they were deserters and stopped harassing them. The Song army didn't stop some of the Song army's military households who fled privately. Let them flee to the new world in Shandong, each side has their own convenience, but reveals a strange and harmonious feeling.

Around Dongping City, the follow-up finishing work surrounding the First World War in Dongping is still in progress.

The rough statistics of Dongping's frontal battlefield have come out. The number of guards and soldiers who wiped out the enemy has reached [-]. In fact, the total number of Song troops killed in the frontal battlefield that morning did not exceed [-]. Almost all of the remaining people were in the follow-up was killed during the encirclement and suppression operations.

This group of rout soldiers fled in a hurry on the battlefield without any supplies in their hands. In order to survive, they went to the subordinate supervisory committees of Dongping Mansion to burn, kill and loot that night under the command of their generals.

The armed forces of the supervisory committees in various villages and towns in Dongping fought against this group of rout soldiers, winning and losing each other. At the same time as they were fighting, they also promptly notified the regular army of the protection army to hunt down and kill these soldiers and bandits. The soldiers ran away with their heads in their hands.

Now there are only more than 7 of the original 3 troops of the Song Army. They are divided into three parts, and two of them are circling under Dongpingfu City.

The general of the Song Army, Bi Sheng, collected the most regular soldiers and horses, and even a relatively well-organized cavalry. More than 1 people directly followed Tong Guan's footsteps to break through.

This army moved the fastest, and only the cavalry regiment could barely catch up with the guards. By the morning of the next day, Bi Sheng's army had already arrived at the city of Fan County.

If Tong Guan hadn't hurriedly fled Fan County in the early morning, the two would still have met, but it was a step too late. After entering Fan County, the situation of Bi Sheng and his army would be very miserable.

Originally, Fan County was where the Song army used to hoard food and grass. There should be thousands of soldiers and horses here to supplement him. The reason why Bi Sheng fled here desperately was to be able to communicate with the defenders who released the line. The city can't be defended, at least there are some food and soldiers to replenish.

But after arriving in Fan County, Bi Sheng and the others immediately cursed as soon as they found out the situation in the city.

Tong Guan entered Fan County first, and although he stayed less than a night before escaping, he took away almost all the luggage in Fan County that could be taken away, and also took away Fan County's soldiers to protect him.

It’s fine to take away the food and grass soldiers that can be taken away. The most important thing is that Tong Guan and others seem to think that the breakout troops of the Song Army will not arrive so soon, and they also imitated the supervisory committee to fortify the wall and clear the field, and directly kill Fan before leaving the city. The county granary was burned.

When Bi Sheng and others entered the city, the fire in the granary had not been extinguished, and the people rushed into the fire to grab food after Tong Guan escaped. Except for the burned food and the food that was robbed by the people, the rest waited for Bi Sheng and the others to receive it. At that time, there was only one place of scorched valley.

Bi Sheng and others couldn't help but yell at Tong Guan, but at this moment, the protection troops behind them had also arrived. No matter how embarrassing the situation was, they could only close the city and defend themselves at this moment.
