Zhang Yang was accompanied by artillery guards, plus five 55 mixed artillery guards, nearly a hundred artillery pieces, aimed at the city wall of Pei County, and began to bombard wildly.

  In the face of heavy artillery like Shijin Cannon, the city wall of Pei County could not stop the bombardment of this level. After ten rounds of bombardment, the city wall was completely collapsed.

  "Charge the whole army and go into the city!"

  With a big wave of Zhang Yang's hand, tens of thousands of troops, through the collapsed city wall, rushed into Pei County.

  How could the defenders of Peixian County be able to stop the main force of the second army, which was like a tiger like a wolf. No miracle happened. It was collapsed in an instant, and the whole line was defeated! Peixian County was completely won! , send the army out and attack everywhere.

  For a time, the Second Army of Weihaiwei began to ravage the entire Xuzhou Prefecture and the counties on the north bank of the Yellow River. Wherever it went, it was unstoppable! In just a few days, Xuzhou Prefectures such as Liucheng, Chacheng, and Luliang took all the prefectures and counties on the north bank of the Yellow River. Down! Most of the entire Xuzhou Prefecture, the north bank of the Yellow River, was brought under Weihaiwei's territory.

  Such an offensive frightened the gentry of Xuzhou House so much that they almost lost half their lives.

  Even the Zhenkou Gate on the other side of the Yellow River in Xuzhou Fucheng was captured by the Weihai Guards.

  It can be said that Xuzhou Fucheng is already under the muzzle of the Weihai Guards! If it is not blocked by the Yellow River, I am afraid that the entire Xuzhou Fu will not be protected! Occupied half of Xuzhou Prefecture! After occupying all the prefectures and counties on the north bank of the Yellow River in Xuzhou Prefecture, Zhang Yang simply ignored the panic-stricken Xuzhou Prefecture city on the south bank of the Yellow River, and instead led his army down the river, from Xuzhou Prefecture, into Huaian Prefecture.

Chapter [-] The awakened Ma Shiying, after Huang Degong's death

  Huaian House, Shuyang.

  "Report!!"

  "It's not good, it's not good, Governor Ma!"

  "The main force of the Second Weihaiwei Army, marching south, swept across the north bank of the Yellow River in Xuzhou Prefecture in just a few days, and occupied half of Xuzhou Prefecture! It has entered the territory of our Huaian Prefecture, and is approaching Pizhou!!”

  The report of the messengers immediately caused an uproar in the entire southern Zhili army! Many generals listened to it without discoloration, gasping for air, and they were extremely shocked.

  "How is that possible! It's too fast!!"

  "It's too fast, it's too fast, this Weihaiwei Second Army is simply unstoppable!!"

  "In just a few days, they swept the north bank of the Yellow River in Xuzhou Prefecture, occupying half of Xuzhou Prefecture, how did they do it!!"

  "I'm afraid most of the time is spent on the road. The real siege battle, I'm afraid it won't take much time!"

  "It's like a broken bamboo, it's unstoppable!!"

  "The combat effectiveness of this Weihaiwei Second Army is far beyond my imagination!"

  "horrible!!"

  "I've never seen such a ferocious offensive, an army that sieges cities and plunders the land at a very fast speed!"

  "I'm afraid I'll suffer this time. The strength of the Second Weihaiwei Army is so strong, I'm afraid that the entire Huaibei of Huai'an Mansion will not be able to hold it!"

  "It's more than we can't hold back. We have wolves in front and tigers behind. Whether we can successfully run back to the south bank of the Huaihe River, it's hard to say at present!"

  ""

  The generals of the southern Zhili army, in the past few days, have heard that the Weihaiwei Second Army has been unstoppable, invincible in battle, invincible in attack and invincible.

  They were all frightened! Their faces were full of fear! The fear of fighting and avoiding war began to explode! No wonder they lacked courage, just because the offensive of the Second Weihaiwei Army was too fierce! Anyone who hears it will murmur in their hearts. It's no wonder if they are not afraid! Ma Shiying's face is extremely ugly, and the gloomy expression is about to drip out of water. Suddenly, he thought of something, and shouted piercingly. :"Hurry up!!"

  "Leaving Shuyang, the whole army rushes to Suqian!!"

  As soon as these words came out, all the generals in the tent were awakened, and they all looked at the map.

  On the map, the distance between Pizhou and Suqian is slightly closer to the distance between Shuyang and Suqian.

  This is if the Weihai Guards attacked Pizhou and went straight to Suqian, in case they defeated Suqian's vanguard and occupied Suqian.

  Well, these middle and rear troops were not just cut off, but they were also attacked by both sides! They did not forget that part of the Weihaiwei Second Army, the four 44 guards, were behind them. , and followed them eagerly! I thought that the four 44 guards were just following behind them and taking up territory.

  Who knows, from this look, it is clearly bad! They want to join the main force of the Second Army, and they are both sides. When they think of this, everyone panics! The Zhili army is in danger! But now, there is still a problem in front of us.

  That is, who is going to break the queen! They must keep the broken army, stationed in Shuyang! Otherwise, once Shuyang is lost, they will not have any city to defend! There is no chance to defend the city, and the military heart must be Collapsing, in this state, a fight with a fart will definitely be defeated! Not to mention, in the face of

  The opponent is still such a ferocious Second Army of Weihaiwei! "There must be a rear army to stay in Shuyang City, to cut off the rear of the army and block part of the Second Weihaiwei Army to the north!"

  Ma Shiying said with a gloomy face, and glanced at the generals below.

  Everyone is silent! After this break, it is not easy to break! If you are not careful, you will lose your life in Shuyang City! Moreover, Shuyang is so far away from the Huaihe River, it will not be easy to escape back to the Huaihe River at that time! Silence , was still silent, and for a long time, the tent was silent.

  This is clearly a mission of a lifetime! Few people dare to lead it! When Ma Shiying looked helpless and wanted to call one person to lead the army, one person stood up.

  It is Huang Degong, one of the four towns in Jiangbei! The army led by Huang Degong is the most elite and the most powerful army in this southern Zhili army.

  Moreover, Huang Degong is also one of the few in the entire Ming Dynasty, since Sun Chuanting, who can be called a general soldier who can fight.

  At this time, there was a saying in Daming, "Look at Wu Sangui in the north, and look at Huang Degong in the south."

  Ma Shiying attaches great importance to Huang Degong and has high hopes! This is almost the most capable general under his command.

  But at this moment, Huang Degong stood up and said, "Governor Ma, let the last commander break!"

  Ma Shiying was silent for a while! He really didn't want Huang Degong to end it, this was a life-and-death task! Unless, the Nanzhili army he led could defeat the Second Weihaiwei Army and win the Huaibei decisive battle! Otherwise, Huang Degong would almost There is no way out! Without him, Shuyang is too far away from the Huaihe River, in the middle of Huaibei.

  Now, with the Weihai Guards in the west, the north, and even in the near future, the defenders of Shuyang, even if they defend the city, will be reduced to being surrounded by three sides! You can only break through to the east.

  What is the sea to the east! Do you want to jump into the sea after breaking through the encirclement? The most terrifying thing is that now, whether it is the Yellow River, the Huai River, or the sea, it is the world of Weihaiwei's navy! The sea route is directly blocked. ! This has already become a big encirclement! If Ma Shiying hadn't woken up in time, I'm afraid that when he fell into the big siege of the Weihaiwei Second Army and was completely blocked, he wouldn't even know.

  It was because he was awakened by the plan of the Weihaiwei Second Army that Ma Shiying shouted to the heart to move the entire army to Suqian.

  When they arrived in Suqian, even if they were defeated, they would still have the chance to flee eastward along the Yellow River to find a chance to cross the Yellow River! But if they stayed in Shuyang, they would not even have the chance to escape! What made Ma Shiying extremely painful was that Shuyang had no choice but to escape. Stay here! Otherwise, the whole army will retreat to Suqian.

  It was really surrounded by circles! And he stepped in by himself! For all this, I can't blame him, I can only blame it, the terrain of Huaibei is such a pit.

  It is extremely unfriendly to the army of the southern army going north, and it is easy to be surrounded by accident! The east is the sea, and the south is the river.

  As long as the two armies from the north and west are pressed up, an encirclement can be easily formed.

  After thinking about it, Ma Shiying didn't come up with any good solution, so he could only nod to Huang Degong: "Then you do it."

  Huang Degong nodded heavily, and said with a life-and-death attitude: "The last commander must swear to defend Shuyang. If the enemy from the north wants to go south, he must step on the last commander's body!"

  Ma Shiying nodded slightly, then waved his hand, ordering the entire army to pack up, pack lightly, and rush to Suqian with all their strength.

The [-]st chapter Huaibei decisive battle, won Pizhou

  Shuyang, north.

  The four 44 guards of the Weihaiwei Second Army, who had been eyeing the South Zhili army, immediately woke up when they saw the movement of the South Zhili army.

  "They are trying to escape!"

  "They must have found themselves surrounded and are now speeding up their escape to Suqian!"

  "Should we chase!"

  "The pursuit is to chase, but Ma Shiying is not stupid, he knows that heavy troops are guarding Shuyang and want to block our way south.

  If you want to continue to follow the Nanzhili army closely, you must completely destroy the broken army in Shuyang!"

  "Then let's fight, our four guards and tens of thousands of farmers are not too small! If they were field guards, they would have done it long ago!"

  "That's right, let's do it! It's time to prove that our garrison guards are no worse than field guards!"

  The four commanders of the 44th garrison of the Second Army, your words and my words, quickly made a decision to storm Shuyang and completely wipe out the troops left behind by the Southern Zhili Army in Shuyang! Huaian Mansion, Yellow River North Shore, Pizhou.

  The Second Army Corps, advocating Yang, left a garrison garrisoned in a large area of ​​Zhou County on the north bank of the Yellow River in Xuzhou Prefecture.

  There were only three 3 mixed guards left, a garrison guard, a cavalry guard, an artillery guard, [-] troops, and [-] farmers, forming the main force of the Second Army.

  Surround Pizhou! "Report!"

  "A letter from the commander of the four 44 garrison guards in charge of the northern attack, Ma Shiying has led the main force of the southern Zhili army and hastily rushed to Suqian.

  Because the tens of thousands of troops led by General Huang Degong are firmly guarding Shuyang, they cannot cross Shuyang and participate in the decisive battle to besiege the main force of the Nanzhili Army in Suqian!"

  "Now their four guards are intensifying their offensive against Huang Degong's army after the breakup of Shuyang, in order to be able to go south in time to participate in the Suqian decisive battle!"

  The messenger reported to the Second Army Corps.

  Zhang Yang frowned, but soon stretched out again.

  For him, this time the action to sweep Huaibei is mainly to seize the city and plunder the land, and control the entire Huaibei in his hands.

  As for the more than [-] Southern Zhili troops led by Ma Shiying, he all had the mentality of being a big fish in the net, and it would be better if he could get it, even if he couldn't, it wouldn't be a big deal.

  Once these southern Zhili troops are driven back to the south of the Huai River, then Ma Shiying's army of hundreds of thousands will not be able to turn a big wave.

  After all, once the Nanzhili Army lost all the prefectures and counties on the north bank of the Huaihe River, the Huaihe River would be an insurmountable moat to them! What surprised Zhang Yang was that Ma Shiying was brave enough to send troops to Suqian. I want to fight him in a decisive battle in Huaibei and decide the ownership of Huaibei.

  Zhang Yang naturally pushes the boat along the way, dispatching troops and trying to make dumplings for Ma Shiying's hundreds of thousands of troops! After all, the terrain in Huaibei is so good, and it would be a waste to not use the natural encirclement area! It just made him feel a little pity, Ma Shiying was obviously not an idiot.

  Let the four 44 guards in charge of the north be blocked, and it is difficult to compress the encirclement.

  The encirclement was formed, but it was only the size of the encirclement, but it was the result of the aftermath.

  Now, Zhang Yang can only hope that the four 44 garrison guards in the north can break out a little, even if Huang Degong's troops in Shuyang are broken down and pressed down from the north, forming a small encirclement.

  Of course, in order to eat Ma Shiying

  The hundreds of thousands of troops, Zhang Yang was the first time to ask for help from the navy. He asked the two squadrons left behind by the Weihai Fleet and a large number of armed merchant ships to sail on the Yellow River and Huaihe River, as well as the sea merchants in the east, forming a large encirclement! This encirclement, the original It is the right time and place.

  Zhang Yang didn't design it specifically at all, he just pushed the boat along the way, and the result he got was beyond his expectations.

  The formation of the encirclement is really good! Looking at the entire Huaibei map on the sand table, whether it is Shuyang in the north or Pizhou in the west, they are constantly advancing and compressing the encirclement.

  And the large number of artillery and battleships wandering in the east and south made Ma Shiying's southern Zhili army have no way to escape! Of course, Ma Shiying and other senior officials in southern Zhili wanted to escape back to the south bank of the Huaihe River on a small scale, that was feasible.

  It's just a large scale, and it is basically impossible for the army to cross the Yellow River and the Huai River once again! The two remaining squadrons of the Jinghai Fleet were dispatched to prepare for this situation! "Next, that is to enjoy this slowly. A great meal”

  Looking at the increasingly obvious encirclement, Zhang Yang showed an excited smile on his face.

  Hundreds of thousands of troops! And they are all real soldiers! This is unprecedented fat! Once swallowed, the gentry of Nanzhili will probably have half of their backbones broken! I want to recover It's hard! "The whole army is ready to attack the city!"

  "The artillerymen, fire the artillery, and smash the city wall of Pizhou down for me!"

  "I want to take down Pizhou as soon as possible and open the west gate to Suqian!"

  It seemed that an unprecedented battle was waiting for him, and Zhang Yang became excited.

  His Huaibei decisive battle can be said to be the fiercest, most tragic, and the biggest battle of the three battlefields in Weihaiwei! After all, Shandong and Beizhili are not as strong as Nanzhili. Strong army.

  Can take out hundreds of thousands of soldiers in one breath! "Cannon! Cannon!!"

  Nearly a hundred artillery pieces were aimed at the city wall of Pizhou, and their anger was like a meteorite-like cannonball, smashing on the city wall of Pizhou.
