Immediately, all the generals in the big tent panicked, and there was an uproar.

  "Governor Ma, forget about Liu Zongbing and Gao Zongbing for now. When the two of them go back in the future, they can settle accounts with them after the fall! The most important thing right now is, what should we do!"

  "Yeah, Governor Ma, the two generals under the command of [-] soldiers were destroyed in the first battle. This is the main force of our army! Now that the main force has been destroyed, I am left to wait for the old, weak and sick. What should I do? !"

  "The most terrifying thing is that there is only Huang Degong's army left with combat power, but after Shuyang is cut off, it is impossible for him to protect himself! Even if he can return smoothly, it is difficult to say that he may not be able to arrive!"

  "It's over, it's over!"

  "Failed, fiasco!!"

  "How can the Weihai Guards be so terrifying with [-] soldiers, what a terrifying force, and it took so long to be beaten before they were defeated!"

  "Why don't we escape! When the Weihaiwei army has not surrounded Suqian and can still run, run as soon as possible! Otherwise, when the Weihaiwei army completes the encirclement of my Suqian, it will be too late for us to run. !"

  "Yes, yes, now the future of Suqian is still in our hands, and now is the best time to escape!"

  "Time is not waiting for me, Governor Ma, let's run!"

  "Governor Ma, if you keep the green hills without worrying about no firewood, as long as Governor Ma is still there, we will be able to continue to fight back to Huaibei sooner or later!"

  ""

  The generals under Ma Shiying's command were all panicked and full of despair.

  They have no hope of winning the Weihai Guards in this battle.

  I don’t even dare to have the thought of keeping the army under my command! There is no way to do it. It’s okay for a small number of people to escape, but it’s impossible for a large army to escape! Even the biggest possibility is that the retreat turned into a rout, and all the soldiers under his command were defeated. Become a rout! Instead, it is better to use the soldiers under your command to break them up and buy them time to escape! Didn't the military book say that this is called "abandoning the car to keep the commander"

  Ma Shiying listened to the advice of his generals, with a tangled expression on his face.

  For this battle, he was extremely unwilling, and he also spent a lot of thought and determined to fight to the end with the Weihai Guards and defend Huaibei Prefecture.

  But the fact is that it was the exact opposite of what he expected! He never imagined that Liu Liangzuo and Gao Jie, who he regarded as his support, and even the main force of the army, would be so vulnerable when facing the Weihai Guards! Leading [-] soldiers, this will not last for a few days, and it will be destroyed! [-] soldiers! This is [-] soldiers! The entire Ming Dynasty, how many thousands of soldiers can come out! It can be said that this time through The Huaihe River, sent troops to the north, and launched the decisive battle of Huaibei, which completely emptied the family of the southern Zhili, and all the soldiers of the southern Zhili prefectures were dispatched.

  But the result was that they were passive from the beginning to the end, and now they suffered a tragic defeat, an unprecedented defeat, which severely damaged the Southern Zhili Army in one fell swoop! What is even more frightening is that the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Southern Zhili Army, At this moment, he has no way to bring it back, and everything has to be lost in Huaibei.

  How can this make Ma Shiying reconciled! This is an unprecedented shame and failure for him.

  He was very unwilling and wanted to fight! However, now he has lost the bargaining chip, and he is not even qualified to fight with the Weihai Guards.

  I'm afraid, as soon as he said that he wanted to defend Suqian, his subordinate generals would immediately tie him up.

  Thinking of this, Ma Shiying looked gloomy and uncertain, frowned tightly, and finally sighed.

  He accepted his fate! He waved his hand weakly: "Since it is impossible to do anything, then run away. How to withdraw the troops is your own arrangement!"

  The generals of Zhongnan Zhili under his command, when they heard Ma Shiying's words, immediately had a happy face, they didn't care about the ending and helplessness on Ma Shiying's face, and excitedly discussed how to withdraw their troops one by one.

  Just this discussion led to a quarrel immediately.

  Everyone wants to be the first to escape, and no one wants to be the last! There was a lot of contention, but there was no troop withdrawal plan for a long time.

  "Report!"

  "I found out that the infantry and artillery units of the Weihai Guards are rushing towards Suqian. In less than an hour, they will be able to rush to the outside of Suqian City and surround Suqian City!"

  The words of the messenger made everyone in the tent panic and panic.

  "What Weihai Guards are coming soon!"

  "What a fight! If we continue to fight like this, all of us here, don't even think about running away!"

  "I don't care about you, I'll run first!!"

  "Let it be your fate!!"

  "Goodbye everyone!!"

  ""

  For a time, the generals of the Southern Zhili Army in the big tent became anxious, short-tempered, and quick-tempered, and slammed the door and left on the spot.

  Even their Governor Ma was too lazy to pay attention to the life and death, one by one rushing to escape! Seeing this scene, Ma Shiying sighed again, completely helpless and desperate.

  The morale of the army has collapsed, and this battle cannot be fought at all! It is better to run away as soon as possible and run back to the south bank of the Huaihe River.

  Having accepted his fate, he also accepted the situation, and immediately led hundreds of his servants, riding horses, and ran out of Suqian City, running wildly eastward, and fled.

  The generals under his command were also scrambling to take their own servants one by one, riding horses, galloping on horses, and following Ma Shiying's escape route one after another, they fled.

  "Governor Ma ran away with his family!!"

  "The generals also ran away!!"

  "Brothers, why are you just standing there and running away!!"

  ""

  There are tens of thousands of Chinese troops from the southern Zhili left behind in Suqian.

  Soldiers, seeing this scene, there was an uproar! They were not under the management of the officers above, and they scattered in a hurry, and they collapsed without fighting! "What?"

  "Ma Shiying's old boy escaped from the Nanzhili Central Army who stayed behind in Suqian.

  , do not fight and collapse, all run away!"

  When Zhang Yang heard the report of the cavalry scouts, he was immediately shocked, and then he was overjoyed and laughed: "Then what the hell are you waiting for Lao Tzu to chase after me!!"

  "Leave the Nanzhili Army to Lao Tzu!!"

  With a big wave of your hand, order the army to pursue the whole line! Feilu reminds you: three things to read: collect, recommend, and score

Chapter [-] Sweeps Huaibei

  The Weihai Guard cavalry, who had been busy all day, chasing the routed soldiers and taking prisoners, was at this moment because of the central army of the Nanzhili Army.

  With the rear army, you will be defeated without a fight.

  From the Governor Ma Shiying, down to the officers and generals who participated in the guerrillas and other officers, they fled with their own family members.

  As a result, the southern Zhili army on the front line of Suqian was completely defeated! The cavalry of Weihaiwei began to pursue the defeat and capture the prisoners.

  "Weihaiwei's large-scale cavalry is here, don't be afraid, let's kneel and surrender!!"

  "Surrender, surrender, you can't run!!"

  "Kneel down, kneel down, if we don't kneel down, we will all die!!"

  "Oh, I can't run anymore, I really can't run anymore, I beg for mercy, I beg for mercy!"

  "The cavalry gentlemen of Weihaiwei, we have all surrendered, don't chase us, chase those guys in front!"

  ""

  A routed soldier named Nanzhili collapsed on the spot when he saw the cavalry of Weihaiwei, each and everyone shivered, put down all resistance and surrendered on the knees.

  So there was a surprising scene, this time the cavalry didn't need to charge at all, smashing all the defeated soldiers.

  As long as the cavalry appeared in the field of vision, the routed soldiers of Nanzhili all knelt down and surrendered.

  On the other side, many cavalrymen, in units of dozens of cavalry, frantically pursued and killed the generals of Nanzhili.

  "Run, sir, Weihaiwei's cavalry is catching up!!!"

  As soon as they saw the figure of the Weihai Guard cavalry, the servants of the Nanzhili generals immediately became anxious, and began to urge frantically and anxiously.

  Those Nanzhili generals slapped the horse hips frantically one by one, gnashing their teeth, trying to speed up.

  It's just a pity, all of them are sturdy like pigs, and their weight is too heavy, even if they shoot the heart-piercing howl of the war horse under their buttocks, it will not help, and they will not be able to accelerate.

  Not to mention, the horses of the Weihai Guards cavalry are all tall horses, not to mention running fast, and each one has strong stamina.

  These southern Zhili generals could not escape the pursuit of the Weihai Guard cavalry, and they were caught up one after another.

  Anyone who resists, kill them on the spot! For a time, more than two-thirds of the generals of Nanzhili were chased back, killed and caught.

  A day later, the chasing cavalry returned.

  In Suqian City.

  "Reporting to the commander, this whole line of pursuit, our army's general Nanzhili Army's defeat in Suqian, [-]% of the troops chased back, and all of them became our prisoners!"

  "More than two-thirds of the generals of the Nanzhili Army were killed and caught!"

  The staff around him reported the results of the pursuit to Zhang Yang.

  Zhang Yang raised his eyebrows: "That is to say, in the entire Huaibei, apart from the enemy of Shuyang Huang Degong, there is no established Nanzhili Army!"

  The staff members nodded in succession: "Yes, in the entire Huaibei, except for Huang Degong's Ministry, there is no southern Zhili army!"

  After hearing this, Zhang Yang nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. The Huaibei battle with the Southern Zhili Army went very smoothly.

  Even he didn't expect that the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Nanzhili Army would be swept away by the main force of his Second Army in no time! And the key point of all this is that Ma Shi knew if his brain was burned out. He dared to have a decisive field battle with his Weihaiwei Second Army! From the moment when Liu Liangzuo and Gao Jie's troops, close soldiers, and the main force of his Second Army fought a decisive battle on the Great Plains.

  It was doomed, the Nanzhili Army suffered a fiasco! Unprecedented defeat! There was no favorable time and place, and other aspects were completely crushed by the Second Army of Weihaiwei. What did the South Zhili Army use to fight the main force of the Second Army! No! This is

  From the very beginning, it was an all-round failure in strategy and tactics! "Where is that old boy Ma Shiying!"

  Zhang Yang thought about it, and immediately thought of Ma Shiying.

  "He ran away, and none of our cavalry found him or know where he went!"

  The staff members said with regrets.

  However, Zhang Yang said indifferently: "If you run, run away, hundreds of thousands of soldiers were lost in Huaibei, and now they will lose all the territory in Huaibei, even if this old boy runs to Huainan and runs back to Fengyang, he will not be happy. Rise of the storm!"

  "Besides, I'm still looking forward to the old boy Ma Shiying, who will send me hundreds of thousands of soldiers!!"

  Speaking of which, Zhang Yang couldn't hold back any longer, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

  In this battle, he was really happy! He killed more than [-] soldiers and nearly [-] farmers in Nanzhili cleanly. Can you not be happy! In this battle, I am afraid that the backbone of the southern Zhili gentry They were all interrupted! I don't know what kind of depression it will be! However, if you think about it, you will know that the gentry of Nanzhili will definitely go mad with anger, jump with anger, and vomit blood with heartache.

  The more angry these gentlemen are, the happier he will be.

  Immediately he waved his hand and ordered: "Ma Shiying's hundreds of thousands of soldiers are finished, then the entire Huaibei is ours, we ordered to go down, rest for half a day, the whole army attacked, attacked eastward, and swept Huaibei for me. All prefectures and counties in Huaibei will be taken down!!”

  "Yes!!"

  The staff members nodded one after another, each with a smile on their face.

  Destroying more than [-] soldiers is cool, but occupying a large area is the real profit!! Moreover, if all the prefectures and counties in Huaibei are occupied, then the southern front of Weihaiwei will be completely stabilized. The strategic deployment made before will also be completely completed! Once the army is expanded in the future, then their second army can be called the real southern army! When the southern army is formed, the entire south of the Ming Dynasty will become them. The attack target of the Southern Legion! In other words, all are their prey! For the Weihai Guard, they have no enemies, only prey! The entire Ming Dynasty, all forces, are prey! The whole world, all countries, are prey! In the decisive battle of Suqian, more than [-] soldiers of the Southern Zhili Army were wiped out and suffered an unprecedented defeat.
