Thirty miles outside Xuzhou City, bypassing Xuzhou in advance, the 10,000 Ming cavalry who were ambushing here had been waiting for a long time.

At this time, the sky was getting brighter. Li Yuanyin stopped his horse and stood up, staring at the Qing army marching in panic on the road with sharp eyes.

Xihan and others were eager to escape, but the scouts were not sent to him, not knowing that the danger had come quietly.

At this time, the Qing army fled for thirty miles in one go, with no one in a row, but they had no intention of stopping.

Xihan, Ezhan and others were urging me to make a sudden sound of cannons in the mountains and forests on both sides.

Li Yuanyin immediately shouted loudly, "Kill!"

"Kill!"

Ten thousand cavalry, divided into several strands, ran out from behind the woods and hills, and rushed towards the Qing army in a scattered formation on the road.

The sudden sound of killing and the Ming cavalry running out were scared to death by the Qing soldiers who were already frightened. Their souls were scattered and the team was suddenly in chaos.

"Don't be in trouble!" Xihan and others were shocked. Seeing the Qing army on the road, they were frightened and roared loudly.

At this time, Li Yuanyin led the cavalry to rush into the formation, the Ming cavalry pierced the horses and spears, and the battle knives slashed, and the Qing soldiers' heads rolled and blood mist was scattered.

The Qing army, whose team was stretched for several miles, could not fight against the cavalry that had been charged in an established manner. In an instant, they were in chaos by the Ming cavalry and divided into several sections, screaming in succession.

In less than a quarter of an hour, more than 10,000 Qing troops were killed by the Ming army and collapsed on the whole line, with heavy casualties and fled in scattered areas.

The cavalry came and went like the wind, and attacked like thunder. Once the cavalry broke into the formation, the rest would be slaughtered.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Belleshehan hurriedly shouted, "Run out!"

He led dozens of cavalry and charged forward, trying to break through the siege, but a general of the Ming army rushed towards him.

The person who came was Li Yuanyin, riding a black horse, wearing silver armor, holding a horse spear of 18 feet in hand, and a sharp head of the spear, three feet long.

Li Yuanyin jumped over the horse and pushed his spear, and stabbed him directly. As the two horses crossed, the sharp spear head pierced Xihan's chest armor. The spear head was directly poked out from the back and pulled him off the horse.

Xihan's body was pushed away from the saddle by a huge impact. The body hit the ground hard and died tragically on the spot.

Seeing this, the remaining Qing army immediately scattered and rushed to escape.

With more than 10,000 Qing soldiers, only a few of them broke through and fled northwards, and most of them were either killed or surrendered on their backs.

Doni rushed out of the northern city of Xuzhou and headed north, chasing Xihan, while he was running, and heard the sound of killing sounds in front of him.

"Prince, Xihanbeile is ambushed!" A Qing general exclaimed.

Doni's face was unstable. He looked back at the more than a thousand soldiers behind him. He gritted his teeth, pulled out the reins of the horse, and shouted: "Go west and go to Luoyang!"

After speaking, he activated his war horses and ran westward, avoiding the two armies fighting in front of him. Without rescuing Xihan, he went directly to Luoyang Shang Kexi, and Geng Zhongming left.

Seeing this, more than a thousand Qing troops did not dare to say anything, and they all pulled their horses to follow.

...

At dawn, the shouts of killing in Xuzhou City gradually became quiet, and the sound of soldiers could no longer be heard. The Ming army completely controlled the city.

Wang Chaoxian, Wang Yi, Dang Shousu and other generals first entered the city to clear out and waited for safety in the city, and then welcomed Zhao Ming into the city.

At this time, Zhao Ming had already returned to the camp and was listening to Hu Weizong who had rushed from Yangzhou and reported.

After hearing Hu Weizong's words, Zhao Ming's face became gloomy and asked, "This matter is serious!"

Hu Weizong nodded and bowed: "The Military Information Department has found out the roughly important thing, it should be true."

Zhao Ming heard the words and was silent for a long time, "The Lone King has learned about this."

Hu Weizong said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, if you want to transfer troops back? If you don't deal with this matter, you will cause chaos!"

Zhao Ming waved his hand, "You continue to monitor, don't ask about other things, don't make decisions without authorization, and everything is reported to the orphan."

Seeing this, Hu Weizong could only salute melancholy, "Okay!"

At this time, as soon as Hu Weizong left, Wang Shuang entered the tent of the commander and reported to Zhao Ming with joy: "Report to the Regent! The Governor of the King has controlled Xuzhou. Please ask the Regent to enter the city to calm the people!"

"You go and prepare!" Zhao Ming waved his hand and said, "I will come afterwards."

Seeing that the Regent was not in high spirits, Wang Shuang was surprised that Xuzhou was captured and the road to the Northern Expedition was no longer hindered. Why was the Regent so calm?

When Wang Shuang was ready to go out of the tent, Zhao Ming stood up and moved his body. Then he picked up his helmet and picked up his curtain to get out of the tent.

In the early morning, Zhao Ming ate something, then rode a tall horse and entered Xuzhou City under the escort of his personal army.

The Xuzhou garrison had an internal conflict, and the Ming army easily seized the city. It was said that the battle in the city should not be fierce. However, Zhao Ming rushed into the city and saw blood everywhere on both sides of the street, and corpses that had not been transported away.

In the dark night, the rebels killed the Qing army, the Qing army killed the rebels, the rebels killed the Han army, the Han army killed the rebels, and the Ming army killed the entire Xuzhou, causing blood to flow into a river, and corpses were everywhere, and many people were affected.

China has been in turmoil for nearly fifty years, and the population has decreased by more than half. What Zhao Ming lacks the most now is the population.

Seeing the scene in the city, Zhao Ming couldn't help but frown, "Let the army clean up the bodies and pile them up in the city will scare the people!"

When the Dynasty heard the order first, he immediately called his subordinates to do it, and then accompanied Zhao Ming to the Yu Palace, stepping on a golden lacquer plaque and entering the palace.

"Your Highness, except for surrendering the Qing army in the city, all the rest of them were beheaded!" Wang Yi bowed his fists.

Zhao Ming nodded slightly and asked, "How many people surrendered in the city?"

Wang Yi said: "This has not been counted yet, but the surrendered general has already counted it on his own."

While he was talking, Wang Shuang led Huang Ting, Huang Jian and other surrendered generals and walked in.

Among these people, Zhao Ming only knew Huang Ting and Huang Jian, and a few of them were familiar with each other. They were probably also surrendered generals from Donghai who surrendered to the Qing army in Jiangbei. The rest were nonsense, probably the inner-comers in the city.

When Huang Ting entered the hall, he saw Zhao Ming, and immediately knelt on the ground with tears flowing like a spring, kowtowed and said, "Sinner Huang Ting, pay homage to the general!"

Seeing this, Zhao Ming heard him call him the commander, and was moved deep in his heart, but he said coldly: "Don't mention the past things. You betrayed Yu Gu, but now you will betray Yu Gu anyway, and you will not be able to take the soldiers in the future, but Gu Gu will not have to worry about food and drink for the rest of your life!"

Seeing that Zhao Ming was doing his job in business, Huang Ting did not talk about his past feelings and did not dare to call the general again, so he could only kowtow quickly, "I thank Your Highness for your kindness!"

Zhao Ming nodded slightly and said coldly: "If you continue to lead the troops and give them a good title, I will be sorry to the soldiers who have been with me for many years, and I will also be sorry to the brothers who died. This time you offer Xuzhou, the past will be cancelled. I will give you an errand and go to farm outside the pass. If you keep your duty, you will still have a day to stand out. You can convince me of the arrangements of me!"

Huang Ting knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "I'm sorry for your crimes, thank you for not killing me."
