The shouts of killing at the camp gate alarmed Zhao Liangdong in the big tent.

He picked out the tent and saw the soldiers in the camp running around. He also saw the fire in front of the gate of the back camp of the camp, and was shocked.

What does the enemy actually attack the camp from behind?

Zhao Liangdong felt a stern heart, and while shouting loudly, "Don't panic, everyone will return to their own position!", he ordered his personal guards to gather.

At this time, he turned over and rode on the horse that his personal soldiers pulled, shouting loudly: "Archer, musketeer hold on to the camp, and someone running around will kill!"

"Personal Guard, follow my future!" Zhao Liangdong shouted loudly, then pulled out his horse and rushed to the back camp gate, and the brigade's personal guards also went to the back camp.

After all, the Zhou army has been through a long battle formation and often faces raids from Mongolian cavalry, so they have already developed certain strategies for responding to the attack camp.

After Zhao Liangdong made a loud order, the Zhou army gradually arranged defense lines amid the officer's call after the initial panic.

The Zhou army musketeers and archers rushed to the walls of the Dao Village, shooting and killing the enemy troops that dared to approach, while a large number of infantry troops rushed to the back camp to drive away the Ming army that was storming into the camp.

At this time, Zhao Liangdong had just led his troops to fight, and Li Yuanyin led the cavalry and had already poured into the camp.

The Ming cavalry, waving the hooks and locks, hung up the wooden fence, and the war horses pulled back hard, and immediately uprooted the Zhou army's battalion wall.

"Kill!" Li Yuanyin roared loudly, and the cavalry rushed into the camp with their horses, chopping the Zhou soldiers one by one, which shocked the Zhou army to panic and scattered.

Seeing this, Zhao Liangdong quickly stopped the reins of the horse, "The spearmen formed a formation, and the cavalry rushed for me!"

The Zhou army's spearmen who arrived, formed a formation with guns between the gaps in the tent, preventing the Ming cavalry from rushing into the front camp, causing greater chaos.

Zhao Liangdong led the cavalry to welcome him and fought with the Ming army.

At this time, hundreds of large and small ships and rafts of large and small ships on the south bank of the Huai River launched a charge, and the cannons on the walls of the front camps in the Zhou army suddenly roared together, splashing water columns in the river.

The Ming army warships did not avoid artillery fire and rushed directly to the river beach. Countless soldiers jumped off the stranded ships. The infantry carried muskets and bayonets to charge. The artillery set up tiger cannons on the beach and bombarded the Zhou army camp.

On the village wall, thousands of muskets extended out from the gap between the wooden fences, aimed at the Ming soldiers covering the river beach, and pulled the trigger together.

"Bang bang bang" The smoke of gunpowder filled the village wall, shooting out lines of fire, hitting the beach, and gravel splashed.

The Ming soldiers half-kneeled and pulled the trigger together. The "bang bang" gunshot made the wooden chips splash in the village wall.

At this time, Zhou camp was attacked by the Ming army on both sides, and the Ming army launched a surging impact.

In the back camp, Li Yuanyin stabbed a Zhou general to death with a spear, and then fought with Zhao Liangdong. As the two fought, countless Ming troops rushed into the camp from the gap.

After all, the Zhou army was only 10,000,000, and was attacked from both sides, gradually lost its support and was killed and retreated step by step.

"Military gate, the front battalion was broken!" Suddenly, a general Zhou shouted urgently.

Zhao Liangdong forced Li Yuanyin to retreat with a shot and hurriedly pulled out his horse and left the battle group. Li Yuanyin wanted to pursue him, but was blocked by two Zhou army captains and killed three horses into a group.

At this time, Zhao Liangdong looked back and saw that he transferred a large group of troops to the rear camp to drive the Ming army into the camp, but it caused the shortage of troops in the front camp and was captured by the Ming army in Shouzhou.

Seeing this, Zhao Liangdong was both heartbroken. He looked angry, but he could only grit his teeth unwillingly and said, "Break through!"

After speaking, he stopped fighting and pulled out his horse and left. Seeing this, Li Yuanyin stabbed two Zhou generals who were blocking his body to death. He took the body off the horse. Seeing Zhao Liangdong's back, he immediately roared, "Don't leave!"

Just now, Li Yuanyin and Zhao Liangdong fought against horses and found that this man had extraordinary combat power. He knew that he was Duanlang Zhao Liangdong, so he naturally did not allow him to escape.

After speaking, Li Yuanyin chased after him with his spear and killed several people in succession.

Zhao Liangdong was shocked and ran wildly. Seeing Li Yuanyin chasing him, he immediately took the bow and arrow on the saddle, suddenly stood up and turned around and shot.

While galloping, Li Yuanyin stormed the arrow with a spear. Zhao Liangdong didn't check the results of the battle, so he grabbed the horse's belly and galloped away.

Li Yuanyin was shocked by the arrows. When he looked at him again, Zhao Liangdong had already fled into the crowd.

Soon, the camp gate was wide open to the west of Zhouying, and the Zhou cavalry roared out of the camp gate, ran out of the camp, and fled north in a hurry.

The Ming army rushed into the camp in large numbers, and the flames soared into the sky, killing the Zhou army that had not yet escaped.

~~~~~~

Under the city of Xuzhou, the Zhou army camp spread.

In the tent of the coach, Wu Guozhu threw his helmet on the seat and said angrily: "Sure enough, if you attack a strong city like Xuzhou, you will not be able to hit it for a while without a giant cannon."

The Zhou army had been attacking Xuzhou for more than a month, and the soldiers suffered heavy losses and consumed huge food, but there was no way to deal with the Xuzhou city.

This made Zhou Jun feel a little discouraged.

Wu Sangui sat in the commander's position, his face was not good-looking. Seeing this, Hong Chengchou could only cough lightly, stand up and say, "Don't be anxious, generals. This Xuzhou is indeed high and thick. However, the troops of the Duke of Wu have already attacked the city today. If you work harder, Xuzhou may be broken."

Wu Guozhu refused to respond and worked harder. In the past month, he had been working harder several times. Now his back pain is so painful that he really can't do it anymore.

The Zhou army had already paid a huge price to attack Xuzhou. Not to mention anything else, just ensuring the army's supplies would vacate the national treasury.

Zhao Ming was also unethical. He regained the land in the north, and did not return the fields to the people, but distributed them to the people to grow food, but instead gave them to the gentry and merchants. He did some manor planting, so that all the people became slaves to the gentry and merchants.

These merchants and gentry were all the masters who sucked blood and marrow and naturally planted economic crops such as cotton with higher value when they got land, but they did not grow food, which made the Zhou army unable to obtain supplies from near Xuzhou.

This was something Hong Chengchou did not expect, but Zhou State had already put in a huge amount of manpower and financial resources, and it was impossible for him to give up at this time.

Seeing that the generals were shaken, Hong Chengchou could only continue to persuade: "The war has been so bad that our army is so uncomfortable, and the enemy in the city is so bad. Now, our army must take advantage of the time when the Zhao thieves have no time to take care of Xuzhou. Xuzhou is very important to our Great Zhou. I see that the Zhao thieves are in the north will not be popular with the people. As long as my Great Zhou takes over Xuzhou, I will give the people the land of Shandong and Hebei to farm, and the people will immediately submit to them, which is enough to compete with the Zhao thieves. If you can't take Xuzhou, you should know the consequences."

Wu Sangui had a gloomy face. After hearing Hong Chengchou's words, he fully recognized Hong Chengchou's analysis. If the Great Zhou could not unify the north, it would not be able to achieve division of the north and the south, and it would be mostly defeated by Zhao Ming in the end.

"The Prime Minister is right!" Wu Sangui stood up, glanced at the generals, clenched his fists, "After attacking for so long, the Xuzhou defenders are almost out of reach. The Great Zhou must seize Xuzhou."

As soon as Wu Sangui finished speaking, an official hurriedly picked up the tent and reported urgently, "Your Majesty, something is not good. News from Nanjing that Zhao thieves attacked Nanjing, and Zhu Yihai raised fire and burned himself."

"What?" Wu Sangui heard the words and felt a drought thunder explode in his mind, which instantly shocked his three souls to leave his body.

Hong Chengchou was also full of horror. The Zhou army attacked Xuzhou for more than a month but did not take down Xuzhou. The city of Nanjing is stronger than Xuzhou, and there are more than 100,000 troops. How can one lose if it is defeated?

The Zhou army in the tent was shocked, and Wu Guozhu said in shock: "Zhao Zamao quelled the civil strife, and the army would definitely attack Xuzhou."

Hong Chengchou hurriedly shouted: "Don't panic! The Zhao thief just attacked Nanjing and could not threaten us for a while."

At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps came outside the tent. Soon, the curtain that had just been lifted was lifted open again, and a gust of cold wind poured in, causing everyone's necks to shrink.

Wu Sangui and Hong Chengchou saw a Zhou army soldier robbing the generals and fell to the ground with a pounce.

The generals of the Zhou army were shocked. Wang Pingfan hurried forward, helped the soldiers up, and shouted, "What's going on?"

The soldier had many injuries on his body, and there was a blood hole on his back, and the blood still oozed out from time to time. He pointed to the west and panted like a cow, "Your Majesty, Zhao, Zhao Junmen, was defeated in Shouzhou, and the Ming army rushed straight to Kaifeng."

After a word came out, the whole house was shocked.

Hong Chengchou felt a stream of passion rushing up, his head was soaring, and his whole body shook for a few times, almost cerebral infarction.

Wu Sangui's eyes were prominent and he exclaimed in a burst of voice, "No, the miscellaneous hair is going to break my way out!"
