Tributaries of Huai River and along the Whishui River.

Zhao Ming's army advanced rapidly along the river bank against the river.

In front, the cavalry were galloping around, staring at the army and exploring the enemy situation ahead.

Behind were densely packed with new troops wearing coats, iron helmets, muskets, heavy infantry wearing armor and spears, and accompanying artillery teams.

Looking down from the sky, I saw the marching troops stretching for dozens of miles beside the Wo River.

The battle flags were flew in the cold wind, and the army and the transporting materials were spreading forward and backward, and it was endless to see at a glance, which was extremely spectacular.

At this time, under the banner of Dazhang, Zhao Ming was riding on a horse, Zhang Jiayu and others joined the army, unfolding the map and introducing the terrain to him.

"Your Highness, the messenger reported that Wu Sangui had withdrawn from Xuzhou, and the army of the governor of the king was pursuing him from behind." Zhang Jiayu said: "According to the journey, Wu Sangui should have passed Guide now."

Zhao Ming asked: "Where are we now?"

Zhang Jiayu pointed to the map and said, "Twenty miles ahead are Bozhou!"

Zhao Ming frowned and cursed: "Wu Sangui can run fast, but the Lone King is still a little slower!"

Wang Chao first looked at the map and said in a deep voice: "That's how it is impossible to intercept Wu Sangui in Guide!"

Zhang Jiayu nodded, "The Zhou army has many horses and livestock. When we enter Guide, Wu Sangui should have left Sui County and is about to arrive in Qi County."

Zhao Ming smiled and said, "Don't worry, although Gu can't catch up, Li Yuanyin and He Yundeng should have felt that Xingyang and Wu Sangui can't escape!"

Zhang Jiayu said in a deep voice: "In this way, I can only hope that the two generals Li and He can withstand Wu Sangui's attack before the army feels it."

This time, Zhao Ming first used the city of Xuzhou to consume Wu Sangui's food, grass and military weapons.

After quelling the Nanjing rebellion, Zhao Mingdao ordered Li Yuanyin to raid Wu Sangui's side troops in Fengyang, leading his army to Kaifeng, and cut off Wu Sangui's way back.

For this reason, Zhao Ming gave Li Yuanyin 10,000 cavalry to ensure that when the main force failed to block Wu Sangui, Li Yuanyin could block Wu Sangui and could not allow Wu Sangui to escape easily.

Zhao Ming said in a deep voice: "This time I will let Wu Sangui lose his skin even if he does not die!"

After saying that, Zhao Ming asked, "Where is Wang Yi now?"

Zhang Jiayu said: "Follow Wu Sangui, chase and kill westward!"

Zhao Ming nodded, "Wang Yi has always been cautious and is not worried that he will advance rashly, but the army still needs to speed up and form support between the various units to prevent the gutter from capsizing."

Zhang Jiayu pointed to the map and said, "I suggest that after the army passes through Luyi, advance rapidly to the northwest, encircle the three sides, and encircle Wu Sangui's main force in Zhongmu."

Zhao Ming leaned his head over, looked at the map, and said loudly to everyone: "Okay, send the order and speed up."

Kaifeng Prefecture, Chenliu County.

On the banks of the Suishui River, a large crowd surged towards the northwest direction. There were dense crowds in front and sparse crowds in the rear, as if the sea water had receded.

These people were left behind by Zhou soldiers, and the civilians from Zhonghe Henan were left behind during the retreat to Luoyang.

At this time, the soldiers and the civilians walked forward quickly. From time to time, some people fell down. The companions dragged them away, not daring to stop at all, as if there was something terrifying, chasing them behind them.

The Zhou army soldiers retreated in panic, and many soldiers abandoned their weapons. Many of them also threw away their armor in order to run faster.

"The Ming army is catching up!" A scream sounded from behind. The exhausted Zhou soldiers turned around and saw that the Ming cavalry behind them chased after them. They immediately breathed their last breath in horror and ran forward.

Wang Yi led 40,000 Ming troops out of Xuzhou and followed the Zhou army to pursue him. Near Yu Guide, he caught up with the Zhou army's rear army and bit the tail of the Zhou army all the way.

After all, Wu Sangui had a large army of 200,000 and most of the cavalry were. Wang Yi did not advance rashly. Every time he caught up, he took a bite and wiped out the Zhou army he had caught up. After the infantry kept up, he continued to pursue.

At this time, the Ming army had just eaten more than two thousand Zhou troops near Qi County. Wang Yi led the cavalry and chased after him again.

The Ming cavalry galloped into the tail of the Zhou army, slashed with swords and stabbed the horses and spears, and immediately stabbed the Zhou army in front of him to death, which scared the Zhou army soldiers to escape crying and crying for their parents.

At this time, for the Zhou army, it was a race against time. Before Zhao Ming's main force caught up, breaking through the obstacle and entering Hulao Pass would be a victory. On the contrary, once Zhao Ming catches up, the loss would be impossible to estimate.

Therefore, the Zhou army all ran away and rushed westward, without any soldiers turning back, and without any time to pay attention to Wang Yi.

In this way, Wang Yi was too relaxed behind the Zhou army, and the cavalry rushed the Zhou army to catch up, which was simply too comfortable.

The Ming cavalry rushed into the tail of the Zhou army again, massacring and separating the Zhou army soldiers.

At this moment, a whimpering horn sound came from a distance, and two teams of Zhou cavalry roared from the left and right.

The Ming soldiers who were so eager to kill were heard, and immediately raised their heads and looked around. When they saw the Zhou army's cavalry rushing towards them, they quickly shouted: "Governor, there is an ambush!"

Wang Yi stabbed a Zhou army to death with a spear, and immediately pulled out the reins of the horse and led the cavalry to evacuate.

The Zhou cavalry chased after a while, and saw the Ming army's infantry coming from the field, they immediately pulled their horses away.

At this time, Wang Yi tied the horse's reins and stood in front of the infantry. The general asked: "Governor, Wu Sangui sent cavalry to cut off the rear, or not to chase after it?"

Wang Yi said with a horse: "Why don't you chase me? I'll chase me all the way to Luoyang."

After speaking, he led the cavalry and rushed forward again.

In the northwest of Chenliu County, more than 100,000 soldiers of Zhou soldiers and infantry and cavalry marched westward in a mixed manner.

A rider rushed over, caught up with Wu Sangui's big flag, and reported to him breathe: "Your Majesty, Wang Yi's guy has caught up again."

Under the banner of Daqi, Wu Sangui was furious, "Why is this guy like a dog skin plaster? He can't get rid of it or drive it away!"

Wu Guozhu said: "Your Majesty, please lead the troops to kill him and kill him, and kill that guy."

Wu Sangui gritted his teeth, "Forget it, if he wants to follow, he will leave it to Wang Pingfan to deal with it. The scout reported that Zhao Zamao's army has passed Taikang, and you have more important things to do."

Taikang is located south of Chenliu, and is very close to the Zhou army.

"Please give me the order!" Wu Guozhu clasped his fists sternly.

Wu Sangui said: "You immediately lead 30,000 cavalry and advance westward, opening a gap for me and breaking through the Ming army's blockade."

When Wu Guozhu heard the words, he immediately saluted, "Don't worry, I will definitely defeat the enemy blocking the road before the emperor arrives."

After speaking, Wu Guozhu led his personal soldiers and rushed forward.

Soon, the horn of the front army sounded, and the 30,000 cavalry of Zhou troops all accelerated and looked away at Xingyang.

Seeing this, Wu Sangui waved his whip and said in a deep voice: "The army comes, speed up the marching!"
