After rushing past desperately, Huang Dian didn't have time to count how many people he lost, so he led his troops to continue to rush to Tangzhuang. It was another hour when he arrived at Tangzhuang. The closer he was to Tangzhuang, the more anxious Huang Dian felt. The sky-sky fire and the rising and falling explosions were extremely anxious.

Hurry up, when there were three miles away from Tangzhuang, Huangdian had already met the Ming soldiers who escaped from Tangzhuang. These soldiers did not have the elite of the past, and they were all in a mess. Not to mention the weapons in their hands, even many of them were not even wearing military uniforms. Many of them simply ran out barefoot with barefoots. Under the reflection of the flames in the dark, they were like they had escaped from hell, without any organization, and relying on their instinct to run desperately towards the place they thought they were safe.

When Huangdian's team appeared in front of them, these people were not overjoyed, but instead turned around and ran away. Looking at this scene, Huangdian's heart sank to the bottom of the water and was completely cold.

"Blow the trumpet! Assemble!" Huang Dian immediately ordered the troops to temporarily stop advancing and assemble on the spot, and at the same time, he blew the assembled trumpet to gather these defeated soldiers.

When the familiar assembly call sounded, the defeated soldiers woke up from the conditioned reflex. Some people used the fire to distinguish the origin of the Huangdian army, and then they felt relieved and began to gather here.

Huang Dian did not dare to be careless. You should know that it was approaching Tangzhuang. Judging from the current situation, it was inevitable that Tangzhuang would be attacked by sneak attacks, and he suffered a great loss under Yue Zhongqi's sneak attack. In order to avoid defeated soldiers rushing to his own queue and prevent Qing troops from sneak attacking nearby, Huang Dian deliberately sent only a few hundred people to collect these defeated soldiers. At the same time, his central army and guards were ready to fight at any time.

Fortunately, the Qing army attacked did not appear. As the defeated soldiers gathered gradually, the number of defeated soldiers gradually increased. The Ming army that fled was the elite of the Ming army. Although they lost their combat effectiveness for a while, they quickly regained their rationality after the Huangdian was gathered. With the increase of defeated soldiers and the restoration of organization, Huangdian finally breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to find someone to ask what was going on in Tangzhuang, several people walked towards Huangdian under the leadership of a soldier.

"Is it General Huang? Is it General Huang in Huangdian?" A familiar voice came, and Huangdian was stunned but could not tell who the owner of the voice was for the time being.

"I am Huang Dian! Are you..."

"General Huang, you are really General Huang!" The visitor walked happily and quickly heard Huang Dian's response. When he walked closer to Huang Dian, he recognized the other party. The person in front of him was wearing a tattered military uniform, with black and red faces, and when he walked, he was tall and low. The person who was supported by the two was Zhang Yi, the general stationed in the Ming army in Tangzhuang. As a general of the Ming army of Jiangbei and a subordinate of Zhu Yigui, the two were considered old comrades-in-arms.

"General Zhang!"

"It's me..." Zhang Yi walked quickly, maybe because he was walking too fast, or because he was injured somewhere, and he almost fell forward without stepping. Fortunately, the soldiers who were supporting him hurriedly grabbed him, so he barely stood up.

Taking two steps forward, Huang Dian stepped forward with both hands and hurriedly supported Zhang Yi, then looked at him anxiously and said, "Old Zhang, are you okay? Where are you injured?"

"It's okay, a small injury, I can't die for the time being." Zhang Yi replied, and then said: "It's great that you can come, hurry up! Save Tangzhuang! It's too late!"

"I'm about to ask you, what's going on in Tangzhuang now? What's going on? Where is the people of Deputy Gao Town?" Huang Dian asked hurriedly.

"Send troops first! Hurry up! Tell you slowly on the other roads." Zhang Yi said anxiously.

Huang Dian didn't say much and immediately called someone to ask the prepared troops to continue moving forward. As for the other defeated soldiers, Huang Dian asked someone to find a single frame to place Zhang Yi. He was originally planning to wait here, but Zhang Yi said that he rushed out of Tangzhuang and had to rush back, not to mention that he knew the situation in Tangzhuang better than Huang Dian.

In this way, Huang Dian led the troops to continue to advance towards Tangzhuang, and followed hundreds of defeated soldiers who had already resumed their organization. The joining of these defeated soldiers could increase the strength of Huang Dian's troops no matter how hard they were, so Huang Dian did not stop them from following the troops and led by two thousand generals as a reserve team.

On the last journey to Tangzhuang, Huang Dian learned the causes and consequences from Zhang Yi.

In the past few days, because Yue Zhongqi's troops voluntarily evacuated Yangzhou, the Ming army finally decided to launch a formal attack on Yangzhou. Because of Tangzhuang's geographical location and the benefits of the Yangtze River Navy, the battle was initiated first from the Ming army's office. The commander-in-chief of the Ming army in Tangzhuang was the deputy general Gao Zhiguo. This man followed Ma Gongcheng to fight south and north, and was also considered a practical general who fought step by step from the grassroots level.

Although Gao Zhiguo Yongbing was not as elusive as Zhu Yigui, he was very safe in fighting. This is also the main reason why Gao Zhiguo was the deputy general commander Tang Zhuang Ming army. Moreover, from Gao Zhiguo's tactics, it was also accurate and there was nothing wrong with it.

The attack on Yangzhou began very smoothly. Although the Qing army resisted tenaciously, it was shaking against the powerful Ming army like a dead leaf in the wind when the main force retreated. Taking Yangzhou was just a matter of time. Considering reducing the casualties of the Ming army, Gao Zhiguo did not invest in the general attack of the entire army under this situation, but waited patiently for Zhu Yigui's main force to be in place. At the same time, it was constantly oppressing the Qing army in Yangzhou. As long as Zhu Yigui arrived, the two units joined forces to take over Yangzhou.

It cannot be said that Gao Zhiguo's measures were problematic. If it were others, he would probably have made such a choice. But no one expected that Yue Zhongqi's move to transfer troops from Yangzhou and Jiangdu was actually fake. He played a trick under the eyes of the Ming army. On the one hand, he attracted the Ming army to take the initiative to attack Yangzhou and use Yangzhou as bait to divert the Ming army's attention. At the same time, he secretly mobilized troops from Jiangdu to detour eastward, and quietly touched the east side of Tangzhuang without knowing it.

On this day and night, with the smooth attack of Yangzhou, the Ming army in Tangzhuang thought that they were sure of victory, but who would have thought that Yue Zhongqi had already led his troops to attack Tangzhuang while the night was dark. Yue Zhongqi first sent a unit to make up the Ming army, but he didn't know what method he used to guard Tangzhuang Pass through the Ming army. Then he controlled the pass with lightning speed. Then, while the other troops were infiltrated into Tangzhuang, and then set fire to attack together.
