As the sky gradually became brighter, the Qi army camp had been burned to a white ground. In the battle of stealing camps overnight, the Qi army was killed more than 6,000 people, more than 1,000 people fled, and the rest became prisoners.

The open space was filled with captured Qi soldiers. Around them were hundreds of rebel bandits wearing various military uniforms, all of whom were fierce and evil. They were obviously local scoundrel bandits.

The captured soldiers really looked down on these rebel bandits, but they were also afraid, and everyone bowed their heads and said nothing.

At this time, a bearded general came and shouted in Yunzhou dialect: "Let me listen to all the death row prisoners!"

The prisoners of war raised their heads one after another, and the general shouted: "General Shi has pity for your parents, wife and children, so he decided to let you go back to his hometown and not be allowed to join Liu Mazi's army again. If you are caught again next time, your heads will be chopped in half!"

The prisoners of war were happy and were finally released. They expressed their intention to stop joining the army. The guards were released from groups of people. Each soldier was assigned a few liters of food and fled in panic, and no one was willing to stay here anymore.

In the distance, Yan Qing looked at the prisoners of war being released one after another. He turned around and asked, "How many casualties are we? Are we counting it?"

"It has been counted that the brothers were injured and none of them were killed."

"Is anyone missing?"

"No!"

Yan Qing nodded and urged his horse to walk towards the river. The Ruan brothers led a thousand navy troops to capture hundreds of enemy logistics transport ships. Most of the fleeing enemy troops came from here. They were responsible for standing guard on the shore. The fire broke out in the camp, so many experienced soldiers immediately abandoned their armor and fled. There were more than 700 soldiers who fled.

But they could not take away the fleet's supplies, and all of them fell into the hands of the Song army.

This time, in addition to the 10,000 elite Song army, there were more than 1,000 sailors, led by Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi. In addition, they also took over some of Zhang Rong's water thieves and transformed them into naval soldiers.

At this time, hundreds of logistics transport ships had set sail and headed to the hinterland of Liangshanpo. When Yan Qing arrived on the shore, he saw Ruan Xiaowu commanding hundreds of soldiers to carry the grain bags piled up into hills onto the ship. This was a batch of grain in the northwest corner of Daying. The Northwest Army of Daying is a warehouse area, with special barriers to the construction of a special camp and trench. In addition, the Song army deliberately let this area go, so the warehouse area was not affected by the fire and was lucky to be well preserved.

All the food and supplies in the warehouse area were moved to the shore and then transported by soldiers on board to transport them away.

At this time, Yan Qing came over and asked, "Fifth Brother, when will it end?"

Ruan Xiaowu looked at the grain pile and said, "It will be over in about half an hour!"

Yan Qing nodded, "Fifth brother let his army go back first, and leave Zhang Rong's subordinates to deal with the food. An enemy spy will soon come. You should be careful."

"The Lord will leave first! Let's leave when we're over."

Ruan Xiaowu asked again: "Has the enemy general captured?"

"Liu Yi's body was found. He was pierced by a spear and died in the camp. It was probably an internal strife."

Yan Qing looked around again. Except for the river, the cleaning of everything else was over. He immediately ordered, "The whole army gathered and left the battlefield!"

The battlefield has been almost done, and Yan Qing needs to lead his army away immediately and wait for the next attack.

Yan Qing immediately led 10,000 troops to leave the battlefield and quickly retreated to Liangshanpo on the same route. Half an hour later, the last dozen ships also left the battlefield, and the battlefield finally became deserted.

At this time, more than a dozen Qi army spies appeared on the battlefield. They gathered the opponent's intelligence everywhere, picked up a few broken flags, and found some weapons left by the enemy. They quickly left the battlefield and rode their horses to the north.

The war was not over, and the Song army's goal turned to the 20,000 Qi army heading north, which was also the enemy they had to wipe out this time. However, this time it was not the Song army that fought alone, or even the Song army as the main force, but Zhang Rong's army as the main force, and the Song army cooperated to fight.

Chen Zhiyuan chased Zhang Rong's bandit army all the way and stopped in Pingyin County, the northernmost part of Yunzhou. Chen Zhiyuan had already received news that Zhang Rong's army was fifty miles away from him.

At this time, Chen Zhiyuan had realized that something was wrong. The opponent's tactics were exactly the same as when he annihilated Zhang Jian last time. He first retreated and opened the opponent's defense line, and then sneaked into the enemy's rear.

Chen Zhiyuan immediately stopped chasing and sent more than a dozen spies back to the main camp to remind Liu Yi.

At dawn, Chen Zhiyuan finally received information. What he was most worried about was still happening. Liu Yi's ten thousand troops had been completely wiped out by Zhang Rong's army. This news made Chen Zhiyuan stunned.

More than a dozen generals gathered in the tent. In terms of personal feelings, they did not sympathize with the annihilation of ten thousand Yun Congjun, and even had some gloating. Yun Congjun's special treatment had already made them seriously dissatisfied.

General Zhou Hang flipped through the items brought back by the spy and said to Chen Zhiyuan: "It is obvious that the opponent succeeded in a sneak attack with fire at night. To be honest, the general did not think that the enemy was very powerful. This was completely a problem for Yun Congjun himself. They underestimated the enemy too much."

The generals expressed their agreement. Judging from the flags and weapons picked up by the spies, the other party was simply a mob with very simple equipment. The spear was actually a homemade earth spear, the sword was also an ordinary iron sword made by the blacksmith shop, and the poles of the flag were peeled and peeled into pieces. All this evidence shows how stupid Yun Congjun was, and it was a completely flower-frame army.

Chen Zhiyuan sighed and said, "Yun Congjun may have underestimated the enemy, and General Liu is also missing. He doesn't know his life or death. What should we do now? Let's talk about it."

Zhou Hang said: "General, we should withdraw our troops immediately now. We have no food supplements. The warehouses in each county are empty. Now the enemy is ready to defeat us with food. Regardless of whether the other party is a mob or not, first of all, we must ensure that our army will not be defeated due to shortage of food."

Everyone agreed with Zhou Hang's opinion. Chen Zhiyuan nodded. He knew that Zhou Hang was right. If the retreat was cut off, they would fall into a serious food shortage and soon the army would be completely defeated.

Chen Zhiyuan opened the map and looked at it. Juye County had no food, so they had to at least retreat to Yingtian Prefecture.

He immediately ordered: "I ordered the entire army to immediately withdraw the camp and retreat south!"

The 20,000 Qi army immediately packed up and turned around to retreat. At this time, Zhang Rong led the army to follow him, but they were not in a hurry to catch up with the Qi army, but maintained a distance of 30 to 40 miles.

The next afternoon, 20,000 Qi troops retreated fifteen miles south of Xucheng County. At this time, they received spies' information. An army of ten thousand people appeared ten miles ahead, forming a combat formation, cutting off their retreat.

At the same time, Zhang Rong's 20,000 troops had arrived in Xucheng County, fifteen miles away, which meant that the Liangshan Rebel Army finally took action.

Chen Zhiyuan was also an experienced veteran. He was once a general of Zong Ze. After their army was surrounded by Jin soldiers, he surrendered, and he was valued by Liu Yu.

This time he was sent to cooperate with Liu Yi in suppressing the bandits, which was to rely on his experience to make up for the shortcomings of Liu Yi's lack of experience in the war.

Chen Zhiyuan knew that this battle was inevitable, so he immediately ordered 20,000 troops to form a formation and prepare to fight the enemy to the death.

The 20,000 troops quickly formed two square formations in the wilderness, and the 10,000 troops in the south remained unmoved.

At this time, the 20,000 army led by Zhang Rong also moved south from the north and formed the lower formation one mile away. The two armies faced each other from afar. Chen Zhiyuan looked at the sky. It was already early and he had to defeat the other side within an hour, otherwise the sky would be late and the wolves were on the side, which would be extremely unfavorable to him.

He pulled out his battle knife and yelled, "Brothers, kill me!"

His 20,000 troops began to run and head towards the other side's formation. Zhang Rong also drew his sword and shouted, "Expel the Tartars and kill the traitors. Brothers, the time for revenge is here, kill!"

"Kill," Zhang Rong's army also shouted angrily, and the soldiers ran wildly. Zhang Rong took the lead, followed by Shi Xiu and Liu Tang. 20,000 soldiers rushed towards the Qi army with boundless murderous aura.

If you look down from the sky, you can see two troops running closer and closer, and finally colliding with each other, forty thousand troops fighting in the wilderness.

The biggest mistake Liu Yu made was that he regarded Zhang Rong's subordinates as mobs, but he did not know that there were as many as 100,000 righteous men who came to surrender to Zhang Rong, but Zhang Rong and others only selected 20,000 people. These 20,000 were either the elite Liangshan forces in the past or the high-ranking imperial guards in the past. They were all strong and powerful men. After a little training, they could become a sharp army, and they were definitely not a mob.

The two armies were hard to kill in the wilderness. At this time, the sky was already dark and the vision was not so clear. At this moment, a low trumpet sound suddenly came from the south. Ten thousand troops led by Yan Qing appeared, and then the drums were loudly sounded. Ten thousand troops were launched. They were like a sharp sword and slashed hard behind Qi Jun.

Chen Zhiyuan was desperate. Who said that this bandit army was a mob, who said that this army did not understand strategy, who said that this army had no combat experience? Ten thousand bandits pierced their vest from behind at the most critical moment. In this battle, the Qi army was attacked from the front and back and would undoubtedly be defeated.
