    On May 29th, at the right time in the morning, the main force of the Fatty Army started a full-scale pursuit of the main force of the Qing Army withdrawing from the north.  A mighty army of nearly 100,000 marched north along the canal by water and land, marching all the way to catch up with the main force of the Qing army that had withdrawn to the north at noon the previous day.  At the same time, Fatty Army General Gao Dejie was left by Fatty Lu in Yangzhou City to rest because the army was too exhausted and suffered too many casualties, and he was going to pursue him two days later.

    At the same time, the main force of the Qing army led by Yue Le fled desperately, and had already fled to Cheluo Town, south of Gaoyou City, to take a rest the night before.  Yue Le suggested that the main force of the Qing army had better withdraw through the Xinghua Canal first, and then rest assured.  However, Yue Le considered that the Qing army's troops had been attacking the city continuously for two days and two nights, and they were very tired up and down. At the same time, crossing the river at night was very dangerous.  So Yue Le finally rejected this suggestion, and just asked Dong Weiguo to lead an army to escort the grain and grass to the north first, to protect the precious grain and grass and withdraw first, and at the same time build more pontoon bridges on the Xinghua Canal to facilitate the Qing army to cross the river quickly.

    Fortunately, the pursuers of the Fatty Army did not go northward to Cheluo Town overnight, which gave the exhausted Qing army a few hours of precious rest time.  But for Yue Le and other Qing army commanders, the more fortunate ones are still behind. The scouts reported that Fatty Lu personally led the main force of the Fatty Army to the north to catch up.  However, he became suspicious and completely believed that the retreat of the Qing army was due to the heavy casualties under the city of Yangzhou, so he had to retreat north.

    Fortunately, after the bitter plan was successful, Yue Le quickly arranged a retreat plan, ordering the former army led by Dong Weiguo to retreat at full speed day and night, and try their best to transport the precious food and military supplies back to the Xiba Camp in the north of the Yellow River; the cavalry team was in the middle, and Yue Le personally  Leading and guarding Kang Mazi's fake Luanjia then went north; as for the task of the rear, Yue Le handed over to Fatty Lu's old friend Jie Shu, and asked him to lead the more than 10,000 troops brought from Chuzhou to the rear, and fight and retreat  Lure the main force of the Fatty Army to pursue them with all their strength¡ªthe more than 10,000 troops that Jie Shu brought from the western front are actually the most capable infantry troops in the Qing army at present.  Destroyed in World War I.

    In addition, Yue Le, who had no other choice, naturally had to send a fast horse first, and sent an order to his deputy Tu Hai and his son Sai Leng'er to destroy it immediately after reading it - wait for the main force of the Fat Man Army to cross Baoying County,  Approaching Huai'an City, do it immediately!

    Next, a spectacular pursuit and retreat began. From the sky bird, on the official road from Yangzhou to Huai'an, the Qing army with a strength of more than 60,000 troops was divided into three teams, and retreated northward with great strides.  , like a colorful flood flowing northward.  The fat man's army with a strength of nearly 100,000 was also divided into three teams, and they chased northward at the same speed and stride, like a pure white tide, galloping northward quickly and firmly.

    What puzzled Yue Le, Shang Shan, Jie Shu and the others was that although the Fatty Army went out with all their best and pursued with all their strength this time, the speed of chasing and killing the Qing Army was not fast.  At the same speed as the Qing army, the Qing army traveled 80 miles a day, while the fat army only chased 80 miles a day, and the Qing army traveled 60 miles a day, but the fat army only traveled 60 miles.  At a distance of ten miles away, he bit the tail of the Qing army's rear.  Moreover, there were no night raids, no surprise raids, and no active wars. Only when the rear of the Qing army turned around and took the initiative to meet the enemy, did the Fat Man fight with the rear of the Qing army, and beat the rear of the Qing army away.  Unhurriedly continue to chase behind the Qing army.

    This kind of pursuit method, especially the pursuit, is more like sending the Qing army out of the country and driving them out of the base area.

    At the beginning, Yue Le, Shang Shan and others were puzzled by Fatty Lu's weird pursuit strategy, but when they accidentally saw the lying yellow dragon on the map of northern Jiangsu, Yue Le, Shang Shan and others suddenly realized,  Then they yelled together again, "God damn Lu Yifeng's dog thief, he is really cunning and vicious, he must plan to use his strength when our main force crosses the Yellow River! Maybe he chased into the territory of Huai'an Mansion, this dog thief will most likely come back!"  Divide up and seize the Qinghe Ferry, completely cut off our escape route, and catch us!"

    After scolding Fatty Lu's treachery and viciousness, Yue Le was secretly happy, and said in his heart: "Since you, Lu Yifeng's bastard, are planning to chase after Huai'an Mansion and then exert your strength, this king just wants it. Waiting for you  When we arrived near Huai'an City, I tried my best to sacrifice my life for my country, and I also tried my best not to kill these tens of thousands of mobs. I would also drag you and your main force to die together! As long as you destroy the main force of your bastard, our Qing army may only be left  With 20,000 to 30,000 troops, there is hope to regain the entire Jiangnan!"

    &nbs"

    "Cover." Zhou Peigong replied more respectfully, and couldn't help but secretly smiled in his heart¡ª¡ªMaster, we are indeed the same as us.

    "Gaojiayan, Hongze Lake, it's all up to you." Kang Mazi looked back at the magnificent Gaojiayan dam again, and murmured in his heart: "Don't let me down, as long as you can drown  The main force of the Wu dog, drown that thief Lu Yifeng, even if you drown millions of barbarians, I will give you titles and new names!"
