To the surprise of the generals, Fu Gongyou did not choose to fight hard, but used the method of a hero cutting off his arm and abandoning the two front troops.

Fu Gongyou said to his subordinates: "No need to fight, I just need to go to the camp and the Danyang Army to be there. The Zhao army attacked our abandoned sons, but with the Song King Kong team blocked us, we must take a detour."

Although it was expected to hear that the soldiers abandoned the front army, they were a little reluctant.

But at this time, when he heard that the Zhao army pursued the rear again, less than three or five miles away from the Jianghuai Army's guards, he saw that he could not protect himself, and all the generals were reminded of the lost front army and no longer worried about this lost front army.

At that time, Fu Gongyou led the Jianghuai army to bypass the lake and lake in front. Although the distance was longer, he never encountered the Zhao army again in this day. However, the front army of the Jianghuai army should have been wiped out by the Zhao army.

At night, the smoke gathered, and the Jianghuai Army chose a slope next to the river to camp. The tents were listed on the slope.

All the scouts of the Jianghuai Army dispersed and investigated them carefully nearby to guard against Zhao's troops coming to attack the camp at night.

Fu Gongyou briefly counted the troops. The most elite recruited camp still had more than 3,000 troops. Compared with Du Fuwei's 5,000 troops, he did not lose much. However, the Danyang soldiers dropped sharply from 10,000 troops before entering Xuzhou to less than 3,000. As for the rest, there were 5,000 or 6,000. However, these were all useless cannon fodder to recharge the numbers.

At night, the torches blew, the sound of horse hooves sounded, and hundreds of cavalry rushed to the camp. Most of the cavalry's robe were stained with blood, but they were full of energy.

The general in charge was Fu Gongyou's adopted son Gao Xiang. He jumped off his horse and entered the central army's tent directly.

Fu Gongyou was discussing matters with the generals. Gao Xiang threw his cloak and knelt down and kowtowed, "Enjoyed Father. I just captured Fuli County and captured the county magistrate who surrendered to Zhao's army alive."

Fuli County is a county town south of Xuzhou. The city walls are high and thick, and Gao Xiang actually captured this county with a team of cavalry, which shows that its army is very brave.

Fu Gongyou seemed not unexpected to Gao Xiang's capture of the county town, but just asked: "How did you ask something from the county magistrate?"

Gao Xiang said: "Although this person does not understand the deployment of the Zhao army's defense line, he also found out a few news from him. The Tang army sent to reinforce Zhang Zhenzhou, Xuzhou, has been repelled, and can only retreat to protect himself at present. There are no reinforcements around our army. In addition, the Zhao army transferred 3,000 civil servants from the county yesterday. I wonder what it is for?"

Fu Gongyou remained silent.

At this time, a general stepped forward and advised: "Mr. Fu, we can break through in any direction. We can't go back to Jiangdong!"

"Why?" Fu Gongyou turned his head.

The general said, "Li Chongjiu expected us to return to Jiangdong, so he set up a lot of ambush troops on the way to annihilate our army. If we continue to walk to Jiangdong, we will have to seek death."

Fu Gongyou said after hearing this: "How come I don't know? But our army started in Jiangdong. When it heard that Jiangdong was in trouble, the soldiers would return to their hometown in their dreams. If I told the soldiers not to leave Jiangdong, don't let it take a moment, the entire army would mutiny. So even though I knew that Li Chongjiu was ambushing in front of me, I still had to go."

After hearing what Fu Gongyou said, all the generals lowered their heads.

"Master Fu. We think that following you will definitely break through the siege." The generals said one after another.

Fu Gongyou smiled and said, "I am also sure to take you back to Jiangdong. Li Chongjiu is not Liu Bang, and I am not Xiang Yu either!"

As soon as Fu Gongyou finished speaking, suddenly the sound of soldiers running away from the tent came from outside the tent. Countless soldiers shouted at this time, "It's not good. It's not good, the flood is coming."

Fu Gongyou was stunned. He had previously stationed the camp beside the river. The river was the deepest, but the depth of the legs of his pants was, so how could it turn into a big flood?

"The adoptive father must be the Zhao army who built a dam in the upstream dam. After our army set up camp, we were digging the embankment and releasing the water!" Gao Xiang said the truth.

Fu Gongyou frowned into the character "Sichuan" and said furiously: "Bastard!"

At this time, Fu Gongyou walked out of the tent with his sword, but saw soldiers running around outside the tent, and the water outside was surging, and a yellowed river rushed into the camp of the Jianghuai Army.

A row of camps erected beside the river bank, and more than thirty tents were all washed away. Thousands of soldiers were taken away by the torrent, without even the time to react, and the flood rushed into the camp.

"Hurry up, deport the camp immediately. The Zhao army will arrange troops and ambush the riverside. When the flood is all over, it will surely come."

Fu Gongyou was also experienced and immediately expressed the intention of Zhao's army. So all the Jianghuai army in the tent retreated to the high ground on the side and gathered again.

Just as the Jianghuai Army had just reassembled, there was a loud shout of killing from behind the other ridge of the river.

In an instant, a row of torches appeared on the ridge and gathered together to rush down the ridge. The torches gathered more and more. Countless people crossed the ridge and held the torches and joined the torrent of the soldiers.

All the Zhao army ambushed out!

Seeing this, Fu Gongyou said, "Follow me and fight out!"

After the words came, the soldiers of the Jianghuai Army shouted together and rushed up to the Zhao army rushing from the ridge. His adopted son Gao Xiang rode a horse and led hundreds of elite soldiers to advance, while Fu Gongyou was the most elite recruit camp in the Jianghuai Army.

On the hillside, the Zhao army generals Zhang Qingte, Jiang Shanhe, Li Yiman and others were stunned when they saw the Jianghuai army coming.

Zhang Qingte said: "I didn't expect that the Jianghuai Army would dare to attack head-on even though they knew they were in trouble!"

Jiang Shanhe, the chief general of the three, said: "That's right, the Jianghuai army is still in awe. Your Majesty gave us the general order. You should not fight against the Jianghuai army, and it's enough to kill the troops. I think our troops should not block the intersection head-on. It's better to let the Jianghuai army go head-on and intercept the end."

Li Yiman said: "That's right. The three of us are just county soldiers. Our training equipment is not as good as the elite army of the Jianghuai Army. We can get a bargain when fighting, and fighting Qiufeng is OK. If we really fight head-on, it will be difficult. Let the matter of annihilation of Fu Gongyou, let's leave it to the third ambush person!"

Zhang Qingte said: "But even if Fu Gongyou's elite force is spared, there will be many killings and seizures in this battle. If the Jianghuai Army is pacified in the future, Your Majesty will also discuss our contributions."

“That’s natural.”

Speaking of this, the three of them laughed. At that moment, they ordered the front-line to let Fu Gongyou's main force break out, while the soldiers turned them to attack the two wings of the Jianghuai Army.

On the battlefield, Fu Gongyou personally led the army to the middle army without much effort. He killed the Zhao army's encirclement. The soldiers behind him also followed Fu Gongyou out, but at this time the Zhao army began to close and tied their pockets.

The county soldiers on both sides of the Zhao army were killed again. The Zhao army's county soldiers were poorly equipped, so they naturally could not be compared with the Zhao army's military soldiers in terms of combat effectiveness. However, among the three, Li Yiman was the best at governing the army, Jiang Shanhe was the most wisest, and Zhang Qingte had no advantages.

Although the second ambush consisting of these three people was not many soldiers, it still caused great trouble to the Jianghuai Army.

The soldiers of the two armies held torches and fought together under the night sky, with the sound of swords and guns colliding.

At this time, a fire broke out on the side. It turned out that Li Yiman's soldiers set fire near the camp near the Jianghuai Army. The fire was so powerful that it swept across a large field, forcing the soldiers of the Jianghuai Army to run around and scatter the formation when the fire hits.

As for Jiang Shanhe and Zhang Qingte, they were also very smart in fighting. When they met large groups of people gathered, all the soldiers of the fully armed Jianghuai Army would be let go. When they encountered small groups of people roaming or left alone, they rushed up to encircle and annihilate them without any hesitation.

The two armies fought for a night, and the battle ended until dawn when the fire was extinguished.

Although Fu Gongyou had led the central army to break through the encirclement, Jiang Shanhe and the others had gained a lot.

In the early morning, when the pursuers led by Wang Mahan and Song Jingang arrived, they saw flags, armor and weapons all over the ground, as well as hundreds of captured war horses. Thousands of Jianghuai soldiers held their heads and squatted, wearing leather armor and spears, guarding these Jianghuai soldiers.

Seeing this scene, Wang Mahan couldn't help but be jealous and said unwillingly: "I have been fighting for so long, and I have taken advantage of you."

Song Jingang said: "What are you unwilling to accept General Wang? These are all military achievements made by the county soldiers and brothers who have fought hard. If you don't accept it, who will get Fu Gongyou's head?"
