When someone suddenly attacked from behind, the Song army was in chaos for a moment.

In the panic, many Song soldiers collided with each other, and dozens of people were even trampled to death by their own families.

Li Congji shouted anxiously: "There are not many enemies, let's kill them together!"

Li Congji's reminder, Zhang Kai finally reacted and hurriedly shouted to his soldiers and horses. "Don't panic, kill him!"

But by the time Zhang Kai ordered his subordinates to change the back formation to the front formation, it was too late.

The second round of arrows shot by more than a hundred crossbowmen fell into the dense Song soldiers, and took away dozens of Song soldiers' lives.

When Song Bing restructured his formation and killed the Lu family army, Zhou Tong shouted loudly, "Let's retreat!"

The soldiers of the Lu family quickly stood up, carried the crossbow, retreated and ran away.

The thief was like a pair of flying legs, and soon ran away. Seeing the thief's backs like black dots, they opened and the blue veins on Li Congji's forehead appeared.

"These bitches are raised and dare not fight with us head-on, and they will attack us. Damn, one or two of them are running so fast that they can't catch up! If they are caught by me, they must be skinned!" Zhang Kai cursed angrily.

Li Congji also shouted angrily: "Damn, where did these thieves emerge? Why did they suddenly kill themselves in front of their formation? What exactly did our spies do for food?"

Just when Li Congji wanted to hold his spies accountable, the soldiers in the back camp suddenly shouted: "General, the gang of thieves who had escaped have been killed again!"

When Li Congji heard this, he quickly turned his horse's head and looked back. Li Zhong and his men came back!

Li Congji shouted, "Military Wen's plan is not good at all! Commander Zhang, if you continue like this, your and my children will collapse sooner or later. Do you have to think of a solution?"

Zhang Kai shouted anxiously: "What do you think you should do?"

Li Congji shouted: "You and I will guard one side and retreat slowly. Go back and report to the Palace Commander, and you will decide more!"

Zhang Kai couldn't think of a better way, so he nodded and shouted: "Okay, just do what you said?"

Li Zhong had less than 300 people. Seeing that the Song army made timely adjustments this time, it was easy to attack, he stopped when he saw that it was better, shot a round of arrows, and then retreated.

Li Zhong and Zhou Tong followed the orders of General Lu Da, and led their troops to come and go, gather and disperse, and sneaked into the Song army in elusive ways.

When the Song army counterattacked, they immediately evacuated and ran very fast.

When the enemy retreats, it whistles and rains of arrows serve.

The Song army could not fight, and they could not catch up.

Finally retreated to the Zhongjun camp of the Song army. After being attacked for several days and nights, he did not sleep well. Li Congji and the other two were in a mess.

After counting the injuries of his subordinates, Li Congji was sadly discovered that in just two days, he actually injured hundreds of people. Even worse, three or four hundred people could not bear it and became deserters.

He suffered a lot of casualties at home. When he counterattacked, he only killed three rebels. Such a large proportion of casualties made Zhang Kai, Li Congji full of confidence before the army set off, and now he has cast a shadow on his face.

...

In the lobby of Juye City Government Office, Lu Da listened to Zhu Wu's report on the results of the battle and laughed happily. "Okay... Before the war started, Yang Zhi and other generals attacked one after another, causing more than 3,000 casualties in the Song army, but less than 100 casualties in our army. The results are so much! Zhu Wu recorded it and defeated that guy Gao Qiu and rewarded them together!"

Zhu Wu clasped his fists and shouted, "Yes, General!"

Hu Cao Jiangjing shook his head and said, "General, our army attacked one after another, and the arrows and food consumed are quite large. However, the casualties of the Song army were not large. The sparrow battle proposed by the general is not cost-effective. The subordinates think that the general would still order the other generals to withdraw their troops and defend them!"

When attacking the Song army, the soldiers of the Lu family usually ran closer, rushed out one or two rounds of arrows, and then retreated, running very quickly.

The soldiers of the Lu family ran a lot, so they naturally consumed a lot of physical energy, so they naturally ate more.

If the monk hadn't sent 200,000 dan of food, Luda wouldn't have dared to use the expensive tactics of sparrow war.

Hearing Jiang Jing's proposal to withdraw his troops and defend, Lu Da explained: "This is not the case. Our army expanded its troops by 70,000, and there were more soldiers and horses, but most of them were surrendered by the former Song soldiers. Although they had been training for nearly half a year, they were not a little worse than the veterans. I asked Lin Chong, Yang Zhi and others to attack the Song army in a row, hoping to improve their combat effectiveness through actual combat. Moreover, although arrows and food consumption were high, the Song army was harassed by our army day and night and could not get a good rest. The Song army would be exhausted. When they arrived at Juye, our army would wait for work and would definitely defeat the Song army in one battle! Now, not only could we not withdraw our troops, but we would ask Yang Zhi and others to increase their efforts to attack the Song army. When I asked the Song army to come to Juye City, we would not even have the strength to take swords and guns!"

...

Gao Qiu was in anger at the central commander of the Song army.

Wen Huanzhang's plan was useless at all. Instead, it was designed by the thief to kill more than 200 people.

Although Gao Qiu was extremely angry, he couldn't catch up with him. He designed an ambush, but he was not fooled.

Gao Qiu was so angry that he screamed, but he had no way to deal with the rebels.

Morale was low, and Gao Qiu could only helplessly follow the step-up and prompt his subordinates to rush to Juye City.

As long as you take down Juye City, you will have a place to settle down. With the protection of the city walls, those thieves will no longer come to harass themselves.

The closer Gao Qiu led his troops to Juye City, the more powerful the thieves attacked. They even reached the front of the formation several times!

Gao Qiu originally wanted to counterattack, but after ordering the troops, he found that the other party had already run away.

The thieves attacked day and night, and their morale was getting lower and lower day by day. The soldiers were not in good condition.

They didn't get a rest, and the influence of the defeated soldiers, everyone looked frightened and uneasy.

Gao Qiu looked at his subordinates and felt sad.

Just like this, how can we fight?

He wanted to withdraw his troops and return to Dingtao to defend him, but he thought of the urging of Emperor Daojun Zhao Ji for days. Gao Qiu did not dare to return to the army, so he could only bite the bullet and hurry up.

There were more than 70 miles left, so Gao Qiu rushed to the road. On February 16, Gao Qiu led the army to finally arrive at Juye.

After arriving, Gao Qiu asked Xu Jing to lead his troops to camp and set up camp. He led an army of 130,000 to divide into three armies and surrounded Juye City on three sides.

Gao Qiu led the central army to a place 300 hundred steps away from the west gate of Juye.

He rode on the horse and looked at the top of Juye City, frowned.

Not to mention the soldiers guarding the city, there were no flags on the top of the city, and it was quiet, as if there was no one in the whole city.

Seeing this scene, Gao Qiu felt a sudden heart.

Could it be...there is an ambush?

It’s better to withdraw quickly!

The strange situation made Gao Qiu very scared. He thought it would be better to withdraw his troops first, defend the camp, and then attack after finding out.

Thinking of this, Gao Qiu shouted loudly: "Retreat first!"

Just when Gao Qiu ordered the withdrawal of troops, the city that was originally empty suddenly shone with guns and swords, and flags were inserted all over the city.

The closed city gate opened wide, and Luda rode out on the green cow. He raised his mountain axe and shouted loudly. "Kill!"

After a loud shout, a huge sound sounded on both sides of Juye City, responding to Luda.

"Kill! Don't let Gao Qiu go!"
