Great victory in Xuzhou! The formation killed one hundred thousand!
Zhu Biao's expression instantly cheered up. He was still thinking about Xuzhou just now, but he didn't expect Han Du to give him a surprise so soon.
Xu Huizu, on the other hand, couldn't believe it. He couldn't figure out how Han Du could kill 100,000 people in a formation when Xuzhou City was tightly surrounded by Zhu Di's million-strong army.

If Han Du can defend Xuzhou City, Xu Huizu believes in it! But what the hell is Zhenzhan Hundred Thousand?
Could it be a trap? This was the first thought that came to Xu Huizu's mind.
"Your Majesty, is there any fraud in this?"
Zhu Biao was looking at the report with a happy face, and was slightly startled when he heard Xu Huizu's words.
He asked strangely: "Didn't you just say that Han Du could hold Xuzhou? Why now?"
Xu Huizu lowered his head and smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, guarding and killing a hundred thousand soldiers is completely different!"
Zhu Biao glanced at him, then lowered his head and hurriedly read the memorial.
Then he handed it to him and said, "Then take a look at it? The cipher text on this report seal is correct, so it shouldn't be fake."
Xu Huizu took the memorial and read it carefully. The more he read, the more shocked he became.
After he read it, Zhu Biao asked doubtfully: "What? Is this report true?"
"??????????????? It's true." Xu Huizu nodded heavily, sighed and explained: "Originally, I really couldn't figure out how Duke Zhen Guo could kill 100,000 people in a formation. Only after reading this report did I understand. The Duke of Zhen’s eyes were as bright as a torch, and I admire him very much!”
Zhu Biao said happily: "Haha, is it really as good as you say?"
Xu Huizu nodded with a wry smile, "Your Majesty, Zhu Di's trick of pretending to retreat is extremely powerful. If you change the minister, you will not suspect that there is fraud. After all, the person who blew up the gunpowder depot was sent by his minister, and the Yan army really retreated. .”
People will doubt others, but basically they only doubt themselves very rarely.
When Xu Huizu saw the retreat of the Yan army in the report, he subconsciously thought that Han Du was chasing the Yan army.
After all, chasing down the defeated army is the easiest thing, and a hundred thousand kills is nothing.
But when he saw that Zhu Di was actually faking defeat, the clothes on his back were instantly soaked with sweat. After carefully watching the battle at Jiuli Mountain with bated breath, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Huizu used to think that Han Du was inferior to him in land warfare, but now he clearly knows that in terms of control of the battle situation and foresight, he is far inferior to Han Du.
"Yes!" Zhu Biao sighed, "When I saw the fourth child setting up an ambush in Jiuli Mountain, I couldn't help but sweat for Han Du. Fortunately, he had an insight into the fourth child's conspiracy and used it to defeat him. defeat."
"It's really the emperor's blessing!"
Zhu Biao suddenly recalled what his father said to him before he died.
"Han Du's words and deeds are different from ordinary people, but he is a real genius. You must use it without doubt, and don't use it without doubt! But no matter what, you can't kill him. When it's difficult to make a decision, ask him many questions , has countless benefits for you!”
...
Pei County.
Overcast clouds and heavy rain.
Zhu Di's current mood is even gloomier than the weather.
Zhang Yu died in battle, and Zhu Di could not eat or sleep well, and was extremely sad.
Zhang Yu is both wise and brave, and many of his ideas coincide with Zhu Di's. The two cooperate very well in many important matters and complement each other.
Zhu Di once believed that with Zhang Yu's talent, he could accomplish great things by relying on Zhang Yu alone.
"Your Majesty, the general is incompetent, please punish him. But no matter what, please bring in some rice..." Zhu Neng held a food plate in his hand and kneeled on the ground with all the generals to apologize. Zhu Di suddenly burst into tears, covered his face with his hands, and cried bitterly: "Victory and defeat are common things in military affairs. A defeat is no big deal, but I just regret losing such a good assistant like Zhang Yu. I'm afraid I won't be able to do it again in the future." Got it!"
Feng Sheng sighed and stepped forward to comfort him: "Please express my condolences, Your Majesty. Everyone is still waiting for Your Majesty to take charge of the overall situation!"
Zhu Di put down his hands, with tears in his eyes.
He stretched out his hand toward Zhu Neng: "Bring it here!"
Zhu Neng's face lit up and he quickly raised the food plate over his head and handed it over.
Zhu Di was not polite and just picked up the bowls and chopsticks. Tears fell into the food, but he didn't care and just ate it.
After eating, he threw the bowl heavily on the ground.
He stood up suddenly, his body as straight as a sword piercing the sky!
"I won't take revenge! I swear I won't be a human being!"
When the generals saw that the prince had regained his former domineering spirit, they immediately shouted in unison:
"I won't take revenge! I swear I won't be a human being!"
"I won't take revenge! I swear I won't be a human being!"
"I won't take revenge! I swear I won't be a human being!"
...
Feng Sheng looked at Zhu Di with worry on his face. He also wanted to wash away the shame of defeat in this battle, but he clearly understood that revenge was not so easy.
Now, although Zhu Di's actions like this can boost the morale of the army, it can also be done too hastily, which will lead to a complete defeat!
After the generals dispersed, Feng Sheng followed Zhu Di into the room.
After Zhu Di sat down, he took a sip of tea to relieve the bloating caused by eating too quickly.
"Song Guo Gong, please sit down. Do you have something to discuss with me in detail?"
Feng Sheng looked at Zhu Di carefully and saw that he was very calm and did not look angry at all.
After a pause, he reminded: "I know that the prince wants to seek revenge from Han Du, but after this incident, the prince should know that Han Du is not easy to get along with. If there is no comprehensive arrangement, it may be counterproductive!"
Zhu Di didn't look at Feng Sheng, but looked up at the window as the wind chased the rain, and the rain chased the wind. The wind and rain mixed together, flying everywhere randomly, and the whole world was covered in rain.
"Don't worry, Duke Song, Han Du will definitely be defeated this time!"
When Feng Sheng heard this, how could he feel relieved? He was even more worried.
"My lord, we must consider this matter in the long term! If we lose again, people's hearts will be broken!"
We just suffered a huge defeat, and if we lose again, our lives may be at stake.
Zhu Di turned around and smiled at him, then whispered a few words.
When Feng Sheng heard this, his eyes widened instantly and he looked at Zhu Di in disbelief.
"My lord, you, you really want to do this..."
Zhu Di smiled coldly and said nothing more.
Feng Sheng suddenly fell silent. At this point, Zhu Di could not let go of any chance to win. And if Zhu Di's plan is followed, defeating Han Du will be easy.
...
Xuzhou City.
The Ming army won a complete victory, and Han Du ordered the entire army to celebrate for three days.
After three days of drinking and eating, the morale of the Ming army soldiers soared to its peak.
But Han Du's expression was a little bad. He looked at the continuous heavy rain outside the room with a sinking face and let out a heavy sigh.
"Is it a pity that you could not pursue the Yan army?" Guo Ying said with a smile.
Geng Bingwen also added with a smile: "The Yan army has just been severely damaged. Even if they gather again, they will not be able to attack the city in a short time. We can also relax for a while." "We have not been able to complete the victory in one battle. We are trying to defeat it completely. It will be difficult for the Yan Army. Even if they can defend Xuzhou City, we don't know how long the battle will last. By then, it will be the people who will suffer!" Han Du shook his head slightly.
It is impossible to say that it is not a pity, but there is no way. Who made this rainstorm come so suddenly and last so long?
Although the heavy rain had little effect on the thunderbolt and revolver, it directly destroyed the cannon.
Although the city wall of Peixian County is far inferior to that of Xuzhou, there is no cannon to break through under the heavy guard of the Yan army, so I don't know how many lives it will take to fill it. Even if Zhu Di seizes the opportunity of the emptiness of Xuzhou City, it is not certain that Xuzhou will be conquered instead.
After careful consideration, Han Du had to retreat to Xuzhou first and then plan for the future.
"Hahaha, Lord Zhen, there is no need to worry. Since we can defeat Zhu Di once, we can defeat him a second time. If he wants to go south, he will inevitably have to avoid Xuzhou. As long as we hold Xuzhou, it will not be difficult to find opportunities like this one. .”
Guo Ying didn't care. He believed that as long as Zhu Di continued to attack Xuzhou, Han Du would finally find an opportunity.
At this moment, a general hurried in with a pale face. The clothes on his body were soaked by the heavy rain, and some damage could still be seen, and faint blood stains could be seen on the exposed skin.
When Han Du saw the general, his heart beat violently.
He quickly asked sharply: "What's wrong?"
The general knelt down weakly and said with a look of horror on his face: "Master, the Yan army is going to dig a dike!"
Yellow River embankment!
Han Du stood up suddenly and shouted: "What is going on? Tell me quickly!"
The general said with tears in his eyes: "Due to the heavy rain for days, the general was ordered to inspect the Yellow River embankment to ensure that the embankment was intact. But today, the Yan army suddenly crossed the river in the rain to seize the Yellow River embankment. The general could not resist and retreated, and found that they were trying to dig up the Yellow River embankment. "
"Master, please make a decision quickly!"
Han Du's expression changed drastically, and he immediately shouted: "There is no room for loss in the Yellow River embankment! Come on, order your troops and horses and follow me to take back the embankment!"
With that said, Han Du rushed out immediately.
Geng Bingwen quickly stood up, hugged Han Du, and shouted in a hurried tone: "It's too late, give the order to evacuate!"
Han Du was stunned. Didn't he know that it was too late? But when Han Du thought about the Yellow River bursting its banks and the turbulent Yellow River water rushing into the Jianghuai area, coupled with the heavy rains in recent days, it was simply adding insult to injury.
You can evacuate yourself, but what about the millions of people in the Jianghuai area?
When Geng Bingwen saw that Han Du didn't respond, he immediately shouted out the door: "Come here, give me the order to give up all your luggage except food and evacuate Xuzhou City immediately!"
"yes!"
The general who walked in glanced at the Duke of Zhen and quickly followed the instructions of Marquis Changxing to deliver the order.
Geng Bingwen shouldered the important task of defending the city, and Han Du had already ordered the entire army to obey Geng Bingwen's orders in the city. I didn't expect that this order would have an unexpected effect at this time.
Han Du came to his senses, but did not refute Geng Bingwen.
"Quickly retreat!" Guo Ying looked at Han Du with worry.
Han Du no longer hesitated and immediately ordered: "Withdraw the entire army from the city!"
There are many mountains around Xuzhou City, and the city is located on the only flat land. It is precisely because of the barriers of these mountains that Xuzhou has become a fortified city that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Although the Yellow River bursting its banks is extremely terrifying, as long as people can evacuate to the mountains, they can avoid being flooded.
Han Du had just been escorted out of the city by Geng Bingwen and others when he heard a loud noise from the northwest.
The Yellow River embankment was blown up by Zhu Di!
