In fact, the Qin army in Tongxian County left behind the Qin army in Xuxian County and ran for life alone, the Qin army in Xuxian County was doomed to fail. The only suspense in the final result was that is, how many Qin army in Xuxian County could be eliminated, and how many people could have escaped from the Xuxian County Qin army.

In order to reduce the difficulty of the next battle, Xiang Kang of course hoped that the more Qin troops in Xu County, the better, and it was better to capture all the Qin troops in Xu County. So as soon as the central army had just walked out of the mountainous areas, Xiang Kang immediately ordered the central army except his own personal troops to step forward, encircle the two wings, and encircle the Qin troops in Xu County, which were already entangled with the Young Commander's Army.

Wang Yu, the chief general of the Qin army in Xu County, soon discovered that the danger was approaching, but there was no way. The army was already fighting with the Young Marshal. There was me in the enemy and I was in my arms. The battlefield was dusty and the sky was covered with dust. People shouted and horses neighed, and no order could be conveyed. No order could be conveyed. Wang Yu could only gather the army around him as much as possible. While shouting and calling the Qin soldiers to move closer to him, he guided his main flag and led the army to marches to the southwest, trying to get rid of the entanglement of the Young Marshal's army, breaking through the southwest into a cluster, and fleeing back to Xu County bypassing the Chonggang Mountains.

Of course, Wang Yuan did this with a delusion. If he put down the main flag and gave up command and let the army flee in scattered, then the young commander army did not know how to effectively intercept it; but he tried to use the main flag to command the army to break through in groups, which was equivalent to telling the young commander army how to block the front and chase the back. So the Qin army had just found a direction for breakthrough under his guidance, and the young commander army soldiers who were surrounded from both wings were already blocking in front of them in groups. At the same time, the young commander army soldiers in the rear also slashed and killed, desperately kicking the Qin army's butt.

Forced by helplessness, Wang Yu had to choose to go west, but before he could go far, the crowd of the Young Marshal's Army appeared in front of him again, blocking his escape route again. Wang Yu urged the army to fight to the death, but he could not break through the Young Marshal's Army's blockade. He was forced to turn around and rush to the south, dreaming of escaping into the mountains and seeking as many opportunities for his soldiers as possible. However, after turning the flag, Wang Yu discovered that the front, back and left and right of his army were already soldiers of the Young Marshal's Army. It was difficult to break through the siege in a group, but Wang Yu still refused to give up, and shouted with red eyes: "Kill! Kill out! Take my life!"

The dying struggle was still useless. Although the Qin army in Xu County was eager to escape, they worked very hard during the rushing, but the individual soldiers were of limited quality. No matter how hard they rushed, they could not reverse the situation on the battlefield. Although the young generals, who were the first to be attacked, were greatly under great pressure and were rushed backwards by the Qin army in Xu County, they always retreated without breaking. While they were constantly retreating, they insisted on gritting their teeth to block the Qin army. The young generals in the other three directions took the opportunity to rush, like peeling bamboo shoots, weakening the Qin army that was eager to escape.

The battle had already reached a white heat. The Qin army rushed south desperately. The young generals were desperately hiding from three directions. The shouts of killing were deafening, and swords came and went. The soldiers on both sides sacrificed their lives to kill with red eyes. Either you stab me to death or I cut you to death. Crazy roars came one after another in the crowd. From time to time, you can see soldiers on both sides hugging each other, wrestling and biting on the ground, fighting to the darkness and the sun and the moon were gone.

The reason why the Qin army in Xu County was so desperate was of course because they were not far from their hometown Xu County, and the hope of going home was right in front of them, so even if they were betrayed by friendly forces, their morale remained undescended. However, as time gradually passed, this morale gradually faded in the fierce battle, the Qin army in Xu County gradually showed signs of defeat. The left wing, which was most affected by the enemy, was once again pulled into a close melee by the Young General's Army. Many soldiers could not escape and keep up with the team and could collapse at any time. The situation of the rear team and the left wing was also severe.

Fortunately, the Qin army's front team was still advancing forward tenaciously and gradually approaching the edge of the mountainous area. Wang Yan was also secretly happy, knowing that as long as he could escape into the mountainous area, with his own army's familiarity with the geographical environment, more than half of the troops could escape back to Xu County. However, at this moment, a team of 500 men from the Young Commander Army was like a divine weapon falling from the sky, and suddenly penetrated between the Qin army's front team and the mountainous area. Strengthening the troops blocked the Qin army's escape route. The Qin army's front team was suddenly in chaos, and panic shouts were everywhere.

"A traitor raised by a bitch!" He cursed again in despair, but Wang Yu was still unwilling to give up and shouted wildly: "Forward! Continue to move forward! Rush into the mountains! Rush into the mountains to survive!"

Wang Yan's crazy shouting this time was no longer motivated. After the road ahead was completely blocked, many desperate Qin soldiers either chose to flee to a place with few people, or cried and put down their weapons and kneeled down to surrender. The team was in chaos. The young general army soldiers took the opportunity to shrink the encirclement and surrounded the desperate Qin army in Xu County from all directions. The slogan of surrendering that he did not kill also echoed in the sky.

The Qin army in Xuxian, which was still fighting, was still fighting left and right, but it was useless. Not only could it not break out of the encirclement of the Young Marshal's Army, but the soldiers were obviously fewer and fewer. In just ten minutes, there were only less than a hundred people left by Wang Luo, and they were surrounded by more than ten times the Young Marshal's Army soldiers, and there was no hope of escaping. Seeing this scene, Wang Luo had no other choice except that he did not choose to let the soldiers scatter and flee in an earlier manner. He could only sigh and wiped his neck with a sword before the personal soldiers beside him reacted, and committed suicide by cutting off his carotid artery.

After Wang Yu's death, most of the Qin army in Xu County, which was trapped in the encirclement, chose to surrender. Occasionally, a few stubborn resistance were quickly cut into meat sauce by the young commander's army's swords. The Qin army of Xu County, which had more than 600 people, ended up completely wiped out. Only a few dozen people fled into the mountains in the chaos and disappeared deep in the dense forest. However, after the great victory, the young commander's army did not even have much time to rest. They hurriedly gathered the team and asked the rear team to take the Qin army captives, and then immediately set out to the north to chase and kill the Qin army in Tong County that had previously escaped.

The time it took to annihilate the Qin army in Xu County was much longer than expected. Xiang Kang was originally worried that his army would find it difficult to catch up with the enemy of Duan County that fled first. The cavalry of the Young Commander Army, with only more than 200 men, could not entangle the Qin army in Duan County for a long time, and insisted on his main force catching up with the enemy. However, the changes in the matter surprised Xiang Kang so much that he couldn't believe it was true. Before the sky was dark, the young commander army who came forward to explore brought good news, saying that the Qin army in Duan County had been completely defeated by the cavalry of the Young Commander Army. The Qin army in Duan County had now fled in scattered and had no possibility of becoming a member to escape back to Duan County!

"Has it been defeated?" Xiang Kang asked in surprise: "How did the battle fight? Our cavalry is not in an advantageous position?"

"Report to the young commander, in order to escape as soon as possible, the enemy was in a mess when they fled. Our cavalry tried to rush and immediately dispersed the tyrannical Qin army." The scout replied with a graceful remark: "The tyrannical Qin army also threw away all the flags and gave up the unified action, so our cavalry just cut people and killed people, and there was no need to worry about the enemy forming a formation to fight."

After laughing for a while, secretly thanking the chief general of the Qin army in Tong County who was kindly helping, Xiang Kang felt a little relieved and ordered the main force of the Young Marshal's Army to slow down and go north at a normal speed to save the physical strength of the soldiers. While capturing and removing the lost Qin soldiers in Tong County, he led his army to the north calmly and turned around to attack the city of Tong County.

On the afternoon of the third day, the main force of the Young Marshal Army arrived at the foot of Tong County again. Of course, the whole county, which had lost more than half of the army, was in chaos. In order to defend the city, Hao Ba, the right lieutenant of Tong County, not only brought all the male servants of his family into the army to serve as soldiers, but also forced the county magistrate to strictly accede to all the young and strong men and women in the city to join the army and form a cannon fodder army to participate in the defense of the city. The atmosphere was unprecedentedly tense. The young Marshal Army, who was tired from the march, was calm and set up a camp five miles south of Tong County to prepare for various siege affairs.

At the same time, Yan Ju's family, who had long been lurking out of the city, came to Xiang Kang again. In addition to reporting the latest situation in Tong County to Xiang Kang, they also clearly told Xiang Kang: "Young Marshal, my master plans to secretly open the west gate of Tong County at the third update tomorrow night to welcome your army into the city. At that time, as long as you see a torch shaking under the Ximen City of Tong County, please ask the young Marshal to advance troops and kill into the city immediately and take over Tong County."

Xiang Kang nodded and said, "When I go back, I will tell the county magistrate Yan that after the matter is completed, I will give him the magistrate of Tong County and will continue to be reused in the future. In addition, I will also destroy the entire Hao clan and avenge him. But..."

Speaking of this, Xiang Kang delayed the ending a little bit, and then paused, saying, "But don't lie to me. Although I don't like to kill innocent people indiscriminately, if your head of the family lied to me and let my soldiers die in vain, I will never let him go, and his whole family!"

Yan Ji's family was trembling and knelt down to express their understanding, promising to bring Xiang Kang's original words. Xiang Kang nodded and asked the soldiers to take him down to rest. At dawn, he quietly sent him outside the camp and asked him to return to Tong County to bring a letter to Yan Ji. After Yan Ji's family left, Zhou Zeng next to him asked curiously: "Young Marshal, are you sure Yan Ji is really ready to surrender to Xiancheng? No longer doubt it is a fraud?"

"I'm not sure, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs. Unless our army really relies on the support of strict equipment to enter Tong County, I dare not determine whether he really surrendered or fake surrender." Xiang Kang shook his head and said, "But I still have to give him a chance, because one is that I want to minimize the losses of some soldiers who siege the city, and the other is that I can afford to lose now, and I can take a risk to take a bet without being sure enough."

"You can afford to lose? What does it mean?" Zhou Zeng asked in confusion.

"If Yan Ji really surrenders, we will only lose a few hundred people at most, which will not hurt our vitality and will not reverse the current situation." Xiang Kang said lightly: "And we have two rear guards, including the lower court, which can replenish soldiers, so we can now afford to lose some small battles and take risks appropriately."

After carefully considering the current situation of the Young Marshal's Army, Zhou Zeng of course nodded quickly and said: "I hope that the Yanji is not a fraudulent surrender. If we can successfully capture Tongxian at a very small price, we will be even more sure of it."

Xiang Kang smiled and said, "First fight the war in Tong County, and then consider Xu County. You have to eat food one by one, and you have to fight one by one. You can't eat a big fat man in one bite, and you can't destroy the tyrannical Qin in one bite."

The next morning, Xiang Kang called Xiang Zhuang, the three most capable generals under his command, Xiang Zhuang, Xiang Han and Feng Zhong, and told them Yan Ji's preparations to be the city tonight, asking them who dared to lead troops as vanguards, and took the risk to enter the city first. As a result, the three generals volunteered and rushed to take on this burden, but Xiang Kang did not immediately decide the candidate and said, "You must consider clearly whether Yan Ji really surrendered. I am not sure yet. Those who lead troops into the city first may face the danger of being ambushed by the tyrant Qin army and the possibility of death. So you think carefully about whether you are willing to go?"

After saying that, Xiang Kang deliberately looked at Feng Zhong again. Although Feng Zhong did not understand that Xiang Kang was deliberately giving him a chance to make meritorious service, he still overcame the fear in his heart. He immediately clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, Young Marshal, I have already considered it clearly, I am willing to go."

As soon as Feng Zhong finished speaking, Xiang Zhuang and Xiang Han, who were far more courageous than him, immediately spoke, expressing their willingness to take the risk of carrying out this mission. Xiang Kang sighed and said, "Okay, since Brother Feng speaks first, then you go. Remember, be careful. If you find that something is wrong, immediately take the army out of the city."

Feng Zhong, who was secretly favored by Xiang Kang, solemnly agreed. Xiang Zhuang and Xiang Han were one step late and did not raise any objections. Xiang Kang immediately arranged a plan to send troops to arrange the order of attack. While secretly preparing for night battles, he sent troops to cut down wood and pretended to build siege weapons to deceive the defenders of Tong County. At the same time, he sharpened his knives and did not delay the chopping of wood. He was also preparing to launch a frontal siege when the city was in failure.

At the second update of the night, Feng Zhong and Xiang Zhuang each led a team of 500 people, sneaked outside the west gate of Tong County, and then at the third update, the young generals saw a torch shaking under the Ximen City of Tong County, and quickly reminded Feng Zhong to see. After hesitating for a moment, Feng Zhong gritted his teeth, waved his hand and shouted: "Go up! Take down Tong County!"

There was no ambush, nor any conspiracy. The Young Marshal's Army led by Feng Zhong rushed into Tong County easily. It was still when Feng Zhong's troops were about to enter the city that the defenders on the city realized that something was wrong and quickly rang the gong to call the police. However, it was too late. After the five hundred Young Marshals Army entered the city first, the Qin army in Tong County, which had been severely injured, had no way to resist the Young Marshal's Army's offensive. The ordinary people who were forced to join the army immediately dispersed as soon as they saw the flag of the Young Marshal's Army and fled home impatiently, waiting for the Young Marshal's Army to take over the city. Only the Hao family led by Hao Ba shouted and forced the soldiers and the people to resist, but they were destined to be a mantis armed chariot, which was vulnerable.

The fire soon rose in Tongxian City, and panicked crowds ran and shouted on the streets, completely in chaos. The soldiers of the Young Marshal's Army led by Feng Zhong were invincible and unstoppable, cutting all enemies who dared to resist into pieces and crushed them into pieces. As soon as the rear team of the Young Marshal's Army led by Xiang Zhuang entered the city, Feng Zhong's troops had already reached the gate of the county temple in Tongxian County. The Qin army completely collapsed. The Hao family led by Hao Ba also decisively forgot the young Marshal's army's killing relatives, and took the initiative to send envoys to contact the Young Marshal's army, requesting to put down their weapons and surrender in exchange for survival.

The Hao family can forget the hatred of killing their relatives, but Xiang Kang did not forget his promise to Qin Ershi's distant relative Yan Ji, and the rich family property accumulated over the years. Therefore, after successfully capturing the entire Tongxian city, Xiang Kang's first thing after entering the city was to order the arrest of all men, women, young and old of the Hao family, and to publicly count the various evil deeds of relying on their family forces to bully the people of Tongxian County - of course, the black materials were provided by Yan Ji. Their family dared to lead their troops to resist the unpardoned crimes of the Young Marshal's Army several times, and ordered the entire family to be destroyed and confiscated. Then they issued a list of people to comfort the people.

With Yan Ji, the county magistrate of Tong County who took the initiative to tie up his own pirate ship, Xiang Kang of course quickly handled various aftermath matters and incorporated some Tong County, the Qin army of Xu County and the people of Tong County who took the initiative to join the army, the troops in their hands quickly exceeded 3,000. Then Xiang Kang did not hesitate and quickly arranged Yan Ji and Bao Wen to lead the army to stay in Tong County, and arranged Feng Zhong as the vanguard, personally led the troops south to attack Xu County, where the defensive forces were empty.

In addition, when leaving, Xiang Kang handed over a letter to Feng Zhong, asking Feng Zhong to shoot the letter to Xu County when he led his army to the foot of Xu County. Zhou Zeng next to him was curious about asking about the content of the letter, Xiang Kang smiled and said, "I told Xu County officials in the letter that I had massacred the Hao family, and accused them of sending troops to reinforce Tong County, asking them to open the city and surrender within one day after our army arrived in Xu County. Otherwise, after I captured the city of Xu County, all the officials in Xu County would be executed! I would also kill the whole family!"

"Is it useful?" Zhou Zeng was a little worried and said, "Will it backfire and force Xu County to resist to the end?"

"The strength is enough, I'm not afraid of them resisting to the end." Xiang Kang smiled and said, "Also, Uncle Ya, if you were the county magistrate of Xu County, what would you choose?"

After careful consideration, Zhou Zengcai said truthfully: "There is no way out, I will choose to surrender. I hope the officials in Xu County are so smart and will make the same choice as me."

The officials of Xu County did not disappoint Zhou Zeng. Two days later, the main force of the Young Marshal's Army led by Xiang Kang had just crossed the Chonggang Mountains. Feng Zhong, who led the army as the vanguard, sent a happy letter to the Xu County officials, saying that the officials of Xu County had already opened the city gate and obediently put down their weapons and offered them to the Xu County County. Hearing this good news, the Young Marshal's Army was of course cheering, and everyone was happy. Xiang Kang was also happy and said with a smile: "It's just the beginning. There will only be more and more such things in the future."

After smiling, Xiang Kang suddenly thought of something. However, without waiting for Xiang Kang to continue thinking, Zhou Zeng, who was next to him, had already come to make trouble and asked if he would continue to go south to Xu County. Xiang Kang said casually: "Of course we have to go. Feng Zhong still lacks some experience. We have to help him with the aftermath and add some soldiers in Xu County."

Then after being distracted, Xiang Kang forgot his accidental intention just now, and couldn't wait to consider various personnel arrangements after taking over Xu County, as well as how to further promote and reuse generals from other surnames, gradually get rid of his excessive dependence on the children of the Xiang family, and prepare for his longer-term future.

…………

Another thing must be explained. When the news that the officials and guards of Xu County voluntarily put down their weapons and surrendered to the young commander's army quickly spread, it spread to Huaiyin County, Donghai County, bordering Xu County, it immediately caused a huge sensation among the people of Huaiyin, becoming the biggest hot topic of discussion among the streets and alleys and townships. A tall sword-wearing man couldn't help but say in surprise after hearing the news: "Xiang Kang's military power is so sharp? Can he force a county town to surrender voluntarily?"

"That's of course. I heard that Xiang Kang's rioters had tens of thousands of troops, and they were invincible and were invincible. He had never defeated a single battle since his rebellion." The passerby who was talking loudly looked proud and tried his best to show off his well-informed information. He said mysteriously: "I heard that our county magistrates in Huaiyin are very panicked now, fearing that the county soldiers recruited a few days ago were not enough, and he was going to expand the county army below. What he was afraid that the rioters would continue to advance eastward and come to attack our Huaiyin."

"I won't come." The man wearing a sword suddenly spoke, saying: "If Xiang Kang is really an outstanding hero and ambition to the world, he would never come to attack us Huaiyin at this time. If he really comes, it means that he is just an incompetent person, and his team is destined to be a flash in the pan."

"Bah!" The raving passerby spat heavily and cursed disdainfully: "Who are you? You can also be praised as a hero in the world?"

After cursing, the passerby spat at the tall sword-wearing man and cursed: "Child under the crotch!"

Ignoring the contempt and insults of passers-by, the sword-wearing man just gently stroked his sword, and turned his eyes to the distance, looking towards Xu County, with a look of yearning on his face. However, after touching his empty purse and his stomach that had been hungry for a long time, the sword-wearing man sighed helplessly, walked to the river with a thick face, looking for a kind-hearted rinsing aunt begging for food.
