Qiao Rui heard the sound of horse hooves coming from far and near, and saw the galloping cavalry, and was immediately confused.
He was ambushed by Taishi Ci.
Fell into a trap!
Qiao Rui thought of the past, and was even more uneasy about being ambushed by Lu Xuan. Although there were only a few hundred cavalry who were temporarily killed, if the opponent dared to come, there would definitely be a large army ambushing them.
"Behead Qiao Rui, kill!"
In the blink of an eye, there was another overwhelming shout from behind the cavalry.
The rumble of drums soared into the sky.
The sky filled with smoke and dust announced that those who were killed this time were not only hundreds of cavalry, but also countless armies to cover them up.
Qiao Rui was even more panicked.
"We were ambushed. Retreat."
Qiao Rui roared loudly, instead of resisting or fighting, he turned his horse's head and retreated.
His soldiers also retreated hastily.
While Qiao Rui was retreating with his men, three hundred cavalry led by Tai Shi Ci had already charged into Yuan's soldiers.
The cavalry was running wildly, the horses were clashing, and the swords were slashing, and the soldiers of the Yuan Army collapsed immediately. Even so, there were still some soldiers of the Yuan Army who were not willing to give up the money on the ground immediately, so they fished a few handfuls hard, and then fled reluctantly.
Taishi Ci led his men to charge, and the enemy in his path was invincible. Yuan's army continued to collapse. Although Taishi Ci did not see Qiao Rui, after he led his men to charge into the formation, he suddenly shouted: "Qiao Rui has been defeated.
Kill."
"Qiao Rui is defeated, kill!"
The cavalry shouted loudly.
When the soldiers under Qiao Rui heard this, they were not surprised. Their general had already escaped.
Countless people fled after him.
Taishi Ci and his men continued to chase from the ambush location to the fork leading to Hefei County. At this time, the news of Qiao Rui's defeat had been sent away by Yuan Shu's first batch of sentinels.
Taishi Ci seized the time and loudly said again: "Qiao Rui was knocked off his horse."
"Qiao Rui was knocked off his horse and his life or death is unknown."
Countless cavalrymen shouted.
The shouts of the cavalry caused the soldiers under Qiao Rui's command, who had already collapsed, to become even more chaotic. With Qiao Rui still there, many people still had backbone. At this moment, when the news came out that Qiao Rui's life and death were not known, the soldiers of the Yuan army who were running around could not
When I saw where Qiao Rui was, I didn't have time to verify it, so I was even more panicked.
"Qiao Rui was killed."
Taishi Ci continued to chase for some distance and shouted again.
"Qiao Rui was killed."
The three hundred cavalrymen shouted again.
The sound echoed on the battlefield, and Qiao Rui's people were even more defeated. Countless people heard that Qiao Rui was killed, so they simply stopped running and surrendered. They kept escaping. There were also some soldiers who ran farther than Qiao Rui.
quick.
Qiao Rui was also running away. When he heard the news that he had been killed, he was helpless. He had no time to refute the rumors, and he did not dare to refute the rumors and shout.
If news about him spreads and Taishi Ci catches up with him, he will definitely be killed.
When Qiao Rui collapsed and fled, the initial information was transmitted back to Yuan Shu's ears.
Yuan Shu was a little confused when he learned that Qiao Rui was defeated.
He learned about the detailed situation and learned that Qiao Rui discovered the money-delivery team and deviated from the road to grab the money, so that he was plotted by Tai Shi Ci. Yuan Shu was furious.
With great difficulty, he gathered 20,000 people and attacked Hefei again. He wanted to take advantage of Lu Xuan's absence in Lujiang County to capture Hefei first, and then attack Lujiang County to seek revenge.
Now, it's a bad start.
Before the army reached Hefei, the three thousand vanguards were immediately defeated.
Yuan Shu's face was ugly, and he was even more panicked. The forward army was defeated, should he advance or retreat now?
"Report!"
Another sentry came rushing back.
The sentinel came to Yuan Shu and reported: "Report to General Qi, Qiao Rui has been killed, and countless soldiers have been killed."
This is the latest news from the detective.
After Yuan Shu heard this, his cheeks twitched even more. Qiao Rui was defeated, but now he was killed. This meant that Tai Shi Ci was coming very fiercely. Yuan Shu looked up, and he even saw many people in front of him.
They fled back one after another.
Yuan Shu swallowed his saliva and asked: "Xu Shao, Yang Hong, what do you think we should do?"
Xu Shao said in a panic: "My lord, the most important thing when fighting a large army is momentum. Now that Qiao Rui has been killed, we have lost all momentum and the morale of the army has been greatly affected. Let's withdraw."
Yang Hong was also timid and afraid of getting into trouble, not to mention losing to Lu Xuan's side consecutively, which made Yang Hong a little timid.
He also had a lot of family property in Shouchun. It was not worth his while to compete with Taishi Ci here. Returning to Shouchun was the best choice.
It doesn't matter if the army is defeated.
Anyway, his family business will not be affected.
Yang Hong made an instant decision and echoed: "My lord, Xu Shao's analysis makes sense. If Qiao Rui is not dead and has held back Tai Shici's army, we can fight. Now that Qiao Rui is dead, deserters continue to appear.
Come back, the morale of the army is not stable, we will definitely lose, so withdraw."
Yuan Shu was still a little hesitant at first, but after hearing what Xu Shao and Yang Hong said, the remaining hesitation disappeared in an instant.
The fighting spirit in my heart collapsed.
Yuan Shu slapped his lips, and said in a panic: "Withdraw the troops, the whole army retreats."
After the order was issued, Yuan Shu quickly evacuated.
As soon as he retreated, the fighting spirit of the army collapsed, and countless people retreated and fled frantically.
Most of Yuan Shu's infantry were infantry. These infantry fled quickly, without formation, and there was no one to break up the rear. There was no way to retreat, so Taishi Ci led 300 cavalry to pursue them. When the cavalry passed by, Yuan's army continued to collapse.
.
Taishi Ci's eyes were bright, thinking about Xu Shu's instructions, and said loudly: "Pass it on, Yuan Shu has been defeated, go ahead."
"Yuan Shu fell down from his horse."
"Oh no, Yuan Shu has been killed."
"Yuan Shu has surrendered to General Taishi."
Countless people shouted loudly, and the news spread became more and more outrageous. When Yuan's army collapsed, all the soldiers were unable to distinguish it, which led to Yuan's army being defeated miserably. Many people learned that Yuan Shu had surrendered, and they knelt down and surrendered.
Taishi Ci led 300 cavalry in pursuit, and surrendered in large numbers wherever they went. Xu Shu led 5,000 soldiers in pursuit, and continued to surrender prisoners.
In this battle, Taishi Ci pursued them for a full day and night, and reached Chengde County before withdrawing his troops. When Taishi Ci returned to Hefei, Xu Shu had surrendered all the prisoners and counted the results.
Taishi Ci saw Xu Shu's overflowing joy and asked, "Commander Xu, how is the battle going?"
Xu Shu said excitedly: "General Taishi, Yuan Shu was defeated in this battle, and more than 4,600 soldiers were killed. Of course, not so many were actually killed by us. A considerable number of them were caused by crowding and trampling on each other when they fled.
. We have captured ten thousand people."
After hearing this, Taishi Ci was extremely excited.
This battle was fought happily.
Taishi Ci said: "This confrontation really opened my eyes. Military Advisor Xu, I only had 300 cavalry, but I defeated Yuan Shu and forced Yuan Shu to run away. This time, thanks to Military Advisor Xu's strategy, Military Advisor really
sharp."
Xu Shu shook his head and said humbly: "The reason why I can defeat Yuan Shu this time is not because of my great strategy, but because of multiple reasons."
"This situation cannot be repeated."
"First, we have Xu Shao, an internal agent, who accurately gave Qiao Rui information. We know Qiao Rui's greed for life and fear of death, and know that he is greedy, so we can make a seduction plan based on his character."
"First of all, we ensured the defeat of Qiao Rui."
"Second, Yang Hong is also greedy for life and afraid of death. After the collapse of Qiao Rui, Xu Shao persuaded Yuan Shu to retreat, but Yang Hong did not dare to persuade Yuan Shu to take the lead in the battle. The two main counselors both suggested retreat, and Yuan Shu had no intention of fighting to the death.
We must order a retreat."
"As soon as Yuan Shu retreats, he will be truly defeated."
"Third, my lord once defeated Yuan Shu and made Yuan Shu flee in embarrassment. From Yuan Shu to the lowest level Yuan Jun soldiers, they were all afraid of my lord and did not have the courage to fight desperately. Yuan Shu was also eroded by drinking and sex, his heroic spirit was lost, and he lost his courage.
If it were Cao Cao, he would definitely counterattack, and even the rumors we spread would be useless."
"Fourth, General Taishi dared to fight and kill. The cavalry invaded like fire, sweeping like a river, and did not give Yuan's soldiers any chance."
Xu Shu talked eloquently and said: "These reasons led to our victory. My plan is not surprising. It is just taking advantage of the situation."
Tai Shici said: "Master Xu is so humble."
Xu Shu said: "General Taishi, you can send a letter to my lord and report your achievements. In addition, here in Jiujiang County, you can take advantage of Yuan Shu's defeat and people's hearts are depressed to layout Lujiang County and develop your own people. In the future, if my lord attacks Yuan Shu, you can give me an order."
If you do it, you can overthrow Yuan Shu in Jiujiang and achieve great success."
Taishi Ci's eyes lit up and he said: "Taishi Ci is very grateful for the advice given by the military advisor. I will send a letter to the lord right away. Regarding the layout of Jiujiang County, I would like to ask the military advisor Xu for your advice."
Xu Shu said: "General Taishi is polite."
Taishi Ci wrote the battle report and immediately had it sent away in the direction of Lu Xuan.
