As Lu Fan revealed to himself, Yuan Yao had extremely poor control over the army. Not only did the army lack good generals, they had no choice but to appoint Zhang Kai, a former Yellow Turban thief, as the captain. Moreover, he was so nepotistic that he actually promoted two close soldiers to become military princes!
And Zhang Kai, who was notorious for robbing and killing the family of Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, was reused under Yuan Yao a few years ago! This man was so greedy that he even bought and sold military positions in the army. He sold a military prince's real job at a low price for only 100,000 yuan!
It is said that this person became the captain of Danyang because he bought the official position through bribery from the eldest son of the Yuan family!
However, the thousands of Jiangdong soldiers who were originally quite capable had been neglected in training and rectification under Yuan Yao. Both combat strength and morale were extremely weak. Coupled with Yuan Yao's improper appointment, morale was also very low.
Therefore, just as Lu Fan deduced to Tai Shici before the war, if Yuan Jun was only slightly disadvantaged, it would collapse and be defeated!
Taishi Ci was originally a warlike warrior, and his heart always preferred decisive battles in the field rather than passively defending the city.
It's just that he led all his capable men out of the city to fight. This battle can only be won but not defeated, and Yuan Jun's performance was too unbearable, which made him a little more doubtful.
But at this time, he already believed Lu Fan's words!
Yuan Yao and Yuan Jun are really unbearable!
Simply vulnerable!
It’s a real dish!
Taishi Ci saw clearly the reality of Yuan Jun, and all doubts in his heart were swept away.
With a finger of his finger, Chang Zhan once again commanded his troops to kill, showing off his usual confident and calm demeanor!
At this time, except for the hundreds of people who died in the battle, all the rest of Yuan's army of 6,000 people collapsed!
However, the number of casualties among Jingxian soldiers was only dozens!
Because of the narrow terrain, the defeated troops of Yuan's front and middle armies either panicked and were forced to go up the stone mountains on both sides.
As far as the eye can see, there are figures of Yuan's defeated troops abandoning their armor and fleeing in embarrassment.
Although Yuan Jun's two thousand rear troops were already invincible before the battle, Taishi Ci would never give Zhang Kai any chance to regroup and fight again. He still took the lead and charged forward with all his strength.
In a short time, Tai Shici took the lead and fought his way to the foot of the back mountain with his spear.
At this time, there were less than a hundred soldiers from Jing County following Tai Shici.
Most of the soldiers in Jingxian County were mixed up in the rebel army and fought independently.
Some Shanyue soldiers who were eager to kill even ran up Stone Mountain to chase Yuan's soldiers.
Almost all of these Shanyue soldiers on the rugged stone mountains have the ability to walk as fast as flying on flat ground. And those sergeants of Yuan who thought they could escape pursuit by running up the mountain never expected that their enemies could actually run faster on the mountain than on the flat ground!
Although he found that his soldiers were now extremely scattered, Taishi Ci did not take it seriously.
Now is the time to establish victory and expand the results!
He used 1,500 soldiers to defeat many with less, and defeated Yuan's army of 6,000 soldiers. The battlefield was a little chaotic and the troops were scattered. This is normal.
Stir it up, the more messy it is, the better!
Anyway, Yuan's army has been defeated. Naturally, the more chaotic the battlefield, the greater his profits!
"General, look at the mountain, there is Yuan Jun still there!"
A soldier suddenly pointed at the back mountain and shouted.
Taishi Ci raised his head and saw the two hundred Yuan troops on the back mountain still lingering on the mountain.
After only sizing it up, Taishi Ci said with a sure-win tone: "Oh, it's just that the Yuan family's child was frightened out of his wits!"
There are two flat roads on the left and right at the bottom of the back mountain. At this time, they were both crowded with Yuan's soldiers who were trying to escape.
Taishi Ci just thought that Yuan's army was defeated too quickly. There was chaos everywhere, with troops squeezing people, pushing, trampling, and even killing each other, so much so that the pampered eldest son of the Yuan family was so panicked that he didn't even dare to go down the mountain.
"Hahaha, the Yuan family's child will probably be so frightened by the general's intimidation that he won't even be able to walk!"
The soldiers in Jingxian County burst into laughter.
"Follow me and charge and capture the Yuan family's son alive!"
After saying this, Taishi Ci clamped the horse's belly and rushed straight up the mountain.
Taishi Ci naturally understood the principle of capturing the thief first.
If this battle can not only defeat the majority with less, but also capture the Yuan family's heir apparent alive, he will surely become famous in Jiangdong!
No, not only Jiangdong, but maybe also famous in Jianghuai!
"kill!"
A group of soldiers from Jingxian County were full of fighting spirit and followed Tai Shici and rushed up the mountain without hesitation.
This back mountain is also a bare stone mountain, which can be seen at a glance. Moreover, the mountain is neither high nor steep, making it difficult to cast even rolling wood and rocks.
In a mountain like this, there is no need to worry about being ambushed by design.
This was also the reason why Taishi Ci dared to go forward and take Yuan Yao directly.
At this time, he took it for granted that Yuan Yao was frightened. Although there were about two hundred soldiers around him, he was still vulnerable!
But the fact is that everything Taishi Ci experienced today was Yuan Yao's design!
It’s really a fraud!
A trick to lure the enemy into defeat!
…
On the hillside, Yuan Yao had already set his sights on Tai Shi Ci.
From the moment Taishi Ci jumped into his own army's formation, Yuan Yao's eyes never moved away from Taishi Ci.
No matter how many Yuan troops, oh no, Jiangdong soldiers were beaten to pieces, Yuan Yao never said a word.
But when Taishi Ci finally straightened his halberd, he charged straight at him with indomitable force.
Yuan Yao's expression finally changed and he opened his mouth for the first time:
"Well done!"
"Xu Chu, you are responsible for clearing the troops!"
"Oh~"
Xu Chu, who was traveling lightly, shouted back angrily.
"Chen Dao, you are responsible for pestering Tai Shi Ci!"
"promise!"
Chen Dao, who was dressed in military uniform, answered with his hands raised.
"Bring me the bow!"
Yuan Yao shook off the black lamb fur from his body and wore chain mail, shining in the sunlight.
As soon as he raised his hand, a three-stone bow appeared in his hand.
There is also a black hard arrow in the other hand.
At the same time, one hundred of the two hundred Yuan troops on the mountain took out the hard bows behind them.
Opening the bow and setting up the arrow, all done in one go.
The actions of a hundred people are exactly the same as Yuan Yao!
Don't ask why!
The question was taught by Yuan Yao!
Hey! The art of bow and arrow shooting of these hundred soldiers was really taught by Yuan Yao step by step!
