Let’s talk about Yuan Wu and Xu Ding, who had just become military princes a few days ago.
Although they have not killed people to establish their authority in the army like Zhang Kai, the soldiers in this unit are all genuine Jiangdong soldiers, and they have no personal soldiers to serve as role models. But after seeing the command flag waving in the back mountain, they were all thinking of ways to organize troops to counterattack.
Xu Ding's method was simple and crude. He led the few followers of the Xu clan who were attached to him and set an example by fighting to the death with the Shanyue soldiers who were chasing them up the mountain.
The situation on Yuan Wu's side is a bit surprising.
I don’t know what means he used to actually make his two village commanders obey his orders, and even commanded his hundreds of Jiangdong soldiers to launch a counterattack immediately.
Although the Jingxian side still generally has the upper hand in the battle, this advantage is not solid.
Once they stop pursuing victory and their momentum is frustrated, the situation will easily change!
After all, their number is too small.
Xu Ding fought very hard!
The proficiency and warlikeness of the Shanyue soldiers far exceeded his imagination.
If it weren't for the fact that the opponent's forces were extremely dispersed, Xu Ding doubted that he would be able to survive the moment Zhang Kai came back.
"Look, over there in the back mountain, it seems that our people are coming back!"
"It seems to be Captain Zhang, look at that flag!"
"Nonsense, wasn't Lieutenant Zhang stabbed to death by a thief a long time ago?"
"You're blind. You have eyes to vent your anger. You can't look down!"
As Zhang Kai led hundreds of people back, many people noticed the strange phenomenon behind the battlefield.
"The person supervising the battle on the back mountain is Governor Yuan, right? Why is he still here?"
"Did he guard the back hill?"
"It seems true. Look, those Jingxian soldiers were driven down the mountain by Governor Yuan's personal troops!"
"What should we do, are we still running?"
"Run...or not run?"
"If you fight hard, you'll probably die. I'll follow Xu Junhou!"
"..."
On Stone Mountain, Yuan Wu snorted coldly: "See for yourselves, I'm not bluffing you!"
"It's not too late to get your men back now!"
"..."
As the sun sets, the war gradually comes to an end.
Yuan Jun did not win in the end, he just drove the Jingxian soldiers from the battlefield.
Although the Jingxian troops once had the absolute upper hand, they were leaderless and fighting on their own, and they were unable to maintain the battle situation in the face of Yuan Jun's counterattack.
It was Yuan Jun who finally cleaned up the battlefield.
However, out of the six thousand troops at the beginning, there were less than two thousand people left at sunset.
The other four thousand people either died or escaped...
Just like before the war, Yuan Yao didn't care at all about the casualties.
At this moment, he only cared about the 7-foot-7 man in front of him.
"Captain, the enemy general Tai Shici is here!"
Chen Dao, who was covered in blood and dust, raised his hands and returned to life.
"Well, bring it here."
Compared with his heroic appearance when he left the city, Taishi Ci looked in a very embarrassed state at this time.
A pair of handsome eyebrows were beaten into big black eyes.
There was blood overflowing from the corners of his mouth, and one of his teeth was knocked out.
His clothes and armor were covered in blood and dust, and there were many cuts on his body caused by rocks.
This made Yuan Yao feel distressed, but at this time he still maintained a stern look on his face.
"Ho~ poof!"
Taishi Ci spat out a mouthful of blood and stared at Yuan Yao, as if he wanted to eat him alive with his eyes.
If he hadn't been tied up all over, Yuan Yao wouldn't have dared to let him get close.
"Tai Shi Ci, are you willing to surrender to me?"
"Pooh!"
Taishi Ci struggled to break free from the restraints, as if he was about to rush up and bite Yuan Yao, but the next second he was pinned down to the ground by four soldiers.
"Despicable boy, don't humiliate me!"
"If you want to kill or behead me, I'll let you go, but if you want me to surrender, it's absolutely impossible!"
"You... seem dissatisfied?"
Yuan Yao pressed the handle of the knife on his waist and walked to Tai Shi Ci.
"Hahaha, it's a joke. I will accept everyone, whether it's the guy named Chen Dao or the idiot who captured me. I'll accept them all, but I won't accept you!"
Taishi Ci laughed wildly:
"I just don't obey you! How dare a child of an aristocratic family with no knowledge or skills and a false reputation dare to show off his power in front of this prefect?"
"Why are you so proud? Didn't you just win the battle by luck? Do you dare to let me go back and fight again?"
"I want to let you go back, but I'm afraid you won't be able to go back!"
Yuan Yao was neither hasty nor slow, neither hasty nor slow.
It's like stating a fact that has already happened.
"Jing County, you can't go back."
Ta-ta~ta-ta~
The sound of horse hooves came from far to near, followed by another long "hoo" sound.
A letter rider got off his horse, unhooked a round package from his horse, and ran up the back hill in three steps and two steps at a time.
"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, Xu Sima has captured Jingxian County, and all the warehouses and warehouses in the county have been sealed up, awaiting the Commander-in-Chief's instructions!"
Xinqi knelt down on one knee and opened the blood-stained package again.
"This is the head of the false captain, please take a look at it!"
Tai Shici's mouth, which was about to mock Yuan Yao, immediately lost his voice when he saw clearly the appearance of the human head in the package.
"How...how could..."
"How can this be?"
"How is this impossible?"
Yuan Yao's psychological quality was enough to look directly at the severed head.
"While you are leading your troops into battle, my men are also climbing your walls."
Only then did Taishi Ci realize that he had made a fatal mistake.
Although he had known for a long time that Yuan Yao still had two thousand soldiers guarding the camp.
But he only thought about whether Yuan Yao would come out in full force and let the two thousand people circle the battlefield to surround him.
But he forgot to be careful that the other party would steal the city directly!
He only had more than 2,000 people in total. He brought 1,500 people out of the city for this battle. Those who stayed behind were some new soldiers and the old and weak.
He deserved it if someone took down his lair in one fell swoop!
Taishi Ci stared blankly at the head of "Captain Danyang" and fell into doubt.
"You agreed to fight with me here just to lure me out of the city and then send troops to attack Jingxian County?"
"Is this all a trick you set up to drain the fire?"
"No! You're only half right."
Yuan Yao shook his head: "I did use a tactic to draw out the firepower, but a small Jingxian County is not worth my troubles!"
"That's why..."
"For you, Taishi Ziyi!"
Yuan Yao took a deep breath and put his hand on Tai Shici's shoulder.
"Even if you put the entire Danyang County in front of me, I will still choose you, General Taishi!"
There were two expressions of confusion and confusion on Taishi Ci's face.
"This battle is faked, just to attract you, General Taishi, to go up the mountain in exchange for you and me meeting, nothing more!"
Fake defeat?
How can it be!
"Do you think I'm so blind that I can't tell what fraud is?"
"How can there be such a fraud in the world!"
Tai Shici sneered, feeling that Yuan Yao was talking to himself and justifying himself!
"Why not?"
Yuan Yao pointed to the 1,800 remnants of the army at the foot of the mountain and sneered: "Does General Taishi think that they are holding the flag of my Yuan family and that they are my Yuan family's soldiers?"
"No, they are the Jiangdong soldiers I borrowed!"
A ridiculous and bold idea suddenly exploded in Taishi Ci's mind.
