In fact, it was not that General Qiao Rui had no chance, nor had he not considered it, to bring the Huainan tanks that had gradually deviated back onto the right track. At least on the night when he defeated the Xuzhou forward team, Qiao Rui made a move to withdraw the main force overnight.

The thought of reaching the south bank of the Huaihe River. But unfortunately, Qiao Rui was also blinded by the successive victories of three battles and three victories, and felt that

I was a little too fearful of the enemy before, overestimating the combat effectiveness of the Xuzhou army, and underestimating the morale and fighting spirit of the new soldiers under my command. In addition, the army was quite tired after the battle to attack the camp and the pursuit for more than 40 miles, so I hesitated again and again.

At this time, Qiao Rui finally gave up the idea of ​​crossing the river overnight to retreat, and missed the best opportunity to adjust tactics.

Qiaorui still had a chance the next day. After confirming that Qin Yijun had retreated all the way and never returned, Qiaorui, who had no worries for the time being, inevitably had the idea of ​​taking the opportunity to cross the river south. However, when he summoned his generals to announce the decision, he had always

Qiao Rui, who was extremely prestigious in the army, was unanimously opposed by his generals this time.

Yes, every general of Yuan Shu's army believed that the combat effectiveness of Xuzhou's army was no more than this. Although it would be convenient for his army to retreat to the south bank, it would not have the opportunity to expand the results of the battle. Therefore, not only did no one support Qiao Rui's decision, some even suggested that Qiao Rui simply

He raised his troops and went north, taking the initiative to fight the main force of the Xuzhou army.

As a former army general, as long as Qiao Rui can make up his mind, no amount of opposition from his generals will have any effect. However, Qiao Rui hesitated at this moment. On one side, his generals were firmly opposed to retreating while taking advantage of the victory;

It was Xiao Yuan Sangong who ordered the main force to be stationed on the north bank to fight. Qiao Rui, who could only be regarded as a second-rate general in the Three Kingdoms era, was inevitably a little hesitant and difficult to make a decision. Unable to make up his mind, he used the courage of a general to issue a death order to kill those who did not retreat.

In addition, there is another important factor that influenced Qiaorui's decision, that is, the Xuzhou army did not perform well in the Zhuyi War last year. The reason why Qiaorui himself lost to the Xuzhou army on the battlefield was because of Yuan Shu

There were traitors in the army, which made the Qiaorui army unstable, and the Xuzhou army dispatched the Langya army, the ace in infantry warfare at the time. Again

Coupled with the lack of reinforcements by Xiao Yuan Sangong, Qiao Rui was forced to abandon the embryonic Huangshan Camp and retreat south. At the same time, in that battle, Qiao Rui's team also caused damage to the Langya Army, the best infantry team in Xuzhou at the time.

The heavy losses caused the Langya Army to pay a heavy price before they managed to successfully attack the enemy. It can be said that even though they were defeated, they were proud of their defeat. They were not convinced by their defeat.

After losing unconvincedly last time and fighting Qin Yi again this time, Qiao Rui came to the conclusion that Xuzhou's army was still nothing more than this, and couldn't help but have the thought, "Now without the lord's blind command holding me back, I am alone."

If you lead an army of 30,000 to fight against the Xuzhou army, you will not necessarily lose, right? Even if you cannot defeat the leader of the Xuzhou army,

I can completely rely on the camp fortifications to hold on firmly and wait for the real main force of our army led by General Zhang Xun and others to reinforce the main battlefield. Besides, the enemy's forwards have lost consecutive battles. This will definitely have an impact on the spirit and morale. Our army is fighting against the enemy, which can help

The soldiers' morale and fighting spirit are improved, and the advantage is still on our side!"

After having this idea and considering the scolding written by Xiao Yuan Sangong after he learned that he had only sent a division to camp across the river, Qiao Rui gritted his teeth and decided to take a gamble, withdrew his order to withdraw the entire army to the south bank of the Huaihe River, and changed it to

In order to strengthen the camp, build fortifications. At the same time, he ordered the south bank to be

The rear army rushed to repair the pontoon bridge across the river, transported a large amount of grain and military supplies across the river, and prepared for a protracted battle. When the generals of Yuan Shu's army saw that they had lost their way across the bridge, they naturally burst into joy, while imagining the rich rewards and scenery after defeating the enemy.

I couldn't wait to go down and carry out the order.

After missing this final opportunity to retreat, poor General Qiao Rui would have no chance. Just when Yuan Shujun's soldiers began to build the fortifications of the camp slowly, Xuzhou's main force, which had been crawling like a tortoise before, suddenly sped up.

With the speed of the army, men and horses stepped up, racing against time to rush to the Zhongli battlefield. Xuzhou's No. 1 Ace Gentleman Army, which had rarely taken action recently, rushed to the front and used its best long-distance attack skills to rush towards the Zhongli battlefield at full speed to contain it.

Yuan Shujun.

The speed of Junzi's army was so fast that even the scouts sent by Qiaorui could not catch up. After these scouts discovered that the Xuzhou army suddenly accelerated their march, they also rushed back to Zhuli to alert Qiaorui, but they did not wait for them.

No matter how far they ran, the Junzi Army, which was marching at full speed, was already coming from the rear. Under a volley of arrows, one after another,

The scouts of Yuan Shu's army were hit by arrows and fell from their horses. Then the officers and soldiers of the Junzi Army who rushed forward did not even bother to swing their swords and axes. They trampled these Yuan Shujun's scouts into a pulp with their horses' hooves. No one who slipped through the net could escape the pursuit of the Junzi Army.

Even if they were killed, none of Yuan Shujun's scouts could deliver the news to Zhongli and buy Qiao Rui time to respond.

Tao Ji's promise to Tao Ying was not an exaggeration at all. With each Junzi Army officer gradually equipped with three war horses, the distance of less than 150 miles was indeed too short for the Junzi Army.

No matter how short the attack distance is, even if the soldiers are allowed to rest for an hour and a half at night,

, the Junzi Army arrived at the Zhongli battlefield in only one afternoon and one night, and suddenly appeared in front of Yuan Shu's army, which had not even fully established its camp. And when the Junzi Army's cavalry team saw the divine soldiers descending from the sky, they have so far

Yuan Shujun, who was still immersed in the joy of winning all three battles, was also dumbfounded.

"How is it possible? How is it possible?" The most shocked person was Qiao Rui himself, who even screamed in front of the panicked Yuan Shujun soldiers, "Based on the distance, the Xuzhou army is still at least a hundred miles away.

It is a rapid march, and it will take at least tonight to reach Zhongli. How can we come now? Our scouts have gone to explore the horse, why didn't any of the scouts inspect the horse and call the police?"

After exclaiming, Qiao Rui turned to his outpost officer, Captain Yang Zheng, and shouted: "Yang Zheng, how did your sentry horse scout? Why didn't you report the enemy's situation to me when the enemy had already arrived outside our barracks?"

"

"General..., I don't know either." Yang Zheng replied, sweating profusely: "General, I am also wondering about this matter. Why did not one of the scouts sent to inspect the horse report the news, and no scout was seen?

Are you back from exploring the horse?"

"Trash!" Qiao Rui was furious and kicked Yang Zheng away. At this time, Qiao Rui's deputy Song Wei came up and persuaded: "General, don't be upset. Why did our scouts neglect their duty to explore the enemy's situation? You can slowly

After investigation, the rebel cavalry is coming from far away. The soldiers and horses must be exhausted and have reached the end of their crossbows. The general will ask for orders to lead the army out of camp to fight and defeat the rebel army!"

In the last Zhuyi battle, the Junzi Army basically did not go into battle openly. Qiao Rui had not personally experienced the Junzi Army, nor had he heard the slogans of the Junzi Army. He could not let the enemy's cavalry show off their power outside the camp, so he quickly

He agreed to Song Wei's request for a battle and asked Song Wei to lead 5,000 infantrymen out of the camp to fight. Qiao Rui himself led his troops to the camp gate to watch the battle, and ordered the whole camp to be on guard.

After a while, the poor General Song Wei led his troops out of the camp, and he and the Junzi Army faced each other outside the camp gate. Deputy Director Tao's wicked cousin Tao Ji was not afraid of the reaction, and smiled and said: "Okay, I didn't shout on purpose.

Slogan, someone finally came to the door to die, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Lu Bu. Which of you will come?"

Through the guessing game, the Gentleman Army singled out General Lu Bu, one of the three gods of war, and became the lucky man to take credit. He happily rushed out of the flag formation carrying the Fangtian Painted Halberd made of wood, leaving Guan Yu and Zhang Fei behind.

The 'fierce general' lamented his bad luck in the team. After General Lu Bu jumped out of the formation, he naturally shouted at the top of his voice. "Lü Bu and Lü Fengxian are here. You guys, come here and die!"

"Lü Bu? Lu Fengxian?" Like all unlucky men, poor General Song Yu was also frightened. He quickly clapped his horse and marched out of the battle with his sword drawn, exclaiming: "Are you Lu Wenhou? Didn't Lu Wenhou die at the foot of Changyi City?

Why are you still alive?"

"No! My surname is Lu, and my name is Bu. My name is Fengxian, which means fish and sheep are fresh! You nameless rat must die!"

General Lu Bu's answer naturally made General Song Wei furious, and when he saw General Lu Bu swinging his halberd to kill, General Song Wei did not hesitate to leap towards General Lu Bu with his sword, roaring angrily and kill General Lu Bu, followed immediately by Lu Bu.

Of course General Bu shouted out the iconic slogan of a gentleman's army fighter general, then threw away his halberd and ran away, "Unknown rat, please spare your life this time!"

"General Song————!"

Then of course came the heart-rending screams of Yuan Shu's soldiers. In full view of everyone, the light cavalry of the Junzi Army who had been ambushing behind the two groups of heavy cavalry came out in unison and shot three hundred feather arrows at the poor General Song Yu.

Poor Song Yu

The general shot his men and horses into hedgehogs, killing both men and horses on the spot. After being stunned, Yuan Shu's army angrily rushed towards the shameless gentlemen to fight for their lives, and the gentleman's army's best Mangu evil tactics naturally came into use.

Amidst the thunderous shouts of killing, the poor infantry of Yuan Shu's army charged towards the gentleman's army with full of anger. The shameless hypocrites turned their horses' heads together, trotting to keep their distance, using their four legs to bully the enemy's two legs.

He kept turning around and firing arrows, killing Sergeant Yuan Shu who couldn't even get close.

Soldiers. After receiving careful guidance from the sharp archers of the Lu Bu Army, the accuracy of the bows and arrows of the Junzi Army officers has also been significantly improved. Basically, an average of five arrows can hit an enemy, and ten arrows can kill an enemy.

The enemy's bows and arrows kept breaking through the air, and the poor soldiers of Yuan Shu's army kept falling.

Seeing such a situation from a high place, Qiao Rui, who had heard of such shameless tactics from Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu and others, suddenly turned pale. She suddenly understood that her army had encountered those plague gods, and she was frightened.

At this moment, Qiao Rui quickly stopped the generals from pursuing the pursuit and asked for orders, and quickly sent a horse to send an order to Song Yu's army, asking Song Yu's troops to withdraw quickly and not to die in vain!

In fact, there was no need for Qiao Rui to send an order. After discovering that it was impossible to catch up with the Junzi Army, the Yuan Shu Army officers and soldiers under Song Yu had spontaneously stopped the pursuit. However, what made these Yuan Shu Army officers and soldiers even more angry was that they had just stopped chasing.

Killed, just ran away

The Junzi Army, who was faster than a rabbit, turned around again like a mangy dog. Without saying anything, he was still greeted by an overwhelming barrage of bows and arrows. The soldiers of Yuan Shujun continued to scream and fell down. When Yuan Shujun rushed forward to fight for his life, the Junzi Army again

Already ran away. And Qiao Rui's

The order was conveyed, and when Yuan Shu's army retreated, the Junzi army immediately turned around and rushed back. They kept drawing their bows and arrows on their horses, trying desperately to kill the poor Yuan Shu's soldiers. The arrows were everywhere, and the poor Yuan Shu's soldiers were all shot.

One after another fell down, one after another

Each one's blood spattered, and screams and screams kept coming. In order to avoid the bows and arrows and scramble for their lives, the soldiers of Yuan Shu's army trampled and bumped into each other, causing countless deaths. Many more soldiers of Yuan Shu's army fled in all directions, becoming a gentleman's army to pursue and massacre indiscriminately.

The souls of those who died under the arrows.

When the remnant army of the Song Dynasty finally withdrew to the camp that was barely protected by a stockade fence, only about 3,000 of the 5,000 infantrymen left when they set out were shocked by the fierce arrow rain from the Junzi Army. Poor Qiao Rui

The general finally believed Zhou Yu's evaluation of the Junzi Army - Pingyuan is invincible! He also regretted wasting a day with many treasures.

He wasted time and failed to withdraw the main force across the Huaihe River in time. But now it was too late to regret it. Crossing the river under the current situation of a strong enemy would be courting death, so Qiaorui had no choice but to quickly order Duobu to use strong bows and crossbows.

Guard the fence of the camp, and rush to repair the camp fortifications at the same time, intending to stop the gentlemen's army before considering the next step.

Yuan Shu's army camp was guarded by strong bows and crossbows. Of course, the Junzi Army, who didn't like risking human lives, refused to launch a force attack, but not liking force attacks didn't mean that the Junzi Army had no way to take advantage of Yuan Shu's army who was hiding behind the fence. He had already been completely beaten by his wicked cousin.

The corrupted Tao Ji personally took action and led a group of loud voices

The officers and soldiers of the Gentlemen's Army cursed loudly in front of the gate of Yuan Shu's military camp, and also called Qiao Rui names. They cursed Qiao Rui from the 18th generation of his ancestors to Qiao Rui's unborn grandson. The harsh words and rich vocabulary were unbelievable.

Even though Qiao Rui was quite civilized, she couldn't help but be so angry that her whole body was shaking and she was furious.

"Child Qiao Rui, your mother still has the nerve to call herself a general and general, so you can hide in a tortoise shell like a tortoise and become a general? If you still want to show your face, get out and fight to the death with your ancestors! If you don't dare to come out,

Okay, I heard that your mother-in-law and your daughter have some looks, so send them out.

Let's have a good time, and we'll leave immediately after we've finished. We'll keep it for your mother-in-law and leave some seeds in your daughter's belly to help you carry on the family lineage and leave a few outstanding descendants! Lest your mother Qiao Rui sigh in the underworld.

.Said she gave birth to a pig back then and now you have given birth to several dogs for her!"

The lack of curse words in the late Eastern Han Dynasty can be seen from the fact that the old demon Zhuge cursed old man Wang Lang to death. Therefore, after hearing that Tao Ji learned these vicious and obscene words from his wicked cousin, not only Qiao Rui himself was shaking with anger, but also

All the generals under Qiao Rui were furious, or rushed to the village fence and quarreled with the gentleman's army.

He rushed to Qiao Rui and asked for a fight, asking him to lead an army to attack these bad-mouthed hypocrites. As a result, the generals of Yuan Shu's army who were scolding the Jun Zijun were all scolded bloody, and Qiao Rui refused the order to send troops to die.

It also made Yuan Shujun's military morale confused, and the morale he had finally built up after three battles and three victories was extremely low.

"Let them scold them, and don't get involved with these hypocrites and villains." Qiao Rui suppressed the anger in his chest and ordered with a livid face, "Send the order, anyone who goes out to fight without authorization will be killed immediately! Intensify the emergency repair work and build a pontoon bridge.

, be prepared for any eventuality!”
