Jiang Qin and Tai Shici were still one step late.

Just as they were on their way to support the town of Sanshan, they happened to encounter a few defeated soldiers who had fled from there. In fact, Jiang Qin also expected this result to be ten years old, after all, he only left five hundred people to guard, even if they were all elite sailors, in the face of tens of thousands of Zhang Liaojun, the outcome was self-evident.

"The loss of Sanshan Town is all my fault!" Jiang Qin was embarrassed and indignant when he heard this, and with a "snort" in his heart, he pulled out the sword at his waist and was about to kill himself. Tai Shi Ci's eyes were quick, and he quickly grabbed his right hand holding the sword. "General Jiang, now that Sanshan Town has been lost, Niuzhu and Hulin Dazhai are not guaranteed, we still need to return to the army as soon as possible, and then plan later!" Tai Shici said in a deep voice, and Lu Meng on the side was also persuading.

"The lord ordered us to stick to the north bank, but now the Xuzhou army has taken advantage of it, what face do I have to see the lord!" Jiang Qin blamed himself. "General Chiang, you are not to blame for this. It's not that General Jiang is incompetent, it's really that Zhao Feng is too cunning! Let's straighten out the military horses and go back to Wu County first! Tai Shici didn't care whether Jiang Qin agreed or not, and directly turned his head and led the army to Wu County. Lu Meng glanced at Jiang Qin, his mouth moved, and finally he didn't say anything, just drove his horse to catch up with Tai Shici. Jiang Qin was stunned for a long time, but he still went to Wu County with them. It's just that the three of them left in a hurry, but they forgot to send troops to tell He Qi of the Tiger Forest.

"Wenyuan, Wenda, you two have really made a miraculous achievement this time!" Following the first wave of sergeants who successfully crossed the Yangtze River through Sanshan Town, Zhao Feng also happily faced Zhang Liao and Li Tongdao. Except for Guan Ping, who led 10,000 people to stay on the Lujiang River, and Gan Ning who led the water division to the Ganjiang River to help in the battle, the rest of the nearly 100,000 troops had all crossed the Yangtze River in almost two days. With these 100,000 people in Jiangdong, Sun Quan's son will not be better.

Without waiting for all the troops to cross, Zhao Feng had already ordered Zhang Liao to garrison Sanshan Town, and he and Gao Ran led a group of men and horses to directly attack He Qi in the Tiger Forest to the west. At the same time, Li Tong and Wen Ping led a group of men and horses to attack Anhui City from the southwest, and then attack Hulin. At this time, more than 40,000 Xuzhou troops had crossed the river, and the numerical advantage was suddenly more obvious than when they looked across the river. On the premise that He Qi did not receive Tai Shici's timely warning, when he found that Zhao Feng's people were attacking in the west, the Xuzhou army was less than twenty miles away from his camp.

"Prepare to retreat!" He Qi was also quick to respond, although he couldn't figure out how the Xuzhou army crossed the Yangtze River, but he knew that once the Xuzhou army came, it would be difficult for his own 5,000 people to hold the Hulin Village, so he hurriedly ordered to evacuate the water village and retreat to the southern Anhui City to defend the city. It's just that this time, it happened to be self-defeating and bumped into Li Tong and Wenpin's team.

"General, the Jiangdong Army is going to run!" When there were still five or six miles away from the Hulin Water Village, a sharp-eyed soldier vaguely saw a group of men and horses rushing out of the Hulin Water Village and heading straight south in the night ahead. "It seems that He Qi wants to slip away, General Gao, you lead your troops to occupy his water village first, and I will take people to chase him!" Zhao Feng briefly finished the division of labor, and then led the army to chase after him. The Jiangdong Army has few horses, and the 7,000 soldiers stationed in Hulin this time have less than 50 horses in the whole army. Except for the generals and scouts, there is almost nothing left. If Zhao Feng had a cavalry in his hand, he would be able to step forward and entangle the other party with a stick of incense at most, but now he is a peerless horseman, but his subordinates can only rely on two legs to compare their feet.

"General, there is a chasing army from behind!" Although He Qi was running, he had been on the battlefield for a long time, so he naturally arranged a pair of front and rear sentinels, and it didn't take long to find Zhao Feng's chasing soldiers. "How many people are coming?" He Qi asked in a deep voice.

"About seven or eight thousand!" The sentry gives an approximate number. In fact, it was almost these troops, Zhao Feng and Gao Ran took a total of 16,000 men and horses from two divisions to this way, and Shi Cai divided one division of 8,000 people to Gao Ran to occupy Hulin Water Village, and he led 8,000 people to chase after He Qi's deserters. He knew that there were only 7,000 defenders in Heqi Hulin Water Village, but he was not afraid of being bullied by others.

"It's only eight thousand, the enemy army is coming in a hurry, and they are tired all the way, so it's better to return to the army by surprise and then retreat to Anhui City. Although his number is small, the odds are not small. Thinking of this, He Qi immediately sent an order to go down to the rear army to change into the front army and prepare to engage in battle.

"Stop!" Zhao Feng saw that the Jiangdong army in front of him also stopped, and immediately understood that the other party wanted to rush and kill, so he could take the opportunity to drag him here, and then completely annex this army, and immediately ordered the whole army to prepare for battle.

"Let's get the name together!" The two armies were only half a mile apart, and He Qi was secretly frightened when he saw that the Xuzhou army was lined up so quickly. However, at this time, he could not hesitate, and immediately rushed out to call the battle.

"Xuzhou Zhao Feng!" Zhao Feng saw that a person who looked like a general came to the opposite side, Gao Ran was not there, but he was in charge. In the past, he always called himself Zhao Feng, the general of Xuzhou, but now he calls himself Zhao Feng of Xuzhou. Although Liu Bei had already named him the general of Zhengnan, he was still not used to calling him by this name for a while.

"Is it him?" He Qi also felt a pang in his heart when he heard this, he knew that Zhao Feng was the commander of Xuzhou's attack on Jiangdong this time, as long as he defeated him better than killing anyone, he didn't answer at the moment and rushed forward with a horse and a knife. Zhao Feng had never seen this kind of person, and after asking for his name, he killed him directly, and he didn't even report his name. "Am I some enemy of yours that I am so blushing when we meet you like this?" Zhao Feng wondered in his heart, but he was not slow at all, and he also slapped his horse and stepped forward to meet him.

After a few moves, Zhao Feng had a preliminary understanding of this He Qi's strength: although his martial arts were not bad, he was obviously inferior to himself. Now even if he has been on the road for a long time, he is still victorious in the battle with him. He Qi was not as confident as Zhao Feng, and he was surprised as soon as he fought: this Zhao Feng is young, why is his martial arts so good, almost on par with the ancestor Sun Ce.

When it was said that although Zhao Feng made Sun Ce die on the battlefield one-on-one, the process was more tortuous. Sun Ce was hit by two arrows and one shot, and the generals of Jiangdong who had never witnessed this battle thought that he was hit by the hidden arrow first, and then Zhao Feng took advantage of it, but he didn't expect that Zhao Feng gave Sun Ce a ruthless blow first by returning the horse pistol. He Qi also didn't expect this, and when he realized that he was by no means Zhao Feng's opponent, it was too late to get out. I panicked, and the work in my hands was even more discounted.

"Hey!" Zhao Feng saw that the other party's flaws were becoming more and more obvious, and finally made a move, taking advantage of the second horse's wrong pedaling, a shot was drawn on He Qi's back, and he was directly pulled off the horse. "Tie up!" Zhao Feng pressed the tip of the gun against He Qi's chest, and several soldiers behind him hurriedly stepped forward with ropes and tied them.

"Up!" But it was the sergeants under He Qi who saw that he was captured and prepared to come forward to rescue him. Zhao Feng waved his gun, and the eight thousand Xuzhou troops behind him also shouted and rushed forward to engage in the battle. For a while, the shouts of killing were everywhere, and the swords, swords, and shadows flew flesh and blood.

Although He Qi was tied strongly, his head was still clear, but he only looked at the situation on the field slightly, and suddenly understood that he was defeated and invincible today. For no other reason, Jiangdong's non-commissioned soldiers' land combat ability and Xuzhou Army are not on the same level at all.

Since the last time Zhao Feng and others practiced military reform, the cooperation between various arms in the melee has gradually been valued by the generals. Seeing that the Xuzhou Army and the Jiangdong Army were fighting at this moment, the soldiers of Xuzhou finally kept the sword and shield soldiers and pikemen fighting together as much as possible. When the weapons of the Jiangdong Army swung over, the sword and shield soldiers first used their shields to resist, and then the pikemen stabbed from afar. Such cooperation cannot be said to have avoided casualties, but it has indeed reduced a lot.

Moreover, there is also a gap in the personal combat effectiveness of the soldiers on both sides, and it is often seen that the Jiangdong army is blocked by the opponent's shield, and the weapon in his hand is broken out of the long and wide open door, and then he can only watch with his eyes as the opponent's blade stabs into his chest. Coupled with the lack of command after He Qi was captured, and the number of people tended to be inferior, the Jiangdong Army was bound to lose this battle.

At this moment, there was another uproar behind the Jiangdong army, and it turned out that another Xuzhou army had killed from behind them at some point, and this time the two sides were even more defeated. In less than two hours, the melee ended with nearly 3,000 of Jiangdong's 5,000 soldiers and the rest captured. The ones who really ran away, but dozens of people who were very fast and had very good luck.

"Wenda, hard work!" At this time, Zhao Feng had already seen that it was a group of men and horses led by Li Tong who were killed from behind the Jiangdong Army. At this time, after Gao Ran found out that Hulin Water Village was a completely empty village, he hurriedly left 3,000 people to garrison, and he led 5,000 troops to help in the battle, but he didn't catch up with the big battle, and only had time to help clean up the battlefield.

"General Zhao, General Gao, Wancheng has also been taken, and then you can pacify the counties south of the Lujiang River." Li Tong also couldn't hide his excitement, and only then did he notice He Qi tied on the ground.

"So very good, I mean, tonight the army will rest in Anhui City first, and tomorrow will pacify the Lujiang counties!" Zhao Feng also had a preliminary plan. Looking up at the sky, Zhao Feng estimated the time slightly: If everything is still going well, when he takes the entire territory of Lujiang, it will be winter. Generally, it is difficult to have any major battles in winter, so the top priority is to build a few cities in the south of the Yangtze River, so that the soldiers can have a stable winter.

"That's great!" Gao Ran and Li Tong didn't feel anything wrong, except for leaving thousands of men and horses to garrison Hulin that night, the rest of the army went to Anhui City to meet Wenpin. On the way, Li Tong told Zhao Feng about the capture of Anhui City, it turned out that Sun Quan and Zhou Yu did not expect that the Xuzhou army could cross the river to attack so quickly, and the defenders of Anhui City only had 2,000 county soldiers. Wen Ping didn't play any tricks, he directly attacked the city and took it in less than an hour, and the captain who defended the city was hacked to death by Wen Ping, and the rest surrendered.

"General Zhao, the combat power of this Jiangdong Army and my Xuzhou Army are really heaven and earth." Li Tong said that Wancheng was so easy to take, but he also had some disdain for the Jiangdong Army. "Wen Daxiu has to be careless, what we have encountered at the moment are only the Jiangdong Navy and the county soldiers. The real Jiangdong elite, we haven't seen much yet. Zhao Feng couldn't help but look east when he said this, Gao Ran didn't know where it was, but Li Tong knew that it was Danyang County, and he couldn't help but think of the world-famous Danyang elite soldier, and his heart was suddenly cold.

After resting for a night, Zhao Feng left Li Tong to garrison Anhui City, and he and Gao Ran led the troops to pacify Shu, Lu'an, and Jing counties respectively. Among them, except for Lujiang County, Shu County, which is guarded by 3,000 slightly decent soldiers, the rest are invincible. The guard general of Shu County is Jia Hua, who is also Sun Quan's confidant, and he will resolutely not surrender in the face of the pressure of the army, and defend the city to the death. However, Zhao Feng knew that he would be such a die-hard, and he deliberately brought five hundred soldiers from the camp when he captured Shu County. As a result, in Jia Hua's unbelievable eyes, the trapped camp rushed to the head of Shuxian County like a whirlwind, and then the Jiangdong defenders were defeated in a chaotic battle, and Jia Hua himself was hacked to death by Zhao Feng, and the rest were invincible. At this point, as Shu County, the governing place of the South Lujiang River, was also taken, Zhao Feng finally pacified the entire Lujiang County before winter.
