A large number of Wu soldiers were killed. Despite this, because of the large base, there were still a small number of lucky Wu soldiers who fled back in small boats.

They tried to leave Ruxushui and seek a way out, return to the east of the Yangtze River, or swim to the east of the Ruxushui and avoid the pursuit of the Wei army on the west bank.

It’s fine if you run back along the water, but those who escape to the east coast are too anxious and can’t figure it out.

Wouldn't the Wei army set up an ambush on the east coast?

General Yingyang of Wei State Cao Xing was assigned by Zhang Liao to cooperate with Xu Huang and led an army to set up an ambush on the east bank of Ruxu River.

When a large group of Wu soldiers rushed to the east coast and fled eastward, Cao Xing immediately led his army out and shot arrows fiercely at the group of Wu soldiers.

The arrows cut through the sky and rushed straight away, killing a group of Wu soldiers in an instant, and a large number of people fell down.

There was also a group of Wu soldiers who saw that there was an ambush here, and they were immediately frightened to death, turned around and wanted to run back.

Cao Xing was not willing to let go, so he bent his bow and arrow and shot him at him, then shouted "Chased for me" and led his army to chase him.

While chasing, Cao Xing bent his bow and arrows on the horse, and shot him at a figure who looked like an extraordinary officer and a helmet.

Cao Xing was lucky, and an arrow shot through his neck. The officer threw himself forward and lost his voice.

"Kill here!!"

Cao Xing threw away the bow and arrow and pulled out the ring-headed sword and rushed over, killing a Wu soldier with one knife.

The soldiers of the Wei army followed closely behind and chased after a series of killings. They killed countless Wu army infantry who were in a hurry without the protection of the military formation. The Wu army infantry encouraged to resist and was no match for the Wei army at all. They were quickly wiped out.

Cao Xing got off the horse and found the person who looked like an officer who was shot to death by himself. He turned his body over and saw that he was a middle-aged man with a little white hair and his eyes were dying with his eyes closed.

An officer of this age is probably not a small fish, but a big fish.

Thinking that he might have killed a big fish, Cao Xing happily cut his head and prepared to go back and ask for help.

Cao Xing killed the Wu army soldiers who climbed the east coast and tried to escape, and then led the horse team to leap away and chased the Wu army small fleet that was heading south along the Ruxushui River to try to escape.

On the other hand, a cavalry led by Xu Huang himself was also galloping on the shore, galloping while riding and shooting, and shooting arrows at Wu Jun who was desperately rowing the boat in the river where the boat was running away.

The waterway of the Ruxu Water is not wide and cannot avoid the range of crossbows well. Some of these Wu soldiers were lucky and even brought shields to resist. Some were not, so they were shot to death by an arrow. The Wu soldiers on the boat were killed one after another, and they were all finished.

There were also crossbowmen on the ships of Wu army. Shield soldiers protected the crossbowmen. They could fight back while rowing, and shot several Wei cavalry archers to death, which made Xu Huang furious and pursued him relentlessly.

But in the end they still didn't catch up. They kept going south along the river, but the horses gradually struggled to continue chasing. Xu Huang could only curse, watching the remnants of the Wu army successfully flee.

Although he was annoyed, Xu Huang knew that he had made great contributions.

Using a catapult to strengthen the crossbow and the invincible infantry and cavalry, he successfully destroyed a Wu army, and it seemed that there were a large number of people, countless people who were killed were squeezed into the water and drowned or killed by arrows.

Of course, this is not the main force of the Wu army, but a partial division. However, Xu Huang himself felt that being able to defeat an enemy army can prove that he has the ability to command an army to fight on the battlefield.

After the war, it was counted that at least more than 10,000 Jiangdong soldiers were killed in this battle, most of whom were shot to death by arrows in the river, and some were killed by flying stones or drowned.

In addition to a large amount of killing and injury, Xu Huang also captured nearly 4,000 Jiangdong soldiers. Those who were lucky enough to escape by boat were probably less than 3,000.

The general who Xu Huang killed himself under the banner of a general was recognized by the surrendered soldiers and confirmed that it was General Zhaowu of Wu, Jiang Qin, and Xu Huang was very happy.

Afterwards, Cao Xing came to ask for rewards with a head. When the Jiangdong surrendered soldiers who were responsible for identifying it, they burst into tears when they saw this head.

After asking carefully, Cao Xing was overjoyed. It turned out that this head was the head of Cheng Pu, the left general of Wu State, who had been following Sun Jian and Sun Ce for more than ten years.

Cheng Pu was the chief general of this army. He was entrusted by Sun Ce to lead this army alone to attack Lujiang County. It was originally inevitable.

Cao Xing was shocked by this great joy at that time. Xu Huang looked at Cheng Pu's head and suddenly felt that Jiang Qin's head was no longer as heavy as that.

Having said that, I am the leader and the leader who stands alone.

In this battle, the Wu army was defeated by 10,000 and almost wiped out the entire army. It was the result of his command. Of course, the first contribution was Xu Huang himself. Cao Xing could only be regarded as the second contribution, and the same was true for reporting to Zhang Liao.

Xu Huang was still very happy.

He felt that the fact that the General Zhang Liao had told him that became a general was becoming a fact, and he felt that a bright future was waving to him.

Sun Ce actually felt this way.

As the army slowly moved forward, Sun Ce also felt that a bright future was waving to him, and he felt that he would soon reach the peak of his life.

As long as you win Jiujiang County and Lujiang County here and make Yangzhou complete, you will have the ability to win the Central Plains.

Although he had never fought with Guo Peng's army, in his opinion, when Guo Peng led his army to fight south and north, he also led his army to fight south and north. Guo Peng faced the opponents of foreign tribes, and he also faced the opponents of foreign tribes.

Guo Peng fought non-stop and built a strong army in the world, and he also fought non-stop.

Local tyrants, separating the official forces, and Shanyue barbarian forces won so many victories, and the elite level of the army would not be lost to Guo Peng.

In addition, Zhou Yu also proposed a new tactic, which relies on ships to offset the advantages of the Wei army's infantry and cavalry, which Sun Ce liked very much.

After arriving at Chaohu Lake, you can directly enter Shishui, and move northward from Shishui to reach the city of Hefei.

The Hefei County is on the water shore. As long as the Sun Wu army lands, they can basically set up a formation to fight the Wei army.

No, you can shoot arrows to attack the Wei army on the shore when you are on the boat.

The Wei army will definitely block the Wu army's landing, so we must take advantage of the ship's advantages to attack the Wei army with arrow rain, defeat the Wei army, and then send troops to land and attack Hefei City.

As long as it is on the waterway, the Jiangdong Navy is invincible. If it can use the waterway, it will be easy to transport food or reinforcements.

Sun Ce also sent someone back to ask about the battle situation between Cheng Pu and Wu Jing. In his opinion, Cheng Pu had at least conquered a county town, gained a firm foothold, and repelled the Wei army with his advantage in military strength.

Wu Jing's side should be similar. Sun Ce felt that Wu Jing could also rely on his navy's advantages to deal with a huge blow to the Wei army in Guangling County, making it impossible for the Wei army in Guangling County to attack.
