Chapter 178: Victory in the first battle(2/2)

Seeing that there seemed to be a large number of enemies hiding in the north, as if they were coming towards them, the troops immediately marched south, intending to join Jia Lu, but were attacked by Fan Yuan at the foot of the stone mountain.

The Yuan army was only surrounded by Jiangdu troops in front and behind, and they were surrounded. They were immediately defeated and fled in all directions.

Fang Yuan ignored the defeated troops, gathered his troops as quickly as possible, and headed towards Jiangdu City.

Jia Lu at the north gate of Jiangdu City was shocked when he learned that the ambush troops hiding in the forest were under attack, and quickly stopped the siege.

A general said anxiously: "Old general, they have seen through our plan, quickly order the retreat!"

Jia Lu took a deep breath and said: "To retreat now is to seek death. Send the order and order the army to gather into a defensive square and prepare to break out!"

Jia Lu's choice was correct. Fang Yuan came very quickly. If he had retreated directly just now, he would have been blocked and the army would have collapsed.

Zhang Yangquan on the city wall saw the battle and immediately ordered a call to the city gate. The Qin sisters, who had been waiting for a long time, led their generals and 10,000 cavalry to rush out of the city gate and surrounded Jia Lu in front and behind.

Although the Yuan army was outflanked, they resisted very tenaciously and kept trying to break through Fangyuan's 10,000-strong army.

It's a pity that Jiangdu's army was united, and Fang Yuan was even more unstoppable. He stayed at the front of the defense line, like a one-armed god of war, preventing the Yuan army from crossing the thunder pool!

In the end, the two armies fought fiercely for more than two hours. The Yuan army finally couldn't resist. The cavalry broke through the formation and was divided into countless small pieces. It could no longer form effective resistance.

After more than an hour of harvesting, the Yuan army was completely wiped out. More than 10,000 people died in battle, more than 8,000 people surrendered, and the rest were scattered and disappeared.

Zhang Yangquan issued an order to let Hou Hou, Wang Da, Li Er, Sun Hu, and Liang Rong each lead 3,000 people to search for deserters in the suburbs to prevent them from destroying fields and disturbing the people.

After this battle, Jiangdu's army seized more than 20,000 pairs of armor, countless weapons, bows and crossbows, as well as some grain, grass and war horses. It was a rich harvest.

In particular, the defeat of the main force of the Yuan army and the famous general Jia Lu was of far greater significance than the battle of Hezhou. It severely dampened the spirit of the Yuan army and greatly boosted the morale of both the army and the people.
