Chapter 686 If you want to promote, suppress first!(2/2)
After defeating the First Division led by Yuan Song, Xu Zhaojie originally wanted to return to the division and annihilate the First Army cavalry unit that went deep into the hinterland of Anqing. However, the cavalry commander Xia Yunsheng was also very alert and immediately withdrew to Fengqiu when he saw that things were not going well.
·······················
There is no doubt that according to the battle report, the Fengwu Army suffered a defeat on the front line facing Xu Zhaojie. It lost both troops and generals, which can even be said to be the most serious defeat that the Fengwu Army has suffered since its establishment.
Although due to time constraints, Xu Zhaojie may still be in Anqing when this battle report is written, but if Ye Mingsheng's judgment is correct, Xu Zhaojie may have already entered Hebei and Henan, killing officials supported by Fengwu Army and those who supported Fengwu

Ye Mingsheng knew about Yuan Song's proactive tactics against Xu Zhaojie. Because of his trust in Yuan Song and his inability to understand the frontline battle situation in time, Ye Mingsheng allowed Yuan Song to act cheaply. Although Yuan Song lost this time, Ye Mingsheng

During the cavalry, Yuan Songcai led his troops out of Fengqiu to prepare for a blitzkrieg into Chengfeng County.
And Xu Zhaojie is also a ruthless person. After learning that Yuan Song led his troops out and was about to return to Anqing City with his troops, he just led his troops to march lightly for a day and night, and led his troops back to Chengfeng County to ambush. Here
One thing that needs to be noted is that the search range of the scouts sent by Yuan Song was ten miles away, so in order to avoid being discovered by the scouts, Xu Zhaojie could only ambush fifteen miles away.
And this directly led to the fact that when Yuan Song led his troops to attack Chengfeng County, Xu Zhaojie, who originally wanted to annihilate Yuan Song's troops in one fell swoop with an ambush, could only launch an attack from fifteen miles away, which gave Yuan
In the time it took Song to react, he only suffered more than 3,000 casualties and then retreated calmly...
(Dear readers, I have been thinking about this chapter for a long time. The main reason is that I feel that the protagonist has developed too smoothly and has basically never encountered failure, so I want to write a failure to temper it, but please remember one thing -
