"Report, an army is coming from Yiyang County.”
After summoning Xiong Kuohai to surrender, Cao Yun began to clean up the battlefield and prepare to enter Anlu Prefecture.
However, at this moment, a soldier rushed over to report.
"Sigh, it seems that Gao Tansheng still doesn't trust me to guard Anlu Prefecture alone. He must have come with reinforcements.”
Xiong Kuohai let out a long sigh when he heard this.
While he was guarding, Gao Tansheng, who knew that the Jiangdong Army was coming, had warned Xiong Kuohai many times.
It was also because of this that Xiong Kuohai led his army out of the city to pursue after gaining the advantage.
"Lord, this is good too. It saves us the trouble of heading to Yi Yang County.”
When Li Jing heard this, he revealed a meaningful smile.
Gao Tansheng probably didn't know that the war in Anlu Prefecture had ended.
This time, the Jiangdong Army could set up an ambush in advance. When Gao Tansheng arrived, they could ambush him.
"My lord, I agree with the general's plan.”
Xin Wenli said.
Under such circumstances, the success rate of an ambush was almost 100%.
"Alright, then let's give Gao Tansheng a big gift.”
The corners of Cao Yun's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a cold smile.
The ambush location was the closest road from Yiyang County to Anlu County.
Since Gao Tansheng was worried, he would definitely take the shortest route.
The main generals who participated in this ambush were Li Jing and Xin Wenli.
After all, Xiong Kuohai had just surrendered, and due to personal reasons, he chose not to participate in this ambush.
It was probably noon, when the sun was at its hottest, when the sound of hurried horse hooves came from afar.
When he heard the sound of hooves, Cao Yun knew that Gao Tansheng had finally arrived with his army.
"Prepare to ambush."
He ordered in a low voice.
Xin Wenli and his sister lowered their bodies, and the Jiangdong Army, who were hiding on both sides of the road, also slowed down their breathing.
Everyone was prepared for an ambush.
"Hurry!"
Gao Tansheng, who was leading the army, kept giving orders. He was afraid that something would happen in Anlu Prefecture.
When he could see the outline of Anlu Prefecture, Gao Tansheng's ominous feeling grew stronger.
"Could it be that Anlu Prefecture has already been conquered?”
Seeing that there was no movement in Anlu Prefecture, Gao Tansheng finally became suspicious.
However, he had already entered Cao Yun's ambush zone.
Just as he was about to retreat, a blinding white light flashed around him.
It was noon, and the fierce sun shone on the sharp blade, reflecting such light.
Gao Tansheng also knew that there was an ambush here.
"Kill them!"
Seeing Gao Tansheng's panicked expression, Cao Yun immediately gave the order.
"Kill them!"
The Jiangdong Army roared angrily and charged out from their hiding places.
The bright red armor was especially dazzling under the sunlight. No matter how intense the sunlight was, it could still bring a chill to people.
"There's an ambush!"
Gao Tansheng exclaimed.
At this moment, he already understood that Anlu Prefecture had probably been taken down long ago.
Otherwise, there would not be any ambushes on this path.
The Jiangdong Army charged out. Although they had just experienced a great battle in Anlu Prefecture not long ago, they did not feel tired.
Ever since they followed Cao Yun and obtained consecutive victories, their hearts had already formed the belief of victory.
This boosted their morale, and they didn't know how to retreat in the face of any enemy.
On the other hand, the soldiers of Yi Yang Army were panicking because of the ambush, and the horses of the cavalrymen were also frightened.
Although the Jiangdong Army didn't have any cavalry, the pike infantry still had a certain degree of restraint against cavalry.
The long spear easily pierced into the belly of the warhorse.
The warhorses screamed in pain, and the Yi Yang Army soldiers fell off their horses.
Moreover, the warhorses were in pain, and before they died, their hooves trampled on the ground.
Therefore, many people fell off their horses and died under the trampling of the warhorses.
For a moment, people's screams rose and fell, and the thick smell of blood quickly spread out. Gao Tansheng was also scared out of his wits by the ferocity of the Jiangdong Army.
He saw that his soldiers were in chaos. Many of them either put down their weapons and surrendered or turned around and fled in all directions like frightened birds.
Gao Tan had the intention to retreat, so he looked around.
After finding a small path with fewer people, he prepared to escape quickly.
"Where are you running to?"
With a loud shout, Xin Wenli, who was riding on a golden camel, charged toward Gao Tansheng.
Although Gao Tansheng was a leader, he wasn't like Cao Yun, who was skilled in both literature and martial arts.
In terms of martial strength, he was not Xin Wenli's match at all.
Gao Tansheng pulled out his sword to fight back, but in less than four rounds, Xin Wenli knocked away his sword.
"Damn it!"
Gao Tansheng cursed. He kicked the horse's belly and wanted to escape quickly.
Just as he was about to turn around and flee, Xin Wenli suddenly threw the Iron Square Spear in his hand.
The Iron Square Spear drew a beautiful arc and pierced into Gao Tansheng's heart accurately.
When facing an enemy general, Cao Yun's first solution was to kill him, so Xin Wenli naturally wouldn't show mercy.
Gao Tansheng's consciousness quickly passed away when he felt his heart suddenly beat faster.
He turned back to look at Xin Wenli. As the image rotated, his life appeared like a lantern.
If he had known that this would happen, he would have stayed far away from the Huai River when he dominated the Jiangdong Army.
Perhaps he could escape this life and death tribulation.
Rumble!
Gao Tansheng's body slammed into the ground, and the surroundings fell into a long silence.
Since Gao Tansheng was dead, the remaining Yiyang Army could only surrender.
With Gao Tansheng's death, Anlu Prefecture and Yiyang Army behind Huai River became Cao Yun's territory. The threat in the rear was resolved.
After entering the relevant county city, Cao Yun also gave the order to clean up the battlefield and open the granary to provide relief to the people.
Apart from these things, he also announced the reward farming policy.
When the local people learned of the relevant policies, they were stunned for a moment before they exclaimed in disbelief.
This was a policy that was completely beneficial to the people. Therefore, while Cao Yun was in charge of the two counties, he also obtained the basic hearts and minds of the people in the two counties.
"We won very easily this time. Next, it's time to make a move on Li Zitong.”
Cao Yun stood on the city wall and looked at the setting sun as he muttered to himself.
The setting sun was as red as blood, as if it was a sign of something.
