Invincible Three Kingdoms System

Chapter 378 Killing Qiaorui
Linquan County is a small county town in Runan. Five miles away from the county town, there is an earthen mountain called Damo Mountain.

Damo Mountain is not high, but the forest is dense, and the situation in the mountain cannot be seen from the outside.

At this time, there was a team in Damo Mountain, and they set up camp here. If there were not scouts and messengers going to and from the mountain and outside the mountain from time to time, no one would have noticed that there were people in the mountain.

However, there were not many people in Linquan County at this time, so even those scouts and messengers who came in and out were not noticed.

Da da da.

A rush of horseshoes sounded on the mountain road, and a soldier straddled his horse and ran towards the mountain.

After passing a few mountains and forests, the field of vision began to widen. In a valley, there was a large camp.

Around the big camp, there were teams of sergeants patrolling, not letting anyone take advantage of it, and guarding a big camp tightly.

When the sergeant on horseback was about to approach the camp, he took out a token from his pocket with the word "Xun" engraved on it. After seeing it, the patrolling troops gave way one after another and put it into the camp.

The sergeant who entered the camp didn't stay long, and went directly to the big tent of the Chinese army. After arriving at the big tent of the Chinese army, he flew off his horse and shouted loudly before entering: "Military situation in Runan!"

Handing the fast horse to the sergeant next to the tent, the sergeant opened the curtain and walked in.

There were two generals sitting in the big tent, and several side generals and lieutenant generals stood on both sides. The sergeant clasped his fists and said: "Runan has detected the enemy's situation, and Qiao Rui led the army out of the city."

The two sitting generals frowned after hearing this, and after looking at each other, one of them asked, "Did Qiao Rui find out about our army and come to conquer?"

The sergeant clasped his fists and replied, "Reporting to General Xu, that's not the case. Qiao Rui led the army straight to Shangcai. It should be to rescue Chen Ji, not to find any traces of our army."

The general next to him then asked, "How many soldiers and horses did Qiao Rui bring?"

"Reporting to General Taishi, Qiao Rui led a total of [-] troops, leaving [-] to guard Runan." The sergeant replied.

The two sitting generals were exactly Xu Chu and Tai Shici, who had come to intercept Qiao Rui's rescue under Zhao Qian's order.

"Sure enough, as my lord expected, Qiao Rui couldn't sit still." Tai Shici said with a smile.

Xu Chu stretched his neck and said, "Finally it's our turn to act. There hasn't been a big fight for so many days, so my body is almost rusted."

"Zhongkang, do you have any countermeasures?" Tai Shici asked.

Xu Chu thought for a while and said, "Qiao Rui only brought 5 soldiers and horses, but we have [-] men under our command. How about dividing the troops into two groups, attacking both front and back, and catching him off guard?"

After hearing this, Tai Shici nodded and said, "That's exactly what I mean!"

Therefore, the two discussed and decided to divide the soldiers and horses into two, each leading 5000 people, and divided the troops into two groups to intercept Qiaorui's reinforcements.

The task of Xu Chu and Tai Shici was to prevent Runan's reinforcements from reaching Shangcai. They were worried that Qiao Rui would come out in full force, and they would be under pressure from an army of [-].

Who knows, Qiao Rui is still more cautious, leaving 6 people to guard Runan, and he only brought 4 people to rescue.

Originally it was a good thing to be cautious, but this time, it gave Xu Chu and Tai Shi Ci the opportunity to take advantage of it. There are only 4 horses, and they are confident that they can eat it.

At this time, Qiao Rui's army had already passed Funan County and was resting. However, Qiao Rui did not relax at all, and always felt a little uneasy.

Soon, the uneasiness in his heart was confirmed. After a cannon rang not far away, a large group of people came rushing, and Qiao Rui only saw a big "Xu" embroidered on the general's flag.
