"Report, my lord, the villain has an urgent military intelligence report!"

Yuan Shao was still asleep when he suddenly heard an urgent shout from outside the house. Yuan Shao suddenly became excited, turned up from the bed, approved a robe casually, opened the door and saw a soldier card outside with an anxious expression.

"What?"

Yuan Shao's thick eyebrows furrowed, his expression was not angry and arrogant, the soldier was glanced at by Yuan Shao, and his body couldn't help but tremble, Lord Assassin Shi was really majestic.

"My lord, the number of Gongsun Zhan's troops digging trenches and moats has increased to 3,000 people, and at the same time, they have also dug tunnels, and some of them have been connected. When the villain came to report, General Yan gathered the soldiers in the city and was about to go out of the city to stop Gongsun Zhan's army. Xin Sima ordered the villain to come and inform the adults, and asked them to go to the city to take charge. ”

When Yuan Shao heard this, his face suddenly changed.

This soldier didn't understand what Xin Bi meant, how could Yuan Shao not understand. Xin Biming said that he would let Yuan Shao go to the city to sit in the town, but in fact, he asked Yuan Shao to hide in the city to avoid being flooded. Yuan Shao didn't expect that Gongsun Chan really wanted to flood Yecheng, but he hated that he didn't take it too seriously, so that he was succeeded by Gongsun Chan. Although Yuan Shao still has a backhand, without the cooperation of his people, it is difficult for the backhand to do anything.

"Immediately send an order, the three armies assembled, go out of the city to fight a decisive battle with Gongsun Zhan, and absolutely prevent Gongsun Chan from flooding Ye City. ”

Yuan Shao almost roared out of the order, and when he finished the order, he hurried back to the house to put on armor and helmets. He didn't care about his appearance, so he hurriedly left his residence and hurried to the city.

"Rush!"

"Kill!"

"Kill Gongsun Zhan'er!"

Yuan Shaoshi in Yecheng was not afraid of death and charged towards Gongsun Zhan's army, as long as he was not a fool, he understood what would happen if Gongsun Chan was allowed to continue like this. Once the flood flooded Yecheng, Yecheng became a lamb that Gongsun Chan slaughtered at will. Many of the soldiers' families are in Yecheng, how could they hope that this kind of thing would happen? Therefore, now is the time to fight hard.

"Sword and shield soldiers, step forward!"

Gongsun Chan was wearing armor and holding a long lance, in the center of his own camp, next to him was a black-robed man, and the two of them were surrounded by hundreds of Gongsun Chan's personal soldiers at the moment, issuing orders in an orderly manner.

10,000 sword and shield soldiers lined up in a long line, the iron shield stood on the ground, the left hand was supported, and the right hand was holding the long knife, which could attack while defending. And after these 10,000 sword and shield soldiers, there are 20,000 pikemen, with sword and shield soldiers in front of the defense, and the pikemen only need to attack in the rear.

Yuan Shao did not have many cavalry under his command, a total of 10,000 cavalry, and Yuan Shao had not yet arrived at this time, Yan Liang could only order the sword and shield soldiers and pikemen to charge, and the archers fired a volley in the rear. He didn't dare to dispatch the cavalry, once the cavalry was dispatched, Gongsun Zhan's 5,000 white horse Yicong and another 10,000 cavalry would also be dispatched, Yan Liang knew that his own cavalry had no advantage. If he gave an order, once he made a mistake, the consequences would be very strict, and Yan Liang didn't dare to give an order, so he could only wait for Yuan Shao to arrive before deciding.

"Archer, shoot!"

Gongsun Chan and Yan Liang ordered at the same time that the archers on both sides were shooting arrows in the rear to suppress the archers of the other party. At the point of confrontation between the archers, Yuan Shao had the advantage.

Yuan Shao had an army of 100,000 and 30,000 archers, while Gongsun Zan and the black-robed people only had 20,000 archers, and most of the archers were selected from the Yellow Turbans of Qingzhou. Otherwise, Gongsun Chan and the black-robed archers would not even be 10,000.

Each round of 10,000 archers shot, Yuan Shao's 30,000 archers can take three rounds, while Gongsun Zhan's side can only take two rounds, after a few rounds of shooting, his arms are sore and numb, and the archers on Gongsun Zhan's side are obviously suppressed.

Seeing this, Gongsun Zhan frowned slightly, glanced at the black-robed man, nodded, and had a plan in his heart.

"The order was given, and three thousand cavalry attacked from the left and broke through the archer formation of Yuan Shaojun's army. ”

After Gongsun Zhan finished the order, a herald beside him raised the flag and danced, and the three thousand cavalry in the cavalry camp who were ready to go started at a faster and faster speed, rushing towards Yuan Shaofang's archer camp.

Yan Liang frowned, wondering if he would send cavalry to stop him. It would be too difficult for ordinary troops to stop the charging cavalry, and the damage would be very severe.

"Order, 2,000 cavalry intercept the other side. ”

Yan Liang was still struggling, but a clear voice sounded in his ears, and Yan Liang breathed a sigh of relief. It's good that the lord arrived, otherwise he really wouldn't know what to do.

"Wen Heng, you did a good job, you can stop Gongsun Zhan's attack. ”

For the two generals under his command, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, Yuan Shao is very fond of it. Therefore, after arriving, I couldn't help but praise Yan Liang.

"The last general does not dare to take credit, it is all the soldiers' lives. ”

Yan Liang was still self-aware, and responded humbly.

Yuan Shao didn't continue to say anything, now is on the battlefield, or pay attention to the battlefield is the right reason.

The 2,000 cavalry intercepted Gongsun Zhan's 3,000 cavalry, but it was also a success. Most of Gongsun Zhan's elite cavalry are in Baima Yicong, ordinary cavalry, and their combat power is average. If it is 3,000 white horses, it is estimated that 5,000 cavalry may not be able to stop it. In today's situation, Gongsun Chan will not dispatch the White Horse Yicong, and the White Horse Yicong will be retained, which is a deterrent, and at the same time, it can also rescue the whole audience.

Moreover, the key now is for Gongsun Chan to speed up the excavation of trenches and moats, so that they can be successfully connected to the tunnel. Once the heavy rain fell, the water of the Zhanghe River was lowered, Yuan Shao's army was flooded, and victory was completely in his hands.

Yuan Shao also understands this truth, and now it seems that he can't continue to retain his troops, and he must break through quickly.

"Order, mobilize 10,000 archers to shoot at the enemy's sword and shield soldiers, the sword and shield soldiers will charge me, and no one shall retreat. The law enforcement team stepped forward, but some of them cowered and did not forgive!"

It was already a life-threatening moment, Yuan Shao broke out decisively and no longer hesitated.

And after listening to Yuan Shao's order, 10,000 archers were drawn out and began to shoot Gongsun Zhan's sword and shield soldiers. Although there is a big shield defense, but 10,000 bows and arrows fall like raindrops, how can it be so easy to defend, a round of volleys, Gongsun Zhan's sword and shield soldiers fell a lot.

"Hmph, herald, three thousand cavalry charged the ten thousand archers from the right side. ”

When Gongsun Zhan saw Yuan Shao's soldiers' actions, he also knew that Yuan Shao was starting to be anxious. With a cold snort in his heart, he sent three thousand cavalry again.

"The order was given, and 2,000 cavalry were dispatched to intercept it. ”

Yuan Shao also sent 2,000 cavalry of his own side, Yuan Shao did not expect these 2,000 cavalry to be able to repel the opponent's 3,000 cavalry, and the purpose now was to drag the opponent's footsteps. Even if these thousands of cavalry are killed, as long as they can stop the other party, what they do will make sense. On the battlefield, once the war starts, there is no mercy, and if you are reluctant to pay the expensive cavalry, you will lose even more.

Yuan Shaojun may be worse than Cao Cao, but it is not nothing. It's just that under the light of Cao Cao's military talent, Yuan Shao's military talent is a little insufficient!

As for Gongsun Zhan, he has been fighting against foreign races all year round, and his command ability on the battlefield is beyond doubt.

"Order, the sword and shield soldiers move to both sides in the direction of my fingers, except for the white horse Yicong, the other cavalry are pressed on me, I want to see what other tricks Yuan Shao has. ”

As Gongsun Zhan's order was issued, Gongsun Zhan's sword and shield soldiers slowly moved to both sides, revealing a gap of nearly 100 meters in the middle. In addition to the other 4,000 cavalry of the White Horse Righteous Followers, they charged along this gap from the rear. This gap seemed to be the center of the battlefield, and once the four thousand cavalry were allowed to charge successfully, Yuan Shao's formation would be disrupted. Perhaps, if Yecheng is not flooded with water, this battle will be a victory for Gongsun Zhan.

Seeing this, Yuan Shao naturally understood this truth, and thought about whether to use his own back hand. However, Gongsun Chan still had 5,000 white horse followers, and if he used his back hand, how could he resist these 5,000 white horse followers? Therefore, Yuan Shao quickly made a decision.

"Order, the archers do not move, suppress the cavalry. Mobilize 4,000 cavalry and intercept the opposing side. ”

Yuan Shao had already sent four thousand cavalry out, and there were six thousand cavalry left. This battlefield was very important, and Yuan Shao did not dare to delay time with a small number of cavalry, so he had to mobilize the same number of cavalry to fight. Of course, Yuan Shao must have some cavalry left in reserve, and the mobility of the cavalry is the best on the battlefield and can support the whole field in time, so Yuan Shao must leave 2,000 cavalry.

Gongsun Chan saw that Yuan Shao was able to keep up with his rhythm in time, and secretly praised Yuan Shao's talent in his heart. is worthy of being born in the Yuan family, and cannot be underestimated.

In fact, Gongsun Zhan's main thing to do now is to open the line of defense, don't let Yuan Shao harass those digging soldiers, as long as the tunnels are connected with the trenches and moats, and the water of the Zhanghe River rushes down, Yuan Shao is not a turtle in the urn. In other words, if the water of the Zhanghe River rushes down, Gongsun Zhan's army will not be impacted?

No kidding, Gongsun Chan and the black-robed people did not attack the city for two days, but sent a large number of soldiers to block the Zhanghe River and build a raft at the same time. When the time was almost up, Gongsun Chan would give the order to retreat, and all the soldiers would get on the raft. The water of the Zhanghe River rushed down, and for Gongsun Zhan, it would not cause harm at all.

Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao attacked each other, just to see how Yuan Shao's command ability was, but now that he has seen it, he has no idea of continuing.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The earth-shattering sound sounded in the ears of the soldiers on both sides, and this sound was naturally not made by the cavalry, but the sound of thunder above the sky. As early as the beginning of the hour, the sky was already thundering, after half a day of fighting, it was already the hour, this time after the thunder sounded, the rain finally fell.

The raindrops began to grow from one drop or two at the beginning, and after a while, it finally became a torrential rain.

"Haha, Yuan Shao'er, you wait for death!"

Gongsun Chan was not only happy when he saw the heavy rain coming as scheduled, but also admired the clever calculation of the black-robed man. Naturally, Gongsun Zhan and the black-robed people will flood Yecheng with water, because the black-robed people calculated that there would be a rainstorm today, and now, the facts are in front of them, and the rainstorm has really appeared.

"Order, the whole army shrinks the front and retreats!"

The time has come, and Gongsun Chan did not waste time and gave the order decisively. After receiving Gongsun Zhan's order, the sword and shield soldiers and pikemen gathered, retracted the defensive line, and slowly withdrew to the rear of their own camp. At the same time, the archers, while shooting, also retreated to the rear.

Most of the trenches and trenches on the battlefield have been connected to the tunnels, and only some of them have not been connected, and Gongsun Chan doesn't care about it. Such heavy rain and the blocking of the Zhanghe River for a few days were enough to flood Yecheng, and Yuan Shao would definitely die.

Yuan Shao saw Gongsun Zhanjun's reaction, and also understood what was going on, and immediately yelled: "Follow up and drag them down." ”

Yuan Shao's thought was very simple, as long as Gongsun Zhan's soldiers were dragged down, Gongsun Chan would dare to release the water of the Zhanghe River? If Gongsun Chan really dared to do it, at most it would be a defeat for both sides, this is the boundary of Jizhou, and Yuan Shao's men and horses are much more than Gongsun Zhan.

The rain kept falling, and the battle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan was still going on, and the ground was already muddy, and if you accidentally slipped and fell, you would be killed by random guns. However, with the passage of time, Gongsun Zhan's army gradually approached his own camp, the camp was full of rafts, Gongsun Zhan's army no longer retreated, and stayed next to the raft, once the Zhanghe River washed down, Gongsun Zhan's soldiers immediately stepped on the raft, and when the time came, he took the raft to kill Yuan Shaojun, how could Yuan Shao have the power to return to heaven?

Yuan Shao's pupils suddenly shrank, and he had already foreseen how severe the consequences would be if he couldn't take the raft down. At that moment, Yuan Shao roared frantically: "Hurry up and attack, but there is a cower, and there is no forgiveness!"

Yuan Shao's soldiers also understood what was going on, and the attack was even more ferocious, even if they were stabbed or slashed by the opponent, they had to kill the enemy. Otherwise, it would not be an injury, but a lifeless, and in the same way, Gongsun Zhan's soldiers also understood what was going on, and naturally fought back fiercely. Now, they have only one goal, to take the raft and save their lives when the water of the Zhanghe River rushes down.

As for the cavalry, there is no need to worry, the water of the Zhanghe River rushes down, and no matter how it is, it is impossible to drown the war horses, so the battle of the cavalry is the only battlefield that can be fought without scruples.

"Is it okay, sir?"

Gongsun Chan turned his head and glanced at the black-robed man, and got a positive response from the other party, Gongsun Chan had a hideous look on his face, and gave a direct order to the herald beside him.

When the herald received the order, he immediately ran to a high platform, waved the flag in his hand, and gave the order to the soldiers who were on the Zhanghe River to break the river.

"Attack, attack, attack me!"

Yuan Shao roared wildly, it was only a blink of an eye for the Zhanghe River to rush down, and it was necessary to capture Gongsun Zhan's defense line and capture their raft. Otherwise, Yuan Shao's 100,000 army will be wasted, and his capital to fight for hegemony will no longer be there. Even if he could save his life, what else could he do without these forces?

"Rush it! Grab the raft!"

"Kill! Even if you die, you have to drag one!"

Yuan Shao's soldiers were red-eyed, and they all went crazy. In the face of life and death, they have no luck and must fight frantically. And Gongsun Zhan's soldiers are also crazy, as long as they wait a little longer, the victory will be theirs, and Yuan Shao's counterattack must not be successful.

In a short period of time, nearly 10,000 people fell on the battlefield, and everyone was desperate in the face of death. However, they died earlier because of this, but they had to do this in order to fight for a glimmer of hope of survival.

However, after fighting for nearly a stick of incense, the battlefield suddenly fell silent, and the soldiers on both sides subconsciously stopped fighting.

Because, everyone noticed that something was wrong.

If the water of the Zhanghe River is put down, not to mention the time of a stick of incense, it will not even take a tenth of the time of a stick of incense to rush to the battlefield, and the flood will spread, how fierce it is. However, the time has passed for a stick of incense, not only did the water not come, but not even the slightest momentum appeared.

Needless to say, something must have gone wrong.

"What's going on, who can sue me?"

Gongsun Zhan's eyes were red and he roared angrily. After preparing for many days, I thought that victory was in sight, but as a result, God hit him again, even if the person with good psychological qualities is afraid that he will not be able to stand such a change.

The black-robed man frowned, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he said in a low voice: "General Gongsun, because of the battle in the past few days, we seem to have forgotten the cavalry in Nanpi City. It seems that they have discovered our purpose, and I am afraid that they have already destroyed all our people, and now the plan to flood Yecheng is afraid that it will not be possible, I think that we should retreat for the sake of today!"

"Crunch!"

Gongsun Chan's fists were clenched tightly, and the bones in his whole body trembled because of this, and Gongsun Chan was really extremely angry at the moment. What was supposed to be a seamless thing was destroyed by the five thousand cavalry of Nanpi City. Gongsun Zhan's spies had already discovered the cavalry and sent Bai Ma Yicong to pursue it, but the other party fled, and when Bai Ma Yicong returned, the other party followed. Hang far away, but don't keep up. In the end, when this cavalry suddenly disappeared from view, Gongsun Chan didn't bother to pay attention. Unexpectedly, this cavalry appeared at the most critical moment and gave him a fatal blow.

"Hateful, I hate, Yuan Chang, I want you to die without a place to be buried!"

"Poof!"

Gongsun Chan roared wildly, his chest hurt, his blood surged, and a mouthful of red blood spurted out of Gongsun Chan's mouth, and Gongsun Chan did not suppress it.

After the anger, Gongsun Chan calmed down, and it seemed that he didn't care anymore.

"Order, retreat!"

Gongsun Chan said lightly, and then, under the escort of his own soldiers, he turned around and prepared to evacuate. This Jizhou War has been lost, and Gongsun Chan has no other thoughts.

The black-robed man looked at Gongsun Zhan's figure, his face cloudy.

Gongsun Chan was extremely angry, but he suddenly became so calm. The black-robed man knew that Gongsun Chan had undergone a transformation, and his personality would change greatly, and the black-robed man didn't know how it had changed. The former Gongsun Zhan, the black-robed man can still control it. However, now Gongsun Zhan, the black-robed man knows that he has no ability to control it. Even the order just now, Gongsun Chan said it so calmly, calm to indifferent, indifferent to chilling.

"If you want to run, leave it all for me!"

Yuan Shao's eyes flashed fiercely, although Yuan Shao didn't know why Gongsun Zhan's plan to flood had failed. However, Yuan Shao knew that now was not the time to think about that, and the next thing was for him to fight back. Signal the herald next to him to give orders, and the back hand can also be used. Even if you can't completely destroy Gongsun Zhan's men and horses, you must let Gongsun Chan leave seven or eight out of ten troops.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The sound of cavalry charging came from two directions, and Yuan Shao was stunned, how could there be cavalry in two directions. At that moment, Yuan Shao looked in two directions in confusion.
