Chapter 428: The Beginning of the War (21)

Gao Ran watched Duan Ran's long lance attack, and a disdainful smile rose on the corner of his mouth. With such strength, it can deal with some unpopular generals, but it is not enough in front of him.

"Drink!"

When Duan Ran's lance approached a foot in front of him, Gao Ran raised the spear in his hand and shot it out again and again, but it brought bursts of whistling sounds, which can be seen from this point that Gao Ran's marksmanship is still good. As Gao Lan's opponent, Duan Ran's feeling was the most obvious.

When Gao Ran's spear touched his lance with its first blow, Duan Ran found that his attack with all his strength was blocked. Then, Duan Ran felt a slight tingling pain in his wrist, as if he had been bitten by a mosquito four times. Immediately afterwards, Duan Ran was horrified to find that his right hand holding the lance was completely paralyzed, and he couldn't use the slightest strength. Duan Ran only realized at this time that the feeling of being bitten by mosquitoes just now was because the attack speed of Gao Lan's spear was too fast, and he didn't feel anything in a short period of time. And over time, the discomfort gradually revealed.

"It's so strong!"

Duan Ran gritted his teeth, sighed in a low voice, and looked at Gao Ran vigilantly. With that hand just now, Duan Ran knew the gap between himself and Gao Ran. However, as a general, a general who had fought against the alien races in the north all the year round, Duan Ran did not have the slightest fear or retreat even if he knew that the other party was stronger than himself.

"Humph!"

Gao Ran seemed to hear Duan Ran's exclamation, snorted coldly with disdain, and said proudly: "The general's plum blossom spear can't withstand it if it only uses the power of the seventh layer." An ant trying to shake a big tree (ridiculously overrating one's own strength). If you don't measure yourself, retreat quickly, I will spare your life!"

Originally. The marksmanship Gao Ran used just now was his stunt plum blossom gun.

The plum blossom gun is used, just like the plum blossom blooming, clear and beautiful. Plum blossoms have five petals, and plum blossom marksmanship is naturally attacked five times, five times in different directions. Of course, plum blossom marksmanship is not so simple, and today's Gao Ran has only practiced the first level of plum blossom marksmanship. That is, each plum blossom shoots a shot. The highest level of plum blossom marksmanship is to shoot out twenty-five shots, five shots per petal. But it makes people feel that the other party only used five shots, which is the strongest plum blossom marksmanship. Relatively speaking, the plum blossom marksmanship has been practiced to the highest level, but it can be compared to Zhao Yun's Hundred Birds and Chaofeng marksmanship. Although Zhao Yun's Hundred Birds and Phoenix marksmanship has the word phoenix. It seems that with the divine beast, it is more bullish. But. Everything in the world has its own characteristics, and no one knows who is more powerful until they reach the deepest depths. It is also normal that the highest level of plum blossom marksmanship can be equal to the highest realm of Hundred Birds Chaofeng marksmanship.

"Joke, this general has only died on the battlefield since the army, and there is no reason to retreat! Even if he dies, this general will never retreat!"

Duan Ran shouted angrily, but he had no intention of running away at all.

Gao Ran seems to have a way to live, but in fact, it has another purpose. On the battlefield. Fighting generals on both sides, able to kill enemy generals. It's normal to boost your morale. However, in comparison, it is even more frightening to scare the other party away with his own strength. If Gao Ran killed Duan Ran, the morale of Yuan Shao's side would naturally increase, but it would not necessarily hit the morale of Gongsun Zhan's army. However, if Duan Ran was scared back, the soldiers on Gongsun Zhan's side would definitely be frightened, thinking that Gao Ran didn't attack, just one sentence could scare Duan Ran away, and Gao Ran's strength would inevitably leave a shadow in the hearts of Gongsun Zhan's soldiers.

However, what made Gao Lanxinzhong dissatisfied was that Duan Ran had no intention of running away.

"Since you are looking for death, it will be fulfilled for you!"

Gao Ran shouted angrily, but the momentum on his body was stronger than before. Duan Ran was shocked to find out that Gao Ran hadn't used all his strength just now. Even so, Duan Ran still had no idea of escaping, and with a resolute look, he waved his long lance and rushed towards Gao Ran. Even if he died, he would not fall into the prestige of Lord Gongsun.

"Kill!"

Duan Ran roared angrily, and the long lance stabbed towards Gao Ran fiercely with the momentum of advancing and retreating. Looking at the momentum of this blow, it seems that if a mountain is in front of you, it will be crushed by Duan Ran. And Gao Ran, on the other side, saw Duan Ran's blow, his expression also showed a little solemnity, of course, it was only a little. Duan Ran's blow was indeed a bit unexpected by Gao Ran, but could this shot attack Gao Ran?

"Die!"

Gao Ran suddenly burst out, and the spear in his hand poked out like a spiritual snake, and then, Duan Ran's eyes on the opposite side suddenly widened, and then, I saw that Duan Ran's pupils gradually began to dilate. In the end, with a look of unwillingness in his eyes, Duan Ran's corpse slowly fell from the war horse.

Duan Ran's lance was longer than Gao Ran's spear, and when Gao Ran attacked, he didn't urge the war horse to move forward. It stands to reason that Duan Ran will attack Gao Ran first, but just now, Duan Ran's long lance is still a few inches away from Gao Ran, which is a bit unreasonable, what is the reason?

Pull the camera to Gao Ran's body again, only to see that Gao Ran is still in an attacking posture, if you notice Gao Ran's right hand, it is surprising to find that Gao Ran's palm actually holds the tail of the spear. Usually, when ordinary people use weapons, they will seize the position of three-quarters of the weapon, whether it is a long weapon or a short weapon, the same reason. And if the weapon is held in the tail, according to the principle of the fulcrum, more force will be used, which is usually not done by anyone. Moreover, grabbing the tail of the weapon may cause the attack to deviate from the original target, which can be fatal on the battlefield. However, Gao Ran did this, and easily killed Duan Ran. It can be seen that Gao Ran is not a chance but can really do it, obviously, it is not unreasonable for Gao Ran to become the fourth court pillar of Hebei.

"General Gao is mighty!"

"General Gao is domineering!"

"General Gao is invincible in the world!"

With Gao Ran's easy victory, the soldiers on Yuan Shao's side immediately cheered loudly, shouting everything. Obviously, Gao Lan's strength has been recognized by the soldiers under Yuan Shao's command.

"Humph!"

Some people are happy and some people don't, but what they don't like is not the people on Gongsun Zhan's side, but the people on Yuan Shao's side. but they were seen in front of a certain detachment. Wen Chou snorted disdainfully, and even Gao Yan dared to call the world invincible, which was simply ridiculous. If it is exchanged for the cost in the future. It's easier than looking at it from above. Similarly, at the front of the other army, Yan Liang thought the same. On the side of the four courtyard pillars in Hebei, only Zhang He cheered for Gao Ran. Zhang He and Gao Ran joined Yuan Shao's command later, not as early as Wen Chou and Yan Liang, so although the strength of the two of them is also very strong. But they were not valued by Wen Chou and Yan Liang, but despised them extremely much. In this regard, Zhang He and Gao Ran are not clay figures. Naturally, there will be dissatisfaction in the heart. It's just that they know that their qualifications are shallow, and it's not easy to compete with Wen Chou and Yan Liang. Therefore, they were angry at Wen Chou and Yan Liang's contempt. But it didn't show it. This time attack Youzhou. Zhang He and Gao Ran had the idea of showing their strength, letting Wen Chou and Yan Liang know that Yuan Shao was not the only one under his command. And now that Gao Ran has shown his strength and has been cheered and recognized by the soldiers, it will be time for him to show his strength.

Although his own general was killed, Gongsun Zhan's side was surprisingly not depressed. There is only a hint of sadness. Although Duan Ran died in battle, he would rather die in battle than retreat. But it greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers on Gongsun Zhan's side.

"We will fight Yuan Shao to the death, and we will never retreat!"

"That's right, never retreat, let the thieves who invade our territory know that our Youzhou soldiers are not easy to bully!"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Therefore, outside the city of Ancheng, Gongsun Zhan's soldiers suddenly shouted, looking at this momentum, they rushed straight into the nine skies, but it was no better than the morale of the soldiers on Gao Ran's side who killed Duan and then Yuan Shao. Unexpectedly, Gao Ran's killing of Duan Ran not only failed to hit the morale of Gongsun Zhan's side, but instead made Gongsun Zhan's soldiers rise to the momentum of hatred and hatred.

Gao Ran frowned, and secretly said in his heart that this was not the result he wanted. If you fight Gongsun Chan like this, maybe your own side will be suppressed. So, after thinking about it for a while, Gao Ran had an idea.

I saw Gao Ran raise his spear, pointed in the direction of Gongsun Zhan, and suddenly shouted: "Gongsun Zhan Xiaoer, it is possible that there is no one available in your Youzhou, but someone dares to fight with this general!"

Gongsun Zhan frowned slightly, but he was secretly thinking in his heart.

Gao Ran's fame also knows that one of the four court pillars in Hebei is naturally undoubted. Gongsun Chan also knew that on his side, no one could fight with the other party except himself. If you send generals to fight Gao Ran again, you will obviously be sent to death. In this case, the morale that has been raised so hard may fall because of this. In that case, it seems that he is the only one who fights.

Gongsun Zhan, as the coach, is still a assassin, if he fights, wouldn't he surrender his identity. Of course, the veterans of Youzhou don't think so. Gongsun Chan has been fighting with foreign races in the north all the year round, and he has always been the first to charge forward. Whenever there are strong generals of different races, Gongsun Chan also fights more with the other party, and after killing the opponent's general, he first opens the way with the white horse Yicong, and then the army presses up, crushing the opponent all the way. This is also the reason why Gongsun Zhan's prestige is extremely loud among the northern aliens, and it is all based on Gongsun Zhan's own hard work.

After thinking about the decision, Gongsun Chan ordered his cronies to retreat, and he rushed out with a long lance on his horse.

"Lord Thorn has finally made a move, how long has it been since I've seen Lord Thorn Shi do it. This time, the other party will definitely lose!"

"That thief was so rampant just now, and now Lord Assassin Shi will make a move, see how long he can be rampant!"

"Lord Thorn Shi will win!"

With Gongsun Zhan's battle, the soldiers in Youzhou suddenly cheered. Gongsun Zhan's strength is extremely famous among the Youzhou soldiers, and Gongsun Zhan's strength is also recognized by the Youzhou soldiers.

"Hmph, Gongsun Chan Xiao'er, you are really no one in Youzhou, and you have fallen to the point where you want to fight in person. ”

Gao Ran snorted coldly, but he did not forget to take this opportunity to hit the morale of the soldiers in Youzhou. However, Gao Ran's intentions were destined to fail, and Gongsun Chan personally shot not once or twice, and the soldiers in Youzhou were used to it. Having a strong manager will only make them proud, not inferior.

"Haha, ridiculous remarks! Ben Hou is a Youzhou assassin, but he never feels that there is anything wrong with his actions. If you have the courage, let Yuan Benchu come out to fight with Benhou. ”

Gongsun Chan laughed out loud and retorted disdainfully.

Of course, in the face of Gongsun Zhan's words, Gao Ran did not answer. Whether Yuan Shao will fight or not is not something he can decide. And. Unlike Gongsun Zhan, who always charges in front of the battle, Yuan Shao will not take action in person. One of them is because Yuan Shao does not have such strength, and the other reason. Naturally, Yuan Shao thought that if a gentleman did not stand under the wall, he would not do such a thing. Unless it is really a matter of life and death, otherwise, Yuan Shao will never fight.

"Since Yuan Benchu didn't have the courage to fight, there is no need to say more. Let Ben Hou see what arrogant capital you have!"

Gongsun Zhan Lang snorted and didn't say anything. Dancing with a lance, he attacked Gaoran.

"Khooth!"

As Gongsun Zhan's lance and Gao Ran's spear collided together, a heavy, piercing metal crash sounded. Just by listening to the voice, you can see the power of this blow.

"Whew!"

After a blow. The war horses under the crotches of Gongsun Zan and Gao Ran took a step back at the same time. And after this blow, Gao Ran let out a low spit in his mouth, which only he could hear. It turned out that it was at the time of the collision just now. His wrist was slightly paralyzed. It's not that Gao Ran's strength is inferior to Gongsun Zhan. It's because Gao Ran doesn't pay much attention to Gongsun Zhan. In Gao Lan's heart, Gongsun Zhan, as the leader of a force, may have some strength, but it will not be too strong. Looking at all the forces in the world, it seems that there is no one person with strong strength. Today, Lu Bu has not yet taken a piece of territory, so naturally he is not among them. It was precisely because he didn't attach too much importance to Gongsun Zhan's strength that Gao Ran didn't go all out to deal with it just now. caused him to be shocked in the collision just now. And because of the collision of that blow just now. Gao Ran understands that Gongsun Zhan's strength may not be as good as him, but it is not much worse, at most it is only one line weaker than him. However, because of Gongsun Zhan's rich combat experience, it also made up for this gap.

Gao Ran, as one of the members of the Four Courtyard Pillars of Hebei, although he also participated in many battles. However, compared with Gongsun Zhan, who has been fighting with the alien races in the north for many years, his combat experience is still somewhat inferior.

"Good!"

Thinking of this, Gao Ran no longer despised Gongsun Zhan, praised it in his mouth, urged the war horse under his crotch, and raised his spear, but he was the first to attack.

"The strength is good, but how can Ben Hou be afraid of you!"

Gongsun Chan also praised it, and he also felt some emotion in his heart. Gao Ran is only one of the four court pillars in Hebei, but he has such a strong strength. Thinking about the fact that there are three other figures of this strength under Yuan Shao's command, on the other hand, he has been Gongsun Chan for so many years, but he has not gotten such a strong general, which is really a little sad. Thinking of this, Gongsun Chan thought of Liu Bei and Yuan Chang in his heart.

Liu Bei Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are two sworn brothers, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's strength, Gongsun Zan naturally does not have the slightest doubt. There is also Yuan Chang, the Taishou of Bohai County, and Zhao Yun and Dian Wei under his command are not weaker than Liu Bei. I think that when he was crusading against Dong Zhuo in the Tiger Prison Pass, Liu Bei was just a small role sitting at the bottom of the seat, and he was already a prince. and Yuan Chang, who was just a humble person at that time, just a flattering villain in the eyes of everyone. However, it is such a villain, but now he is sitting on a county territory, with fierce generals like Zhao Yun and Dian Wei under his command, and now he has 50,000 soldiers and horses to attack his Youzhou. Gongsun Chan really couldn't understand how Yuan Chang managed to do this, and rise into such a powerful force in such a short period of time. Of course, if Gongsun Zan knew that Yuan Chang still rarely showed his strength in front of people, Ye Gucheng and Ximen Blowing Xue, who could be comparable to Zhao Yun and Dian Wei, as well as Tai Shici, who joined later. In addition, there are also Lu Xiaofeng, Hua Manlou, Sikong Picking Stars, as well as Duan Tianya, Guihai Yidao, and Cheng Shifei and others who went to the Quartet to exercise, I'm afraid that Gongsun Chan will be even more shocked!

"Knock, knock, knock!"

"Kow, knot, knot!"

"Qiang, Qiang, Qiang!"

Gongsun Chan and Gao Ran both fully exerted their strength without the slightest reservation. They all know the strength of each other, and there is no need to keep it. This is a battlefield fight, not a competition in the ring, if you are not careful, you will have to worry about your life, and no one is stupid to retain any strength. Under the confrontation between the two of them, who fully demonstrated their strength, they hit the sky with momentum, and the earth shook. The soldiers on both sides are also desperately beating the war drums to encourage their own commanders or generals. Gao Ran's strength is a little stronger, and Gongsun Chan has rich combat experience, but in this way, the two are inseparable from each other, making it impossible to tell which one is stronger and which is weaker. After hundreds of rounds of fighting, the two were still desperately entangled.

"Drink!"

"Kill!"

Gongsun Chan and Gao Ran each roared angrily and rushed forward again. After this half-day battle, both of them were a little out of breath. However, no one showed it. I don't want to lose to the other party in momentum. If the momentum is weakened, it will be suppressed by the other party, and an oversight may completely fall.

"Khooth!"

"Herod!"

The sound of the weapons clashing between the two sides was still as full of battle intent as it was at the beginning, but if you were a strong person, you could see that although the attacks of both sides were still so imposing. However. Compared to the beginning, it was already a little weak. If it weren't for the two of them, I'm afraid they wouldn't even have the strength to raise their weapons. Everyone present. Only Wen Chou, Yan Liang and Zhang He can see the slight gap, and other than that, no one can see it. Ordinary soldiers watched the battle between the two, but their eyes widened. A drunken expression. I'm afraid I'll miss the details.

However, after this collision, the war horses under the two crotches screamed and retreated again and again. Then, as if there was a tacit understanding, the war horses under the crotches of the two fell to the ground at the same time, foaming at the mouth, and could no longer stand up. I didn't expect to be under such a strong offensive by the two. The war horses of the two were already the first to hold on.

Gongsun Zhan, as the assassin of Youzhou, is also a general who has been fighting against foreign races in the north all the year round. The war horse under his crotch is naturally a BMW, and Gao Ran is one of the four court pillars in Hebei, a famous general, and the war horse is naturally not bad, but the war horse of the two still can't support it. At the beginning of the Tiger Prison Pass, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei besieged Lu Bu and fought hundreds of rounds, and the battle was more fierce than Gongsun Zan and Gao Lan. Under Lu Bu's crotch is a red rabbit horse, the best among the horses, and he did not fall in the fierce battle, which is also reasonable. However, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's war horses could not be compared with the Red Rabbit Horse, so why did they not fall? Could it be that the battle power of Gongsun Zan and Gao Ran had surpassed the battle between Lu Bu and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei?

Of course, this is impossible, and the reason why such a thing happened is because of the consumption of war horses.

When a military general is a first-class general, he has more detailed control over the war horse. As a general, a war horse plays an extremely important role, even if it is a peerless horse, if it is not well cared for, it will not live for long. And how to carefully control the consumption of war horses is extremely important.

When a military general and a war horse get along for a long time, people and horses seem to be connected, and they can be to the point of becoming one. The military general can feel the meaning of the war horse, and the war horse can also feel the thoughts of the military general. If you stumble on the battlefield, it can be a very fatal thing. Therefore, when they were in the Tiger Prison Pass, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei fought with Lu Bu, and they were extremely careful to control the consumption of the war horses, so as not to let the war horses wear too much, so as not to have accidents. Even if the Red Rabbit Horse is a peerless BMW, what can it do in front of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei? If it weren't for Lu Bu's control, I'm afraid it would have fallen long ago. And Gongsun Chan and Gao Ran are of equal strength, and they have fully exerted their strength, and it is impossible to defeat each other without other means. And at this time, the war horse under their crotch has become a means for them.

The strength of the two can no longer determine the outcome of the battle, and at this time, it is necessary to borrow the power of the war horse. Therefore, when Gongsun Chan and Gao Ran were fighting, they also brought the ability of the war horse under their crotch to the extreme, without wasting a single thing. Therefore, after a hundred rounds of battle between the two, the war horse could not bear to fall.

"Woo, woo, woo!"

Gongsun Chan and Gao Ran fell to the ground at the same time, and then a donkey rolled and stood up, looking at each other vigilantly. Even if there is no war horse, the two can still fight on foot. Now that the winner has not yet been decided, they have no intention of giving up the fight. However, at this moment, there was a clarion call for retreat from Yuan Shao's military camp. Obviously, Yuan Shao may have been worried about Gao Lan's loss, so he blew the horn. And Gongsun Zhan and Gao Ran relaxed their attention a little, but they were stunned at this look, they didn't expect that they had fought for so long, and the sky had already darkened.

Gongsun Chan is the coach, he is not there, naturally no one ordered to retreat.

"Today, you and I have lost our horses, and we will fight again tomorrow!"

Gongsun Zhan lifted his lance upside down, looked at Gao Ran and shouted. If you continue to fight, you won't be able to tell the winner, so in this case, it's better to pick another time to fight.

"A certain self is with you to the end!"

Gao Ran shouted, without the slightest hint of fear. The two agreed, and then slowly retreated vigilantly with their weapons, in addition to being vigilant against each other, they were also vigilant about whether someone in the opposing army had released hidden arrows. This kind of thing is not uncommon on the battlefield, and both of them are veterans, so they naturally understand this.

After the two retreated to their respective armies, they relaxed. After Yuan Shao's army retreated like a tide, Gongsun Zan also ordered the army to withdraw to the city. (To be continued......)
