"Ladies and gentlemen, Yuan Shao is inviting a battle outside the city, how do you think this Hou should deal with it?"

Gongsun Zhan unfolded the challenge book that Yuan Shao shot into the city, and then passed it on to the civil and military forces under his command. After all the subordinates had seen it, Gongsun Chan asked indifferently.

When Gongsun Zhan's words fell, a mighty general wearing armor walked out, saluted Gongsun Zhan at the top, and then said loudly: "My lord, the last general thinks that he can fight! Yuan Shao invited our army out of the city for a decisive battle for no reason, and there must be a conspiracy track. However, the Admiral believes that in the face of absolute strength, any intrigue is useless. Moreover, the lord's cavalry is 50,000, and it is easy to deal with Yuan Shao. ”

But he said that the person who spoke was a general under Gongsun Zhan, and he was also Gongsun Ran, the righteous son of Gongsun Zhan. In addition, Gongsun Ran also has an identity, that is, the deputy commander of Baima Yicong. As for the orthodox leader, there is no doubt that Gongsun Chan will not hand over Bai Ma Yi from such an elite cavalry to others, even if it is his son Gongsun Xu. However, Gongsun Ran, the righteous son, is able to become the deputy commander of the White Horse Yicong, which shows Gongsun Zhan's trust in Gongsun Ran. Of course, some people have privately heard that this Gongsun Ran is actually the illegitimate son of Gongsun Zhan, so Gongsun Chan trusts the other party so much.

"What Pingyi said is very true, and Ben Hou also thinks the same!"

From the words given to the two of them, it can be seen that Gongsun Chan once had an attitude towards pacifying the alien races in the north. However, when attacking Jizhou the previous time, Gongsun Chan lost one after another. As a result, his heart changed greatly, and his mind about pacifying the alien races in the north was much lighter, and he wanted to chase the Central Plains. Become the overlord of the world. When the time comes, he will also be able to exterminate the alien race. However, Gongsun Chan's focus has changed. In the past, the primary task was to pacify the alien races, but now it is the primary task of chasing the Central Plains. I don't know if it's good or bad.

After listening to Gongsun Zhan's suggestion that Gongsun Ran go out of the city for a decisive battle, a middle-aged and elegant scribe stood up as soon as the civil officials lined up. If you look at this person's face carefully, it is a long history with Gongsun Zhan. Now Guan Jing, who follows Gongsun Xu as the supervisor of the army, is somewhat similar. And this person does have a relationship with Guan Jing, and he is Guan Jing's younger brother.

"Lord, this must not be done!"

Guan Li snorted. Hurriedly dissuaded: "Yuan Shao, a thief, has always been scheming, and when the lord attacked Jizhou before, it was because of Yuan Shao's treacherous tricks that he was defeated. Now that Yuan Shao is so openly inviting to fight, it is obvious that he has a treacherous plan. Why did the lord still obey Yuan Shao's wishes? The lord only needed to rely on the advantage of the city. Slowly consume with Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao sent troops from Jizhou, the transportation of grain and grass is difficult, once there is a difference, there will be a great chaos in the army, the lord can take this opportunity to fight, and I hope the lord will think twice!"

Guan Li is Guan Jing's younger brother, and he still has a little resourcefulness, as long as he is not a fool, he knows that there is a city to use. Where would he be like Gongsun Zhan, stupidly going out of the city to fight the enemy. Even if he was able to defeat Yuan Shao, Gongsun Chan would suffer heavy losses, how could Gongsun Chan agree to such an unwise suggestion? Guan Li really couldn't figure it out.

Listening to Guan Li's words, Gongsun Zhan's face suddenly changed, and there were faint signs of anger.

If Guan Li is a normal persuasion, even if Gongsun Chan will not listen, he will give the other party a good face. However, Guan Li didn't mention which pot to open, and the defeat of the attack on Jizhou has always been a pain in Gongsun Zhan's heart. Gongsun Chan can still accept the loss of troops, but when he attacked Nanpi City, how humiliated he was by Yuan Chang, Gongsun Chan has always remembered it. Originally, if Guan Li hadn't mentioned it, Gongsun Chan had already buried this humiliating memory in the depths of his heart and didn't want to touch this wound. However, Guan Li mentioned it, and the memories of the past suddenly came to mind.

"Bang!"

Gongsun Zhan slapped the table violently, glanced at Guan Li coldly, and said in a cold voice: "Yuan Shao invites to fight, if Benhou doesn't fight, wouldn't it make the world think that Benhou is afraid of Yuan Shao'er." Yuan Shao'er succeeded in his treacherous tricks before, and today, Ben Hou wants to let Yuan Shao'er know how powerful my Youzhou soldiers are. Needless to say, my Youzhou soldiers are not greedy for life and afraid of death!"

"The generals listened to the order, gathered all the armies, and went out of the city with Benhou to meet Yuan Shao'er!"

"The last general will obey the order!"

When the generals saw Gongsun Zhan angry, they immediately responded in unison. Even if some generals thought that it was an unwise choice to go out of the city to fight, but under the momentum of Gongsun Zhan, no one dared to stand up against it. Guan Li saw Gongsun Zhan like this, and knew that his persuasion was useless, so he sighed in his heart. If the elder brother was here, he might be able to persuade the lord, but unfortunately Guan Jing was not here, so he could only let Gongsun Zan decide.

"Squeak!"

The gate of Gu'an City slowly opened, and when the city gate was completely opened, the soldiers of Gongsun Chan in Gu'an City lined up in formation and slowly walked out of the city.

First of all, there are teams of pikemen in front of the way, and the pikemen in front of the way, and there is a reason for him. If the enemy attacks while the army is out of the city, the attack is usually carried out by cavalry, because the cavalry is fast enough to achieve its goal in a very short time. However, when pikemen and cavalrymen fought at the same time, pikemen were often the nemesis of cavalry, and no one could say why there was such a rule, and it has been the case since ancient times. In fact, it is easy to understand when you think about it, the pikemen's weapons are medium and long-range weapons, the cavalry charges over, the pikemen only need to point the spear at the opponent, if the cavalry rushes straight over like this, it seems that the cavalry itself crashes into the spear. Of course, this is under normal circumstances, and if it is an elite cavalry, it will naturally not abide by such a law. Just like Gongsun Zhan's white horse and Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry, if they were easily restrained by pikemen, they would not be able to become famous elite cavalry in history.

After the pikemen, there are all sword and shield soldiers. The sword and shield soldiers are said to be sword and shield soldiers, but they are actually more inclined to shield soldiers. Each sword and shield soldier held a huge shield more than a man high. When the two armies fought, the sword and shield soldiers put the huge shield in front of them, and then the long knives looked for an opportunity to attack, which was nothing special. Therefore, pikemen and sword and shield soldiers are basically the most common configurations in the army. Any soldier who enlists in the army can become a pikeman or a sword and shield soldier.

"Boom!"

When the sword and shield soldiers were out of the city, there was a neat roar from the city gate, and it was known to all the soldiers without looking. What other types of troops can make such a noise than cavalry. The largest number of troops under Gongsun Chan is cavalry, and with the white horse Yicong, Gongsun Chan has 50,000 cavalry under his command. This number alone can definitely shock many forces in the Central Plains, such a huge number of cavalry troops. It's really not something they can understand.

When the archers followed the cavalry out of the city, the last thing that appeared in front of them was a white horse and silver armor. Looking at this posture, you can know that this is the most elite cavalry class under Gongsun Zhan. And Gongsun Chan was guarded in the center of the White Horse Yicong, and if he wanted to break through the defense of the White Horse Yicong and attack in front of Gongsun Chan, it seemed that there were really few forces in the world that could do it.

"Yuan Shao is a traitor. Ben Hou went out of the city for a decisive battle. It can be seen that our army is strong or not!"

Gongsun Zhan raised the lance in his hand, pointed at Yuan Shao, who was guarding in the center on the opposite side, and shouted loudly. Gongsun Zhan said this sentence to tell Yuan Shao, to tell the people of the world, in a head-on battle, he was not afraid of Yuan Shao at all.

"Haha, you are strong, isn't our army weaker than you!"

Yuan Shao laughed. Pointing to his own soldiers, he also responded to Gongsun Zhan not to be outdone.

"Good. In the end, you and I don't need to say much about whose soldiers are strong, we will know after the battle. ”

"War, war, war!"

With Gongsun Zhan's words, Gongsun Zhan's soldiers shouted loudly at the same time, and the momentum was earth-shattering, crying ghosts and gods, which made people's hearts shocked.

"If you want to fight, I will fight, I am not afraid of you!"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

The soldiers on Yuan Shao's side were also not to be outdone, and also shouted in response to Gongsun Zhan's provocation. The soldiers on both sides are full of fighting spirit, and it seems that a fierce battle is inevitable.

The corners of Yuan Shao's mouth opened, and he shouted at Gongsun Zhan: "Gongsun Bogui, you and I are all high-spirited. But before the soldiers fight, you dare to fight me!"

The so-called fighting generals are naturally military generals heads-up.

Listening to Yuan Shao's words, Gongsun Zhan's brows furrowed unconsciously. The strength of the generals under his command is low, and there is no strong fierce general Gongsun Zhan's shortcomings, and Gongsun Chan himself knows it. Let's just say that among the forces of Gongsun Chan, in terms of personal strength, it is the big boss of Gongsun Chan who is the strongest. At the time of the Tiger Prison, Gongsun Chan was able to fight with Lu Bu for ten rounds, and then escaped, although he was finally rescued by the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang, but Gongsun Zhan's strength is beyond doubt. Usually, the generals who can fight with Lu Bu for hundreds of rounds are all top generals, such as Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, etc.; secondly, those who can fight with Lu Bu within 50 rounds to 100 rounds are between top generals and first-class generals, of course, this level is also strong and weak. Just like Zhang Liao, it is between the top generals and the first-class generals, and Yan Liang and Wen Chou under Yuan Shao are also the same as Zhang Liao, in between. However, Zhang Liao's strength is obviously higher than that of Yan Liang and Wen Chou, as for whether this is the case, it can be seen according to the records in the romance.

Zhang Liao and Guan Yu fought, and the two sides stopped for about a hundred rounds, although the record does not say it explicitly. However, as long as there is an in-depth study, they can find that Guan Yu is definitely stronger than Zhang Liao. And Yan Liang and Wen Chou fought against Guan Yu, but they would be killed by Guan Yu, Zhang Liao was stronger than Yan Liang and Wen Chou, so there is no need to say more.

Gongsun Chan was able to hold out for ten rounds under Lu Bu, at least a first-class general. However, in the level of first-class generals, Gongsun Chan is obviously at the bottom. Gongsun Zhan's strongest is also the strength of a first-class general, and the people under his command are naturally weaker. If it is according to the pace of history, Gongsun Chan has Zhao Yun as a fierce general, but unfortunately Zhao Yunmingzhu secretly invested and did not get the attention of Gongsun Zhan, which is equivalent to Gongsun Chan still has no fierce general.

Now that Yuan Shao is proposing to fight, he is obviously confident in the strength of the fierce generals under his command.

Yuan Shao wanted to attack Youzhou, and Gongsun Zhan, as his opponent, could not have sent a detailed envoy to investigate Yuan Shao's military situation? Therefore, Gongsun Chan also knew that Yuan Shao had four fierce generals under his command, known as the "Four Pillars of Hebei"! Just listening to this title seemed to be quite a bull's wrench, and if he chose to fight with Yuan Shao, would it be beneficial?

The answer is obvious, Gongsun Chan has no advantage. It's just that Yuan Shao said it in front of hundreds of thousands of people on both sides, if Gongsun Chan refused. Isn't it proven that he is incompetent and afraid of Yuan Shao. If this news is allowed to spread, it will inevitably greatly reduce Gongsun Zhan's prestige in Youzhou. So look at it at any point. Gongsun Chan will be unwise.

"Since you have this thought, Ben Hou will fulfill you!"

Although none of the generals under his command can compete with the strength of the opponent's fierce generals, Gongsun Chan is also a guy who is not afraid of challenges. Therefore, after seeing the strength shown by the other party, Gongsun Chan still did not flinch and continued to choose to fight with Yuan Shao. Gongsun Chan has such a resolute determination. To be able to become a hegemon,

"Who's going to fight!"

When Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan made up their minds to fight generals, they turned around and shouted to the generals under their command at the same time. Compared with Yuan Shao. The generals under Gongsun Chan were a little unbearable. When Yuan Shao finished shouting, a small general immediately rushed towards Gongsun Zhan's camp and stopped twenty meters in front of Gongsun Zhan's camp. There was a proud smile on the corner of his mouth. Then he looked at Gongsun Zhan. The thumb in his hand was raised, and then reversed in a circle, the fingertips of the thumbs were towards the ground, obviously, the young generals in Yuan Shao's formation looked down on Gongsun Zhan's subordinates, and openly provoked Gongsun Zhan's generals.

The other party is so rampant and provocative, Gongsun Zhan will naturally come down or engage in it.

"Kill!"

Behind Gongsun Chan, a general at the level of a lieutenant heard only Gongsun Chan's words. Suddenly he lost his character. The pat horse rushed out of the ranks, and at the same time let out a loud shout.

"I am Duan Ran, the commander of Gongsun Thorn Shi. Come and get a name, and my subordinates won't kill nobodies!"

The generals under Yuan Shao's command were so rampant, Duan Ran naturally saw it in his eyes, and thought in his heart about teaching the right oh a lesson. So, Duan Ran used the time when he usually got up because of this. The generals under Yuan Shao's command were extremely difficult, but they made a posture of ambushing the two places, so that people couldn't see what Gongsun Chan meant.

"Why do the dying know so much, take it!"

The generals under Yuan Shao's command were really arrogant enough, so full of provocative tones, they said it so without hesitation. It seems that after repelling Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zhan decided to build an operational base in his nest, so that he could lie in it, and he really had such advantages.

"I'm so daring, I'm going to let you know that there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world!"

Duan Ran listened to the rampant words of the generals under Yuan Shao's command, naturally he was not angry in his heart, roared angrily, and rushed towards the generals under Yuan Shao's command.

"Kow, knot, knot!"

Both of them use long weapons, Duan Ran uses a long lance, at this point, Duan Ran admires Gongsun Zhan, and then creates a long lance like Gongsun Zhan, showing the power of his attack is the strongest. It seems that in order to show their strength, the two of them have used their strength to eat, and they have no reservations at all.

"Drink, drink!"

"Kill!"

Duan Ran and the young generals under Yuan Shao's command shouted angrily, but the movements in their hands did not lag in the slightest, and they still slashed towards the other party violently.

"Bump!"

Under the collision, the two had to grasp the reins with one hand and clamp their legs on the belly of the horse, so as not to fall off the horse due to the recoil force of the collision just now. Not only were the two of them affected by this attack, but the war horses under their crotches also wailed in pain, and their four hooves kept stomping on the spot.

"Good, good!"

The generals under Yuan Shao's command applauded applauded very appreciatively, their heads held high, and they looked high.

"Your strength is good, you have been able to fight me for so long, you are already qualified to know the name of this general. Tell you, this will be the king of Hebei..."

Wang Zhou still held his head high and put on a superior posture, but Duan Ran on the opposite side didn't have the kung fu to deal with Wang Zhou, and now that the war has started, are you still putting on this posture to disgust people? At that moment, Duan Ran slammed the horse's belly, and then, the war horse under his crotch was in pain, and he rushed towards Wang Zhou quickly with Duan Ran. Wang Zhou was still reporting his name in Nade, how did he know that Duan Ran would take the opportunity to attack so shamelessly, and when he reacted, he only saw a flash of silver light, and then, Wang Zhou fell from the warhorse.

"Bang!"

"Plop!"

Duan Ran's lance slammed into Wang Zhou's armor, and a crisp metallic chirp sounded. However, Duan Ran's blow used ten percent of his strength, coupled with the superposition of the power of the war horse's charge, Wang Zhou fell off the war horse without the slightest suspense, with a painful expression on his face.

Wang Zhou didn't seem to be able to react before he was defeated? How could this be? However, the physical pain told him that everything that had just happened was true, not that he was dreaming.

"Ahh

"Poof!"

Wang Zhou raised his head to the sky unwillingly and let out a long roar, and then, before his voice was finished, a mouthful of blood surged up, but Wang Zhou couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood. The reason why he vomited blood was partly because he was under the attack of the blow just now, but more because Wang Zhou was angry with himself, why did he have to be so sassy. Fighting is fighting, but when the battle is average, you have to introduce your name, it's ridiculous!

Duan Ran turned his horse and came to Wang Zhou's side, pointed his long lance three inches in front of Wang Zhou's neck, and shouted angrily: "Waste, even this bit of strength dares to be so rampant! Go back and tell Yuan Shao that this Youzhou is not something he can touch, if he retreats quickly, my lord will let you go, otherwise, you will be killed. ”

Wang Zhou, who was kneeling on the ground, clenched his fists, his nails had already seeped into the team, and his heart was also full of grief and indignation. If it weren't for him who wanted to report his name, so that he couldn't block it in time, he was knocked off the horse by Duan Ran, and he thought it would be himself who was in high spirits at this moment!

"General Duan is mighty! General Duan is domineering!"

"It's ridiculous that the waste dog hasn't rolled back to his own territory, and he dares to run rampant in the Youzhou territory!"

Seeing that their generals won alone, the soldiers in Youzhou suddenly shouted in unison. The soldiers look at the problem very simply, the generals of both sides compete, and if they win, their generals are very good, and when the time comes, they will fight with each other, with boiling blood and full of fighting spirit, and it is very difficult for such an army to win.

On the side, Yuan Shao saw that Wang Zhou was defeated, and his face did not change much. However, seeing that Wang Zhou was defeated because of carelessness, Yuan Shao was still a little annoyed. However, now is not the time to hold him accountable, so he should quickly send a general to fight with Duan Ran, so as to defeat the other party and wash away the power of faith as soon as possible.

"The enemy generals are rampant, who dares to go out to fight!"

Yuan Shao shouted angrily without looking back, as the lord, he naturally wanted to let his side win decently. Moreover, as far as he knew, Gongsun Chan did not have a few fierce generals under his command, should he take it lightly? Obviously, this is not the right idea, and it is already rare for a lion to fight a rabbit and go all out, and an animal can do this.

"The last general is willing to fight!"

Behind Yuan Shao, in an extremely forward position, a mighty general with a long horse face walked out.

I saw this general-faced horse shoot out, the spear in his hand danced, and the whole set of movements was so smooth, it can be seen from this alone that the other party is obviously a very strong opponent. Gongsun Zhan stood in the center of the guard, looking at the general who walked out of Yuan Shao's camp, his brows furrowed slightly, this general's strength seemed to be a little strong. Among the information collected by the spies, this general seems to be called Gao Lan, one of the most powerful generals under Yuan Shao.

That's right, this military general with a long horse face is Gao Lan, one of the four court pillars in Hebei.

Gongsun Chan wanted Duan Ran to return to the team, after all, Duan Ran had already killed a general under Yuan Shao, successfully boosted his morale, and was a meritorious general, Gongsun Chan didn't want to watch his generals be killed by the other party. However, now that the opponent's challenge opponent has appeared, he is a powerful general, if he continues to stay on the battlefield and lose his life at that time, it will be worth the loss. However, changing generals in battle is also a very serious problem, and for a while, a careless mistake will bring a great blow to the morale of your own soldiers.

After thinking for a moment, Gongsun Chan still didn't recall Duan Ran in the end. The problem of changing generals in the battle is very serious, so let him fight with Gao Ran, if he loses, he will immediately send someone out to rescue, and Duan Ran cannot be injured in the slightest.

"Boy, Ben will give you a chance to make a move. Otherwise, once Ben will make a move, you will never have a chance again!"

Gao Ran held his head high, with a proud look.

"Pretend, die!"

Duan Ran roared angrily, and the long lance in his hand looked towards Fang Deyu's body with a sharp whistling sound. (To be continued......)
