What kind of character Yuan Shao is, he naturally knows that Zhang He is different from Yan Liang, and it is not easy to destroy his self-confidence, make him obediently obey orders, and swear allegiance to the death.

He looked at the young but determined Zhang He, and said: "Junyi, I may have said some things before, but in fact, your performance in the battle of the party was very exciting. ”

"Huh?"

Zhang He was slightly stunned, these words were diametrically opposed to the criticism and rectification in the previous month, could it be that the lord really understood him.

Yuan Shao continued to say gently: "At that time, you were on a narrow mountain road, breaking through the enemy's resistance, and you also flexibly used grain carriers to minimize the harm of the enemy's water attack. ”

"Without your efforts, Yan Liang would not have been saved, let alone the brave counterattack behind. So, you are not only the best of the younger generation, but also the most promising of all the generals. ”

Zhang He was almost speechless. Yuan Shao saw him like this, and immediately explained: "Therefore, the heavens will descend on people, and they must first work hard and work their muscles and bones...... You've worked hard these days, and I'm sure you've become stronger. ”

Zhang He was slightly moved, and this month's grievances suddenly came to an end, making him almost burst into tears.

Yuan Shao walked up to Zhang He, patted him on the shoulder, and encouraged: "It's okay, you go back and rest first, you don't need a knife to encircle and suppress Gongsun Zan this time, and when the time comes, it will be the time for you to show your skills when you deal with the Huns, Xianbei, and Xiliang thieves." ”

"No!" Zhang He left in high spirits.

Yuan Shao looked at his distant back and stroked his beard very slowly.

He will not be notified of important military meetings in the future. His part, which has similarities with Kojiyi, must be split this time. By the time he found out that he was gradually being marginalized, Koji Yoshiki was probably no longer in this world.

A cronie of the family walked in cautiously and whispered: "Shi Wanglie, the magistrate of Liaodong County, there is news to the lord, saying that Gongsun Kang has led the soldiers, horses and sea ships to disappear, and it is estimated that they will arrive in the near future. ”

Yuan Shao said: "This matter, apart from you and me, does Xun Chen know?" ”

The cronies replied: "Although Mr. Xun Chen's side has a good relationship with Wang Lie, military matters are still only for us. ”

Yuan Shao was relieved and recalled: "This Wang Lie studied under Chen Yu, a famous scholar in Yingchuan, and has a deep friendship with the Xun family, and he has a lot of fame in the world. Later, he opposed Dong Zhuo and fled to Liaodong, originally not wanting to contact the military and politics again. ”

"Later, at the suggestion of Xun Youruo and me, I accepted the position of long history given by Gongsun Du. In fact, in terms of Pindi's knowledge and fame, even Thorn Shi and Taishou were a little wronged by him. Now he can only endure the humiliation. ”

The cronie said, "My lord is wise, and there are not many people in the world who are eager to join your command." ”

Yuan Shao sighed: "Yes, it's fast, it's really fast." ”

Suddenly, murderous aura flashed in his eyes, and he ordered: "This situation, there is no need to talk to anyone, only our strongest descendants must be prepared for field battles." ”

"No."

......

Most of the Yuan troops defending the east side of Gongsun Zhan were second- and third-line soldiers and horses, and they were vulnerable to the sudden attack of elite heavy infantry.

There were not many soldiers and horses in the camp first, and Liyi was not in the camp, so the generals and nephews had to rely on the camp to resist the attack of the heavy infantry.

When fighting with the Donglai heavy infantry, the advantages of the combat power of the Xiandeng battalion were undoubtedly highlighted, but compared with dealing with the light cavalry, the durability and lethality of the heavy infantry also made the Xiandeng battalion pay a heavy price.

By the time Koji returned in the evening, half of the 800-man advance camp had been lost. The opponent's heavy infantry still numbered more than 2,000 people.

As soon as Koji Yoshiki entered the war, he was handy. He temporarily forgot about the annoying things in the upper echelons and worked with the grassroots soldiers to probe the enemy's situation. He soon found out that the other party was not in a hurry to fight a decisive battle and wiped them out in one fell swoop.

It stands to reason that the three thousand heavy infantry tried their best, how could they annihilate these hundreds of them in one day, but the other party had the intention of holding on and waiting for the main force of Yuan's army.

He immediately judged that the three thousand people in addition might just be bait. Maybe there must be more enemies arriving in Liaodong, maybe to encircle the point and send reinforcements.

Koji Yi immediately made a decision, asked the generals to collect the defeated troops, and did not affect them to attack the other departments, and at the same time prepared to take the initiative to attack and try the reality of the Liaodong Army.

At the same time, as the defeated troops poured into the camp, all the units of Yuan's army knew that Gongsun Du of Liaodong had sent people to attack across the sea, and they were all on high alert.

Han Meng and Jiang Qi were responsible for besieging Gongsun Zhan, so they naturally waited day and night, and did not dare to relax in the slightest.

The rest of the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, such as Lü Kuang, Lü Xiang, Jiao Touch, Zhang Nan, Ma Yan, Zhang Kai, and the generals Chun Yuqiong and Wu Huan Kudun, have always been used as mobile forces and can attack and drive away the enemy.

Lü Kuang and Lü Xiang reacted quickly, and they arranged for their generals to receive the rout, and then led 3,000 elites to form a formation to support the east flank.

The heavy infantry of Gongsun Du's army, when they saw someone attacking, all lined up with swords, shields, spears and shields, maintaining a defensive posture and not letting reinforcements approach.

Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang were overjoyed when they saw the situation, and launched an attack formation to attack.

The two also knew that they should use state and county soldiers as much as possible in the war, and not let the core troops lose too much. Therefore, they let the poorly equipped state and county soldiers attack first, and wait for a while to consume the five hundred parts that will be put into the core.

Suddenly, a group of black-armored cavalry flashed on the flanks of the Erlu army, and they gradually accelerated from far to near, gradually forming several wedge-shaped formations as they galloped.

When you get a little closer, you can see that these cavalrymen are about a thousand people, and the soldiers are all sturdy and of extraordinary physique. Some were armed with axes and hammers, some were armed with carbines, and some wore armor and shot arrows with bows.

Judging from the equipment of these people alone, it is enough to be proud of the armies, but they are like a black torrent, oppressively approaching, which exudes a cold and murderous aura, which is even more terrifying.

They are the most elite Liaodong iron cavalry under Gongsun Du, because they have been fighting with the Wuhuan, Xianbei, and Goguryeo people all year round, and the level of cavalry warfare alone is enough to rank among the ranks of the first level.

What's more, now their most shrewd and capable young lord Gongsun Kang and fifty old white horse righteous servants led them to smash the enemy army with little cover.

A thousand heavy cavalry directly rushed to kill the core of Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang.

The sound of metal colliding quickly turned into a scream and wail, and Yuan Jun, who was hit by the side, completed the turn at most, and there was no time to re-array.

Seeing the situation, Lu Kuang broke through the siege with a bloody way. Lü Xiang reacted slowly, and was knocked off his horse by the heavy cavalry and trampled to death.

Those Yuan Junzhou county soldiers who were in front and consumed heavy infantry, where did they dare to continue to resist, most of them ran away, and a few hurriedly surrendered to the heavy infantry in front of them to avoid losing their lives in vain.

Lu Kuang and more than a dozen other horsemen clamped the belly of the horse and fled lifelessly. Not long after, he happened to meet the second wave of reinforcements from Ma Yan and Zhang Kai.

After Lu Kuang's introduction, they first hurriedly sent someone to report to Yuan Shao, and then called for the nearby Chun Yuqiong and Dun Wuhuan cavalry to support.

Soon, Chun Yuqiong's army approached within three miles, and the Wuhuan cavalry also arrived not far away.

Ma Yan and Zhang Kai commanded the soldiers to form a fish-scale formation, maintaining a posture of guarding against cavalry in three directions, and slaughtered towards Gongsun Du's army.

This time, the soldiers and horses of Gongsun Kang and Gongsun Fan actually put the heavy cavalry in the middle, and the heavy infantry lined up on both wings to cover.

Lu Kuang exclaimed: "Gongsun Zhan's White Horse Yicong used this battle in the Battle of the Boundary Bridge. It is best to deal with it by the method of General Kojiyi. ”

Ma Yan and Zhang Kai did not participate in the battle of the Boundary Bridge, but said disdainfully: "Don't mention Lu Yi, now the lord doesn't like this person, how can I learn his methods~"

They immediately corresponded, and also placed 1,000 cavalry of various types in the center to hedge against the heavy cavalry of Gongsun Du's army. On both flanks were the limitedly armed state and county troops, against the enemy's heavy infantry.

Amid the drums of war, the two sides began to attack each other.

Gongsun Kang and Gongsun Fan once again personally led the heavy cavalry to attack.

They combined the tactics of Liaodong iron cavalry and white horse Yicong, and the first three rows were heavy cavalry armed with horse pistols and blunt weapons, striving for the effect of assault, breaking formation, and fighting.

The heavily armored archers, on the other hand, were in the rear row, and they were specially used to disrupt the enemy with arrows when they were close to the enemy line, and then they rushed to the front row to meet the enemy, and took their bows to aim at those fish that slipped through the net.

Of course, this tactic could not have been practiced in an instant after converging with the old white horse Yicong.

With this time and such a level, who else can there be except for Zhao Yun's hand?

He had trained this cavalry of 1,500 men with Gongsun Kang before he set out for Liaodong. In the days of sailing on the sea, it was repeatedly deduced, and the main military officials were all familiar with it.

This time, the heavy cavalry of the two types of weapons are a group of people who are familiar with each other, but the division of labor is different, although it is the first time to use it, but they can also cooperate.

They attacked with Yuan's cavalry, and when the front row was about to fight, the back row fired a round of arrows.

The cavalry of the Yuan army was mainly lightly armed, and the attention was highly focused on the horses and opponents at the moment of encounter. The rain of arrows from this round of raids caused terrible casualties, and even caused people to roll on their backs, destroying the formation of their impact.

"Ahh

"Poof!"

Cold weapons are always brutal and bloody. Without special training, mental support, or external pressure, it may be difficult for a soldier to withstand the horror of a fight.

And the cavalry hedged against each other, which was even more terrifying, and some people didn't have time to react before they had fallen off their horses and were shattered.

Therefore, if the general is not very confident in his cavalry, or cherishes it very much, he is reluctant to let the cavalry attack, and this kind of fighting style will inevitably lose a lot.

But the Liaodong cavalry must be like this in order to survive!

At the moment when the cavalry hedged and fought, some Yuan Jun closed their eyes and blinked because they were afraid, and some subconsciously slowed down.

All this was clearly seen by the Liaodong cavalry. They don't pity these instinctive opponents, and they all use this opportunity to attack with all their might.

In only half a pillar of incense, the Liaodong heavy cavalry achieved an overwhelming advantage.
