Ma Qiang's side is sharpening his sword, and the two armies near the boundary bridge have been separated by several miles.

The boundary bridge is a wide stone bridge across the Qingshui River, and after crossing the boundary bridge is the boundary of Julu County, the two armies confront each other across this stone bridge.

Gongsun Zhan took a hundred people out of the camp to observe the terrain, only to see him in silver armor and white robe, holding a double-headed spear, a white dragon horse under his crotch, and all the clothes behind him were all dressed like this, looking white and swaying, but he was majestic and handsome.

After all, men have little resistance to things that sway in white.

"General, look, Yuan Shao's camp is set up a few miles on the opposite bank, and it seems that he wants us to wait to cross the river and fight!" Guan Jing pointed to the Yuan Shao military camp in the distance and said.

"Three or four miles, it is not close to say that it is not close, it is not far away, if Yuan Shao takes our army to cross and attack, it will be troublesome." Yan Gang on the side simulated the battle situation in his mind, and felt that this battle was not easy to fight.

"Yuan Shao'er, the noble son of Luoyang, has never seen a battle, and when he asked for Dong that day, it was Ma Qiang, Cao Cao and others who contributed to it, if these two people are here, I am still in awe, but as far as he is concerned, what is there to fear?"

Gongsun Zhan won consecutive battles, and at this time, he didn't take Yuan Shao seriously at all.

Yan Gang also felt that this was the case, no matter how he looked at it, Yuan Shao's winning chance was too small.

Fighting a war is not a competition for family background, it is a real sword.

"General, I'm not worried about Yuan Shao, but I'm worried about Ma Qiang, our army has a conflict with him in Youzhou, and the plain is connected to the Bohai Sea and the Qinghe River, such as after he attacked our army..."

"So it's all the more important to be quick! Ma Qiang is a forward-looking person who does things forward, and has the kindness of a woman, as long as our army defeats Yuan Shao quickly, even if he wants to meddle in the affairs of Jizhou, he will give up! ”

Gongsun Zhan's words made everyone nod their heads, in their memory, Ma Qiang is not such a person, if he is really a ruthless person, as early as that day when Gongsun Chan was rude to him, he would be escorted down and beheaded.

"Look, General! The thief camp is coming! ”

It turned out that Yuan Shao heard that Gongsun Chan went out of the camp to check the terrain, so he also took Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Fu Zhu, Tian Feng and others out of the camp to explore the reality of Gongsun Zhan.

Unlike the white-horse cavalry, although Yuan Shao's side also rode horses, the horses were of different colors, and their momentum was invisibly reduced a lot.

"Gongsun Xiao'er! I kindly asked Bohai to give it to you, but you are not satisfied, even Dong Zhuo is afraid of my sword, what can you do? Dare to take my county! Yuan Shao took the horsewhip, across the river, and shouted and scolded Gongsun Zhan.

Gongsun Zan smiled and said, "Jizhou was originally owned by Han Fu, what do you have to do with Yuan Shao, you are all thieves around you, and I am now on the order of the imperial court to get you!" You lowly son, wash your neck and wait! ”

"you! Aren't you a lowly son? Yuan Shao was suddenly anxious, this beating doesn't slap people's face, scolding people doesn't scold their mother! What are you doing here!

When Gongsun Chan heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, and he really forgot his origin.

The soldiers on both sides bowed their heads in unison, and the scene was extremely embarrassing for a while.

"Yuan Benchu! How dare you fight me! "Gongsun Zhan slapped the bridge on the horse, and the double-headed spear pointed at Yuan Shao, and he was about to duel.

"Hahaha! Haven't you heard Xiang Yu's story! ”

Yuan Shao said disdainfully, "Tomorrow, you and I will fight here, not to the death, do you dare?" ”

"It's a deal! Whoever dares not to fight, whoever will be ruined by pigs and dogs, will have the other party's surname in the future, Gongsun Shao, this name is not bad! ”

Yuan Shao almost brushed his sleeves away when he heard this, what kind of person is this Nima! A mouth full of foul language!

Gongsun Zan saw Yuan Shao retreating, and said to the left and right, "Let the sergeants rest well, send more patrols, and fight a decisive battle tomorrow!" "Love Net

There was nothing to do all night, and the next day on the fifth watch, the two armies made food and ate, and when the sun first rose, the sergeants wore armor and assembled, and the drums rumbled and the trumpets sounded.

The two armies were bounded by a boundary bridge and lined up in military formations.

"Look, General! Yuan Shao gave up two miles of land, it seems that he wants us to cross the river! ”

When Gongsun Chan heard Yan Gang's words, he took a look at it and said with a smile, "There are less than 2,000 people in the front army, so it's really a young person who has never been in battle." ”

It turned out that Yuan Shao's army formation was a large formation with a light front and a heavy back, the front army was 1,800 people led by Ju Yi, and the rear army had tens of thousands.

It seemed that the more than 1,000 people were so thin, as if a charge could penetrate it.

Gongsun Zhan knew very well that most of Yuan Shao's army were recruits who had not been in battle, and such a sergeant would have been afraid of the cavalry charge, as long as he defeated the front army and then drove it away, he could let the defeated soldiers help him break through the rear formation, and he would be able to win a big victory.

The infantry is not unable to fight the cavalry, but it can only be veterans, and the recruits face the cavalry, and nine out of ten will run away directly, after all, thousands of troops and horses on the opposite side rush over, and everyone feels that they are dead.

"Yan Gang, you are the vanguard in this battle, I will give you the White Horse Righteousness, and you will level them for me!" Gongsun Zhan waved his horsewhip, as if he could whip Yuan Shao to death at once.

Yan Gang responded, and suddenly one person shouted, "General! The last general thinks that Yuan Shao has a trick! ”

Gongsun Zhan looked back and saw that it was Tian Kai, and said unhappily, "What's the trick?" ”

"General, you see, the front army of the thief army has a big shield, although there are few people, but the military formation is rigorous, such a formation reminds me of the battle of Changping in the past."

Speaking of Changping, everyone couldn't help but shudder.

The terrifying loud noise, which was not visible at all, was still a nightmare in their hearts.

Until now, Gongsun Chan and others have not figured out what kind of ordnance they have been defeated in, and what the kind of weapon that can set off fireworks is, they can only be called firearms according to their characteristics.

It's right.

Gongsun Chan swallowed his saliva, and his original arrogance couldn't help but shrink a little.

"Could it be... After those big shields, are the strong bows and crossbows? Gongsun Zhan's pupils shrank and he said his guess.

He would not suspect that Yuan Shao also had firearms.

But the crossbow is no different from a firearm in a way, except that the war horse is not frightened.

"If this is the case, our cavalry will rush forward rashly, and they will surely suffer heavy losses!" Yan Gang couldn't help but be afraid.

Yuan Shao on the other side saw that Gongsun Zan had not moved for a long time, so he asked Yan Liang to come forward to challenge.

Yan Liang urged him to step forward and shouted loudly, "Baima Xiaoer, quickly cross the river and fight me to the death!" Are you cowardly? ”

Gongsun Chan just wanted to get angry, but Yan Gang on the side immediately said, "General, the thief will provoke the general so much, there must be fraud!" ”

"Am I afraid of him? Yan Gang and Wang Men, you two lead the cavalry to divide into two teams, the left and right, do not go straight to the enemy's formation, go around the formation! Tian Kai, you lead the infantry forward, test its reality and reality, in this battle, we must defeat him Yuan Shao with a dignified battle! ”

From this moment on, the Battle of the Boundary Bridge has undergone a great change because of Ma Qiang.
