Although they saw their robes fall in pieces in Yuan's crossbow arrows, the cavalry who were crossing the bridge did not panic, and under the leadership of their respective commanders and commanders, they continued to rush forward, trying to use the impact speed of the horses to rush over and knock the opposing Yuan officers and soldiers into the air, trample to death, or use the weapons in their hands to hack the opponent to death with a knife or a spear to the heart.

It is a pity that in the dense crossbow arrows of the Yuan army, the running war horses neighed and fell, falling to the ground together with their masters, and stumbling over the cavalry that was following closely behind. The cavalrymen who fell from their horses soon died, and many of the horses wailed when they fell to the ground wounded, struggling desperately with heavy air in their nostrils, trying to get back on their feet.

From the stone bridge to the open space in front of the Yuan army's formation, the corpses of cavalry and war horses shot by crossbow arrows and assassinated by spears piled up more and more. The blockage of the road ahead forced the cavalry crossing the bridge to slow down their horses. Seeing that due to the barrier between the cavalry on the ground and the corpses of the war horses, it was not easy for the cavalry to rush to the effective range, so that the killing effect of the crossbow arrows was weakened, so he decisively issued an order: "Ten steps forward for the whole army!" ”

Following his command, the sword-and-shield men and pikemen immediately marched ten paces forward with neat steps, stepping on the corpses all over the ground. The strong crossbowmen who stayed where they were, and after waiting for the sword and shield men and pikemen in front of them to take position, they fired a round of crossbow arrows before striding forward. Once in position, they fired a second round of crossbow bolts in time, sending the onrushing cavalry to the back of their horses.

And Yan Gang, who was known for his bravery and good fighting in Gongsun Zhan's army, personally led a team of cavalry to rush towards the west of the bridge under this circumstance. He didn't realize that he had made an attempted mistake, the bravery of the cavalry must rely on the fast running of the war horse to achieve, it can also be said that once the cavalry is hindered in the charge and slows down or even stops, then their combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the infantry, and even becomes a live target.

As soon as Yan Gang and his men and horses got off the bridge, a row of crossbow arrows flew in front of him, knocking him down to the left and right. Seeing that the situation was not good, Yan Gang turned his horse's head and prepared to run back, but at this moment, the cavalry on the bridge was already crowded into a lump, and it was still difficult to turn around, let alone give Yan Gang a way to escape.

Seeing this situation, Yan Gang's heart was annoyed, and just as he was considering whether he should jump into the Pan River and flee back to the east bank, he only heard a loud roar behind him: "Where can Yan Gang escape, take your life!" ”

He turned his head to look, and saw that Lu Yi, who had fought with him, was holding a big knife in his hand, jumping over the corpses on the ground on foot, and rushing towards him. Although Yan Gang's martial arts were inferior to the other party, he bullied the other party without riding a horse, so he still rushed over decisively and tried to kill Lu Yi with one sword in order to reverse the unfavorable situation.

Seeing Lu Yi rushing in front of him, Yan Gang clenched the big knife in his hand and slashed down with enough strength. But Lu Yi flashed to the side unhurriedly, dodging Yan Gang's knife with all his might. He leveled the broadsword in his hand and swept towards Yan Gang's mount, and with a click, the horse's two front legs were cut off by his broadsword, and the huge inertia threw Yan Gang off the horse.

Taking advantage of Yan Gang's being smashed, Lu Yi wasted no time in stepping forward and slashed him in the back. Due to the excessive force, he almost cut the fierce general under Gongsun Chan into two pieces.

Seeing the death of the commander, the cavalry of Gongsun Zhan, who was still crowded on the bridge, suddenly shouted: "General Yan is dead, General Yan is dead!" ”

Seeing that Gongsun Zhan's cavalry had fallen into chaos, Lu Yi waved the big sword in his hand forward and shouted, "Kill!" ”

The subordinates of Koji Yi, who had long been eager to try, cheered excitedly when they saw that their boss easily killed the opponent's generals with a single sword. After hearing Lu Yi's order, he immediately rushed up with a shout, and engaged the cavalry who were crowded on the bridge deck.

In the face of the rushing Yuan army, the cavalry huddled into a lump was unwilling to sit still, and hurriedly waved the weapons in their hands, desperately slashing left and right. But they were quickly dismounted by Yuan Jun's spears, and were even picked up in mid-air by several spears at the same time. Under the assassination of pikemen and the fire of crossbowmen, the blood of the fallen cavalry flowed down the stone bridge into the raging Pan River, staining the river red.

When the cavalry on the east bank saw that the main general was killed, they did not dare to fight, and they turned their horses and fled in the direction they came. When the soldiers and horses of Lu Yi killed all the cavalry on the bridge deck and came to the east bank, they could only see the dust raised by the cavalry as they fled. Knowing that his infantry could not catch up with four legs on two legs, he decisively gave the order to stop the pursuit, and returned to the west of the bridge with his troops, retreating towards Gwangjong Castle.

Half an hour later, Gongsun Chan led the army back to the Pan River. After he saw the tragic situation on the battlefield, he couldn't help but be shocked, this time the troops were sent out so far, and all the casualties added up to the number of people who died by the Pan River. The corpses of the crossbow arrows were stacked on top of each other by the river, and the blood that flowed out was puddled, and the smell of blood was strong enough to suffocate.

Liu Bei urged the horse to come to Gongsun Zhan's side and whispered to him: "Brother, failure is a common thing in soldiers. We set up camp first, and then collect these corpses, and then we will ask for the blood debt to be paid off by the regents in the coming day. ”

Gongsun Zan nodded after hearing this, and instructed Tian Kai: "Be sure to find General Yan's corpse!" ”

…………

At the same time, Yuan Shao got the good news of Lu Yi.

After he read it, he handed over the battle report to Feng Ji, Fu Zhu and others to circulate, and at the same time said with half a doubt: "Tell me, is this battle report of Lu Yi true or false?" The 3,000 infantry blocked Gongsun Zhan's 30,000 cavalry, not only beheaded the general Yan Gang, but also eliminated 7,000 cavalry. ”

"Lord Qiqi," Feng Ji hurriedly stood up and replied after reading the battle report: "Ji thinks that Lu Yi is lying about the military situation, and the cavalry is originally the nemesis of the infantry, not to mention 3,000 against 30,000, even if it is 30,000 against 30,000, it would be good to be able to get a draw, how could such a result be achieved?" ”

"Yuan Tu's words are wrong," as soon as Feng Ji's words were finished, Tian Feng stood up and retorted: "Lu Yi is a fierce general in Jizhou who can conquer and fight, he can defeat Gongsun Zhan's cavalry, Feng feels that this matter is completely credible." ”

Feng Ji squinted at Tian Feng, and asked in a strange manner: "Yuan Hao, why do you think that Lu Yi can defeat Gongsun Zhan's 30,000 cavalry with 3,000?" ”

"At the beginning of the year, Lu Yi rebelled," Tian Feng was provoked by Feng Ji, and said with some words: "Han Jizhou personally led an army of 50,000 to crusade, but was defeated by the other party's 2,000 soldiers and horses. Since he was able to defeat 50,000 soldiers and horses at the beginning, what is strange about defeating 30,000 soldiers and horses today? ”

Hearing that Tian Feng actually mentioned Han Fu, Yuan Shao's face showed a trace of anger, but Tian Feng, who was unaware, continued: "If Han Jizhou had already entrusted Lu Yi with a heavy responsibility, it is estimated that Gongsun Zhan would not have dared to wave his troops south......

"That's enough," Yuan Shao heard this, and slammed his fist on the table in front of him, stopping Tian Feng from continuing: "I just asked you if Lu Yi's battle report is credible, but what are you talking about Han Fu will not use people." "Tell me what you think," he asked, turning his gaze to his more trusting frustration. ”

"Returning to the lord's words," said cautiously, "the subordinates think that General Lu Yi's battle report is completely credible. Therefore, Jizhou is only a few dozen miles away from the boundary bridge, as long as the scout horse is dispatched, it only takes one or two hours for us to figure out the actual situation on the battlefield. ”

After listening to the analysis of the frustrated teaching, Yuan Shao's face finally showed a smug smile: "This Lu Yi is really not simple, he defeated Gongsun Chan so easily." Where is Yan Liang! ”

With his shout, Yan Liang hurriedly stood up from the queue, "The end will be!" ”

Yuan Shao picked up an arrow from the box: "Order you to lead 3,000 elite soldiers and rush to the boundary bridge!" ”

Yan Liang stepped forward and took the arrow, "The last general will take the order!" ”

After Yan Liang retreated, Yuan Shaochong looked left and right, and then said: "This general plans to personally lead the army to the boundary bridge and fight with Gongsun Zhan, I don't know who you want to go with?" ”

"Lord!" As soon as Yuan Shao's words fell, Feng Ji and the two of them came out, "The subordinates are willing to go together!" ”

Seeing that Fu Zhu, Tian Feng and the others were standing in place and did not move, Yuan Shao frowned and said with some displeasure: "Gonghe and Yuan Hao, don't you two want to go to the boundary bridge with General Ben?" ”

"Lord Qi," seeing that Yuan Shao had a precursor to anger, he hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "Guangping City in the south has an army of 10,000 people from the Han family, if the lord leads his troops to the boundary bridge, Jizhou City will become empty, if he takes the opportunity to attack, but the city will not be able to be protected." ”

Regarding what he was worried about, Yuan Shao said disapprovingly after hearing this: "Gong He is too worried, I have ordered Zhang He to lead the troops to attack Guangping City, and the Han family is too busy to take care of himself, where can he still draw troops to attack Jizhou." ”

Hearing that Yuan Shao was not worried that Jizhou City would be lost, he was not good at persuading him, so he could only follow his meaning and say: "Since this is the case, then the subordinates are willing to go to the boundary bridge with the lord and fight a decisive battle with Gongsun Zhan!" ”

Tian Feng saw that Yuan Shao's advisers were about to go out with him, and he hurriedly stood out of the queue and wanted to express his attitude to Yuan Shao. Who knew that Yuan Shao waved his hand at him: "Yuan Hao, I will leave you eight hundred soldiers to maintain order in the city, so as not to cause trouble." ”

An hour later, the 3,000 elite soldiers led by Yan Liang set off towards the boundary bridge.

After another hour, Yuan Shao took Fu Zhu, Feng Ji, Juan Pei and others, commanded 8,000 soldiers and horses, and also drove towards the direction of the boundary bridge.

The spies sent by Han Zhan to Jizhou City were overjoyed when they learned that there were only 800 county soldiers left in the city to guard them. After waiting for the army to leave, he secretly sneaked out of the city from the direction of the west of the city, and then went straight to Guangping City to report the news.
