Chapter 383: White Horse Righteous Followers (4/10 for Alliance Leader Aital Dega)
Zhao Yun was not verbose, led 400 cavalry and 1,000 infantry, quickly killed the fortress, and stormed Guo Tu to rescue Gongsun Zhan.
Guo Tu had already prepared for the rescue in the city, and while facing Gongsun Zhan, he had already arranged 500 cavalry, preparing to rush across the defenders as soon as they left the city.
It's a pity that their five hundred cavalry can beat Zhao Yun's four hundred elites.
As soon as the two sides looked at each other, the cavalry of the Yuan army was torn into two sections by the wedge-shaped formation, and the infantry followed behind, and in a stick of incense, this cavalry did not exist.
Yuan Jun's rear team did not dare to be careless after seeing the momentum of Zhao Yun's cavalry, and immediately asked Guo Tu how to deal with it.
Guo Tu ordered the infantry and archers who were already fighting Gongsun Chan to continue to besiege Gongsun Chan, while the halberdiers in the rear team met the enemy who had killed the fortress.
After the Yuan army divided its troops, it avoided the main force being attacked from both sides, so that for the besieged Gongsun Zhan, the pressure did not decrease at all.
However, there are also hidden dangers in this way, that is, Guo Tu's soldiers and horses are only 3,000, and after the losses just now, the number is now even more limited.
Zhao Yun's cavalry and infantry faced the rear of the Yuan army, although they were extremely well-equipped and trained, but their numbers were smaller than theirs.
If these people are not strong, it is a waste of troops to add fuel tactics, and if the combat power is strong, he also has a flexible command method, not to fight with them, to rescue General Baima.
He ordered all the mounted white horse cavalry to change their guns to bows, and with the advantage of heavy armor, they approached within fifty paces, and shot Yuan's halberders one by one.
The Yuan army also had crossbowmen coming over, but the number was less than a hundred, and they were shooting at the heavily armored cavalry after physical exertion, how could they suppress Zhao Yun's dual-function elite?
About half a pillar of incense passed, the halberd soldiers were killed and wounded fifty or sixty people, but the heavy cavalry was only about ten and could not continue the battle.
Zhao Yun looked at the situation dominantly, but he sweated in his heart.
"This Yuan army is very strong, the average soldier loses five of a hundred soldiers, and it is possible to shake and rout, they have lost ten, but there is no sign of weakness."
"If it takes a while, you can win, but the time to rescue is too much, and it takes time to recover the strength of the bow. Can't keep consuming! ”
Zhao Yun pretended to charge the battle alone, but after killing in front of the enemy, he turned his horse around, and reflexively returned to the horse gun to kill the infantry.
In this way, he always fought with the enemy soldiers in the front row, killing several people in a row, which made the enemy angry.
Yuan's halberd soldiers scolded and ordered each line to form a phalanx and rush up to attack Zhao Yun and these cavalry.
But Zhao Yun fought and left, and retreated into the cavalry. The halberdiers had just approached the cavalry to ten paces, and the other party had withdrawn in an orderly manner, not fighting them at all.
Yuan Jun was a little slack just now, but he saw hundreds of infantry who followed Zhao Yun out of the city and killed them. After they get closer, they defend more and attack less, which is obviously a trick to hold them back.
Yuan Junjun was vigilant in his heart, knowing that this was a tactic in which the infantry was entangled head-on, and the cavalry carried out the tactic of backcharging.
As the elite selected by Yuan Shao from various ministries, he certainly has a way to deal with it.
He hurriedly ordered the halberdiers to change to a circular formation, so as to completely protect the flank and rear, although the front was besieged by the enemy, but they were stronger, so that Gongsun Zhan's infantry paid a five-to-one exchange ratio.
Zhao Yun saw the situation and knew that these infantry who went out of the city with him would not last long. But he must rescue Gongsun Zhan, otherwise these people will all die here.
He roared loudly, and only took a hundred cavalry to charge Guo Tu, and the rest of the soldiers and horses covered the infantry, and continued to consume the enemy's halberds with arrows.
Guo Tu saw that the rear was evenly matched, and thought that the enemy who went out of the city to relieve the siege had been blocked by the elite.
But at this moment, Zhao Yun led a hundred cavalry and attacked Guo Tu's rear team at high speed.
This time, Zhao Yun did not use the mounted cavalry for the sake of neat and orderly small steps, but directly and decisively attacked the Yuan army at high speed.
The high-speed cavalry directly rammed into a platoon of infantry, and some of the Yuan troops who tried to counterattack were stabbed in vain with their halberds.
Their iron "Bu" shaped halberds are effective against ordinary armor, but their lack of strength makes it difficult for them to inflict substantial damage on their opponents.
As for spikes, they don't pierce armor like super-long spears; When it comes to slashing, they can't compare to the effect of the ring head knife.
Only the hook move, which can theoretically hook the heavy cavalry off the horse, and then everyone can stab the enemy to death.
It's a pity that Yuan's army was raided, and the halberd soldiers didn't have time to line up and cooperate with each other to hook down the enemy. With only a single soldier, even if the martial arts are good, in front of a well-protected opponent, it is also a situation of passive beating.
The cavalry on the horse can kill and injure the halberdier with various moves, but the halberdier only has the hook to be effective, and the rest is blocked by the armor of the cavalry and horses.
Especially Zhao Yun, rushing left and right as if no man's land, several tun chiefs tried to organize a formation to resist, but they were all killed by him with one shot.
Guo Tu was shocked when he saw this, it stands to reason that this elite army has absorbed the elites of various departments, and has incorporated Zhang He's euphorbia, how could he not be able to defeat such a small number of cavalry?
He knew that now was not the time to think about the reason, but on this side, Zhao Yun broke the formation, and on the other side, Gongsun Zan also singled out him to break through here, which was really dangerous.
As the commander of the leading side, Guo Tu considered retaining his strength and his own safety first, so he had to quickly withdraw from the battlefield.
Gongsun Zhan faced Yuan Shao and Guo Tu in the middle of the attack, and after losing three percent of the battle, he was basically defeated. However, Yuan Shao did not plan to stop when he saw Gongsun Zan kneeling and surrendering.
Seeing that some of the soldiers fled on their own, and some who couldn't escape wanted to mutiny and kill Gongsun Chan to surrender, only 2,000 people still followed him, although he was defeated, he still held on.
He chose the road back to the fortress, and resolutely broke through from the direction of Guotu.
At this moment, Zhao Yun tore through this section of Guo Tu in the encirclement, and Guo Tu withdrew in embarrassment.
Gongsun Zhan looked at the rescued people who were also riding white horses, and then looked at it, except for Zhao Zilong, most of the others were old guys who had followed him for many years.
Ignoring the tears, he hurriedly joined Zhao Yun and returned to Yijing City together.
The infantry of Gongsun Zhan's army, which was responsible for the attack of Guo Tuhou's halberd soldiers just now, had long been unable to besiege because of heavy casualties, and was almost broken up by a counterattack by the opponent.
Fortunately, there were several hundred cavalry to cover, otherwise they would be surrounded and blocked by Yuan's army.
Of course, Zhao Yun and Gongsun Chan didn't give them a chance, Zhao Yun raided and broke the formation, and Gongsun Chan flew to shoot and kill the enemy's soldiers. The rest saw that Bai Ma Yicong had already broken through and did not dare to stay and retreat directly.
Yuan Shao lacked both strength and number of cavalry, so he had to let Gongsun Zan withdraw to the Yijing City Fortress.
Koji's side has also fought to the last moment.
......
Chun Yuqiong, Ma Yan, Bun Dun and others watched the final death battle of the two soldiers and horses by the river beach with expressionless faces.
Under the setting sun, the first camp of Koyi and the three hundred and four dead soldiers of Gongsun Fan finally divided the victory and defeat.
There were more than 400 people standing in the camp first.
Gongsun Fan's dead soldiers, including himself, are only eight people left.
