Gongsun Fan's face was full of worry and worry.

"Generals, please calm down!"

Gongsun Zhan's face was full of displeasure, and it was this Gongsun Fan again, who ran to pour cold water at this time.

Barely suppressing the anger in his heart, Gongsun Chan opened his mouth and asked:

"What do you have to say?"

No matter how unsympathetic Gongsun Fan is, he knows that his brother is in a very unhappy mood at the moment, but as a general, he has to speak:

"Yuan Shao's army is powerful, and he has suffered defeats several times, I'm afraid there is fraud in it. Fang Cai's high-ranking cadres have good military strength, how could such a person turn around and run away as soon as he falls into the disadvantage? In addition, after he fled into the main formation, his headquarters soldiers and horses were also panicked, which is a bit of a desire to cover up, right? ”

Gongsun Zhan's heart moved, although this younger brother spoke very unpleasantly, but his military talent was obvious to all, and now this analysis is also reasonable.

Looking at it this way, Yuan Shaojun really seems to have some tricks.

"What General Gongsun Fan said is quite reasonable, but the lower officials have different opinions."

The person who spoke was a middle-aged scribe with a bookish face, and his eyes always glanced up when he spoke, giving people a very uncomfortable feeling.

This person's name is Zou Dan, the current Yuyang Taishou, and he is the person that Gongsun Zan relies on more.

"Zou Taishou said it doesn't hurt."

Gongsun Chan glanced at the battlefield in the distance, and then spoke again.

Zou Dan bowed his hand slightly, saluted, and then continued to speak:

"Although Yuan Shaojun is strong, after all, it is normal for the morale to be low after all. Therefore, a few days ago, he conducted a drill outside the city with the intention of improving morale, but later he was recognized by the lord and dispatched troops to break his plan, all thanks to the lord's foresight! ”

seemed to inadvertently slapped a sycophant, which made Gongsun Zhan's face cloudy and clear, and then said:

"In the next few days, our army and Yuan Shao's army won and lost each other, but our army always had the upper hand. Especially when General Xiahoulan led Bai Mayi to attack from the troops, he repeatedly broke Yuan Shao's army. ”

When Gongsun Chan and the surrounding generals heard this, they all nodded.

"This also created the prestige of General Xiahoulan and the supreme prestige of the lord. Although the senior cadre was quite talented, after sensing the gap with General Xiahou, he turned around and fled, which was just taken by General Xiahou's prestige. In the same way, when the soldiers under his command found that their own general was defeated by General Xiahou, they had to face the now prestigious White Horse Righteous Servant Army, and it was really normal for them to behave like this. ”

"Not bad, not bad. What Zou Taishou said was extremely true. ”

"Zou Taishou's analysis is reasonable!"

"It's all up to the lord's prestige!"

Zou Dan's explanation immediately attracted a wave of praise.

Many people even praised Gongsun Zhan.

In the midst of singing praises, Gongsun Chan glanced at Gongsun Fan triumphantly, ignored him, and turned his head to look at the battlefield outside the city.

Gongsun Fan wanted to continue to speak, but he felt that the cuffs were being tugged.

Turning his head, he saw Gongsun Yue glancing at him on the side. I didn't go on.

Now the situation on the battlefield has not changed much, and it is still the white horse Yicong who occupies an absolute advantage.

Gao Gan's troops are now very embarrassed, chased by the white horse Yicong, like a flock of sheep hunted by wolves.

And as if he was knocked unconscious, Gao Gan actually led the troops not to retreat in the direction of the boundary bridge, but ran in another direction.

This also made Xia Houlan more relieved to pursue this unit.

Just when Yuan Shaojun fled in a hurry, and Gongsun Zhan's army triumphantly pursued.

Suddenly, there was a bang.

Immediately afterward, two forces of only a few thousand men suddenly appeared on the flanks and in the rear of the battlefield.

Xia Houlan's heart tightened, and he hurriedly ordered the troops to stop the pursuit.

Bai Ma Yi has never been worthy of being an elite army, and the order was forbidden, so he stopped in an instant, and sorted out the somewhat messy formation as quickly as possible.

At the head of Panhe City, Gongsun Fan shouted: "Not good! Sure enough, I was ambushed! ”

The people who were still boasting about their victory in micro-manipulation all closed their mouths at this moment.

Gongsun Chan was the first to react at this time, and shouted loudly:

"Quick! Fast! Fast! Quickly send someone to pick up Xiahoulan! ”

Gongsun Fan hurriedly rushed down the city, and anxiously led his troops and horses to rush out.

Among the ambushes on Xiahou Lan's side, Guo Tu and Ju Yi are now together.

Guo Tu said with a smile on his face: "General Ju Yi, it's all up to you next."

"Hahaha, it's nature! This bureau of the military division is really good. ”

Turning his head, he saw countless soldiers and horses appearing in Panhe City, and hurried here, obviously coming to meet Xiahoulan's White Horse Righteous Servants.

Ju Yi smiled and waved his hand, and immediately a herald waved the order flag to convey the order.

I saw that the two ambush troops quickly merged in one place, completely blocking Xiahoulan's retreat.

At the same time, Gao Gan's troops also quickly turned back and prepared for the attack.

The positions of both sides were immediately reversed.

Gongsun Zhan's army changed from a pursuer to being attacked from two sides.

The troops brought by Ju Yi this time were the Euphorbia troops, which specialized in restraining cavalry units.

Moreover, this time, in order to deal with Gongsun Zhan's white horse Yicong, Yuan Shao also deliberately prepared thousands of strong crossbows.

Although the White Horse Yicong was incomparably strong, in the face of this existence like a natural enemy, the battle immediately fell into a one-sided situation.

The white horse Yicong was indeed very brave, but in the face of the terrifying power of the crossbow, most of the cavalry only ran a few steps before they were shot and fell to the ground.

Rows of cavalry were on top of the horses, and ordinary wheat harvesters were generally put down.

What used to be an invincible charge now seems to have become a road of no return to death.

In their rear, Gao Gan also launched a charge, and the thousands of other cavalry units that followed Bai Ma Yi Cong into battle were also caught in the quagmire of battle in an instant.

Seeing this, Xia Houlan knew that the defeat was decided, and there was no way to save it.

Gritting his teeth, he led the remaining white horses to break through to the side.

However, evacuating where is so easy to say.

Countless fresh lives, in this short journey, fell forever, never to get up again.

Gongsun Fan led the troops to meet Xiahou Lan's troops, and his reaction speed was already quite fast.

And the speed of the cavalry was already very fast, and it didn't take long to come to the left of the battlefield.

However, he had the same fate as the White Horse Yicong, and in the process of charging, he was beaten by a strong crossbow.

Thousands of cavalry were quickly wiped out, and even Gongsun Fan himself was shot into a hedgehog by crossbow arrows.

Gongsun Fan suffered a loss because he didn't expect Bai Ma Yi to fall so quickly, and even until he died, he didn't know that just the kung fu of tea, 10,000 Bai Ma Yi Cong's troops were wiped out.

Only after Xia Houlan led hundreds of remnants to break through the encirclement, he disappeared.

Everything that happened here was clearly seen by Gongsun Chan and others above the head of Panhe City.

Everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to make a single sound.

Gongsun Chan looked at the chaotic battlefield with a grim face.

Today, only the thousands of cavalry left in the melee with the high-ranking troops were still resisting stubbornly.

Because the troops of the two sides were already entangled together, Yuan Shaojun did not dare to use a strong crossbow to attack again.

But after those ambushers put down the strong crossbow, they were so brave that they didn't have to use the strong crossbow when they were not lethal.

"Lord, lord! Lord, look! ”

Zou Dan raised his hand tremblingly, pointing into the distance, and the horror in his words was overflowing.

Everyone followed the prestige, only to see a black oppressive shadow appear in the distance.

They only had to look at it to understand that this was a sight that could only be seen when a large number of troops were advancing.

Gao Ran sat on top of the war horse, his serious face was unwavering, and his eyes were always staring at the Panhe city wall in the distance.

This time to attack Gongsun Zhan, Guo Tu's strategy was completely used.

The first to send troops to provoke was actually a kind of cover-up and lurking Juyi's Euphorbia troops in batches to the designated ambush sites.

At the same time, the provocative troops were suspicious, and the battle with Gongsun Zhan's troops was more defeated than victorious, which fueled the arrogance of Gongsun Zhan's army.

Finally today, let Gao Gan lure out Xiahou Lan's troops, and annihilated Gongsun Zhan's trump card troops, the White Horse Yicong, in one fell swoop.

And at the same time, Gao Ran led Yuan Shao's army out of the nest and attacked Panhe City, preparing to complete the battle.

Gongsun Chan deserved to be a veteran on the battlefield, and he quickly calmed down.

Commanding the soldiers and horses in the city to defend the city, one order after another was conveyed in an orderly manner, and the entire Panhe Castle immediately became operational.

Under the influence of Gongsun Zhan, Panhe Castle gradually settled down from top to bottom.

It's just that the soldiers at the bottom are a little nervous because many of them are experiencing a large-scale battle for the first time.

Gao Ran saw the busy appearance of the soldiers and civilians up and down the Panhe City Gate, nodded slightly, and said:

"Yes, this Gongsun Chan really deserves his reputation."

While he was talking, two people quickly followed behind, it was Guo Tu and Ju Yi who had just rushed over.

Gao Ran turned around and saw the two people who came over, and said:

"General Juyi, it's just in time!"

"General!" Ju Yi saluted a little unnaturally, he had always been arrogant, and it was very awkward for him to salute like this.

But he was very afraid of Gao Yan, so he appeared so awkwardly.

"General Ju Yi, how long will it take for your first battalion to take the city?"

Gao Ran glanced at Ju Yi lightly and asked lightly, as if asking a trivial matter.

Ju Yi had a cruel smile on his face, and his arrogant personality was fully revealed:

"Don't worry, the general can rest assured, in this kind of small city, it won't take an hour, and we will definitely open the city gate for the general!"

A smile appeared on Gao Ran's face, and he nodded and said:

"Let's do it, I'll lead the army into the city in a while!"

"General Gao, just look at it!"

Ju Yi bowed his hand to Gao Ran, turned and walked towards his troops.

Ju Yi has two ace troops in his hands, one is the one who once fought with Gao Shun's trap camp, and there is no difference between victory and defeat, and it is also the one who has just eliminated Bai Ma Yicong.

The other is called the Xiandeng Battalion, as the name suggests, in any battle, this unit will always be the trump card unit that charges at the forefront and opens up the situation for the troops behind.

The strength of the first battalion is even stronger than that of the halberds.

All members are also infantry.

Siege warfare is one of the best things to do in the first camp.

With the attack of the first battalion, the large force of Yuan Shao's army also launched a supportive attack in the rear.

On the other three walls, other troops of Yuan Shaojun's army also attacked.

Gongsun Zhan's army was already less numerous than the other party.

The previous annihilation of Bai Ma Yicong and Gongsun Fan's troops made Gongsun Zhan's troops halved again.

Now the defenders in the city can be said to be stretched.

In addition, a large part of the defenders of the Iwagawa were new soldiers, but with the protection of the city walls, they still had an absolute advantage.

But in the face of these, Ju Yi and his first campers were fearless, braving the sky full of flying arrows and rolling stones, and launched a charge without fear of death.

Under their fierce attack, it took only half an hour for the head of the city to fall, and within an hour, the gates of Panhe Castle were slowly opened.

Tens of thousands of Yuan Shaojun swarmed in and fought fiercely with Gongsun Zhan's army in the city.

Two hours later, Gongsun Chan saw that he could not break through, and finally set himself on fire and died.

His family, including his son Gongsun Xu, was killed in battle from his younger brother Gongsun Yue.

At this point, Gongsun Zhan, who was based in Youzhou, was completely wiped out.

After eliminating Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao's strength grew by leaps and bounds, and he could almost go neck and neck with Lu Bu's strength.

Today's battle began in the morning and continues until now, and the sky is a little darker.

In a hidden valley, Xiahoulan woke up slowly.

He was surrounded by dozens of guards.

In the previous battle, he was desperately trying to break through under the protection of his personal guards.

Finally rushed out from the side of the battlefield.

wanted to return to Panhe City, but after finding out that Gongsun Fan, who came out to greet him, was eliminated, he quickly changed direction and fled.

Finally, after coming to a valley, Xia Houlan fainted because of his anger.

The guards on the body don't know what to do.

I can only guard by his side, waiting for him to wake up.

Xia Houlan was still a little groggy when she woke up, and asked:

"Where are we now? Panhe, what's going on with Panhe? What about the lord? ”

The guards beside him didn't dare to speak, their eyes were red, and they lowered their heads.

Xia Houlan's heart sank, he struggled to get up, and after taking two steps, his eyes widened and he looked in the direction of Panhe City.

In the distance, the flames of Iwagawa Castle soared into the sky, almost staining half of the sky red.

Seeing this scene, Xia Houlan already knew the outcome of the matter.

In the tiger's eyes, two lines of hot tears rolled down, and Xiahou Lan sat down on the ground in despair.

One of the guards next to him bit his lip and asked:

"General Xiahou, we, what should we do?"

Xia Houlan was stunned, and her eyes gradually regained their brilliance, but the pain in her eyes seemed to be indissolvable.

After a long silence, he slowly spoke:

"Go to Bingzhou, where my brother Zhao Yun is there. Let's go to him, avenge the Lord in the future, and hate our brothers! ”
