Volume 6 The Heroes Race the Deer Chapter 60 The Eagle's Blitz

Under the gray and gloomy sky, gusts of wind swept up the unique sand and dust of the north, as if a thick curtain was enveloped between heaven and earth. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoAfter a month-long drought, the sand and dust became so thick that even the most discerning person could hardly see hundreds of paces away, only a dark dusk.

And at this moment, outside Jixian City, there is a sound of killing, everywhere Jin Ge blood shadows, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are in the sky in the yellow sand to start a cruel battle of forgetting life and death, but seeing that the sky is dark, the blood is flowing like a river, like a tragic scene of purgatory.

A few months ago, Dong Zhuo, under Li Ru's advice, resorted to a last resort to incite civil strife among the princes of the world. He forced Liu Yu to be the governor of Youzhou, Ji, Qing, Xu, and Yan, but he worshiped Gongsun Zan as a former general, and sealed Yihou, and faked the four states of You, Ji, and Qing. Although this edict contradicts itself and is honestly ridiculous, the meaning of provocation is even more clear. However, for Gongsun Zhan, who has always regarded the unification of the four northern states as his ambition, this undoubtedly added a strong reason for him to eliminate Liu Yu again, not to mention, Liu Yu and Gongsun Chan have long been incompatible because of their differences in political views.

In fact, in this edict, Dong Zhuo's intentions are far more vicious. Because whether it is Liu Yu, who supervises the affairs of the six states, or Gongsun Zhan, who supervises the affairs of the four states, there is a Jizhou in the state affairs supervised. And Jizhou is the territory of Nanying and Yuan Shao, the strongest among the northern heroes.

Among the four groups in the north, Nanying is the strongest and is recognized by the Son of Heaven as the emperor's uncle, although Gongsun Zhan regards it as the biggest rival, and has always been in line with Yuan Shao to check and balance, but he will never take the initiative to attack the Bohai Navy, and Yuan Shao is cheaper in vain. If he wants to gradually expand his strength and eventually unify the north, Liu Yu is the only target that Gongsun Chan can choose at present. But for the operation on Liu Yu, Gongsun Chan was not without worries.

Liu Yu is not only a leader-level figure in the Han family, but also the nominal superior of Gongsun Zhan, and has a reputation for loyalty and frugality in the north and even in the world. Rashly attacking him will inevitably lose the support of the people, arouse hostility from all sides, and even intensify the conflict with the alien races in the north. Even with Gongsun Zhan's ruthlessness, he had to wait for an opportunity all the time.

In order to solve the many contradictions with the foreign races in the north, Liu Yu held many meetings to urge Gongsun Chan to immediately stop the active provocation of the alien tribes, but although Gongsun Chan was stationed and Jixian County was only more than 100 miles away, he always said that he was sick and could not go, and sneered in his reply to Liu Yu, which finally aroused Liu Yu's anger.

Half a month ago, Liu Yu ordered the general mobilization of the whole army and issued an ultimatum to Gongsun Zhan, asking Gongsun Zhan to immediately go to Jixian County to report on his work. Gongsun Zhan was right in this regard, and he not only accused Liu Yu of being arbitrary and fornicating with other races in his fierce letter, but also comprehensively summoned his subordinates to consolidate the city defense, and put on a posture of sworn resistance.

Under the continuous provocation of Gongsun Zhan, Liu Yu finally lost control, and under the condition that he had not yet completed the army of 40,000 troops, he urgently mobilized an army of 40,000 and gathered outside Jixian County, preparing to attack Gongsun Chan in one fell swoop. However, he was indecisive, and before the whole army was marched, he held a one-day oath meeting, requiring the soldiers not to harm innocents, not to destroy people's houses, and to kill only Gongsun Zan alone, which wasted the opportunity for a surprise attack.

On the other hand, Gongsun Chan has already been waiting for him, and the soldiers, horses, food and grass are ready to stop. After receiving the whistleblower that Liu Yu was engaged in Gongsun Ji, Gongsun Zhan did not wait for Liu Yu to be completely opened, so he took advantage of the night to kill all the way to the ground, showing the true character of a generation of heroes.

This move replaced defense with offense, which completely broke Liu Yu's original deployment and caused the whole army to advance and retreat. Not only were the 5,000 forward troops defeated halfway, but the 35,000 main force was directly blocked under the city, and they didn't even have time to return to the city to set up defenses. Not long after the start of the war, although Gongsun Zhan's army was only 25,000, he killed Liu Yu's army and retreated, and it was about to collapse on all fronts.

"Array! Array! All archers, attack formation! A general of the Gongsun army rode a war horse and galloped repeatedly from the rear battle array, and let out a series of shouts: "The enemy army under the city will be defeated, and General Gongsun has an order, ready to launch a siege battle!" ā€

"Ho! Ho! The archers of the Gongsun Army couldn't help but lift their spirits, and their roars shook the sky. They only began the battle with a few waves of arrows at the enemy, and before they could get enough of it, they were forced to interrupt their long-range strikes because their cavalry and infantry were in a state of confusion with the enemy.

As the archery swarm slowly began to move, the infantry phalanx also began to move, and the siege ladders were lifted out. At this time, even the most stupid Liu Yujun soldiers saw that something was wrong, although the battlefield was changing rapidly, and it was common sense for the situation on both sides to be reversed, but the attacking side fell into a defensive position under the base camp, and the side that was about to be attacked even completed the long-distance transportation of siege equipment....... not only there were traitors, this was a complete conspiracy.

"Huh!" The general of the Gongsun Army, who was directing the preparation for the siege, suddenly felt something different, and a slight air flow seemed to pass through his ears.

He was stunned, but a long arrow came from behind him, and was ten paces away diagonally in front of his horse.

"Do you want to die!" In a rage, he frantically turned his horse's head and shouted at the phalanx of archers behind him, who were slowly moving forward: "Someone! Drag out that daring man who doesn't listen to orders and shoots arrows indiscriminately! ā€

All the archers stopped in amazement, looking at each other....... thousands of people were marching to the sound of the drums, and not a single one of them noticed any movement by their comrades who violated military regulations.

"What?" The general glanced at the surprised looks of his subordinates, and a strong uneasiness suddenly rose in his heart, and his gaze couldn't help but quickly cross the phalanx and look towards the dust in the sky farther back.......

His pupils suddenly shrank as he seemed to see tiny black dots approaching in the dust.

"Enemy attack!" He shouted desperately: "The whole army turns back to meet the enemy!" ā€

Before the archers came to their senses, a sound like rain hitting lotus leaves suddenly sounded in the phalanx.

"Ahh The screams came one after another, and a large number of Gongsun Army archers were shocked, and they fell straight forward....... revealing the trembling arrow feathers behind them.

In the dust, groups of cavalry in black armor galloped out, like a demon army killed from the ghost domain.

They shot the last rain of arrows, immediately drew their long knives casually, and rushed into the Gongsun army formation to kill and slash.

"I didn't hear the sound of hooves....... the corner of the Gongsun general's eyes jumped wildly, and he suddenly saw the horses of the black-armored cavalry...... The four hooves of all the horses were wrapped in thick cloth.

Suddenly, he saw a big banner behind those black-armored cavalry, and he couldn't help but finally scream: "It's the Bohai Navy!" ā€

"When! While! While! The rapid sound of gold pierced through the thick sand and dust, and instantly spread throughout the audience.

The attacking Gongsun army immediately stopped the offensive, and the banners flew up, and slowly retreated. The cavalry of the Gongsun Army, which was almost about to be chiseled through by Liu Yu's army, also quickly began to detour towards the main formation.

Liu Yujun was like an amnesty, and the tide rushed towards the city of Jixian County. In just half a day of the battle, they dropped from 40,000 to less than 30,000, and if there was another hour, they would be completely defeated, and those who could withdraw to the city would not be left behind....... if the strong man could not close the city gate in time, Gongsun Zhan's army would have been fighting into the city.

"Southern Eagle...... You deceive people too much! Gongsun Zhan galloped up a mound and looked at the Bohai Navy cavalry who were calmly retreating after killing their own archers. His clumsy and slender face was uncontrollably distorted, his slender eyes were full of awe-inspiring coldness, and the man's name burst out of his mouth.

"Pass the order! Reorganize the White Horse Battle Formation! He said fiercely: "A tooth for a tooth!" ā€

Soon, the white horse cavalry completed the reorganization in the movement, and they pursued in the direction of the retreat of the Bohai Navy without stopping. The fruits of the victory were imminent, but they were taken alive and caused by a small force of cavalry that had traveled long distances. This is tantamount to a resounding slap in the face for the Gongsun army galloping across the battlefield in Youzhou. Only by killing all enemy troops can the honor of Gongsun's army be restored.

Even the scheming Gongsun Chan would never be able to swallow this bad breath, and he still firmly believed that the main force of Nanying was still at war with Yuan Shao, and this was just a small force of the Bohai Navy to contain it. It is not too late to break through this small army first, and then free up your hands to clean up Liu Yu.

Gongsun Zhan, who was extremely angry, would not have thought that he underestimated the determination of the Bohai Navy and underestimated the ability of the Bohai Navy.

In the Bohai Navy, many generals and veterans were the remnants of a hundred battles in the northern battlefield to break the Yellow Turbans, and they were no strangers to the geographical environment of Youzhou, so they were able to make a roundabout journey all the way and avoid most of the passes. The rangers and scouts of the Bohai Navy are unparalleled infiltration troops in the world, they cleared most of the beacon towers and enemy scouts with blitzkrieg along the way, and even pretended to be the scout cavalry of the Gongsun Army to continuously transmit false information, resulting in a serious lag in the intelligence collection of the Gongsun Army, and the main army of Nanying even left many enemy messengers far behind, so that Gongsun Chan is still ignorant of the Bohai Navy's large-scale attack, and he will soon pay a heavy price for it.

"Kill!" The sound of hooves was regrettable, and a group of white horse cavalry let go of their horse speed and frantically killed in the dust.

"Where righteousness goes!" One of the leading generals shouted wildly.

"Life and death! Yes...... Kill! Thousands of loud voices shouted together. And the formation of the entire cavalry also began to adjust miraculously in the shouting, slowly changing from a plane to a fan, showing its powerful combat power...... It was precisely because of this elite cavalry unit that Gongsun Chan won many battles in the wars with the northern peoples and established the status of a prince.

In the dust not far away, a Bohai admiral in charge of the rear of the palace was listening intently in the gallop, listening to the enemy's slogans word for word, and he let out a soft laugh: "What white horse is righteous? A bunch of fools, I'm afraid the old men don't know where they are! ā€

Sharp arrows rang out from the front, and he couldn't help but look nervous: "The death zone is coming!" ā€

He quickened his horse, and began to overtake his cavalry one by one, while pulling out an iron whistle from his waist and blowing wildly. The next moment, there was a whistle in response from his front and back, left and right.

"That's it! Brothers, you're ready! His expression was relieved: "All of them, turn left and right!" ā€

In the midst of the continuous whistle sound, the black torrent suddenly split in two, circumventing a semicircle to the left and right, avoiding the area directly ahead. If it is in a clear view, this strange behavior must attract enough attention from the pursuers behind him...... It's a pity that on this cruel battlefield covered with yellow sand, there is no if!
