Yuan Shao's army was beaten by Guo Peng and fled in embarrassment before, and if there was no better tactical method of victory this time, Yuan Shao's rule in Jizhou would really come to an end.

It doesn't matter if you are the fourth and third princes, as long as you are killed, everything is over.

Therefore, the people under Yuan Shao's men were also quite nervous, and no one did their best to deal with this battle.

They pinned their interests on Yuan Shao.

Gongsun Zhan, a person from Liaodong, is a savage in their eyes, a savage from Liaodong, can he mix with these scholars?

No, good birds choose trees to perch, good ministers choose their masters, not everyone is qualified to let the ministers follow.

Otherwise, the millions of Montenegrin troops would have won the world long ago.

In a sense, Gongsun Chan is not qualified to compete with Yuan Shao for the world.

Because he has no hope.

But at a certain time, he did have the qualifications to compete with Yuan Shao.

And if Yuan Shao is really dead, killed by him, and Hebei is taken by him, he will have a human hope.

Therefore, for Gongsun Zhan, this is also a battle that cannot be lost.

The battle between the two sides began when the autumn wind blew.

In several outpost battles, Yuan Shao lost all of them, and was defeated by Gongsun Zhan's superior cavalry with classic cavalry tactics, which was difficult to fight, which made the morale of Yuan Shao's army even more low, and there was a situation of desertion.

Yuan Shao frowned and thought hard, unable to think of a way to fight against Gongsun Zhan's superior cavalry.

His cavalry were all new recruits, with little combat experience, and some had experience in defeat and escape.

And Gongsun Zhan's cavalry are all cavalry in the land of the Yan Dynasty, and they have been fighting with nomadic cavalry for many years, and they are proficient in tactics and tactics, which is definitely not something that Yuan Shao's recruits can fight against.

There is no tactical method of fighting head-to-head combat, and it will definitely be defeated quickly.

But where is the way?

The strategists worked together to set a strategy for Yuan Shao to defeat Gongsun Zhan's infantry with infantry, so that his cavalry would not be able to gain a foothold even if he was defeated, but this required a very strong infantry facelift to ensure that Yuan Shao could defeat Gongsun Zhan's infantry army.

Who will play the main role?

At this time, Lu Yi stepped forward.

was defeated by Guo Peng in a battle before, and Lu Yi suffered for a long time before he recovered his spirit, and this time, he wanted to use Gongsun Zhan's blood to wash away the shame.

Through several previous outpost battles, Lu Yi observed the tactical tactics of Gongsun Zhan's cavalry, and had a plan in his heart.

He had lived in Liangzhou for a long time, and he had a good way to deal with lightly armed archers, and this time, Lu Yi had prepared a thousand strong crossbows early, ready to bury the light cavalry team that Gongsun Zhan relied on.

The crossbow is a shooting weapon produced in the early Warring States period, developed to the end of the Han Dynasty, divided into two types: hand crossbow and strong crossbow, hand crossbow can be operated by a single soldier, only the aiming is simple, and the shooting strength is even inferior to the bow and arrow.

The strong crossbow is different, you need to pull the bowstring with both hands, and stomp on the strap tied to the bow with your upper feet, and you can kick the crossbow machine away and use up the strength of your body.

Therefore, the crossbow has a greater shooting power than the hard bow used by the archer, up to twelve stones, the shooting trajectory is low and straight, it does not need to go through a long period of training, aiming at the target, raising it a little higher, and the hit rate is very high.

Lu Yi suggested to Yuan Shao that he should lead his elite soldiers to hold large shields and spears to block the enemy, so as not to let Gongsun Zhan's cavalry succeed.

Then set up a thousand strong crossbows to shoot Gongsun Zhan's cavalry to thwart his cavalry onslaught.

After taking advantage of this, Yuan Shao could order the whole army to attack forward, and he would definitely be able to break Gongsun Zhan's infantry with one drum.

If his infantry failed, the cavalry would have no place to stand, and they would inevitably be defeated with it, and Yuan Shao would inevitably win this battle.

After drawing a big cake for Yuan Shao, it depends on whether Yuan Shao is willing to use it, if Yuan Shao is unwilling to use it, everything does not need to be discussed.

This is dangerous.

"If I lose this battle, I will have no place to stand in Jizhou, what other great things can I talk about?"

At the moment of crisis, Yuan Shao was also very single, desperate.

I don't care! Do!

Koji Yoshi's tactics were allowed to be used, and Koji Yoshiki was overjoyed and immediately began to prepare for this decisive battle.

On September 16, Gongsun Zhan led 30,000 troops to rush across the boundary bridge, lined up his troops, placed the elite cavalry on the left and right flanks, and placed the main infantry in the middle.

Gongsun Zhan's infantry army was dominated by Jizhou soldiers, and Gongsun Zhan had little confidence in them.

Therefore, Gongsun Zhan arranged his most elite and confident Bai Ma Yi from the cavalry team at the front of the infantry phalanx, and led by the general Yan Gang, took the lead in charging Yuan Shao's military formation.

At the beginning of the battle, Gongsun Zhan's cavalry began to move, and the cavalry on the left and right flanks rushed towards the cavalry on the left and right flanks of Yuan Shao respectively, while the white horse Yicong in the middle also rushed towards the Chinese infantry formation of Yuan Shao's army.

Gongsun Zhan's army implemented his tactical tactics, and as soon as the battle began, the cavalry rushed and struck hard, beating Yuan Shao's cavalry to collapse in minutes.

Within a short time of the battle, Yuan Shao's cavalry collapsed, turned around and fled, crying for his father and mother, while Gongsun Zhan's cavalry turned into pursuit.

At the same time, when Gongsun Zhan's Bai Ma Yicong attacked Yuan Shao's infantry army, he met his opponent.

The range and penetration of a riding bow are not as good as that of a rifle bow, where is there a strong opponent?

As soon as the cavalry entered the range of the crossbow, Koji immediately ordered the crossbow to be fired.

Gongsun Zhan's white horse Yicong were all light cavalry, and they never wore heavy armor, and even if they did, they couldn't withstand the impact of the twelve stones of the strong crossbow, so they were covered by a rain of arrows in an instant, and a large number of people died.

In the blink of an eye, Bai Ma Yicong lost more than 1,000 horsemen, and the general Yan Gang was shot dead on the spot and died.

The rout of the most elite White Horse Yicong made the newly attached infantry army behind shake in an instant, and it was about to collapse, and at this moment, Lu Yi led the army to attack.

Lu Yi rushed and struck, and the Yuan army's infantry army attacked in groups, crushing Gongsun Zhan's infantry army, Gongsun Zhan was stunned, and was pulled by the guards across the boundary bridge to flee for his life.

Later, Gongsun Chan tried to gather the defeated troops and fight again, but he could not resist the front of Lu Yi's troops, and Lu Yi led the army to pursue Gongsun Chan all the way to the camp, and cut off the banner of Gongsun Zhan's army and completely defeated Gongsun Zhan.

This battle of the boundary bridge was of great significance to Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao thus got rid of the crisis, regained his prestige with the help of this battle, gained the opportunity to stabilize his position, and marched forward to recover the Qinghe Kingdom and Bohai County, and expelled Gongsun Zhan's forces from Jizhou.

Since then, Jizhou has been completely controlled by Yuan Shao.

However, in this battle, the losses of both sides were not large, and they did not hurt their vitality, but Yuan Shao successfully stopped Gongsun Zhan's southern invasion in this battle, which greatly frustrated Gongsun Zhan's spirit.

Gongsun Zhan led the rout to escape all the way out of Jizhou and returned to Zhuo County, Youzhou, where he hibernated and licked his wounds.

And after winning this battle, Yuan Shao decided to counterattack Gongsun Zhan while recovering the lost ground, and give him a little color.

However, I don't know what the reason is, maybe it was because he was afraid of Lu Yi and was afraid that he would be a master of high merit, so he did not let Lu Yi lead the troops, but sent another general, Cui Juye, to take command of the battle.

The battle is still going on, and no one knows what the outcome will be, but Gongsun Zhan's vitality is still undamaged, and he is still persevering, and the battle for Jizhou between him and Yuan Shao is not over yet.

When Guo Peng learned the news, it was already early October, and Guo Peng was still a little surprised by the news of Gongsun Zhan's defeat, he thought that he had weakened Yuan Shao's strength, Gongsun Chan could not win, and Yuan Shao would be taken away by Gongsun Chan in a wave.

As a result, Yuan Shao still held on.

Gongsun Chan can't do it, it's just a general, and he can't compete with Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao can defeat Gongsun Chan after all, so ......

Let's do this first, always let Gongsun Chan play his role and then leave, Gongsun Chan can still hold on for a while.

During this time, it was enough to clean up Liu Dai and occupy Yanzhou.

Guo Peng touched his chin and thought slowly.
