Seeing that Gongsun Chan led the Youzhou Iron Cavalry and the remnants of the White Horse Yicong had already left the battlefield, while the main army was firmly besieged by Zhang He and Gao Ran, and only a few foot soldiers retreated, Gan Ning sighed lightly and said: "There are only more than 20,000 left in the more than 100,000 troops going south, and Gongsun Chan is not a fiasco in this battle!" ”

"The main reason is that I didn't expect Yuan Shao to get an ancient battle array like the Xuanwu Battle Array, otherwise Sun Zan would not be so powerless to fight back in this battle." Lu Xun said lightly.

"Xuanwu Battle Array?" Gan Ning frowned and said, "I always feel as if I've heard of it somewhere." ”

"Xingba, you should be General Gao Shun."

"Oh, yes, it's General Gao." Gan Ning suddenly remembered and said: "A few years ago, he told a certain person that there was a record in his family's military book, but there were only a few fragments. By the way, how do you know? ”

When Lu Xun heard this, he looked in the direction of Qingzhou and said inexplicably: "One of the inheritances of Wu Anjun, it's really a pity that it fell into Yuan Shao's hands, it is estimated that Cao Cao should be mad now." ”

"Such a battle formation is really terrifying, increasing the combat power of the army several layers out of thin air, directly turning the tide of the battle, no wonder General Gao has always been obsessed with it. I really don't know how we should deal with Yuan Shao in the future! Gan Ning said with a little worry.

"My Jiangdong 500,000 elites, even if Yuan Shao is twice as strong, not to mention that our Jiangdong is not without a similar battle formation." Lu Xun's eyes flashed.

Gan Ning looked at Lu Xun speechlessly, and complained: "By the way, how do you know something that I don't know as a general of Dachu Erpin?" Your Majesty is too partial to you. ”

"It's not that Your Majesty is partial to me, I also heard about this matter from Kang Chenggong." Lu Xun explained helplessly. As Yuan Shu's righteous son, he was indeed favored by Yuan Shu, and he was told a lot of secrets before leaving, but this matter was indeed known to him in advance.

"Kang Chenggong? How could he, a man who is engaged in scripture and righteousness, know such a secret? Gan Ning was puzzled.

"Xingba, don't forget, Jinling Academy is managed by Kangcheng Gong. There were soldiers involved in this matter, and Kang Chenggong also learned about it by chance. ”

"Okay, tell me, what's going on?"

Lu Xun hesitated and said: "I don't know the specifics, but I only know that this matter is related to the Xiliang Ma family, and now the battle formation deduction and integration have almost been carried out." ”

"The Ma family? General Fubo's horse aid? ”

"Almost, the White Tiger Battle Formation, one of the four battle arrays in ancient times, is said to be very powerful, and it should be no less than the military array in front of you."

"Four battle formations? And what about the remaining two? ”

When Lu Xun heard this, he looked in the direction of the Central Plains and said thoughtfully: "The back hand of Gaozu, the inheritance of Guangwu, maybe this is fate." ”

The corners of Gan Ning's eyes twitched: "No." ”

"Okay, these are not what we have to think about, you better prepare first, Gongsun Chan is about to cross the bridge." Lu Xun stopped talking and looked in the direction of the boundary bridge.

"What is there to prepare for, Yuan Shao has prepared it for us. Speaking of which, Gongsun Zan is really lucky, every time he fights with Yuan Shao, Lao Tzu protects him like a son. Gan Ning glanced at the dozens of fireships behind him.

"No way, who made Yuan Shao our enemy!"

When Gan Ning and Lu Xun arrived before, they found Yuan Shao's fireboats on the river that they were going to use to cut off Gongsun Zhan, and Gan Ning led hundreds of soldiers who were proficient in water to dive directly under the water and capture these fireboats. It's also thanks to their arrival, otherwise Gongsun Chan may be even more difficult to end this time.

Yuan Shao looked at Gongsun Zan and led the army to feel that he was on the edge of the boundary bridge, but the fireboat that had been prepared before did not appear as promised, and his face suddenly became ugly.

"What's going on? What about fireships? ”

The judge looked at the uninhabited river from afar, and said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid something happened." ”

"Gongsun Zhan has a rebellious temperament, he would definitely not have thought of this, and he can quietly take down the fireboat we prepared, it is estimated that it was Yuan Shu's hand." Xu Yu said.

"It's Gan Xingba again! It's a pity that he didn't kill this thief in the first place! Yuan Shao gritted his teeth when he heard this.

At this time, his army had already spread out like a net, and he was ready to wait for the fireship to burn the Boundary Bridge and Gongsun Chan retreated and had no way to flee, but it was finally destroyed.

"Your Majesty, if Gan Xingba masters the fireboat, our army must not cross the bridge!" Xun Chen said.

"Order Zhang He to lead the infantry to speed up the march and block the boundary bridge as soon as possible!" Yuan Shao said to the judge.

"No!"

Gan Ning's trouble, it is impossible for him to completely destroy Gongsun Zhan's tens of thousands of troops according to the previous plan, and he can only be aggrieved to maximize the results of the battle.

After Lu Xun saw Gongsun Chan leading his army through the boundary bridge smoothly, Zhang He rushed to the boundary bridge but pursued Gongsun Chan without the bridge, but blocked the entrance of the boundary bridge instead, and sighed lightly: "It seems that Yuan Shao was not carried away by the victory, and it is impossible to trap him." Gan Ning, let's lead the army forward directly, how much can be saved, these are all bargaining chips for negotiating with Gongsun Zan later. ”

Gan Ning nodded, and then led the navy to step forward, showing the banner, and ordering the soldiers to shout the slogan of the Great Yan reinforcements, and responded to the desperate Gongsun Zan army on the shore.

......

Gongsun Zhan seemed to have lost all his courage, and after crossing the boundary bridge, he did not stop at all, and galloped all the way north. After his mind calmed down, he ordered his soldiers to dismount and rest, and sent scouts to inquire about the news.

Looking at the nearly 10,000 iron horsemen around him, Gongsun Zhan only felt that his heroic spirit was gone, and his eyes were dilated: "Guorang, what do you say I should do?" ”

"Your Majesty, although our army has been defeated, there are still tens of thousands of soldiers in Youzhou, and it is not impossible to fight Yuan Shao after two years of cultivation. Now it is only a temporary defeat, and your Majesty must not be discouraged. Tian Yu didn't know how to persuade at this time, so he could only comfort.

"A momentary defeat." Gongsun Chan smiled bitterly: "If Yuan Benchu is defeated in this battle, he will indeed be defeated for a while, but if he is defeated, he will be defeated." There are only tens of thousands of soldiers in Youzhou, how can they stop Yuan Shao's 300,000 army! ”

"Your Majesty, if we are really invincible, we are not without a way out." When Tian Yu heard this, he opened his mouth to comfort Gongsun Zhan, but in the end he said something like this: "Yuan Shao is not good at cavalry, he is unable to control the grassland, and the northern frontier is extremely wide and can be arbitrarily allowed by His Majesty, even if His Majesty is defeated, he can wait for the opportunity to go south here." ”

Gongsun Zhan's defeat is no way back. This time, Gongsun Zhan transferred almost all the elites to the south, and there were only more than 50,000 guards left in Youzhou, and they were basically foot soldiers, lacking training, how could they compete with Yuan Shao's more than 200,000 troops? If Yuan Shao doesn't stop the pace of attacking, he can hold out for half a year.

"Are you letting me survive in the north by herding sheep and cattle like those Xianbei people?" Gongsun Zhan said angrily: "I am the Son of Dayan, how can I be the same as those alien races? As a Han Chinese, even if I die, I will die on the territory of the Han people, and I will never be in the company of those foreign races! ”
