"Lord, the earthen fortress in front of the bridge has been broken, and General Zhang and General Xu are driving the cavalry into the army at a rapid pace, trying to outflank the enemy fortress behind Dazhai!" On the tenth day of the first lunar month, in the morning, a feather galloped over, shouting military intelligence from afar.

"The two of them were in too much of a hurry...... Never mind...... Let Gao Shun follow closely across the river. Gongsun Xun under the umbrella looked at the clear situation on the river, but frowned slightly. I can see clearly here that the enemy camp is there, and there is a wooden fence outside, and outside the fence there is a wide trench of most of the men who are dedicated to defending against cavalry, and the infantry must echo it. ”

"Whoa!" Before he could dismount, the feathered knight turned his horse's head and left.

"Ming Gong, the clear water is narrow, and the water has not risen in early spring, it is easy to build a pontoon bridge, so you might as well let people build a few more pontoon bridges." Xun Yu on the side suddenly spoke.

"Yigong and Jeongnam do it! Each of you shall lead ten thousand armies to build a bridge from five miles on the left and right sides, and do not go from this bridge, for the province will be crowded. Gongsun Xun immediately gave an order, and he was accustomed to Xun You's always coldly putting forward some very simple but crucial suggestions, and he became more and more respectful.

The judge and Han immediately took the order and left...... They also saw the crowded scene on the bridge and the slow pace of the march.

However, after a while, seeing the two henchmen and subordinates divide their troops and leave, Gongsun Xun looked at the battle that had broken out in the camp on the east side of the river, but he became more and more angry on the horse: "You say, why am I so confused, I didn't build a pontoon bridge from the beginning, so that the army crossed the river so slowly? If there were several bridges at the same time, just now they could ride out and rush directly into the opponent's village, why not like now, the cavalry crossed the river scattered and was shot back by other people's arrows......"

"It's a common thing." It was rare for Tian Feng not to attack his own Ming Gong, but also frowned. "Human common sense, there is obviously a complete brick and wood hard bridge in front of them, they just want to take it, who wants to build a pontoon bridge in the cold water in early spring?"

"The prince doesn't have to blame himself too much." Lu Fan on the side also put down his hand to build a pergola, and said with a smile. "Although I have not been in battle for many years, I still have some eyesight, and when I took the bridge just now, he had no desire to fight, but only threw arrows at the base, and did not dare to fight hand-to-hand, and then once our cavalry broke through the earthen barriers, they gave up the riverside defense line in a hurry and retreated into the village; At this time, guarding the village is also a similar situation, obviously only a few soldiers and horses of our army crossed the river, but they only released arrows according to the village, and did not dare to go out of the village to respond...... Even so, if you want to come to this village, it will probably be broken in one fell swoop, right? ”

With such arrogant words, all the military divisions and generals around Gongsun Xun's umbrella cover did not refute it, but twisted their heads more...... However, this time, everyone didn't just give face to Lu Changshi, who was actually above 10,000 people under one person, not because there was a child named Gongsun Ding on the side who needed to save his father's face, but the situation was indeed the case.

Everyone is accustomed to using soldiers, how can they not see that the enemy's fighting spirit is withering?

To put it bluntly, it was just that after the Liang Dynasty city was defeated in a brave battle, Yuan Jun was discouraged...... The soldiers are the soldiers who escaped from the rout, the officers are also the officers who escaped from death and got back, and there are even those who were captured and killed and then released, what kind of courage do such officers and soldiers have to fight?

They are not for some lofty ideals, and no one gives them land when they come here to fight...... And in addition, Yuan Jun has a huge problem that they formed the army too late, lacking a sense of belonging and core cohesion in the camp, and the reason why they followed Yuan Shao was only because the people at the top followed Yuan Shao, and they did not get enough positive feedback from this camp identity.

So unless the villagers and their hometown are behind and they need to protect their families and defend their hometowns, it is really hard to imagine that these Yuan soldiers will be willing to work hard at any moment.

In fact, not to mention Yuan Jun, even the entire Yuan Shao camp has such a feeling of forcibly patching together and suddenly gathering.

The rise is so fast, once it really reaches that point, the collapse will also be very fast.

And Gongsun Xun's previous actions lie in this, all he wants is to push it at the apex of Yuan Shao's self-righteousness, as long as he pushes it, it will be logical to increase his efforts from time to time on the key threshold in the future, and there is no need to pursue too many military achievements.

Things seemed to prove this in turn, and it was only about half an hour before the fierce battle on the other side of the river came to an end with a magnificent raid...... On the north side, that is, on the left flank, a group of ironclad cavalry suddenly dismounted, jumped over the trench with their shields, and raided to a wooden fence regardless of life and death. Immediately, a large force of cavalry surrounded a large banner directly broke into the village, slashing and slashing, even causing the entire battalion of Yuan's army to lose control.

In the end, it was impossible to tell whether it was the dispatch of troops and horses to block and cause the collapse, or whether it was a complete rout at the beginning, anyway, after Zhang Zi Daqi entered the village, but in a moment, the fierce battle that had lasted for most of the hour before ended here.

Of course, the so-called 'fierce', 'struggle', and 'disregard for life and death' are all just the perspective of Gongsun Ding, who is not yet 12 years old this year, who combs a nondescript but easy-to-care ponytail hairstyle, rides on a pony, and is nervously and excitedly watching the 10,000-level battle that he has seen for the first time in his life.

However, compared with Gongsun Ding's perspective, the people under his father's umbrella are a little more interested...... Because they can see more clearly, the reason why it took more than half an hour to break through this Dazhai is really not how the opponent's combat strength or tactics are, but that the soldiers and horses crossed the river from the only bridge too slowly, and Xu Rong and Zhang Fei squeezed the road in the early stage, so that they rushed over a full seven or eight thousand cavalry, and then faced the other party's Dazhai but there was not much way, and then Gao Shun and Zhang Nan led three thousand infantry to cross the river, including more than a thousand armor soldiers with large shields and spears, and rushed straight to the front of the village, and then caused the defensive negligence of the Yuan army in the camp. Only then was Zhang Fei's flaw peeped at and succeeded in one fell swoop.

But no matter what, the victory was certain, and it was visible to the naked eye across the river, and countless soldiers of the Yuan army who were guarding the village abandoned the village and fled further east to the east...... Just looking at the number, there are no less than seven or eight thousand.

However, at this time, Xu Rong and Zhang Fei's move of leading the cavalry to cross first showed its benefits - in fact, after being preempted by Zhang Fei, Xu Rong, who had not yet entered the village, simply led his cavalry to turn east to pursue and kill the fleeing enemy.

"Junhou, the two generals Gao Shun and Zhang Nan led 3,000 foot soldiers to rush forward, and General Xu Rong and Zhang Fei led 5,000 and 3,000 horsemen to outflank them left and right, the enemy is vulnerable, and Hedong Dazhai has changed hands!" Sure enough, the Feather Guardian came to report in a moment. "General Xu Rong, please move across the river, take a break, and boost the morale of the army......"

"Bullshit!" Gongsun Xun was speechless, not happy and angry. "Did he think I couldn't see him leading his troops to chase the enemy without permission? But at this time they will use me against ......"

"Prince, some trivial things are not worth mentioning, and you have to cross the river." Next to him, Lu Fan hurriedly persuaded him. "In the final analysis, General Xu, as a front-line general, always has the right to dictate himself, at this time, it is nothing more than that the clear water is too narrow, let's see at a glance, this is the official command of the prince, he is pursuing it privately...... But in fact, from the perspective of military law, General Xu is not at fault, and as for the impatient and aggressive atmosphere in the army, we can talk about it later. And as long as you are cautious and don't make mistakes, your rashness will turn into an indomitable ......"

Gongsun Xun exhaled, thought about it, but had nothing to say, and then ordered the Chinese army to cross the river.

In this way, amid the cheers of the three armies on both sides of the strait, the troops got out of the way and watched General Wei's umbrella cover and 2,000 white horses pass through this permanent bridge with a slightly arched brick and wood structure to the opposite bank of Qingshui, which is only 100 paces away, and stationed in the enemy's Dazhai that had just been captured, leaving only Cheng Pu to organize the army to continue to advance.

"How's it going?" As soon as Gongsun Xunfu got off the horse, he asked Gao Shun, the only one left in the camp at this time, just now, Zhang Fei couldn't help but chase the deserter away...... The latter is not only a war exploit, but also a soldier's private capture.

This kind of thing, without a military order, cannot be stopped at all.

"It's okay." Gao Shun was as silent as ever, but he said a word. "The standard configuration of 10,000 people is what should be there, and there is no one who shouldn't."

"Military rations, ordnance, and military supplies are readily available?" Gongsun Xun frowned and asked. "There's nothing too much forage to start a fire?"

"Not bad." Gao Shun's face was still as usual. "It has been inspected, and there is no deliberate fire, and the amount of forage and military rations is ordinary, but the daily wooden battalion must be careful about fire prevention......"

"What are the prince's concerns?" Lu Fan finally heard that something was wrong. "Could it be that you are worried about deception?"

"When marching and fighting, but there are blockages, you must be worried and vigilant, and you can't call it any deception or deception...... As soon as I opened my mouth, Su Qing knew what I meant, not that he understood my temper, or that he had my words in advance, but that he was serious, and he pretended to be these things in his heart on weekdays. Gongsun Xun replied casually, and then went to the camp general's platform. Who is the defender? ”

"Lu Xiang." Gao Shun replied cautiously again. "The two generals Zhang Xu have already gone to chase after them."

"No wonder." Gongsun Xun sighed faintly while climbing the steps to the stage. "Lu Xiang is from Yanzhou, and he should be led by Yanzhou soldiers, and Yanzhou soldiers and horses suffered the heaviest losses as the main force in the Liang period before the first battle, and he led such a group of defeated soldiers, no wonder he was hit by Su Qing, and he was ...... to you" Speaking of this, Gongsun Xun has already been on the platform, and then looked around, only to see the smoke and dust billowing in the east, and he couldn't see the situation of Lu Xiang's defeated soldiers and Xu and Zhang at all, but he frowned more and more. It's just that why did Yuan Shao let Lu Xiang, a defeated general and a person with mediocre ability, guard Qingshui? ”

"Maybe it's no one, right?" Dong Zhao, as the intelligence chief, couldn't help but speak at this time. "After the defeat of the Liang period, it was not just a military setback...... Ju Yi rebelled and was killed, Li Jin also had a sentry before saying that he might go to the Dunqiu area to block Guan Yunchang, and also to protect the back road for the army, Wen Chou died in battle, Yu Ban was captured, and he was thrown in Yecheng, who else could Yuan Benchu use? ”

"Perhaps?" At this time, someone had already found a Tai Lieutenant chair from the camp and put it in the platform, but Gongsun Xun continued to look around left and right, and his doubts were unabated, but he didn't mean to sit down at all.

"Actually, there is another possibility." Dong Zhao couldn't help laughing. "Have you ever thought about it, since Yuan Benchu can't be a director, who will be the person who presides over the important affairs of the army? Not to mention anything else, if those Yingchuan people were in power, especially Xin Ping and Guo Tu, how could they let go of Lu Xiang, who ruined their future with his words that day? In the city of Liang that day, the last words that Lu Xiang said for Chen Gongtai are now known to the world! ”

"That's a lot more reasonable!" Gongsun Xun put away his doubts a little, and then turned around, but saw the bridge from afar, and then asked casually. "This bridge connects Qinghe County and Anping County, which is the key point of Guangzong, and it must be counted on this bridge for two points, can it be named?"

"There must be a name, because all the boundary bridges must be brought forward by the state, and then the two counties will work together to do it." Dong Zhao replied casually. "And if the state and county officials gather, they will inevitably erect a monument and publish an article to commemorate it, but this bridge is a long time old, and I am afraid that the name has long been lost, otherwise the military intelligence report will not call it the boundary bridge......"

Gongsun Xun withdrew his gaze from the bridge, turned to his ignorant son and many staff members and generals who were happy because of their easy victory, and then looked at the smoke-filled realm to the east again...... But he was speechless for a while, but his eyes gradually sharpened.

The first to react was Lu Fan and Lou Gui, the two people who had been with Gongsun Xun for the longest time, the two looked at each other without saying a word, and stood solemnly, and then the one who became nervous was actually Gongsun Ding, who was only eleven years old, and was of course the most sensitive to his father's emotions, especially although the father and son had not seen each other for two or three years, they had been living together in Changping earlier...... The child couldn't hide his expression, and he was even more noticed by the people present, so at this point, the tension finally spread to the entire general stage.

"Prince!" After a period of unbearable silence, in the cold wind of early spring, Lu Fan did not give in.

"Have any of you ever heard of the method of the Xiqiang Shield?" Gongsun Xun asked rhetorically when he heard this.

"Wait for you!" It turned out to be Gao Shun who spoke. "Shun was in Xihe for a long time when he was young, and he had many entanglements with the Qiang people, and he knew this, which was a kind of infantry formation of specialized cavalry......"

"What's going on?" Gongsun Xun asked. "Be clear."

"Returning to the king, this array is simple to say, and the operation is simple, but it is extremely courageous...... It must be known that no matter where it is, the cavalry is the crown of soldiers and horses in the world, there are more people and horses, advance and retreat like the wind, it is needless to say that they shoot from a distance with a bow, and the melee combat with a spear is also higher and longer, and there are more war horses to charge and trample on it. Gao Shun really said a few more words. And if you want to deal with cavalry, the only thing that can really cause rapid damage is the bow and crossbow, but the crossbowman can't withstand the trampling of the horse's hooves at all, so he needs to be protected by a spear array, and the spears are numerous, too bulky, and can't stand the cavalry's long-range shots downwind, so there must be a shield...... But with both spears, bows, crossbows, and large shields, what cavalry would directly collide with such a large array? So he had to lay down the shield! ”

"How?" Gongsun Xun was expressionless and asked more questions.

"At first, it was just the spearmen and the big shieldmen cutting the slope together, there was a gentle slope in front, and behind the slope they raised their shields along the hillside to hide the soldiers, and the cavalry charged here, and behind the slope they held the big shield with their spears, and the soldiers held still, until they crossed the hillside, stepped on the shield and crossed behind them, and the shield soldiers would immediately raise their shields forward, and the spearmen would take their spears and raise them backwards, so that the rear army could not retreat while blocking the rear army, and the crossbowmen in the rear could shoot nearby...... The most extreme one is to dig a ditch, the shield spearmen ambush in the ditch, put the big shield on the ditch, the crossbowmen have no cover behind the ditch to lure the enemy, and even hide in the ditch, only to wait for the horse's hooves to step over the shield, and then bravely raise the shield and rush out...... That's it. ”

Hearing this, all the surrounding generals were shocked, whether it was the crossbowmen charging at the horses without cover, or the shield spearmen hiding under the shield and letting the horses' hooves trample on the top of their heads, it was unthinkable.

Seeing that Gongsun Xun was awe-inspiring, Gao Shun had no choice but to say two more sentences: "Junhou, the Qiang people all say that this formation focuses on courage and not being afraid of death, but in my opinion, it is too easy to not be afraid of death...... The reason why there is this array is that the poor Qiang tribe has no horses and no armor, that is, bows, crossbows and arrows are extremely valuable, and the cheapest is the lives of the children of the clan, so there is this kind of desperate but miraculous things, and before these people set up the formation, the first people to fight are fathers and sons, crossbowmen believe that the shield spearmen will not miss the fighter, and the shield spearmen believe that the crossbowmen will not scatter in a hurry, which can be fatal with one blow! It's like once the mutual trust in the army reaches the point of trusting each other to the point of life and death, what kind of battle can't be won? ”

"That's a good point." Gongsun Xun finally responded. "Is Yuan Jun okay?"

"The Li Clan's disciples may be able to give it a try." Gao Shun immediately replied again. "The few hundred clans in the headquarters brought by Ju Yi before may be able to do it, and no matter how many of them are, even if they are in the forbidden department, their subordinates think they won't be able to do it...... Therefore, if the prince and the marquis are worried that the two generals Zhang and Xu will be lured into the enemy and fall into the strategy of ambushing the shield, it is not impossible. But ......"

Gongsun Xun finally withdrew his gaze from the periphery, but he looked at Gao Shun for a long time before he spoke: "No matter what, the first whistle rider called them back, because if there is really a fraud, this is a flaw anyway, but the bigger flaw is not there...... Su Qing, you said, if the whole army of Yuan Jun is here, how far will it take to hide it from being discovered by us? ”

Gao Shun was instantly shocked, but replied slowly: "Our army arrived here in a hurry, so he crossed the river directly to chase, and the sentinels all stopped at Qingshui, and the situation on the east side of Qingshui was that some sentinels were temporarily sent out today, and they were all just sent by Xu Zhang and the two generals from the boundary bridge after taking the village, and they were just out of five miles at this time...... If I come to lead the troops to set up an ambush, the 70,000 people, taking advantage of the spring grass before the grass comes out, are separated by five miles, and build a half-zhang high earthen fortress to shelter it...... Anyway, when you set off at night, you're only lurking for a while! ”

Between the two answers, they suddenly only heard a commotion in the army, followed the sound and looked up, but saw the upper reaches of the Qing River, that is, four or five miles due south, suddenly there was a fire, and the smoke of the day was clearly visible.

"Did Zhengnan burn some warning by himself, or was the pontoon bridge over there burned by the enemy?" Lou Gui's face was gloomy.

"At least we know where the enemy is coming from!" Gongsun Xun smiled coldly.

"Did the prince mean that the whole enemy army was about to rush here?" Lu Fan finally couldn't bear it anymore. "And it's only five miles away, and it's just a matter of time? That being the case, please also ask the prince and the prince to retreat to Hexi quickly! ”

"Abandoning the army here?" Gongsun Xun glanced at the other party coldly. "The cavalry was led away by the lives of 10,000 defeated troops, and maybe they have already been scattered and difficult to collect, and even if they see the beacon fire now, they don't know when they will be able to get here...... At this time, there are only three or four thousand foot soldiers in the village, two thousand righteous followers, and five or six thousand people against 70,000 people. At that time, how can our army still trust me? I'm afraid that's the best way to think on the other side, right? ”

"Even if the prince wants to defend the camp, at least he should let the prince return to Hexi first!" Dong Zhao, who was in charge of intelligence, was also sweating on his forehead.

"Bullshit!" Gongsun Xun didn't think so, and directly burst into foul language, but turned around and sat on the captain's chair that he hadn't looked at. "If he can survive for a while, then this battle will be won, what is the difference between him in the east and west of the river? And if I fail here, then he is a young son, can he really be anything? And in such a situation, I can only do my best to let Cheng Demou send troops here! At this time, sending one more team of soldiers will give you one more chance of winning, and sending him over now will inevitably interrupt the movement of troops on the bridge, how can you delay the vitality of thousands or even tens of thousands of people for a boy? ”

Dong Zhao was about to say more, but Gongsun Xun simply pulled out the broken blade and pointed at Gao Shun upside down: "Ling Ming Yinyi is looking for an opportunity to fight from the village, anyway, the cavalry should not be trapped in the village." Su Qing held this blade and was in charge of the camp! Then hurriedly sent people to find Zhang Yide and Xu Bojin, and then shouted Demou across the river, asking him to stay on the west bank and step up the transportation of troops, sending crossbowmen, spearmen, and large shield soldiers...... Then let him prepare multiple pontoons downstream at the same time to prepare! In short, this battle can only be from Hexi to Hedong, and then there are those who return to Hexi, there is no forgiveness! ”

Gao Shun leaned over to take the knife, everyone was shocked, and the surrounding righteous servants were also busy executing the military order.

However, at this moment, Dong Zhao, whose face was dark, knelt down directly regardless of everything: "Junhou! Not to mention the matter of returning to Hexi, but the prince can take the prince to fight on the periphery, and we are greatly favored by the prince and marquis, and we can guard the prince's umbrella and guard of honor here! ”

Gongsun Xun was a little stunned, but he couldn't help but smile, and his expression softened: "That's how Han Sui fought in Weishui that day, what was the result?" ”

Immediately, the people no longer paid attention to the strategists and generals below with complicated expressions, but patted their knees, and smiled softly at their eldest son, who was only eleven years old: "Ah Ding, your aunt let you follow me to see the military, today is the right time, come and sit on my lap and watch how the elders break the enemy!" ”

Gao Shun led the generals to kowtow and leave, and all the staff, from Lu Fan and Lou Gui down, all stood awe-inspiring, while Dong Zhao was stunned but finally had nothing to say...... Because he suddenly woke up to the fact that the most difficult thing to change in this world is people's character, even if it has been a full eight years, Gongsun Wenqi is still the same Gongsun Wenqi who crossed Hutuo on a white horse that day.

When they are weak, they are angry!

This is just like the courage to judge Nanzhi, Guan Yunchang is arrogant and compassionate, and Zhang Yide's righteousness is the first; is also like Yuan Benchu's inferiority and arrogance, Gongsun Bogui is arrogant and narrow-minded, and Sun Wentai is light-hearted...... There are some things that really can't be changed for a lifetime!

The army was hastily arranged, and the upstream direction was a little easter, that is, to the southeast, and as the smoke from the river was ignited, a moment later it was already full of smoke...... Everyone no longer doubted that Yuan Jun was really ambushing here, and the only one that did not match Gongsun Xun and Gao Shun's guess was that the distance was a little farther, and it should look like seven or eight miles away, and it seemed that the other side was also cautious.

But no matter what, it is almost conceivable that the other party will first retreat with the whole army, and then let 10,000 soldiers as outcasts to lure away the cavalry of the Gongsun Army, as if he wants to fight for life with all his strength and exchange for a chance of a big victory!

And for now, for now, they've succeeded.

"Such a simple ploy has succeeded?" Feng Ji was fully clothed, with an iron armor crown, but he was sighing with a knife on his horse, and around him was a dense Yuan army, which was heading in the direction of the boundary bridge at this time.

"10,000 lives as bait, to exchange the lives of thousands of foot soldiers, in exchange for me, I will also be tricked!" Guo Tu, who was also wearing armor, was immediately on the side, and sneered for a while. "It's just pity that Lu Xiang and his 10,000 soldiers...... He must not have thought that Xu Yu was a saying in public during the day, and another statement in private at night, and he probably thought that there were 20,000 elites of Li Huizhi and Yu Wenze waiting for him twenty miles ahead! Thought we'd be caught between two sides! I really don't know what he thought when he died and realized that he was given his life by the 'usable person' that Chen Gong said? ”

"That being said, the courage and ingenuity of this strategy are also impressive!" Feng Yuantu shook his head more and more when he heard this. "A complete boundary bridge actually delayed the speed of the whole army's advance...... As for General Lu Xiang's office, if we win quickly, perhaps his men may not be completely wiped out. Therefore, you must quickly capture this village! ”

"What about the capture?" Guo Tu pouted slightly towards the river, and then still sneered. "Since the river was inadvertently exposed, Gongsun Xun and his Chinese army may have left a long time ago, or they will not leave, and they also have 2,000 righteous servants by their side...... It's ridiculous that we can't even get together thousands of cavalry, and we can't expand the results if we can win, but we can only retreat in a hurry, maybe we will have to bear the casualties of cavalry pursuit again in the retreat, that is, we will withdraw safely, how can you explain to those soldiers and horses from Anping Country in Fengyuantu? In short, this battle is to capture the camp, and who wins?! ”

"Brother Gongze, don't talk about this at this time!" Feng Ji sighed. "In such a situation, it is enough to invigorate the morale of the army if you can eat one of the other party, but it is impossible to inspire the morale of the army, and at least let the people of the world know that General Wei is not a god of war, and he cannot win in battle, and in the future, Hebei will not be able to support it, and he will return to Qingzhou and Yanzhou, and he can slowly unite the princes of the Central Plains to rise again...... As for the soldiers and horses of Anping State, they were blocked and coaxed on the way home, so they were naturally given an explanation! ”

After that, he finally couldn't support the words of his colleagues, and immediately stepped forward to continue to use the words of homecoming to boost morale.

In this regard, Guo Tu looked around, smiled and did not speak, but he also beat the horse to keep up.

In other words, although Guo Tu kept saying this and that, he was still extremely convinced of Xu Yu's plan:

First of all, one is to convince the other party's courage, the courage to use 10,000 people as bait, and he is completely ready to abandon these 10,000 lives, which Guo Tu also asked himself.

The second is the exquisite design, relying on the transportation restrictions of a boundary bridge, using a psychological blind spot that can hardly be called a strategy to create a local comparison of the absolute superiority of the Yuan army.

The last one is to survive in the dead, and change the situation by moving the battlefield, fighting between Qingshui and Zhangshui, the battlefield environment is extremely unfavorable to the Yuan army, and once it is moved to the side of the boundary bridge, the east of Qingshui, not only further caused the carelessness of the Gongsun army, retained the retreat of the Yuan army, but also further aroused the fighting spirit of some of the Yuan army - this time the vanguard is the Anping soldiers and horses brought by Feng Ji and the plain soldiers and horses brought by Cui Yan, as well as the few remaining Qinghe soldiers and horses in the army. And now in this situation, the soldiers and horses of Anping State have been deceived and agitated a little, and they have become returning soldiers who are eager to go home but the road is blocked, while Qinghe and Pingyuan soldiers and horses are desperate soldiers to defend their homes and defend the country.

In fact, considering that the defeated army is really unusable in the short term, Yuan Jun actually only dispatched 50,000 troops this time, and it was the 20,000 fresh troops who took the lead and made the main force, as for Li Jin, he really led the remaining 20,000 Yanzhou soldiers and horses south to Dongjun, and let him use local soldiers to stop Guan Yunchang in his hometown, which is definitely more suitable than using it in Jizhou!

But no matter what, after the 80,000 army was divided into three, the remaining 50,000 prepared troops definitely had the confidence to crush the forward of the Gongsun army that crossed the river - they calculated very clearly, at this time, even if Hexi continued to send troops in the process, the 50,000 army would face 5,000 foot soldiers and 2,000 white horse followers at most, and the latter was very likely to protect Gongsun Xun and a group of Chinese soldiers to avoid the battle downstream.

"Although the camp didn't dare to leave anything that ignited the fire, it was wooden after all," Hundreds of steps away, on a tall special open-top carriage, Xu You was explaining the military situation to Yuan Shao on the carriage, and there were also Xin Ping Xin Zhongzhi and the newly reused generals Jiang Qi and Meng Dai on horseback. "And our army will bring all the real fire-starting things on the body, and then the forward Anping will have 10,000 soldiers and horses, 3,000 torches, and 10,000 bunches of dry grass, which is enough to ignite Dazhai! The battle is over in an instant! At that time, as long as you are careful of the lured cavalry to turn back and hold out until the afternoon, you can calmly retreat and go to Ganling! ”

"But what about the boundary bridge?" The condition turned around, and Yuan Shao, who was a little perked up, was about to nod, but suddenly remembered a troublesome question. "Do you want to take it first? Otherwise, once the war is postponed, and the soldiers and horses continue to cross the river, this battle may not be able to get rid of the other generation and leave calmly, right? After all, the other party has the advantage of cavalry, and when they retreat at night, the cavalry will bite and hold on, and there will be a steady stream of reinforcements behind them, and it is likely to become a rout! ”

"That's right." Xu You pointed to the river and sneered. "The key to this battle is to take control of the boundary bridge immediately...... But it is not necessary to take it, and it is possible to destroy it! ”

"Ziyuan has already made arrangements?"

"Didn't you think that the south side of the trial was really a mistake?" Xu Yu was vicious for a while. "And it has come to this point, it is useless to think too much at first, and it is useless for me to talk more...... It's just trying to give it a try, and the so-called doing your best is just obeying the destiny of heaven! ”

Yuan Shao immediately shut up.

The army roared forward, crossed the earthen ramparts, raised the banner in the sky, and then rushed straight to the boundary bridge, and in the land of eight miles, the army strode forward, and the forward was trotting lightly, so the fastest one was only two or three quarters of an hour before he had already seen the situation of the bridgehead camp after the fall, but he was surprised and angry for a while, and then returned back.

"Back to the long history!" The forward general Liu Yan sent people to report back to Feng Ji. "The enemy pulled down the wooden fence and demolished the camp tent himself, and then lit a fire in the camp himself, as if to call for help from the cavalry......"

"I've seen it!" Feng Ji is in a hurry. "But since they have lost the wooden fence, we have no room for fire, and we have no shelter for ourselves, and we are not at a loss! Ordered Liu Yan to let the front army throw down the dry grass and torches, spare the camp and leave, and prepare for the encirclement battle! Be sure to make it in one fell swoop and succeed before the enemy cavalry arrives! ”

Lingyu Tiger Guard wanted to speak and stopped.

"Speak!" Feng Yuantu's eyes are red.

"There is a guard of honor umbrella cover on the middle general platform in the battalion!" Feather Tiger Guard said with some difficulty. "Hundreds of steps apart, some people have sharp eyes, see clearly, there are quite a lot of people with high armor and high crowns there, sitting in the middle of the white horse in the arms of a ten-year-old child, pointing at our army, talking and laughing! In addition, two thousand white horses were clearly visible, cruising north of the camp, as if to prevent our army from outflanking ......"

Feng Ji was dumbfounded, and then he was overjoyed, and even his voice was so sharp that he trembled: "Tell Ming Gong and Xu Zi behind you that this news is far away, and then let ...... Then let the whole army of Anping Army in front accelerate forward! ”

The tiger guard remained on his knees.

"What else?" Feng Ji was still excited to prepare to fight the horse and hurried to the front of the battle to watch in person, but he had to stop the horse. "Let's talk about it together!"

"There's nothing else, it's just that the number of soldiers and horses on the other side is also a little unexpected, and the configuration of troops is strange." The Tiger Guard continued to speak bitterly. "In addition to the two thousand righteous soldiers and horses on the bridge, there are only three or four thousand foot soldiers in the Chinese army, and most of them are crossbowmen......

Feng Ji didn't bother to listen to the words anymore, so he directly whipped the war horse and rushed forward, but Guo Tu, who had finished listening on the side, was hesitant like this tiger guard, and finally turned around and went to Yuan Shao's flag.

However, Feng Yuantu's good luck did not end here, just when he was desperate, he rushed to the front Liu Yan's side after a while, just verified that the military situation reported by Hu Wei before was correct, and before he could speak, he saw a sudden smoke rise in the river, and then the fireworks actually moved down the river and went straight to the boundary bridge.

You don't have to think about it to know that this should be the method of 'controlling the bridge' prepared by Xu Ziyuan before.

Therefore, under the increasing joy, Feng Ji exhaled again and again, and reconfirmed the unobstructed military situation in front of him because the wooden fence was dismantled and the camp tent was unloaded...... Before, he was only four or five hundred steps away from the umbrella cover of Gongsun Xun, and the three or four thousand foot soldiers were backed by inferior rammed earth two zhang high, or simply a pile of earth, but it turned out to be a crossbowman in front, faintly making a crescent moon array, obviously with the intention of shooting and destroying the attacking soldiers in front.

But this is meaningless, because there are too many soldiers and horses on his side, and the other party only has 2,000 righteous servants cruising behind at this time ready to help...... It's completely possible to send troops forward, charge in waves, and once you rush to the crossbowmen, everything will be fine!

But......

"Call Xu Ziyuan to hurry to the front of the battle!" Feng Ji's face turned red, and he shouted directly after struggling to do so. "Let him recognize his old friend!"

"Why hasn't the other side attacked?" Gongsun Xun hugged his eldest son and laughed for a while. "Do you want Xu You or Yuan Shao to come forward and recognize me?"

"It's best to recognize that it's dark and recognize Zhang Xu and the two of them returning." Rao is Lu Fan didn't say anything against it before because he knew Gongsun Xun too well, but he was already sweating profusely at this time, so much so that he couldn't stop looking at the noon sun overhead.

"That's unlikely, but maybe you'll be suspicious and pause." Lou Gui said solemnly. "The trouble now is that I never expected that the other party would have a fireboat going down the river...... No wonder Zhengnan was so warned! ”

Gongsun Xun followed the sound and looked to the west, only to see several fireboats with towering firewood and grass connected to each other, horizontally under the boundary bridge, and at this time the fire was smoking...... It is conceivable that even if the fireship burns out quickly, the boundary bridge, which is a mixed structure of wood and masonry, will inevitably be seriously damaged, and it is difficult to say whether it will be passable at that time.

However, long before this, Gongsun Xun guessed this section, and then asked Cheng Pu to quickly build a simple pontoon bridge downstream, thinking that if there was no obstruction, half an hour would be enough to pass...... And further downstream, Han Dang, maybe it will be faster, and he still has cavalry there.

As soon as he thought of this, Gongsun Xunfu looked at the southeast again, where a tall horse had appeared at the forefront, and the person in the car could be seen from afar that it was an old man!

I hope that after Yuan Shao and Xu You recognize each other, they will hesitate for a moment...... After all, as long as it's useful, there's nothing wrong with the empty city plan!

"Is that him?" Feng Ji asked solemnly.

"Yes......" Yuan Shao was dumbfounded. Obviously, the fire has been lit upstream, why doesn't he go back to Hexi? Is it okay to follow Yicong downstream? ”

"That's true." Xu Yu sighed. "Isn't this the character of Gongsun Wenqi? The more you try to embarrass him, the more he will make you die......"

"You're saying there's bound to be a deception?!" Yuan Shao was shocked, and sweat overflowed his forehead. "Could it be that Zhang Fei and Xu Rong received the military order in advance, and they have already collected their troops and returned, just to the south...... Wait for us to attack, and then you will have another assault on 10,000 horsemen?! ”

"Are they immortals? Under the pursuit of the previous big victory, can you still say that you will accept it? "Xu You is also sweating profusely, but his face is hideous." Gongsun Xun must have some killer moves, he is not the kind of person who will really indulge his own life! The so-called risk has always been relied on...... It's just that it can't be Zhang and Xu ......"

"Could it be the kind of internal response in our army, the whole army?" Guo Tu asked.

"That ......" Xin Ping also wanted to join the discussion.

"Shut up!" At this moment, Feng Ji, who was waiting beside the car on horseback, was furious, and directly drew his knife and slashed at the copper pattern on the wheel, and the sparks flashed and frightened everyone to stop talking. "At this time, still wondering? What's the use of being suspicious? In my opinion, his person must be just a suspicious tactic in a desperate situation! I respect the courage of his grandson Wenqi, but I will not delay the fighter plane for this! ”

The crowd fell silent.

"I'm the general of the chariot cavalry, the affairs of the shogunate!" Feng Ji suddenly turned his head and roared angrily at the Zhu Zhu next to him. "Pass my order, the width of the battlefield is limited, don't waste time to send archers to shoot at each other, with 10,000 Anping soldiers and horses as the main attack, Liu Yan, Jiang Qi, Meng Dai, the three of you each lead 2,500 soldiers, the front row abandons the soldiers to raise their shields, and the rest abandon their shields and weapons, form a dense formation, and I don't care about life and death, and take turns to rush forward...... Guo Tu led Huwei to supervise the army, and he was ordered to retreat and behead the latter! ”

The three generals were awe-inspiring for a while, and hurriedly bowed down to pay their respects, even Guo Tu also hurriedly solemnized, but Liu Yan, the third general, couldn't help but raise his head and ask: "Long history, the three generals each have 2,500 soldiers, who comes first and who comes last?" ”

"Don't you know how to count?!" Feng Ji is cold and cold. "Ten thousand people, two and a half thousand each, naturally four generals will take turns...... And two thousand and a half of them are naturally my leader, and since I personally lead the troops, I will naturally be the first to attack! You are behind, don't let it go! ”

The generals became more and more shocked, and Yuan Shao also hurriedly got up.

But Feng Yuantu didn't give Yuan Shao a chance to speak at all, but ordered sharply: "Xu Ziyuan, this is your strategy, you will be here to preside over the overall situation after I send troops!" ”

After that, his people didn't care about the reactions of everyone under Yuan Shaoda's banner, so they took their own knives and went to Anping Army to boost morale. However, at this time, the boundary bridge was burned by his own side, and then what to say in the words of homecoming, in the face of more than 2,000 living faces, Feng Yuantu inevitably felt a little difficult in his heart, and after his prancing horse galloped left and right twice in front of the formation, he simply raised his knife and shouted to kill!

Kill! Kill! Kill!

The army was tens of thousands, and the sound of killing suddenly arose, shocking both sides of the strait, and then Feng Yuantu personally commanded, leading the more than 2,000 Anping soldiers who were cut off to the Jiangtai where Gongsun Xun was, and it was indeed the latter's hometown to fight away.

Moreover, his people personally moved forward in the military formation, which made many soldiers around them feel warlike, and the sound of killing was still the same when they charged.

Two thousand five hundred foot soldiers, just as Feng Ji had arranged before, a few people in front of them raised their shields and abandoned their weapons, and the rest abandoned their shields and raised their spears and swords, forming a dense formation and struggling forward...... This lightness makes them charge extremely fast! And the distance of 100 steps outside the camp, and the distance of 300 steps inside the camp is the crescent moon array of the crossbowmen, so almost in the blink of an eye, more than 2,000 foot soldiers have crossed the broken boundary of the camp!

Feng Ji was among them, Le Ma trotted along, only to feel that the horse's hooves were suddenly crisp several times, but he didn't have time to think about it, Gongsun Xun was visible to the naked eye, but he simply raised his knife and shouted, calling on the whole army to kill the general with him.

The striker has entered the range of the Gongsun Army, and unexpectedly, his generation actually did not open his bow, and this made Feng Yuantu more and more excited, and continued to charge with his sword! Even regardless of life and death, he grabbed the front line!

But just about thirty paces away from the crescent moon formation of the crossbowmen in front of him, suddenly, the battlefield turned elbows and armpits!

Gongsun Xun held his son in one hand, and suddenly raised his other hand, so the left and right sides sounded the gong in unison, and countless soldiers in front and behind the stage also roared:

"Up!"

Not to kill, not to shoot, but to rise!

And with this earth-shattering roar, at the outer edge of the fence of the camp, less than a hundred paces away from the Yuan army's great array, suddenly two full rows of large shields and spears jumped from the ground! The incident happened in a hurry, and even the scattered Anping soldiers who were charging behind were completely overturned.

On both lines, the big shields were organized outward, facing the panicked Yuan army, while the spearmen were inward, fighting towards the more than 2,000 Anping soldiers who were even more panicked.

Between the shield hand and the spear hand, a high-character banner was erected that Yuan Jun will never forget!

At the same time, the thousands of crossbowmen who were in front of the stage no longer hesitated, and they all shot at the front to panic Yuan's army. Poor Feng Yuantu was already conspicuous, and because of the idea of repaying Yuan Shao's kindness, he rushed forward, so in an instant, he was hit by dozens of arrows?

In the midst of the lightning and fire, Changshi, another cavalry general who had just ordered the whole army, fell to the ground and died at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve.

Yuan Shao stood on the wheel, and when he saw this scene from afar, he felt that his heart was like a knife, his head was splitting, and he almost fainted in pain.
