The edict sent the Xishan general, and the right soldier of Qiutunlong.

Because of the journey, when Gongsun Xun's main army arrived at the border of Wei County, it was already late autumn...... The grass and trees are withered and yellow, the leaves fall back to their roots, and the autumn pond that has skyrocketed before will gradually dry up from this time until a new rotation will come next year.

However, due to the cycle of natural climate and the laws of agricultural production, the army in northern China was in the best condition at this time.

The flames of war are ignited, accompanied by the fall of autumn leaves, and the autumn soldiers on the battlefield are by no means vain.

On the border of Wei County and Zhao State, Yuan Shao, who was backed by the nineteen counties of Qing, Yan and Hebei, invested 100,000 people in one go, which can be called huge. However, after Gongsun Xun gathered the elites of nearly 20 counties and countries of You, Ji, Ji, and Sanfu, there were a total of 50,000 soldiers and 30,000 auxiliary soldiers, counting the units that were originally on the front line, Guan Yu, Dong Zhao, Zhang Fei and other departments, it actually reached about 100,000 people.

Moreover, because there are more than 20,000 cavalry in the Youzhou army, and even tens of thousands of horses and cattle are deployed as auxiliaries, so in terms of the grandeur and breadth of the military array, it is far more than the other party, which makes the army move forward, and many people in the army are far away, and gradually become bold.

Back to the present, this morning, a few miles southeast of Handan City, when Gongsun Xun flashed from behind Ji Ze to gather the troops from Handan City in a hurry, roughly learned the military situation ahead, and knew that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei actually bit the main cavalry force after Wen Chou's break, and was overjoyed, he also immediately ordered that more than 20,000 cavalry except Bai Ma Yicong should go out of battle, and it was necessary to take the opportunity to kill and injure the main cavalry of the Yuan army led by Wen Chou, so as to create better conditions for the decisive battle...... Then he led the local ministers, high-ranking officers, and cronies who had changed to the white horse, and led the large array of foot soldiers to slowly move forward and approach to the south.

And at noon, when the army arrived not far from the place where the battle had already taken place in front, news came that the 8,000 cavalry of Wenchou's department had been bitten by the main cavalry force of the Youzhou Army and were fighting on all fronts...... As soon as the military situation arrived, in the white horse jungle, everyone was overjoyed.

However, after Gongsun Xun, who was talking to the judge under the umbrella in the center, heard the news, he first looked around, but then suddenly turned around on the horse, stared at the boundless and slow military formation behind him for a moment, and then shook his head for a while.

This action was too deliberate, and when he saw this, he immediately frowned and asked: "Why did the prince shake his head, but where was the arrangement in the army wrong?" Or is there something missing behind you? ”

"Definitely." Gongsun Xun turned around and laughed when he heard it. "It's just that I just heard Zhengnan talk about Yuan Shao's troops, and then I turned around and saw the soldiers and horses behind me, thinking that the number of our army in this battle was not much less than that of the other party, and the military appearance was too grand, so I was a little worried in my heart......

As soon as these words came out, the judge and Dong Zhao looked at each other, Lou Gui and Xun You were silent, but Tian Feng couldn't help but ask for everyone: "What kind of words is this, is it a bad thing that there are more soldiers and horses than the other party?" In the final analysis, the war is nothing more than the victory of the strong over the weak, and the victory of the more than the less! ”

"Yuan Hao only knows one and doesn't know the other, and there is a limit to how strong or weak he is." Gongsun Xun sighed with emotion, and simply responded immediately. "Below 100,000, the most important task of the art of war really lies in how to deploy troops, so that the local forces can attack more and less; And once the soldiers and horses on both sides are more than 100,000, it is not that the more the stronger, but the more and the weaker...... Think about it, since ancient times, counting from the battle of Muye of Zhou Wu and Shang, the battle that really determined the general trend of the world, except for the battle of Changping, it is difficult to say, all the rest, is it won by the few soldiers? Is it that those who have less than 100,000 soldiers are better than those who have more than 100,000 soldiers? ”

In addition to the cavalry generals who were ordered to lead the cavalry to attack, many civil and military officials and generals on their sides heard these words and thought about it carefully, but they all changed color.

Because, although Gongsun Xun's words sound unreasonable, if you think about it carefully, what you said is not wrong at all!

Since ancient times, in the major battles that have directly affected the direction of Chinese history, except for the Battle of Changping, where the strength of the army is doubtful, all the other battle cases are really counted as one, all of them are won by those with fewer soldiers, and all are defeated by those who cross 100,000 soldiers and horses:

In the battle of Muye, Jiang Taigong's 3,000 tigers rushed away, and hundreds of thousands of slaves defected, bleeding and drifting;

In the battle of Julu, the princes all watched from the wall, and Xiang Yu alone broke the cauldron with tens of thousands of Chu troops and broke the Qin army of 400,000;

In the battle of Pengcheng, Xiang Yu's 30,000 elite cavalry attacked urgently, and the first battle drove 560,000 troops of the princes' alliance;

In the battle of Jingcheng, Han Xin's 10,000 new soldiers defeated Zhao's army of 200,000;

In the battle of Kunyang, Liu Xiu's righteous army was only 20,000 together, but it was able to defeat the 420,000 Xinmang army in one battle......

And this has already happened, it is known and heard by the people of Xianpei, Dong Zhao, Cheng Pu, and Gao Shun, but what they don't know is actually more than that...... In another time and space, the victors of the three decisive battles of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, the Cao army in the Battle of Guandu, the Sun-Liu coalition army in the Battle of Chibi, the Wu army in the Battle of Yiling, and even the Eastern Jin Dynasty Beifu Army in the Battle of Weishui, Li Shimin's troops in the Battle of Tiger Prison Pass in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and the Tang army in Li Jing's First War to destroy the Turks, in the end, almost all of them were won by a small number of troops, and none of these victors invested more than 100,000 troops at one time!

"Dare to ask the prince, why is this?" After being stunned for a moment, Cheng Pu, the chief general in the army who didn't understand what survivor deviation was, couldn't help but ask.

"It's simple, but it's really useless to have more soldiers and horses." Gongsun Xun replied with a smile, and responded half-truthfully. "The decisive battle of a county, one hundred thousand people at a time has already come to an end, and if it is delayed, then logistics supply, military management, command and distribution, and even local water and soil will not be able to bear it...... This is not to say that more soldiers and horses cannot be forcibly deployed and gathered in one place, but these extra soldiers and horses may not be able to participate in the war, not to mention, but will affect logistics and delay command a lot, and in terms of victory or defeat, it will definitely do more harm than good. ”

"I see," Dong Zhao listened to Gongsun Xun's sophistry that he didn't know whether it was true or false, but he suddenly woke up, and couldn't help but smile on his horse. "The prince didn't think he had too many soldiers, but he thought that Yuan Benchu had too few soldiers and horses......"

"Yes, in fact, in terms of the population of the county and the arsenal reserves that I or Yuan Benchu have led, the army of 100,000 is really easy. Only Yuan Benchu knew that he could only defeat me by quantity, but he was still able to stay sober, and did not blindly gather troops in Wei County when the army was sufficient after the autumn harvest, but I underestimated him......" While speaking, Gongsun Xun looked at the smoke and dust that was already faintly visible in front of him, and listened to the neighing of the war horse that could be faintly heard, and sighed slightly, but he directly reined in the horse, turned to a mound and high ground, and the surrounding staff members followed, but a bunch of middle-level officers and military officials immediately dispersed under Cheng Pu's signal, The command troops were stationed along the formation around the hillock, and on both sides, Zhang Nan and Jiao Toucher each led 3,000 foot soldiers to advance together, which was the avant-garde.

And when Gongsun Xun stood on the hill, he pointed to the faintly visible cavalry melee scene in front of him, and continued to say: "However, my words are not just to praise Yuan Shao, the most important sentence is to hope that the monarchs can think about it in reverse...... 100,000 people are enough to set the general trend of the world! And if a prince has the capital to support an army of 100,000, or simply a tens of thousands of troops to fight to the death, then no matter what the situation in the world is, how strong and weak it is, he has the qualifications to win the world...... In this battle, there is no room for carelessness, and although our army is prosperous, we must not underestimate the other side at all! ”

Everyone finally came to their senses, and not to say anything about the absurd remarks that more than 100,000 soldiers would be defeated, their own princes were mainly worried about the arrogance in the army, so they beat one or two in battle, so everyone was solemn, and then turned to the south side to carefully observe the battle situation.

However, everyone looked at it, in addition to being able to see that the battlefield ahead was extremely fierce, they couldn't see the direction of the battle clearly...... This is also something that can't be helped, Yuan Shao suddenly alerted the retreat, but let the two unprecedentedly large armies kick off the battle in a strange mode of chasing the tail on the plain.

On one side were 8,000 cavalry, but behind them there were 30,000 troops forming a chariot formation to respond; On the other side were more than 20,000 cavalrymen who suddenly had to be ordered to rush forward...... Both sides engaged in a hurry, and neither had time to make large-scale tactical moves, so they all galloped back and forth on the fertile fields between Handan City and Liang Period City in a unit, and then rode and shot, stabbed, trampled, or lived or died.

This mode of combat made the scope of the battle between the two sides immediately spread to a battle line more than ten miles wide in a flattened mode between Chen Gong's chariot array and the army that Gongsun Xun had just pressed up, and a person stood on a small dirt slope on horseback, it would be strange if he could see clearly what was going on!

But on the other hand, since the onlookers can't even see clearly, what subtle tactical moves can the belligerents make? In the melee, it is destined to mean that those with more soldiers and stronger soldiers will be better than those with few soldiers and weak soldiers!

In this battle, even if Gongsun Xun had just beaten it, everyone still firmly believed that the Youzhou army would inevitably win. After all, 20,000 beats 8,000, isn't this not beyond the limit of 100,000? If you think about it, the old way is still useful at this time.

"Please be careful of surprise attacks!" Everyone stopped on the small slope and looked at the clouds for a while, and Xun You suddenly opened his mouth and reminded in a low voice. "Our cavalry is stronger and more numerous, and Wen Chou should have retreated immediately after a slight obstruction, and at this time, he still risked huge casualties and delayed his departure, which must have a plan...... And in such a situation, the only person who can figure out is Ming Gong himself, and the rest are not to worry! ”

Many people under the White Horse immediately woke up.

"If that's the case, I'm underestimating Wen Chou." Gongsun Xun was also stunned when he heard this, but he immediately didn't care. "But it doesn't matter, this expedition, the generals have their own responsibilities, Cheng Demou is the chief general of our Chinese army, and he is directly responsible for the marching and deployment of the army and divisions; Pang Lingming is the commander-in-chief of righteousness, and the guard lies in him and all righteousness; Han Yuanhei is the central protector and supervises the generals...... I think all three of them are doing well, so why worry about raids? ”

Gongsun Xun This is of course praise, and he observed the forbidden avant-garde troops and the solemn white horse righteousness from the bottom of his heart. But with his words, the three people whose names were mentioned were still as big as a fight, and Cheng Pu had obviously arranged the avant-garde troops, but at this time, he couldn't help but order Gao Shun and his subordinates to be mobilized to come forward and hide behind Xiaopo; And Pound was even more straightforward, directly ordering the righteous servants to inspect their weapons and prepare for battle; It was Han Hao, who also immediately reorganized the Chinese military ritual system.

However, before the three generals could be properly disposed of, in the smoke and dust of the right front, a distance of hundreds of paces, suddenly poured out a thousand-strong cavalry, whose troops covered their flags, and their armor and robes were covered with blood and dust, and they were taking advantage of the chaos of the battlefield to try to cross in front of the small slope at a slightly inclined angle.

At first glance, it looked like a Youzhou cavalry after a hard battle was trying to cross the small slope and go to the other side to find the enemy and engage in battle.

However, when this unit arrived at the flank of the avant-garde troops arranged by Cheng Pu in the right front of Xiaopo, it suddenly raised the flag without surprise under the cold eyes of the generals of the Youzhou Army, and then directly tried to break through the avant-garde troops and charged to the umbrella cover of Gongsun Xun - everyone glanced at it clearly, and the banner behind the first ironclad general was the word 'Wen'!

There is no doubt that this is what Xun You reminded before, Wen Chou risked huge casualties and did not retreat, he simply wanted to do miraculous feats!

Cheng Pu and Pang De almost sneered in unison, and then Cheng Demou took the lead in stepping forward and ordering, asking Jiao Touch, who was in front of the right, to lead his troops to resist the other party, and mobilized heavy troops from behind, ready to hold the other generation; But Pang De turned his head to look at Gongsun Xun and asked for a gesture.

"Mobilize the uprising and go down from the main force." Gongsun Xun glanced at the situation in the distance, and after a little thought, he immediately ordered. "But don't fight, go down and make a detour and come back immediately, and go directly behind Zhang Sima's army on the left......"

Poundden woke up and immediately urged most of the righteousness to go from the lower right, and for a time the white horse was like a forest, but it was galloping like a tiger, and the momentum was extremely strong.

You must know that it was difficult for the attacking army to break through the avant-garde troops arranged by the Youzhou Army, and at this time, seeing the world-famous Bai Ma Yi coming straight forward, there was a faint tendency to gather infantry to swallow their own side, which was even more shocking and indescribable, and it was quite scattered for a while.

However, the general under the banner of the text did not be surprised when he saw that his surprise attack had failed, and even that he was in danger of being surrounded and annihilated, but turned around and cut off his own banner with his own hands to show his determination.

However, with such a move, Pang De immediately turned the horse's head, made a turn in front of the battle line, and directly threw down the more than 1,000 Yuan cavalry in front of the right in front of Xiaopo, and rushed straight to the left.

The Yuan general who cut off the banner turned pale when he landed, but it was completely too late.

In other words, as early as when Baimayi leaned down from the main and Gongsun Xun was stationed on the small slope of the horse for a while, a cavalry force of only more than 100 people had already appeared in the left front of the small slope, but it looked like a Youzhou cavalry that found Yuan Jun's action and turned back to rescue.

And when Bai Ma Yicong completely rushed down and seemed to be about to plunge headlong into the cavalry of the Yuan army, which was more than a thousand people, the cavalry of more than 100 people directly turned their horses' heads, took advantage of the small number of people and the advantage of flexible action to quickly pass through the narrow gaps in the flanks of the avant-garde troops, and rushed straight to the mountain. And if anyone in the Youzhou army knows Wen Chou, they will find that this cavalry general of the Yuan army is simply wearing an ordinary iron armor, but he is in this small team.

Not only that, this Yuan army cavalry of only more than 100 people, almost everyone is equipped with iron armor, and they are by no means idle.

But it's a pity that Wen Chou's wonderful performance is destined to be in vain under Xun You's astonishing advance judgment and the early preparation of the Youzhou army - his troops have not yet reached the front of the slope, and the countless white horse cavalry that just seemed to pounce fiercely have already turned to his flank, and then, with Gongsun Xun waving his hand, Zhang Nan led the left avant-garde troops to close the retreat of this army At the same time, the remaining hundreds of righteous servants who had been prepared were also frontal under the leadership of Zhang Ji, as if they wanted to hold on three sides and annihilate this generation.

Seeing that things could not be done, Wen Chou raised his head and sighed, and actually dismounted and abandoned the army, saying that he was willing to surrender and was willing to be bound! More than 100 ironclad knights, as well as more than 1,000 knights who fell into a desperate situation under the guise of a pretense, were shocked, and many people dismounted and surrendered.

Cheng Pu, Pang De and others surrounded in front, while binding the soldiers, but on the other hand, flying horses to report to their own princes, and Gongsun Xun had already seen Wen Chou lead the crowd to dismount on the slope, and his heart was uncertain, so he could only look at each other and ask for advice at this time.

"The subordinates think they can't accept it!" The trial and matching of the knife is immediate, and it is not to be compromised. "Looking at the scheming of his generation today, it seems that he is a person who has done his best to Yuan Shao, and the surprise attack fails, and he surrenders instead, it is more likely that he is unwilling, looking for an opportunity to approach the prince and marquis, intending to assassinate, or preparing to raise troops at a critical moment, and repeatedly raise troops to surrender...... The decisive battle is imminent, and this generation must not stay! ”

Gongsun Xun slowly bowed his head, thoughtful.

"The subordinates think that they should still be surrendered, and they want to share the old ministry with him, and they will also be high-ranking officials." Tian Feng immediately put forward a suggestion diametrically opposed to his old friend. "The decisive battle is imminent, and the surrender of the general is enough to deter the enemy...... If you are worried about the recurrence of his people, you can drive away after being surrendered, but there is no need to kill them, otherwise how can the people of the world regard the general's mind?! is Yuan Jun in front of him, after hearing about this, will he have the will to mourn the soldiers? ”

Gongsun Xun frowned slightly, he was really embarrassed...... Because he really doesn't believe in Wen Chou, the confidant general who has followed Yuan Shao for a long time, surrenders to him, but what Tian Feng said is also very reasonable!

Killing is a pleasure, and it can also prevent future troubles, but it will inevitably lose grace, and it may even enhance the enemy's fighting spirit; Instead of killing, this man is brave and cunning...... Aunt Gongsun said that Xu Huang is not this person's opponent, Zhao Yundu and this person have won and lost for dozens of rounds, that is, Guan Yunchang and Zhang Liao attacked together, and they relied on a surprise attack to kill him, and looking at today's battle, he should also be a wise person...... So where can you rest assured of this kind of person?

So, in embarrassment, Gongsun Xunfu looked at Lou Gui, Xun You and Dong Zhao again.

Lou Gui and Xun You were silent for a while, Dong Zhao thought for a while but suddenly lost his laughter, causing everyone to look sideways: "It's just a defeated subordinate who can't be used, what's the embarrassment of the prince?" In the decisive battle in Japan, why not return him to Yuan Benchu in public, so that the world can know the princely bearing? ”

Everyone was stunned, but Gongsun Xun was stunned at first, but then laughed.

With the failure of Wenchou's surprise attack and the capture of himself, most of the cavalry of the Yuan army immediately collapsed and fled into the chariot formation behind him, and this opening battle can be regarded as the end of it.

And after a while, the cavalry generals of the front departments also sent Ling Yu armor soldiers to report, saying that the smoke and dust were billowing further south, and Yuan Benchu had personally led the main army to aid Chen Palace, and had already gathered the car array, and the generals in front did not dare to move without permission, and asked for instructions.

Gongsun Xun also immediately ordered to immediately collect the troops, and after the cavalry was broken, he withdrew to Handan, and set up a fortress with the former camp of the Yuan army. At the same time, he also sent Fuzong as an envoy to meet Yuan Shao, and wrote a letter of war to meet for a decisive battle.

Although Yuan Shao was slightly frustrated, and he was a general (he could not determine the whereabouts of Wen Chou), he did not show weakness, and immediately replied to Fuzong, and three days later fought in the middle of Liang and Handan, which is the place where today's cavalry is fighting.

Of course, the two sides also agreed that there were many casualties on both sides today, and that the other side was promised to return to the battlefield to save the wounded, collect the corpses and summon the souls, and not attack each other during the period.

———I am the dividing line that cannot be attacked———

"Wen Chou, General Shao, the late Han Dynasty Yuan clan attacked Taizu, fought in the Liang period, when Taizu 100,000 soldiers suddenly arrived, after the ugly 8,000 people broke off, they fought hard, and finally could not get out, but retrograde to the north, attacked Taizu's Chinese army, and suffered heavy casualties, but more than 100 cavalry trapped in front of the Chinese army...... Taizu liked his martial arts and strategy, but he knew that he could not bend his will, and sighed: 'The three armies can win the commander, but the horseman cannot win the ambition!' Then they agreed to return to the Yuan family, and the ugly side abandoned the army and was bound. - "New Yanshu". The first in the family
