Chapter 293: Evenly matched
Seeing that Yuan Shao ordered Yan Liangwen Chou to lead the cavalry to confront him, Yan Gang knew that he had taken the lead, and the Jizhou cavalry was not equipped with horses, and he changed the route in a hurry, and he had to suffer a little loss in terms of impact. But it's no wonder that Yuan Shao doesn't have the peerless martial arts like Liu Yi! Although it is only a little opportunity, Yan Gang is confident that it will be turned into an advantage.
In an instant, the two torrents were already intertwined, soldier to soldier, general to general, Yan Gang's long knife flew towards Wen Chou, and Hua Xiong's Banmen knife was aimed at Yan Liang, and the rest of the soldiers also bravely launched the strongest impact on each other, and soon the two sides were killed.
Liu Yi has many tiger generals, and each has its own characteristics, Zhao Yun's rigidity and softness, Tai Shici's speed as lightning, Gan Ning's strength as heavy as a mountain, and the rest of Zhang He, Xu Huang, Guan Hai and other generals are also very brave, and they learn together on weekdays, that is, Yan Gang is also a martial arts advancement, plus the cooperation of several deputy generals, this can be entangled with one of the two heroes in Hebei! Wen Chou as a famous general in Hebei, when there is something extraordinary, Liu Yi did not cross the time and space before he was once a rival to Xu Huang Zhang Liao, the three-edged black iron gun is also impermeable, and his gun is also different from Zhao Yuntai Shi Ci and others, the gun head is huge, and from time to time you can also use the road of the big axe, even if the other party is exquisitely coordinated, it is not afraid, a few people can be said to be a chess opponent, will meet a good talent, and it is difficult to see the victory or defeat in the battle of thirty times.
When the princes were fighting against Dong back then, Hua Xiong was the second only brave general under Dong Zhuo after Lu Bu, not only that, Hua Ziwei's ability to command the army should not be underestimated, in Liu Yi's eyes, he was a type of general with Zhang Liao and Xu Huang! Although he was defeated in the hands of Gan Ning back then, it also allowed him to temper his martial arts and swordsmanship even more, and he wanted to be ashamed, but now he has become a comrade-in-arms.
Yan Liang and Wen Chou are also known as Jizhou, and the subordinates are naturally strong, Qibao Fengzui knife is not full of momentum, Qinghe once joined forces with Wen Chou to fight Liu Yi, that is, that battle made him more sophisticated, sometimes the stimulation of strong enemies is the best driving force for the progress of the generals, when Yuan Shao attacked Langya, Yan Liang had fought with Yanren Zhang Yide for 80 rounds and it was difficult to see the victory, and it was also known that his progress was good, and now he met a master like Hua Xiong, and he was also happy to see the hunt.
These generals are all strong in martial arts, skilled in bows and horses, if they insist on separating the winner and loser, they are only afraid that they will go outside the lily, but now they are not simply fighting each other, and there are thousands of troops and horses fighting around them. Yan Gang and Huaxiong have both led the cavalry for many years, and they are extremely experienced, although Yan Liangwen is not weak, but the Jizhou army is inferior to the iron cavalry battalion and the Xiliang iron cavalry in terms of equipment and quality, and they do not have an advantage in numbers and lose the lead, after a while, Liu Yijun's advantage has been shown, and the position of the Jizhou army has been loosened, and it is difficult for Yan Liangwen to concentrate at this time.
Fortunately, Yuan Shao was a hero in the late Han Dynasty, and he was well-commanded on the battlefield, after the cavalry blocked the opponent's momentum, the Jizhou infantry also slowly leaned up, and the biggest advantage of the cavalry against the infantry was in the impact force, once this premise was lost, although it still had the upper hand, the advantage was not so obvious, Yuan Shao ordered the infantry to march at the right time, and always maintained this certain formation during the march, in today's words, it is forcibly advanced!
At this time, Hua Xiong and Yan Liangwu were difficult to solve the difficulty, Yan Gang had already suppressed Wen Chou with the help of troops and the strength of everyone, seeing Yuan Shao using troops like this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and after forcing Wen Chou back with a few killers, he loudly ordered the iron cavalry battalion to change formation, and the feeling of the Jizhou cavalry was different at this time. The fixed opponent in front of Fang Cai suddenly moved, no longer staying in place to fight against them, but kept riding his horse to find the gap of the other party, Yan Gang even gave up Wen Chou to kill into the enemy formation, between the enemy cavalry where he passed all fell off their horses, and no one could stop a step, even Wen Chou could not catch up, the iron cavalry battalion soldiers also followed their main general to rush vertically and horizontally, and the Jizhou cavalry's position was even more chaotic, and Yan Zhongfu appeared in the place where Yan Liang and Huaxiong fought in the fierce battle. If it weren't for Yuan Jun, Lu Weihuang's quick opportunity to stop Yan Gang for a moment at the cost of serious injuries Yan Liang was afraid that he would suffer from it, and when Wen Chou arrived, all the generals of the Yuan army arrived, Yan Gang and Hua Xiong actually led the cavalry to retreat under the upper hand, and then turned together, and after pulling away the distance, Yuan Jun did not dare to step forward for a while, these two people were still second, and this cavalry command was indeed exquisite and unpredictable.
At the same time that Lu Hua and the Jizhou army were fighting, Gan Ning had already reversed the disadvantage with the help of Fan Chou's Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and Gao Ran Ju Yigu was a knowing soldier and came up with a plan to entangle with the Yanyun Battalion to reduce the killing of Fan Chou's cavalry. But Gan Xingba's reputation has spread far and wide in recent years, how can he be in vain? Almost at the same time as the enemy rushed forward, the soldiers of the Yanyun battalion had already begun to take the initiative to shrink, even if they were taken advantage of by the other party in the process. Followed by Fan Chou's assault, he is inferior to Hua Xiong in terms of martial arts, but the commander of the cavalry is not under the two, Liu Yi had a hard battle with him in order to rescue Sun Jian, and he is very praised for this person's ability to command the army!
The situation in front of Fan Chou found out the key point at a glance, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry rotated and attacked like a frenzy, and the back and forth conflicts continued to consume the combat power of the Jizhou Army, on the plain, in the melee, the infantry encountered the conflict and the cavalry The outcome can be imagined, this is not something that you can reverse with bravery or martial arts! Even the most elite halberd warriors under Ju Yi's account also suffered heavy losses under this impact, and Gan Ning immediately killed the thickest part of Yuan's army as soon as he saw Fan Chou's move, and he wanted to cooperate with Fan Chou to compress these enemy troops, so that it would be more convenient for the cavalry to charge into battle.
As a last resort, Gao Ran Juyi had no choice but to abandon a kind of soldier who blocked Gan Ning's retreat, and led the army to fight and retreat, but they still responded calmly, and did not give Fan Chou much opportunity in the process of retreating, and Gan Ning and Fan Fu did not pursue after joining forces, and directly approached Yan Gang and Hua Xiong's cavalry, and the two sides became confrontational for a while.
Yuan Shao, who was in the rear of this battle, naturally had a full view, his Jizhou soldiers' combat strength was not below the Yanyun battalion, the gap was in the cavalry, although there were a lot of people, but the horses and equipment were all inferior, and the equestrian skills were also inferior. He knew in his heart that this was the benefit of Liu Yi's friendship with other races, and his cavalry had been greatly enhanced, just like Dong Zhuo back then. If you want to win in a head-on battle without relying on geographical advantages, the quality of the current Jizhou cavalry is at least twice that of the other party, but Jizhou is not a place to produce horses, so Liu Yijun will definitely be stronger in the future, and his Jizhou will bear the brunt, how to compete with it?
After the current battle, Yuan Jun naturally retains the advantage in numbers, more than the other party, but Yuan Shao knows in his heart that if he really wants to fight desperately, he may not have much benefit, and the cavalry in front of him alone is not easy to deal with, and Yan Gang Huaxiong's just right appearance proves that Xi Zhicai and Jia Xu have already made arrangements, in this case, how do they know if they still have a backhand?
"Gong Heng and General Ju, retreat!" Yuan Shao immediately made arrangements after judging the situation, although the battle was a huge loss, but he did not have the slightest look of decadence on his face, and he still saw the situation above the battle array very clearly. This order also made Tian Feng, Guo Tu and others feel relieved, since it is no longer possible to encircle and annihilate Ganning, why bother to spend military strength, and even if the whole army comes out, the victory or defeat under the battle is unknown, and if the enemy retreats, they may not dare to chase.
"This Yuan Benchu really has some vision, it seems that the military advisor wants to lure him into pursuit." Watching Yuan Shao's defenders retreat, Yan Gang sighed, if the Yuan army wanted to advance just now, he would also lead the crowd to retreat, and retreat a hundred miles, trying to lure the Yuan army into Youzhou, and then with the help of the geographical advantage, it can be greatly killed, this is also the calculation of Jia Xu and Xi Zhicai, I didn't expect Yuan Shao to be so calm.
"Hehe, if he is so easy to deal with, it will be his turn to be a general? I think if you take Anxian County, this battle will not have to be fought again, how about it, how about Hebei Shuangxiong? Gan Ning smiled.
"It's really powerful, if it wasn't for the Iron Cavalry Battalion that had the upper hand just now, I wouldn't have been able to force Wen Chou back so easily, if it were true martial arts, I would definitely not be his enemy." Yan Gang is colorful.
"General Yan is right, these two people are very brave, and they are the fierce opponents of our army." Hua Xiong said.
"Don't worry, sooner or later, you will see the winner or loser, Ziwei, General Fan, thank you two for coming to help today, go, go back to Gan and invite the two of you to drink!" Gan Ning rode a horse to Huaxiong and Fan Chou, put his hand on the shoulders of the two without any image, and said with a smile.
"Haha, I can't ask for it, I have heard for a long time that General Gan has Goguryeo wine, and now I should drink it." Hua Xiong said with a smile, Fan Chou is also Wan'er.
"Second general, you must not forget my share, it's very boring to kill this ugly man for a while." Yan Gang was originally a lover of wine, and when he heard Gan Ning say this, he immediately quit.
"Go and go, you kid should be, I'm just a little bit of wine, plus you're a fart enough, who doesn't know that you and Guo Junshi are massive!" Gan Ning said angrily.
"Hehe, the second general, this is not what you are, anyway, I'm going to drink it...
After Yuan Shao turned to Qinghe, he got the news that Anxian had fallen and Han Meng died in battle, so he couldn't help but be angry, and after asking about the war, he wanted to kill Chun Yuqiong! The generals are also happy to see it, and no one pleads for it, such a comrade, who can rest assured that he will go to the battlefield in the future? In the end, he begged Xu Yu to save his life, and returned to Bohai with fifty military sticks. Anxian is a choke point, Yuan Shao tried to recapture it, but he did not raise troops, but someone had already arrived, saying that the Youzhou army had retreated, and sent the corpse of General Han Meng.
Yuan Shao and a group of advisers knew that this was a sign for Xi Zhicai to quit the army, so they buried Han Meng first, raised his wife and children in the general's mansion, and let Ju Yi lead the troops to be stationed in Anxian County, and then tried to make a good plan.
