Bohai County, Jizhou, in the Shuangtang area northeast of Dongpingshu, is famous for having two connected ponds, and at this time, Gongsun Zhan's army of 60,000 and Yuan Shao's army of 80,000 met here.

"Yuan Shao thief! As the leader of the coalition forces, you don't want to try every means to crusade against the national thief Dong Zhuo, but you use despicable means to seize the territory of the same coalition members, and even deceive Benhou, and your ambition is obvious to the world! Now Ben Hou is leading a large army to come, if you immediately dismount and surrender and wait for the court to fall, this Hou will also go to the court to intercede for you, if not, you will not be pardoned! Gongsun Chan rode his horse and shouted in front of the army.

"Gongsun Zhan, wasn't the reason why you raised troops in the past because you coveted Jizhou? Now he is angry and leads the army to attack, and he makes up facts to slander me?! Han Wenjie gave Jizhou to me because he was worried that Dong thieves would take advantage of the cholera place in the imperial court, so he abdicated and made way for Xian to help me crusade against Dong thieves. And you have neither the order of the imperial court nor the order from above, and you led the army into Jizhou without permission, who is the traitor? Isn't it clear to the people of the world? Yuan Shao heard Gongsun Zhan's scolding, and went out of the queue to scold back without showing weakness.

Compared with the fighting mouth, Gongsun Chan is obviously not Yuan Shao's opponent, after all, although he studied under Lu Zhi, he is far inferior to Yuan Shao in terms of knowledge. What's more, although Yuan Shao's means of seizing Jizhou are indeed a little unkind, Gongsun Zhan's side is not pure.

"Humph! Yuan Benchu, since this is the case, let's see the real chapter under our hands, I want to see if your troops are as powerful as your tongue! Gongsun Chan snorted coldly, and then turned his horse's head back into the formation. Seeing this, Yuan Shao also returned to the formation.

As soon as the flag order was issued, I saw that in the Gongsun Zhan array, about 30,000 infantry began to slowly advance towards Yuan Shao's formation, and on both sides, 5,000 cavalry each headed towards the flank of Yuan Shao's army.

"Humph! But that's it! Seeing the formation of the Gongsun army, Yuan Shao snorted coldly, and then ordered the front to attack, and led the cavalry on both wings to block the cavalry of the Gongsun army.

The formation of the Gongsun army was the most ordinary phalanx, with cavalry on both flanks to cooperate with the attack. This kind of tactic is used by almost everyone in the north of the entire Han Dynasty, so it is no wonder that Yuan Shao looks down on it.

It's just that...... Being able to use and being proficient are obviously two different things, Gongsun Chan became famous when he suppressed the Wuhuan rebellion, and during this period, he beat Zhang Ju and others several times and fled. Among them, in addition to the powerful infantry corps of the Han Dynasty, there was also Gongsun Zhan's cavalry troops, which were not inferior to the nomads.

You must know that although Gongsun Chan did not send the 3,000 white horse servants under his command into battle, the 10,000 cavalry were all selected from the entire Youzhou, including those Wuhuan people.

Therefore, when the cavalry of the two armies met, before the cavalry of the Yuan army made an attack posture, countless arrows shot by the Gongsun army had already struck from the sky. This is the gap between the cavalry of the two armies, whether it is the rate of fire or the range, the cavalry of the Gongsun army is stronger than that of the Yuan army! Not to mention that the number of cavalry of the Gongsun army was more than that of the Yuan army.

In an instant, Yuan's cavalry suffered tremendous damage, countless soldiers fell off their horses, and the front row was even more chaotic. And when the two armies clashed, the cavalry of the Yuan army immediately fell into disadvantage.

"Humph! No wonder Gongsun Chan has such confidence! Seeing the losses on both sides, Yuan Shao suddenly snorted coldly, and at the same time immediately ordered the cavalry to withdraw, and let the infantry on both wings go to meet it.

In this regard, the cavalry of the Gongsun army did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but continued to shoot and kill the soldiers of the Yuan army with the strong attack in their hands, and for a while, they turned their horses' heads and withdrew to rest in the formation.

As soon as the battle began, Yuan Shao suffered a big loss, but he didn't have any reaction to this, just kept ordering the troops in the front to press forward. Because he knew that no matter how fierce Gongsun Zhan's cavalry was on both flanks, as long as the formation was not chaotic, those cavalry could only shoot arrows on the periphery. What can really determine victory or defeat is the frontal battlefield.

Yuan Shao understands this, but Gongsun Zhan doesn't seem to know it very well. Maybe it's because since he became famous, he has been fighting against the northern Hu Man, even if he went south to Jizhou in the past, it was just to crusade against those Qingzhou Yellow Turban rebels. Therefore, the tactics used by Gongsun Chan seem to pay more attention to the use of cavalry than infantry.

Therefore, after the cavalry under his command had cultivated for a while, Gongsun Chan sent cavalry again to try to cooperate with the infantry in front to launch an attack. And this kind of offensive, the effect is quite good, at least in the absence of cavalry containment, Yuan's infantry can only passively defend in the face of Gongsun Zhan's cavalry.

It's just that Yuan Shao didn't even frown at this point, the reason why this is so is not because he is capricious, but because he doesn't take Gongsun Zhan's tactics in his eyes at all.

"Junxin! Faith! The two of you each led 800 elite soldiers, with 1,000 strong crossbows, and rushed to the flank to support! If the cavalry of the Gongsun Army attack, you will ......," Yuan Shao ordered in a deep voice.

After receiving the order, Lu Yi and Jiang Yiqu immediately led their troops to the flank, and at the same time, Yuan Shao ordered Zhu Ling and Lu Weiheng to gather the remaining cavalry and be ready to attack at any time.

"Humph! Hundreds of people dare to be sent out to die? Yan Gang and Wang Men, the commanders of the two Gongsun cavalry, saw the enemy who was rapidly approaching, and immediately sneered in their hearts, and immediately led their troops to meet them.

"Rush over! Stomp them to death! Yan Gang shouted. Obviously, the advantages they had achieved before made them seem to look down on Yuan Jun a little.

Another rain of arrows suppressed, and while the enemy was standing a shield to guard against arrows, Yan Gang and Wang Men immediately led the cavalry to rush over.

In the face of the cavalry assault of the Gongsun Army, Lu Yi and Jiang Yiqu just silently calculated the distance, until they were about to enter within ten steps, and the two gave the order to shoot at the same time.

In an instant, hundreds of arrows shot straight over, less than ten paces away, making the soldiers of the Gongsun Army unable to react at all. Suddenly, a large number of soldiers fell from their horses with arrows, and countless horses fell on the battlefield because of arrows.

And at this moment, the second round of arrows came again. One person with two crossbows, after shooting, Lu Yi and Jiang Yiqu immediately led the army to kill the Gongsun army, whose formation was destroyed by crossbow arrows, and at the same time, the cavalry led by Zhu Ling and Lu Weiheng also quickly rushed over.

The defeat of the cavalry suddenly put Gongsun Zhan's infantry, which was originally inferior to Yuan's army, into a huge disadvantage, and Gongsun Zhan over there had to order a retreat when he saw this. However, it is obvious that Yuan Shao personally led the army to come, not just to repel Gongsun Zhan.

Over there, Yan Gang and Wang Men led more than 5,000 people to stay in the palace, although they were still defeated in the end, but when Lu Yi finally killed Yan Gang and Wang Men and defeated the palace troops of the Gongsun army, Gongsun Chan had already led the defeated army to leave.
