Zhang Ji and Fan Chou hurriedly organized to respond to the enemy, but the Xuanjia cavalry first entered the enemy formation, and Zhang Ji's army was in close contact, from the design concept of later generations, so that the power of this straight-edged saber was greatly increased, and the cuirass of those Xiliang cavalry encountered a long saber is a long opening, blood gushed out, and he was killed on the spot.

The Xiliang Army shocked the northwest, and it was in vain to encounter the world's first Xuanjia cavalry, when he chased Jiang Sheng before, he had suffered a loss, and now he found that the combat power of the Xuanjia cavalry has been greatly improved than before.
The battle of the Xuanjia cavalry directly caused about thirty percent of Zhang Ji's army to be killed, and Fan Chou's army was divided into two parts by Gao Shun's army, and the part that was surrounded by it completely lost its ability to resist and was killed one by one by the state army.
Zhang Ji saw that things were not good, so he waved his army and withdrew, and Zhao Yunbu chased and killed all the way, harvesting the lives of Zhang Ji's soldiers; Fan Chou's main force tried to rescue the soldiers and horses surrounded by Gao Shun, but was intercepted by Zhang Liao's army, who had his hands free.
Zhang Liao didn't say a word, went straight to Fan Chou, the Xiliang army in front of him was killed and dizzy, Fan Chou was frightened, hit the horse and ran, the soldiers saw that the main general fled, and they had no intention of fighting again, and went west in a swarm.
Zhao Yun's troops pursued and killed five miles, and saw that Zhang Ji's army had quickly retreated westward, so he no longer pursued, and returned to the east to meet Zhang Liao and Gao Shun.
Fan Chou panicked and fled from the attack of Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao with only a few hundred soldiers.
In the battle, Zhang Ji's army killed nearly 4,000 people, Fan Chou's army was almost wiped out, only a few hundred people remained, and he retreated to Chang'an in a hurry, and Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun of the palace died a total of 1,658 people, and the ratio of casualties to the enemy was ten to one, which can be described as a complete victory!
After the victory, Zhao Yun and the other three troops quickly moved eastward and soon caught up with Jiang Sheng's main army.
After five days of rapid marching, Jiang Sheng returned to Yecheng, Xun Yu went out of the city to greet him, and reported the battle situation in Jizhou for nearly a month as he walked.
Judging from the overall battle situation, although the Jizhou army suffered great losses, it finally stabilized the situation, and Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses did not make further progress for ten days, and were blocked in the border area between Hejian State and Bohai County.
Soldiers from all walks of life fought bloodily and fought-for-tat with Yuan Shao's various departments, Xun Yu continued to mobilize materials to replenish supplies, and a large number of catapults and four-bow bed crossbows were also assembled to the front line.
Although Jiang Sheng's invention of the catapult and the four-bow bed crossbow are strictly kept secret from the outside world, Yang Feng is extremely proficient, he is obsessed with smelting and manufacturing in Le'an, Jiang Sheng let Yang Feng stay in Le'an in order to build a standardized production workshop, and now it has been established, these siege weapons and mechanical equipment are assembled with various accessories, after the accessories are standardized production, there is no need to worry about the problem of pairing the parts, the same parts can be used no matter which machine it is.
Xun Yu knew about the Le'an smelting and manufacturing base, so he sent a message to the trial and matching, asking the trial to support a batch of weapons, and after Yang Feng received the task, he organized the workers to work overtime and created nearly 1,000 sets of accessories, which were transported to Yecheng with the help of the Zhen family caravan. The drawings were personally escorted to the front-line positions by Zhou Jin, the person in charge of the Jizhou Intelligence Station.
Here it is necessary to talk about the situation of Le'an.
Since Jiang Sheng's control, Le'an has adopted a land policy and education policy that transcends the times, neither excessively restricting the large families, but also taking into account the wishes of the poor people, and there has been a political and harmonious situation that has never been seen in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
Different from the attitude of others, the officials were specially assigned to appease and guide the displaced people, promising not to collect taxes for two years, encouraging them to reclaim the land on their own to make a living, avoiding the danger of the influx of displaced people into the troubled place, but making the displaced people grateful and giving birth with peace of mind, and they also received strong support from the people when they were conscripted.
Yang Feng was born as a bandit, and was originally a homeless person, knowing that many talents were among these homeless people, so he went to the homeless settlement to post notices and recruit skilled craftsmen, and the handicraft production of Le'an has also expanded the scale, and agricultural tools such as Quyuan plow, thirsty Wu, and cocoon have been popularized throughout Le'an County.
Xiahoulan and Zhang Nan commanded Le'an's soldiers and horses, and Xu You was appointed as a military advisor, and the original 10,000 soldiers and horses have been expanded to 30,000 people, which can be described as strong soldiers and horses.
Guan Hai, the leader of the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou, tried to get his hands on Le'an, but was killed by Xiahoulan and Zhang Nan's army, and he did not dare to offend Le'an again, and attacked Yanzhou, and Yanzhou was in an emergency.
Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai personally led the Yanzhou soldiers and horses to attack the Guanhai Department, cut off more than 10,000, but was ambushed by the Guanhai army when the victory was pursued, Liu Dai's army suffered heavy losses, and the camp was set up after retreating for 100 miles.
The Guanhai army invaded on all fronts and controlled a large area of territory in Taishan County and Rencheng State.
Cao Cao, the Taishou of Dongjun, ordered Xiahou Yuan, Cao Hong, Cao Ren, and Li Dian to lead an army to counterattack, but they failed and retreated to Dongjun.
Liu Dai saw that the Yellow Turban Army was strong, so he sent a letter asking for help to the trial match, and the trial ordered Xiahou Lan and Zhang Nan to lead the army to storm the back road of the Guanhai army, and contacted the Beihai State Kong fusion army to discuss the Yellow Turban.
At this time, Jizhou Xun Yu sent a letter to ask for a siege weapon, and he believed in the strength of Xiahoulan and Zhang Nan, so he didn't pay too much attention to it, but fully supported Jizhou in terms of materials.
Xun You is proficient in warfare, Xun Yu knows it very well, so he recalled Xun You, the Taishou of Wei County, to Yecheng, and let Xun You fully command the anti-enemy battle in Jizhou.
Xun You visited the armies and found that there were many sharp weapons such as catapults and four-bow bed crossbows in the army, so he demarcated the defense line for each army, built barriers, equipped with long-range weapons, and fortified the whole line.
The cooperation between Chu Yan and Gongsun Zan made Liu Yu realize the trouble, so he stopped after capturing the northern part of Hejian Kingdom and returned to Youzhou.
Seeing the fierce fighting in the western part of Youzhou, Gongsun Du took the opportunity to annex Liaoxi, Liaodong, Xiangping, Lelang and other places, and his strength increased unprecedentedly.
Gongsun Zhan was very jealous of this fellow clan, so he talked to Chu Yanchen about the benefits and disadvantages, and returned to the right Beiping County, and Chu Yan fell into a situation of fighting alone.
Wupa, the king of Xiwuhuan, led the army into the pass to reinforce and took advantage of the situation to break through Jixian County, and then joined forces with Chu Yan to attack Yuyang County with Jixian County as a base. The land of Youzhou has become the battlefield of the two forces of Jiang Sheng and Liu Yu.
Without Liu Yu's support, Yuan Shao's life was also very difficult, the southern part of Bohai County had been controlled by Zhang Ning's Yellow Turban Army, which had secretly returned to Jiang Sheng, and Gao Gan led the army to defend Nanpi and was in a stalemate with Zhang Ning's army, while Gao Lan and Frustrated soldiers and horses had already rushed to Nanpi.
Yuan Shao was worried that Nanpi would lose, so he ordered Chun Yuqiong to take charge of the war between the rivers, and urgently transferred Yan Liang and Wen Chou back to defend Nanpi, and Bohai County was also turned into a pot of porridge.
After Jiang Sheng led the army back to Jizhou, he was only given two days to repair, and during the rest period, Jiang Sheng sent people to Pegasus to send a message and gather generals to fight.
