At the same time, on the side of Guzhu City, not far away, the rebels had already assembled. The army of more than 70,000 people, relying only on the crowd, also looks menacing. The military village is built along the wet water, stretches for more than ten miles, and the big banner of the word "Zhang" is waved in the wind.

"Brother, the situation is not good! The Han army marched westward, menacing, and the surrounding powerful families retreated, sitting and watching the success or failure of you and me! The land of the hidden east is already barren, and without their support, our army is afraid that it will be difficult to continue! In the central tent, Zhang Chun was worried and said to Zhang Ju.

Zhang Ju's face is not very good-looking, the two have "100,000 soldiers", but their own family knows their own affairs. In addition to the private tribes of their own clans, and the horse bandits and thieves who were recruited, many of the rest of the soldiers were peasants who had newly put down their ploughs, and there were many soldiers who were forcibly conscripted into the army.

In addition to the unrealistic ambitions in his heart, the two Zhang called the king and the emperor, and the original intention was to condense the general trend, motivate the soldiers, and improve morale. Unexpectedly, it had the opposite effect, and many powerful families who were secretly supported immediately withdrew their minions, and there were many soldiers in the army who fled.

At this time, the two also knew that they were blinded by desire and made a faint move. There are also the Wuhuan people, since the start of the army, they haven't taken much care of them, and they have taken care of plundering the prefectures and counties, although they have shared a lot of pressure, but at this time, they seem to have become the target of the Han army, and they want to get rid of them quickly.

The matter has come to this point, and I can only insist on it. Erzhang was also a person who was mixed with the Dahan County Guard before, not an ordinary mediocre person, and he also had a clear understanding of the situation. Retreat a group of subordinates and think about ways to break the game together.

"That Meng Yi is not to be afraid, the position of Zhonglang General is empty, and there is no foundation in Youzhou. However, this Gongsun Zhan, who was born in a Youzhou family, is quite a general, and has a lot of elite soldiers and good fighters, and our army has suffered a big loss in his hands before, so I have to guard against it! After pondering for a long time, Zhang Ju sighed slightly.

Zhang Chun's brows furrowed, and he suddenly said fiercely: "No matter what, we have to make a decision quickly." The Han army is close at hand, whether to fight or retreat, we must make up our minds. The army's morale is already unstable, and if it is delayed, I am afraid that it will be completely dispersed! ”

Slammed the table, Zhang Ju seemed to be out of the way, and said to Zhang Chun: "Brother Chun is right, the Han army is about to persecution, we can't hesitate any longer." The main force of our army is here, and there is no reason for the 70,000-strong army to retreat without a fight. I intend to lead the army south and compete with it. As long as the Han army is defeated, all problems will be solved! ”

"Gongsun Chan wants to worship the marquis with our head, then it depends on whether his teeth are sharp enough! Order the army, march south! ”

Zhang Ju knew that with their current situation, there was no way to retreat, and retreating was only the way to defeat.

"Also, send someone to inform the Wuhuan people and tell Qiu Liju. If our army is defeated, they don't think about it. In the end, we went directly north to the Huns and let him watch it! Zhang Ju looked crazy, obviously having made up his mind.

……

The rebels made the decision to go south, but the army was slow to move, and it took half a day to get out alone, which made Erzhang feel a sense of powerlessness, and the prospect of fighting with the Han army cast a shadow, and he really didn't know the bottom of his heart.

On the Han army's side, after resting, under the urging of Gongsun Zhan, they decisively marched north. Meng Yi was stable and a little dissatisfied with Gongsun Zhan's impatience, but he couldn't stand the many Han generals who were eager to make meritorious contributions, so he had no choice but to go north.

Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun led the army, and Fang Jin stopped, just because the Han army had suddenly arrived.

The water flows into the Bohai Sea in the south, it is the early spring, the water level is not high, the Han army directly crosses the river, stands on the bank, and becomes the trend of carrying the water. This is naturally Gongsun Zhan's will, Meng Yi can't suppress him anymore, although he is dissatisfied with Gongsun Zhan's "domineering", but he is really helpless.

He was already weak, and when he was about to fight, he didn't dare to offend Gongsun Zhan and make the generals lose peace. Destroying the rebels is the first thing, Gongsun Chan is good at fighting, seeing that he is full of self-confidence, or he can really defeat the rebels, so he has to cooperate with Gongsun as much as possible.

The main force of the rebels, under the command of Er Zhang, pressed towards the Han army. The boundless rebel army pressed in, and Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju personally led more than 20,000 people with a little combat strength in the center, looking at the Han army who were resting and waiting.

"Beishui Standing Formation, I'm afraid it's Gongsun Zhan's handiwork again!" Zhang Ju looked into the distance and said coldly to Zhang Chun. There was some sarcasm in his tone, but his face was really solemn.

The Han army on the opposite side is well-equipped, looking at its formation, rigorous and solid, although the number is less than half of its own, but its combat strength is only afraid that it is stronger than its own side more than double. Especially Gongsun Zhan's elite horse, murderous, a strong sense of threat filled Zhang Ju's heart.

In the face of the rebels who were twice the size of the Han army, Gongsun Zhan's face was relaxed, without the slightest fear. His eyes kept moving between the rebels' formations, and he laughed: "Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun are really not the materials to command the army, looking at their formation, there are many loopholes, and our Han army can win in one battle!" ”

Holding a horse whip, he pointed to Erzhang Zhongjun and said: "Gongsun Yue, Gongsun Fan, later lead the army with me to directly break through the rebel army and make meritorious contributions." Soldiers, dare to fight with a certain battle! ”

"Fight! War! War! The surrounding Han soldiers suddenly shouted in unison, and the call of three thousand Youzhou iron horsemen was the most enthusiastic. The momentum is huge, the morale is rising, and the fighting spirit is high, while the rebels are dwarfed by it.

Seeing that Gongsun Chan mobilized the fighting spirit of the soldiers in just a few words, Meng Yi sighed in his heart, this Gongsun Chan is really a generation of generals, if only he was not so domineering. For defeating the rebels, Meng Yi's self-confidence also rose.

Riding a horse and galloping to Meng Yima's side, Gongsun Zhan bowed his hand and said solemnly: "General, the last general will lead the army to assault the enemy formation, and I hope that the general will lead the army later, you and I will work together to break the thief and take two heads!" ”

Meng Yi also threw away his previous unhappiness and calmly replied: "The general is really heroic, Yi naturally doesn't dare to slack off!" There was a little smugness on the corner of his mouth, and Gongsun Zan was very satisfied with Meng Yi's reaction.

"Kill!" Set up an assault position, and Gongsun Chan decisively ordered a frontal assault. The three thousand iron horsemen under Gongsun Tent took the lead in the battle, and they went forward with Gongsun Zhan's attack. Meng Yi then led the army to force forward.

Gongsun Zhan's target was only two Chinese soldiers, and he could see at a glance that the rebels only had Chinese soldiers Ma Kekan to fight, as long as they were defeated, the rest was not to worry about.

With the pikemen in front, the sword and shield soldiers in the center, and the archers in the back, Zhang Ju had already set up a position in order to deal with the enemy's cavalry assault.

In the face of the galloping Han army, the iron cavalry charged, and the power was incomparable. It was this familiar cavalry army, Zhang Ju's eyes narrowed slightly, and his heart couldn't help but tighten.

Many of the surrounding rebel soldiers were a little afraid, Zhang Ju saw this, and ordered loudly: "Stabilize the position and prepare for the attack of the enemy!" ”

Youzhou Iron Cavalry, the speed quickly climbed to the peak, maintained high speed, and charged forward. The attack formation was not scattered at all, which shows that Gongsun Zhan's training of this cavalry army is very good.

After entering the firing range, Zhang Ju ordered the arrows to be released, and the arrows attacked, knocking down many Han soldiers. However, under the control of Gongsun Zhan, the Han cavalry still maintained a high speed to approach the rebel army.

Only three rounds were released, and the front row cavalry of the Han army collided with the front row of the rebel spearmen. The offensive was abrupt, and he was stabbed on his back. The elite of Gongsun Tiecai's cavalry was reflected, and the knights in the rear quickly followed up and continued to charge.

Gongsun Zhan obviously had already expected it, reacted quickly, adjusted the formation, and rushed into the rebel formation. Only the cavalry that rushed up was the most lethal.

"Keep up the speed and gouge through the rebels!" Gongsun Chan shouted loudly, and the two brothers, Gongsun Yue and Gongsun Fan, each as an arrow, regardless of it, moved forward wholeheartedly.

The second Zhang Zhongjun, compared with the rebels on both wings, is very good, and Zhang Ju also considered dealing with the attack of the Youzhou cavalry. But after all, he still underestimated the power of the iron cavalry charge, and after holding on for a long time, he was led by the Gongsun brothers to the rear.

The formation was quickly disrupted and fell into chaos, and although Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju tried their best to stabilize, they had little effect. Then the Han army's infantry army, under the command of Meng Yi, pressed with momentum, fought with short soldiers, and pushed and ran over.

The quality of the two armies was completely reflected at this time, and although the rebels were numerous, they were not opponents at all. The Chinese army tried their best to resist, but they were defeated and retreated, Zhang Chun went to the right flank, to bring people to help, and the left flank was also ordered to support. But this move caused the rebels on both flanks to fall into chaos and lose their command. From the very beginning of the fighting, the rebels fell into decline.

Gongsun Chan led the army to gouge through the rebel army, but he still had the strength to spare, so he quickly turned around and fought back, attacking from behind, and knocking the rebels into the abyss.

After a fierce battle for more than an hour, the rebels were pressed by the Han army in front of them, and the Gongsun Iron Cavalry was disturbed by the impact of the Iron Cavalry.
