Chapter 241: The Battle for Jizhou (6)
Gongsun Zhan found out that Yuan Shao was coming to fight, so he formed an infantry phalanx of 30,000 people, with the left and right wings headed by Baima Yicong, equipped with 5,000 horsemen, waiting for the arrival of Yuan Shao's army. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
After Yuan Shao's army arrived in front of the formation, Lu Yi led 800 elite infantry as the vanguard, and arranged 3,000 crossbowmen to hide behind the formation, while Yuan Shaozi led tens of thousands of infantry to live in the rear.
The two armies faced each other, and the elite infantry of Koji Yoshi, hiding behind the big shield, entered a state of imminent battle.
Gongsun Zhan smiled at the general Wang Men and said: "How strong I am as Yuan Shao, even if I dare to fight with such a few soldiers and horses, it is really beyond my strength." ”
Wang Men said: "Yuan Shao is also such a skill!" ”
Gongsun Chan said: "Since I came to send them to death, then I will fulfill them and go to war with cavalry!" ”
The cavalry on both wings launched an assault on Yuan Shao's army formation under the command of the general, and the big shields that stood in front of the formation were trampled by the impact of the war horses, and almost all of them were shattered, and Koji Yi, who was hiding behind the big shields, did not give the order to attack until this moment.
Gongsun Zhan's knights were all surprised to see the well-equipped heavy infantry behind the big shield, which was originally a light cavalry that restrained the attack. Koji Yi took the lead, wielding a big knife to cut the horse's legs, the war horse stumbled, those cavalry fell to the ground one after another, and the Liyi infantry behind hurriedly slashed with a simple knife, and Gongsun Zhan's cavalry turned on their backs, suffering heavy casualties.
Wen Chou saw that the crossbow soldiers worked, so he ordered the crossbowmen to line up, Gongsun Zhan's white horse Yicong originally wanted to go to the rescue, but encountered intensive strong crossbow shooting, Gongsun Zhan's army did not expect Yuan Shao to have such a scale of crossbowmen, morale was slower, but the morale of the soldiers of the Koji Yi Department was high, the more they fought, the more brave they became, the Jizhou Mu Yangang appointed by Gongsun Zan was killed by Liyi in the chaos, and Gongsun Zhan's army was defeated.
Yuan Shao saw that the situation was very good, so he beat the drum and marched, Gongsun Zan was shocked, and hurriedly Mingjin collected his troops, and led the remnants to withdraw to the boundary bridge to organize the defense.
Ko Yi and Wen Chou, Gao Gan and others marched side by side, taking advantage of the unstable foothold of Gongsun Zhan's army, immediately launched an attack on the boundary bridge, Gongsun Zhan commanded the soldiers and horses to defend urgently, but was killed and retreated, so he had to withdraw from the boundary bridge and withdraw to the northern camp.
Yuan Shao commanded the whole army to go north, besiege and kill Gongsun Zhan's northern camp, Gongsun Zhan saw that it was difficult to win, and the right Beiping County was faced with the attack of Liu Yu and Chu Yan's combined army, weighing the pros and cons, Gongsun Zan led the army to withdraw from Bohai County overnight, and retreated to defend the right Beiping County.
Yuan Shao won a complete victory, so the generals of the army divided the road, recovered the northern area of Bohai County captured by Gongsun Zhan, after more than ten days of continuous battles, Yuan Shao unified all the territory of Bohai County except Xiu County, after a few days of rest, Yuan Shao ordered Yan Liang to lead the army to recover Xiu County.
Zhang Ning's situation has taken a sharp turn for the worse, from "three regardless" to "three family management", Guo Daxian in the west, Yan Liang in the north, and Zhang Fei in the south have now become isolated cities.
Zhang Ning realized that the Yellow Turban Army was about to face annihilation, she was very anxious, at this moment she thought of Jiang Sheng, and now only Jiang Sheng could save her, so she sent someone to find Jiang Sheng overnight.
Jiang Sheng has been stationed in Yecheng and is organizing the reception of Jizhou's military and political affairs, and has not yet carried out the reconquest operation, but due to the active actions of Zhou Jin, the Jizhou intelligence station, Jiang Sheng is still well aware of the situation in Jizhou.
"As far as my Holy Lord knows, your Excellency has not yet had time to take care of the affairs of the Bohai Sea. Yuan Shaozheng can expand his strength, I'm afraid it's not good for adults! My Holy Lord has had a consensus with your lords before, but I wonder if you still remember? ”
"Haha, of course I remember, you don't have to say much, I know why you came, you go back and report to Zhang Ning, tomorrow you will be able to see the difference, get ready to go west to Guangchuan, I allow you to gain a foothold in Guangchuan, I hope Zhang Ning knows how to advance and retreat, don't get an inch!"
"Huh?" The Yellow Turban Messenger was speechless for a while, but he didn't expect Jiang Sheng to make such an arrangement. "My lord values righteousness, but my lord is not ungrateful."
And said that Xu Huang did not go with Jiang Shengxi after annihilating Bian Xibu, but stayed in Ganling County, when Guan Yu sent troops, Xu Huang had integrated the soldiers and horses of Qinghe State, with 4,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry, and the equipment of the infantry had not yet arrived, so they could only defend the city, and Xu Huang ordered the cavalry to undertake the daily patrol and vigilance tasks.
When Guan Yu's soldiers and horses arrived at the outskirts of Yimu County, they had already been discovered by Xu Huang, because Liu Bei and Jiang Sheng agreed to coexist peacefully a few days ago, so Xu Huang did not send troops, but only brought dozens of personal soldiers to meet Guan Yu.
"Brother Yun, this time I led the army west to Jizhou, is it to help fight the thieves or do you have other plans?"
"It turned out to be Brother Gongming, I don't know why it appeared here?"
"Under the order of Jizhou Mujiang Envoy, he was in charge of the military affairs of Qinghe State, and I learned that Brother Yun led the army to the territory of Qinghe Country, and I came to meet him."
"Jiang Envoy-kun? Jizhou Mu is Han Fu, how did he become Jiang Sheng? Guan Yu actually knew about Han Fu asking Jizhou to give Jiang Sheng, which was deliberately saying this, implying that Jiang Sheng was plotting to seize Jizhou.
"My lord Jiang envoy Jun Wei is famous all over the world, loyalty, righteousness, benevolence and virtue are all over the world, Han Fu gave way to Xian, it has long been rumored to be a good story, could it be that the eldest brother of Yun has a disease of ears and eyes, and he has never heard of it?"
"You-Jiang Sheng stole Jizhou, how can you be loyal? My lord Liu Bei is a relative of the Han family, and he ordered Guan to come here to manage Jizhou on behalf of the imperial court, so as not to fall into the hands of gangsters! ”
"What a Han clan relative! It must be known that there are virtuous people in the world who live there, Liu Bei deliberately climbed relatives, and falsely claimed to be a royal family, how can he be virtuous? Thinking that my lord and Liu Bei have an old relationship, I don't want to meet each other with swords, and I also ask Brother Yun to withdraw and return to the plains. ”
"If I have come here, how can I return empty-handed?"
"If you don't want to go back empty-handed, you can carry the coffins of the soldiers under your command back to the plains!" Xu Huang sneered.
"What a big breath! See you here! Guan Yu didn't agree with each other, urged the horse forward, and wanted to fight Xu Huang alone.
Xu Huang didn't answer, he danced the big axe to fight Guan Yu, Guan Yu had the green dragon glaive sword tiger in his hand, and Xu Huang's big axe was not ambiguous, and there was a faint sound of wind and thunder.
The gold and iron resonated, both of them were numb, and secretly thought that they had met their opponents, so they both put away their hearts to light the enemy, and they continued to show one move and one style.
There is no record of Xu Huang fighting Guan Yu in history, and the evaluation of the combat strength of the two is also a matter of opinion.
Guan Yu's Qinglong Glaive Knife is made of iron, and the big axe in Xu Huang's hand is also made of iron, which looks unremarkable, but it is also starry with the Qinglong Glaive.
One of Xu Huang's personal soldiers saw that Guan Yujun was about to move, so he quietly rushed back to the camp to report the news, and three thousand elite horsemen followed, murderous.
Guan Yujun saw that Xu Huang's cavalry was well-equipped, and there was a sense of slaughter, and his heart was already timid, and the voice of cheering for Guan Yu was much weaker, Guan Yu heard something different, glanced at it, and saw the momentum of Xu Huang's cavalry, and was secretly shocked in his heart, so after a few moves, he retreated to the main formation.
Xu Huang said: "Senior Brother Yun started fighting without saying a word, why did he shrink his head before he spoke?" Haha-"
Guan Yu said: "Let's have a discussion, and if you see it, you will accept it!" Our lord is determined to win the Qinghe country, and today our troops withdrew twenty miles to show sincerity, hoping that Brother Gongming will withdraw as soon as possible, so as not to meet each other! ”
