Under the city of gall.

Cao Xiu, the general of the Han army, led 20,000 horses and was attacking.

The defenders of the Yuan army were recruited, relying on the city to hold on and wait for help.

The most powerful thing in the Han army is the bow and crossbow, and after a few rounds, the Yuan army did not dare to take the lead, and just when Cao Xiu was about to order a large-scale attack, the Jinyi guard suddenly rushed in.

"Report! General, Yuan Shao is coming here, please send troops to intercept it quickly! ”

Cao Xiu was overjoyed and said: "Haha, he should have made meritorious contributions, come here, immediately collect the troops, intercept Yuan Shao, and definitely can't let Yuan Shao escape!" ”

"It's the general!"

The Han army immediately withdrew its troops, leaving only a few men and horses to contain the defenders of Gauntlet, and the rest of the men and horses, after all the rectifications were completed, moved closer to Yuan Shao.

Along the way, Jinyiwei continued to send emergency military information, and the Han army also quickly adjusted its route according to the military situation, and finally, the two sides met on the bank of the Zhangshui River.

"Yuan Shao is there, all the soldiers obey the order, set up the formation, and must not let Yuan Shao escape!" Cao Xiu saw Yuan Shao clearly from afar and immediately ordered.

The 20,000 Han troops quickly formed a formation, with the shield array in front, the Shenqi battalion in the rear, the cavalry separated to protect the sides, and the infantry last.

Before the Yuan army could react, the Divine Arrow Battalion had already fired ten thousand arrows, shooting the Yuan army into chaos.

Yuan Shao was shocked and hurriedly shouted, "Quickly set up the formation!" Fast! ”

However, under the attack of the Han army's bow and crossbow, the formation of the Yuan army was difficult to arrange, and the cavalry of the Han army immediately rushed over, quickly dividing the Yuan army into several parts, and then the infantry rushed over quickly and began to attack the Yuan army.

Yuan Shao sighed when he saw this, and said, "It's really heaven and I'm dead!" Now there are interceptions in front, pursuers in the back, and relying on the big river, so what can I do? ”

The subordinates are at a loss, and now in this situation, it is indeed difficult to do anything.

Ju Yi said loudly: "Lord, please charge in person, now we are in a desperate situation, if the lord charges in person, the morale will be boosted immediately, so we still have hope to break out of the interception of the Han army and enter the gall pottery repair!" ”

Yuan Shao sighed: "Even so, I can't resign!" Ladies and gentlemen, with a certain charge, although death has no regrets! ”

Yuan Shao immediately drew his long sword and took the lead to kill the Han army.

Not to mention, this time it had an effect, seeing that Yuan Shao led the charge, the others naturally rushed up, and even Xu You and other strategists also followed.

It's just that the reality is still very cruel, the combat effectiveness of the Han army is so strong, so that the soldiers of the Yuan army feel helpless, especially Cao Xiu, who is even better trained, these 20,000 horses completely ignore the opponent, and constantly use the tactics of group combat to destroy the counterattacks of the Yuan army again and again.

Xu You was soon left alone, and Mi Fang, the general of the Han army, was overjoyed when he saw this, and rushed over on horseback, and stabbed Xu You in the throat with a single shot.

"Haha, it's enjoyable!"

Mi Fang was overjoyed, got off the horse and cut off Xu You's head, although he didn't know Xu You, he also knew that this person must be an important person in Yuan Shao's group.

On the other side, Guo Tu and Feng Ji were also scattered, they were targeted by Zhang Kai, Zhang Kai has no chance to kill Cao Cao's father now, but he is still very utilitarian, seeing Guo Tu and Feng Ji, the two civil officials, Zhang Kai immediately urged the horse and rushed over, two shots in a row, Zhang Kai killed Guo Tu and Feng Ji.

However, Zhang Kai was also quite unlucky, and was about to dismount to harvest the head, but was rushed by Yuan Jun's general Zhang Jaw, and a shot pierced his chest, and he died.

When Zhang Jaw saw the corpses of Guo Tu and Feng Ji, he sighed, and it was too late to collect their corpses, urging the horse to move closer to Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao attracted the attention of the Han army the most at this time, everyone knew that once Yuan Shao was captured, he would definitely be able to win the grand prize, if it weren't for Gao Ran and Ju Yi's desperate protection, Yuan Shao would have hung up long ago.

After Zhang Jaw rushed over, he first reported to Yuan Shao the death of Guo Tu and Feng Ji, Yuan Shao sighed with tears, and then everyone joined together and hugged Yuan Shao and desperately ran towards the gall.

Zhang Jaw, Gao Ran and Ju Yi relied on their strong force to kill a bloody road, among these people in the Han army, no one could really stop these three people, but most of the Yuan army was killed by the Han army, Yuan Shao only had a dozen horsemen around him, and fled to Gall Tao in embarrassment.

Under the city of Gauntlet, Yuan Shao was stopped by the Han army left behind.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I didn't expect that there would be people in the Han army blocking the way, and now we are exhausted, what can we do?" Yuan Shao said pessimistically.

Zhang Jaw said: "Lord, when the last general drags them back, the lord takes the opportunity to break through and quickly enter the city!" ”

Gao Ran said: "My lord, the last general will go to help you!" ”

After the two finished speaking, they urged the horses to fight towards the Han army.

The Han army surrounded the two of them, and at this time, no matter how much force there was, after a series of battles, it was almost consumed.

Zhang Jaw and Gao Ran fought hard for a while, but they couldn't retreat the Han army, but they were wrapped in the middle, and after a while, the two were tripped over the horse's legs, fell to the ground, and were both captured.

The two were escorted to the partial general Zang Ba, Zang Ba laughed and said: "You two are quite powerful, you have killed all the way to the foot of the gall pottery city, and you still have the ability to charge." Now that Yuan Shao is already a turtle in an urn, sooner or later he will be captured by His Majesty, the two generals have the ability, it is better to return to the imperial court, and the imperial court will definitely reuse you. ”

Zhang Jaw sighed: "How can a loyal minister serve the two masters? Kill so-and-so, please! ”

Zang said domineeringly: "Yuan Benchu was originally a Hanchen, but he didn't want to repay the court, how could such a disloyal person be worthy of the two of them to treat him like this?" It's better to keep a useful body and redeem the merits! ”

Zang Ba also tried to keep the two, after all, the court loves talents, and the abilities of Zhang Jaw and Gao Ran are good, Zang Ba knows that Ming Jian will definitely like these two people.

Gao Ran said: "We have repeatedly opposed the imperial court, and we have killed many people from the imperial court, can Your Majesty really forgive us?" ”

Zang Ba said: "Your Majesty treats people, benevolence, righteousness and generosity, you don't have to doubt, the Baiyue people in Jiangdong and the Huainan people in Yuan Shu, Your Majesty are all important, so why should you worry?" ”

When Gao Ran heard this, he looked at Zhang Jaw, he actually already had a mind.

Zhang Jaw sighed: "In this way, let's surrender, but please forgive the general, I am Yuan Benchu's subordinates, and please don't let the general let us deal with Yuan Benchu, if we agree to this condition, we will surrender!" ”

After all, Zhang Jaw is loyal, but he still put forward a condition.

Zang Ba said with a smile: "Yuan Benchu is not worried, the imperial court has a way to deal with him, since the two generals are willing to surrender, it is better to wait a while, and when Your Majesty arrives in the gall Tao, a certain will introduce you for you." ”

"So, thank you, General!"

Zhang Jaw and Gao Ran said.

On the other side, taking advantage of the open jaw and Gao Ran to sprint, Yuan Shao took advantage of the chaos to rush out of the Han army's defense line, and when he arrived at the foot of the gall Tao city, he shouted loudly: "Hurry up and open the door in the city, a certain is Yuan Benchu!" ”

At the head of the city, he poked his head out and saw Yuan Shao, and he hurriedly ordered the door to be opened.

But he might as well flash a person beside him and said: "General, if the Han army takes the opportunity to get in, it will be difficult to protect the gall pottery, now Yuan Benchu is already a lost dog, but the eldest prince is thriving in the state, I might as well abandon Yuan Shao, as long as I keep the gall pottery, and echo with the eldest prince in the future, it will not lose its wealth." ”

Pulling Zhao was furious, turned his head to look, and found that this person turned out to be Jiao Fu.
