Chapter 18 The first snow of the fifth year of Jian'an
"Hurry, hurry!" Guo Yuan's eyes were already red, Gao Gan asked him to defend the ferry, and he must not let Gao Shun come over, once Gao Shun established himself here, Gao Gan, who was already somewhat unstoppable, would fall into the danger of being attacked by the enemy on his back, and the entire Xihe and Shangdang would be exposed to Lu Bu's iron hooves.

The second wave of soldiers and horses has also been under the cover of Gao Shun, successfully docked again, this time the soldiers did not go ashore, under the command of Gao Shun, constantly with bows and arrows to the rear of the Yuan army to pour arrow clusters, a piece of Yuan army in the unobstructed situation, in the crowd was taken away by the arrow clusters falling from the sky.
"General, you can't go on again!" The deputy general saw some clues, and saw that Guo Yuan was still anxiously commanding the soldiers to add up, so he hurriedly grabbed Guo Yuan: "That Gao Shun is simply to lure us to attack, the terrain of the ferry is narrow, and our people can't use it at all, but Gao Shun keeps shooting our soldiers and horses with bows and arrows, and if this continues, how many soldiers and horses are not enough for the other party to kill!" ”
When Guo Yuan heard this, he glanced at the soldiers who had suffered heavy casualties on the ground, and then looked at the solid shield wall erected by Gao Shun, countless arrows continued to sweep through the air from behind the shield wall, like the screams of death, ruthlessly depriving his soldiers of their lives, and his face suddenly turned iron-blue.
"Stop the attack, the archers don't shoot at the shield wall again, throw me at the rear of the enemy army, the army in front slowly retreats, and lure Gao Shun's soldiers and horses out for me!" Although he was angry, he had not lost his composure, at this time, if he retreated rashly, Gao Shun was afraid that he would directly rush up with that momentum, and when the time came, the retreat would become a rout.
It's a pity that he is facing an invincible trap camp, his opponent is Gao Shun, and at the moment when he slowly mobilized his troops, Gao Shun keenly captured the flaw that was not a flaw!
"Trap the camp, attack!" Feeling that the pressure on the shield suddenly decreased a lot at a certain moment, Gao Shun took a deep breath and shouted loudly.
"The will to fall into battle, there is death and no life!" Eight hundred trapped camp warriors withdrew their shields one after another, and the steel knife in their hands was cut mercilessly at the moment when the other party was ready to retreat, and pieces of blood flowers gradually diffused into blood-colored mist.
"Kill!" Gao Shun rushed left and right in the crowd with the trapped camp, countless Yuan troops were squeezed into the water by the crowded crowd, and the soldiers in the rear stepped on the ferry in a steady stream under the cover of the trapped camp, the red blood made the ferry lose its original color, life was as fragile as grass mustard at this moment, and there were people killed in battle and people falling into the water at every moment.
After the end of a charge, Gao Shun retreated to the rear and commanded the three armies to fight, and the archers who came up from the rear began to occupy Diao Dou, shooting at the opposing crowd from Diao Dou.
An overwhelming rain of arrows was thrown from the rear of Yuan's army, and a large number of soldiers were killed by the merciless rain of arrows as soon as they boarded the ferry.
Gao Shun held a shield in one hand, blocked the surrounding arrow clusters, and indifferently issued one order after another, as a general, he could share weal and woe with the soldiers in peacetime, and be as close as a brother, but once on the battlefield, as a general, his first thing is to win the battle.
Countless soldiers were killed by arrows, but an endless stream of soldiers were constantly sent from the opposite bank, under the command of Gao Shun, constantly moving forward, the arrows on both sides converged in the air into a cloud of death, devouring the lives of soldiers on both sides, trapped in the camp after a year of hibernation, re-proved their power to the world, steel knives, strong shields, clean and neat means, shields to separate the opponent's attacks, and then a knife fell, the enemy machete, and then advanced, the battle line in the camp under the brave killing, continue to advance, The entire ferry crossing has been covered with corpses from both sides.
Finally, some people began to be unable to bear the huge mental pressure, and began to run backwards, and the number of people is increasing, the cold river, once it falls in, it is basically a dead end, frontal combat, the courage of the camp makes these Yuan Jun finally understand what elite people are, when there are more and more people who escape, and there are fewer and fewer people who can stick to their positions, Gao Shun finally slowly breathed a sigh of relief, this battle is considered to be won, as long as this ferry is won, the entire Xihe County, in front of him, will no longer be hindered.
The icy wind became more and more urgent, and the sky began to start at some point, snowflakes drifted, and the heavens and the earth became dim.
"Why run!? Why!? Glancing back at the ferry, which was gradually returning to calm, Guo Yuan roared hoarsely at several subordinates who were also embarrassed and even covered in bruises.
"General, they're all gone, if we don't run again, we won't be able to run away!" One of the generals said astringently.
"Ho~"
With an inhumane roar coming out of his throat, Guo Yuan's eyes were red, watching Gao Shun's army begin to clean up the battlefield, corpses were piled up and burned, and from a distance, he could even see his subordinates who had not escaped surrendering to Gao Shun's soldiers and horses.
Surrender?
Guo Yuan suddenly laughed miserably: "As soon as the ferry is lost, the entire Xihe County will be exposed to Gao Shun's troops, and our army's retreat will be completely cut off, so how can I represent the general and the main bus!" ”
After speaking, he suddenly pulled out his sword and wiped it on his neck, and was about to apologize for his crimes, but was hurriedly stopped by his subordinates: "General can't, at the moment, General Gao is still in front of Lu Bu and Zhang Liao, I don't know that the back road is broken, if the general dies, wouldn't it be a Jedi for General Gao?" ”
When Guo Yuan heard this, a flash of struggle flashed in his eyes, and he turned his head and said sharply: "Quickly send someone to inform General Gao, the ferry has been broken, and the land of the West River is no longer in danger to defend, I will gather the remnants of the army, defend Zhongyang, and ask General Gao to quickly withdraw the army to the party and regroup!" ”
"Whoa!" A cronie agreed and went straight to the direction of Lishi, while Guo Yuan led the others to gather the remnants all the way and retreated to the direction of Zhongyang.
……
Ferry, Gao Shun looked at the corpses fished out of the river, most of them had frozen to death, these people had Yuan Jun's, and there were also his subordinates, the snow was gradually falling, after this snow, I am afraid that there will be a truce, Tan Ma Lai, Guo Yuan has led the remnants of the army to retreat to the direction of Zhongyang, do you want to leave a way for Gao Gan to retreat?
"Pei Yuanshao!" Gao Shun turned his head, looked at Pei Yuanshao, who had just crossed the river, and said in a deep voice: "Leave 3,000 people for you to guard here, and the rest of the people will follow me to capture Zhongyang. ”
If Gao Gan is allowed to flee back to Shangdang, it is equivalent to putting a nail in Lu Bu's back, and as the climate gets colder and colder, once the war continues, the casualties will be heavy, which is something that neither Lu Bu, Gao Shun, nor Zhang Liao wants to see.
"The general rest assured, the last general will guard the ferry, if the senior cadre does not come, if he dares to come, he will be called and there will be no return!" Pei Yuanshao patted his chest and agreed.
Gao Shun nodded, and after leaving 3,000 soldiers and horses to guard the camp with Pei Yuanshao, he took the rest of the soldiers and horses and began to advance towards Zhongyang in the wind and snow.
……
At night, leaving the stone, the lights in Lu Bu's camp were bright.
"Wenyuan, this is the first snow of the year, right?" Looking at the scenery outside the camp that was wrapped in a layer of silver, Lu Bu muttered a little distracted, what was he doing at this time last year? The year seems to be very short, but it also seems to be a long time, so much so that the memory of a year ago has begun to blur.
He likes the night, but he doesn't like the snowy night, and the light refracted by the silvery wind and snow makes the land too bright and too quiet.
"Well, the first one, after this snow, I'm afraid the river will start to freeze, and if it continues to fight, I'm afraid it will increase casualties." Zhang Liao has now joined forces with Lu Bu, standing behind Lu Bu at this moment, he sighed when he heard the words, the sword and soldiers together, sometimes it is not that you can stop if you want to, especially now that the trend of merging states is gradually becoming clear, Lu Bu wants to connect Yongliang, Heluo and Bingzhou, Shangdang and Xihe must occupy it, at this moment, Zhang Liao knows very well that they have no possibility of collecting troops.
"After this battle, even if we really have a foothold in this world, even if it is Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, we don't dare to underestimate us!" Lu Bu clenched his fists heavily and said loudly.
The news of Ma Yi has already arrived, Zhang He and Fu Zhu retreated to Huguan, I don't know if Pang De will be able to occupy Huguan before them, but with their retreat, only Gao Gan is left in Bingzhou, but Lu Bu is not ready to let it go, he wants to completely eliminate Yuan Shao's influence in Bingzhou.
"Gao Gan has some means, but we underestimated him before." When Zhang Liao heard this, a flash of excitement flashed in his eyes, but he also said a little solemnly, he thought it was a tailwind battle, who knew that Lu Bu and Zhang Liao joined forces, nearly 15,000 men and horses, and they were actually met with stubborn resistance from Gao Gan, but this was a result that neither Zhang Liao nor Lu Bu expected.
"In life, there must be accidents, and there will be surprises." Lu Bu laughed and said, "Wen Yuan won't be scared by a junior, right?" ”
"How?" Zhang Liao smiled, shook his head and said with a smile, just Gao Gan, Zhang Liao really doesn't look at it, but the current situation must be resolved quickly, and Gao Gan chose the most stupid way of playing, step by step, very stupid, but it is with this stupid method that Lu Bu and Zhang Liao are here.
"Since it won't, let's go to the camp tonight." Lu Bu looked at the goose-feathered snow outside, and said with a smile: "It can be regarded as a big gift to this junior and teach him to be a man." ”
"Tonight?" Zhang Liao looked at Lu Bu.
"Yes, tonight, the hussar battalion is temporarily handed over to you, you lead the infantry to attack, I lead the cavalry to cut off the back road, he can afford to drag it, we can't afford to spend it with him, it just happens that the sky is beautiful, this world is too bright!" Lu Bu looked at the vast world outside the camp, shook his head and said, "I don't like a single tone, so let the blood of Gao Gan dye this pale world red." (To be continued.) )
