Jizhou!

Originally, last year, this was 191 A.D., Yuan Shaogong and Sun Zan should have fought for Jizhou. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 However, because of Liu Wei's holy decree, the two were strictly ordered to call off the army and truce. The two did not dare to be presumptuous, so they stopped the army and made a truce, and Gongsun Zhan occupied the three counties of Hebei River, Zhongshan and Changshan, and all parts of the country looked at the wind and surrendered.

And Yuan Shao was mainly anti-guest, Han Fu gave Jizhou to him, Yuan Shao became the assassin of Jizhou, and the Yuan family's power in Jizhou was deep-rooted, and they soon took control of Yecheng.

Later, in order to suppress Yuan Shao's development, Liu Wei asked Han Fu to be the pastor of Jizhou, but Han Fu was deeply afraid that Yuan Shao would harm his life, and in fear, he actually committed suicide. In this way, Jizhou nominally became Yuan Shao's jurisdiction.

Yuan Shao was mainly anti-guest, first let Gongsun Zan send troops to invade Jizhou, and lured Pan Feng to lead 30,000 elite soldiers from Jizhou to the north, and then secretly made the Montenegrin army out of the mountains to attack various places. Han Fu was afraid that Jizhou would lose, so he conceded Jizhou to Yuan Shao.

When Pan Feng learned that Jizhou had changed hands, he disbanded 30,000 elite soldiers, only 10,000 elite soldiers went north with Pan Feng to vote for Liu Yu, and the remaining 20,000 were obtained by Gongsun Zhan.

Under the leadership of Han Fu, Jizhou does not repair armor, and these 30,000 leading soldiers can be described as the main force of Jizhou. The rest are all the old people who are sick and disabled, Yuan Shao only has 30,000 soldiers and horses, plus all the old people in Jizhou who are sick and disabled, in fact, there are only 30,000 soldiers in the headquarters who can fight.

And Gongsun Zhan is deep in the border pass, with 50,000 elite soldiers under his command, and 3,000 white horses are unparalleled in the world. and got the original 20,000 elite soldiers under Pan Feng's command, only weapons and armor can be formed, Gongsun Zhan brought 30,000 elite soldiers from Beiping, plus 20,000 elite soldiers, a total of 50,000 troops, has been in the upper hand in the battle with Yuan Shao.

In the past half a year, although because of Liu Wei's order, the two forces still fought against each other, and there were no major wars, but small contradictions emerged one after another, and Yuan Shao had been on the defensive.

The time came to the beginning of May 192 AD, and for several months, Gongsun Zhan fought successively, swept through the counties of Jizhou, and the soldiers and horses were stationed in Panhe.

The Panhe River is on the border of Qinghe County in southern Hebei, with Yangping County to the south, Anping County to the north, and Guangping County to the west, which is the junction of the four counties. Up to now, in the face of Gongsun Zhan's soldiers, Yuan Shao retreated again and again, and only Guangping, Wei County, and Yangping were under his command.

Gongsun Zhan's soldiers and horses were in full swing, and Yuan Shao was out of breath, and Gongsun Chan naturally did not forget Liu Bei, who had been staying by his side. Now under the command of Gongsun Zhan, the quality of the fierce generals who can fight well is far inferior to that of the fierce generals under the command of Yuan Shao, so Gongsun Chan shows Liu Bei as the plain minister, but he keeps Liu Bei's three brothers by his side, hoping to use Guan Zhang's courage to fight against Yuan Shao.

Gongsun Zhan's soldiers and horses were stationed in Panhe, and Yuan Shao also led 30,000 soldiers and horses, and the two armies were twenty miles apart, facing each other on both sides of the boundary bridge.

South of the boundary bridge, Yuan Shao's camp!

Now under the command of Yuan Shao, it can be said that there are many talents, including General Yan Liangwen Chou, Zhang He Gaolan, Ju Yi, Gao Gan, Lu Xiang and Lu Kuang brothers, Chun Yuqiong, Jiang Qi, Han Meng and others, in terms of strategists, there are Guo Tu, Feng Ji, Xu You, Judge and others. There are also many talents from Jizhou families who are similar to Yuan Shao, this kind of lineup, except for senior talents, Yuan Shao's lineup in terms of intermediate talents, even Liu Wei can't compare to him.

Yuan Shao's big tent in the army, the civil and military are divided into two rows, there are many talents, dozens of people, it is not lively, Yuan Shao sits in the main seat.

"Ziyuan, you have an idea, Gongsun Zhan's soldiers and horses entered the Panhe, I, the assassin of Jizhou, only have three counties, and if I retreat again and again, I am afraid that I will not even be able to keep Yecheng!" Yuan Shao pinched his beard with one hand and tapped the table with the other, facing Gongsun Zhan's soldiers, he was obviously a little anxious.

"In addition to the three thousand white horses under the command of Gongsun Zhan, there are also 10,000 cavalry, and Jizhou is a horse Pingchuan, facing the cavalry, it is really difficult to win! That's why I suggest that the lord stay away from the edge for the time being! Let Gongsun Zhan's army go deep into the hinterland of Jizhou alone! Xu You arched his hand, but there was no panic on his face.

Yuan Shao shook his head and sighed: "But the counties of southern Hebei are also a flat river, there is no danger to defend, and if you retreat, there is no way to deal with Gongsun Zhan's cavalry!" ”

Xu You got up and said with a smile: "The lord doesn't need to worry, although the cavalry is strong, it can't defeat the divine weapons, in the past half a year, I have ordered people to build thousands of ballistas!" Lord, please follow the next look! ”

Xu You made a gesture of please and motioned for Yuan Shao to come out of the camp tent and watch!

"Oh? Ballista? Get out there and check it out! Yuan Shao got up, his eyes lit up, he stroked his hair, and followed Xu You out of the camp tent. All the civil and military officers in the palace also followed out of the camp together.

I saw that on the school field outside the camp tent, ten crossbow beds were displayed side by side. I saw that this ballista, with four wheels below, can be used to propel, about one meter in length, width and height, and on top of it are some rather complex structures, as if building a huge bow, which can be pushed by about one person.

"How powerful is this crossbow? Can you deal with Gongsun Zhan's cavalry? Yuan Shao looked at the crossbow cart, his eyes were full of surprise, and he didn't believe that this dead thing could deal with the powerful cavalry under Gongsun Zhan.

"Come, show the lord how powerful this ballista is!" Xu You clapped his hands and motioned for the sergeant to demonstrate to Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao and Zhong Wenwu stared at the ballista with great curiosity, wanting to witness the power of the ballista. Three hundred paces in front of the ballista was an earthen wall, which had been improvised by Xu Youren to demonstrate the power of the ballista.

The soldier brought the arrow and prepared to load and fire, but it was made of iron, about several feet long, like a small javelin.

"Chirp!"

Ten ballistas were fired at the same time, and the sound of the bolts breaking through the air rang out, and they shot towards the earthen wall in an instant.

"Shhh Yuan Shao gasped, "I can't imagine that this ballista is so powerful?" With this sharp weapon, why not be afraid of Gongsun Zhan's cavalry! Hmph, look at him and dare to run rampant with me! ”

Behind Yuan Shao, all the generals were amazed, only to see that the ten crossbow arrows were all shot into the earthen wall, and even castrated unabated, half of them were all into the earthen wall, and they were stuck on it. If this kind of power is used against cavalry, I'm afraid that a single crossbow arrow can penetrate several cavalry, right?

Seeing the power of the ballista, Yuan Shao put his mind at ease, returned to the camp, and asked Xu You: "Now that there is this ballista, how should I use it to defeat Gongsun Zhan?" ”

The "lord ......" saw that Xu You had built a crossbow car, and when they were in the discipline, Guo Tu and the others immediately got up, wanting to offer advice and fight for merit.

"Report!" Suddenly, a small school walked into the camp, and Yuan Shao frowned and said, "What's the matter?" Don't you see that I'm debating a way to break the enemy? ”

"The lord forgives the sin, but it is an urgent report from Luoyang!" Xiao Xiao Cheng said in fear.

"Luoyang again? Present! ”

"Hmph, damn it, now that Gongsun Zhan's troops have entered the Pan River, the Son of Heaven actually ordered me to stop the army and truce! If you miss this time, won't you let Gongsun Chan consolidate his power, which will be very disadvantageous to me! How good is that? Yuan Shao said angrily.

"The Son of Heaven is deep in the middle of the gate, don't worry about him!" Xu You sneered and said that Xu You had never been loyal to the Liu Wei royal family, and he had conspired to abolish Liu Hong, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty.

"It's... If he does not respect the holy order, he will send troops to attack in the coming day, but what is good? Yuan Shao worried.

"The lord doesn't need to panic, the Son of Heaven has just been closed, the strength is not stable, it is not three years and five years, it cannot consolidate the power, if the Son of Heaven sends troops, the rear will be unstable, the lord don't worry! What's more, after three years and five years, the lord will be able to dominate Hebei, and there will be no fear of the Son of Heaven attacking at that time! Xu Yu arched his hand.
