Although there were only a few thousand cavalry, the might of the county soldiers was far from being able to resist the soldiers who had not been trained all winter.

When thousands of iron horsemen circled around Yuan Shujun, Yuan Shujun began to stir. Gradually, there were signs that it could not be suppressed, and even the formation began to shake.

Looking at the soldiers and horses under his command who had already appeared defeated before engaging in battle, Yuan Shu closed his eyes in pain.

The soldiers and horses under his command with some combat effectiveness had been defeated by the Gaoyang army in front of him when they were in the Tiger Prison Pass before. Now this patchwork and random pulling of soldiers and horses will definitely not be Gao Yang's opponent. His previous hope of repelling Gao Yang was obviously just a dream, and now it was finally shattered.

The strength is too weak, there is no quantity but no quality. In the face of the real zhèng strong army, it is just a free gift. Because of the loss of strength, even Sun Jian, who was originally loyal to his subordinates, was greatly disappointed in him and his brother and returned to Changsha.

The drums of war are like thunder, and the flags cover the sky.

Thousands of elite cavalrymen shouted and raised the chain crossbows in their hands, relying on the huge advantage of the weapons in their hands in terms of range and lethality, and tilted the arrow rain towards the panicked Yuan Shujun array in a circle.

"Chen Lan!" Yuan Shu, whose eyes were bloodshot, suddenly turned his head to look at a general beside him, and shouted angrily, "You take the cavalry to drive them away!" ”

Yuan Shu's generals such as Ji Ling, Zhang Xun, and Lei Bo had all fallen during the battle of Tiger Prison Pass. At this time, the only famous general who could be called by his side was Chen Lan.

Chen Lan, whose eyes were a little dull, looked at the dense thousands of elite Gaoyang Army iron horsemen who came and went like the wind, and swallowed with some difficulty. After a pause, he bowed to Yuan Shu, and said in a deep voice, "Lord, the strength in our hands is insufficient, and the cavalry attack is just a waste of death." Why don't we withdraw our troops for the time being, and return to Nanyang City to hold on and wait for reinforcements. ”

Cavalry was the noble arm of this era. A well-trained adult war horse consumes enough food for seven or eight sergeants in one day. Moreover, the training of war horses is difficult, and it is easy to damage the toes in the era when there were no horseshoes. Or it is easy to sweat after a long gallop. All of this will result in the easy loss of horses that have spent a lot of resources.

A war horse is really suitable for more than ten years. This further leads to the fact that war horses are a scarce material.

Yuan Shu, who had suffered a painful defeat before the Tiger Prison Pass, lost almost all the cavalry troops under his command, which directly led to a great loss of strength. Even if he vigorously rebuilt it after returning to Nanyang City, where is this kind of aristocratic army so easy to form and so easy to train?

At this time, the cavalry under Yuan Shu was only a few hundred horses, not even a thousand horses. This little bit of training liàn insufficient troops to be invested in a big war of such a scale can't even turn a wave. At this moment, the Gaoyang cavalry harassing around the Yuan Shu army array was at least more than 5,000 cavalry, not to mention that there were tens of thousands of huge cavalry queues in the Gaoyang army's main formation?

Chen Lan's suggestion cannot be said to be wrong, and the attack at this time is indeed just a waste of death. However, where would the angry Yuan Shu care about these at this moment? Hearing that Chen Lan dared to disobey her orders, she immediately exploded.

'Choking~~~' made a crisp sound. In a fit of rage, Yuan Shu pulled out his sword with his backhand. Staring at Chen Lan with a fierce light, his thick wrist clenched the hilt of the sword, and shouted, "Dog thief!" To go or not to go?! ”

Chen Lan's eyes changed abruptly and she gritted her teeth. There was a look of indignation flashing in his eyes, he lowered his head slightly, bowed down, and said, "The last general will take the order." After saying that, he turned the horse's head and instigated the war horse under his crotch to run towards the cavalry queue.

"Humph!" Looking at Chen Lan's distant back, Yuan Shu snorted heavily. If it weren't for his own generals, almost all of them would have been lost in front of the Tiger Prison. Then he just beheaded Chen Lan, who dared to disobey his orders, to show the public.

Chen Lan is okay, and she has barely fulfilled her responsibilities as a general. He led hundreds of cavalry to launch two brave attacks on Zhang Liao's troops on the left flank of the army, after heavy losses under the rain of arrows. Chen Lan fled the battlefield with the last hundred or so remaining cavalry, fleeing in the direction of Nanyang City in the distance.

And Yuan Shu no longer had the energy to pay attention to Chen Lan who had escaped. Frontal battlefield. The tens of thousands of crossbowmen led by Gao Shun have already approached his home camp with firm steps!

"Alright, let's strike too." Pulling the reins, his eyes blazing, Gao Yang, who was in high spirits, took the spear from the victory hook. shouted to the generals beside him, "Defeat Yuan Shu in a battle today, and you can go straight to Jingzhou tomorrow!" ”

"Xia Jingzhou! Lower Jingzhou! The more morale-boosting sergeants raised their weapons and shouted loudly.

"Attack!" As Gao Yang swung the spear in his hand forward. A huge contingent of tens of thousands of cavalry began to move slowly. They were obviously divided into two groups, one on the left and one on the right, detouring from both sides of the crossbow army led by Gao Shun. The cavalry cluster following Zhang Liao and Xu Huang outflanked Yuan Shu's army on both flanks and the rear road.

"Withdraw, withdraw, withdraw, withdraw!!" Yuan Shu, who sensed that things had reached a critical juncture, could no longer hold on.

Seeing the large number of sergeants in front of his queue being damaged in large numbers like lodging waves of wheat under the rain-dense array of arrows, Yuan Shu, who was jumping wildly in the corners of his eyes, felt that he could no longer hold on.

And after the dense thunderous roar came, Yuan Shu, whose face was pale, finally understood that nothing could be done. He knew very well in his heart that once he was surrounded by such a large number of cavalry clusters, then he really didn't want to escape.

At this moment, Yuan Shu felt remorse in his heart. watched the defeat of the defeated army, and watched the large-scale battle damage of the soldiers and horses under his command. Yuan Shu regretted that he actually chose to fight with Gaoyang. If you had made up your mind to flee far away early, you would have been able to retain some of your strength. How can I almost lose all the old bottoms like now.

Yuan Shu fled.

Under the escort of more than 100 elite guards beside him, Yuan Shu, who took three warlike horses, fled in embarrassment. Under the pursuit of a large number of Gaoyang cavalry, he ran fast with his own horses, ran thirty miles ahead of schedule, and hurried back to Nanyang City.

"Chen Lan, open the door!" Looking at Chen Lan, who had just returned to Nanyang City on the city wall, Yuan Shu, who had lost his helmet, shouted loudly at the top of his voice, "Open the city gate quickly!" ”

At this moment, in the distance behind him, a large number of Gaoyang cavalry chasing after him were already faintly visible, and the huge smoke and dust raised when they galloped. Yuan Shu, who was anxious, scolded and anxiously urged Chen Lan to open the door quickly. A distance of thirty miles is really not a very long distance for a cavalryman.

"General Hou." Chen Lan on the Nanyang city wall looked unpredictable, looking at the large puffs of dust and smoke rising in the distance, and after his face alternated between blue and white several times, he gritted his teeth and looked at Yuan Shu under the city, and shouted loudly, "Nanyang City can't be defended." Instead of dying in vain, it is better to surrender for the sake of the lives of the people in this city, right? ”

Yuan Shu was slightly stunned, then his face turned red, staring at Chen Lan on the city wall, and scolded, "You white-eyed wolf!" How dare you betray me?! I'm going to peel you off! I'm going to kill your whole family!! ”

Chen Lan's expression was awe-inspiring, she gritted her teeth, and shouted fiercely with a fierce look in her eyes, "Yuan Highway!" Don't you know what's wrong! If I wanted to take you, I would have opened the door and let you into the city to take you down in one fell swoop! How dare you speak out here? Your family is in the city right now! ”

Chen Lan's words immediately made Yuan Shu silent. After seeing Yuan Shu's silence, Chen Lan smiled a little and said, "General Hou, you and I have the grace of knowing each other, I have to demote Gao Taiwei today for the sake of the people in Nanyang City." Don't blame me. Also, I will take good care of the general's family. The cavalry of the Gaoyang Army is about to catch up, so the general should leave quickly. ”

Good birds choose trees to perch on, and trees fall and scatter. This is a very normal thing. Yuan Shu has already lost**, and it is understandable that Chen Lan wants to take another path.

Yuan Shu turned to look at the approaching Gaoyang pursuers, and angrily pulled out the sword at his waist and threw it on the ground. He looked at the majestic Nanyang City Wall again, and shouted angrily, "Go!" ”

Yuan Shu's original plan was to hurry back to Nanyang City and order Chen Lan to take a group of soldiers and horses to stop Gaoyang's pursuers and buy him time. As for himself, he quickly left with his family's belongings, as well as the soldiers and horses left behind in Nanyang City, to join his brother, the powerful Yuan Shao. It's just that Chen Lan's sudden betrayal disrupted all of Yuan Shu's plans, forcing him to flee in embarrassment with more than a hundred personal guards.

Facing a large number of Gaoyang pursuers who wanted to capture him for meritorious service, Yuan Shu relied on the quality of his war horses along the way, and there were many rotating horses. Only then did he escape the fierce pursuit of the pursuers. However, the guards around him were also chased and killed one after another, and only seven or eight horsemen remained.

Yuan Shu passed by Woniu Mountain on his way to Hebei in embarrassment, but he didn't want to be stopped by the thieves in Woniu Mountain. The thieves demanded horses and armor, as well as valuable goods around them. Yuan Shu naturally refused. If the two sides can't get along, then they can only fight. After a bloody battle, Yuan Shu and the few remaining guards under his command were all killed.

The thieves on Woniu Mountain learned of Yuan Shu's identity when they examined his corpse, and they were so panicked by Yuan Shao's revenge that they almost abandoned the camp and fled. After learning the news that Taiwei Gao Yang had broken Yuan Shu under Nanyang City a few days later, he hurriedly took Yuan Shu's corpse and belongings to Nanyang to join Gao Yang.

The thieves in Woniu Mountain are all remnants of the Yellow Turban Army, and there are two leaders. One is named Zhou Cang, and the other is Pei Yuanshao. (To be continued......)
