Chapter 7: Rushing into battle
"Old man, I'm going to fight again!" Gently patted the head of the war horse twice, and the old and deep voice of Gongsun Chan floated in the night.
"Kaesong!" When Gongsun Chan failed to dissuade him, Tian Kai had no choice but to comply, and gave the order to open the city with his voice in his voice.
The heavy gates slowly opened.
Through the cracks that flashed through the city gates, what appeared in front of the soldiers of the Gongsun Army was a dark night.
"Tian Kai, lead the white horse to open the way from the front!" Pointing out of the city, Gongsun Chan gave his first military order before leaving the city.
Tian Kai clenched his fists in response, greeted Bai Ma Yicong, and squeezed out from the slowly opened city gate.
Seven or eight hundred snow-white war horses, like white ghosts and ghosts in the night, ran out of the city, and quickly killed the Yuan army in the east of the city.
The last one rode out of the city on a white horse, and Gongsun Chan waved his hand and shouted, "Get out of the city!" ”
The mighty cavalry followed closely out of the city, and the infantry soldiers who followed the cavalry also trotted all the way, pouring out of the open city gate.
Two miles to the east of the city, the soldiers under Yuan Tan's command wore armor and held sharp, just waiting for the sound of killing at the south gate or the north gate, and then immediately went to help.
A fast horse galloped from the direction of Yijing and went straight into the barracks.
"Eldest son!" Before Yuan Tan approached, the knight on horseback shouted: "Gongsun Chan did not go out of the city from the north and south gates, but went straight out of the east gate!" ”
The scout reported that Yuan Tan was taken aback.
He and his staff and generals agreed that Gongsun Zhan did not dare to kill from the east gate, only Yuan Xu thought that the enemy army would break through from here!
Just because Yuan Xu was born in a concubine, his contempt made him ignore the controversy at that time.
It turned out that he and his staff and generals were wrong!
Guo Tu and Chun Yuqiong glanced at each other, revealing guilt and panic that they couldn't hide.
If this battle is lost, Yuan Tan can't guarantee that he won't anger them!
Yuan Tan only needs to report the things discussed in the account truthfully, and Yuan Shao will be guilty, and the two of them can't afford it!
Chun Yuqiong didn't say anything, Guo Tu whispered to Yuan Tan: "Eldest son, Gongsun Zhan came out of the east gate, nothing more than self-defeating......"
With a solemn expression, Yuan Tan raised his hand to stop him.
Gongsun Chan really caught him off guard.
However, he is also a battle-hardened person, and he did not mess up!
"General Chun, you immediately lead the army to intercept and kill the enemy army!" The previous deployment was only one of the two gates in the north and south, and the headquarters did not take any precautions, and the order issued by Yuan Tan was also very hasty: "Guan Tong and Liu Xun each led their soldiers to sweep the formation on the left and right flanks!" ”
Guan Tong and Liu Xun received the order, and immediately led the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to line up on the left and right flanks, and Chun Yuqiong beckoned the cavalry of the Yuan army and rushed straight to Yijing City.
Countless cavalry rushed out, and the sound of hooves was like a beating war drum, rolling up billowing smoke and dust, and killing in the direction of Gongsun's army out of the city.
Yuan Jun was in the rear, and Yuan Xu crossed his hands and looked at the direction where the cavalry rushed out.
Far from the front, he didn't hear the scout's message.
However, as he rushed out of the cavalry, he felt as if the situation had changed.
"What's going on? Could it be that Gongsun Chan has already left the city? Beside Yuan Xu, a group of fire-headed soldiers stood on tiptoe and looked ahead, and one of them muttered in a low voice.
Yuan Xu's face was solemn, and he didn't answer the words of the Huotou Army.
In the history of his impression, this battle should have been won by Yuan Jun, but from the current situation, he did not feel the slightest breath of victory.
Although Yuan Tan responded, the previous preparations were all for help.
What Gongsun Chan is proud of is the cavalry that gallops in the north all the year round.
Under the attack of the fast and mobile cavalry, although the Yuan army reacted in time, it was impossible to complete the deployment!
Could it be that his crossing changed the trajectory of history and changed history?
The thought came from the bottom of his heart, and then he denied it.
It shouldn't be, the main force of the Yuan army faced Zhang Yan, even if Yuan Tan was defeated this time, the demise of Gongsun Zan was a sure result.
It's just that there seems to be a deviation in the details......
"Pack up your blades and get ready to fight!" The cavalry had already rushed out of the distance, and Yuan Xu's words surprised the firehead army beside him!
"I'm just a fireman...... looking at him in amazement, and a firehead muttered in response, his trembling voice revealing the fear of fighting.
"Let's look at the movement of the army, it is important to save your life when necessary!" Glancing at the firehead army, Yuan Xu said: "Many times, attacking is the only way to save your life!" ”
Yuan Tan had a large number of soldiers and horses, and the Huotou Army did not understand why he gave such an order.
Many even thought he was going to be in the limelight.
No one opened their mouths to refute it, but almost every firehead had a plan in their hearts.
They are just firemen who burn the fire with the army, Yuan Xu really wants to be in the limelight, and refusing to fight is not disobeying the military order!
Even though they had the intention of refusing to fight, two or three hundred fireheads still took out their blades......
The white horse galloped at a high speed, and saw a cavalry sweeping towards them from a distance.
Tian Kaifei rode and charged, and the spear pointed forward, and roared: "Kill!" ”
Hundreds of white horses followed closely behind him, rolling up puffs of smoke and dust, and rushed up against the cavalry of the Yuan army!
"Longbow ready for battle!" , getting closer and closer to Yuan Jun, Tian Kai roared loudly again.
Hakuma Yi took the longbow from behind his back and set up arrows on the bowstring.
The sharp arrows were aimed at the cavalry of the Yuan army who rushed forward, and Bai Ma Yicong, who was not superior in numbers, was full of excitement.
After many years of fighting on the battlefield, every time they go to war, the Hu people in the north are all frightened!
After being surrounded in Yijing City for two or three years, they had already held back their killing intent, just waiting for this day to come, so that they could vent their evil anger!
The two cavalry charged at each other, their heavy hooves striking the ground, and the earth trembling with the thunderous sound of hooves.
"Shoot the arrows!" The two sides are getting closer and closer, and seeing that they are already within the firing range, Tian Kai gave the order again!
Countless arrows flew out from the galloping white horse and rushed towards the cavalry of the Yuan army opposite in the moonlight!
Gongsun Jun fought with the Hu people all the year round and practiced the ability on horseback.
During the years when the Yuan army fought against the Gongsun army, although the cavalry also grew, most of the time it was still only engaged in reconnaissance, detours and other tasks.
Although the number was superior, the cavalry of the Yuan army could not compete with the white horse Yicong at all.
Patches of feathered arrows soaked in the moonlight flew towards the Yuan cavalry who were holding round shields and charging with their heads down!
"Kill as fast as you can!" Chun Yuqiong saw countless arrows flying in front of him, turning the spear like a windmill, and his legs clamped the horse's belly violently.
Under the hood of the rainstorm of arrows, the charging Yuan cavalry was knocked over.
Yuan Jun, who was shot, rolled over and fell off his horse, and was annihilated in the hooves of countless horses......
The arrow hit the charging horse, and the galloping horse's two front hooves lost their balance, rolled forward, and flew out along with the cavalry on horseback.
The neighing of war horses, the shouts of soldiers and the sound of thunderous hooves are intertwined to form a majestic and magnificent war song!
