Yuan Shaoyao, who was so angry that his face turned pale, pointed to the Qingzhou army that slowly drove out of the camp in the east, and scolded.
Tian Feng, Xianbei and other strategists comforted them on the side, repeatedly explaining that the Qingzhou army, which had no moral demeanor, had just been dispatched, and all the generals had already rushed back to the various departments to prepare to meet the enemy, and our army had time to rearrange its formation, calmly meet the battle, and begged the lord not to be angry, otherwise he would fall for the enemy's despicable tricks.
The more than 40,000 soldiers of the lineage led by Yuan Shao were indeed well-trained, and they were still able to quickly regroup their formations under the surprise of surprise, and once again formed a combat phalanx, and in the sound of the earth-shattering war drums, they slowly greeted the 20,000 Qingzhou infantry soldiers who were neatly approaching. The 6,000 cavalrymen who had been guarding the two flanks took the opportunity to dismount and hurriedly took out bean cakes to store their horsepower.
Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves like thunder came loudly, and the six thousand Qingzhou cavalry that slowly moved to the two wings of the Yuan army's array began to exert their strength, and continued to speed up in the sound of war drums and sharp copper whistles, rolling up the yellow dust that rolled in the sky like an angry dragon, and launched a fierce charge.
The generals of the Yuan army, Lu Kuang and Ma Yan, who led the cavalry on both wings, were so frightened that they shouted to all get on their horses, and the 6,000 cavalry who lost the opportunity to lose their courage suddenly became a mess, and everywhere they could see the war horses turning around in chaos and the soldiers who fell to the ground in a hurry.
In the blink of an eye, the wolf-like cavalry of the Qingzhou Army had already rushed to kill, and the cavalry forwards in a cone-shaped formation did not crash into the chaotic Yuan cavalry. At the same time as it flew over the edge of Yuan Jun. Pull out the bow and shoot a dense array of arrows. Then he skillfully adjusted the direction, drew a large arc to slow down and return, began to put away the riding bow, drew the saber and gradually accelerated, and once again launched an attack in the direction of the gathering of the Yuan cavalry who were screaming miserably.
The cavalry positions on both flanks of Yuan's army quickly collapsed under the onslaught of the Qingzhou cavalry.
The huge crashing sound and wailing of the horses shook the sky, and the Qingzhou cavalry, armed with advanced sabers, stirrups and Takahashi saddles, no longer showed mercy as soon as they succeeded, and repeatedly attacked in formation, launching a crazy killing again and again.
Less than a quarter of an hour. The 6,000 cavalry of the Yuan army disappeared under the gaze of Yuan Shao and the more than 30,000 troops in the middle road, and the cavalry of the Qingzhou army, which was covered in blood, still did not stop, chasing the remnants of the cavalry that fled in all directions and slashed with their swords, just not close to the Yuan army with countless crossbowmen half a step.
The tragic state of the cavalry seriously affected the morale of more than 30,000 foot soldiers in the middle road, and the frightened and angry Yuan Shao and his subordinate Wenwu were also frightened to the soul, and watched the cavalry of the Qingzhou Army calmly return to their own wings to rest, but they had to stiffen their heads to face the difficulties, and quickly ordered the transfer of more than 20,000 fresh troops to guard Hejian City, and launched a desperate all-out attack on the Qingzhou Army at the same time.
Yuan Shao's resoluteness was purely helpless, and he knew very well that the entire battle situation was in danger. If you don't attack decisively, start a melee with the Qingzhou army. Once the cavalry of the Qingzhou Army who returned to the formation eased up, the two wings of the army that had lost the cavalry escort would inevitably be violently attacked by the superior cavalry of the Qingzhou Army, so that they could no longer escape the doom of the rout of the whole army.

The sound of war drums was shocking, and the forward array composed of 10,000 soldiers on the middle road of the Yuan army was moving faster and faster, and the fierce battle between the two armies was about to break out.
The forward phalanx of the Qingzhou Army suddenly stopped advancing in unison, and the five thousand sword and shield soldiers of the second array changed their formation with the sudden change of war drums, accelerated their speed through the passage between the spear phalanx in front, and erected a dense shield wall in front of the gun array.
Thousands of Yuan soldiers surged like a sea tide, and hit the shield wall stretched out densely with spears, a huge impact sounded, roars and screams broke through the dust, smoke and blood mist churning in the sky, countless long knives slashed towards the heavy shield, countless guns were strung with desperate screaming bodies, and the dense Yuan soldiers were still rushing forward and fighting bravely.
The shield wall of the Qingzhou army has been smashed open several large openings, and the rear row of guns accelerated in the rapid sound of copper whistles, the front row of spears was flat, and the rear row of spears slanted forward, quickly meeting the team of Yuan Jun who broke through the formation and entered the hideous face, and began another round of tragic fighting.
Just when the battle line of the Qingzhou Army was constantly deformed and crumbling, the loud military horn suddenly sounded, and the cavalry on both wings launched again, without hesitation, crashing into the two wings of the Yuan Army that had been chaotic, and the three thousand crossbowmen of the Qingzhou Army who quickly moved to the front began to shoot round by round, and the fierce offensive of the Yuan Army was quickly contained.
The situation on the battlefield took a sharp turn for the worse, and the two wings of the Yuan army, which had lost protection, were the first to collapse under the trampling of the iron cavalry of the Qingzhou army, and Yuan Shao's desire to launch a melee was shattered.
The fierce and fierce cavalry of the Qingzhou Army immediately seized this rare opportunity and chased the dense Yuan army that fled in a hurry to kill as much as they could, and the infantry of the Qingzhou Army who had recovered their formation raised their spears and stepped on a pool of blood to launch a counterattack on all fronts.
There was a panic on the platform of the Chinese army generals in the west, Yuan Shao closed his eyes in pain, and just as he was about to give the order to retreat on the whole line, the Qingzhou army on the battlefield stopped advancing in the sound of gongs, and under the cover of the cavalry, he did not hesitate to turn around and run back to his camp.
The sudden drastic change made Yuan Shao and his henchmen Wenwu on the general stage stunned, and they couldn't figure it out until most of the Qingzhou army in front of them retreated, and the cheers behind the general platform rang out, Yuan Shao and all his henchmen were happy to find the dust and smoke rolling up in the northwest, heard the sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer like rolling thunder, and saw the bright battle flag in front of the large number of cavalry rushing at high speed - the most powerful cavalry of the army led by General Wen Chou was killed!
There was a rush in the camp of the Qingzhou army, and the main general Zhang He quickly ran off the platform and came to the angry Fu Min, and explained kindly without waiting for Fu Min to speak:
"Half an hour ago, I just received two batches of scouts urgent report, just after noon they met the lieutenant of the Youzhou Middle Army who came to report urgently, saying that it was the general of the Yuan army, Lu Yi, who colluded with the Xianbei Zuoxian King nearly 10,000 cavalry, suddenly crossed the pass, slaughtered into the upper valley where the army was empty, and burned all the way to Jixian County."
"General Gongsun had to urgently evacuate the battlefield and rush back to the old nest, so that the Wenchou army, which confronted the Youzhou army and camped on the south bank of the Hutuo River, was no longer contained, and soon left more than 20,000 foot soldiers to continue to guard and monitor, and Wenchou personally led tens of thousands of cavalry to help the battle at high speed, so after receiving the urgent report, I had to sound the gong to collect the troops."
Fu Min listened to Zhang He's explanation, where can there be any resentment? didn't bother to wipe the blood stains off his face, and asked eagerly, "Oh no! What if Yuan Shao's army resolutely turned around and retreated south and rushed back to Yecheng? ”
Zhang He smiled confidently: "At this moment, there are no less than 8,000 corpses and seriously injured people of Yuan Jun lying on the battlefield, and more than 10,000 people are wounded and fleeing and are still fleeing in all directions, so at least before dark, the morale of Yuan Jun, who is in chaos and chaos, cannot ease his breath, Yuan Shao will have to do it tomorrow morning even if he wants to leave, let's still have time to discuss it and see how to drag him and entangle him." ”
"Good! Listen to you. ”
Fu Min immediately ordered the cavalry units to eat as soon as possible, feed the war horses and seize the time to rest, and then entered the main tent of the Chinese army with Zhang He and other generals, and at the same time sent a team of scouts to immediately detour south, and reported to the lord Liu Cunyu about the battle situation on the battlefield on the north road and the new changes.
