Chapter 136: The Battle of the Boundary Bridge, Gongsun Chan died

Gongsun Zhan's mood has been very irritable recently, not only unwilling to give up Jizhou to Yuan Shao, who deceived him, but also a little worried about the situation in Youzhou.

At the beginning, it was decided to let Liu Bei control the political affairs of Youzhou, but in fact, Gongsun Chan was helpless. Because there is no decent talent under his hands who can help him take care of these things, he can only let Liu Bei do this in the end.

Although Liu Bei was asked to take care of Youzhou's political affairs, it was impossible for Gongsun Zhan to really believe him. In addition to the 10,000 white horse righteous servants and the 20,000 soldiers he brought out, he also left more than 10,000 soldiers, and let his henchman, Yan Gang, guard Youzhou in Jixian Town, mainly to prevent Liu Bei.

Originally, Gongsun Zhan planned to deal with Yuan Shao until his forces were exhausted. But in recent days, there has been news from Yan Gang's side, saying that the people of Youzhou seem to be very supportive of Liu Bei's governance of Youzhou.

It was precisely because of this news that Gongsun Zan was deeply afraid that Liu Bei would seize his foundation, so he did not plan to continue to deal with Yuan Shao, and set up a position at the boundary bridge, wanting to have the final decisive battle with Yuan Shao at the boundary bridge.

Although Yuan Shao was very surprised that Gongsun Zhan would suddenly want to fight at the boundary bridge. But considering that he has just taken control of Jizhou, if he doesn't make a quick decision, it will be endless troubles. Therefore, this decisive battle is also what Yuan Shao is willing to see.

On the plain, the two armies faced each other. Compared with the more than 10,000 majestic white horse servants of Gongsun Zan on the opposite side, Yuan Shao's side only had a pitiful 2,000 light horsemen, plus 30,000 soldiers.

On the plains, the number of cavalry can easily determine the outcome of a battle. This situation is obviously very unfavorable to Yuan Shao's side.

However, Yuan Shao was obviously not very worried about this situation. At this time, he was looking at the right hand side, the eight thousand crossbowmen on a phalanx, and the nearly two thousand strong crossbows on both sides of the waist, each with two strong crossbows, a shield and a long knife behind their backs, these are the confidence of Yuan Shao to deal with Gongsun Zhan's more than 10,000 white horses.

"Lu Yi, whether you can defeat Gongsun Zan in this battle depends on whether you can take these people and take down his White Horse Yicong!" After looking at the strong team, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Yuan Shao's eyes, and then he opened his mouth and said to the sturdy middle-aged general beside him.

Lu Yi was originally a general under Han Fu. Because he was dissatisfied with Han Fu's incompetence and wanted to let the capable Yuan Shao sit on the throne of Jizhou, when Gongsun Zhan raised troops to invade Jizhou, Lu Yi did not lead his troops to meet it. It can be said that Yuan Shao was able to successfully get Jizhou, which Han Fu handed over, and Lu Yi played a great role in it.

At this time, Koji Yoshishi was looking at the white horse Yoshiko opposite. After hearing Yuan Shao say this, he retracted his gaze, and solemnly bowed his hand to Yuan Shao and said, "My lord, please rest assured!" Although Gongsun Zhan's white horse Yicong is good at riding and shooting, my first dead soldier is not a soft egg, and there are 8,000 crossbowmen here, Koji Yi will definitely not disappoint the lord! ”

Hearing Ko Yi's answer, Yuan Shao first nodded with satisfaction, then looked at the two fierce generals beside him who were sturdy and fully armored, and said with a solemn expression: "Yan Liang, Wen Chou, you also heard Ko Yi's words just now, and Bai Ma Yi handed it over to him to contain." The two of you each led 10,000 foot soldiers, give me the courage to kill those people on the other side, this battle can only be won, not defeated, understand? ”

"We will definitely not disappoint the lord!" Including the three leading generals, after hearing Yuan Shao's words, everyone shouted in unison.

In Gongsun Zhan's camp, hearing the shouts from the opposite side, Gongsun Zhan, who was standing in front of Bai Ma Yi's formation, was stunned for a moment at first, and then a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The comparison of the strength of the two armies can be seen through at a glance. Gongsun Zhan didn't believe that Yuan Shao, who only had 2,000 light horsemen, would be able to block the attack of the White Horse Yicong. In his opinion, Yuan Jun's chanting at this time was just posturing.

"Led by Shan Jing five thousand white horse righteous servants, assault on the right side. The rest of the white horse followers followed me to the left side. Charge and kill! Gongsun Zhan, who believed that he could win this battle, stood up, raised the spear in his hand high, and roared angrily.

With the army of Gongsun Chan on the opposite side, he charged towards his side. Yuan Shao was also not to be outdone, and ordered Yan Liang and the second general Wen Chou, with 20,000 soldiers, to meet the infantry on the opposite side, and he was under the protection of Liyi, ready to meet the attacking white horse servants on both sides.

At this time, Gongsun Chan led Bai Ma Yicong to bypass Yan Liang, and the 20,000 foot soldiers led by Wen Chou had come to the range of Yuan Shao's army on the left side, looking at Yuan Shao, who was surrounded by two thousand light cavalry, Gongsun Chan shouted at Bai Ma Yicong behind him: "Whole army, throw!" ”

Looking at the dense air of arrows whistling towards where they were. Yuan Shao was also so frightened that his scalp was numb at this time, and he was covered in cold sweat.

Compared with Yuan Shao's worries, Lu Yi seemed very indifferent, came to Yuan Shao's side with a gun, and then shouted at the dead soldiers behind him: "Go first, raise your shield!" ”

As soon as Ko Yi's words fell, a large shield was drawn from behind the two thousand first-born dead soldiers, and instantly formed a shield wall in the shape of a cauldron lid, protecting Yuan Shao in the middle.

As soon as he was covered by this big pot lid, Yuan Shao, who was originally frightened, could hear the arrows outside hitting the shield wall in the pot lid, and the sound of "Bangbang" kept coming.

Seeing the several rounds of throwing from Bai Ma Yicong, although he shot and killed many crossbowmen and light cavalry, the arrows that shot at Yuan Shao's place were blocked by the shield wall in the shape of a pot lid. Gongsun Zhan's brows couldn't help but wrinkle, could such a soldier be an ordinary sword and shield soldier?

Although there were doubts in his heart, at this time, the white horse Yicong was already approaching the range of the opponent's crossbowmen. Before he had time to think about it, Gongsun Chan ordered again: "Put away the strong crossbow and throw the flying axe!" ”

As soon as Gongsun Zhan's words fell, he saw those white horse servants behind him, quickly placing the strong crossbow on the side of the horse's back, and then each pulled out a half-arm-long small axe from behind his back, and swung it towards the Yuan army's camp.

The reason why Gongsun Chan was able to lead the White Horse Righteous Cong Megatron was not only because they were good at shooting, but also because they carried two soldiers, one of which was that kind of small axe, which could make them the bad news of the sword and shield soldiers used. The other is the spear in the back, and with close combat and horsepower, this is definitely a light cavalry that makes the foot soldiers fearful.

Looking at the more than 5,000 white horse servants holding flying axes on the opposite side, Koji Yi's face was no longer sure just now. Swallowing his saliva, he said in a mournful voice: "Protect the lord and set up three layers of shields!" ”

Although under the timely response of Lu Yi, most of the first to ascend to the dead, the three-story shield wall that was lined up protected Yuan Shao's location. But there are still half of the people who haven't reacted and vacated Yuan Shao's right side. And in the face of the flying axe that fell from the sky, what would happen without the protection of the shield wall? The results can be imagined!

Although the crossbowmen also suffered losses when the axes attacked, many crossbowmen were just brushed by the axes, so the losses of the crossbowmen were not large. However, this is only the crossbowmen in the back, and the two thousand light cavalry in front have passed through the few rounds of arrows just now, as well as the flying axes that are now attacking, and there are not many left. As a pre-arranged shield in front of them, they clearly did their duty.

"Spear up, charge!" After the throwing axe was thrown, Gongsun Chan roared, held a spear, and rushed towards those crossbowmen in the lead!

"Closer, closer, closer!" Looking at the left and right, the white horse Yoshi, who was getting closer and closer, thought silently in his heart.

Under the nervous silence in Koji Yi's heart, Hakuma Yoshitsu finally entered the range of the crossbowmen. "Shoot me!" Ascend first for a strong crossbow! ”

With Kojiyi's order, the crossbowmen on the left and right were divided into two columns. A column squatted, shooting straight towards the war horse of the white horse. The other column stood, crossbows and bows raised and projected.

The shooting of the crossbowmen caused many of the charging horses to fall, and then there were constantly white horses falling from the fallen horses, and some were hit by arrows in the throwing.

Looking back at the fallen white horse followers, Gongsun Chan didn't have time to feel heartache and loss, his eyes were red and he continued to charge with a spear. In his mind, it takes time for crossbows and bows to be loaded with arrows, as long as they rush through this distance, those crossbowmen can definitely only become the fish and meat of Bai Ma Yi from the knife in close proximity, and they can't run away.

"Ahh didn't wait for Gongsun Zhan's joy to come when he was about to rush into Yuan's camp. On the right side, the white horse led by Shan Jing was constantly wailing.

Hearing this constant wail, Gongsun Chan looked at the place where Shan Jing was located and saw a scene that made him heartbroken.

I saw that Shan Jing, who was about to rush into the Yuan army's camp with the white horse Yicong, was already full of arrows at this time. And the white horse servants behind him only had more than a thousand horsemen left at this time.

Turning his gaze to the two thousand Xiandeng dead soldiers who had caused this consequence and were armed with double crossbows, Gongsun Chan pointed his spear at them, staring at his blood-red eyes and roaring: "Kill me!" ”

In the face of the charging white horse servants, those crossbowmen were like lambs meeting a tiger, and they could only dodge and flee in all directions.

However, would Yuan Shao be so stupid to only place these crossbowmen? The answer is clearly no!

"The first to board the dead, the future is unstoppable!" Just when Gongsun Chan picked up the crossbow soldiers in front of him, and wanted to find some more people to kill, in order to vent his hatred, Koi Yi raised the long knife in his hand and shouted loudly at the two thousand soldiers behind him who had abandoned the strong crossbow and the sword and shield in their hands.

"Unstoppable!"

"Unstoppable!"

"Unstoppable!"

The two thousand first ascended to the dead, slapping the shield with the long knife in their hands, and took a few steps forward, shouting in unison.

"Kill!" Gongsun Chan had already been carried away by hatred, and he didn't have time to think about why these sword and shield soldiers not only defended so perfectly, but also equipped with two strong crossbows. At this time, he just wanted to give these sword and shield soldiers who dared to provoke and give their white horse righteous followers unbearable losses a bloody reward!

In the face of the white horse righteous servant who rushed straight forward, Koji Yi held a shield to block a spear that white horse Yi stabbed straight from, and then rolled over, waved his knife and cut off the horse leg of the war horse, looked at the fallen war horse and the white horse righteous servant, and shouted coldly to the first dead soldier behind him: "Kill the horse!" ”

With Koji Yoshi's order, although some of the first dead soldiers failed to block the attacking spears and died under the guns of Hakuba Yoshiko, there are still most successful examples.

Completely unafraid of the threat of death, one by one, after successfully cutting off the legs of the war horses, the first to kill the white horse servants who fell off the war horses, and then continued to rush towards the white horse servants who were still raging in the Yuan army's camp.

The fight continued, and after a while, looking at the white horse Yicong who was less than a thousand left beside him, Gongsun Zhan, who had killed the red-eyed Gongsun Zhan, finally woke up.

Looking at the less than 1,000 people who had gathered around Ko Yi, a look of horror spread all over Gongsun Zhan's face.

At this time, Gongsun Zhan no longer had the idea of defeating Yuan Shao, he just wanted to lead the remnants of the men and horses to withdraw to Youzhou as soon as possible.

However, if Gongsun Chan wants to leave, will Yuan Shao let him go so easily? The answer is clearly no!

"Lu Yi, leave Gongsun Chan for me, don't let him run away!" Seeing that Gongsun Chan had stopped the offensive and already had the intention of retreating, Yuan Shao, who had been under the protection of dozens of guards, hurriedly shouted loudly.

Although Yuan Shao thought that this battle would be won, he never imagined that Lu Yi would achieve this level! With 8,000 crossbowmen to be shot, 2,000 light cavalry as meat shields, and 2,000 first dead soldiers as hole cards, and finally more than 10,000 horsemen rode white horses, killing less than 1,000 left.

As long as Gongsun Chan is won here, Youzhou can be profitable!

"Withdraw!" As soon as Yuan Shao's words fell, Gongsun Zhan turned the horse's head and shouted loudly at the only remaining white horse Yicong beside him.

"Whew!" Seeing Gongsun Chan riding away, Koji Yi behind him chased after him, snatched the spear from the hand of a dead white horse Yi on the ground, and threw it towards Gongsun Chan's back.

β€œkuang!” Feeling a strong wind behind him, Gongsun Chan bent down slightly.

The spear that flew quickly picked up Gongsun Zhan's helmet and stuck it diagonally on the ground!

"Leave your head!" Dodging this blow of the flying spear, without waiting for Gongsun Chan to sigh the feeling of escaping death, a glaive knife slashed in front of his eyes, and a deep voice came.

Hey? I didn't look up, why was I able to see this? Looking at the blue sky and white clouds, Gongsun Chan flashed the last thought of his life!

187 A.D., March

Gongsun Zhan brought more than 10,000 white horses and more than 20,000 foot soldiers to Yuan Shao, who only had 2,000 light horsemen and 30,000 foot soldiers, fought a decisive battle at the boundary bridge. However, the result of this battle blinded the eyes of the world!

The white horse obeyed, and the whole army was annihilated! More than 10,000 foot soldiers were surrendered by Yuan Shao, and Gongsun Zhan was beheaded by the general Yan Liangzhen!

After the battle of this boundary bridge, the prestige of the first deceased man spread all over the world!
