The sunshine at the beginning of summer is not scorching, and the heat is shining brightly, which makes people energetic and energetic.

Yuan Shao marched towards the land of Sanfu with 100,000 troops, and the former army commander Yan Liang frowned deeper as the journey lengthened.

None of the scouts sent to explore the front have returned!

What does this mean?

The enemy is ahead, and they are heavily armed!

Just when Yan Liang was about to report this situation to Yuan Shao, a soldier ran back from the front and clasped his fists at him and said, "General, a large group of cavalry is coming from the west!" ”

Yan Liang was startled, and looked at it from a distance, the dust was flying, the smoke and dust were billowing more and more, and the sound of horses' hooves gradually rose from a faint momentum.

Yan Liang really wanted to give that soldier a big mouth, and the opposing cavalry was killed in front of him before he reported it, how did this enemy situation find out?

didn't care too much, on the one hand, he ordered to set up a formation to defend against the enemy, and on the other hand, he sent someone to report the military situation to Yuan Shaoyu.

There were 30,000 vanguard troops led by him, 50,000 Chinese troops led by Yuan Shao himself, and 20,000 rear troops behind Zhang Jaw.

Yan Liang was anxious at this time, his troops had 10,000 archers, 10,000 pikemen, and 10,000 sword and shield soldiers.

But to really restrain the enemy's cavalry, you have to rely on Yuan Shao's Chinese army, where there are 10,000 crossbowmen plus 20,000 iron cavalry!

But the enemy army came suddenly, and he hurriedly resisted the enemy, and the formation was not chaotic.

He is a brave general, lacking in strategy and wisdom, but he knows a lot about the art of war.

The 30,000 troops quickly unfolded, lined up in formation, orderly in layers, pikemen in front, sword and shield soldiers to protect the archers, and archers in the back, the whole force was in a fan shape, which not only prevented the enemy cavalry from rushing to the dense area unscrupulously, but also created an encirclement, as long as the opponent's cavalry slowed down, it would be surrounded and killed locally.

I saw the cavalry leading the wind, rolling up the dust and surging, and the soldiers on the horse were covered in silver armor, holding a halberd, and a white feather on his shoulder, which was the silver feather flying horse.

The general who is attacking the unified army is naturally the chief general of the Jinfan Army, Gan Ning!

Gan Ning took the lead, carrying a long bow, from far to near, he saw clearly the enemy's formation and response measures, and also saw Yan Liang's banner, the corners of his mouth raised a sneer, temporarily withdrew the short-handled long knife in his hand, took off the bow and arrow, Gan Ning galloped on his horse, slightly bowed down and stood up, bent the bow full moon, and the arrows broke through the air like lightning.

Yan Liang had already noticed the other party's main general, Gan Ning, and when he saw Gan Ning drawing his bow and releasing arrows, several guards had already held shields in front of Yan Yan.

The whizzing arrows struck, and Yan Liang was unharmed.

The shield standing in front of him was also intact.

Only a flag swaying in the wind slowly fell.

Gan Ning took the lead, and Yan Liang's banner fell!

Seeing that his army flag was shot down by Gan Ning, Yan Yan was furious, the flag was a signal, it was the face of the army!

"What are you doing! Don't hurry up and put up the flag! ”

Yan Yan was furious at the soldiers around him, if his banner fell, Yuan Shao of the Chinese army would probably think crankily after discovering it.

Yinling Fei rode like a dragon into the sea, coming and going like the wind, before approaching Yan Liang's army, he took the initiative to change the direction, originally towards the center, but directly hit the left wing of Yan Liang's army, and then the wind swept the clouds, and did not stay where he went, the soldiers waved the halberd in their hands and killed wantonly, from the left wing all the way to the north, the left wing, the middle, the right wing, like a violent wind swirling, Gan Ning led the Yinling Flying Horse not to go deep into the enemy, and swept the outermost troops of the enemy army without stopping, and retreated directly, and the direction of retreat was not the direction they came, Rather, it is north-west, where Weishui and Luoshui meet.

Knock back with one hit.

After the first battle, Yan Liang watched his front of the battle being stirred upside down, but the actual loss was not heavy, he left nearly three hundred silver feather flying horses sporadically, and only paid less than a thousand casualties.

To chase or not to chase?

He can't be the master of this, so he must consult Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao learned that Gan Ning led the Yinling Flying Horse to attack, and the losses on both sides were not painful, but what should he do next?

Is it to take Chang'an directly or pursue the Yinling Flying Horse?

"Lord, Guo Jia now has no geographical advantage, and only the cavalry in his hands can inflict heavy damage on our army, the only strange soldier in his hand is this Silver Feather Flying Horse, as long as the lord exterminates this army, no matter whether Guo Jia fights hard with the lord or defends to the death, he will definitely be defeated."

The suggestion of the trial is to destroy the Silver Feather Flying Rider first, then it is necessary to pursue.

The other counsellors did not speak.

Yuan Shao also felt that it was necessary to exterminate the Yinling Flying Cavalry first, judging from the casualty ratio just now, if this cavalry unit continued to harass him, it was very likely that 10,000 cavalry would be exchanged for his 40,000 or 50,000 foot soldiers, which was obviously not cost-effective.

Moreover, Yuan Shao's grain and grass were transported from Hebei, the road was far away, and his soldiers and horses only had 100,000 troops around him, if he did not destroy the enemy on the way to Chang'an, then if the enemy army went around his rear and cut off his grain route, his consequences would be unimaginable.

To restrain the Yinling flying horse, Yuan Shao had to dispatch his Chinese army.

"Chun Yuqiong, you lead 20,000 cavalry, Ju Yi, you lead all the crossbowmen under your command, you and Yan Liang pursue the enemy together, and I will lead the rest of the troops to arrive later."

After Chun Yuqiong and Ju Yi received the order, they led the army forward, and after joining Yan Liang's soldiers and horses, nearly 60,000 soldiers and horses chased north.

Cao Ying, who was watching him give orders beside Yuan Shao, was silent, he was not qualified to point fingers at Yuan Shao, even if it was a suggestion, he would not spit out a word in front of Yuan Shao's subordinates.

Tempting the enemy!

This is obviously a temptation!

Cao Ying just thought about the problem in a different way, if Guo Jia really planned to use the Yinling Flying Cavalry as a surprise soldier, it would not be exposed during the day, and it would not appear when they had just left Tongguan and had not yet stepped into Sanfu, to cut off Yuan Shao's retreat, Yinling Flying Cavalry could go to Tongguan when they were halfway through, or they could use foot soldiers to feint and cavalry to raid.

No matter what method is used, the appearance of the Silver Feather Flying Horse so early is definitely not the main force to destroy the Yuan army, otherwise what is it to retreat with one blow? Do you really want to be a little ghost stalking Yuan Shao?

If Guo Jia is capable of this, what kind of battle will he fight? Go straight back to Yizhou.

Could it be that none of Yuan Shao's strategists saw that this Silver Feather Flying Horse was a lure to the enemy?

No, there must be.

The key is that Yuan Shao can't let Yinling Fei ride around freely, if Guo Jia wants to pick a good place for a decisive battle, Yuan Shao will also accompany him.

Guanxi is flat, there is no danger of Kuihan Guanzhong, where Guo Jia wants to fight a decisive battle, Yuan Shao doesn't mind, there is no mountain and dangerous road, his 100,000 soldiers and horses will not be surrounded by Guo Jia's more than 50,000 people, right?

The three generals who pursued Yinling's flying cavalry, Chun Yuqiong, Yan Liang, and Ju Yi, the three of them were chasing each other, but they were also suspicious in their hearts.

Regardless of what they will do, studying the terrain before the battle is a must.

The terrain to the west of Tongguan is flat, to the north is Weishui, and there are no high mountains here.

Could it be that Guo Jia built a bridge on the Weishui River and let Yinling fly across the river and then demolish it?

This is too inconsistent with the art of war, if it is a strategy to cross the river and demolish the bridge, then Guo Jia might as well reinforce Hangu Pass.

Suppressing the doubts in their hearts, the three generals led the army all the way to the north, chasing the tail of Yinling's flying horse to the edge of Weishui.

At this time, nearly 60,000 soldiers were dumbfounded.

There is still a mile away from Weishui, and in front of Yuan Jun is a high wall, which is not visible at a glance, from east to west, cutting off their way.

And at the east end of this stone wall is another high ground, on the high ground, there is a person standing proudly, the appearance is not clear, but the name of the big man behind the person is very clear.

Outer part!

Guo Jia!

The highlands are from top to bottom, layer by layer fortification, the army is dense, the crowds are crowded, the Yinling flying cavalry has arrived on the highland, and the vanguard of the defense force is the archers and crossbowmen led by Zhang Liao.

Yan Liang, Chun Yuqiong, and Ju Yi were all dumbfounded.

They are in the low place, and Guo Jia is in the high place.

Can the state iron rider rush? Are Juyi's crossbowmen useful? Is it against the trend with human life?

Guo Jia, Shengsheng has created a condescending situation.

That high wall, they only thought that Guo Jia had built it to prevent them from outflanking it.

Yuan Shao has 100,000 soldiers and horses, and Guo Jia has nearly 60,000.

Out of such concerns, Yan Liang didn't dare to rush, so he could only shout and curse at the high ground from a distance of 100 meters.

The spearhead is directed at Guo Jia.

Guo Jia, who looked down at him with a sword, was unmoved.

No matter what famous general the person in front of him is, even if it is not Yan Liang, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Lu Bu, Xu Huang, Zhou Yu, Tai Shici, etc., he will be indifferent.

These people are not qualified enough to make today's Guo Jia look at him differently.

A minister is a minister, and the lord is a lord.

Guo Jia wants to talk in front of the two armies, the other party should be Cao Ying, Yuan Shao, Sun Ce, Liu Biao and other monarchs, not a military general, even if you are a famous general in Hebei, even if you are a powerful general, your status has always been a world away from me.

Yan Liang was disrespectful, and even wanted to provoke Guo Jia by insulting him, so that Guo Jia could send his troops down for a decisive battle, but he did not receive any results.

When Ju Yi and Chun Yuqiong saw this scene, they could only wait helplessly for Yuan Shao to arrive, whether to rush hard or find another way, let Yuan Shao decide, anyway, Yuan Shao will lead the army to arrive in less than an hour.

An hour later.

Yuan Shao led 20,000 Chinese troops and 20,000 rear troops with Zhang Jaw to the scene.

Seeing this scene, the corners of Yuan Shao's mouth flashed with a sneer.

There is no geographical advantage, Guo Jia will create his own geographical advantage.

Guo Jia, a genius full of scheming, is he already exhausted?

Chun Yuqiong came to ask Yuan Shao what to do, whether he was planning to rush hard.

Yuan Shao stared at Chun Yuqiong like a fool and asked, "Why attack?" Now that he knows where Guo Jia's soldiers and horses are, why bother attacking and damaging himself? You lead 30,000 soldiers and horses to be stationed here, as long as Guo Jia comes down from the high ground, you will fight him to the death, and I will lead my troops to take Chang'an. ”

Chun Yuqiong suddenly realized, and after flattering Yuan Shao a few words of wisdom, he retreated.

When Yuan Shao's army converged, Guo Jia, who was on the high ground, finally raised his sword.

Guo Jia's expression was faint, looking at the east from afar, as if he could see the peach blossom plug in the east of Tongguan.

"Yuan Shao, Cao Ying, in the spring of next year, when the mountains are full of flowers and the peach color is gorgeous, I will go to your grave to worship."
