Gongsun Zhan's careful preparation and the powerful lethality of the ballista caused a lot of trouble to the Wuhuan people, after the wreak of arrows, the number of knights who could rush to the front of the rejection array was very limited, and they could not cause much trouble to the Han soldiers in the rejection array, and their continuous attack only caused a lot of casualties to themselves in addition to increasing the confidence of the Han soldiers. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The two sides fought fiercely for half an hour, and the Wuhuan people attacked to no avail, so they had to throw down hundreds of corpses, temporarily withdraw from the battlefield, and reorganize the battle formation.

The whining horn sounded with a little unwillingness, a little anger, calling those Wuhuan knights whose morale had been hit hard.

"Up!" With a wave of his hand, dozens of warriors crossed the horse rejection array and the wide trench to the place where the Wuhuan people had been knocked down by the arrow array, searched for the Wuhuan people who had not yet died, killed them one by one, and threw their corpses everywhere to block the enemy's next attack. Slippery and sticky blood soaked into the dirt, making the dry soil muddy, it was the most dangerous roadblock for high-speed charging horses.

After resting for half an hour, the Wuhuan people attacked again. This time, they did not send cavalry to charge intensively. They knew that Gongsun Zhan himself was a master of cavalry, and he was obviously well prepared, whether it was a trench or a horse rejection formation, it was an effective means to deal with cavalry, and it was not very effective to charge with cavalry. They ordered the knights to dismount and fight on foot, patiently fighting with Gongsun Chan for position.

The trumpets sounded again, and the two hundred Wuhuan people held their shields, leaned closely together, and slowly but resolutely pressed towards the front of the formation.

Gongsun Zhan's eyebrows furrowed slightly. He knew that this approach seemed to be a one-size-fits-all approach, but it was an effective one. His strength is far inferior to Yuan Shao, and it is very unfavorable for him to fight with Yuan Shao. However, in his eagerness, he could not think of a better way, so he had to boost his morale and take advantage of the horse-repelling array and the trenches to block the attack one by one.

The drums of war sounded. The Han soldiers clenched their weapons and waited for the battle to begin. The Wuhuan people entered the arrow array, and the ballista began to roar again. But this time the Wuhuan people were prepared, they huddled tightly together, and raised the shields in their hands above their heads. Layered on top of each other, like scales. The long arrow shè on the shield, as fast as raindrops, but it is difficult to cause large-scale damage. It was only when the Wuhuan people passed by the corpses of their companions, and when they slipped under their feet and revealed a gap, that a few arrows would shè the warriors behind the shields.

The Wuhuan people passed through the large formation without danger and rushed to the front of the first row of horse rejection formations. They cheered, and the shield array dissolved, and they fought into the repulsion formation.

The soldiers of the Han army brazenly stepped forward and started an internal fight with the other party. The two sides fought bloody battles in a narrow repulsion formation. Every inch of ground under your feet refuses to give up easily.

"Throw shè!" Gongsun Xu adjusted the angle of the shè attack in time to prevent the Wuhuan people from approaching further and relieve the pressure on the soldiers in the horse rejection array. The ballista stopped striking and reloaded the arrows nervously.

Seeing that the battle ahead was stalemate, the Wuhuan people once again sent a group of foot soldiers to reinforce it. At the same time, the archers were sent to step forward to reinforce and attack the Han army's bow and crossbow array with bows and arrows, assisting the infantry to attack. Under the interference of the Wuhuan people's arrow array, the power of the Han army's arrow array was greatly reduced, and the pressure on the Han soldiers in the horse rejection array immediately increased. There were only two hundred soldiers in each of the rejection formations, although they had the strength to rely on. However, in the face of more and more Wuhuan people, their casualties still increased rapidly.

"Request for support!" Qu Chang shouted loudly as he swung his knife to fight. The flag bearer raised the colored flag in his hand and sent a request for help to the rear.

Gongsun Chan received a request for help, but was indifferent. He did not have a larger army, so he could only hope for the soldiers to fight to the death. If he supports at the first time of danger, his goal cannot be achieved.

"No one shall retreat until he has repelled three enemy attacks."

Looking at the motionless rear formation, the soldiers in the repulsion formation were desperate, they knew that the rear formation would not give them any support, they would either die here, or kill the enemy's three attacks, and then maybe get the opportunity to withdraw to the rear.

This chapter is a madman hand-hitting)

Fight to survive!

The desperate Han soldiers burst out with a formidable fighting force, and they simply drove the Wuhuan people out of the horse rejection formation again and held the first line of formation. However, their casualties were also very heavy, and after the second battle, less than 30% of them were able to stand up. They were surrounded by corpses, companions, and more Wuhuan people. In just half a day, the Wuhuan people paid nearly 500 casualties, but they still failed to win the first line of rejection.

The Wuhuan people hesitated, and there was a serious disagreement between continuing the attack or waiting for Yuan Shao to attack. The advantage of cavalry was rapid maneuvering rather than positional warfare, which was more effective for infantry led by Yuan Shao than cavalry. Qianjin is very tempting, but there are still four or five horse rejection formations between them and Gongsun Zhan's head, and even if they fill in everyone with such a casualty ratio, they may not be able to do so.

After a fierce quarrel, the Wuhuan people reached an agreement, while continuing to attack, maintaining pressure on Gongsun Zhan, and continuing to consume his troops, while sending someone to report to Yuan Shao urgently, asking him to immediately lead his infantry to reinforcements.

The battle resumed, and the Wuhuan people once again sent two foot soldiers to patiently compete with Gongsun Zhan for the first rejection of the horse formation. After paying nearly 200 casualties, they finally slaughtered all the exhausted Han soldiers and achieved initial results. Faced with the mountain of corpses, the Wuhuan people were furious, they dug out the horse rejection array, threw it into the trench, and threw the corpses of the Han soldiers inside, piling up several passages.

Seeing the bodies of their comrades killed in battle being trampled by the Wuhuan people, the Han soldiers were furious, and they kept attacking the Wuhuan people with cold arrows, and at the same time, under the cover of shields, rushed to the edge of the trench, dragged the remains of their companions over, and prevented the Wuhuan people from erecting a passage on the trench. The two sides fought and fought on both sides of the trench, and from time to time someone fell into the trench.

Gongsun Xu looked at the tragic battle in front of him and was shocked. He is just eighteen years old this year, and he has the style of his father, Gongsun Zhan, who has studied military affairs since he was a child, and this is the first time he has commanded a battle. When Gongsun Chan handed over the order flag of the former army commander to him, he was excited, but now seeing familiar faces disappear in front of him, he really felt the cruelty of war.

He remembered the two uncles who died in Katsuragi that year, and then he realized that the reason why his father was so depressed was not only because he was defeated by Yuan Shao, but because the pain of watching his relatives die in front of him, but being unable to save them, had been gnawing at his heart.

So he wants revenge.

In the back, Gongsun Chan put his hands on his knees, sat on the Hu bed, his eyes slightly closed, but his ears were listening to the movements in front of the formation. After half a day of fighting, he knew that the Wuhuan people's sharp energy had been almost exhausted, and the fact that they had waited so long before launching a third attack showed that they were hesitating, they were frightened by the huge casualties, and they doubted whether they could achieve victory.

Next, they should ask Yuan Shao for help. Yuan Shao has more troops, and the soldiers are more interested in this kind of positional battle, and once Yuan Shao comes, the situation will be even more unfavorable. If you want to expand the results of the battle, you must arrive before Yuan Shao's main force arrives.

Gongsun Zhan suddenly opened his eyes, and Huo Ran stood up: "Guard the battalion, attack with me!" ”

The three thousand knights of the Chinese army quickly mounted their horses and followed Gongsun Chan out of the big array.

Hearing the sound of war drums in the back, Gongsun Xu's young face twitched, he knew what his father Gongsun Chan wanted to do. He also knew that the morale of the Wuhuan people had plummeted after this half-day battle, but after all, the other party still had an advantage in strength, so was it too early to attack at this time?

Gongsun Xu didn't dare to ask, nor did he have time to ask, he only had time to order the prepared thick wooden planks to be erected on the trench and erect improvised pontoon bridges so that the cavalry could pass quickly. As soon as the pontoon bridge was erected, Gongsun Zhan, who was holding a double-headed iron spear, rushed in front of him, and Gongsun Chan shouted: "Father, be careful! ”

Gongsun Chan glanced back at him, raised the iron spear in his hand, shook it vigorously, and rode over.

The Wuhuan people who were fighting for the trench with the Han army saw that the Han people suddenly set up a pontoon bridge, and thought that the foot soldiers on the opposite side were going to come over to fight, and they were ecstatic, and rushed onto the pontoon bridge one after another, ready to rush through the trench, only a few people passed, and suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves in front of them, looked up, and suddenly frightened their souls.

Gongsun Zhan rushed to the horse, and the iron spear in his hand flew, stabbing down a few Wuhuan people who were stupidly standing on the pontoon bridge, and the war horse crashed into front of him with the sound of the wind, knocking the remaining Wuhuan people into the trench.

The Wuhuan people, who had been overwhelmed by the battle for positions for half a day, heard the sound of war drums on the opposite side, and were a little stunned for a while, and when they heard the deafening sound of horses' hooves and saw Gongsun Zhan, who was in the lead, they understood what had happened. They shouted in panic, some jumped on their horses, ready to start charging, and some were still standing in place, stunned as they watched Gongsun Chan approaching rapidly.

Gongsun Zhan galloped wildly and took the lead in the formation of the Wuhuan people, like a spear that had been sharpened for a long time, piercing into the body of the Wuhuan people with an irresistible murderous aura.

The three thousand knights raised their weapons and followed Gongsun Chan closely, slaughtering wantonly. They cut with horses, stabbed with spears, and struck with horses. Because of the carelessness of the moment, the Wuhuan people lost the distance of acceleration, and they were not opponents at all, and they fell off their horses one after another.

Gongsun Zhan hit the blow immediately, seized the advantageous fighter plane, and quickly advanced, they did not seek to kill, but kept kicking and beating the war horse, doing everything possible to maintain the speed of the war horse, and constantly penetrated into the formation.

The Wuhuan people were stunned by this sudden counterattack, and before they could react, Gongsun Zhan had already rushed to the Chinese army. As soon as he gave the order, the personal guards raised their crossbows in unison and pulled the crossbow machine at the panicked commander. The commander didn't have time to react at all, he was hit by the crossbow arrow, and before the scream could be released, Gongsun Chan killed, the iron spear flew, and in a blink of an eye, he killed the two Wuhuan knights who came up, and then stabbed the commander under the horse with a spear. The iron spear flipped over, and the spearhead hidden behind the elbow struck hard at the Chinese army.
