Chapter 365: Defeated Youzhou
Gongsun Zhan has been dominating the world for many years, and has experienced countless battles, how can he be afraid of Ma Tie a hairy boy, on the contrary, if he can capture Ma Tie, he can make Ma Chao throw a mouse taboo, which will be greatly beneficial to the future war, and shouted at the moment: "It's a joke, if your brother Ma Chao is here, the general may still be afraid of three points, but how dare you, a yellow-mouthed child, call a battle with the general?" ”
Ma Tie was furious, picked up the big axe and rushed up, shouting in his mouth: "Gongsun Pifu, and eat an axe from a certain family!" ”
Gongsun Zhan was overjoyed, but he didn't expect Ma Tie to be so uncontrollable, and he picked up the horse lance and was about to step forward to meet the enemy in person, so he only heard a voice shouting at this time: "Kill chickens with a cattle slaughtering knife?" Princess Bulao personally went out on the horse, and Jing was willing to capture the horse alive and dedicate it to the lord's account! ”
Everyone looked at it, but it was Guan Jing, the general under the command of Gongsun Zhan. Gongsun Zhan knew Guan Jing's ability, nodded and said, "In this way, there will be General Lao Guan!" ”
"Willing to serve the Lord!" Guan Jing answered, and raised his knife to meet Ma Tie. The two soon fought together, swords and axes, and the fight was not enthusiastic. Ma Tie belongs to the strength of the general, the family axe method is also very good, over the years with the army in the south and north of the war, the battle is extremely experienced, only less than ten battles to occupy the absolute upper hand.
Gongsun Zhan couldn't help but be secretly frightened when he watched the battle from the sidelines, his martial arts were only a step higher than Guan Jing, if the odds of winning the battle with Ma Tie were only five or five, it would be impossible to capture Ma Tie alive with his ability. But he really didn't want to give up such a good opportunity in front of him, and after a little heaning, he couldn't help but have an idea in his heart, and whispered a few words to Zou Dan beside him at the moment. The latter received the order and secretly took a hundred horsemen to the dust.
Ma Tie was able to kill his surname, and he became more and more handy with his innate divine power and a seventy-eight-pound axe. By the time he reached the thirty heads, Guan Jing was already unable to support him, and he could be killed at any time. Gongsun Zhan didn't want to fold Guan Jing, so he picked up the horse lance and greeted him, shouting loudly: "Shiqi and retreat first, see that the general personally cut Ma Tie!" ”
After Guan Jing got the order, he shook his sword and left. Ma Tie chased after him with an axe, and was about to be blocked by the oncoming Gongsun Zhan, and the two of them fought back and forth. Gongsun Zhan was born in a local tyrant, capable of literature and martial arts, and once worshipped the great Confucian Lu Zhi as his teacher, and Liu Bei is also a brother. As for the martial arts, Gongsun Zhan in the romance once single-handedly fought Lu Bu, and fought until more than ten times before he was defeated and retreated, and he retreated with his whole body, this ability is not simple, looking at the Three Kingdoms, there are only a few people who can retreat under Lu Bu.
Although Ma Tie is brave, after all, he is still young, and his strength has not yet grown, and he has fought with Gongsun Zhan for more than 50 years, but it is an equal game, and no one can have the upper hand.
Gongsun Zhan struggled to parry, and said disdainfully: "How loyal and righteous General Fubo Ma Yuan was back then, how did you become a rebel with usurpation in your generation!" Now that Yuan Gong raised an army to fight for horses, he would never stand idly by, and he would definitely capture Er and the other four brothers and Ma Teng together and behead them in public, in order to comfort the spirit of the first emperor in the sky! ”
Ma Tie was furious and shouted: "Gongsun Pifu! I swear not to share the sky with you! With that, he used all his strength to attack Gongsun Zhan. Gongsun Zhan's martial arts and Ma Tie are between the best, and it is not easy for Ma Tie to resist when he is crazy, but fortunately, he is extremely experienced in battle, and although he loses the wind, he will not be defeated.
By the time the battle reached Lily, both of them were sweating profusely and panting. Gongsun Chan saw that the time was almost delayed, so he left with a flick of his horse.
How can Ma Tie be willing? picked up the big axe and chased after the horse, shouting loudly: "Gongsun Pifu is gone!" Now it is said that it will never die! At that moment, the two of them chased and fled, and went straight to the northeast.
The trial who watched the battle in front of the battle couldn't help frowning, if Gongsun Chan fled back to before the battle, it would be fine, but he did not return to his own position, but ran to the northeast, in case there was an ambush in advance, wouldn't Ma Tie be in danger? shouted at the moment: "Poor Kou Mo chase, the general still needs to come back quickly to preside over the overall situation?" ”
Ma Tie had already been carried away by anger, turned a deaf ear to the words of the match, and chased straight towards Gongsun Chan with a big axe, and the two quickly disappeared into the dust.
The judge was shocked, and hurriedly instructed Tian Hukang beside him: "The little general is in danger, please send troops to assist the prince quickly!" ”
Tian Hukang and Ma Tie are also old acquaintances, so he nodded immediately, turned around and shouted: "The whole army obeys the order, quickly defeat the rebels to help the general, and those who behead the enemy will be rewarded!" ”
"Kill!"
"Charge!"
The 20,000 iron horsemen immediately hung up their swords and launched a fierce charge with their iron bows. The cavalry of Gongsun Chan on the opposite side did not show weakness, and with an order, the two sides charged almost simultaneously.
Although there were many Gongsun Zhan's cavalry, the most elite troops were only 5,000 white horse volunteers. Dressed in a white robe, riding on a white horse, armed with a spear, and wearing a strong bow, the White Horse Yicong was also a brave and warlike warrior who was proficient in riding and archery. As the two large groups of cavalry approached, the two sides first sniped with bows and arrows at a distance, and the armor of the two sides was equal, the strength was equal, and the losses were not much different.
As the distance advanced, the two armies put away their bows and arrows almost at the same time, the Hun soldiers took out their swords, and the cavalry of Gongsun Chan were all holding spears, and a cruel bloody battle was inevitable. Seeing that the vanguard of the two armies was about to start a battle, the situation changed again, and I saw five thousand white horses suddenly hang up the spear in their hands, and pulled out a seven-foot-long javelin with a sharp metal head from behind and threw it. Five thousand spears flew straight towards the Hun cavalry with terrifying might, and caused a lot of casualties to the Hun cavalry in just one round.
But it was much more than that, after one round, it was followed by a second round. The javelin is the oldest weapon of mankind, but it must be trained to be fully powerful. Although the javelin is not as powerful as a strong bow and a crossbow in terms of long-range striking power, it is far greater than the bow and arrow in terms of short-range lethality.
Not only that, the throwing speed of the javelin is also far greater than that of the bow and arrow, and the accuracy of the head is all based on feeling, and each person shoots three javelins in less than 100 steps, causing at least 5,000 casualties to the Huns. The Hun cavalry lost more than six or seven thousand people when the two armies were still competing for long-range firepower.
However, the Hun cavalry has always been known for its bravery, and although it suffered heavy casualties, it did not have the slightest intention of fearing it. At the moment, holding a horse chopping knife, the cavalry fought against the cavalry and Gongsun Zhan's troops in one place, the stumps and broken arms flew horizontally, the blood flowed like a river, and people continued to fall off their horses and die, which was extremely tragic.
However, he said that Ma Tie bit Gongsun Chan tightly, and his heart was furious, vowing to behead Gongsun Chan under the horse. As soon as the two chased and fled, they broke away from the two armies and ran twenty or thirty miles away, and walked to a dense forest.
Gongsun Zan looked back and saw Ma Tie chasing after him, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, turned around and laughed: "Ma Tie thief, if you have a kind, you will fight with your grandfather for another three hundred rounds!" ”
Ma Tie said angrily: "Piff leave!" I swear to kill you! "Said that he was in a hurry to urge the war horse. However, Gongsun Zhan has been mixed in the border between Youzhou and Wuheng for a long time, and the cavalry team under his command is not short of good war horses, and his own war horses under his crotch are one of the best horses in a million.
After walking less than five miles, Gongsun Zhan suddenly reined in the war horse and laughed: "Ma Tie thief, you have been in the limelight in the past few years, but I didn't expect that you are a brave and unscrupulous fool!" As soon as the words fell, the sound of dense horses' hooves suddenly sounded around, and in a blink of an eye, more than a hundred cavalrymen came up from all around, and the spears in their hands flashed with a faint light, and they were extremely sharp.
Ma Tieli knew that something was wrong, and shouted: "Thief, let you go today, when the general is transferred to the army, the Ru Gongsun family will be removed from the Han Dynasty!" "Let's get off the horse!
Gongsun Zhan said disdainfully: "My surname is still difficult to protect, and you dare to speak wildly? I really don't know whether to live or die! As he spoke, he waved his horse lance and yelled: "Take down Ma Tie quickly, remember, Ben is going to live!" ”
"Obey!" More than 100 cavalrymen immediately received the order, these people were Gongsun Zhan's personal soldiers, and they were the most elite. After receiving the order, he immediately launched an attack on Ma Tie from all directions.
Ma Tie didn't want to fight, so he swung a big axe and slashed several people in a row and rushed out of the encirclement. But less than twenty paces had he taken it, when his horse stumbled and fell headlong under it, and was hooked by the cavalry that followed, and then tied it firmly.
Outside Gaoyang City, the two teams of cavalry were still fighting to the death, and the entire front of the battle was like a hell on earth, full of human corpses and horse corpses, and there were many people who had broken hands, broken feet, or seriously injured people who were not dead for a while were groaning in pain. It was a harsh winter, and the blood of the soldiers on both sides was left on the ground and immediately froze into ice, which was unbearable.
There are a total of 40,000 troops on both sides, all of whom are brave and good at fighting, and after more than an hour of fighting, there are less than 20,000 people left, which can be described as a defeat for both sides. But under the command of their respective generals, neither of them had the intention of backing down, and vowed to decide the winner. Seeing that the situation was critical, and the trial was helpless, at this moment, I saw a pair of people and horses about seventy or eighty riding straight forward. Ma Tie was hit by a rope, was captured alive, and was tied up and dragged behind the horse, still scolding himself.
The trial almost didn't faint when he saw it with a telescope from afar, and urgently ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops. Gongsun Zan saw that the Hun cavalry was fierce, and he didn't want to fight to the end, so he immediately ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops. Both sides left corpses in one place and stopped fighting for the time being.
Gongsun Zhan's face was full of spring breeze, and he didn't care about the dead corpses all over the ground at the moment, and took a few steps forward and shouted: "Who is the person in charge, Ma Tie has become the meat of the chopping board, if you don't want him to die, hurry up and answer!" ”
The judge's face turned pale, so he had to take a few steps forward and say loudly: "The trial is here, Gongsun Zhan is rampant!" Do you know the identity of General Ma Tie? ”
Gongsun Chan said disdainfully: "Ben will know it!" Yuan Shao waved millions of troops to fight for horses, he would have been a loyal minister of the Han family, and he should have made every effort to crusade against the national thief Ma Chao! You don't have to use Ma Chao to scare the general, if the general is afraid of him, he will not send troops to Jizhou! ”
The judge was expressionless, and shouted in a deep voice: "You keep saying that my lord is a national thief, but what is the difference between what Keer and others have done and a national thief? The matter has come to this point, it is useless to say more, if you have something to say, otherwise when my lord comes with a large army, it will be a situation of annihilation! (To be continued.) )
