Yuan Shao stood on the command car, listening to the roar of the horse's hooves getting closer and closer in the distance, and his eyelids jumped involuntarily. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Ten thousand horses galloping, how can there be such a might? The long history of the white horse is indeed worthy of its name. Can I beat him?

Yuan Shao did not stand with his personal guard cavalry, the personal guard cavalry had already been assembled and was ready to go, but it was the foot soldiers led by Yan Liang, He Hao and others who stood in the forefront. Because of the unique terrain on both sides, the cavalry usually arranged on the flanks was placed in the rear by Yuan Shao, and the four phalanxes composed of 20,000 foot soldiers were blocked in the front.

Temporary change is Tian Feng's insistence. Tian Feng vigorously opposed Yuan Shao's tactics of leading his guards to attack Gongsun Zhan, and even tore Yuan Shao's sleeve for this. Not only did he move violently, but he also spoke very ugly.

Gongsun Chan has been riding for many years, and he has always used cavalry as the main force, whether it is the Wuhuan people or the Xianbei people, all those who fought him head-on were defeated. So far, Gongsun Chan has only been defeated by one person, that is, the former Xianbei king Tan Shi Huai. Do you think your riding ability can be compared to that of Sandalwood? Don't forget, what kind of price Liu Xiu paid to kill Tanshi Huai, even he himself almost died at the hands of Tanshi Huai.

With cavalry, you are definitely not Gongsun Zhan's opponent, and the reason why Gongsun Chan has never been able to defeat you is because the cavalry is not good at attacking cities, not because his cavalry is not good at cavalry. If you're going to fight him in a cavalry battle, there's only one way out.

If you want to defeat Gongsun Zhan, there is only one way, first use the infantry array to consume his sharp energy. Fighting a war depends on morale, morale pays attention to one drum, then declines, three and exhaustion, uses a dense defensive infantry phalanx to consume his sharpness, and when his morale is low, the general will wait for work at ease, and the battle will be decided.

Even if you beat up the 20,000 foot soldiers today, you only need to capture and kill Gongsun Zhan. The general won. But if the general dies, even if we completely annihilate the 20,000 troops of Gongsun Zhan, we will lose, and the whole of Jizhou will lose. Can the Yuan family still win the world? It's up to Yuan Shu.

The last sentence calmed down Yuan Shao, who was on the verge of going berserk, and he accepted Tian Feng's suggestion, although he wanted to kick Tian Feng into Xize.

However, now, he is a little grateful to Tian Feng. Attacking Gongsun Chan seems to be more enthusiastic and can boost morale, but he uses his five or six thousand personal guard cavalry to compete with Gongsun Zhan's fifteen thousand elite cavalry. It is equivalent to looking for death.

Yuan Shao was glad, and his heart rose again. Cavalry against foot soldiers, small formations one against three, large formations one against five, Gongsun Chan has 15,000 horsemen, even if it is one against three, it is equivalent to more than 40,000 people, and I only have 20,000 foot soldiers. With more than 5,000 cavalry, can you stop it? Even if Gongsun Chan wants to leave some people to guard against frustration, he still has the advantage in this force.

Yuan Shao's eyes widened. With enough eyesight, he stared nervously ahead.

The terrain is special, and the four infantry phalanxes are lined up in turn, with Yan Liang's phalanx at the front. Looking at the horsemen galloping in the distance, not only were those soldiers colorless, but even Yan Liang felt a burst of panic. He looked at the familiar faces around him, and he didn't know how many more he could see after this battle. However, he still forced the fear in his heart and drew his sword out of its sheath. Standing in the middle of the phalanx of two archers, he shouted:

"Crossbowman, prepare—"

There was a "bang", and although there was some nervousness, the crossbowmen quickly entered the battle position. The crossbowmen were at the front, and the crossbowmen sat down on the ground. Kick the bowstring hard with both legs and load the arrow. The crossbows followed, pulling the strings, loading the arrows, pointing diagonally forward, the archers at the end, holding the bow in their left hand, hooking the string with their right hand, and pointing the arrows diagonally in front of them, waiting for the order to fire.

Yan Liang narrowed his eyes and stared at the cavalry who were getting closer and closer.

Three hundred steps, two hundred and fifty steps, two hundred and twenty steps, two hundred steps, into the range of the crossbow.

Yan Liang's long knife swung vigorously: "Shoot!" ”

The herald waved the bunting and gave the order.

The strong crossbow captain shouted: "Crossbowman shoots three times in a row!" Archer prepare—"

The crossbowmen pulled the crossbow machine in response, and more than a thousand crossbow arrows made a neat "buzzing" sound, left the strings, turned into a group of ominous crows, rushed out of the battle formation, drew a deadly arc in the sky, and then turned downward.

"Raise the shield-" Gongsun Chan joined forces with one man, and raised his arm shield with his left hand to block it above his head. In the rapid charge, the human body will lean forward, the most important thing is to protect the head, protect the head, that is, protect most of the body, one or two arrows in the non-critical parts, will not affect the combat effectiveness, and as long as the war horse is not shot, there will be basically no problem.

What worried Gongsun Chan was that Yuan Jun's bow and crossbow were obviously longer than those of the steppe nomads. The range of the cavalry's bow is no more than a hundred paces, and a hundred paces is only a few breaths for a cavalry that charges rapidly, and even the best archers can only shoot five or six arrows, which is three shots for ordinary archers.

However, the range of Yuan's crossbow was two hundred paces, which invisibly increased the time, and they could shoot more arrows and inflict greater damage on his cavalry. If the cavalry falls from the horse with an arrow or an arrow from the horse, it will cause chaos in the charging formation, if the number of people is very small, the people behind will have time to adjust, but if there are too many and reach a limit, the charging formation will collapse.

What worries him even more is that the terrain here is not suitable for cavalry fronts, it is too narrow and not flat enough, even without the interference of the enemy's bows and arrows, they will not be able to run at full speed as usual, which will also bring disadvantage.

In order to make up for this shortcoming, Gongsun Zhan personally led the White Horse Yicong to rush to the front, hoping to use the superb riding skills of the White Horse Yicong to speed up the charge, kill in front of the Yuan army as soon as possible, and tear their large array, as long as they rushed through the arrow array, the next thing was slaughter.

Gongsun Zhan stepped on the stirrups with his feet, his buttocks left the saddle, but his lower abdomen was tightly leaning on the saddle bridge, he listened to the sound of "dong dong" on the shield, but the eyes of an eagle looked at Yuan Jun who was getting closer and closer from the gap.

Yuan Shao was in the distance, at the rear. This coward! Gongsun Chan sneered, suddenly stood up, raised his hand and shot an arrow.

The arrow whizzed away, hitting a spearman a hundred paces away. The spearmen fell.

At the same time, more than a dozen white horse servants around Gongsun Chan also shot arrows. They are all elites who have followed Gongsun Chan for many years, whether it is horsemanship, spear skills or archery, they are all first-class, and the tacit understanding between them has also been cultivated through many bloody battles. As soon as Gongsun Zhan's arrows were shot, their arrows followed suit, and the direction was very consistent, and the accuracy was also jaw-dropping.

The spearmen fell seven or eight at once, and a gap suddenly appeared in the originally well-organized long contradiction. The officer of the Yuan Army, who was in charge of the spear formation, was taken aback and had no time to react. Gongsun Chan and his white horse were like a sharp arrow, and they went straight to the gap.

The spearmen from behind rushed over, trying to plug the gap before Gongsun Chan arrived. Gongsun Chan obviously couldn't let them do this, and he stood upright on the galloping warhorse. Ignoring the rain of feathered arrows, his bright silver armor rang out, and he shot three arrows in one breath.

The three spearmen who tried to fill the position fell to the ground one after another, killing them instantly.

The spearmen were thrown into confusion by the delicate archery of Gongsun Chan and others, and more and more corpses on the ground also interfered with their pace, and the gap was not only not caught in time, but was rapidly expanding. In their anxious eyes, a group of white figures quickly enlarged. They raised their spears in desperation. Make a final effort.

Gongsun Chan pursed his lips silently, put away his bow, held the spear with one hand, the spearhead trembled slightly, and picked up a spear, the sharp tip of the spear pierced the spearman's chest like a poke of paper, and smashed into the infantry formation. The white horse jumped slightly, and Gongsun Zhan's spear was pointed at the panicked strong crossbow captain.

Burst of blood. The strong crossbow captain screamed and was pierced by Gongsun Zhan's spear, and he held Gongsun Zhan's spear handle tightly with both hands. Blood spurted out of his mouth, screaming in despair, and was thrown out by Gongsun Zhan.

The white horse Yicong poured into the gap, and they quickly expanded their advantage with the impact of the war horse, stabbing with spears on the periphery and shooting with bows on the inside, breaking through the spear array like a bamboo, and then killing the crossbowmen.

Although the crossbowmen also carried swords, they faced these elite knights and tall and strong horses. They had no power to fight back, and they were killed all at once. More and more knights poured into the battle, and the crossbowmen were quickly slaughtered, and the knights did not stop, killing Yan Liang's Chinese army in one go.

Gongsun Chan took the lead, and the iron spear in his hand flew. The polished spearhead took the lives of more than a dozen people in an instant, and a dozen elite knights behind him followed closely, firmly guarding his two wings, and together with Gongsun Zhan, they formed the sharpest spear tip, and tore through the defense line of the Yuan army with a wave of wine, and quickly wedged into the depths.

In just the blink of an eye, the spearmen and crossbowmen at the front were slaughtered, and Gongsun Chan jumped on his horse and danced his spear, heading straight for Yan Liang of the Chinese army.

Yan Liang was shocked by the impact of Gongsun Chan and Baima Yicong, but he had not forgotten his duty, in the face of the crumbling battle formation, he slashed left and right, and killed three retreating soldiers one after another, only then he shouted: "Retreat the latter, slash!" ”

Those soldiers who were frightened by Gongsun Zhan's murder were frightened by Yan Liang's fierce gods, stopped their retreat, summoned up their remaining courage, and moved forward again. Yan Liang glanced at Gongsun Zhan, who was getting closer and closer, and stretched out his hand: "Bow here!" ”

The guard handed over a three-stone strong bow, Yan Liang took the bow in his hand, opened the bow like a full moon, hugged like a baby, took a little aim, let go of the string, the long arrow just left the string, he quickly buckled another feather arrow, and pulled the bow again to shoot the arrow.

The long arrow flew almost above the head of the soldier in front of him, and with a "pounce", a righteous servant in front of Gongsun Zhan was in the middle, and the long arrow easily penetrated his armor and penetrated his body, and the bloody arrow stabbed out from the back, and with a "snap", the armor cracked a big hole, and blood splashed out. The long arrow was still in power, and he flew backwards with this righteousness, his feet in the stirrups, and he could not fall off the horse, but he could not sit up again.

Gongsun Zhan was startled, looked up, and saw Yan Lianghe, who had just shot the second arrow, was flying at him.

The spearhead is like a divine help, and the feather arrow is in the middle of the arrow, and with a crisp sound of "ding", the feather arrow is knocked away.

Yan Liang was unmoved, and pulled out the strong bow for the third time and mounted the feather arrow.

"Shaft dares!" Gongsun Chan roared, lifted the reins of the horse, and rushed straight to Yan Liang.
