The two horses intersected, and Ma Chao raised a halberd and stabbed Guan Jing in the chest, castrating quickly and ruthlessly. The latter didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly raised his knife to parry, and had already used twelve points of strength.

Ma Chao didn't know this person at all, but when he saw that he was dressed as a general, he didn't dare to take it lightly, only heard a crisp sound of "bell", and the halberd was immediately set up a foot, but it was stabbed in the air.

The blow failed to make a contribution, and the two horses staggered, but Ma Chao didn't want to let go of this person, so he immediately took his left foot as the axis, and left the stirrup with his right foot, and his body turned sharply to use the kung fu of the horse pistol, and the sharp halberd stabbed straight to Guan Jinghou's heart. Although Guan Jing set up Ma Chao's halberd, his arms were numb at the moment, his chest was stuffy, and he was secretly glad that he had escaped with his surname, only to hear the vicious wind behind his head, and it was too late to dodge.

The kung fu of this hand back to the horse pistol shocked the audience, the enemy was frightened when they saw it, and the soldiers who rushed to kill their own side saw that their morale was high, and they wielded their horses and slashed hard. With the advantage of weapons and armor, Ma Chao only took a few breaths to see that he rushed through the Gongsun Zhan cavalry team and rushed into the infantry team behind. A heavy cavalry against an ordinary infantry army has almost completely become one-sided.

Gongsun Zhan's forward troops were about to storm the 5,000-step barracks left behind by Ma Chao, but they were greeted by a salvo of 500 crossbows. Gongsun Zhan, who suffered heavy casualties, turned pale, only in this round of fighting, his 40,000 army suffered nearly half of the casualties, and Ma Chao's heavy armored cavalry suffered minimal losses, mainly because their armor was too **, ordinary bows and arrows could not penetrate at all, even if the spear had to pierce the neck, lower abdomen, joints and other vital parts to hurt the enemy, otherwise the spear would be broken if it pierced the steel plate.

After Ma Chao rushed through the cavalry team, he immediately ordered three thousand-man teams to turn back and kill the remaining cavalry team, and he himself took two thousand people to kill Gongsun Zhan. On the battlefield, the ordinary infantry army against the heavy armored cavalry was undoubtedly sent to death, and the 2,000 people rushed straight to the direction of the main general's banner as if they had fallen into a no-man's land.

These infantry soldiers were already frightened by the bed, but at this moment, the steel lion wrapped in heavy armor immediately lost the heart of battle and was defeated one after another. The two thousand people were unimpeded, and they rushed to the front of Gongsun Zhan's formation in a short time, but they were blocked by the oncoming rain of arrows, followed by an overwhelming array of javelins, which numbered thousands.

Ma Chao's cavalry is not afraid of ordinary bows and arrows, but he has no bottom about whether the heavy armor can prevent the javelin, in order to avoid possible casualties, Ma Chao had to order to turn back and kill the chaotic infantry army, and suddenly became a one-sided **.

Gongsun Zhan did not charge into battle in person like Ma Chao, and he also had more than 2,000 white horses by his side to protect him, and Ma Tie was also among them. Gongsun Zhan saw that Ma Chao's heavy armored cavalry was invincible, and most of his soldiers were lost, and he couldn't help but be angry, and muttered: "What a strong armor, such a powerful cavalry, no wonder Ma Chao's thieves are so arrogant, this kind of tiger and wolf army can't be defeated at all."

Zou Dan was even more surprised that his eyes almost fell, his own infantry army had been dispersed, and the cavalry had been defeated at this moment because the main general Guan Jing was beheaded, and the remaining thousands of cavalry were rushed back and forth by Ma Chao's heavy armored cavalry, the number was getting smaller and smaller, and it was only a matter of time before the rout was defeated.

After hesitating for a while, Zou Dan said: "I didn't expect Ma Chao to have such a sharp weapon, our army is not well prepared, and it is difficult for ordinary cavalry and infantry to cause actual casualties to the heavy cavalry." The lord still doesn't want to fight, if he continues to fight, he won't be able to defeat Ma Chao even if the soldiers are dead! ”

Gongsun Zhan's heart was full of blood, these elite soldiers were the team he had pulled up after years of hard work, but now before they could play their role, they were severely injured by the bed and the heavily armored cavalry, and there were only more than 10,000 people left in the 40,000 army. Ma Chao's 5,000 heavy armored cavalry only lost a few hundred, and because the infantry army had spear arrays and repeating crossbows, his cavalry did not dare to approach after suffering a few times, and the losses were naturally minimal.

The situation was extremely chaotic, Gongsun Chan pondered for a moment, and asked with a gloomy face, "According to what you see, what should I do now?" ”

Zou Dan said: "Today's plan can only be to retreat to the next best thing, and take Ma Tie to make a detour through Jizhou to seek refuge with Yuan Shao or Cao **." Ma Chao is bound to Youzhou, and he will never allow the existence of the lord. And Yuan Shao and Cao ** are Ma Chao's mortal enemies, at this critical moment, as long as the lord has soldiers in his hands, no matter who he defects to, he can be in a high position! ”

Gongsun Zhan sighed helplessly when he heard this, and said with a decadent face: "It is better to know that this is better than to promise Ma Chao a thief at that time, at least he will not fall into today's field!" ”

Zou Dan moved his lips but didn't speak, and said in his heart: The lord is confused! If you promise Ma Chao, it will only be worse, once Ma Chao rescues Ma Tie, how will he allow your uncontrollable army to wait for an opportunity in his rear? said that it was for you to go to the four counties of Liaodong, but in fact, you could send troops to destroy you with just an excuse, and then you would have no allies, no soldiers, and only a dead end.

Having made up his mind, Gongsun Chan immediately ordered Ming Jin, and the frightened soldier who was killed stopped in his ears like a heavenly sound, and ran back desperately.

Ma Chao took the opportunity to lead his troops to cover the killing, beheaded and captured thousands of people, and then pursued more than 20 miles before collecting his troops. Counting the number of people afterwards, more than 1,200 casualties of Ma Chao's 5,000 heavy armored cavalry were killed, most of them were injured to varying degrees due to damage to the armor, and less than 300 were actually killed. Because the infantry army was well prepared and completely defensive, the number of casualties was less than 400, which can be regarded as a miracle.

Gongsun Zhan, on the other hand, suffered heavy losses, with only more than 7,000 cavalry fleeing from the 40,000 soldiers and horses, and the casualty figure reached more than 17,000 people, most of whom died under the beds and crossbows, more than 5,000 people were captured, and two or three thousand soldiers were scattered.

Not only that, Ma Chao also captured more than 5,000 war horses, armor, weapons and other baggage piles into a hill, and the crossbow arrows shot out and the special iron arrows of the bed crossbow were also recovered here, which can be described as a complete victory.

And Tian Hukang, who went out to ambush in advance, immediately returned to the army after getting Gongsun Chan's full strength to attack Gaoyang City, and captured the empty camp left by Gongsun Chan, and then rushed to help outside Gaoyang City, but unfortunately the war had already ended. Ma Chao was afraid that Gongsun Chan would lead the rest of the troops to Jizhou to rob the people, so he sent Tian Hukang to lead 10,000 Huns to chase and kill the rest of Gongsun Chan along the way, and found a number of local guides for him in the army, the purpose was not to give Gongsun Chan a chance to breathe.

At the same time, the battle of Yijing was also coming to an end, in the face of the bombardment of a hundred Xiangyang cannons, the city was seriously damaged, as more and more Liu Yu's soldiers climbed the city, just after noon broke through the north gate. Immediately the two armies launched a fierce street battle, with the advantage of numbers, Liu Yu's army morale was high, coupled with the help of the trial, Gongsun Yue finally couldn't resist, so he had to roll up the soft things, and cooperate with thousands of family members and the remaining 5,000 elite soldiers to break through from the south gate, the target was Gongsun Zhan's camp.

Zhao Yun had been in ambush for ten miles outside the south gate for a long time. Five thousand elite soldiers with black iron helmets came out unexpectedly, and the Gongsun Yue brothers immediately messed up, coupled with the mixed personnel, the baggage was numerous, and the soldiers were tired, and they were completely defeated after only resisting a stick of incense. Gongsun Fan was stabbed to death by Zhao Yun, and Gongsun Yue, Gongsun Xu and others also became prisoners. (To be continued.) )
