Yuan Shao looked at the gray-faced messenger, and his heart felt a chill. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Flying Fox Road is really lost.

When the first messenger sent by Gao Ran reported to Yuan Shao that a large number of cavalry had appeared outside the city, Yuan Shao still felt amused, and laughed that Gao Ran was a little nervous. With Song Feng's ability, how could he defeat the Wuhuan people, how could he break through the Flying Fox Dao so quickly, and he didn't even reveal the slightest rumor. Although he is not a brave and warlike general, it is more than enough to guard a place like Flying Fox that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is impossible not to even send the news before it is lost.

Gao Ran must have been so nervous that he miscalculated. Yuan Shao thought.

But when the second and third messengers arrived, Yuan Shao was no longer so sure. If Gao Ran was not sure enough, he would not have sent so many messengers in one go. This is enough to show that the situation in Lunu City is very critical, and Gao Ran is worried that the scouts will be hunted down by the other party, so he will do this.

As soon as he thought that the Flying Fox Dao would be lost, Yuan Shao's heart was nervous, and what made him even more nervous was that if Song Feng could pass the Flying Fox Dao so quickly, he would far underestimate this opponent. Underestimating an opponent is a very terrible thing, and Yuan Shao has been fighting for many years, so he knows this very well.

Yuan Shao didn't dare to slack off, and immediately found Guo Tu and others to discuss. No matter how Song Feng did it, the loss of Flying Fox Road was basically certain. The army of the imperial court will soon arrive in Zhongshan, and he will appear behind him, and if he delays any longer, he will most likely be surrounded in Katsuragi.

"The only way to do this is to return to Yi County before the enemy forces encircle." Yuan Shao said in a deep voice. As soon as he said this, he suddenly thought of another question. I used to think that the suspicious army on the right might be Zhao Yun pretended to be Liu Bei, but now it seems that this may not be the case. The Flying Fox Road was lost, Zhao Yun was likely to have entered Jizhou, and he made a detour to the south to cut off the way back to the south, and his intentions were very obvious. Naturally, he wanted to trap Yuan Shao in the north of Jizhou, and prevent him from having any contact with Yecheng in the south. Thinking that Zhao Yun was on his right flank, Yuan Shao subconsciously gave up the way south, and he had no confidence to break through Zhao Yun's interception in this situation.

Guo Tu saw that Yuan Shao's face was ugly. The corners of his eyes twitched from time to time, knowing that he was already extremely nervous in his heart. He exchanged glances with Xin Ping and coughed: "What the lord said is very true. It's too dangerous to stay in Katsuragi, so it's better to go back to Yi County first. Gongsun Chan only has 5,000 people, and he can break it with one drum, even if Liu Bei is behind him, we have a chance to attack inside and out. It is better than attacking several times the number of cavalry in the field. ”

Xin Ping also reminded in a timely manner: "My lord." Since Song Feng was able to enter the Flying Fox Dao, he must have defeated the Wuhuan people. These Wuhuan people are cunning and untrustworthy, and the strong are respected. They were defeated under Song Feng, so naturally they had to fight with Song Feng, and those Wuhuan people under us ......"

Yuan Shao shuddered, and his face showed horror. The reason why he now has an advantage over Gongsun Chan is because he has more than 10,000 cavalry under his command, and nearly 8,000 are Wuhuan people. If the Wuhuan people are on the verge of defection. Does he still have a chance to win?

"The news is not yet confirmed, let's not be suspicious." Guo Tu interrupted Xin Ping's words and instead made his own suggestion: "We should use the impact of Wu Huanjing's ride. Quickly break through Gongsun Zhan's blockade. ”

Yuan Shao nodded again and again. He understood what Guo Tu meant, Xin commented on the truth, the Wuhuan people have become the biggest destabilizing factor, stay? Is it a hidden danger, drive away? It doesn't make sense, maybe it will disturb the morale of the army and arouse the suspicion of the Wuhuan people. Taking advantage of the fact that this news has not yet been confirmed, let the Wuhuan people fight the vanguard and fight hard with Gongsun Zhan, on the one hand, they can use the lethality of the Wuhuan Jing ride. On the other hand, you can also use Gongsun Zhan's knife to weaken the strength of the Wuhuan people and turn harm into benefit.

Yuan Shao did not delay any longer, and immediately ordered the whole army to march quickly, and at the same time ordered Wuhuan to be the vanguard, break through Gongsun Zhan's blockade, and open the way for the army to return to Yi County.

"Those who capture or kill Gongsun Chan alive. Bounty! In the face of several Wuhuan commanders, Yuan Shao issued a reward in a serious manner. The eyes of those Wuhuan people suddenly lit up, daughter, this is a very rich wealth, rich enough to make people crazy.

Gongsun Zhan, who had already been preparing to stop, got revenge and immediately ordered to meet the enemy.

The sound of war drums suddenly exploded, and all the soldiers entered their positions, Gongsun Zhan put on his helmet and armor, standing in a large array, looking at the smoke and dust rising in the distance, his heart was full of tragedy. Of course, he knew that his five thousand people were not enough to stop Yuan Shao, so he asked Liu Bei for help, but if Liu Bei didn't help him, it didn't mean that he couldn't do it himself. This is already the last battle, and if he can't defeat Yuan Shao this time, he will never have a chance to be ashamed again.

"Prepare for battle—" Gongsun Chan drew his sword and roared, the whistle was poignant and resolute.

"Fight! War! War! Although these soldiers from Youyan knew that this time there was a lot of bad luck, they still let out a heroic roar. The roar was loud and earth-shattering.

In the distance, the Wuhuan people had already rushed out of the horizon, and the cold light on their swords could be faintly seen.

Gongsun Zhan strode around the formation, looking coldly at the Wuhuan cavalry who was getting closer and closer, remembering the three thousand white horse servants he once had under his command, and he was even more angry. If it weren't for Yuan Shao's heavy blow to the White Horse Yizi he had accumulated for many years, how could he defend the battle? He will definitely use cavalry to attack Yuan Shao, that is his long skill, not Yuan Shao's.

Come on, let me take revenge! Gongsun Chan clenched his fists and trembled uncontrollably.

"Crossbowmen prepare—" Gongsun Xu in front of him roared loudly, his eyes staring at the Wuhuan cavalry who was getting closer and closer, there was a shè sign he had made, as long as the Wuhuan people entered the shè cheng, he would go all out.

Yuan Shao's hesitation in the past two days left them precious time, knowing that his strength was not enough to defend Yuan Shao's tough Gongsun Zhan adopted the tactics of positional warfare, and he ordered people to dig dozens of long trenches to resist horses on the narrow passage between the swamp and the mountains, arrange the rejection of horses, and arrange a spear array. It was the height of summer, and the water in the swamp was very strong, so Gongsun Chan brought the water into the trenches, so that these wide and deep trenches could not only block the opposing cavalry, but also prevent the soldiers on the front line from trying to escape. Without the response of the rear formation, they could only drown in the trench or be shèned by the arrow array behind them.

The Wuhuan people didn't know what to do, and they ran wildly, and they looked at Gongsun Zhan's battle flag, as if they saw a golden mountain.

"Charge—"

The whining sound of the horn echoed in the hot air, encouraging the first Krivan Knight. They let go of the reins and accelerated again. The horses gasped sharply, their hooves almost in the air, sweat seeping through their skin and soaking their fur.

The sound of hooves rumbled, like thunder in the sky, quickly approaching.

"Hair shè!" Gongsun continued to shout, and waved the colorful flag in his hand vigorously.

"Buzz!" With a muffled sound, dozens of ballistas roared, and hundreds of arrows tore through the writhing air and galloped forward. This is a sharp weapon transported by Lu Zhu, there are only 100 in total, and Liu Bei and Gongsun Zhan each have 50. In order to discourage the Wuhuan people, Gongsun Chan arranged thirty of them at the forefront.

Gongsun Chan saw the trial shè of these crossbow carts, and was very satisfied at that time. However, at that time, it was only a trial shè, and now it is thirty qi shè, and the momentum is incomparable. Although Gongsun Chan also thought of the power of the ballista chariots, he still had an indescribable joy when he saw the shock brought by the continuous roar of these ballistas.

The arrows from the ballista shè were dense and urgent, and they carried out a covering blow against the Wuhuan people who were at the front. In an instant, dozens of war horses were hit by arrows, turned into hedgehogs, and fell to the ground with a scream, smashing the knight on horseback into a rolling gourd. Although the knights raised their leather shields, they obviously did not expect the other party to attack their warhorses, and they were so ruthless when they attacked.

Because of the speed and density of the shè attack, the horse is not selected as the target for the general arrow array attack. The body of the war horse is huge, as long as it is not hit by shè, two or three arrows will not affect the battle at all. However, the advantage of the ballista is that it is fast and dense enough, and it is best used to deal with war horses. In the first burst, the war horse that rushed to the front was knocked down by a layer, as if a layer of skin had been peeled off in the thick array.

The Wuhuan people who rushed to the front line did not have time to react at all, and fell off their horses, some were hit by shè arrows, some were crushed by their horses, and some were trampled by the hooves of the horses that rushed later. They rolled, screamed loudly, and tried to get up and escape.

"Buzz!" The ballista was sent again.

"Whoosh!" The arrows galloped, and the whistling sounded.

"Plop puff!" Long arrows entered the body, blood burst into the body, and screams came and went.

The charging formation of the Wuhuan people stagnated, the galloping war horses could not restrain their footsteps, they were tripped and fell to the ground, their huge bodies were horizontal in front of the formation, and the fallen war horses struggled to step on their four hooves, trying to get up again and continue to fight, but their efforts only made more of their companions fall to the ground.

The Wuhuan people who fell to the ground were in a hurry, and they didn't care about protection at all. Gongsun continued to be overjoyed when he saw the situation, and ordered the archers to send shè. The archers looked at the Wuhuan man who was turning on their backs, and the tension in their hearts was reduced a lot, and they raised the bow and arrow in their hands and sent out an arrow of revenge into the sky.

The Wuhuan people complained bitterly, and the horn in front sounded to remind the companions behind to pay attention, but the war horse was already galloping at full speed, and where could it stop in a hurry. Under the powerful bow and crossbow attack of the Han army, the Wuhuan people suffered heavy losses, and only a few lucky ones escaped the arrow array and rushed to the front of the horse rejection array. They roared angrily, urging their horses to leap towards the rejection formation, raising their swords in their hands, and slashing with all their might.

"Kill!" The soldiers of the Han army in the horse rejection formation were not afraid, they raised their spears in their hands and stabbed into the leaping war horses.

The horse was stabbed with a spear and fell to the ground with a bang, causing the horse to shake. However, half of these rejected horses were buried deep in the ground, and even if the war horses collided with all their strength, it would be difficult to shake them for a while. The Han soldiers relied on the cover of the rejection of the horse to kill the knight who landed on the ground.

Above their heads, the galloping feathered arrows roared incessantly, plunging into the chaotic array of the Wuhuan people.
