Chapter 241: The End of the World

Gongsun Zan rode his horse back to the front of his army, stared at his iron horse, and then raised his weapon and said coldly: "Soldiers, let those cowards of the Yuan army know what the army of tigers and wolves is, let them see and understand, the majesty of my Youzhou iron cavalry, this battle can only be won, not defeated!" ”

"Soldiers, charge!" Gongsun Zhan let out a loud shout, and then immediately led the Youzhou Iron Cavalry to rush towards the Yuan army's camp.

Seeing Gongsun Zhan's iron cavalry charge, the soldiers of the Yuan army quickly formed a defensive lineup. Three thousand soldiers with special spears formed a defensive camp, and after three thousand pikemen, there were former strong crossbowmen.

The crossbows in the hands of these crossbowmen are all sharp weapons, but they will not have no range like the crossbows in the hands of the White Tiger Battalion. This kind of strong crossbow was specially transferred by Yuan Shao to deal with Gongsun Zhan, each strong crossbow has great lethality, and this kind of strong crossbow can not be pulled away with his own arm strength alone.

If you want to pull this powerful crossbow, you need to use all your strength. Moreover, this is still a person with extraordinary strength who can pull it, otherwise he would not want to pull this crossbow.

In the face of Yuan Jun's changes, Gongsun Zhan had some doubts in his heart. He hadn't seen Yuan Shao in this formation earlier, and he didn't know what the power of Yuan Jun's formation was. However, no matter how he changed the formation, Gongsun Chan was still full of confidence in his iron horse, and he didn't think that anyone in the world could defend against the impact of the Youzhou iron horse.

As Gongsun Zhan's iron cavalry approached closer and closer, Yuan Jun's spear array raised the spears in their hands one after another. The soldiers of the Yuan army were skeptical about whether the spear in their hands could withstand the impact of the Youzhou Iron Cavalry, but since the lord had already decided, he would give it a try.

The spears were raised one after another, and the head of the spear was pointed directly at the iron cavalry of Gongsun Zhan, who was rushing immediately. Waiting for the arrival of Gongsun Zhan's iron cavalry, the soldiers of the Yuan army were all nervous. After all, the power of Gongsun Zhan's cavalry is known by himself. With only the spear in his hand, can he resist the advance of the cavalry?

However, at this time, there was no room for the soldiers of the Yuan army to think about anything, because Gongsun Zhan's cavalry was very powerful, so in the blink of an eye, Gongsun Zhan's cavalry had already rushed to the front of Yuan Jun.

Looking at the Yuan army's camp that was getting closer and closer, although the formation of the Yuan army made Gongsun Zhan's iron cavalry puzzled, they just sneered and no longer cared about anything. It's just that the gun is a little longer. What combat power can there be.

However, soon, Gongsun Zhan's cavalry knew how strong Yuan's defensive lineup really was. The previous impact force had no effect in front of Yuan's defensive array. Encountering the defensive array of the Yuan army, Gongsun Zhan's iron cavalry crashed into the iron plate.

The spear could easily penetrate the body of a military horse, and with a single impact, countless knights fell. The military horse is the soul of the cavalry, and when the horses are finished, then the cavalry will also be finished.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Gongsun Chan knew. This battle is no longer so easy to win! Next, it was a bitter battle that greeted you. Just as Yuan Shaogong and Sun Zan were about to start a decisive battle, our classmate Du Chen quietly left.

The reason why Du Chen left was because he had a task to do. Du Chen's task was to take advantage of the decisive battle between Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao to lead the Cao army to defeat Gongsun Zhan's footsteps and his base camp. Although Gongsun Zhan's cavalry was very strong, his footsteps were not at all the opponent of Cao's army.

But even so, Du Chen didn't dare to despise the enemy. Although Gongsun Zhan's footwork is not very strong. But to underestimate any one opponent will face an unexpected blow, if one is not careful. Such a blow would be absolutely fatal.

The firefight between Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao has reached a white-hot stage, and it is difficult to separate the killing of both sides. At this time, neither of them had the idea of retreating, and this battle had evolved into a decisive battle, and neither of them would stop until the other side was completely defeated.

And Du Chen's surprise attack on Gongsun Zhan's base camp was really a laborious matter. After all, it doesn't matter whose base camp it is. His defensive strength is very sufficient, if it is very simple, the enemy will break through the base camp, I am afraid that Gongsun Chan has already been defeated by Yuan Shao.

But having said that, Cao Jun is still very elite, and each of them is a battle-hardened warrior. Face the enemy's well-defended city. Cao's army can be conquered in a short time, not to mention, there are not many soldiers in the battalion, and the defensive strength is not as good as the Gongsun Zhan camp in the city.

Cao Jun quickly broke through the first defensive position of Gongsun Zhan's camp, and Cao's rapid movement shocked the Gongsun Chan soldiers who stayed in the camp. They had indeed heard that Cao Jun was extremely powerful, but they did not expect that Cao Jun's strength was far from being comparable to his own.

As the soldiers of the Cao army got closer and closer, the soldiers under the command of Gongsun Chan finally couldn't stand it anymore. After all, there are no people under Gongsun Chan who can hold the position, and there are almost no famous talents around him, so no one can take on this important responsibility.

Cao's army was getting closer and closer, and the soldiers under Gongsun Zhan's command were ready to start retreating. At this time, Gongsun Chan and Yuan Jun were in a state of stalemate, and it was absolutely impossible for the main Gongsun Chan to withdraw his troops to help him at this time.

Moreover, even if Gongsun Chan wanted to withdraw his troops at this time, it would be difficult for him to withdraw. Because Yuan Shao will never let go of such an excellent opportunity, if Gongsun Chan is not eliminated in this battle, then from now on, Gongsun Chan will definitely be vigilant, but Gongsun Chan will not be like today.

With such an idea, the soldiers under the command of Gongsun Chan fled for their lives. Now all they can do is retreat, after all, they don't want to die, and they can't bear to die.

They have different ideas from Gongsun Zhan, a large area of land in Youzhou still belongs to Gongsun Zhan, as long as they preserve their strength, sooner or later there will be a time to make a comeback.

Gongsun Zhan's soldiers withdrew, and Du Chen did not order anyone to pursue. He was only here to help, and his order was to conquer Gongsun Zhan's camp. Now that his goal has been achieved, he does not need to cause casualties to his troops.

Moreover, consuming Gongsun Zhan's strength is not good for Du Chen, helping Yuan Shao quickly defeat Gongsun Zhan, which is definitely something Du Chen doesn't want to see. The sooner Yuan Shao defeats Gongsun Zhan, the sooner he will attack Cao's army, although Cao's army is ready, but who will dislike not being fully prepared, the more fully prepared, the more beneficial the war will be for themselves.

Of course, after taking Gongsun Zhan's camp, Du Chen's harvest is not small. The soldiers under the command of Gongsun Chan withdrew in a hurry, but a lot of heavy grain and grass were left in the hurry, of course, what made Du Chen happiest was that he also collected more than 500 military horses in Gongsun Zhan's camp.

Gongsun Chan's most important thing is the cavalry, so it is naturally a matter of course to capture war horses in Gongsun Chan's camp. However, more than 500 war horses were captured, which means that the Cao army did not do useless work in this battle.

Although the more than five hundred military horses were not a little less than the five thousand that came from Yuan Shao, these more than five hundred horses were an extra joy after all, which would naturally make Du Chen very happy.

After Cao Jun cleared Gongsun Zhan's base camp here, there was no movement. Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao fight to the death, which has absolutely nothing to do with Du Chen and Cao Jun. Although he came to aid Yuan Shao, it didn't mean that he wanted to do anything for Yuan Shao.

The more tragic the fight between Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao, the happier Du Chen's heart will be. After all, the consumption of Yuan Jun's strength is what Du Chen likes to see the most. He wished that Yuan Shao's soldiers had suffered heavy casualties, so that in the future battles, the pressure on Cao's army would be reduced.

And as time passed, Gongsun Chan finally realized that something was wrong. His own cavalry has become less and less, and gradually, Yuan's army has a tendency to encircle. Obviously, Yuan Jun wanted to surround himself and then strangle him.

Although Gongsun Chan was not convinced, he knew that this was not the time for him to continue to act rashly. If Yuan Jun is really encircled, then there is absolutely no possibility of breaking through.

The green mountains left behind, not afraid of no firewood, Gongsun Chan is also very clear about this. So he finally chose to retreat and retreat to his base camp. Yuan Jun's battle formation is really powerful, he has to think carefully about how to overcome Yuan Jun's battle formation.

With Gongsun Zhan's order, his soldiers retreated to the rear one after another. As far as Gongsun Zhan's cavalry is concerned, they can't bear this battle for a long time. It is clear that from the beginning to the end of the battle, their side is in a state of slight momentum.

Gongsun Zhan's cavalry impact and mobility were strong, but at the beginning of the war, Yuan Shao's battle formation had already stifled the play of Gongsun Zhan's cavalry. This did not bring out the impact and mobility of the cavalry, and Yuan Jun wiped out most of them.

Gongsun Zhan's cavalry was the top priority for his survival, and the cavalry did not exert its due combat effectiveness, which greatly reduced the attack power of Gongsun Zhan's troops. In the past, with the powerful impact of Gongsun Zhan's cavalry, Yuan's camp had already been scattered.

The infantry that followed was only to pick up the pieces, and they basically had no essential role in the war. And when suddenly one day they were able to influence the war, they had the fighting element, where Yuan Shao's army was the opponent.

Gongsun Chan led the remnants of his troops to finally break out of the encirclement of Yuan's army, and of course they escaped very badly. In the face of the attack of Yuan's army, Gongsun Zhan simply counted the losses in time, and all he needed to do now was to retreat and retreat to his base camp. Gongsun Chan's idea was very good, but when he led the remnants of his troops back to his base camp, what he saw surprised Gongsun Chan. Because at this time, the banner of Cao Jun was fluttering above the camp of Gongsun Zhan. (To be continued......)
