~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The speed of the Youzhou army's formation is obviously not as good as that of the White Wolf Army, and Gongsun Xu is planning to attack the city this time, so he also brought a lot of baggage and siege equipment, so the formation is even slower.

Lejin's purpose is to delay time, how could he let go of this opportunity, and immediately ordered to use a wolf tooth flying cavalry to attack and disturb the Youzhou army's formation, and the wolf tooth flying cavalry general Wu Chai was ordered to attack.

The wolf's teeth rode their horses, rolled out, and under the leadership of Wu Chai, they scattered into a scattered cavalry line and killed the infantry formation on the left wing of the Youzhou Army.

The Youzhou army is not the Xuzhou army, the proportion of cavalry under the command of Gongsun Zan is also very high, this time Gongsun Xu led 3,000 men and horses, and the cavalry has 800 people.

100 horses against 100 horses, it is obvious that Gongsun Xu wants to prove something. But under his competitive spirit, he committed a taboo in soldiers: knowing his confidant does not know the other.

The wolf's tooth flying cavalry is a strong bow cavalry that even the Karasuma Turquoise Cavalry has to eat, the white wolf has been in the city for three years, and the wolf's tooth flying cavalry is only five hundred, and its screening is strict, which can be seen. Of course, this is also due to the fact that the population base of western Liaoning is too small. Although Ma Han got a large number of people from Qingzhou and Xuzhou, and also recruited a large number of soldiers from them, these Central Plains people can be used as infantry, and the cavalry is very reluctant, as wolf teeth flying horses? Save it.

The Youzhou cavalry is just an ordinary light cavalry, of course, it is also equipped with bows and arrows, and there are also good horsemen in cavalry and archery, but this is not a special archer after all, and it is necessary to play gallop and fight against the mature strong bow cavalry such as the wolf's tooth flying cavalry. Obviously looking for abuse.

The cavalry on both sides soon met in the middle line of the battlefield, and a hundred paces away, the wolf-tooth flying cavalry drew arrows with their bows and arrows, and shouted in the dark: "Gather and shoot!" ”

Hum -

A hundred arrows fired in a volley, as if it was raining in the Youzhou cavalry array, and many Youzhou cavalry had not even taken out their bows and arrows, but they bloomed in this unexpected rain of arrows, and the men and horses fell over with a sad roar. The rain of arrows did not stop, one after another, as the wolf's tooth flying horse approached. The arrows are also becoming more accurate. At 70 paces, the Youzhou cavalry only shot a dozen arrows, and they couldn't reach the position at all, so they landed diagonally, because their owners had already killed Huang Chen when the arrows left the string.

When the wolf's tooth flying horse rushed to fifty steps, there were no more than ten horsemen left in Youzhou's hundred horses, and they scattered and fled. And the wolf's teeth fly like a horse, and they don't stop. Passing by the side of the corpses of men and horses all over the ground, the target remained the same - the infantry formation on the left flank of the Youzhou Army.

At this time, the left flank of the Youzhou Army was still in the temporary chaos of arranging troops, and as a result, in the frightened eyes of nearly a thousand Youzhou foot soldiers, iron hooves were galloping. The dust and smoke flew, and black lines pierced out of the dust and mist, like black poisonous snakes, devouring one life after another.

After three rounds of arrow rain. The Wolffang Rider has swept from the left to the back of the formation, and the Wolftooth Rider never cares about the damage he has caused to the enemy. Nor do they take advantage of the enemy's confusion to shoot repeatedly on horseback to expand the results of the battle. Instead, he turned his horse to the left and flew seventy paces away from the enemy's formation, without stopping for a moment, and returned with his horse.

Sure enough, as soon as they broke away from the Youzhou army formation for more than a hundred steps, no less than 500 cavalry poured out from behind the flanks of the Youzhou army, and swept towards them like an avalanche.

The wolf's tooth flying horse shot at each other while running, and from time to time someone in the Youzhou cavalry was hit by an arrow and fell off his horse, and the horse with an empty saddle continued to gallop. The horse that was hit by the arrow neighed or fell upright or forward, throwing the cavalry on its back far away, and occasionally the unlucky cavalry fell off their horses and was trampled by the horses behind.

The Youzhou cavalry are all veterans with battlefield experience, and under normal circumstances, they will stop pursuing only when they are outside the range of the crossbow. However, this time, witnessing the heavy casualties of his comrades, coupled with the habitual measurement of the distance of crossbow fire from Youzhou and Hebei, he did not stop chasing 200 paces away.

Le Jin was overjoyed when he saw it on the high slope, and immediately sent orders to the bannerman of the flying tower, and the crossbowmen crossed the protective fence, went out to the back of the protective pile, and shot the enemy rider under the cover of the sword and shield soldiers.

Fifty strong crossbowmen moved quickly, and the Youzhou cavalry had already rushed to one hundred and eighty paces. Although the Youzhou cavalry tried their best to chase and kill, they still did not achieve decent results, and their arrows could not reach the tail of the wolf's tooth flying horse. And the wolf's tooth flying cavalry can all turn around and return to the horse to release arrows, which makes the Youzhou cavalry who know the goods both shocked and admired, and was greatly depressed for a while, and finally stopped the pursuit.

At the same time, the sound of gold also sounded in the Youzhou military array, which was the warning line of Gongsun Xusheng who was afraid that the cavalry under his command would chase after him, regardless of it, and chased the crossbow range of 200 steps.

To be honest, Gongsun Xu's mood at this time was even more depressed than that of his subordinates. The strength of the white wolf's bow and cavalry was completely beyond his expectations. In particular, the opponent can shoot and injure the enemy from a hundred paces, which even Bai Ma Yicong can't do, which makes him frightened.

Gongsun Xu couldn't help but secretly rejoice, fortunately he didn't bring Bai Ma Yicong this time, otherwise he would suffer such a heavy loss, but he was afraid that his father would not be able to spare him. In fact, this time, he couldn't bring it even if he wanted to. Because this attack on White Wolf City was a move of revenge by Gongsun for personal grudges, he did not ask Gongsun Zhan.

The last time he robbed his relatives, it was out of a major event to destroy the alliance between Yuan Shao and Bang Dun, so Gongsun Zhan sent his personal guard Bai Ma Yicong to assist. And this time, it was Gongsun Xu who was revengeful and attacked blatantly after receiving information from an unknown person. There were no white horse servants in his cavalry, because this was his father's personal guard, and he was not qualified to use them as subordinates.

Since the last robbery incident was inserted by Ma Han and failed, Gongsun Zhan was also very dissatisfied, which was a challenge to his authority by a small soldier in the past. Afterwards, he made an instruction to his eldest son, and he "can wait for the opportunity to slowly figure it out." This is equivalent to giving Gongsun a flexible instruction: you look at it, and if you have the opportunity, you will do it.

This is also the confidence of Gongsun Xu to dare to come out of the nest and attack White Wolf City this time.

At this time, a staff member beside him drove his horse side by side, his face was gloomy, and he said in a low voice: "Eldest son, the white wolf bow ride is also famous among the Hu people, even if our cavalry has the advantage, it is difficult to defeat its strong bow and arrow. It is better to use the military formation to attack the enemy position as much as possible, and once the enemy formation is broken, it is difficult to do anything with a few scattered cavalry. ”

Gongsun continued to glance at the staff and bowed slightly: "Cheng Lu is reasonable, and he will personally command the front army to attack later, and the rear army will be heavy." Please, let it be. ”

The staff hurriedly replied: "The eldest son only focuses on breaking the enemy, and Ji Yi is responsible for the affairs of the rear army." ”

This person who can make Gongsun continue to treat each other with courtesy is Gongsun Ji, the long history of Youbeiping.

In the fourth year of the first peace, when Liu Yu's tens of thousands of troops attacked Gongsun Zhan, Gongsun Ji ran to Yijing overnight and reported Liu Yu's plan, so that Gongsun Zhan could prepare in advance. In the end, he turned defeat into victory and killed Liu Yu. Gongsun Ji's whistleblowing is indispensable.

Afterwards, Gongsun Zhan rewarded him with a thousand gold, and worshiped him as the long history of Youbeiping, so that he assisted his eldest son, which can be regarded as a reward for his merits.

It is precisely because of Gongsun Ji's righteous deeds, coupled with the sincerity of the danger return, that he was respected by Gongsun Ji and not regarded as his subordinates.

Gongsun continued to look at the military formation, except for the left flank, which was still a little chaotic, and it was basically listed. At that moment, he took a yellow flag from Ling Qi's hand, and was about to send the order to attack and form a team, when suddenly a scene occurred in the distance, which made him stunned. The order flag in his hand fell to the ground without realizing it.

More than 500 cavalry from Youzhou pursued it, except for causing dozens of cavalry dead and wounded, they found nothing, and chased to 180 steps in front of the White Wolf Army. Fang had no choice but to retreat. However, like the main general, they once again made a big mistake because they "did not know the other".

One hundred and eighty steps away. The crossbowmen of the White Wolf Army are in place, and the fifty Tiger Shooting Crossbows have each locked on to their targets. In front of them were sword and shield men armed with infantry shields, behind them were archers, and on their sides were the leaders of their own troops. At this moment, the team leader was holding a wooden whistle in his mouth, and he was nervously staring at the flag bearer flying upstairs in the formation.

When the pennant in the hands of the flag bearer was slashed downward, the scream of the wooden whistle in the leader's mouth also sounded at the same time.

Beep――

The screeching of the wooden whistle was drowned out by the sound of the huge bowstrings of the salvo bolts firing at the same time, and the sword and shield soldiers who were covering beside them were filled with buzzing echoes in both ears. Fifty crossbows with birch as rods and fine iron as arrows flew out of an astonishing distance, and fiercely burrowed into the dense array of men and horses one hundred and eighty paces away.

Puff puff puff!

The iron hammer pierces the armor, enters the flesh, cracks the bones, and pierces the body. Strings of splashed blood intertwined and collided in mid-air, exploding blood flowers, and these huge blood flowers, blending together, formed a blood curtain......

Bang bang!

War horses and knights slammed into the dirt, stirring up dust and fog in the sky. When the dust mist and the blood curtain are mixed, they condense into blood droplets, falling like rain.

"Crossbow formation! Remove! Remove! Evacuate! ”

The Youzhou cavalry was in a mess, regardless of a qiē, and fled wildly. But the rain of crossbows barely stopped, chasing the horse's buttocks and sneering, and after each sharp sound, dozens of horsemen pounced in response. This nightmarish encounter did not gradually thin out until most of the Youzhou cavalry rushed out of the two hundred and fifty paces, and finally died out.

At this time, the entire battlefield was full of corpses of men and horses, bleeding in puddles, and at a rough glance, there were no less than 200 horsemen......

Gongsun Xu's mouth kept open, enough to stuff an egg. The scene in front of me is so similar to the battle at the boundary bridge three years ago: a hundred cavalry assault, an ambush behind the shield, a hundred crossbows are fired, and the men and horses are all defeated. What's even more terrifying is that during the Battle of the Boundary Bridge, the strong crossbow array of the first dead soldier was launched at fifty paces, and finally the pursuit did not stop until one hundred and fifty paces. After this battle, the Youzhou cavalry fought against the Yuan army, and they did not dare to approach two hundred paces. This habit is also carried over to the fight against other forces.

This was a good habit, but I ran into a white wolf crossbow soldier who didn't play cards according to common sense. Where did they get the rhubarb crossbow? There are hundreds of them (due to the rapid-fire intensity of the tiger crossbow, Gongsun Xu has the illusion that the opponent has hundreds of crossbows), this is a big killing weapon that even the Jizhou army, which is recognized as the best equipment, can't get a hundred!

At this time, Gongsun Ji's hurried voice came from Gongsun Xu's ears: "Eldest son, the enemy army does not have many strong crossbows, no more than two hundred at most. Without further ado, if we miss the opportunity, the morale of our army will collapse, and it will be irretrievable! ”

Gongsun continued to be like a Daigo empowerment, snatched all the flags in the hands of the flag commander, and played out with an ancient brain, and his voice was hoarse: "The whole army charges, victory or defeat in one fell swoop!" It's a battle of life and death! (To be continued......)
