Chapter 19 Zhao Zilong broke the enemy in battle

"Fourth brother, are we crossing the river?"

Zhou Yu took a bite of the rations in his hand, looked at Liu Bei and shook his head: "If Yuan Shao fortifies along the river, and we cross the river a little bit, then all the work we have done will be wasted." ”

"At this point, we are equivalent to the decisive hand in Go, and only surprise can have a miraculous effect."

Liu Bei looked at Zhou Yu, who was sitting on the grass and nibbling on dry food at this time, his eyes were a little complicated, how could Zhou Yu still have the demeanor of a child of a family in the past: "I'm sorry for you." ”

Hearing Liu Bei's words, Zhou Yu put down the dry food in his hand: "It is a happy thing to be able to follow my brother to achieve great things in this troubled world, so why not suffer for a while." ”

After barely having dinner, the four of them lay in a row on the grass, Liu Bei always felt that the fourth brother next to him seemed to have everything in his expectation, and he still couldn't help asking: "Fourth brother, I don't know what you think of the victory or defeat of Yuan Shao and Gongsun Chan this time?" ”

Zhou Yu did not answer Liu Bei's question immediately, but opened his eyes and looked at the night sky: if Li Ruluoyang's fire opened the prelude to the troubled times, then the battle of Panhe between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan this time is equivalent to opening the prelude to the struggle between the princes.

"It doesn't matter if you win or lose this battle, the world will be chaotic after this battle, and we must become a force that no one in Hebei can ignore in this battle, so that we can have a place for self-preservation in the plain."

"The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty!"

Hearing Zhou Yu's words, Liu Bei stopped asking, obviously realizing that his situation was not very good at the moment: "Inform the soldiers, let's camp and rest on the spot." ”

……

The next day, Gongsun Zhan divided the righteous congregation into two teams and swung along the wings, and sent the general Yan Gang as the vanguard.

"Yan Liangwen and Chou are the vanguard of the left and right, each leading a thousand crossbowmen, and the battle is crossed on the left and right sides, mainly to disrupt the enemy's formation, and it is not allowed to fight head-on with the Zhan army."

"The last general obeys!"

"Where is Kojiyi!"

"Order you to lead 15,000 infantry and 800 archers to face Gongsun Chan head-on in the formation."

Seeing that Yuan Shao had already made arrangements on the other side, Gongsun Zan said to Zhao Yun beside him: "Zilong, you are not very familiar with the soldiers when you first arrived in the army, so this time you will lead the rear army to respond." ”

Zhao Yun was inevitably a little disappointed after hearing Gongsun Zhan's words, but he didn't show anything: "Zhao Yun has an order!" ”

Looking at the figure of Zhao Yun leaving, Gongsun Chan was relieved, in fact, he still cared about Zhao Yun, no matter how he said it, he was the one who saved his life.

Gongsun Zhan led the Chinese army, stood under the bridge, and erected a big red circle and gold-threaded handsome flag in front of the horse. Looking at the Yuan Shao camp on the opposite side, who had not made any changes, he commanded to the left and right: "Order the armies, beat the drums and wait for the enemy." ”

At this time, Gongsun Zhan, who turned around, had a sadness on his face, but he was not seen by anyone. For the cavalry, facing such an orderly enemy is the most uncomfortable, even if they can rush in, they will inevitably be besieged.

The drums sounded from the hour to the hour, but Yuan Shaojun did not see any movement for a long time. Yan Gang drove his horse to Gongsun Zhan: "My lord, Yicong has been waiting in front of the battle for a long time, and he can't delay it any longer." ”

"What law do you have?"

"I can make the left and right armies cover for me, and I am willing to lead the vanguard to break its formation!"

Gongsun Chan looked at the men and horses of Koyi on the opposite side all lying under the shield, and there was no sign of taking the initiative to attack. Yan Gang said that it is not impossible to try one or two, as long as he can open the gap and win the first advantage, then the next thing will be very simple for him.

"If you win this battle, you will be the first to take credit!"

Hearing Gongsun Zhan's words, Yan Gang couldn't help but be overjoyed. In his opinion, Na Liyi's shield array is just child's play, as long as he can get close, it will be easy to break the formation.

Koji Yi looked at Yan Gang on the opposite side and began to shout, understanding that the other side was coming at him, and ordered to the left and right: "Pass my general order, no soldiers in the formation can move, and those who violate the order will be beheaded immediately!" ”

At any time, the infantry has a natural fear of cavalry, and if the commander is not firm at this time, let alone the soldiers below. Indulge the cavalry to move freely in the array, and there is no doubt that what will happen next is a massacre.

At this time, Yan Gang's men and horses had already crossed the boundary bridge, but Koji Yi had no expression on his face, and commanded the archers behind him: "Take the arrow!" ”

At fifty paces, Yan Gang only needed to kill in an instant. At this time, there was still no sound in Ko Yi's array, they were all waiting for Ko Yi's order, and Ju Yi's face was still indifferent: "Draw the bow!" ”

When he was about to take ten steps, Yan Gang could clearly see the expression on Koji Yi's face at this moment, but Koji Yi silently picked up his long knife: "Shoot!" ”

In an instant, eight hundred crossbowmen fired in unison. Yan Gang saw the overwhelming rain of arrows coming towards him, and he couldn't help but tremble for a while, and was about to hurry back.

Seeing this, Koji Yi immediately slapped his horse forward, and slashed Yan Gang, who was defenseless, under his horse with a single sword: "All soldiers, kill the enemy with me!" ”

Gongsun Zhan saw that Yan Gang's men and horses were surrounded, and he was about to make the left and right armies come forward to rescue, but he was forced back by the arrows of 2,000 crossbowmen led by Yan Liangwen and Chou.

Seeing that Koji Yi was victorious, Yuan Shao's several armies marched together and went straight to the edge of the boundary bridge. Koji Yi drove the horse forward to kill the flag general, and then cut off the embroidered flag set up by Gongsun Zhan.

Gongsun Zhan saw that the embroidered flag was cut off, and he didn't dare to touch the edge of Koji Yi for a while, so he returned to the horse and walked off the bridge.

Seeing that there was no one to resist, Koji Yi led his army to rush to Gongsun Zhan's rear army until he ran into a young general.

Zhao Yun didn't talk nonsense, and directly crossed the horse and raised the gun to kill Koji, who saw this and hurriedly raised his knife to deal with it.

The battle between the two was less than a few rounds, and Koji Yi was stabbed under the horse by Zhao Yun before he could dodge. Seeing that Lu Yi was dead, Zhao Yun raised his gun and yelled behind him: "Dare to rush with me!" ”

Without waiting for the soldiers behind him to react, Zhao Yun rushed into Yuan Shao's army as soon as he rode it, and a silver gun in his hand quickly harvested the life of Yuan Jun who was blocking in front of him, rushing left and right, as if entering a no-man's land for a while.

Seeing that Zhao Yun stabilized the position, Gongsun Zhan also led the army to kill back, and with the cooperation of the two, Yuan Jun was soon defeated.

Gongsun Zhan immediately stepped forward and patted Zhao Yun's shoulder, and there was no longer any doubt in his heart: "This big victory is all the strength of Zilong alone." Are you willing to follow me and enter Yuan Shao's camp together? ”

"Yun is willing to entrust his life to the general!"

......

Yuan Shao, who had been in the rear, learned that the commander of the army had slashed the flag and chased after the defeated soldiers: "The soldiers in front have won a great victory, are you willing to go with me to watch it?" ”

Tian Feng was about to say something, but saw that Yuan Shao had already counted 200 halberd-wielding sergeants and 30 archers, riding horses out of the view, seeing this, Tian Feng could only helplessly follow.

The group rushed to the edge of the boundary bridge before stopping, and Tian Feng stepped forward and said: "I heard that the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, why should the lord be in danger?" ”

When Yuan Shao heard this, he pointed to Gongsun Zhan's beheaded embroidered flag and laughed: "Yuan Hao, I'm too worried." Gongsun Chan is an incompetent person, how dare he offend me again after this big defeat. ”

Before the words fell, I saw a general rushing in front of him...
