Chapter 536 Reversal
hundreds of white horse Yicong, led by a fierce and brisk captain, rushed into the left wing of Yan Liang's square formation like the wind. Yan Liang arranged the spear soldiers mainly on the front, and there was only a temporary triple spear formation. Such a formation might be enough to resist ordinary cavalry, but in front of these elite cavalry, they struggled. Facing the white horse Yicong who was running towards him, although the spearmen tried their best to resist, they were still quickly broken through. The cavalry rushed in, killed in front of the crossbowmen, and massacred them.
The crossbowman was in a panic and barely shot for a few more rounds, then fled in panic. Tian Feng was prepared for a long time. When he saw Gongsun Zan's division of troops, he knew that his plan had failed, but he was not panic. Division of troops would seriously weaken Gongsun Zan's impact. It seemed to be both good, but in fact it was very dangerous. He sent out a steady stream of infantry that had just been integrated, and he would entangle these hundreds of cavalrymen in any case and prevent them from reinforced Gongsun Zan to reduce Yuan Shao's pressure.
Yuan Shao avoided Gongsun Zan's final kill. The cavalry of both sides hedged. Although the White Horse Yicong was elite, they could not resist the large number of Yuan Shao's personal guards. In the continuous collision, Yuan Shao gradually gained the upper hand. These personal guards also fought together for many years and cooperated very tacitly. When they saw that the White Horse Yicong's combat was strong, they immediately took a wolf pack battle, and two or three stepped forward to attack a White Horse Yicong warrior. Although the White Horse Yicong warrior was strong, they were unable to resist such a battle. Although it caused a lot of damage to the other party, his own losses also increased sharply. When the two sides separated, less than one-third of the more than a thousand horse Yicong warriors following Gongsun Zan were left.
Gongsun Zan held the iron spear panting, his hands trembling. He looked at the rolling mountains in front of him and wanted to laugh loudly, but he could only make a hoarse sound in his throat. The continuous battles and continuous shouting made him dry and his throat sting.
He ran for more than two hundred steps and turned around. Only then did he realize that there were only a few guards behind him. He couldn't help but feel ache in his heart, and then he became angry again. He turned his horse's head, jumped onto the back, blocked his eyebrows, and observed it around for a while. He couldn't help but feel ecstasy.
Perhaps Yuan Shao's military strength was indeed used to the limit, or perhaps he did not expect Gongsun Zan to break through the siege and appear behind him. He transferred most of his troops to the front. There were only some defeated soldiers who were defeated not long ago and retreated. They were reorganizing the battle formation and preparing to support. These people saw Gongsun Zan who penetrated the battle formation. They were looking at him with horror. Some of them were ready to escape, and the battle flag was shaking like a timid.
Gongsun Zan seized this opportunity and pointed a spear at Yuan Shao's back formation, urging the horse to rush again.
Guo Tu, who was commanding the central army, was shocked. He never expected that Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao's personal guards, who were several times more than him, would have the courage to turn back and kill again. There were only more than a thousand defeated soldiers in the back formation, and they could not stop Gongsun Zan at all.
Guo Tu did not dare to neglect. While ordering the defeated soldiers in the back formation to resist immediately, he notified Yuan Shao that Gongsun Zan had broken through the formation and was attacking the back formation.
Yuan Shao complained when he received the news. He had just escaped from Gongsun Zan's men and was now facing Gongsun Yue's siege. The cavalry led by Gongsun Yue was far less elite than Bai Ma Yicong, and its equipment was not as good as Yuan Shao's personal guard cavalry, but they were slightly better in cavalry and physical strength. They were the back-attacks and had spare energy. Yuan Shao's personal guard cavalry had just passed the bloody battle with Bai Ma Yicong, and his morale had declined. As soon as the two sides contacted, they fell into a death battle. Now they heard that Gongsun Zan was attacking his rear formation, and Yuan Shao was anxious. The rear formation of infantry was attacked by the cavalry, which was almost synonymous with the final kill.
He couldn't understand how could Gongsun Zan kill him with one thousand cavalry? According to his estimate, even if Gongsun Zan fights out, there are not many people left, and it is impossible for him to attack his back formation again. Did Guo Tu make a mistake?
Listening to the sound of the Central Army's drums after drums of help, Yuan Shao felt the blackness in front of him, and his head was spinning, his body shook twice, and he almost fell from his horse.
Tian Feng was also anxious. He rushed to the central army's command platform, pushed Guo Tu away with a palm, raised his hand to slap the messenger who was beating the drum, and cursed: "Zhu Zi, hit me the victory drum, just say that reinforcements will arrive soon, be sure to surround Gongsun Zan."
Guo Tu was pushed by Tian Feng in the chest and didn't recover for a long time. When he heard Tian Feng's words, he was anxious. The reinforcements didn't even look at the shadow. The back formation was attacked by Gongsun Zan, and the infantry formation was about to be broken. At this time, he was still beating the victory drum?
"Are you blind?" Guo Tu also cursed and stepped forward and pushed Tian Feng. Tian Feng glared: "General is fighting with Gongsun Yue in front of the formation. You are not adjusting people to defend the back formation at this time, and you are still asking for help from the general? Can the general withdraw?"
Guo Tu was speechless.
"Today there will be no life, there is only one battle." Tian Feng shouted loudly and stomped his feet hard: "I will go to the command of the rear army. Unless Gongsun Zan stepped on my body, the formation will be safe and sound. If you dare to ask the general for help, I will not spare you even if I become a ghost!"
Guo Tu stared at Tian Feng with his hair and bearded in a daze, and nodded instinctively without any courage to refute.
Tian Feng quickly got out of the command car and rushed to the backyard with dozens of personal guards.
The soldiers in the back formation fought against Gongsun Zan's attack. They were brave enough to lose their courage and had no fighting spirit at all. They just did not dare to retreat easily with years of training instinct. However, seeing how they were, they probably couldn't last long. At this moment, Tian Feng arrived with his personal guards. At the command, the personal guards shot out the crossbow in their hands, and knocked down several white horses who were jumping on horseback and dancing spears and rushing to death.
From this time of war, Baima Yi was actually at the end of his strength. If these defeated soldiers were not too weak, they would not have achieved effective results. It was precisely because Gongsun Zan saw this that he ordered the attack on Yuan's rear formation. As long as he defeated these defeated soldiers and drove them to attack Yuan's large formation, he still had a glimmer of life.
Seeing victory in sight, Tian Feng suddenly arrived. A series of crossbows shot and killed several white horses Yicong who were rushing in front, and suddenly defeated their offensive. Gongsun Zan was furious, roared and rushed up, dancing with an iron spear, and headed straight for Tian Feng.
Tian Feng didn't contact him at all. While ordering the spearmen and shield hands to step forward to intercept, the guards ordered the guards to shoot at Gongsun Zan in a intensive manner. In a moment, Gongsun Zan even hit dozens of arrows. Even though the silver armor on his body was solid, some arrows still shot through his skin, and it was unbearable to feel pain as soon as he moved.
Gongsun Zan fought hard for a moment, killing dozens of people, but Tian Feng was getting farther and farther away. He only wanted to kill Tian Feng, and had no time to command his men. Those white horses could only rely on their own instinct to fight, while the Yuan army defeated soldiers formed an increasingly dense battle formation under the command of Tian Feng, which not only blocked Gongsun Zan's offensive, but also gradually surrounded them.
Gongsun Zan looked around and knew that the battle would not only be hopeless to break the formation, but also likely to fall into a melee, which was very unfavorable for him. He had to order the cavalry to withdraw from the battle group and then stir up the war.
When the White Horse Yicong heard the order, they turned their horses' heads and left the battle formation. They stopped five hundred steps outside the battlefield and re-arranged the formation.
Gongsun Zan looked at the white horse Yicong in front of him, and could no longer hold it back, and tears burst out from his eyes. There are only more than one hundred people left in the three thousand white horse Yicong, and there is only one left with his elite saga player for many years.
The White Horse Yichen has finished.
Gongsun Zan looked back at the battlefield where he was still fighting and hesitated. If he fought back, it would be difficult for him to break through Tian Feng's defense with just these more than a hundred people, but if he didn't fight back, Gongsun Yue and his more than 5,000 people would probably die here. There was no way out for Gongsun Fan's five thousand infantrymen, so he could only take these more than a hundred people back.
Moving forward is death, retreating is inseparable.
Gongsun Zan, who has always been fearless, has been a little timid in his life.
Yuan Shao heard a few distress signals after the formation, and then stopped abruptly. He was relieved and concentrated on fighting fiercely with Gongsun Yue. The two sides fought each other, and no one could gain the upper hand for a while.
After the formation, Gongsun Zan hesitated.
Under the protection of his personal guards, Tian Feng looked at Gongsun Zan in the distance, and his heart was in his throat. He didn't know if the defeated soldiers around him had the courage to come forward to fight again when Gongsun Zan charged again.
...
Wen Chou walked over quickly and bowed to Ju Su: "What are your instructions?"
"Attack Gongsun Fan immediately." Ju Yuan stroked his beard, looked at the sky in the distance, and said lightly: "At any cost, break through Gongsun Fan's formation and rush to the general to help."
"Running the General?" Wen Chou was stunned for a moment: "Sir, I am worried that the General is not a match for Gongsun Zan?"
"At least, there is no absolute certainty." Ju Su did not explain much, "Now is not the time to speak, you can set off immediately."
Although Wen Chou was a little unhappy, he still bowed and turned around. Although he was one of the best generals under Yuan Shao's tent, Yuan Shao trusted more famous scholars such as Ju Su and Tian Feng. They were not very important. Even in pre-war meetings, they generally could not attend. They would listen with both ears and there was no chance to speak. They had discussed it and they would just carry out the execution.
Wen Chou was not convinced, but there was nothing he could do. Yuan Shao was a famous scholar. In his eyes, one Ju Su was more important than two Wen Chou, so what did he say?
Wen Chou then launched a fierce attack on Gongsun Fan's position. Gongsun Fan only had 5,000 infantrymen, and it was okay to be a suspicious soldier. If he really wanted to fight, he could not stop Wen Chou. Wen Chou led his personal guard camp to enter the formation in one go, and killed the central army like a destruction, and cut off Gongsun Fan's head with one knife.
The Youzhou army collapsed, and Wen Chou didn't even have time to clean up the battlefield, so he led a 10,000 army to kill westward. When they arrived at the battlefield, it was the time when the two sides were indistinguishable. Wen Chou's arrival greatly boosted the morale of Yuan's army, but Gongsun Yue's face was ashamed and his heart sank to the bottom.
Gongsun Zan, who was in the back formation, heard the sound of war drums coming from Yuan’s reinforcements, and was as if struck by lightning. He was stunned for a while, then rode his horse away.
After a day of fierce battle, Yuan Shao won the final victory because of Wen Chou's timely support. In this battle, except for Gongsun Zan himself fled in a panic with more than a hundred cavalry, 20,000 infantry and cavalry were wiped out. Gongsun Yue died in the chaos, and Gongsun Fan was beheaded by Wen Chou. Yuan's army suffered more than 20,000 casualties, Yuan Shao was slightly injured, Yan Liang was seriously injured, and He Yong was killed.
