Besides, Gongsun Zan asked his sons Gongsun Xu and Tian Kai to guard the nest, while he led his generals and an army of 200,000 on the way to face Yuan Shao's army.
After knowing that Fanyang County surrendered without a fight, Yuan Shao defeated a large county in Youzhou without a single blow. A little angry, he beheaded several soldiers who reported the news. Notify the army to speed up and rush to Fan Yang as soon as possible to compete with Yuan Shao.
Ten days later, when Gongsun Zan arrived at Fanyang County with his army, Yuan Shao had already led his army into the city and had been waiting for Gongsun Zan for a long time.
Seeing this, Gongsun Zan asked his brothers to set up camp ten miles away from the city and guard it. However, he took Zou Dan, Guan Jing and other generals and led 50,000 white horses to challenge the city.
Knowing that Gongsun Zan was coming with 50,000 cavalry, Yuan Shao was a little bit aggressive and asked Zhao Yun, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou to go out with him and 30,000 tiger and leopard cavalry to fight against him.
The two armies came to the foot of the city tower and lined up, with a distance of ten feet apart. Their respective coaches, surrounded by their men, stood in front of the team.
Gongsun Zan was impatient, so he patted him first and asked, "Youzhou Mu has seen the prime minister, and at the same time, the officials of the Han Dynasty, why do they kill each other? I don't know why Benchu came here."
Hearing Gongsun Zan's question, Yuan Shao chuckled and said, "Haha, as an important official of the imperial court, how can I be called a colleague with you? Besides, you are just a rebellious official who stole Youzhou, and you dare to claim the position of state shepherd? I'm really ashamed of you. Yeah, I originally thought you were a person, and I didn’t want to end up like this. It’s really a shame, what a pity!”
"You, Yuan Shao, don't bully others too much. Youzhou is mine now, what can you do to me? Come here if you are not afraid of death, I will take care of you."
After Yuan Shao said this, he immediately made Gongsun Zan very angry. It was really unreasonable. Gongsun Zan was furious and threatened angrily.
"Haha, I am following the emperor's decree to punish thieves. Anyone who dares to resist the emperor's order will be killed without mercy! Who is going to get the head of this traitor?"
Yuan Shao smiled and shouted. Before Gongsun Zan could react, he shouted to his subordinates.
"My lord, wait a minute, I'll be back soon."
Wen Chou responded, clapped his horse, came out with a gun, and stabbed Gongsun Zan in the face, intending to kill him with one shot so that he could come back and deliver the order.
Unfortunately, Gongsun Zan reacted when Yuan Shao called for people to come over and kill him, and he was already ready to fight.
When Wen Chou came to kill him, Gongsun Zan was already on guard. Seeing that the situation was not good, it was Wen Chou, a fierce general, who came. At that time, he turned the horse's head and ran very smoothly. When Wen Chou rushed out, only a trace of his back and a cloud of dust were left behind.
When Wen Chou saw that he had not succeeded and allowed Gongsun Zan to escape, he was very angry at that time. He rode his horse with a gun and came to the front of the Youzhou soldiers and horses, shouting.
"Hebei Wen Chou is here, who dares to come out and fight to the death!"
"Hebei Wen Chou is here, who dares to come out and fight to the death!"
"Hebei Wen Chou is here, who dares to come out and fight to the death!"
This voice was very arrogant, and it was also very annoying, but the entire Youzhou army was a bit silent, and no one responded. Just because they knew Wen Chou's abilities, they didn't dare to fight him. The one who was more impulsive before has become the dead soul that he snatched.
Now that Wen Chou is angry again, who dares to stand up? They all hid far away, not daring to show their heads, for fear that harm would happen to them and their lives would be at stake. Safety comes first, and you won’t even be the first to do it.
So they all cowered. Wen Chou shouted several times without seeing him, and the people on the opposite side came out to fight. This made Wen Chou even more angry. At that time, he wanted to charge towards him with his two guns.
Later, I thought about it and let it go. Although I was brave, I was weak and could easily be surrounded. The gain outweighed the loss. I had no choice but to return to the formation in confusion and confess my sin to the Lord.
Yuan Shao was very satisfied after seeing Wen Chou show off his power, and the morale of the Youzhou soldiers and horses on the opposite side was greatly affected. The goal was achieved. No one blamed Wen Chou, he just tried to persuade him to be calm and calm.
Gongsun Zan had escaped back in embarrassment and was a little embarrassed and angry. Seeing Wen Chou's unscrupulous provocation, but none of his own men dared to stand up and challenge him, he immediately felt furious.
I also saw that the morale of my men was very low, a little weak to the extreme. Knowing that if this continues, there will be no need to fight this battle, and we might as well surrender.
So Gongsun Zan couldn't bear it anymore. He pulled out his sword, pointed in the direction of Yuan Shao's army, and shouted to his white horse Yi Cong.
"The white horse obeys and is invincible. All the soldiers in the army, listen to my order and follow me to chop Yuan Shao."
Since one-on-one combat won't work, let's simply attack with the entire army. Let you know how powerful Baima Yicong is and what I am capable of.
Gongsun Zan was very confident and proud of this warrior under his command who had fought many bloody battles with barbarians. And Baima Yicong did not disappoint him, hearing his lord's shout. He also shouted his invincible slogan to cheer himself up, and his momentum began to rise for a while.
"The white horse obeys and is invincible!"
"The white horse obeys and is invincible!"
"The white horse obeys and is invincible!"
Seeing this, Yuan Shao looked at Zhao Yun and signaled that he could take action and let Youzhou's invincible cavalry see the style of the invincible tiger and leopard cavalry.
Zhao Yun nodded knowingly to show that he understood. He stepped forward casually, raised his gun and said, "Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, follow me and kill. Let them see what it means to be invincible!" After saying that, he took the lead and took the lead in launching the attack. charge.
Without any instructions or slogans, the 30,000 tiger and leopard cavalry under his command also rushed out of the phalanx, maintaining their own unique formation, and killed Baima Yicong.
Not to be outdone, Gongsun Zan came forward with 50,000 white horse rebels, and soon they were fighting, and there was a feast of cavalry duel.
Only the crackling and the clashing of weapons were heard, and the killing cries on the battlefield also sounded at the same time, and soon filled the entire battlefield. They were killed until the sky was dark and blood flowed like rivers.
The most eye-catching among them are undoubtedly the two cavalry commanders Zhao Yun and Gongsun Zan. I saw that both of them were white horses and silver spears, looking majestic. The difference is that Zhao Yun just casually put on a piece of leather armor and charged at the forefront. And Gongsun Zan didn't know whether it was because he was timid, but he came fully armed and in heavy armor, standing in the middle of the team to direct the battle, a bit like supervising the battle.
Originally, the 50,000 white-horse Yi Cong and the 30,000 Tiger and Leopard Cavalry should be evenly matched. Logically speaking, they should be able to fight equally. But the battlefield is full of uncertainties and surprises. The situation on the battlefield quickly changed.
