Thousands of arrows flew across the sky like rain.
At this moment, Gongsun Zan's high passion turned into a cold knife and pierced his heart.
"withdraw!"
With a roar, Gongsun Zan was indeed a veteran on the battlefield. The moment the arrow rain came, he knew that he was in a trap and reacted immediately. The war horse had already charged up, and it was impossible to rein in the horse and turn back. He quickly bent down, hugged the horse's belly with his body and slid down, hiding his body under the horse's belly.
Such superb horse skills are amazing.
"Puff puff!"
The arrow rain struck, and there was a sharp sound of piercing the flesh. The dense arrows turned the men and horses within the area covered by the arrow rain into hedgehogs.
Under the rain of powerful crossbows and arrows, no one survived.
After the rain of arrows was shot, Gongsun Zan turned over the war horse that had been shot into a hedgehog, stood up covered in blood, panting heavily, and looked around at the corpses.
"General!"
Seven or eight soldiers came with shields and horses and brought a war horse. All those who came were wearing white horses and white robes. They were his elite confidants and the famous white horse followers in later generations.
The brave and good archers in Gongsun Zan's concentration camp formed a light cavalry unit and named it "White Horse Yicon". There were about three thousand elite cavalry and they were brave and invincible. However, during the Battle of Jieqiao, all the White Horse Yicong were lost. The whole army was destroyed.
Today's Baima Yicong was newly formed later, and its strength is not as good as before, but it is still the elite of the entire army.
At this time, the general of Baima Yicong was his general Tian Yu.
Tian Yu held a shield in front of him and escorted Gongsun Zan on his horse. A large number of white horse followers followed to escort Gongsun Zan.
At this time, Zhang He and Gao Lan led 10,000 cavalry to attack. They were now guilty, and now they were facing Gongsun Zan. They all held their breath in their hearts and rode their horses to attack Gongsun Zan with a fierce momentum.
"General, go first, I'll take the lead!"
Tian Yu's eyes were determined, and he led five thousand white horse Yi Cong to stop Zhang He and Gao Lan, allowing the five hundred cavalry to retreat with Gongsun Zan.
"kill!"
With a roar, Zhang He and Gao Lan charged away. The rumble of horse hooves was like thunder in the dark night, shaking the earth with murderous intent.
The cold wind is biting.
Tian Yu's eyes narrowed, he pursed his lips, his face full of determination, he raised his arms and shouted: "Where justice comes, life and death follow! The sky can tell you, and the white horse is the proof!"
The voice was high-pitched and passionate.
This is the slogan of Baima Yicong.
"Where righteousness comes, life and death follow it! The sky can tell you, and the white horse is the proof!"
The whole army shouted in unison, the sound shook the heaven and the earth, the echoes were endless, and the momentum was like a rainbow.
"kill!"
Tian Yu felt the energy and blood rush to his face, the muscles and bones in his body bulged, the blood became hot, and the courage in his chest almost burst through his chest and soared into the sky.
"kill!"
The whole army roared with momentum.
Zhang He and Gao Lan were not scared. The Baima Yicong had been completely lost in the Battle of Jieqiao. The current Baima Yicong was reorganized later, so there was nothing to worry about.
Both sides charged into battle.
Cavalry Hedge.
Zhang He and Gao Lan are two of the Four Court Pillars in Hebei, and they are undoubtedly strong. Tian Yu was not strong enough to face these two generals one against two, so he directly aimed at Zhang He and killed him.
As one of the Hebei generals, Gao Lan disdained to bully Tian Yu.
Both sides fight.
Zhang He held his sword and slashed at Tian Yu who was charging towards him. As fast as lightning, the sword shadow was cast. Tian Yu did not dare to be careless and hurriedly parried with his sword. The two sides fought, and Tian Yu was suppressed only by his defense.
The two sides passed each other.
Tian Yu was already sweating profusely.
One round was already full of dangers.
"kill!"
But he had no choice, so he turned back. Of the 5,000 men around him, more than 3,000 were left. They turned around and rode back to fight again.
Gao Lan led an army of 10,000 to pursue Gongsun Zan.
Zhang He led an army of 7,000 men to turn around and kill them. Today's Baima Yicong's fighting spirit is far inferior to that of the past. After a wave of hedging, the morale is no longer the same as before. The reason why they can still maintain their camp is entirely due to Tian Yu's hard support.
Zhang He admired Tian Yu's bravery. He raised his horse with his sword drawn, his eyes firm, and he clapped his horse to kill Tian Yu.
"Where justice comes, life and death will follow it! The sky can tell you, and the white horse is the proof! Kill!"
Tian Yu shouted excitedly, mounted his horse and charged away with a knife. Bai Ma Yicong behind him was infected by him and followed Tian Yu, roaring and roaring, killing towards the place, and his momentum became high again.
Perhaps, this was the last moment of glory for the White Horse Yicon. Perhaps these White Horse Yicon knew their final glory. Each one held a weapon and marched forward to kill the enemy without any one flinching.
Zhang He's face was cold.
Facing Baima Yicong's final counterattack, he chose a head-on confrontation. Although it would cause great losses to himself, it was also the last trace of respect for the enemy.
Both sides meet.
The shouts became even more deafening, the horses neighed, and then screams continued.
After the confrontation, only the last five or six hundred of the three thousand cavalry were left. Almost everyone was injured, and some even lost their arms and arms. The surviving people did not scream, reined in their horses, stopped, and looked back at the local generals.
"Tian Yu is really a tiger general!"
Zhang He admired sincerely.
"withdraw!"
Gongsun Zan had already retreated. Their mission had been successfully completed. There was no need to bury all the last seeds of Baima Yicong here. Tian Yu decisively ordered the retreat.
…
At this time, Gongsun Zan, escorted by five hundred white horse followers, came to a place ten miles away from Yijing. Gao Lan led the army in a frantic pursuit. Cold arrows were fired from behind. Ten kilometers away, five hundred people were shot until only three were left. More than a hundred people.
Guan Jing had already expected this, and he led 20,000 cavalry out to meet Gongsun Zan. When Gao Lan led his army to kill, Guan Jing led his army to rush in, picked up Gongsun Zan, and returned to Yi Jing.
Gao Lan had to stop the pursuit and wait for the large army behind.
After this battle, Gongsun Zan completely lost the chance to counterattack, his soldiers' fighting spirit was low, and Gongsun Zan huddled in Yijing and refused to come out.
Yuan Shao came with an army of 100,000 men.
He was a little disappointed that Gongsun Zan was not killed in this battle. Looking at the tortoise shell-like bunker, he shook his head and said: "Gongsun Zan is really an iron-shelled turtle. The speed at which he shrinks his head is really amazing."
Shen Pei said: "My lord, spring is coming soon. When the earth melts, we can dig a tunnel directly to Yi Jing. Without the iron shell of Yi Jing, Gongsun Zan will undoubtedly die!"
"Well... dig now!" Yuan Shao couldn't wait to say, "I heard that Zhang Xiu's No. 1 scholar used tunnels to conquer Dingxi City. It's also snowy and the mountains are blocked. He can dig more than I can? Before spring plowing, we must Dig a tunnel."
He can no longer consume food and grass, so decisive measures must be taken to end this war as soon as possible.
"How should Zhang Yan from the north respond?" Xu You said, "It would be better for him and Gongsun Zan to secretly raise fire. It is better to send General Yan to lead his army, use fire as a signal to lure him out, and ambush and kill him."
"Okay!" Yuan Shao nodded, "The Black Mountain bandits have been blocking me for many years, so I took this opportunity to kill all their leaders to avoid future troubles. I ordered Yan Liang to lead an army of thirty thousand, and ordered Xu You to join the army and go to war with the army."
"Here!"
Xu You and Yan Liang took the order and went down.
Shen Pei also started digging tunnels in preparation for the final battle.
Just when Yuan Shao was about to destroy Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shu of Lujiang could no longer hold on.
