Chapter 301: The Battle of the Boundary Bridge

However, it was said that Gongsun Zan had a big battle with Yuan Shaojun and folded Fan Fang. At this time, Yan Gang and others all persuaded Gongsun Zan to return to the army. Yan Gang said: "My lord, we have retreated from Yuan Shaojun, and we have captured countless banners and burdens on the way. This big win too. Why don't you capture the crowd and return to Youzhou to accumulate military strength. ”

Tian Yu also advised: "Yuan Shao is defeated but not chaotic, and he still has the strength to set up an ambush here." If our army advances further, it will enter the hinterland of Jizhou. If there is another ambush, our army will be in danger. ”

Gongsun Chan pondered for a long time, and suddenly burst out laughing, and the generals didn't know why Gongsun Chan was laughing. I saw Gongsun Zan and said: "Yuan Shao and I have become fire and water, and we vow not to stand together." Now he has broken his army. However, Jizhou has a strong foundation, if he does not take advantage of the victory to pursue and let Yuan Shao recover his vitality, then he will come to fight this year and come to conquer next year. I have no peace in Youzhou. And if he wants to retreat and leave in a hurry, how can he set up an ambush in a row? It's to trick me into quitting the army. ”

So Gongsun Zhan didn't listen to the generals, and came back to chase Yuan Shaojun. Sure enough, all the way down, only the souls of the Jizhou soldiers were lost, and they scattered and fled, but they never encountered ambushes again.

chased all the way south, during which there were dozens of large and small encounters, and Gongsun Chan won all of them, so he became more and more rigid. On this day, the pursuers arrived at the boundary of the boundary bridge, and Gongsun Zhan smiled and said to the generals: "Cross the boundary bridge, go straight into Wei County, and wait for my army to surround Ye, Yuan Shao Xiaoer has to be captured." ”

Jieqiao, located on the Qinghe River, is Julu County on the left, Qinghe Country on the right, Wei County on the bottom, and Anping Country on the top. According to the boundary of the four counties, it is called the boundary bridge.

The boundary bridge is the shape of Jizhou, and it has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times. There is a castle on the left side of the boundary bridge, called Gwangjong. When the Zhongping Rebellion broke out, Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang gathered people according to Guangzong, and Lu Zhi, Dong Zhuo and Huangfu Song successively led the Han army here to fight with the Yellow Turban Army. In the end, due to Zhang Jiao's illness and death, the morale of the Yellow Turban Army was low, and it was broken by Huangfu Song, who beheaded 30,000 and went to Qinghe and died.

When he arrived at the boundary bridge, Zhao Yun said: "General, this dangerous place must not be guarded against." ”

Gongsun Zan is also a veteran of the battlefield, although he didn't believe that Yuan Shao had ambushes, he still sent countless scouts to investigate. Then set up camp in the north of the boundary bridge. On the second day, the scout came to report that there was no ambush in sight. So Gongsun Chan set up camp and crossed the boundary bridge and went south.

When he arrived at Guangzong City, Gongsun Zhan saw that the wild was full of white bones, barren grass, and the surroundings were empty and uninhabited, and there was a dilapidated scene. Rao is his iron-blooded heart, and he can't help but feel compassion at this moment. sighed: "If there was no Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Han Dynasty would not be like this." He sighed in his mouth, but he thought in his heart, if I didn't have Zhang Jiao, how could I take tens of thousands of armor, crisscross thousands of miles, and conquer on my own?

After Guangzong, Gongsun Zan led the army to continue southward, and said with a smile on the way: "Yuan Shao is so timid, if the garrison in Guangzong rejects me, I can only look south at Wei County and sigh." ”

The voice fell, and suddenly a cannon thought was heard, and the drum beat loudly. Gongsun Chan was shocked and angry, causing people to probe him. Before long, the small colonel reported back and said that the front Koji Yi led more than 1,000 armor soldiers to block the road.

Gongsun Zhan looked at it from a distance, and when he saw the banner of Koji Yi from afar, he said: "Who broke it with me?" ”

Tian Yu next to him said: "General, Ko Yi suddenly appeared here, I am afraid that he will be deceitful, it is better to retire for the time being." ”

Gongsun Zhan said: "I have tens of thousands of armor soldiers, why not be afraid of koji righteousness!" Seeing that Koji Yi led his troops to occupy the side slope of the road and was condescending, he ordered Yan Gang to lead Bai Ma Yi to attack it.

Yan Gang led 5,000 horsemen to roar away and take Koji Yi. Koji Yi was wearing heavy armor, standing in front of the battle with a horizontal sword, and ordered the sword and shield hand to lie down under the giant shield, and he could not go out without an order. He also ordered the strong crossbowmen behind the slope to begin to prepare.

Five thousand elite riders, with the momentum of thunder, went straight to Koyi. The sound of rumbling horses' hooves makes people's hearts beat like drums. The thousands of people led by Koji Yi are all soldiers of a hundred battles in Jizhou, Rao is like this, and he can't help but change color for it.

The enemy cavalry was getting closer and closer to Kojiyi, and sweat was dripping from the soldiers' eyebrows. When he was only a few dozen paces, he saw that several enemy horsemen were about to crash into his formation, and Koji Yi shouted: "Attack!" Crossbowman bursts! ”

So he jumped up with his sword and shield men, and slashed at the horse's hooves. At the same time, the crossbowmen behind the slope stood one after another, and the strong crossbows in their hands were fired continuously, and the rain of arrows covered the white horse like a cloud.

The sudden rain of arrows struck Bai Ma Yicong into chaos. The cavalry momentum is sluggish, and the cavalry mainly rushes at the speed of men and horses, and if the horse speed slows down, there is no advantage. Yan Gang was in front and shouted: "Don't stop! Keep moving! ”

The crossbow captain asked the crossbowmen to shoot non-stop, and wherever the enemy cavalry gathered together to charge, he would shoot wherever he went. Koji Yi led the sword and shield hands, and selected the slow horse's hand, cutting people's legs and horses' hooves. Yan Gang was wearing a number of arrows, and when he saw Koji Yi, his eyes were extremely red, and he rushed up with a roar, and the sword flashed, slashing Koji Yi.

Koji Yi is also a lifeless one, snatching the big shield to take Yan Gang's blow, and then before being knocked into the air, the big knife swinged, cutting off the hind legs of Yan Gang's mount.

Yan Gang's mount hissed sadly, his front hooves were weak, and he fell to the ground, and when Yan Gang rolled and stood up, Koji Yi had already rushed over with a knife.

Koji Yi coughed a few times and spit out a mouthful of dirty blood, just before Yan Gang hit it, it was enough for him to bear, but he was afraid that it would hurt his internal organs. Koji Yi said: "Yan Gang, you have been surrounded, don't descend quickly!" ”

Yan Gang said angrily: "It's just death, what am I afraid of." So he brought a sword to fight Kojiyi. With a wave of his big hand, countless crossbowmen poured up all around, the trigger was pulled, and the arrows flew like rain, Yan Gang roared angrily, and dozens of arrows died in his body.

Yan Gang died, and Bai Mayi fled from all sides. Gongsun Zhan was behind, seeing that Yan Gang was in danger, and he couldn't save him, he mourned and pointed at Koji Yi with hatred: "I will take the head of the koji thief." ”

So he led a large army to chase after him. Next to him, Zhao Yun said: "General, Liyi has appeared, Yuan Shao will be on the left and right, if you don't retreat quickly, our army will be in danger." ”

Where can Gongsun Chan still listen. He was not only sad about the death of Yan Gang, but also saddened the loss of Bai Ma's righteous obedience. If you don't take revenge, you will not retreat. Tian Yu and Zhao Yun glanced at each other, knowing that they were humble and light-hearted, so they had no choice but to be on guard.

Gongsun Zan led the army to fight Kojiyi, Koji Yi led the army away, and before long, suddenly the drums beat loudly, and Yuan Shaozi led tens of thousands of troops to appear in front. Yuan Shaoan sat in the car, full of spirits, and said loudly: "Gongsun Zhan, today you are dead!" So an order was given, and the three armies vibrated together to fight Gongsun Zhan.

This will Gongsun Zhan also understood that this is Yuan Shao's trap. So he led the army to retreat. Yuan Shao took advantage of the situation to pursue, and Gongsun Zhan's army was distracted and fled in defeat. Fleeing to the boundary bridge, Gongsun Zhan gathered his subordinates and said: "Defend the boundary bridge, I can also fight with Yuan Shao!" So he led the army to the boundary bridge.

But it was said that Bai Ma Yi folded Yan Gang and fled in the wilderness. When Yuan Shao defeated Gongsun Zhan, he reinstated the generals as the vanguards, and he and the ministers stayed behind and the seriously injured Koji Yi slowly advanced. At this time, there were hundreds of pro-troops around him. Suddenly, Bai Mayi led the army from the captain to run around, and met Yuan Shao on the road, and both sides were shocked. The captain said: "It's hard to get out of a battle without dying." So he led the crowd to fight Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao's pro-army was in turmoil, protecting Yuan Shao and fighting and retreating. When he arrived at a deserted house, Tian Feng said: "The lord can retreat quickly, and we will wait for the lord to judge." ”

Yuan Shaoyi frowned, what was left here was his roots, if he really wanted to run away first, what face would he have to return to Yecheng. So he took his helmet and threw it to the ground, saying, "The husband is fighting to the death, how can he be single and die?" ”

So he went out to command in person, and Koji Yi also struggled to come out to boost morale. The appearance of the two Optimus Primes immediately stabilized the morale of the army, and the counterattack became orderly. Bai Ma Yi was eager to flee for his life, but he didn't know Yuan Shao and others. After fighting for a while, I saw that the enemy was stubborn and desperate, and I saw that the road was open. He didn't want to fight again, so he roared away.

Yuan Shao saw the enemy retreating, and couldn't help but let out a long breath, at this time his heart was like a drum, sweating through his heavy clothes, until he was sent to the front army and ordered someone to greet him, and his heart was completely settled.

Yuan Shao, who almost died here, originally wanted to comfort Lu Yi, who had just made great achievements and was seriously injured. After this incident, there was no interest. He went back to rest in his tent. As a general of Jizhou, Koji Yi fought first against Baima Yicong, and he was also seriously injured, which can be said to be a special achievement, and he endured his injuries and fought side by side with Yuan Shao to repel the enemy together. But I didn't see my father-in-law come to visit and comfort him, and I was quite unhappy in my heart.
