After resting for a while and looking at the sky, Yuan Shao ordered the three armies to set off. Gao Gan glanced at the distracted and depressed troops, and his heart was also silent, and he marched to Yuan Shao's place, and said: "Lord, can you go to Yecheng and let the eldest prince lead the army to pick it up?" โ
Yuan Shao thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No need, after the two roads were broken, when the chasing soldiers came, I had already returned to Wei County." Gao Gan thought about it too, so he didn't say more. The horses were on the side of the army, shouting back and forth, causing the army to speed up the march.
walked for a while, but gradually approached the ambush circle of the Qingzhou army.
The place of ambush is not a dangerous place. A small river meanders eastward, and along the river is the official road made of loess. On the other side of the official road, there is a wide field. A little further on, there is a small hill on the left, from which the mountains stretch backwards into the distance. There are not many trees on the mound, and there are countless artemisia grasses. Wei Yan and Sha Mo led an army to hide here.
After crossing this small hill, there is a flat river ahead. No one would have thought that the Qingzhou army would set up an ambush here, and Sha Mo was a barbarian general from the mountains and forests, and he was very good at hiding his qi in the mountains and forests. It was Yuan Shao who led the army all the way here, but he didn't find anything abnormal.
Only Gao Gan vaguely felt a little uneasy in his heart. However, he only thought it was a normal reaction after the defeat, so he didn't care anymore. Seeing Yuan Shao approaching, Wei Yan raised his hand. The crossbowmen hidden in the grass all quietly wound the crossbows, and as long as Wei Zheng pressed the gesture down, he was about to pull the trigger.
Because the hill ends here, there are not many people hiding in front of you. After some discussion with Shamo, Wei Yan decided to deploy all the crossbowmen in front, and after the crossbowmen were activated, the army in the rear would rush out again.
Yuan Shao was walking, and suddenly the mount under him suddenly became restless, Yuan Shao held his mane, and sighed: "Horse, horse, you have worked hard this time, and when you return to Yecheng, I will make people wait for you." โ
Yuan Shao rode a famous horse offered by the Hu people, and he loved it very much in the past and took good care of it. It's just that in this battle, after the camp was broken, the three armies were scattered, but his horseman disappeared, and he probably died on the way. Yuan Shao only thought that the mount had not been in the ** material for a long time, so he was irritable, so he kept pacifying.
Who knows that the more appeased, the more unbridled the horses will be. Shaking his head is that he refuses to move forward, Yuan Shao's soldiers defeated the boundary bridge, lost his division and lost his land, and his mood was already very bad, seeing that his mount was also unruly, he couldn't help but be angry, and shouted: "If you don't go forward again, you will be killed immediately!" โ
The horse heard Yuan Shao's shouting, but two tears overflowed in his huge eyes. At this moment, Wei Yan pressed his hand down fiercely, and immediately the chords sounded in unison, and countless arrows shot out.
This cloud of arrows was almost all covering Yuan Shao and the people around him. Wei Yan and Sha Mo were bent on catching Yuan Shao, but they didn't care too much about whether Yuan Shao was dead or alive. Therefore, it has long been agreed that as long as he sees Yuan Shao's department, he will focus on attacking Yuan Shao and the civil and military forces around him. It is the man who shoots the horse first, and the thief who captures the king first.
When the sound of "boom" woke up countless people, Yuan Shao's mount actually neighed, and the person stood up, and immediately lifted Yuan Shao off the horse, and then blocked Yuan Shao in front of him, and actually blocked most of the arrows for Yuan Shao with his flesh and blood. Rao is like this, Yuan Shao was still hit by an arrow in his arm, Yuan Shao shouted, and when he saw Yuan Shao hit the arrow left and right, he immediately pounced. The soldiers put up the shield and protected Yuan Shao strongly, and then asked urgently: "Is the lord sick?" โ
Yuan Shao looked at the arrows that passed through his arm, and then at the mount that had already been hit by countless arrows and had fallen to the ground and died, his heart was sour, he endured the severe pain, and said: "Quickly find General Gao, and let him command our army to break through!" โ
When the rain of arrows came like clouds, because of the suddenness of the incident, countless people around Yuan Shao screamed and fell to the ground. At this time, Gao Gan was in the front army, smelling the chaos behind him, and looking back, he saw that the main general of the Chinese army was already ambushing countless corpses, and he did not see Yuan Shao's figure, and he saw that there were countless shadows on the hill and countless Qingzhou troops jumping and shouting. couldn't help but be shocked, so he wanted to save him. Seeing that the faces of the former soldiers were afraid, he said coldly: "If the lord has something, the eldest prince is still in Yecheng, and your relatives should be beheaded!" โ
As soon as the soldiers heard this, they instantly threw their lives away, and they wanted to go forward and fight with a scream. When Gao Gan saw this, he asked the general to lead an army to the hill to set fire to stop the enemy, and then looked back and said: "As long as the general is saved, we will leave, and there is no need to entangle with the Qingzhou thief army!" โ
Everyone was in a hurry, and Gao Gan raised his troops and rushed to the Chinese army.
After Wei Yan waited for a few rounds of arrows, he gave an order, and suddenly the three armies roared and rushed towards the Chinese army. He didn't care about the front and rear armies, as long as he took Yuan Shao's head, it would be considered a success.
The army came all over the mountains, but it was stubbornly counterattacked by Yuan Shao's own soldiers.
Wei Yan is still young after all, and after all the calculations, he didn't count the people who could retreat with Yuan Shao's side, all of them were the elite of Jizhou. Yuan Shao is backed by the powerful Yuan family, and he is extraordinary, and he is used to winning people's hearts. In the words of later generations, it is a good family background, good looks, ability and affinity. Therefore, most of the people who are still following him at this time are heart-wrenching dead men who are willing to die for him. And if the main general has something, how can the soldiers have the reason not to fight to the death?
Wei Yan and Sha Mo's troops were not very many, and if they were blocked by Yuan Shao's dead soldiers, the offensive would be stagnant. This was so slow that Gao Gan raised troops to kill him.
Gao Gan is the highest person outside Yuan Shao at this time, he is known as a prestige in the army, and the soldiers saw Gao Gan coming to help, and their morale was greatly boosted.
Wei Yan saw that the enemy army was completely defenseless, and he had a life-for-life style of fighting, but his brows were furrowed. He fought a big battle in Quzhou, and almost ran out of arrows. Although Quzhou was occupied, because the two armies were attacking each other, each had its own consumption, and it was not much to replenish. Later, he lurked here, saw Yuan Shao, and sent thousands of arrows together, but at this time, the army was almost exhausted. Otherwise, why be afraid of these dead soldiers, just shoot them with arrows from afar.
Shamor took the lead, rushed into the enemy formation, and the iron rod swept through, it was a bloody storm, and he was killing himself, and suddenly a horse came, and it was the high cadre. Gao Gan's iron spear stretched out, and the enemy was at Nasamo, and then said to the generals around him: "Let's go and block the enemy." โ
With reinforcements, the Yuan army was no longer in a panic, and the front and rear divisions gradually moved closer to the Chinese army, and under the command of the generals, they formed a formation and quickly pressed towards Wei Yan's headquarters.
At this moment, suddenly another pro-soldier came to report, and the fire broke out behind the mountain. Wei Yan looked back, but saw that behind the mountain not far away, the fire had already risen into the sky, burning towards the place where Fang had just hidden.
Wei Yan fought with the idea of hitting with one blow, and all the strength poured out, but there was no one left behind the mountain. At this time, the fire spread behind him, and the battle situation in front of him was stalemate. Wei Yan thought to himself, since he couldn't kill Yuan Shao, he couldn't stay for a long time, if other reinforcements heard the news, our army would suffer too many losses, but it would not look good in front of the lord. It's better to retreat.
As soon as he thought of this, he ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops. Shamo had a big battle with Gao Gan, and he felt that Gao Gan was gradually unable to cover it, and he was overjoyed in his heart, and suddenly heard the sound of gold. I couldn't help but be stunned. The hand was slow, and Gao Gan took this opportunity, but he jumped out of the battle circle.
