Chapter 412: Yuan Shao's defeat

Gao Gan and Zhang Fei, each led two cavalry, and they were strangled together again. Over there, Zhao Yun and Gao Ran were also in their own departments, fighting back and forth in each other's formations. One after another, the cavalry screamed and fell off their horses, and those who were lucky could still save their corpses, and those who were unlucky had been trampled into meat by thousands of horses' hooves.

The murderous aura shook the clouds above the sky, and the wind blew, and the smell of blood drifted with the wind. When Zhao Yun led his troops to attack Gaoran, he rushed to kill while shouting: "Disperse, rush and kill in a team!" Hearing Zhao Yun's call, the cavalry behind him immediately changed formations, and columns of cavalry instantly gathered into a small team, and under the leadership of the team, they followed Zhao Yun to charge. The swords and lights staggered, and some people on both sides turned over and fell off their horses. To measure whether an army is elite or not, it is necessary to see whether the soldiers have the spirit of not fearing death, rich fighting consciousness, and clear organizational discipline.

In Liu Bei's view, discipline is the most important thing in an army. Even in the case of heavy casualties, there are very few routs of troops with strict military discipline. And the unorganized and undisciplined armies, including the steppe peoples, without exception, were defeated. The steppe peoples were even more fierce and warlike than the Han Chinese.

At a distance, arrows were the main means of attack for cavalry, but this advantage often disappeared quickly. Because the cavalry was so fast, when they were about to collide head-on, the cavalry abandoned their bows and arrows, drew their long knives, raised their spears, and began to collide wildly.

Zhao Yun and Gao Ran, the main generals on both sides avoided each other intentionally or unintentionally, and chose ordinary cavalry to kill the killer. In the melee, arrows flew wildly, armor was slashed, and the sun hanging high in the sky indifferently witnessed this bloody war. When the cavalry was exhausted, the commanders on both sides unanimously ordered the cavalry to collect their troops and return to the camp. Even if they could still fight, the warriors behind them were already sore and stiff. The horses were also exhausted and powerless in shock. At this time, leaving the precious cavalry on the battlefield will cause senseless sacrifices. So on the battlefield, the foot soldiers became the natural protagonists.

Yuan Shao and Liu Bei's purpose of relying on cavalry to impact each other's formations has failed. Gao Gan and Gao Ran are not the enemies of Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, although the losses are much more than the Qingzhou cavalry, but they also successfully exhausted the strength of the Qingzhou cavalry, and the rest depends on the foot soldiers.

At this time, Lu Bu was in front, and he was already cooperating with Gao Shun and other generals to tear out a sharp gap in the Yuan army camp. Although Yuan Shao commanded countless soldiers to fill the position, the crossbowmen in the rear were also pouring out the rain of arrows, but the effect was not good. Lu Bu led the generals, took the lead, and fought at the forefront of danger. Under their encouragement, countless soldiers fell behind, and countless soldiers gathered in a steady stream. Assault on Yuan's formation. Huang Zhong led the Qingzhou archers, not far behind, ready to support. Liu Ke and Sha Mo also led the army, rushing back and forth to help the battle. Suddenly, the gap in Yuan's army formation became even more obvious. Countless Qingzhou troops, following their own team leaders and commanders, rushed to kill.

The arms covered each other, the sword and shield man was in the front, and the spearman followed, and after the sword and shield man blocked the enemy's sword and gun with his shield, the spearmen behind him stabbed the spear fiercely, and did not hesitate to nail the enemy to the ground. The two armies that had killed each other were on this vast battlefield, entangled like two giant dragons, hissing and fighting. When one of the dragons had enough blood on its body, the quantitative change finally led to a qualitative change.

The Jizhou soldiers can fight fiercely with Gongsun Zan for many years, and they are indeed worthy of the title of elite. Even in the face of a combination like Liu Bei and Lu Bu, they were still fearless, following the orders of their generals, raising the swords and guns in their hands, and shouting loudly to kill the enemy on the opposite side. In their hearts, only dead enemies are good enemies. It can bring them glory, military exploits, and wealth.

It's just a pity that they met an army as brave and fearless as them, and the generals of this army are a dream combination in the world. Lu Bu, Huang Zhong, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Gao Shun, Liu Ke, Sha Mo...... A series of names is enough to shock the world. Therefore, when the Yuan army found that no matter how heroic, tenacious, and fierce they were, they still had nothing to do with the opposing army, a trace of fear finally emerged in the depths of their hearts. Emotions, on the other hand, are contagious. When a soldier's gaze is no longer firm and his palm is no longer firm, the knife he slashes out finally loses its strength. When a soldier no longer walked forward, but silently took a step back, his small team also cooperated with him to take a step back.

When the Yuan army found themselves retreating step by step, and the enemy army on the opposite side was advancing step by step, they finally understood that their army had been defeated. Yuan Shao was in the Chinese army, standing on a tall building to watch the battle and command, he had a clear understanding of the situation on the battlefield, but unfortunately no matter how fast he reacted, he could not prevent the gradual collapse and collapse of the morale of the army.

Morale is a very magical term. No one can figure it out. The Jizhou Army, when the scales of the war gradually tilted towards the Qingzhou Army, the morale finally and inevitably began to decline. And this, in turn, set off a chain reaction. What Yuan Shao can discover, how can Liu Bei not know. Liu Bei was in the Chinese army, and when he saw from a distance that the Yuan army seemed to retreat, and the overall attack strength seemed to be a little weaker, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, so he ordered all the armies to launch together and attack the Yuan army. The cavalrymen, who were still breathing in the camp just now, also reappeared on the battlefield. Cruising in the distance, the flags fluttered and waved, bringing more pressure to the Yuan army, which was still fighting.

The Qingzhou army was on the battlefield, and the reaction was the most agile, as soon as Yuan Junfu retreated, they had already reacted, and while slashing and slashing more fiercely, they shouted at the top of their throats: "Yuan Jun is defeated, Yuan Jun is defeated!" ”

First one person shouted, then a team of people, a tun person, a song person, and countless people began to shout. While encouraging himself, he brought a huge psychological hint to the enemy.

Finally, when the first Yuan soldier couldn't stand the unprecedented pressure of this battlefield, dragged his knife and turned around and left, the large array of Yuan Jun finally collapsed at this moment. Although that Yuan soldier was slashed to the ground by the captain who supervised the battle at the first time, it was to no avail. The unequaled number of eyes has been seen. With the first, there is naturally the second, and the third......

Those weak deserters hurt the Jizhou soldiers. Many people do not want to run away and want to continue fighting. It's a pity that someone around them fled, and their trust in Pao Ze was instantly broken, and the tacit understanding accumulated on the battlefield was broken. In order not to throw their lives on the battlefield, they had to choose to retreat.

Yuan Shao sighed at a high place and ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops. While letting Gao Gan cover the retreat of the army, his handsome banner did not move half a step and still stood in its original position.

Gao Ran came to persuade Yuan Shao to go first, Yuan Shao shook his head, and said, "If I go, the army will be dispersed immediately; I'm here, and the military spirit can be gathered. ”
