Chapter 208: Desperate Survival

"None of them will be left!" Riding a white horse and standing under the banner of the commander of the Chinese army, Gongsun Zhan straightened his waist with his sword in his hand, and watched the Jizhou army on the battlefield in the distance slashing and killing the Yellow Turban Army under Guan Hai, and suddenly shouted, and issued an order to kill the Jizhou army that was launching wave after wave of attacks on the battlefield.

Since the Yellow Turban Uprising, the Yellow Turban Army of equal numbers has almost never had a chance of winning against the official army, not to mention that there are only a few thousand people under the command of Guan Hai, and they are facing tens of thousands of stubborn Jizhou troops.

The Jizhou army armed with a big shield and a short spear formed a wall of people, advancing rapidly towards the Yellow Turban Army, and every time they pushed further, many Yellow Turban Army would fall under the short spears stabbed by the Jizhou soldiers.

Guan Hai held the hilt of the knife with both hands, and violently slashed the big knife towards the oncoming Jizhou soldiers. The heavy big knife slashed at the big shield of a Jizhou soldier, and although the wooden big shield was thick, it still couldn't withstand such a fierce blow.

The shield made a crisp sound of "pop", and was split in half by Guan Hai from the middle. The sharp blade slashed through the small arm of the Jizhou soldier holding the shield, and the Jizhou soldier howled miserably, and half of the small arm was cut off by the big knife and fell to the ground.

Seeing that his companion's arm was cut off, the Jizhou soldiers on the side hurriedly stepped forward to protect him, and the Jizhou soldiers behind took advantage of the situation to drag the injured soldier to a safe place, and Guan Hai quickly reassembled a solid shield wall in front of him.

The Jizhou Army, which was advancing in an orderly manner, and the Yellow Turban Army, which was fighting in a disorderly manner, had a great advantage.

And not far from the battlefield, more than 1,000 White Horse Yicong had already put their arrows on the bowstring and aimed at the Yellow Turban soldiers who were fighting with thousands of Jizhou infantry.

Pieces of Yellow Turban soldiers fell to the ground under the advance of the Jizhou soldiers, and some of the Yellow Turban soldiers who were split to the ground and had not yet died struggled to get up, but the Jizhou soldiers who advanced up would not give them a chance to stand up again, and a sharp short spear pierced the bodies of these Yellow Turban soldiers fiercely, nailing them to the ground.

"Run! If you don't run again, you'll die! The battle didn't last long, the casualties of the Yellow Turban Army were extremely heavy, Guan Hai didn't know who shouted behind him, and the Yellow Turban soldiers who were still alive suddenly lost the courage to continue fighting, and they rushed backwards with a "hula" swarm.

A knife slashed over a Jizhou soldier who was advancing forward, Guan Hai heard a shout of "If you don't run, you won't die" behind him, and hurriedly turned around, but what he saw was that the Yellow Turban soldiers who were fighting with him were running backwards like a group of rats being driven away.

As soon as the Yellow Turban Army broke up, more than a thousand White Horse Righteous Servants who had been waiting in the distance hurriedly stepped forward, opened their bows and arrows, and shot a puff of arrows at them.

Arrows rained down, and the fleeing Yellow Turban soldiers only knew how to flee with their heads in their hands, where could they still take care of defensive arrows, and they were shot over a large area in an instant.

Shooting the first rain of arrows, Bai Ma Yicong clamped the horse's belly one after another, pushed forward a little, and then shot the second rain of arrows at the Yellow Turban Army who were fleeing in a swarm.

Seeing the Yellow Turban Army fall in pieces, Guan Hai roared like crazy, and was about to raise his knife to pounce on the Jizhou Army's array, but a blood-stained palm grabbed his arm tightly at this time.

"Big brother, we've been defeated, let's go!" With a big knife in one hand, Guan Qing, who had killed many Jizhou soldiers, was covered in blood, and pulled Guan Hai and shouted.

Dragged by Guan Qing, Guan Hai's facial muscles trembled violently a few times, and then he glared at the Jizhou soldiers who were advancing towards them unwillingly, and retreated backwards to the west with Guan Qing.

The Yellow Turban Army beside them fell one by one, and Guan Hai and Guan Qing picked up a shield alone, and while blocking the arrows shot at them by Bai Ma Yicong, they quickly retreated towards the west.

The Jizhou heavy infantry with big shields and short spears were gradually thrown away, but more than a thousand Baima Yicong who followed closely followed were like maggots on tarsal bones, unable to shake them off, and fell far behind, firing arrows at Guan Hai and others.

Thousands of Yellow Turban troops landed on the shore, and the Jizhou army only rushed and killed them once, and most of the Yellow Turban Army had already fallen, and only five or seven hundred people were left who rushed west with the Guan Hai brothers and sisters.

Bai Ma Yi, who fell far behind, kept firing arrows at Guan Hai and the others, and one by one the Yellow Turban Army, who were running for their lives, fell beside Guan Hai and Guan Qing and fell on the hard yellow earth.

The muscles of Guan Hai's face twitched violently, and his eyes were full of anger as if they were about to erupt into flames.

"The general is not good!" As hundreds of Yellow Turban soldiers were fleeing westward, a Yellow Turban soldier who was running beside Guan Hai suddenly shouted in a frightened tone, raised his hand to point ahead, and shouted to Guan Hai: "There is another officer army in front!" ”

Following the direction of the Yellow Turban Army's finger, Guan Hai and Guan Qing looked forward together, and sure enough, in front of them, a group of officers and soldiers wearing fiery red armor appeared.

The new officers and soldiers were all cavalrymen on war horses, running far along the riverbank, like a ball of dancing flames, which was very beautiful.

The fiery red military uniforms were extremely eye-catching, and in the eyes of Guan Hai and the other Yellow Turban soldiers, the pieces of red that danced like flames were like life-threatening notes, urging them to hand over their lives.

Behind them were the white horsemen who rode white horses and shot them unhurriedly, and in front of them were a group of red cavalry galloping towards them. Guan Hai stopped suddenly, used his shield to block several arrows flying towards him, roared, and shouted to the Yellow Turban Army beside him: "Brothers, Hengzhi is a death, and the array defense is fighting with them!" ”

"Big brother and slow!" As soon as Guan Hai's shout fell, Guan Qing, who was standing side by side with him, raised his hand and pointed at the red-clothed cavalry who rushed up, and shouted to him: "That seems to be the army of King Hongnong!" ”

"What's wrong with King Hongnong?" While carrying a shield to block the arrows shot by Bai Ma Yi, Guan Hai glared at Guan Qing and shouted in a rough voice: "It's not the same as the Jizhou army, they are all court lackeys who want to kill us and other yellow turbans!" ”

The cavalry of Liu Bianjun, who was wearing big red armor, was getting closer and closer, and Guan Hai and the others could already see the gold-armored generals who were riding their horses and running at the front.

The arrows shot by Bai Ma Yi still pounced on Guan Hai and the Yellow Turban Army beside him like flying locusts, and the Yellow Turban Army, which had been cornered, formed a large circle under Guan Hai's command and built a shield wall that was not very tight with shields.

The arrows flew into the shield wall of the Yellow Turban Army, and one by one the Yellow Turban soldiers fell down with arrows, and in just an instant, there were less than 100 Yellow Turban soldiers left around Guan Hai.

Stepping on the corpses of their companions covered with arrows, the Yellow Turban Army held their shields and slowly retreated towards the Jishui River, while the cavalry of Liu Weijun, who had already rushed to them less than a hundred paces away from them, blocked their shields in front of them one after another, lined up in a neat formation, and slowed down the speed of advancing towards them.

Liu Weijun's cavalry lined up in formation, and then rushed out of the array with a fast horse, and the fast horse galloped to a position only twenty or thirty steps away from Guan Hai and the others, and the military general on horseback shouted to Guan Hai and the others: "Is General Guan Hai ahead?" A certain is Han Siam, on the order of His Royal Highness of a certain family, I am here to rescue, please move closer to His Highness's army quickly! ”

The Yellow Turban Army, who originally thought that they would definitely die, heard Han Xian shouting like this, and they all turned their expectant eyes to Guan Hai.

"Big brother!" Knowing that Liu Wei came to rescue them, even Guan Qing, who was beside Guan Hai, urged him without the slightest hesitation.

Guan Hai knows very well that if he moves closer to Liu Bianjun this time and saves his life under the protection of Liu Bian, he owes Liu Bian a favor that is difficult to repay, and I am afraid that he can only follow Liu Biao from now on, and it is impossible to return to the Yellow Turban Army!

"Let's go!" The arrows flew in pieces, and a few more Yellow Turban soldiers fell, Guan Hai let out a loud shout, holding a shield, and while blocking the arrows flying towards them, he quickly retreated towards Liu Weijun's array.

When Guan Hai and the others retreated to a place only thirty or twenty steps away from Liu Bianjun's big array, Liu Bianjun's cavalry wearing big red armor quickly caught up, allowing Guan Hai and those surviving Yellow Turban troops to drill behind their array.

The white horse who shot the Yellow Turban Army, seeing that Liu Bianjun suddenly rushed out and saved Guan Hai and others, they buckled their arrows on the bowstring and aimed at Liu Bianjun's cavalry, but they did not fire.

The cavalry of Liu Bianjun, who protected Guan Hai and others, held the shield in one hand and the Pu knife tightly in the other, staring at the white horse righteous servants on the opposite side from a distance, just waiting for Liu Bian's order, they would rush forward and fight with the Jizhou army.

On the battlefield that was still one-sided just now, the situation was reversed in an instant, and the confrontation with the Jizhou Army was no longer the Yellow Turban Army, which had old weapons and weak combat effectiveness, but the elite of Liu Bianjun, who had experienced the test of the battlefield and had defeated the Hedong Army and the Xiliang Army.

"General, King Hongnong's cavalry suddenly appeared and saved Guan Hai and other thieves!" In the Jizhou army array, Gongsun Zhan was watching the battlefield where the accident had occurred, and Guan Jing, who was standing behind him on horseback, whispered to him: "What is the general's plan?" ”

Looking up into the distance, Gongsun Chan noticed that a black battle flag had appeared at the end of the horizon, and a large army was rapidly advancing towards the shore of Jishui.

Looking at the battle flag that had just appeared, Gongsun Zhan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said coldly: "What else?" Seeing that the army of King Hongnong is coming, doesn't Chang Shimo want to start a battle with King Hongnong? ”

As soon as Gongsun Chan said this, Guan Jing noticed that a large army was approaching the battlefield in the distance. He furrowed his brows slightly, his lips moved, and after a while, he asked Gongsun Zhan, "The general wants to withdraw his troops?" ”

"In the overlapping city, the matter of the Bohai Navy has not yet been discussed with King Hongnong, and now he protects the Yellow Turban thieves, if he is not the emperor, even if he risks the disapproval of the world today, this general will also behead him!" Due to anger, the white beard on Gongsun Zhan's chin trembled slightly, and he said to Guan Jing hatefully: "It's just that once a war starts with it, Yuan Shao's mouth will definitely fall, and Yanzhou Cao Cao will also take the opportunity to attack, Bohai and Jizhou are difficult to deal with two strong enemies at the same time, and I will wait and retreat today!" ”

Deciding to withdraw the troops, Gongsun Chan waved his hand at the officer in charge of the herald behind him, and the officer hurriedly waved the small flag used for the herald and waved the flag to the more than 1,000 white horse Yicong who confronted Liu Bianjun.
