Qin Feng's strategic intention was to merge the state, and before he took the state, he must not let either Yuan Shao or Gongsun Zan be wiped out. It is best to be evenly matched on both sides, so that these two enemies can contain each other, and Qin Feng can free up troops and horses to open up territory.

Therefore, in the battle of Hulu Valley, Gongsun Zhan, who was at a disadvantage, must not lose too badly, let alone let him lose too many soldiers and horses.

In order to achieve such a purpose, Qin Feng could only release the water.

On the battlefield, the melee between Yuan Shao's soldiers and Gongsun Zhan's soldiers began to disengage because of the sound of Mingjin. However, the rolling yellow sand will not disperse immediately, it still forms a mass, enveloping tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.

Qin Feng took advantage of this gap and ordered 10,000 cavalry troops to gallop through the two wings of this large mass of yellow sand.

Just when Gongsun Zhan emerged from the yellow sand in fear, Qin Feng's cavalry troops had already gone away. He secretly exclaimed that it was a fluke, he thought that it was because of the yellow sand that Qin Feng's cavalry troops could not distinguish between friend and foe. Fearing the pursuit, he hurriedly led the defeated troops to retreat.

When Qin Feng's soldiers and horses gathered at the mouth of the valley, Yuan Shaoqi's beard trembled, and this was a lot of opportunities for Qin Zi to be buried, and he ordered his subordinates to gather the soldiers and horses as soon as possible, so he went to Qin Feng to theorize.

"Zijin, why don't you wave your army to cover up and kill, if you and I attack back and forth, we will definitely be able to eliminate Gongsun Zhan!"

Qin Feng had already thought of the words to deal with, and when he heard the words, he said, "I heard the sound of Mingjin just now, so I didn't intercept it!" ”

Yuan Shao was angry and said, "That's Gongsun Chan Mingjin!" ”

Qin Feng spread his hands and said, "The soldiers and horses of the two sides are strangled together, and they can't tell each other apart in the dust. How do I know it's not the gold of the original brother Ming. I thought something had happened to my brother, so I didn't rush over to help ....... ”

Hereunto. Yuan Shao couldn't say anything more. After all, he also saw the yellow sand in the sky just now, even if it was him. They can't distinguish their own soldiers who are fighting chaotically. He could only admit that he was unlucky, and said: "Zijin, you must not let Gongsun Zhan escape back to the camp smoothly to set up defenses, you and I should chase after you quickly." Your cavalry moves quickly ......, can you go first? He said with a dumb eye.

"Okay!" Qin Feng was really afraid that Yuan Shao would chase and kill the past, which would cause the defeated and fleeing Gongsun Zan to suffer further losses, so he nodded in agreement when he heard this.

So, Qin Feng led 10,000 iron horsemen to chase after Gongsun Zan first.

The cavalry troops moved quickly and walked five miles. caught up with the tail of Gongsun Zhan's defeated army.

"Brother Bo Jue, leave a force behind!" Liu Bei saw the iron horse behind him coming wrapped in yellow sand, and he was terrified.

A thousand miles is not just an idiom, due to Qin Feng's timely pursuit, Gongsun Chan had no chance to regain the defeated infantry. He had 10,000 cavalry troops in his hands, which were the famous White Horse Righteous Servant troops in later generations. The combat effectiveness of this cavalry was very strong, and he was confident that he could fight with Qin Feng's cavalry.

But this army of soldiers and horses is his trump card, if he fights with Qin Feng now, when Yuan Shao catches up. That was when he was defeated.

So at this moment, Gongsun Chan was very hesitant to .......

Besides, although Qin Feng chased after him, he didn't let the troops get too close. It is not easy to create the trap army and the Hun army, and they are the trump card troops in his hands, so he also has similar considerations to Gongsun Zhan. Other than that. As much as possible, without losing the soldiers, driving Gongsun Chan back to Beiping is the last word, but Yuan Shao can't be cheapened for nothing.

"This is not a game for the next generation. If you lose your soldiers and horses, you can recruit again after receiving the money in the first quarter. So Qin Feng once again ordered the troops to slow down.

As a result, Qin Feng's troops only maintained a three-percent marching speed. Chase the defeated soldiers ahead.

Gongsun Zhan's defeated soldiers ran hard to save their lives.

So the two sides always kept a distance of one mile.

Gongsun Zhan's scattered defeated army stretched for miles. Therefore, the Baima Yi cavalry he led was still three or four miles away from the advance of Qin Feng's troops. Having this distance as a buffer allowed him to easily lay out the phalanx of cavalry charges.

When he looked back at the dust behind him, he was thinking, "If Qin Feng's troops get closer, I will set up a counterattack to charge." "After all, there are still 20,000 infantry, if they are all killed by Qin Feng, he will also fail.

As a result, the delicate battlefield situation was balanced by the reluctance of the commanders of both sides to engage easily.

Qin Feng did not chase after him with his head covered, in order to prevent Yuan Shao from catching up and killing, he ordered the troops to keep shouting, especially the Hun legion's whistle. This whistle became a talisman, urging Gongsun Zhan's defeated infantry to keep running forward.

As a result, Yuan Shao's troops could not catch up.

Gongsun Zhan saw that Qin Feng was chasing too closely, and he didn't dare to return to Linzhang Yingzhai, but looked at the Panhe River.

……

The Pan River is also relatively famous in the Three Kingdoms, and the name of the eighth chapter in the romance quotes the name of this river, called "Yuan Shao Panhe Battle Gongsun".

Because Gongsun Zhan first went to the bank of the Pan River, there were thousands of soldiers and horses left behind by him to respond, so he crossed the river smoothly.

When Qin Feng and Yuan Shao arrived, Gongsun Zhan had already assembled on the other side to prepare for battle.

Yuan Shao rode on the horse, looked at Gongsun Zhan's soldiers and horses on the other side and patted his legs and sighed: "It's a pity, it's a pity!" He was full of hope that he would destroy Gongsun Chan in this battle, but he still ran away by Zuihou.

The water in this section of the Pan River is gentle, but very deep.

Three days later

Yuan Shao collected a certain number of ships, so he came to Qin Feng to discuss, "Zijin, Gongsun Zhan is newly defeated, and the soldiers have no morale." It's time for us to kill him in one fell swoop, and now that I've found hundreds of boats and rafts, how about we cross the river? ”

Qin Feng frowned, after he came to the Eastern Han Dynasty, he fought dozens of battles, although he had accumulated a lot of combat experience, but because the foundation was not solid, there was still a gap compared with these cattle people of the Three Kingdoms. However, he also has his own advantages, that is, he has thousands of years of knowledge precipitation.

Although there will be no wars in later generations, there are many themes of wars in film and television. This beach-grabbing landing battle is no joke, and if you don't lose three or four adults, you won't be able to do it at all. Although there were no aircraft cannons in the Three Kingdoms period, the bow and crossbow couldn't stand it.

Especially if it's a small boat, it can't run fast. There will be many more rounds of being shot with a bow and arrow.

Qin Feng definitely didn't do anything about losing soldiers and horses in vain, he pondered for a while. said earnestly: "Brother Benchu, I wanted to fight with you. But as you can see, mine is a cavalry unit, and small boats are not easy to attack. It's better to go and grab a beachhead first, and then I'll lead the troops across the river!" ”

Yuan Shao looked at Qin Feng directly, and said in his heart, you are embarrassed to say that yours is a cavalry, a few days ago, your 10,000 cavalry was stunned and Gongsun Zhan's infantry didn't catch up! Do you think I'm an idiot!

In fact, Yuan Shao knew very well in his heart, knowing that Qin Feng was unwilling to fight with all his might, and was preserving his strength. He didn't have the idea of preserving his strength. So I have to pull Qin Feng with me every time.

Qin Feng saw Yuan Shao's crying face, so he smiled and said, "Brother Ben, it's not that my brother won't help you." You see, your boat has a maximum of two horses, and it is useless for me to go past two or three hundred people! ”

Yuan Shao scolded his mother in his heart when he heard this, and said that this Qin Zijin is the most fucked-up, he asked the infantry to transport the money and grain back to Shanggu County, leaving only the cavalry to help me, just so that there are many excuses not to help. Yuan Shao made up his mind about this. In the future, if anyone asks for his help, he will only send cavalry.

Qin Feng's prevarication is very reasonable, after all, two or three hundred small boats and rafts, it is useless to pull four or five hundred cavalry over.

Therefore, Yuan Shao could no longer fight with Qin Feng. So he sent 5,000 men to prepare for a beach landing battle.

5,000 people, divided into hundreds of rafts and boats. Shouting and killing, he rushed to the opposite bank.

Qin Feng and Yuan Shao were looking at the shore from afar, and Qin Feng was watching the battle. Yuan Shao was anxious.

On the other hand, Gongsun Zhan, who was on the other side of the river, dared to cross the river when he saw Yuan Shao in broad daylight. Immediately irritated. "Abominable Yuan Benchu, did he think I was really defeated!"

Liu Bei hurriedly came up with an idea, "Brother Bo Jue, Yuan Shao thought that our army was defeated and had no heart to fight, and this was an opportunity to weaken Yuan Shao's troops, so he shot him with a bow and arrow on the shore!" ”

So, Gongsun Chan lined up all 2,000 archers on the shore.

The range of the bow and arrow can cover almost half of the width of the river, and the arrows rained down, and a large number of Yuan Shaojun's soldiers fell with arrows.

Frustrated with this, he persuaded again: "Lord, no! In this way, the lives of soldiers can only be sacrificed in vain. When withdrawn from the long-term plan, or cross the river from the shallow water downstream. ”

In fact, Yuan Shao did not know that the battle of crossing the river was very difficult, and there was a reason why he still wanted to land on the beach.

One of the reasons is that it takes a detour to cross the river, not to mention a delay of two or three days, and Gongsun Chan is not a fool, how can he not know when his army moves. Wherever he goes, he will block it. This is also the reason why the two armies faced each other for dozens of days before.

The second reason is that Gongsun Chan has just been defeated and suffered heavy losses, so he has no heart to fight, so he can try it.

The third reason should be on Qin Feng, his 10,000 cavalry is too much to consume grain and grass, and he eats thousands of Yuan Shao's money and grain every day. Yuan Shao was about to be unable to raise it, so he really wanted to end the battle immediately.

The above three points made Yuan Shao take the risk of choosing to cross the river head-on.

However, Gongsun Zhan's bow and arrow troops were too sharp, and as soon as Yuan Shao's soldiers crossed the center of the river, they began to suffer a large number of casualties.

At this time, Xu You said: "Lord, what the frustrated prince said also makes some sense. It's better to stop for a while and wait until the evening when crossing the river. At that time, there was night protection, and Gongsun Zhan's archers could not see clearly, so they could ensure the safety of our soldiers in the process of crossing the river to the greatest extent. ”

Trial, Guo Tu and others echoed.

It is rare that when the opinions of his subordinates are so unified, Yuan Shao also withdrew his troops.

Because of Qin Feng by his side, Yuan Shao was very embarrassed after the failure of this attempt, but he had to face Qin Feng, so he found a reason for himself to lose, and said with a reluctant smile: "Zijin, Gongsun Chan has such an abundance ......of arrows, it's really unexpected." ”

Qin Feng wanted to say it very much, but he had already thought of it. After all, it was an ally, so he comforted: "Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, Gongsun Chan has already lost 20,000 people, and now the war is in our favor, don't worry, there will always be a chance." ”

No hurry!

Can Yuan Shao not be in a hurry, he has long been anxious, nearly a thousand times a day to raise soldiers for others, who can not be in a hurry!

"It's almost noon, let's let the soldiers bury the pot and cook." Qin Feng loves soldiers like sons, his soldiers and horses, three meals a day, and supper if he is on duty. You can't let your own soldiers go hungry, so he habitually looked at the sky and said.

Yuan Shao suddenly changed color when he heard this......

Because at this time in the Eastern Han Dynasty, people only ate two meals, one in the morning and one in the evening. Qin Feng wanted to eat three meals, and Yuan Shao couldn't help but cook if he asked him. This problem arises, Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses eat two meals, and when they see Qin Feng's soldiers eat three meals, how can they give up.

Therefore, Yuan Shao had no choice but to add food to his soldiers for fear of mutiny. Don't look at the fact that only one meal was added, but originally there were only two meals, which means that there was an extra 50% of the grain and grass consumption.

"Brother Benchu? Order to cook. Qin Feng saw that Yuan Shao was stunned and urged.

"Herald quartermaster, cook, cook!" Yuan Shao said viciously.

……

The night is already deep.

Because winter was approaching and it was by the river, there was a lot of fog all around.

"It's disgusting!" Yuan Shao scolded, because of this fog, it is not easy to enter the army, and it seems that he has to come to Japan.

When Qin Feng saw the fog, he suddenly remembered the very famous bridge section in the Three Kingdoms, and borrowed arrows from the grass boat. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this plan was feasible, and he could consume Gongsun Zhan's bow and arrows, after all, bows and arrows were a great weapon of destruction in ancient warfare, and if Gongsun Chan had no arrows, he would be able to avoid many casualties.

However, this Zhuge Liang's later brilliant plan, Qin Feng didn't tell Yuan Shao easily, so he wanted to sell it to Yuan Shao to get some benefits, so he pondered it.

Yuan Shao and Qin Feng were standing very close, and they saw Qin Feng silent, his eyes rolling around. Since he had been in contact with Qin Feng for a long time when he was in Luoyang, he knew that this was a prelude to the pit people. He was the only one here for Qin Feng to plan, and he was suddenly shocked, "Damn, Qin Zijin is going to vomit bad water again, I have to be careful!" ”
