    [Thanks to book friends "Lao Zhou Lao Zhou", "Dream Cross Country", and "Barbarossa" for the rewards!  ¡¿

    Hearing that a large group of cavalry was coming, everyone was a little panicked, especially Feng Ji, who had previously ordered "the cavalry to unsaddle". He was trembling with fear - if Yuan Shao died here, then he would be a big sinner.  !  My ambition and bright future were all in vain!

    Listening to Tian Feng¡¯s scolding, Feng Ji, who was always sharp-tongued, had no idea of ??contradicting him, but broke out in a cold sweat.

    At this time, Cao Ang shouted loudly: "Put away all the flags and unfurl my battle flag with the word 'Cao'. Everyone assemble immediately and stand firm to wait for reinforcements!"

    At this time, a backbone was most needed. Whether it was Cao Ang's nearly a hundred cavalry or Yuan Shao's more than two hundred euphorbia soldiers, they all subconsciously followed Cao Ang's orders, rolled up various flags, and headed towards the houses in the center of the village.  Get closer.

    Cao Ang whispered to the guards: "Hurry and prepare your horses!"

    He took a step closer to Yuan Shao and whispered: "Uncle, my nephew is holding on here to attract the enemy's attention. Please also ask uncle to mount his horse quickly and evacuate as soon as possible!"

    Yuan Shao couldn't help but feel a little moved, but he still hesitated. He whispered: "It will be too dangerous for you to stay here. Besides, if I escape first, how can I see Meng De again in the future?!"

    Although Yuan Shao had his shortcomings, he still had persistence in his heart.  Moved by Cao Ang, he ignored Feng Ji's look and said in a deep voice: "Zixiu, uncle, I will hold on here. You take uncle's tiger charm and go forward to mobilize troops and ask Qu Yi and others to come quickly for reinforcements!"

    Before Cao Ang could reply, he sighed and lowered his head in disappointment.  And Tian Feng also urged in a hurry: "Absolutely not! My lord, now is the most critical time ahead. If we rashly mobilize our troops to retreat, once we are chased by Gongsun Zan, our army will be completely defeated! Even then, even if we retreat, our army will be completely defeated."  Rescue us and the situation will be over!

    ¡°In my opinion, although this village is small, these courtyard walls can provide us with protection.  As long as we calm down and stick to it, we will be able to persist until the main force wins.  By that time, the enemy cavalry will definitely flee for their lives first and will not fight to the death with us. We will definitely be able to survive. I hope my lord will learn from this!  "

    It has to be said that what Tian Feng said makes sense, but in this way, Yuan Shao fell into a crisis and took great risks.  As a counselor, it is important to have a view of the overall situation, but not caring about the life or death of the lord, it also made Yuan Shao feel cold and couldn't help but sigh.

    Fengji was still waiting for advice, but Cao Ang pointed to the distance and sighed, whispering: "Uncle, gentlemen, the enemy has surrounded us and we can't get out!"

    At this desperate situation, Yuan Shao regained some courage. He smiled and said: "In that case, we, uncle and nephew, will work together to kill the enemy, and let Gongsun Zan's cavalry see our majesty!"

    Not far away, a scout reported to Zhao Yun: "General Qi, hundreds of enemy troops were found in the village ahead. It seems that there are about three to four hundred people."

    Zhao Yun nodded slightly and asked doubtfully: "There is no village in front of this place, no store in the back, and there are no enemy grain depots nearby. How can there be hundreds of people stationed here? What kind of flags are the enemy troops flying? Can they be identified?"

    The scout shook his head, "My subordinates only saw a battle flag with the word 'Cao' planted in the courtyard in the center of the village, but they didn't notice the rest."

    "Cao's battle flag?" Zhao Yun repeated, scratched his head, and asked the scout: "Are there any generals named Cao in Yuan Shao's army? Why don't I remember him?"

    Zhao Yun has not been reused since he joined the army before. He was just a small school with a low reputation. He was not informed by his superiors and had no understanding of the situation in Yuan Shao's army.

    On the contrary, the scout who had often been exposed to the situation in Yuan Shao's army quickly said: "Maybe it's Cao Ang. I heard that he led hundreds of cavalry to reinforce Yuan Shao. By the way, I saw the village from a distance earlier.  Some of the war horses are probably Cao's army. But the battlefield is clearly far away, so why is Cao Ang leading his army to huddle here? It's really strange!"

    Zhao Yun sneered: "It must be that Cao Ang, who came from afar, wanted to preserve his strength and deliberately did not go to the battlefield and wasted his time here!"

    The scout nodded repeatedly. Although Cao Ang had a good reputation, why did he contradict his general for him?  !  Since the officer said that Cao Ang was timid, he agreed that people who stand alone generally don't live long.

    For Zhao Yun, annihilating Cao's army is far from affecting the overall situation. Only by annihilating Yuan Shao's baggage troops can he complete his mission.

    So Zhao Yun said loudly: "Gongsun Hu, I will leave you two battalions (about a thousand people), and wait for you to destroy Cao's army, and then catch up immediately. The remaining soldiers, follow me and continue southward! My lord personally went into danger to fight for us.  Created and severely defeated Yuan Shao's armyWe must not miss this opportunity. We must seize the opportunity and eliminate Yuan Shao's grain and grass troops!  "

    After hearing his order, the deputy general Gongsun Hu quickly agreed and ordered his troops to surround the small village.  Zhao Yun nodded lightly, urged his horses, and led his army south.

    Seeing half of the enemy troops heading south, Yuan Shao and others couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, but then they frowned again.  In order to defeat Gongsun Zan's troops this time, Yuan Shao has sent all his main troops to the front line. There are only wounded soldiers and heavy baggage troops in the rear, and it is impossible to withstand the attack of the opponent's cavalry.  I didn't expect that Gongsun Zan would be so decisive, and send the cavalry troops south to attack him regardless of the safety of his own camp. Everyone really underestimated him in the past!

    Gongsun Hu is a distant relative of Gongsun Zan. He has good strength and has been appointed as the tooth general early.  It's just that he was unlucky, and a pretty boy (Zhao Yun) suddenly rushed out and fell on his head.  Now is a good opportunity to prove my strength and show that pretty boy that when it comes to fighting, I, Gongsun Hu, is the boss!

    He shouted loudly: "We have two battalions of soldiers and horses. This time we will attack from two directions to see which battalion is a hero and which battalion is a coward!"

    Being so excited by him, the two battalions started to compare and were eager to give it a try.

    Gongsun Hu smiled slightly and rode to the side with more than fifty guards, obviously intending to watch from the sidelines.

    The two battalions of cavalry roared, each chose a direction and rushed towards the village.

    Cao Ang looked at the other party's actions and couldn't help but frown slightly.  The opponent's cavalry shouldn't be stupid, so why would they charge directly?  The streets in the village are so narrow, and there are several walls blocking them. When they rush forward, they will definitely be blocked outside the walls, and it will be a one-sided massacre!  The other party can't be so stupid!

    Looking at the short bows carried by the cavalry behind them, Cao Ang's heart moved and he shouted loudly: "Pay attention to concealment and beware of bows and arrows!"

    Hearing his shout, more than a hundred cavalry under Cao Ang's command immediately took the order, all huddled under the courtyard wall, and raised their arm shields.

    However, the more than 200 Euphorbia soldiers under Yuan Shao's command did not take Cao Ang's order seriously. Except for a few people who responded to Cao Ang's order, most of them stayed where they were.

    Seeing the enemy cavalry charging closer and closer, the halberd warriors raised their halberds and prepared for a collision.

    However, the two battalions of cavalry under Gongsun Hu turned their horses around in unison, brushed against the edge of the village, and rushed over.  While driving their horses diagonally, the cavalrymen took off their short bows from their backs and shot at the Euphorbia warriors!

    The unsuspecting Euphorbia warriors were suddenly exposed to the rain of arrows. They saw the arrow feathers easily penetrated the cloaks of the Euphorbia warriors and kept hitting the armor of these Euphorbia warriors, making bursts of frightening sounds.  A gut-wrenching crash.

    Although the Euphorbia warriors under Yuan Shao's command are all wearing heavy armor, the armor they wear is not airtight plate armor. Facing the endless shooting of bows and arrows, their protection is very limited.

    From time to time, someone was shot in the vital part of the throat and died.  From time to time, someone could not bear the force and fell into the rain of arrows, exposing their legs and back with poor protection. Then, they were shot into hedgehogs!

    However, even though they paid a heavy price, the Euphorbia warriors who had not been ordered to retreat still stood firm and did not evacuate without permission, let alone flee in confusion!

    Facing the bright halberd tip, Gongsun Hu's cavalry, who thought they could pick a soft persimmon, had to retreat hastily, gave up the assault, and just kept shooting with bows and arrows.

    Yuan Shao smiled miserably: "These are my elite Yuan Benchu! How powerful, Euphorbia Warriors!"

    As he spoke, Yuan Shao stood up from behind the low wall, took a crossbow from the guard beside him, and moved the trigger toward the cavalry outside.  Not far away, a cavalryman who was bending his bow to shoot screamed and fell off his horse!

    Led by Yuan Shao, the soldiers rushed to the crossbow one after another, cocked it hard, and shot the arrows.  Although there were only about twenty crossbows, they were so stunned that they beat the cavalry outside the village back again and again and did not dare to step forward!

    Gongsun Hu, who was watching the battle from a distance, couldn't help but frown, pointed at Yuan Shao's position, and shouted loudly: "Send the order, attack here with all your strength!"

    After receiving his order, the cavalry immediately concentrated their bows and arrows and fired coveringly at Yuan Shao's side!

    The arrows fell like rain, without any omissions.  I heard a popping sound on Yuan Shao's breastplate, and several long arrows were shooting at his chest!  Fortunately, the armor on Yuan Shao's body is all carefully crafted and high-quality goods, otherwise, Yuan Shao would be in danger!

    Even so, Yuan Shao was in an extremely dangerous situation in the face of the barrage of bows and arrows.

    Cao Ang couldn't help but frown and shouted loudly: "Left and left, follow me on your horse and have a counterattack"?!  "

    Hearing his order, more than thirty cavalrymen nearby immediately jumped on their horses and rushed out with Cao Ang.

    Seeing Cao Jun¡¯s cavalry rushing out from the opposite side, Gongsun Hu¡¯s cavalry immediately divided into two groups. One group continued to shoot at Yuan Shao¡¯s side, while the other group hurriedly rode up to meet him.

    Taking advantage of the moment when the firepower of the opponent's archers was reduced, Tian Feng also stood up from behind the low wall, grabbed Yuan Shao, and said quickly: "My lord is in danger, follow me behind the wall!"

    However, Yuan Shao pushed Tian Feng behind the wall and shouted loudly: "A man would rather rush forward and die in battle, but how can he survive by hiding behind the wall?! What's more, even a child like Zixiu dares to move forward bravely. I, Yuan Benchu,  Don¡¯t you have the courage?! Euphorbia, charge with me!¡±
