    Yuan Shao felt cold in his heart as he looked at the disgraced messenger.  The Flying Fox Road is really lost.  When the first messenger sent by Gao Lan reported to Yuan Shao that a large number of cavalry had appeared outside the city, Yuan Shao still found it funny and laughed at Gao Lan's nervousness.  With Song Feng's ability, how could he defeat the Wuhuan people, how could he break through Feihu Road so quickly, without even a hint of news coming out.  The guard general of Feihu Sai is Ju Hu, the son of Jushu. Although he is not a famous general who is brave and good at fighting, he is more than enough to guard Feihu Sai, a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is also impossible that he can't even send out the news before it falls.  Gao Lan must have been too nervous and made a misjudgment.  Yuan Shao thought so.  But when the second and third messengers arrived, Yuan Shao was no longer so sure.  If Gao Lan didn't have enough confidence, he wouldn't have sent so many messengers at once.  This is enough to show that the situation in Lunu City is very critical. Gao Lan did this because he was worried that the scout would be chased by the opponent.  Yuan Shao felt nervous at the thought that Feihu Road would be lost. What made him even more nervous was that if Song Feng could pass Feihu Road so quickly, he would have underestimated his opponent.  It is a very terrible thing to underestimate your opponent. Yuan Shao has been fighting for many years and knows this very well.  Yuan Shao did not dare to neglect and immediately called Guo Tu and others to discuss.  No matter how Song Feng did it, the fall of Feihu Road was almost certain.  The imperial army will soon arrive at Zhongshan and appear behind him. If there is any further delay, he will probably be surrounded in Katsuragi.  "The current plan is to return to Yixian before the enemy forces encircle us." Yuan Shao said in a deep voice.  As soon as the words came out, he suddenly thought of another question.  I used to think that the suspicious army on the right might be Liu Bei pretending to be Zhao Yun, but now it seems that may not be the case.  Feihu Road was lost, and Zhao Yun had probably entered Jizhou. He took a detour to the south and cut off the way back south. His intention was very obvious.  Naturally, he wanted to trap Yuan Shao to death in the northern part of Jizhou and prevent him from having any contact with Yecheng in the south.  When he thought that Zhao Yun was on his right wing, Yuan Shao subconsciously gave up on his way south. He had no confidence in breaking through Zhao Yun's interception in this situation.  Guo Tu saw that Yuan Shao looked ugly.  The corners of his eyes twitched from time to time, indicating that he was extremely nervous.  He exchanged glances with Xin Ping and coughed: "What my lord said is true. It's too dangerous to stay in Gecheng, so it's better to go back to Yixian first. Gongsun Zan only has 5,000 men and can be defeated with one blow, even if Liu Bei is behind him.  , we also have the opportunity to attack from inside and outside. It is better than fighting with cavalry that is several times larger than ours in the field."  Huan people. These Wuhuan people are cunning and untrustworthy. They were defeated by Song Feng, so they will naturally go to war with Song Feng. Those Wuhuan people under us" Yuan Shao shuddered, with a look of horror on his face.  .  The reason why he has an advantage over Gongsun Zan now is because he has more than 10,000 cavalry, of which nearly 8,000 are Wuhuan people.  If the Wuhuan people defected in battle.  Does he still have a chance to win?  "The news has not been confirmed yet, let's not be suspicious." Guo Tu interrupted Xin Ping's words and put forward his own suggestion: "We should use the impact of Wuhuan Jingqi to quickly break through Gongsun Zan's interception." Yuan Shao nodded repeatedly.  He understood what Guo Tu meant. What Xin Ping said was the truth. The Wuhuan people had become the biggest factor of instability. Stay?  Is it a hidden danger? Get rid of it?  It makes no sense. It might disturb the morale of the army and arouse the suspicion of the Wuhuan people.  While this news has not yet been confirmed, let the Wuhuan people take the vanguard and fight Gongsun Zan head-on. On the one hand, they can take advantage of the lethality of the Wuhuan Jingqi.  On the other hand, Gongsun Zan's sword can also be used to weaken the Wuhuan people and turn harm into benefit.  Yuan Shao no longer delayed, and immediately ordered the entire army to move forward urgently. At the same time, he ordered Wu Huan to be the vanguard, break through Gongsun Zan's interception, and open the way back to Yixian for the army.  "Whoever captures or kills Gongsun Zan will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins!" Facing several Wuhuan captains, Yuan Shao seriously issued a reward.  The eyes of those Wuhuan people suddenly lit up. Thousands of gold, this is a very rich fortune, so rich that it can make people crazy.  The Wuhuan people were so excited that they shouted, scrambled to break away from the army, and rushed towards Gongsun Zan's position.  Gongsun Zan, who had been prepared for a long time, received his revenge and immediately ordered to meet the enemy.  The war drums suddenly sounded, and all the soldiers entered their positions. Gongsun Zan stood in the center of the formation with his helmet on, looking at the smoke and dust rising in the distance, his heart was full of tragedy.  Of course he knew that his five thousand men were not enough to stop Yuan Shao, so he asked Liu Bei for help. But Liu Bei didn't help him, but it didn't mean that he couldn't do it on his own.  This is already the last battle. If he cannot defeat Yuan Shao this time, he will never have a chance to avenge his shame.  ¡°Get ready to fight¡ª¡ª¡± Gongsun Zan drew his sword and roared, the roar was shrill and decisive.  "Fight! Fight! Fight!"?Although these soldiers from Youyan knew that this time was a disaster, they still let out a heroic roar.  The roar was uniform and loud, earth-shattering.  The Wuhuan people in the distance have rushed out of the horizon, and the cold light on their swords can be faintly seen.  Gongsun Zan strode around the formation, looking coldly at the Wuhuan cavalry who were getting closer and closer. He thought of the three thousand white horse followers he once had under his command, and became even more angry.  If Yuan Shao hadn't severely damaged the White Horse Yi Cong he had accumulated for many years, how could he have defended the formation?  He will definitely use cavalry to attack Yuan Shao. That is his skill, not Yuan Shao's.  Come on, let me take revenge!  Gongsun Zan clenched his fists, shaking uncontrollably.  "The crossbowmen are ready -" Gongsun Xu, who was in the front line, roared loudly, staring at the Wuhuan cavalry who were getting closer and closer. There was a range mark he had made. As long as the Wuhuan cavalry entered the shooting range, he would  Launch with all your might.  Yuan Shao's hesitation in the past two days gave them precious time. Knowing that he was not strong enough to defend Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan adopted the tactic of positional warfare. He ordered people to dig a long and narrow passage between the swamp and the mountains.  Dozens of long horse-repelling trenches were lined with horse-repelling troops and spear formations were arranged.  It was midsummer, and the water in the swamp was very strong. Gongsun Zan diverted the water into the trenches, so that these wide and deep trenches not only blocked the opponent's cavalry, but also prevented the frontline soldiers from trying to escape.  Without the support of the rear formation, they could only drown in the trench or be shot to death by the arrow array behind them.  The Wuhuan people didn't know what was going on and ran wildly. They looked at Gongsun Zan's battle flag and seemed to see a golden mountain.  ¡°Charge¡ª¡ª¡± The sound of the horn echoed in the hot air, inspiring the first Wuhuan knight.  They let go of the reins and accelerated again.  The war horses panted rapidly, their hooves were almost in the air, sweat seeped out of their skin and soaked their fur.  The sound of hooves rumbled, like thunder in the sky, approaching quickly.  "Launch!" Gongsun Xu shouted and waved the colorful flag in his hand downwards vigorously.  "Buzz!" With a muffled sound, dozens of ballistas roared, hundreds of arrows tore through the twisting air, and rushed forward.  These were sharp weapons brought from Mi Zhu. There were only a hundred weapons in total, and each of Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan had fifty weapons.  In order to dampen the morale of the Wuhuan people, Gongsun Zan arranged thirty of them at the forefront.  Gongsun Zan had seen the test firing of these ballistas and was very satisfied at the time.  However, at that time it was only a test firing, but now it was a salvo of thirty aircraft, and the momentum was completely different.  Although Gongsun Zan also thought of the power of the volley of ballistae, he still felt an indescribable joy when he saw the shock caused by the continuous roar of these ballistae.  The arrows fired by the ballista were dense and rapid, striking the Wuhuan people at the front in a covering manner.  In an instant, dozens of war horses were hit by arrows and turned into hedgehogs. They fell to the ground screaming, turning the knights on horseback into gourds rolling on the ground.  Although the knights raised their leather shields, they obviously did not expect that the other party would attack their horses, and the attack would be so ruthless.  Because of the shooting speed and density, war horses will not be selected as targets for general arrow array attacks.  The body of the war horse is huge. As long as it is not hit in the vital points, two or three arrows will not affect the battle at all.  But the advantage of the ballista is that it is fast and dense enough, so it is perfect for dealing with war horses.  The first burst of fire knocked down the war horse rushing at the front, as if a layer of skin had been peeled off in the thick formation.  Those Wuhuan people who were rushing to the front line had no time to react and fell off their horses. Some were hit by arrows, some were suppressed by the horses, and some were trampled by the hoofs of the horses that rushed after them.  They rolled, screamed loudly, and tried their best to stand up and escape.  "Buzz!" The ballista fired again.  "Swish, swish, swish!" The arrows flew rapidly, making a roaring sound.  "Push!" The long arrow entered the body, blood spurted out, and screams came one after another.  The Wuhuan people's charging formation stalled. The galloping horses could not stop their pace and were tripped to the ground. Their huge bodies were scattered in front of the formation. The fallen horses kicked hard with their four hooves, trying to stand up again and continue fighting.  , but their efforts only caused more companions to fall to the ground.  The Wuhuan people who fell to the ground were in such a hurry that they didn't care about protection at all.  Gongsun Xu was overjoyed and ordered the archers to fire.  The archers looked at the Wuhuan people who were on their backs, and the tension in their hearts was relieved a lot. They raised their bows and arrows and shot revenge arrows into the sky.  The Wuhuan people complained incessantly, and those in front blew the alarm horn to alert their companions behind, but the horses were already running at full speed and could not stop in their eagerness.  Under the powerful crossbow attack of the Han army, the Wuhuan people suffered heavy losses. Only a few lucky ones escaped the arrow array and rushed to the Juma array.  They roared angrily, urged their horses to leap toward the horse-rejecting formation, raised their swords, and slashed with all their strength.    "Kill!" The Han soldiers in the anti-horse formation were not afraid. They raised their spears and stabbed the jumping horses fiercely.  The war horse was stabbed by a spear and fell to the ground, causing the horse to shake.  However, half of these resisting horses are buried deep in the ground. Even if the war horses charge with all their strength, it will be difficult to shake them for a while.  The Han soldiers relied on the cover of Juma to kill the fallen knight.  Above their heads, the flying arrows kept screaming and pounced into the chaotic formation of the Wuhuan people.  There were shouts of killing everywhere.  Please search for Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
