With the fierce beating of drums, Cao Cao's army and Yuan Shao's army began to fight together.
At first, Yuan Shao wanted to be the vanguard, but Cao Cao did not agree. Since they are allies, they should trust each other.
However, Cao Cao left 50,000 troops to defend his position to prevent cavalry attacks.
At this moment, the Youzhou Army had to fight one against two on the battlefield.
Since the two parties have just come into contact, this disadvantage is not particularly obvious.
With the activation of the sharp knife, the battle situation began to develop in a direction favorable to Cao and Yuan's allies.
"kill!"
Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan were both talented killers, peerless generals who emerged from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood. There were many foreign races in Gongsun Zan¡¯s army, but they were no match.
The aliens only rely on their ferocity and are far inferior in terms of skills.
Not to be outdone, Yan Liangwen Chou cut into the Youzhou army with four sharp knives.
Gongsun Zan was suddenly at a disadvantage!
At the critical moment, the sound of horse hooves came from the horizon.
Getting closer.
The timing of the ambush's appearance was very good. The two sides had just started fighting, when they were least alert.
If it reaches the later stage of the battle, its effect will become smaller.
The armies of both sides are entangled together. While a charge will kill the enemy, it will also accidentally injure one's own people.
"Sure enough, Gongsun Zan has an ambush." ??Cao Cao laughed.
Because everything was expected, the direction of Gongsun Zan's surprise attack was Cao Cao's army.
The Allies deployed 50,000 cavalry there, which at least could stabilize the situation.
However, Cao Cao's illusions were shattered in the next second.
As soon as Youzhou Iron Cavalry charged, the 50,000 cavalry he deployed dispersed.
Cao Cao could see clearly from the high platform.
"what happened?"
Yuan Shao was also extremely surprised. How could Gongsun Zan¡¯s cavalry be so elite?
Gongsun Zan¡¯s cavalry broke through the allied cavalry, and then penetrated into the flank of Cao Cao¡¯s army.
The army is in panic!
"Damn it!" Cao Cao cursed.
"Mengde, send your reserve troops to form a defensive line to intercept. You must not let the cavalry go back and forth twice." Yuan Shao said.
The running speed of Youzhou Cavalry is very slow!
Cao Cao listened carefully and finally came to a conclusion: "It's heavy cavalry. How could the temporarily established defense line be able to withstand it?" Then he asked, "At first, Gongsun Zan had such a heavy cavalry, why didn't you advance it in advance? explain?"
"I" Yuan Shao couldn't say anything.
Since Gongsun Zan captured Youzhou, there have been fewer battles between the two, and Yuan Shao did not pay enough attention to Gongsun Zan.
Furthermore, Gongsun Zan was able to endure and hide the heavy cavalry tightly.
If Cao Cao had been more prepared, Cao Cao wouldn't be so embarrassed.
"Let the tiger and leopard cavalry bite this heavy cavalry. No matter what method is used, don't let them run around in front of my eyes." Cao Cao said.
Cao Chun was speechless after receiving the order. The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were elites, but they had to think carefully against heavy cavalry.
Besides fighting to the death, what else can be done?
"Ju Yi, lead the troops to go to support." Yuan Shao said.
"The last general takes command!" Ju Yidao said.
Cao Cao saw Yuan Shao's performance and finally let him go. After all, everyone is on the same camp now.
Although the heavy cavalry caused great harm to Cao Cao's army, it was not fatal yet.
After all, a battle involving hundreds of thousands of troops and a defeat on a local battlefield cannot affect the overall situation.
With the bite of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the Xianden Army, the number of heavy cavalry continued to decrease.
Gongsun Zan underestimated Cao Cao¡¯s determination!
He believes that Cao Cao has already captured Bingzhou, and whether he can help Yuan Shao or not depends on his mood.
Therefore, he deployed his cavalry to raid Cao Cao's army and brought a huge blow to Cao Cao's army.??hurt.
With such a loss, it stands to reason that Cao Cao would be very heartbroken and withdraw his troops.
It is true that Cao Cao was heartbroken, but he did not withdraw his troops. Instead, he became more courageous as he fought!
This point surprised Gongsun Zan.
Now, his killer heavy cavalry is stuck in the quagmire.
Less than half of the 30,000 heavy cavalry remain.
The remaining 50,000 fine cavalry were restrained by the Allied cavalry, and the outcome was determined by each other.
The heavy cavalry is Gongsun Zan¡¯s reliance. However, this reliance is almost gone.
Not only that, because Gongsun Zan led his army to attack the Allied forces, he had already been discovered.
The four generals of the Allied Forces are coming to encircle them. If they don't leave, it will be too late.
Gongsun Zan is very aggrieved!
Even if he killed a dozen enemies with his own hands, it was of no avail.
The only people who could see him perform were a few hundred people following him.
In such a war, there is no encouragement.
Gongsun Zan overestimated his commanding power!
In previous battles, Gongsun Zan led thousands of white-horse followers and was always able to surprise and achieve great successes. Coupled with the fact that he takes the lead, morale can easily soar.
But he has never led an army of 200,000!
This is a fatal shortcoming.
Gongsun Zan is a handsome man, but Liu Ke, Cao Cao and others are even more handsome.
"Lord, let's retreat! The enemy cavalry is contained, and we can preserve our strength!" Gongsun continued.
Preserve your strength?
In Gongsun Zan¡¯s opinion, this sentence is just a joke. Is he going to come as promised and leave in despair?
"Where is Tian Kai? Where is Shan Jing?" Gongsun Zan shouted.
Unfortunately, no one responded.
"My lord, be careful!" Gongsun Xu suddenly stepped forward and took a stab for Gongsun Zan, causing blood to drip from his body.
"Protect the Lord!"
Countless allied soldiers surrounded him, and Gongsun Zan realized that he was just a mortal who would be injured and bleed.
"Call the gold and withdraw the troops!" Gongsun Zan ordered.
"Wait a minute, escort the lord to retreat first!" Gongsun Xu said weakly.
So, hundreds of people began to protect Gongsun Zan and retreat, gathering thousands of people on the way.
After retreating behind the army, they began to withdraw their troops.
There were people behind to block Gongsun Zan, but there were no pursuers behind Gongsun Zan.
The Youzhou Army burst out with unprecedented morale, fighting with the entangled enemy in front of them, and immediately began to escape after getting rid of it.
"Youzhou is a bitter cold place, and people's physical fitness is generally relatively high. This is also the reason why Youzhou's army is elite.
If Gongsun Zan had not called for gold and retreated his troops, I am afraid they could have persisted for half an hour before they began to collapse.
Although the results are the same.
The Allies were in hot pursuit, but with little success.
Gongsun Zan returned to his territory, gathered the remaining soldiers, and gained 100,000 soldiers.
He did not dare to stay and went all the way north, entering Youbeiping County.
This means that Gongsun Zan gave up most of his territory and began to stick to one place.
The heavy cavalry did not achieve the expected results, and Gongsun Zan knew that he was unable to recover. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
