Yuan Shao led the defeated soldiers, as anxious as a frightened bird, as panicked as a fish that slipped through the net, and ran straight for several miles. Hearing the shouts of killing behind him getting farther away, the panic in his heart subsided a little. He turned back to look at the soldiers behind him, and intercepted them twice, leaving only a few. Half of them arrived, and everyone looked panic-stricken.
Yuan Shao felt sad. He sent troops to attack Zhang Liao's granary this time. He originally wanted to defeat Zhang Liao in one go, but instead of burning the grain and grass, he lost his troops. Zhao Rui was beheaded, and Gao Lan did not return for a long time. He must have been in trouble now. not enough……
Yuan Shao fled all the way south until dawn. A group of soldiers were tired and their horses were exhausted. They had just stopped to rest and bury pots to make rice. They heard a group of people and horses in front of them screaming, and several more soldiers and horses came out from the left and right. Yuan Shao looked at it, and a flash of despair flashed in his eyes. …
Yuan Shao couldn't help but look up to the sky and sighed, "Does heaven want to destroy me, Yuan Shao?"
General Chunyu Qiong admonished from the side: "My lord, don't be depressed. The soldiers can still fight to the death. We are willing to fight to the death to protect the lord and fight out, and return to Yuancheng to regroup."
"We are all willing to fight to the death," Zhu Ling, Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang and other generals said.
Yuan Shao was also a man with great ambitions. He glanced at the generals and said with emotion: "Okay, my lords, follow me and move forward desperately. How can I, Yuan Shao, die in the hands of Zhang Liao's son?" After that, he drew his sword and rushed towards him first. ahead.
At this time, those coming from the opposite side were Qingzhou soldiers and horses, with Tian Kai in the middle, Liu Bei and Kong Rong on the left and right. The three soldiers were ordered by General Wenyuan to guard the only way here, recharging their strength and waiting for Yuan Shao's defeated troops to arrive.
The meeting between enemies was particularly bright. Two of these three troops were under Gongsun Zan, and they were old rivals with Yuan Shao. They were defeated by Yuan Shao in the previous two battles, and were suppressed by Yuan Tan and Zang Hong's legions in Qingzhou. At this moment Catching Yuan Shao in a state of desolation, how could he not avenge such a good opportunity?
"Kill!" Seeing the intersection of the two armies, the Qingzhou army roared like thunder, and a black-faced general with a leopard head, ringed eyes and bristling beard was killed. He was none other than Zhang Fei from Yan. Entering the formation, a snake spear came out of the hole like a black dragon, as fast as lightning and flint. In the blink of an eye, several sergeants of Yuan were thrown away on the spot, and the sergeants around them were frightened.
After him, a red-faced man with a long beard followed closely, but he was seen wearing a green robe, his face was as cold as ice, and the Qinglong Yanyue knife in his hand also glowed with cold light. The cold blade opened and closed vertically and horizontally in Yuan Jun's formation, causing a commotion There was a bloody storm, the sword was so powerful and unstoppable.
After the second general, there is another person who is not willing to lag behind. He has the waist of a wasp and the arms of a monkey. He carries two short halberds on his back, and a carved bow hanging on the side of the saddle. The spear in his hand is as sharp as mercury falling on the ground. There is almost no enemy in his hand. , he is not inferior to Guan and Zhang, he is really a rare tiger general.
Liu Bei wanted to follow the two brothers to fight out, but when he saw the majesty of the spear-wielding general, he quickly turned his horse's head and turned to Kong Rong's side, asking: "Who is this? I don't want Wen Ju Gong (Kong Rong's character) ) has such a fierce general under his command." As he spoke, Liu Bei's eyes suddenly glowed with enthusiasm.
Kong Rong didn't notice the strange look in Liu Bei's eyes, and he laughed and said: "This person is Donglai Taishi Ciye. He is extremely brave and serves his mother with great filial piety. I admire his filial piety and called him several times. Some time ago, I served my mother." You have been ordered to help me and now you are working under my account.”
"Tai Shi Ci... is such a great general," Liu Bei murmured thoughtfully, looking at Tai Shi Ci's vigorous figure.
The three tiger generals here rushed into Yuan's army, especially Zhang Fei's excited tiger roars, as if he was crazy, and the place he passed was like a heavy armored vehicle running over him. Yuan's soldiers were either dead or retreating, and almost no one could when.
However, although the generals are brave, the sergeants are relatively inferior. The more than 5,000 soldiers who are still with Yuan Shao at this time are all veterans who have followed Yuan Shao for many years. They are loyal to Yuan Shao, and their equipment and combat power are the same as those of Liu Bei, Tian Kai and others. The combat power of the Qingzhou soldiers they brought was not at the same level at all.
Looking at the equipment of Yuan's soldiers, almost half of the more than 5,000 men were wearing iron armor, and everyone had a belt. On the other hand, looking at the Qingzhou soldiers and horses, even Guan Yu was wearing a green robe, so you can imagine the equipment of his soldiers and horses. .
Moreover, the dog jumped over the wall when it was anxious, and the rabbit bitten when it was anxious. At this moment, even Yuan Shao was rushing to kill them. These Jizhou elites were holding back their strength and rushed forward without fear of death. The two armies collided violently. , the Qingzhou soldiers were cut down on the battlefield like wheat. Although the three generals broke through several large gaps, when it came to the overall situation, it was Yuan Jun who overwhelmed the opponent in terms of momentum.
This is the military training policy that Wenyuan has always pursued. No matter how many soldiers there are, without strict training, strict military discipline, and sophisticated equipment, they are just a bunch of rabble, a bunch of farmers who put down their hoes and picked up weapons. You can fight some downwind battles where you can pick up bargains.
Some people may say that just like a group of sheep, as long as they are led by lions, they can defeat a group of lions led by sheep. But is this really the case? Yuan Shao fought in the south and in the north, and his subordinates Chunyu Qiong, Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, and Yan Rou, Even if Jiang Yiqu and his gang are not lions, they are at least a pack of wolves, especially under the encouragement of Yuan Shao's personal participation in the battle. This pack of wolves brought a bunch of howling cubs, and it was those lions that were able to show off their power in the beginning. After a while, it was inevitable to take a detour.
The situation on the battlefield was like this. Even though Yuan Shao's Jizhou elites lost nearly half of them in two rounds of volleys, they could not be bullied by anyone. Under their strong attack, the Qingzhou soldiers and horses were demoralized and their formation retreated continuously. Although Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Tai Shici were unstoppable, they were unable to defeat the four with their fists, and were forced back to their own side by Yuan Jun's tidal wave of attacks.
Fortunately, Yuan's army had gone through two rounds of hard fighting and was exhausted. Qingzhou's troops had been recuperating for a long time. The total number of the three groups of troops was more than 10,000. After paying a lot of casualties, Yuan's army gradually became unable to continue, and Qingzhou's troops were unable to fight. After being able to block the Yuan army's offensive, the balance of the battlefield slowly tilted towards the Qingzhou soldiers...
Yuan Shao loudly encouraged morale in the formation. The battle had lasted for an hour. At this time, his voice was hoarse. However, the situation was getting worse and worse. After achieving certain results, it became increasingly difficult for his side to advance. Nearly ten thousand Qingzhou soldiers and horses were surrounded by a dense mass of darkness. Although his soldiers were elite, they were still humans and not machines. Looking at the exhausted faces of the soldiers around him, one after another was helpless under the enemy's swords and guns. Having been forced to switch from charging to on-the-spot defense, Yuan Shao's heart gradually sank...
It was raining all night, and when he saw his own soldiers being surrounded and locked in a fierce battle, there was another cry of killing behind him. When Yuan Shao looked back, he saw that his pursuers were coming from the direction of Niutou Gou.
