Chapter 230 The Beginning of the Battle of Jieqiao
“Gongtai has gone to Bingzhou.” Xi Zhicai couldn’t help but sigh to Cheng Yu, although he had known that Chen Gong would apply for transfer during this period , but I didn’t expect that he would apply to be transferred to Bingzhou.
“Alas, even though I know that the change of the lord will make this possible happen, but after it actually happens, I will still feel that the world is constantly changing.”
Cheng Yu can’t help but feel sad. It was a pity that Chen Gong left. After all, Chen Gong was the earliest adviser to follow Cao Cao.
Although Xun Yu was nominally the first, Chen Gong had already interacted with Cao Cao when Cao Cao fled Luoyang.
The two people who originally came together because of mutual admiration gradually drifted apart because of Cao Cao's unilateral changes, which is embarrassing.
"What has my lord been busy with lately?" Xi Zhicai asked Cheng Yu curiously. He had been paying attention to the changes in Fenggao City recently, and he hadn't paid much attention to what changes had taken place in Cao Cao recently. This caused Chen Gong, who was already alienated from Cao Cao, to choose to leave directly.
"This...how should I put it?" Cheng Yu pondered for a while, "According to Yang Ziyu's description, he probably let himself go, right?"
Xi Zhicai was stunned, let go Can ego cause big changes in personality? Which in turn triggers the departure of his subordinate Zhongmu? What kind of science fiction reality is this?
"Huh?" Xi Zhi could only respond to Cheng Yu. Apart from this word, no other words could express his doubts and confusion.
"If it wasn't true, I wouldn't want to use such an adjective," Cheng Yu said with a somewhat embarrassed expression.
"But, after all this time, you should be able to realize what the lord's nature is like, right?" Cheng Yu asked Xi Zhicai what he thought of Cao Cao's nature.
"Suspicious, fond of taking risks, strong desire for control, high tolerance, and generous towards others (especially talents)..." Xi Zhicai counted them one by one with his fingers.
The corners of Cheng Yu's mouth twitched a few times. It should be said that he is worthy of Xi Zhicai. This summary is quite accurate.
But if it were Cheng Yu himself, he would probably be in a similar situation to Xi Zhicai, and he would even add ruthlessness to it. After all, Cheng Yu himself is such a person.
Xi Zhicai stopped after counting and looked at Cheng Yu with a slightly embarrassed expression on his face, as if what he said was not a good thing.
Xi Zhicai and Cheng Yu looked at each other and confirmed that their views on Cao Cao were relatively consistent.
“In this case, it’s not surprising that the Gongtai Club chose to leave.” Xi Zhicai sighed.
Although Xi Zhicai did not spend a long time with Chen Gong, relying on his own abilities, Xi Zhicai understood Chen Gong fairly well.
How could Chen Gong, who was straight and strong, not get into trouble when he met Cao Cao, who had so many negative entries?
It's good to be separated, at least we don't have to hate each other, both parties dislike each other, and then cause some big trouble.
I just don’t know if these two people will be reunited in the future.
——
On the Jieqiao battlefield, as Yuan Shao's letter of war was sent, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan began to integrate their armies to prepare for the decisive battle.
Gongsun Zan’s side is still the familiar white horse Yi Cong, Gongsun Zan’s most elite elite cavalry, the fastest cavalry regiment in the world.
"Today is the day when Yuan Benchu will die, hahaha——" Gongsun Zan looked up to the sky and laughed, "Then let's give him a decent way to die!"
[General Gongsun is repeating Lu Zhonglang's warning again. Forget it, I hope that guy Gan Xingba can catch up. 】
Taishici swallowed his saliva and shuddered unconsciously when he looked at the high-spirited Gongsun Zan, feeling that he was going to suffer this time.
"Ziyi, would you like to come and help in the battle?" Gongsun Zan invited Taishi Ci with a smile.
Gongsun Zan still admires Taishi Ci, a majestic Qingzhou man. The loyalty that Taishi Ci admires is also the life creed that Gongsun Zan admires.
Gongsun Zan never neglects those he admires, just like Liu Bei. Even though Liu Bei was a mat weaver and shoe seller, what does it matter?
In this war with Yuan Shao, in Gongsun Zan's eyes, Yuan Shao dared to fight with him in the field at Jieqiao. Isn't this looking for death?
Although Jieqiao is a place where cavalry formations cannot be deployed, can Yuan Shao's military strength be able to stop the speed of their white horse Yi Cong?
As long as the white horse Yi Cong is allowed to run, no matter how many obstacles are ahead, Gongsun Zan firmly believes that his white horse Yi Cong can overcome them.
In this case, in Gongsun Zan's eyes, giving a little credit to Taishi Ci, whom he admired, was not a big problem at all.
Looking at Gongsun Zan with a sincere face, Taishi Ci quickly saluted and said: "I have my wish, but I dare not invite you!"
Taishici smiled and agreed to Gongsun Zan's invitation, but he was muttering in his heart, [Forget it] , no matter whether he wins or loses, just do your own thing well. 】
After receiving Taishi Ci's letter, Gan Ning on the other side did not summon a fleet to guard the water trade route, but directly set off with three hundred elite sailors, and set off——< br>
After allocating military affairs, when Taishi Ci returned to the rear camp to reorganize the army, he saw the messenger sent by Gan Ning.
There is no other content in the letter, only one sentence: 'I have led my troops upstream along the Zhang River and will arrive within three days! ’
The brief news made Taishi Ci breathe a sigh of relief. With Gan Ning's amazing army, he could at least stab Yuan Shao hard.
"Send troops!" Following Gongsun Zan's order, continuous drum beats sounded, conveying Gongsun Zan's order.
Under Gongsun Zan's order, the soldiers and horses of the two battalions on his left and right came out in full force, forming two standard cavalry legions to follow Gongsun Zan's two wings.
As the White Horse Yicong gathered, the pure white clouds condensed from tens of thousands of White Horse Yicong directly obscured the blue sky.
After Gongsun Zan sent troops, Yuan Shao on the other side also stepped forward to the battle line at the suggestion of Shen Pei, allowing Ju Yi to once again strengthen his determination to let Yuan Shao win.
When Gongsun Zan led his troops to the battle location, Yuan Shao's army had already formed a formation here.
The leader is the heavily armored spearmen led by Ju Yi, also known as the Euphorbias. This is the heavy infantry that Gongsun Zan and the others have already seen.
Behind the Euphorbia warriors were thousands of warriors who carried machetes on their shoulders and held crossbows in their hands.
Gongsun Zan glanced over, and the first thing he noticed was the heavily armored spearmen standing at the front, the Euphorbias.
Gongsun Zan squinted his eyes, and then touched the special saber hanging on the white horse under his crotch. He didn't know if these special sabers sent by his junior brother could cut through the heavily armored spearman in front of him. Defensive armor.
The killing momentum spread from the two armies. Gongsun Zan did not go out to shout, but just waited for the opportunity.
In the current situation, it is not Yuan Shao who has the advantage, but Gongsun Zan.
If he wants to speak out, that despicable guy Yuan Shao should come out first, and then Gongsun Zan.
Gongsun Zan waited and waited, waiting for half a cup of tea, but Yuan Shao never came out. Yuan Shao's army on the opposite side remained motionless, making no sound at all, and the silent power was conveyed in this way. Looking at the cold eyes of Yuan Shao's former soldiers and the chilling military formation, they looked very strong.
But who is he, White Horse General Gongsun Zan.
He is leading the undefeated White Horse Yi Cong across the Northern Territory!
"Give me the order, and attack directly from the left and right wings. Flatten the formation in front of me and show them what a white-horse Yi Cong is!" Gongsun Zan gave the order to step into the formation with a cold face.
The flags were waving, the drums were beating, and the oath of "Wherever righteousness comes, life and death will follow, the sky can be a guide, and the white horse is a witness" resounded in the sky.
"Ziyi, I will leave the command of our infantry to you." Gongsun Zan bowed his hand to Taishi Ci.
Although Lu Zhi's letter did not make Gongsun Zan change his strategy, Lu Zhi was right about one thing. There is nothing wrong with being more prepared.
Especially when he is still shouldering the heavy responsibility of resisting the invasion of the barbarians in Northern Xinjiang. If he is defeated in this battle, the major princes in the Central Plains will not have time to intervene in the affairs of Northern Xinjiang at this time.
If someone else had said this to Gongsun Zan, Gongsun Zan would definitely let him try out the reputation of General White Horse in Northern Xinjiang.
However, this person is Lu Zhi, Gongsun Zan’s teacher. No matter what he says, Gongsun Zan has to stand and listen to it.
As for whether to listen to Lu Zhi's suggestion, that is Gongsun Zan's own business. After all, adults always have their own ideas, and the main focus is a read-back.
However, the military situation on the opposite side forced Gongsun Zan to pick up the teachings of his teacher and prepare for some backup.
Taishici was stunned for a moment after listening to Gongsun Zan’s instructions and Gongsun Zan’s sudden surrender of his hand. What was Gongsun Zan doing at this time?
Looking at Gongsun Zan’s slightly solemn expression, Taishi Ci seemed to understand something. He solemnly saluted Gongsun Zan and said, “I will live up to my trust!”
Looking at Taishi Ci’s extremely dignified expression. With a look on his face, Gongsun Zan smiled and said, "Ziyi, don't worry, this battle...please help me say hello to the teacher and junior brother."
After saying that, without waiting for Taishi Ci to respond, Gongsun Zan directly slapped Ma Hui. Into the turbulent waves of Baima Yicong.
[Military soul or three talents? ] Gongsun Zan thought about the letters Lu Zhi and Liu Bei had written to him, and he felt the longing in his heart that he could no longer hold back.
A wanton and arrogant face appeared on Gongsun Zan's face, and his fierce and cold eyes looked directly at the Euphorbia Soldiers and Xianden Dead Soldiers who were blocking the road of Baima Yicong.
[Although I don’t know how the teacher and junior fellow apprentices learned about your situation, but...you are not the only ones standing at this juncture——]
"The Righteousness Is the Righteousness" Come, life and death follow each other, the sky can tell, the white horse is the witness!" Gongsun Zan roared out the oath of obedience between himself and the white horse.
"Wherever righteousness comes, life and death follow it. The sky can tell you, and the white horse is the proof!" The soldiers of the white horse righteousness responded to Gongsun Zan's will.
"I will use you to build the ladder for me, White Horse Yi Cong, to climb to the top. I'm determined to achieve White Horse Yi Cong's ultimate form [Zero Hour Dodge]!" Gongsun Zan looked at the Euphorbia Warriors and Xian Deng in front of him who were still motionless. , the ferocious smile on his face became even more ferocious.
Taishici watched helplessly as Gongsun Zan merged into the white surge. He could only stretch out his hands, but could do nothing else.
【No, there are still some! ] Taishi Ci forced himself to calm down and thought about the task Gongsun Zan had just given him.
Taishici looked around, roughly estimated the number of Youzhou infantry that Gongsun Zan gave him, and then recalled what Yang Ji and Chen Xi told him about Gongsun Zan.
"White Horse Yi Cong!" Tai Shici said word by word.
Yes, the one who can keep Gongsun Zan calm must be Baima Yicong. As long as Baima Yicong is never surrounded and annihilated by Yuan Shao's army, then Gongsun Zan's will will not be corrupted.
Ju Yi glanced indifferently at Baima Yicong, who was rushing like waves, feeling extremely calm in his heart.
The proud Gongsun Zan did what he thought and chose the fighting method of cavalry on the formation.
What a pity, Baima Yicong, the invincible man in Northern Xinjiang, encountered a surprise specially prepared for them by Ju Yi.
Not to mention... Ju Yi looked back at Yuan Shao, and a stronger will emerged in his heart.
After Ju Yi turned around, he gave a gesture to the junior generals of the Euphorbia Warriors. Because Ju Yi was in the Euphorbia Warriors formation, Ju Yi's order was executed with almost zero delay.
The soldiers of the Euphorbia Warriors, led by their corps commander, slowly bent down and squatted on the ground relying on the large shield in front of them.
Even when the plain white cloud surged towards them, they did not waver in their will, but quietly waited for the order from Ju Yi.
While giving the order, Ju Yi also leaned behind the big shield and quietly looked at the surging white horse Yi Cong.
Getting closer and closer, one hundred and eighty steps, one hundred steps, seventy steps, fifty steps, the white horse's arrow has already fallen.
It's a pity that a weak arrow like the white horse can have any effect?
What's more, those standing in front of the White Horse Yi Cong are heavily armored spearmen, and the arrows of the White Horse Yi Cong will have no effect on them.
Relying on his powerful dynamic vision, Gongsun Zan saw the arrow he shot bounced off the Euphorbia warrior's armor, not even leaving a trace on the Euphorbia warrior's armor.
Gongsun Zan squinted his eyes, [Sure enough, special sabers are the future of White Horse. 】
Gongsun Zan hung the bow and arrow back on his horse, and then drew out the special saber sent by Gan Ning from Qingzhou.
After several rounds of volleys, the soldiers of the White Horse Yi Cong did not look at their gains, but hung their bows and arrows back on their horse pockets. After all, they were quite familiar with the power of their own arrows.
The soldiers of the White Horse Yi Cong pulled out the brand new special sabers they had just received, although the shapes of these sabers were somewhat different from those they usually used.
However, for them who have integrated various horse fighting skills into themselves, using the saber at high speed is nothing more than instinct.
With only thirty steps left, Ju Yi shouted loudly: "Kill!"
Then he took the lead and threw a short spear that had been prepared for a long time. , Ju Yi suddenly lifted the shield, then slammed it down hard, inserting the shield into the soil.
One end of the spear was placed behind the large shield, and the other end was stuck in the soil, supporting the slightly tilted large shield.
As Ju Yi's short spear was projected out, eight hundred short spears were also projected out by eight hundred Euphorbia warriors.
The soldiers of Euphorbia did not look at the casualties caused by the short spears they projected, but quickly made the same flipping movements as Ju Yi. At this time, they did not have the time to look at those temporarily useless things.
"Puff puff puff!" Eight hundred short guns caused at least three hundred white horse Yi Cong to fall from their horses, and were trampled under the feet of the subsequent horses.
