Rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 347

Dang-

Amidst the loud noise, Gongsun Zan only felt a tremendous force bounce back, and the big lance came out, and he fell backwards, staggering almost to fall off the horse.

Relying on his many years of riding experience, Gongsun Zan clamped his legs firmly on the horse's belly, leaned back against the horse's back, barely stabilized his figure, and broke out in a cold sweat.

The blow just now seemed to hit the steel, and his arms were numb from the shock, his blood was surging, and he turned over suddenly. When he was about to grab the rein, he realized that the tiger's mouth was also shattered.

"Retreat, retreat quickly!" Gongsun Zan yelled, kicking his horse and galloping away.

"Take your life!" Guan Yu knocked Gongsun Zan's weapon flying with a single blow, reined in his horse, and seeing that he was about to flee, he urged the Chitu horse to turn around and chase after him.

The horse Gongsun Zan was riding was also a good BMW, but it was still inferior to the red rabbit. From the corner of his eye, he saw a red light approaching from behind. He was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder split, and he yelled: "Who will save me?"

Bai Ma Yi followed closely, more than ten people stopped Guan Yu, Guan Yu slashed furiously, and three of them rolled off the horse, but they were still blocked.

Gongsun Zan urged his horse to gallop in the direction of the Shang River, and before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw a general galloping towards him from the slanting stab, and shouted in a thunderous voice, "Gongsun Zan, how about a one-on-one fight?"

Gongsun Zan trembled all over. At this time, he knew that Zhang Zhiyong had no weapon in his hand, so he dared to turn around. In an emergency, he had a flash of inspiration, took the longbow from his back, endured the pain in his hand, and fired several arrows backwards.

Zhang Fei was so angry that he cursed. Seeing that Gongsun Zan had fled far away, he didn't pursue him. Instead, he ordered the soldiers to subdue the Qingzhou soldiers who were running around everywhere. The most urgent thing was to capture the prisoners and strengthen his army.

Bai Mayi fled from Baogong Sun Zan. At this time, Zhao Yun had already killed the men and horses who were intercepting him. Pegasus came after him again, and the bright silver spears danced with gorgeous spear flowers. They rushed forward to kill him. Hundreds of people came forward and could not resist, so they fled each other. Go, be killed and flee in all directions.

whoosh-

At this moment, an arrow flew towards Gongsun Zan. Hearing the whistling in his ears, Gongsun Zan subconsciously dodged sideways and shot in the shoulder blade.

For a general, the technical requirements for running and shooting are extremely high. It is not easy to charge on horseback and control weapons with both hands. However, it is even rarer to shoot a target while firing a bow and arrow on a galloping horse. .

Gongsun Zan boasted that he was good at riding and arching, and now that he saw Zhao Yun doing it, he was frightened out of his wits and heard arrows flying past his ears. He lowered his head and ran among the chaotic army.

"General, take off your helmet!" In the panic, the soldiers shouted.

Gongsun Zan suddenly realized that he and his entourage had the same white horse and white robe, but he was wearing a golden helmet, shining golden under the rising sun, which happened to be a target for arrows.

Hastily took off the helmet and threw it on the ground, leaned over the horse's back, and finally got mixed up with the white horse's followers, and the archers couldn't find the target.

Not long after rushing to the bank of the Shang River, Gongsun Zan lifted the reins violently, the horse neighed, and the four hooves leaped up. He also firmly held the horse's back, displaying his riding skills to the extreme.

The men and horses crossed the Shang River, and heard the constant shouts of killing behind them. Gongsun Zan didn't even look back, and led the remaining Baima Yicong to flee to Jinan.

When they reached Jishui, they breathed a sigh of relief. Looking back, they saw that there were only a thousand cavalry following them, half of the white horse Yicong had been damaged, almost everyone was injured, and they were all in a panic.

Gongsun Zan looked at the turbulent water of the river and gritted his teeth. Thinking of the fight just now and his narrow escape, he couldn't help but shudder.

The three of Guan, Zhang, and Zhao really lived up to their reputations. These few days he defeated Guan Yu, and he was a little complacent, thinking that he could fight Lu Bu, but now he knows it is a trick of arrogant soldiers, and secretly hates not listening to Guan Jing's words.

After the men and horses crossed the river, they took a rest on the bank. Gongsun Zan ordered people to dismantle all the pontoon bridges, and immediately ordered Jinan prefect Wang Jing to lead troops to set up a defense line along the Jishui River.

Guan Yu and others fought together in the Shanghe area for a while, but the Qingzhou soldiers couldn't resist, and even Gongsun Zan was defeated and fled, surrendering one after another, taking more than ten thousand prisoners.

Zhang Fei looked up to the sky and roared, laughing and said: "Today we captured two villages in a row and obtained countless weapons and food. I finally felt bad."

Zhao Yun's white robe was stained with blood, he urged his horse to come closer, cupped his fists and said, "Second brother, a prisoner was captured last night."

Guan Yu ordered someone to bring Wangmen back. After asking about the situation in Gongsun Zan's army, he knew that most of his troops had been lost and he was unable to go north. Wangmen sincerely surrendered and returned to Leling temporarily to wait for resettlement.

After counting the men and horses, Guan Yu ordered Zhou Cang to bring the wounded soldiers and captives back to the city, while the rest of the soldiers rested on the spot. A batch of grain and grass had just arrived in the camp, which was just for the former army.

Zhang Fei laughed loudly during the banquet and said, "This Gongsun Zan, no one can beat him when he comes, and no one can beat him when he goes, haha!"

Guan Yu was taken aback, then stroked his beard and smiled, "No one can really beat me!"

In the evening, Xu Huang and Chen Gong also rushed to the camp with their troops to visit the horses to report. Gongsun Zan demolished the Jishui pontoon bridge, set up defenses along the river, and discussed with everyone the strategy of advancing troops.

In this battle, Chen Gong's deployment was exquisite, and it was easier to defeat Gongsun Zan with arrogance than to take Bohai, and everyone admired him even more.

Chen Gongyan said: "Gongsun Zan is arrogant and willful, but if he is too strong, he will be easy to break. After this defeat, he must be afraid and dare not fight again, fearing that he will only defend his position in the future."

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "It doesn't matter whether he is attacking or defending, if Lao Zhang bumps into him next time, he will never let him go."

Guan Yu asked: "Ji River is wide, if there is no bridge to cross, it is really difficult to enter the army. It is better to prepare the ferry first and then make plans."

Chen Gong stroked his beard and said: "Gongsun Zan has no aggressive intentions in this move. He just sits and waits for death. Don't be too busy. I expect the general to do something in Ganling. If he takes Pingyuan and Gaotang counties, he can take them directly. Licheng, Gongsun Zan is just doing nothing."

Guan Yu asked: "How to deploy next?"

Chen Gong said: "First divide the troops to take over the counties in northern Ji, calm people's hearts, stabilize the rear, and divide an army to take Le'an. If he is trapped in Jinan, the rest of the world will be leaderless, Gongsun Zan has always been unpopular, and Qingzhou can be pacified just around the corner."

Guan Yu nodded slightly, and asked, "Who dares to please Le'an?"

"Leave it to me!" Zhang Fei stood up and said loudly, "I took Le'an, just in time to catch Gongsun Zan from the lower reaches of Ji River."

Guan Yu frowned and said, "Yide is violent. I don't feel relieved to lead the army alone, so I let Gongming go with you." Zhang Fei said dissatisfied: "Although I am in a hurry to fight, I also know the art of war. Mr. Lu has studied under his family, so why is the second elder brother prejudiced against me?"

Guan Yu thought of Zhang Fei's battle in Hedong and acted recklessly. He warned: "If you are going alone, you must not act bravely, let alone drink in the army. Can you do these two things?"

Zhang Fei patted his chest and said loudly: "Second brother, don't worry, I promise not to drink at all."

Guan Yu was still hesitating, but Chen Gong stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The three generals look rough, but they are actually bold and careful, with a lot of resourcefulness. There are no generals guarding Le'an, so there is no serious problem."

On the contrary, Zhang Fei was a little embarrassed, scratched his head and smiled: "It's still the military adviser who understands me!"

Guan Yu had no choice but to let Zhang Fei go to take Le'an. Xu Huang and Zhao Yun continued to lead troops to recover the counties and wipe out the remaining defeated troops.
