Yuan Shao's army was beaten by Guo Peng and fled in a panic. If there were no better tactics and tactics to win this time, Yuan Shao's rule in Jizhou would really end.

No matter whether you are a three-monarch in four generations or not, as long as you are killed, everything will be over.

So those people under Yuan Shao were also quite nervous, and none of them did their best to deal with this battle.

They placed their interests on Yuan Shao.

In their eyes, Gongsun Zan, a man from Liaodong, is a savage. In the eyes of the savages in Liaodong, can he get along with them, the scholarly genius?

If you cannot, good birds choose trees to live in, and good ministers choose masters to work. Not everyone is qualified to let advisers follow them.

Otherwise, the Million-Mercenary Army would have been able to win the world long ago.

In a sense, Gongsun Zan did not have the qualifications to compete with Yuan Shao for the world.

Because no one wants him.

But at some point, he was indeed qualified to compete with Yuan Shao for power.

And if Yuan Shao really dies, is killed by him, and Hebei is taken away by him, he will have the hope.

Therefore, for Gongsun Zan, this is also a battle that cannot be lost.

The battle between the two sides started when the autumn wind blew.

In the outpost battles, Yuan Shao lost all of them and was defeated by Gongsun Zan's advantageous cavalry with classic cavalry tactics, which made Yuan Shao's morale even more depressed and a deserter situation occurred.

Yuan Shao frowned and thought hard, and could not think of a way to fight against Gongsun Zan's superior cavalry.

His cavalry were all new recruits, with no combat experience, and had the experience of losing and running away.

Gongsun Zan's cavalry were all from the Yan Dynasty. They fought against nomadic cavalry for many years and were skilled in tactics and tactics. They were definitely not something that Yuan Shao's new recruits could fight against.

If there is no tactics and tactics in frontal combat, it will definitely be defeated soon.

But where is the solution?

The strategists worked together to set a tactic for Yuan Shao to defeat Gongsun Zan's infantry with infantry, so that his cavalry could not gain a foothold even if they defeated. However, this required a very powerful infantry plastic surgery to ensure that Yuan Shao could defeat Gongsun Zan's infantry.

Who will do this main role?

At this time, Queyi stood up.

Before being defeated by Guo Peng in a battle, Que Yi suffered a long time before he recovered from his spirits. This time, he wanted to use Gongsun Zan's blood to wash away the shame.

Through several previous outpost battles, Kuo Yi observed the tactics and tactics of the cavalry under Gongsun Zan and knew it in his mind.

He had lived in Liangzhou for a long time and was very good at dealing with light-haired archers. This time, Tuo Yi prepared a thousand powerful crossbows early and was preparing to bury the light cavalry team that Gongsun Zan relied for to rule.

Crossbows were shot weapons that were born in the early Warring States Period. They developed to the end of the Han Dynasty and were divided into two types: hand crossbows and strong crossbows. Hand crossbows can be operated by individual soldiers, but only the aim is simple, and the shooting strength is even worse than that of bows and arrows.

But the strong crossbow is different. You need to hold the bowstring with both hands, step on the suspender tied to the bow with your feet, kick the crossbow away, and use all your body's strength.

Therefore, the powerful crossbow has a greater shooting force than the hard bow used by the archer, which can reach twelve stones. The shooting track is low and straight, and does not require long training. Aim at the target and raise it a little bit, and the hit rate is very high.

Tuo Yi suggested to Yuan Shao that he would lead his elite troops to hold large shields and spears to block the enemy in front of him, so as not to let Gongsun Zan's cavalry succeed.

Then set up a thousand powerful crossbows behind and shoot Gongsun Zan's cavalry to defeat his cavalry's attack.

After that, Yuan Shao could order the entire army to attack forward, and he would definitely defeat Gongsun Zan's infantry in one go.

If his infantry fails, the cavalry will have no place to stand and will inevitably be defeated. Then Yuan Shao will definitely win this battle.

After drawing a big cake for Yuan Shao, it depends on whether Yuan Shao is willing to use it. If Yuan Shao is unwilling to use it, there is no need to talk about anything.

This is indeed very dangerous.

"If I lose this battle, I will have no place to stand in Jizhou. What other great things will I talk about?"

At the moment of crisis, Yuan Shao was also very bachelor and was desperate to take all his bets.

I don’t care! Do it!

Tuo Yi's tactics were approved for use, and Tuo Yi was overjoyed and immediately began to prepare for the decisive battle.

On September 16, Gongsun Zan led 30,000 troops across the border bridge, arranged troops to set up formations, placed elite cavalry on the left and right wings, and placed the main infantry in the middle.

Gongsun Zan's infantry was dominated by surrendered soldiers in Jizhou, and Gongsun Zan had no confidence in them.

Therefore, Gongsun Zan arranged his most elite and confident White Horse from the cavalry team at the forefront of the infantry phalanx, and led the general Yan Gang to take the lead in launching a charge against Yuan Shao's army.

The battle began, Gongsun Zan's cavalry began to move, and the cavalry on the left and right wings rushed towards the cavalry on the left and right wings of Yuan Shao, and the white horse Yicong in the middle rushed towards the central infantry formation of Yuan Shao's army.

Gongsun Zan's army implemented his tactics and tactics. As soon as the war started, the cavalry rushed and fought fiercely, and defeated Yuan Shao's cavalry in minutes until they collapsed.

Within a short time when the war started, Yuan Shao's cavalry collapsed, turned around and ran away, being beaten to cry for his parents, while Gongsun Zan's cavalry turned into a state of pursuit.

At the same time, when Gongsun Zan's white horse Yi came into contact with an opponent when he attacked Yuan Shao's infantry formation.

The range and penetration force of the riding bow are not as good as the step bow, so where is the opponent of a powerful crossbow?

As soon as he saw the cavalry entering the range of the powerful crossbow, Kuo Yi immediately ordered the powerful crossbow to shoot.

Gongsun Zan's white horse Yicong were all light cavalrymen, and they had never worn heavy armor. Even if they were penetrated, they could not withstand the impact of the twelve stones of the powerful crossbow. So they were covered by arrow rain in an instant and were killed in large numbers.

In a blink of an eye, Baima Yisong lost more than a thousand cavalry, and general Yan Gang was shot to death on the spot and died in battle.

The collapse of the most elite white horse Yicong made the newly surrendered infantry immediately shake the formation and was about to collapse. At this moment, Que Yi led his army to attack.

Tuo Yi rushed and attacked fiercely, and Yuan's infantry attacked, destroying Gongsun Zan's infantry. Gongsun Zan was stunned and was pulled by his personal guards across the border bridge to escape.

Later, Gongsun Zan tried to gather the defeated troops and fight again, but could not resist Tuo Yi's troops. Tuo Yi led his army to pursue Gongsun Zan to the camp, and cut off Gongsun Zan's banner and completely defeated Gongsun Zan.

This battle between the Border Bridge is of great significance to Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao thus got rid of the crisis, took advantage of this battle to regain prestige, gained the opportunity to stabilize his position, and marched with the trend, recaptured Qinghe Kingdom and Bohai County, and drove Gongsun Zan's power out of Jizhou.

Since then, Jizhou has been completely controlled by Yuan Shao.

However, in this battle, both sides suffered great losses and did not hurt their vitality. However, Yuan Shao successfully stopped Gongsun Zan's invasion in this battle, greatly frustrating Gongsun Zan's agility.

Gongsun Zan led the defeated troops to escape from Jizhou and returned to Youzhou Zhuo County, where he could not lie dormant here and licked his wounds.

After winning this battle, Yuan Shao decided to counterattack Gongsun Zan while recovering his lost territory and gave him some color.

However, I don’t know why, perhaps because I was afraid of Tuo Yi and was afraid that he would be too good to shock the master, so I did not let Tuo Yi lead the troops, but instead sent another general, Cui Juye, to take charge of the battle.

The battle is still going on, and no one knows what the outcome will be, but Gongsun Zan's vitality is not damaged and he is still insisting on it. The battle between him and Yuan Shao's Jizhou is not over yet.

It was early October when Guo Peng learned the news. Guo Peng was still a little surprised that Gongsun Zan had lost his battle. He thought that he had weakened Yuan Shao's strength. Gongsun Zan might win, and Yuan Shao might be taken away by Gongsun Zan.

As a result, Yuan Shao still survived.

Gongsun Zan is not good, he is just a talented person and cannot compete with Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao can eventually defeat Gongsun Zan, so...

Let’s do this first. You must let Gongsun Zan play the role he should play before leaving the stage. Gongsun Zan can still hold on for a while.

This period of time is enough to deal with Liu Dai and occupy Yanzhou by himself.
