Chapter 229
"Soldiers, hold your ground, don't let panic erode our will! Gongsun Zan is just the last ray of afterglow under the setting sun, the light will fade, there is no need to fear!"
Yuan Shao's voice penetrated the noisy battlefield, steady and powerful. He personally went into battle, shoulder to shoulder with the soldiers, interpreting the responsibility of a leader with his actions.
Now it's just a matter of time, he will never allow it to fail now.
Gongsun Zan, the fierce general who once galloped on the battlefield, is now like a trapped beast. The cavalry under his command is like a storm, attacking Yuan Shao's defense line again and again, and every collision is accompanied by blood and wailing. However, under this fierce offensive, there is also fatigue and despair that cannot be ignored.
Even his Baima Yicong has died in battle for more than 300 people.
Gongsun Zan looked around and saw that Yuan Shao's army was like an iron wall, slowly tightening the encirclement, and each line of defense revealed a firmness that could not be violated. An indescribable feeling of powerlessness surged in his heart, which was a kind of desolation of the hero's end, and also the helplessness of the fickleness of fate.
It was very easy for him to break out of the encirclement alone, but he could not rush out with more troops.
"My Lord! Yuan Shao's 20,000 infantrymen are about to arrive!"
Hearing this, Gongsun Zan's face suddenly darkened, as if the thickest black cloud in the sky covered all his hopes and fighting spirit.
"God has chosen me! This time, I am really at the end of the road!"
Just at this moment, Liu Bei galloped on his horse, dusty and exhausted, with a firm look in his eyes, as if he could penetrate the smoke and despair of the battlefield.
"Brother Bogui, our rear passage has been completely blocked. The three of us brothers will lead a cavalry to cover you. You should withdraw quickly!"
Gongsun Zan stared at Liu Bei, and his eyes that had experienced war were both grateful and reluctant and determined.
"Xuan De, you and I are brothers. Gongsun Zan will remember this friendship. You must be careful. If there is a chance, we will meet again!"
After that, Liu, Guan, and Zhang took a thousand cavalrymen and parted ways with Gongsun Zan's troops to help Gongsun Zan's large army.
"Report! General! The Bingzhou army flag appeared three miles northwest!"
Gongsun Zan was overjoyed.
"Did you see the flag clearly?"
"It's the Liu flag!"
When he heard it was the Liu flag, Gongsun Zan was overjoyed.
"Hahaha! Liu flag! There is only one person in the entire Bingzhou army who can use it. It must be Ziyi who led the army to support us!"
"Brothers! The reinforcements have arrived! Follow me and rush out!!!"
Gongsun Zan took the lead and led the passionate soldiers, like a tiger descending from the mountain, vowing to break through the siege and meet up with the reinforcements.
When Yuan Shao's eyes touched Liu Yao's cavalry, they suddenly froze, and his face changed rapidly, as if he was suddenly attacked by the winter wind, revealing a touch of panic and uneasiness that could not be concealed.
The cavalry that had forced him into a desperate situation countless times and left him with a shameful defeat under the city of Luoyang now appeared again, which was undoubtedly another whip on his tense nerves.
The deep friendship between Liu Yao and Gongsun Zan has long been a good story circulated in the court and the country of the Han Dynasty.
Gongsun Xu and Liu Yao are sworn brothers, and their friendship is stronger than gold. Now that Gongsun Zan is imprisoned, Liu Yao's appearance is undoubtedly a thunder before the storm, indicating that a storm of rescue is about to sweep in.
However, Yuan Shao is not a person who easily admits defeat. Although there are waves in his heart, his face quickly regains its coldness.
He knew that even if Liu Yao's elite cavalry was galloping, it would take some time to reach the battlefield. This period of time was their precious opportunity to counterattack.
At this time, Liu Yao, Zhao Yun and Huang Xu divided their troops into three groups and rushed to the battlefield at the fastest speed.
The scouts found that Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao were fighting not far ahead.
Liu Yao gave an order, like the roar of a dragon and a tiger, stirring among the 20,000 iron cavalry.
This team was extraordinary - the black armored cavalry, thousands of cavalry were sent out at the same time, and the armor shone with cold golden light in the sun, like the messenger of the god of death; and the new Sixth Army, a mixed group of Qiang and Han, half of them were wolves on the grassland, wild and unruly; half of them were tigers in the Central Plains, brave and good at fighting.
They had both the vastness and unruliness of the grassland and the calmness and tenacity of the Central Plains.
As Liu Yao's horn resounded through the sky, the 20,000 iron cavalry rushed forward like a tide, and the sound of horse hooves roared, shaking the earth as if it was shaking. The wind howled because of their galloping; the clouds were moved by their momentum.
"Gallop! Charge at full speed and crush all obstacles!"
Liu Yao's eyes flashed with a resolute light, and he instantly caught the interweaving war clouds and the sound of galloping horses in the distance.
Following his order, several elite flag bearers quickly drew out the flags and drew them in the air.Each of the passionate trajectories carries the will and strength of thousands of troops.
The signal was like lightning, instantly penetrating the noisy battlefield. The soldiers of each formation understood and the pace of their mounts suddenly accelerated, as if the earth was shaking under their feet. The momentum was like a rainbow and unstoppable.
Only two hundred meters away from Yuan Shao's army, the air seemed to be frozen, but the fighting spirit was boiling to the extreme at this moment. The cavalrymen tightened the reins, communicated with the horses under their seats, adjusted their breathing tacitly, and prepared for the decisive sprint.
"Whoever blocks me will die!!"
Liu Yao stood with his spear, and the Overlord Spear of Breaking the Formation shone with a cold light in the sunset. He was like a god of war, and took the lead in stepping into the steel torrent of the enemy. No one dared to confront the tip of the spear, and every strike was accompanied by a thunderous momentum.
"Bingzhou! Liu Ziyi is here! Who dares to go forward and die!!!"
Yuan Shao looked at the wolf-like Bingzhou army, and a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes.
"Just a little bit! I can completely wipe out Gongsun Zan! Alas!"
Yuan Shao looked into the distance and couldn't help sighing, with a trace of unwillingness and regret between his brows.
Seeing this, Feng Ji stepped forward quickly and said with consolation: "Lord, calm down. The war situation changes rapidly. Gongsun Zan's reinforcements suddenly arrived, not the fault of war. Although we failed to achieve complete success this time, our army has seriously injured Gongsun Zan's vitality. In the next few years, he may not be able to stir up trouble again and pose a threat to us."
Yuan Shao heard the words, his eyes gradually deepened, and after a moment, he slowly nodded, as if he was reconciling with his inner obsession: "Gongsun Zan, today's defeat is just as if you are not destined to die. Let's talk about heroes tomorrow!"
"Sound the horn to withdraw the troops!"
Ding ding ding!
As the clear and long golden sounds pierced the sky.
Ju Yi and Yan Liang decisively ordered their troops to retreat.
The Bingzhou army did not continue to pursue after seeing this, but stopped to clean up the battlefield.
Gongsun Zan also successfully met with Liu Yao.
