The Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms: The Evil God Arrives

Chapter 230 The Battle of Jie Bridge Begins

"Gongtai went 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, he did not expect that he would apply to be transferred to Bingzhou.

"Alas, although I know that the change in the lord will make this possible, but after it really happens, I still feel that the world is unpredictable."

Cheng Yu couldn't help but feel sorry for Chen Gong's departure. After all, Chen Gong was one of Cao Cao's earliest counselors.

Although Xun Yu was nominally the first one, Chen Gong had already had contact with Cao Cao when Cao Cao fled to Luoyang.

It is really sad that the two people who originally came together because of mutual admiration gradually drifted apart because of Cao Cao's unilateral change.

"My lord, what have you been busy with recently?" Xi Zhicai asked Cheng Yu curiously. He had been paying attention to the changes in Fenggao City recently and had not paid much attention to what changes had happened to Cao Cao recently. This actually caused Chen Gong, who had already felt alienated from Cao Cao, to choose to leave directly.

"How should I put this?" Cheng Yu pondered for a moment. "According to Yang Ziyu's description, it seems that he let himself go, right?"

Xi Zhicai was stunned. Letting go of himself would lead to a big change in personality? And then cause his subordinates to leave? What kind of science fiction reality is this?

"Ah?" Xi Zhicai could only respond to Cheng Yu. Apart from this word, there were no other words that could express his doubt and confusion.

"If it's not true, I don't want to use such adjectives," Cheng Yu said with a somewhat embarrassed look on his face.

"But, after so long, you should be able to figure out what your lord's true nature is like, right?" Cheng Yu asked Xi Zhicai about his opinion on Cao Cao's nature.

"Suspicious, likes to take risks, has a strong desire for control, has a high tolerance, is generous and magnanimous to others (especially talented people)..." Xi Zhicai counted them one by one on his fingers.

The corners of Cheng Yu's mouth twitched a few times. Should I say that he is worthy of being called Xi Zhicai? This summary is quite accurate.

However, if it were Cheng Yu himself, his situation would probably be similar to Xi Zhicai's. He would even add ruthlessness to his character, after all, Cheng Yu himself is such a person.

Xi Zhicai stopped 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 that case, it's no wonder that Gongtai chose to leave." Xi Zhicai sighed.

Although Xi Zhicai did not spend a long time with Chen Gong, with his own abilities, Xi Zhicai had a relatively good understanding of Chen Gong.

How could the straightforward and strong-willed Chen Gong not be upset when he met Cao Cao, who had so many negative attributes?

It's better to break up. At least they don't have to hate each other and cause trouble.

I just don't know if these two people will be able to reunite in the future.

-

On the Jie Bridge battlefield, as Yuan Shao sent out his declaration of war, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan began to integrate their armies and prepare for a decisive battle.

Gongsun Zan's side still has the familiar White Horse Volunteers, Gongsun Zan's most elite cavalry and the fastest cavalry corps in the world.

"Today is the day Yuan Benchu ​​dies, hahahaha..." Gongsun Zan laughed loudly towards the sky, "Then let's give him a decent death!"

[General Gongsun has forgotten Lu Zhonglang's warning again. I hope Gan Xingba can catch up.]

Taishi Ci swallowed his saliva and shuddered unconsciously as he looked at Gongsun Zan who looked so proud and high-spirited. He felt that he was going to be in trouble this time.

"Zi Yi, would you like to come and help us in the battle?" Gongsun Zan invited Taishi Ci with a smile.

Gongsun Zan admired Taishi Ci, the strong man from Qingzhou, very much. The righteousness that Taishi Ci advocated was also the life creed that Gongsun Zan advocated.

Gongsun Zan never neglects people he admires, just like Liu Bei. Even though Liu Bei was just a mat weaver and shoe seller at the time, what does it matter?

And in this war with Yuan Shao, in Gongsun Zan's eyes, Yuan Shao actually dared to fight him in the field at Jie Bridge. Isn't this seeking death?
Although it is difficult to deploy the cavalry formation at Jie Bridge, can Yuan Shao's army withstand the speed of the White Horse Volunteers?
As long as he let the White Horse Volunteers start running, no matter how many obstacles lay ahead, Gongsun Zan firmly believed that his White Horse Volunteers could overcome them.

In this situation, in Gongsun Zan's eyes, sharing some of the credit with Taishi Ci, whom he admired, was not a big problem at all.

Seeing Gongsun Zan's sincere face, Taishi Ci bowed and said, "It is my wish, I dare not ask for it!"

Taishi Ci smiled and accepted 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. 】

On the other side, after receiving Taishi Ci's letter, Gan Ning did not summon the fleet to guard the water trade route, but directly set out with 300 elite sailors.

After assigning military duties, Taishi Ci returned to the rear camp to reorganize the troops when he met the messenger sent by Gan Ning.

There was nothing else in the letter except 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 as his surprise troop, he could at least deal a heavy blow to Yuan Shao.

"Send out troops!" Following Gongsun Zan's order, continuous drum beats sounded, conveying Gongsun Zan's order.

Under Gongsun Zan's order, the soldiers from his left and right camps all came out in full force, forming two standard cavalry corps to follow Gongsun Zan's two wings.

As the White Horse Volunteers gathered, the pure white clouds condensed from tens of thousands of them directly covered the azure sky.

After Gongsun Zan sent out his troops, Yuan Shao on the other side also stepped forward to the front of the battlefield under the advice of Shen Pei, which made Ju Yi once again resolute in his determination to make Yuan Shao win.

When Gongsun Zan led his troops to the agreed battle site, Yuan Shao's army had already deployed its battle formation there.

Leading the way were the heavily armored spearmen led by Ju Yi, also known as the Halberd Soldiers. These were the heavy infantry that Gongsun Zan and his men had already seen.

Behind the halberd soldiers were thousands of vanguard warriors carrying machetes on their shoulders and powerful crossbows in their hands.

When Gongsun Zan took a look, the first thing he noticed was the heavily armored spearmen standing in the front, also known as the halberd soldiers.

Gongsun Zan narrowed his eyes, then touched the special saber hanging on the white horse under his crotch. He wondered if the special sabers sent by his junior brother could cut through the defensive armor of the heavily armored spearmen in front of him.

A murderous atmosphere spread from the two armies. Gongsun Zan did not go out to shout, but just waited for the opportunity.

In the current situation, the one who has the advantage is not Yuan Shao, but Gongsun Zan.

If anyone is to come out and speak, it should be that despicable guy Yuan Shao who should come out first, and then Gongsun Zan.

Gongsun Zan waited and waited for half a cup of tea, but Yuan Shao still did not come out, while Yuan Shao's army on the opposite side remained motionless, without making any sound, and the silent might was transmitted in this way. Looking at the cold eyes and the solemn military formation of Yuan Shao's front soldiers, although they looked very strong.

But who is he? General Gongsun Zan of the White Horse.

He led the undefeated White Horse Volunteers who roamed the north!
"Pass my order, attack directly from the left and right wings, flatten the formation in front, let them see what the White Horse Volunteers are!" Gongsun Zan gave the order to flatten the formation with a cold face.

The command flags were waving, drums were beating, and the oath of "Wherever justice lies, we will follow each other through life and death, the heaven can bear witness, and the white horse can be our witness" resounded through the sky.

"Zi Yi, the command of our infantry is now handed over to you." Gongsun Zan bowed to Taishi Ci.

Although Lu Zhi's letter did not make Gongsun Zan change his strategy, Lu Zhi was right about one thing: it is always a good idea to be more prepared.

Especially when he was shouldering the heavy burden of resisting the invasion of the Hu people in the northern border, if he was defeated in this battle, the major princes in the Central Plains would not have the time to interfere in the affairs of the northern border at this time.

If someone else said this to Gongsun Zan, Gongsun Zan would definitely let him try out the White Horse General's reputation in the northern border.

However, this person was Lu Zhi, Gongsun Zan's teacher. No matter how harsh his words were, Gongsun Zan had to stand and listen.

As for whether to listen to Lu Zhi's advice or not, that is Gongsun Zan's own business. After all, adults always have their own ideas. The main thing is to read it and reply randomly.

However, the opposing army's strength forced Gongsun Zan to follow up on his teacher's teachings and prepare some backup plans.

Taishi Ci was stunned when he heard Gongsun Zan's instructions and Gongsun Zan's sudden bow. What was Gongsun Zan doing at this time?
Seeing Gongsun Zan's slightly solemn expression, Taishi Ci seemed to understand something, and bowed to Gongsun Zan solemnly and said, "I will definitely live up to your trust!"

Seeing Taishi Ci's extremely solemn expression, Gongsun Zan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Ziyi. For this battle...please say hello to my teacher and fellow apprentice for me."

After saying this, without waiting for Taishi Ci's response, Gongsun Zan spurred his horse and joined the surging waves of the Baima Yicong.

[Military soul or three talents?] Gongsun Zan thought about the letters from Lu Zhi and Liu Bei, and he could no longer suppress his desire.

A wanton and arrogant look appeared on Gongsun Zan's face, and his fierce and cold eyes stared directly at the halberd soldiers and the vanguard soldiers who were blocking the way of the Baima Yicong.

[Although I don’t know how the teacher and fellow apprentices knew about your situation, but... you are not the only ones standing at this critical juncture——]

"Wherever justice demands, we will stick together through life and death. Heaven can bear witness, and the white horse is the proof!" Gongsun Zan roared out the oath he and the White Horse Yicong had made.

"Wherever justice demands, we will stick together, life and death alike. Heaven can bear witness to this, and the white horse is the proof!" The soldiers of the White Horse Volunteer Army responded to Gongsun Zan's will.

"I'll use you to build the stairs for my White Horse Volunteers to reach the top. I'll get the ultimate form of the White Horse Volunteers [Zero Hour Dodge]!" Gongsun Zan looked at the halberd soldiers and the vanguards in front of him who were still motionless, and the hideous smile on his face became more ferocious.

Taishi Ci watched Gongsun Zan merge into the white waves and could only stretch out his hand, unable to do anything else.

[No, there is still one!] Taishi Ci forced himself to calm down and think about the task that Gongsun Zan had just given him.

Taishi Ci looked around and roughly estimated the number of Youzhou infantrymen that Gongsun Zan had given him, and then recalled what Yang Ji and Chen Xi had told him about Gongsun Zan.

"White Horse Volunteers!" Taishi Ci said word by word.

Yes, the only thing that can keep Gongsun Zan calm is the White Horse Volunteers. As long as the White Horse Volunteers are not completely surrounded and annihilated by Yuan Shao's army, Gongsun Zan's will will not be corrupted.

Ju Yi glanced coldly at the Baima Yicong who were surging like waves, and his heart was extremely calm.

The proud Gongsun Zan chose the cavalry fighting method as he had imagined.

Unfortunately, the invincible Baima Yicong who roamed the northern border encountered the surprise that Ju Yi specially prepared for them.

What's more...Ju Yi looked back at Yuan Shao, and an even stronger will emerged in his heart.

After Ju Yi turned around, he made a gesture to the grassroots officers of the Great Halberd Soldiers. Because Ju Yi was in the formation of the Great Halberd Soldiers, his order was executed with almost zero delay.

The soldiers of the halberd army, led by their squad leader, slowly bent down and squatted on the ground, leaning against the large shields in front of them.

Even when the pure white cloud surged towards them, they did not waver in their resolve and just waited quietly for orders from Ju Yi.

While giving the order, Ju Yi also leaned behind the big shield, quietly watching the surging White Horse Volunteers.

It was getting closer and closer, one hundred and eighty steps, one hundred steps, seventy steps, fifty steps, the white horse's arrow had already fallen.

Unfortunately, what effect can Bai Ma’s weak arrows have?

What's more, standing in front of the Baima Yicong were heavily armored spearmen, so the Baima Yicong's arrows had no effect on them.

Relying on his powerful dynamic vision, Gongsun Zan saw the arrow he shot being bounced off the armor of the halberd warrior, and it didn't even leave any mark on the armor of the halberd warrior.

Gongsun Zan narrowed his eyes, [Sure enough, the specially made saber is the future of Bai Ma. ]

Gongsun Zan hung the bow and arrow back on the horse, then drew out the special saber that Gan Ning had sent from Qingzhou.

After several rounds of volleys, the soldiers of the Baima Yicong did not look at their haul, but hung their bows and arrows back into their horse hooves. After all, they were very aware of the power of their own arrows.

The soldiers of the White Horse Volunteers drew out the brand new special sabers they had just received, although the shapes of these sabers were somewhat different from the ones they usually used.

However, for them who have already integrated various horse-riding combat techniques into themselves, using sabers at high speeds is just instinct.

There were only thirty steps left, and Ju Yi suddenly shouted: "Kill!"

Then he took the lead in throwing out a pistol that he had prepared long ago. After throwing the pistol, Ju Yi suddenly raised the big shield, and then smashed it down hard, inserting the big shield into the mud.

One end of the spear was placed behind the large shield, and the other end was embedded in the soil, supporting the slightly tilted large shield.

As Ju Yi's short spear was thrown out, eight hundred short spears were also thrown out by eight hundred halberd warriors.

The soldiers of the halberd did not look at the casualties caused by the short spears they threw, but quickly performed the same movements as Ju Yi. At this moment, they did not have the leisure to look at those temporarily useless things.

"Puff, puff, puff!" The eight hundred pistols caused at least three hundred White Horse Volunteers to fall off their horses, and then they were trampled under the hooves of the following horses.
