The Three Kingdoms: The Cold Gate World

Chapter 232
The sunshine at the beginning of summer is not harsh, but it is full of heat and energy, which makes people energetic and vigorous.

Yuan Shao led an army of [-] to Sanfu, and Yan Liang, the former commander of the army, frowned as the journey got longer.

None of the scouts sent to explore the road ahead came back!

What does this mean?
The enemy is right ahead, and heavily armed!

Just when Yan Liang was about to report this situation to Yuan Shao, a soldier ran back from the front and cupped his fists at him and said, "General, a large group of cavalry is coming from the west!"

Yan Liang was startled, and looked from a distance, the dust was flying, the smoke was getting thicker and thicker, and the sound of horseshoes gradually became louder from weak.

Yan Liang really wanted to give that soldier a big mouth, and he only reported it when the other cavalry had killed him in front of him. How did he find out the enemy's situation?

Not caring too much, he ordered formations to defend against the enemy, and at the same time sent people to report the military situation to Yuan Shao.

He led [-] vanguard troops, [-] central troops under Yuan Shao's personal leadership, and [-] rear troops under Zhang Jai's rear.

Yan Liang was very anxious at this time. His troops had [-] archers, [-] pikemen, and [-] shield soldiers.

But to really restrain the enemy's cavalry, it depends on Yuan Shao's central army, where there are [-] crossbowmen and [-] Bingzhou cavalry!

But the enemy army came suddenly, he hastily defended against the enemy, and his position was not chaotic.

He is a brave general, lacking resourcefulness and wisdom, but he knows a lot about the art of war and formation.

The [-] troops spread out quickly, forming a formation in an orderly manner. The spearmen were in front, the sword and shield soldiers protected the archers, and the archers were behind. It also creates an encirclement circle. As long as the opponent's cavalry slows down, they will be surrounded and killed locally.

I saw the cavalry with the wind, rolling up the dust and rushing towards them. The soldiers on the horses were covered in silver armor, holding a long halberd, and a white feather stuck on their shoulders.

The general who leads the attacking army is naturally the chief general of the Jinfan Army, Gan Ning!
Gan Ning took the lead, with a longbow in his hand, from far to near, he saw clearly the enemy's formation and countermeasures, and also saw Yan Liang's banner, a sneer sneered at the corner of his mouth, and temporarily withdrew the short-handled long knife in his hand, and picked it up. Putting down the bow and arrow, Gan Ning galloped his horse, straightened his body slightly down, bent the bow to the full moon, and the arrow pierced through the air like lightning.

Yan Liang had noticed Gan Ning, the main general of the opponent, and when he saw Gan Ning shooting his bow and arrows, several guards had already held up their shields to block Yan Yan.

嗖

The arrow hit, but Yan Liang was unscathed.

The shield that stood in front of him was also intact.

Only a flag waving in the wind slowly fell.

Gan Ning took the lead, and Yan Liang's banner fell!

Seeing his army's flag being shot down by Gan Ning, Yan Yan was furious, the flag is a signal and the face of the army!

"What are you doing in a daze! Hurry up and put up the flag!"

Yan Yan was furious at the soldiers around him. If his flag fell, Yuan Shao of the Chinese army would probably think wildly when he found out.

Yin Ling flew into the sea like a blue dragon, coming and going like the wind, and before approaching Yan Liang's army, he actively changed his direction. He was heading towards the center, but he directly hit the left wing of Yan Liang's army, and then the wind swept away like a cloud, and he didn't stay where he went , the soldiers waved their long halberds wantonly to kill, from the left wing all the way to the north, the left wing, the middle, and the right wing, like a gust of wind whirling past, Gan Ning led the silver-feathered flying cavalry without going deep into the enemy army, and swept away the outermost troops of the enemy army After one pass, they retreated without stopping. The direction of retreat was not the direction they came from, but north-west, where the Wei River and the Luo River converged.

Retreat with one hit.

After the first battle, Yan Liang saw that his front line was turned upside down, but the actual loss was not heavy. He left nearly [-] silver-feathered flying cavalry sporadically, and he only paid less than a thousand casualties .

To chase or not to chase?
He can't decide this, he must ask Yuan Shao for instructions.

Yuan Shao learned that Gan Ning led the silver-feathered flying cavalry to attack, and the losses on both sides were not painful, but what should he do next?
Should we go straight to Chang'an or pursue Yinling Flying Cavalry?
"My lord, Guo Jia has no advantage in land right now, and only the cavalry in his hands can cause serious damage to our army. The only strange soldier in his hand is this silver-feathered flying cavalry. As long as the lord wipes out this army, no matter whether Guo Jia fights against the lord Whether you fight or stick to it, you will definitely lose."

The trial match's suggestion is to eliminate the Silver Feather Flying Cavalry first, and then pursue it.

The other counselors did not speak.

Yuan Shao also felt that the Yinling Flying Cavalry must be wiped out first. Judging from the casualty ratio just now, if this cavalry unit keeps harassing him, it is very likely that [-] cavalry will be exchanged for [-] to [-] infantry, which is obviously not worthwhile. .

In addition, Yuan Shao's grain and grass were transported from Hebei, and the journey was far away, and his soldiers and horses only had the [-] troops around him. If he didn't wipe out the enemy on the way to Chang'an, then suppose the enemy army went around him and cut off his grain road. The consequences would be unimaginable.

To restrain the Silver Feather Flying Cavalry, Yuan Shao must dispatch his central army.

"Chun Yuqiong, you lead [-] cavalry, Ju Yi, you lead all the crossbowmen under your command, you and Yan Liang chase the enemy together, I will lead the rest of the troops and arrive soon."

Chunyu Qiong and Ju Yi led the army forward after receiving orders, and after joining Yan Liang's soldiers and horses, nearly [-] soldiers and horses pursued northward.

Cao Cao, who was watching him give orders by Yuan Shao's side, remained silent. He was not qualified to dictate to Yuan Shao, even if it was a suggestion, he would not utter a word in front of Yuan Shao's subordinates.

Lure the enemy!
This is obviously to lure the enemy!
Cao Cao just changed his way of thinking about the problem. If Guo Jia really planned to use the silver-feathered flying cavalry as a surprise soldier, he would not be exposed during the day, nor would he appear when they had just left Tongguan and had not stepped into Sanfu. Yuan Shao retreated, and Yinling Flying Cavalry could go to Tongguan when they were halfway, or they could use infantry to feint and cavalry to make a surprise attack.

No matter what method is used, the appearance of Yinling Flying Cavalry so early is definitely not the main force to eliminate Yuan Jun, otherwise what is it to retreat with one blow?Do you really want to harass Yuan Shao as a kid?

If Guo Jia had only this ability, what kind of battle would he have to fight?Return to Yizhou directly.

Could it be that none of Yuan Shao's advisers saw that this silver-feathered flying cavalry was a lure to the enemy?

No, there must be.

The key is that Yuan Shao can't let Yinling Flying Cavalry come and go freely. If Guo Jia wants to choose a good place for a decisive battle, Yuan Shao will accompany him.

Guanxi is flat, and there is no risk of Weihan in Guanzhong. Yuan Shao doesn't mind where Guo Jia wants to fight. Without high mountains and dangerous roads, it is impossible for his 5 troops to be surrounded by Guo Jia's [-] people, right?

The three generals chasing Yinling Flying Cavalry, Chun Yuqiong, Yan Liang, and Ju Yi, while chasing, the three of them also became suspicious.

Regardless of their strategy, studying the terrain before fighting is a must.

The terrain to the west of Tongguan is flat, and the Weishui is to the north, and there are no high mountains and obstacles here. It is totally unreasonable for Yinling Feiqi to retreat to this side!

Could it be that Guo Jia built a bridge on the Wei River and let Yin Ling fly across the river and then demolish it?
This is too inconsistent with the art of war. If it is a strategy of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, then Guo Jia might as well reinforce Hangu Pass.

Suppressing the doubts in their hearts, the three generals led the army all the way north, chasing the tail of the Yinling Flying Cavalry to the edge of the Wei River.

At this time, three to sixty thousand soldiers were dumbfounded.

One mile away from here is the Weishui River. What Yuan Jun saw was a high wall, which could not be seen at a glance, and blocked their way from east to west.

And at the east end of this stone wall is another high ground. On the high ground, a person stands proudly. His appearance is not clear, but the name of the big banner behind that person is very clear.

郭！
Guo Jia!

The high ground was fortified from top to bottom, with dense troops and crowded people. The silver-feathered flying cavalry had arrived on the high ground. The first defensive force was the archers and crossbowmen led by Zhang Liao.

Yan Liang, Chun Yuqiong, and Ju Yi were all dumbfounded.

They are at the bottom and Guo Jia is at the top.

Can Bingzhou cavalry charge?Are Ju Yi's crossbowmen useful?Is it going against the trend with human life?
Guo Jia, Shengsheng created a condescending situation.

They only thought that the high wall was built by Guo Jia to prevent them from detouring and encircling them.

Yuan Shao has [-] soldiers and Guo Jia has nearly [-]. If he rushes now, it is very likely that the advantage in the number of soldiers and horses will be wiped out.

Out of such concerns, Yan Liang didn't dare to rush, so he could only yell at the high ground from a hundred meters away.

The spearhead was directed at Guo Jia.

Guo Jia, leaning on the sword and looking down, was unmoved.

No matter what famous general the person in front of him is, even if it is not Yan Liang, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Lu Bu, Xu Huang, Zhou Yu, Tai Shici, etc., he will remain indifferent.

These people are not qualified enough to make today's Guo Jia look differently.

The subject is the subject, and the master is the master.

Guo Jia wants to talk in front of the two armies, the opponent should be Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Sun Ce, Liu Biao and other monarchs, not a general, even if you are a famous general in Hebei, even if you are powerful in the world, your status is always With me, there is a distance between heaven and earth.

Yan Liang spoke rudely, and even tried to provoke Guo Jia by insulting him, so that Guo Jia sent troops down to fight, but he didn't get any results.

Seeing this scene, Ju Yi and Chun Yuqiong had no choice but to wait for Yuan Shao to arrive, whether to charge forward or find another strategy, let Yuan Shao decide, anyway, Yuan Shao will lead the army to arrive within an hour.

An hour later.

Yuan Shao arrived at the scene with [-] troops in the middle and [-] troops from Zhang Jai's rear.

Seeing this scene, Yuan Shao sneered.

If there is no geographical advantage, Guo Jia will create the geographical advantage by himself.

Is Guo Jia, the ghostly genius with a lot of tricks, already at the end of his rope?
Chunyuqiong came to ask Yuan Shao what to do, if he was going to charge.

Yuan Shao stared at Chunyuqiong like a fool and asked, "Why did you attack? Now that you know where Guo Jia's troops are, why bother to attack by force? You are stationed here with [-] troops. As long as Guo Jia comes down from the high ground , you will fight him to the death, and I will lead my troops to take Chang'an."

Chunyuqiong suddenly realized, flattered Yuan Shao for a few wise words, and then retreated.

When Yuan Shao's army converged, Guo Jia finally raised his sword on the high ground.

Guo Jia's expression was calm, and he looked to the east, as if he could see the peach blossom plug in the east of Tongguan.

"Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, next spring, when the mountain flowers are in full bloom and the peach color is gorgeous, I will go to your grave to worship."
