Chapter 228
Chapter 228
On the bank of Jie Bridge, the clouds of war were thick, and the sound of killing was roaring like thunder, shaking every inch of land.
"General, our army is surrounded!"
Gongsun Zan heard this, and a trace of coldness flashed between his eyebrows, but he did not get angry but laughed, and said in a deep voice: "Pass my military order, the whole army will turn their horses around immediately, and swear to fight a bloody way out of this desperate situation!"
"Where are the White Horse Yicong? Follow me to charge into battle, as long as the sharp blade points, we will be able to tear open the enemy's formation and see the light of day again!"
Yuan Shao looked at Gongsun Zan, who was now completely at a disadvantage.
He couldn't help but smile.
"Haha, although Gongsun Zan is famous, he is just a brave but foolish man. He really thinks that he can be invincible in this chaotic world with such a group of white horse volunteers under his command. Little does he know that the real battlefield is never controlled by the courage of a man."
Feng Ji also showed a sinister smile on the side.
"My lord, we should also completely close this net. As long as we block Gongsun Zan's retreat, there is no need to confront the white horse volunteers head-on and increase casualties. We just need to make clever arrangements, step by step, wait for the enemy to tire, consume their spirit and blunt their edge."
Feng Ji's strategy, from the beginning to the end, did not regard head-on confrontation as the best strategy, but focused on outsmarting, intending to gradually weaken Gongsun Zan's strength through continuous war of attrition.
He knew that the White Horse Volunteers under Gongsun Zan were like the wind on the grassland, swift and fierce, and should not be underestimated, but if he could maneuver skillfully and avoid their sharp edge, he could make them exhausted and exhausted.
Gongsun Zan has a White Horse Volunteers under his command, right? Then he would entangle with them tightly, not confront them head-on, and harass them blindly.
"In this battle, our army will be like a patient hunter, not in a hurry to hunt for a while, but pressing step by step to block Gongsun Zan's retreat."
"If he tries to break out, we will attack him with ease, making him walk on thin ice every step forward; if he shrinks back, our army will surround him from all sides, making him run out of food and grass, low morale, and finally collapse without a fight."
Feng Ji's words revealed a kind of confidence, as if everything was under control.
On this battlefield with raging flames and drums, Gongsun Zan stood there, his face as cold as frost, his anger burning in his chest, as if he wanted to burn everything around him to ashes.
He found that the cavalry around Yuan Shao were scattered, and his punch seemed to hit cotton directly. He wanted to avenge Yan Gang, especially Ju Yi, who was like a ghost, always avoiding his edge at critical moments and refusing to confront head-on, leaving Gongsun Zan with nowhere to vent his anger.
The White Horse Volunteers, an elite division famous for its unparalleled cavalry and archery, was still fighting hard at this moment, with arrows raining down and constantly harvesting the lives of the enemy.
But the enemy had no choice but to have a large number of people, surging like a tide, and the encirclement was tightening step by step, as if an invisible net was slowly swallowing Gongsun Zan and his warriors.
Gongsun Zan knew that the situation was critical, and if he could not break the deadlock quickly, the glory of the White Horse Volunteers might end here.
He gritted his teeth, a look of determination flashed across his eyes, and he secretly calculated that he must find a ray of hope to defeat the enemy, otherwise, not only would it be difficult to avenge Yan Gang, but he might also endanger the lives of countless loyal and brave men under his command.
Once the battle lasted until dark, his cavalry would need to replenish a large amount of food.
Now that the retreat was cut off, if the siege lasted more than a few days, even if his Baima Yicong was made of iron, he would completely lose his combat effectiveness.
Gongsun Zan was pale at this moment, and he knew that he had finally made a big mistake.
"It's too late to regret! I should have listened to Ziyi's wise words, why did I end up in this situation!"
He murmured to himself, his voice full of unwillingness and regret, as if he could penetrate the cold air, but he could never call back the past time.
As far as his eyes could see, Feng Ji and Yuan Shao were standing not far away, with an indescribable teasing on their faces, and that smile seemed to be the most ruthless mockery of his failure. Gongsun Zan felt mixed emotions. His former ambitions seemed so pale and powerless at this moment.
Thinking back to the past, when Liu Yao first entered Bingzhou, he was surrounded by think tanks, making plans and winning battles thousands of miles away.
And Yuan Shao was also very competitive, with many military advisors under his command.
In terms of charging into battle, Yuan Shao would never be his opponent.
But in terms of conspiracy and intrigue, Gongsun Zan was simply not good enough for those counselors.
Seeing that his retreat was blocked, there were still a large number of infantrymen rushing around.
No matter how slow Gongsun Zan reacted, he knew that the other side just wanted to drag them to death.
"We can't sit and wait for death! At this moment, only by burning our boats can we find a glimmer of hope!"
He stared at the tightly packed Yuan Shao army in front of him, like a bronzeThe iron wall was hard to shake, but this heaviness aroused the unyielding fighting spirit in his chest.
"Pass my order! The whole army will break out at all costs! As many as can be rushed out!"
Gongsun Zan suddenly stood up, as majestic as a mountain. He waved his arms, as if carrying a violent storm, and roared through the clouds and cracked the rocks: "Follow me to charge, fearlessly move forward!!"
The warriors under his command, each of them had an unyielding flame in their eyes, which was the tenacity and bravery honed countless times in the smoke of war on the grassland. Their roars gathered into an unstoppable torrent, shaking the sky, announcing their determination and fearlessness.
They had all fought bravely against the alien races on the grassland, so naturally they would not be defeated easily.
"Hmph! Since you are trying to cut off my way back, let me, Gongsun Zan, attack the enemy with a surprise attack! I want to see who in this world can stop me!"
After saying that, a look of determination flashed across his eyes, and he turned to face the seemingly insurmountable enemy formation, and said in a low and powerful voice: "Brothers, we are together for life and death, and we will fight together! Follow me to break through the siege and kill Yuan the thief!"
"Charge!"
With a roar that resounded through the sky, Gongsun Zan took the lead, like a tiger descending from the mountain, and led his warriors to give up the idea of retreating, and resolutely launched a charge in the direction of Yuan Shao.
Ju Yi did not react for a while, because most of the troops were used in the retreat route, and the troops in front were a little weak, which gave Gongsun Zan a perfect opportunity.
The enemy's blockade, under the overwhelming attack of Gongsun Zan's troops, was as fragile as paper, and was torn apart one by one, collapsing without any signs.
Yuan Shao's army was also completely passive by this sudden attack.
"No retreat! My sword is not bad! Everyone maintain the formation!"
At the critical moment, Yuan Shao also drew the sword at his waist and ordered his guards to step forward to maintain the formation.
