"Sun Tzu's Art of War" says, "Victory is achieved through righteousness and harmony."

The three words "zhenghe" and "zhenghe" can be summed up in one sentence: hold steady and don't wander.

This point has been confirmed as a military truth in countless wars in later generations.

In the original Battle of the Boundary Bridge, Gongsun Zan forgot this point and wanted to make a gorgeous blow in the decisive battle, but was killed by Yuan Shao.

Now, Gongsun Zan had been taught a lesson in the Red Star Camp. Facing another decisive battle, he changed his previous cavalry-based tactics and used the infantry and cavalry coordinated combat that he had learned from Lu Zhina in Luoyang.

Yuan Shao was secretly happy when he saw that Gongsun Zan sent cavalry as the vanguard as he had guessed.

This time the formation was planned by him, Ju Shou, Tian Feng and others, in order to lure Gongsun Zan into being fooled.

Yuan Shao did not have no cavalry, but the number was too small to resist Gongsun Zan's cavalry.

On the battlefield, missing one unit is extremely terrifying, so Yuan Shao wants to use a pair of pieces to offset Gongsun Zan's cavalry advantage.

And the piece he took out was Ju Yi's first to die!

There were 800 people who died first. These 800 people were all Xiliang men. These people followed Ju Yi and left their hometown. None of them had many lives in their hands. Faced with life and death, they dealt with it indifferently. Ju Yi once patted Yuan Shao

The chest guarantees that even five times the cavalry will not be able to confront one's own soldiers who died first.

And there are more than just these 800 people in the front line.

There are also a thousand people, who are the powerful crossbowmen that Han Fu worked hard to build.

Han Fu didn't do nothing in Jizhou. He used Jizhou's wealth to build tens of thousands of powerful crossbows. Now, they have become Yuan Shao's combat power.

The dead soldiers climbed up first, and naturally they all had strong crossbows.

In the front line, Ju Yi took a breath and revealed the gap in the big shield as he looked at Gongsun Zan's army on the other side of the bridge. Like other soldiers, he was holding up a huge shield, with a steel gun on the left and a powerful crossbow with arrows on the right.

.

"Come on! Gongsun Zan, become my stepping stone for Ju Yi!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!!

Thousands of cavalry and tens of thousands of horse hooves created a loud noise like thunder.

"Everyone, please hold me steady. No arrows are allowed to be fired without my order!"

Ju Yi shouted loudly, and someone sent the order to go down.

"Come on!" Ju Yi saw the cavalry rushing two hundred steps ahead of him. He held his breath, held up his big shield, and waited for the moment when the arrow flew.

Five breaths!

Ten breaths!

Twenty breaths!!

what happened?

The imaginary rain of arrows did not appear. Ju Yi hurriedly looked up, and a scene appeared that made his back break into cold sweat.

Thousands of cavalry were divided into two groups and walked around the formation, with no intention of facing each other head-on.

Something bad is happening!

Found out!

Yuan Shao, who was in the rear army, also discovered something was wrong. Gongsun Zan's cavalry was actually preparing to bypass the front formation. The cavalry could run around, but his infantry could not.

If the infantry follows the cavalry, isn't this looking for death?

No, march on!

Yuan Shao immediately shouted, "Send the order for the front army to march!"

The thunderous drum beat suddenly sounded, and Ju Yi, who was in the front army, looked back with his eyes wide open, looking at the waving flag, and then he believed that there was nothing wrong with his ears.

Want me to take the initiative?

this...

Although he was reluctant, he could not disobey the order. Ju Yi gritted his teeth and shouted, "Go in with a gun and a crossbow!"

The eight hundred warriors who ascended first carried their crossbows on their backs, held a gun in one hand, and a large shield in the other, and began to press forward.

Thousands of strong crossbowmen followed behind and slowly moved forward.

When Gongsun Zan saw that Yuan Shao's front army was actually moving forward, he immediately said, "Take the initiative to ask for a fight? It's really a trick. Send an order to Tian Kai to attack!"

Tian Kai began to cross the river with the veterans brought from Youzhou, and the cavalry led by Yan Gang and Wang Men also found the crossbowmen hiding behind the dead soldiers after detouring.

The two couldn't help but feel very happy.

Fortunately, okay, otherwise it would have been another big defeat.

All of Yuan Shao's arrangements were destroyed, and now the Battle of the Boundary Bridge has become a head-to-head duel of strength.

"Go around and attack the rear army!" Yan Gang immediately made a judgment. Although the crossbow formation of only 2,000 people is the nemesis of the cavalry, it is not a big problem for Gongsun Zan's infantry, which also has tens of thousands of people.

These cavalry should harass Yuan Shao's headquarters behind them and lay the foundation for the final victory.

Two lines of cavalry were seen, bypassing Ju Yi's front army and rushing towards Yuan Shao's rear army in an arc.

Yuan Shao's rear army suddenly began to panic. Most of them were new soldiers and had no experience in dealing with cavalry.

At this time, Ju Yi and Tian Kai were less than a hundred steps apart.

Ju Yi, who was worried about the situation behind him, decided to charge to repel the enemy in front of him, and then returned for reinforcements.

"Fire the arrow! Fire the arrow!"

Ju Yi shouted loudly, and nearly two thousand arrows instantly formed a rain of arrows and rushed towards Tian Kaijun.

The front troops of Tian Kai's army were all veterans who had accompanied Gongsun Zan in the frontier fortress. They had experienced countless arrows from foreign tribes at the frontier fortress. Therefore, although many were killed by crossbow arrows, they continued to move forward without caring.

"Let go!" Tian Kai started to fight back, asking his archers to fight back.

"Damn it! It's the border troops!"

Ju Yi only took one look at the expressions of the people opposite and knew their origins.

After all, he was very familiar with this smell.

"Go to the dead first!" Ju Yi shouted their slogan loudly.

"Death but no life!"

The eyes of the eight hundred deceased soldiers suddenly changed, and they began to become more cold-blooded and cruel.

"rush!!"

It takes a lot of time to mount the strong crossbow, so the first soldier immediately threw away the strong crossbow and followed Ju Yi's instructions to start the charge.

"kill!!"

Tian Kai doesn't care. He has an absolute advantage in numbers. Am I still afraid of you?

Yuan Shao on the other side saw countless arrows flying out from Gongsun Zan's cavalry, and he really understood what arrows were raining down.

"Ming Gong, do you want to return to the camp first? What's the long-term plan?" Tian Feng, who was on the side, pulled Yuan Shao and wanted to go back. He was very aware of the fighting strength of both sides, and now this battle can no longer be fought.

Yuan Shao felt a rush of blood rushing to his head.

retreat?

Is there any place for him to retreat?

Now he is surrounded by enemies on all sides, including Zhang Yan, Dong Zhuo, Gongsun Zan, Liu Yu, and Ma Qiang who is hiding aside.

If he were defeated, not to mention Jizhou, he might have to defect to Cao Cao, who had just acquired Dongjun.

Let yourself defect to Cao Cao?

Can this be tolerated?

Isn’t it just death? I will fight hard!

Yuan Shao threw his helmet to the ground and shouted loudly, "If a man is fighting to the death, how can he survive by hiding in the camp?"

After saying that, Yuan Shao pulled out his sword, pointed forward and shouted, "Yan Liang attacks on the left, Wen Chou attacks on the right, and the rest of the troops charge with all their strength. Anyone who can kill one thief will be rewarded with fifty acres of land and one thousand coins. If he kills one thief, he will be rewarded."

Those who kill Gongsun Zan will be rewarded with a thousand acres of land and be promoted to two levels of officialdom; those who kill Gongsun Zan will be rewarded with ten thousand acres of land and be granted the title of marquis!"

Yuan Shao really tried his best and dared to say anything, but once he said it, it was indeed very effective.

Everyone's eyes in Yuan Shaojun suddenly turned red.

What is the purpose of being a soldier? It’s not just for money and food, but also for high-ranking officials and generous salaries!
