When the Zhou army was preparing to fight, not long after, Yuan Shao and his advisors and generals also arrived with their army.

Zhou You had no intention of talking to Yuan Shao. After Yuan Shao's army arrived, he immediately began to dispatch troops, shieldmen and crossbowmen to move forward. Taking advantage of Yuan's army's unsteady position, the sky was filled with arrows.

shrouded the past.

Yuan Shao, who had been preparing to come to the formation, and his advisers and generals were immediately frightened by the rain of arrows and retreated into the formation. At the same time, they hurriedly ordered the shield men to come forward and the crossbowmen to shoot arrows to counterattack.

However, in terms of the range of arrows, Yuan Jun was not as good as Zhou Jun. In this long-range attack, they were completely suppressed. Soon Yuan Jun's front army became confused under the rain of arrows. Yuan Jun

It was difficult for the generals to stabilize their position for a while.

"Cavalry, charge!" Immediately after Zhou You gave the order, the cavalry on both wings of the Zhou army took advantage of the situation and launched a charge against the Yuan army, and there were also cavalrymen among the Yuan army.

The northern army was good at riding and shooting, and Yuan Shao was assisted by the Wuhuan cavalry and the cavalry under Gongsun Zan, so he should not be underestimated.

However, the cavalry under his command are also elite, with tiger cavalry as the vanguard, and sophisticated weapons and armor. In this fierce melee of cavalry, it is visible to the naked eye that more people fall from the horseback.

Yuan Jun's cavalry.

The shouts of killing, the neighing of war horses, blood splashing, dust flying, and waves of sound rushed into the sky, which was actually louder than thunder. Coupled with the low sound of war drums, all the soldiers forgot

In everything, Red Eyes has only one belief, that is to kill the opponent, rush... kill...

Compared to Yuan Jun's cavalry who wantonly charged and killed the somewhat chaotic formation, the cavalry under his command were like sharp knives cutting back and forth. Slowly, Yuan Jun's mixed cavalry became more and more chaotic.

Suddenly, in the fierce fighting battlefield, the Zhou army's cavalry began to retreat slowly and orderly, revealing the direction of the traveling Chinese army. Yuan Shao, who was watching the battle from a distance, was surprised and ignored Xu You's blockage and shouted quickly.

Order the cavalry to charge with all their strength and capture the traveling central army.

"My lord, the Zhou army's cavalry is so powerful. How could you make such a mistake and expose the Zhou army's center? This is obviously a trap, don't rush in!" Xu You urged, but now Yuan Shao saw hope of victory.

Where can I still hear it?

So, under Xu You's anxiety, Yuan Jun's cavalry drove straight in to kill the Zhou Youzhong Army. At the same time, the Zhou Youzhong Army's military formation also changed. The crossbowmen retreated, and Mo Dao soldiers rushed up, squatting down in order, and then

Chariot-like ballistas appeared behind Mo Daobing, and then rows of thick crossbow arrows shot out...

Phew.. Phew.. Like fireworks, as those crossbow arrows were shot out, the loud whistle sounded like arrows. The closer the cavalry came to the reinforcements, the louder it became. The war horses were disturbed by the harsh sound, and then

A flash of blood appeared in the reinforcement cavalry formation, and the terrifyingly powerful crossbow arrows shot through the bodies of the horses, but still had enough energy left to shoot into the bodies of the horses behind them.

For a moment, amidst the screams, screams and neighs of the horses, Yuan Jun's cavalry was in chaos. Then, amid low roars, thousands of soldiers like a black wave charged towards the chaotic Yuan Jun cavalry.

..

As you can imagine, the orderly formation of Mo Dao soldiers was like a tank crushing them. After they rushed into the chaotic Yuan Jun cavalry, they were chopping melons and vegetables all the way. They stepped on the corpses and blood of the soldiers and horses, killing Yuan Jun cavalry first.

They were so frightened that they even completely broke up and fled for their lives, causing chaos in the Yuan Army's formation behind them.

As the saying goes, a defeat is like a mountain. After the Yuan army's cavalry was defeated, Zhou You gave an order, and the Zhou army's cavalry surrounded and killed them on all sides. The main force of the Chinese army also surged up. In the blink of an eye, it was overwhelming, causing Yuan's army to be defeated quickly.

The more troops there are, the more inconvenient it will be to command. In a melee and rout, the defeat will be more disastrous, and the chaos will become more difficult to deal with.

This is the same as camping at night. It's like a flood hitting a dam. Once the dam is unstable, it will collapse directly. The flood will pour out and destroy everything. How can it be resisted?

"Yuan Shao, I still think too highly of him. He is really vulnerable!" On the chariot in the Chinese army's formation, looking at the magnificent scene of Zhou Jun chasing and defeating Yuan Jun, Zhou You couldn't help but shake his head in disappointment.

In fact, he had made a lot of preparations for this battle and even brought some firearms. But now, before they were even used, Yuan Shao was defeated.

Command ability is one thing, and the sophistication of weapons and armor is another. The key is that many of the 400,000 troops Yuan Shao conscripted were new soldiers. In fact, their combat effectiveness is really poor!

Even if Yuan Shao has Liu Bei, Gongsun Zan and the Wuhuan people to help him, the combat effectiveness of a mixed army will often be constrained and weakened.

Historically, Cao Cao was able to defeat Yuan Shao's 700,000 army with 100,000 soldiers and horses. There were 200,000 to 300,000 elite soldiers and horses traveling around. Yuan Shao's idea of ​​winning with 400,000 troops with varying combat effectiveness was undoubtedly a foolish dream.

This decisive battle did not last long. By noon, the pursuing armies had returned one after another, and the statistical results after the war gradually became clear.

On the battlefield of the decisive battle, there were tens of thousands of corpses of Yuan's army, while Zhou's casualties were only a few thousand. During the pursuit, tens of thousands of Yuan's troops were killed and wounded one after another, and hundreds of thousands of Yuan's troops surrendered.

Among them, Yuan Shao's two generals, Zhang He and Gao Lan, and some other generals were overtaken and besieged by the Zhou army's elite cavalry, and they had no choice but to surrender.

In the afternoon, in the Zhou army's camp, I had a sumptuous lunch and was drinking tea. I and some of my advisors and generals were quietly waiting for news about the remaining pursuit of the army. I heard footsteps approaching from outside, and then I heard something.

Zhang Liao's familiar voice: "Prime Minister, the last general pursued all the way, overtook Liu Bei and forced him to surrender, and the three tiger generals Zhang and Zhao returned to camp and resume their orders!"

"Huh? Liu Bei? Okay!" Zhou You suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhang Liao with burning eyes: "Bring them into the handsome tent!"

Zhang Liao responded, turned around and went out. Not long after, he came in with four people. It was Liu Bei who was nearly fifty years old and weather-beaten, and the three generals Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun who were covered in blood and looked very tired.

.

"Pingyuan Liu Bei, pay homage to the Prime Minister!" Now that he was defeated and captured, Liu Bei, a bachelor, went forward and knelt down to Zhou You.

Seeing this, although they were a little reluctant, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun all looked at each other and knelt down on one knee to show their willingness to surrender to Zhou You.

"Liu Bei, you are a descendant of the Han Dynasty, but you should not follow Yuan Shao, a rebellious person!" Seeing this, Zhou You also sighed with some sighs, and then said: "Now, Yuan Shao has been defeated, and there are withered bones in the tomb.

That’s all, I wonder what Xuande’s plans are in the future?”

"But it depends on the arrangements of the Prime Minister!" Liu Bei seemed very honest, and Zhou You nodded and said directly: "Okay! In that case, you go to see the Emperor first. After all, you are the Emperor's uncle, how to arrange you depends on

It’s the emperor’s intention.”

"Thank you, Prime Minister!" Liu Bei lowered his head and closed his eyes, as if he had completely accepted his fate, while Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun's expressions changed, and they all couldn't help but become a little depressed. Those who like film and television, please collect it:
