Chapter 429 Gongsun Zan: Almost Got Bad
what happened?

Qu Yi, who was ordering his soldiers to advance in an orderly manner, was startled. He looked up and saw Gongsun Zan and his white horse followers riding their lightning-fast war horses and coming aggressively.

Everything was almost the same as Xun Chen expected, but why did he feel uneasy, as if the thing he was most worried about was about to happen at the next moment?
Before Qu Yi could delve deeper and figure out the reason.

Suddenly, a thousand riders rushed out from Gongsun Zan's white horse entourage.

After these cavalrymen rushed out of the team, they did not attack them at the terrifying speed of their horses. Instead, they dismounted one after another in front of their puzzled gazes.

These cavalrymen picked up their swords and shields and marched towards them in uncoordinated steps.

Qu Yi frowned slightly. He could see that these cavalrymen wanted to fight them on foot and blatantly gave up their own advantages, which was extremely stupid.

but.
Is it true?
Qu Yinao thought about it seriously, but was not sure of Gongsun Zan's intention for a moment, so he had to give up for the time being.

"Since you want to fight on foot"

"Then I will agree to it!"

"Could it be that I am afraid of you?"

Qu Yi's eyes darkened and his expression became more determined.

"Soldiers, charge!"

Qu Yi shouted angrily, and the drum beats became rapid at this moment. A great battle started with the close combat between the two sides of the infantry!

Looking at the countless Yuan troops, which were approaching like a mountain collapsing, Tian Yu's breathing became much more rapid, and a trace of regret emerged in his heart. He regretted being confused by the words in the letter, he regretted not being able to persuade Gongsun Zan, and he regretted not being able to think of a good solution.
However, it was too late to regret now. He shouted angrily, "All soldiers, follow me. We must not let down General Gongsun, General Wei, and General Liu!"

"promise"

The elite soldiers of Chang'an responded with an equally loud voice, so loud that it seemed to drown out the sound of drums on the battlefield at this moment.

The responses rushed into Gongsun Zan's ears at the same time, like pots of fire-fighting water that extinguished his burning anger.

My mind suddenly became clear, and a broken string was reconnected.

Looking at the current situation again, Gongsun Zan suddenly understood, and his eyes immediately became solemn. The formation of Yuan army was exactly... exactly what Liu Biao had worried about before!

Could it be that what Envoy Liu said was right?
Gongsun Zan did not dare to be arrogant, especially since Tian Yu had already led his troops into a battle with Yuan's army. The shouting and fighting between the two sides were so loud that even the sky seemed to be shaking. There was no time for him to verify Liu Biao's words!
but
Seeing Tian Yu fighting back, Gongsun Zan gritted his teeth. Even a young general who had just joined the army could see that something was wrong with Yuan’s army. How could he be blinded?
Thinking of this, Gongsun Zan immediately spoke up, "Gongsun Yue!"

"!"

Gongsun Yue, who was staring at Tian Yu's back, was startled and reacted.

You must know that in the past, no matter how anxious Gongsun Zan was, he would never call out his full name, unless he was really extremely anxious and the situation was extremely urgent.

"I am here." Gongsun Yue responded quickly.

Gongsun Zan waved his hand at Gongsun Yue impatiently, "Go and call Tian Kai immediately. The whole army must hurry and come to support Guo Rang! There must be no mistakes!"

Gongsun Yue wanted to say, Brother, why are you so anxious? Regardless of the fact that Tian Kai is on the way, you are worried about Guo Rang. Can't we just order Guo Rang to retreat and then make plans?

However, facing Gongsun Zan, whose brows were twisted into a knot, Gongsun Yue still said against his will, "Yes."

Gongsun Zan seemed to have understood Gongsun Yue's heart. He said coldly: "If we retreat now, the morale of Yuan's army will surely rise greatly, and it will be even more difficult to deal with them!"

"Do you understand?" "I understand."

"Why don't you hurry up?!"

Gongsun Zan raised his eyebrows, and Gongsun Yue immediately shrank his head, turned his horse around, and galloped towards the rear. To be honest, he was still quite afraid of Gongsun Zan in this state.

Gongsun Zan retracted his gaze and looked at the Yuan army not far away, and he already had a plan in mind.

He followed the plan he had previously discussed with Liu Biao and quickly issued military orders.

Under the command of Gongsun Zan, the 10,000 White Horse Volunteers were divided into two groups and attacked the two flanks of Yuan's army respectively.

Qu Yi, who was fighting to the death with Tian Yu, saw that Gongsun Zan not only did not charge forward to fight, but also divided his troops!

Suddenly, alarm bells rang in Qu Yi's heart, and he thought to himself: Not good!

Could it be that Gongsun Zan is going to attack our flank? ? !
It should be noted that the flanks were their weakest point, so Jizhou naturally had no shortage of war horses before.

Even if there was a shortage, it would not be difficult for Yuan Shao to raise a group of elite cavalry given his wealthy family background.

But the bad thing was that when Yan Liang went to conquer Bingzhou, not only did he send in cavalry in vain, but he didn't even get Bingzhou's good horses. The scarcity of cavalry now was enough to make people frown.

Now it is contrary to the original plan, what should I do! What should I do!

Qu Yi was extremely anxious, his eyes darting around looking for a way to break the deadlock. Suddenly, his gaze stopped on the elite soldiers from Chang'an who had been defending their front line, and Xun Chen's words seemed to echo in his ears.

Even though these elite soldiers from Chang'an are as tough as a bone and difficult to conquer in a short time, a thousand people are still just a thousand people after all. They are not the main force of the army. How can we hold them back?
If we can defeat Gongsun Zan in one blow, we will surely win this battle!

So Qu Yi made up his mind and decided not to focus on Tian Yu anymore. Instead, he turned around and recruited more than a thousand halberd soldiers. He ordered them to support the flanks and ordered the crossbowmen hidden in the army to be on standby at all times. Today, he vowed to kill the Baima Yicong!

Tian Yu's nerves were tense and he swung his spear with all his might, not daring to slack off for even a moment.

When he saw Gongsun Zan attacking from the flank, he was delighted, thinking that the things he had been worried about had finally come to an end.

But after a moment, Tian Yu frowned slightly, and worry surged into his heart again. Why did the pressure brought to him by Yuan Jun decrease a lot at this time?
Could it be an illusion?
"brush--"

As Tian Yu dodged the blade of a soldier of Yuan army and stabbed the soldier in the chest with his backhand, this feeling of uneasiness became more and more intense.

broken!

It's not an illusion!
Tian Yu's heart trembled. He looked up and through the gaps between Yuan Shao's soldiers, he saw various soldiers behind the shield soldiers moving quickly to the sound of drums and going to support the flanks.

In a desperate situation, Tian Yu made up his mind and tried to imitate the previous letter and scold Yuan Shao, but when the words came to his lips, he squeezed out the same words, "Yuan Shao! You bastard!"

"You bastard! How dare you insult Envoy Yuan? You deserve to die!"

This voice was quite effective.

Unfortunately, it was not the main general of Yuan’s army who was indignant. Even the soldiers who went to support him were not affected. Instead, a soldier in front of him had red eyes, a ferocious face, and raised his blade, and rushed towards Tian Yu like a tiger pouncing on its prey.

However, before the blade reached his face, the soldier was stabbed through the heart by the long spear of the Chang'an elite soldier beside him.

Tian Yu's heart sank, and he muttered to himself, "General Gongsun.
