The Super Summoning System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 243 The Battle of the Boundary Bridge

Jizhou!
Originally, last year, this was the year 191 AD, when Yuan Shao, Gong and Sun Zan fought for Jizhou.But because of Liu Bian's imperial decree, the two were strictly ordered to cease fighting.The two did not dare to act presumptuously, so they ceased fighting. Gongsun Zan occupied the three prefectures of Hejian, Zhongshan, and Changshan in northern Hebei.

However, Yuan Shao turned against the guests, Han Fu handed over Jizhou, and Yuan Shao became the governor of Jizhou. The Yuan family's influence in Jizhou was deeply rooted, and they quickly took control of Yecheng.

Later, in order to suppress Yuan Shao's development, Liu Bian asked Han Fu to be the shepherd of Jizhou, but Han Fu was deeply afraid that Yuan Shao would kill him, so he committed suicide in fear.In this way, Jizhou became Yuan Shao's jurisdiction in name.

Yuan Shao turned his back on the enemy, first let Gongsun Zan send troops to invade Jizhou, induced Pan Feng to lead [-] elite soldiers from Jizhou to the north, and then secretly sent the Black Mountain Army out of the mountains to attack various places.Fearing that Jizhou would lose, Han Fu surrendered Jizhou to Yuan Shao.

When Pan Feng learned that Jizhou had changed hands, he dismissed [-] elite soldiers. Only [-] elite soldiers followed Pan Fengbei to join Liu Yu, and the remaining [-] were captured by Gongsun Zan.

Under the leadership of Han Fu, Jizhou did not build soldiers, and these [-] soldiers can be regarded as the main force of Jizhou.The rest are old and sick, and Yuan Shao only has [-] soldiers, plus all the old and sick in Jizhou, in fact, there are only [-] capable soldiers in the headquarters.

And Gongsun Zan is deep in the border, with [-] elite soldiers under his command, and [-] white horses, who are unparalleled in the world.He also acquired [-] elite soldiers from Pan Feng, who only needed weapons and armor to form an army. Gongsun Zan brought [-] elite soldiers from Beiping, plus [-] elite soldiers, making a total of [-] troops. upper hand.

In the past half a year, despite Liu Bian's order, the two forces still fought against each other. There were no major wars, but small conflicts emerged one after another. Yuan Shao has always been on the defensive.

The time came to the beginning of May in 192 AD. For several months, Gongsun Zan fought and won victories, swept through the counties of Jizhou, and stationed troops in Panhe.

Panhe is on the border of Qinghe County in southern Hebei, Yangping County to the south, Anping County to the north, and Guangping County to the west, which is the junction of the four counties.Up to now, in the face of Gongsun Zan's soldiers, Yuan Shao retreated again and again, and only the three counties of Guangping, Weijun, and Yangping were under his command.

Gongsun Zan's soldiers and horses were in full swing, beating Yuan Shao until he couldn't breathe. Naturally, Gongsun Zan didn't forget Liu Bei who stayed by his side all the time.Nowadays, under Gongsun Zan's command, the generals who are good at fighting are far inferior to those under Yuan Shao's command. Therefore, Gongsun Zan calls Liu Bei the Prime Minister of Pingyuan, but keeps the three brothers Liu Bei by his side, hoping to use the courage of Guan Zhang to fight against Yuan Shao.

Gongsun Zan's troops stationed at Panhe, and Yuan Shao himself led [-] troops. The two armies faced off on both sides of the Jieqiao with a distance of [-] li.

South of Jieqiao, Yuan Shao's camp!

Now under Yuan Shao's command, it can be said that there are a lot of talents. Generals Yan Liangwen Chou, Zhang He Gao Lan, Ju Yi, Gao Gan, brothers Lu Xiang and Lu Kuang, Chun Yuqiong, Jiang Qi, Han Meng and others. Ji, Xu You, Shenpei et al.There are also many talents from the Jizhou family who are congenial to Yuan Shao. With this lineup, except for high-level talents, Yuan Shao's lineup of mid-level talents is not even comparable to Liu Bian.

Yuan Shao's military camp was divided into two rows, with civil and military personnel in two rows, full of talents, dozens of people, it was very lively, Yuan Shao sat in the main seat.

"Ziyuan, you came up with an idea. Gongsun Zan's army marched into Panhe. I, the governor of Jizhou, only have three counties. If I retreat again and again, I'm afraid I won't even be able to keep Yecheng!" Yuan Shao squeezed one hand He was bearded, and he tapped the table with one hand. He was obviously a little anxious in the face of Gongsun Zan's soldiers.

"Gongsun Zan has [-] white horses and [-] cavalry under his command. Jizhou has a flat horse. It is really difficult to win against the cavalry! That's why I suggest that my lord temporarily avoid the front! Let Gongsun Zan's army go deep into the hinterland of Jizhou alone!" Xu You clasped his hands. There was no panic on his face.

Yuan Shao shook his head and sighed: "However, Jinan and other counties are all flat, and there is no danger to defend. If we retreat, there is no way to deal with Gongsun Zan's cavalry!"

Xu You got up and smiled and said, "My lord, there is no need to worry. Although the cavalry is strong, they are no match for the magic weapons. In the past half a year, I have ordered people to build thousands of ballistas! My lord, please follow me!"

Xu You made a gesture of invitation, signaling Yuan Shao to come out of the tent to watch!
"Oh? Ballista? Go out and have a look!" Yuan Shao stood up, his eyes lit up, he stroked his beard, and followed Xu You out of the camp.All the civil and military personnel in the hall also followed out of the camp.

I saw ten crossbow beds lined up on the school field outside the camp.I saw this ballista, with four wheels at the bottom, which can be used to push. The length, width, and height are about one meter each. There are some rather complicated structures on it, as if building a huge bow, which can be pushed by about one person.

"How powerful is this crossbow? Can it deal with Gongsun Zan's cavalry?" Yuan Shao looked at the ballista with surprise in his eyes, not believing that this dead thing could deal with Gongsun Zan's powerful cavalry.

"Come on, show me how powerful this ballista is!" Xu You clapped his hands and motioned for the sergeant to demonstrate to Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao and all the civil servants stared at the ballista curiously, wanting to witness the power of this ballista.Three hundred steps in front of the ballista is an earthen wall, which was temporarily built by Xu Youren to demonstrate the power of the ballista.

The soldiers took the arrow and prepared to load and launch it. They saw that the arrow was made of iron, about several feet long, like a small javelin.

"Choo Choo Choo!"

The ten crossbow carts were fired at the same time, and the sound of the crossbow arrows piercing through the air sounded, and they shot towards the earth wall in an instant.

"Hiss!" Yuan Shao gasped, "I didn't expect this ballista to be so powerful? With such a sharp weapon, why should I be afraid of Gongsun Zan's cavalry! Hmph, let's see how he dares to go mad with me!"

Behind Yuan Shao, all the generals were amazed, they saw that the ten crossbow arrows were all shot into the earth wall, and even the castration continued unabated, half of them penetrated into the earth wall and stuck firmly on it.If this kind of power is used against cavalry, maybe a single crossbow bolt can penetrate several cavalry?

Seeing the power of the ballista, Yuan Shao felt relieved, returned to the camp, and asked Xu You, "Now that we have this ballista, how should we use it to defeat Gongsun Zan?"

"My lord..." Seeing that Xu You built the crossbow cart, Guo Tu and Guo Tu immediately stood up with their hands together, wanting to contribute their ideas to fight for merit.

"Report!" Suddenly, a small school entered the camp, Yuan Shao frowned and said, "What's the matter? Didn't you see that I was discussing how to defeat the enemy?"

"My lord, forgive me, but Luoyang reported it urgently!" The little principal said in fear.

"Luoyang again? Present it!"

"Hmph, damn it, now that Gongsun Zan's troops are entering Panhe, the emperor actually ordered me to stop the army and cease fighting! If I miss this time, wouldn't it be a great disadvantage for me to let Gongsun Zan consolidate his power! What should I do?" Yuan Shao said angrily.

"The emperor is deep in Guanzhong, so don't worry about him!" Xu You sneered, Xu You was never loyal to Liu Bian's royal family, and he once plotted to abolish Liu Hong, Emperor Ling of Han.

"This...doesn't respect the holy order, what should he do if he sends troops to attack in the future?" Yuan Shao worried.

"My lord, don't panic. The Son of Heaven has just won Guanzhong, and his strength is not stable. It won't take three to five years to consolidate his power. If the Son of Heaven sends troops, the rear will be unstable. Don't worry, my lord! What's more, after three to five years, my lord will be able to Unify Hebei, and then there is no need to fear the emperor's attack!" Xu You cupped his hands.
