Chapter 114 Tan'er, It's Up To You
Outside the gate of the Yuan family's base camp.
The banners are unfurled, and the soldiers are forming a dense formation of crane wings. Between the wings is the enemy's cemetery, and at this moment it is the passage for important people to advance.
Three thousand well-equipped guards of Yuan Shao's lineage formed this formation, and they were the highest-ranking members of the tens of thousands of Yuan's troops.
However, at this moment, the morale of the guards is really not high. The reason is that the heart is like a mirror.
Inside Yuan Shao's garrison formation, surrounded by his confidants, civil and military, Yuan Shang's expression was very tired and ashamed.
The sound of horseshoes gradually came from a distance.
look up.
It was Yuan Tan who came.
He was dressed all over, carrying the golden Daosheng Wind and Cloud Spear, and the nunchucks hung on his waist. The color of the precious alloy metal made him bathe in a kind of brilliance.
Riding on Shenjun's Longli horse, he marched slowly but without delay.
Behind him, Dian Wei, Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun and other generals, all in heavy armor and horses, each armed with sharp weapons and high-spirited expressions.
The whole arrival, although there are not many people, gives people a great momentum.
This is the aura of fearlessness.
Absolutely strong momentum.
Yingjie's momentum.
Able to challenge everything in the world.
This momentum gradually changed the morale of the 3,000 guards, and the guards were refreshed.
It seems that Tian Feng and others, the civil and military members of the Yuan family, are full of awe.
It seemed that Yuan Shang was gnashing his teeth, full of unwillingness.
It seems that Yuan Shao feels more and more that the Yuan family needs this son.
Yuan Tan stood on the horse, his eyes swept over everyone, and when he stopped at his father, he got off the horse.
Zhao Yun and the others dismounted together.
"Greetings, my lord father."
The momentum remains undiminished.
Yuan Shao gave birth to a feeling that the country's most important weapon was ready to go, and his face was hot all of a sudden, so he had to give in and said: "Tan'er, it's up to you..."
Yuan Tan got on his horse and left in the dust.
...
The cheering horn resounded through the Panhe River again, and Yuan Tan stood on the flagship, passing one ship after another full of Yuan Jun.
The soldiers of Yuan's family wandered here all morning and witnessed the assault again and again. Will the arrival of the eldest son bring changes?
Under the watchful eyes of the whole army, Yuan Tan led the Shence Army to take over the main attack.
Yuan Shao also personally came to the river to cheer.
On the other side of the river, Gongsun Zan naturally knew the enemy's movement on the river at a glance.
As a prince who has experienced many battles, just listening to the sound of the drum and the imperceptible aura emanating from Yuan Jun's tall and straight figure, he knew that this time the assault force was no small matter.
He no longer had the joy of a winning streak, but felt that the next battle was more important, "Who will take over the attack this time? This should be the last time for the enemy. As long as he can persist, Yuan Shao will have to retreat..."
"Father, it's Yuan Tan and his Shence Army!" His son Gongsun Xu returned from the river bank.
Gongsun Zan looked over, "Yuan Shao sent his eldest son, and he came in person. This is definitely the final decisive battle."
Speaking of which, the army under his command has been born and died in Youzhou for many years, and it has already been tempered in battles with foreign races. This is the fundamental reason for repeatedly defeating Yuan Jun's assaults.
But at this moment, the overlord of Youzhou clearly felt a subtle change in the mentality of his followers.
Obviously, Yuan Tan's Shence Army became famous in the first battle when the princes were fighting against Dong. Facing such an army felt oppressive.
Gongsun Zan looked serious, "Look, the number of large enemy troops is obviously much smaller. Yuan Tan was defeated again in Shaoqing, Yuan Shao not only ended this time's general attack,
It will also lose the advantage it had so hard to obtain before, and our army will be able to enter the stage of strategic counter-offensive instead. "
He didn't think he would be the one who failed, and neither did his followers.
Two armies with the same self-confidence are about to collide with iron and blood. Perhaps, it will also determine the direction of this troubled world.
The tactics used by Yuan Tan are the same as those of Yuan Shang. In fact, under the current conditions, there are no other tactics to speak of.
He directly ordered the ship to dock on the shore, but he did not launch an attack immediately.
The soldiers of both sides looked at each other with a distance of more than ten steps.
Being able to take over the main attack mission, the morale of the Shence Army is high, and the soldiers of the Gongsun Army are also very morale after winning consecutive victories.
Red river water, floating corpses, flowed under the hull of Shence Army.
And all the blood that was dyed red was trampled on Gongsun Jun's feet.
At the feet of Gongsun Army, countless cobweb-like dense streams of blood, either converging or traveling alone, flowed into the river.
The main battlefield at this moment was unprecedentedly silent, but surrounded by thousands of corpses, this silence was particularly terrifying.
The two sides just stood there quietly, looking at each other, and holding the sharp blades in their hands tightly.
One minute.
two minutes.
five minutes…….
Time seems to be frozen, soldiers seem to be eternal, and there seems to be something testing them in the world.
As the defender, Gongsun Zan held his breath, and naturally he would not make the wrong decision to take the initiative to attack. He was waiting for Yuan Tan to make a move. It must be a violent attack like a storm.
A scream suddenly broke the silence of the battlefield, and the sudden appearance made people shudder.
A Gongsun soldier fell under Yuan Tan's sharp arrow.
Since Yuan Tan was condescending, everyone saw that he had shot an arrow.
After Yuan Tan's military strength improved, he became more and more proficient in bow and arrow. Although he was not as good as Huang Zhong and Sun Shangxiang, he was still very powerful.
This arrow was very sharp, piercing directly through a soldier's head. As the red and white blood mist spread, the soldiers of Gongsun Army became extremely nervous.
They had to all shrink behind the shields, not daring to show their heads.
Although Yuan Tan lost any targets, it was obvious that Gongsun Jun's momentum had dropped.
The decisive battle is very important for morale.
Therefore, Gongsun Zan's lungs exploded with anger. He had fought hundreds of battles in his life, and it was the first time he was oppressed by the enemy at such a close range, and he didn't dare to strike first.
This is obviously to bully him that he has no arrows. If he had arrows in reserve, would Yuan Tan dare to do this?
But doing so now has put his army under heavy psychological pressure.
river center.
Yuan Shao was surprised.
His counselors breathed a sigh of relief, but they were also afraid that Yuan Tan would attack the whole army without saying a word. Now it seems that the eldest son has his own unique views on the art of war.
The standoff continues.
There are no huge wars and resources between glorious empires.
But the drastic situation is worse than worse.
The two sides did everything in order to compete for the opportunity to rise.
This is a special game formed under special circumstances.
Both sides have run out of special weapons such as bows and arrows.
There is only hand-to-hand combat among the troops in the brigade.
However, the generals used the few remaining bows and arrows to attack, which seemed to have a great impact on morale at this moment.
Gongsun Zan couldn't sit still, so he summoned the best archer general under his command, Gongsun Fan, who was also his younger brother, "Sneak over and find a chance to shoot Yuan Tan."
As the overlord of Youzhou, he planned to fight fire with fire, but instead of shooting the soldiers, he planned to kill Yuan Tan with cold arrows.
Gongsun Fan sneaked over and hid behind the shieldman, like a poisonous snake, showing its poisonous fangs.
Shaoqing.
Yuan Tan just saw a little bit of starlight, moved instinctively, and felt a sharp pain in his shoulder.
Hit!
Gongsun Fan was ecstatic.
The entire Gongsun army is also ecstatic.
Since ancient times, the generals who lead the battle have been in danger at any time. Even Guan Yu and other powerful generals will inevitably be injured by arrows, and even their lives are in danger.
But a man with a passionate heart will not be afraid of these.
This scar is a man's supreme medal.
With Yuan Tan hitting the arrow, the situation is already very unfavorable for the Shence Army.
But with one of his actions, the situation changed drastically.
He pulled out the sharp arrow stuck in the shoulder socket, bringing out a bloody red thread. Immediately afterwards, he jumped down, and under the shocked, horrified, and incredible gazes of the soldiers of the two armies, he crossed a distance of more than ten steps, which was not far away.
With a flying kick, he kicked away the two shields in front of him, and grabbed Gongsun Fan from inside.
Yuan Tan's strength was already enormous, he clamped the attacker's neck and held him in the air, while the sharp arrow full of his blood in his other hand pierced Gongsun Fan's chest.
This is not only the king's revenge, but also the clarion call for a general attack.
The next moment, the war drums of the Shence Army roared and trampled on the Gongsun Army's position.
