The autumn wind is swaying, and the trees are falling.
In the autumn of 196, Liaodong and Liaoxi had another bumper harvest, and millions of grains and grass were successively transported to Yicheng and Youzhou border places, which meant that the war was about to begin.
At the same time, Yuan Shao also launched a full-scale offensive against Youzhou with almost all his forces.
Yuan Tan's generals Xin Ping and Xin Bi each led 20,000 troops to attack Banshi City and Beipingyi in the west of Youzhou, and Gongsun Bering Shan Jing and Guan Jing led 10,000 Youzhou foot soldiers to defend it; Jiang Yiqu and Chun Yuqiong led 30,000 newly recruited soldiers and horses from Jizhou to attack Beixincheng from Zhongshan, and Gongsun Bering Tian Kai and Shan Jing led 10,000 Taiping troops to defend it; Yuan Shang of Qingzhou led an army of 80,000 to cross Yishui from the west of Yicheng and attack the border of Youzhou from the southeast of Youzhou, and Gongsun Bai ordered Zhang He to lead 20,000 Taiping troops to defend Wen'an City.
Coupled with the army guarding in Youzhou, but in just over a month, Yuan Shao has gathered 230,000 troops and launched a full-scale attack on Youzhou.
Yuan Shao's multifaceted tactics caught Gongsun Bai off guard and had to divide his troops to defend the pass, so that there were only 5,000 guards in Yicheng and less than 20,000 people in Baima Yicong and Moyun Cavalry, and they would face 80,000 Hebei troops defending the river.
However, Yuan Shao knew that Bai Ma Yicong and Mo Yun were powerful, and with five or six times the strength of the troops, they were so calm that they still held their troops and still held on to the south of Yishui, which also showed that Yuan Shao was really powerful, and the supply of grain and grass for an army of more than 200,000 was effortless.
Yuan Shao is not in a hurry, Gongsun Bai is not in a hurry, although his troops are small, it is more than enough to defend the city, Yuan Shao is not short of grain and grass, and he is not short of grain and grass.
The grain and grass he has accumulated is not a problem even if the 200,000 army eats it for a year or two, but if it is really consumed, Yuan Shao may not be able to consume more energy than him.
However, it is not Gongsun Bai's style to fight a war of attrition behind closed doors, although there are only 18,000 troops in Yicheng, there are elites like Baima Yicong and Mo Yunqi.
Wouldn't it be a joke if it was used to defend the city?
Five thousand white horse righteous servants and eight thousand ink cloud riders were all replaced with steel-filled knives and steel-filled armor, and they were also equipped with three kinds of crossbows: big yellow crossbows, stepping crossbows and Zhuge repeaters.
In particular, the Zhuge repeater can shoot ten arrows at a time, although the range is only fifty steps, but the speed of the burst is terrifying, which can allow Gongsun Bai's elite cavalry to disturb the enemy formation with crossbow arrows before approaching the enemy, and then break into the enemy with terrifying melee impact, although the strength is small.
The odds of victory are still very high.
However, if you want to use more than 10,000 cavalry to break the 80,000 army guarding across the river, you must have two prerequisites, one is that Gongsun Bai's cavalry must cross the river unconsciously and not let the Hebei army know; The second is to take the Hebei army by surprise and give it a sneak attack, otherwise if you want to break through the 80,000 army with 10,000 troops, let you have excellent armor and strong soldiers.
After all, you can't be safe and sound with one enemy and eight, even if you can win.
It would also be a pyrrhic victory, and that would be more than worth the loss.
Bai Ma Yicong and Mo Yunqi are the capital of Gongsun Bai to dominate the world, how can they fight with Yuan Shao's ordinary soldiers like this At dusk, Gongsun Bai, surrounded by Zhao Yun, Tai Shici, Guo Jia and Guan Hai, led the horse slowly on the north bank of Yishui, looking at the river.
The glow of the sunset is red.
Coming out of the gaps in the clouds, the layers of clouds are like golden prints, and the glow of the sun sprinkles bits and pieces of fine gold scales on the surface of the river, and the top and bottom are intertwined.
It's spectacular.
Looking at the sunset on the first line of clouds and water, Gongsun Bai frowned slightly.
Because on the other side of the river, there is a dense Hebei army water village and company camp, stretching for ten miles, and there are no boats shuttling on the river.
If you want to cross the easy water, it is not difficult to cross the water, the level 5 equipment system can make a fighting ship, and it is not a problem to transport more than 10,000 troops at all, the problem is how to transport the army unknowingly.
On the river, the boats of the Hebei Army shuttled back and forth, patrolling everywhere, and it was impossible to cross the river without being detected by the Hebei Army.
Once Gongsun Bai's army began to cross the river, the enemy army would inevitably be covered with strong bows and crossbows on the other side of the river, and the cavalry of the Gongsun army on the boat was almost no different from ordinary infantry on the boat, and a group of people would be damaged by the crossbow before the terror was close to the case, and if the enemy army inserted a stake in the shallow water on the other side of the river, it would be difficult for the fighting ship to get close to the shore, and the advantage of the cavalry could not be brought into play, and the army of more than 10,000 people in the past was tantamount to death.
Guan Hai looked at the water village of the Hebei army on the other side of the river, and said angrily: "If there is a stone bridge on the river, Lao Tzu will dare to kick their ten-mile company camp with horses." ” Tai Shi Ci glanced at him: "Old black, it's useless to say something in white, where did this bridge come from on the water?"
Gongsun Bai suddenly felt a shock in his heart, and suddenly turned around and asked, "What the hell did you just say, you said the bridge?"
Guan Hai was asked by him, and immediately blushed, and said sneeringly: "The last general also said casually, I also know where the bridge is on the river, but I am not angry in my heart." ” He looked like he was afraid that Gongsun Bai would say that he was uneducated, so he hurriedly defended himself.
Gongsun Bai suddenly laughed, patted Guan Hai's shoulder viciously and said, "Who said that there can't be a bridge on the river, Lao Tzu will build a bridge for you to see." ” Tai Shi Ci on the side closed his mouth in surprise, and said in a lost voice: "If Tinghou can use immortal magic to build a bridge, cross the river at night, and launch a night attack on the enemy camp, if he is not prepared, he will definitely be able to break the enemy army."
Before the words fell, he suddenly heard Guo Jia next to him shouting nervously: "There is" This sound shocked everyone to Guo Jia, and their faces were full of confusion.
Gongsun Bai was interrupted by him, and couldn't help but be furious, and asked coldly: "What's the problem, it's that girl you like?"
Guo Jia smiled and said: "The last general has a strategy to break the enemy" Gongsun Bai's heart moved, and he said in a deep voice: "Come quickly" Guo Jia said with a smile: "As far as the last general knows, the immortal art of the Marquis can make a ship, if you build dozens of ships, and then fill them with oil, saltpeter and sulfur, the north wind is blowing at the moment, and the boat will be burned south at night, and the enemy camp will be connected to the water village, and it will inevitably catch fire one after another, then the enemy camp will be chaotic, and then take advantage of the chaos to cross the river and attack the enemy's camp, why worry about Yuan Shao not breaking" , obviously a fire burns Chibi, and I will make a fire for you to burn Yuan Ying, it's really awesome, and you don't need to borrow the southeast wind, just burn it directly This plan, coupled with Ben Hou's plan, will kill Yuan Shao, and if he is not burned to death, he will also be crushed by the elite cavalry.
Gongsun Bai couldn't help laughing, and waved his big hand: "Go, go back to the city, prepare to attack Yishui tomorrow night, level the enemy camp, and capture Yuan Shao alive."
At night, small boats, loaded with firewood, sulfur and saltpeter, and sprinkled with fire oil, lined up neatly in the shallow waters of the northern shore of Yishui.
Behind each of the boats was a rope connected to a manned ship, and on each stood two unlit torches made of grease and broken steps.
On the shore, more than 13,000 people from Baima Yicong and Moyun were standing neatly behind Gongsun Bai and the generals, all of them were full of energy, murderous and ready to go.
Gongsun Bai sat on the flying blood horse, looking at the lights in the Hebei Army Water Village that could be seen faintly on the opposite side of the riverbank, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Daihou, everything is ready, just wait for the fourth watch to arrive, and release the ship immediately" someone whispered.
Gongsun Bai looked at the dense boats on the bank of the river, nodded, turned around and shouted, "Go, come with me" The cavalry immediately rushed out on horseback, closely following behind Gongsun Bai and the generals, and rushed upstream.
It was late at night, and the mist on the river covered the entire river, faintly revealing the sparse lights.
The rooster crowed all over the place, and most of the Hebei soldiers were still asleep in the warm bed, snoring, one after another.
On the riverbank, the guards who had been messy in the river breeze all night were also frozen and sleepy.
The three of them were in a pile, huddled by the smokeless brazier, complaining that the changing of the guard had not yet come, and dozing off.
The night guard was Wen Chou, who, as usual, shuttled through the camp with a spear, scolding the sleepy subordinates from time to time, and directly kicked the sleeping soldiers.

After walking through the company camp for two or three miles all the way, Wen Chou subconsciously raised his eyes to the north, only to see that the north bank was still calm, and his heart was a little calm, and he continued to walk towards the east trestle bridge to inspect.
After a while, Wen Chou stood at the very end of the trestle bridge, which was the outermost end of the water village, and as far as the eye could see, the vast water mist was illuminated by the lights, like a dream, and full of a bit of mystery.
Suddenly, Wen Chou's ears pricked up, and in the night wind, he seemed to hear something unusual.
It's the sound of breaking water Coming from the other side, getting closer and louder, there seemed to be a rolling angry wave.
Wen Chou's heart moved, and he was about to listen carefully, when suddenly a firelight lit up on the surface of the river through the thick mist, and before he could react, another firelight lit up one after another.
The firelight became more and more and bigger, and in an instant they became one piece, almost obscuring the entire surface of the river, and there were red patches everywhere, illuminating the surface of the river, and even the mist that filled the river could no longer hide the slightest light. rumble One after another burst of fire jumped on the surface of the river, making a crackling sound, and the flames rushed up from time to time to burst into flames, making a loud sound.
It was countless roaring fireboats, which were swooping viciously towards the Hebei Junshui Village.
Wen Chou was suddenly startled, and shouted urgently: "Hurry up and blow the trumpet" Woooooooo The sound of the horn rose to the sky, piercing the silence of the night sky, waking up the Hebei army that was asleep, and the entire Hebei army camp was in chaos.
However, it was too late, Yuan Shao not only didn't expect Gongsun Bai to attack with a fireboat, but he didn't even expect Gongsun Bai to find a ship in a short period of time, because the ships within dozens of miles upstream and downstream on both sides of the Yishui River were all searched by him, so there was no facility to block the fireboats, so he could only let the fireships pounce on the wooden water village with skyrocketing flames.
