The Cao army in the first three lines of defense rushed into Liyang City, and quickly drove the panic of tens of thousands of defenders, and the entire Liyang City was in chaos, and more than 10,000 Cao soldiers rushed to the Yellow River as if the end of the world was coming.
The Gongsun army behind them swarmed over, and they were about to catch up, and the Cao army that was behind was routed, and they threw down their weapons one after another, raised their hands and surrendered, allowing the Gongsun army to pass by like a stormy wave.
"Pass on the order of the Duke of Wei, kill the captives without permission" A wave of cries soon spread throughout Liyang City, and Cao Jun, who was still fleeing for his life, stopped one after another, threw down his weapons, and consciously raised his hands and retreated to the side.
"Kill the captives without permission and behead", although it is an order to the Gongsun army, but for the rout of the Cao army, this sentence is far more powerful than "disarm and do not kill".
They are all the children of the Han Dynasty, and many people are forced to join the Cao army, so Gongsun Bai will naturally not be as cold-blooded and ruthless as he treats foreign captives.
In this way, the Cao army that fled in front stopped one after another, threw down their weapons, and got out of the way, so that the iron cavalry of the Gongsun army went out of the south gate of Liyang City unimpeded and went straight to the north bank of the Yellow River.
The river was densely packed with Cao Jun, scrambling to run towards the boats on the river, but they were huddled together in a hurry, pushing and pulling each other, and there were not many people on board for a while.
Thundered The iron cavalry of the Gongsun army galloped forward, and countless horses' hooves knocked on the ground, making the river beach seem to be shaking, and the river water was rippling with it, and the faces of the Cao army were like earth.
"I'm willing to surrender, please spare my life" "I'm willing to surrender, please spare my life" "I'm willing to surrender, please spare my life" I don't know who was the first to ask for surrender, the call spread quickly, and the Cao army on the entire river bank fell to his knees and shouted in a hurry.
"Throw down your weapons, retreat to Liyang, spare you from dying" Zhao Yun, who was chasing after him first, shouted loudly, and all the Cao troops immediately woke up like a dream, threw down the weapons of a river beach, and rushed from both sides of the Gongsun army to Liyang City behind, and even some Cao Jun who had just boarded the boat jumped into the water, raised their hands and went north, and retreated to Liyang.
Zhao Yun took the lead, galloped to the river beach, looked at the shadow of the sail on the river that had left the shore for hundreds of meters, showed a look of disdain in his eyes, and shouted: "Che Zhou, you can't run."
Before the words fell, there was already a burst of exclamations on the river.
From the upper reaches of the river, a dark cloud suddenly appeared, occupying a small half of the river, down the water, and rushing straight to the sailboat of the Cao army.
In that dark cloud, dozens of fighting ships came riding the wind and waves, and the sails hung high on the thick masts of buckets, drumming in the wind, and hunting sounded.
On the largest of these warships, Gao Lan, the general of the Gongsun Army, stood in the center with a long knife in his hand, and Liao Hua and Pei Yuanshao stood beside him.
Compared with a behemoth like a fighting ship, a sailboat on the river is like a mouse in front of an elephant, not at all on the same level.
In this kind of battle, there is no need for any tactics at all, not even crossbow arrows, just just crash into them.
In Cao Jun's fleet of fishing boats, Che Xuan's heart was sad, but he still fought with trapped beasts, and shouted to the soldiers who were rocking the oars: "Hurry, hurry" However, it was too late Boom, boom, boom One after another, the battleships slammed into each other viciously, drowning the shadow of the sail in an instant, and the huge crashing sound, the cracking of the wood in Kerala, the sound of the rushing water waves, and the sound of falling into the water, were a big bang for a while.
Cao Jun's fishing boat was smashed to pieces in an instant, and countless people fell into the water.
The boat was also knocked over by a fighting ship, and the hull broke apart from the middle, and all the people in the boat fell into the water.
"Help" The car does not know how to water, and after falling into the water, it flutters hard, but the body is still sinking, and it is unconsciously shouting loudly in fright, and just shouting the word "help" and pouring a mouthful of river water into his mouth.
At the moment of life and death, he suddenly grabbed a rope as thick as a baby's wrist, and hurriedly grabbed the life-saving rope tightly under great joy, and climbed up desperately, and his body also rose with the rope.
Finally, his body rose into the air, his feet were out of the water, and he slowly opened his eyes unconsciously, and then saw Liao Hua looking at him with a sly smile.
In a panic, the chariot forgot his situation for a while, suddenly let go of the rope, and his body fell into the river again, but the fast-eyed Liao Hua shook the rope, wrapped his body, and then threw it up, and the chariot was swept to the battleship, and then fell the deck, and was firmly held down by the soldiers of the Gongsun Army around him, and tied firmly.
The sun slowly rose, shining on the ripples of the river, shining in circles of golden light.
Above the river, calm had returned, except for a few scattered pieces of broken planks and oars, floating on the water, indicating that a fierce battle had just taken place here.
In the downstream direction, a shadow of a sail that obscured the sky and the sun gradually disappeared, disappearing in the golden light of the morning sun, and then looking upstream, there was a black and oppressive battleship against the water, heading west.
At the head of Liyang City, the banner of "Gongsun" was fluttering high.
Liyang County Ya became a temporary military command post for the Southern Expeditionary Army.
In the hall of the county government, Gongsun Bai, Guo Jia, Zhao Yun, Zhang He, Zhang Liao and other major generals were surrounding a sand table, discussing endlessly.
As early as a few years before the start of the war, Gongsun Bai had ordered Zhang He to recruit young and strong fishermen on the north bank of the Yellow River to train the navy, mainly practicing the art of boating and water warfare, although it was not as good as the Jiangdong navy and the Jingzhou navy on the south bank of the Yangtze River, but on the Yellow River, it was already the strongest navy, plus the ships were strong and arrowy, enough to cross the surface of the Yellow River without encountering any threatening challenges.
Gongsun Bai ordered Gao Ran to lead 20,000 sailors to block the surface of the Yellow River in the south of Jizhou all the way, so that he could be completely invincible, even if he lost the battle of crossing the river, he did not have to worry about causing trouble to cross the river and threatening the safety of Jizhou.
On the beach, densely packed with tree branches, it was the military stronghold of Cao's army on the south bank of the Yellow River.
Since his debut, Gongsun Bai has fought Yuan Shao, Zhan Wuhuan, Po Xianbei, Ding Liaodong, Ping and Zhou, swept the Xiongnu, conquered the desert, as well as Goguryeo, Fuyu and Sanhan, but this is the first time that he attaches so much importance to his opponent, and it is also the first time to leave a way out after defeat.
After analyzing and analyzing, Gongsun Bai soon found the gap between his military horses and Cao Cao, and the gap was not in the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, not in the equipment, not in the grain and grass, but in the ability of the generals.
In terms of strategists, Gongsun Bai was most pleased that due to the ambiguity between himself and Liu Xie, Xun Yu and Xun You's uncle and nephew, who were loyal to the Han family, were suspicious of Cao Cao and prematurely separated from Cao Cao's core strategic layer, otherwise even if he had Guo Jia, Fu Zhu and Tian Feng, it would be difficult to compete with the huge strategist group composed of Xun Yu, Xun You, Jia Xu, Cheng Yu, Man Chong, Liu Ye and others.
However, due to frustration and Tian Feng, the two did not get along well with the old department of Gongsun Jun, and they have always been at odds with Guo Jia, who has a flamboyant personality and debauchery behavior.
Gongsun Bai had no choice but to leave Fu Zhi and Tian Feng in Yecheng, which formed a situation of Guo Jia's independent support, which really seemed a little lonely.
In terms of generals, there are nearly 30 warriors on Cao Cao's side who can be named in the romance, and the generals named by Gongsun Bai on his side are not even half of Cao Cao's.
Moreover, although the overall strength of the generals under his command is higher than that of Cao's army, the command value is at a disadvantage.
In marching battles, the command value is far more important than the force value.
If it comes to martial arts, the three Lejin may not be able to fight Yan Liang, but if the two lead the troops to fight independently, Yan Liang is probably not Lejin's opponent.
Gongsun Bai knows this, and Guo Jia naturally knows it, so the opinions of the two are almost the same.
Cao Cao can deploy defenses for thousands of miles and occupy various military points, but Gongsun Bai, who has few soldiers and few generals, cannot fully blossom, so he can only concentrate his forces and attack one of them.
Of course, the most important guarantee of this tactic is based on the blockade of the Yellow River south of Jizhou by Gongsun naval warships, otherwise it is likely that Cao Cao will take advantage of the weakness to enter, cross the river to the north, and go straight to Gongsun Bai's rear lair.

History is always strikingly similar, and after deliberation, everyone unanimously chose the point of attack to be the White Horse, which is the same as that of Yuan Shaofa Cao, because the White Horse is the closest strategic point to the south of Liyang.
Gongsun Bai asked: "The white horse guards Zhang Xiu and Liu Yan led an army of 20,000 to defend this place, who can be the vanguard and capture this place?"
Before the words fell, one of them rose up and roared loudly: "The last general is willing to lead the flying wolf to ride as the vanguard military horse, and take the White Horse City lightly within three days."
When Gongsun Bai heard this, he was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped, because the first person to ask for battle was none other than the famous head of the Four Courtyard Pillars of Hebei, the general Yan Liang is also.
White Horse is the place where Yan Liang became famous, in that battle he killed Song Xian, one of the eight strong generals under Lu Bu, and killed Wei Xu, one of the other eight strong generals, and what was even more amazing was that he only used twenty to defeat the famous Cao army general Xu Huang; However, it was also the place where he died, and all the amazing things in front of him were only fulfilled in that battle, and he was stabbed by Guan Yu in the midst of thousands of troops.
No matter what, the White Horse is an ominous place for Yan Liang after all, where would Gongsun Bai dare to risk letting him lead the army to that ominous place alone Fortunately, Yan Liang had just asked for battle, and the other generals were not far behind, and they all moved forward to ask for battle, and finally Gongsun Bai considered it again and again and chose the combination of Zhang Liao and Gao Shun.
As the head of the five good generals, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun, who once defeated Liu Bei, Gongsun Bai is naturally completely relieved that the two of them are leading the army, and more importantly, the two have not yet made an inch of merit after their new investment, and they urgently need a chance to prove themselves.
It is not only Zhang Liao and Gao Shun who need to be proven, but also the 800 camps and the Sanssouci Army who went to the battlefield for the first time, and everyone naturally understands what Gongsun Bai means, and they are no longer fighting each other at the moment.
