When the order was handed down, tens of thousands of soldiers of the Tao Army, who were in full swing, frantically crashed into the chaotic enemy group with unfinished killing opportunities.
White Horse City is very close to the Yellow River, there is still a water village built on the bank, there were originally nearly 100 large and small rafts, but in order to cross the river for the Yuan army on the north bank, most of the rafts have been transferred to the north bank.
Yuan Shao's main force was now transferred to Yanjin by the pottery merchants, Liyang on the north bank could not send troops to reinforce, and the defeated troops of Yan Liang on the south bank did not have enough rafts, so his defeated troops crossed the river, so he naturally fell into a dilemma.
Nearly five or six thousand defeated soldiers rushed to seize the ship, intending to flee to Liyang on the north shore by boat.
There were few rafts, but now when the soldiers were in a panic, everyone was only concerned about fleeing for their lives, and when the ship was not full, the boarders could not wait to force the ship to sail to the shore.
In a short time, more than 100 rafts had already left the ferry, but there were still more than 3,000 Yuan soldiers on the shore, and they had not yet been able to board the rafts.
At this time, the potters had already led a large army to chase after them, and they were crushed all the way forward, and the routs crowded on the bank pushed each other, and hundreds of people were squeezed into the Yellow River.
The potters rode into the water village, rampage, wanton killing, as of the evening, another 3,000 Yuan troops were killed, blood flowed into the Yellow River, most of the river surface was almost red with blood.
When the last rays of light set, the slaughter ended.
In the Dutou water camp, a blood-soaked banner with the word "Tao" fluttered in the wind, as if it was showing off its might to the enemy who fled to the river.
From White Horse City to Dutou, there are corpses everywhere along the road, and the bloody road stretches for several miles.
On the front line of the ferry, except for more than 1,000 soldiers, the rest of the Yuan army, who did not escape to the boat, were either killed or drowned by the rolling Yellow River.
Drifting on the warships of the Yellow River, those soldiers who were lucky enough to escape their lives looked at the tragic scene on the other side with palpitations, and there was only deep fear in their hearts.
Fear of potters.
The legend of the true dragon of Tiance is a little more ingrained in their hearts.
The soldiers of Yuan Jun, who had escaped, were all terrified and gloomy, facing the Tao army's bravado, but they could only bear it silently.
"This potter, so deceitful, let me lose to such a point today, what face do I have to see the lord?"
Yan Liang sighed at the enemy, feeling ashamed and ashamed, and faintly a little jealous of the potter.
It's a pity that the defeat has been decided, and Yan Liang has no choice but to swallow this evil breath and lead 3,000 remnants of the army to retreat towards Liyang on the north bank.
"The Di host wins the White Horse Raid and gains 1 charisma, and the host's current charisma is 60."
Looking at the enemy soldiers fleeing away in embarrassment, and looking at the corpses lying all over the place, a smile of relief appeared on the young face of the potter.
In this battle, nearly 7,000 enemies were annihilated, the cavalry of the Yuan army was severely damaged, and the first victory in the decisive battle against Yuan Shao was achieved, which will greatly boost the morale of the soldiers and soldiers, and it can be said that it is a very rich harvest.
"Husband, let's win a big victory, do you want to continue to stick to the white horse" Lu Lingji said excitedly.
The potter shook his head, "Although Yuan Shao lost a game, his strength is still far superior to ours, this battle is just a slight setback of his spirit, delaying his steps to the south, the white horse is not a decisive battle." ” The potters were not proud, and immediately ordered to abandon the White Horse City, and tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians retreated all the way to Guandu.
Yanjian, on the north bank of the Yellow River.
More than 100,000 Yuan troops were mighty, lined up five miles north of the shore, and the momentum was monstrous, which made the wind and clouds change color.
Yuan Shao, dressed in golden armor, stood proudly, staring intently at the south bank of the Yellow River with a cold gaze.
There was a faint anxiety in his eyes.
Since receiving the news that the potters were about to attack Yanjin, he led the main army to the north bank of Yanjin, where he waited for a day, waiting for the main force of the potters to be annihilated in Yanjin.
What annoyed Yuan Shao was that he had been blowing the river breeze here all day, but he hadn't even waited for half a figure of Tao Jun.
"I haven't seen the shadow of the enemy army for a long time, I'm afraid this is a plan for the pottery thief to attack the west, my lord, I'm a little worried about the white horse."
Tian Feng, who followed left and right, frowned.
Yuan Shao's figure shook slightly, and a little jealousy flashed in his eyes.
Not long ago, he had received information from the Fu Zhi who stayed in Liyang, claiming that he had found the banner of the potters in the Baima area, and suspected that the potters had attacked Yanjin as a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and asked Yuan Shao to return to the division as soon as possible.
Yuan Shao didn't, and still decided to wait on the front line in Yanjin.
His army of hundreds of thousands was exhausted by the pottery merchants like monkeys, which Yuan Shao couldn't accept.
"Yuan Hao, you have to be calm, don't be in a hurry."
Yuan Shao reverted to Tian Feng in a confident tone.
The speaker exited, and a scout galloped in.
"Report, Baima urgently, Tao Shang personally led an army of 20,000 to attack Baima, General Yan was defeated and lost, losing 7,000 soldiers."
Thundered A thunderbolt fell on his head, and Yuan Shao's mind was blank in an instant, and the blood in his chest surged, and he actually had the urge to vomit blood.
Sure enough, Tian Feng expected that he really fell for the potter's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain "Pottery thief, how dare you play me like this" Yuan Shao was so angry that he gritted his teeth and roared almost like crazy, which made everyone on the left and right frightened.
With the strength of the first prince in the world, he led 150,000 foot horsemen to the south, originally thought that he could flatten the potters, who would have thought that the first battle was tricked by the potters, and was led by the nose to transfer, and lost 7,000 soldiers and horses in one battle.
A mere 7,000 soldiers and horses was not a heavy loss for Yuan Shao's army of more than 100,000 troops, but the defeat in this first battle was related to the morale of the army.
Moreover, the person who failed was Yan Liang, the first fierce general in Hebei, which was another heavy blow to the morale of the army.

At this time, Yuan Shao had the illusion of being slapped in front of the potter.
Deep humiliation, shame without shame.
"Lord, Feng said early that the pottery thief is scheming, we shouldn't have come to Yanjin in the first place, if my army is still in Liyang, we can support Yan Liang in time, and there will be no defeat."
Tian Feng sighed helplessly, and in his words, there was a faint sense of resentment that Yuan Shao did not listen to the advice.
Yuan Shao's face sank, and he suddenly showed a little embarrassment, and couldn't help glaring at Xu You.
You must know that at the beginning, Xu You supported him to go west to Yanjin, and now he has fallen into the plan of the pottery thief, how can he not blame Xu You.
Xu You's eyes rolled, but he hurriedly said: "Yuan Hao's words sound like a little complaining about the lord, you are not right, even if the pottery thief played the trick of making a move, but Yan Liang has more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, including 5,000 iron cavalry, such a powerful force, but he was defeated by the pottery thief, in the final analysis, it is still a problem of his own disadvantage, how can he blame the lord." ” Xu You's words took the opportunity to push his responsibility clean, and built a ladder for Yuan Shao by the way.
Yuan Shao's face suddenly softened, and before Tian Feng could speak again, he shook his head and sighed in disappointment, "This Yan Zizheng, known as my No. 1 fierce general in Hebei, I also gave him so many cavalry, I didn't expect him to lose so badly, it's really disappointing to me." ” Tian Feng didn't know how to justify, so he had to look at Feng Ji Feng Ji understood, and he was busy sneering and said: "Don't worry about the lord, with the lord's 150,000 male soldiers, what's the big deal about a small defeat, it can't change the general trend of the pottery thief's defeat at all."
"What Yuan Tu said is very true, for today's plan, Tian thinks that the main public should lead the whole division to return to Liyang, no longer need to compete with the pottery thief, directly lead the army to cross the Yellow River, if the pottery thief dares to continue to stay in White Horse City, we will just gather him on the front line of White Horse."
The two Hebei strategists spoke one after another, which calmed Yuan Shao's anger and made him angry for a while.
At this time, Xu Yu hurriedly glanced at Yuan Tan, suggesting that he asked Yuan Shao to fight in order to gain military power Feng Ji was astute, and without waiting for Yuan Tan to speak, he hurriedly said: "Yan Liang's new defeat is not suitable for him to be a striker anymore. ” Yan Liangwen is ugly, known as Hebei Shuangxiong, and his strength is comparable.
On the occasion of Ji Jinyan, he took advantage of the situation and glanced at Wen Chou, who hurriedly stepped forward and said angrily: "The last general is willing to act as a striker and go to the soup for the lord, and he will not hesitate to do anything." ” Wen Chou, like Yan Liang, has won Yuan Shao's trust, and now Wen Chou took the initiative to ask for war, and there is a discipline to protect him, of course Yuan Shao has no reason not to allow it.
Yuan Shao then readily agreed, sent Wenchou to lead 20,000 elite soldiers, and he led more than 100,000 main forces to return to Liyang first, and then forcibly crossed the Yellow River to take the white horse.
It's a pity that Tian Feng's plan was miscalculated.
The potters were not so stupid, with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, nesting in the small city of Baima, waiting for Yuan Shao's army to attack.
When Yuan Shao's army crossed the Yellow River menacingly, and when it reached the White Horse City, only one person was left to go to the empty city.
The Yellow River is no better than the Yangtze River, and Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses are too many, and if they want to cross it by force, the potters can't stop it at all.
Baima is also a small city, the surrounding terrain is wide, which is conducive to the battle of large armies, if the potters are stupid enough to defend here, it is equivalent to giving up the advantage of geographical advantages to Yuan Shao.
Just before Yuan Shao crossed the river, the potters had already led the main army and retreated all the way to Guandu.
Guandu is located in the upper reaches of the chasm, which is Bianshui, and the chasm canal connects Gongluo in the west and Huaisi in the east, and Guandu is the hub on this canal.
The Central Plains area is flat, but when the terrain reaches the Guandu area, it begins to narrow, and it becomes easy to defend and difficult to attack, which can just offset the advantage of Yuan Shao's many soldiers Moreover, Guandu is close to Xudu, which is convenient for the supply of military food for the Tao army, but it can extend the supply line of the Yuan army, and the supply of military supplies is inconvenient.
Such an excellent place is exactly the one chosen by the potters, and it is also the only place to choose the decisive battle. isjgy:
