Han Xian's morale-boosting words played a certain role. The Bai Bo army quickly continued to move upstream firmly and divided some archers to shoot against Zhao Yun's archers.

Many soldiers really thought Han Xian’s simple words were very reasonable: the government army wanted to scare us away, doesn’t this mean that they can’t beat us?

Who would have thought that Guan Yu was not afraid of not being able to defeat him, but was just unwilling to face several enemies from different directions at the same time, and wanted to break the time difference one by one.

However, passion is the most important thing, and reality is cold. Since Zhao Yun has witnessed several actual results of "cavalry and warship shooting, but they suffered a great loss", his experience in micro-operation is obviously much richer than that of Han Xian.

In the past year and a half, I have been coming and going in the wind and sand of Youzhou and fighting with the Hu people, and my experience value has not increased in vain.

The hundreds of cavalry under Zhao Yun's command were scattered in a very wide formation and the distance was kept just right.

Because Han Xian has many people and few ships, in order to transport as many troops as possible, the ships are basically crowded. Moreover, the ships running downstream of Hukou Waterfall in the Yellow River, the upper reaches of Sanmenxia are not big and there is no superstructure covering it. Is it not a miserable thing to be shot in a open hood?

Of course, some people may be surprised - other inland river boats have not been so shabby. Can warships used in the Han River or Xiaoxiang in the south cause ships to be shipped or fighter ships?

This has to talk about the hydrology of this section of the river - in order to drive from Puyangjin into the middle reaches of the Yellow River (the narrowest, shallowest and smallest water volume among the three important tributaries of the Yellow River in this area), the draft has to be made very shallow, and the superstructure must be omitted as much as possible.

The draft of a boat in a body of water is restricted by the draft of the smallest port.

This is why Puyangjin has such a small threat to Tongguan on the other side of the shore - if you want to bypass Tongguan from the waterway and go straight into the Wei River to the city of Chang'an, you can only find such a small ship. This is also the result of the court's frequent years of investigation. In order to ensure the strategic security of the Three Auxiliary Places in Chang'an, awesome warships are not allowed to appear in this water.

The result is obvious. Han Xian could not replicate the glory of Kuo Yi and Guan Yu using his boat to break the cavalry. In such a crowded boat, Zhao Yun's men could always conquer someone on the boat as long as they shot arrows at such a big target.

Han Xian's military equipment level was so difficult that he could not even have a shield on his hands, and he was in pain in less than half a quarter of an hour.

"Follow me, all the boats docked on the north shore and divided their troops to chase Zhao Yun! Zhao Yun had hundreds of horses on both sides of the north and south. They couldn't get through the water. We just happened to break through the north shore first and then turn around to clean up the south shore!"

Han Xian finally couldn't help it and yelled and ordered the troops to dock immediately.

The Baibo thief had no training qualities and tried to line up to chase after the calculation when he went ashore, but he was soon taught by Zhao Yun - Zhao Yun could retreat and avoid fighting and not fight with you, and then used several rounds of bows and arrows to consume hundreds of casualties of Baibo's army.

"Master Qu, we have too few cavalrymen to catch up!" The army officer complained.

Han Xian calmed down and quickly changed the tactics again: "I was careless, don't chase them! Let all the crossbowmen go ashore, line up with gun arrays, spearmen outside, archers inside, go to the shore to protect the fleet, and advance water and land! We will not take long to arrive at Jieliang County, and Sun Jing is still guarding the city and waiting for us. Once we enter the city, we will not be afraid of cavalry! Cavalry can still dismount and attack the city!"

Han Xian was in a misfortune, but he had a few ideas about "protecting the ship with a step bow" in the moon formation. However, the specific formation and weapons were too far behind. At best, it only reduced the density of its own personnel, but fortunately, the coverage type was not so bad at a loss.

Han Xian spent more than half an hour shooting with Zhao Yun, and he also arched upstream for more than ten miles. It was only twenty miles away from Jieliang County. It seemed that the roof of the city tower was about to appear on the horizon.

Time gradually passed noon.

Zhao Yun also found that after the Baibo army reduced the formation density, it could no longer take advantage of shooting at the target. The key is that the Youzhou elite cavalry under Zhao Yun fought against the Hu people for one or two years. The lives of these elite soldiers were valuable. Even if they exchanged five soldiers with Baibo army for the first time to win over five.

So he gradually went further and further away, and no longer fought a war of attrition.

At the end of the stalemate, Zhao Yun's troops seemed to have made some adjustments. They pretended to have finished shooting the bow and arrow. After one contact, they directly pulled out the spear and savage and rushed up. They looked at the gap in the white Bo army formation, and broke into the junction between the two rows of gun formations, slashing a hundred archers.

If you are fighting in an array, this kind of gap will certainly not appear, but who told Han Xian to move along the river at a relatively fast speed while arranging the array. The moving military formations are basically all long snake formations, and they will inevitably be disconnected due to speed and slowness.

Zhao Yun had been holding it in for so long before he took action for the first time, so Han Xian was naturally caught off guard and suffered some losses.

Han Xian, who was furious by repeated consumption and attacks, finally thought he had caught the opportunity and shouted loudly: "Take the opportunity to entangle Zhao Yun! The whole army pursues! The enemy dares to fight in close combat, why don't you chase me? Finally, you have the opportunity to stick to the enemy!"

The Baibo Army brigade, which was more than ten times more numerous than Zhao Yun, chased them out in chaos. No matter how many people could be chased or not, they could catch up, at least they would have to chase a few miles first.

This time, Zhao Yun seemed to be out of power and escaped not as fast as the beginning. This made the confidence of chasing the party stronger and stronger, and it was easy to chase deeper without realizing it.

"Attack! Han Xian's formation is in chaos!" Guan Yu, who had been watching the edge of the hillside and woods on the banks of the Tengshui River, saw Zhao Yun seducing the enemy from the downstream to this area, and quickly waved his hand to order all his subordinates to get on the horse.

If you cannot ride a horse in the woods, it is easy to get bumpy and messy, so Guan Yu's people tie the horses to rest and wait for work.

It seems that Han Xian had preconceived ideas, thinking that the soldiers he brought this time were like the hundreds of direct descendants of Zhao Yun, who only knew how to ride and shoot but was not good at melee battles and rushing.

Then let him see the true strength of the Youzhou cavalry.

Han Xian was chasing deep, and suddenly heard the horse's hooves rumble on the left, the sound was like thunder and rain, and the hail was howling. Fortunately, he had led his troops and quickly ordered the entire army to stop advancing and immediately formed a formation.

If Guan Yu attacks again, he will be discovered by Han Xian at least six or seven miles away. It is impossible that he will have too sudden effects.

There are several miles of woods closest to the river on both sides of the Tengshui River Valley. As long as Han Xian is not stupid, he will not take the initiative to chase Zhao Yun to the edge of the woods.

So Guan Yu knew that he asked Zhao Yun to lure the enemy not to expect Zhao Yun to lure a surprise fighter. As long as he could lure a situation where "Han Xian had to turn to defense immediately" and prevent Han Xian from fleeing back to the ship, Zhao Yun's lure the enemy would be considered successful.

When it comes to this situation where you have to fight with dignity, the rest depends on Guan Yu himself.

Han Xian shouted wildly, and the messenger went out to restrain the troops as much as possible. In the five minutes when Guan Yu's main force rushed through the six miles, Han Xian barely arranged the formation seven or eight points. It was definitely too late to completely list the perfection. The few rounds of bows and arrows before the battle could only be freely shot and randomly placed.

Guan Yu's goal was very clear. He rushed straight to Han Xian's flag formation. He didn't ask for sure to kill Han Xian, but as long as the civilian armed forces like Bai Bo killed the command system, their morale would definitely be bleak and collapsed on the whole line.

"Boom~" The iron cavalry hit the spearmen, and the formation of the sword and shield soldiers and the archers was instantly beaten up. The casualties at that moment were even more frequent, and no one could say that he had obtained a bargain.

However, the gap between elite soldiers and militias is often reflected in subsequent protracted wars.

After Guan Yu used a wedge-shaped formation to disrupt several sections of the Han-Sian army, Han Xian soon discovered that the negative disadvantages of his excessive formation were immediately fully revealed.

There is no way. I was chasing Zhao Yun just now, of course the formation will be too wide, disconnected, and lack depth.

The front width is good for infantry to surround the enemy, but if it is broken through by the cavalry's wedge-shaped center, it is another matter.

"I heard that Guan Yu has also killed several famous generals in Youzhou! No, I can't fight with him. If I think about whether to fight the formation or not, my life is more important!"

Han Xian was very self-aware as a general of the rebel army. His awareness of saving his life was even stronger than Zhang Rao. Seeing this, he tried his best to let the friendly troops on both sides approach the middle, trying to surround him tightly.

Seeing this, Guan Yu was not good at rushing into the crowd, so he cut the flanks on both sides, chopping them up like peeling onions, and quickly isolated Han Xian's main formation from the Baibo army on the far side of the left and right wings.

Soon, the Baibo army, which was too long in front, and the people at both ends of the distance saw the flag formation of Qu Shuai, who looked surrounded from a distance and was still retreating. He didn't know what the situation was, and he lost further command. He couldn't help but feel depressed and ran back to the river, just asking to return to the ship.

"Don't be messed up! Don't be messed up! Retreat but not messed up! Guan Yu's number of soldiers is less than 30% of us, hold it!" Han Xian was still trying to save the situation, but in the end he was powerless to turn the world back.

Guan Yu also wanted to pick soft persimmons first, and saw that Han Xian's flag formation was always like a hedgehog, but the two wings that were cut off from command retreated first, so he went to chase and kill the defeated soldiers.

For a moment, many boats were covered with blood on the side of the ships. Some small boats saw cavalry rushing nearby and were afraid that they would jump up to grab the boat. They all went to the river and completely gave up on their way. Instead, they went downstream, using oars and oars, just to retreat.

Some defeated soldiers grabbed the side of the ship and tried to climb onto the ship. The soldiers on the ship were afraid of being entangled by more and more people, so they drew their swords to cut off the fingers of their comrades in the climbing ship, hoping to put the ship into the water as soon as possible. There were hundreds of broken fingers floating in the water by the river.

Han Xian couldn't count how many casualties he had paid, and he relied on his confidant to escape, so he fled back to the ship and never dared to fight the wealth of the city's Salt Lake.

The battle lasted until the evening, and Guan Yu's troops began to clean the battlefield.

If he insisted on killing Han Xian, Guan Yu thought he could do it, but he did not dare to take the lives of his subordinates too much to fill it. He knew very well that coming to Hedong was just a measure for the imperial court to temporarily resettle him. These soldiers and horses were accumulated by the elder brother in his hometown, and hundreds of casualties were enough to feel distressed.

Therefore, it would be fine if you only want to defeat, but not to annihilate it. Anyway, no matter how well Hedong is, the court would not seal this territory to the elder brother, so why bother to work hard?

This time, Han Xian attracted Han Xian. In order to calm down internal troubles, Guan Yu killed a group of the salt tyrants. Secondly, since he could not escape, he would have to hurt the other party and buy peace for several months. Let Bai Bojun know that Guan Yu was in one day, so he would not dare to invade the south for one day.

After cleaning the battlefield and returning to the army, Zhao Yun also comforted him: "Brother, don't worry, there is no difference between killing Han Xian and not killing. Han Xian is not a general. If Bai Bo's army has him or not, it may not be much stronger in combat strategy. If Han Xian kills Han Xian, can he still recommend many generals with a moderate talent, and it will be the same in the end?"

Guan Yu sighed: "I think so too, so I can't bear to bear the casualties of the robe and don't want to fight to the death."

The two chatted and had already returned to Jieliang County. The group of people rested overnight. Before dawn the next day, they received an urgent messenger from the county seat Anyi. They were sent by the prefect Fan Ling.

"Guan Duwei! The Lord of the Fu asked for help! In the northeast, Yang Feng's troops of Baibo's army suddenly came out of Wangwu Mountain and flowed down the river valley. There were probably 10,000 or 20,000 people. Yang Feng raised the banner and said that he was to respond to Han Xian and attack the counties of the Salt Lake. Now he has surrounded the upstream Anyi County!

Before being besieged, the Duke sent me to ask for help. The commander quickly leads the main force back to Anyi! It is said that there are powerful generals in Yang Feng's army who have killed two Qu Junhou who guarded the city under the prefect's tent."

Guan Yu narrowed his eyes and stroked his beard and wondered: "Yang Feng came faster than I thought. He would be so active in rescuing friendly troops. It seems that the unity within the Baibo thief was beyond our expectations."
