Chapter 285

The various warlords hurriedly summoned their cavalry units.

However, an awkward scene appeared.

Because the equipment and specific combat power of their cavalry were different.

Putting them together was like a hodgepodge.

The cavalry under Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, and others were still decent, at least they looked like something.

But the cavalry under Kong Rong and Zhang Yang could be described as crooked melons and split dates without any exaggeration.

Soon, this mixed cavalry unit lined up and, led by their respective commanders, rushed toward the Yellow River ferry.

At this time, it was already approaching dawn.

The early morning sun slowly rose from the horizon.

The various warlords had been tossed around like this and hadn't slept well all night.

However.

Even if they wanted to sleep now, they couldn't.

If Gongsun Zan really defected to Dong Zhuo's side, everyone would suffer.

Looking at the slightly exhausted figures of the various warlords, Yuan Shao said:

"Gentlemen, the only plan for now is to capture Hulao Pass as quickly as possible!"

"Hulao Pass and Sishui Pass support each other."

"If we can take Hulao Pass."

"The Sishui Pass guarded by Gu Linzhi will lose its function."

"At that time, he will only have the option of retreating to defend Luoyang."

"But near Luoyang, besides Sishui Pass and Hulao Pass, there is no other danger to defend."

"In other words, as long as we can take Hulao Pass, the advantage of this battle will still be on our side!"

The various warlords agreed with Yuan Shao.

And this was the only option to break the situation in the current state!

Therefore.

Everyone exerted all their strength, preparing to flatten Hulao Pass.

Although the various warlords had made no progress in capturing Hulao Pass yesterday.

But this didn't mean they would give up so easily.

After all.

Compared to the famous Gu Yi, this "nobody" Zhang Liao obviously looked much easier to deal with.

……

Near the Yellow River ferry

Gongsun Zan led the Youzhou Legion under his command and stayed here.

They didn't have any boats in their hands; to cross the Yellow River, they still needed to build boats first.

However……

Gongsun Zan didn't need to be so troublesome.

Because his real purpose wasn't to return to Youzhou at all, but to attract the cavalry units under the various warlords here!

Sure enough.

Soon.

Accompanied by a chaotic and irregular sound of hoofbeats.

The coalition's cavalry units, led by their respective commanders, also arrived at the Yellow River ferry!

Except for Liu Bei, who didn't send anyone, the other six warlords all sent their trusted generals as the leaders of the troops.

Yuan Shao sent Yan Liang, Yuan Shu sent Ji Ling;

Cao Cao sent Cao Hong, Tao Qian sent Jiang Shi;

As for Zhang Yang and Kong Rong, they sent third-rate cannon fodder generals.

It wasn't that they wanted to hide their strength, but that there really wasn't any impressive talent under their command.

When the coalition warlords attacked Dong Zhuo last time, Kong Rong had a general named Wu Anguo who was good at using a hammer!

But in a battle against Guan Hai not long ago, Wu Anguo died after being hit by a stray arrow.

Since then, Kong Rong's camp was left with only cannon fodder characters.

And Zhang Yang was even more miserable than Kong Rong!

As a Bingzhou native, he wasn't well-regarded in Bingzhou.

After all.

Those capable Bingzhou generals.

Such as Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Cao Xing, Gao Shun, and others, had long since joined Dong Zhuo's camp.

What was left for Zhang Yang were all small fry.

Looking at the six generals chasing him, as well as the cavalry units under their command.

A cruel smile appeared in Gongsun Zan's eyes!

The next moment.

Countless arrows shot from the reed marshes on the bank of the Yellow River ferry toward the coalition's cavalry units!

The leader was none other than Gao Shun!

After Gu Yi's military system reform, the Trapping Battalion didn't just have armored soldiers; it also had many elite archers using divine arm bows!

At this moment.

Facing the ambush of the Trapping Battalion.
