Gongsun Zan took Zou Dan and Guan Jing and fled, running for ten miles in one breath. When he looked back, he saw that Zhao Yun was not chasing him, so he was able to catch his breath.
Taking stock of the troops, it seemed like there were still 6,000 people around, so I felt a little at ease.
Seeing the sergeant running all the way, he was a little tired. The most important thing was that he was tired too.
He ordered, "I think the enemy will not come back. Let's rest here for a while and then go back to join the army."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard loud killing cries from all directions, as if there were countless people arriving.
"Don't leave Gongsun Zan"
"Capture Gongsun Zan alive"
Yan Liang and Wen Chou came hand in hand and fought out from the side to capture Gongsun Zan alive.
Gongsun Zan was so frightened that he almost dismounted from his horse. Fortunately, Zou Dan and Guan Jing stopped him, so he was not too embarrassed.
Seeing that Gongsun Zan was acting awkwardly and seemed unreliable, the two looked at each other and made up their minds.
If the Lord humiliates his ministers and dies, since there is no way to escape, it is difficult to simply die in battle, but I want it to be a vigorous one.
"Lord, wait a moment, we are willing to fight to the death to win a way for the army to survive."
After saying that, before Gongsun Zan could react, the two of them rushed forward to fight Yan Liang and Wen Chou.
Yan Liang and Wen Chou naturally did not reject anyone who came, and they were eager for someone to come and die.
Indeed, how could such an unknown young man be his opponent? In less than ten rounds, the two of them were already weak and looked like they could not withstand it.
Only then did Gongsun Zan realize that the two of them were preparing to use their lives to gain a chance of survival for themselves.
It's a pity that the starting point is good, but the strength is not enough. Seeing that they were dying, but now that I had nothing to do, I felt very anxious.
While he was in a hurry, he suddenly saw a group of people coming from behind. Gongsun Zan looked up and saw that it was Guan Yu and Zhang Fei who had arrived with reinforcements.
Gongsun Zan was overjoyed and shouted, "Two generals, please help save my men."
Without Gongsun Zan's orders, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had already discovered that Zou Dan and Guan Jing were in danger.
Seeing this situation, one person dealt with each other. Guan Yu went to fight with Yan Liang. Zhang Fei naturally went to find Wen Chou. He didn't have enough fun in the last battle, and he wanted to regain his position this time.
Just two bangs were heard, Zhang Fei and Wen Chou were at war with each other, and Guan Yu was also entangled with Yan Liang.
Zou Dan and Guan Jing narrowly escaped death. They were both a little exhausted and came to Gongsun Zan in a daze.
The three of them were all crying, feeling like they were surviving a disaster. Sit back and watch the two brothers Guan and Zhang fight against the two heroes from Hebei.
The broadsword faced the long sword, and the two spears faced the snake spear. The four of them fought for fifty rounds, but the outcome was still indistinguishable. The sergeants watching on both sides were stunned and burst into cheers. Gongsun Zan never expected that their martial arts were so good that they would have a slight chance of winning this time.
Unfortunately, things always develop in the opposite direction.
Just as Gongsun Zan was thinking about it, suddenly dust started flying behind him, and Zhao Yun led his army.
When Gongsun Zan saw this, without saying a word, he took the defeated generals with his remaining troops and fled. He didn't even say hello to Guan Zhang, and soon ran away without a trace.
Seeing this, Zhao Yun did not pursue him. Instead, he mounted his horse with a gun and committed suicide at Guan Yu, intending to kill one of them first.
He was about to succeed, but Guan Yu was very vigilant. When he saw the flash of Han Qiang, he knew there was danger. When enemy help arrived, he took the opportunity to step aside.
He glanced sideways and saw that it was Zhao Yun. His heart was boiling with fighting spirit, and the sword in his hand was thirsty.
But when I thought of my elder brother's instructions and looked around, Gongsun Zan had already escaped, so I had no choice but to shout helplessly.
"Third brother, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, retreat quickly."
With that said, he left the fighting area, retreated to his own soldiers and horses, and waited for Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei heard his second brother's cry, although he didn't understand what was going on. But he still withdrew from the battlefield, shouting a little dissatisfied.
"Ugly thing, my second brother called me, I will fight you to the death next time."
"Black face, I'm waiting for you," Wen Chou said not to be outdone.
Seeing Zhang Fei coming back, Guan Yu didn't hesitate and took them back to the camp.
Zhao Yun, Yan Liang and Wen Chou met together and did not pursue them. They surrendered to the defeated troops and went back to resume their lives.
Let us also say that after Gongsun Zan left the two brothers Guan and Zhang, he took his own troops and fled. Encountering Zhang Liao's ambush on the road, the entire army was almost wiped out.
Later, Liu Bei was still worried about his brothers and asked Yan Gang to lend him 5,000 troops to follow behind. He met Gongsun Zan and saved his life. On the way, they met Guan and Zhang and their own soldiers.
So they gathered together and escorted Gongsun Zan back to the camp. Seeing this, Zhang Liao did not pursue him and returned to the camp to resume his duties. He was speechless all night.
After losing two battles in a row, Gongsun Zan became a little angry and prepared to use all his strength to fight Yuan Shao.
The next day, Gongsun Zan assigned an army of 20,000 to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to lead. The troops and horses were divided into two groups, the left and right groups. They were as powerful as wings.
General Yan Gang was sent as the vanguard, accompanied by ten thousand white horses. Gongsun Zan led the middle army and stood on the bridge. A large red circled gold-lined flag with the word "marshal" was erected in front of the horse. Let Liu Bei lead his troops and respond from behind.
Yuan Shao sent out 80,000 troops and horses, with Yan Liang and Wen Chou as the vanguard, each leading 50,000 troops, divided into two groups: left and right. Order those on the left to resist Gongsun Zan's right army, and those on the right to resist Gongsun Zan's left army.
Zhao Yun was then ordered to lead 20,000 infantrymen into the formation. Yuan Shao led tens of thousands of horse and infantry troops, and Zhang Liao and others responded later.
Gongsun Zan's army beat drums from Chen hour until Si hour, but Shao's army did not advance.
Yan Gang couldn't hold himself back, so he led ten thousand white horses to follow him, shouting and shouting, and went straight to Zhao Yun.
When Zhao Yun saw Yan Gang's troops coming, he ordered the soldiers to lie down and remain still. Until they were very close, with a wave of their big hand, the crossbowmen fired thousands of arrows.
Baima Yicong was originally very powerful, but when he met his nemesis, the crossbowman, he would still suffer from hatred. Suddenly the formation was in chaos and many died.
Yan Gang knew that he had been ambushed and hurriedly led his troops back, but Zhao Yun stood up with a gun and stabbed him to death. Gongsun Zan's army was defeated.
The two armies of Guan and Zhang on the left and right wanted to come to rescue, but they were blocked by Yan Liang and Wen Chou with their troops and horses.
Shao's army advanced together and fought straight to the border bridge. When Zhao Yun arrived, he first beheaded the general holding the flag and chopped down the embroidered flag.
When Gongsun Zan saw the embroidered flag cut down, he returned to his horse and walked off the bridge to join Liu Bei.
Zhao Yun led his troops and rushed straight to the rear army. He bumped into Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei. He drew his spear and leaped on his horse to attack them.
The two looked at each other, danced their weapons, and fought Zhao Yun in a double battle.
Facing the wheel battle, Zhao Yun was not afraid and fought with them casually, seemingly not using his full strength.
Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei also knew about this situation, and they were anxious and didn't know how to escape.
Suddenly, loud shouts were heard from behind the mountain, and a group of men and horses flashed out. The leader was Gongsun Yue. After recuperating in his hometown for a period of time, he was afraid that his eldest brother would be in trouble, so he mobilized all his troops and came to help him.
Gongsun Zan was overjoyed to see him, so he joined forces to fight Zhao Yun.
Baima Yicong saw that his lord was still there, and his own reinforcements had arrived. They also gathered together to fight Zhao Yun's troops.
Zhao Yun saw that the enemy army was strong and the camp was gradually rising. He couldn't help but frown, knowing that he would be defeated if he continued like this.
So he made a prompt decision, waved his spear, and signaled the army to retreat, and he took the rear alone. Zhao Yun's soldiers took the order and retreated slowly while maintaining their camp.
Seeing this, Gongsun Zan didn't know why, and was afraid of being killed by Yuan Shao. He was afraid of an ambush, so he didn't pursue him.
When Gongsun Zan turned around, he ordered his troops to withdraw their troops and retreat to the main camp.
The messenger took the order, and soon Guan and Zhang led their army back to Gongsun Zan. However, the general Yan Gang was missing, so the situation was probably more serious than bad.
Seeing this, Gongsun Zan immediately did not dare to delay, gathered all the generals, and led the army back to his camp. Unable to hold out, he and Yuan Shao faced off at Panhe.
Yuan Shao withdrew his troops and returned to the camp to celebrate without mentioning the matter.
