Zhao Yun and Yan Liang each led 10,000 tiger and leopard cavalry, one behind the other, preparing to attack Gongsun Zan from a flank and complete their victory in one battle.
Gongsun Zan also knew what they meant. This was a critical moment for his own life and death. We can no longer retreat, and there is no way to retreat.
Gongsun Zan secretly made a decision and felt fierce in his heart. He took the lead with a spear in hand and led the remaining white horse followers, who were less than 30,000, to charge in the direction of Zhao Yun. Wanting to open up a way to escape, he roared.
"Brothers, don't retreat, rush for me. Rush out and you'll be safe!"
"I am willing to fight to the death with my lord and take my way of life!"
"I am willing to fight to the death with my lord and take my way of life!"
Seeing that Gongsun Zan had regained his former majesty on the grassland, Bai Ma Yicong, his subordinate, took the lead in the charge and was no longer afraid of Zhao Yun. I was very excited in my heart, and started yelling. Unexpectedly, the morale was greatly boosted, and the invincible white horse cavalry that shocked the desert was back again.
Zhao Yun saw that Baima Yicong was mobilized by Gongsun Zan and that they were in desperate situation, so they must fight tooth and nail. The morale is very high now, and I feel a bit invincible.
Although he frowned, he felt that this situation was not conducive to his side. But as the invincible Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, Zhao Yun said that we are afraid of no one. Only with such an opponent can we show our invincible majesty!
When Gongsun Zan and Baima Yi quickly approached, Zhao Yun didn't waste any time. He rode out with a gun and headed straight for Gongsun Zan, preparing to capture the thief first and capture the king first.
Seeing that his coach had the spirit of taking an admiral's head out of thousands of troops, Hubaoqi followed Zhao Yun without any nonsense, and followed Zhao Yun to kill the enemy bravely and face the white horse Yi Cong.
There was only a crackling sound, and the cavalry from both sides came to a close encounter. They fought each other, the sound of killing was loud, and the scene was a bit chaotic.
Without the need for orders from the generals on both sides, the cavalry on both sides found their own opponents, and they faced off against the generals. To be honest, Baima Yicong and Hubaoqi were actually about the same strength, so they couldn't tell the winner for a while. They seemed to be evenly matched.
As for Zhao Yun, although he is invincible, Gongsun Zan has already been prepared. Before Zhao Yun could get close, he came with 3,000 men to fight Zhao Yun and give him a wheel battle. Aren't you, Zhao Yun, awesome? Let me see how you break out of the siege this time?
"Zilong, don't panic, Yan Liang is here to help you. Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, kill them for me, don't let any of them go!"
At this time, Yan Liang also arrived with the remaining tiger and leopard cavalry, ready to help Zhao Yun and attack Gongsun Zan's rear from behind to relieve the pressure on Zhao Yun's army.
When Gongsun Zan saw that Yan Liang was about to kill him, he smiled contemptuously. With a wave of his hand, the white horse Yi Cong was split into two, and the part that was separated went to fight Yan Liang's army.
But he himself still led three thousand elites to continue to besiege Zhao Yun. On the one hand, he avenged the two generals Zou Dan, and also let Yuan Shao taste the heartache of losing his beloved general. On the other hand, for the sake of the future war, if you kill the enemy's general, the subsequent battles will be much smoother. Especially Zhao Yun, the best general in the world, if he can be killed, it will undoubtedly be a fatal blow to Yuan Shao's army.
Thinking of this, he became even more fierce in his heart, and the spear in his hand danced more cheerfully. With his elite men, he besieged Zhao Yun. It will definitely succeed this time, Zhao Yun must die!
"ding ding ding"
Suddenly, a sound of Ming Jin withdrawing his troops sounded from behind him. It should be Yuan Shao's order to summon the gold and recall Zhao Yun Yanliang's army.
Seeing that his lord had given the order, Zhao Yun stopped entangled with Gongsun Zan too much, and fought his way out of the encirclement by dividing two by three. He called his cavalrymen to join Yan Liang, then returned to the camp to obey orders.
Although Yan Liang felt very happy about killing, he seemed to not want to leave. But when I saw the order from my lord Yuan Shao, I didn't dare to disobey him. So he and Zhao Yun joined forces and went back together to recover.
After a while, he retreated, leaving only Gongsun Zan and his white horse Yi Cong, looking at each other, not understanding what happened. Yuan Shao's army didn't have much disadvantage, so why did it retreat?
Gongsun Zan was also confused about this and could not figure out Yuan Shao's intentions. He was a little hesitant and did not send troops to pursue him. When he realized what he was doing, Yuan Shao's army had already retreated into the city. The opportunity to annihilate Yuan Shao's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was missed in vain.
At this time, I saw a cloud of dust flying behind me, and there seemed to be an infinite number of people arriving. It seemed that they should be my own people.
Gongsun Zan looked up and saw that it was Gongsun Yue who came with an army of 100,000 to support him. After he set up camp, he heard shouts of killing and loud beating of drums in front of him. Worried that his eldest brother Gongsun Zan would be unable to survive alone, he negotiated with his third brother Gongsun Fan to let him stay in the camp. But he came with an army of 100,000 to support his elder brother.
Seeing his second brother coming with the army, Gongsun Zan suddenly woke up. It turned out that it was Yuan Shao who saw his reinforcements arriving, so he ordered Zhao Yun and Yan Liang to withdraw their troops and let Zhao Yun and Yan Liang return to the city with the tiger and leopard cavalry.
It's such a pity that he almost eliminated this cavalryman who was a great threat to his white horse followers. This made Gongsun Zan very upset, so angry that he wanted to hit the wall with the floor.
Seeing his eldest brother looking annoyed and a little unhappy, Gongsun Yue asked cautiously, fearing not to anger him and take it out on himself.
"Brother, how is the situation now? Are you injured?"
It would have been better if Gongsun Yue didn't ask, but once he asked these questions, Gongsun Zan was greatly stimulated and made Gongsun Zan even more angry. But his brother, who was interested in asking questions, still patiently told Gongsun Yue the causes and consequences of the battle just now.
After his elder brother finished speaking, Gongsun Yue roughly understood the situation. Now that I know the crux of Gongsun Zan's annoyance, I understand his mood very well. After all, not only did our side lose troops and generals in this battle, it also led to a complete loss of morale. It can't be said that he turned defeat into victory, it can also be said that he gained a little bit, but he let his elder brother waste it and wasted this great opportunity in vain.
Thinking of this, although Gongsun Yue complained about his elder brother why he missed such a good opportunity, he did not complain at all and just comforted him.
"Brother, don't be depressed. Victory and defeat are just common things for military strategists. Although we lost this time, our Youzhou army is still strong and has not been damaged. After brother regroups, we will have a showdown with Yuan Shao!"
Hearing his brother's comfort, Gongsun Zan didn't say anything. He just nodded for a while, shook his head for a while, sighed, and then ordered the army to return to the camp quickly without delay.
Although I don’t understand why the elder brother’s expression is so puzzling? But the military orders had to be obeyed, so Gongsun Yue joined forces and followed his eldest brother back to the camp first, where he was discussing and keeping his doubts in his heart.
