Speaking of Gao Shun's troops, they had been attacking the southern city of Chang'an for a long time. They felt that the defenders of the southern city were getting stronger and stronger. They vaguely guessed that Fan Chou and Zhang Ji's troops had encountered a problem and liberated the defenders on the east side. At this moment, we no longer continue to attack the city, shrink our troops, and prepare for defensive operations.
Sure enough, not long after, he received a letter from Li Jue, ordering Gao Shun's troops to move east quickly and attack Huangfu Song's troops from three sides, completing their victory in one battle. Gao Shun's troops were well-trained and quickly demolished the camp. They moved and defended and headed east. After bypassing the southern city, they expected to quickly advance north to reach the predetermined battlefield.
Gao Shun deployed archers and spearmen on the north and rear sides of the army to prevent sudden pursuit by the cavalry in the city. He knew that the troops in the city were not strong, so in order to speed up the march, the front and rear troops stretched very far. The front army was almost out of the countryside outside the south city.
At this moment, Zhao Yun's 10,000 cavalry arrived, and the sound of hoofbeats shook the sky and the earth, like the death talisman. Gao Shun remained calm in the face of danger and ordered the spearmen on the north side to go south along the gap. The archers on the rear side quickly moved forward and formed a V-shaped pocket. As long as Zhao Yun's cavalry dared to rush up, they were guaranteed to be unable to please. Unexpectedly, Zhao Yun's white dragon horse changed its direction slightly, accelerated and continued forward, leading more than ten thousand cavalry to rush into Gao Shun's weakly defended front army in an instant.
Zilong's hundreds of birds and phoenix spears were everywhere, and the little white dragon was flying and wandering in the fiery hell. There were flying corpses and blood everywhere, and it quickly penetrated the entire front army of Gao Shun's camp. The front army was in chaos. Gao Shunming blew the horn. The front army quickly fled to the woods on both sides to avoid the sharp sabers of the Qinglong cavalry. The rear army's archers and spearmen rushed forward at high speed and attacked the rear of Zhao Yun's cavalry. But how fast was Zhao Yun's cavalry? It had already penetrated the enemy's formation and disappeared beyond the horizon.
When Gao Shun's rear army saw Zhao Yun's cavalry walking away, they just stopped chasing and were about to organize their troops. Suddenly they heard a thunderous sound of bowstrings behind them. When they looked back in surprise, they saw dark clouds covering the sky, and hail falling all over the sky. Quickly covering the sky, Gao Shun had sharp eyes and shouted: "Hurry and avoid the rain of arrows!"
All the soldiers were about to wake up from a dream, and ran away with their heads in their hands. The spearmen raised their spears to draw arrows, and the archers raised their bows to draw arrows. Unfortunately, they didn't have shields in their hands. In an instant, they were pierced by arrows and nailed to the ground. The lucky ones who escaped death were secretly rejoicing when they heard another thunderbolt from the bowstring, and the second round of arrow rain came at them like the sickle of death.
Gao Shun waved his sword to deflect the arrows, and shouted loudly: "Lancers and archers enter the forest! Sword and shield soldiers attack!" The horn soldiers beside him hurriedly blew their horns and issued orders. A long arrow fell from the sky, piercing his heart.
Gao Shun grabbed the horn, blew it himself, and issued the order. The archers and spearmen rushed into the nearby woods. The sword and shield soldiers raised their protective shields and quickly rushed towards Liu Xian's archers. Liu Xian saw that the trapped camp could still make changes according to Gao Shun's orders, and secretly admired him in his heart. With an order, the front group of 10,000 archers changed to the rear group, and quickly retreated.
Seeing the corpses of spearmen and archers all over the ground, the sword and shield soldiers hated the archers who had just attacked them, and chased them with all their lives. Suddenly the sound of hooves behind him started again, Zhao Yun led the cavalry back, riding faster than when they were escaping, and quickly approached the trapped sword and shield soldiers who were chasing Liu Xian's archers.
At this time, Gao Shun also panicked. He quickly changed the sound of the horn and ordered the sword and shield soldiers to just pursue and not look back. At the same time, he ordered the archers and spearmen who had just fled into the forest to come out to deal with Zhao Yun's cavalry. Although the order is good, how can the soldiers execute it immediately? When the spearmen and archers came out of the forest to prepare for battle, Zhao Yun's cavalry had already entered from the rear of the sword and shield soldiers and shot out from the head. The sword and shield soldiers fled in all directions, wailing, and the battlefield had long since become a Shura hell.
Gao Shun was also tenacious enough. He quickly blew the horn and ordered all the remaining troops to hide in the woods and defend on the spot. Twenty thousand troops of Liu Min and Liu Yong suddenly emerged from the woods to the south. The Gao Shun soldiers who had hid in the woods on the south suffered a disaster. They were beheaded one after another and their bodies were thrown out of the forest.
Gao Shun was filled with anger and forced himself to calm down. He blew the horn for the last time and ordered all the troops to enter the northern mountains and forests to gather for defense. The half-dead soldiers trapped in the camp had just rushed into the forest on the north side. Suddenly, they heard the sound of golden drums on the north side. Huang Gai and Gan Ning led thousands of defenders to press into the forest from the north side.
At this point, Gao Shun's trapped camp has all fallen into the calculations of the three major military advisors and will soon be wiped out. Gao Shun lost all hope. Seeing that the trap he had trained day and night and arduously was wiped out, he suddenly put down the long knife, pulled out the waist knife, and was about to swing it across his neck.
The soldiers next to him were startled. Several of them hugged Gao Shun tightly and tried to dissuade him. Gao Shun sighed and said: "My whole life's hard work has been ruined. What's the point of living? Everyone escapes. Even if you surrender to the enemy, I won't complain. It's just that I don't even know who the opponent's surprise soldiers are. I won't die in peace!" "As he said this, he was about to raise his sword again, but all the soldiers still hugged him tightly.
Gao Shun had no choice but to lead a few soldiers and flee deep into the woods. Just listen to the roar of the surrounding mountains and the tsunami, the sound of Gao Shun surrendering. There was a clear shout in the middle: "General Gao, listen! We are the troops under the Young Emperor of the Han Dynasty, and we are the orthodox court. General Gao, a famous general of the Han Dynasty, followed Lu Bu and mistakenly followed the Dong thief. It is not too late to turn back. Hurry up. By surrendering, not only the general will be spared, but the rest of the people will be forgiven.”
Gao Shun looked out from the gap in the forest and saw corpses lying everywhere, among which were many brothers who had fallen into the camp and surrendered, all with steel knives on their necks. Gao Shun couldn't bear it in his heart, muttering the words Young Emperor of Han in his heart, he suddenly stood up and walked out of the forest and said: "Don't hurt your life, Gao Shun is here!"
Zhao Yun, in white robes and silver armor, rode ahead and came to Gao Shun's side. Hundreds of birds flashed towards the phoenix spear like a phantom. The tip of the spear was already pressed against Gao Shun's throat and said: "Tied!"
Seeing that Zhao Yun's spear was extremely fast, Gao Shun couldn't help but said: "This general is so handsome. A defeated general cannot express his courage. General, please don't hurt the lives of my soldiers." He stretched out his hands and let Zhao Yun do whatever he wanted. His men tied him up.
Zhao Yun listened to Gao Shun's sincere words and thought that this was a man who loved soldiers as much as his son. Remembering that his lord always cherished talents, he couldn't help asking: "Since you pity your soldiers, why don't you show compassion to the people of the world? Since you once followed Ding Yuan, why do you tolerate it?" Lu Bu killed his adoptive father? Following Dong Zhuo to cause rebellion, how many people in the Central Plains were harmed?"
Gao Shun said: "I, Gao Shun, have a clear conscience. My subordinates are all professional soldiers, and I will never allow them to disturb the people." After saying that, he looked at Zhao Yun proudly and said, "Isn't the establishment established by Grand Master Dong also of Han Dynasty blood? I think Emperor Xian He is smarter and wiser than the Young Emperor of Han! I never thought that a god-like figure like you would be loyal to the mediocre Young Emperor of Han! Can you tell me the general's surname?"
Zhao Yun laughed loudly and said: "General Gao, my name is not significant, but my lord is General Chen Long. Do you know his name? My lord's only standard is to be good to the people. Dong Zhuo is cruel, naturally. An enemy of my lord.”
After saying that, he raised his steel spear and said, "You and I are both generals, why are we talking here? I'll give you a chance today. Come and loosen your bonds!"
Suddenly, Gao Shun's bonds were gone and he regained his freedom. Gao Shun was in a daze thinking about the deeds of Chen Long he had heard about. Zhao Yun ordered someone to lead a war horse and said to Gao Shun: "My lord is very talented. Today I will bet with you on the outcome."
"You and I are one on one. If I win by chance, General Gao surrenders to my lord. If the general wins, how about letting the general and your men leave?" As soon as this statement came out, the generals were in an uproar. Zhao Yun's army had already taken all the advantages. , why give Gao Shun this chance to make a comeback?
Only the three masterminds, Guo Jia, Zhou Buyi, and Xu Shu, were sitting firmly in the saddle. They knew that Zhao Yun was recruiting generals for their lord, and they were absolutely sure to win. Gao Shun couldn't refuse Zhao Yun's proposal, so he got on his horse, Zhao Yun pointed the tip of his spear, and a long knife flew straight towards Gao Shun. Gao Shun grabbed the handle of the knife and opened it.
Among Lu Bu's eight capable generals, Gao Shun's martial arts skills were only inferior to Zhang Liao's, and his ability to lead troops was as good as, or even better than, Zhang Liao's. At this time, Gao Shun swung the steel sword, naturally showing his master's temperament, and Zhao Yun shouted: "Okay!" The white dragon horse accelerated on the spot and was in front of Gao Shun in an instant.
The Hundred Birds Chao Phoenix Spear is full of internal energy, surrounded by faint white air and steaming, quite like a small white dragon flying and entwining, but its scale is much smaller than Chen Long's Gentian Bright Silver Spear. Zhao Yun flicked the tip of his spear slightly, and a ball of white air shot out like a sharp arrow, flying towards the door in front of Gao Shun. It was Chen Long's internal force-throwing attack method that Zhao Yun had mastered.
Gao Shun had never seen such a technique before. He was caught off guard and felt that the white energy had substance. He immediately panicked and ducked down to avoid the white energy. The steel knife had already lost its way. Zhao Yun took the opportunity to use a round of Birds Chao Feng Quick Spear. The tip of the spear vibrated the air and made a short whine. For a moment, Gao Shun's eyes were filled with the shining spear tip and his ears were filled with the sound of birdsong. He was horrified. Said: "A hundred birds are shooting at the phoenix spear! Are you Zhang Xiu, the spear king of the North?"
Gao Shun came up and was disturbed by the white light, so he lost the opportunity. Naturally, it was very difficult to resist. Zhao Yun smiled and said nothing, and just fired the quick shot, which was dazzling. After only five or six rounds, a shot pierced Gao Shun's helmet. Gao Shun abandoned his sword and dismounted and said: "The general's quick spear is probably stronger than Zhang Xiu's. I am no match for you, so I have to let the general handle it."
Zhou Buyi, who was watching the battle, laughed and said, "Zhang Xiu is not even worthy of carrying his shoes. This is the most handsome and coolest legion commander of our army, General Marshal Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong, who has peerless martial arts, far-reaching intelligence, unparalleled handsomeness, and unparalleled loyalty. He is known as the jade-faced and ever-victorious general who is brave and unparalleled in the world!"
