Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

This shot was like a bolt of thunder out of the blue.

fast!
It was so fast that Qu Yi had no time to even think of counterattacking. He only had time to instinctively raise the shield in his left hand to protect himself.

"clang!"

The collision between the Yajiao spear and the shield caused a large amount of sparks and pushed Qu Yi backwards.

Zhao Yun frowned slightly, and did not continue to pursue Qu Yi. He turned his horse around and was about to retreat in the direction he came from.

Even though Zhao Yun rushed towards Gongsun Zan as soon as he received Guo Jia's reminder, the infantry crowded on the boundary bridge greatly hindered Zhao Yun's speed.

When Zhao Yun hurriedly arrived, he was already a step too late.

At this moment, Gongsun's army was doomed, and Zhao Yun was also powerless to turn the tide. He could only fight hard with Gongsun Zan to fight his way out.

Otherwise, once Gongsun Zan died, no one in the three states of You, Ji and Bing north of the Yellow River would be able to match Yuan Shao.

Qu Yi, who was forced back several steps by a spear, understood the importance of Gongsun Zan even more.

If this battle is to be successful, Gongsun Zan must be kept here as well, thus laying the foundation for Yuan Shao to unify Hebei.

Without Gongsun Zan, Han Fu, Liu Yu and others would be nothing more than civil servants and would not be a threat at all.

Qu Yi could not recognize Zhao Yun, who was alone and had not announced his identity. Although he was shocked by the martial arts displayed by Zhao Yun, he subconsciously shouted after he came to his senses.

"Stop the young general in white robe and with silver spear. Gongsun Zan is on his horse!"

After Qu Yi shouted loudly, more than ten vanguard warriors following behind him also shouted in unison three times at Qu Yi's request.

Suddenly, on the battlefield where Gongsun's army was rapidly defeated, voices of young generals in white robes and silver spears were heard from all over.

This made Zhao Yun frown. While constantly moving among the fleeing soldiers, he kept calling out to Gongsun Zan, which made Gongsun Zan, who was hit by the blood and fell heavily to the ground, gradually wake up.

"Zi Long?"

Gongsun Zan spoke in a daze.

"I'm glad that General Gongsun is safe." Zhao Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

When Gongsun Zan reacted, his eyes could not help but turn red, and he recalled the flood that swallowed up countless Youzhou cavalrymen, and said.

"Zilong, please let me go. I don't want to implicate you. Zan has suffered such a great defeat. Even if he returns to Youzhou, how can he face the elders of Youyan? It is better for him to die here."

Compared with the original trajectory, the conflict between Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu became increasingly serious, and the two sides even went to war, causing Gongsun Zan's mentality to become almost extreme and distorted.

Although Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu have different political views now, Gongsun Zan's sense of belonging to Youzhou is much stronger than before, so much so that he feels so remorseful and ashamed that he wishes he could die.

"General Gongsun must not have the thought of committing suicide. Look at how many White Horse Volunteers are still on the battlefield. If you die, how can the soldiers be willing to live alone?" Zhao Yun hurriedly persuaded.

This also shocked Gongsun Zan, and he quickly looked up and looked around.

Gongsun's army was defeated, but the Baima Yicong had not been completely defeated and was still fighting hard.

Especially when the Yuan family shouted that Gongsun Zan was right behind Zhao Yun's horse, the unmanned White Horse Volunteers took the initiative to move towards Zhao Yun and spontaneously covered Zhao Yun's retreat.

At this moment, the Baima Yicong seemed to be fulfilling that oath.

Where justice lies, life and death will follow!

"White horse! White horse!!!"

Gongsun Zan's eyes, which had been somewhat scattered, quickly focused.

"Gongsun was defeated, but Bai Ma is not defeated!"

"I must bring the white horse back to Youzhou!" Gongsun Zan murmured, gradually cheering up.

At this moment, there was a burst of fighting and chaos on the left.

Gao Lan and Chunyu Qiong, eager to intercept Zhao Yun, jointly led a team of elite cavalry, easily broke through the obstruction of the White Horse Volunteers, and rushed straight towards Zhao Yun from the flank.

"Young general, don't leave. Put Gongsun Zan down to me."

"Chun Yuqiong is here, Gongsun Zan, don't leave!"

Gongsun Zan was shocked when he saw this. He had witnessed Gao Lan's bravery on the battlefield before and knew that he was no less brave than himself and Qu Yi, so he spoke urgently.

"The leader is Gao Lan, a famous general from Hebei. Chunyu Qiong was praised by Kong Rong as a famous general in the world. Zilong, please put me down quickly and don't let me get you into trouble."

There was no intuitive way to measure the martial arts value of the generals of the time, let alone the concept of realm.

Unless there is a direct fight, the strength of a person's military force can only be judged from his battle record and reputation.

In this regard, Gongsun Zan, who fought in many battles, had his own criteria for judgment.

Lu Bu, the best general in the world, has gradually become undisputed. Zhao, Guan, Zhang and others who have fought with Lu Bu several times are generally recognized as the most powerful generals second only to Lu Bu.

Gongsun Zan had privately sparred with Zhao Yun many times, and most of the time they were evenly matched, with the outcome difficult to determine within 300 rounds.

This made Gongsun Zan boast that he was a fierce general who was slightly inferior to Zhao Yun. In addition, Gongsun Zan had fought with Qu Yi for many rounds without a clear winner.

This made Gongsun Zan conclude that Qu Yi, Gao Lan, Chunyu Qiong and others, who were of similar military strength under Yuan Shao, were all generals close to himself.

Therefore, in the concept formed by Gongsun Zan: Lu Bu＞Zhao Yun≥Gongsun Zan=Qu Yi, Gao Lan, Chunyu Qiong.

Zhao Yun naturally took Gongsun Zan's reminder very seriously.

But Zhao Yun knew very well that he must not leave Gongsun Zan alone in the midst of the chaos, otherwise, Gongsun Zan, who was already injured, would be in danger of his life if he was attacked by the chaotic army.

'Now, we must fight to the death to ensure the safety of General Gongsun.'

Zhao Yun's expression froze, but he did not slow down, instead he took the initiative to rush towards Gao Lan.

"Well come."

When Gao Lan saw this, he couldn't help but show joy on his face and didn't take Zhao Yun seriously at all.

In fact, Zhao Yun's appearance was too deceptive.

After taking off the white armor, he looked more like a scholar.

Moreover, Zhao Yun's outfit of white horse and silver spear almost perfectly blends into the group of White Horse Volunteers.

This made Gao Lan subconsciously feel that the person in front of him was just a young general from the Baima Yicong who wanted to try his best to save his lord.

Seeing that the distance between the two sides was rapidly closing, Gao Lan, who was excited, was afraid that the credit would be snatched away by Chunyu Qiong beside him, so he took the initiative to speed up his horse, broke out of the crowd, and stabbed at Zhao Yun with his spear.

However, just as Gao Lan drew his gun, a cold silver light flashed out from a tricky angle and instantly occupied Gao Lan's vision.

The next moment, Gao Lan felt a pain in his throat, and the Yajiao spear had pierced his neck.

This scene not only caused Gao Lan to die in confusion, but also shocked Chunyu Qiong and a group of elite cavalry who were originally following Gao Lan.

Even Gongsun Zan, who was placed on horseback by Zhao Yun, widened his eyes in disbelief.

Gongsun Zan had witnessed Gao Lan's bravery before. Ordinary White Horse Volunteers could hardly match him, showing his fierce general status.

But, he couldn't survive Zhao Yun's spear for more than a round? (End of this chapter)
