Liu Qi, the hegemon of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 415 Battle of Youzhou ([-])

Gongsun Zan fled ahead, trying to escape the pursuit of Li Dian and Zhang Xiu.

However, Li Dian and Zhang Xiu were chasing after Gongsun Zan, and they were also staring at Gongsun Zan, preventing him from getting out of their sight.

They are also very clear that if they want to quickly resolve the battle, the only way to quickly resolve the battle is to win Gongsun Zan, regardless of life or death.

and so.

Only then did he hear Gongsun Zan's loud shout, and came straight to Gongsun Zan, giving up other goals.

Gongsun Zan didn't know what Li Dian and Zhang Xiu were thinking, and when he saw them running towards him, he turned around and left without hesitation. After all, if it was him, he would do the same thing, taking the lead Take down the enemy's coach, which can save a lot of things.

If Li Dian was alone, he would have fought another battle.

however.

Facing Li Dian and Zhang Xiu, he didn't have such an idea. He had no chance of winning against them, so he could only run away.

Gongsun Zan, on the other hand, only paid attention to Li Dian and Zhang Xiu who were chasing behind him, picked a route to escape, and didn't notice the direction in which he was fleeing, but ran towards Cao Cao's direction.

"Little Gongsun, if you dismount and accept surrender, I will spare your life, otherwise, when you are defeated, it will be your death!" Zhang Xiu shouted.

Although he and Li Dian had been chasing them, their speed wasn't that fast among the rebellious army. In addition, Gongsun Zan had been running towards crowded places, which made it very difficult for them to pursue.

It's not easy to chase.

Hearing Zhang Xiu shout.

Gongsun Zan didn't even turn his head. It was impossible to stop. As for asking Cao Cao to spare his life, he didn't think it was necessary.

He never thought that he was worse than Cao Cao.

And as long as Liu Bei and Yuan Shao's reinforcements arrive, then the victory will belong to their side, and Cao's side will be the one who needs to flee.

Also because there is still prayer, there is no thought of admitting defeat.

"You Wang, where do you want to go?"

While Gongsun Zan was still thinking about how long he would have to hold on, Liu Bei and Yuan Shao would lead the reinforcements to arrive.

A faint voice rang in his ears.

call ~
Gongsun Zan, who was running away, was shocked, and quickly pulled back the horse and stopped.

Look up.

Then he saw Cao Cao not far ahead, sitting on the back of a war horse, holding a long sword that was still dripping blood.

The flickering flames were also reflected on Cao Cao's blood-stained face.

And there are Xu Chu and other guards beside him.

"Cao Mengde!" Gongsun Zan said through gritted teeth.

There was also a flash of light in his eyes, and he did not expect that Cao Cao would come in person instead of taking this opportunity to escape from the encirclement.

But if you take advantage of this time and leave Cao Cao behind, then...

Of course, the premise is that Liu Bei and Yuan Shao can lead troops to come quickly, and he has to persist until then.

however.

When Cao Cao wanted to say something.

I see.

As soon as Gongsun Zan pulled his horse, he ran to the other side without the slightest hesitation, let alone procrastination. It was obvious that he didn't want to confront Cao Cao.

For him, the longer the delay, the better.

There are Cao Cao and Xu Chu in front, and Li Dian and Zhang Xiu in the back. If you don't run, you really can't go.

Seeing Gongsun Zan's actions.

Cao Cao was also taken aback for a moment. Originally, he was thinking of delaying the time until Li Dian and Zhang Xiu surrounded him so that Gongsun Zan would not have the chance to escape, but Gongsun Zan had no intention of staying at all.

And he never thought that Gongsun Zan would flee in his direction before, otherwise he would not have thought of talking nonsense with Gongsun Zan.

But he didn't intend to let Gongsun Zan escape, so he prepared to catch up.

"Gongsun, go there!"

A loud shout sounded.

Then he saw Zhang Xiu straighten his horse and straighten his spear, stabbing straight at Gongsun Zan's back.

It turned out that Zhang Xiu and Li Dian had been chasing Gongsun Zan, but they were blocked by many soldiers.

It was rare for Gongsun Zan to stop, so how could he let Gongsun Zan continue to run away? Li Dian would open the way for him to intercept the surrounding Youzhou soldiers, and he himself would directly kill Gongsun Zan.

Gongsun Zan was running not far away.

Hearing the shouting behind him, and feeling the sound of breaking wind behind him, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Now it was too late to turn around to resist, so he turned to one side directly.

Chi la~

The spear Zhang Xiu swung also passed the armor on Gongsun Zan's left shoulder, making an ear-piercing sound.

Before Zhang Xiu had his next move.

Gongsun Zan rolled directly off his horse, even his helmet fell aside.

Rolled around on the ground.

Gongsun Zan got up straight away.Without caring about the image, he ran directly into the chaotic army, and directly mixed into the chaotic army, making it difficult to find.

And Cao Cao, who surrounded them, did not expect that Gongsun Zan would use such a method to get rid of them. If Gongsun Zan had not abandoned his horse and left, they would have trapped Gongsun Zan by now.

But Gongsun Zan abandoned his horse and left. Even if they were among the chaos, it would be difficult to find Gongsun Zan again, unless Gongsun Zan appeared again.

"Lord!"

Zhang Xiu and Li Dian also bowed their hands to Cao Cao, with a hint of shame on their faces. They did not expect such a situation to happen. They were about to take down Gongsun Zan, but Gongsun Zan ran away.

Moreover, Gongsun Zan knew them, so he would be more cautious in his actions, and would not expose his existence at will, so it would be very difficult to take them down.

Cao Cao waved his hand, and didn't blame Li Dian and Zhang Xiu. After all, he was very clear about the process, so he couldn't blame them.

Even he did not expect that Gongsun Zan would be so decisive and escape in such a embarrassing way.

Things have already happened, and it is of no use to pursue something, and the key now is not this.

Dividing troops into battle is all about quick battles, and the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for their side.

Glancing at Gongsun Zan's helmet that had come off, he gave Zhang Xiu some instructions.

Hear Cao Cao's order.

Zhang Xiu nodded, swiped the spear in his hand, picked up Gongsun Zan's helmet that had fallen on the ground, and lifted it high.

Taking a deep breath, he shouted: "Listen, soldiers of Youzhou, Youwang Gongsun Zan is dead, if you don't put down your weapons and surrender, when will you wait!"

As soon as this word comes out.

When the soldiers of Youzhou saw Zhang Xiu's helmet held high with his spear, their morale, which was originally raised because of the reward offered by Gongsun Zan, also instantly fell.

And they didn't see Gongsun Zan's figure, and only a small number of people knew the truth, but those who didn't know thought what Zhang Xiu said was true.

On the other hand, the soldiers of the Cao army were shocked by this, and they swung their butcher knives and fell on the soldiers of Youzhou who had lost their morale.

"Those who put down their weapons and surrender will not die; those who resist in the corner will be killed without mercy!" Cao Cao also stood up and shouted.

A pair of tiger eyes also scanned everywhere, and if Gongsun Zan stood up, he would lead people to surround him.

Even if Gongsun Zan didn't stand up, he could still take the opportunity to suppress the morale of Youzhou soldiers and prepare for the defeat of Youzhou soldiers.

Kill two birds with one stone.

Regardless of the result, it is very beneficial to him.
