Chapter 424: The Battle of Youzhou (10)


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

But Li Dian and Zhang Xiu were chasing Gongsun Zan closely, and they also kept an eye on Gongsun Zan, not letting him have the chance to escape 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 capture Gongsun Zan, regardless of life or death. so.

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

Gongsun Zan didn't know what Li Dian and Zhang Xiu were thinking, so when he saw the two running toward him, he turned around and left without hesitation.

After all, if it were him, he would have done the same thing and took the lead.

Taking down the enemy's coach will save a lot of things.

If it was just Li Dian, he would still fight.

However.

Facing Li Dian and Zhang Xiu, he had no such idea.

Facing them, he had no chance of winning and could only escape.

But Gongsun Zan only paid attention to Li Dian and Zhang Xiu who were chasing behind him, and chose a route to escape.

He did not notice the direction in which he was running, but he bumped into the direction of Cao Cao.

"My son, Gongsun, if you dismount and accept surrender, I will spare your life.

Otherwise, when you are defeated, you will die," Zhang Xiu shouted.

Although he and Li Dian had been chasing, they were not very fast among the rebels.

In addition, Gongsun Zan kept running to crowded places, which made their pursuit more difficult.

It’s not easy to chase either.

Hear Zhang Xiu shouting.

Gongsun Zan didn't even look back.

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, victory will belong to their side, and then it will be Cao's army who needs to flee.

And because I still have prayers, I won’t have any thoughts of admitting defeat.

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

While Gongsun Zan was still thinking about how long he would have to hold on before Liu Bei and Yuan Shao arrived with reinforcements.

A faint voice rang in his ears. appeal Gongsun Zan, who was running away, was startled and quickly grabbed his horse and stopped.

Look up.

Then he saw Cao Cao not far ahead, sitting on a horse with a long sword still dripping blood in his hand.

The swaying firelight also reflected on Cao Cao's blood-stained face.

And beside him were Xu Chu and other personal guards.

"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 we take advantage of this moment to keep Cao Cao, then.

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

However.

When Cao Cao still wanted to say something.

I saw.

Gongsun Zan pulled his horse and ran to the other side without a trace of hesitation or delay.

It was obvious that he did not 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 behind.

If you don't run, you really can't leave.

See Gongsun Zan's actions.

Cao Cao was also stunned for a moment.

Originally, he wanted to delay it for a while, waiting for Li Dian and Zhang Xiu to surround him, so that Gongsun Zan would not have a chance to escape, but Gongsun Zan had no intention of stopping at all.

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

But he didn't intend to let Gongsun Zan escape, so he was ready to chase him.

"Little Gongsun, where are you going?"

A loud shout sounded.

Then he saw Zhang Xiu riding his horse and raising his spear, stabbing directly at Gongsun Zan's back.

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

It was rare that Gongsun Zan stopped, so how could he let Gongsun Zan continue to run away?

Li Dian opened the way for him, intercepted the surrounding Youzhou soldiers, and he himself directly killed Gongsun Zan.

Gongsun Zan was running not far away.

Hearing the loud shouts 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.

With a change of heart, he turned directly to one side.

Chi la The spear swung by Zhang Xiu also scratched the armor on Gongsun Zan's left shoulder, making a harsh sound.

Before Zhang Xiu could make his next move.

Gongsun Zan rolled directly off his horse and even his helmet fell to the side.

Rolled around on the ground.

Gongsun Zan got up directly.

Without caring about his image, he ran directly into the rebel army and blended directly into the rebel army, making it difficult to find him.

Cao Cao, who was surrounding them, did not expect that Gongsun Zan would use such a method to get rid of them.

If Gongsun Zan did not abandon his horse and run away, they would have trapped Gongsun Zan now.

But Gongsun Zan abandoned his horse and ran away.

Even if they were in the chaos, it would be difficult to find Gongsun Zan again unless Gongsun Zan showed up again.

"Lord" Zhang Xiu and Li Dian also handed over to Cao Cao, with a trace of shame on their faces.

They did not expect that such a situation would occur.

They were about to capture Gongsun Zan, but Gongsun Zan escaped again.

Moreover, Gongsun Zan knows them and will act more cautiously, and will not expose his existence at will.

It will be very difficult to take them down.

Cao Cao waved his hand and did not blame Li Dian and Zhang Xiu.

After all, he was very clear about the process and could not blame them.

Even he didn't expect that Gongsun Zan would be so decisive and escape in such an embarrassing way.

Things have already happened, and there is no point in pursuing it.

The key now is not this.

The emphasis is on splitting up troops and fighting quickly.

The longer the delay is, the more disadvantageous it will be to their side.

He glanced at Gongsun Zan's fallen helmet and gave Zhang Xiu some instructions.

Hear Cao Cao's instructions.

Zhang Xiu nodded, waved his spear in his hand, picked up Gongsun Zan's helmet that fell on the ground, and raised it high.

He took a deep breath and shouted: "Listen, soldiers of Youzhou, Prince You, Gongsun Zan, is dead.

If you don't lay down your weapons and surrender, how long will it take?"

As soon as these words came out.

When the soldiers of Youzhou saw Zhang Xiu holding his helmet high with a spear, their morale, which had been boosted by the huge reward proposed by Gongsun Zan, instantly dropped.

And since Gongsun Zan was not seen, only a small number of people knew the truth.

Those who didn't know thought that what Zhang Xiu said was true.

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

"Those who lay down their weapons and surrender will be spared death; those who resist in a corner will be killed without mercy."

Cao Cao also stood up and shouted.

A pair of tiger eyes also scanned everywhere.

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 the Youzhou soldiers and prepare to defeat the Youzhou soldiers.

Kill two birds with one stone.

No matter which result, it is very beneficial to him
