He knew that Yan Liang was planning to hold him back, but their first task this time was to capture Yuan Shao. If Yuan Shao ran away, they would have failed.
But how could Yan Liang let Zhao Yun go so easily? While leading his troops to intercept him, he laughed loudly and said, "Zhao Yun kid! Do you know you Hejian Grandpa Yan?"
"Your master Gongsun Zan died in my hands! I hung his head on a gun and showed it off in front of Gongsun Xu!"
"You haven't seen that Gongsun son was so scared by Grandpa Yan that he didn't even dare to leave the city! In the end, I threw Gongsun Zan's head to feed the wild dogs! Hahahaha!"
In order to provoke Zhao Yun, Yan Liang tried his best to ridicule him, and every word he said went straight to Zhao Yun's heart.
Especially the last sentence made Zhao Yun's murderous intention burst into flames, and his anger arose!
"You are seeking death!!"
Zhao Yun's handsome face was full of ferocious murderous intent. Even though he knew that Yan Liang was irritating him, this kind of shame and anger was simply unbearable for him!
Lift Pear Blossom Spear directly and lead the troops to fight against Yan Liang!
The armies of both sides clashed brazenly!
Zhao Yun was in a state of rage at this time. His murderous intention towards Yan Liang had reached its peak, so he took action with all his might to attack Yan Liang's vitals!
At this time, Yan Liang was also determined to die. He put aside all worries and put life and death behind, and also inspired strength far beyond ordinary times!
For a moment, it actually blocked Zhao Yun's offensive!
Yan Liang fought back Zhao Yun with a life-changing attack, and then said sarcastically, "You don't even have the strength to swing your gun, so you have the nerve to ask for revenge on Gongsun Zan?"
"I think you should go home and nurse!"
While provoking, he observed the flaws in Zhao Yun's body. He wanted to wait for an opportunity to risk his own life, but also to take Zhao Yun away. At the worst, he would be seriously injured.
But Zhao Yun had no expression on his face, did not respond to Yan Liang's provocative words at all, and went to kill him again without saying a word!
Yan Liang felt awe-inspiring and did not dare to underestimate him. He raised his gun to resist Zhao Yun's fierce attack that was like thunder.
But Zhao Yun's Spear Technique was unpredictable and extremely powerful. Every blow was hard for him to parry. His hands were shocked to the point of bleeding, and the speed of swinging his gun slowed down.
This slowness is death.
By the time Yan Liang reacted, Zhao Yun's Spear had already broken through his defense and directly stabbed him in the chest.
Gurgling blood flowed down Pear Blossom Spear's silver gun body. He looked at Zhao Yun with some disbelief. Zhao Yun's eyes were cold, with nothing but indifference besides murderous intent.
"Tsk!"
Zhao Yun withdrew Spear, flicked the gun with blood, stopped looking at Yan Liang who fell off his horse, and coldly ordered, "Continue to chase Yuan Thief!"
At this time, Tiger Warriors Army under his command had defeated Yan Liang's thousand troops and fought with Son of Heaven. Their morale was already poor and they were dying.
"Kill Yuan Thief!"
Everyone Soldiers shouted in unison, full of murderous intent.
Follow Zhao Yun and fly away.
Only this bloody Battlefield is left.
Yan Liang was lying on the cold ground, spitting out blood from his mouth. He looked at the snowflakes flying in the sky, with a relieved smile on his lips.
"Lord, it should be safe..."
The breath was cut off.
The wind and snow grew stronger, like a huge white cloth, gradually completely burying the blood and corpses everywhere.
Yuan Shao ran away in the direction of You Province.
Lecheng County is lost, Hejian Commandery is destined to be completely lost, and Ji Province will no longer have a foothold.
But he is not in despair yet. As long as he escapes to Yi City, he can still find some peace!
After running away for a long time, Yuan Shao had to stop and rest after leaving the territory of Hejian Commandery, because the bumps of the horses and the increasing wind and snow had reached the limit of his body.
He is getting old after all.
Everyone found a place to rest on a leeward hillside.
Yuan Shao was sitting on the ground, his face was blue from the cold, his whole body was shivering, and he couldn't feel any warmth even though he was wearing a robe.
He steeled himself, trembling and asked Qu Yi: "Did Gong Ji follow you?"
Even though I know that Yan Liang will be dead after being cut off.
But he still had a glimmer of hope.
Qu Yi shook his head and said, "No, but no Pursuing Troops followed. It seems that the wind and snow covered our traces, making it difficult for the Enemy Army to continue pursuing."
Yuan Shao felt extremely complicated after hearing this.
I was heartbroken over the death of Yan Liang, and I was glad to have successfully escaped, but at the same time I also felt strong unwillingness and anger.
"One day, obviously only one day away!"
"The snow is so heavy, as long as Lecheng County holds on for one more day, Enemy Army will definitely not be able to continue the attack!"
"Only one day left!"
Yuan Shao couldn't express the grief and anger in his heart in words. This feeling of missing out on success made him so sad that he wanted to vomit blood.
Once Hejian Commandery is lost, Ji Province will also be lost. Even with Guo Yuan's troops, he can only retreat to You Province, just like Gongsun Zan.
And Lü Bu and Yuan Xi have become the territories that occupy the three states... No, capturing Bing Province is the territory of Four Provinces, which is even stronger than his previous power.
The army was defeated like a mountain.
Yuan Shao sighed and looked up at the people around him, only to see that whether it was Qu Yi and other generals or many Soldiers, they all looked tired and depressed.
The defeat, coupled with the cold, hunger, and exhaustion of running all the way, resulted in extremely low morale, and an atmosphere of depression and despair spread throughout the army.
"If this continues, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape Yi City..."
Yuan Shao feels a little heavy.
They fled in a hurry and did not bring any dry food or food; in addition, it was windy and snowy, and the journey was difficult. If morale was still so low, it would be difficult to persist until Yi City.
After thinking for a while, Yuan Shao came up with a plan in his mind and suddenly laughed loudly, "Haha! Hahahaha--!"
The laughter is full of joy.
This smile immediately attracted the attention of the generals and the surrounding soldiers, who looked at Yuan Shao with puzzled faces.
Lü Xiang and Jiang Qi couldn't help but look at each other.
Lord... Could it be that you are crazy?
Qu Yi asked in confusion, "Lord Why are you laughing?"
Yuan Shao laughed so hard that tears flowed out, and said in a tone full of disdain, "I laugh at that Lü Bu for being unruly, Yuan Xi for being so smart, and Zhao Yun for being so courageous!"
"I was trapped in Lecheng County before. I thought I was going to die, but I never thought I could escape successfully. It shows that they are just mediocre!"
Speaking of this, Yuan Shao glanced at everyone and said confidently, "Although we suffered a huge defeat this time, the sky will not stop me. Otherwise, how could this heavy snow fall to help us?"
"As the saying goes, if you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed later!"
"As long as you Soldiers follow me back to Yi City, we will rest for a winter, reorganize our troops, and we will definitely be able to make a comeback!"
"We don't have time to mourn our failure. Let's go boil some hot water and drink it to warm ourselves up. Once the snow falls a little less, we'll set off immediately!"
Yuan Shao gave orders to everyone.
Although he knew that the situation was difficult and far from being as easy as he said, as Lord, he had to show confidence in front of his subordinates.
After all, if even he, Lord, languishes, then this team will really be doomed.
This is indeed the case.
After Yuan Shao said these words, the originally sluggish morale improved a lot. Everyone found their backbone again, and those who gathered firewood gathered firewood and those who boiled water.
Yuan Shao finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing this.
But not long after, a Famous Scholars soldier rushed over and said in panic, "Lord! Enemy Army is chasing us!"
"What did you say!"
Yuan Shao couldn't hold himself any longer this time, his expression suddenly changed, he hurried up the hillside and looked behind him, and sure enough he saw a team chasing him!
If the leader White-Robed Young General is not Zhao Yun, who could he be!
The other party is actually still chasing after him!
In fact, Zhao Yun has been chasing him for a long time. He originally lost the direction of Yuan Shao, but fortunately, he finally found it thanks to God's blessing.
After seeing the figure appearing on the hillside, Zhao Yun's spirit was lifted and he shouted loudly, "Yuan Thief is right in front! The one on the hillside is Yuan Thief! Chase Yuan Thief!"
After saying that, he led Tiger Warriors Army to pursue in the snow!
"This mad dog!!"
Yuan Shao was so angry that he cursed.
When he saw Zhao Yun, he knew that Yan Liang must be dead, and then this guy still pursued him, just like a mad dog!
Where on earth could such hatred come from!
You must scold, but you must run. Yuan Shao said to Qu Yi, "Go and lead your troops to stop Zhao Yun! You don't need to fight him to the death, just contain him a little!"
After saying this, without waiting for Qu Yi to reply, Yuan Shao got on his horse and continued to flee with Lü Xiang, Jiang Qi and a few troops.
When Qu Yi heard that Yuan Shao asked him to lead troops to intercept Zhao Yun, he was naturally very reluctant. After all, he was no match for Zhao Yun.
But now that Zhao Yun has come to kill him, he can't avoid the battle even if he wants to, so he can only choose to fight.
Taihang Mountains, Black Mountain Stronghold.
Zhang Yan is sitting in a room where Brazier is burning, drinking wine. On a shelf not far from him, hanging is the pair of general armor given by Son of Heaven and War Saber.
"Yuan Thief suffered a thousand blows! Why can't you just stay at Yi City? You have to go to that bird Hejian Commandery! As a result, I lost all the credit for sealing County Marquis!"
"You should keep this account in mind for me!"
Zhang Yan said viciously, while grabbing a leg of lamb and tearing the mutton with his teeth, as if he was biting Yuan Shao instead of the leg of lamb.
There is a reason why he hates Yuan Shao so much.
