Chapter 29: The End
Xiahoudun's army suddenly came out, which was something that everyone present did not expect.
Although they all knew in their hearts that Cao Cao had sent reinforcements, they just wanted to take advantage of the fisherman.
And now Yan Lianggang and Qiao Zhong are fighting, although he has the upper hand.
But neither side suffered heavy losses, and a fisherman who wanted to be greedy for cheap would not choose to appear at this time.
And looking at Xiahoudun's posture, it was not at all like the one who launched an attack after seeing Qiao Zhong and them.
It was like Yan Liang who came from a long distance.
Of course, what the specific reason is, Yan Liang can't be allowed to think about it at this time.
In his heart, he was grateful to Xiahoudun's army, which would suddenly appear at this time.
Because of his appearance, it means that the Yellow Turban Army will have to devote its energy to deal with more than 10,000 people, and he can send corresponding people to support Guan Yu and them in their battle.
Therefore, there were two battlefields here in the original Youzhou City, but now because of the sudden division of Qiao Zhong and Yan Liang, the vacuum area of less than fifty meters between the two battlefields has also become a battlefield.
The four forces present, Yan Liang, Gongsun Zhan, Qiao Zhong, and Xiahou Dun, who had just arrived, fought together.
The 120,000 army, plus the people in Youzhou City, directly evolved into a big melee.
On the battlefield, people turned on their backs, and the sound of killing shook the heavens and the earth.
Even in the city, the old and weak women and children, as well as the children, who did not join the scene, were sweating in their hearts.
Because on that battlefield there were their fathers, their sons, their brothers.
Each of them wants their families to be safe and survive on the battlefield.
But the sword and gun have no eyes, even if it is a peerless fierce general like Lu Bu and Guan Yu, he does not dare to guarantee that he will be able to walk down from the battlefield alive every time.
Not to mention the ordinary people who have never been on the battlefield and are only enthusiastic.
So on the battlefield outside the city, the biggest losses were the civilians of Youzhou.
The previous leader had already fallen in a pool of blood, and of course he was also the most courageous one in the group.
At the last moment before he died, he still said to his comrades behind him, "We can't retreat, we must protect our families." ”
It was this sentence that made the people who were originally in a bit of a downturn ignite the fire again.
That's right, they can't fail, and once they fail, Gongsun Chan will enter the city with the Yellow Turban Army and close the city gates.
And those reinforcements who supported them, when they saw that the Yellow Turban Army had taken control of Youzhou, they would retreat.
What will happen to the people who are still alive in the city by that time? What about his wife and daughter?
So they just had to keep fighting and fight to the last man.
At the same time, it is also an example for those reinforcements, telling them that they are not a wreck.
This is also the reason why Gongsun Zhan's army has not broken through this line of defense and entered the city for a long time.
And Guan Yu and the others also knew what the consequences would be once Gongsun Zan and Qiao Zhong's Yellow Turban Army entered the city.
So he decisively turned around and killed the Yellow Turban Army behind him.
Zhang Fei was also about to help Guan Yu when he was suddenly stopped by Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun told him that the top priority now was Gongsun Zhan, and the two of them were the pillars of these people, once they all went to deal with the Yellow Turban Army.
Then there will be no one here who can pose a threat to Gongsun Zhan, and those civilians will be somewhat shocked when they see us abandon them.
Once Gongsun Chan takes advantage of this and enters Youzhou City, it will be too late.
So Zhang Fei stopped the idea of helping Guan Yu in the past, and continued to stay here to fight a war of attrition with Gongsun Zhan.
Moreover, they have also made great progress on their own side, most of Gongsun Zhan's army has been wiped out by them, and in another hour, the battle on this side will be over.
Gongsun Chan saw the soldiers on his side fall one after another, and he didn't feel the slightest sadness in his heart, some of them were angry and insulting.
scolded his subordinates for being wine bags and rice bags, and even these civilians couldn't clean up, I really don't know what to feed them for.
Wasn't it fun to kill these defenseless ants in the city before? Why are you soft now?
Gongsun Chan knew that it was only a matter of time before he failed, so he planned to sneak away while he was in chaos.
Sure enough, he saw that there were fewer people somewhere behind him, so he mounted his horse and broke out directly in that direction.
Gongsun Zhan's actions were seen by everyone present, and the soldiers were shocked to see their lord abandon them.
Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei did not continue to entangle with these generals, and directly pursued and killed Gongsun Zhan.
Yan Liang saw that Gongsun Zan had no leader in the group at this time, so he asked Dian Wei to lead three thousand men and horses to kill him.
Dian Wei's sudden attack greatly boosted morale, and those people saw Zhao Yun and the others chasing and killing Gongsun Zhan.
Although it was exciting, they didn't have a fierce general here, and it was difficult to resist those soldiers.
Who knew that at this moment, the arrival of Dian Wei made them overjoyed.
And Gongsun Zhan's subordinates, when they saw that their lords had run away, where did they still have the heart to resist, so they dropped their weapons and surrendered.
After seeing these people surrender, the people here immediately burst into cheering shouts.
Dian Wei asked some of his subordinates to take care of these people, and he led the rest of the men to round up Qiao Zhong.
Qiao Zhong was already surrounded by Guan Yu, Yan Liang, Xiahoudun and other generals at this moment, even if he put on his wings, he couldn't fly out.
If they wanted to kill Qiao Zhong, it could be said that it was easier than eating.
But they didn't, because it meant more to be captured alive than to kill him.
Think about it, the Dharma protector under Zhang Jiao's seat can be said to be under one person and above ten thousand.
Just like the prime minister of the country, if he is caught and brought back to Luoyang to hand over to the emperor, it will be a great achievement.
Because the imperial court and the Yellow Turban Army have been fighting for so many years, generals and generals have been arrested.
But none of the four protectors have been caught.
Think of what an encouragement it was to the soldiers who were fighting against the Yellow Turbans; And what a blow to Zhang Jiao's Yellow Turban Army.
Of course, Qiao Zhong also saw their thoughts, so he planned to raise his sword to kill himself.
Guan Yu was quick-eyed, and when he was unprepared, he directly knocked him off his horse, and the weapon fell off his hand.
When the Yellow Turban Army saw that its commander was captured, they still had the slightest intention of resisting, some of them surrendered on their knees, and some of them threw away their armor and fled.
Just when the Youzhou battlefield was a complete victory, Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei also caught up with Gongsun Zhan.
Gongsun Zhan was knocked off his horse by Zhao Yun, knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, "For the sake of my good treatment of you in the past, please give me a way to live." ”
Zhao Yun rode up to Gongsun Chan and said, "Thank you for taking care of you during this time, it's a pity that the Tao is different and you don't conspire with each other." If you want to blame, blame you for choosing the wrong path. ”
After that, a shot slashed Gongsun Zhan's neck, and a long stream of blood flowed out.
At this point, the lord of Youzhou, a prince of the Han Dynasty, ended his life here.
