Chapter 382: Hunt and Kill

The entire Xianbei army was in chaos, and Gongsun Chan led the army to slaughter frantically. And Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao's cavalry had already turned around and left at this time. Zhang Liao continued to rein in the alien captives. Zhao Yun went straight to Badun.

Before coming, Yuan Shu gave Zhao Yun an order, no matter what the outcome of this battle is, Badun must die, let Zhao Yun leave the others alone, just stare at Badun. The task of assisting Gongsun Chan was entrusted to Zhang Liao, who was the best at group warfare.

But in the end, out of admiration and favor for Gongsun Zhan, as well as his unbearable loss of the Han army, Zhao Yun still chose to go to the aid of Gongsun Zhan. Gave up this opportunity to kill Badon. In order to make amends, Zhao Yun led the cavalry to frantically chase after the army of Bunton, intending to eliminate the hero of Bunton.

If Yuan Shu wants to control Liaoxi and the local Wuhuan people, he must eliminate the ambitious Shan Yu, and then raise a puppet. Zhao Yun knew the importance of Bandun to his side, he was extremely anxious at this time, if he was escaped by Badun, what face would he have to face Yuan Shu?

However, Zhao Yun did not regret what he had done before, he believed that if Yuan Shu knew, he would have made him do the same. The interests of the nation are above all else, and Yuan Shu can calculate Gongsun Zhan, but he will definitely not harm the interests of the Han people. When the external enemy invades, the muzzle of the gun is unanimously outward, which is the bottom line that all the princes of the world insist on. Just like even though now is the best time to eliminate Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao didn't make a move.

Sometimes, there is nothing wrong with being stupid and pedantic, but if you are wise, it is not necessarily a good thing to be too smart and shrewd. The progress of culture does not mean the progress of quality, just think about the simple people of this era. Every time you slaughter more dogs, ruthless is the most reader.

However, there are gains and losses in everything, if Zhao Yun did not choose to let go of Bang Dun and support Gongsun Zhan, Gongsun Chan would not owe a favor again, and everything after that would not have gone so smoothly. Therefore, a drink and a peck have their own destiny, so why bother yourself?

Zhao Yun frantically pursued and killed the Wuhuan cavalry in the rear, but its marching speed was indeed not as fast as the Wuhuan with many good horses, and he was slowly left behind by the Wuhuan cavalry led by Bunton, and watched the other party gradually disappear into the distance.

"Damn!" Zhao Yun looked at the many war horses that had collapsed to the ground behind him, and angrily stopped the pace of chasing.

"General, aren't we chasing?"

"If you can't catch up, you won't force it, anyway, the other party will definitely return to Liaoxi, notify Gongjin that they will go to intercept, and we will go directly to Liaoxi after we rest." Zhao Yun said.

This defeat made Zhao Yun extremely helpless, he could fight and couldn't catch up, in vain? The importance of war horses is evident in the grasslands.

At this time, Gongsun Zhan was leading the army to slaughter a plate of scattered Xianbei soldiers on the battlefield, regardless of the fleeing Bandun and Helian.

"Lord, Helian and Badun have run away, and the evil is exhausted, should we catch up?" Zou Dan watched Zhao Yun chase after him and walked away, and said with some interest.

"No, you don't." Regarding the suggestion with Zou Dan, Gongsun Chan refused directly without hesitation.

Tian Yu knew Gongsun Zhan's thoughts very well, and explained: "Helian is a waste, and it is more beneficial to let him go than to kill him and our army." He didn't do much when he went back, and maybe it would cause civil strife in Xianbei. And the Badun..."

Tian Yu quietly glanced at Gongsun Zhan's face, and said in a low voice: "Bun Dun is indeed a generation of heroes, but Wuhuan's lair is in Liaoxi, too far away from us, there is no need to pursue." At this point, it is better to kill more prisoners and some soldiers than anything else. ”

Zou Dan saw Tian Yu's gaze and knew it in his heart. The lord still has a grudge against Yuan Shu!

It is harmless to let go of it, but it is a big trouble for Yuan Shu who wants to gain a foothold in Liaoxi, and Gongsun Zhan obviously still doesn't want Yuan Shu to interfere in the affairs of the north.

After thinking about these clearly, Zou Dan let go of the idea of making great contributions, and without saying a word, he concentrated on leading the army to chase and kill the surrounding Xianbei cavalry.

With nearly 200,000 remnants of the army who are almost powerless to fight back, this is completely a gluttonous feast. Those who can participate in the battle are skilled young men and horses, and with a little training and well-equipped equipment, they are qualified soldiers. Therefore, Gongsun Zhan did not blindly kill, but mainly took prisoners, which was his capital for fighting Yuan Shao in the future.

Similarly, Zhang Liao had already begun to collect prisoners. Although he didn't participate in this battle much, he helped Gongsun Chan at the most critical two points in time, if it weren't for his help, Gongsun Chan's battle would probably end in a crushing victory.

Gongsun Zhan's victory was doomed, and Zhang Liao had no doubt about it. In this battle, Gongsun Chan exerted a few percent of his strength, and Zhang Liao couldn't see through it, but it was definitely not all, it was probably to save his hand for the next battle with Yuan Shao. Not to mention anything else, the three thousand horse armor provided by Yuan Shu did not appear on the war horse of Baima Yicong from beginning to end, otherwise it is impossible to say whether Baima Yicong's attrition in this battle can be in three digits.

But in any case, Zhang Liao's contribution is undoubted, otherwise, if Gongsun Chan doesn't say that his hole cards are exposed, he will definitely reduce tens of thousands of soldiers.

Gongsun Zhan accepted this sentiment and acquiesced to Zhang Liao's act of capturing the captives, even if it was a little interest in return. Originally, Zhang Liao killed and wounded so many enemies, so he was qualified to capture prisoners.

Zhang Liao was also very knowledgeable, with a total of 10,000 troops, together with the previous Southern Huns, who captured 30,000 or 40,000 young men and nearly 100,000 horses. This trip can be regarded as a full return, with a reduction of only more than 200 troops, but he has gained so much loot, and he has also won the favor of Gongsun Zhan.

I have to say that the combat power of the army led by Zhang Liao on the battlefield of this large-scale chaotic battle is really terrifying. After two fierce battles, the army of tens of thousands of people suffered only more than 200 losses, which was much less than that of Baima Yicong. Zhang Wenyuan's might is undoubtedly revealed, and the slightest hint of sharpness is terrifying.

The number of foreign cavalry who died at the hands of Zhang Liao's army in this battle was at least more than 50,000, and this was because Zhang Liao was bent on capturing prisoners and did not participate too much in the struggle. Zhang Liao is the natural enemy of large-scale miscellaneous soldiers, just like the Southern Huns are to small-scale elite Tianke, even fierce people like Lu Bu have to bow their heads. If it weren't for the group of violent soldiers who did not follow the routine, the Southern Xiongnu would probably be able to toss around in Bingzhou for decades.

"General Gongsun, since the battle is over, then we will retire for the time being. The matter of clearing the remnants of the alien race is still a matter for the general to worry about. Zhang Liao tied the captives with hemp rope and settled the whole army, and then came to say goodbye to Gongsun Zhan.

When the war was over, he had no reason to stay. Now Gongsun Zhan's attitude towards them is a little subtle, try to stay away as much as possible to avoid friction and suspicion between each other.

Gongsun Zhan turned around and completely ignored Zhang Liao's farewell. The scene was slightly embarrassing, Tian Yu hurriedly stood up and said: "The lord of a certain family is tired and unable to send him off, and I hope General Wenyuan will not mind." ”

"It doesn't matter! General Gongsun has a lot of affairs, so I'll leave first. ”

"Thank you very much for the general's assistance this time, see you again in the future! Generals cherish! ”

"Hmm!" Zhang Liao bowed slightly, glanced deeply at Gongsun Zhan's back, turned around with a smile and led the army away.

Hearing the sound of horses' hooves fading away, Gongsun Chan sighed slightly and said in a low voice, "I hope there is no chance of goodbye!" ”

Tian Yu, who was next to Gongsun Zhan, heard this, and smiled slightly: "The lord is really wise, Yuan Highway must have known what the lord is planning!" ”

"Huh!" Gongsun Chan smiled coldly: "The people of the Yuan family are really confident!" Before I even started fighting, they decided that I was going to lose, and even calculated what was going on behind me. ”

"The Yuan family is two heroes, one south and one north, if they are united, how can there be a place for other princes in this world? Fortunately, the Yuan family is all domineering people, otherwise we wouldn't have a chance. Tian Yu's tone was slightly helpless. The current situation in the world, the courage of the old Yuan family is undoubtedly revealed. The two strongest princes in the world are both from the Yuan family, and the combined territory of the two has occupied nearly half of the world, which is so terrifying.

"These people from this family are so proud! One day they will lose on their arrogance! Gongsun Chan said in a deep voice.
