"What retreat? We are the vanguard, there is only advance, no retreat!"
Ju Yi was already bloodthirsty and retreat was out of the question. Now that more than 700 of his 1,500 vanguard soldiers had died, how could he be willing to retreat?
However, the messenger didn't care about the life or death of this outsider general. Since the other party was ungrateful and disobeyed orders, he naturally went to Yan Liang and Wen Chou's troops to convey the instructions.
"What? The lord has ordered that Zhao Hao has personally arrived to immediately regroup and retreat?"
"This...is this really an order from our lord?"
It's hard to believe either Yan Liang or Wen Chou.
This was an order issued by Yuan Shao.
"General! The order has been conveyed. This is the lord's token. Please, both generals, do not disobey the lord's orders. Farewell!"
After saying this, the messenger hurriedly retreated to Yuan Shao's headquarters to report the situation, because at this time, anyone who was late could lose their life.
Wen Chou and Yan Liang were naturally blindly loyal to Yuan Shao. Although the order was unreasonable, since it was Yuan Shao's order, they naturally obeyed it.
"First responders! Fire the crossbow bolts!"
Meanwhile, Ju Yi was already heavily besieged by Wang Jian's army.
"Heh, what's the use of putting up a stubborn resistance?"
Have Zhang Tang and Meng Ben bring Ju Yi to me!
The rest of the vanguard soldiers, leave no one alive!
"promise!"
Were the vanguard suicide squads weak? Obviously not.
But compared to our Qin elite soldiers...
That's not worth mentioning!
"Strong wind! Strong wind! Strong wind!"
"No! Block them! Block them!"
Looking at the elite suicide squad he had personally trained, Ju Yi's eyes were bloodshot with rage.
Why, why are the elite soldiers he secretly built still no match for Zhao Hao's men!
"Fall down!"
Under the combined attack of Zhang Tang and Meng Ben, the enemy was exhausted and powerless to resist.
"Let me go! Let me go..."
Before Ju Yi could struggle, Meng Ben delivered a sharp chop to the back of his neck.
"Yes, it's still breathing, so we can consider it a successful completion of General Wang's mission."
"General, we have fulfilled our mission and captured this traitorous general alive!"
Wang Jian simply nodded slightly, his eyes showing no joy at their victory in the battle.
It was as if they had simply accomplished something expected.
"I wonder how the harvest is over there..."
"Quick! Brother Zhang, Brother Gao, don't let Wen Chou escape!"
"General Yan Liang of Hebei? Take this axe from me, Xu Huang, Xu Gongming!"
At this moment, Wang Li, along with Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, had already besieged Wen Chou.
Zhao Yun, on the other hand, wanted to see how much progress his subordinate, whom Zhao Hao had assigned, had made in terms of strength.
"Shameless! Three against one!"
"Hmph, you've got some skill with the axe, but you're still way from killing me!"
Although Yan Liang could not easily kill Xu Huang, the pressure Xu Huang alone put on him was immense. If the young general in white robes behind him and the fierce general in black armor carrying the 'Bai Li' flag joined the battle, it would be even more difficult.
The only outcome was that Yan Liang would suffer a crushing defeat!
Not to mention, Yan Liang also vaguely sensed it.
That young general in white robes alone was capable of fighting against an army of ten thousand!
Even if he joined forces with Wen Chou, they probably wouldn't be a match for that young general in white robes.
However, at this moment, Wen Chou was so annoyed by Wang Li, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun that his scalp was tingling.
Although none of these three guys individually could defeat Wen Chou, when they were together, it was difficult to determine who was the best.
"Didn't your master, Yuan Benchu, send several men to outnumber our General Zhao that day?"
Today, we will repay them in kind!
"Wen Yuan is right, let's take this!"
The three men's attacks became increasingly fierce, and Wen Chou, wielding a horse spear, was already struggling to cope. It would probably be difficult for him to withstand the three men's combined assault before long.
After holding out for another dozen rounds, seeing that the army had already formed ranks and was slowly retreating, Wen Chou quickly withdrew from the battle.
Seeing this, Yan Liang also attacked and drove Xu Huang away, then joined up with Wen Chou.
"Our lord's army has already formed ranks and retreated safely. We should not linger in battle any longer."
Yan Liang frowned. He could tell that his brother was exhausted from dealing with the enemy general, and he was getting anxious.
However, before he could speak, the young general in white robes, whom he had been wary of, rode his pure white steed and stood in front of the two of them.
"Gentlemen, I am Zhao Zilong of Changshan. If you wish to leave, you shall first ask permission from the gleaming silver twin spears in my hand!"
Seeing Wen Chou raise his spear, ready to fight, Yan Liang quickly drew his sword to block his good brother.
"General Zhao, judging from your armor, you seem to be from the White Horse Cavalry?"
Zhao Yun smiled and said, "Currently, I will serve as a subordinate general under General Gongsun!"
Yan Liang nodded slightly, stopping Wen Chou's broadsword from slowly descending.
"Young man, you look young, but you have excellent martial arts skills and hold a high position under Gongsun Zan. You can be considered a young talent."
Gongsun Zan is not a wise ruler. I wonder if the young general is interested in switching allegiance to Lord Yuan?
"The Yuan family has produced four generations of high-ranking officials, and its members are numerous disciples and former subordinates throughout the country. Given a change in the political situation, they are sure to..."
However, before Yan Liang could finish speaking, Zhao Yun swept his silver spear across the air, stirring up dust and interrupting him.
"My surname is Zhao, and I am from Zhen Ding in Changshan Commandery. General Yan Liang, do you perhaps think that Yuan Shao's abilities are enough to make me serve him?"
The two men tensed up instantly, and then they remembered the guy's name.
That day, at Hulao Pass.
Our lord once sent Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and others to fight against Lü Bu and Zhao Hao. Isn't this Zhao Zilong the same Zhao Yun?
Does this mean Zhao Yun was a member of Zhao Hao's clan?
