This has a huge blow to the morale of the soldiers of the Cao Cao army. You are a dignified general, but you can't even beat an ordinary soldier?

This morale was like a pouring waterfall, and it instantly leaked from the top of the mountain to the ground.

This battle cannot be fought. It was not as good as the enemy and was already struggling to support it. Now that Xiahou Dun has been defeated, they are defeated immediately.

Almost all the soldiers were panicked. Many people were seized by their opponents at the first time to kill the fallen horse on the spot. Many people also wanted to turn their horses and want to escape with them. Then, many people were killed when they turned around.

In the end, the escaped soldiers were covered with wounds. They did not dare to look back and fled with Xiahou Dun.

"Chase!"

Gongsun Zan did not give up on the pursuit. With an order, he did not care about his own wounds and personally led the people to chase him.

Xiahou Dun felt depressed, and there were constant shouts of killing behind him, and the screams of his soldiers were also constant.

He wanted to turn around and fight Zhang Xiu, but unfortunately, with his current state, he could not deal with Zhang Xiu, so he could only escape in a cowardly manner.

Just escape back to Cai and find the large army, Xiahou Dun said to himself in his heart.

After chasing for a while, it was already dark and the pursuit behind him stopped, which made Xiahou Dun breathe a sigh of relief.

He asked the remaining soldiers to gather together and take everyone to find a place to rest.

After Xiahou Dun counted the number of people, the wound that had just been bandaged immediately cracked again.

Because it's so miserable.

This time, Xiahou Dun brought three thousand cavalry to chase Yuan Shu. Now there are less than a thousand soldiers gathered, and most of them are wounded.

It can be said that three thousand cavalrymen have been crippled.

If it were ordinary infantry, one or two thousand died, Xiahou Dun would not care. But what was lost now was the cavalry. Cao Cao was not rich enough to use the cavalry as cannon fodder. Even though these cavalry were not elite compared to the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, they were just ordinary cavalry, but they were also cavalry.

Even Cao Cao could not bear the loss of more than 2,000 cavalry at a time, so when Xiahou Dun thought that he had actually helped Cao Cao lose so many cavalry, he couldn't help it.

"Damn, Gongsun Zan, I swear to be incompatible with you."

Xiahou Dun gritted his teeth, and his right eye shone with a dangerous light in the fire, which made the soldier who was helping him with the wound tremble in his heart.

It was getting late and his subordinates were already exhausted. Xiahou Dun decided to spend one night here tonight, and then rushed back to Xia Cai tomorrow, and then raised his troops to deal with Gongsun Zan.

In order to prevent Xia Cai's people from being attacked by Gongsun Zan, Xiahou Dun has sent several waves of messengers to warn the deputy generals who stayed at Xia Cai.

However, early the next morning, Xiahou Dun took his men to the road. When he was halfway through, he received bad news.

The two deputy generals of Zhong Jin and Zhongshen who were left near Xiacai were still attacked by Gongsun Zan, and the army was defeated.

"Puff!" Xiahou Dun was so angry that he vomited blood.

The army had been defeated, and it was no point to rush back to Cai. Although Xiahou Dun was unwilling to accept it, he could only send people to gather the remaining troops and then rush back to the nearest Yuzhou.

This time, Cao Cao wanted to induce Shouchun, but he was taught a lesson by Gongsun Zan once and cut off his tentacles that stretched towards Shouchun.

This battle was enough to make Cao Cao feel heartbroken.

Gongsun Zan was able to win because he was familiar with the terrain of Shouchun, so he took a shortcut and beat Xiahou Dun by surprise. At the same time, he released Zhang Xiu, a long-hidden trump card, and defeated Xiahou Dun in one fell swoop.

After defeating Xiahou Dun, Gongsun Zan kept running without stopping, and led his men to travel overnight, still rushing back to Xia Cai from the shortest route, and sneaked into the remaining Cao Cao army in the middle of the night.

Now, Xia Cai has been occupied by Gongsun Zan. Here, it can become the vanguard for Gongsun Zan to attack Shouchun City, where you can attack and retreat or defend.

Cao Cao's tentacles were temporarily cut off by Gongsun Zan, but Gongsun Zan knew that Cao Cao would come to take revenge early, and there would be a battle between him and Cao Cao sooner or later.

His strength is not as strong as Cao Cao. If he wants to defeat Cao Cao, he must occupy Shouchun, include Shouchun in his ruling range, and then strengthen his strength so that he can have the confidence to fight Cao Cao and his chances of winning will be magnified.

"Send the order, the next goal, Shouchun City..."

Gongsun Zan was very fast, defeated Xiahou Dun and occupied Xia Cai. After having a forward base, he left thousands of people to defend Xia Cai to protect his retreat, and then led his army to attack Shouchun City.

Xia Cai was less than 200 miles away from Shouchun. Even when Gongsun Zan came to Xia Cai Shan for a few days and he showed up at Shouchun City with a large army, Yuan Shu had only returned to Shouchun City less than ten days.

Yuan Shu took advantage of Gongsun Zan's sneak attack on Xiahou Dun and escaped with his men, fleeing back to Shouchun City without looking back.

After returning to Shouchun City, the first thing Yuan Shu did was to return to the palace he built and enjoy it.

As for Xiahou Dun and Gongsun Zan who were still in Xia Cai, he chose to ignore it.
