This group of thieves is naturally Zhang Yan and others who fled from Montenegro who were beaten by Ma Qiang.

They came to Dongjun to defect to Cao Cao, but found that Yanzhou had changed, and Lu Bu's banner was planted on Puyang City.

Zhang Yan naturally knows who Lu Bu is, but it is precisely because of knowing and understanding that Zhang Yan does not look down on Lu Bu, who is used as a knife by various forces.

You yourself have been used as a knife, I think you are the boss, in order to be a blade and get bloody?

Why did I come here?

Therefore, Zhang Yan has been wandering on the side of the Yellow River with this group of Black Mountain Army, thanks to the battle between Lu Bu and Cao Cao, and Zang Hong's attention is all on the Northern Army, several forces have not noticed this group of remnants, and finally he found an opportunity to cross the river and rush into the battlefield, not only to meet Cao Cao, but also to make great contributions as soon as he came.

Cao Chun led Cao's cavalry out of the rear army, and after many battles, Cao Cao's cavalry numbered less than a thousand people, and he couldn't afford to consume it at all.

In fact, except for Hebei and Guanzhong, because of their proximity to the frontier, a large number of cavalry can be obtained, and in the Central Plains and even further south of Bashu and Jiangnan, it has been difficult to have a quantitative breakthrough in the number of cavalry.

In the Battle of White Horse in history, Cao Cao brought the main force to relieve the siege of White Horse, but in the face of Yuan Shao's five or six thousand cavalry, there were only five or six hundred in his army, which can be seen from the lack of cavalry in the Central Plains.

Therefore, in the previous battle, unless there were fighters, Cao Cao's cavalry would never appear.

And now, it's the fighter!

Cao Chun took the more than 1,000 cavalry, bypassed the trapped camp, found the Yanzhou rebels who were following behind Lu Bu's army, and then viciously inserted them.

This insertion, that is called a bloody radiance, is not only powerful, it is simply cruel!

And the thousands of Cao Jun's fresh troops behind Cao Chun followed the cavalry and slashed and killed, seeing that they were about to make peace with the Montenegrin army.

Lu Bu took the iron cavalry to find Zhang Yan, who commanded the Montenegrin Army, he slapped his horse forward, the war halberd flew, and several Montenegrin cavalry who wanted to stop him were beheaded by the blade of the war halberd without even seeing Lu Bu's appearance clearly.

"Thief! Do you know me Wenhou Lu Fengxian? ”

Zhang Yan watched Lu Bu rushing towards him, and only felt that this was not a general, but a meteor, directly smashing through several of his own defense lines, even more fierce than Zhao Yun and others he had seen.

Zhang Yan, as the chief general of the Montenegrin Army, has extremely rich experience in warfare, so I saw him pull out his war knife and shout, "Cover me!" Drive! Urging the horse to run, he didn't dare to linger at all.

"The thief will be gone! Look at the arrows!! Lu Bu threw out the war halberd, stabbed one person, then took out a bow and arrow, and pointed an arrow at Zhang Yan, and then pulled out the war halberd stabbed on the corpse and killed another person, a set of actions, flowing and full of violent aesthetics.

Zhang Yan kept looking back to observe Lu Bu's movements, and found that Lu Bu was holding a bow, so he hurriedly dodged, but he only dodged the vital point, and his shoulder was directly pierced by the wolf's tooth arrow, which almost made him fall off the horse in pain.

When Lu Bu saw that he had shot Zhang Yan, he couldn't help laughing, looked around, and felt that these thieves should flee in all directions, but soon he found out strangely that these thieves were actually fighting separately and continued to fight, without being affected by Zhang Yan's defeat and retreating.

This is that Lu Bu doesn't know the particularity of the Montenegrin Army, because the Montenegrin Army is a combination of the Yellow Turban defeated army and the bandits and bandits in various mountains, so the soul of the general as a soldier is not one, but innumerable, although Zhang Yan is the chief scoop leader, but also only responsible for determining the direction, really fighting, everyone still follows their leader, so Zhang Yan's injury has almost zero psychological impact on these sergeants.

Such a thing was also repeated in the Battle of Nanyang in the Yellow Turban in the past.

"Wen Hou! The thief army came suddenly, and the soldiers were already in turmoil, so it was better to withdraw to Puyang first, and wait until the situation of the thief army was clarified, and then it was not too late to fight! Chen Gong rode to Lu Bu's side and shouted, Lu Bu stopped fighting, looked at the battle situation, and found that this gang of thieves was all over the mountains, I don't know how many people there are, and my heart is also weak, and Cao Jun still has a tendency to make peace with these thief armies, and I can't help but feel a little weak in my heart.

He fought with Cao Cao for so long, in fact, in addition to taking a lot of advantage at the beginning, it was Cao Cao who took the initiative later.

"Withdraw!"

Lü Bu's army began to retreat, Cao Cao did not give the order to pursue, he knew that he lacked cavalry, once he pursued, it was easy to be killed by Lü Bu's cavalry, or to retain the results first.

Leaving profits behind is a difficult thing for most people.

When Cao Cao saw Zhang Yan, who was already in bandages, the sun was already about to set.

"Who is the general? Why help me? ”

Cao Cao had already seen the banner of the Black Mountain Army and guessed three points, but still asked.

"The last general, Zhang Yan of Montenegro, has heard the name of Cao Gong for a long time, and he is here to serve!"

It's actually Zhang Yan!

Cao Cao, Xi Zhong and the others looked at each other in surprise.

Zhang Yan's appearance here can represent too many meanings.

This not only means that Yuan Shao may be completely finished, but also the Montenegrin Army, which has been entrenched in Hebei for ten years, may also be finished.

As a stinger inserted between Jizhou, Bingzhou, and Youzhou, the Montenegrin Army has always made the three states not peaceful, and the season is good, once there is a famine, these Montenegrin troops will inevitably go out of the mountains to grab money, food, and women.

"General Zhang is the first emperor canonized the general of the Ping Yan Lang, governing the place for many years, hard work, I will be the Son of Heaven, and the title of general will be crowned, how is the war in Hebei?" Cao Cao helped Zhang Yan up, expressed his willingness to accept Zhang Yan, and would retain Zhang Yan's military power.

"Ma Ziyu's soldiers are brave and brave, and they are good at the art of a hundred crafts, in addition to gunpowder, there are also flying ships, which can be suspended hundreds of zhang in the air, and the fire oil is dropped, so that Yuan Gong's hoarding of grain and grass in Shexian County was burned, the military food was cut off, and the army had no combat power, when I arrived in Dongjun, I heard that Yuan Gong had fled to Bingzhou."

？？？

Flying Ship ???

Cao Cao and Xi Zhong's heads are full of question marks, how can the methods of fighting in Hebei and our Central Plains no longer seem to be the same world.

But Yuan Shao seems to have really been defeated, and it was a fiasco, although the state is a mountain and a river, but the people are small and the food is poor, and it is impossible to resist the northern army that has won the three states.

Cao Cao took a breath and looked in the direction of Puyang, he was a little anxious.

"Ming Gong, Yuan Shao is like fleeing to Bingzhou, Mushan will no longer be a natural danger of Bingzhou, but will become a natural risk of the Northern Army, so that the Northern Army can send a large number of soldiers and horses to the south."

Xi Zhong's words were really what Cao Cao himself was worried about, he frowned, pinched his beard, and kept pacing back and forth, thinking of ways to deal with it.

He is Cao Cao, his eyes are not just a Yanzhou, his eyes are the whole world!

"General Zhang, when you crossed the river, what was the current situation of the land of Hebei Dongjun?"

Zhang Yan replied, "Zang Hong gathered soldiers and horses in Dongwuyang, and there were not many soldiers and horses to defend Weiguo and other places. ”

Zhang Yan thought that Cao Cao wanted to cross the river and sneak attack.
