"Report! Lord! Zhang Yan of the Montenegrin Army suddenly led the army out of the mountain and launched a fierce attack on the bayonets of our army, the front line was lost, and the Montenegrin Army Brigade went south towards Lin Shucheng! ”

Yecheng!

Yuan Shaozheng gathered his generals to prepare to take advantage of the opportunity to launch the best general attack before the Montenegrin army fell apart, and besieged Zhang Yan in one fell swoop.

Unexpectedly, he received the news that Zhang Yan suddenly dispatched the whole army to kill the mountain, which was really a big sensation.

Yuan Shao said: "Now that Zhang Yangou has jumped over the wall in a hurry, out of the Taihang Valley, he is a worm, it's time to clean him up completely, and order all departments to tighten their pockets, this time it is necessary to kill Zhang Yan and capture hundreds of thousands of people in his hands." ”

"It's the lord!" Yuan Shaozhong's generals commanded.

So Yuan Shao personally approved the hanging, and led the Yecheng army to rush in the direction of Lin Shucheng.

In fact, Yecheng is not far from Taihang Mountain, and it is even closer to Lin Shucheng, as long as you cross a Huanshui River, it is only a few dozen miles away.

That's why Yuan Shao was restless, like a mang on his back, always on guard against the fear that the Montenegrin army would attack his base camp Yecheng.

This is also the reason why he made up his mind to let Gongsun Zan more, and let Liu Bei get the state first, but also to eradicate Zhang Yan first.

When Yuan Shao arrived, Lin Xicheng was defeated by Zhang Yan, and the city was full of Zhang Yan's banner of the Black Mountain Army.

Yuan Shao looked at the military flag on the city, it was really dazzling, and asked: "Now that Zhang Yanzi has attacked Lin Shucheng, how do you think you want to break him." ”

Feng Ji said: "My lord, you can make Tao Sheng, Zhenggu and other troops enter the mountain from the right flank to attack Zhang Yan's lair, cut off his retreat, and order the Shangdang Taishou Gaogan to advance into the mountain from the west of the Taihang Valley, and we send good generals to the city every day to invite Zhang Yan to fight, one drags him down, and the other consumes his strength and consumes his grain and grass." ”

Yuan Shao nodded and said, "Great goodness, just do what Yuan Tu says!" ”

Yuan Shao has also learned to be obedient recently, and when he goes out to fight, he does not bring a group of strategists, but one or two, so that there can be a lot less internal contradictions and conflicts.

This method was learned by him from Xu Ding.

Although Xu Ding is an enemy, he has to admit that Xu Ding rarely makes mistakes, and every time he goes out on a campaign, he almost never brings more than two strategists, and many times he doesn't even bring them.

The benefits of this are still quite obvious, and it is easy to unify opinions, and there will be no difficulty in choosing.

Whether it's wrong or right, just one word.

If you persist in the wrong path, you can also step on a piece of light.

So this time, Yuan Shao brought Feng Ji and Xun Kan out, and the others were released or stayed in Yecheng.

After receiving Yuan Shao's order, Tao Sheng and Zheng Gu, the two anti-bone boys of the Montenegrin Army, took people to take the path to Zhang Yan's lair.

They were all old bandits on Taihang Mountain, and they were very familiar with all the valleys, so they mixed up near Zhang Yan's lair very smoothly.

The two were familiar with the terrain of Zhang Yan's old cottage and the location of the patrol on duty, so they waited until after dark to touch it.

At this time, Zhang Yan's nest was extremely empty, and the army had all gone out, leaving only some old, weak, sick, disabled, women and children.

Tao Sheng and Zheng Gu touched the bottom of the mountain very smoothly, and then approached up the valley path.

"Quick! Keep up! ”

On the top of the mountain, there is silence, pitch black, nothing can be seen, the wind blows from the mouth of the valley, quite wet and cool.

Soon, Tao Sheng and Su Gu's subordinates solved the strong men guarding the gate of the village in the dark and opened the mountain gate.

"It's done! Kill it, whoever dares to stop it will be killed! ”

"It's the boss!"

Tao Sheng and Su Gu's subordinates were in good spirits one by one, Zhang Yan was the largest force in the Black Mountain Army, and there were more treasures in their hands than them.

The population is also large, and naturally there are more women.

took Zhang Yan's cottage, and the captives were all theirs.

The excited and bloodthirsty Tao Sheng and his subordinates rushed in one by one, and quickly walked along the mountain road to the top of the mountain, because the top of the mountain was the real core of Zhang Yan, where most of the female dependents and money and food were stored.

It was only halfway through the rush when suddenly countless bright torches lit up on the top of the mountain.

"Kill!"

At the same time, there was an earth-shattering shout of killing, and countless Montenegrin soldiers with bows and crossbows rushed out and intercepted them on various mountainside roads.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Suddenly, countless arrows shot down, like a tide of locusts!

"Puff puff ......"

Most of the generals of Tao Sheng and Su Gu suddenly shot into hedgehogs, and they suffered heavy casualties.

"It's not good, there's an ambush, back down, out of the valley!"

Tao Sheng and Zheng Gu are not stupid, looking at the posture on the mountain, they know that there is a problem, and they have fallen into a plan.

So he hurriedly ordered his subordinates to retreat.

"Kill!"

They wanted to retreat, Zhang Yanbu on the mountain pursued, the shouts shook the valley, and soon countless torches and crossbow arrows also appeared on the high ground on both sides of the mountain gate, and countless crossbow arrows were shot, dense and fast, killing Tao Sheng, and the army could not be defeated, so they could only flee in a hurry.

"Bastard, Zhang Yan, this bastard, actually left so many crossbowmen in his lair, where did he get such a powerful crossbowman?" Zheng Gu was very puzzled, Zhang Yan's strength was only limited to more people than them, and the weapons and other things were still about the same.

But the soldiers and horses ambushed tonight are too different, except for the many crossbow machines, it seems that the momentum and tactics are not like a rabble.

"Zhang Yan must have been guarding against us and deliberately hid the elite troops, otherwise he is the leader of the alliance, let's go quickly." Looking at Zhang Yanbu, who was catching up from behind, Tao Sheng said with palpitations.

He nodded and didn't dare to delay longer, after all, this piece was Zhang Yan's territory, and Zhang Yan's subordinates were more familiar.

So the two left in a panic with the remnants, and the next day the two counted the losses, and then they didn't dare to stay in Taihang Mountain, and returned to Jizhou.

…………

came to see Zhang Yan's lair, drove away Tao Sheng and Zheng Gu, and left behind to thank a scribe: "Lord Xu is really like a god, Tao Sheng and Zheng Gu, the two bastards, really came to attack my Dazhai at night, but unfortunately let them escape." ”

"There's no way, your Zhang Alliance Master has taken the main force out, if you leave five thousand young people here, I can leave all Tao Sheng and Zheng Gu behind, and solve these two disasters in one fell swoop." The scribe said helplessly.

Sun Qing also had a look of regret, who let Zhang Yan fight to the death with Yuan Shao, the army was taken away, leaving this old, weak, sick and disabled, let him take care of the family, and it was a kind of luck to be able to guard it.

It turned out that the scribe next to Sun Qing was Xu Shu, Xu Ding's new adviser, and after negotiating with Dong Zhao that day, Xu Ding ordered Xu Shu to take the left cavalry guard of the hundred-man team into the mountain to find Zhang Yan, and prepare to contact them to go out of the mountain to the southwest, and he could answer.

It's a pity that he was still a step late, Zhang Yan couldn't stand the rebellion of the various mountains of the alliance, and he was angry and wanted to fight with Yuan Shao and go out of the mountain to the east.

However, it was also when Xu Shu was in a hurry, and after talking with Sun Qing and others who stayed behind, he concluded that someone would attack Dazhai in the past two days, so he lurked.

This is also why Tao Sheng and Zheng Gu feel weird.

Because the left cavalry guard is called the god guard, each guard brings a crossbow and an ambush, which is naturally able to kill Tao Sheng and catch him off guard, just like the feeling of being overwhelmed by a large army.

"I hope the alliance leader can return to the mountain soon!" Sun Qing said worriedly.

Lao Chao Dazhai is preserved, Zhang Yan can't have a big deal there, and the main force will be gone, otherwise he will defect to Weihaihou and serve less capital.

Xu Shu shook his head and said: "I'm afraid that your alliance leader won't be able to come back, Yuan Shao will definitely make the army drag him in Lin Shu City, as long as he moves, he will be finished." ”
