As the war progressed, the slogan of "one-two, one-two" of the state army was gradually replaced by "the will to be trapped, there is no life or death", and "the soldier in the trench, I am invincible", and the soldiers preferred this slogan that could add their combat strength!

The first phalanx of 10,000 people formed by the elite of the Montenegrin Army was gradually squeezed back by the 1st Brigade of the Trap Camp in the middle of the Bingzhou Army, using a rolling offensive style of play.

The courage of the flesh is also gradually dissipating, because they have seen what it means to be truly fearless to death, and what it means to move forward bravely.

Seeing that the situation was critical, Zhang Niujiao asked Chu Yan, who had bandaged his wounds, to stay in the Chinese army, sit in command, and personally led the second elite phalanx of 10,000 people to go up.

The Montenegrin army in the first phalanx retreated from both sides in an orderly manner, without ramming its second phalanx.

Lu Bu saw that the main force of the Montenegrin Army in the middle had replaced a group of fresh troops, and he also hurriedly made adjustments, so that the independent regiment was replenished to the left flank, and the three regiments of Cheng Lian's Rong 1st Brigade were replaced and transferred to the middle to make up for Xu Rong's lack of troops.

The formation of the state army was changed, and the speed and efficiency of the troops' defense were very high. Soon, the third regiment, which had been a reserve until now, stood behind the team in the middle.

At the same time, Lu Bu ordered the Bingzhou troops on the left and right flanks to also start rolling to attack and advance, so as to prevent Xu Rong in the middle from being too prominent.

The morale of the second phalanx composed of the elite of the Montenegrin army was obviously not as high as before the battle, and they witnessed how their robes were put down by the infantry of the Bingzhou army like chopping melons and vegetables, how they were crushed, and they were afraid of the battle.

Zhang Niujiao saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart, he could only loudly boost morale, promising that as long as the Han army was repulsed, everyone would be rewarded, which finally gave these elites of the Montenegrin army the courage to continue to charge.

Xu Rong took advantage of the fact that the enemy had not yet come up, replaced the shield soldiers in the front row who were physically exhausted or injured with the new three regiments, and then continued to maintain long-range suppression, and the additional thousand crossbowmen were also put into battle.

In the second phalanx of the Montenegrin Army, there is an obvious shortage of longbowmen, which is normal, after all, technical troops such as longbowmen are not these bandits and grass robbers, who can be trained and equipped in large quantities in a short period of time.

The advantages of long-range attacks are becoming more and more apparent to state armies, and longbowmen can attack openly without fear of their own protection.

Chu Yan could clearly see in the back that the attack of the Montenegrin army was becoming more and more difficult, and the ordinary soldiers on both wings were barely resisting the counterattack of the Bingzhou army by virtue of their numerical superiority, and the second phalanx in the middle gradually fell into disadvantage.

I really don't know how these soldiers of the Bingzhou Army were trained, tireless, and not afraid of life and death, he saw with his own eyes that after some of the Bingzhou soldiers were injured, they had to struggle to die with the soldiers of the Montenegrin Army in front of them.

Chu Yan had nothing to do, he had to send his henchman Du Chang led two thousand precious Black Mountain cavalry, the bandits could make up two thousand cavalry, it was not easy, he only hoped that these two thousand cavalry would relieve the pressure on his two wings and buy a little time for the middle.

Seeing that the cavalry of the Black Mountain Army was dispatched, Lu Bu smiled slightly and looked at Hou Cheng beside him, "Hou Cheng, your cavalry brigade will attack, just attack from the side where the Black Mountain cavalry came out." ”

"Wen Yuan, you also lead the Dangkou cavalry to attack, and the guard battalion and reconnaissance battalion will all press on it, and help Xu Rong reduce the casualties of the trapped camp a little. There's no way they're going to hit me. ”

Hou Cheng and Zhang Liao were ordered to lead their respective armies to attack. Hou Cheng led 5,000 cavalry to meet Du Chang's Black Mountain cavalry and rushed up, and the state cavalry and the Black Mountain cavalry were not at the same level at all.

Whether it is armor or weapons, they are far ahead, and their personal skills are not the same, the Black Mountain cavalry is trained by grass cutters, and the cavalry of the state army is fought with real swords and guns with Xianbei people on the grassland.

Ranged attacks with crossbows and throwing spears have an overwhelming advantage, and hand-to-hand combat, armor, courage, and horsemanship are all overwhelming opponents.

With a charge, the 5,000 Bingzhou army almost wiped out the Black Mountain cavalry with 200 casualties, which made Chu Yan feel distressed.

It's too late to regret it now, and after the cavalry of the state army defeated the Montenegrin cavalry, they began to outflank Chu Yan's rear in a roundabout way, and constantly attacked the infantry of the Montenegrin army from a distance. Even crossbows and throwing guns were used.

So far, Chu Yan can only let the last of the elite of Montenegro form a phalanx to block these cavalry.

And at this time, there was also a huge turning point in the frontal battlefield, and the addition of two battalions of the Dangkou Cavalry was like a wave of flood peaks that broke the embankment.

These two battalions have at least 300 marksmen, each of whom is the master of every shot, and sniping at the infantry from a distance is like a fixed target, just like training, and there is no need to worry about someone counterattacking.

Zhang Niujiao also heard the horn of his own cavalry attack, and knew that the second brother must have been forced to the last desperate situation, it seems that in this decisive battle, the Montenegrin army was still defeated by the Bingzhou army.

Alas, even a five-fold numerical advantage could not defeat Lu Bu's army, even if there was still one last resort that had not been used, it seemed that the Bingzhou army was really the strongest army in the world!

There are many fighting styles and weapons that I have never seen before, such as crossbows that are fired in bursts, throwing spears that cannot be stopped at close range, and this kind of offensive formation that advances. It's not unjust to lose!

Just as Zhang Niujiao was distracted, a feathered arrow shot into his chest from a hundred zhang away, and even if he was wearing armor, he could not stop this sharp arrow.

When the cronies and generals around him saw the arrows, they surrounded them one after another, and Zhang Niujiao ordered breathlessly: "Quickly call the second master, I can't do it." ”

Someone immediately went to call Chu Yan, in fact, Chu Yan had already seen Zhang Niujiao hit by an arrow, he used his light body kung fu and jumped directly from the horse, and the distance of several hundred zhang was instantaneous.

He quickly hugged Zhang Niujiao into his arms, "Big brother, you hold on, let's withdraw our troops and return to the old camp in Jingcheng Mountain." Chu Yan looked at her brother with tears in the corners of her eyes. We still have one last trick to use? ”

"Second brother, I know my own business, I'm afraid it won't work, and now my brother regrets not listening to you, cough. I have to fight with the state army, after I die, the commander of the Montenegrin army is you, you all have to obey the orders of the second master, do you hear? Zhang Niujiao still scanned the cronies and generals around him with sharp eyes.

Everyone should say yes in unison. "Second brother, we are defeated, don't use the last move, you must bring the team back to the cottage, and our Montenegrin army will not occupy these cities in the future."

"It's better to be a bandit, no one in the Taiping Road can beat Lu Bu and Huangfu Song, the good days are not long, let's not mix with them." Speaking of which, Zhang Niujiao had already lost his breath.

Chu Yan hugged Zhang Niujiao's corpse and cried bitterly, and the general Zheng Gu reminded him, "Second master, you are now the big leader of the Black Mountain Army, and 100,000 brothers are waiting for your order?" ”

Only then did Chu Yan stop her tears, handed over Zhang Niujiao's body to her henchman Zhang Baiqi, and looked at everyone, "Leaders, after today, I will change my surname to Zhang, my name is Zhang Yan, to commemorate the big leader of Zhang Niujiao, my Black Mountain Army must find back today's defeat." ”

After fighting the Montenegrin Army, Lu Bu's Yellow Turban journey also came to an end. Thank you for voting and subscribing!
