However, Yuan Xi really didn't know, and even Yuan Ping, Jiao Touch and other generals who participated in the battle of the bandits' night attack didn't know that the day after the night attack, the king of Taihang Mountain, the commander of the Black Mountain Army, and Zhang Yan, who was canonized by the imperial court as the general of the Ping Yan Zhonglang, had completely lost his calm, and even went crazy.

I saw that in the distant place from Lincheng, the majestic and majestic, hundreds of springs hanging on the wall and spitting beads, the vast area of the Taihang Mountain Range, suddenly appeared countless bandits, they came out of the valley one by one, the number is at least more than 10,000, these bandits are completely different from other bandits, they are all equipped with elite equipment, armed with spears and blades, cloth scarves on their heads, and even cavalry, crossbowmen followed, under the leadership of a small leader, slowly left Taihang Mountain, but his target was not Yuan Xi who was in Lincheng, Instead, he hurried towards Luan Cheng.

Just one day later, in the mountain range only a dozen miles away from Luancheng, on a low high mountain, a strong man with a majestic face and a fierce temperament, wearing black shoulder armor, holding a sharp spear, and at least eight feet tall, stood on a huge flat stone, majestic, but if you look closely, you can find that he is looking at a huge flat land under the mountain, and there is a deep sadness in his eyes.

"The Great Chief"

"General"

I saw that many commanders of the Montenegrin army wearing armor suddenly came behind the strong man, yes, this person was Zhang Yan, another hero in the north, who brought the Montenegrin army to the peak.

"How's it going?" Zhang Yan asked hoarsely.

"It's the army of Yuan Shao's third son, Yuan Xi, our army has cut off their back road, at this time they have received the news, all retreated into Luancheng, trying to rely on the city to defend, in addition, they sent a lot of messengers, although many were shot by our army, but it is estimated that they still slipped through the net to the rain" A fair-faced commander said solemnly.

"What about Yang Rao and Tao Gu?" Zhang Yan asked.

"The two captains have taken 5,000 people to the Three Gorges Ancient Ambush, which can stop the Han Meng army guarding Zhuocheng at any time, and the three places of Gaoyi, Zanhuang, and Zhaoxian have also arranged troops according to the general's orders, and they will always let them take care of themselves and cannot send troops to rescue them, it can be said that Luancheng is a lonely city now, but it is estimated that Yuan Shao in Yecheng may receive the news in two days at the latest, and then Yuan Shao's real elite army will come" The commander replied immediately.

Zhang Yan clenched his fists tightly, looked in the direction of the mountain, and muttered: "Fang Er was shot with a crossbow at the bottom of this mountain."

When he said this, a little tear suddenly appeared in Zhang Yan's eyes, and the others were also sad.

Zhang Fang, Zhang Yan's only son, was that he suddenly attacked Yuan Xi's army at night, but he didn't expect that not only did he not win by surprise, but he immediately surrounded him, although he finally broke out of the encirclement, he was also shot by the crossbow arrows of the Blood Tiger Battalion and died.

"He is young, he is impulsive, he doesn't understand the real cruelty of war at all, he doesn't have any talent, even I have been defeated by Yuan Shao repeatedly, he is not an opponent at all, I have never had any hope for him, and I will not let him lead the brothers, command the entire Montenegrin army, since the death of Gongsun Zhan, I have realized that compared to those real princes, although we have a lot of people, but we do lack the background, notorious, even if we win by luck, the people of the world will not recognize us at all, because we are thieves, So even if we have the upper hand, we will lose inexplicably, I originally planned to cultivate my voice, and if I have the opportunity in the future, I will serve a hero and give him and his brothers a perfect ending" When he said this, two lines of tears flowed from Zhang Yan's eyes, and the right hand holding the spear had gradually turned white because he was too hard, and roared: "But he didn't listen, he wasn't convinced, he wanted to prove his ability too much, thinking that he could create a great career with a few thousand people, this stupid boy"

"Chief, don't be too sad, today we will kill Luancheng and avenge the son" A tall cow and a big horse, with a bald head, stood up with anger and murderous spirit.

"In fact, this station, whether we lose or win, we are all losers, even if we win, it will not damage Yuan Shao's foundation at all, and even let the angry him directly raise an army to destroy me, but" Zhang Nan suddenly turned around and said: "If even my son is killed, I Zhang Yan is indifferent, then I will be a father in vain, this station, I have mobilized the only remaining 40,000 elites of the Montenegrin Army, and there is only one goal, that is, to wash Luancheng in blood and avenge my son, brothers, help me!" ”

"Rest assured chief"

"The general's order, we are duty-bound"

The commanders of the Montenegrin Army responded one by one, and their faces showed their loyalty to Zhang Yan, Zhang Yan can stabilize the army and control the situation after being defeated by Yuan Shao repeatedly, his ability and personality charm are absolutely unimaginable.

"Okay" Zhang Yan smashed the spear heavily, and said sharply: "Pass my order, the army is advancing rapidly, and launch an attack at noon today, Yan is broken his front teeth, and before Yuan Shao's reinforcements arrive, break through Luancheng and avenge my son."

"No!!"

。。。。。。。。。

On the other side, in Naluan City, Yuan Xi's army had taken over the city defense, all four gates had been closed, and soldiers were constantly shuttling back and forth above the city, preparing to defend it.

Jiao Touch and Yuan Ping, wearing armor and swords hanging from their waists, came to the city gate, looking into the distance with their brows tightly locked and serious expressions.

"It seems that among the bandits who attacked us that night, there must be someone who is very important to Zhang Yan, otherwise he would never be so impulsive" Yuan Ping, who was originally going to Lincheng to meet Yuan Xi, was stopped by the tens of thousands of Black Mountain troops who suddenly rushed out of the mountains and forests, the other party wanted revenge, and the target was them, and Yuan Xi in Lincheng was safe.

Jiao Feng shook his head and sighed, "Who would have thought that this would be the case, the number of the other party is definitely more than 30,000, and our army only has 10,000, so we can only wait for reinforcements"

"It is estimated that it is difficult, Zhang Yan has a way to lead the troops, since he has cut off the rear of our army, he will definitely think that we will ask for help, he is fighting the time difference, breaking through Luancheng in a limited time, and then immediately fleeing into the Taihang Mountains, although there are a lot of people in our army, and the city is sticking, but most of the troops are still new soldiers, many have not experienced such a big battle at all, and Zhang Nan's troops are veterans of the battlefield, this station is estimated to not be easy" Yuan Ping said solemnly.

"I'm afraid of his ghost, if you have the ability, come," Jiao Touch said ruthlessly.

Yuan Ping shook his head and said with some concern: "In addition to these, the key is that these three battalions of soldiers and horses are the foundation of the second brother, if there are heavy losses, how should we explain to the second brother?"

Jiao Touch suddenly hammered the stone wall, "The bandits who attacked us are idiots, you can stay in Taihang Mountain, do you have to do it yourself?" ”

"Hey, it's useless to talk about this now, it's a pity that Brother Zilong and Niu Er are not here, if there is one person, it would be good" Yuan Ping suddenly sighed.

"Why?" Jiao Touch was puzzled.

"The Montenegrin army has a lot of followers, and most of them are elite soldiers, but they have repeatedly defeated their fathers, and their morale has long been not as good as before, plus they do not have a strict system, they only need a fierce general, and they can challenge before the battle, they can thwart their sharp spirit, stimulate the blood of our soldiers, and if they are properly arranged, they can even achieve a big victory," Yuan Ping explained.

Jiao Touch was a little moved, but then said with a concerned face: "Forget it, Zilong and Niu'er have to protect Gongzi, and Gongzi's safety is the most important thing."

Yuan Ping nodded, and at this time, a high horn suddenly sounded, and suddenly the war horse roared, shouting to kill the sky, the earth was shaking, Jiao Touch and Yuan Ping were shocked, and immediately looked at the past seriously, only to see the endless army really rushing rapidly, looking at the tall figure in black armor and steaming, Yuan Ping suddenly said in a solemn tone: "Zhang Yan!" ”
