Chapter 399: Black Mountain Zhang Yan

At this glance, the number of those thieves is tens of thousands, at least tens of thousands, and at worst, I am afraid that they can reach 100,000! It's hard to imagine that such a huge army of soldiers and horses appeared under Lu Bu's nose so suddenly! And in the face of these 100,000 Taihang bandits, Lu Bu was also silent.

He never expected that Guo Tao would become a prophecy! He really ran into these Taihang bandits on the way back! And he may not have encountered ordinary bandit robbery! With such a large number of people, I'm afraid they are the main force of thieves in that Taihang! Compared with them, Lu Bu's five hundred people seem very thin in this vast world.

"Don't act rashly, my lord!"

At this unexpected moment, Li Ru stepped forward and admonished, "I think these bandits just want to loot supplies, and they have no intention of attacking our army. From this point of view, I am afraid that the cavalry just now just came to test it, and after learning about the elite of our army, these people did not act rashly! It was an accident, and I think they had some scruples, so they didn't blatantly besiege us. ”

"You're saying these people aren't going to besiege us?"

Lu Bu frowned slightly, for such a long time, these people seemed to really ignore Lu Bu and their existence, ignored them, and just swept away quickly to the east. It carried the weight of the looting and marched at a high speed. This really surprised Lu Bu!

"Exactly!"

Li Ru nodded slightly, "I think there are a lot of old and weak among these people, if they really fight, they won't be able to please them." Besides, our army can come and go freely with cavalry, and even if they want to besiege us, they are powerless on this plain! I think the thief chief on the other side obviously knew this, so he never moved! ”

Holding on to the reins, Lu Bu could hear Chitu's gasps, if according to his previous character, in the face of such a group of thieves, even if he stepped forward, why not fight with them? But at this time, there is a wife and daughter behind him, and he can be free, but his wife and daughter are caught in this crowd, and I am afraid they can't make any waves.

It's just that you really have to watch these thieves loot and sweep away in front of them!

It took a few quarters of an hour for no thieves to continue to come out in Yangqu City. The thieves who came out did not stop for half a minute, and went straight to the east. Lu Bu pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword, and his eyes were fixed on the thief boss.

He was very athletic, dressed in iron armor, wearing a yellow robe, with a golden helmet on his head, straddled his horse, and calmly commanded the thieves to evacuate. To his right and left, there was a crowd of cavalry around him! On the yellow flag, five big characters were embroidered with gold edges, "General Lang in Pingchang!" ”

Lu Bu observed that the number of these thieves was very large, but the cavalry was not many. There were only about 2,000 people, all of whom were around the thief. The thief general glanced at Lu Bu from time to time, also to prevent Lu Bu from making any moves. No matter how the bandits galloped away, these cavalrymen did not make a rash move, but instead stared at Lu Bu and the others.

Sure enough, as Li Ru expected!

After seeing the behavior of the other side, Lu Bu also sighed secretly! Don't look at these people staring at them, but they don't mean to take the initiative to attack them. Obviously, he also received the strict order of the thief general, even if the number of people was much larger than Lu Bu's group, he still did not take a single step. In this way, Lu Bu is even more convinced that these bandits also have scruples! It's just a pity, why doesn't he Lu Bu have scruples? If it weren't for the fact that his wife and daughter were there, or if there were few soldiers and horses, Lu Bu wouldn't just watch the bandits slip under their noses.

At this time, if the three thousand nine original righteousness were here, Lu Bu would definitely be able to break the enemy army! Don't look at the large number of these bandits, but this combat power, Lu Bu is definitely not eye-catching. What is really a bit of a threat, that is, the more than 2,000 horses, with the original meaning of 3,009, can easily clean up these 2,000 horses. Then follow and attack those bandits, and you don't need to engage them with hands-on combat, just use cavalry to defeat these people on their own! And once these bandits are defeated, they don't need to be slaughtered by Lu Bu and them, and letting them trample on their own will be a big victory.

Lu Bu thought so, but he didn't know that the thief general on the other side was also thinking about him.

Zhang Yanben is not surnamed Zhang, his surname is Chu.

He has a strong figure and quick hands. Between the mountains and forests of the Taihang Mountains, he was really as light as a swallow, and no one could catch up with him. The millions of thieves on Taihang Mountain are all called "Feiyan!" So Chu Yan is sometimes called "Chu Feiyan." And the reason why it was later renamed Zhang Yan was because of Chu Yan's eldest brother Zhang Niujiao! The leader of this Black Mountain Bandit is also his Chu Yan's savior! Before Zhang Niujiao died, let everyone regard Chu Yan as handsome! This enabled Chu Yan to become the leader of the millions of bandits on Taihang Mountain.

The bandits on Taihang Mountain are millions! But in fact, there are hundreds of thousands of people, and there are still mountains among them! But they are still famous, different from ordinary bandits, under the leadership of Zhang Yan, these bandits are also organized and disciplined! Therefore, these bandits in Taihang Mountain are also called the "Black Mountain Army." "This combat power is still above the Baibo army east of the river. And Zhang Yan's ability is also extraordinary, and it is also staggering to be in Taihang over the years.

It's just that the family is big and the business is big, and it's not easy for Zhang Yan to be in charge! What about the hundreds of thousands of mouths on Taihang Mountain, it is not easy to feed. When the cold winter is approaching, there is not much grain on this Taihang Mountain, and in previous years, it was able to loot Jizhou and take a lot of grain and grass. But this year, he and Yuan Shao have done it, and the grain looting in Jizhou is gone, and Zhang Yan has no choice but to loot and merge the state. It's just that the situation in this merger is also a big change now, and since that big Han Wenhou Lu Bu entered the merger, the defense forces of these counties and counties have obviously been strengthened. This made people loot several times but to no avail, Zhang Yan had no choice but to personally lead the troops to capture Yangqu and plunder some supplies. How do you know that this has just finished looting Yangqu, but I ran into Lu Bu and these people.

Zhang Yan's eyesight is very strong, and at this glance, he can see that Lu Bu and these people are not idle people! Also to verify his idea, Zhang Yan asked some cavalry to go and intimidate, but these people were not only not afraid, but instead raised arrows to shoot them, which confirmed Zhang Yan's idea!

Don't look at the enemy army, there are only a few hundred horsemen, but if they really want to escape, Zhang Yan has no choice. Besides, he came out this time just to solve the supplies, and he didn't want to cause trouble. After this Yangqu is broken, who knows if there will be a large army coming immediately? Most of the soldiers and horses he led this time were some old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers and horses, and he also wanted to break through a small Yangqu, which did not require much effort, these soldiers and horses were strong and strong, and then carried the materials. If you really let them go to war, I'm afraid it won't work.

If you forcibly besiege these hundreds of people, even if you can kill them, the casualties will be not small! And more importantly, he, Zhang Yan, really can't bear to watch these old and weak people die in vain!
