Seeing this flag, Zhang Liao immediately knew who was coming. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhang Yan, the general of the Zhonglang in Pingnan, the commander of the hundreds of thousands of Montenegrin troops in Taihang Mountain!
Zhang Yan's original name was Chu Yan, originally a thief, the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out in the first year of Zhongping, Zhang Yan took advantage of the situation, the Jizhou Yellow Turban Rebellion was quickly pacified by Huangfu Song, and Zhang Yan was in the Taihang Mountains mixed with the wind and water, different from the Yellow Turban Army in the plains of the siege of the city, Zhang Yan with people and horses gathered in the mountains and forests, the army continued to grow, and Changshan, Zhao County, Zhongshan, Shangdang, Hanoi and other places of the rebels contacted each other, the ministry developed to nearly one million people, known as the "Black Mountain Army", invading the counties, the court was unable to encircle and suppress, and Zhang Yan also sent a messenger to the court to ask for surrender, He was appointed by Emperor Ling as the general of Pingnan, so that he could manage the land of the Taihang Mountains and River Valley, and could recommend filial piety to the imperial court.
Therefore, among all the thieves in the world, this thief is the best, and he has been ordered by the imperial court, and he can be filial piety, which means that he is almost a prince.
Previously, Zhang Yan secretly communicated with Yuan Shao and plotted against Jizhou, but Guo Jia was divided and broke with Yuan Shao.
Looking at the countless people and horses pouring out of the mountains and forests, Zhang Liao's eyes narrowed, damn, why is this thief here?
At this time, Guo Jia on the side suddenly said urgently: "Lord, this is a godsend!" Zhang Yanping was hidden in the valley and was difficult to figure out, but now he took the initiative to attack and just caught it! If Zhang Yan is taken, the 800-mile Taihang Mountain will be owned by the lord, and Jizhou will also be exposed under the lord's soldiers! ”
When Zhang Liao heard this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately looked at Dian Wei and Gao Ran's generals, and said in a deep voice: "Array, fight!" ”
As the drums suddenly shook the sky, a great battle broke out in full force under sudden circumstances.
Suddenly, perhaps even Zhang Yan, who suddenly rushed out, was a little dazed, he took tens of thousands of horses, and originally wanted to question the Black Mountain thief disguised by Dian Wei, but Zhang Liao didn't say hello to him, so he went straight to war.
Most of Zhang Yan's soldiers and horses had not yet poured out of the mountains and forests, and the front was already engaged with Dian Wei's ghost-faced army.
The Montenegrin Army inherited the combat style of the Yellow Turban Army, although it has gone through five or six years of development, but the thieves themselves are unruly and unruly, and do not like to restrain the habits, which determines that their combat style is a swarm mode, although they have rich combat experience and know some ways to cooperate, but when they encounter the same brave array combat, they will undoubtedly suffer a big loss.
This is a kind of restraint in the tactics, not to mention that the Montenegrin Army abandoned its own advantages in mountain warfare this time, and came to fight hard with the most elite ghost-faced army under Zhang Liao outside the mountain, which was undoubtedly asking for hardship.
Under the leadership of Zhang Yan, the Montenegrin army is not afraid of death and rushes forward bravely, but the ghost face army with the Tiger Battalion as the core is even more fierce under the leadership of Dian Wei!
In this battle, Dian Wei led 3,000 tiger soldiers to charge ahead, the remaining 5,000 ghost face troops attacked from the right flank, Gao Ran led 5,000 soldiers and horses from the left flank to attack, and Zhang Liao sat in the command of the Chinese army personally, and ordered the newly attached 5,000 crossbowmen to shoot in the rear.
The battle was extremely fierce, and the two green dragon halberds weighing more than 30 catties in Dian Wei's hands were like two dragons, with 3,000 fierce tigers, fighting a bloody way in the enemy formation, and rushed straight to Zhang Yanzhong's army.
Zhang Yan is not tall, but he is as light as a swallow, agile, and martial arts, brave and good at fighting, known as "Feiyan", his force is second to none in the entire Montenegrin army, so he saw Dian Wei rushing his Chinese army, he was not afraid at all, and led his most elite Feiyan army to meet Dian Wei.
But as soon as he fought, Zhang Yan's face changed, Dian Wei's bravery and ferocity exceeded his expectations, but after a few rounds, his arm became numb, and the two long thorns in his hand almost escaped.
Dian Wei got Zhang Liao's order to capture this Zhang Yan, and at this time against Zhang Yan, he used the greatest means, the two-iron halberd offensive was like a storm, forcing Zhang Yan to retreat again and again, but fortunately, he was agile, moved and dodged very quickly, and he could barely maintain it for a while.
Behind Zhang Yan, a group of Feiyan troops saw that Zhang Yan had lost the upper hand, and hurriedly rushed up to help Zhang Yan, but Dian Wei was the most afraid of group battles, not to mention that there were also subordinate tigers to help, forming a formation, becoming one with each other, the more fierce the battle, the more powerful the momentum, like a fist to scatter the sand, and the scattered sand can only become more and more scattered.
In addition to the Chinese army Zhang Yan fell behind, the left and right flanks of the Montenegrin Army also completely fell behind, and the ghost army on the right flank was tightly formed, like a big wall advancing flatly, unstoppable. And the left-wing Gao Ran was a fierce general, and the battle was quite orderly, and it was not something that these Montenegrin troops could resist.
Several units of the Montenegrin army were defeated and retreated, and these Montenegrin troops were originally formed by the aggregation of several bandits, and once they lost the upper hand, they fell into a chaotic situation of fighting on their own, and their combat effectiveness was even more unable to be displayed.
However, the black mountain thieves who kept pouring out of the mountains and forests behind them could not rush to the front and could not participate in the battle at all.
This is exactly what Zhang Liao saw the opportunity quickly and blocked most of Zhang Yan's men and horses in the mountains and forests.
Zhang Liao sat in the Chinese army, and ordered Shi A to take the brake warriors to observe the thieves and soldiers, and take advantage of the chaos to capture the thief and capture the king.
The Black Mountain thieves were caught in a chaotic battle, there was no order, those commanders lacked generals, they were so anxious that they yelled, and their subordinates gathered their own guards, which were easy to identify, and a group of brake fighters quickly rushed into the chaos and took advantage of the opportunity.
Zhang Yan saw that he had failed in his attack, and immediately retreated, wanting to retreat into the mountains and forests, and use the terrain of the mountains and forests to block the enemy soldiers, but how could Dian Wei let him go, Zhang Yan's several desperate escapes, were stopped by Dian Wei, and he could only passively block, but the huge force from the halberd made his arm gradually sore.
Sonor!
A long thorn in Zhang Yan's hand was twisted away by Dian Wei's iron halberd, and he hurriedly wanted to grab the thorn, but was stabbed in the shoulder by Dian Wei's halberd, and the other long thorn was also knocked away.
Dian Wei took advantage of the situation and caught Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan roared loudly, wanting to break free, but under Dian Wei's huge force, how could he break free.
Dian Wei twisted his hands behind him, handed them to the tiger warrior behind him, glared at those black black mountain thieves with disgust, and shouted: "Zhang Yan has been captured, don't you surrender quickly!" ”
Seeing that the enemy commander was captured, all the fierce tigers roared: "Zhang Yan has been captured!" Surrender quickly! ”
The Feiyan army on Zhang Yan's side was horrified, and hurriedly came up to grab people, but was forced to retreat again and again by the imposing tiger warriors.
Dian Wei roared, rushed forward a few steps, grabbed the banner of the Pingyan Zhonglang General, held it with both hands, and swept violently, the Feiyan army was swept all over the place, screaming miserably, many people were frightened by Dian Wei's bravery, and began to flee backwards.
When the other Montenegrin thieves heard the change in the Chinese army, they saw that the banner had also been taken away, and their morale fell greatly, and in a blink of an eye, there was a large rout.
This is the weakness of a swarm of battles, if you fight a tailwind battle, you will become more and more brave, but once you encounter a heavy defeat, you will collapse very quickly!
The thieves in the mountains and forests also saw that the commander was captured and wanted to rush out, but they were hindered by their own rout, and it was difficult to rush over to save people.
At the same time, in the chaos, many Montenegrin commanders were also captured or killed, and the enemy soldiers broke up faster.
When Yang Han and Guo Cheng rushed to the aid with their soldiers and horses from Fukou, the Montenegrin army was completely defeated and the battle was coming to an end.
In the Chinese army, Fu Zhu, Xian Pei, Xun Chen and others saw with their own eyes the power of Zhang Liao's soldiers and horses, and they were quite shocked.
And Zhang Liao ordered the later reinforcements to immediately surround the more than 20,000 black mountain thieves who rushed out of the mountains and forests, and at the same time shouted, "Zhang Yan is captured!" Surrender quickly! ", to disintegrate their morale.
In a battle of 10,000 people, it may take several hours to achieve a result, but once the enemy's morale is broken and the enemy loses the heart to resist, it will be simple. (To be continued.) )
