When Xu Shu captured Jinyang between his hands, Li Jin also flipped through the mountains and rushed to Zhan County.

Zhan County is not big, located in the hinterland of Taihang Mountain. Although it was not used by Montenegro as a base camp in Montenegro, it was also a key defensive place in the north of Montenegro. Since he knew that Shangdang was recovered by Xiang Ao in the Northern Regions, Zhan County, which was originally deployed at will, was deterred by Xiang Ao's army, so that Zhang Yan had to send the general Tao Sheng to garrison again, and there were 3,000 elite Montenegrins.

The mountain pass where Zhan County is located is called Zhan Mountain, which is also the origin of the name of Zhan County. At the same time, it is also the source of Dongguo Water and Qingzhang Ershui, although it is sparsely populated and there are no fertile land minerals, it is the northernmost and most important barrier of Shangdang. Originally, after Xiang Ao's army occupied Shangdang, he had always been obsessed with the dazzling Zhan County, and he even planned to recapture Zhan County from Montenegro in the cold winter. But he didn't want to cause Xu Shu to take the opportunity to attack Jinyang because Montenegro wanted to ally with Baibo, so that Xiang Ao had to send troops to attack Zhan County at this time.

Fortunately, Montenegro is the same as Bai Bo, although it is powerful, but there are indeed not too many generals, and there is no courage to send scouts into the territory of Shangdang to spy on Xiang Ao's army, so that Li Jun led the troops to the vicinity of Zhan County leisurely.

Zhan County is located at the bottom of the Zhan Valley on the west bank of Qingzhang, across Qingzhang, is still one of the giant mountains in the Taihang Mountains, less mountain. The cover of the jungle makes it difficult for outsiders to find the location of the county. If it weren't for the heavy snowfall, it would have taken a lot of time for Li Jinzhi, who had quietly touched him, to find the location of Zhan County.

At this time, the mountainside of Zhan Mountain is close to Qingzhang, and the terrain is slightly flat, which also gives Zhan County a foothold. However, at this time, the hills scattered between the counties made Li Jin frown. Such terrain, Li Jin has never seen it, in the center of Zhan County, there is a small hill, if there are soldiers stationed on top of this, looking down on Zhan County, you can find the sudden situation around Zhan County in the blink of an eye.

There are not too many city walls in Zhan County, most of the houses are built on the mountain, if you want to conquer Zhan County, you have to climb the mountains and enter the hinterland of Zhan County. Although Li Jin is not worried about the complicated street fighting, it is also too complicated. Looking from afar, Li Jin could vaguely see many people shuttling back and forth between the two small mountain passes, and he could imagine how many caves in Zhan County did not know the direction.

Even if he found a hunter who was slightly familiar with the area from Shangdang County as a guide, Li Jin believed that if he did not live in the county all year round, it would be difficult to distinguish the direction. But since he has made a military order in front of his own lord, even if all the tigers live in the county, Li Jin has no choice but to take the son from the tiger's den.

"General, the scout is back."

When Li Jin heard this, he withdrew his gaze from afar, turned around and asked, "How?" What is the strength of the county? How to arm? ”

"General, I don't know the strength of the army for the time being, but there are about a thousand people who can be seen. It's well armed, but it's not leaky. Immediately, the scout drew a rough outline of the stone mound beside him with a stone, and continued: "There are not many walls in the city, and most of the soldiers live in holes carved out of the stone walls, and most of them are archers. In my opinion, the cave should be connected, and I don't know where the link is. ”

Li Jin looked at the scout's drawing and was not afraid, and his mind kept flashing in his mind about the Zhan County that he had just overlooked, and he already had a general understanding of the defense of Zhan County in his heart, and even where the military camp was set up, Li Jin could guess a little.

"Order the whole army, eat dry food to satisfy hunger, don't make a trace of fireworks, violators will be beheaded immediately!"

"Let the soldiers find a leeward place, rest for a while, and be ready at any time!"

"No!" Lieutenant General Li Jin took the order and tiptoed away, as if he was worried that if he stepped too loudly, the enemy on the opposite hill would find out. It seems that I have to use the night to touch the past, try to break into the city, and fight directly in the streets! Li Jin thought so, turned around and stared at the county seat of Zhanxian County in the distance.

In such a dangerous place, the strategy was no longer of great use, and Li Jin had to rely on the individual ability of the Northern Regions Army to forcibly capture Zhan County.

It was night, the wind was cold, and the goose-feather snow continued during the day, making it difficult to see the movement ahead. Although the underwear of the Northern Regions Army is made of the best down jackets, the cold armor around the body still makes many soldiers shiver. Even though Li Jin had ordered to rest, most of the soldiers were still moving in a small area, trying to keep their bodies warm and moving at any time.

Under the cover of the wind and snow, Li Jin led the soldiers and horses of the Northern Regions to slowly lean towards Zhan County. As for the secret outposts set up outside the county, even if Li Jin's army was discovered, Li Jin was not too worried.

The wind and snow were really too strong, and the soldiers in armor marched very slowly, and there were only thirty miles between the two hills.

"General, the soldiers guarding the city gate seem to be asleep!" The deputy general whispered in Li Jin's ear with some excitement.

When Li Jin heard this, he hurriedly raised his head, only to find that the army had come to the gate of Zhanxian County less than ten zhang away, and when he looked up, he could see the Black Mountain soldiers sleeping like dead pigs on the city wall. Li Jin breathed a sigh of relief, if he was discovered at this time, let alone ascending the city, he was afraid that he would be forced back by the archers on the city wall before he could approach the city gate.

Li Jin didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and took the lead alone, rushing towards the city wall, the flying claws in his hands dancing loudly. This claw is different from what it is used on a daily basis, and the claw is wrapped with sackcloth wrapped around its body.

When he came to the bottom of the city tower, the flying claws that Li Jin danced so hard that he couldn't see clearly came out of his hand, and flew between the battlements of the city wall in the blink of an eye, and quietly nailed them to the battlements. Li Jin pulled hard a few times, and after making sure that it was firm, he climbed up along the rope on the flying claw with both hands, and the soldiers behind him followed closely in the same way. For a moment, the city wall of Zhanxian County, which was not too long, was densely packed with ropes hanging.

The moment he climbed the city wall, Li Jin did not hesitate, pulled out the short blade on his waist, and cut the throat of the soldier who was still sleeping in a few breaths.

In the city of Zhan County, whether it is the people or the soldiers of Montenegro, they did not notice anything strange on the city wall at all, and they are still asleep. Even the soldiers who were arranged to patrol did not know where to hide to keep warm. Li Jin snorted coldly and disdainfully criticized: With such military discipline, you dare to raise troops to make trouble? After the hundreds of warriors who attacked climbed the city wall, Li Jin led the soldiers to turn over and jump off the city wall, formed a formation, and ordered people to open the city gate and let the army enter the city.

The heavy gates slowly opened with a dull rumbling sound with the combined efforts of the soldiers. Li Jin had a calm face and stared at the city. Such a loud noise was sure to wake up the defenders stationed at the gates, and the battle was about to break out.

After a while, there was a deafening sound of drums in the city, and the tents stationed not far from the city gate lit up one after another.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack~!" There was panic, there was an orderly assembly, and suddenly the city gate became like a boiling hot pot, and it was noisy.

"There are enemy troops, there are enemy troops!" At a glance, the soldiers who came out of the tent saw the Northern Regions army waiting for the army to enter the city.

"Kill!" Of course, Li Jin would not wait for the Black Mountain Army to assemble and form a formation, and without waiting for the army to enter the city, he led hundreds of warriors behind him to rush towards the shining camp tent. At this time, Li Jin had changed into a long spear in his hand, and with the hundreds of most elite people led by him behind him, like jackals, he swept towards the disheveled and even rarely armed Montenegrin Army.

Suddenly, the blood and flesh in the tent were flying, and the shouts of killing and screaming were mixed together, so it was not lively. At the same time, there was a light in the inner city, and the angry command of the Black Mountain general could be heard in the distance. The unknown people of Montenegro also hurriedly carried their clothes on the boat, picked up the swords and spears used for hunting on weekdays, rushed out of the inner city, and gathered towards the city gate.

"I am Li Jin, the commander of the Northern Regions Zhenguo Gong, who came to conquer the traitors of Montenegro, and it has nothing to do with the people to retreat quickly!" Seeing this, Li Jin provoked the Montenegrin army that had just been stabbed to death, and shouted loudly, trying to use the name of his own lord to deter the people.

The people of Montenegro, who originally thought it was a bandit attack, were stunned and hesitated.

"Shameless officers and soldiers, slaughter my people!" After Li Jin drank heavily, there was a burst of angry shouting from the inner city. Then Li Jin saw a burly and handsome Montenegrin general with a length of eight feet riding out of his horse, leading hundreds of soldiers and horses to meet him.

"The thief will be named!"

"Black Mountain Army Tao Sheng is also!" Tao Sheng shouted loudly, without any intention of stopping, urging the war horse to go straight to Li Jin. Seeing this, Li Jin sneered, flicked his spear, threw the corpse of the spear head far away, and rushed towards Tao Sheng on foot, as if he was not afraid of the hundreds of cavalry accompanying Tao Sheng behind him.

Most of the people of Montenegro are people who have been persecuted by various forces in various places, including families, heroes, and mountain bandits. Since he dares to rebel with Montenegro, he must not be afraid of death. In addition, it was a night raid, Li Jin didn't want some of the indiscriminate people to besiege him, and he was always thinking about how to lure out the Black Mountain generals. I didn't want this person to take the initiative to send them, which made Li Jin excited.

Li Jin stepped forward, and the Northern Regions soldiers who accompanied him also did not retreat, following Li Jin's footsteps, fearlessly rushing towards the galloping cavalry.

When the generals were less than three zhang away, Li Jin took a big step forward, jumped up nearly two zhang with an angry shout, and stabbed the spear in his hand, heading towards Tao Shengmian's door. Tao Sheng, who was galloping, couldn't stop the momentum, his face was cold, he gently pulled the war horse, the direction of the rush deviated slightly, and he also raised the spear in his hand and slashed at the waist of Li Jin, who could no longer take advantage of the momentum in the air, in an attempt to kill Li Jin in front of the horse.

Li Jin's eyes lit up slightly, and in mid-air, his waist twisted strongly, dodging the spear slashed by Tao Sheng, taking advantage of the momentum to spin, and swept towards Tao Sheng's back with all his might. Tao Sheng's face turned dark, he was a little frightened in his heart, he slapped the war horse, and also jumped lightly, turned around in the air, and blocked with a horizontal gun. With a loud bang, Tao Sheng's entire body instantly lost its center of gravity, and just fell towards the rushing Northern Regions Army formation.

Tao Sheng endured the blood gushing out of the five internal organs, but turned around with a gun, Tao Sheng was frightened: My life is over!

"Captured alive!" At the moment when Tao Sheng was about to give up resistance, Li Jin shouted, the military formation changed instantly, changed to stab, and dozens of spears dragged Tao Sheng who fell. The formation is changing, and Tao Sheng has been pinched and snatched. Li Jin, who also fell into the enemy's formation, quickly assaulted and swept with a spear, shook many soldiers off his horse, turned over and boarded the war horse beside him, and ran back to his confidant's camp in the blink of an eye, and shouted loudly with his spear on the top of Tao Sheng's head: "We are ordered by the Duke of the Northern Regions to come to recover Shangdang County." If you put down your weapon as soon as possible, you can avoid death. If you continue to resist..."

"No mercy!"
