After leaving behind a lot of corpses and companions, the more than 15,000 Black Mountain thieves fled away, seemingly out of danger, but when they fled for more than ten miles, they were dumbfounded when they saw the Han army array in front of them.

I saw the Han army opposite, with sword and shield soldiers in front, supplemented by spearmen, and then the archers and crossbowmen were arranged in order of range, a simple and effective formation, in the past, these experienced Black Mountain bandits, there would be many ways to break the formation, but now, this simple formation is their life-threatening talisman.

"Zhonglang, although Zang Xuangao has a small strategy, but the Black Mountain thieves have a wide army, and it seems inappropriate to use him as a general and take charge of the troops to resist him." The Han army was in the middle of the army, Ko Yi looked at the fleeing thief army, his tone was not good, his mood was very bad, Fu De handed over the task of destroying the thief to the fledgling Zang Ba, which made him feel a little threatened, it was Zang Ba's military talent that made Lu Yi quite jealous, worried that Fu De would continue to reuse Zang Ba in order to balance him.

"If Yan rebels are arrayed to fight to the death, there is still a way to live, and now, their people have collapsed, how can our army be defeated? The general is also multi-hearted! Hearing what Lu Yi said, Fu De smiled slightly, simple and perfunctory, he naturally guessed Lu Yi's thoughts, so after finishing speaking, he continued to talk to Lu Yi about what they would do next after defeating Zhang Yanbu's pawn.

Fu De didn't care about Zhang Yan's rout, he didn't believe that a rout army with a scattered formation and fleeing in all directions could defeat his own Han army with a tight and neat formation? What's more, behind these routs, there are thousands of Youzhou assault horses, flanking back and forth, if so, the Han army can make these mud legs broken, it will become a joke.

Of course, although the Han army will not be broken by the Black Mountain bandit army, but if you want to destroy the thieves like this, it is also difficult, this place is open, if Zhang Yan is interested, take the initiative to bypass the Han army formation, and escape from both sides, although it will be killed and injured again by the Youzhou Tucai behind him, and can not return to Hukou Pass as soon as possible, but it will not give the Han army waiting for the opportunity to annihilate them.

This is also the reason why when he was in Huguan at that time, Shangdang County Taishou Wang Hai admonished, if he allowed the thief army to go deeper, and then gathered soldiers and horses, Zhang Yan could be completely encircled by the Han army and annihilate them. However, if you block it on the spot now, unless Zhang Yan fights a decisive battle, it will definitely be difficult to do your best.

For Fu De, who is also deeply influenced by Fu Quan, he will naturally not let the people go, if he is allowed to use the suffering of the people to achieve victory, he can't do it, so even if this battle can only repel Zhang Yan, Fu De is still willing to do so, he believes that even if the eldest brother Fu Quan is here, it will be like this.

As for what Shicai Liyi said, although there is a suspicion of reversing black and white, Fu De understands in his heart that in fact, Liyi does not take Zhang Yan and others in his eyes at all, and he does this just to remind himself not to check and balance him too much, because since he entered Youzhou, Liyi has not had the opportunity to make meritorious contributions as a deputy general, which really makes Liyi very unhappy.

Although the Han army did not carry any baggage, there was no car, crossbow and other things, but they were not afraid at all, this time to pursue Zhang Yan, Fu De listened to Ju Yi, Zang Ba's opinions, lightly armed, everyone only brought weapons, armor and three days of dry food, so that the Han army could come to Zhang Yan's department so quickly, but unfortunately, this is the case, or let this gang of black mountain thieves harm a lot of people in Shangdang County.

"Order, stick to the front army, the thief army dares to come, those who take a step back, cut!" In front of the Han army, Zang Ba looked at the Black Mountain thieves who were getting closer and closer, and said with a solemn gaze, even if the Black Mountain thieves were scattered, he didn't dare to be careless, because if his front army was scattered, it was really possible to be reversed by the Black Mountain thieves, in that case, he would have a lot of fun.

"Brother, don't worry, the younger brother is here, and he will never let the Black Mountain thieves break the formation." Sun Guan replied, and then trotted a few steps and rushed to the front line of the military formation, where was a group of people he had personally trained, and he had to take the lead in this battle. Now a small tun chief is no longer touched by him, he wants to become a general, he wants to get ahead, and all this, the previous fight against Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju because of the main attack of the Youzhou army, they got too little credit, now, it depends on how he fights Zhang Yan in this battle.

In the Black Mountain Bandit Formation, Zhang Yan saw that the Han army was not enough to block it, so he immediately frowned, and at the same time discussed with the other Qu Shuai who had gathered on the way to deal with the current situation.

If there were no thousands of pursuing cavalry behind him, he would definitely be happy to put up a fight with Fude, although he was afraid of Fude's brother who participated in the pacification of the Taiping Road, but he had no fear of Fude's little brat. It's just that now there are enemy troops in front and chasing soldiers behind, if he leads his troops to break through the formation, it will be good to break through the Han formation at once, if he can't break through, it is very likely to fall into the siege of the Han army, in this way, there is no doubt that their casualties will be terrible, and no one can even escape.

Among the Black Mountain thieves, in fact, there are many mountains, and Zhang Yan is only the commander who was nominally elected by everyone, and the reason is naturally that his power is the largest. In normal times, the people of the Montenegrin Army may not hesitate to support its decision-making, but now that it is a matter of life and death for everyone, those little Qu Shuai naturally have their thoughts.

At the moment, many people proposed to retreat by detour, and they must not fight hard with the Han army, even if they may lengthen the retreat distance, and even abandon the materials they robbed, but for them, life is the first place. However, there are still many people who feel that they should smash the Han army's foot soldiers, but there is a premise, they ask Zhang Yan to use his cavalry and let the cavalry break through the Han army formation, at this point, Zhang Yan is very hesitant.

It's just that, no matter what the outcome of their discussion was, after they reached the firing range, the arrows of the Han army came from the sky as scheduled. But I saw that dense arrows were scattered like rain in the Black Mountain Thief Army, and for a time the arrows rained down all over the sky.

The Black Mountain Bandit Army has been coming and going to the mountains, and most of them are homeless people, and the soldiers who are in the big waves and sands do not have much iron armor at all, and most of them can only wear untidy leather armor, and even some people are just cloth clothes, where can they resist sharp arrow clusters. I saw that the soldiers fell to the ground in rows, wailing endlessly, and this round of arrow rain at least caused more than 1,000 casualties to these unprotected Black Mountain thieves. The Montenegrin army immediately retaliated, but in terms of long-range weapons, they mostly used homemade hunting bows, which had limited lethality and range, and only a few could cause casualties to the Han army, which was too great compared to their own losses.

Seeing this, there were Yu Poison and other Qu Shuai at the moment, and they no longer talked about strategy with Zhang Yan at all, they all suggested retreating from both sides, and when they saw the Han army attacking, they turned around and beckoned their subordinates to retreat from both sides. All of a sudden, it disrupted Zhang Yan's rhythm, and he didn't even have time to stop it, and thousands of people fled from both sides in an instant.

"Damn! A bunch of dog thieves! Zhang Yan scolded when he saw this, but at this time, he was no longer allowed to think about it, the rest of the people were all from the main battle faction, if he didn't fight and retreated directly, I was afraid that the army would immediately collapse. At that moment, Zhang Yan showed his ability to become the leader of the largest force in the Black Mountain Army, and shouted to the horsemen around him without hesitation: "The cavalry charges, and the rest of the people will march later, life and death, this battle!" ”

"Kill!"

After a while, I saw more than 1,000 cavalry formations of different formations, unarmored cavalry, shouting, speeding up the speed of the horse and charging with arrows, behind the cavalry, the remaining parts of the Black Mountain thieves were also under the leadership of their respective commanders, behind the cavalry, charging towards the Han army.

On the other side, Zang Ba saw this, and hurriedly ordered someone to notify Yan Liang and Gao Ran, so that they could act at the opportunity, once the thief cavalry broke the formation and the formation was unstable, they would rely on their halberd warriors to stabilize the formation. Zang Ba, who didn't know the strength of the Black Mountain Bandit Cavalry, chose the most secure strategy, but he soon knew that his preparation was useless, and the Black Mountain Bandit's cavalry was really poor.

In front of the Han army, I saw that Zhang Yan, in order to stabilize his position, gave up the cavalry sent by his old book, and pressed the front of the Han army.

More than 1,000 cavalry, after being killed and wounded by arrows more than 200, broke through the Han army formation, killed hundreds of enemies, and lost more than 500 people, only about 700 horsemen remained, trapped in front of the Han army, and they had no horsepower, they could only use the sabers in their hands to fight hand-to-hand with the Han soldiers under their horses.

After that, the slightly stunned Black Mountain thief foot soldiers also followed, they wanted to follow the cavalry to attack the Han army, and the current situation obviously could not give them a chance, so they had no choice but to use the tactics of the sea of people to fight the Han army under the greeting of their respective commanders.

"Humph! Zhang Yan'er doesn't know the height of the sky, such an inferior horse, dare to shake the majesty of my Han sky? "In the rear, Lu Yi saw the situation of the cavalry of the Black Mountain Army sprinting with no effort, and said disdainfully, he was born in Liangzhou, not only has a certain attainment in the command of foot soldiers, but also has a good reputation for cavalry, after all, people in the border area, who hasn't played on horses since he was a child? Even if the family doesn't have the money to buy a horse, equestrianism must be mastered, and Koji Yi, who was born in a wealthy family, is naturally the same.

For Zhang Yan's cavalry to be so bad, Lu Yi had a premonition when he saw those horses, not to mention that there were many bad horses and old horses in the Black Mountain Thief Cavalry, and the speed and explosiveness were not good. Let's just say that although there are some good horses inside, most of them are obviously a little thin, and they look like they have lost fat, and the horses have no strength to eat, so how can they be expected to charge, even if the horses are extremely loyal and very spiritual, but it is impossible to have the effect of cutting through the enemy formation without strength.

When the Han army used a dignified military formation to deal with the scattered Montenegrin bandits, this war was actually doomed, especially the number of Montenegrin thieves was about the same as the Han army, and in their rear, there were Youzhou Raiders who were about to arrive.

When the two armies were fighting, all of a sudden, they heard the thieves shouting: "Yan Shuai is dead, Yan Shuai is dead......

All of a sudden, like a magic spell, the entire charging Black Mountain Bandit Army was filled with this voice.

Before everyone came to their senses, they heard the sound of "Han cavalry is coming, Han cavalry is coming...... is coming", this time, it is really worse, at the moment, I saw that many Qu Shuai actually retreated, with his own people retreating from the left and right flanks of the Han army, regardless of the fact that there is still a big war now.

However, there is no need for them to take care of it, because most of the Black Mountain thieves know what to do when they hear these news, and only a small number of die-hard people are still struggling to support, and they want to avenge "Yan Shuai".

The so-called "Yan Shuai" is naturally Zhang Yan, this is what the Black Mountain thieves call him, but Zhang Yan's death was when he led his troops to continue to smash the Han army formation, and was shot in the head by a loss that came out of nowhere, and he was killed immediately and fell off his horse. And when the news of his death came, the impact was obviously huge, and the Black Mountain Bandit Army collapsed as a result.

With the diehard Zhang Yan in front of the Han army being killed, more than 4,000 cavalry divided into two ways and chased the scattered black thieves along the left and right flanks of the Han army.

But he saw that a broken feather arrow was coldly inserted into his head, and he could still see clearly except for an eyeball on his face, but the rest of the parts were blurred city flesh. It was caused by the stampede of the soldiers and horses of the two armies in the battle just now, and it looked extremely terrifying.

"I don't want a generation of thieves, but I ended up in such a situation, the real world is unpredictable!" Fu De shook his head and sighed, who would have thought that Zhang Yan, who controlled the millions of thieves in the Black Mountain, would die due to the loss of one, when he got the report of the soldiers, he immediately expressed his disbelief, if it was not for the identification of some descendants, he doubted the authenticity of the credit in hand.

Seeing Zhang Yan's blurred flesh and blood, Lu Yi asked Fu De: "Zhonglang, the head of the Yan thief, what should it be?" ”

"Cut it and send it to the Beijing division to report the victory. What about the blurred flesh and blood, this kind of great work, if you don't take a hundred, you can't take it. Fu De said coldly, anyway, Zhang Yan is dead, and this credit can't be run, as for this head, it's just to give an explanation. After all, such a rebel thief, you have to replace it with another head, it can't be said that it will be a hot mess, it is better to use the original version, if someone doubts the authenticity of the head, then let them find out the living Zhang Yan.

After that, Fu De ordered all departments to count the casualties, and soon wrote a battle report of more than 2,000 casualties and 5,000 enemies killed in this battle, and sent Zhang Yan's head to the Beijing division to report the victory.

Then, he ordered the soldiers to interrogate and subordinate the soldiers one by one, and they had done things that hurt the heavens and reason, such as slaughtering the people, raping ** women, and killing anyone who had flickering words and hesitation, and in the end, only hundreds of people survived. This is what he and his brother Fu Quan learned, not only to punish the bad guys, but more importantly, to establish authority for these black mountain thieves, because in his eyes, these pawns are cannon fodder later.

Then, Fude left a soldier and horse to protect the wounded soldiers, so he took the other soldiers and horses, with the soldiers and horses of the headquarters led by Koji Yi and the hundreds of soldiers as the vanguard, and went straight to Hukou Pass.
