Chapter 096: Dragon and Tiger Return to the Mountain 3
The battle of Longhu Mountain was unexpected by Yuan Lang, if it weren't for Yan Liang's army that had reached the point of exhaustion, I am afraid that he would never have the idea of fighting Longhu Mountain, after all, the terrain here is dangerous, and Longhu Mountain has been operating for many years, which can be described as easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is not easy to capture.

The 5,000 army led by Yuan Lang did not dare to move forward when they were approaching the foot of Longhu Mountain, because this battle was like chasing ducks to the shelves, and they were not prepared at all.
Yuan Lang hid in the woods with the army, he could already clearly hear the sound of the battle in front of him and the sound of the wall collapsing, and there were all kinds of noises in between, in a word, the battlefield ahead was very chaotic.
"Report ~ Huang Shuai, the front mountain of Longhu Mountain has been conquered, and the enemy army is swarming up, I'm afraid the general trend has gone!"
This is the news that Tanma has returned from an adventure, and when it is heard in Yuan Lang's ears at this time, it seems to be like a thunderbolt on a sunny day.
The front mountain should be the most heavily defended place for the cottage, if the front mountain has been conquered, then the Dragon and Tiger Mountain is indeed no danger to defend.
The original advantage of Longhu Mountain was that it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, but now that it was difficult to overcome by Yan Liang's army, it was only a matter of time before they captured Longhu Mountain.
The purpose of Yuan Lang's trip was originally to cooperate to defend Longhu Mountain, but now it seems that the previous goal is no longer possible.
"Order the army to retreat to the back mountain to respond, remember, you can't be defeated, how many can be rescued, especially Bai Shuai's whereabouts, once you find Bai Shuai, bring it to me immediately!"
Yuan Lang had to make such a decision, rather than fighting hard face-to-face with Yan Liang, it was better to avoid his edge to save people, as for whether the grain and grass on Longhu Mountain were taken by Yan Liang, this can only depend on whether God favors him and whether he favors the people of Changshan County.
Without further ado, after receiving the order, the two generals Huang Long and Bai Bo immediately reorganized their military horses and marched to the mountains behind Longhu Mountain, and Yuan Lang's identity was too important, so he stayed in the Chinese army to make sure that everything was perfect.
The battle situation in the back mountain of Longhu Mountain is much more deserted than that in the front mountain, but this does not mean that there is no garrison of Yan Liang's army, it seems that Yan Liang has no last resort and has planned to cut off the back road of Longhu Mountain.
The number of enemy troops in Houshan is about 3,000 people, which is much less than the 5,000 people dispatched by Yuan Lang's entire army, and it seems that they can fight.
Yuan Lang immediately commanded the battle in the Chinese army, and he ordered Huang Long and Bai Bo to outflank them from the two flanks in a roundabout way, and the enemy army in the back mountain was taken by surprise.
As soon as the order was given, the army had just set off, Yuan Lang and the others suddenly saw a loud "boom" in the back mountain of Longhu Mountain, and then the fire suddenly rose, spreading and spreading in an instant, directly reflecting the discoloration of the sky and the earth.
What a fire!
Yuan Lang's emotion was not yet finished, and suddenly, the back cottage door of Longhu Mountain suddenly opened, and hundreds of people swarmed out from the back mountain, holding knives, guns, and clubs in their hands, rushing towards the enemy troops guarding the mountain.
Yuan Lang concluded that this was the beginning of the breakthrough of Longhu Mountain, but fortunately, his two armies had also been dispatched, and they just surrounded the enemy troops who were waiting here for the benefit of the fisherman together with the military horses of Longhu Mountain.
The battle was about to break out, although Yuan Lang was not on the battlefield in person, but he could still feel his heartbeat accelerating from a distance in the rear, as if he was already in the melee of a thousand people.
Yuan Lang's excited heart had not yet calmed down, and he suddenly heard Tanma panting and driving his horse to run and shout loudly: "Huang Shuai, the enemy army has about 3,000 people who have made a detour from the front mountain, and they must have known the movement of our army and are rushing to fight a decisive battle with our army!" ”
When Yuan Lang heard this, his heart suddenly chuckled, if he wasn't young and didn't have heart disease, he would have died in a hurry.
How many troops does Yuan Lang still have in the rear now, and the number of fingers will not exceed 1,000 at most, while the enemy army is now more than 3,000 people, and the disparity in strength is immediate.
If it were in normal times, Yuan Lang 5,000 and Yan Liang 5,000 would definitely be invincible, after all, his army had a few catties and taels, and Yuan Lang knew it in his heart.
So in other words, if you don't retreat now, then wait for the enemy army to be harvested by the incoming enemy.
But can it be withdrawn now?
Of course not!
Huang Long and Bai Bo have already led the army into a bitter battle, if Yuan Lang's rear army retreats, then the situation on the field will be reversed immediately, not to surround the enemy before, but to be surrounded by the enemy, this is not to ruin the lives of Huang Long, Bai Bo and other military horses, but also to give the retreat of Longhu Mountain to others.
Yuan Lang's brain was running rapidly at this time, and he had to come up with a way to get the best of both worlds, which could not only save his own people's lives, but also give the men and horses of Longhu Mountain and Zhang Baiqi enough time to retreat.
After thinking about it, Yuan Lang felt that there was only one way at present, and that was to use his example as bait!
What is the biggest temptation for Yan Liangjun, is it military rations?
Maybe the military rations are important, but the more important thing is to win the battle of Changshan County.
As the saying goes, capture the thief and capture the king first, it is impossible for Yan Liangjun not to understand this truth, if he can capture Yuan Lang, the county guard of Changshan County, in one fell swoop, then why should they go to rob the military rations again? Wouldn't it be more enjoyable to enter Changshan County to burn, kill and loot!
The decision was made, Yuan Lang took his "wishful thinking" idea, leaving only more than 100 people as the troops to deal with Huanglong, Baibo and even Longhu Mountain, and then led the rest of the troops, holding high the banner of the commander, and rushed towards the direction where the enemy army came.
This is the first time that Yuan Lang has led the army as a vanguard envoy, and it is usually Huang Long and Bai Bo who rush out of a way, or stabilize the situation, Yuan Lang will appear.
But at this moment and then, Huang Long and Bai Bo couldn't count on it, and Yuan Lang had to take risks in order to win in danger.
The back mountain is not very far from the front mountain, about five miles away, so the encounter between Yuan Lang's army and the enemy army only happened a quarter of an hour later.
Yuan Lang was already prepared in his heart, he stood up, occupied the favorable terrain, and waited for the enemy troops who could already be seen to take the initiative to send forward.
The enemy did not expect to meet Yuan Langjun here, but also because the sight was obscured by the thick smoke after burning from the back mountain, and everyone could only see each other in a foggy state, so the enemy army suddenly stopped moving, and did not dare to take a step forward, for fear of being ambushed.
When the two armies encountered, it was surprisingly quiet, Yuan Langjun could drag it out, so they didn't want to do it first, and the enemy army didn't know the details, so if they could not do it first, they wouldn't do it first, let's see first.
However, this scene did not last long, only to see the enemy army separated from the crowd to drive out a general, he stood in front of the horse and his own phalanx, raised the spear in his hand, arrogantly pointed at Yuan Langjun, and shouted loudly: "A certain Yuzhou Wen Chou, his subordinates never kill unknown generals, you wait for the young people, if you don't want to die in vain, quickly dismount and surrender!" ”
