The situation of the Taihang Mountains is precipitous, has always been regarded as the important place of soldiers, its first begins in Hanoi, north to Youzhou, stretches for thousands of miles, the mountains are cut by the Juma River, Hutuo River, Zhanghe River, Qin River, Dan River, etc., forming a number of horizontal valleys, the local name is "陉", the ancient has the name of "Taihang Eight Mountains", it is an important channel for east-west traffic.

And because of its wide area, stretching long, then divided into Tongtian Mountain, Cangyan Mountain, Jiulong Mountain, Big Mountain, Montenegro and other place names, in the first year of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor An of the Han Dynasty in order to prevent foreign enemies from invading Luoyang, had issued an edict in the south end of Taihang 36 places to rush to the troops.

It is a pity that with the changes of time, and the Son of Heaven who lived in the palace was mediocre, and was instigated by the eunuchs to give up 36 places to charge the troops, causing the local soldiers to become nameless bandits and thieves for no reason.

And now these thirty-six places to rush the troops have become the hiding place of Zhang Yan, the remnant of the Yellow Turban, who is hidden in the Taihang Mountains and waiting for the opportunity to make waves.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out in the first year of Zhongping, but it was quickly exterminated by officials from all over the country, but although the Yellow Turban thieves led by Zhang Jiao were silent, there were many newcomers who rose, and these people also carried the banner of the Yellow Turban Army, attacking the city and plundering the land, and seizing one side, such as the white wave thief who was handsome by Guo Da, although it eventually became Liu Wei's wedding dress, but it did play the banner of the Yellow Turban Army.

And Zhang Yan is also one of them, Zhang Yan's original name is Chu Yan Zhending people, he saw the chaos in the world, he gathered a group of teenagers to fish in troubled waters for robbers, and turned to attack in the mountains and rivers, and when he returned to Zhentime, the troops had reached more than 10,000 people, in the second year of Zhongping, when Zhang Niujiao, a Boling person, also gathered a group of people, claiming to be a general, and joined forces with him.

He then elected Zhang Niujiao as the leader, marched into the army to attack the gall Tao, Zhang Niujiao was shot by a stray arrow, seriously injured, and told his generals when he was dying: "Yan will be the commander!" ”。

After Zhang Niujiao's death, everyone respected Zhang Niujiao's order and supported him as the leader, so he changed his name to Zhang Yan in order to win the hearts of the army.

Zhang Yan this person because of the body as light as a swallow, and brave and good at fighting, so the army called him "Feiyan", and later Zhang Yan led the troops to continue to attack, and hiding in Changshan, Zhaojun, Zhongshan, Shangdang, Hanoi and other rebels in the Taihang Mountains to contact each other, so Huang Long, Yu Yigen, Liu Shi, Zuo Zhangba, Pinghan, Daji, Pengzai, Lei Gong, Fuyun, Baique, Yang Feng, Yu Poison, Wulu, Li Damu, Bai Huan, Ku Hao, Luo Shi and others have surrendered with their subordinates.

Zhang Yan's army once grew to nearly one million people, because of the place where its main force gathered in Montenegro, it was called the Montenegrin Army, and the counties and counties north of the Yellow River were invaded, but the imperial court was unable to send troops to encircle and suppress.

Later, Zhang Yan saw the fall of the Yellow Turban and was advised by Huanglong and Liu Shi, so he sent an envoy to the capital Luoyang, and wrote to the imperial court to request surrender, so Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty appointed Zhang Yan as the general of the middle of the peace, so that he managed the administrative and public security affairs in the mountainous areas north of the Yellow River, and could recommend filial piety to the imperial court every year, and sent officials to Luoyang to report.

At first, Zhang Yan was really honest for a while, but unfortunately with the death of Emperor Ling, the general He Jin was killed, and Dong Zhuo also controlled the government

When Zhang Yan heard that the army had returned from exploring horses, and Zhang Yang of Shangdang County sent Mu Shun to escort a batch of grain and grass to Huai County, he immediately decided to lead his troops to intercept it.

When Mu Shun escorted the grain and grass materials to arrive at the big mountain, he was meeting the Montenegrin army blocking the road, and the two sides fought in a moment, but unfortunately although the Hun soldiers and corpses that Mu Shun army could kill were all over the field, they were far from being the opponent of the Montenegrin army.

Seeing that it was invincible, Mu Shun and Xiuyi pointed to the retreat while fighting, but in the darkness they saw that there was a key village not far away, this must be the fortress built during the period of Emperor An, although it was in disrepair for a long time, only the broken walls were left in the blur, and the eyes were full of desolation, but it was also able to be used as a barrier to rely on, and it was to immediately order the army to withdraw into the village.

"Want to run?" A trace of coldness flashed in Zhang Yan's eyes, but the cold smile on the corner of his mouth became even thicker, and he said disdainfully: "A group of local chickens and dogs, can you run in front of my Black Mountain Army?" ”

Zhang Yan turned around on his horse, only to see the Black Mountain sergeant behind him standing like a forest, the cold killing machine almost froze the heaven and earth, Huanyu These people are real fierce soldiers, who have followed Zhang Yan from birth to death for many years, and there is no one who can survive.

"Choking~"

The steel spear in Zhang Yan's hand pointed directly at the void, and thousands of pairs of cold and cold eyes behind him were focused on him at the same time, and the cold wind blew the banner hunting.

"Brothers, the grain and grass plundered are heavy, and this king has a heavy reward!" Zhang Yan turned around, the steel spear in his hand fell into the void, and the blood-boiling voice resounded in the sky, "Kill!" ”

????“ Kill! ”

The soldiers of the Montenegrin Army responded and fought bravely to be the first, launching an overwhelming pursuit against Mu Shun's army, which had become a mess.

On the left wing of the Black Mountain Army, the left bearded Zhangba was dressed in a black leather armor, his body was like an ink cloud, and a Danfeng long knife in his hand weighed thirty-two, waving like a brilliant silver flower, straight into the formation of Mu Shun's army, and everyone was clothed!

On the right wing of the Montenegrin Army, Huang Long held a steel spear, and the fire of strong desire burned completely in his chest, and he waved the steel spear in his hand forward, and shouted fiercely: "Brothers, the day of sharing food and women is coming, kill with me!" ”

"Kill~"

In the roar of the mountains and the sea, thousands of Montenegrin troops rushed forward, like a surging torrent that broke the embankment swept towards the retreating Mu Shun army, and the cold steel knife reflected the cold barren wilderness.

。。。。。。

The night is like ink, the dark clouds cover the cold moon, the wind of the call sign covers all the subtle sounds, the wilderness is full of slaughter, and the five fingers are not visible, in the endless darkness, a cavalry is like a ghost pawn from the Nine Hells, is advancing rapidly on the wilderness, and the iron hooves are dusty everywhere~

In the surging cavalry formation, Xu Huang's majestic body rose and fell with the footsteps of the war horse, and the flickering tiger eyes stared straight at the faint light ahead, which was the place where the Black Mountain Army ambushed Mu Shun.

Since Liu Wei got Zhang Qu's information, he immediately convened the generals to discuss countermeasures, and the team escorting Mu Shun's baggage must be rescued quickly, Liu Wei clearly understood that this batch of grain and grass baggage was by no means a good intention, and the prestige of the imperial court was not enough to order Zhang Yang, a prince who was half an official and half a thief.

The only possibility is that the eldest princess of Yang'an must have made a promise, and it was Zhang Yangcai who did not hesitate to send the grain and grass baggage, and it was because she had to rescue this batch of baggage, which was a piece of the imperial aunt's heart.

However, the Baibo Legion has just been put into training, and it is definitely not enough to fight against thieves like the Black Mountain Army, and Liu Wei had no choice but to ask Wang Kuang for help, so the team led by Xu Huang included forty elite Xiliang cavalry, three hundred elite archers, and two thousand county soldiers, a total of more than 2,340 people, which was already the largest number of soldiers that Liu Wei could attack!
