Chapter 151: Zhang Yan withdraws his troops!
"Damn Lu Bu! There's only one day I'm going to crush you! ”
Zhang Yan looked at the two corpses in front of her, and couldn't help but burst into tears, two of the three henchmen she trusted died, and only Yang Feng, who had not yet arrived, escaped with his life, so how could he not hate Lu Bu?
"Pass the order, the whole army retreats!"
Zhang Yan looked at the rear army camp that was already like a ruin, and gritted his teeth and said, if it wasn't for the last resort, Zhang Yan didn't want to withdraw the army, but if he continued to attack Taiyuan County at this moment, he would be killing himself.
More than 50,000 people were killed by Lu Bu in one night, plus more than 8,000 people died during the siege, the casualties were more than 60,000, and the more than 400,000 Montenegrin troops were left with more than 300,000 yuan, and about 10,000 stone of food was left, which was only enough for about ten days.
But the most important thing is that Zhang Baiqi and Yu Poison are dead, and there is only one of the three Qu Shuai left, and there are many casualties among the big and small leaders.
Even if Zhang Yan is the leader on the surface, it does not mean that the other people in the Black Mountain Army can completely obey his orders.
In this way, if Zhang Yan doesn't retreat, then he really can't think about it, even if he wants to take revenge, then he will have to wait until after the soldiers and horses are rectified.
Before you know it, the Montenegrin army has withdrawn overnight, leaving some tattered tents that have not had time to take away, such as rotten tents with several holes.
Early the next morning, Lu Bu had just gotten up when Hao Meng hurried over.
"Lord, there is something wrong with the Black Mountain Army outside the city."
Something was wrong, Lu Bu was suddenly startled, he thought that the Black Mountain Army was going to attack, so he suddenly fell asleep and followed Hao Meng straight to the city.
Lu Bu looked at it carefully for a while, the tent was set up in a mess, the trench was still so shallow, and there were still no antlers and thistles, which was not much different from last night.
"It's no different."
Lu Bu turned his head and said, it's really embarrassing for Lu Bu, let him observe these, let Lu Bu charge into battle, Lu Bu can easily complete it, but let him observe the enemy camp, what is the change?
"Don't you think it's too quiet, lord?"
Quiet, Lu Bu suddenly realized that there was not the slightest sound coming from the entire Black Mountain Army camp, this is a very abnormal thing, could it be that they are all hiding in the camp and pondering some conspiracy?
"It's very abnormal."
Lu Bu nodded with a heavy face.
At this time, Chen Gong, who heard the news, also came over, glanced outside the city, pulled over a soldier and asked, "Did the Montenegrin Army make a fire to cook this morning?" ”
The soldier shook his head, wondering if they had a fire to cook or not.
"Did you see any smoke in the morning?"
"I don't think so."
Chen Gong turned his head to look at Lu Bu, even if he didn't need to say it, Lu Bu had already understood that the Black Mountain Army had run away and fled overnight.
"Cheng Lian, quickly send a scout to take a look outside the city."
Lu Bu squinted his eyes and ordered.
"No."
Cheng Lian stretched out his hand and beckoned a knight and whispered a few words in his ear.
Dozens of cavalrymen immediately rode out of the city, and soon the people returned, their faces showed excitement and joy, and from a long distance, they shouted loudly: "There is no one, there is no one in the camp of the Montenegrin army, they have all run away!" ”
When the voice came out, the soldiers at the head of the city threw down their weapons one after another, cheered and cheered, high-fived and hugged each other, glad that the Montenegrin army had retreated and they were still alive.
In the midst of the joy, there was a low cry in the corner, perhaps infected by this cry, and the soldier remembered the tragic death of his comrades who got along with him day and night, and he couldn't help but cry with his head in his arms, and the city was filled with a sad atmosphere.
Lu Bu and the others still remained calm and sober, and Lu Bu, who had been deep in the battlefield, naturally understood that he could not relax at this moment, he was afraid that this was a ploy of the Black Mountain Army, and he would take advantage of the city to relax his vigilance and kill again.
He asked Xu Yu to send hundreds of scouts to explore the surroundings, and finally confirmed that there was no more Black Mountain Army soldier within a radius of thirty miles, and after confirming the news.
Lu Bu's first reaction was not to be happy, but to have a trace of regret, he originally wanted to persuade Xu Yu to let him command the soldiers and go out of the city to fight with the Black Mountain Army in the field.
After Yan Liang arrived, there were nearly 120,000 soldiers in the city, and the Montenegrin army only had more than 300,000 people.
If the Montenegrin army dared to continue to attack the city, Lu Bu was confident that he could keep most of them under the city.
But I didn't expect that Zhang Yan to be so decisive and decisive, and withdrew his troops overnight, and now I am afraid that he is already dozens of miles away, and he can't catch up.
The ordinary soldiers and the people of Taiyuan didn't know about Lu Bu's plans, they only knew that the Black Mountain Army had been beaten back and they were safe.
The aftermath of the war is also very heavy and complicated, but these are Yuan Shao's affairs, and they have nothing to do with a guest army like Lu Bu, what Lu Bu needs to do is to cooperate with Yan Liang to lead troops to increase the remaining Montenegrin army.
Repairing the city wall, treating the wounded, and pacifying the people, Xu You is not very bold, and although he is greedy for money, he is indeed a good hand at handling government affairs, and the heavy work is handled in an orderly manner, without the slightest panic.
Just after noon on the second day, Yan Liang also led the soldiers to arrive, but it was useless, and he learned that Lu Bu had a fierce battle with the Montenegrin army last night, and after defeating Zhang Yan, he felt a little unhappy.
"How far is the camp of the Black Mountain Army from here now?"
After Yan Liang came, Yan Liang asked Xu You.
"Less than a hundred miles."
Yan Liang frowned, the cavalry of a hundred miles is coming, and the infantry is only two days, which is too close.
"General Lu, dare to go with me to visit the Black Mountain military camp."
Xu You was frightened and exclaimed by Yan Liang's words, and he couldn't even say anything.
Yan Liang explained: "Zhang Yan is too powerful, there are more than 300,000 soldiers under his command, Zhang Yan is quite resourceful, it is really a problem for his henchmen, if I don't get rid of it, I am uneasy, if Zhang Yan is relieved, then he will definitely cause greater casualties to me and the state."
"But ......"
Xu You wanted to persuade again, but Yan Liang stretched out his hand to stop him, after all, Yuan Shao's order was that Yan Liang led the soldiers of the state and was responsible for the battle with Zhang Yan this time, just to ask you for advice, not to ask you for instructions.
"You just have to find someone who knows the path to lead the way."
Yan Liang said to Xu You with a dark face, he didn't have a good impression of Xu You at all, and Xu You was just a flatterer in his opinion.
It was completely by relying on flattery that he got to the top of the state, and after Yuan Shao left, he managed the affairs of the state, but he didn't expect Xu You to be so incompetent that the Montenegrin army captured the two counties.
If it weren't for the fact that Lu Bu happened to take refuge in the lord, after the unification of the lord, Lu Bu defeated Zhang Yan as a guest army, maybe Taiyuan County might have been taken down by Zhang Yan in one fell swoop.
"General Zhang, just because you are responsible for leading the first army to lead the way for General Yan Liang!"
Although Xu You was very dissatisfied with Yan Liang's attitude, he had nothing to say, after all, he understood that his status in Yuan Shao's heart could not be compared with Yan Liang, not to mention that Yan Liang's junior brother Wen Chou's status in the army was only a little worse than Yan Liang.
As long as Xu You didn't draw his brain, he wouldn't dare to offend Yan Liang, so for what Yan Liang wanted to do, he still sent the most reliable general in the Bingzhou army, Zhang He.
"It's kind of decent, the kid doesn't want to be a silver gun wax head!"
Yan Liang naturally understood that the generals of the Bingzhou Army had a few catties and a few taels, and those who were really capable followed Yuan Shao to fight Gongsun Zhan, otherwise they would not have been beaten by Zhang Yan and lost the two counties.
Zhang He, a partial general, is still the first time he has seen him, but he has the strength of the innate peak, which still surprises Yan Liang.
