Chapter 159: The End of the Black Mountain Army.
"Scorched Hair is dead, Scorched Hair is also dead......"
Zhang Yan seemed to be muttering to himself, and seemed to be confiding in someone, at this time he looked like a lonely and helpless old man, not the leader of the Montenegrin army.
His family knows his own affairs, although Zhang Yan does not regard Jiao Fei as a confidant, but he also understands that Jiao Fei is himself except for Zhang Bai and the two of them.
The only Qu Shuai who can be trusted, now that even he is dead, with his remaining tens of thousands of defeated soldiers, how can he still sit in a stable position?
"Tao Sheng"
"In!"
"Mingjin retreats."
"Collect troops?"
Tao Sheng jumped up directly, and said righteously: "Big brother, we haven't lost yet!" Why do I want to return? Could it be that you have been scared by Yuan Shao'er? ”
"It's too late to wait for defeat."
"Big brother, I'm not you, that cavalry has been dragged by us, and now they have lost the advantage of speed, it's useless, and now I and Yang Feng have a combined army of nearly 350,000, why do you want to retreat!"
Tao Sheng shouted, not leaving a trace of affection for Zhang Yan at all, ignoring the fact that the scribe behind him kept giving him a look.
"yes, big brother, wait a little longer."
Yang Feng also echoed, who doesn't want to get ahead? Who wants to be a thief for the rest of their lives? It's better to seize the land of the two counties, and finally see the hope of occupying the land and becoming the king, how can Zhang Yan, the leader who has lost his ability, be qualified to let them give up the glory and wealth that are within reach?
Zhang Yan sighed secretly in his heart, although his situation seemed to be very good, but his intuition told him that the soldiers of the Yizhou Army would never be trapped by his own Black Mountain Army soldiers.
Originally, according to his idea, he was to defend the city, so that the army of nearly 400,000 could not be attacked by Yan Liang no matter what, but he had lost his prestige, how could he let Tao Sheng and the others obey his orders?
In this era when strength is king, how can people surrender without strength?
Lu Xiang and Lu Kuang had already fallen into a bitter battle, and the hundreds of armor soldiers just now had already been killed and scattered by them, but there were several times as many enemies around them, and they wanted to rely on the sea of people to consume them here.
Gao Lan and Yan Liang also discovered the predicament at this time in the back, and Lu Xiang and Lu Kuang in front were surrounded and stagnant.
As a result, it is difficult for the cavalry behind to speed up and give full play to their advantages, and more and more Montenegrin soldiers are surrounding from all directions, and if they continue like this, I am afraid that they will really be trapped to death.
There's no way, we can't go on like this.
"High View"
Yan Lianggao shouted, now that Yan Liang is here, the army is naturally commanded by Yan Liang.
"In!"
"You can't rush forward any further, take a detour from the side, Zhang He opened the way!"
"No." Gao Ran and Zhang He, who was following Yan Liang, both responded loudly.
Originally, Gao Ran had plunged in from the left flank, like a sharp knife stabbing in, but now the sharp knife had encountered an obstacle and could not be stabbed.
So Yan Liang prepared to change direction, and let Gao Ran circle a half-arc from the right side, from a horizontal attack to a longitudinal frontal attack.
Gao Ran Zhang He took the lead, and the Yizhou cavalry behind him was naturally like a bamboo.
The bravery of Gao Ran and Zhang He is naturally not comparable to Lu Xiang and Lu Kuang, and when most of the attention is attracted by Lu Xiang and Lu Kuang, these two are still invincible.
With the two of them opening the way, the speed of this cavalry gradually increased, and it once again turned into a terrifying killing weapon.
Wherever they passed, all they left was corpses and bloodstains on the ground.
Soon they fought a way, made a detour from the side, killed the Black Mountain soldiers who were besieging Lu Xiang and Lu Kuang, and rescued them.
As soon as Lu Xiang and Lu Kuang got out of trouble, they immediately found a horse, and without waiting for Yan Liang's orders, they rushed forward with a big sword, and Gao Gan also followed, with their rejoining, this cavalry became even more unstoppable.
The Montenegrin army is defeated!
When Gao Ran appeared with more than 5,000 cavalry, when Jiao Fei failed to stop Gao Lan's advance, the Montenegrin army was already doomed.
Tao Sheng and Yang Feng originally had a trace of unrealistic luck, and this luck was trampled and shattered with the hooves of thousands of war horses.
Zhang Yan endured the pain and gave the order of Mingjin to withdraw his troops, and the left wing of the Chinese army could still be withdrawn intact, as for the right wing and the Chinese army, under the iron cavalry led by Yan Liang and the Yizhou infantry led by Chun Yuqiong, they had already fallen into a great rout under the pursuit.
The mountains were full of defeated Montenegrin soldiers, who threw away their weapons, dropped their flags, and ran forward without stopping.
As for how far and where to run, they didn't have time to think, as if as soon as they stopped, a spear would appear behind them and take their lives.
Yan Liang led the cavalry to chase twenty miles away, and in the end, because the Han army really had no power to pursue, he was also worried that the lone army would go deeper, and if he was ambushed again, there would be no reinforcements, so he had to withdraw helplessly.
When he returned to the camp of the Han army, Yan Liang saw a group of people standing outside the gate from a distance, and the first person was not Chun Yuqiong.
It can only be said that although Chun Yuqiong's strength is not good, he is also a veteran soldier, and in the battle just now, even Yan Liang was killed and separated from the troops.
But Chun Yuqiong still had no less than 3,000 troops by his side in the end, just because he was always among the soldiers and didn't go out to kill the enemy at all.
As soon as Chun Yuqiong saw Yan Liang, he immediately rolled the saddle and dismounted, and said, "The last general is seeing the boss, the thief was too big just now, and the last general was really helpless and couldn't help the boss, which frightened the boss." ”
During the melee, Yan Liang was killed because he was too fierce, and there were only a hundred people around him, but he was surrounded by soldiers of the Montenegrin Army, while Chun Yuqiong had more than 1,000 people around him, and the distance was less than 100 meters, but he led people to kill in another direction.
If Zhang He hadn't arrived in time, Yan Liang might have been beaten to death by the group, and when Zhang He arrived, there were less than twenty people left around Yan Liang.
"Get out! If it weren't for the sake of the lord, a certain family would have killed you today! ”
Yan Liang pressed the handle of the knife in his hand, and the muscles burst out with too much force, if Chun Yuqiong was not his own person, if Chun Yuqiong was not Yuan Shao's friend, Yan Liang would definitely cut him with a knife at this moment!
The more than 100 people who followed him were all Yan Liang's personal guards, and they were all members of the Yan family, that is to say, they were all Yan Liang's relatives, although most of them were not very close, but they were all members of the same family.
Now there are only more than 20 people left, and these more than 20 people, I am afraid that there are less than five people who can go to battle and kill the enemy in the future.
"The last will be retired."
Chun Yuqiong naturally didn't want Yan Liang to forgive him, all he wanted was to let Yan Liang not be able to use this matter in front of Yuan Shao in the future.
The Yizhou soldiers led by Yan Liang and the state guards, as well as the soldiers led by Chun Yuqiong Gaoran, totaled more than 60,000 people, and in this battle, as many as 10,000 people were killed and more than 20,000 were wounded, which can be described as a heavy loss.
Although the situation of the Montenegrin army is unknown, the casualties must have been more tragic, and the entire right wing and the Chinese army were defeated by Yan Liang, and the estimated casualties were estimated to reach more than 200,000.
