A few days later, Zhang Yan led his soldiers to Fanyang first. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Pass my order, hurry up with me, and strive to reach the city of Fanyang before it gets dark tomorrow." Zhang Yan was full of fighting spirit and said to the heralds under his command.

At this time, he saw Zhang Fan, the general of his own army, open his mouth and said: "General, the lord once instructed that after we arrive in Fanyang, we must advance carefully to prevent the ambush of thieves. ”

Zhang Yan waved his hand and said, "Of course you have to listen to the words of the lord, but don't you know what kind of situation Gongsun Chan is in now?" He only has more than 30,000 people in total, even if he leads the army to Fanyang, there are only 20,000 people at most, but only our Montenegrin army has more than 30,000 people, plus the 20,000 people of the lord, we have a total of 50,000 people, did Gongsun Chan eat the bear's heart and leopard gall? Dare to ambush us? Hehe, I was still expecting him to ambush me, and when the time came, I happened to break his army and capture Gongsun Chan alive. ”

"What the general said is also, with such a strong force as ours, what is Gongsun Chan? When the time comes, the custody will make him come and go. After hearing Zhang Yan say this, Zhang Fan felt very reasonable, and his heart was full of pride, and he no longer had the previous worries.

Then the herald issued Zhang Yan's order, and the officers and men of the whole army rushed forward, and they must rush to the city of Fanyang before sunset the next day. So the army picked up speed again and advanced with all its might.

After the Black Mountain army advanced for half a day, they came to a dense forest, and at this time it was already dusk, and there was silence in the dense forest, which looked a little gloomy.

"After passing through this dense forest, we will set up camp and rest for the night, soldiers, don't worry, just go forward boldly." Zhang Yan saw that the soldiers were all tired, but he still decided to walk through this dense forest first and then stop to rest.

Those Black Mountain soldiers are indeed tired, but since the main general has spoken, they can only continue to walk, fortunately, this dense forest does not look very vast, and they can get out in half an hour at most.

However, unexpectedly, at this moment, I only heard a sharp sound of breaking the sky in the dense forest, and everyone's faces changed, and they shouted loudly: "Enemy attack, enemy attack!" ”

Zhang Yan, who was the first to walk in the front, changed his complexion, jumped and floated onto a nearby tree, but the horse was shot into a hedgehog when he sat down, screamed sadly, and fell to the ground.

Zhang Yan clearly saw from the tree that the soldiers under his command screamed again and again, and it was estimated that hundreds of people were killed on the spot, and countless others were injured, and even his most trusted general, Zhang Fan, died under the indiscriminate arrows.

"Hateful! I really didn't expect that I really encountered an ambush, alas, Zhang Fan reminded me at the beginning, but I didn't listen, and as a result, Zhang Fan died, which is all my fault. But this is also fortunate that I have been canonized by the Lord, and my light skills have made great progress compared to before, otherwise, I would have been one of these soldiers who died today. ”

Zhang Yan waited quietly on the tree until this round of arrow rain was over, then returned to the army again, rode an ownerless war horse, and then shouted loudly: "Soldiers, don't panic, the thief army doesn't have much combat power, as long as we calm down and fight calmly, we will definitely be able to turn defeat into victory." ”

However, the Montenegrin Army itself does not have too strong discipline, although after so many days of rectification, there has been a little bit of progress in abiding by military discipline, but it is only limited to peacetime, and now at the moment of life and death, nothing can be cared about, and they have scattered and fled for their lives, Zhang Yan's Feiyan skills did not play a positive role, but made the Montenegrin Army run faster, every time he thought of this, he couldn't cry or laugh.

"Alas, these wastes, at the critical moment, they all ran for their lives regardless of military discipline."

Zhang Yan lamented in his heart, but there was no way to stop this chaos, but fortunately, he also took the opportunity to collect the defeated army of more than 1,000 people, and took these people to retreat while continuing to collect the soldiers.

However, at this moment, I only heard the sound of shouting and killing not far from the rear, and it turned out that the ambush soldiers appeared and launched a pursuit of the chaotic Montenegrin army.

"Let's go!" Although he was very unwilling, Zhang Yan knew that he was not able to fight with the other party at this time. had no choice but to grit his teeth and lead the soldiers under his command to retreat back and forth.

Zhang Yan retreated for nearly 20 miles, and the enemy army gradually retreated, at this time Zhang Yan gathered the remnants of the army and found that the army of more than 30,000 people was now less than 20,000 people, except for less than 1,000 people who were shot or killed by the enemy, and the rest either fled or chose to surrender.

"Alas, it's really hateful, if you accidentally fall into the evil role of a thief, not only did you not make meritorious service, but you will regret not listening to the words of the lord." Zhang Yan secretly regretted it, ordered the soldiers to build a camp to defend themselves, and then waited for the arrival of Liu He's army.

However, at night, the enemy army actually killed again, and it was also thanks to Zhang Yan who led his own soldiers to fight to the death under the danger, and finally repelled the enemy's attack, but even so, Zhang Yan still lost two or three thousand people.

Due to the continuous defeat, the morale of the army dropped very much, but fortunately, Zhang Yan had a prestige in the army, and strictly ordered the soldiers to be divided into two groups, one group regardless of fatigue, formed a formation to defend to the death, and the other group built a defense overnight, and after a night of hard work, the camp was finally established before dawn.

Zhang Yan regardless of fatigue, ordered the soldiers who built the camp to rest, and led the people to defend for half a day, and then ordered the group of soldiers who had rested to defend, and then ordered the soldiers who had been resting to defend, and then ordered the soldiers who had held on all night and most of the day to rest, but he himself did not dare to have the slightest carelessness, and still insisted on guarding, until Liu He led the main army to arrive, and during this period, the enemy army attacked with several words, and Zhang Yan's soldiers lost more than 2,000 people......

"My lord, the last general did not obey the order, and as a result, he was ambushed, which led to the loss of troops and the loss of our army's morale, and asked the lord to surrender!"

As soon as Liu He's army arrived, Zhang Yan hurriedly came to Liu He's horse, bitterly confessed his sins, and asked Liu He to deal with it.

Liu He's face sank, and he said loudly: "Zhang Yan, you didn't obey my orders, rashly advanced, and as a result, you were ambushed by the enemy, resulting in this defeat, if you should be killed according to the law, but now when you use people, plus you later handled it properly, you worked hard for several days without sleep, and finally held the camp, so you are exempted from death, reduced to Xingyi Zhonglang General, still commanding the old department, and allowing you to wear the crime and make meritorious service. ”

"No, the last general thanks the lord for not killing, please rest assured, the last general will swear to serve the lord in the future, and never dare to slack off again!" Zhang Yan wiped the cold sweat on her forehead, thanked Liu He, and then hurriedly walked down.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that Zhang Yan has been defeated, our army's forward has been frustrated, and the morale of the enemy has risen sharply, it is not easy to break through Fan Yang, in this case, we must fight a tough battle and forcibly break through Fan Yang, so as to boost morale and take measures against the enemy's spirit, please don't slack off and deal with it with all your might!"

After Zhang Yan left, a trace of solemnity flashed in Liu He's eyes, and he said to his subordinates Gan Ning, Chen Dao, Hao Zhao, Zhao Yun, Pan Feng, Pei Yuanshao, Deng Zhan, and Lu Yi.
