"Old Yan, is the Montenegrin Army finally going to war?"

Gao Lan asked excitedly after going up to the corner tower.

"See for yourself."

Gao Lan looked into the distance, the situation inside the city was not known, the camp outside the city was already half empty, and people were still gathering towards the north gate, and looking at their messy appearance, it didn't feel like it was organized.

"What are the Montenegrin Army doing here?"

Gao Ran asked everyone's doubts, but none of the people present could answer.

"I guess it's going to run."

The obese Chun Yuqiong said the guess in his heart, and everyone's eyes lit up, there was such a possibility.

"But there are still many Montenegrin soldiers in the city and in the camp."

Some lieutenants questioned it.

"Maybe it's a division of troops."

Frustrated said, looking at the posture, it seems to be true.

"Bring me the map."

Yan Liang shouted.

A moment later, a rudimentary and detailed map appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and everyone's eyes followed Dingxiang to the north, trying to find out where the Black Mountain Army was going to divide its troops.

When Yan Liang's gaze swept over a place name, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, "Here, the Black Mountain Army is going here." ”

Everyone looked at it, and it was Xia Xin County.

Xin County is in the northwest of Dingxiang. From Dingxiang, it takes about 300 miles.

Xin County is a key county in Dingxiang, and is the closest to Taihang Mountain, this city is just in a river bend, both sides are near the water, only the south and north are plains, it is indeed an easy to defend and difficult to attack place, and can not hold, just can be withdrawn from the south to Taihang Mountain.

This position is definitely the first choice for the Montenegrin Army if it wants to divide the troops!

Everyone thought about it and felt that if they really wanted to divide the troops, Xin County was very likely. Unlike everyone who just guessed, Yan Liang was very sure.

Because the rest of the places in Yan Liang's view, there is no point in dividing troops to defend at all, and the state is already poor, except for Dingxiang City and Xin County, the rest of the cities are no more than eight meters high, and the size is even inferior to the Wubao of some families in the Central Plains.

Yan Liang really couldn't figure out why the Montenegrin Army made such a move at this time. Originally, it was to occupy the advantage in numbers, and he and others did not dare to attack the city easily, but now there is a division of troops, although there is still a numerical advantage, but this is obviously a matter of cutting off his own arm, why did the Montenegrin army do this?

Aren't they afraid of being broken by each one?

…………

Outside the north gate of Dingxiang City, Tao Sheng stood on a high slope, looking at the mighty team above and below, his heart was surging, is this the feeling of power?

It's wonderful! I don't have to be restrained by Zhang Yan anymore, I should be the leader of the Montenegrin Army! I can do whatever I want from now on.

Not far away, Jia Zhen galloped on horseback, and when he was about to approach Tao Sheng, he was stopped by a guard who was dozens of paces.

"Let him come."

Tao Sheng said lightly.

Jia Xu flicked his sleeves and walked over angrily and scolded: "General, why didn't you tell me about the division of troops." ”

"Do I need to ask you for advice?"

Jia Zhen, who was choked on a word, had nothing to say, he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and persuaded: "General, now our enemy is Yuan Shao, who is sitting in the land of Erzhou, and we must not act willfully?" ”

"Willful? Am I willful? ”

Tao Sheng said angrily: "Why? Since joining the Montenegrin Army, I have worked diligently and conscientiously for the development of the Montenegrin Army, and have made great contributions. ”

Why, it's not because of your straw bale? Of course, Jia Zhen, who is accustomed to protecting himself wisely, can only say it in his heart even if he is angry, and he will continue to persuade this general who does not know soldiers.

Although he didn't want to recognize him as the master, Jia Zhen wanted to compare with Li Ru through Tao Sheng, although the two were also teachers and friends, but Wu Wu was the first, Wen was not the second, and Jia Zhen also wanted to prove that he was stronger than Li Ru.

"General, don't fight for will. Now Yuan Shao's powerful soldiers are strong and strong, if you want to take the state, you can't divide the troops! If you divide it, you will lose it, and if you join it, you will benefit both! ”

"Leigh? Can't shrink back like him? ”

"This is Yang Fengqushuai's tired enemy......"

"You don't have to say much."

Tao Sheng interrupted him rudely: "If you don't want to leave, just stay, I won't obey his orders anyway." ”

Jia Zhen sighed, Tao Sheng is a shallow talent, but he is self-righteous, self-serving, greedy for money and profit, and does not listen to people's persuasion, no matter how others persuade him, the things he decides will not change no matter how others persuade him.

If it weren't for the fact that he was currently the most potential person in the Montenegrin Army, Jia Zhen would have abandoned him a long time ago, how could he tolerate it today, after all, although Tao Sheng was bad, he couldn't help it, and the rest of the Montenegrin Army was even worse!

Forget it, the big deal is to go to Qingzhou as soon as you leave, isn't it already prepared. It's just unwilling! I'm really unwilling!

What a pity! When Tao Sheng made the decision to divide his troops and leave, the plan of the Montenegrin army to attack and merge the state was already coming to an end, and the rest was only a matter of time.

…………

The generals of the Yizhou Army on the corner tower have already determined that the Black Mountain Army is dividing their troops, although they don't know why they suddenly divided their troops.

The location of the division of troops is also basically determined, and if nothing else, it will be Xin County.

Now what we want to discuss is whether to send troops to pursue, and most people are not in favor of pursuit, after all, there are still more than 200,000 to 300,000 Montenegrin troops in Dingxiang.

As long as Yan Liang pulls out the camp and pursues, I am afraid that he will immediately fall into the danger of being caught between the front and back.

Since this is the case, it is better to let him go, first attack Dingxiang with all his strength, and after conquering Dingxiang, it will be easy to deal with them.

Just when this opinion was to be adopted unanimously, Zhang He raised objections.

"General, let me go. The infantry stayed behind to besiege Dingxiang, and I led the cavalry in pursuit, acting at the opportune opportunity. ”

"The number of cavalry is too small, so it's too risky."

Yan Liang hesitated.

"The cavalry of our army is 7,500 cavalry, and the cavalry of the Black Mountain Army is only more than 2,000 cavalry, I look at the division of troops, the cavalry is only more than 1,000, only one-seventh of our army, although the rest of the foot soldiers are numerous, and can help my cavalry, the subordinates are willing to set up a military order, and they will take Tao Sheng's head, if not, they are willing to sacrifice their heads!"

Zhang He said confidently.

The Montenegrin army seems to be numerous, but slow speed is his Achilles' heel, like a slow-moving giant, no matter how strong he is, it won't help if he can't hit people.

"In that case, go and be cautious."

Yan Liang saw that Zhang He was so sure, and after thinking about it, he agreed, Yan Liang felt good about getting along with Zhang He recently, and it was Zhang He who saved his life last time.

And Yan Liang is also unwilling to let go of the Montenegrin Army so easily, and now that Zhang He is willing to make a military order, Yan Liang is naturally pushing the boat.

Zhang He was overjoyed, and immediately went down the corner tower and returned to the camp. Because he thought that the Montenegrin army was going to fight, the camp had already made preparations, and after Zhang He came back, he didn't talk nonsense, and directly asked the soldiers to bring three days' dry food, and quickly sent troops to pursue.

In order to cooperate with Zhang He, Yan Liang also let the army out of the camp and lined up outside Dingxiang City to put pressure on the Montenegrin army in the city. Yang Feng saw that it was only a small number of cavalry that was being pursued, so he didn't pay attention to it.

After all, Tao Sheng has nearly 200,000 people under his command, even if he stands still, the more than 7,000 cavalry will have to cut down for a day or two.

In Yang Feng's opinion, plus the person being pursued is Tao Sheng, even if Tao Sheng is defeated, it will not matter much to him.

"General, there is a Han army chasing behind."

After walking less than twenty miles, the scout reported bad news.

"How many?"

Tao Sheng exclaimed.

"About eight thousand, all cavalry."

Eight thousand people, Tao Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, he smiled contemptuously, he has nearly 200,000 people, what is the use of eight thousand people.

Soon Zhang He used facts to tell him what was the use of more than 7,000 people.

Near noon, when the Montenegrin army was about to bury the pot for cooking, Zhang He, who had been following for a long time, finally appeared with the cavalry.

Tao Sheng also sent dozens of scouts to listen to the news, and there were thousands of soldiers on guard, but those scattered scouts were at the moment they saw the Han army.

It had already been killed by the arrows of the good archers in Zhang He and the Yizhou cavalry, and there was no time to send back the news, so when Zhang He led the cavalry to appear, the entire Montenegrin army was unexpectedly ignorant.

It wasn't until they approached Sanlidi that the Montenegrin Army finally found out, and the Montenegrin Army who were in a hurry at the moment hadn't reacted at all.

Zhang He bypassed the thousands of soldiers on the alert, and inserted it fiercely from the left flank, Zhang He took the lead, and the rest of the generals saw that it was not easy, and of course they would not miss the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and they took the lead bravely and fought with all their might.

A small number of soldiers who buried the pot and cooked hurriedly picked up the weapons around them to resist and stop the Sensen Iron Horseman. However, most of the soldiers of the Montenegrin Army were in a hurry and could not find weapons.

The leader didn't know where, and he ran everywhere, as if he would die if he didn't run, facing the disorganized and unformed Black Mountain soldiers.

The Yizhou cavalry rushed directly like a flood, and the sporadic resistance was directly annihilated without even a single wave.

Soon the Black Mountain sergeant recognized the gap between him and the Han army's iron cavalry, shouted, and began to flee in all directions.

But how could a two-legged one outrun a four-legged one, Zhang He and the cavalry chased after him and slaughtered on a large scale.

Tao Sheng of the Chinese army soon knew the news of the Han cavalry raid, and saw that the soldiers on his flank were powerless in front of the Han army, which was very small, so he stomped his feet angrily, and hurriedly reinforced the more than 1,000 armor soldiers who had just been assembled, and let the cavalry dispatch.

Zhang He led his troops to chase and kill for a while, and when he saw that the time was almost up, he gave the order to retreat. The cavalry who were still chasing after him just now turned their horses' heads one after another under Zhang He's order, and without hesitation, they drove away.

When the reinforcements sent by Tao Sheng arrived, all they saw were corpses and a messy camp.

"Give me chase!"

Tao Sheng, who was carried away by anger, actually gave the order to pursue, and the more than 1,000 horsemen actually chased after the Han army with more than 7,000 horsemen.
