The big leader of the bandits did it directly, but it is not known who the big fat sheep is.

Just as they shouted and suddenly drew their weapons and pounced, what made them strange was that these so-called merchants did not seem to be as flustered as the merchants they usually robbed, but on the contrary, they were calm and made people feel flustered, and they could even see a hint of mockery in the eyes of these people.

"Do it!" Meng Hao suddenly roared when the bandit soldiers were in front of him.

"Kill!"

Jiao Touch and Han Meng also drew their swords at the same time and directly faced the bandit soldiers.

Thirty or so elite sergeants were selected from among the four thousand sergeants, and each of them was one against ten. In this Longkouling Pass, although there are more than 300 thieves, at this time, not all of them are here, they have dozens of thieves on the wall, and many of them are sleeping in thatched houses. In fact, there were only 100 people who came with the big boss, and the dozen or so thieves who came back from the horse monkey were only about 100 people.

However, Ma Monkey and other dozen people, they were still mixed with Meng Hao and others, and planned to take advantage of Meng Hao and the others' permission to restrain Meng Hao's people from the side. But who knows, they are the ones who die first.

As soon as Meng Hao, Jiao Touch, and Han Meng made a move, thirty elite sergeants moved at the same time, and the dozen or so bandit soldiers of the horse monkey had already been in a different place before they could react.

Seeing this, the horse monkey wanted to quickly break away from Meng Hao and the others, and run to his own people to avoid the culling of Meng Hao and others, but he only moved, Meng Hao's movements were much faster than him, and he rushed directly past him, only to see a flash of cold light, the horse monkey held his throat in disbelief, and fell to the ground with wide eyes.

Meng Hao's movements, even Jiao Touch and Han Meng didn't see it clearly, and he didn't know how Meng Hao killed the horse monkey.

I saw Meng Hao flexibly walking among the thieves who came up, and everywhere he passed, there would be thieves who fell to the ground, and he killed four or five people in a row.

Jiao Touch and Han Meng were dumbfounded. At this moment, he didn't believe that Meng Hao was just a small chief. What is the chief, can actually kill so many fierce bandit soldiers in a single hit? Even if it is them, they have to slash and kill with a sword. It will never be as easy as Meng Hao, just passing by, you can kill the enemy.

"Ahhh......h

In the Longkou Ridge Pass, a terrible scream sounded, alarming the bandit soldiers in the entire Longkou Ridge.

"Damn! The idea is a bit of a stick! Brothers, come on! Kill these fat sheep and divide the money. When the big leader saw that the horse monkey had been killed, he hurriedly called out to the bandit soldiers who had been attracted by the scream.

At this time. This big boss has not yet realized the severity of the matter, and he has not yet thought that these so-called businessmen in front of him are officers and soldiers.

When he saw the horse monkey being killed, he thought that the horse monkey was accidentally killed by himself, and he didn't think too much.

With this shout, more bandit soldiers surrounded and killed.

Suddenly, there was a scuffle, swords and swords,

"Brother Jiao. Go and guard the door, don't let them close. Meng Hao reminded Jiao Touch.

However, there is no need to guard the gate. At this time, the bandit who closed the wall suddenly screamed in panic.

"Oh no! There are officers and soldiers! The officers and soldiers are coming! ”

"A lot of officers and soldiers, oh my God! Run! ”

……

There are dozens of thieves staring at the wall, if there is no one in the gate, and the door is still closed, with the high wall, no matter how many officers and soldiers outside, they will not be so panicked, but. The people below were fighting, and no one bothered to close the door that was still open, so that those officers and soldiers could directly enter through the gate. At this time, the officers and soldiers had already killed and approached, and it was too late for them to go down to the city and close the gates. So, the first thing I thought about was to escape.

However, it was too late to escape, because the sergeant who was anxious about Han Meng had already quietly sneaked less than a mile away from the pass, saw the scuffle inside from the pass, and saw that the gate was open, so he immediately launched an attack.

Although the cavalry is not conducive to fighting in the mountains and forests, each army of 4,000 people is allocated 4 or 500 cavalry to cooperate in the battle, so when Jiao Touch and Han Meng's 4 or 500 cavalry rush out of the pass with a bang, these two or three hundred thieves will be finished.

The big leader turned and fled in horror, but was chased by a horseman, and slew him with a single sword.

In the end, the thieves saw that they could not escape, so they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and more than 300 thieves killed nearly 100 people and captured more than 200 people.

Jiao Touch and Han Meng counted the casualties of their own army, and were pleasantly surprised to find that none of them died, only three sergeants were disabled, and more than ten sergeants were slightly injured.

Although it was only a small battle that had just begun, it was really a surprise to Jiao Touch and Han Meng to be able to win the first level of Longkouling with no casualties.

He couldn't wait to send the battle report to Yuan Shao for credit.

This was indeed the first merit of Yuan Shaojun's attack on the Black Mountain thieves, and when his letter arrived, it was half a day earlier than the other good news, and there was not a single casualty, and two hundred thieves were captured, which was the only case in the letter. This made Yuan Shao really happy.

Immediately gave Jiao Touch and Han Meng a note of this achievement, and sent his own soldiers to send some wine and food to reward Jiao Touch and Han Meng.

However, at this moment, Jiao Touch and Han Meng had already advanced deeper into the Black Mountain.

Under Meng Hao's Jianyi, two hundred sergeants were left to guard this Longkou Ridge, and in addition, one hundred sergeants were sent to escort two hundred prisoners to Yuan Shao's camp. In addition, he also sent dozens of soldiers to occupy the mountains on both sides, beware that the bandit soldiers would attack and kill from the mountains on both sides to the Longkouling Pass. He knew that he could take a detour into Longkouling, and the bandits naturally knew it.

Then, with Longkouling as the center, they sent dozens of 100 sergeants to occupy the entrance of the mountain road within ten miles of the nearby area, and stayed behind, especially the nearby villages, whether they were bandits or ordinary people, they had to be controlled, because, even if they were villagers, they could make a living under the noses of the bandits, and they would definitely have many unclear connections with the bandits, and most of the mountain people might be half-people and half-thieves, so they should be controlled first. lest they cause trouble. At the same time, it can also completely cut off the connection between the bandits in Montenegro and the outside world, and prevent some mountain people who have contact with the Montenegrin bandits from reporting to the bandits.

Of course, there are more important ones. These sergeants should keep in touch with each other frequently, and Meng Hao also informed Jiao Touch's subordinate sergeants about the method of the news tree, so that they could closely monitor the movements of the bandits, especially the movements of the 100,000 bandit army that was still outside the mountain, and once they found out that they had killed back to the mountain, they exchanged information in time. In this way, Yuan Shao can be notified in time, so that Yuan Shao can send reinforcements to wipe out the army of bandits in one fell swoop, and they can no longer be allowed to return to the mountain to strengthen the strength of the Black Mountain bandits.

In addition, along the way, when you encounter the mountain arteries guarded by bandits, you will also attack them one by one. Near the mountain road, if there is a cottage occupied by bandits, troops will also be sent to attack. Wipe out all the Black Mountain bandits in the area near the mountain road they are responsible for.

Suddenly, the bandits in Montenegro were in a panic, and the chickens and dogs jumped.

Although the officers and soldiers often attacked and suppressed them, it was extremely rare for them to attack and kill their old soldiers in such depth. I learned from the mouths of many bandit soldiers who escaped that this time the officers and soldiers were divided into multiple routes and marched together. In a crushing way, clear all bandit strongholds along the road. This time, the scale and resoluteness of the action were something that the bandits had never imagined.

In addition to these, what made the bandits panic even more was the actions of the officers and soldiers this time. As if they were very familiar with the terrain of the Black Mountain region, they could always find some mountain passes that were difficult to march, and suddenly sent troops behind them, taking them by surprise. Not counting these, what makes the bandits tremble is that the combat strength of the officers and soldiers seems to be stronger than the previous officers and soldiers, and they are not the opponents of the officers and soldiers at all.

Actions like Jiao Touch and Han Meng were staged on the other dozen or so military horses, and under the guidance of the special forces sent by Liu Yi to the mountains and forests, many relatively hidden bandit cottages could not escape the fate of being wiped out.

The same is true of Gongsun Zhan's army, with the help of Meng Ding, the multi-way military horses sent by Gongsun Zhan also completed the blockade of the passage in and out of Montenegro on the periphery of Montenegro.

The purpose of besieging Montenegro can basically be achieved.

Of course, this theory of sealing the mountain does not mean that it is impossible to really enclose the place within a radius of several hundred miles in Montenegro, if it is so, no army of one or two million can not think of doing it. Even if there is an army of one or two million, it may not be able to achieve a complete blockade and siege.

Liu Yi is centered on the main traffic artery, controls the nearby area, and takes the main road as the center to crack down on the nearby bandits and robbers. As long as the main communication arteries into Montenegro are controlled, the Montenegrin Army can be restrained from attacking its own army by virtue of the terrain and terrain, and the flexible movement of the Montenegrin Army can be restrained.

Your own army can also advance to Montenegro conveniently and safely, and you don't have to worry that in the process of marching, you will be attacked by the Montenegrin army who is familiar with the mountainous terrain of the Montenegrin area.

In fact, in this era, there is no such thing as guerrilla warfare, and if Zhang Yan knows how to fight guerrilla warfare, he can completely use his army to the fullest extent and take advantage of his familiarity with the terrain to ambush and raid the officers and soldiers who occupy the main roads of Montenegro, or set up ambushes for the officers and soldiers in some dangerous terrain, so that Liu Yi's plan to attack Montenegro this time can also be completely crushed.

It's a pity that Zhang Yan didn't have such thoughts at all. The first thing he thought of was that he wanted to take advantage of the danger of Montenegro to defend and be invincible, and his headquarters did not have the slightest intention of mobilizing to meet the attacking officers and soldiers, but only sent a few leaders of the Yellow Turban Army to lead the army to meet the battle. And they did not think of taking advantage of the terrain to attack the officers and soldiers in a sneak attack.

Liu Yi originally planned to join forces with Gongsun Zhan and advance to the hinterland of Montenegro together, but considering that the three-way attack could give Zhang Yan's thieves more urgent pressure, forcing them to be more panicked and not dare to engage with the officers and soldiers casually, so Liu Yi decided to advance from the northwest of Montenegro all the way.

As for the two Montenegrin armies of 100,000 each in Zhongshan County, Zhao State, and Changshan County, Liu Yi planned to put them aside first and let them mess up.

At this time, they are more concerned and more worried about the safety of their old suppression, and they absolutely have no intention of attacking Youzhou and Hebei again. If Montenegro is destroyed, their 200,000 military horses will become rootless, and they will be encircled and attacked by officers and soldiers in Youzhou and Hebei, and the Yellow Turban Army will be defeated and wiped out again.

Therefore, Liu Yi believes that they will return to Montenegro and want to return to Montenegro to join Zhang Yan to ensure the safety of Montenegro. And then. It was time for Liu Yi to eliminate these two Montenegrin armies.

decided to advance to the hinterland of Montenegro, and Liu Yi sent fast horses to Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao respectively, informing them to march separately together. Then, set up camp with Gao Shun. The army marched mightily.

Liu Yi marched through the passage opened by Dian Wei.

Dian Wei led two thousand military horses, all the way to the fastest advance, like a bamboo.

The passage he marched through was called Baidai Road.

Along the way, in addition to a relatively easy road to walk, there are many mountain trails that connect the road to countless mountain villages.

Lewi's army. He didn't have as many troops as Yuan Shao, so there were no other people sent to guard many mountain trails, and they couldn't be guarded. However, after reconnaissance by the sergeants of the special operations in the mountains and forests, they found a place where they could hold a little bit and control the entire area, leaving one or two hundred sergeants to guard it. In this way, the activities of the bandits in the Montenegro region can be completely suppressed.

For example, in an area more than twenty miles away from Montenegro. There is a canyon with three exits, and the road in the canyon is a necessary road for a radius of dozens of miles nearby.

Dian Wei is now in this canyon, except for the sergeants he has sent out all the way, when he arrives here, he only has about 800 sergeants in his hands.

At this point, in order to control this canyon. He could no longer lead his army forward.

Not only that, but the thief soldiers sent by Zhang Yan have also come to the outside of this Sankou Valley, and they want to recapture the canyon occupied by Dian Wei, and they have been fighting with Dian Wei for a whole day.

According to the interrogation of Dian Wei's capture of the thief soldiers, it was learned. The commander of the thieves is the leader of the Black Mountain thieves, Colonel Zuo and Yu Poison. They each had 30,000 troops, a total of 50,000 or 60,000 men.

Dian Wei was a pass, leading two or three hundred soldiers to guard a valley mouth, no matter how many thieves there were, it was difficult to advance for a while, outside the valley mouth, the corpses of the thieves had been piled up.

In addition to the valley where Liu Yi came, another valley also came with a military horse, and there should be a division of Colonel Zuo and Yu Poison.

There are too many thieves, Dian Wei is very worried that his troops are insufficient, and they will be killed into the canyon from other places, according to the special sergeant of the mountain forest who reconnoites the terrain, in addition to the three entrances in and out of the canyon on the surface, there are several other places where you can enter and exit the canyon, but you have to go over the mountains.

He was overjoyed to see Liu Yi leading the army to come, although he didn't know how to use strategy, but, after Liu Yi's beating, when he led the army to fight, he also learned that he could not sacrifice the life of the sergeant casually, he led the sergeant to guard all day, if the thieves continued to attack like this, he planned to abandon the canyon at night, retreat first, ask Liu Yi for more sergeants, and then recapture the three valleys.

He also told Liu Yi about this idea, and Liu Yi praised him very happily, understanding that it is a good thing to advance and retreat, no matter what the situation, if it is not necessary, it is better to know how to save his life. If Liu Yi didn't lead the army to come, it would be really difficult and very dangerous for his eight hundred soldiers to withstand the attack of tens of thousands of thieves.

However, since Liu Yi's army of more than 20,000 has come, it is the future of these thieves, and Dian Wei does not need to withdraw anymore.

In this valley, there are some mountain ranges, the terrain is relatively large, and there are several miles of open space, but the three entrances and exits seem to have been dug out from the mountains, as if two or three entrances and exits have been dug out.

Well, in other words, the outer mountains are steep, but the mountains inside are relatively gentle, and it is difficult to enter the mountains from the outside of the valley, but it is easy to get out of the valley.

The valley mouth here, like the Longkou Ridge, has long been blocked at the mouth of the valley by the stone wall built by the bandits, and if you want to control the canyon, as long as you occupy the stone wall at the entrance, you can do it lightly.

Such a mountain is actually a natural Tibetan Soldier Valley.

When Liu Yi's army came, it did not alarm Colonel Zuo and Yu Poison, they were outside the valley, and they couldn't see the situation in the valley at all. Seeing that there were not many defenders in the valley, they planned to retake this communication artery in one fell swoop. However, they attacked for a whole day, but they met with stubborn resistance from the officers and men. Together, they decided to divide their forces and attack a gorge facing the hinterland of Montenegro.

These three canyons have a mysterious topography, and they also thought that if they recaptured this canyon and then stayed here tightly, it would be impossible for the officers and soldiers to pass from here. If the officers and soldiers made a detour into the hinterland of Montenegro from other places, then their soldiers and horses could also send troops from within this canyon to attack the back of the officers and soldiers, and flank the officers and soldiers together with Zhang Yan's main force of Montenegro.

Therefore, they felt that this canyon had to be controlled in their hands.

Here, there were originally two thousand Black Mountain thieves guarding the town, and Colonel Zuo and Yu Poison didn't understand how they could lose this place and be occupied by officers and soldiers.

In fact, they didn't expect that when Dian Wei led the army here, Dian Wei could forcibly capture it, Dian Wei was in the mountains, walking like flying, and the general cliffs couldn't stop him at all. He forcibly climbed between the cliffs, moved from the cliffs to the surface of the stone wall, jumped from the top, fell off the wall, and with the strength of one man, grabbed the stone wall alive, opened the gate, and let the officers and soldiers in.

Such a killing god, fortunately, was not seen by Colonel Zuo and Yu Poison, otherwise, I was afraid that I would scare them to death, and I didn't dare to discuss the matter of attacking this canyon again. Because, even if they take it, so what? If the officers and soldiers want to take it back again, isn't it still hand-to-hand? (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come. )
