Chapter 21 Bow to Zhang Yan
In the early morning of the next day, under the careful service of Cai Wenji like a little wife, Hu Li, who was dressed neatly, ordered his soldiers to prepare to set off, and at Hu Li's strong request, Hu Li and Cai Wenji rode Xiaobai together, hugged Cai Wenji's soft and boneless delicate body, sniffed Cai Wenji's fragrant hair, and laughed in a low voice with Cai Wenji in his ear from time to time. After sending the plundered Han people back to their hometown in Bingzhou, Hu Li took the wolf horse to avoid the garrison in Bingzhou, and returned to the territory of Changshan State a few days later, and after separating from Zhao Yun, on the eighth day of the first month of 197 AD, Hu Li arrived in Zhending City.
introduced Cai Wenji to Zhao Yu, and saw the two daughters getting along in harmony, Hu Li, who was relieved, hugged Hu Yu, who was already two years old, and enjoyed a rare family fun. However, the happy time is always short-lived, on the fifteenth day of the first month, Shangai County sent an emergency military situation through Xinying, and the state assassin Shi Gaogan led an army of 80,000 to block Zhang Yan and other 100,000 black mountain thieves in Zhan County, 100,000 black mountain thieves can only retreat to Shangai County, Shangai County only has 10,000 recruits who have been trained for half a year, and Shangai County has ordered Gong Shangai to lose, and he asked Hu Li for help. After reading the information, Hu Li immediately sent a letter to the eagle, asking Zhao Yun to lead three thousand wolf cavalry to support Shangai County, and he took the beast battalion and one hundred soldiers to take the first step.
Five days later, in the evening, Hu Li and Zhao Yun, who set off from Jiumen, arrived at Shangai County almost at the same time, at this time, the Montenegrin Army and Gao Gan's 80,000 Yuan Army had arrived in Shangai County for two days, and they all stationed the camp thirty miles away from Shangai County, Gao Gan asked Shangai County not to interfere in the previous battle between the Yuan Army and the Montenegrin Army, and the Montenegrin Army hoped that Shangai County would help contain the Yuan Army and provide some grain and grass for the Montenegrin Army, Shangai County Commander did not dare to call the shots, so the three parties were so deadlocked, and the Montenegrin Army saw that the grain and grass were about to run out, There is a great intention to divide troops to attack Shangai and obtain grain and grass.
When Hu Li and Zhao Yun entered the city, they deliberately avoided the scouts of the Yuan army through the vision of the golden eagle, so Hu Li decided to attack the Yuan army's camp at night and catch the Yuan army by surprise. Hu Li sent Zhang Yan the information that he agreed to attack Yuan Jun at night tonight, seeing the owl's extremely human performance, and then thinking of the rumors that Hu Li could drive the beast to fight, Zhang Yan gave Hu a positive reply after a little hesitation.
It is worth mentioning that after possessing Cai Wenji with a face value of 99 last time, Hu Li obtained 200 charm points, and after seeing Xiong Da's violence and inexplicability, Hu Li used 200 charm points to strengthen two brown bears, which are called Xiong Er and Cuihua, that's right, Cuihua is a female brown bear, Hu Li feels that the offspring born to the strengthened brown bear must also be extraordinary, and Cuihua is rewarded to the bear with outstanding achievements. The strengthened three brown bears are almost the same size, all of them are standing tall and weighing more than 1,600 pounds, but Xiong Er and Cuihua's coat color is a little yellow and brighter, Cuihua is slightly smaller, and Xiong Er is a little stronger, and it is estimated that he is usually more greedy. The three brown bears are all heavily armored and carry a large iron rod six meters long and the thickness of the bowl. Hu Li brought three brown bears and more than eighty other beasts over this time, Xiong Da could already be handed over to the pillar to command, while Xiong Er and Cuihua still needed Hu Li to command personally.
After agreeing with Zhang Yan to attack Yuan's camp at night, Hu Li and the three thousand wolf riders seized the time to rest. In the middle of the night, after seeing Zhang Yan's action in the camp through the owl, Hu Li and the three thousand wolf riders followed the beast army army and rushed towards the Yuan army camp, because the beast army has basically overcome the fear of fire after training, so when there were still ten miles away from the Yuan army camp, Hu Li set fire to several camp tents by controlling the owl and the golden eagle to throw torches from high altitude, causing a riot, and so rushed to the front and back of the Yuan army camp tent. Hu Li controlled Xiong Er and Cuihua and Xiong Da under the command of the pillar, and the three attacking tanks violently dismantled the antlers, horses, horses and pits in front of the Yuan army's tent, these obstacles may be insurmountable for ordinary cavalry, but for the beast camp led by the three big brown bears, it was so weak and powerless, along the road that the beast camp stepped on, three thousand wolves rode towards the Yuan army camp.
Yuan Jun obviously learned the lesson of the defeat in the last battle of Zhending, seeing the beast attacking, the soldiers of the Yuan army were panicked but did not shoot the rockets that had been prepared, although the rockets could not break through the defense of the beast wearing iron armor, but the wall of fire formed still caused a riot to the beast, fortunately Hu Li had a foresight for this, and ordered the three brown bears to swing the iron rod to smash the rocket as much as possible, the beast that had basically overcome the fear of flames rushed towards the Yuan army again under the shouting order of the soldiers of the beast battalion. Seeing that the rocket failed, Yuan Jun immediately panicked, but under the threat of killing by the rear overseer, he could only use his flesh and blood to resist the three killing machines.
With the fierce beast battalion in front to attract firepower, Zhao Yun led the three thousand wolf horsemen to take the opportunity to disperse and set fire to each large battalion, and the chaos of the Yuan army was further expanded when the soldiers were busy fighting the fire, and the generals who stood up to command were either killed by Zhao Yun or killed by Hu Li with three brown bears. And Zhang Yan on the left side of the Yuan army camp led 20,000 elites to see the opportunity to give the Yuan army a fatal blow, the battle was not over until the afternoon of the next day, the wolf cavalry and the Montenegrin army annihilated more than 20,000 Yuan troops, captured more than 30,000 Yuan troops, only more than 20,000 Yuan troops escaped, the Montenegrin army lost more than 3,000 people, and the wolf cavalry killed more than 300 people, slightly injured more than 700 people, this is because the wolf cavalry are cavalry and good armor.
The victorious wolf cavalry and the Montenegrin army held a grand celebration banquet, at which Zhang Yan said to Hu Li: "Brother Zijin, Feiyan has something to ask for. ”
"Brother Feiyan, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
"Brother Zijin's policy in Changshan Country has also heard about it, Brother Yu also consulted the opinions of his brothers, and decided to entrust his 50,000 old and weak and 20,000 young men with families to Zijin to be placed in Changshan Country, in return, the materials captured in this war and the captured Brother Yu of the Yuan Army do not want at all, as long as a little grain and grass is enough for our remaining 30,000 young men to return to the party, and Brother Yu promised here that as long as there is a place where my Montenegrin Army is needed, my Montenegrin Army will not hesitate." Zhang Yan pleaded earnestly with Hu Li. Now that Yuan Shao is getting stronger and stronger, the Montenegrin army that has made enemies with Yuan Shao is becoming more and more difficult to survive in the cracks, Zhang Yan can't bear to see his brothers who have followed him for more than ten years flee with him in embarrassment as they do today, especially those who have lost the pillars of their families and live a life of exile.
"Brother Feiyan is serious, I will definitely settle these 70,000 Montenegrin Army brothers, and I will treat them the same as the people in Changshan, and if Brother Feiyan believes in my son, I can place all the old and weak brothers of the Montenegrin Army and those who want to live a stable life in my Changshan country, and I will definitely use my life to protect the people in my territory and let them live a happy life." Hu Li swore to the sky with a solemn face.
"Good brother, how about you and I become brothers with different surnames?" Zhang Yan patted Hu Li on the shoulder and said.
"Thank you for the love of the eldest brother, the younger brother is willing."
"The sky is above, the earth is below, I Zhang Yan, I Hu Li, today I voluntarily become brothers with different surnames, in the future, we will share blessings and difficulties, do not seek to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but to die on the same day of the same month and month of the same year, if you swear to this, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed!"
After taking the oath, the two hugged each other, and then laughed and went to drink.
