"Quick, use the grain cart to block the Black Mountain Thief Cavalry!"

Seeing that the cavalry of the Black Mountain thieves was rampant, and his army was killed in chaos, while his own cavalry was transferred away by Yuan Mai, Lu Yi had a feeling of wanting to cry without tears.

If you use infantry to resist, it is the rhythm of death. The enemy's 4,000 cavalry charged down, and Zhang Wu's 2,000 men were estimated to have disappeared from the world.

With the order of Koji Yi, the people on the battlefield shouted and neighed, and the grain transporters drove the grain cart forward one after another, lying in the center of the two armies, blocking the impact of the Black Mountain thief cavalry, and then hiding behind the grain cart and releasing arrows. The cavalry could not rush through because of the grain wagons, and the momentum of the charge was blocked, and they were shot down by a burst of arrows from the officers and soldiers, but they lost 100 people.

However, Zhang Yan came to attack this time for two purposes, if he can kill Yuan Bing, he will kill the soldiers, and if he can grab grain, he will grab grain. Because the Northern Expeditionary Army was going to expedition to Saibei, it escorted 150,000 stone grain and grass with the army, which was a considerable amount of grain.

"All the troops are attacking and grabbing grain and grass!"

Zhang Yan, who was wearing a black horse under his crotch, wearing a silver helmet and a yellow scarf silk cloth wrapped in his helmet, was stationed on Ma Gaopo, calmly observing the situation. Seeing that Koji Yi ordered to block the road of the cavalry with grain and grass carts, he immediately responded and ordered the foot soldiers to grab food.

With the sound of the horn, the Black Mountain thief cavalry retreated one after another, and more than 30,000 foot soldiers rushed up like a tide, while exchanging fire with the officers and soldiers, while plundering the grain and grass, and even worse, hacked the officers and soldiers on the grain and grass cart, and drove the carriage away. Although the officers and men were in a hurry, they were too inferior in numbers, and they did not dare to rush through the grain and grass carts to fight for it, so they could only fire arrows from a distance. It didn't take much effort, and more than half of the 150,000 stone grain and grass were robbed.

At this time, the battle in front of him ended, and the Black Mountain thief Dahong tribe had been defeated by Hao Zhao and Wang Shuang, and Yuan Mai, who got the news of the Black Mountain thief's grain robbery, hurriedly took the lead and led five hundred guards to support Lu Yi. Wang Shuang's cavalry also arrived, while the Hao Zhao tribe continued to hold their positions and watch over the prisoners.

"The whole army will attack and take back the grain and grass!"

Seeing the arrival of reinforcements, Koji Yicai's scolding command launched a counterattack, and with an order, six or seven thousand troops crossed the grain cart and began to launch a counterattack against the retreating Montenegrin bandits, fighting for the grain and grass that they had stolen.

Just when the officers and soldiers were fighting fiercely with the Montenegrin thieves, the minister of Changshan State received a report and hurriedly led the 2,000 troops in the city to help in the battle. If there is a war in the territory, as the minister of state, he will definitely be held accountable by Yuan Shao after the war if he does not send troops to help. Although he was afraid of the strong Black Mountain bandits, the Minister of State Dong Cen still had to leave a thousand defenders and lead 2,000 people out of the city to help in the battle.

Zhang Yan stationed on the high slope of the horse, saw that the officers and soldiers had two reinforcements coming, and this cavalry looked extremely elite, so he ordered the troops to be collected, and most of the grain and grass had been looted.

With the sound of the gong, the Black Mountain thieves began to retreat. However, although the officers and men fought hard to pursue and kill, they were at an absolute disadvantage in numbers, and they could not take much advantage. Moreover, Zhang Yan had already set up an ambush on the way to retreat, and the two sides fought fiercely until dusk, and the battle finally ended.

The remnant sun is like blood, the battlefield is filled with the smell of blood, and the wolf smoke that has not been extinguished is blown away by the gusts of wind, like crying like a song......

Counting the number of people, Hao Zhao's department lost more than 200 people, and Wang Shuang's cavalry lost more than 60 people, but the two armies combined almost completely annihilated the 10,000 black mountain thieves in Dahong, killed more than 5,000 people, captured 2,000 people, and only escaped more than 2,000 routs.

There were joys and sorrows, and the complete victory of Wang Shuang and Hao Zhao did not make the Northern Expeditionary Army happy. Because most of the grain and grass escorted by Zhang Wu was robbed, only 60,000 stone of grain and grass were left of the 150,000 stones, which could barely last for about a month.

Moreover, under the strong attack of the Montenegrin cavalry, Zhang Wubu killed and wounded more than 800 people, and the subordinates under the command of Koji Yi also killed and wounded more than 300 people.

After a fierce battle, the officers and soldiers did not dare to go west, the number of black mountain thieves was as high as more than 100,000, and less than half of the men and horses attacked today, and if they launched a surprise attack again in the middle of the night, the consequences were unimaginable, so they retreated to camp under the Yuan clan city of Changshan State Administration.

"Today, the grain and grass have been robbed, and it all depends on your indiscriminate command! If you hadn't mobilized the cavalry without authorization, how could Zhang Yan have robbed so much grain and grass? This was supposed to be three months of grain and grass for our army, but now more than half of it has been lost, so what can I do? After a hearty meal, Koji gathered people above the rank of lieutenant to hold a military meeting. As soon as the number of people arrived, they began to complain about Yuan buying.

"Hao Bodao's forward department is besieged, and if he doesn't go to the rescue, the consequences will be unimaginable. The robbery of grain and grass can only show that Zhang Wu is not effective in fighting, why do you blame me? "Yuan Mai also knows that the grain and grass have been robbed, and he has to bear a little responsibility, but he doesn't want to admit his mistake, if he is caught by Liyi, he will not be able to oppose him?

"Cavalry is the soul of an army, and you have transferred it. The Black Mountain thieves used cavalry to charge into battle, how could Zhang Wu resist? If you change Hao Zhao's vanguard battalion to fight against the cavalry of the Black Mountain Thieves, you will also be killed and defeated! Koji Yi stroked his beard and protested dissatisfiedly.

Seeing that the prison army and the main general were arguing, Tian Feng opened his mouth to persuade him: "Don't quarrel between the two of you, the matter has come to this point, and it is useless to quarrel again." General Xianyong's transfer of cavalry cannot be said to be right or wrong. After all, Hao Bodao and Wang Ziquan united to fight a beautiful battle and killed Dahong, a traitor. Without the support of the cavalry, Hao Zhao would definitely suffer. And even if our cavalry stays to protect the grain and grass, it may not be cheap. Because the Montenegrin thieves will not collect their troops if they don't grab the grain and grass, and the battle will be fought to the end, it will definitely be a lose-lose scene! ”

After listening to Tian Feng's words, Koji Yi thought about it too. The reason why Zhang Yan ordered the withdrawal of troops was because he had already grabbed grain and grass; If they haven't succeeded, the Montenegrin thieves will definitely not withdraw their troops, and the two sides will fight desperately, and it is likely to be a lose-lose situation in the end. Even if you can keep the grain and grass and lose more than half of the soldiers, that situation is even worse than now!

"General Koji doesn't need to be angry, the Black Mountain Thieves must be prepared for a surprise attack, and if there is no gain, they will definitely not retreat. Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, not to mention that we have defeated the Great Hung Department today, and it is not a loss. Although your subordinates have suffered a lot of losses, fortunately, Hao Bodao and the prince have captured more than 2,000 Black Mountain thieves, and you can choose some elite supplementary teams from them. In this way, the combat effectiveness of our army can still be maintained! Seeing that Koji Yi stopped talking, Yuan Mai also took a step.

Although Koji Yi did not look down on these captured Black Mountain thieves, the matter had come to this point, and after losing more than 1,000 people, the number of troops directly under him was less than 7,000 people, and the necessary replenishment must be made. Although these black mountain thieves have poor combat effectiveness, they can still be used as cannon fodder with a little transformation, so they nodded and agreed.

Seeing that the main general and the prison army had stopped arguing, Tian Feng breathed a long sigh of relief and suggested: "Since Zhang Yan ignored the thunderous anger of the lord and launched a surprise attack on our army, he must have come prepared. If we go to Taihang Mountain again, we will inevitably be ambushed. It seems that the only way to change the route of the march is to go all the way north, first to Fanyang, and then to Daijun. In this way, we can avoid the Montenegrin thieves from taking advantage of the dangerous situation in Taihang Mountain to attack and harass our army. ”

"How can you go deep alone and not prepare all the food and grass? 150,000 stone can hold out for our army for three months, and 60,000 stone can only last more than a month, if this problem cannot be solved, if you enter the army from Fanyang and cut off the way of retreat, you will be thrown into the net! Koji Yi said worriedly.

"There is a plan in the end, I don't know if I should talk about it or not?" Leader stepped out of the tent and asked.
