ps: Thank you for the reward, bow and thank you! Work hard for two more, do your best to code words, and ask for recommendation votes @!

"Childe, there's a big tree ahead!" The Fan brothers shouted almost in unison.

Yuan Mai also saw the big tree in front of him, and vaguely saw a horse stopping under the tree, and instructed the Fan brothers: "You two should hide aside, let me go and meet this by myself, but he proposed to ask my son to come to the appointment alone." ”

Although the Fan brothers were a little worried about Yuan Mai, they still quietly hid in the dark, bent their bows and arrows, and if they were stubborn, they would shoot him off the horse first, and then go to protect the son.

"It's the fourth son of the Yuan Jizhou family?" From a distance, he saw a horse running slowly and shouted loudly.

"Exactly!" Yuan Mai stopped his horse at a distance of ten zhang and agreed, "I am the fourth son of Jizhou Mu Yuan Benchu, and Yuan Mai Yuan Xianyong is also." Presumably the one in front of him is handsome, right? ”

Seeing that Yuan Mai was calm and unhurried, he turned over and dismounted, and said: "The villain is Zheng Gu, please see the son." I have long had the heart to defect to the state pastor, but unfortunately no one recommended him, and now I am called by the son and am willing to lead the department to go along. ”

Yuan Mai nodded and said loudly: "As long as you help our army get through the caliber, you will be awarded the position of a partial general, and you will never break your word!" When he waits for my Yuan family to succeed, you will be one of the generals. ”

"Okay, Childe rode to the appointment alone, and he knew that he was a trustworthy person. I'll go back and sort out the men and horses of the headquarters, pretend to offer food to Zhang Yan, and fight with him on the hillside, Gongzi led the army to cross the valley later, and the Black Mountain thieves will definitely have no time to ambush Gongzi's men and horses. In order to gain Yuan Mai's trust, Zhenggu took the initiative to submit a letter of nomination.

"Okay, it's a word, you pretend to offer food in front, and I will lead the army across the valley later!"

After the two agreed, Su Gu immediately turned his horse away and returned to the headquarters to arrange. Yuan Mai beckoned Fan Hu over, exchanged horses with him, and asked him to ride his "cloud-piercing black horse", and quickly went to the front to inform Hao Zhao and Wang Shuang, and let the solid men and horses go over.

Two hours later, the sky was already hazy and a little shiny.

He led his subordinates to drive the carriage to the bottom of the caliber, and shouted loudly: "Brothers on the mountain, don't let go of arrows, we are the subordinates of the commander of the Gugu Qu, who robbed the officers and soldiers of grain and grass last night and came to offer food." ”

Zhang Yan listened to Wulu's return, because the officers and soldiers easily crossed the valley in the middle, and attacked from both sides, resulting in heavy losses for the Wulu Division, and he was angry in his heart. A number of scouts were sent to inquire about the news of Zhenggu, but there was no return, and it is estimated that they were all intercepted and killed by officers and soldiers. He also sent a light cavalry to inquire about the news, but it was also intercepted by Wang Shuang's cavalry, and he could not pass through the valley, so he knew nothing about the news of Zhenggu.

"Is it really stubborn?" Zhang Yan listened and frowned and asked.

"I'll see for myself if it's true or not!" Wulu said with a sense of anger, and he would have to settle accounts with Zheng Gu in a while, and ask him why the officers and soldiers passed through this valley in the middle so easily?

Wulu left the tent and stood on a rock to look out, who was the person on the white horse below? immediately went back to report to Zhang Yan, "That's it, he said that he robbed the grain and grass of the officers and soldiers, and came to offer food." ”

Zhang Yan ordered that the grain should be collected and distributed after the war was over. After the grain and grass are delivered, please go to the handsome tent to talk. Zhang Yan's order was handed down, and the Montenegrin army removed the antlers, removed the horse rejecting rifles, and let the 6,000 men and horses escort the grain and grass carts into the valley of the Fu caliber.

I saw the cliffs on both sides of the caliber, the arrow tower towered, the valley under the cliff, the narrowest place is only three or five zhang, it is definitely the sinister terrain of "one man is the key to ten thousand people".

"Put the antlers and the repulsor back again, and beware of the officers and soldiers rushing into the valley!" A lieutenant with a long sword at his waist commanded the Black Mountain Thieves to put all the defensive items back in place.

"On the orders of General Yuan, crusade against the Black Mountain thief Zhang Yan, and those who surrender will not die!" With a sudden shout, he slashed the lieutenant from behind, and commanded his subordinates to destroy the defenses on both sides of the valley.

For a while, the sound of killing shook the sky, and the torches in the valley were bright, and the sword light and sword shadows flickered. Zhang Yan's men and horses couldn't react for a while, and they were stunned by the stubborn people, and they lay down more than 300 corpses in a small time.

"Quick, fast...... Go to the valley and destroy the Ballista Tower! While wielding a knife to fight, he commanded his subordinates to destroy the defenses in the valley, and Yuan Mai's sentence of "sealing the marquis and worshipping the general" in the future filled Su Gu's heart with endless motivation.

At this moment, Yuan Mai's troops had already passed through the valley mouth, followed by the troops of Zhenggu to arrive at the caliber, the distance was only five or six miles, seeing the sound of killing in front of the sky, and the night sky shining with firelight, he knew that the Zhugu had reversed, and he was overjoyed, and ordered Wang Shuang's cavalry to pass through the caliber first, and Hao Zhaohe led his subordinates to aid Zhenggu, and took the opportunity to occupy the caliber. The other horses, following closely behind, drove into the valley one after another.

Zhang Yan heard that Zhenggu not only rebelled, but also came to seize the valley, killed himself by surprise, and was furious like thunder, leading his subordinates to encircle and suppress the Zhenggu tribe together.

"Everyone obeys the order, at all costs, swears to kill Zhenggu, behead his head, seal the canal, and reward 10,000 stones of food!" Zhang Yan trembled with anger and promised the heaviest reward to his subordinates.

Zhang Yan's subordinates had the advantage in numbers, 20,000 against 6,000, and the quality was also superior, just now they were caught off guard, and after stabilizing their positions, they suddenly gained the upper hand, and the killing of the Gu Gu Department continued to retreat.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and Wang Shuang led the cavalry into the valley. The sound of horses' hooves rumbled, and in an instant, countless Black Mountain bandit soldiers died under the horses' hooves.

In order to pass through the valley as soon as possible, Wang Shuang ordered that no matter whether it was a solid subordinate or Zhang Yan's subordinates lying in the middle of the road, they would all run rampant, and pass through the valley mouth first.

The defensive facilities on the mountain, such as the crossbow tower and the catapult tower, have been half destroyed, and the rest dare not be launched, because Zhang Yan's troops are entangled with the solid men and horses, and if the arrows are shot down and the stones are fallen, they will inevitably hurt their own people. It didn't take much effort to pass through the caliber unharmed by Wang Shuang's cavalry, and only lost more than fifty horsemen, but five or six hundred Black Mountain thieves were killed.

After Wang Shuang's cavalry passed through the valley, Hao Zhaohe led 6,000 officers and soldiers to assist the Zhengu tribe to counterattack Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army.

At this time, Yuan Mai and Lu Yi led the men and horses behind them to catch up one after another, and saw that Zhang Yan's troops were gradually exhausted, and Lu Yi asked Yuan Mai and Tian Feng to take care of the grain and grass, and he led two thousand infantry plus Tian Chou's two thousand soldiers, and poured into the war group.

The officers and men are elite and well-equipped, and their combat effectiveness is by no means comparable to that of the Montenegrin thieves. Coupled with the 6,000 people of the anti-Gogu Division, the strength of the two sides was almost close to one to one, and the Black Mountain thieves were suddenly completely at a disadvantage, and after a hand-to-hand battle, they lost more than 3,000 people. Up and down the mountain, almost stained red with blood.

"This time I have done a lot of harm to this traitor!"

Seeing that the officers and soldiers were becoming more and more courageous, Zhang Yan could only sigh helplessly and ordered the whole army to retreat and retreat to the north along another trail of Fu caliber. The big husband can bend and stretch, and he will not fight overnight.

Under the command of Zhang Yan, the Montenegrin army began to retreat, leaving the most elite troops to drag behind, both of them were strangled together, although the officers and soldiers killed many Montenegrin thieves, but they could not cross the last line of defense, and in the end Zhang Yan's main force escaped.

When the day came, the battle was finally over, and the corpses were piled up all over the valley, the broken flags were hoisted low, and the badly wounded horses were screaming on the ground, but no one paid attention to them......

In the fierce battle of one night, not counting the losses of the Wulu Division, Zhang Yan's subordinates lost more than 5,000 people in the battle of Fu Caliber alone, and the Zheng Gu Department also lost more than 3,000 people, and the officers and soldiers only lost more than 800 people.

After retiring from the army, Zhang Yan was a little surprised, why didn't the 20,000 people stationed in the south of Wang Dang and Sun Qing, plus Zhang Baiqi and Zuo Xiao's men and horses, come to help?

After the two divisions met, they learned that Lu Kuang's vanguard troops attacked the camp at night, and the two sides were strangled together, and it was difficult to get out, so they failed to rush to help Zhang Yan. After dawn, the Lu brothers led an army of 30,000 to arrive one after another, and Wang Dang and Sun Qing saw that the situation was not good, so they led the army back to Taihang Mountain, taking advantage of the steep terrain to resist the strong attack of officers and soldiers.

At this point, the natural danger has been lost, and the various departments have suffered heavy losses, Zhang Yan has no choice but to temporarily lie dormant on Taihang Mountain, wait and see the changes, and then try to make a good plan.
