Chapter Twenty-Nine: I am Changshan Zhao Zilong
In the days after Gao Yuan left, Yuan Shao waved his army to storm Guandu. [ads:This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:,.] Cao Cao took advantage of the barrier, Guo Jia and others designed a strict defense, and Liu Ye's thunderbolt car helped them, shooting and smashing violently, and Yuan's army suffered heavy losses and could not break through.
Immediately after, Zhang Yan of the Black Mountain Army of Taihang Mountain raised troops, known as 300,000 troops, and attacked Changshan, Zhaojun, Zhongshan, Shangdang and other counties. and played the edict of Fengtianzi to quell the rebellion for the country, which came from the fact that he was named the general of Pingbei by Cao Cao.
The bandit has become a yankuai! The general has become a traitor!
How could Yuan Benchu, the fourth and third dukes, bear it, but this is the benefit of coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes. Say you're a general, you're a general, say you're a traitor, you're a traitor. Cao Cao was furious, and ordered Emperor Han Xian to issue an order to push Yuan Shao's general to the end.
Guandu, Yuan Jun's side.
Yuan Shao looked at the edict he had pushed to the end, trembling all over, and he couldn't help but be angry, he smashed the case, "What went wrong?" How did it come to this? ”
The lord was angry. Hebei Wenwu remained silent in a panic, because nothing had happened recently, and if there was really something, only Gao Yuan left with three thousand people.
Yuan Shao thought about it for a long time, and also thought of this, and subconsciously said: "Gao Mengyan took away three thousand people, how could it be like this!" He couldn't figure it out, but there were only 3,000 men missing. Isn't it nonsense that there are 3,000 fewer people?
Guo Tu can't let Yuan Shao think about it anymore, because now the account is full of his own people, and the tricks to attack Guandu are all thought of by his own people, and it is not good to punish anyone.
Yuan Shao's strategist group is rarely united, Guo Tu's eyes rolled, Gao Yuan didn't say a word to him, but he was forced to help Gao Yuan, so he was very unhappy, and took the opportunity to say: "Zhang Yan is in trouble with my hinterland, and I must prevent it." Calculating the time, Gao Yuan's soldiers and horses should have walked to the vicinity of Yecheng. The third prince can lead the Jizhou garrison army and control the lofty soldiers and horses. The lord sent reinforcements again to encircle and suppress the Montenegrin army. ”
This Black Mountain Army is hidden in the thousands of miles of Taihang Mountain, and Yuan Shao has repeatedly encircled and suppressed, but he has not really eliminated Zhang Yan.
Feng Jijin said: "The Montenegrin army claims to be 300,000, but in fact, the people in the mountains are also added, and the maximum number of troops that can fight is about 30,000. With the three sons and their headquarters and Gao Mengyan's help, they will definitely be able to quell the rebellion quickly. ”
Yuan Shao was very concerned about the matter of borrowing troops from a lofty position, and he was quite thoughtful when he heard the words.
……
October of the fifth year of Jian'an, Changshan County, south of Damao Mountain, Zhending County.
At the foot of the majestic mountain, the two armies faced each other.
On one side is the soldiers and horses of Yuan Shang, the third son of the Yuan family, with 22,000 people, excellent armor and strict military appearance. On the other side is Zhang Yan of the Montenegrin Army, with an estimated 20,000 people, loose formation, and most of them have no armor.
Yuan Shang had 4,000 garrisons in Jizhou, and Yuan Shao sent 15,000 troops to support the general Gao Ran, plus more than 3,000 people in Gao Yuan, and the army was extremely strong.
Standing high in front of the horse formation, looking at the mountains not far away, the mountains are tall and steep, and the peaks are surrounded by clouds and mist.
This Damao Mountain is the name of the later generations that he called. This mountain is now called Heng Mountain, and this Heng Mountain is not the other Heng Mountain.
Among the five mountains in later generations, Heng Mountain, Beiyue, was only designated as Shanxi Hunyuan Tianfeng Ridge in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. The Gubei Yue Heng Mountain has been in Hebei from the Han Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, that is, this Damao Mountain.
During the Anti-Japanese War, Guheng Mountain was a deep mountain to protect one side, and the Japanese army did not dare to attack easily. The Northern Branch and the Jin-Cha-Ji Headquarters were stationed in Taiyu, Liandi, and Baiya under the Guheng Mountain respectively, and there are many cave garrisons on the mountain, such as the famous Laojun Cave.
Now it is impossible for our army to establish a base here, but the Montenegrin army has a base here. Not only Damao Mountain, but the entire Taihang Mountains are the home of the Montenegrin Army. Therefore, the Black Mountain Army, which occupies the Taihang Mountain system, can exist within Yuan Shao and come out to harass from time to time.
Yuan Shang is a white-faced young man, born handsome, with the unique arrogance of the family, and the generals Ma Yan and Su You around him, and the generals Gao Lan.
Behind Gao Yuan, Zhang Liao, Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, and Pei Yuanshao were lined up.
Yuan Shang stepped forward with a gun and pointed out from afar: "Zhang Yanpifu, who has committed a crime in our state and county, today the soldiers of this son are here, and you will be wiped out." ”
Zhang Yan plagiarized, his whole body was covered in armor, and with a wave of the big knife in his hand, he laughed and said: "Yuan Xianfu, your father is not enough, you are a white-faced child, what can I do." ”
Yuan Shang was furious, "Pass my order, and the whole army will attack!" ”
The Hebei army was strong and immediately took action. On the battlefield, in the billowing dust and smoke, the Hebei Army rushed towards the Black Mountain Army not far away like a flood.
Yuan Shang took the lead and led 2,000 cavalry to rush forward, and Gao Yuan and his 500 cavalry were also among them. Two thousand cavalry formed a conical formation, and the sharp cavalry spears exuded a penetrating light, like a sharp knife, and the oncoming air flow had been cut.
Zhang Yan's face changed greatly, he had fought against Yuan Jun for many years, and he knew that frontal combat was not Yuan Jun's opponent. So he waved the flag and ordered the whole army to retreat. Suddenly, the Montenegrin army scattered and fled like a frightened flock of chickens, but the direction was surprisingly consistent, entering the mountain.
Yuan Shang was annoyed, "These bandits are like this, if they can't beat them, they will run into the mountain." He finally caught Zhang Yan's main force today, how could he let it go, "Pursue, chase!" ”
Gao Yuan watched Zhang Yan lead the army into the two mountains, the road between the mountains was quite spacious, but there were mountains rising from the ground on the left and right. Zhang Yanjun's rear team turned a corner under a cliff and disappeared, obviously the mountain road was tortuous and long, I don't know how deep.
"Don't chase after the third son, beware of ambushes." Gao Yuan persuaded him.
Yuan Shang was stunned, these days Hebei has spread the name of Gaoyuan, which makes Yuan Shang resist this young man who is younger than himself, not as good as his own family background, but more famous than himself. So deep down, he must not listen to Gao Yuan's words, "Chase it again." ”
He did not give the order to halt the advance, and the army continued to pursue.
After chasing for another two or three miles, the mountain road began to become narrow.
At this time, Gao Ran also said, "Third son, I'm afraid there is an ambush, don't chase anymore!" ”
If there was no kind reminder from Gao Yuan before, perhaps Yuan Shang would have listened to Gao Ran's persuasion. However, with Gao Yuan in front, Yuan Shang thought that Gao Ran was helping Gao Yuan speak. His own general helped an outsider, which made Yuan Shang very angry, and he shouted loudly: "Pursue with all your might, no one can stop without my general order, chase!" ”
Gao Yuan frowned, Yuan Shang's face that only thought he had the ability, he had seen a lot in later generations. Turning around and looking back, the ground between the two mountains was completely filled with the soldiers of the Yuan family, like a fat giant python, shuttling between the gaps with difficulty.
"Wen Yuan, pass on my order to slow down, retreat to the end, and immediately retreat outside the mountain, let the third son of the Yuan family chase after him himself."
Although Gao Yuan conveyed the order, under the effect of the linkage of the large army on the rugged and narrow road, his subordinates could not completely stop.
After estimating the time of half a pillar of incense, Gao Yuan and his men finally retreated to the rear of the army. However, at this time, the entire army also stopped.
"Give me the order and retreat out of the mountain." Gao Yuan, who had an increasingly ominous premonition, gave the order to retreat.
But before he could finish his words, there was an exclamation from ahead. Immediately after, the mountains shook, and the rocks and giant trees on the mountains on both sides fell like a torrent.
Gao Yuan's face changed, "It's not good, there is really an ambush, retreat!" ”
At this moment, in the sound of a bull's horn, a group of men and horses blocked the way to the mountain. The first person is five big and three thick, riding a white horse, and there are five big characters written on the flag behind him, "Black Mountain Zhang Bai Ride", "Where is Gao Mengyan going, let you know the power of our Black Mountain Army today!" ”
Gao Yuan took a red rabbit horse, "Zhang Baiqi, you want to stop me, you are not qualified yet!" ”
He danced the Fang Tian Painting Halberd and led a hundred guards to kill him first. General Zhang Liaoliu followed, and 400 cavalry swarmed up.
At the beginning, Gao Yuan and his subordinates chopped melons and vegetables, and the Black Mountain Army killed was full of blood. Zhang Baiqi, who was killed directly, was pale, and only then did he know the power of Gao Yuanjun.
However, Gao Yuan only had 500 soldiers and horses, and he could not quickly break through the many obstacles of the Montenegrin army.
And the army of the Yuan army was forced by the falling rocks and trees on both sides, and all the soldiers who wanted to survive piled up in the middle, but instead disrupted the high and distant military momentum.
Between the steep mountains on both sides, Gao Yuan and his six generals were in front, and a hundred guards were behind. After that, the rest of his troops had been thrown into chaos by Yuan Junchong. Boulders continued to slide down from the mountains on both sides, which made Yuan's army even more confused.
Zhang Bai rode down the gun and shield array, and laughed: "Gao Mengyan, today you will definitely let you and that Yuan Shang die in this Damao Mountain, release arrows!" ”
The spearmen are the nemesis of the cavalry, and they can't break through the layers of guns laid by the enemy's thousands of people. And in the sky, arrows are already raining down.
"Lord, quickly retreat into the inner army!" Zhang Liao said anxiously.
What's the use of hiding in, the enemy blocked the front and back roads, just a rain of arrows and rolling stones were enough to kill everyone, Gao Yuan and his soldiers and horses, as well as Yuan Jun were in a desperate situation.
However, things suddenly changed, and the shouts of killing sounded in Zhang Baiqi's rear army, followed by his rear army in chaos.
Then he saw a general, riding alone into battle, born mighty and majestic, eight feet long, with a majestic posture, holding a silver spear, riding a white horse. Wherever he passed, the soldiers of the Black Mountain Army fell to the ground one after another, and one person smashed in front of Zhang Baiqi from the rear.
The silver spear in the hand of the person connected the dots, Zhang Baiqi had no chance to fight back, a little blood burst out on his chest, and he fell from his horse with a scream.
Things took a 180-degree turn, and everyone was stunned. And Gao Yuan's heart moved, and he shouted: "Who is here?" ”
The people came with white horses, and the majestic war horses stood up, and the surrounding Black Mountain troops retreated in shock. The person who came suddenly became empty, and the silver spear in his hand was unfurled, and he replied loudly: "I am Changshan Zhao Zilong!" ”
