In May, when the messengers of Sun Ce, Cao Cao, and Liu Qi in the south frequently went forward and planned to join forces to resist Luo Zheng, Luo Zheng and rode an army of nearly 200,000 people to Youzhou, preparing to completely sweep Hebei and unify the north with the momentum of ploughing and sweeping the caves.

This time the troops were sent to Hebei, and the 100,000 elites of the Chang'an battalion did not move.

Luo Zheng only brought 30,000 cavalry, requisitioned 50,000 Tuntian soldiers in Hetao, and when attacking Jizhou, Gao Shun and Zhang Xiu led a small number of soldiers and horses to attack on three sides, and hundreds of thousands of Tuntian soldiers in the Central Plains did not move on a large scale.

Even so, the number of soldiers and horses participating in the Battle of Hebei exceeded 100,000.

Coupled with the 100,000 Montenegrin troops forced to surrender, the total strength has exceeded more than 200,000, which can be described as huge.

After Yuan Shang was captured, Gao Shun led his army back to the Central Plains to prevent Cao Apo from taking advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos.

In the middle of May, Yan Xing, the commander of the Western Qian, led 8,000 vanguard iron cavalry north to Fanyang first, and after the raid failed, he set up camp ten miles west of Fanyang, waiting for the arrival of the Luo Zheng army, and Fan Yang Shou sent three urgent documents in one day to ask Yuan Xi for help.

Ten days later, Luo Zhengqin led a large army to besiege Fanyang.

Nearly 200,000 troops camped west of Fanyang, dozens of miles of joint camp, and before they raised troops to attack the city, they had already caused unparalleled pressure on the defenders of Fanyang.

The 8,000 defenders had no fighting spirit, and there were already signs of instability in the barracks.

The next day, Luo Zheng waved his army to attack the city.

In the desolate sound of bull horns and earth-shattering war drums, a group of foot soldiers surged out of the camp and lined up outside the west gate of Fanyang, but the army was assembled. Half a day passed, from morning to noon.

Nearly 200,000 troops were encamped. It's not 30,000 or 20,000 troops, and just camping is a trouble.

The distance between the front camp and the rear camp is even more than dozens of miles. The build-up of troops is a big problem.

Now only the Montenegrin army is assembled, and the rest of the army is still holding on to the camp and has not been assembled.

And such a long time to assemble and array, but it has caused huge psychological pressure on the Youzhou defenders in Fanyang City, and they watched with a group of foot soldiers rushing to the outside of the city to assemble and array, and it lasted for such a long time, can the defenders of Fanyang, who have long been without the heart of war, not panic, not abandon the city and flee is already very good.

At noon, the 100,000 Montenegrin army was finally assembled.

When the earth-shattering war drums rushed into the sky behind. The siege horn sounded at last.

Zhang Yan was dressed in a military uniform, and glanced back at the Phnom Penh Wang Banner with the word 'Luo' fluttering in the wind, and his eyes couldn't help but pass a touch of fierceness, the Qianwang is not Yuan Shao, although this guy is a little cruel, but he has nothing to say to his loyal subordinates, and it is definitely worthy of the Montenegrin Army's refuge and service, and the Montenegrin Army wants to gain a firm foothold in the Qianjun Army and make a name for the brothers. It is necessary to shed blood and even fight with his life, Zhang Yan has long understood this and is mentally prepared.

There is no vain merit or fame of officers and soldiers in the world. It was also exchanged for blood and sweat on the battlefield.

As a lone army, the Montenegrin Army will naturally be no exception.

Zhang Yan is not afraid of the blood and sacrifice of the brothers, but the blood of the brothers is in vain.

When he used to be under Yuan Shao. was once squeezed out by the Jizhou Army and needed to attack the fortifications. It has always been the Montenegrin army fighting in formation, and when it comes to sharing the credit. However, the Montenegrin army was behind the Jizhou army, which made the brothers very dissatisfied.

After Yuan Shao's death, the Yuan brothers attacked each other, and the Montenegrin Army became the queen mother.

Zhang Yan couldn't bear it anymore, so he ran back to Taihang Mountain with 100,000 brothers to continue to be the king of the mountain.

The strict military rules of the cadres should be the first in the world, the rewards and punishments are extremely clear, and the encroachment on military merits is a major crime of the nine clans.

Of course, these are only superficial things.

Whether or not the Montenegrin Army will be squeezed out by the inherent system of the cadre army will not be known until the end of the war.

Zhang Yan's mind flashed through these thoughts, and he immediately waved his hand and ordered the siege of the city, and the 100,000 Black Mountain Army was divided into five groups, each with 20,000 people, and launched an overwhelming attack on Fan Yang in turn.

The appearance of the defenders of Fanyang is contemptible, and the will to resist is extremely fragile.

It didn't even hold for a day, just before the sun set, the first group of siege troops withdrew to rest, and when the second group of troops were ready to continue the attack, the general flag at the head of Fanyang City was lowered and the white flag was hung.

After Zhang Yan surrendered, he immediately ordered the army to enter the city to take over the city defense.

Rear army, under the king's banner.

"Lord!"

Yan Xing couldn't help but said, "Do you want to order the Black Mountain Army to withdraw, and the last general will take over the city defense?" ”

Luo Zheng waved his hand, "No, I believe that Zhang Yan won't do stupid things!" ”

Yan Xing didn't say it anymore, but he didn't trust these capricious thieves very much in his heart.

Fan Yang is down, and the gateway to Youzhou is open.

Luo Zheng gave full play to the huge advantage in troops, divided his troops into four directions, attacked Zhuo County, Dai County, Shanggu and other counties, and ordered Yan Xing to lead 20,000 cavalry to kill Benji County in the starry night, in case Yuan Xi saw that the situation was not good and took the opportunity to escape.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Xi had not planted it than he imagined, and Yan Xing's army had just arrived in Jixian County, so this guy led 8,000 cavalry to protect his family and rushed out of Jixian County, preparing to go to Liaodong to join Sun Kang, the Taishou Gonggong of Liaodong.

Yan Xing would not give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and immediately lead the army to follow and kill.

Yuan Xi was defeated in several battles, 8,000 cavalry died and fled, and even his family was captured by the cadres, and when he got rid of Yan Xing's pursuers, there were only dozens of horsemen left around him, and he did not dare to enter the city, so he fled to Liaodong.

Yan Xing gathered his soldiers and horses and returned to Jixian County, and at the same time sent his horses to report to Luo Zheng to Fanyang.

Liaodong is too far away, and the lone army can't go deep into the grain and grass to help, and the army will be in danger of collapse at any time.

The 20,000 cavalry was only the vanguard, and they did not carry much grain and baggage, so they had to withdraw to Jixian within two days.

When camping in the evening, a small colonel came to Yan Xing's military tent and leaned in front of Yan Xing to whisper a few words in his ear.

"How daring!"

Yan Xing said angrily when he heard this: "The law of the lord army is like a mountain, is your kid afraid that his life is long?" ”

"General, that little lady is so beautiful!"

Xiao Xiao said repeatedly: "The villain is so big, I have never seen such a beautiful woman." The villain has already asked, the little lady is Yuan Xi's wife, if the general is not interested, he might as well offer it to the lord. ”

Yan Xing's expression was moved when he heard this, the military rules of the cadre army are strict, you can't touch women in wartime, this is an iron law, no matter who dares to offend, you will never be spared, Yan Xing has no shortage of women, so naturally he will not joke with his ass.

However, if that woman really has the heavenly fragrance and national color that this kid said, it would be good to dedicate it to the lord.

It's just that it's a time of war, and offering a beautiful woman to the lord at this time is afraid that it will attract a reprimand.

Moreover, I haven't seen what that woman looks like, so I have to go and see it first.

Yan Xing changed his mind and ordered, "Go, bring that little lady up." ”

"Yes!"

The colonel said yes and immediately ran out. (To be continued......) R1292
