In the distant forest, the sky was full of smoke and dust, and in the billowing smoke and dust, countless ink-colored battle flags fluttered and fluttered, and at a glance, it seemed as if an army of tens of thousands of people had suddenly appeared there.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Yun and Yu Poison and Guan Hai on the side glanced at each other, and their faces couldn't help but show a look of consternation.

The feather forest guard at the head of the city saw a large army appear in the forest in the distance, and he was only shocked, but he did not panic. But the Montenegrin army outside the city, seeing from a distance that there was an unknown number of Luoyang troops in the west, was already in a panic at this time.

A Montenegrin soldier quickly ran to the commander of the Chinese army, and when he arrived in front of Zhang Yan, the Montenegrin army was half-kneeling on the ground, pointing to the west in a panic, and shouted to Zhang Yan because he was too nervous and frightened...... Ditch...... Qu Shuai! The Luoyang Army was found in the west, and I saw countless battle flags, but I don't know how many people there were! ”

Du Chang died, the siege had failed, and Zhang Yan, who was thinking about how to withdraw, heard that the Luoyang army had appeared in the west again, and he was suddenly shocked in his heart, and hurriedly turned his head to look west.

At this look, he couldn't help but gasp.

The smoke and dust rolled up high in the west can be seen from afar. Although it was impossible to see what was embroidered on the army's banner due to the distance, the ink-colored flags were extremely eye-catching.

As a result, the road to the west has been blocked by the Luoyang army, and the main force of Liu Wei's Luoyang army and Handan City are intercepted on the north and south sides, and the only thing that can allow them to leave is the east.

Being surrounded on three sides, one more day of delay outside Handan City will increase the risk of being completely wiped out! Once the east is also outflanked by the Luoyang army, this siege battle will become a war of annihilation launched by the Luoyang army against the Montenegrin army from the outside in.

Looking at the smoke and dust in the west and the flying battle flags, Zhang Yan shouted to the Montenegrin army kneeling in front of him: "Quick! Chuan Ben Qu Shuai ordered, all departments to prepare troops and horses, and evacuate to the east! ”

Hearing that Zhang Yan ordered the whole army to retreat to the east, the soldiers who reported the news hurriedly answered, stood up and ran quickly.

Outside Handan City, the Montenegrin army had already fought until it was physically and mentally exhausted and unwilling to fight again. When you know you're going to retreat, how can you stay here a little longer?

After a while, the Montenegrin army outside the city couldn't wait to line up, and they would evacuate this ominous place just after Zhang Yan's order.

Turned over and jumped on the war horse led by the soldiers, rode on horseback, and glanced at the station of Wang Dangbu, who was ordered to block Liu Wei, Zhang Yan clamped his legs on the horse's belly, shook off the reins, and shouted behind him: "Withdraw!" ”

With his order, hundreds of thousands of Black Mountain troops rushed towards the east like a tide, chaotic and disorderly.

When retreating, the Montenegrin army had no discipline at all. People pushed each other, the strong knocked the weak ones to the ground, but they didn't help them at all, everyone only cared about their own lives, where would they care about the life and death of Tongze, who had fought side by side!

Looking at this army from a distance, it doesn't feel like a large army that has been fighting on the battlefield all year round, but it feels like they are just a group of chaotic people who temporarily take up weapons to resist the official army.

Wang Dang's army was stationed a little further southeast. If Zhang Yan led the army and quietly withdrew from the west, perhaps Wang Dang would not be able to find out for a while.

But hundreds of thousands of Montenegrin troops withdrew from the east, and it was impossible to avoid Wang Dang's eyes and ears.

Standing in the camp, looking at the Luoyang army array that was confronting them, a soldier of the Montenegrin Army quickly ran behind Wang Dang, clasped his fists and bowed to him and said, "General Qiqi, the main force of our army is withdrawing eastward!" ”

Being sent by Zhang Yan here to intercept the Luoyang army was just a day ago, Wang Dang didn't expect that Zhang Yan would rebel so quickly and leave them here, but he led the army to withdraw.

"What?" Hearing that the army had withdrawn, Wang Beware was shocked, hurriedly turned around, grabbed the collar of the soldier who reported the news, widened his eyes, and shouted to him: "If you dare to disturb the morale of the army, this general will behead you!" ”

"The villain doesn't dare!" The collar was grabbed by Wang Dang, and the soldier stood on tiptoe on his neck, his feet barely touching the ground, and his lips were trembling, and he raised his arm and pointed behind him, and said to Wang Dang: "If the general doesn't believe it, just take a look!" ”

The general glared at the soldier suspiciously, and Wang Dang let go of his hand by the collar and stretched out his head to look in the direction of Handan City.

Following the direction of the soldier's finger, Wang Dang really saw that the Black Mountain Army, which was only a few hundred steps away from them, and the black pressure was endless, and it was quickly evacuating from the periphery of Handan City, and was rushing towards the east.

Seeing this scene, Wang Dang immediately understood that the reason why Zhang Yan left them here was to abandon them to ensure that the army was safe behind when they withdrew.

"Phew!" spat on the ground, Wang Dang scolded: "Damn, Zhang Yan is a thief, he actually thought of leaving a long time ago, and left me here to cut off for him!" ”

"General, what should I do?" Before Wang could curse with a word, an officer of the Black Mountain Army behind him raised his hand and pointed at the Luoyang Army and shouted to him: "The Luoyang Army is moving!" ”

Hearing the officer's shout, Wang Dang suddenly turned around and looked towards the Luoyang army array.

In the large array of the Luoyang army, seeing the Black Mountain Army surging eastward like a tide from a distance, Liu Wei raised an arm with a cold face and expressionlessness.

When he raised his arm, all the crossbowmen in the large array took off the strong crossbows they were carrying behind them, and turned their faces to him, their eyes staring at his raised arm without blinking.

His arm hovered in mid-air, and after a long while, Liu Wei's palm swung forward.

Seeing his palms swinging, the Luoyang army general who commanded the crossbow array shouted: "Crossbowmen array!" ”

With the shout of the general, more than 10,000 Luoyang army crossbowmen strode forward in unison, walked out of the big array, lined up in a neat phalanx, and advanced towards the Montenegrin army opposite.

Looking at the Luoyang Army's crossbow array that was advancing towards them, Wang Dang also shouted behind him: "Archer!" Archers face off! ”

Zhang Yan led the army to withdraw, and the Montenegrin army under Wang Dang had long lost the will to fight, hearing Wang Dang's shout, the archers in the army crowded one by one, looking at each other, but no one was willing to take half a step forward.

"Archer!" After shouting twice, but not seeing the archers advancing forward, Wang Dang suddenly turned his head, glared at the array of archers in the army, and scolded: "Are you deaf?" Didn't you hear General Ben say that he was going to fight? ”

"General!" Before Wang Dang's words fell, an officer of the Black Mountain Army beside him lowered his voice and said to him: "Qu Shuai has withdrawn, if our army stays here......"

"Don't you know?" Without waiting for the officer to finish speaking, Wang Dang glared at him fiercely, gritted his teeth and said: "Zhang Yan is leaving, leaving us to the Luoyang army, if we also withdraw at this time, once the Luoyang army cavalry rushes up, you and I will become ghosts under their swords!" ”

"Archer!" After yelling at the officer, Wang Dang turned his head again and shouted to the archers of the Black Mountain Army who were afraid to step forward: "Advance immediately, and the cowardly will be killed!" ”

was roared by the king, and nearly 20,000 archers of the Montenegrin Army slowly advanced towards the crossbowmen of the Luoyang Army.

The archers of the Montenegrin army were completely undisciplined as they advanced, they were scattered like a group of outcasts, and many of them were even looking left and right as they advanced, looking for an opportunity to escape.

The Luoyang Army's crossbow array, which had advanced one step ahead of them, had arrived at its predetermined position at this time. The general commanding the crossbow array drew his sword from his waist, raised it high, and shouted: "Wound the crossbow arrows!" ”

More than 10,000 Luoyang army crossbowmen stopped in unison, and at the moment of stopping, their right leg was raised high and stomped violently towards the ground.

"Boom!" More than 10,000 feet stepped on the ground, and with a puff of smoke and dust, the ground made a roar, and even the Black Mountain Army nearly a hundred steps away on the opposite side seemed to feel that the earth was trembling with their stamping.

Standing still, the Luoyang army crossbowmen put their feather arrows on the crossbows, and after the first row of crossbowmen buckled the feather arrows, they raised the crossbows flat and aimed at the Montenegrin army on the opposite side. Clusters of sharp arrows, glittering in the sun, pointed at the archers of the Black Mountain Army who advanced from the Luoyang Army's large array.

The bow and arrow were originally much closer than the crossbow arrows, and the crossbowmen of the Luoyang Army were one step ahead of the array, and when they lined up the crossbow array, they were already aiming at the Black Mountain Army, but the archers of the Black Mountain Army were still slowly advancing.

"Shoot the arrows!" Leading the crossbowmen to advance to the predetermined position, the general in charge of directing the crossbow array raised his long sword high, slashed into the void below, and gave the order to release the arrow in a loud voice.

As soon as the general's shout fell, the first row of crossbowmen immediately pulled off the strong crossbow springs, and then crouched on the ground, and the second row of crossbowmen immediately pulled the springs.

With the soft sound of the machine spring, countless crossbow arrows flew like raindrops towards the archers of the Black Mountain Army who were slowly marching.

Archers are the lightest equipped troops in the army, except for the crossbowmen of the Luoyang Army, who are equipped with round shields and long swords, almost all the archers of the official army in various places will not issue shields. The archers of the Montenegrin army were even worse equipped than ordinary officers and soldiers, and the crossbow arrows of the Luoyang army flew towards them, and they were like living targets, and they were shot over in an instant.

"Rush!" The officer commanding the archers of the Black Mountain Army saw his companions fall one by one, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious in his heart, he pointed his long sword forward, shouted, and rushed forward at the first speed.

The archers of the Montenegrin Army knew that if they retreated at this time, they would definitely be slaughtered by the king behind them, and if they advanced slowly, they could only become the target of the Luoyang Army's crossbow array, and sooner or later they would die under the crossbow arrows shot by the Luoyang Army. In desperation, the archers of the Montenegrin Army could only follow the officer and rush forward at an accelerated pace.

Seeing the archers of the Black Mountain Army charging and the Luoyang Army in the big formation, the corners of Liu Wei's mouth finally led to a faint smile.

He raised his arm again and swung it behind him. More than 10,000 cavalrymen who had just been transferred from Luoyang immediately took off the round shield from behind them, clutched the Pu knife in their hands one by one, and looked at the archers of the Black Mountain Army who were running quickly within the range of the bow and arrow.

Due to the need to advance within the range of the bow and arrows, the archers of the Montenegrin army braved the oncoming rain of arrows and ran wildly, and before they knew it, they had run past the tripping ropes and horse rejection stakes arranged in front of the formation.

Just when they braved the rain of arrows and paid a heavy price, and were about to run to the position where the range of arrows could reach the array of the Luoyang Army, in the large array of the Luoyang Army, there was a sudden sound of snorting, and with the sound of the swords, countless heavily armored cavalry rushed out of the Luoyang Army array, like a row of huge waves towards the archers of the Black Mountain Army.

The heavy horse's hooves stepped on the ground, raising the dust high, and the heavy cavalry of the Luoyang Army waved the Pu knife in their hands, stared at each other, let out a majestic shout, and rushed towards the archers of the Black Mountain Army who had been far away from the protection of the tripping rope and the horse rejection stake.
