Just looking at the neat and solemn military formation on the opposite side, as well as Lu Yi's retreat to the formation, Zhang Yan knew in his heart that this battle was no longer able to fight.

Especially in the Chinese army of Lu Yi, the front row is a foot soldier holding a big shield, and behind the big shield, there are rows of crossbowmen with strong crossbows.

Fortunately, he doesn't need to be tough, the military order given to him by the lord Lu Bu is to come to Yecheng, and when he encounters the Jizhou army, if he can fight, he will fight, and if he can't, he will retreat.

Now, he has killed Gao Ran, defeated Gao Lan's 3,000 soldiers and horses, and has already made military achievements, which can be said to have completed the task assigned to him by the lord Lu Bu in advance, and there is no need to fight against Lu Yi's 3,000 soldiers and horses at this time.

However, Zhang Yan didn't want to withdraw his troops so quickly, stared closely at the enemy army on the opposite side who was advancing step by step, and silently estimated the distance, and when he reached a distance of about one hundred and twenty steps, Zhang Yan waved his iron long stick and ordered loudly: "Shoot!" ”

Sneering loudly, after the brilliant results of the actual combat tempering, although the kung fu of the five hundred crossbowmen has not improved much, but in terms of psychological quality, it has greatly improved, even at this moment Zhang Yan gave an order, the first wave of one hundred and fifty people salvo is much more neat than Fang Cai.

There is no need to look at it, Zhang Yan knows that the Lu Yi on the opposite side, as well as the large wave of real crossbowmen elite under his command, must have laughed off his big teeth in his heart at this moment.

Crossbowmen are easier to practice than archers, but because they want to exert the maximum power of crossbows, they can only fire salvos when the enemy army enters within 100 paces.

Therefore, when choosing a crossbowman, in addition to arm strength, waist strength, and leg strength should be strong. In addition to the sharp eyes, the most important thing is actually the psychological quality, the strong psychological quality that is calm and unhurried in front of the two armies.

Like Zhang Yan, at a distance of one hundred and twenty paces, he ordered the crossbowmen to fire a salvo, although the crossbow arrows sneered, they did not lose in momentum, but they actually had lethality. will be limited.

What's more, in the front row of the Chinese army of Lu Yi, there are shield soldiers, holding shields in both hands, and they are more than one person tall. It is perfectly possible to block a strong crossbow arrow fired from a flat shot, but for an archer. Protection is very limited.

But the next scene. But to Lu Yi's surprise, when the crossbow arrow arrived, just by the sound of the crossbow arrow nailed to the shield, he instantly judged that Zhang Yan's black mountain thief was holding a strong crossbow, and the range was even stronger than that of his soldiers. It should be at least two or three percent stronger.

What does this mean, it shows that this kind of strong crossbow is specially improved, if only a few can be captured. Handed over to the craftsman to disassemble and study, as long as the range of the strong crossbow is increased by two percent, the total combat power will be a considerable increase.

Thinking like this, the second wave of crossbow arrows had arrived, and then the third, but with the shield soldiers in front, the three waves of crossbow arrows, although at a distance of a hundred paces, the crossbow arrows were still strong and powerful, but still did not cause any damage.

Lu Yi held his horse high, his eyes were like lightning, and he only needed to let him approach another thirty steps, and he could cover the killing.

But at this moment, he clearly heard Zhang Yan on the other side shouting: "The wind is tight, pull it!" ”

"The wind is tight? ? ”

Lu Yi was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what this meant, only to see the black mountain thief on the opposite side, at this time, he turned around in such a noisy manner, his ass was towards him, and he ran away.

"Your mother's grandmother, just shoot three arrows and run?!"

Lu Yi was furious, so that the two armies fought, and before they could fight, the other party ran away, making him feel greatly insulted by Zhang Yan, and roared angrily: "Kill!" ”

However, no matter how angry he was, his subordinates were all foot soldiers, even if he and dozens of guards rode horses, it would be impossible for him and his guards to chase and kill, and there was a tragedy in front of Gao Lan, and he didn't dare to take risks alone.

And it is impossible for him to be like the Black Mountain thief, who doesn't even care about any military formation when he escapes, just runs forward with his head bored, and maintains the order of the military formation, so it is even more difficult to catch up.

Seeing that although the Black Mountain Thieves were defeated, the distance between them and the army was actually widening little by little, Lu Yi was angry, angry and anxious in his heart, and he could chase Li Xu, and found that if he continued to chase like this, the Black Mountain Thieves could flee to Hanling Mountain, which was more than ten miles away from Yecheng, and they were still unscathed.

With a ruthless heart, the iron spear of Lu Yi pointed at it, and ordered loudly: "Chase and kill quickly!" ”

Extremely fast pursuit means that the main purpose is to kill and injure the enemy army, and as for the formation, of course, there is no need to maintain it.

At the sound of an order, the shield soldiers stopped first, they did not have any other blades except the big shield of both hands, this is to make them understand that the big shield is everything to them, with the big shield, he can save his own life, and he can save the life of his companions, and if the big shield is gone, his life will also be gone.

At this time, the pursuit is the first, they are holding big shields, they can't run at all, and it's useless to catch up, so they just stay in place and stand by.

The 800 crossbowmen who followed, as well as the spearmen and halberdiers on both wings, each shouted, gave up their formation, and pursued them in a swarm with Wush as a group.

The black mountain thieves did not flee upstream along the Zhangshui, but fled along the post road and in the direction of Dangyin, why did they flee like this, Lu Yi's heart flashed with many doubts, but in the end, he was overwhelmed by the idea of seizing a few strong crossbows, and the soldiers chased after him.

"Maybe Zhang Yan wants to escape to Hanling Mountain."

Hanling Mountain, it is the junction of Wei County and Hanoi County, the mountain is not very high, but there are peaks, valleys and water, Lu Yi is in his heart, convincing himself for this reason, ignoring another doubt, that is, Zhang Yan, the Black Mountain thief army, has always been short of food and clothing, such a powerful crossbow, they can never make it, so, where did it come from?

In addition to Hanoi being too guarded by Zhang Yang, Lu Yi did not come up with a second candidate, and Zhang Yang connived at the Black Mountain thieves to come to Yecheng to make trouble, which was also in his interests.

Along the way, Lu Yi was thinking like this, while leading the big army to chase after him, and the distance between him and the Black Mountain thieves had been kept around Lixu, neither shortened nor widened.

In front of Hanling Mountain, there is a small pass, the name of the Wild Horse Pass, which is the first pass from Hanoi to Wei County, and the place to hold is not so dangerous, but just stuck in the traffic artery.

There are only 100 soldiers guarding the pass, the symbolic meaning is greater than the practical significance, Zhang Yan led the black mountain thieves, bypassed in front of the Wild Horse Pass, and went straight to Hanling Mountain after the Wild Horse Pass.

Lu Yi didn't think it was a deception, and he didn't expect the hundred defenders of Mustang Pass to do anything, and at the moment he also led the army to go around the pass and continue to chase and kill.

It's just that as soon as he bypassed the Mustang Pass, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, how could it be so big and there was a faint sound of muffled thunder in a sunny sky.

"Cavalry, cavalry!"

Hearing someone shouting like this, Lu Yi hadn't turned his head to look at the past, and his heart was already sinking.

"Oops, ambushed!"

His reaction was very fast, the first thought, it was in line with the actual situation, when he turned his head to look, his heart was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, only to see from the valley behind the wild horse pass, galloping out of a fine horse, the flag fluttering, the formation of the charge was neat and solemn, the leading knight was tall and mighty, under the crotch was a dark red horse, wearing a big red horse, galloping, the big horse was raised in the wind, very pulling the wind.

Behind him, followed by a big flag, with a big "Lu" written on it.

Lu Bu?!

Lu Yile stopped the war horse, immediately understood, and shouted sharply: "Formation, formation, formation!" ”

However, Rao is the first battalion under his command is well-trained and battle-hardened, and at this time, it suddenly suffered such a big change, and it was also a mess for a while.

Behind them, in addition to the elite cavalry led by Lu Bu to attack and kill, in front of them, the black mountain thieves who had fled all over the mountains and wilderness were also like drinking chicken blood at this time, and they did not feel tired at all.

In an ambush, the infantry against the cavalry, but also by the front and back, but also in the number of absolute disadvantage, no matter how loud Lu Yi roared, the soldiers under his command were still terrified, and when they acted, they were not at all ordinary and capable.

The sound of horses' hooves rumbled, and Lu Yi stared at Lu Bu at the front of the elite cavalry torrent, shouting and shouting, driving his soldiers to form a formation, but in his heart, it was a stormy sea.

The lord Yuan Shao was not in Yecheng at this time, but went to Julu, ready to defeat the attacking Gongsun Zan in one fell swoop, and the soldiers and horses gathered in Julu were all the elite soldiers under the original account of the lord Yuan Shao, and he was not ready to use the Jizhou army obtained from Han Fu.

This thought, Lu Yi understands in his heart, the lord Yuan Shao is going to show a group of old ministers in Jizhou, and when he defeats Gongsun Zhan's invading army in one fell swoop, it means to announce to them: Look, Han Fu, the Jizhou pastor, can't do it, I, Yuan Shao, Bohai Taishou, can do what Han Fu can't do with only the soldiers and horses of one county.

What is this idea, Lu Yi is now a subordinate under the lord's account, even if he feels a little strange in his heart, he will definitely not show it in his face, he thinks of these at this time, in fact, because he knows that the reason why the lord Yuan Shao dared to leave Yecheng and go to Julu was to learn that after supporting King Hongnong to ascend the throne, Mu Lu Bu led a large army to Hedong.

With this move, all the strategists around the lord Yuan Shao confidently guessed that Lu Bu was going to take Hedong first, and then try to subdue Huangfu Song, who was entrenched in the pass, and then let the saint move to Chang'an.

Otherwise, Jinyang has no palace and no temple, how can it be used as a holy station.

And with Huangfu Song's loyalty to the Han family, the saint has died, and the Hongnong King, who originally thought he had died, suddenly appeared in Jinyang, as long as he confirmed that this Hongnong King was the real Hongnong King, he led the army to greet him, and there was almost no big problem.

But now, Lu Bu suddenly appeared here and appeared in Yecheng.

This can only show one point, that is, what Lu Bu is playing is a trick of attacking the east and attacking the west, the Hedong army is just carrying his banner, and he himself quietly led the army south, first subduing the Black Mountain thieves, and then using the Black Mountain thieves as the vanguard, forcing Yecheng.

Here, it is a trap set by him and the Black Mountain thief Zhang Yan, just waiting for the Jizhou army to jump down, either he is righteous or Gao Ran. (To be continued......)
