When the sky was about to be bright, Chaoge County became lively, and the people in the city began to be woken up, and began to follow the army out of the city to Huguan in Shangdang County, among which there were Jia Xu, Lu Su, Bai Tong, Zhang Rui and Zhang Miao and others.

Zhang Chao did not accompany him, he stayed with Zhao Yun and other generals. Along with it were nearly 100 cartloads of property that were targeted by the Montenegrin army.

"My lord, they won't be in danger." Seeing that Jia Xu and the others were leaving, Zhao Yun asked Zhang Chao with a concerned face.

"No, the Montenegrin Army is staring at our finances and is not interested in these people." Zhang Chao said very firmly. Huang Zhong said before that because of the large number of people in the Montenegrin Army, there has not been enough food to eat, and these ordinary people have no meaning to them at all. That's why he put these people on the road. Having said that, there are also Zhang Rui and more than a thousand infantry brought out from Chen Liu, but the problem of small fights should not be very big.

"That's good. My lord, have we really decided to fight the Montenegrin army here? When he said this, Zhao Yun's eyes were shining again.

"Of course, we have killed so many brothers of the Zhang family army and the brothers of the Dragon and Tiger Army in this battle, and we must pay for the debt with blood." Zhang Chao replied in an extremely affirmative tone. I was also thinking in my heart, "Black Mountain Army, I hope you don't let me down, just let the horse come." ”

...... ......

Yu Poison was defeated in the first battle, and was frightened by the appearance of Huang Zhong with 5,000 cavalry, and fled in a hurry, and after coming to a safe place to assemble, he found that there were only more than 10,000 people who escaped with him. In this battle, Li Damu and Yang Feng and other generals were lost, not to mention, and nearly 20,000 soldiers were also lost.

This result made Yu Poison very depressed, he knew that Zhang Yan would definitely ask the teacher for his guilt through this matter.

In the Montenegrin Army, Yu Poison is not favored by Zhang Yan, because he usually acts flamboyantly, and he is not afraid of the sky, and his relationship with Zhang Yan is not good. Now that he has been hit hard, the other party is afraid that he will suppress him.

Yu Poison knew what the consequences would be, but he still had to go back. Fortunately, he brought back 10,000 soldiers, and among the generals of the Montenegrin army, there were people who had a good relationship with him, so they would definitely speak for him.

Yu Xuan, who was a little depressed, returned to the general camp of the Black Mountain Army, and as soon as he entered the cave, he saw Zhang Yan and others sitting together, looking like they were going to ask for guilt.

Yu Xuan, who had been prepared for a long time, was not afraid, approached generously, and found his place to sit down. At this time, Zhang Yan's voice also sounded, "General Yu, what is the result of this battle?" ”

"Not good." Yu Poison did not answer directly, but wanted to mix up the past in an understated way.

It's just that at this moment, Zhang Yanchan didn't let him go, but said loudly: "It's not good, what is it?" Don't you want to give everyone an explanation? took away 30,000 people, only brought back more than 10,000 people, and the two generals Li Damu and Yang Feng also died in battle, doesn't this have anything to do with you? ”

As soon as he talked about the deaths of Li Damu and Yang Feng, Zhang Yan's tone became very cold, obviously there was a ball of anger in his chest.

Yu Poison had long thought that there would be such a scene, and immediately stood without fear and said, "Is this to blame others?" If it weren't for the incompetence of Li Damu and Yang Feng, who let Zhang Chao lead people out of the city, then I would have destroyed the dragon and tiger army named Zhao Yun and him a long time ago. In other words, it was their fault that disrupted my whole plan. ”

If you want to say that what Yu Poison said, it can be regarded as the truth. If these two people can entangle Zhang Chao, then he will destroy Zhao Yun first, and then join forces in one place, and Zhang Chao in the city will be dangerous at that time. But these two people carelessly underestimated the enemy, which led to the defeat of the battle and the defeat of the entire army.

Yu Poison is full of words, and he has no intention of admitting his mistake, which makes Zhang Yan even more angry.

Originally, I thought that if this battle was lost, Yu Poison would realize his mistake and take the initiative to move closer to himself and listen to his own words, but now it seems that this person still does not obey discipline, even so, Zhang Yan decided to make a good article on this matter.

"Report!" Before Zhang Yan could say anything, the sound of a scout sounded outside the door.

"Come in." Suppressing her anger, Zhang Yan still let the scout in, wanting to see if something had happened again.

"Report to the general. There was movement in Chaoge, and the people had already left the city. It's just that nearly 100 truckloads of property are still in the county government, Li San reported, and at the same time, there are thousands of soldiers such as Zhang Chao. The scout knelt and said, then turned and walked out.

"Zhang Chao is still not leaving?" Listening to this battle report, Zhang Yan was really a little confused.

"Naturally, I won't go." However, after Yu Poison heard this information, a smile appeared on his face and said: "In yesterday's battle, although our army suffered heavy losses, he was not much better, and he was also a lost soldier, I am afraid that he is recuperating now." That is to say, if the property is not lost, I will ask for war and go to Chaoge County. ”

Yu Poison knew that this was a good opportunity for him to make meritorious contributions and atone for his sins. As long as he can kill Zhang Chao in a battle and take over the finances, Zhang Yan will not be able to say anything about himself at that time.

And after saying these words, Yu Poison also looked at Bai Huan on the side. To say that the relationship between the two of them is the best in the Montenegrin army, and at the same time, this person also has good strength.

Bai Huan has been paying attention to his friend Yu Poison for a long time, and he is still thinking about standing up and speaking for his friend at a critical time. Now when he saw the other party's gaze towards him, he grinned happily: "Yu Poison, do you really want to fight?" ”

"Not bad. Last night's battle had already dealt a heavy blow to Zhang Chao's department, and now all he could fight there was only 5,000 reinforcements sent by the First Army. I believe that as long as we have enough troops and fast soldiers, it is still possible to defeat them. Yu Poison said very confidently.

Listening to Yu Poison's words, Bai Huan also stood up from the ground and said, "Not bad." The terrible thing about the first army is that most of them are cavalry, and they are very mobile. But now their advantage is gone, and for the sake of a hundred carts of property, it is absolutely impossible for them to walk as they did before. Even so, how can we be afraid of siege warfare? In this way, I support you, and I will send 20,000 soldiers and horses from my headquarters. ”

Bai Huan is also very powerful in the Black Mountain Army, there are 50,000 people under him alone, and this time he sent 20,000 troops, showing his firm determination.

"Brother Bai, I didn't mess with your friend, even if this is the case, I also sent 20,000 troops in my headquarters to make up 30,000. With 50,000 against 5,000, it should be a steady victory. Yu Poison said confidently at this moment. After finishing speaking, he also threw a demonstrative look at Zhang Yan.

Yu Poison also has 50,000 horses in the headquarters. Yesterday he went to 20,000 in the first battle and came back 10,000, and now he has sent 20,000, and there are only 10,000 of his soldiers and horses left.

Even if he only sent out the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, Zhang Yan couldn't say anything. The Montenegrin Army originally had a rule, as long as you don't borrow other people's soldiers and horses, what you want to do with your own troops, you just need to say it, and you don't need to get everyone's consent.

Originally, the contact with the First Army sitting on the side made Zhou Cang still want to speak out against it, in his opinion, before figuring out what the relationship between Zhang Chao and the First Regiment is, it is best to be cautious in sending troops, but even if the two generals want to send troops and horses, he can only suppress his doubts in his heart.

Zhang Yan is also not good at saying anything, Yu Poison obviously wants to use victory to gag his mouth, even so, he uses the soldiers and horses of his headquarters, so he can only be silent and wait and see what happens.

Yu Poison and Bai Huan left the table at the same time and began to mobilize troops and horses. In Chaoge County, the people also walked a fine light, and even the people in this county followed those homeless people towards Huguan because they knew that the war was coming. In the entire city, only the 1,000 light cavalry of the Zhang family army around Zhang Chao and the 5,000 cavalry reinforcements brought by Huang Zhong remained.

In the largest square in Chaoge Prefecture. The bodies of all the dead brothers of the Zhang Jiajun and the Dragon and Tiger Army brothers were carried together. Beside them were piles of flammable wood.

"Brothers, you will not die in vain, your sacrifice is worthwhile and will be recorded in history. Your family will be our family in the future, as long as I, Zhang Chao, are still alive for a day, I will support them forever, until they are old-fashioned, and you can rest in peace. Zhang Chao, dressed in white clothes and white cloak, shouted these words loudly in front of all the Zhang Jiajun brothers, the two hundred Dragon and Tiger Army brothers, and the light cavalry of the 5,001st Army, and then threw the torch in his hand forward, and the raging fire burned.

This is after every war, Zhang Chao's department must carry out a mourning ceremony. Facts have also proved that this method can better unite people's hearts, boost morale, and enhance the determination of soldiers to go into battle to kill the enemy without flinching.

After doing this, Zhang Chao turned back to Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and the other generals and said, "Let's go, everyone go out of the city with me and kill the enemy!" ”

"Kill!" More than 6,000 soldiers shouted loudly together. The shouts shook the heavens, showing their determination to defy any strong enemy.

Outside Chaoge City, Yu Poison and Bai Huan were approaching with an army of 50,000. And it was still five miles away from the city, and I saw Zhang Chao's department from a distance, which had already completed the whole army and assembled in a large army.

"These people are really looking for death, and they even took the initiative to go out of the city to face the battle, do they really think that they are invincible in the world?" After seeing Zhang Chao's army, Yu Poison said hatefully.

originally thought that Zhang Chao would definitely refuse to defend the city. Although the city wall of Chaoge County is not tall, it is a reliance after all. Where did you think that you would take the initiative to meet the enemy? Isn't this the practice of looking for death?

Unbeknownst to him, Zhang Chao did not think about refusing to defend the city. It's just that when he saw the short city wall of Chaoge County, which seemed to be collapsing at any time, he gave up such an idea.
