"Report, General Zhao, the front-line flying pigeons spread the news, the enemy army dispatched 60,000 Yellow Turban wrestlers at the West Gate today, but they were all folded inside!" A Jinyi guard found Zhao Yun overnight and reported the battle situation in Jingcheng County to Zhao Yun.

At this time, it was already two or three hours after the sun went down, and it was already late, but fortunately, the moonlight was still good and the road was smooth, so Zhao Yun was still in a hurry overnight.

"How far is this place from Jingcheng County?" Zhao Yun is not familiar with this area, he has always relied on scouts to lead the team, and often consults the accompanying Jinyiwei, and the Jinyiwei who reported the news just now came from the front line, so he naturally asked him the most reliable.

"At the current pace of marching, it is estimated that it will arrive outside the west gate of Jingcheng County at midnight." The brocade guard who reported the news calculated a little and gave an affirmative answer.

"Five to ten miles away from the enemy's tent, can you find a place where my 20,000 soldiers and horses are temporarily resting?" Zhao Yun asked again.

Since receiving the mission, the road has been non-stop, people are sleepy and hungry, and they must rest properly in order to recover their strength!

"There is no nearby, but more than 30 miles west of the Montenegrin Army's tent, there is a basin, not far from the necessary road for the Montenegrin Army to retreat westward, but it needs to be detoured, and it takes two or three more hours." Report the brocade guard.

"You lead the way in front, we will go to that basin, and at the same time report our whereabouts to General Zhang Liao, if the enemy retreats, ask him to pursue the elite in the city, and we will sneak attack the Montenegrin army halfway!" Zhao Yundao. There are more than 100,000 enemy troops outside the city, and 20,000 wolf cavalry can only play the role of a sneak attack, and the main force has to be fought by the soldiers in the city, although the defenders in the city must be exhausted at this moment!

"No!" The brocade guard bowed and turned to leave.

"Alliance leader, the enemy army has gone down?" Zheng Deshan gasped, bent over, leaned on the spear, leaned against the battlements, turned his head to look at the last rays of the sunset, and smiled and asked the sword holding him.

The days are indeed too sad, especially since yesterday, the siege enthusiasm of the Montenegrin army, which has been defeated, has resurged. In particular, tens of thousands of Yellow Turban wrestlers participated in the siege, which brought great pressure to the Sword Alliance.

Even Zheng Deshan, who has the peak strength of the Xuan level, was injured and injured, especially not long ago, he was stabbed in the waist and abdomen, if it wasn't for the sword himself, it is estimated that he would have died once.

"Go down! The Montenegrin army is really crazy! Damn, how do I feel like I'm blocking a gun for Ye Teng? The sword held Zheng Deshan steady, and also leaned towards the battlements, a little out of breath.

He could see clearly how many defenders there were in Shangai County, and if he hadn't brought a large army to help, he would never believe that the little army in the city would be able to withstand the crowd tactics of millions of Montenegrin troops.

"Yes, I don't know about other cities, just in Shangai County, my sword alliance and other allied forces, the soldiers who sacrificed alone have exceeded the inherent defenders in the city." Zheng Deshan should be reconciled.

"The intensity of this war is almost catching up with the Xianbei invasion! The information from Ye Teng's side is a bit reasonable, the battle in the past two days is a bit like the last madness of Xianbei in the central part of the country when Danhan Mountain is destroyed, maybe it will be either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and the enemy army will withdraw! "Tyranny.

"I think it's the same, more than a million people have been killed, including tens of thousands of Yellow Turban wrestlers, and they still can't break through the city, even if we attack the city ourselves, I'm afraid we will lose confidence, and the enemy may really want to run!" Zheng Deshan agreed.

"Alliance Leader, Ye City Lord Flying Pigeon Messenger, he has arrived outside Shangai County! He said that if the enemy retreats tomorrow, let's pursue it with all our might! A player general walked over quickly and handed over a letter.

Ba Dao took the letter, read it at a glance, and looked at the vast field shrouded in twilight outside the city, as if to see where Ye Teng was hiding at this time, punched on the city wall, and sighed softly: "Hehe, the hero sees the same!" ”

After a slight pause, the sword turned around and ordered: "Let the scouts keep an eye on the army outside the city, and don't let the enemy sneak away!" At the same time, in addition to the light and serious wounded and ordinary troops, all the middle and junior special arms should try their best to find war horses, rest well for the night, and be ready to pursue at any time tomorrow! We have fought the most difficult confrontation battle, and when it comes to harvesting, don't miss it! ”

"No!" A few generals who gradually surrounded him agreed in unison!

——————————

Ye Teng and the others' predictions were not wrong.

When the last two consecutive days of frenzied attacks failed to break through any of the cities, under Zhang Yan's order, the Montenegrin army in Jingcheng County and Shangai County packed their bags overnight and prepared to retreat at the same time early the next morning.

Whether it is outside Jingcheng County or Shangai County, the remaining Black Mountain Army is more than a million people, and the retreat of such a huge army is not a simple matter, so it is necessary to arrange the vanguard and the broken rear troops.

The pioneer said that everyone is eager to leave early, so they are willing to go first. But the danger after the break is self-evident, and no one wants it. What's more, if they all lead their own descendants, in case of heavy losses, how can they mix in the Taihang Mountains when they go back?

In the end, the Montenegrin army outside the city unanimously discussed a solution that was not a solution: the troops were transferred, and the generals were drawn by lot! This is also a common method used by bandit coalitions.

Outside the city of Jingcheng County, 100,000 troops were drawn from various troops, led by Fuyun, who had drawn lots; Outside Shangai County, 120,000 troops were drawn from various units, led by Colonel Zuo, who had won the lot.

Of course, there was not a single Yellow Turban wrestler in the transferred troops, and there was also a lack of generals who should have been, and the troops were chaotic, and many people even looked like ashes, whether it was Fuyun or Colonel Zuo, they were all ready to take advantage of the chaos to flee for their lives. Anyway, the main force of their subordinates will follow the troops back to the cottage, as long as they can escape back to the cottage, everything will be the same as before!

The broken troops became outcasts from the beginning.

——————————

What the Black Mountain Army didn't know was that both the defenders in the two cities and the cavalry of Tianma City outside the city were ready to take advantage of the chaos to pursue the enemy.

The next day, when the sky was just dawning, the Montenegrin Army was ready to go, except for the broken rear troops. Although there were heavy casualties and nothing to be gained in this expedition, as long as they returned to Taihang Mountain and recuperated for a period of time, at least for these leaders, they could still live a happy life.

In the distance, the eyes of a pair of brocade-clad guards and scouts had already been staring at the Black Mountain Army camp, and since their vanguard army set out from the camp, they immediately transmitted the news back to the two cities, as well as in front of Ye Teng and Zhao Yun's army.

Soon after, there were large groups of cavalry in Jingcheng County and Shangai County that got the news, lined up behind the West City Gate, ready to bite off a piece of meat from the rear army once the enemy retreated!

Zhao Yun was thirty miles away, preparing to intercept and kill halfway, and cooperate with the defenders of Jingcheng County, so it was best to leave part of Zhang Yan's large army.

Because Ye Teng led all high-level special troops, and had two heaven-level generals and one prefecture-level general, he was ready to kill the leader of the enemy army with a ferocious surprise attack, so that the enemy army fell into a leaderless state, and created conditions for the defenders in the city to annihilate the enemy's large army!
