Chapter 41: Frustration
With Zhang Niujiao's order, more than 20,000 of his men immediately turned to march towards Cangting in the east.
The masked man frowned and said, "This Yuan Mai is a bit unexpected!" I thought he was just a rampant son, but I didn't expect him to have such ability? ……”
Zhang Niujiao didn't pay attention to it at all, and said with a smile: "Whether he has the ability or not, there are only 3,500 people, which is not enough for us to stuff our teeth!" Sir, just watch, our army only needs one charge to completely defeat them! ”
The masked man nodded, and also thought that what Zhang Niujiao said was the truth, and he didn't think that the three thousand five hundred people in Zhang Lang's hands would be able to make any waves.
Zhang Niujiao suddenly remembered something and asked, "Sir, do you need to stay alive in this battle?" ”
A fierce look flashed in the masked man's eyes, and he said, "What Miss means, except for the pair of Zhang He brothers and sisters, the rest of the people don't have to stay!" ”
Zhang Niujiao nodded, and couldn't help but say, "...... those grains and grass?" ”
The masked man laughed; "Since Madame said that it will be given to the king, all the grain and grass will naturally belong to the king, and the king doesn't have to worry."
Zhang Niujiao laughed.
More than 20,000 Black Mountain thieves marched all the way to Cangting.
Zhang Niujiao wasn't worried about anything else, but he was worried about whether the alliance of the princes of the Chen Liuhui Alliance would come to ruin his good deeds after getting the news.
So I plan to rush to Cangting as soon as possible, solve the fourth prince in one go, and then return to Taihang Mountain with grain and grass!
Thirty miles of road is not long, short is not short, after a while, more than 20,000 Black Mountain thieves led by Zhang Niujiao finally arrived in Cangting.
This Cangting is located on the south bank of the Yellow River, the terrain is gentle, and only one hill stands by the river, which is a little abrupt.
The Montenegrin army stopped, Zhang Niujiao sat on horseback and raised his eyes into the distance, and by the faint moonlight, he saw that there seemed to be many people on the hill in front of him, but the street pavilion next to him was silent, and there was no half of a figure.
It was dark in the few houses, and there was no light in sight, and it was not known if the families had fled.
Zhang Niujiao smiled and said to the masked man: "Sir's information is really accurate, they really retreated to Cangting Mountain." ”
The masked man smiled coldly, and then said, "There is not much time, the king should hurry up and attack!" ”
Zhang Niujiao had already had this intention, and immediately raised the ghost head sword in his hand and shouted: "Brothers, countless money and grain are on that hill!" Listen to my orders, the whole army will attack, and those who rush up the mountain first will be rewarded with ten loads of grain! ”
These Black Mountain soldiers showed excited eyes, as if jackals had seen their prey, and let out a huge cry and rushed straight towards the hill ahead!
The original silence was broken in an instant, and it seemed that a wave was about to hit the hill in the dark night!
Zhang Niujiao sat on horseback and watched, his expression was very relaxed, in his opinion, this battle was very simple, these tiger and wolf soldiers under his command and a stormtrooper drinker completely defeated those lambs on the mountain, and the rest of the matter was just to transport grain and grass back to the mountain.
With a huge shout, more than 20,000 Montenegrin troops rushed to the front of the hill, and rushed towards the hill without making any stops, like a sudden rising flood, as if it was going to overflow the entire hill in a short time!
In the blink of an eye, the tide of Montenegrin soldiers rushed to the mountainside, shouting wildly, as if unstoppable.
Zhang Niujiao, who immediately watched the battle at the foot of the mountain, saw this scene,
I couldn't help but feel proud in my heart, and laughed: "I originally thought that the fourth son of the Yuan family could resist our army for a moment, but now it seems that I overestimated him, and I think I can end the battle within a pillar of incense!" ”
The masked man nodded, and said secretly in his heart: Miss specially instructed that you should not despise this fourth son, and now it seems that she is too worried! He is also the same as the children of those big families, he is simply a straw bag.
Retracting his thoughts, he looked ahead, only to see that the Black Mountain Army was continuing to rush towards the hill.
Boom boom boom ......! Suddenly, there was a huge roar from the hill, like thunder.
This sudden situation stunned both Zhang Niujiao and the masked man, and at the same time, a huge scream rang out under the huge roar!
The two of them suddenly saw that the unstoppable tide of soldiers who were still surging towards the mountain just now seemed to be blocked, and stopped!
It turned out that at this moment, countless rolling stones and sassals suddenly poured down from the hill, rushing down the hillside like a torrent, and slammed into the tide of the Black Army with a huge roar!
This kind of rolling stone and wood that rushed down the mountain was extremely powerful, and in the loud sound of continuous collision, I saw countless Black Mountain bandits being knocked into the sky!
The screams rang out in this terrible crash, and the Montenegrin army in front was frightened and hurriedly retreated backwards, while the Montenegrin army behind was still rushing towards the mountain although they found that there was a huge movement in front.
As a result, the Montenegrin Army, which was in a hurry to retreat in front, and the Montenegrin Army, which was still continuing to charge, rushed together, and everyone was unable to advance or retreat for a while!
And at this moment, the rolling stone and sassal wood were still pouring down, crashing into the crowd, smashing the flesh and blood of the Montenegrin army and bandits! The screams and screams came one after another, and the scene was chaotic!
The Montenegrin army in the back finally found out that the situation was not good, and hurriedly retreated, and the Montenegrin army in front was finally able to retreat, and the entire Montenegrin army hurriedly retreated down the hillside, completely losing the momentum of the surging charge just now!
The Montenegrin army retreated to the bottom of the mountain, and stopped continuing to retreat under the shouts and shouts of the leaders, and everyone was shocked.
Zhang Niujiao and the masked man were all stunned when they saw such a scene, they had no idea that their opponent would use such a method to repel their first round of attack!
At this time, a leader hurried to Zhang Niujiao and said urgently: "Great King, the enemy army used the stones and wood on the mountain to attack us, and the brothers have suffered more than a thousand casualties!" ……”
Zhang Niujiao was shocked and angry, an evil fire rose, looked towards the mountain, and scolded angrily: "Yuan Mai, you are looking for death!" ……”
The masked man on the side said: "It seems that we miscalculated!" This Yuan Mai is not an easy guy to deal with, the king must put away his heart of contempt for the enemy and deal with it with all his might! ”
Zhang Niujiao nodded and sneered: "I was careless just now, let him take advantage of it!" Now I'm going to let him know awesome! ”
Then he shouted at the leader beside him; "Attack with a shield formation!"
The leader clenched his fists and ran.
Soon, the horn sounded loudly, and five or six thousand Black Mountain troops immediately stepped forward, holding shields to form a phalanx with the shield wall as the forerunner, and marched up the hill in unison to advance towards the hill!
And not far from the rear of this army, followed by another five or six thousand men and horses, all armed with bows and arrows, relying on the cover of the front team, attacked together.
The shield army is the leading barrier, and the archers follow the attack, which is a common tactic for the Han army's infantry to attack, and these Montenegrin troops are actually well-trained!
The masked man glanced at Zhang Niujiao, whose eyes were full of murderous aura next to him, and felt that he had underestimated them before.
