There was an ambush on the way down the mountain, which caused the Yellow Turban soldiers to flee up the mountain.

The formation was directly disrupted.

"Yang Zhao, it's too much to deceive people!"

Zhang Yan shouted angrily, turned around and said, "Hurry up, go up, and hide in the mountains." ”

They were chaotic, undisciplined, and they didn't know how many people were ambushed below, anyway, they were afraid of being killed, and they thought about running away or running away, Zhang Yan didn't dare to lead the troops to rush down the mountain, only wanted to hide in the mountain.

"Kill!"

Tai Shi Ci ordered people to put away their bows and arrows, pull out their ring-headed knives, and chase them up the mountain.

The chaotic Yellow Turban soldiers in the back row, who had no ability to resist at all, were easily killed, just when Tai Shi Ci was about to kill, Fang Rui suddenly noticed that something was wrong, and when he looked back, he saw that there were more torches in the valley.

There were other Yellow Turban soldiers rushing here, as if to pick up Zhang Yan who had fled down the mountain.

"Ziyi, it's not good!"

"Someone came to pick up Zhang Yan, there are quite a few of them!"

Fang Rui hurriedly shouted.

Tai Shici looked back on the hillside, only to see the light of the torches, especially obvious in the dark night, these torches, still appeared from the direction of the rear of the Yellow Turban, and said decisively: "Go down the mountain, retreat!" ”

They were worried that they would be blocked by the people who answered them at the bottom of the mountain, and Zhang Yan would lead the troops back again, and the situation would be very unfavorable.

Tai Shi Ci and Fang Rui led the troops, and as soon as they arrived at the bottom of the mountain, they ran into that group of Yellow Turban soldiers.

"Kill!"

Fang Rui shouted: "After I broke off, Ziyi led the troops to leave, the enemy seems to have 20,000, and it is not suitable to fight for a long time." ”

Tai Shi Ci said loudly: "Okay! ”

The order was passed on, and he took the lead in leading the troops out of the valley, and Fang Rui led two thousand people to break off, and while this group of Yellow Turban soldiers had not yet fully gathered, he killed them and withdrew from the valley together.

They came here to lay in ambush, only 10,000 men, and the number of enemies was very large, and it was indeed not suitable for a long battle.

No one could have imagined that the movement here would attract the attention of the enemy so quickly, and someone would come to rescue Zhang Yan immediately, otherwise Zhang Yan could be killed tonight.

Tai Shi Ci's movements were very fast, and Fang Rui's break was very decisive.

The enemy wanted to surround and intercept them, but they did not give them this opportunity, and quickly retreated, and among the three ways in which they were divided, they failed this way, and reluctantly retreated.

Xu He was in charge of supporting Zhang Yan.

This evening, he led the troops to the base camp in the rear of the Yellow Turban, and wanted to meet Zhang Yan again tomorrow, but in the middle of the night, he heard bursts of shouts from this side of the valley, and sent scouts to take a look, and found that Zhang Yan had fled from the mountain, and Yang Zhao's soldiers and horses were ambushed and killed at the bottom of the mountain.

Xu He immediately sent troops to rescue, originally wanting to destroy this group of Yang Zhao's troops, but Tai Shici and their strength were very strong, so they could only watch them escape, and then shouted: "Go and pick up General Zhang." ”

With that, he led his troops to the mountains.

Zhang Yan, who fled indiscriminately, found that the enemy below was gone, and it was Xu He who came to save him and came down from the mountain again.

"General Zhang, how can this be?"

Xu He asked worriedly.

Zhang Yan wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, walked around the ghost gate, escaped death, and gasped: "Yang Zhao's subordinates, I don't know when they arrived on the mountain, and suddenly attacked, fortunately you came." ”

Xu He said: "It was General Zhang who asked me to come back and support you." ”

"Zhang Baiqi?"

Zhang Yan said loudly: "You immediately let someone go and tell Zhang Baiqi that I won't guard here, whoever wants to guard it, let whoever comes!" ”

He didn't want to stay here and die!

Even if he was asked to pack up his things and go back to Montenegro, he didn't want to be here and face Yang Zhao directly.

Xu He: "......"

The main force in the south was in a stalemate with Cao Cao, and the north was pressed to the ground by Yang Zhao and rubbed.

Their fate seems to be miserable!

——

Mountains.

"Lord, I got the news from Ziyi, someone at the bottom of the mountain rescued Zhang Yan, they didn't dare to fight for a long time, they could only withdraw from the valley, and Zhang Yan escaped." Chen Zhi got the news and hurriedly said.

Yang Zhao listened, and said regretfully: "Zhang Yan's luck is quite good, the enemy's rescue came in time, forget it!" Temporarily stationed in the mountains, tomorrow morning, in the valley below. ”

"Yes!"

The congregation will answer.

Tonight's plan is half the battle.

The remaining half of the defeat was to let Zhang Yan escape alive, which was a pity, but it didn't care too much, because the enemy's large rear defense line completely collapsed.

Early the next morning.

Yang Zhao led his troops down the mountain.

"Lord, we have come to confess."

Tai Shi Ci and Fang Rui said at the same time.

Yang Zhao said: "What happened last night has nothing to do with you, prepare to lead the troops into the valley." ”

"Thank you, Lord."

They were grateful.

The valley behind the hill is very large, and there is a river running through it, and the nearby land is fertile and has enough water for irrigation, and it goes about three or four miles into the valley, and the first thing you see is a village.

According to the scout's report, there are five other villages nearby, and there are not many people living there.

Zhang Yan and the other Yellow Turban Army, in addition to being stationed on the mountain they attacked last night, also had a big mountain in the south, which was a relatively long mountain range with complex terrain and was not easy to attack.

Yang Zhao led the army into the valley and stationed, and on the mountain to the south, all the Yellow Turban troops hid, and only dared to send scouts to look down from a distance halfway up the mountain.

Zhang Yan on the mountain went on strike directly and didn't want to defend it anymore.

Xu He had no choice but to personally lead the troops to watch out on the mountain, and on the mountain here, there were many Yellow Turban soldiers and believers in the Taiping Dao.

They were gathered together, and after the rebellion, most of them hid in the mountains.

Xu He recruited troops among the followers of Taiping Dao to defend against Yang Zhao, which soon grew to more than 60,000 people, and also distributed excess weapons to those believers, asking them to resist Yang Zhao's attack together.

At this time, Yang Zhao led his troops to the edge of a village.

The villagers looked out in fear when they saw the army approaching.

"The yellow scarves are close by, these villages can still live and work in peace and contentment, cultivate normally, and the cooking smoke in the village is rare." Guo Jia shook his head and smiled.

"Feng Xiao is saying that there is a problem with the people in the village?" Xu Huang asked curiously.

"There must be a problem!"

Guo Jia explained: "If I were a thief, would I leave so many villages under the mountain and not plunder? Ordinary Li Shu people, when they learn that there are thieves in the mountains, will they not run away? From this point of view, Taiping Dao has a deep penetration of the peasants. ”

Jia Xu agreed: "That's right, if we want to take away the people on the mountain, we can start with these villagers." ”

Yang Zhao's thoughts were similar to theirs, and he nodded and said: "These villagers are our breakthrough, Shu Zhi led troops into the village, contacted and tested the villagers, and the others camped in place." ”

Chen Zhi took a few soldiers and strode towards the village.

When the villagers saw this, they panicked.

The sturdy men in the village all gathered, and they were still holding the guys they usually used for farm work, and their eyes were full of vigilance, as if they were going to fight with Chen Zhi.
