Zhang Yan was completely blindsided.

He didn't expect Liu Biao to be so unbeaten, not only defeated in Chaoge, but even Yecheng was lost.

However, because Dong Huang's march was too fast, Zhang Yan, who was completely beaten by a time difference, did not realize it until Zhang He and Le Jin's troops came to the city.

Le Jin directly took the opportunity to sneak attack and defeat Zhang Yanjun's forward, and directly set up camp in front of Zhang Yanjun's camp to challenge, while Zhang He led 5,000 cavalry around Zhang Yanjun's back, directly cutting off Zhang Yanjun's food route.

What made Zhang Yan even more annoyed was that the Haoqiang who had defected to Dong Huang in Zhongshan, Changshan, Zhaojun, Shangdang, Hanoi and other places that he looked down on in the past also raised troops one after another to attack the nests of the Montenegrin Army, and Zhang Yan's Montenegrin Army was panicked for a while.

In the final analysis, the Montenegrin Army is not a unified army, but a coalition army composed of twenty or thirty warlords and bandits, Zhang Yan is only their nominal leader, Zhang Yan's headquarters plus the old and weak, women and children, is only 100,000 people, and now these 50,000 elites are actually the elite coalition troops of all departments of the Montenegrin Army.

As many factions as there are, there are many forced things.

As Dong Huang's army continued to spread the news that the back road was cut off and the nest was attacked, the leaders of the Montenegrin Army couldn't sit still, for fear that their nest would be breached, after all, they didn't occupy the best place like Zhang Yan, and they also left a lot of elite guards.

The generals are still worried, not to mention the ordinary soldiers who have no knowledge, these people who are forced by the peasants to pick up their weapons are not very belligerent, and they just want to live with their wives and children in this troubled world, and when they hear that their lair may be attacked, where can they still sit still!

What's more, Dong Huangjun's cavalry did indeed appear on his back road! The lair was attacked, the road was cut off, and the prestige of Dong Huang's army made a large part of the Montenegrin army even want to escape.

Faced with such a situation, Zhang Yan knew very well that he could never continue to wait like this, so after holding a controversial military meeting, the Montenegrin army finally decided to use the numerical advantage to fight a big battle, gamble, and strive to defeat Dong Huang's army, at least Zhang He's troops, and open up the way to retreat.

In Zhang Yanjun's view, although Dong Huang's army is strong, it is not without weaknesses, one is that it is inevitably tired in continuous combat, and the other is that Dong Huang's army that came to Dong Huang did not form a numerical advantage, as long as it is operated properly, it is not without the strength of a battle!

It's really not good, he can still let the small forces be cannon fodder, so he can take the main force to survive.

Under the pressure of survival, Zhang Yan finally persuaded most of the Montenegrin generals to decide on a desperate attack plan against Dong Huang's army.

Early the next morning, the 30,000 Montenegrin army was divided into five phalanxes, and under the cover of the archers, taking advantage of the numerical advantage, they rushed to the Lejin headquarters without fear of death.

Zhang Yan's idea is very simple, if you don't come to the rescue, then take the opportunity to defeat the Lejin department, if you dare to come, then the other 20,000 elites of Zhang Yanjun are prepared for this!

It's just that although Zhang Yan's idea is good, the defensive measures of Colajin are more in place than Zhang Yan and others imagined.

Although Le Jin and Zhang He did not bring too many people, but they brought well-equipped elite soldiers in a hundred battles, the military camp was strong and the armament was sufficient, Zhang Yanjun's weak bow had not yet reached the range of Le Jinjun, and Le Jinjun's strong bow and hard crossbow had already split his head and covered his face in three waves.

In the subsequent close-range attack on the village, Zhang Yanjun almost did not achieve much effect, but his own people suffered heavy losses.

And when the sleepy Montenegrin army was about to retreat, the 3,000 cavalry of Dong Huang's army suddenly came out and chased and beat the retreating Zhang Yanjun fiercely, making Zhang Yanjun feel uncomfortable.

Subsequently, these cavalry did not return to the camp, but rushed out in two directions, like a pair of pincers, staying on both sides of the camp, ready to attack Zhang Yanjun's troops out of the camp at any time.

It's tangled!

This was the only thought of Zhang Yan and others at this time.

In comparison, because of the lack of troops in the Le Army, Zhang Yanjun's losses were not very large, but after all, they still suffered defeats, which was not good news for the Black Mountain Army, whose morale had plummeted, and the call for retreat in the camp was getting higher and higher, which couldn't help but make Zhang Yan's brows tighter.

provoked Dong Zhuo such a big enemy, and after losing the army, Queen Cang retreated, which is still a trivial blow to Zhang Yan's prestige, the key is how to solve the problem of grain and grass?

Because of the rugged and barren base area, the food grown by the Montenegrin army is simply not enough to meet the needs of millions of mouths, and even fewer can be brought out to fight.

In fact, the grain and grass brought by the Montenegrin army was only enough for the army for ten days, and they had the intention of grabbing a handful and leaving, but they didn't expect Liu Biaojun to be so vulnerable!

After weighing the pros and cons for a long time, Zhang Yan finally decided to continue the attack in the afternoon.

In the afternoon attack, Zhang Yanjun was obviously more conservative, placing spearmen and others on both sides to block Dong Zhuo's cavalry, while the main force launched a fierce attack on Dong Zhuo's army under the cover of archers.

In the afternoon, Zhang Yanjun's battle was even more successful.

The small leaders of the Black Mountain Army, Li Damu, Yu Poison, Zuo Zhangba, Tao Sheng and others, all contributed to the work, and Tao Sheng directly chose to betray.

There is no shortage of traitors in this world. In the original history, Zhang Yan captured Yecheng with the assistance of Yuan Shaojun's traitors, and originally wanted to capture Yuan Shaojun's wife as a threat, but he didn't expect to immediately usher in the betrayal of his general Tao Sheng, Tao Sheng finally covered Yuan Shao's family and some important people to escape, causing Zhang Yan's plan to fall short.

In this time and space, Tao Sheng still chose to betray, but the object of his surrender was replaced by Dong Huang.

Tao Sheng should be regarded as a smart person, because he clearly understands the fatal weakness of the Montenegrin army: the soldiers are not fine, the heart is not aligned, the lord has no great talent, and the soldiers have no fighting spirit, it is impossible to achieve anything at all, and with the increasing external pressure, sooner or later it will turn into the dust of history.

If you don't want to be crushed by the wheels of the general trend, choosing a master is the best choice.

Tao Sheng's first choice is actually Yuan Shao, in this era, the famous family of the fourth and third princes is very attractive! However, the reality is that Yuan Shao can't even figure out Liu Biao, and now he doesn't know where he fled to!

Yuan Shao can't count on it, and Liu Biao can't protect himself, even if the Montenegrin army still has a local advantage, but Tao Sheng knows very well that it is because Dong Huang's army is far from going all out, once Dong Huang's army goes all out, it will be a matter of minutes for the Montenegrin army to be defeated.

Instead of waiting for heavy losses or even death in battle, it is better to take advantage of the opportunity now and sell for a good price!

Therefore, Tao Sheng resolutely chose to go out of the camp overnight and surrender to Lejin.

With the traitors inside, there is no suspense in the next battle.
