On the opposite side of the Hulu Ferry Port, nearly a thousand soldiers were resting, and there were fifty grain and straw trucks beside them. This team is a heavy infantry led by Guan Ping, and 30 carts of grain and grass are naturally the spoils seized from the Black Mountain Army.
Zhang Yan, who was one mile away from Hulu Ferry, also got the news reported by the scout. With less than a thousand people, will it be a trap? Zhang Yan had been thinking about it for a long time, her eyes showed a strange color. He believed that there was no error in his judgment. Liu Xun must have transferred all the troops to the south, intending to fight him. And this food transport team is just a surprise. Raiders naturally don't need too many people.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yan told herself that this was an opportunity. It is late summer, when the sun is at its strongest. In addition, in the last few days, the sky is beautiful, and there is no rain. Generally, the water level of rivers is relatively low, and people can easily cross the river.
Zhang Yan led the army quietly down for half a mile, and then ordered the whole army to cross the river. The Ruhe River is much shallower than Zhang Yan had imagined, and even the deepest place only reaches the human abdomen. At this moment, he was in the upper reaches of the Xiangjiang River, and Zhang Renzheng leisurely looked at the sky downstream. A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. A little bit of time passed, and finally, Zhang Ren saw a puff of smoke rising from the sky below.
The smoke represented that the pioneer troops of Zhang Yanjun downstream had crossed the river.
Zhang Ren yelled: "Let the water." Three thousand soldiers together with heavy wood toppled the sandbags that intercepted the water of the Xianghe River. Suddenly, the water was so powerful that it rushed downstream frantically. The momentum is like a million horses galloping.
The Black Mountain Army downstream looked stunned one by one, as if they had forgotten that the water was rushing towards them. Zhang Yan, who had just crossed Rushui River, shouted in grief and indignation: "Quick retreat, quick retreat, quick retreat..." At this moment, Zhang Yan's cry was so weak. The surging torrent relentlessly rushed towards the Black Mountain army in the water.
The cries and screams in the Xiangjiang River are endless. The Montenegrin army is composed of northern men, all brave and good at fighting, but almost all are dry ducks. In the face of this ruthless flood, they can only make the last call of their lives. Only death awaits them.
The Montenegrin army on both sides of the strait stared blankly at the comrades in the river wailing, the comrades who stretched out their hands to ask them for help, and the comrades who were washed away by the flood, showing a look of grief. However, it's impossible to leave it alone, the doom of the Black Mountain Army is not over yet.
At this moment, Huang Zhong had already led his troops into the Black Mountain Army at the Hulu Ferry.
It turned out that Huang Zhong was ordered to wait for Zhang Yan three miles east of Zaoyang County, planning to burn Zhang Yan again. However, after a long time, Zhang Yan was still missing, and it was known that Fire Attack Plan No. 1 had failed. He immediately led the nearly 10,000 horses in his hands and went to Xiangjiang to implement the second set of combat plans.
According to the plan, he parked the army near the gourd, waiting for the smoke downstream, as long as the smoke is together, he will lead the troops to cover up and kill. On the other side, Guan Ping had already joined forces with Zhang Ren and launched an attack on Zhang Yan who had passed through Ruhe.
Huang Zhong held a big knife, and the BMW under his seat was kicking and dancing. In Zhang Yanjun's camp, as if entering an uninhabited state, no one could walk through the triad under his gun. No one in the Montenegrin army can touch its edge.
Guan Ping on the other side also picked Zhang Yan. Although Guan Ping was young, his martial arts were extremely powerful under the control of his father Guan Yu. However, Zhang Yan is not weak, her martial arts is unmatched in the Montenegrin army. The encounter between the two generals is naturally inseparable. Guan Ping mentioned the broken sword and slashed three times in a row. The broken sword was like a mad dragon, which forced Zhang Yan to retreat again and again.
Zhang Yan's left hand arrow was not healed, unable to fight a protracted battle. At thirty close, the danger is already alive. After a few more times, Zhang Yan's left hand wound cracked, and the anguish pain made him almost breathless. Zhang Yan knew that there would be life or death in the battle, so she rose up to force Guan Ping back and rushed to the other side.
Guan Ping had already seen the blood on Zhang Yan's arm, and he didn't want to take advantage of the danger, so he didn't chase after him. This battle only fought in the dark, and the strength of the Black Mountain Army gradually showed itself. However, the morale of the Black Mountain Army, which has no masters, is far inferior to that of Huang Zhong and Guan Ping.
Seeing that the victory has been divided, Zhang Yan is unwilling to fight meaninglessly, and breaks through with a thousand remnants. As soon as Zhang Yan left, the Montenegrin armies on both sides of the strait lost their spiritual support, and surrenders and escapees abound.
Soon, Huang Zhong and Guan Ping showed triumphant smiles. However, Zhang Yan led the defeated soldiers straight to Jiangling City. It's just that Zhang Yan didn't know that the Black Mountain Army near Jiangling City also suffered a devastating blow. Of course, all this was in Liu Xun's calculations. When Liu Xun found that all the grain and grass in Jiangling were almost empty, he came up with this'serial plan' to bring the Black Mountain Army from the north to the Jedi.
It turned out that Zhang Yan led the army to chase after Huang Zhonghou. Zhao Yun led the army to the city of Jiangling. Seeing that it was Zhao Yun, Zhao Lei on the tower immediately lowered the suspension bridge and opened the city gate. Zhao Yun led the army into the city and rushed to the chamber without stopping. Seeing that everyone was there, Zhao Yun said immediately: "The lord has an order, and General Guan Yu immediately gathers all the troops in his hand to go out of the city and annihilate the enemy together."
Guan Yu was overjoyed to take the order. After a while, the remaining 30,000 soldiers in the city rushed out of the south gate under the leadership of Guan Yu and Zhao Lei. The soldiers suffocated their strength and wielded their swords to avenge the siege of nearly a month.
Zhao Yun was unwilling to be lonely, and handed over the task of defending the city to Ma Liang, alone, rushed into the crowd of Black Mountain warriors and killed him. There are only 30,000 soldiers in Montenegro, but they have to defend four city gates, and they have used the tactic of'bluffing', and their forces are too scattered. Under Liu Xunjun's concerted blow, they couldn't gather together for a while, and could only fight separately.
The battle lasted for an hour, and the four Montenegrin defenders were defeated one by one by Liu Xun's army. Yu Du was also split in half by Guan Yu. The battle was extremely tragic. Within the lower half of the city of Jiangling, all the soil was stained red, and it did not retreat for a long time.
In just a few days, the Montenegrin army was famous for a while. In a blink of an eye, it became a cloud of smoke. However, Zhang Yan broke out from the other side of the Gourd Ferry and was inexplicably sad when he saw the tragedy of the remnant army. After walking for a few miles, I suddenly saw many Montenegrin soldiers, all wounded, supporting each other.
Zhang Yan's expression changed, and an ominous premonition surged into her heart. He immediately asked in a trembling voice: "Why did the brothers end up like this?"
"Yan Shuai... oo... oo... It's over, about an hour after Yan Shuai left, Liu Xunjun launched a fierce attack on our army. Our army could not resist, Liu Xunjun's offensive. Several counterattacks organized by Wang Tianwang, They were all disintegrated. Even Wang Tianwang himself was beheaded by a fierce general called Pound, a member of Liu Xun’s army. The brothers died, died, died, descended, and ran. Thirty thousand brothers were in a blink of an eye. No more...ohhhhhhhhhh..."
As he said, he cried loudly. The soldiers imagined the current situation and couldn't help crying.
Zhang Yan's face was pale, and her mind was dizzy. Although he saw this team of remnants, he had already guessed this fact. But when he really heard the news, he was still hit hard.
"Liu Xun, Zhang Yan and you are at odds."
Zhang Yan shouted out these twelve words with all her strength. The shouts were full of boundless hatred, which made the surrounding soldiers shudder.
A Montenegrin soldier asked: "Shanshuai, what should we do now."
Zhang Yan thought for a while and said decisively: "Assault Xiangyang, Liu Xun's army gathered under Jiangling City, Xiangyang City is bound to be empty, we can take Xiangyang in one go. All the troops listen to orders to take Xiangyang City!"
"No!" All the Montenegrin army responded in unison. Zhang Yan glanced at Nanjun and led the remnant army to Xiangyang City.
The journey was exceptionally smooth. After a few hours, Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army reached the city of Xiangyang smoothly. Zhang Yan looked obsessively at the Chinese-character flag that fluttered in the wind on the city wall, thinking of her dead brother, and hated the itching of the roots of her teeth. If he fled back like this, Zhang Yan would not be reconciled, he wanted to take down Xiangyang County. Make use of the sufficient money and food in Xiangyang City to recruit troops and buy horses, and make a comeback. Zhang Yan was about to order the entire army to attack the city. Suddenly, there were many banners at the head of the city, and countless crossbowmen were all over the city.
"Zhang Yan" shouted loudly. As soon as the shout fell, the crossbow arrows of nearly ten thousand crossbowmen gushing from the city head aimed at Zhang Yan's Black Mountain army. As long as Liu Xun gave an order, these crossbowmen could shoot Zhang Yan's 10,000 or 20,000 remnants.
Seeing this, Zhang Yan immediately understood, and he laughed sadly: "...haha...haha...what a Liu Xun, Zhang Yan admires him, he is defeated in your hands, not wronged...haha...haha..." Liu Xun stood there. Under the city wall, watching the scene of the hero ending, I can't help but sigh.
In fact, Liu Xun once thought about forcing Zhang Yan to surrender and persuading him to join the Han army. But he didn't dare, Zhang Yan was too strong. If he killed too many soldiers, Zhang Yan's character would definitely not surrender. However, if Zhang Yan's too many soldiers were not killed, Zhang Yan's strength would be enough to threaten the safety of the Han army's rear.
Even if Zhang Yan was surrendered, if Zhang Yan suddenly rebelled, that would be no joke. Now the Han army is attacking Hanzhong, and the total number of soldiers in Jingzhou is only 60,000. At this time, a large-scale civil turmoil must be fatal to the Han army. Liu Xuncai did not dare to put this time bomb beside him, not to mention that he was Cao Cao's subordinate.
Liu Xun said loudly on the city wall: "Zhang Yan, you have become a turtle in the urn. As long as I give an order, you and others will die under the crossbow arrow. For your brother, why don't you come down early."
Liu Xun's remarks were aimed at Zhang Yan's weakness. At the same time, Liu Xun's words also hit the pain in his heart.
He stared at Liu Xun on the city wall with fire-breathing eyes, looking like he couldn't wait to divide his five horses into pieces, and said bitterly: "Liu Xun, you destroy my army of Montenegro. There is a reason to drop you." Even Liu Xun, who was on the top of the tower, could feel Zhang Yan's strong killing intent towards him...
