Chapter 874: Zhang Yan's counterattack

Zhang Yan was wounded and fled from Montenegro and fled all the way to the depths of the Taihang Mountains.

At the same time, Zhang Yan issued a commanding order, calling for a group of thieves in the north to go south to crusade against the treacherous Zuo Zhangba and others.

Compared with the thieves in the south, the thieves in the north are more united and obey Zhang Yan's orders, which is also the place where Zuo Zhangba and others are most afraid of Zhang Yan.

The war was about to break out, and the northern coalition army commanded by Zhang Yan pressed southward, but Zuo Zhangba, Li Damu and others could not resist it, and retreated in defeat after defeat.

Zhang Yan took the opportunity to raid the old nest of Zuo Zhangba and others, and shared all the seized materials and equipment with the northern group of thieves, and won the unanimous gratitude of the thieves.

At the foot of Montenegro, a temporary camp.

The thieves patrolled back and forth, and in the commander's tent, Zhang Yan, who was wearing armor, sat in the center, and a group of thieves in the north sat on the left and right.

"Yan Shuai, there is only one black mountain left in the southern thieves now, I ask for orders to take the lead in the attack tomorrow!"

The leader of Qingshiling stood up, with a yellow face and a beard, and his eyes were huge, and he was a loyal fan of Zhang Yan, just like the dead Liu Shi.

When he learned that Zhang Yan had sent an order, he was the first leader of the thief village to stand up and answer the call.

At the beginning, he swore a bloody oath that he would advance and retreat together, but Li Damu and Zhang Leigong secretly defected to the imperial court, and they also fought against Montenegro, which is really hateful! Hateful! Annoying!

"Leader Zhao is right, our morale is high now, and we should attack Montenegro in one go, and cut off the heads of all those mutinous guys!"

Another man stood up, quite burly, it was Xue Kui, the leader of Yunfeng Mountain.

The rest of the leaders in the tent agreed, from the beginning of the battle, their army was indomitable, like a bamboo, Li Damu and those people lost their morale, they were not their opponents at all, after each battle, there would be many thieves who surrendered.

Now that the morale of the southern thief army is low, it is a good time to break through in one fell swoop!

Not at this time, but when!

Zhang Yan nodded without thinking, he countered the southern thief army by surprise with lightning speed, and if he didn't destroy them at this time, he would be in trouble when Lu Bu led the army to come to reinforce him.

Zhang Leigong and the others secretly voted for Lu Bu, and Lu Bu would definitely not watch them annihilated, so they must be completely eradicated before Lu Bu arrives in Montenegro!

Fortunately, there is a long distance from Puyang to Montenegro, and these times are enough for Zhang Yan to lead the army to break through Montenegro.

"Pass the order, all the sons and daughters will rest tonight, cook at the fifth watch tomorrow, and after they are full, they will attack Montenegro with all their might!" Zhang Yan stood up, waved his big hand, and gestured, full of pride.

"Yes, Yan Shuai!"

Infected by Zhang Yan's pride, the thieves in the tent also got up at the same time, clenched their fists and responded loudly.

…………

Mountainside, Black Mountain Cottage.

In the huge hall, Zhang Leigong, Li Damu and other thieves gathered together, among which there were a few leaders who were injured and hung up with colors, everyone's faces were full of solemnity and sorrow, and they looked extremely bleak.

The combined strength of a dozen bandit leaders in the south is 50,000 or 60,000 people. After several battles, he was stunned that he couldn't kill Zhang Yan, but he was defeated and retreated, losing face and losing his troops.

The terrain of the entire Taihang Mountain Range is almost well known to Zhang Yan. not only defeated the southern thief army, but also raided their respective thieves' nests, forced them all to Montenegro, and sealed the retreat.

It seems that he wants to catch them all.

"I knew that today, I shouldn't have let Zhang Yan escape in the first place, even if I used all my soldiers and horses to chase him down, I would have let him die in Montenegro." The current leader of Montenegro Yu Poison was gloomy and said angrily.

After all, in the last mutiny, he played a very dishonorable role.

Zhang Yan came back this time, even if he could spare everyone, he would definitely not be able to spare him as a traitor.

"Hey Zhang Leigong, when will the general arrive, you should give a letter, but don't wait for him to come, we will all die!" Yu Yigen shouted loudly, and his attitude was extremely dissatisfied.

The rest of the people also set their eyes on Zhang Leigong, in the final analysis, the matter of surrender was proposed by Zhang Leigong. In everyone's hearts, they all feel that there is a certain connection between Zhang Leigong and Lu Bu.

"This ......"

Zhang Leigong's face was embarrassed, the matter of surrender was all made up by the Sima brothers in the middle, and he had no news at all.

Now that Zhang Leigong has been promoted by everyone as the leader, he always has some words: "Everyone, the distance from Puyang to Montenegro is quite long, and the Taihang Mountains are full of mountains, and it is difficult for soldiers and horses to travel. I guess if we hold out for a few more days, the general's soldiers and horses should arrive. ”

However, this statement obviously did not satisfy everyone, and someone below sneered: "The general doesn't want us to fight to the death with Zhang Yan, and then he can come to the fisherman to collect profits and pick up ready-made!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall instantly fell silent, and everyone frowned, their eyes were full of suspicion, and they seriously pondered the meaning of these words.

Not to mention, it's really possible.

Putting everyone's expressions in his eyes, Sima Lang shook his head in his heart, in the end, it was a rabble, even if they were brought together, there would be no cohesion at all, it was completely like a plate of loose sand.

Everyone present seems to be pushing Zhang Lei Gong as the leader, but in fact, almost no one is willing to obey Zhang Lei Gong's orders, and the people are not in line with each other, and they are suspicious of each other, which is a big taboo.

In the confrontation with the main force of the northern thief army, Zuo Zhangba and Yu Yigen were unwilling to exert all their strength, for fear of breaking their own strength, causing the defense line to be broken by Zhang Yan as soon as he rushed through, and then when he fled for his life, he was faster than anyone else.

Such an undisciplined and scattered team does not deserve to win at all!

Sima Lang hated that iron could not become steel, but now that his morale was weak, he could not hit the confidence of the thieves, so he could only stabilize their mentality first.

"The general is already on his way, and there will be two or three days at most before he can reach Montenegro." Sima Lang got up slowly, made a confident expression on his face, and said lightly.

When the thieves heard this, their spirits were lifted in an instant.

Even the most scheming Zuo Zhangba couldn't help but twist his beard and asked, "Is this true?" ”

The thieves looked at Sima Lang, lest he would shake his head.

They subconsciously felt that they couldn't beat Zhang Yan because Zhang Yan was too fierce, they were not opponents, and they didn't dare to fight with him. If the world's number one general is here, he will definitely be able to kill Zhang Yan!

Sima Lang nodded lightly, and everyone instantly had confidence in their hearts.

"I'll just say that the general is wise and powerful, how can he give up on us! It's not me who blows, with our troops, let alone two or three days, even two or three months, it will definitely not be a problem to hold on to Montenegro! ”

Yu Yigen stroked his beard and laughed, completely ignoring the villain just now.

Everyone cast disdainful glances one after another, and this guy was shameless.
