And the state, Taiyuan County Jinyang.

Under the city, the banner was unfurled, and the 80,000 Black Mountain Army swept all over the mountain, and the black pressure was like an ant colony, which was shocking and chilling.

"Chuan Ben Taishou ordered those big clans who didn't want to die at the hands of the Black Mountain thieves to send their family members to the city wall to help defend the city...... Just go! ”

Zhang Yi, the Taishou of Taiyuan County, looked at the swept Black Mountain Army, and complained bitterly in his heart, and swayed for a long time between abandoning the city and escaping and defending the city, and finally decided to defend it.

There are 7,000 soldiers in Jinyang City, and if they resist the attack of 80,000 Black Mountain Army, it is estimated that they can hold out for a day or two. However, Jinyang is the largest capital city in the entire state, there are many gates in the city, and there are about 15,000 people in the city, if you can get half of the support, and then encourage some ordinary people to climb the city wall to help defend, it is estimated that it can last for five or six days. Shicai has already sent a flying horse to Beijing to ask for help, and he will be able to wait for help at that time.

It was already April, and the mountains were full of greenery, but after the Black Mountain army stepped over, it suddenly turned into a withered yellow, like a scene of a disaster.

The Montenegrin Army started five years ago, formed by Zhang Niujiao, a native of Boling, and Chu Feiyan, a native of Zhending, Changshan, and gathered more than 10,000 people to entrench themselves on Taihang Mountain, plundering all over the country, echoing with the Yellow Turban Divisions, and constantly developing and growing, and finally became a major problem for the imperial court.

After the death of the three Zhang Jiao brothers, the Yellow Turban Divisions suddenly dispersed, and every day there were remnants of the Yellow Turbans of different sizes, from Hebei, Henan, Yan, Si and other states to come to Taihang to join the Black Mountain Army. The size varies, the most is nearly 10,000, and the less is 3 or 4,000. As a result, the size of the Montenegrin Army is getting bigger and bigger.

After several years of development, the Montenegrin army entrenched on Taihang Mountain has 300,000 people at this moment, of course, this is the number including the old and weak, women and children, and the elite who can really fight on the battlefield is about 100,000, and the rest are family members who fled for their lives.

The various departments of Montenegro do not gather together on weekdays, and each of them is looking for dangerous places in the vast Taihang and setting up camp. Solve the food problem separately. On weekdays, Zhang Niujiao and Chu Feiyan protect their safety, but there are imperial troops to attack. The two of them will inevitably issue the Black Mountain Banner and gather all the departments to jointly repel the officers and soldiers who are coming to attack. The Montenegrin tribes that received the banner had to send their troops on time, otherwise they would be removed from the Montenegrin army. Expelled from Taihang Mountain.

It is precisely because of the strict discipline that the Montenegrin ministries have maintained good discipline and are able to share the same hatred and hatred. In the past four or five years, the Montenegrin army has repeatedly thwarted the encirclement and suppression of the imperial court, killing more than 10,000 officers and soldiers, and gradually making the local assassins and county guards dare not come to encircle and suppress again, and the imperial court has been busy with internal strife and power, so the Montenegrin army has gradually grown and entrenched in the vast Taihang. Steady as Mount Tai.

"Big brother, do you really want to attack the city?"

Chu Feiyan, who was thin and capable, rode horses side by side with Zhang Niujiao, and they slurred when they spoke. Full of worries.

With a golden horned helmet on his head, a bearded face, and a tall Zhang Niujiao smiled heartily: "Haha...... Brother, where are you talking about, we issued the Black Mountain Flag on a large scale this time, gathered seventy or eighty thousand people to come to Jinyang City, of course we are going to attack the city. Could it be just to scare them? ”

Chu Feiyan's brows furrowed even tighter: "But Jinyang City has thick walls and plenty of soldiers. What's more, there are many wealthy families in the county, and tens of thousands of guests and servants, if these people defend the city with all their might, I am afraid that it will be difficult to break the city within three or five days, and when the reinforcements come, we will be busy in vain! Even if Jinyang is finally defeated, it will have to pay a heavy price, so the foolish brother still wants to ask his brother to think about it again! ”

"Haha...... Weigh it and think about it, that's what girls do! Let's raise the banner to resist the imperial court, it's just a matter of licking blood with a knife, and if you die, you're dead, so what's the fear? ”

Zhang Niujiao rode his horse and whipped, and said arrogantly, "Even if I Zhang Niujiao dies under Jinyang City today, it will be providence!" Ran Min said that he would be the first to attack the city, and within one day, he would definitely take Jinyang City! ”

"Ran Min?"

As soon as she heard Zhang Niujiao mention this name, Chu Feiyan felt annoyed in her heart, and quietly glanced at the big man riding on Zhulong's red horse not far ahead.

I saw that he was more than nine feet tall, with a big waist and a burly figure, about thirty-five years old, with a beard on his cheeks, and he looked even more vicious. With a double-edged spear of two feet in his left hand and a sixty-eight-pound hook halberd in his right hand, he rode on Zhu Long's horse and looked forward to himself, looking like he was alone in heaven and earth.

"Hmph...... I really don't know what the sky is like and the earth is thick, and you can take Jinyang City in one day? Is it true that the defenders of the city are all papier-mâché? Chu Feiyan sneered in her heart.

Seeing Chu Feiyan's disdain and disdain, Zhang Niujiao laughed and said, "Haha...... What's the matter, Brother Chu thinks this brother of mine is bragging? ”

"Don't dare!" Zhang Yan said that he didn't dare, but the disdain on his face did not change at all.

Zhang Niujiao became interested, so he made a loud noise: "More than a month ago, a certain person went down the mountain to hunt with hundreds of henchmen, and suddenly encountered a group of 5,000 officers and soldiers. I don't know if these dogs are looking at me with few soldiers or what? Suddenly, he bit my brother and I didn't let go, and I kept chasing for fifty or sixty miles, but there were 1,000 light cavalry and 500 heavy armored cavalry among the officers and soldiers......"

Zhang Niujiao revealed fear as he spoke: "Ahhh......h At that time, brother, I really thought that I was in a catastrophe, and even passed on the word that you would take my place, brother, and be in charge of the entire Montenegrin Army! ”

Listening to Zhang Niujiao's words, Chu Feiyan's heart moved: "Thank you, eldest brother, for being so important to Feiyan, the younger brother is really inscribed!" ”

Zhang Niujiao didn't pay attention to Chu Feiyan's topic, and continued to foam at the mouth: "Just when my brother called the heavens and the earth should not be, my Ran Min brother appeared, he was armed with a double-edged spear, and the Zhu Longma under his crotch, crotching back and forth among thousands of officers and soldiers, killing more than 900 officers and soldiers on a single horse, three captains, one partial general, and countless small leaders such as military waiters and team leaders, and he made thousands of officers and soldiers frightened and scattered by himself......

"Huh...... Is it that powerful? ”

Chu Feiyan didn't believe Zhang Niujiao's words at all, but she didn't want to argue, so she just smiled slightly.

Zhang Niujiao said proudly: "Of course it's so powerful, is it necessary for me to blow it to you, brother?" Otherwise, how could I directly promote Brother Ran Min to my lieutenant general and regard him as the second leader of my lineage? Moreover, more than 15,000 of my brothers obeyed him. This martial art is really not blown, I think Xiang Yi is alive, and he may not be able to win my Ran Min brother! ”

Hearing that Zhang Niujiao directly promoted a person who had just known him for more than a month to become a deputy, Chu Feiyan couldn't help but be speechless. How to convince the public in such a way of employing people? It's better to find a chance to divide the stall with him, you want to attack the city and die, attack your city, I will go back to my Taihang to live a free life!

In any case, the Montenegrin army is a thief after all, and the court can allow you to fall into the grass and allow you to develop and grow in the mountain col. But if you want to conquer the city, or even capture the entire annexed state, the military hub, it is purely asking for hardship, even if the Han court is in the last years and survives, it will not sit idly by!

Because this is a naked/naked/naked challenge to the bottom line of the imperial court, in the face of the imperial court, it will also cause the dissatisfaction of the princes, if tens of thousands of troops come to conquer and besiege Jinyang City, I am afraid that the Montenegrin army will be wiped out. The remaining old and weak women and children on Taihang Mountain who have no ability to make a living are full of torment in the deep mountains and old forests, first eating tree bark, then grass roots, then people eating people, and finally slowly starving to death!

"Will be planning but not brave, the strength of one person is just the courage of the horseman, if you want to achieve the cause of the king, you also need to rely on the way of using soldiers! Ran Min rode alone to charge into battle, but he was just forced to do so, if he could choose, he would still be more willing to be a commander who transferred troops! ”

The conversation between Zhang Niujiao and Chu Feiyan attracted Ran Min's attention, and Le Ma turned around and said loudly. Full of energy, the voice is loud, and the left and right eardrums are buzzing.

Chu Feiyan was respectful to Zhang Niujiao, and would not be so polite to Ran Min. In any case, he is the second leader of hundreds of thousands of Montenegrin Army, and he also has 15,000 descendants and martial arts under him, how dare he speak to himself like this?

"Hmph...... Since you also said that you will not be brave in the plan, dare to ask why you boast about taking Jinyang City in one day? Why did you come to attack this Jinyang City? If you want to plunder, the surrounding county town and even the small county seat can be broken in one go, why choose Jinyang, which has high walls and thick walls, sufficient troops and a large population? Zhang Yan asked Ran Min with a sneer.

"Haha......"

Ran Min looked up to the sky and laughed, staring at Chu Feiyan with fierce beast-like eyes. For no reason, this big thief who has been licking blood for many years with a knife head is frightened, and he can't help but shudder, this look of choosing people to devour is really creepy!

"Why do you want to attack Jinyang City? Let someone sue you! ”

"Entrenched in the vast Taihang, although you can seek temporary stability, but in the end you are just a king of thieves. Now it is a troubled time, the Kwantung Army and the Xiliang Army have just finished fighting, the soldiers are sleepy and lacking, and everyone is tired of war! We just took this opportunity to take the important town of Jinyang, let the prestige of my Montenegrin Army shock the world, erect a banner, and attract the world's heroes to vote, there will inevitably be something to do, maybe we can achieve the cause of the king, is it comparable to the thieves living in the deep mountains? ”

After listening to Ran Min's words, Chu Feiyan said disapprerovingly: "After all, I'm still a grass coward, do you think that if you win a Jinyang City, you can let the heroes of the world vote?" ”

Ran Min stood tall proudly, and the double-edged spear in his hand pointed at the Jinyang City Tower not far away: "I break the city with the art of war, and I serve the world with martial arts!" If you have the courage of an overlord, why worry about no one coming to vote? Although Chu Qushuai looked at it with his eyes wide open, I Ran Min will take Jinyang for you within one day! ”
