Chapter 679

After careful discussion with the leaders of the black mountain army, Zhang Yan decided to divide the troops into two groups. Although Zhaojia village has been owned by an alien, the people of Zhaojia village moved south this time and didn't bring much goods, so Zhang Yan decided to send someone to capture Zhaojia village and seize the goods inside. As for the troops sent, Zhang Yan thought about it and asked Zhang Baiqi to lead 5000 troops to attack. Although Zhang Baiqi was reluctant, as Zhang Yan's confidant, he did not dare to go against Zhang Yan's meaning.

As for the interception of the brigade, Zhang Yan also knows that she can't be tough, she can only think of a way to win by cleverness.

Today's Changshan state, Zhongshan state and Zhao state can be said to be complicated. Han Fu, Yuan Shao and Heishan thieves all have cities under their control. Although several counties in the north of Zhao state are controlled by the Heishan army, their control is limited to the counties, and the surrounding areas are more complicated.

In fact, it's very simple to know the route of Zhaojia village's southward migration. Now the northern part of Julu is under the control of Yuan Shaojun, so they can't be too close to Julu. In this way, you can only cross the river between the house and Gaoyi, then go all the way south to Zhongqiu, and finally reach Xiangguo.

Today, Xiangguo is completely under the control of Han Fu's army. Han Tong, a general of Han Fu, is stationed here. Zhao Jiacun and his party must arrive to the west of the mainland to be safe. So if Zhang Yan wants to do it, she must do it in the distance before they reach Zhongqiu.

After arranging the affairs of all the troops, with Zhang Yan's command, the army set out towards the set goal. Zhang Baiqi led 5000 troops to attack zhaojiacun, while Zhang Yan led the other 50000 troops to follow the direction of zhaojiacun's southward migration.

Of course, while catching up, Zhang Yan also sent someone to inform the city controlled by the party along the way, so that they could delay the journey of the team as much as possible. I thought it would be no problem for him to send people to delay the journey of the motorcade, but when he arrived at Shiyi county and saw that the guard general sent the city to harass the taxi soldiers, he knew that he had underestimated the power of the cavalry.

After receiving Zhang Yan's order, Shiyi's general ordered two thousand men to leave the city and prepare to harass the motorcade. However, as soon as he left the city, he was watched by the other party's cavalry. Less than ten miles away from the city, he was defeated by the other party's cavalry. Only a few generals escaped because of their horses. After that, they did not dare to send troops out of the city any more.

By the time Zhang Yan's army arrived, the motorcade had already arrived 20 miles east of Shiyi and set up a camp. Seeing this, Zhang Yan sent several waves of people to inquire about the situation of the camp, but one by one, they were like beating dogs with meat buns - they had no choice but to give up in the end.

By the time Zhang Yan's army arrived at Shiyi, Zhang Bai's 5000 troops had also arrived at Zhaojia village, which should now be called two Li to the west of Zhaojia town.

Looking at the town in front of him, Zhang Baiqi didn't pay attention to it. A town with more than ten thousand people has moved most of it. How many people can there be in it, let alone soldiers and horses. Seeing that it was going to be dark, Zhang Baiqi thought that he might be able to attack the town at one stroke and catch up with Yan Shuai's army in the South tomorrow.

At the thought of this, Zhang Baiqi was also enthusiastic. With his command, a chieftain led a thousand men's team to attack the town. After so many years, the black mountain army is no longer the yellow scarf army of that year. Although it can't compare with the soldiers and horses in the court, it also has the appearance of an army.

Knowing that he was going to attack the town, Zhang Baiqi's army carried simple siege equipment. With Zhang Baiqi's order, the ready equipment was handed over to the attacking taxi soldiers, and then the army slowly approached the town wall.

Above the town wall, Zhao Cen looked at the black mountain bandits under the wall and said with a sneer: "although the mob is better than the yellow scarf bandits, it's just that."

Zhao CEN is an old man in Dong Zhuo's army. He participated in the expedition of the yellow scarf army together in those years, so he also knows the strength of the yellow scarf army. Looking at these bandit soldiers in front of us, although they are much better than they were in those years, they are not as good as the guards under our Lord's command, let alone facing the 500 yuan crossbow soldiers in our hands.

I think of what I said to myself before the Army division left that we should subdue the bandits once more, and then let the strange people subdue them again. Only in this way can we succeed. Although he didn't fully understand the reason, he also understood that the military always respected the strong. I think that's what the military adviser said. Just like his master said, if you don't accept, you will be beaten until you are convinced.

With this purpose, Zhao CEN is ready to attack the black mountain bandits after 90 steps. The attack distance of Yuanrong crossbow is 100 steps, plus the bonus of town level wall, which is even more terrifying 110 steps. So this 20 step distance is enough to bring all the 1 000 black mountain troops into the coverage of the arrows.

"The crossbow man is ready. Put the enemy in 80 steps before attacking!" Zhao Cen said to the messenger beside him;

"the general has orders, put the enemy into 80 steps before attacking!"

"The general has orders

As the messenger passed on the order, the guards everywhere lowered the prepared crossbow again, waiting for the enemy to enter the attack area.The quiet situation on the wall makes Zhang Baiqi outside the town confused about what happened. However, he sees his taxi soldiers approaching the wall, but there is still no movement on the wall. He thought that he really met a soft persimmon, and he was still secretly proud. After he quickly captured the town, he could start to catch up with Marshal Yan's army early tomorrow morning.

Just as Zhang Baiqi was thinking about Zhang Yan and the generals of the Heishan army, he saw his expression when he suddenly appeared, the wall suddenly rose.

Just heard a loud shout: "crossbow hand, ten shots, launch!"

Immediately after that, Zhang Bai's riders saw that black clouds suddenly came out of the wall and rushed towards the attacking soldiers outside the wall. Then, one after another screams rang out in the crowd.

"No, it's a crossbow!" Soon some generals in the army saw it and cried out;

it's a pity that it's too late at this time. After a round of crossbows, the second round came quickly, and then the third round, the fourth round, the fifth round...

After waiting for ten rounds of arrows, Zhang Baiqi and others found that none of the 1000 soldiers in front of them were still standing there, and now they were all lying on the ground.

At this time, they are at least 60 or 70 steps away from the wall.
