If there is a force that is the strongest, it is also the most unpredictable and elusive to the opponent. There may be others, but reinforcements are definitely the most common and the strongest.
Reinforcements, in most cases, will play two roles at the same time. One is to encourage and improve the morale of one's own side, and the other is to damage the morale of the other side.
Especially when the two sides are in a stalemate, the arrival of reinforcements may change the direction of the entire battle...
Zhang Ji also experienced it personally, so he felt deeply about it. Therefore, Zhang Liao's reinforcements must be dealt with as the first priority. However, these Montenegrin troops are also very important. If left alone, it will be a disaster after all.
After much deliberation, Zhang Ji finally made up his mind, stared at Zhang Xiu closely, and said: "Jincheng, in terms of qualifications, you haven't reached the time to lead the army alone, but now there is an opportunity... I don't know if you
Do you dare or don’t you dare, and also, can you do it well!”
Zhang Xiu was so happy that he clapped his hands with a "bump" sound on the horse and said loudly: "Xiu will definitely live up to the trust of Captain Zhang!" He didn't call him uncle because this matter is of great importance now and belongs to the family.
Of course, when it comes to official matters, one cannot keep talking about putting his uncle in front of his face. At the same time, Zhang Xiu's statement also means that he will act in a courteous manner and will not be careless in the slightest.
Zhang Ji showed a slight smile, nodded, pointed at the noisy Black Mountain camp not far away with his spear, and said: "We are in need of help from far away, and I can't stay here for a long time, and the Black Mountain bandits are
You can't ignore it, so I will leave three hundred horses with you... If you have any ideas, please tell me quickly..."
Zhang Xiu rolled his eyes, thought for a moment, and said: "A certain person will divide the three hundred cavalry into two groups. If the Black Mountain bandits attack, a certain person will retreat without fighting; if they escape, a certain person will follow and send another person to report quickly.
General Xi..."
Zhang Ji laughed heartily and said: "If so, you have achieved a great success! A certain man from the Zhang family has now become a man! Be careful, he is gone!" After saying this, he left three hundred cavalrymen to lead the brigade.
The men and horses bypassed the Black Mountain Camp and headed for the Dry Bones Pass.
In the Heishan camp, Yang Feng and Wulu were also in panic. They finally calmed down the Heishan soldiers who were panicked because of the arrival of Zhang Ji and others, but they didn't know how they should respond.
"Okay, great! They're gone, gone!" Wulu stared at the movements of the Han army riding on the hills, waving his arms happily and said, "They are not coming towards us, they are just passing by!
"
For the Montenegrin Army, especially as they were all infantry, when facing more than a thousand cavalry, they could not fight and fight, and they could not escape. The feeling of powerlessness almost enveloped every Montenegrin Army. Now,
When I saw that the Han cavalry had taken a detour, I was naturally overjoyed.
"...Don't be so damn happy, there are still some!" Yang Feng pointed at Zhang Xiu's troops left on the hill and said, "...This is a state where they are preparing to keep a close eye on us...Say no.
Someone must have gone back to report the news by now,"
"Then... what should we do?" Wulu was a little flustered, and his brain was not working properly. He stared straight at Yang Feng, expecting Yang Feng to give him an idea.
Yang Feng was somewhat helpless when he heard this. Although Wulu was relatively brave, he didn't like to use his brain. Once this person got used to not using his brain, his brain became even slower. He always relied on others to make decisions for him, but now he doesn't like to use his brain.
The situation is that it is somewhat uncomfortable for him to hold it alone.
But so what?
Under Wulu's eager gaze, Yang Feng turned around several times, and finally said slowly: "...According to the current situation, I'm afraid we can't stay here. We have to leave and find another place to hide.
Get up... But once we move like this, the cavalry outside may not dare to fight, but they will definitely follow us... So... OK, let's go separately! We'll take advantage of the dark sky and poor visibility later.
Then he left suddenly and split into three groups to escape! At that time, even if the Han cavalry wanted to chase them, they would not know which one they were chasing!"
"What a great idea!" Wulu exclaimed. Of course, no matter what idea Yang Feng came up with, he would probably say the same thing. Anyway, he had no idea of his own.
"Uh, wait..." Wulu turned around and was about to distribute Yang Feng's idea. He took two steps but turned back and said, "...we dispersed...then where should we gather?"
?”
"Well..." Yang Feng rolled his eyes and said, "How about going like this, go near Yuanyin... There are many valleys and rivers over there, which are easy to walk on and easy to hide in!"
"Okay, okay!" Wu Lu nodded and said, "I see, in our Montenegro, apart from the commander-in-chief, you have the best idea, so let's do it!"
Yang Feng gritted his teeth, nodded stiffly, looked at Wulu's leaving figure, and then lowered his head.
It's okay not to mention the commander-in-chief. When Yang Feng mentioned this matter, his heart felt as if it was filled with sand and gravel, heavy and astringent.
How many days has passed since the originally agreed time?
It stands to reason that Zhang Yan's army should have arrived a long time ago, but up to now, there is still no trace, and it is not even close to here, otherwise the Han cavalry would not appear here with such arrogance!
Wulu was just a heartless fighting man, he just ate, drank, and slept. He didn't think too much about anything, and he probably didn't want to think too much about it, but Yang Feng couldn't think about it.
With the small amount of troops on hand, it is okay to make trouble and fish in troubled waters, but if you want to truly compete with General Fei Qian of Zhengxi on a frontal battlefield, isn't this a joke...
If Zhang Yan doesn't come, Yang Feng and Wulu will be alone here. The food and grass they brought out are almost eaten up. There are also people in the camp talking about something. They are in this wilderness all day long.
With no place to go for food and clothing, how could Yang Feng not be anxious?
Although Yang Feng and Wulu said it was easy, their instincts from licking blood from the knife edge for many years told him that this time the situation may not go completely according to Commander Zhang Yan's plan, and once Commander Zhang Yan's plan failed,
Then we can only escape back to Montenegro early, maybe there will be a glimmer of hope...
Yang Feng slowly raised his head and looked at Wulu's back, the expression on his face changing.
Wulu seemed to sense something was wrong, and slowly turned around and glanced at Yang Feng.
Yang Feng quickly squeezed out a smile and nodded towards Wulu.
Wu Lu scratched his head, then smiled at Yang Feng, then turned around again...
…………………………
Zhang Ji increased his horse speed and led the entire team of cavalry towards the Dry Bones Mountain Road. The entire team was like a sharp blade, pointing straight forward.
The Black Mountain bandits appeared nearby, which was not a good sign for Zhang Ji.
Although all military information before showed that Zhang Liao was still stationed at Dry Bones Pass, it was already very difficult. But now there are actually Black Mountain bandits near Dry Bones Mountain Road. Although they are just some remnants of infantry, their combat effectiveness is nothing more than this. But if
If you don't fight head-on and deliberately harass, if Zhang Liao's supplies are attacked, etc., it may lead to the defeat of Zhang Liao's entire army!
God damn thieves! Black Mountain thieves who can’t be killed!
Zhang Ji muttered.
General Zhengxi arrived at Yinshan a few days ago, and he breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that there should be no problems on this battlefield, but he didn't expect that such a trick would happen again!
You can use any number of tricks, but Zhang Liao's troops cannot afford to make any mistakes!
If Dry Bones Pass has fallen, then the Xianbei people will follow this mountain road and rush into the hinterland of Bingbei. General Zhengxi's large forces are all in the Yinshan Plain. Even if they want to turn around and rescue them, they may not be able to come in time!
However, after walking for a long time, there were no signs of defeat, and there were no corpses on both sides of the mountain road. This gave Zhang Ji some comfort. Judging from the situation, Dry Bones Pass should still be in Zhang Liao's hands.
I hope Zhang Liao is still here, I hope Dry Bones Pass is still in my hands!
…………………………
"This Xianbei spirit has not yet been extinguished..."
Originally, the Xianbei people were about to retreat, but the supplies allocated from the rear were delivered. Last night, the Xianbei people across the street were singing and dancing, slaughtering sheep and cooking meat, and they were so happy, but Zhang Liao and his men were a little lonely.
Although there were not many soldiers from Xianbei to help, they brought the most important supplies such as drinking water and arrows. Those pack horses were also an important supplement to the war horses that Xianbei had lost over time!
The situation suddenly turned bad.
Zhang Liao had not thought of taking advantage of Xianbei's celebration last night to lead a suicide squad to attack, but there were only a few remaining soldiers around him. Even Zhang Liao himself felt that it would be difficult to hold on any longer. After days of fighting between the two sides,
Zhang Liao has always been the most important core and has the heaviest burden. Especially among the Xianbei troops, there are some so-called Xianbei royal court warriors, who are really difficult to deal with. The physical hard work and fatigue have accumulated little by little, and now, to
If it weren't for the support of his iron-like will, I might have longed to lie down immediately and sleep with him.
Xianbei did not attack today.
This doesn't mean it's a good thing.
The Xianbei people on the opposite side were also exhausted. Although they had supplies, it did not mean that the fatigue of the personnel could be restored to the optimal level instantly.
Today we are not busy attacking, we are still focusing on defensive recovery. This shows how experienced and vicious the Xianbei commander on the opposite side is.
The next time we face Xianbei's attack, Xianbei, who has at least recovered to the seventh or eighth level, will attack with all his strength!
And here...
Zhang Liao knew that this Dry Bones Pass was extremely important. He took advantage of the Xianbei people's unsteady foothold to seize this place first, and then brought powerful crossbows to assist in the defense. It was only until today that he was able to rely on luck on the battlefield.
You still need to let your strength speak for itself.
Seeing the chaotic Xianbei camp in the distance, Zhang Liao just remained silent. Behind him, several personal guards stood and watched silently with him. These personal guards also suffered heavy losses.
, in order to protect Zhang Liao's safety, he even risked his own life to resist the Xianbei people's swords and guns...
A guard with a thick Bingbei accent asked in a low voice: "Captain, are we finished this time..."
Zhang Liao looked back at him and smiled: "How is that possible! Even if the Xianbei people come with some reinforcements, it still won't help! What's wrong, we are only allowed to bring the baggage ourselves, but the Xianbei people are not allowed to transport some grain and grass? Two
It is normal for the army to get some supplies during a battle. Besides, when we got supplies earlier, we didn’t see any flinching from the Xianbei people..."
Zhang Liao's eyes slowly swept over the faces of each of the soldiers around him. There were only a dozen or so personal guards around him. After several days of hard fighting, these personal guards who he had finally selected and trained with all his heart and soul
The private soldiers suffered serious damage. However, these personal guards saw that Zhang Liao had always taken the lead in fighting to the death without flinching, which also gave them great courage and repaid Zhang Liao and the others for all their loyalty.
Zhang Liao's voice gradually became louder: "How can we, the noble men of the Han family, be compared to these Xianbei barbarians! These Xianbei people think that our land of Bingzhou is still a place where they can come and leave whenever they want.
With hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, they can roar south and scare us, but they are all wrong! As long as you good men of the Han family are here, these Xianbei barbarians can't even think of doing whatever they want! Attack and fight for days.
, these Xianbei people suffered heavy casualties, but they could not take an inch further! Now they had to gather people and horses and send baggage, so they got some breathing space... However, the reinforcements from our General Zhengxi are also on their way, as long as
If we stick to this place, victory will definitely belong to us, the sons of the Han family!"
"General Zhengxi!" Someone responded in a low voice.
"Yes!" Others murmured, "There is also General Zhengxi!"
"General Zhengxi's reinforcements must be on the way. I believe that I can understand the danger and key of this place. General Zhengxi also understands this truth! The Xianbei people dare to stretch their claws. Over the years, only General Zhengxi has
Lead us to cut off these claws! We are recovering our land in Bingzhou! If Xianbei dares to set foot on the land of the Han family, give them a head-on blow! Beat them to a great defeat, and beat them to the point where they abandon their armor.
Beat them until they can only bury their bones in a foreign land!"
Zhang Liao's voice echoed on the Dry Bones Pass, as if he was speaking to all the soldiers, but also to himself, "...not to mention...look at the brothers who are already lying on one side...what else?"
So scary? Isn’t it just death? Brothers are with you! Mr. Zhang is also with you! In the northern suburbs of Pingyang, on the side of Taoshan, there is also the Han Family Yingling Hall. Even if we die here, General Zhengxi will still do it.
Help us to return to our hometowns and rest in peace! You and I will have a tablet with a name engraved on it, four seasons and five animals, enjoy the incense, return our souls, and be respected by the world! There will be glory for thousands of generations!"
While Shan Lan was sobbing, everyone was silent. Those who could stand tried their best to straighten their backs, and those who couldn't stand tried their best to hold on to the crenellations to support their bodies, just like the Han family's fence, and like this continuous chain.
Qingshan...
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted loudly: "Colonel Zhang! Look! There is smoke behind us!"
When everyone looked back, they saw yellow dust rising high between the mountain roads. A three-color flag unique to General Zhengxi stood out among the smoke and dust...
