The current situation is very unfavorable for Zhang Yan. If the cavalry and the front army had not been defeated, they could still rely on this new force to break the predicament, but now that their support is gone, there is no other way but to escape.
"Okay, as you said, the whole army will be broken into pieces and retreat towards Wulu Dazhai."
Zhang Yan gave the order, and the rest of the Montenegrin army, except for those who were fighting, immediately turned around and ran away. This kind of running was not an organized run, but a disintegrating and disintegrating run in groups of three to five.
Zhang Yan and Lin Du abandoned their horses, and under the protection of a group of personal guards, they opened a passage and plunged into the forest.
Although Zhang Yan had escaped, the ambush still lasted for a long time. It lasted for two hours. More than 20,000 of Zhang Yan's 110,000 troops were killed on the spot, and nearly 30,000 were captured. The remaining 50,000 people were all Scuds.
Level, disappeared from Yuan Shu's sight.
"Military advisor, this battle is glorious."
Yuan Shu rode his horse to the mountain where Tian Feng was, looking at the battlefield in front of him, his face was full of smiles.
"Well, this battle is not the key, the next step is the key.
Zhang Yan suffered heavy losses in this battle. He will definitely not defend Wulu Dazhai anymore.
After gathering the skirmishers, they will definitely evacuate to Dazhai as soon as possible. Now they should order Zilong to lead Yingyang's army to rush there immediately.
In this way, he will inevitably divide his troops to garrison Wulu Village, preventing the entire army from retreating, and it will also reduce Jushou's burden."
Although Tian Feng said this, he was actually worried that Jushou could not arrive in time. In this case, Zhang Yan would be able to return directly to the stronghold with an army of 50,000, and it would be more difficult for them to attack.
"Well, as you said, I ordered Ying Yang's army to rush to Wulu Village with all its strength."
"promise."
Yingyang's army did not rest and charged directly towards Wulu Dazhai.
Zhang Yan fled in embarrassment, but he also gathered 30,000 to 40,000 remaining soldiers along the way, crossed Yujiangen Dazhai, and returned to Wulu Dazhai.
"Your Majesty, the walls of Wulu Dazhai are low and it is not suitable to hold on. The top priority is to return to the main village and stand firm. Yuan Shu's army has come from afar and cannot last long. As long as we can block their offensive,
At the same time, we sent envoys to Gongsun Zan in Youzhou and Dong Zhuo in Chang'an to show how powerful we are. They will definitely not sit still and wait for death. Yuan Shu will definitely withdraw his troops by then, and we will also get a chance to breathe."
Arriving at Wulu Dazhai, Lin Du put forward his own suggestions to Zhang Yan.
"Okay, send envoys immediately to Gongsun Zan and Dong Zhuo. At the same time, send a scout to Qingzhou to meet Guan Hai and Sima Ju and ask them to send troops to attack Leling and Pingyuan counties to support us."
"promise."
"Your Majesty, Yuan Shu's Ying Yang Army is coming to kill us."
Zhang Yan was about to order the withdrawal of troops, but he heard the news that Zhao Yun had arrived with his army.
"Come so fast?"
Zhang Yan couldn't help but frown.
"Your Majesty, you can leave 10,000 troops and horses to defend the city. Zhao Yun's cavalry will definitely be unable to pass through. The rest of the troops can immediately withdraw to the stronghold."
Although Lin Du frowned, he also proposed a solution.
"As you said, Zhang Hui, you lead 10,000 troops to defend the city, and the rest will follow me back to our base."
"promise."
After leaving the garrison behind, Zhang Yan led tens of thousands of remaining soldiers and headed north towards his own Dazhai.
"Military advisor, we discovered the enemy, which numbered about 30,000 people and more than 2,000 cavalry. They are suspected to be Zhang Yan's troops."
The scout half-knelt in front of Jushu and reported to him the situation ahead.
"Okay, tell the whole army to prepare and follow my orders to rise up and kill the enemy."
"promise."
There is a cold wind blowing all year round in Yezhu Ridge, and everyone breaks into a cold sweat when they go inside.
"The whole army is speeding through, and I feel like someone is staring at me from behind."
Zhang Yan glanced into the distance and saw everything in the distance. There was no ambush at all, but there were some rustling sounds in the dense forest on both sides.
"My lord, you are worrying too much. This is the rear of the battlefield. There is no way Yuan Shu could ambush here. As for the wolves you said are staring at you, it is probably the legendary wolf pack in this area."
Lin Du shook his head. The Yingyang Army was blocked by Zhang Hui outside the Wulu Village. Yuan Shu's troops had absolutely no time to bypass the village and ambush in the Wild Boar Ridge. If that was the Prophet, but this was simply not the case.
Impossible.
"No matter what else, be careful not to make a big mistake, and order the entire army to speed up."
"promise."
Zhang Yan's remnant army had no fighting spirit. After listening to Zhang Yan's words, they accelerated immediately, hoping to pass Yeboar Ridge quickly.
"kill."
Jushou didn't have any extra words, he just said the word "kill". The Xiliang army, militia, and prisoner army all rushed out from the mountains and forests on both sides and killed Zhang Yan.
"The cavalry and I quickly evacuated, and the rest of the troops broke into pieces and retreated towards Dazhai."
Hearing the shouts of killing from both sides, Zhang Yan knew it was over. Although he didn't know where the enemy came from, he still had green hills left and was not afraid of running out of firewood. In order to survive, he could only abandon his soldiers.
Flee to the village at full speed.
"promise."
More than two thousand Black Mountain cavalry and one thousand of Zhang Yan's personal guards led Zhang Yan and Lin Du away from the team, avoiding pursuit and speeding towards the Black Mountain stronghold.
"Prairie Cavalry, charge."
Zhang Yan and Lin Du had just escaped when Gao Lan, who was ambushing outside, rushed over with his cavalry. Zhang Yan's army of more than 30,000 people originally wanted to resist, but when they saw the cavalry attacking, they all knelt down and begged for mercy without hesitation.
"Military advisor, do you want me to hunt down Zhang Yan?"
The battle started quickly and ended even faster. Gao Lan rode to Jushou's side and looked at the direction Zhang Yanyuan was going with a burning feeling.
"No, you have to let Yan Liang show off, otherwise wouldn't all these arrangements be a waste?"
Jushu rejected Gao Lan. There was Yan Liang in front of him, Zhang Yan couldn't escape, and after repeated failures, Zhang Yan's heart would break. A living Zhang Yan was more effective than a dead Zhang Yan. I believe Yan Liang would not let him.
Disappoint yourself.
"promise."
Every word and action of Jushu was profound, and Gao Lan believed him, so he didn't ask any more questions.
"Your Majesty, Yuan Shu has too many talented people under his command, so we lost."
Although he escaped by chance, Lin Du was extremely frustrated. In the past few days, they had been directly defeated and defeated by Yuan Shu. No one could defeat such an enemy.
"Haha, there are many capable people? I don't believe in defeat. If I were Yuan Shu, I would ambush a soldier outside Dazhai, so that I can capture Zhang Yan, the leader of Black Mountain."
Zhang Yan did not admit defeat, however. Looking at the path, he saw that it was only ten miles away from his home village. As long as he could step through here, everything would be fine.
Ten miles, eight miles, five miles.
"Zhang Yan, Yan Liang has been waiting for you here for a long time."
A group of soldiers and horses appeared instantly and stopped in front of Zhang Yan's 3,000 remnant troops. It was Yan Liang who was ambushing here and his 30,000 soldiers and horses.
"No, this is impossible. Why are you here, Yan Liang? Aren't you supposed to be in Changshan? I still have an army of 60,000 and 30,000 barbarian cavalry. You shouldn't be here, you shouldn't be here."
