Brother Zhang Yi did not rush to kill them. The warriors were enough to deal with these cavalry, and their combat power was not at the same level.
Little China's cavalry fled, screaming like wolves crying and ghosts howling.
Xiao Liu clapped his hands and laughed, as happy as a child, and said: "Brother Da Niu, your iron fist is unexpected and very powerful. Brother Xiao Shi's power is too great, only a fool dares to fight hard. Brother Wang Zheng, I know, always It's a long sword in one hand and an iron spear in the other, it's hard to resist!"
Her praise made the brothers burst into laughter.
Niu Ben improved his iron fist. He added an iron chain under his fist and hung the other end on the belt around his waist. This way he could use it as a fist and also as a meteor hammer. Once it was swung in a circle, it could move the iron fist within a radius of one foot. No one can get close.
Zhang Yi arranged: "Xiaolong, Xiao Han, you lead 20,000 horses to the rear. After the king has rested, escort the king to Black Mountain. We will seize the commanding heights first."
Xiaolong and Xiao Han took the order. When it came to charging into battle, Xiaoshi and Wang Zheng were better at it. When it came to being thoughtful, they were the two of them. Therefore, the important task of protecting the king was given to them.
Zhang Yi and others led an army of 40,000 people from the north, followed closely by the warriors of Mopan City, and marched forward.
The warriors of Mopan City pursued them all the way and annihilated more than half of Little China's cavalry. They did not stop until the bugle call for withdrawal sounded from behind.
Zhang Yi saw a plain ahead, surrounded by mountains. A huge mountain stood tall, guarding the mountain road leading to Chang'an.
That's Montenegro.
There is a small river flowing on the plain, and tens of thousands of people from Little China are resting by the river, looking leisurely and contented. In a few days, they have penetrated deep into the hinterland of Old China and conquered two big cities. They were so satisfied that they mistakenly thought that Old China was in civil strife. No longer able to fight back.
The vanguard fled in defeat, causing an uproar immediately.
Coach Yang Ting was sitting in the tent enjoying refreshments and was being flattered by a group of generals. At this moment, when he saw the forwards escaping from the mountain pass in embarrassment, exclaiming all the way, he was extremely surprised. He put down the tea cup in his hand, picked up the telescope and walked out of the tent to observe.
I saw a mighty cavalry team pursuing them to the mountain pass and stopped their horses.
They didn't look like old Chinese people. He went to take a closer look at the flag. There was a white dragon painted on the yellow flag, a round coiled dragon. This was clearly the flag of Mopan City!
Yang Ting was quite surprised. Although he had never been to the Mopan City area, he heard Yuzhou Governor Lu Wang describe the situation in Mopan City in detail and knew what their flags looked like.
Yang Ting was afraid of Mopan City.
Commander Du Lin of Great China led 50,000 troops to attack Wanchunzhai, but was defeated by Zhang Yi. Later, General Liu Guangda, an old Chinese general, led 100,000 troops to attack Mopan City, but failed.
It can be seen that Mopan City is very powerful and cannot be provoked.
Little China coach Yang Ting temporarily gave up his plan to attack the Mopancheng area.
He knew that in exchange for Zhang Yi going to Chang'an alone as a hostage, King Liu Kai promised to guarantee the neutral status of the Mopan City area. He also knew that King Liu Kai reused Zhang Yi and asked him to preside over the reform, which aroused Wu's Prime Minister Rui rebelled and the country fell into division.
The senior officials of Little China believed that this was an excellent opportunity to attack Old China, so they made a truce with Greater China and dispatched 80,000 elite troops to march westward, under the personal command of Marshal Yang Ting.
Yang Ting was not aware of the latest changes in the situation.
On the one hand, because the expedition went extremely smoothly, intelligence collection was relaxed. On the other hand, after Zhang Yi quelled the rebellion, Chang'an's city defense was strengthened, and the entry and exit of personnel was strictly controlled, so information was naturally blocked.
"Unexpectedly, after Zhang Yi took refuge with Liu Kai, he mobilized Mopan City troops to deal with us." Yang Ting put down the telescope, shook his head and sighed, this is not a good thing.
"Commander, don't worry. There are only a few thousand people in Mopan City who can fight. If we destroy them in one battle, wouldn't Mopan City be easily accessible?" Deng Yun, a general next to him, said with a smile.
"It seems that Wu Rui's rebellion must have failed. Liu Kai seems to be still alive. Otherwise, Zhang Yi would not send troops to deal with us without authorization!" Chief of Staff Fu Xiang speculated, "No, Commander, once they hold back
Heishan, if we want to go to Chang'an, we have to take a detour of hundreds of miles."
"Chief of Staff Fu thinks highly of the bandit army. How can a group of bandits have such strategic vision?" General Deng Yun said disdainfully.
Yang Ting picked up the telescope and took another look. A group of people from Mopan City were climbing up the Black Mountain, obviously with the intention of guarding this mountain.
"General Deng, you immediately lead 10,000 troops to seize Montenegro, and take control of it at all costs!" Marshal Yang Ting ordered. The food and grass carried for this expedition are limited, and a detour of several hundred miles will ruin the plan to quickly seize Chang'an.
, into trouble.
General Deng Yun took the order and went forward with a trace of ridicule on his lips. It was absolutely impossible for thousands of bandits to stop the advance of the army.
…
Zhang Yi and others ran to the foot of Black Mountain and ordered two thousand Mopan City warriors to climb up the mountain and move stones to build fortifications. After the defense of Mopan City, the warriors knew the importance of fortifications and started working.
Come for extra effort.
The remaining four thousand warriors formed a square formation at the foot of the mountain.
The 40,000 northern troops are still rushing behind, but they are only a few miles away.
"It's so dangerous, Brother Yi, they will take control of Montenegro if they are too late. These stupid guys, they think they are sure to win!" Xiaoliu said happily.
Zhang Yi and his brothers all laughed. With Xiaoliu joining the battle, marching and fighting suddenly became full of fun. The cruel battlefield atmosphere was always diluted by her optimistic words. At the same time, the morale of the soldiers was extremely high.
"They are careless," Zhang Yi said, "If it weren't for Father's advice, we would never have thought of seizing this strategic location. Brothers, no matter what, hold the Black Mountain and trap them for a few days, and then we will defeat the enemy on the plains!
"
"That's right, Brother Yi, this is the closest road to Chang'an. We came at the right time." Wang Zheng laughed.
While he was talking, he saw a commotion among the enemies on the plain, and 80,000 horses began to gather. A group of cavalry ran out from among them, charging towards the Black Mountain with great force.
"Give them a warning and dampen their spirit!" Zhang Yi said, and he quickly made arrangements.
General Wang Zheng led a thousand men and horses to block the frontal attack, while Niu Ben and Shi Gandang each led a thousand warriors to outflank the enemy from both sides.
The sound of war drums sounded like thunder. Three thousand warriors went out to fight with majestic momentum.
"The ox is coming, pay back the debt!"
"I am the one who can take the stone from the Three Mountains of Zhen. If you want to die, come and do it!"
"Long live my king, charge bravely! The king is here, anyone who stands in my way will die!"
The three brothers reported to their respective families and rushed to the front of the three teams with great momentum.
Xiaoliu shouted for support. She was full of confidence in these brothers and warriors, and complained: "Brother Yi, why don't you let me charge?" There were so many military orders that she didn't dare to move without orders, and she felt that Niu Ben's shouting was very strange.
Strange, "Do they owe Daniel any money?"
Zhang Yi explained: "Daniu used to collect debts for others, but he is used to it."
Now Xiaoliu knew that this brother was really honest and cute.
In just a few words, the cavalry from both sides collided with each other, and their swords and swords met, causing them to overturn their horses.
