Chapter 238 Scare Zhang Yan away
On the east side of Yanmenguan, about seven or eight miles away, among the continuous mountains, a large group of people were lying here, secretly watching.
On a small hillside, there were several people standing in the center. Zhang Yan, the leader of the Black Mountain Army, who has now grown to nearly 200,000.
"General Zhang, we have collected 50,000 stones of grain and grass from those families. Why can't we delay the entry after we marched here?"
Yang Feng asked.
"Brother Yang has never dealt with this Liu He. This guy is very tricky and can't be defended. Look, what kind of military appearance of the Xianbei cavalry is? If we were us, we would have become a fan now. However, he was on the verge of guarding the enemy with a certain basis for advancement and retreat, and forced the Xianbei people to suffer heavy casualties, but they could not touch the city gate. I think I'd better wait."
In this battle with the Xianbei, the Han Wuzhang, Shenji Camp, Zijin Dragon Cavalry, and Zhang Yan were all impressed. They were these three troops at the beginning, and the Golden Sword Camp almost killed Yanmen. But now that they have not seen each other for a while, the combat effectiveness of these troops seems to be three points stronger.
He thought so, but the other generals around him had never seen the horror of these troops, so he was a little puzzled.
"General Zhang, we agreed to others after all. If we keep watching like this, I'm afraid it's hard to explain to those powerful people."
"Yes, our Heishan Army was able to run rampant in Hebei and the two places. In the final analysis, we have contacted some powerful families. What we usually attack were mainly the government, the people, and a small number of powerful people. If we offend them all because of this incident, our lives will not be easy in the future."
"I think the Yanmen defenders are strong, but they are not invincible. Now they are in a stalemate with the Xianbei army. As long as our 70,000 to 80,000 people suddenly attack the gate on the south side of Yanmen Pass, they will definitely not be able to look after each other. Even if Liu He is a god descending to earth, he will not be able to escape defeat!"
Zhang Yan was already confused, and was so upset that they were talking nonsense.
"Okay, okay, you all want to fight, then fight!"
Zhang Yan walked down the hillside and issued a military order, and the army rushed towards the south.
Yang Feng was originally a bandit leader who used the banner of the Yellow Turban Army to rob families and had a troops of thousands of people. Not long ago, he followed Mr. Guo and surrendered to Zhang Yan.
Now he has returned to his troops and is ready to march together.
At this time, the two of them ran over and came to his side.
One of the men who looked a little older said, "General, who are we going to fight? Why am I confused?"
Another younger one said: "Brother, what's the confusion about this? The two sides were fighting, one was the Yanmen border army of the court, and the other was the Xianbei Huqi. Since we are Han people, of course we have to help the officers and soldiers fight against the Xianbei people."
The older one nodded: "Well, that's true. Although we are against the court, we have no choice but to do so. These Xianbei people are cruel and not really a thing, so it's important to beat them up first."
Yang Feng glared at them, then sighed again.
"You two, don't talk nonsense. We have collected other people's food and salary this time, and we will teach us to attack the Yanmen defenders from behind."
"What, this...how does this make!"
Yang Feng shook his head: "I also know that if this is done, it will definitely leave a stigma forever. I, Yang Feng, thinks that I am not a good person, but I am not willing to do such a despicable thing. But now I can't help myself. If I just become a deserter, we will never have a foothold in Hebei and the two places in the future. In order to survive, we don't care about so much."
But these two people refused to do anything.
"No, no, I'm going to do this matter of selling the country and seeking honor, my brothers would rather die than do it!"
Yang Feng glanced at him and said, "Boming, I know the nature of you and your second brother. Although you have only been in favour of me for half a year, you don't say you hate evil, but every time you go out to grab food and money, you are always restrained. Each family only withdraws a little money and grain. When you meet a poor family, you will let them go and never kill anyone. I, Yang Feng, admire you too. But these brothers behind me point at me for dinner. What do you want me to do?"
Their heads were still shaking like rattles.
"No, you can discuss anything else, but this matter is absolutely not possible! If General Yang insists on going, my brothers and I can only leave!"
After saying that, the two of them turned around and prepared to leave.
Yang Feng suddenly became a little anxious.
"Come back! OK, when we fight later, we shouted loudly and tried to do as little as possible. Is this OK?"
The two seemed to be hesitant.
Yang Feng continued, "I saved your brothers' lives. I treat you very well on weekdays. Now you don't agree to such a request?"
As he said this, Yang Feng's face soon became gloomy.
The person who looked like a big brother agreed.
"Okay, General Yang said so, and I, Xu Yi, don't let me, do not agree."
"Brother, you..."
"Okay, Gongming, General Yang is our savior after all, so just repay his kindness. Anyway, just talk and not take action, it is not considered a betrayal of loyalty and righteousness."
The second brother was still reluctant, but seeing that the elder brother said so, he couldn't say anything more. He just kept lowering his head and holding the big axe's right hand couldn't help but pinch it tighter.
Zhang Yan's army soon arrived south of Yanmen Pass.
"Okay, the city gate is right in front of you. There are indeed not many defenders on the city wall. As long as we rush over, we can quickly capture them and set off!"
With Zhang Yan's order, the 70,000 army suddenly made a deafening cry of killing.
In Zhang Yan's eyes, the city walls were getting closer and closer, and the trees beside him became more and more sparse, and the original worry in his heart gradually dissipated.
"It seems that Liu He is indeed not at all prepared for this time. Haha, I will take revenge today!"
Zhang Yan was overjoyed and couldn't help but urge the army behind her.
"Hurry, run faster!"
Among the Black Mountain soldiers, although most of them couldn't figure out why this battle was fought, it was just that Zhang Yan said that there would be food after the battle, so when he heard the order of attack, they were not polite.
Yang Fengzheng took the soldiers under his tent and left and stopped. Just now, the two brothers seemed to have discovered something wrong.
The second brother said, "General Yang, I think the situation is wrong. Yanmen Pass is such an important pass. Even if the border army is not prepared on the south side, our army should not have responded at all on the city wall and within the pass."
After he said this, Yang Feng also realized this.
"You mean..."
Before he could say the second half of the sentence, a shocking cry suddenly rang from all directions!
"Catch Zhang Yan alive! Capture Zhang Yan alive!"
Accompanied by these shouts, flags stood up and fluttered in the wind.
"The Liu flag! The Guan flag! I've fallen into the trap again!"
Zhang Yan was immediately frightened and all three souls flew away.
A very burly general rode out with a silver spear.
"Old thief Zhang Yan, you colluded with the powerful and offended me by Yanmen. My general has known this for a long time. I am here to wait for you! Your death is coming today, haha!"
Zhang Yan was too lazy to see what the person looked like. How many troops were behind him? He could only hear the sounds around him, and the flags were dense, so he was already scared and his heart was broken.
"Retreat! Retreat! Hurry!"
While shouting, he pulled his horse's head and rushed behind him.
