Chapter 676 Black Mountain Zhang Yan
In a large mountain stronghold in the middle of Jingxing Road in Changshan State, Zhang Yan was having dinner with his subordinates. As they ate, they talked about the harvest of each stronghold this year. As the leader of the Black Mountain Army, Zhang Yan did not stay in a county town occupied by the Black Mountain Army, but built a main stronghold in the mountains, guarding the main stronghold himself and handing over the surrounding cities to him.
It was for this reason that the Black Mountain Army admired Zhang Yan and obeyed his words.
At this moment, hurried footsteps sounded outside the door, and then one of Zhang Yan's guards rushed in, walked quickly to Zhang Yan's side and said: "Big leader, the brothers outside the mountain sent back news that the Zhaojia Village that the big boss asked the brothers to pay attention to is indeed problematic. This afternoon, a cavalry under the banner of General Pingdong entered the village. It is said that there are tens of thousands of cavalry."
As he said, the man handed the news back to Zhang Yan and others. Zhang Yan and the leaders who saw the news suddenly had bright eyes.
The Black Mountain Army and Huangfu Chaobo can be said to be mortal enemies who will never stop until they die. Now they heard that Zhaojia Village in their territory has a close relationship with Huangfu Chaobo. How can the Black Mountain Army not be angry. Qing Niu Jiao and Zhang Baiqi jumped up and said, "General Yan, gather everyone to send troops and destroy this damn Zhaojia Village first."
"Yes, yes..." Their words were immediately agreed by Lei Gong, Huang Long and others. Several people also stood up and asked Zhang Yan to send troops. The rest of the people were also in a rage.
Among them, there was a wise man who said, "Brothers, the other side now has tens of thousands of cavalry. It's not too late for us to figure out the situation before sending troops. Besides, that town will not run away."
After a moment of silence, Zhang Yan stood up and said, "Brothers, no matter what, we still have to be prepared. So, pass the order down, let the brothers have a full meal tonight, and then everyone will lead the people to set off overnight and go to Jingxingkou to meet up. We will make arrangements at that time."
When everyone heard this, they didn't say anything more, and said goodbye and left, preparing to go back to gather their own troops to meet up.
The next morning, just after dawn, Zhaojia Town began to get busy, making fire and cooking, and loading the already packed gifts. After nearly half an hour, the caravan finally set off.
The first to set off were Hu Yandu's cavalry, who would be divided into several groups and cruise around the caravan. Zhao Yun's Baima Yicong and other soldiers and horses from Huangfu Chaobo's personal guard camp guarded the caravan.
Because there were too many people, there were many old and weak people in the middle who were not suitable for fast travel, so even though Huangfu Chaobo repeatedly emphasized the abandonment of those heavy items, there were still nearly 400 ox carts and horse carts in the end. Of course, in addition to the old and weak women, these cars also had the money and food needed along the way.
In the stunned eyes of the players around Zhaojia Village, one carriage after another drove out of the village, and then headed southeast under the escort of 3,000 infantrymen and more than 10,000 cavalry. Then, the gate of Zhaojia Village was seen slowly closing, and the figures of soldiers and players appeared on the wall.
The players around were all wondering when Zhaojia Village would allow players to enter. Just when someone was about to go into the village to take a look, they found that there were constantly Zilonghui players rushing to Zhaojia Village. After they arrived at the entrance of the village, they entered the village without being blocked, and combined with the players on the village wall. At this time, everyone realized that Zhaojia Village had changed its owner quietly.
While everyone was surprised that Zhaojia Village had changed people, several people in the crowd saw the convoy winding to the southeast. Several people looked at each other, and then two people quietly withdrew from the crowd and went to a territory in the west, while several others went in the direction where the convoy left.
At this time, less than fifty miles west of Zhaojia Village, there was a place called Luquan Town. This is the only way to enter Jingxing Road, and it is also the place where the Black Mountain Army guards the gate. After a night of rapid march, Zhang Yan had led his 20,000 troops to Luquan Town.
At this time, the soldiers were resting in the barracks in the town, while Zhang Yan was waiting for news from outside in a prepared house.
After the battle in Luoyang, the Black Mountain Army was seriously injured. It took Zhang Yan several years to retrain more than 100,000 troops. Except for some subordinates assigned to him to take charge of various cities, he only had 60,000 soldiers under his control. These were the most elite soldiers in the Black Mountain Army. Although they could not be compared with the Yellow Turban Warriors of the year, they had reached the level of the seventh or even eighth level.
This time, Zhang Yan did not go out almost in full force like last time, but only led 20,000 soldiers. After arriving here, Zhang Yan waited for the news to come back while waiting for the troops of the other Black Mountain Army generals to join. Because he heard that the other side had tens of thousands of cavalry, Zhang Yan did not dare to act rashly before getting accurate information.
In the morning, soldiers continued to enter Luquan Town. The first to arrive were Huang Long and Bai Bo, who were stationed in Jingxing County. They led a total of 5,000 soldiers, of which only about 1,000 were elite seventh-level soldiers, and the remaining 4,000 were ordinary Yellow Turban soldiers.
After the system was updated, the types of soldiers in the Yellow Turban camp were also changed, basically the same as those in the court camp, but in comparison, there were two more special types of soldiers: Yellow Turban Taoists and Yellow Turban Warriors.
By noon, the number of Luquan's soldiers and horses had reached 60,000, and some were rushing here. The news from Zhaojia Village also came, and what made everyone excited was that Zhaojia Village had become the territory of aliens, and all the people in Zhaojia Village left Zhending under the escort of cavalry.
According to the news sent back, the number of people who left Zhaojia Village was about 10,000. According to the news learned before, the population of Zhaojia Village was about 10,000. It seems that the people in Zhaojia Village also implied something, so they decided to leave.
"But do you really think it will be so easy to escape?" Zhang Yan said in his heart;
However, it is said that there are 20,000 cavalry, which is a very tricky problem. Thinking back to the beginning, he and others lost to cavalry in Luoyang. This time, it was cavalry again, and there were tens of thousands of them. But if the people of Zhaojia Village were allowed to leave this time, it is estimated that in the future, he and others would basically have no chance to find trouble with Huangfu Chaobo.
After careful consideration, Zhang Yan was reluctant to waste such an opportunity, so he summoned all the leaders of the Black Mountain Army again to discuss how to intercept the Zhaojia Village migration team.
