Zhang Yan's brain flashed with lightning, and she quickly thought about what to do.
Is it a withdrawal?
Or attack?
He looked at the dark darkness in the distance in front of him and could not see clearly what was going on ahead, so he did not dare to order a charge. However, he looked back around and behind him, and there were fire snakes scurrying around the entire area as rockets were fired from everywhere in the forest.
At this moment, Zhang Yan was in a dilemma.
The dog-headed military advisor, Lao Gao, looked even more anxious, and his thin body was trembling slightly because of fear. He said loudly: "General, the situation is quite critical, and we cannot delay any longer."
"We will withdraw our troops immediately and stay away from the battlefield."
"If we continue to advance forward now, it is easy to fall into an ambush again. We don't know the number of the opponent, and fighting with the opponent is a blind attack. And the opponent is good at advancing. If we are ambushed, attacking is looking for death."
The dog-headed Lao Gao roared: "Withdraw troops, exit the bamboo forest immediately and avoid the sharp edge."
Zhang Yan has always trusted the dog-headed Lao Gao, because it was Lao Gao who gave him advice over the years. He did not dare to delay any longer and ordered: "Withdraw the troops, withdraw at full speed."
Zhang Yan suddenly turned the horse's head and retreated.
After his order was issued, the Black Mountain Army collapsed again without any surprise, and countless people fled as if they were flying.
Rockets kept falling, fire snakes were scurrying around, fires were burning in the bamboo forest, and thick smoke was rising, causing the Black Mountain Army to become increasingly chaotic.
With countless people running away, many people pushed each other, causing many people to be pushed to the ground. In the blink of an eye, they were trampled on, unable to get up at all, and were trampled to death alive.
All the Montenegrin troops only knew how to escape.
Zhang Yan retreated with Lao Gao, and Du Chang quickly followed. As the fire spread, the group of people avoided the sea of fire and the Black Mountain Army soldiers who were on fire, and continued to retreat along Luoyan Slope.
It's just that the bamboo forest in Luoyanpo is wide, and as the fire burns, more and more people fall into the sea of fire.
There were screams and wails all in one continuous sound.
When Zhang Yan was fleeing with his men, the entrance to Zhang Yan was now the exit, in the darkness in the distance.
Lu Xuan, Xu Chu, Zhao Yun and others quietly waited here.
The soldiers in front who were responsible for shooting arrows were soldiers from Zhending County under Zhao Cheng. These people were responsible for shooting arrows and nothing else.
Lu Xuan, Zhao Yun and others were responsible for the final cover-up.
The two waited in the dark. They had received the news. Zhang Yan ordered the evacuation. Many Montenegrin troops had already come out. However, neither Lu Xuan nor Zhao Yun have moved out yet, because Zhang Yan is still in Luoyanpo.
Zhao Yun looked expectant and said: "Your Majesty, you really predicted that Zhang Yan did not dare to break out in the direction of Zhending County, but retreated to where he was. Now, we just need to wait."
Lu Xuan confidently said: "Zhang Yan doesn't know how many people are ambushed in front of him, so he can only retreat. This time, if Zhang Yan is completely eliminated, the threat to Zhending County will also be eliminated."
Zhao Yun nodded solemnly.
There was gratitude in his eyes.
He is not a fool and knows how to weigh interests. Zhao Yun knows very well that the enemy of his enemy is his friend. From Lu Xuan's perspective, leaving Zhang Yan to occupy Black Mountain can hold back Yuan Shao to a certain extent, so that there is always a threat to Yuan Shao's hinterland. .
Although killing Zhang Yan eliminated the threat from Zhending County, it also solved Yuan Shao's trouble.
Without Zhang Yan, the Black Mountain Army would definitely be in chaos. While fighting each other, Yuan Shao found an opportunity to destroy the Black Mountain Army and would definitely send troops to encircle and suppress them.
However, Lu Xuan still did it.
Zhao Yun clenched the gentian silver gun in his hand, his eyes determined. He looked back at the flaming bamboo forest and waited quietly.
"Report!"
A sentinel rushed out.
The sentinel came to Zhao Yun's side and reported: "Sir, Zhang Yan and his party are coming out."
"knew."
Zhao Yun nodded and answered.
There was a murderous look in his eyes, and he turned to look at Lu Xuan and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I humbly ask for a fight. Zhang Yan comes out and I humiliate myself to kill Zhang Yan."
"Can!"
Lu Xuan nodded and answered.
Both of them had already mounted their horses, and all the more than forty cavalrymen under their command were mounted and arrayed.
More than two hundred infantrymen also followed neatly.
Because it was night, and the fire burning in the bamboo forest was as bright as day. It was precisely because the brighter the bamboo forest was, the less visible it was when looking from a distance. This is the reason why it is dark under the lamp.
Lu Xuan and others could clearly see the situation in the bamboo forest in the dark, but the people coming out of the bamboo forest could not see it.
The group of people waited.
After a while, Zhang Yan and Du Chang had already led people out.
Both men were riding horses.
Moreover, the armor of the two men is different, and they look like generals in the army. However, the Black Mountain troops who came out to escort Zhang Yan were all in a state of disarray. Many of their hair was singed and their clothes were in a mess.
Everyone looked panicked and extremely nervous.
Zhang Yan and Du Chang rushed out. Zhang Yan looked very happy and said loudly: "Chang Du, I am the one who got you involved this time. Unexpectedly, we were tricked again. We retreated directly to Montenegro and waited for me to gather again. The army is besieging Zhending County. I will never stop until Zhending County is massacred."
Du Chang's face was covered with soot and black. He was crying and looking a little confused. His loss this time was so tragic that he was burned by a fire before he even started fighting or even knew who the enemy was.
Du Chang said loudly: "Chief, I have suffered a big loss this time. You must compensate me."
Zhang Yan said without any hesitation: "Take the people and come back to Montenegro with me. After we go back, I will make up for all your losses. In addition, I will give you another batch of food to supplement your army rations." .”
Du Chang's sullen face had a smile on his face and he said, "Thank you, chief."
Zhang Yan turned around and glanced at Luo Yanpo bitterly, with murderous intent in her eyes, and said: "I, Zhang Yan, have been in Hebei for more than ten years, and I have never suffered such humiliation. This time, I don't even know who is commanding the other party. The loss was heavy. The person who took action was definitely not Zhao Cheng. He is a waste. He does not have such strength and ability. It must be someone else. I must..."
"kill!"
Suddenly, a shout came from a distance.
"kill!"
More than three hundred people chanted in unison.
Lu Xuan led Zhao Yun and Xu Chu on horseback and rushed out, followed by more than 40 cavalry and more than 200 infantry.
The cavalry swept over like dragons.
The distance between the two sides was very close. Under the premise of a sudden attack from Lu Xuan's side, in the blink of an eye, the two sides were less than fifteen steps away. At this time, Zhang Yan, Du Chang and others did not even have the slightest chance to evade, and had no time to make adjustments.
Xu Chu confronted Du Chang and killed him with one strike.
Zhao Yun faced Zhang Yan, and the gentian silver spear was already activated. Under the background of the fire, a cold light stabbed towards Zhang Yan's chest.
Zhang Yan quickly raised her knife to block, and the blade hit the gun barrel from bottom to top.
This blow caused the point of the gun to shift.
Zhang Yan felt relieved, but Zhao Yun shook his hand, and the rising gentian silver spear instantly adjusted its direction. The slightly raised tip of the spear did not retract, and stabbed out as before.
Zhang Yan's scalp went numb when she saw this scene.
Before he had time to react, the tip of the gun was already in front of him.
Phew!
The sharp tip of the spear penetrated Zhang Yan's throat like tofu, and was then pulled out with a cloud of blood.
