Chapter 195 Zhang Yan's Defeat
A few days later, Zhang Yan led his soldiers to Fan Yang.
"Pass my order and work hard with me to reach Fanyang City before dark tomorrow." Zhang Yan, full of fighting spirit, said to the soldiers under his command.
At this time, Zhang Fan, the general under his command, said: "General, my lord has ordered us to proceed carefully after we reach Fanyang territory, to prevent ambushes from bandits."
Zhang Yan waved her hand and said: "Of course you must listen to what my lord says, but don't you know what kind of situation Gongsun Zan is now? He only has a total of more than 2 people. Even if he leads his army to Fan Yang, he will only have 3 people at most. Ten thousand people, but our Montenegrin army alone has more than 2 people, plus the lord's 5 people, we have a total of [-] people. Did Gongsun Zan take the courage of a bear and a leopard? Dare to ambush us? Hehe, I was still looking forward to it Waiting for him to ambush me, when the time comes I will break his army and capture Gongsun Zan alive."
"The general said the same thing. With our strong military strength, what is Gongsun Zan worth? When the time comes, he will be kept in custody." Zhang Fan felt very reasonable after hearing Zhang Yan's words, and his heart suddenly burst into pride. , no longer have the previous worries.
Then the messenger issued Zhang Yan's order, and the whole army marched quickly, and must arrive at Fanyang City before sunset the next day.So the army speeded up again and advanced with all its strength.
After the Black Mountain Army advanced for half a day, it came to a dense forest. At this time, it was already dusk, and there was no sound in the dense forest, which looked a little gloomy.
"After passing through this dense forest, we will set up camp and have a night's rest. Soldiers, don't worry, just move forward boldly." Zhang Yan saw that the soldiers were all exhausted, but he still decided to go through the dense forest first. Stop and rest again.
The officers and soldiers of the Montenegrin Army were indeed exhausted. However, since the general had spoken, they could only continue walking. Fortunately, this dense forest did not look very vast, and they could walk out in half an hour at most.
However, I didn't expect that at this moment, a sharp sound of piercing through the air suddenly came from the dense forest, and everyone's expressions changed, and they shouted loudly: "Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
Zhang Yan, who was walking in the front of the horse, changed his expression even more. He jumped and floated onto a nearby big tree. He sat down on the horse but was shot into a hedgehog. He let out a mournful cry and fell to the ground.
Zhang Yan clearly saw from the tree that the soldiers under his command screamed again and again. It is estimated that hundreds of people were killed on the spot and countless injured. Even Zhang Fan, his most trusted general, Died under the arrows.
"Hateful! I didn't expect that I actually encountered an ambush. Alas, Zhang Fan reminded me at the beginning, but I couldn't listen. As a result, Zhang Fan died. This is all my fault. But fortunately, I went through it My lord canonizes me, my Qinggong has improved greatly than before, otherwise, among the soldiers who died in battle today, I would be one of them."
Zhang Yan waited quietly on the tree until the round of arrow rain was over, then jumped back to the army, mounted an ownerless war horse, and then shouted loudly: "Soldiers, don't panic, there are not many rebels." As long as we stay calm and fight calmly, we will be able to turn defeat into victory."
However, the Black Mountain Army itself does not have strong discipline. Although after so many days of rectification, there has been a little progress in observing military discipline, but it is only limited to normal times. Now at the critical moment of life and death, they can't take care of anything and scattered. Zhang Yan's Flying Swallow skill didn't play a positive role in fleeing for his life. Instead, it made the Black Mountain Army run faster. Every time he thought of this, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Hey, this bunch of trash, all of them fled for their lives in disregard of military discipline at the critical moment."
Zhang Yan lamented in his heart, but there was no way to stop this chaos. Fortunately, he also took the opportunity to gather more than 1000 defeated troops, and led these people to retreat while continuing to gather soldiers.
However, at this moment, only the sound of killing was heard not far from the rear. It turned out that the ambushes appeared and chased and killed the chaotic Black Mountain Army.
"Let's go!" Although Zhang Yan was very reluctant, she knew that she was unable to fight the opponent at this time.He had no choice but to grit his teeth and lead his soldiers to retreat back and forth.
Zhang Yan had been retreating for nearly 3 miles before the enemy gradually retreated. At this time, Zhang Yan gathered the remnants of the army and found that there were only less than 2 left in the army of more than [-]. Killed, the remaining ones either escaped or chose to surrender.
"Oh, it's really abominable. I accidentally fell into the trap of a thief. Not only did I not perform any meritorious service, but I lost my army and regretted not listening to my lord's words." Zhang Yan secretly regretted it and ordered the soldiers to build a camp to defend themselves, and then waited for the arrival of Liu He's army. .
However, at night, the enemy attacked again. Fortunately, Zhang Yan led his soldiers to fight to the death in the crisis, and finally repelled the enemy's attack. However, even so, Zhang Yan still lost 3000 men.
Due to successive defeats, the morale of the army dropped drastically, but fortunately Zhang Yan had a high prestige in the army, so he strictly ordered the soldiers to divide into two groups. After a night of hard work, the camp was finally established before dawn.
Regardless of fatigue, Zhang Yan ordered the soldiers who built the camp to rest. He led the crowd to defend himself for a long time, and then ordered the group of soldiers who had already rested to defend. Then he ordered the soldiers who had stood for the whole night and most of the day to go. Rest, but he himself did not dare to have the slightest carelessness, and still insisted on guarding until Liu He led the main force to arrive. During this period, the enemy attacked with several words, and Zhang Yan's soldiers lost another two thousand. others...
"My lord, the general did not obey orders, and was ambushed as a result, resulting in the loss of troops and generals, which dampened the morale of our army. Please forgive me, my lord!"
As soon as Liu He's army arrived, Zhang Yan hurriedly came to Liu Hema, confessed his crimes, and asked Liu He to deal with it.
Liu He's complexion sank, and he said loudly: "Zhang Yan, you didn't follow my orders and advanced rashly. As a result, you were ambushed by the enemy and you were defeated. If you follow the law, you should be killed. Afterwards, I handled it properly, worked hard for several days without sleep, and finally managed to defend the camp. Therefore, you will be saved from death, and you will be demoted to Xingyi Zhonglang General, and you will still be in command of the old department. Forgive me, go down and rest."
"No, thank you, my lord, for not killing me. Please don't worry, my lord. From now on, I will swear allegiance to my lord. I will never slack off in the slightest!" Zhang Yan wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, and thanked Liu He. Then he hurried down.
"Everyone, now that Zhang Yan has been defeated, our forward has been frustrated, and the enemy's morale has soared. It is not easy to break through Fan Yang. Under such circumstances, we must fight a tough battle and forcefully break through Fan Yang in order to boost morale and deter the enemy. Vigor, please don’t slack off and respond with all your strength!”
After Zhang Yan left, Liu He's eyes flashed with solemnity and he said to his subordinates Gan Ning, Chen Dao, Hao Zhao, Zhao Yun, Pan Feng, Pei Yuanshao, Deng Zhan and Qu Yi.
