Chapter 288 Fire
Zhaojun, Zhang Yan's old nest.
Zhang Yan slapped the table suddenly and said angrily: "Wang Dang they have been wiped out, why did there be no signs in advance?"
Yu Du stood up and said, "It seems that Yuan Jun is planning to fight us to the end this time. He will send troops to the door sooner or later. How should we deal with it?"
Zhang Yan snorted coldly: "There are Yellow Turban Party in Hebei and Gongsun Zan outside. Yuan Shao definitely did not dare to put all his troops on us. This attack on Wang Dang was nothing more than to kill the chicken to warn the monkey and let us restrain ourselves, but I just don't let him do what he wants. Wang Dang's revenge must be avenged!"
Yu Du said: "Master General means...?"
Zhang Yan gritted his teeth and said, "Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao have always had grudges. Please send him a letter and ask him to attack Yuan Shao together. He will definitely agree. Then we will unite to deal with Yuan Jun and will definitely beat them all over the ground!"
Yu Du hurriedly said, "I will do this immediately."
As soon as he spoke, he saw a minion walking into the hall: "Report to the commander, Yuan's army has set off to Zhao County, and I'm afraid he is coming to attack us!"
Zhang Yan was shocked and said, "I didn't look for them, do they dare to come to me?"
The minion panicked: "The number of Yuan Jun is not clear yet, but the number is definitely quite large. They have already killed the King's village leader, so they are probably going to take serious action with us!"
Zhang Yan glared and said, "They will come when they come, what are you afraid of?"
The minion said in panic: "But after all, they are all well-equipped official troops, and we are just thieves gathered in the mountains and forests..."
As soon as the minion finished speaking, he was immediately chopped over to the ground by Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan said angrily: "I don't need a cowardly and incompetent guy. I'm so scared when I hear the name of the official army. Since Yuan Jun wants to fight us to the death, I will help them!"
Yu Du clasped his fists and said, "What instructions does the Grand Marshal have?"
Zhang Yan said: "Immediately ask the villages to gather their troops, we will fight to the death with those official troops!"
Yu Du quickly took the order and retreated, and the prelude to the decisive battle had already begun.
Zhao County, official road.
Yuan Jun was like a long winding snake, slowly squirming forward in a black and black manner.
Roche rode on the horse and said, "What are the actions of the Black Mountain Army now?"
Zhang He replied: "They are gathering troops now, and I'm afraid they want to fight us to the death."
Roqi smiled and said, "It's great, it saves me from wasting time."
Zhang He frowned and said, "But once they assemble, their combat effectiveness will double. If we want to eliminate it, the difficulty will be higher."
Roqi smiled and said, "General Zhang must remember one thing."
Zhang He said: "What?"
Roqi said lightly: "A mere bandit is not a problem."
Zhang He frowned and said, "Military advisor should not be too confident. If the Black Mountain bandits can develop to this level, their strength must not be underestimated, otherwise they will not become a major concern in Hebei."
Roche nodded and said, "Then what if I make a bet with the general?"
Zhang He said: "What are you betting on?"
Luo Qi said lightly: "In ten days, Zhang Yan will be defeated. If you cannot, no one will be left."
Zhang He was stunned and said in surprise: "Why should the military advisor do this?"
Roqi smiled and said, "There is no suspense in this battle, I can only use it to find some excitement."
Zhang He was stunned for a while, then shook his head and smiled bitterly.
A few days later, Zhang Yan's nest.
Zhang Yan raised his eyebrows and said, "They are stationed at the foot of the mountain now?"
Yu Du nodded and said, "They have also sent letters of war."
Zhang Yan raised her eyebrows and said, "What did the Zhan Shu say?"
Yu Du said: "They want to ask us to have a decisive battle tomorrow, right in Hirano, Yamashita."
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Since they are desperate to fight, we will not let them go as we wish. We will instruct the villages to defend the dead first and remember not to go out to fight lightly."
Yu Du nodded and said, "No problem."
At the foot of the mountain, Yuan Jun is stationed.
Roche looked up at the sky and smiled and said, "What's the result?"
Huang Yueying said lightly: "It will be sunny after tomorrow, and it will not rain in the near future."
Roqi smiled and said, "Very good."
Huang Yueying raised her eyebrows and said, "Are you planning to set fire to the mountain?"
Luo Qi nodded and said, "With you, a disciple of the Yin-Yang family who can understand astronomy, isn't it a pity if I don't take advantage of the issue?"
Huang Yueying smiled and said, "No wonder you want to give them a letter of war."
Luo Qi nodded and said, "When Zhang Yan received the letter of war, he only thought that we wanted to fight quickly and decided quickly, and would never agree to my request. He would definitely adopt a strategy of shrinking and defense, which was exactly what I wanted."
Huang Yueying sighed slightly: "Faced with a guy like you, I am really worried that they can hold on for three days."
Roche smiled and said, "I hope they can have a better time with me."
The next day, the mountains.
The rising flames ignited from the foot of the mountain and then quickly spread to the top of the mountain. The rolling smoke rushed straight into the sky, and countless vigorous ancient trees burned into coke in the flames.
The blazing fire shone on the soldiers' faces and burned for three days.
Roqi raised his head, saw Yu Yan on the mountain, and smiled and said, "North Mountain bandits must be in a state of anxiety now, it is a good time for us to attack."
Zhang He nodded and said, "I will take the lead in killing up the mountain!"
Roqi smiled and said, "I have already seen the map of all the nearby mountains, among which there are twelve suitable for setting up villages. If I am right, the first village should be on the hillside to the west. The general can level it first, and then I will think about the next arrangement."
Zhang He was ready to rub his hands and said, "No problem!"
After he finished speaking, he immediately led his troops up the mountain.
Luo Qi looked at Zhang He's back as he rushed forward, and walked forward with Huang Yueying, stepping on the burnt charcoal under his feet, making cracking sounds from time to time.
Before I could reach the hillside, I heard a vague shout of killing.
Roqi still looked calm and slowly walked to the mountain village. He saw a scene that was burned to the ground and fighting in the square.
The resistance of the Black Mountain bandits had become sporadic and meager, and was quickly extinguished like a steaming flame.
Luo Qi walked up to Zhang He and bowed, "General Zhang is working hard, I wonder how our army's casualties are?"
Zhang He wiped blood and said, "They were already in chaos when our army attacked. What's hateful is that it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Our army still lost a lot of manpower, but it is indeed much less than expected."
Roche nodded and said, "How many enemies are there?"
Zhang He thought for a while and said, "Including they have been burned to death by fire, it should be nearly ten thousand."
Roqi calculated with his fingers and smiled, "There are ten thousand thieves in one camp. Even if other camps are included, the number of Black Mountain bandits cannot exceed 120,000. What they said is indeed absurd and false statement."
Zhang He said: "What will we do next?"
Luo Qi said lightly: "Put off the clothes of these black bandits and replace them with our soldiers, so that they can pretend to be the defeated black bandits who were being hunted, and then seize the camps inside and outside. The remaining eleven camps use this plan until Zhang Yan is finally eradicated... The plan is that simple."
Zhang He nodded and said, "I will start to act now."
Roqi smiled and said, "Please fight quickly and decide quickly. Don't forget that my head is still under the ten-day deadline. I don't want to lose money when the engagement is in trouble."
