Chapter 20: Zhang Yan's misery-2
When Zhang Yan woke up again, he found that he was tightly bound.
Opening his eyes, Cao Ziyou was sitting cross-legged in front of him.
"Hey, isn't this General Zhang who wants to snatch my horse? How did he become a prisoner?"
Facing Cao Ziyou's ridicule, Zhang Yan shouted angrily:
"Despicable! You fought two against one, even engaged in a sneak attack!"
"Pfft!"
Cao Ziyou laughed, not to mention that there is no fairness on the battlefield, not to mention that Zhang Yan's original intention was to fight Zhao Yu with Erniu, two against one!
However, Cao Ziyou's purpose was to subdue Zhang Yan, not kill him.
So after Cao Ziyou finished laughing, he ordered someone to untie the rope on Zhang Yan.
"I know you are not convinced, and I think this time I took advantage of your unpreparedness to capture you alive.
Okay, then I let you go, let's fight again. But if I catch you again, then..."
Before Cao Ziyou finished speaking, Zhang Yan added:
"If I'm caught again, at that time, it's up to you to kill or cut me up. I, Zhang Yan, have absolutely no objections!"
"Okay, I believe you!"
"Just let him go," Cao Ziyou turned around and looked at the hanging map.
Zhang Yan rubbed her wrist, and after realizing that Cao Ziyou really ignored him, he took a tentative step back.
The surrounding soldiers remained motionless, just watching Zhang Yan, for fear that he would hurt Cao Ziyou.
Convinced that he was safe, Zhang Yan strode out of Gaotang City.
After walking far away, they found the camp of the Black Mountain Army.
With the support of many members of the Black Mountain Army, Zhang Yan became the leader of the Black Mountain Army again.
After resting for a day, Zhang Yan decided not to play around this time.
He figured it out, his advantage was the number of soldiers, not the martial arts of the generals.
With an army of 80,000 attacking the city, even Yuan Shao had to be afraid.
What's more, Cao Ziyou, a kid who just won the victory, must be very proud, and it is suitable for him to lead the Black Mountain Army to give him a head-on blow!
So at dawn, the 80,000 troops were crushed under the Gaotang City like a black cloud.
Xun Yu looked at the radiant Zhang Yan under the city, and said to Cao Ziyou:
"Ziyou, the Black Mountain Army seems to have a large number of people, but it is actually a mob.
If Zhang Yan is a sensible person, he can definitely select the elite from the 80 army, pick out hundreds of thousands of strong men, and train hard, the combat power will be doubled.
It's a pity that he has no long-term vision, and he doesn't have all kinds of materials, so he can only rely on the quantity to scare the uninformed! "
"Damn, Uncle Wen Ruo, I understand. The Qingzhou Yellow Turbans were not the same as the Black Mountain
Army before! There are a lot of them, but they are actually just paper tigers. I selected 30,000 young and middle-aged men from them, and after Yanzhou's military equipment and my training After that, it transformed into the Ziyou Army. After I subdue the Black Mountain Army, I will slowly select people."
Xun Yu and Cao Ziyou didn't pay attention to Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army during their conversation.
If it weren't for the large number of the Black Mountain Army, the two of them had taken a fancy to their soldiers and labor, and would have sent someone to destroy the Black Mountain Army long ago.
When Zhang Yan found out that the gates of Gaotang City were tightly closed and no soldiers came out, his courage instantly swelled a lot.
"Come on! Siege the city! The first person to reach Gaotang City will receive a reward of ten thousand gold!
Take down Gaotang City, and the food inside will be ours!"
As soon as the Black Mountain Army heard that there was food, they rushed up with a long knife and a ladder.
Zhang Yan didn't panic at all, the 80 army, even with poor equipment, could win the city by numbers.
After all, they had fought against Yuan Shao, and they basically knew the equipment used to defend the city.
Although the lethality of bows and arrows is great, the number of Montenegro troops is greater than the number of arrows.
Not to mention the Yanzhou soldiers who are not as powerful as Jizhou.
Zhang Yan watched the Black Mountain Army rush towards the city, watched the Black Mountain Army set up the ladder, and watched the Black Mountain Army fall down like cutting wheat.
Eh, what is happening?
Why did the siege fail? !
Zhang Yan was surprised to find that the crossbows of this guarding force were different from any crossbows he had seen before.
Others' crossbows are single-shot, but Cao Ziyou's crossbow can be fired in bursts of ten!
At this moment, the newly built Zhuge Liannu exerted tremendous power!
The densely packed crossbow arrows fell, and a large area of the Black Mountain Army fell down in response.
Unlike the regular army, the Montenegrin Army has no military training, and once it encounters a major blow, it is impossible to organize an effective counterattack.
The Montenegrin army in groups threw away their weapons and ran to the rear with all their might.
The rout broke up the formation of the Black Mountain Army. Even Zhang Yan yelled loudly, but it couldn't stop the Black Mountain Army's belief in running for their lives. They are not soldiers, but a group of peasants with no food to eat and nowhere to go.
With the advantage of numbers, it's nothing more than a smooth battle.
Can't fight tough battles at all!
At this time, the gate of Gaotang City opened, and Dian Wei and Xu Chu each led an army, outflanking Zhang Yan.
The result was already doomed, Zhang Yan couldn't tell the direction in the chaotic army, and plunged into the encirclement of Dian Wei and Xu Chu.
He wanted to break out of the encirclement, but was knocked unconscious by Dianwei Yiji, and the rest of the Black Mountain Army who had no time to escape raised their hands and surrendered.
So the unlucky Zhang Yan was once again tied up in Gaotang City.
