Chapter 105: Zhang Yan's death, the end of the war
"What!"
Such a terrifying shot made Zhang Yan's face pale. Although the gun had not arrived, the terrifying and killing momentum seemed to imprison his body. The gap between peerless generals and first-class generals was huge. Except for Yuan Xi who had special abilities, others could not match it.
When Zhang Yan used all his strength, gritted his teeth and grabbed the gun and blocked it, he was indeed afraid to find that it had stabbed the sky. The essence of the Qi Pan Dragon Spear was just a weird word, which made people nowhere to be found and it was hard to defend against.
A cold light flashed in Zhao Yun's eyes. After the silver spear was shifted, it instantly penetrated Zhang Yan's heart and stabbed him from his horse to the ground. If it were normal, Zhang Yan might have fought with Zhao Yun for a few rounds, but now the battle situation is urgent and the opportunity is fleeting. Zhao Yun did not reserve at all, and he opened fire with all his energy. With that amazing momentum, Zhang Yan, who was not prepared, was directly shot and killed with one shot.
After Zhang Yan fell heavily to the ground, a mouthful of blood immediately spurted out. Looking at the figure of the white robe that followed the ground, her eyes were a little disbelief. There was such a terrible general in the world. Then she smiled bitterly. Perhaps she didn't expect that she would have such an ending, or that she was ashamed of not avenging her son, and her eyes gradually blurred until she completely fell into darkness.
"Hahaha"
Seeing Zhang Yan being stabbed by Zhao Yun, Yuan Xi burst into laughter with great joy, and his whole body exuded a domineering aura that was overwhelming with heaven and earth. His eyes swept around. The terrible coldness and majesty immediately made the bandits who surrounded and annihilated him be suppressed, and they all kept retreating in fear.
"The chief is dead"
"The general is dead"
Sadness, confusion, and a panic sound resounded over the entire battlefield. The Black Mountain Army, who was already exhausted and was killed by the Nutao Camp for a while, was suddenly filled with fear. When he saw Zhang Yan lying on the ground and losing his vitality, he immediately lost all the battles and only knew how to flee in all directions. Even if the commander and the leader were shouting, it would be useless.
Zhang Yan is a flag, the Black Mountain Army's flag. Now that the flag has collapsed, the troops have no will to fight anymore.
The "General" saw that the two loyal commanders who were towards Zhang Yan did not escape. Instead, they rushed towards Zhao Yun with a sad look, completely ignoring the huge gap in strength.
"My little one, let me go"
A black shadow flashed, bringing a fierce momentum. Two black hammers with evil aura swept out like dragons, instantly knocking them away. The internal organs in their bodies were smashed and killed.
Hu Niuer appeared behind Zhao Yun, turned his head to look at Yingwei's face, and directly gave him a thumbs up.
Zhao Yun smiled slightly, pulled out the spear inserted into Zhang Yan's body, and brought out a trace of blood.
"Zhang Yan is dead, the entire army covers the killing"
Yuan Ping on the city tower shouted excitedly, and the gate of Luancheng opened again. The soldiers of the third battalion immediately covered the sky and screamed and rushed out, chasing towards the escaped Black Mountain Army. The overall situation was settled.
Yuan Xi brought the remaining more than a dozen personal soldiers to Zhao Yun and praised with satisfaction: "Zilong is worthy of being an unparalleled general. He did a good job. You should be the first to be a success in this station."
"Young Master, I'm too rewarded. These are all the results of the soldiers of the Third Battalion fighting hard." Zhao Yun said modestly.
Yuan Xi smiled, turned to look at the dead Zhang Yan, with a hint of sigh on his face, and shook his head and said, "What a pity, he shouldn't have ended like this. I passed my order. The coffin was burying Zhang Yan and Taihang Mountains with a thick coffin. Since he was born and the scenery, there, and there, he should also be buried there!"
"No!!" Zhao Yun and Hu Niuer responded quickly with admiration.
"Second Brother" At this time, Yuan Ping and his men rushed over. After seeing Yuan Xi, they quickly dismounted and bowed.
Yuan Xi rushed over, helped Yuan Ping up, looked carefully, and said caringly: "Fifth brother, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, Brother Jiao, Tiezang and his team have already taken the troops of the Third Battalion to chase the Black Mountain Army," Yuan Ping said excitedly.
Yuan Xi nodded and said, "Tell them that if they are willing to surrender, they can be exempted from death and are transferred to the third battalion. We will suffer a lot of losses at this station!"
Looking at the corpses everywhere and the blood-spreading earth, Yuan Xi showed a hint of emotion on his face.
"Brother, I understand," Yuan Ping responded immediately.
.........
At this time, on the other side, in the ancient Three Gorges, which is only twenty miles away from Luancheng, there is still a fierce battle.
"Road up, rush up"
A mighty warrior with a thick beard, holding a long sword, and a magnificent figure riding a tall horse, commanding thousands of soldiers to continuously attack the only fortress blocking the front and leading to Luancheng.
He is another general in the north. Han Meng. When he received Jiao Chu's letter, he had sent troops immediately. It was Yuan Xi's army. Yuan Shao's love for his son is obvious to all. If Yuan Shao knew about it, he would not help him as soon as possible and would cause some damage to Yuan Xi, the one who waited for him would be death.
However, he did not expect that the strategic fortress of the Three Canyons was occupied by the Black Mountain Army. The Three Canyons were surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there was only one road. If you detour from other places, it would take at least three or four days, and the daylily was cold. However, the Three Canyons fortress was high and strong, so you could still rush over it. However, Yuan Xi's situation is critical now and he cannot stop at all.
Above the fortress, a commander wearing black armor and murderous aura with his eyes and being about thirty years old, looked at the fierce attack but could not attack at all. He smiled coldly and had a hint of contempt on his face. Those who occupied the fortress would have no problem blocking them for several days.
"Commander, I don't know what the general is doing?" At this time, a general with a gentle face and fair skin came over with a hint of concern on his face. After all, Luancheng is the main site.
"Don't worry, just Luancheng, my brother will definitely break it."
A few hours later, looking at the repelled army, Han Meng waved his hand angrily, wishing to kill the fortress's guard. Such an important location was actually captured by the enemy.
"General, should we stop the rest for a while? The soldiers are a little tired?" A deputy general said with a heartache.
"No, the second young master is waiting for our support, and then go on," Han Meng ordered firmly.
"promise!"
"It's just a matter of seeking death." The commander of the Black Mountain Army who saw this scene smiled coldly.
"General Yang"
At this time, a soldier with blood and exhausted face suddenly rushed up on the fortress tower, saying with tears on his face: "General Yang, the general is dead, the deputy general asks you to retreat to Taihang Mountain immediately, otherwise you will be attacked on both sides."
"What are you talking nonsense? Brother has 30,000 troops in his hand, how could he die?" Hearing this, Yang Rao angrily raised the soldier and roared loudly.
"It's true that the general was assassinated by a shot. This is what we all saw with our own eyes." The soldier said in fear and sadness.
"Impossible, Impossible, how could my brother die?" Yang Rao put down the messenger, his face pale, and his whole body was already shaking.
Tao Gu immediately supported Yang Rao and persuaded anxiously: "Commander, let us retreat quickly, otherwise the Luancheng army will come and our army will be attacked from both sides and will never escape."
Yang Rao's pupils immediately shrank, looking at Han Meng's army who was sieging the city again, and shouted unwillingly and sadly: "Retreat the army"
"promise!
After the Black Mountain Army retreated, the Three Canyon Fortress was quickly occupied. Han Meng said in surprise: "What's going on?"
"Report to General, news came from Luancheng that Zhang Yan was killed and the Black Mountain Army was defeated." A message soldier rushed over.
"What!" Han Meng shouted in shock. Zhang Yan, the commander of the Black Mountain Army who had been withering for decades, died like this.
"The other two young masters have also arrived in Luancheng."
Han Meng's eyes narrowed, and he looked at the deputy general on the side and said, "Take the army back to Zhuocheng, I'll go to Luancheng to pay homage to the second young master to see how the situation is."
"promise!"
A day later, the bandits who harassed Zhao County, Gaoyi, and Zanhuang, and stopped them from sending troops to rescue also retreated one after another. Once Zhang Yan died, nothing was meaningless.
The battle of Luancheng that broke out unexpectedly finally ended completely. The troops invested by both sides were nearly 70,000. The counties around Luancheng were fighting, and finally ended with Yuan Xi's victory. Zhang Yan, the person who should have been led by Cao Cao in the future and would eventually be named a marquis, died early at Yuan Xi's hands. He was also the first heroic figure in the Three Kingdoms destroyed by Yuan Xi.
As for the Black Mountain Army, they suffered heavy losses in this battle. Without seven or eight years of dormant, they could never cause huge storms. But everyone understood that no one would give them this opportunity.
