The strange sound of trumpets resounded throughout the sky. Seeing that Guan Yu's camp was about to break out, Zhang He and Gao Lan, who were secretly happy, suddenly changed their expressions because they found that two soldiers and horses suddenly came out, one from the direction of Pingyang, but the other from the back formation.

The Han army was naturally in the direction of Pingyang. The whole cavalry was not Ma Chao's iron armored cavalry, but the light cavalry along the way. The general, the white horse and silver spear, rushed into the crowd like a sharp sword. Wherever he passed, the guns were dancing and killed the unprepared Yuan army. However, although this team was powerful, the Yuan army was dense, and the threat would be greatly reduced after the cavalry's rush was stopped by the dense crowd.

"Black Mountain Bandits!" Zhang He suddenly turned around and saw that the troops from the back were actually entrenched in Black Mountain. Yuan Shao had been encircling and suppressing Black Mountain Bandits who had not been able to wipe out it for several years!

The Black Mountain bandits were not scary. If they hadn't been lingering in the Black Mountain territory and relying on the terrain, Zhang He was not afraid at all. But at this moment, the three armies were struggling to move forward, and the defense behind was empty. At this moment, the Black Mountain Army suddenly broke out, which immediately made the Yuan army lose its predicament. The threat brought by the Black Mountain bandits was even greater than that elite Han army, which directly caused the Yuan army to fall into a state of chaos of advancing and retreating. The soldiers in the front continued to rush forward, but the soldiers in the rear had to turn back to resist the Black Mountain bandits.

This time, the Black Mountain bandits were obviously determined to surrender to the court. The leader was Zhang Yan, the leader of the Black Mountain bandits, and several main bandit leaders. Although there were not many people, the elite Black Mountain bandits were all put into the battlefield this time, and they chose this most critical time.

"Father, it's General Zilong, we're saved!" In Guan Yu's camp, Guan Ping rushed to Guan Yu excitedly and pointed at the direction of the imperial cavalry.

"Yes." Guan Yu nodded with a complicated expression, and his senses of Zhao Yun were a bit complicated. The three brothers got along well with Zhao Yun in Youzhou and made an agreement that if Zhao Yun left Gongsun Zan, he would defect to Liu Bei.

However, Zhao Yun did not join Liu Bei in the end, but went to Chang'an and participated in the Chang'an Competition. The Battle of the Huns made a name for the world. Speaking of which, it was Zhao Yun who broke the contract, but the three brothers at that time were also under someone's roof, and they didn't even have any followers, and they were not famous. Even if Zhao Yun was willing to join, it would be difficult to find the three of them. Moreover, Zhao Yun was a courtier in the court. Speaking of which, this choice cannot be considered a breaking contract. After all, in theory, Liu Bei was a relative of the Han Dynasty, and there was no difference between joining the court and joining Liu Bei.

But now it is obviously not the time to think about this. Guan Yu asked someone to pull a war horse and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, the reinforcements of the court have arrived. We cannot just watch others kill the enemy and wait for rescue. This is the time to kill the enemy. Let Yuan Shao know that our army is powerful, follow me to fight out!"

The camp was not needed, and the gate was opened. The reinforcements who were about to rush in were hit by Guan Yu's head-on attack. A green dragon and moon sword broke into the crowd, and green lights lit up, which brought blood flowers to life. The Han army, which rekindled morale, also roared and followed Guan Yu and rushed out. The reinforcements were a little confused by the sudden counterattack. The two armies fought together, and the sound of killing soared into the sky.

On the other hand, after a round of rushing, Zhao Yun did not go too deep, but quickly left the battlefield and began to cruise on the edge of the battlefield, constantly shooting arrows at the Yuan army lineup in front with cavalry, causing the Yuan army to be in chaos. However, the Black Mountain Army did not have so many concerns. He rushed into the Yuan army's rear formation and took advantage of the Yuan army's unpreparedness, which caused the greatest losses. It has to be said that Zhang Yan's opportunity to enter the battlefield was very good. In addition, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun, two teammates, were very powerful, and they restrained Yuan army's front army in time, causing Yuan army to lose control and gradually fell into chaos.

"Ming Jin, stop the troops!" Zhang He looked at the situation gradually being turned upside down, his face turned a little dark. The combined forces of the three parties were no longer as good as the Jizhou army, and the formation of the Jizhou army had been disrupted. You must know that on the battlefield, infantry relied on formations very strongly. Once the formation was disrupted, the combat effectiveness of the infantry would be greatly reduced.

"But the lord's military order..." Qian Zhao was a little hesitant. Yuan Shao's military order must break through the Guan Yu camp and not give the court a chance to gain a foothold in the White Horse.

"I will bear this matter alone!" Zhang He looked at the battlefield gradually falling into a chaotic place. He did not retreat at this moment. Not to mention annihilation of Guan Yu, it is a question whether these more than 10,000 troops can be preserved.

"Take it together!" Gao Lan said in a deep voice.

Zhang He nodded and immediately ordered the sound of gold. Although the previous command drum sound was a horn, the sound of gold was not in this line. With the crisp sound of gold sound, the Yuan army in the battle was like an amnesty and began to retreat to the White Horse Camp like a tide.

Guan Yu and Zhao Yun naturally would not let go of such an opportunity. They carried their troops and horses to pursue them. In the wilderness, there were soon corpses everywhere, and they were killed until the Yuan army camp. Zhang He organized archers to shoot, and only then could he barely repel the three troops.

In this battle, the Yuan army lost 6,000 troops, and fifteen crossbows were captured by the Han army, and the offensive and defense were transferred. Zhao Yun's cavalry, Guan Yu's vanguard army, and the 7,000 Black Mountain army brought by Zhang Yan, had already overwhelmed the Yuan army in terms of force. Zhang He and the other two could only defend the camp and ask Yuan Shao for help.

"Second brother, long time no see." Zhao Yun and Guan Yu joined forces and clasped their fists at Guan Yu and said, "He had a good relationship with the three brothers of Liu Bei. When he was under Gongsun Zan, he was called brothers. Seeing each other again after several years, he was also happy.

"Yeah." Guan Yu nodded, and said to him, "Second Brother," which dissipated a lot of the previous grudges and barriers. After a moment of silence, Guan Yu looked at Zhao Yun and said, "Why did Zilong come so quickly? Could it be that Your Majesty's army has arrived?"

"The main force of the court will not arrive tomorrow at least." Zhao Yun shook his head and smiled: "It was the detailed work arranged by His Majesty to send news that Yuan Shao had added a white horse. I was worried that my second brother would be in trouble, so I ordered me to lead the cavalry to support him."

The two were talking, and Zhang Yan had already brought the Black Mountain Army over, but Guan Yu was still very alert to this army that was not his own. Seeing this, Zhang Yan brought several Black Mountain leaders to meet the two.

"Last general Zhang Yan, I have met two generals!" Zhang Yan bowed to the two, took out a token and handed it to Zhao Yun and said: "Before the New Year, our Black Mountain Army had officially obtained the title of His Majesty. This time, he was ordered by His Majesty to come to help."

"It's time for General Zhang." Zhao Yun saw the token, nodded at Guan Yu, and returned the token to Zhang Yan with a smile.

"God polite, General, I have the military orders in the end, so I will leave first." Zhang Yan bowed to the two of them. Heishan did not border on Baima. He quickly led his troops to support him after receiving the secret guards arranged by Liu Xie in Heishan. Now that he has relieved Guan Yu's power, he must return to Heishan as soon as possible to preside over the overall situation.

"General, go slowly!" Zhao Yun nodded, and after sending Zhang Yan politely away, he joined forces with Guan Yu to rebuild the camp.

Li Yang and Yuan Shao’s mansion, when they received the defeat again, Yuan Shao felt a thrilling feeling in his heart, and slapped the table hard and cursed: “Waste! Waste!”

The battle I thought I would win was ultimately defeated, which made Yuan Shao very angry.

"Lord, Zhang He, Gao Lan missed the military opportunity and retreated without authorization. According to the rules, he should be killed!" A look of excitement flashed in Guo Tu's eyes. This was a great opportunity to suppress the local families in Jizhou, and he immediately bowed and said.

"Lord, no!" Tian Feng glared at Guo Tu fiercely and bowed to Yuan Shao and said, "Lord, the defeat of this battle is not a crime. The reinforcements of the court suddenly arrived, and the Heishan Army also intervened in this battle. Judging from the situation at that time, our soldiers were attacked from both sides. If they did not retreat, the 15,000 army would be completely defeated. Withdrawal in time, they could still retain some vitality."

When Guo Tu heard this, he said in a silence and uneven manner: "According to Yuan Hao's statement, Zhang He and Gao Lan, the two defeated generals, are not only innocent, but also have made contributions?"

He was very vocal about defeated generals. Including Yan Liang's previous battle, although they were not the main generals, they were actually defeated. In addition, this time, they had been defeated twice in a row. No matter how great the reason was, they could not escape the reputation of the defeated generals. At this moment, the two defeated generals actually made contributions and failed, which obviously would only be even more displeased for Yuan Shao.

"When did I say this?" Tian Feng was furious when he heard this and cursed sternly: "You guys, in this critical moment, don't want to be loyal to your lord, but you only know how to spread the word and wrong. What is your intention?"

"Enough!" Seeing Guo Tu and Tian Feng about to start arguing, Yuan Shao slapped the table in anger and scolded sternly: "When is it now? It's still arguing! It is said that our army will order to dismiss Zhang He and the two generals Gao Lan to assist in the convening of the White Horse Camp. Our general personally led the army to the White Horse. As for how to deal with it, we will deal with it after the orphan arrives at the White Horse!"

"Here!" Seeing Yuan Shao getting angry, the two quickly stopped arguing, but Guo Tu showed a smug smile at Tian Feng when he lowered his head. Seeing this, Tian Feng snorted coldly, his chest was filled with anger, but he had nowhere to vent, so he could only turn his head and not look at him.

"I ordered Han Rong, Zhu Ling, Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, and Jiang Qi to immediately assemble the troops and lead 30,000 troops to enter the Baima. The rest of the people will lead the army together with the orphan tomorrow, and there will be no mistakes!" Yuan Shao snorted coldly.

"Here!" Everyone took the order and left.
