With the help of horseshoes and stirrups, the 10,000 cavalry under Yuan Tan has greatly enhanced their combat power.

After a few days of short training and familiarity with the operation of stirrups and horseshoes, Yuan Tan took Gao Ran and sent troops to join the state.

In the marching tent, Gao Ran sorted out the information collected into bamboo slips and handed them over to Yuan Tan.

Yuan Tan unfolded the bamboo slip, looked at the inscription on it, and frowned.

Zhang Yan is only the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, and even the Montenegrin Army that he started is inherited from his father-in-law Zhang Niujiao.

However, he was a man of courage and morality, which in the regular army might not be able to bear.

But in a unit like the Montenegrin Army, Zhang Yan's style of action is quite appetizing to them.

What's more, Zhang Yan is quite scheming.

His original name was Chu Yan, and he was not Zhang Niujiao's righteous son, but just a general under Zhang Niujiao.

But after Zhang Niujiao died, he jumped out as soon as possible, not to mention his extreme grief.

also changed his original "Chu Yan" to "Zhang Yan", and successfully made Zhang Niujiao's old subordinates pay attention.

So after Zhang Niujiao's death, Zhang Yan quickly consolidated his position.

In the troubled times at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the princes of all walks of life were compared to who had the biggest fist and who was reasonable.

Although the Montenegrin army is mostly a rabble, it is better than a large number of people.

Therefore, whether it is the imperial court or Yuan Shao, it is quite a headache for this difficult bone.

Let's fight, you won't get much good stuff.

Don't fight it, it's always good to put it there.

And Zhang Yan is also a hero, every time she does something, the timing is very good.

In the original history, the time when this guy jumped out this time was after the Battle of Guandu and the defeat of the Yuan family.

He took advantage of the weakness of the Yuan family in Hebei to burn and loot, and then went directly to Cao Cao.

But now, because of Yuan Tan's crossing, he is not so lucky.

"100,000 people?"

Hearing Yuan Tan's words, Gao Ran immediately got up and said,

"It is said that it is 100,000, but in fact, the real battleable soldiers are only 50,000, and the rest are some old and weak women and children."

Probably afraid that Yuan Tan would be afraid of Zhang Yanbu, Gao Ran added,

"And these 50,000 people are mostly rabble, and there are not many old foundations left by the Yellow Turban Army, and more are newly recruited homeless." "

Where did Gao Ran know, Yuan Tan opened his mouth, not thinking that it was more than 100,000.

He

came out to make a name for himself and make meritorious deeds, and he didn't take 100,000 people into his eyes at all.

However, Gao Ran's misunderstanding is also a misunderstanding, and he doesn't bother to explain.

Just in time for another wave of XP.

"Send out a scout horse to monitor the movements of Zhang Yanbu at all times!" Yuan

Tan ordered, and Gao Ran immediately understood the order and walked out of the camp.

And in Yecheng, since sending Yuan Tan off on the expedition, Yuan Shao didn't say anything.

But I was still a little worried about my eldest son, who had suddenly grown up.

"Duke Ming doesn't have to worry, Zhang Yan's command is just some rogue militia, the eldest prince is both civil and military, and with the help of General Gao Lan, he will definitely be able to win the battle!"

Jiang Qi saw Yuan Shao's worries, although he also felt that Yuan Tan was a little unreliable.

However, he still has a lot of trust in Gao Ran's strength, and immediately opened his mouth to persuade him.

Yuan Shao bowed slightly, but he didn't wait for him to speak again.

Outside the General's Mansion, a somewhat hasty footsteps suddenly sounded.

Guo Tu and the trial came together, and as soon as he entered the door, Guo Tu said breathlessly,

"Yu Minggong, the big thing is not good, Zhang Yan has joined the Huns and led the Huns into Kou and the state, and now most of the Huns have merged with the Black Mountain Army!"

After listening to the trial and Guo Tu's report, Yuan Shao suddenly stood up from his seat,

"Quickly send an order, let Yuan Tan stop marching and wait for support!" "

30,000 cavalry, or the cavalry of the Huns!

As the Huns who grew up on the grassland, they have an innate advantage over the princes of the Central Plains in terms of cavalry!

Moreover, Yuan Tan led the troops out of battle this time, and there were more than 30,000 people under his command, most of whom were infantry!

There are only 10,000 cavalry, where is the opponent of Zhang Yan and the Xiongnu coalition army?

Jiang Qi also knew that this matter could not be delayed, and immediately gave up his hand and said,

"Ming Gong rest assured, the last general will go here to catch up with the eldest prince!"

Yuan Shao suddenly received this news, and was a little at a loss for a while, and when he saw Jiang Qi asking for his life, he immediately nodded and said,

"Okay, just follow the general!"

At this time, Yuan Tan had already entered the territory of Bingzhou.

"According to the report of the spies, the Montenegrin army under Zhang Yan's department should be operating in this area. Yuan

Tan hit his horse and went out of battle, looked around the four fields, and everywhere he went, there was a withered scene.

This made Yuan Tan frown.

has been in this era for so long, and Yuan Tan has some understanding of the warlords of this era.

Don't say that the princes from all walks of life are rogues like Zhang Yan, unless they have to, or they really lack food and grass.

Otherwise, for the towns and villages passing by, most of them are just extorting grain and grass, even if the city is broken.

It is also rare to say that there was an act of slaughtering cities and burning villages.

But along the way, what Yuan Tan saw, whether it was a village or a town, was full of smoke and ruins

......!" Those beasts on the grassland!"

Yuan Tan scolded in a low voice, wanting to beat the horse and return to the camp, looking for a high view to discuss a thing or two.

But before he could turn his horse's head, two horses galloped from behind.

One is Gao Ran, and the other is Jiang Qi!

It's just that whether it is Gao Ran or Jiang Qi, their faces are quite gloomy at this moment.

Ignoring the courtesy, Jiang Qi directly clasped his fists with both hands on the horse,

"The eldest prince, the Ming Duke is urgently summoned, Zhang Yan colluded with the Xiongnu to cause chaos and annex the state, the number of men and horses has reached 100,000, and there are 30,000 Xiongnu elite cavalry to help!"

"This battle must not be rushed, and please ask the eldest prince to suspend the march and wait for support!"

Sure enough, it is the barbarian dogs on the grassland!

Yuan Tan's face flashed with anger, and he sneered

"General Jiang Qi rest assured, it is expected that the Huns' gang of brute dogs will enter the Koukou, at this moment, they are attacking in one fell swoop and driving them out of the territory of my Han family, how can they stop the march?"

The eldest prince is angry in his heart, and the last general also knows, but now is really not the time to be vindictive, the Huns have many elite horsemen, and our department is outnumbered, I am afraid that not only will I not be able to save the people of Bingzhou at that time, but I will also lose the army!"

Yuan Tan shook his head lightly, pointed to a village behind him that was still emitting black smoke, and said coldly,

"General Gao Ran and General Jiang Qi don't need to persuade more, I am the main general, and everything in the army is in charge of me!"

What are you kidding, with 10,000 iron horsemen with stirrups and horseshoes, if you can't even beat 30,000 Hun elite horsemen.

Why did he put so much effort into building these equipment?

Not to mention, he still had more than 20,000 infantry under his command!

With the effect bonus of the Ten Directions Array, those infantry under Zhang Yan's command could even be broken by the Euphorbia in one blow.

There is no need to worry at all!

" Pass on my general's order, and the whole army will speed up and find the location of Zhang Yanjun's base in the fastest time!"

"Those who colluded with the Xiongnu and entered the territory of our Han family will be killed without mercy!"
