Chapter 71

Bo Rao's death made Military Commander Heishan Yu Du frightened.

In an instant, his hangover disappeared.

Yu Du was well aware of how strong Bo Rao was.

Yu Du admitted that his martial arts skills were not low, but he was only slightly stronger than Bo Rao.

Bo Rao was no match for Zhao Yun, and Yu Du knew that he was no match for Zhao Yun either.

Luckily, he let Bo Rao fight, and he didn't take the initiative to step forward.

Otherwise, the person who had just died might be him.

Zhao Yun was very strong, and Yu Du was a little scared and didn't know what to do.

Yu Du could become the second commander of the Heishan Army, so naturally, he didn't want to die so easily.

"Who else dares to fight? If no one dares, why not just surrender?"

Zhao Yun immediately raised his spear, and after calling out, seeing that no one dared to answer, he knew that the other party had lost their courage.

Hence, Zhao Yun attacked while the iron was still hot and continued to psychologically destroy the Heishan Bandit army.

Zhao Yun's aura was terrifying, and he dared to face 10,000 Heishan troops with only a thousand men.

Even beheaded Bo Rao in front of everyone.

When they heard Zhao Yun's words, everyone was frightened.

Nobody wants to be the second victim!

"Commander Yu, Zhao Yun is very strong, and I'm worried about us. I've already suggested previously that we don't go outside to fight, if you had listened to my words, then this wouldn't have happened."

Zhang Damu told Yu Du.

Yu Du was slightly displeased when he heard those words, and said in a deep voice:

"If we don't fight, how will we know about Zhao Yun's martial arts ability? Although Bo Rao is dead, we are not Zhao Yun's opponents, but fortunately, Zhao Yun only has a thousand men, and we still have ten thousand people, so what is there to be afraid of?"

Having said this, Yu Du turned around and said to the 10,000 troops behind him:

"Everyone, in this invasion of Changshan County, Commander Bo Rao treated you well and provided you with food and women that you could enjoy. Now that Commander Bo Rao has died in battle, do you think we should avenge Commander Bo Rao?"

"Take revenge!"

The crowd answered in unison.

Especially the soldiers and cavalry under the previous Bo Rao cheered the loudest.

Seeing the morale of the troops rising, Yu Du nodded in satisfaction and said: "Alright. Since everyone is willing to avenge Commander Bo Rao, then Commander Bo Rao will not die in vain.

Although Zhao Yun is strong, he only has only a thousand troops, as long as everyone does not fight Zhao Yun alone, our entire army will swarm him, and we will be able to avenge Commander Bo Rao!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The crowd cried out in unison.

Yu Du was also very clever. He knew that he was no match for Zhao Yun, so he gave up the idea of a one-on-one fight with Zhao Yun, and wanted to defeat Zhao Yun with an army advantage.

Following Yu Du's command, 10,000 soldiers rushed toward Zhao Yun's side.

Zhao Yun didn't dare to ignore this, seeing Heishan's bandit army which was dozens of times his own, he hurriedly ordered his thousand troops behind him to prepare for battle.

Immediately, the two sides fought.

Zhao Yun took the lead, and rushed left and right, and the bandits that were advancing in front of him fell to the ground in an instant.

Zhao Yun's white robe, silver spear, and even his war horse were instantly covered in blood.

The enemy that Zhao Yun killed in the middle of the field did not dare to come forward, he was like a god of war.

It was just that even though Zhao Yun was strong, he didn't have a strong enough army.

Moreover, in order to lure Yu Du and the others into battle, the warriors that Zhao Yun brought were not elite warriors, so naturally, they did not have the ability to compete against each other.

Yu Du gradually became superior due to the superiority of his troop numbers.

Although Yu Du saw that Zhao Yun had wiped out dozens of lives on his side in an instant, his eyelids jumped.

However, the troops on his side continued to advance, and the soldiers on the other side were constantly experiencing friction.

Yu Du smiled.

In terms of power consumption, Zhao Yun did not dare to compare his troops.

For a moment, Yu Du felt that he had already won.

After all, even though Zhao Yun was so strong, he would not fight him alone.

In the end, only Zhao Yun was left, and he was certain that Zhao Yun would not be able to win no matter how powerful he was!

At this moment, even Zhang Damu felt that the Heishan Army could win this battle.

Zhao Yun was well versed in the arts of war, and the Heishan Army had tasted the sweetness of this moment, and would naturally dare to advance to their deaths.

So Zhao Yun deliberately began to show his defeat by retreating slowly, and he attempted to get Yu Du and the others into the ambush encirclement.

"All troops, keep advancing, surround and kill Zhao Yun!"

Yu Du's face turned red, seeing that Zhao Yun had started to retreat, he thought he had won, and kept calling everyone to hurry.

"It's about time to do it!"

At the top of the hill in the distance, Han Yu saw the battle situation ahead and became excited. At this time, all of Heishan's bandit army had rushed over.

At this moment, even if they wanted to return to the city, it wouldn't be easy.

As the Heishan army gradually deepened, a war drum was suddenly struck, and a murderous scream shook the sky.

Zhang He and Gao Lan each led three thousand soldiers and cavalries' to attack from both sides.

At the same time, Ju Shou and Yu Jin each led 1,500 cavalries to pass through the Heishan Army and cut off the rear of the Heishan Army from both sides in an attempt to cut off the Heishan Army's escape route.

Seeing the thousands of soldiers and cavalry that suddenly came out, Yu Du was shocked.

"Commander Yu, we have been caught in an ambush and failed to kill Zhao Yun. The most urgent thing right now is to retreat quickly!"

At the side, Zhang Damu reminded.

Of course, Yu Du knew that he was being ambushed.

However, Yu Du has a bit of hatred, and according to him, he can almost catch up to Zhao Yun.

But Yu Du also knew that he now had to retreat first.

"Retreat!"

In desperation, Yu Du could only order the retreat.

This time, he lost the battle.

Yu Du wanted to retreat, but how could Zhao Yun allow Yu Du to successfully retreat.

At this time, there were still 600 or 700 soldiers out of the 1,000 troops led by Zhao Yun.

Under Zhao Yun's leadership, they turned around and fought back with the Heishan Army.

Zhao Yun's martial arts were unrivaled, and at this moment, he didn't know how many people had died at his hands.

The scene was reversed for a while, and the bandits were slaughtered by Zhao Yun again.

After a while, Zhang He and Gao Lan charged from both sides of the enemy.

Zhang He took the lead, headed straight for the enemy's rear, and attacked Yu Du, the leader of the Heishan Army.

Yu Du had no idea how strong Zhang He was, and before he even had the chance to fight back, Zhang He's sword had already slashed out from under the horse.

With Yu Du dead in the blink of an eye, Zhang Damu was unable to lead this Heishan bandit army.

As a result, the Heishan army was like a headless chicken and the situation was chaotic in an instant.

Many people were killed and injured from being trampled.

At the same time, the cavalry led by Ju Shou and Yu Jin had also circled to the front of the city and behind the Heishan Army.

There was no longer any place for the Heishan army to retreat.

After this, it was only a matter of defeating the Heishan Army.

The troops and cavalry all fought hard together, and many Heishan soldiers were killed and injured in an instant.

Originally Yu Du, Bo Rao, and the others brought 10,000 people out of town to battle.

Now, Yu Du and Bo Rao, the two military commanders of Heishan, have died in battle, and the Heishan bandit army has been defeated.

In this kind of bandit, the leader is often the backbone of the army.

Without a backbone, everyone would be afraid.

There were more than 10,000 Heishan soldiers before, and now less than 6,000 are still alive.

But within half an hour, more than 4,000 people were instantly killed or injured.

If it continues like this, I'm afraid that the whole army will be wiped out.

Zhang Damu watched the Heishan army continue to fall, shocked, and he couldn't take it anymore in his heart.

After all, he was also a member of the Heishan Army.

Therefore, Zhang Damu shouted: "Everyone, stop fighting, there is no need to make more casualties, we surrender!"

Zhang He, Zhao Yun, and the others also made their subordinates shout in unison:

"Surrender!"

At this moment, the Heishan bandit army was completely defeated.

They couldn't run away, they couldn't fight back, and surrendering was the only way out for them.

"We surrender!"

"We surrender!"

The Heishan bandits put down their weapons one by one and shouted in unison to surrender.

The battle has ended.

It ended in a huge victory for Han Yu's side.

In this battle, more than 4,000 people were killed and wounded, and more than 5,000 people were captured.

The commander Yu Du and Bo Rao of the Heishan army had been killed as well.

On Han Yu's side, the total number of casualties was only over 600.

This was a huge win for him!

Next Han Yu asked Zhang He, Gao Lan, Yu Jin, and the others to clear the battlefield and bury the soldiers who died in the battle.

...

Later, Han Yu met up with Zhang Damu, the Commander of Heishan.

Han Yu said to Zhang Damu: "This time I came to Changshan County to eradicate the Heishan bandits, this is all to restore the stability of Changshan County, and I don't want to kill all of you, that's why I let you live.

Now that Yuanshi County has been invaded by you, Yu Du, Bo Rao, and others, however, Yu Du and Bai Rao are dead, you are the only one left, and I should severely punish you.

It's just that now I will give you the opportunity to atone for your sins. If you can solve it, I will forget your past deeds and let you go. "

When Zhang Damu heard that Han Yu didn't kill him right away, he was a little surprised, so he bowed and said: "The general can speak!"

"The Heishan Army came down from the mountain at this time, messing with our state and territory, but since you have left the mountain, you don't need to come back anymore.

Now, as the prefect of Changshan, I plan to put all of you on the list and bring you under the jurisdiction of the local government.

There were still hundreds of thousands of Heishan bandit soldiers in the city. If you can persuade all of them to surrender to me and not defect, you will get a great accomplishment from me."

Han Yu looked at Zhang Damu and said lightly.

"This..."

Zhang Damu seemed troubled.

"What? Is there a problem?"

Han Yu frowned, and his voice gradually increased.

Zhang Damu explained: "To be honest with the general, although I am one of the commanders of the army, I only have more than 40,000 people in the city under me, I will persuade them to surrender.

It's just that the others are Yu Du and Bai Rao's subordinates, I'm afraid it will be difficult to persuade them to surrender!"

Actually, He had no problem persuading the Heishan bandits to surrender, and Zhang Damu believed that he could do it.

However, Zhang Damu wished to have some of his troops taken back to the mountains rather than being left so as not to be able to return to the Taihang Mountains.

Han Yu's face sank, and he shouted sharply: "I don't care about this. I don't care what means you use, all I want is the result.

I can't wait, I will only give you three days, after three days if you don't open the city to surrender, or if you still dare to conspire.

I, Han Yu, swear that I will kill all the Heishan troops under you, Zhang Damu."

Hearing this, Zhang Damu was terrified and begged for mercy: "General, please don't kill me!

Yu Du, Bo Rao, and the others still have a lot of troops in the city, so I'm afraid they won't listen to me."

Knowing that what Zhang Damu said was true, Han Yu immediately said: "I will let Zhang He and Yu Jin each lead 2,000 troops into the city with you, but if they see anything strange about you, they will finish you off!"

Han Yu was so ruthless that Zhang Damu was shocked.

Zhang Damu said quickly: "If any generals help me, I will be able to persuade them to surrender."

Han Yu nodded and said, "I believe that you would not dare to conspire anything, otherwise you would end up like Yu Du and Bo Rao."

"Don't worry, General, I won't think anything of it at all."

Zhang Damu quickly shook his head.

He had already seen Han Yu's military strength, and naturally, he had no intention of daring to fight back.

Because he knew that even if Zhang Yan came, he might not even be his match.

What's more he!

"Go!"

Han Yu is a bit tired

Han Yu would only wait three days, and he believed that the Heishan Army would not dare to resist.

Even if they resisted, with Zhang He and Yu Jin's strength, they could easily break down the city gates and welcome him in.
