Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 562: Storm in the Mountain
Zhang Yan stood up suddenly.

"Bai Bo Army, Xu Huang, Qian Zhao, I will never coexist with you!"

He walked quickly to the door of the meeting room and said, "Prepare for war immediately. I want to attack the Baibo Army!"

"No, General!" Several of his generals ran over to dissuade him.

"Why not? He tricked me into attacking Zhang Niujiao, and took the opportunity to attack my Black Mountain Army camp. This way, his White Wave Army's rear will be empty as well. I can follow suit and take revenge."

Zhang Yan hated Xu Huang to the core at this time, and he wanted to fly to the gate of Baibo Army's camp immediately and slaughter them.

"General Zhang, you forgot that the Baibo Army also has more than 40,000 soldiers and horses, and they are all brave and well-trained, and their combat power is far superior to ours. Xu Huang only brought 20,000 men to capture our Black Mountain Army camp, and there are still more than 20,000 men left in the camp. Our army brought 30,000 men, and Zhang Niujiao, who was just recruited, has 15,000 men. They are poorly dressed and cannot go into battle at all."

"And you have seen the V-shaped mountain stronghold of the Baibo Army. If we want to capture that mountain stronghold, let alone 30,000 people, even 60,000 people would be extremely difficult. General Zhang, please think twice."

Zhang Yan also understood that what they said made sense, but he couldn't swallow his anger no matter what.

"Xu Huang bullies me like this, should I just swallow my anger?"

"General Zhang, as the saying goes, if you have green mountains, you will never have to worry about firewood. We have 45,000 soldiers and horses, so we are still a powerful force. We will always have a chance to take revenge in the future. If we act rashly on impulse, I'm afraid we will never be able to recover."

Everyone tried to persuade him, but Zhang Yan sighed angrily.

"Well, we can only spare Xu Huang for now."

Seeing this, several generals breathed a sigh of relief. They were not afraid of fighting Zhang Niujiao, but they were not interested in fighting the Baibo Army and taking the initiative to attack.

"General Zhang is wise, this is the best. This camp originally belonged to our Black Mountain Army, but was occupied by Zhang Niujiao. Now it is a good opportunity to take it back."

Zhang Yan returned to her seat and suddenly remembered something.

"But this camp is short of supplies. We only brought some food with us this time. Most of the winter supplies were left in the mountain village. What should we do?"

This question stumped everyone, and for a moment, the conference room fell into silence.

Suddenly, Niu Er spoke up: "General Zhang, I have thought of a way out."

Zhang Yan was overjoyed: "Hurry up and tell me."

Niu Er said, "This time Zhang Niu Jiao went to Lufei County to plunder supplies, not recklessly, but after getting to know the situation clearly, he dared to go there. The caravan should be Yanzhou soldiers disguised as a merchant caravan, escorting a large amount of food, winter clothes, and a batch of sophisticated weapons, most of which were supported by Liu He to Cao Cao, the governor of Yanzhou. The enemy had 6,000 to 7,000 soldiers escorting them, while Zhang Niu Jiao dispatched 25,000 people, so I think his chances of winning are not low."

Zhang Yan suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. I thought this idiot was starving and had the guts to go after Liu He, but this is what happened. What you mean is, after he robs this batch of supplies, I will go and snatch it back from him?"

Zhang Yan couldn't help but get a little excited when he mentioned this method. Food and winter clothes are of course what is urgently needed now, and the weapons are what Zhang Yan really cares about. The weapons and armor produced in Yanmen are well-known and excellent. If his Black Mountain Army can form an army armed with these weapons, then its strength will definitely be greater than before.

Niu Er nodded and said, "Yes, that's exactly what I meant. First, our army needs this batch of supplies to survive the winter. Second, the Baibo Army is now even stronger, and it won't be long before they attack our army. Only if our army takes the initiative and completely swallows up Zhang Niujiao's forces and strengthens itself, can we fight against the Baibo Army."

"I also agree with Niu Er's proposal."

"I agree too!"

All the generals echoed in unison.

"Okay, let's take this opportunity to settle the grudge between Zhang Niujiao and me."

Zhang Yan looked extremely determined.

"All troops should hide in their houses and not make any noise. Pretend nothing happened. Find all those who have just surrendered and are likely to be close to Zhang Niu Jiao and put them under centralized surveillance. When Zhang Niu Jiao returns with his troops, I will catch him off guard!"

On the mountain road, Zhang Niujiao and the thousands of guards had been fighting for a long time. The opponent's fighting power was as strong as he expected. Twenty-five thousand people fighting against six or seven thousand people, but they couldn't gain an advantage for half a day. However, having more people is always beneficial, especially for a group of starving people. The potential they can burst out after seeing food and clothes should not be underestimated.

God helps those who work hard, and Zhang Niujiao finally gained some advantages.

The four generals on horseback, seeing that the situation was not good, decided to retreat.

"Retreat! We will come back to avenge our humiliation later. Retreat!"

The four men led the army and quickly retreated towards Luwei County.

"Haha, it's mine, all mine, I'm rich!"

Zhang Niu Jiao looked like a madman and pounced on the grains.

The men around him also came to the vehicles happily. They opened the sacks, took out the food inside, put on winter clothes, and some even picked up new weapons to practice.

Zhang Niujiao also took off his heavy outer coat, took out a new piece of armor and put it on. The soldiers surrounded him and praised him.

"The boss is indeed extraordinary and heroic."

"General, you are so brave. We are finally prosperous this time. With this batch of supplies, not to mention surviving the winter, it will be easy to improve the strength of our village."

Zhang Niujiao was overjoyed. He picked out a new big knife, walked to a small tree nearby that was as thick as his arm, and with one cut, the trunk was immediately cut off, with an extremely smooth cut.

"Haha, it's really a good sword. With such armor and weapons, it's no wonder that Liu He's army can dominate the world and be invincible. Now it's my Zhang Niu Jiao who gets the advantage. It's refreshing, really refreshing."

"Boss, something bad has happened..." A very harsh voice appeared very inappropriately at this time, causing Zhang Niujiao to frown instinctively. He turned his head to see who was so blind as to spoil the fun.

However, what caught my eye was a man in ragged clothes and disheveled hair. He seemed to be exhausted. After shouting this, he stumbled and fell to the ground.

Zhang Niujiao hurried over, and one of his men helped the man up. He lifted up his hair and recognized him immediately.

"Isn't this Ma Liuzi? Why are you running here instead of staying in the village?"

Ma Liuzi licked his lips and opened his mouth, but the sound that came out was very hoarse.

"Quick, bring some water." Zhang Niujiao hurriedly asked someone to bring a water bag and fed it to him, and he drank several gulps in a row.

"Hurry up and tell me what's going on!" Zhang Niujiao urged hurriedly.

Ma Liuzi took a few deep breaths and said, "Boss, Chu Feiyan... It's Chu Feiyan. He took advantage of your absence and suddenly led his troops to attack the mountain stronghold. He brought food and broth, and Niu Er was there to help. All the brothers... all of them..."

"What's going on? Tell me!" Zhang Niujiao was extremely anxious.

"It all belongs to him."

"What! Damn it, these bastards actually dared to betray me!" Zhang Niujiao threw the water bag heavily to the ground.

"Brothers, leave 4,000 people to sort out these supplies, and the rest of you put on new equipment and fight back with me. Kill that bastard Chu Feiyan and take back the mountain stronghold!"

Zhang Niu Jiao raised his arm and shouted, and the remaining 18,000 to 19,000 soldiers began to yell.

They had just received a large amount of supplies and new weapons, and their morale was high and full of confidence. Under the leadership of Zhang Niujiao, they rushed back quickly like a group of mad bulls.
