Such a large-scale dispatch of scouts, the confidential surname cannot be guaranteed.

After all, there are people who know people but not people. Among the dozens of lobbyists who put them back, there must be people who disobey and agree in person, and turn around and report to Zhang Yan.

But Yuan Mai didn't care at all, and this is the effect.

These prisoners who were released did not know each other, nor had they met each other, but knew that there were many people who were released to do the work of rebellion. This achieved Yuan Mai's goal, so that Zhang Yan knew that some of the tribes in Heishan were rebelled, but he was not sure who was rebelled? It caused the situation of suspicion between the tribes in Heishan, and finally tried to defeat them one by one!

"The dog raised Yuan Zizi, this move is really cruel!"

After Zhang Yan received the news, she gritted her teeth in anger, slapped the table and scolded her. She urgently summoned the Qu commanders from all departments to come to the military for discussion.

After hearing Zhang Yan's words, the Qushangs from each department looked at me, I looked at you, I don't know what to say? Moreover, each other's eyes were a little confused. Everyone looked like traitors, afraid that the companions standing beside him would surrender to the officers and soldiers and stab themselves in the back.

For a moment, everyone was in danger, and the whole house was silent.

Zhang Yan sat on the tiger-skin seat and glanced at the generals of Qu, both sides, big and small, with more than one hundred people.

Among these people, the larger ones are Lei Gong, Xionggen, Zhang Baiqi, Bailu, Wulu, Zuoxiao and others, and there are four or five thousand people under their command. The others cannot be named, and the scales are different. There are thousands of people with a little more, two or three hundred less, and the least one has only eighty people. However, they also set up their own business and claim to be the coach of Qu.

After glances, the stations in the camp were so dark that they looked calm, and they didn't look like traitors when they looked at each other; after glances, they all looked strange, and none of them felt relieved!

After all, greed for wealth and prosperity is the true surname of a person. As long as there is a way to go, who is willing to become a bandit? Faced with the olive branch provided by Yuan Mai, some people cannot withstand the temptation and surrender to the officers and soldiers. This is really normal!

"Oh... I can't fight this battle anymore, withdraw the troops!" Zhang Yan sighed helplessly, and decided to withdraw like a deflated ball.

Even Zhang Yan was helpless, and the other Qu generals were naturally silent. This time, the attack on Dingxiang, the various troops suffered heavy losses and people were tired of war. Most of the Qu generals had wanted to withdraw long ago, but Zhang Yan didn't speak, and no one dared to raise them. At this moment, since Zhang Yan said that he had withdrawn from the army, naturally no one raised objections.

"General Zhaolie said very much. Let's retreat to Taihang for the time being, and slowly look for annihilation! We must first settle the internal affairs before resolutely resisting foreign countries. Only by clearing up the traitors who collude with officers and soldiers can we fight against the Yuan family!"

After hearing the echoes of the commanders from various Qu, Zhang Yan made a decision: "Transfer our military orders and withdraw the camp at the third update tonight!"

Zhang Yan didn't know which of the tribes in Heishan became a traitor, but Yuan Mai knew that it was not long after it was dark, and some prisoners sent back one after another to report to Yuan Mai for persuading surrender.

Xu Shu picked up a pen and counted it. According to the rewards of these prisoners, the strongest of the troops who were lured to surrender was Bai Luo. He had more than 4,000 troops under his command, which was considered a powerful faction among the troops of Heishan.

In addition to Bai Luo, there were two other commanders with more than 1,000 troops under Qu, one named Luo Hu, with 1,300 people in his hands, and the other named Zhang Tianba, with 1,100 strong men under his hands. In addition to these three major strengths, the troops of other units were about a few hundred.

The names of Qushangs of various tribes in Heishan are strange because they are not their real names, but they are fabricated by themselves. Rebellion and uprising against the court are a serious crime to destroy the nine clans. Therefore, the leaders of these rebel army changed their names and fictionalized a name according to their own characteristics. Strictly speaking, it is more like their nickname.

The envoy sent by Bairao also leaked the military information to Yuan Mai, "Master Bai Qu asked me to tell the governor that in the third update tonight, all the Heishan Army will withdraw from the camp. Master Bai Qu hopes that the envoy can lead the troops to pursue. Master Qu is willing to cooperate inside and outside to block them on the way to retreat from the Heishan Army. The envoy will then pursue and attack forward and backward, and will surely defeat Zhang Yan!"

"Very good. I can persuade Bai Zao to surrender. It's your great contribution. Go down and receive the reward!"

After supporting the prisoners, Yuan Mai immediately summoned Xu Shu, Wang Ling, Guo Huai and others to discuss. If what Bai Zao said was true, taking advantage of the Black Mountain bandits' retreat, they would definitely be able to seriously damage the opponent.

But Yuan Mai also had concerns. If he used a trick to surrender in vain and lured himself to pursue him in the middle of the night, the Black Mountain Army set up an ambush in a hidden place, but he would suffer losses.

However, the opportunity is rare. If you are afraid of your head, how can you achieve great things? Everyone discussed and formulated a plan to divide the troops and support each other.

Wang Shuang led three thousand cavalry to follow the main attack behind the Heishan Army. Guo Huai, Wang Ling, Zhou Cang and Zhang Xun each led 3,000 people to advance in four directions, echoing each other and attacking and defending each other; Yuan Mai and Xu Shu led the remaining 4,000 people to support the palace, so that they would not be afraid of the Black Mountain Army's fraud.

At the beginning of this attack on Dingxiang, Gongsun Xu worked very hard, but after suffering a heavy blow in the first attack, he began to do things perfunctorily and only worked but not work. This made Zhang Yan very dissatisfied with Gongsun Xu and his gang.

Therefore, Zhang Yan did not notify Gongsun Xu in advance for the retreat tonight. Instead, he waited until the camps of various tribes in Heishan were almost the same, and then he sent someone to notify Gongsun Xu and others. In this way, Gongsun Xu's men fell behind, and the heavy responsibility of the rear was naturally fallen on them.

It is the beginning of September, and the late autumn climate in northern Shanxi is cold.

The night is dark and the wind is high, and the north wind is howling.

More than 60,000 Heishan troops received the order from Zhang Yan and drove their camp eastward in the middle of the night. For a moment, the torches swayed, and people shouted and horses were neighing.

"What? The troops of the Montenegro have already withdrawn?"

Gongsun Xu was hearing this news in his sleep, and hurriedly posed for his helmet and armor to go out of the camp to check it out. He saw that in the dark night, the torches everywhere were like stars, and cars and horses were catching in the wilderness, dust was everywhere, and all the people were retreating eastward, but his own battalion had not moved yet.

"Zhang Yan, who is raised by the dog, is in jealous! I want us to give him the palace back, the dog said it is so bad!" Gongsun Xu gritted his teeth and cursed.

He hurriedly ordered the camp to withdraw. The soldiers were awakened in their sleep. They rubbed their sleepy eyes and began to pack their bags. They didn't understand why they suddenly said they had withdrawn?

However, before their camp was pulled out, the sound of horse hooves sounded behind them. Wang Shuang led three thousand cavalry to sweep over. Taking advantage of Gongsun Xu's subordinates' unpreparedness, the "White Feather Cavalry" fired arrows at once, and a rain of arrows shot over, killing seven or eight hundred soldiers who had not yet fully awakened.

"No, Yuan Bing is chasing him, the whole army retreats quickly! There are no tent supplies, the whole army retreats quickly!"

After the Battle of Dingxiang, Gongsun Xu's troops lost more than 2,500 people, leaving only about 4,000 troops. At this moment, they were killed by Yuan's cavalry and lost nearly a thousand more. If they did not break through quickly, Gongsun Jun would probably end up with annihilation!

With Gongsun Xu's order, more than 3,000 soldiers abandoned their supplies and retreated after the torches of the Heishan Army. In a hurry, the army had no fighting spirit and fled eastward like a flood that broke the dike.

Seeing that the Black Mountain Army did not use the trick of surrender, Wang Shuang immediately ordered people to raise fire as a call, send signals to Wang Ling, Guo Huai and other four men, summoned them to fight out together, and chase the bandits.

For a moment, the officers and soldiers of the four routes rushed out at the same time, and shouts of killing throughout the mountains and fields resounded throughout the sky. Wang Shuang also continued to urge the cavalry of his subordinates to chase them. After a short period of time, he harvested thousands of heads and killed the thieves.

Gongsun Xu knew that the situation was hopeless, so he led Gongsun Fan and Shan Jing, and led more than a thousand defeated soldiers and followed the Heishan army to retreat to Taihang Mountain in panic.

Suddenly, there was a shout among the retreating Black Mountain Army. Bai Luo's troops suddenly turned against each other, waving their weapons in their hands to stop the retreating bandits, shouting loudly: "We have surrendered to Yuan Bingzhou, those who put down their weapons will not die!"

Bai Luo's subordinates had 4,000 people walking in the middle of the team. At this moment, they suddenly turned against each other and forced the more than 15,000 Black Mountain troops behind, making it difficult to pass in urgent need.

Seeing Bai Luo's troops turning against the court, Luo Hu, Zhang Tianba and other Qu generals also started a crime, turned their fingers and intercepted the Heishan Army behind them. For a moment, the rebellious Heishan Army had a total of seven or eight thousand people, and they bet on the more than 15,000 Heishan bandits behind them and could not pass a single step.

After being blocked by rebels such as Bai Luo, Gongsun Xu, who was dragged at the back, had nowhere to escape and was surrounded by the pursuers behind him.

In the chaos, Wang Shuang was like a tiger in a flock of sheep, and met Gongsun Xu face to face. He had no war with him. He gently stretched out his ape's arms, grabbed Gongsun Xu's belt, captured him alive again, and laughed to the sky and said, "Haha... your kid fell into grandpa's hands again, and he was not convinced?"

Just when Wang Shuang captured Gongsun Xu alive, Guo Huai also led his troops to kill him. Seeing Gongsun Fan like an important general, he bent his bow and arrow, hitting his forehead with an arrow, and suddenly fell off his horse and died of a life of death.

Hearing that Bai Luo, Luo Hu, Zhang Tianba and others betrayed, Zhang Yan was furious and returned to attack and killed Bai Luo, and vowed to eliminate the scum in the Black Mountain Army to the death.

In the dark night, sixty or 70,000 Black Mountain troops were killed by themselves, and more than 15,000 officers and soldiers were mixed together. The battle situation was unprecedentedly fierce. Flesh and flesh and blood were flying everywhere.

The fight ended until dawn. More than 15,000 Black Mountain bandits who were intercepted by Bai Luo and other rebels were killed in the battle. The remaining 8,000 were all captured by officers and soldiers. Gongsun Xu's men and horses were all destroyed. Gongsun Xu's uncle and nephew were captured and one person was killed in the battle. Only Shan Jing escaped from the cavalry.

Bai Luo, Luo Hu and others who betrayed the Black Mountain Army were not much better. They were attacked by Zhang Yan and the bandits dragged behind, and almost all of them were killed. Bai Luo, Zhang Tianba and other commanders were killed, and only more than a thousand soldiers were able to survive until dawn and surrendered to the officers and soldiers.

When the Heishan Army invaded Dingxiang, more than 110,000 people were there, but when they retreated, there were less than 40,000. After this battle, the main force of the Heishan Army was basically disintegrated, and its vitality was severely damaged, and it was no longer able to threaten Hebei and the two states.

Standing on a high place, looking at the corpses of the Black Mountain Army everywhere, wolf smoke lingering and the broken Black Mountain flag everywhere, Zhang Yan couldn't help but cry like rain, beating his chest and stamping his feet: "My Black Mountain Army, this battle was defeated so badly, Yuan Mai, Yuan Mai, I am incompatible with you, I, Zhang Yan, will make a comeback one day!"

The battle ended and the smoke dissipated.

Xu Shu sent people to reorganize the captured 8,000-life Black Mountain bandits and the surrendered ones, asking them to clean up the battlefield, then follow them south to Hanoi, and then reorganize them. After this battle, Yuan Maijun also suffered a lot of losses and urgently needed to replenish them. These bandits were trained slightly, so they could still be used as cannon fodder.

Under the flag of the siege, Wang Shuang brought Gongsun Xu to see Yuan Mai, kicked him down, and shouted, "When I see my governor, why don't you kneel down?"

Gongsun Xu gritted his teeth and opened his mouth, closing his eyes and silently.

Yuan Mai snorted coldly and said, "I spared your life for Zilong's sake. You don't want to repent, but instead invaded my territory more and more. I won't spare you this time!"

He ordered his orders and said, "Come on, push this guy down and kill him!"

A moment later, as the sword and axe hand fell, a cold light fell, Gongsun Xu's head and head spewed out like a spring. Since then, the Gongsun family, which once dominated the northern land, was completely destroyed and completely withdrew from the stage of history!
