Chapter 201: Each Decision

What should the Montenegro Army do now?

In response to Zhang Yan's question, Wang Dang touched the goatee on his chin and pondered for a moment.

Regarding Su Yao, the reason why he knew so clearly was because of Zhang Yan's self-inflicted robbery.

He initially disapproved of this reckless action.

As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win a hundred battles. The treasure transport team that suddenly appeared to pay tribute to the imperial court was huge in scale and the team stretched endlessly. It was obvious that a major change had occurred in the north.

However, Zhang Yan seemed to be dazzled by the recent successive victories. He felt that he was the boss and had become more powerful, so he ignored the wise words of his counselor Wang Dang and insisted on attacking him. He wants to use a brilliant victory and massive wealth to completely unify Montenegro.

However, things in this world are not that simple, and how can everything go according to your wishes?
Seeing that he could not be persuaded, the mature Wang Dang retreated behind him. While collecting information through his connections in his hometown in Jinyang, he patiently waited for Zhang Yan to suffer a loss and have the opportunity to beg for himself again.

Now that the fire was almost done, he said unhurriedly:
"In my opinion, we must do three things as soon as possible."

"First, send someone to contact the other rebel marshals in the Taihang Mountains and tell them about the combat capabilities of this group of imperial troops, so that they should not act rashly, lest they follow in the footsteps of General Yang Feng."

Once they abandon Shangdang, they will be cut off from north to south. At that time, their Black Mountain Army can be said to have returned to before the uprising, from a large force spanning You, Ji, Bing, and Sili, to returning to entrenched territory. Montenegro in its infancy.

So many years of hard work are all in vain.

"Second, immediately shrink your troops and horses, clear the way, abandon some unnecessary strongholds, avoid conflicts, and concentrate your strength to deal with the possible attack of Governor Su."

"I know that the evacuation failed. This is something that is difficult for you to accept, but it is also to preserve the strength of our Montenegrin Army."

"If we make him anxious and determined to destroy us, what do you think are the chances of winning now? Who can take on this important task? Are we going to let General Zhang personally take action? What if something unexpected happens?"

"As Sun Tzu said in The Art of War, the master must not be angry and raise an army, and the general must not be angry and lead to war."

"The lessons learned this time are not unimportant, but losing Yang Feng has only hindered our development over the past few years and has not harmed our fundamentals."

"You have all heard the terror of Governor Su. Not only the Xiongnu king Shanyu Zuoxian and others were no match for him, but General Yang Feng was also brutally murdered. Our Montenegrin army is going to fight with him now. Who of you is sure of victory? ?”

Having said this, Wang Dang paused for a moment, and then slowly uttered four words:

Moreover, this place of Shangdang, not to mention the hundreds of thousands of mountain people in the local river valley, just talking about the location of this place, is stuck between Hanoi in the south and the Black Mountains in the north.

"Third, find out the current situation of Governor Su as soon as possible, find out his purpose and details, and then make plans."

"Evacuate the party!"

"But Governor Nasu unknowingly pulled up an escort team of nearly ten thousand people."

When all the generals heard this, their faces showed horror.

Wang Dang obviously saw their thoughts, shook his head and sighed, and explained:
"Everyone, it's not just someone who has the ambition of others and destroys his own prestige."

Their Black Mountain Army had been in Taihang for several years, making mountains, forests, rivers and swamps their home, living in valleys close to water and never giving up any mountain valley.

"Of course, we have to prepare for the worst, that is"

Wang Dang's words caused all the generals to fall into silence.

Evacuate the party?

"Don't forget, General Zhang Yan only wanted to rob this time and was not prepared for a fight to the death."

"You are all heroes of Wuthering Mountains. You should know that if you keep the green hills, you are not afraid of running out of firewood."

They knew what Wang Dang said made sense, but it was really unacceptable for them to give up here.

Zhang Yan clenched her fists when she heard this, feeling full of regret for this robbery. The military advisor's words were true, he was not prepared for a decisive battle at all.
Not only were several generals not brought, but the troops were also a joint force cobbled together from various villages.

He originally just wanted to sit in the rear, command all villages, and conduct a joint robbery operation based on Yang Feng's tribe.

Unexpectedly, the situation suddenly turned around and ended up in such a situation.

Now people from all the cottages are watching him here, paying attention to the decision-making of his boss. It is really a dilemma, difficult, difficult, difficult.
Zhang Yan was silent for a long time, and finally spoke slowly:
"I also understand Mr. Wang's concerns."

"However, evacuating the Shangdang is really too serious."

"Our Black Mountain Army has been in Taihang for several years. How can we give up so easily just because of a single defeat?"

"I think we should first follow Mr. Wang's suggestion, shrink our troops and investigate the enemy's situation, especially the situation and purpose of Governor Su in front of us."

"As for withdrawing to Montenegro and giving up joining the Party, we can wait and see."

"If the army led by Governor Su is really determined to destroy us, then it won't be too late for us to make plans."

Zhang Yan's words made all the generals breathe a sigh of relief. They knew that Zhang Yan had left a buffer for them and did not directly order evacuation.

This also made them feel better. After all, retreating to Montenegro was really difficult for them to accept.

Especially since there are many remnants of the former Yang Feng here who are from the valleys around Shangdang. Giving up their hometown and traveling to the Black Mountains with these people would simply cost them their lives.

In this way, all the generals of the Montenegrin Army took action according to the suggestions of Zhang Yan and Wang Dang.

They began to shrink their troops, abandon some unnecessary strongholds, and were forbidden to divide their troops and act blindly. At the same time, they sent scouts and envoys to explore the situation of the imperial army.

Zhang Yan's move can definitely not be regarded as reckless, and can even be said to be prepared.

He knew very well that this time their Montenegrin Army might really have encountered a powerful opponent.

They are different from those officers and soldiers in the past.

But, because of this, he couldn't give up.

Zhang Yan is not a character who just wants to live a small life by robbing families.

His eyes are on the Central Plains and the world.

How can you shrink back when you encounter a problem?

This is the first challenge that must be overcome.

Only in this way can he show his heroic nature.

Only the leaders from all over the world will convince him and trust him.

Otherwise, if the imperial court comes to attack, he will abandon the land and run away. How will he lead this team in the future?
He returned to Montenegro in despair. Who will obey him in the future?

Zhang Yan wanted to use this battle to warn the officers and soldiers that he was not to be trifled with.

Those officers and soldiers must suffer a big loss so that they will grit their teeth and admit their rule.

And this Shixiazhai is just right. It is located near a mountain and a lake, so it is absolutely impregnable!

Because the front gate is close to the mountain road, there is even less than a hundred people available for attack.

And now he is mobilizing heavily and filling the stronghold with 5,000 soldiers.

With such a scale, even if tens of thousands of troops attack day and night, he is confident that he can defend it for ten days and a half.

Not to mention that he still had six to seven thousand soldiers ready for battle in the valley behind the mountain stronghold, waiting for reinforcements.

You must not give up this party place lightly!

At present, those officers and soldiers seemed to be just a passing escort team, not a large-scale encirclement and suppression specifically targeting him.

Using this as a stronghold, stabilizing the front, guarding the stronghold, and constantly rotating soldiers, it will not be a problem to drag away these officers and soldiers for a month.

Even if returning really offends these officers and soldiers and they are determined to continue the siege and they really can't hold on any longer, it's not too late to retreat.

But before that, Zhang Yan must hit those officers and soldiers hard and make them pay a sufficient price until they collapse with blood at their mouths.

Only in this way, those officers and soldiers would not dare to think of attacking other copycat villages.

At that time, the government had to compromise and accept the fact that Zhang Yan ruled Taihang.

And just when Zhang Yan made up her mind to stick to it and prepare for the war with all her strength.

Su Yao was also unambiguous.

In order to succeed in the battle, Zhang Yan ran away and got that special hidden achievement.

Not only did Su Yao once again spend a lot of experience to purchase a blue-quality weapon, he even activated a meeting function for the first time to convene everyone to solve the current problem.

Then, something happened that shocked Zhang Yan and others.

Just one day.

In the morning of the next day, when everyone in the village was intensively preparing for defense and mobilization, flags were seen in the narrow mountain road ahead, and the Su-character flag was fluttering in the wind.

Su Yao is here.

Moreover, what shocked Zhang Yan and everyone even more was that
This time, it is no longer the small team of hundreds of people in the reconnaissance report, but an army that can be seen as far away as possible, probably numbering in the thousands.
