Just when Yuan Shao asked Chen Lin to write the manifesto, Zhang Yan had already issued the manifesto calling on all heroes in the world to jointly attack Yuan Shao.

This manifesto was written by Ruan Yu himself, with fierce words and criticisms. Every word is written by pearls, which clearly reveals Yuan Shao's crime of killing the monarch.

Before Yuan Shao's manifesto was released, a scout there brought the manifesto to attack Yuan Shao. After Yuan Shao saw this manifesto, he was angry and unable to calm down and fainted.

Tian Feng quickly asked someone to help Yuan Shao lie on the side of the road, then picked up the manifesto and watched it together. After reading it, the two of them were sweating profusely on their foreheads, and they had to admire the author of the manifesto.

The manifesto is very elegant and gorgeous, and it also describes the story in a vivid and colorful way, and does not contain dirty words. In the eyes of Tian Feng and Chen Lin, this manifesto is truly unique.

"Oh!" Tian Feng sighed heavily and said slowly, "Zhang Yan was very proud of the people and was well prepared. It seems that the lord has been punished for the crime of regicide this time! The only feasible thing now is to publish the manifesto you wrote as soon as possible, which may confuse the public and let the heroes in the world watch the changes."

Chen Lin nodded and said to Tian Feng: "Military advisor, can I take this manifesto away?"

Tian Feng knew very well that Chen Lin admired the rhetoric and literary talent of this manifesto, and took it away for appreciation. Not only him, but he also admired the literary talent of the author of the manifesto very much, and he wished he could meet him in person. But the manifesto did not leave its name and did not know who wrote it.

"You can take this manifesto away, but you must not let outsiders see it. I will block all the news about this manifesto, and it will cause turmoil to the morale of the army."

Chen Lin understood Tian Feng’s meaning and immediately said, “The official understands!”

In fact, Chen Lin was Yuan Shao's marching secretary. Most of the manifestos and official documents were written by Chen Lin, so Chen Lin knew more about the military secrets in Yuan Shao's army than anyone else. He was also regarded as a confidant by Yuan Shao. But in fact, he did not regard himself as Yuan Shao's confidant, but just as a relationship between superiors and subordinates, and he was not even loyal to Yuan Shao.

Chen Lin took the manifesto away and after leaving the tent, Tian Feng called the military doctor and asked him to diagnose Yuan Shao.

The military doctor came and said that Yuan Shao had just fainted from anger and had recovered after a while. He prescribed another medicine for Yuan Shao to take.

At the same time, Zhang Yan's army was waiting for the official road, waiting for the arrival of Wen Chou's army.

After a stick of incense, Wen Chou indeed led the army to appear. Like Yan Liang, he kept rushing to the front of the team, but what was a little different from Yan Liang was that when Wen Chou saw the official road ahead full of enemy troops waiting for him, he decisively ordered the army to stop advancing and stay on standby.

Wen Chou frowned and looked as sharp as an eagle and falcon. He quickly glanced at the army ahead. In front of him were rows of iron-armed cavalry armed to his teeth. Even the war horses under his seat were wrapped in a layer of armor, and the war horses were locked together by iron chains. Each soldier held a strange weapon in his hand, like a stick or a thorn, and he couldn't tell his name.

In addition, these iron-armored cavalry were stained with blood to a greater or lesser extent. Behind them were soldiers who could not see at first sight, and on their wings, thousands of crossbowmen were scattered, and the entire army was surrounded in a fan shape.

Where is Yan Liang?

Wen Chou is unknown, but according to his calculations, Yan Liang may have suffered a tragic accident or had been lured from the mountain by the enemy.

In short, Yan Liang has not lived or died, and the whereabouts of the entire army are unknown.

Wen Chou muttered in his heart that Yan Liang was leading the way in front of him, and all he brought were the elite cavalry of the Jizhou army, with 5,000 elite soldiers. It was impossible to say that they would disappear. They must have been led by the enemy.

Before Wen Chou could make a decision, he saw the enemy's camp suddenly waving the flag, and the iron-armed cavalry lined up in front, swaying tall, and ten horses rushed over slowly. The crossbowmen scattered on both wings also began to move, always keeping pace with the iron-armed cavalry.

Wen Chou sneered, waved the spear in his hand forward, and shouted loudly: "Kill!"

With Wen Chou's order, Wen Chou was the first to rush out, rode his horse and spear forward quickly, and the cavalry behind him rushed over.

The two armies confronted each other head-on, without conspiracy, no tricks, and no ambush. What they fought for was strength.

Seeing Wen Chou leading his army to rush over, Zhang Yan, who was in the central army, smiled. He immediately ordered Xu Chu to lead another thousand iron chain horses to detour from the flanks, preparing to encircle, hoping to destroy Wen Chou like he would destroy Yan Liang.

The cavalry rushing to the front also began to speed up the speed. The cavalry rushed towards Wen Chou and others with great enthusiasm.

A moment later, there was a loud "boom" sound, and the two armies were hedging together. Wen Chou raised his gun and stabbed him, but the iron spear in his hand could not penetrate the armor of the enemy soldiers. Instead, because he was too strong, he rushed a cavalry from the horse's back.

Once the cavalry was dropped, he fell heavily to the ground. However, because the rows of horses were always kept a distance, they were not trampled by the later war horses. Instead, they quickly got up from the ground and rushed forward quickly.

At this time, the other nine soldiers waved their maces and attacked Wen Chou. Wen Chou immediately raised his gun to parry, but at this moment, the horse under Wen Chou's seat suddenly let out a hysterical scream. The war horse, which was in pain, fell to the ground and overturned Wen Chou from the horse's back.

Wen Chou then noticed that the soldier who had just knocked off his war horse was back, waving his mace and hitting the unprepared war horse under Wen Chou's seat.

Fortunately, Wen Chou was quick and a kite turned over and stood up from the ground. Unexpectedly, two maces attacked him in front of him. He took a breath and immediately came another backflip, avoiding a disaster.

At this time, the cavalry behind Wen Chou also rushed over and stabbed the iron-armored cavalry with weapons. But they knew that the defense of these iron-armored cavalry was so strong that their spear could not penetrate the armor on their bodies. One of them was not careful and was killed one after another by the iron-armored cavalry.

Seeing this, Wen Chou couldn't help frowning. He saw rows of armored cavalry behind him. Even if the people in the first row were killed, the people in the second row would immediately fill the gap. Moreover, these armored cavalry were not easy to deal with, and his bravery could not play any role at this time and almost lost his life.

"Swoosh swish swish..."

Arrows like locusts suddenly shot overwhelmed. The cavalry behind Wen Chou was immediately shot down, and many people fell off their horses.

Wen Chou immediately turned over and jumped onto a war horse, and suddenly saw an iron-armored cavalry slowly detouring from the flank, as if he wanted to cut off his way back.

Wen Chou made a quick decision, turned his horse's head immediately, and ordered: "Retreat! Retreat!"

With Wen Chou's order, the army turned its head, and the back team turned into front teams, retreating quickly.

Arrows kept coming from behind. Wen Chou lay on the horse's back and looked back, but inadvertently saw a large wooden sign standing by the roadside. The sign read "Beware of ambush here". At the top of the sign, there was a bloody head hanging. He had excellent eyesight. He looked at it at one glance and saw that on the pale face with blood, there were big eyes that were as big as copper bells, which turned out to be Yan Liang.

Suddenly, Wen Chou felt a palpitation in his heart. Yan Liang, who had been with him for many years, was actually killed!

shock!

Apart from shock, Wen Chou never felt anything again.

Yan Liang's death also indicates that the five thousand elite cavalry he brought were wiped out, and the other party also had an almost invincible chain chain horse formation. How could he fight this battle?

Seeing Wen Chou retreating with his army, Zhang Yan did not order a pursuit. After all, his cavalry was all heavy cavalry and he could not catch up with Wen Chou at all. Why should he be futile?

This battle did not bring much joy to Zhang Yan. Because of Wen Chou's calmness and decisive decisions, only more than 200 subordinates died.

After Zhang Yan reorganized his troops, he asked Xu Chu to lead these two thousand iron chain horses to advance along the official road, while he led a large army to follow closely behind. Since Yuan Shao did not come to find him, he would go to Yuan Shao by himself.

At this time, the scout came to Zhang Yan and reported to Zhang Yan that Zhang Liao and Gao Shun's army had arrived at Lihu and requested further instructions.

Zhang Yan then ordered Zhang Liao and Gao Shun to lead their troops to support him, and the 50,000 militiamen were temporarily staying in Lihu and not participating in the war, so that Yanzhou Governor Bao Xun was temporarily in charge.

Wen Chou led his army to retreat quickly. On the way, he met a scout who went to send orders to Yan Liang. Wen Chou stopped him and asked him to go back and tell Yuan Shao that Yan Liang's entire army was wiped out. Zhang Yan's army was very powerful and could not resist it. He prayed to send reinforcements.

Wen Chou stayed here and sent scouts to inquire about Zhang Yan's army. When he learned that Zhang Yan was slowly advancing, he led his army to retreat slowly, trying to avoid confronting Zhang Yan's army, so as not to cause unnecessary casualties.

Although Yan Liang and Wen Chou are as famous as Wen Chou, Yan Liang is just an ordinary man. In comparison, Wen Chou is brave and resourceful. Of course, his wisdom is only compared to Yan Liang. He is just a general who knows a little about the troops and is still a little different from those famous generals who are good at using troops.

The scout knew the serious surname of the matter and immediately went back to report to Yuan Shao.

At this time, Yuan Shao had woken up and had just taken the medicine. The scout came back from the front and reported to Yuan Shao that Yan Liang had been wiped out. After Wen Chou prayed for reinforcements, Yuan Shao was once again filled with anger and could not calm down. He almost fainted.
