The thousands of cavalrymen swarmed in, their momentum even greater than before.

The bronze-faced man took the lead and arrived at the front, where he naturally saw seventy or eighty men in black surrounding and attacking the two of them!

One of them was none other than his sworn brother Zhang Baiqi.

Didn't they say Zhang Baiqi was arrested?

How did we end up fighting with someone?

We need to stop them right now!

"Stop! All of you, stop right now!"

"If you don't stop, don't blame me for losing my temper!"

The bronze-faced man roared, like a thunderclap from a clear sky.

This man is none other than Zhang Yan, the commander of the Black Mountain Army!

Previously, he led a thousand cavalrymen to besiege Wuji County, constantly shooting arrows into the city and threatening the county magistrate to surrender the city and grain.

According to intelligence gathered by an inside informant, the only soldiers in Wuji County were 100 men led by the county magistrate.

They are more than capable of maintaining order, guarding the city gates, and capturing thieves, but they are not up to the task of defending the city and dealing with thieves!

The nearest Han Dynasty regular army garrison, Zhen Ding, was also surrounded by 30,000 infantrymen he dispatched.

When the officials of Wuji County saw so many of his troops outside the city, coupled with the intimidation of the arrows, they must have been terrified and opened the gates to let them in.

However, Wuji County remained unmoved, not only refusing to open its gates but also firing arrows at them in retaliation.

Moreover, the enemy's arrows had a longer range than theirs, causing Zhang Yan to lose more than a hundred cavalrymen in one fell swoop.

His two thousand cavalrymen were his lifeline; losing more than a hundred of them was like strangling him.

Zhang Yan was immediately enraged and prepared to order an attack on the city.

Just then, his sworn brother, cavalry commander Zhang Baiqi, returned empty-handed from the Zhen family village!

Upon hearing that they had not only lost several men, but that Zhang Baiqi had also been captured and had not received a single grain of food, they were astonished.

When they encountered resistance in Wuji County and their grain requisition in Zhenjiazhuang failed, Zhang Yan even wondered if she had forgotten to check the almanac before leaving home.

Like adding fuel to the fire, Zhang Yan was about to explode!

He immediately left a thousand men to continue surrounding Wuji County, and personally led another thousand men to rush over at breakneck speed.

What they saw was a group of men in black attacking Zhen Family Village, while their sworn brother Zhang Baiqi became the target of their attack.

Desperate to save her brother, Zhang Yan ordered the other party to stop!

Han Long, who was directing his men to besiege Liu Wei and Zhang Baiqi, was also at a critical juncture.

Although his men suffered heavy losses, the enemy was in no better shape and would soon be able to surround and kill the target.

However, a large group of people suddenly appeared from behind and shouted for them to stop.

Judging from their attire, they don't look like Han Dynasty soldiers!

Such a large army within the territory of Zhongshan State must be the Black Mountain Army active in the Taihang Mountains!

Seeing so many cavalrymen surrounding them from behind, Han Long's mind raced.

The leader of the group said that the people inside had captured his brother, and these people must have a conflict with the people of Zhenjiazhuang.

Han Long and his group attacked a group that was backed by Zhen Family Village, so he was on the same side as Zhen Family Village!

The enemy of my enemy is my friend!

Han Long's eyes darted around, and he hurriedly went to greet Zhang Yan.

"Heavenly King covers the Earth Tiger!" Han Long greeted him with a grin.

"The pagoda suppresses the river demon!"

Zhang Yan was taken aback and blurted out that she hadn't expected these men in black to be like her.

"A dragon from the Yellow River is crossing the river!" Han Long continued.

"The tigers of Taihang Mountain are coming down!" Zhang Yan frowned.

These two coded phrases are the secret codes used by bandits north of the Yellow River to communicate their origins. Once they match, they're on the same side!

"Which river's turtles are you catching here?" Zhang Yan asked.

"A turtle in a red robe in Luoyang!" Han Long replied immediately.

So they were high-ranking officials who were hunting down the imperial court!

Zhang Yan added, "One of those poles belongs to my brother!"

"There must be some misunderstanding! We keep to ourselves, I'm catching our turtles, you can have your fishing rod!"

The two exchanged a few quick words and immediately began to draw a line.

"Take me there!"

"Please, General!"

Han Long breathed a sigh of relief and immediately led Zhang Yan closer: "Brother Bai Qi, I'm here to save you, come over here quickly!"

Zhang Baiqi, riddled with sword wounds, was so engrossed in hacking and slashing that he paid no attention to the large number of Black Mountain cavalrymen approaching from the outside.

Hearing someone call his name, he looked up and was immediately overjoyed, exclaiming, "General, you...you've come at the perfect time!"

"They are assassins who want to kill our leader!"

A giant!

Han Long was completely dumbfounded, while Zhang Yan was visibly shaken.

"Brother White Knight, what did you say? He...he's our leader?"

"That's right!"

Zhang Baiqi was also extremely excited, "There's no time to explain, kill them first!"

Upon seeing that Zhang Baiqi had only suffered minor injuries and was unharmed, and that Liu Wei was indeed the Grand Master.

Zhang Yan immediately brandished her longsword and suddenly slashed at Han Long: "Brothers, wipe them out!"

Zhang Yan's fierce subordinates immediately launched an attack, targeting Han Long's men.

"General, it's one of us! One of us!"

Han Long didn't expect Zhang Yan's expression to change so quickly.

He hurriedly blocked Zhang Yan's thrusting sword, parrying left and right.

Just a moment ago we were exchanging secret signals and keeping to ourselves, but now we're going to make our move against them!

However, it seems that the person Han Long and his group are trying to kill is the leader of Zhang Yan's gang.

"What kind of class do you have? You dare to tell me you're one of us!"

Seeing that Han Long was somewhat skilled, and that she had failed to hit him despite several thrusts, Zhang Yan was furious. She exerted all her strength and forced Han Long back several steps.
