"Second brother is right. These 30,000 Black Mountain troops are like clay chickens and earthen dogs." Third brother Gao Huai was also extremely proud.

He also led a thousand men out of the north gate and encountered Bai Bo, the leader of the Black Mountain bandits, with ten thousand men.

Once they charged, it was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep.

Gao Huai killed Bai Bo with a meteor hammer. Most of the 10,000 Black Mountain soldiers were killed or wounded, and the rest disappeared without a trace.

"Second brother, third brother! Do not let your guard down. Zhang Yan, the leader of the Black Mountain Army, has two thousand cavalrymen under his command, but they have not yet appeared."

"These two thousand cavalrymen are personally led by Zhang Yan and are all veterans who survived last year's Yellow Turban Rebellion. They should not be underestimated."

Gao Lan looked serious upon hearing the two brothers' words.

His three-pronged attack had already routed 20,000 Black Mountain troops, leaving only Du Chang's force still stubbornly resisting.

Given such heavy losses, Zhang Yan and his two thousand cavalry should have shown up by now.

However, on the entire battlefield, apart from the middle and high-ranking leaders who rode horses, the rest of the Black Mountain Army consisted entirely of infantry.

There was a shadow of two thousand cavalrymen.

Faced with the stubborn resistance of the Black Mountain Army, Gao Lan had already killed more than a thousand people after two rounds of cavalry charges.

Gao Lan did not rush into a full-scale attack, but instead patrolled the perimeter to exert pressure.

Since Gao Lan's thousand men were all cavalry, if a full-scale attack were launched, wouldn't Zhang Yan's two thousand cavalry suddenly appear and put them at a disadvantage?

Therefore, Gao Lan is waiting.

He didn't believe Zhang Yan would just watch his 30,000 men be slaughtered without offering any help.

"Second brother, third brother, each of you should send your troops to press down from both flanks and form ranks about a hundred paces away from the Black Mountain Army."

"If nothing unexpected happens, Zhang Yan's two thousand cavalry will appear soon!"

Gao Lan suddenly perked up his ears as he spoke, "Not soon, they're already here!"

"Pass down the order: the three armies, prepare yourselves! The fighting just now was merely a warm-up; now comes the real battle!"
