Time is always the most ruthless.

No matter how worried the Tang people are, it will eventually pass little by little.

In the early morning of more than half a month later, Dou Jiande's army finally reached the north bank of the Yellow River.

Now as long as you cross it, ten miles ahead is the Tiger Prison Pass! Further on, Luoyang, and the rich land of Guanzhong, the whole world seems to be beckoning to Dou Jiande.

Tiger Prison Pass, named after King Mu of the Western Zhou Dynasty who imprisoned the tiger here.

It is connected to Songyue in the south, the Yellow River in the north, and the mountains are staggered, which is a natural danger. There is a trend of "one husband is the pass, ten thousand people are not open", and it is a place for soldiers of all dynasties!

Because of the topography, if you want to reach Luoyang from the north of the Yellow River, the Tiger Prison Pass is a checkpoint that you can't bypass!

Therefore, Liu Bang and Xiang Yu fought for the city here.

Lu Bu and Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, and Guan Yu performed the famous Three Heroes Battle Lu Bu here.

Now, Li Shimin and Dou Jiande will also compete here.

In fact, originally, Dou Jiande also had three choices.

One of them was to follow the old wisdom of besieging Wei to save Zhao, and directly attacked Jinyang from Hebei, forcing Li Shimin to withdraw from the army.

However, the best result of this method is to take Jinyang.

For Dou Jiande, who already has a large territory, the harvest of a city will obviously not satisfy his growing appetite, and he wants a greater return!

The second is to cross the Yellow River through Jiyuan. Give up Luoyang and attack Chang'an! However, this idea was also abandoned by Dou Jiande because the battle line was too long.

Third, which is what Dou Jiande is doing now, crossed the Yellow River by boat through the shoal opposite the Tiger Prison Pass, and crossed the pass to Luoyang.

Perhaps, Dou Jiande never dreamed that this seemingly the most secure decision would lead to the collapse of his great cause and the destruction of the country in the future!

On the Yellow River, the boats have been found.

Although there were fewer, the Tang people didn't take the opportunity to destroy it, which made Dou Jiande, who had just come, not only surprised, but also ecstatic!

"What is like a god? It's just a generality! ”

Stepping on the rocks by the river, Dou Jiande couldn't help laughing!

When he decided to capture the Tiger Prison, he was most worried about crossing the river this time!

Because, his men are all northerners, and nine out of ten must be landlubbers!

These people get on the boat and don't move, let alone any water battles!

If you really fight on the water, you can guarantee that you won't fall off the boat, it is all blessed by your ancestors!

So now, when he saw that his army was safe and sound, he began to cross the river.

The boulder in Dou Jiande's heart finally fell to the ground, and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a sense of contempt for his opponent Li Shimin this time.

I can't even see this opportunity, and it's really better to be famous than to meet!

There are still fewer boats, and it is by no means possible to expect these ships to carry 200,000 troops back and forth across the river.

At least an hour has passed, and less than a tenth of a person has passed.

It seems that if we want to cross the river completely, it will be at least this time tomorrow.

Looking up at the busy boats on the Yellow River, and then at the army like black clouds behind him, Dou Jiande was full of pride in his heart, and couldn't help but want to look up to the sky and roar:

I, Dou Jiande, am here!

Of course, this is not what kind of hysteria Dou Jiande is developing.

In fact, beside the rolling mother river, all authentic Chinese people will have some different thoughts.

For example, Dou Jiande is thinking about victory now!

Li Shimin thinks about the world!

As for Xiao Han, he was more strange, when he saw the Yellow River, he only had delicious Yellow River carp and Yellow River catfish in his mind......

Dou Jiande is here.

Li Shimin naturally arrived!

At this moment, on a dangerous peak on the other side of the Yellow River, Li Shimin and the generals were silently watching the Xia army crossing the river.

"Hey, if we have enough warships, we will be able to kill him by surprise at this time!"

Putting down the binoculars in his hand, Duan Zhixuan smashed his fist on the pine tree beside him in annoyance!

With this punch, the yellow pine needles on the tree immediately rained and scattered the heads and faces of the people under the tree.

"Hey, the hairless guy on the top of your head, you can talk as you talk, what are you smashing a tree to do?!"

Cheng Yanjin was also under the tree, and he was unprepared to let the pine needles reach his neck, and immediately jumped up and shook off his collar while shouting at Duan Zhixuan!

"Quiet!"

Hearing the noise around him, Li Shimin frowned and scolded!

Then he raised the telescope removed from the dog's rhubarb crossbow and carefully observed Dou Jiande's army.

Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated!

"The army is not in order, and the boat is chaotic! The person who crossed the river first did not explore the terrain first, but rested on the spot, this Xia army, it seems that it is not very good? ”

Looking at the chaotic river crossing scene in the telescope, Li Shimin's voice was full of doubt, which didn't seem to match the male soldiers he imagined?

"Hey, King Qin, you think too much! This Dou Jiande said that it sounds good, he is a handsome man in the rivers and lakes! It's not good to say, it's just a country white ding, how powerful do you expect him to be? He was just lucky enough to pick a few soft persimmons and pinch them! ”

Cheng Yanjin is very uninterested in Dou Jiande, after all, his hometown Shandong is occupied by this goods at this time, and he doesn't know how his family is now, whether he has been implicated because of himself.

Li Shimin nodded, and he didn't know if he was agreeing with Cheng Yanjin's words. Putting down the binoculars, he turned to Xue Shui and asked, "How is their grain road exploration?" ”

Xue Shui seemed to have been prepared, and when he heard this, he arched his hand and said: "General Li Junxian sent a letter saying that he had investigated correctly, and also said that the Xia army was a little arrogant, and he didn't expect us to go around behind them, so the grain road didn't have too many troops at all!" Just wait for an order, and you can completely block the grain route! ”

"Good!" Li Shimin's eyes flashed, and then he asked, "What about our warship?" ”

"The warships have also been assembled, and when they have finished crossing the river, they can go down the river and sink all the ships on the river at this time!"

"Good! Now that we're ready, let's give it a go! Whether it succeeds or not, it will be done tomorrow! ”

"Whoa!"

On this dangerous mountain by the Yellow River, Li Shimin set the final tone for the most critical battle of the Tang Dynasty to recover the world.

At this time, it is estimated that he didn't realize that soon, he would capture two emperors in this life and complete the most brilliant record in his career!

Looking up to the west, there is the direction of Luoyang.

Tonight, the 60,000 people there will also be withdrawn to the Tiger Prison, and the only ones left there will be Xiao Han and 5,000 soldiers!

The hand clenched little by little, until the nails were about to pierce into the flesh, and Li Shimin's heart calmed down.

He knew it was useless for him to worry about it now!

What he can do now is to cut off the back route of the Xia army as much as possible, so that they can immediately attack the Tiger Prison Pass in order to replenish them!

In this way, as long as he can withstand it for two days there, Dou Jiande, who lacks food and grass support, will retreat!

When the time comes, Xiao Han will be safe!
