The Jin army's encirclement of Heluo gradually became a trend, making the situation in Heluo increasingly severe. Especially when the other party only besieged and did not attack, it made the Peach Leopard army feel even more anxious.

If it drags on like this any longer, not to mention what fierce killing moves the Jin army will have in the future, I am afraid that the Peach Leopard army itself will collapse without a fight like Liyang Shikan's army.

Therefore, the Peach Leopard army has been thinking hard about how to make a counterattack recently, even if it does not expect a big victory, at least it must boost its morale.

But where to fight back is really painstaking. Yique in the south is not the main force of the Jin army, but Yique itself is a river pass, and it is difficult to repel the enemy army and break through without more than several times the force after being trapped and locked. Once so many troops are dispatched, it will be equivalent to giving up Luoyang City, and it will provide the Jin army with an empty door to attack Luoyang from the river.

Once the enemy is prepared, they only need to arrange a part of the troops at the pass to stubbornly defend it, and it is impossible to break out between these narrow mountains and valleys.

The generals preferred to break through to the north, reach Hebei through Mengjin and Xiaopingjin, or wander north into the Pishan Mountains, or rush back to Hebei from Hanoi with abundant horsepower.

But when I think of the huge warships of the Jin army cruising in the waterways of the Yellow River, and then look at their simple boats and rafts, this kind of breakthrough is more like looking for death.

And even if some of the sergeants can break through the blockade of the Jin army and successfully reach the opposite bank, once they leave the four trapped places of Heluo, the next soldiers are afraid that they will immediately lose their restraint and flee in all directions. What's more, there are still thousands of cavalry of the Jin army in the land of Hanoi, and how much they can escape in the end is really desperate.

Choosing and choosing, the only direction that can make an assault seems to be the only one in the Tiger Prison. The Tiger Prison here is firmly defended, which is convenient for increasing troops, and the outside of the gate is open and flat, which is convenient for cavalry to charge and raid.

Although not far from the Tiger Prison Pass is where the main force of the Jin army gathers, it is precisely because of this that the soldiers will inevitably have the intention of negligently underestimating the enemy, thinking that they will not be attacked.

Tao Leopard does not expect to be able to directly crush the Jin army that has just won the victory in Liyang with the impact of thousands of cavalry, but as long as he can take advantage of the Jin army's slack to win the first battle and win a small victory, it will be able to stabilize the army's morale to a great extent, which is more conducive to the follow-up defense.

Due to the severe blindness of his ears and eyes, Taobao did not know that the Jin army accepted a large number of captives and people in Hebei, but this did not prevent him from using the logistics of the Jin army as a fighter to turn the tide of the war.

There are nearly 100,000 troops from all walks of life in the Jin army, and it is conceivable how great the logistical pressure will be. Once he achieves a victory here at Tiger Pass, stabilizes the turbulent military morale and arouses the stubborn resistance of the soldiers, he may not be able to delay the war with the help of Heluo Tianha.

As long as the waterways dry up in winter, such a large force of the Jin army is bound to be difficult to maintain, and when it retreats, it is a good opportunity to defend and attack.

In fact, this tactic, Peach Leopard also learned from Shen Weizhou. Just like the first battle of Huai in the early years, the army of Zhao arrived in Huaishang with great momentum, but was defeated by the Huainan army, and the morale was lost, and then the Huainan army guarded the Huaishui line, delayed the war, and finally won a big victory.

At present, this season, including the topography of the Yellow River, determines that Taobao has no flood help. However, the art of war is used brilliantly, and there is really no need to stick to the similarities and differences in form. Although Peach Leopard can't borrow the power of heaven and earth, he has powerful cavalry.

He didn't expect to be able to achieve the same brilliant results as the Huainan Army in Yingshui, as long as he could win a small victory, it would be of great significance to him.

Therefore, as early as two days ago, Peach Leopard secretly increased his troops to the Tiger Prison Pass, only waiting for the enemy army to relax a little, and immediately ordered an attack. He remembered that Guo Yu, the enemy commander on the opposite side of the Tiger Prison, was the Yingkou guard in the first battle of Huai in the early years, and now he used the other party's means to inflict it on the other party's head!

Sure enough, after the peach leopard arrived at the Tiger Prison, he found that the enemy camp defense on the opposite side was quite lax, and he did not realize that the Tiger Prison Pass would have the possibility of attacking and counterattacking. There were even some scattered villagers who directly crossed the front line and rushed to wander and shout near the Tiger Prison Pass, showing their madness.

In order to maximize the effect of the surprise attack, the peach leopard not only strictly ordered the soldiers not to attack, but also removed the banners on the wall one after another, and the soldiers returned day and night to make a false withdrawal of the army, deliberately showing the enemy weakness.

Sure enough, the enemy army became more and more arrogant, and even took the initiative to bulldoze many fortifications that had been set up to block the cavalry from attacking and charging, and seemed to intend to attack the city directly.

"In this war, the future of tens of thousands of soldiers depends on their lives, and they can only succeed, not fail!"

The peach leopard is now too old to lead the charge, but he stood in front of the city gate and personally sent the 3,000 cavalry soldiers who were in charge of the attack out of the city, and made a strong voice to inspire.

The three thousand knights are all carefully selected elites in the army, both in horsemanship and martial arts, they are all the best in the army, and they are equipped with bows and knives.

The line stretched for miles, and had previously been hampered by a large number of fortifications. Although there were many remnants at this moment, with no enemy troops in the rear to block them, a few obstacles were not enough to stop these elite knights, and they quickly crossed these remaining defenses.

At this time, the Huainan army on the opposite side was already in chaos, and the barracks were full of figures fleeing from the camp, and the barracks on the front had already been empty.

Seeing this scene, the cavalry officers and soldiers who rushed out of the Tiger Prison Pass couldn't help but laugh wildly, and even spurred their horses to speed up towards the enemy camp, rushing directly into the empty camp gate, and knocking over those abandoned camp tents.

They also remembered that the purpose of this mission was to create more turmoil and chaos, so they turned a blind eye to all the equipment and materials abandoned in the camp, directly set fire to the camp, and then rushed to the camp in all directions!

At this time, Guo Yu saw the enemy army trampling and galloping in the camp, and his face became more gloomy for a while. The enemy army is coming so quickly, it can be seen that it must have been gathering momentum for a long time. Although he immediately abandoned the middle camp, thus gaining a short time to reorganize the army, and used the original camp to limit the enemy's momentum, the current situation was still not optimistic.

If he can't inflict heavy damage on the enemy troops attacking along the way and let them come and go, then he will be guilty of negligence at this time!

"Defend the camp and fight to the death!"

Guo Yu wandered among the border camps, ordered the drums and trumpets to guard the remaining camps, and also ordered the abandoned camps to be set on fire. Fortunately, when he set up the camp before, he fully considered fire prevention, and the distance between the camps was not small, and there were also plenty of sand and soil to prevent the fire from continuing to spread.

Soon, smoke billowed from the abandoned barracks. Seeing this scene, Guo Yu breathed a sigh of relief, at least after the smoke rose, the camp behind Xingyang would be alert.

But that's not enough!

"The camp will follow me and cut off the enemy's retreat!"

Guo Yu shouted loudly, grabbed the long-handled horse chopping knife with both hands, and led hundreds of brave soldiers to rush out from the side of the border camp and rush straight to the border mound outside the camp.

At this time, the enemy troops who rushed into the camp also gradually noticed that something was wrong, and at the beginning of their rush out of the camp, they were indeed invincible, almost unobstructed, and set fire everywhere, creating a great scene. But the problem was that it was so smooth that there was hardly a single enemy soldier, and all that was seen was dead things, as if the opponent had voluntarily abandoned the camp as a trap, rather than being scattered by their shock.

Especially when they continued to charge at the rest of the camp, they soon encountered strong resistance, and arrows rained down. They themselves had to be distracted by their horses, and it was difficult for them to draw their bows and fight back with all their might.

"Get out of camp and attack again!"

The shouts of the generals sounded in the messy camp, in fact, the cavalry was not suitable for charging the camp, but the problem was that they rushed too fast, and the Huainan army had no time to line up outside the camp for field battles. What's more, there are several empty barracks in front of them, and if they still can't get through the camp, then what's the point of this impact?

And this is also the mystery of Guo Yu's initiative to give up the middle battalion, the cavalry is not suitable for rushing the battalion, that is under the condition that each other maintains a certain level of combat effectiveness. The Huainan Army was originally in a hurry to deal with this time, and the officers and men of the headquarters were mainly concentrated in a few central camps.

The surrounding battalions are the garrisons of the villagers who came to join the army, and those villagers themselves are not very organized, fighting on their own, and in a hurry to respond to the enemy, it will only become more chaotic, and it is inevitable to flee from the camp.

If the enemy army attacks from the border camp, it can directly shock these border camp villagers into chaos, flee inward, and then crush the middle camp where the Huainan Army headquarters is located, so that the entire camp can be shaken. Even if Guo Yu is stubborn and resistant, it is difficult to do anything in the chaos of the whole army.

This kind of flexibility in the face of war is where the quality of a general lies. Although more ordnance and materials were gathered in the middle camp, Guo Yu still did not hesitate to give up in order to ensure the integrity of the defense line. And those villagers in the border camp have long been expelled from the camp by the Huainan Army, and they have created a false impression that the battalion defense has been completely shaken.

As for the enemy's generals in battle, first of all, they were fascinated by the empty camp, and secondly, they believed in their own impact too much, and wanted to hit a center to blossom, but they fell into an embarrassing situation of being surrounded by all sides. When his army sensed that something was wrong and wanted to withdraw again, the momentum of the previous one was gone, and it was difficult for the military formation to maintain its original integrity and impact.

"Kill!"

Seeing more than a dozen enemy knights rushing out of the smoke-billowing camp in a messy manner, Guo Yu slashed diagonally with a horse chopping knife in his hand, and the first knight flew from man to horse!

Hundreds of Overseer soldiers each held sharp blades, condensed into a solid iron-bladed battle wall with Guo Yu as the center, and roared to cut down all the enemy knights who rushed out of the thick smoke package!

After the enemy suffered more than a dozen casualties one after another, they retreated and rushed out from other directions, and when they realized that there were few soldiers on this side, they rushed with a cruel smile.

The soldiers of the Huainan Army Commander saw that the enemy army was gradually outflanking, and even if it turned from the square wall to the inner and outer circle formation, the peripheral soldiers were still fighting to the death and wielding their swords.

Guo Yu saw that there were fewer and fewer soldiers around him, and the circle formation gradually shrank, he bit his teeth to wipe the blood on his face, and resolutely stepped forward with a knife and stepped into the outer circle array. He doesn't hate that his reputation has been ruined here for half of his life, but he hates that he was obsessed with nostalgia for a while, causing his soldiers to lose their lives in vain!

"Guo Yu is here, who can kill me!"

He roared and slashed down an enemy knight who rushed up, like a mad tiger, hoping to use himself as a target to attract more enemy troops to the near border, so that the Huainan soldiers on the periphery could surround and kill more enemy troops here.

"Guo Hou don't worry, a certain was ordered by the governor of the capital to wait for the thief army for a long time!"

In the chaotic fighting, a large number of Jin soldiers suddenly poured out from the flank of the battlefield, and Xu Ning, the general of Xuzhou, was surrounded by his own subordinates, holding a strong bow to lead the strings left and right, and rushed straight to the worst part of the battle with a loud shout in his mouth.

On the broader battlefield, the Jin army rangers penetrated the large battlefield outside the blockade of the Tiger Prison Pass, and several swords, shields, and crossbow phalanxes came out in all directions, surrounding the enemy legions that rushed out of the field!
