It turned out that Su Baotong knew that Yang Fan would set up a white tiger array, and he also knew that He Zongxian would set up a dragon gate array. So I'm going to let the two of them set up a big formation together.

I want to use the two big arrays of the White Tiger Dragon Gate to fight for the tiger. The Tang army was completely blocked outside the Hanjiang Pass. It's good to give him more time to prepare.

……

"This white tiger array set up by Yang Fan, I have heard of it before. It is definitely a mysterious array, and I am afraid that if our army wants to break this white tiger array, it will take a lot of effort. Fan Hong opened his mouth and said to everyone.

"Old General Fan, if it is when the emperor crosses the sea to the east. Yang Fan set up this white tiger array, maybe it would be a little useful. ”

"But now we have hundreds of red-coated cannons in our hands, no matter how exquisite his array is, it will definitely be vulnerable in front of our army." Cheng Yanjin opened his mouth and said to Fan Hong.

"Lu Guogong is right, I forgot about this red-clothed cannon." Hearing Cheng Yanjin's words, Fan Hong shook his head and said with a smile.

"Now this white tiger array is laid down five miles outside Hanjiang Pass. It was just within the range of the Red Cannon. ”

"The marshal can put the red-coated cannon on the wall of Fanjiang Pass. After three days, the red-coated cannon can be used to break the formation. Xu Mao said openly to Fan Lihua.

Fan Lihua nodded and said, "Lu Guogong, father (Fan Hong), you two led the artillery battalion to set up a position on the city wall, waiting for the king's order. ”

"Marshal, don't worry, you can rest assured that this matter will be left to us. When the cannon rang out, it blew up his white tiger array into a dead cat. Cheng Biting Jin said confidently.

Fan Lihua nodded and said again: "Xue Dingshan, Li Xin, Xue Jinlian, Zhou Qing, Xue Xiantu listen to orders." ”

"Each of the five of you will lead a team of 10,000 people and carry as many grenades as you can. Once the red-coated cannon disrupts the White Tiger Formation, you will lead the army to kill. ”

"Remember, try to attack with grenades first, and when the opponent is completely incapacitated, you can lead your troops into the big formation."

The five of them got up at the same time and said hello to Fan Lihua, then turned around and went down to prepare.

Fan Lihua spoke again: "The military advisor and his father (Xue Rengui) took people to stay in Hanjiang Pass. Ben Shuai personally led a large group of men and horses out of the city to fight. ”

……

Time flew by, and three days passed. On the morning of the third day, Fan Lihua personally led 200,000 troops out of Hanjiang Pass.

At this time, Yang Fan and He Zongxian were already waiting outside the big array. Seeing Fan Lihua out of Hanjiang Pass, she greeted her directly.

I only heard Yang Fan open his mouth and say to Fan Lihua: "Slut, do you know what kind of formation this big array is?" ”

As early as a day ago, Xue Rengui had discovered that a dragon gate array had appeared outside the city. I knew that He Zongxian must have come to Hanjiang Pass.

I had already told Fan Lihua about the situation outside the city. However, for Fan Lihua, it is good to have a white tiger formation, plus a dragon gate formation.

I'm afraid that they are all vulnerable in front of this red-clothed cannon, so naturally I don't particularly care.

Since Yang Fan asked today, Fan Lihua said with a disdainful face: "A white tiger array and a dragon gate array, how can this dragon battle and tiger battle formation be hidden." ”

"I didn't expect you to be a bit knowledgeable as a slut, but you can't break the battle by playing tricks. If you have the ability, you will bring people into the battle, and we will divide the male and female in the big array. After Yang Fan finished speaking, he and He Zongxian took the horse back to the big array.

Fan Lihua slammed a letter cannon into the air, exploding a green flame in the sky. At the same time, the red-coated cannon on the city wall also opened fire in an instant.

Cheng Yanjin and Fan Hong erected 200 red-coated cannons on the city wall at one time. And it was divided into ten echelons, each with twenty red-coated cannons.

At the same time, Fan Lihua also added a stone thrower in front of the two armies. Pots of fierce fire oil were thrown into the large array with a stone thrower.

As soon as Yang Fan and He Zongxian got on the control tower, they felt a shake. Immediately after that, there were explosions in the big array.

In just an instant, a sea of fire appeared within the large array. The soldiers who were in formation were burned with a squeak.

At this time, where can I care about any formation, one by one like headless flies rushing around. No matter how Yang Fan and He Zongxian shook the order flag, they couldn't command these panicked soldiers.

However, the red-coated cannons in the city did not stop attacking, and continued to fire round after round. I shot a stick of incense for a whole time.

At this time, the two large arrays had been completely destroyed, and even the organs within the large arrays ceased to exist under the artillery fire.

As another flare from Fan Lihua hit the air, the artillery on the city wall stopped attacking. What followed was the cavalry team led by the five members of Xue Dingshan.

According to Fan Lihua's explanation, the cavalry threw the grenades they carried into the panicked Xiliang soldiers. Every grenade explosion will take the lives of several Xiliang soldiers.

At this time, He Zongxian and Yang Fan, who were in the big array, had already gotten off the command tower. However, the choice of the two is different.

He Zongxian took the guards regardless of it and fled in the direction of White Tiger Pass. But Yang Fan led people to kill in the direction of Hanjiang Pass.

However, although Yang Fan's courage is commendable, he will inevitably be blown up by a grenade in the end. The last generation of famous generals Yang Fan, no one knows where he died.

And more than seventy percent of the more than one million Xiliang troops died in this battle. Less than thirty percent followed He Zongxian and withdrew to the White Tiger Pass.

……

At this time, the road to the White Tiger Pass was opened, so Fan Lihua decided to send troops to the White Tiger Pass early the next morning.

In addition to leaving Fan Hong to guard Hanjiang Pass, the others followed Fan Lihua to Baihu Pass. Originally, I thought there was still a tough battle to be fought in White Tiger Pass.

But I didn't expect that the White Tiger Pass had already been empty, and only one empty pass was left there. Not to mention the soldiers guarding the town, not even the common people can see a single one.

So Fan Lihua decisively ordered, and Xue Xiantu led people to guard the White Tiger Pass. The others kept heading towards the Xiliang Imperial City.

And He Zongxian had already returned to the imperial city and told Su Baotong what had happened.

Su Baotong never imagined that the two large arrays set up by millions of people would be shattered within a few hours.

I only heard Su Baotong sigh and said: "It seems that this Xiliang Imperial City can't be defended, but it's a pity that I, Su Baotong, am a hero, but I can't avenge my grandfather." ”

"Marshal, now is not the time to be sad, let's hurry up and think of countermeasures. Otherwise, when the Tang army comes, it will be too late. He Zongxian opened his mouth and said to Su Baotong.

"What can Ben Shuai do now, all he can do now is to live and die with this imperial city." Su Baotong said after letting out a sigh of relief.

"Marshal, as the saying goes, stay in the green mountains without fear of no firewood. The marshal should quickly lead people out of the imperial city. ”

"Only in this way can we leave a useful body and find a chance to take revenge in the future. Otherwise, there is no point in dying in this imperial city. He Zongxian said.
