Chapter 860: A Counterattack
When Luoyang's order reached the vicinity of Tangju, nearly 200,000 troops were studying how to launch a large-scale attack on the south of Gyeonggi Road, intending to break through the defense line south of Gyeonggi Road in a short time. Although there are many soldiers and horses in the area of Gyeonggi Road, the real scourge is the southern army led by Niu Gao and Xiao Zhiyun, as long as the south breaks through smoothly, Han Shizhong will not be able to use troops against Zhengzhou, and when the time comes, it will be a shock to the world to seize Bianliang City. In order to complete the wish of attacking Gyeonggi Road as soon as possible, Chai Yonghao, Tian Xingmao and others did not think much about it, but there was an accident in the Tiger Prison, which completely disrupted the original plan. Although Chai Yonghao didn't want to give up the plan he had originally drawn up, he could also understand Luoyang's order, after all, the Tiger Prison Pass was extraordinary, and the position was too sensitive. In the end, Chai Yonghao still led the army to the north in batches, marching again, and attacking the Tiger Pass, it can be said that Chai Yonghao has little time to rest. Now it's okay, Pegasus Village has been defeated, there is only a bare Guancheng left, he is completely relieved, although it still takes a lot of work to attack Guancheng, but there is no Pegasus Village, Ding **** is destined not to dare to go out of Guancheng, so Chai Yonghao, who has relaxed, fell asleep, and now, even if someone stands outside the tent and sings a mountain song, it may not be able to wake him up.
The Flying Tiger Village is full of fire, and across a mountain road, it seems that you can feel the burning sensation of the fiery. After the soldiers in charge of patrolling saw the accident in Feihu Village, the gongs in the camp sounded one after another, and some people were not dressed properly, so they ran with knives and guns and shouted, "Something happened, the thieves in the pass have been killed, and the enemy is attacking...... Enemy attack ......"
As more and more people shouted, the entire Pegasus Village suddenly became a pot of porridge. Those troops stationed in the south of the mountains were even more unbearable, and their eyes were red in a hurry, and they rushed to the Flying Tiger Village. The noise was getting louder and louder, and the figures outside the tent followed, Chai Yonghao was finally woken up and lacked sleep. With a big temper, Chai Yonghao wrapped his robe and scolded outside, "It's all the wrong damn medicine, what's wrong!" ”
A personal soldier hurriedly ran in, saluted and hurriedly replied, "General, something is wrong, the enemy army attacked Feihu Village at night, and now Feihu Village is covered by fire." The details are unknown, but now General Fuming has led his troops to the north to garrison to prevent the enemy from attacking Pegasus Village. ”
As soon as he heard this, Chai Yonghao was stunned at first, and then he was furious, jumped down from the couch, pointed at the nose of the pro-soldier and scolded, "A group of fools." There are so many people guarding Pegasus Village, and the thieves in Guanzhong have eaten the bear's heart and leopard's gall. Dare to come here to die, inform Fu Ming, don't fucking guard Pegasus Village, hurry up and copy it from the path, and see if you can block those who sneak attack Feihu Village. Chai Yonghao really had a crooked nose, and he felt that his subordinates were a bunch of rice buckets with no brains. It is already bold to be able to attack Flying Tiger Village at night, and the night attack is successful, it is also **** luck, after all, it is too careless on his side. If you want to talk about a sneak attack on Pegasus Village, Chai Yonghao dares to be 200% sure. I won't do that. Fu Ming, an idiot, actually prevented others from sneaking up on Pegasus Village. Hey, after such a long delay, it is estimated that the people have returned smoothly, but Chai Yonghao is still unwilling to give up, what if it is really blocked?
Although Yang Zhi was a little in love when he attacked Flying Tiger Village, Fan Wenyuan reminded him that he finally retreated in time, of course, it can also be said that Chai's reaction was too slow. When Fu Ming led people to block the road, Yang Zhi had already led his soldiers and horses back to Guancheng. If you really want to talk about it, the destruction of the Flying Tiger Village and the annihilation of the defenders are not great, and the casualties of more than 3,000 people are nothing to the Chai clan who are gathered in a large army. Ken's problem is that this matter has caused a bad impact, and the Chai clan has an absolute advantage, and the Flying Tiger Village has been destroyed, which is as disgusting as eating a rat feces. Chai Yonghao's face was blue, when he heard that the defenders of Feihu Village only ran out of more than fifty people, he almost fainted, under this advantage, he was chopped off a finger, and he felt unacceptable when he thought about it. I was very happy to get Pegasus Village yesterday, but now I can't be happy at all. Originally, the Flying Tiger Village and the Pegasus Village were captured in succession, although the attack on the Pegasus Village paid a painful price, but after all, it was captured, and under the successive victories, everyone had confidence in seizing the Tiger Prison Pass. Everyone will think about whether they can win the Tiger Prison Pass.
As soon as the sky cleared, Chai Yonghao gathered all the generals, and strictly ordered the soldiers and horses under the mountain to transfer 10,000 people up the mountain in one day, and at that time, a total of 20,000 Chai soldiers and horses began to attack the Tiger Prison Pass in turn. Perhaps stimulated by the Flying Tiger Village at night, the Chai soldiers attacked more than once, and for a while, the Tiger Prison was noisy. Tiger prison pass is built according to the mountain, there are two main buildings in the east and west, the main building is the battlement aisle in front of the main building, after a long time of fierce fighting, the main building in the west has been smashed by a trebuchet. In order to attack the Tiger Prison Pass, the Chai family can be described as scheming, and actually prepared so many trebuchets, after a day of fierce fighting, both sides suffered heavy casualties, but for Ding ****, this kind of casualties cannot be beared.
After only one day of fighting, Lin Chong was already a little unbearable, and after the war, statistics showed that in just one day, nearly 3,000 soldiers and horses were lost, which was still based on the premise of the Tiger Prison Pass. Tiger Prison Pass is really worthy of being the best pass in the world, and it is really not easy to rely on less than 10,000 people to withstand the crazy attack of so many Chai soldiers and horses. Lin Chong didn't know if he could hold it for four days, so he just fought like this, let alone four days, even if he couldn't hold it for two days. Night fell, tired of a day of the **** soldiers fell asleep, about the hour, suddenly a cannon sounded, everyone was awakened, and then there was a crazy scolding, "The thieves are attacking the city, the thieves are attacking the city......"
No one expected that the rebels who had been attacking the city frantically for a day pounced again, and countless torches were shining in the night, and they rushed forward with the ladder on their shoulders. At night, Fan Wenyuan was in charge of patrolling the city, and when he saw this situation, he hurriedly beat the drum and commanded the soldiers to come forward to resist. At this point, the night battle broke out, the terrain of the Tiger Prison Pass was dangerous, it was said that it was not a last resort, and he could not attack the city at night, but Chai Yonghao couldn't wait, he didn't care whether he could beat the Tiger Prison Pass at all, because the real goal was not here. The Chai clan was so crazy, Lin Chong and Hu Yanqing didn't expect it, and at this time there was no other way to think of it, but to try their best to stop it. This time it lasted two hours before the Chai clan retreated. At dawn, the city was in shambles, and when you look at the city, the eyes of the people in that scene are closed, and there are corpses everywhere under the city. Some of the bodies were still hanging from pine trees next to the mountain wall. Lin Chong couldn't understand, what was Chai Yonghao going to do, even if the Chai clan was in a hurry to recapture the Tiger Prison Pass, there was no need to be so desperate, attacking the Tiger Prison Pass at night, wasn't it a joke with the lives of the soldiers? There is a way that when things go wrong, there must be demons, but in this situation, where can I understand it?
Tiger Prison Pass is facing tremendous pressure, and at this time, Guan Chong's Chang'an Taiji Palace is also busy. Chai's soldiers and horses were exhausted, the military situation was urgent, and military newspapers continued to enter Chang'an City. Zhao Yougong was still in Liaodong, and everything was handed over to Zhu Lian and others, and at this time, in the Xuanzheng Hall of Taiji Palace, Zhang Yi, Zhu Wu, and Dongfang Jin all gathered together. The Tiger Prison can be said to hold the hearts of many people, and the Guanzhong side attaches great importance to the Tiger Prison, no matter what. Tiger Prison Pass must not be given up, hold here. can occupy an advantageous position in the Luoyang strategy. Before the results were discussed, the flying report had already arrived, "Report, Tiger Prison Pass is urgent, the Chai clan has gathered a large army and attacked it at any cost." As of yesterday, the Pegasus Village and the Flying Tiger Village outside the Tiger Prison Pass have been lost one after another. ”
"What?" Zhang Yi is definitely a serious person, in Guanzhong, in addition to Zhao Yougong and Zhu Lian, Zhang Yi is definitely the third most powerful person. The status is respected, and even Han Shizhong and others can't compare with him. is in a high position, and after a long time, he has developed a quiet temperament, but this time, Zhang Yi can't control himself a little. Lost the outer stockade so quickly, how long can the city be defended? Four days, it seems, became a joke.
The faces of Zhu Lian, Dongfang Jin and the others were very solemn, because everyone could think of what kind of pressure the Tiger Prison Pass would face next. Zhu Lian was the first to speak, "Judging from the current situation, the pressure on the Tiger Prison Pass is already very great, if you still insist on not sending reinforcements, it will be difficult to hold the Tiger Prison Pass, Mr. Dongfang, what do you think should be done next?" ”
Yu Military is not Zhu Lian's director, so he can only ask Yu Dongfang Jin and others, Dongfang Jin and Zhu Wu whispered a few words, and then arched his hand, "Back to the princess, now there are less than 10,000 defenders in the Tiger Prison Pass, and the Chai clan has captured the Shuangzhai of Guancheng, and they will definitely attack Guancheng wildly, I am afraid that the defenders of less than 10,000 people will not be able to hold the Tiger Prison Pass." Judging from the current situation, Luoyang is bound to win the Tiger Pass, and there is no sign of Chai's use of troops in other directions, so it seems that it can not wait any longer, so the ministers and others discussed, and the 20,000 troops east of Chang'an can be ordered to quickly cross the Yellow River to aid the Tiger Pass, and Xiao Yunwu, the garrison of Yanmen Pass, and Mu Ali, the deputy commander of Fengxiang Mansion, have returned to Beijing to report on their work, and can take on the important task of leading the troops. ”
After Dongfang Jin finished speaking, he saw Zhang Yi nodded, and several important ministers under him had already agreed, so Zhu Lian had no reason to object, so a military order from Taiji Palace quickly reached Xiao Yunwu and Mu Ali. Xiao Yunwu had just returned to Chang'an not long ago, and after receiving the military order, he didn't say a word, and rode to the east gate of Chang'an. Speaking of Xiao Yunwu and Mu Ali are also old acquaintances, although the two of them are from different systems, they guarded Ningwu Pass together, but later after the B Room Army entered the pass, Mu Ali was entrusted with a heavy task because he was Xiao Yue's henchman, and went to Fengxiang Mansion, while Xiao Yunwu was transferred to Yanmen Pass, and he was promoted to the position of garrison general. After staying up for many years, she finally won the trust of Guanzhong, and recently Xiao Zhiyun intended to let Xiao Yunwu go to Hangu Pass to replace Xiao Yue, so that Xiao Yue could free up his hand to lead the troops to Gyeonggi Road, but now that there is an emergency situation in Tiger Prison Pass, Xiao Yunwu can't go to Hangu Pass.
After he met with Mu Ali, after a brief negotiation, Xiao Yunwu led the leading soldiers and horses to the Yellow River crossing, while Mu Ali led the troops to escort the baggage convoy behind. Before 26 June, more than 23,000 troops from Guanzhong entered the Tiger Pass, rapidly enriching the strength of the Tiger Pass. With Xiao Yunwu and Mu Ali, Tiger Prison Pass is finally safe and sound, there are nearly 30,000 troops here, not to mention 80,000 rebels, even 100,000 troops, there is no need to be afraid. The Tiger Prison Pass was safe and sound, but Dongfang Jin always felt that something was wrong in his heart. In the middle of the night, many people have already fallen asleep, but Dongfang Jin is still in the Xuanzheng Hall and refuses to leave, there have been a lot of things recently, Zhang Yi is busy with too many things, so he often sleeps in the Wenyuan Pavilion at night, seeing that there are still lights in the Xuanzheng Palace, Zhang Yi walked in, and when he saw that it was not Zhu Lian, he smiled and said, "It turned out to be a big official, Zhang Mou thought it was a princess." ”
Dongfang Jin has a free and easy temperament, and he is usually ridiculed, and he promises to give ten sentences, but this time he didn't react, still frowning and thinking hard, and his fingers never left the map on the table. Zhang Yi was very puzzled, what could make the big officials so worried, walked over and looked at the map, only to see that the three words Tiger Prison Pass were circled.
"Brother Dongfang, are you still worried about the Tiger Prison? Xiao Yunwu and Mu Ali have arrived at the Tiger Prison Pass today, and now the Tiger Prison Pass has many generals, and the Guancheng is extremely dangerous, even if the Chai clan does it at all costs, it is impossible to capture the Tiger Prison Pass for less than half a year, and what are you still worried about? Zhang Yi really didn't understand, in the final analysis, he didn't keep studying the art of war like Dongfang Jin.
"A certain family has always felt that there are some problems that I haven't figured out, just now I carefully read the military report sent by the Tiger Prison Pass, only two days, Chai Yonghao paid the price of nearly 10,000 people in order to win the Flying Tiger Village and the Pegasus Village. Even if Luoyang is in a hurry to recapture the Tiger Prison Pass, does it need to be so urgent, such a loss, it is really incomprehensible, especially the night battle Tiger Prison Pass, there are too many places that cannot be explained! ”
Dongfang Jin is a real military master, he knows the significance of every step of the march and war, according to common sense, if you want to seize the Tiger Pass, then what Chai Yonghao has to do is to move forward steadily, and consume the strength of the Tiger Pass a little bit, because in the face of the Tiger Pass, the more anxious you are, the easier it is to have problems. But what did Chai Yonghao do, his performance was simply a mad dog. Over the years, Dongfang Jin has always had a clear judgment on the battle situation, this time, he also has a judgment, Chai Yonghao's actions can only explain one point, Chai's mad dog behavior proves that their goal is not the Tiger Prison Pass, if it is really for the Tiger Prison Pass, it will not be such a chaotic situation regardless of casualties, now the situation in Luoyang is good, there is no need to pay any price for the Tiger Prison Pass. Their purpose was to attract the attention of Guanzhong and lure reinforcements over. (To be continued.) )
