Chapter 871: Fierce Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain

With the passage of time, the pressure on Fenglei Town is increasing, to the end of June, Chai has mobilized heavy troops to coerce Fenglingdu, to the second day of the first month of July, Chai Yonghao's department that coerced the Tiger Prison Pass began to divide troops, Tian Xingmao personally led 40,000 troops along the south bank of the Yellow River through Hangu Pass into Tongguan, so far, Chai has concentrated most of his energy on Fengling Ferry, trying to win Fengling Ferry and cross the Yellow River in a battle. For a while, everyone's eyes in the world were attracted here, and this battle was inevitable, because it was impossible for either side to back down, but no one dared to determine where the battle of Fenglingdu would start. When the Chai clan concentrated their forces to conquer Fenglei Town, the generals of the Dingguo Army stationed at the Fengling Ferry had already accumulated in the hall. Due to Zhao Yougong's absence, Pang He became the de facto commander of Fenglingdu. Before the discussion, Pang He had already discussed urgently with Tuoba Qingyun, and this time the procedure was very strict, except for the capital control who could participate, the rest of the generals were all excluded, and the purpose was to keep it secret.

The generals sat on both sides, Pang He pointed to the map hanging on the template, and explained with a serious expression, "Judging from the latest information, the Chai clan has transferred troops from Hujiao Pass to reinforce Fenglingdu, according to statistics, the first line of Hangu Pass, Tongguan and Shangzhou, the Chai clan has no less than 180,000 troops, almost twice as many as our army. Among them, the cavalry accounted for as many as 30,000, and it can be said that this time the Chai clan was exhausted, and the purpose was obvious, that is, to swallow Fenglingdu in one bite and open the way into Guanzhong. Therefore, judging from the current situation, we are facing a lot of pressure, and the space of Fenglei Town is limited, and it is difficult to withstand the pressure of Shangzhou and Tongguan, so this will be decided. Replenish a defensive line on the south bank of Fenglingdu. After the ministries go back. Concentrate on building this line of defense. In addition, you don't have to worry about the affairs of Chang'an, the fourth prince is fine, and His Royal Highness is safe and sound, as for the news from Chang'an, it was deliberately done by His Highness, and the purpose was to lead the Chai clan to attack. ”

After Pang He finished speaking, Xiao Yue and the others are you look at me, I look at you. I don't believe it too much, after all, everyone knows His Royal Highness's physical condition, not to mention that it was Madam Yu who attacked the fourth prince, and under the repeated blows, it would be hellish if His Highness could hold it. Although it is said that His Highness is safe and sound, but no one who has seen His Highness, who dares to say that what Pang He said must be true? Pang He frowned with his mouth cocked, he had long known that these people would not believe it, he clapped his hands A female general in black armor and a red scarf strode in, and everyone looked at this female general. I immediately believed seven or eight points in my heart. The person who came was Hu Sanniang, everyone knows it. Princess Hu and Mu Niangzi are inseparable from His Royal Highness, if His Royal Highness really has something, how could Princess Hu give up His Royal Highness to come here? Sanniang came to Tuoba Qingyun's side, looked at the generals sitting down, and said with a full of anger, "Everyone, you don't believe General Pang's words, but you won't doubt my words." Don't worry, the matter in Chang'an has been satisfactorily resolved, and His Royal Highness has nothing to do except for some repetition of old injuries. In addition, this matter must be kept absolutely confidential, when I go out, I will hang my head for the concubine, and cry twice if I can, in short, I want to tell everyone that His Royal Highness is dying, do you know? ”

Tuoba Qingyun raised her eyebrows with some taste, according to her birth status, her Tuoba Qingyun is much higher than Hu Sanniang's, but now Hu Sanniang's momentum is much higher than her Tuoba Qingyun. It seems that after following Zhao Ling for a long time, this temperament has also been honed. How could the generals not listen, they stood up together and said, "No! Only, how do you know where the rebels are attacking? ”

This time, Tuoba Qingyun answered for everyone, she walked to the map, and the baton in Pang He's hand smiled faintly, "What the general said just now is very clear, our army is stationed in Fenglei Town, and new fortifications are built on the south bank of Fenglingdu, on the contrary, Zhongtiao Mountain is congenitally lacking in defensive barriers because of the geographical environment. The road to Nakajo Mountain is complicated, and although it is not beneficial for both offensive and defensive ends, the forces we can devote to Nakajo Mountain are far less than the rebels. Therefore, in Zhongtiao Mountain, we can only shrink our forces, in this case, the rebels will definitely abandon Fenglingdu and Fenglei Town, and take the lead in attacking Zhongtiao Mountain, in order to open a gap in the south of Fenglingdu first. ”

"This ...... If this is the case, our army has concentrated most of its forces at Fengling Ferry and Fenglei Town, and how can we stop the rebels in Zhongtiao Mountain? "The question raised by Xiao Yue is very realistic, the biggest problem now is that the number of troops is limited, even if he knows that the rebels will seek a breakthrough from Zhongtiao Mountain, where can he draw troops? When Xiao Yue raised this question, all the generals whispered, everyone felt that this move was a bit risky, only Fang Qiliang lowered his head and was silent, he knew His Highness's command ability, like this kind of question, he couldn't think of it, not to mention that there were two masters of the art of war in Chang'an City, Dongfang Jin and Zhu Wu. Since it was decided to stop the rebels in Nakajo Mountain, there must be a way to find soldiers and horses, but the question is where did the soldiers and horses come from?

Tuoba Qingyun nodded, put down the baton, pressed the table with both hands, and said with a mysterious smile, "I think you are too worried, who said that we have no soldiers available?" The Chai clan can divide troops from the Tiger Pass, why can't we divide the troops from the Tiger Pass? ”

Boom, the whole conference hall was like an explosion, everyone was shocked and their heads were buzzing, what an international joke, there are many soldiers and horses in the Chai family, so they can draw troops from the Tiger Prison Pass, but what about the ****, once the troops are divided, the Tiger Prison Pass will be unguarded. Could it be that His Royal Highness wants to transfer Liaodong's soldiers and horses to participate in the Central Plains War, but it is not realistic, now Murong Fu is still tossing in the north of Goryeo, even if Yelu Dashi has the ability to reach the sky, it is impossible to destroy Murong Fu's Liaoyan in a short time. Fang Qiliang also reacted to the generals at first, he first felt that the gang of people in Chang'an were crazy, to say that His Royal Highness was whimsical, and the big officials were adventurous, but Scholar Zhu Wu should not agree to this decision. No, there must be something wrong, how could the three of Chang'an unanimously pass such a nonsensical decision. Tiger Prison Pass is the gateway of Luoyang, it can be said that there is a Tiger Prison Pass, Guanzhong soldiers and horses have the possibility of approaching Luoyang, 10,000 steps back, even if you really can't hold Fenglingdu, Guanzhong was captured, as long as there is a Tiger Prison Pass, Ding **** can still rely on Hebei and Beidi, garrison Tiger Prison Pass and Chai Clan to fight to the death, Tiger Prison Pass is the last way back in Guanzhong. Divide the troops from the Tiger Prison Pass. There is a sense of self-defeat. Just saw the confident smile on Tuoba Qingyun's face. Fang Qiliang felt that something was wrong again, and an astonishing idea popped out of his mind inexplicably, is it really not necessary to be locked up, that is to say, there is a way to find a new containment point from somewhere else?

Next, there is no need to explain Tuoba Qingyun, some things can be said, and some things must be kept absolutely secret. The generals said a word, obviously blinded by the things in front of them, Pang He coughed twice. Slightly embarrassed, he said, "Okay, okay, don't make noise, just do what you are told." Remember, when I go out, I will be clever for Ben, and I will treat it as a dead person in the family, so in order to make everyone act like a little bit, Ben will prepare something for everyone. ”

As he spoke, several guards pushed open the door and threw a bunch of things on the table. When everyone looked at it, it turned out to be ginger slices. Now everyone is really crying and laughing. It's over, if you don't want to cry, you have to cry, let's wipe the ginger slices to the corners of my eyes, tears are falling down, and the irritated eyes are a little red and swollen, and when they are ready, everyone leaves the room one by one with their heads bowed. But I never thought that not long after I got out of the house, a cry broke out in the courtyard, and it turned out that Xiao Yue was crying on the spot. In fact, Xiao Yue didn't want to cry, but the **** Pang He took a bunch of ginger slices and wiped it on his face, making a lot of ginger juice into his eyes, Xiao Yue's crying was really similar. Everyone knows that General Xiao is an iron-clad man, the de facto commander of the B Army, if it weren't for the sad thing, he would have shed tears? Xiao Yue was crying in the courtyard, but Tuoba Qingyun frowned when he heard it, "General Pang, are you going too far?" ”

"What can I do, if I don't do this, Xiao can shed tears, it's not as realistic as I want to be!" Pang He felt that he had done the right thing, and the result was the same, as soon as others asked Xiao Yue why he was crying, Xiao Yue craned his neck and said that His Royal Highness was fine, and the fourth prince was fine. But no one believes it, the more he says this, the more there is no silver three hundred taels here, Your Highness is fine, why are you crying?

Fenglingdu's affairs here can't be hidden from Song Jiang, there are so many people in Ding****, there are always some people who eat inside and out, isn't Wu Liang a typical example? With the arrival of Yuan Jingfang, coupled with the reaction of Fenglingdu, Song Jiang and Wu Yong were sure that Chang'an was going very well, it was really good, and Zhao Yougong was defeated with a woman and a child, if he had known, how good would it be? Only Wu Liang looked a little in a bad mood. Song Jiang didn't bother to pay attention to it, some people were born rivals, he and Wu Liang didn't look at each other right, Wu Liang relied on his background, he didn't look at Song Jiang in his eyes, Song Jiang also despised Wu Liang, as a dignified **** veteran, but he wanted to take refuge in Luoyang, what qualifications did he have? Song Jiang had an idea, Wu Liang didn't care, the two originally belonged to the two systems, if it wasn't for Luoyang's requirements, he wouldn't join forces with Song Jiang. Zhao Yougong had an accident, Wu Liang was not happy, he Wu Liang can have today's achievements, but he has to thank Zhao Yougong for his kindness, if there is no His Royal Highness, I am afraid that he Wu Liang does not know where he has died. Wu Liang knew that he was sorry for Zhao Yougong, but since he chose to betray, there was no turning back.

Song Jiang and Wu Yong conspired, Wu Liang left with interest, waiting for Wu Liang to be gone, only his henchmen were left by his side, Song Jiang no longer hid anything, shook the wide embroidered robe, looked at the generals under his command, and felt a little emotional. I think that when the lord of Liangshan was the lord of Liangshan, it was also a fierce general under his command, but now it is good, there are almost no real fierce generals, and most of the old brothers of the year died in the hands of Ding ****. I have long thought about the shame of Yixue, but now that the opportunity has come, Zhao Yougong is already bedridden, Dongfang Jin and Zhu Wu are not prestigious, and Xiao Zhiyun, who is in charge of the B Room Army, is still on Gyeonggi Road and can't come back, isn't it the best opportunity to attack?

"Ladies and gentlemen, judging from the news I have received from all sides, Zhao Yougong has determined that he is about to die, and the soldiers and horses in Fenglingdu have been greatly affected, and the morale is at the lowest time. Tuoba Qingyun and Pang He have always had a disagreement, and I am afraid that the command of this soldier and horse will be contested. In addition, in order to defend Fenglingdu, the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong added a fortification to the south of Fenglingdu, and many soldiers and horses were concentrated here, so it can be said that this is a good opportunity for our side to use troops. Now, I will order that all the divisions must complete their assembly and enter the vicinity of Zhongtiao Mountain at night. Guanzhong soldiers and horses are all concentrated in Fenglei Town and the south bank of Fengling Ferry, Zhongtiao Mountain is bound to defend empty, our department should move forward bravely, take this opportunity to take Zhongtiao Mountain, and capture Tuoba Qingyun alive! ”

Song Jiang is an elegant person, his voice is not high-pitched, a little sharp, but the impassioned words of this remark make people's blood boil, and for a while all the generals stood up and shouted loudly, "We should move forward bravely, live up to our mission, and capture Tuoba Qingyun alive...... Capture Tuoba Qingyun alive! "Enterprising Zhongtiao Mountain, if you can capture Tuoba Qingyun alive, what a boost to morale, although Tuoba Qingyun is a daughter, but she is a rare female middle woman, in Ding****, in addition to Xiao Zhiyun, Tuoba Qingyun ranks second, followed by Hu Sanniang. If this woman can be captured alive, it will definitely be a great credit, and if you take Zhongtiao Mountain, half of the battle of Fenglingdu will be won.

In the middle of the night, Song Jiang's headquarters began to secretly move in the direction of Zhongtian Mountain, and by dawn the next day, more than 30,000 soldiers and horses from the four routes of the headquarters all arrived at the periphery of Zhongtiao Mountain. Before the hour came, Wu Yong ordered Gao Minwen, the vanguard on the left, to take the lead in launching a fierce attack on Jiupangou in Zhongtiao Mountain. There were less than 2,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Jiupangou, and in the face of Gao Minwen's onslaught of more than 5,000 people, they failed in less than half an hour, and the defenders were killed and wounded, and the remaining dozens of people fled to the hinterland of Zhongtiao Mountain. came up and made a good start, so that Song Jiang was more confident in victory, from Jiupangou into Zhongtiao Mountain, for an hour in a row, Song Jiang's department did not encounter a decent attack, which also verified Song Jiang's previous judgment, the **** force is limited, and it is impossible to gather heavy troops to garrison Zhongtiao Mountain. The march of Song Jiang's troops was too smooth, and the road was unimpeded. Finally, when it was close to noon, he met Qi Zhourong's department who came to block him on a small road. Qi Zhourong was originally a Qiang person, and later entered the Chang'an Jingshi University Hall and was assigned to Tuoba Qingyun. Qi Zhourong is a born soldier and a war madman, in just one year, from Guangnan Road to Jianmen Pass, he has made countless meritorious contributions and gained fame, and now he has become the first fierce general under Tuoba Qingyun.

Song Jiang and the others naturally knew Qi Zhourong, and after the two sides met, they didn't have a word, and they came up to fight in battle. Qi Zhourong occupies the highlands of the mountain road and has favorable terrain, while Song Jiang has many generals, and the two sides are difficult to solve. This battle was extremely tragic, the blood dyed the yellow mountain red, and the corpses rolled down everywhere, at the end of the Shen period, Gao Minwen led the troops to occupy the mountain, and divided Qi Zhourong's department into two, at this time Qi Zhourong's department of more than 12,000 people, has been damaged 7788, and there are only 5,000 soldiers left, in desperation, in order to avoid the annihilation of the whole army, Qi Zhourong finally ordered to retreat to the northwest of Zhongtiao Mountain, because there is still the last line of defense commanded by Tuoba Qingyun himself.

As soon as Qi Zhourong withdrew, the morale of Song Jiang's troops was greatly boosted, and Song Jiang and Wu Yong wanted to take the entire Zhongtiao Mountain directly, so Song Jiang's troops began to persistently chase Qi Zhourong's remnants and beat them fiercely. Song Jiang really doesn't need to worry, although it is said that the poor Kou Mo chases, but now there are so many soldiers and horses in Zhongtiao Mountain, do you need to worry about ambushes? Moreover, Qi Zhourong is not a feint. (To be continued.) )
