Chapter 076: Killing the Tiger Pass

Kill the tiger!

There is food and soldiers in the city!

Su Dingfang and Xue Wan both defended the city and fought fiercely with the Turks here.

At this time, blood flowed from every stone outside the city, and every inch of land under the city wall was red, and there were countless blood puddles.

The Turkic army has been attacking day and night for three days and investing tens of thousands of troops, but although the Tiger Killing Pass is full of traces of war, it is still as stable as Mount Tai.

Su Dingfang's tall and thin figure stood at the head of the city, and he looked at the Turkic people who retreated like a tide outside the city indifferently.

Xue Wanjun said: "General Su, there are so many Turks. ”

"If you kill one less one, there won't be more in the future!" Su Dingfang replied.

No matter how many Turkic troops there are, they can't rush up in the canyon at all, and the Tiger Killing Pass is a first-class fortress in the world, and the Turks who lack effective means can't overcome it at all.

"I don't know what's going on with Your Highness?"

"Just one Liu Wuzhou, who is the opponent of an upright teacher?" At this time, behind the two of them, there was a hearty laughter.

As soon as the two turned around, they saw Li Jingyun walking lightly step by step.

"Master Li! Liu Wuzhou is finished? ”

"It's over!" Li Jing looked outside the city and said with a smile: "It seems that the Turks have also learned wisely, and they actually know how to fill the uneven river valley with mud. Let's go, let's go to Seki Castle to discuss things! ”

Li Jing took the two generals and a group of young generals to Guancheng, and after giving a general introduction to the war in the south, he told Yang Tong's plan again.

The crowd was full of enthusiasm.

Su Dingfang said: "How do we do it?" ”

Li Jing laughed: "You continue to defend the city." ”

Xue Wanjun said: "Then the adults ......"

"I'm wondering, can I eat all these 300,000 Turks?" Li Jing said solemnly.

Everyone gasped, this Li Jing's appetite is even bigger than His Highness!

"Is that okay?"

"If you plan well, you may not be impossible!" Li Jing smiled and took out a roll of maps, spread them on the table, found the location of the Tiger Killing Pass, and then moved northwest along the line to a place called Hulukou, and said: "From the Tiger Killing Pass to the Hulukou, there is a canyon six miles long, and the canyon is flanked by lofty mountains and mountains, and a random stone can be thrown down to kill people." ”

"It's just that this canyon can't hold more than 300,000 people, so what I mean is that after consuming a certain number of people with the help of the Tiger Killing Pass, wait for all the enemy troops to enter the valley, and then use wood and stones to block the back road, and finally use rolling wood and stones and fire to wipe it out."

Su Dingfang said: "We are guarding the pass, what if we run away when the beginning is over?" ”

"Therefore, you can't guard the pass to death, you must properly give him a feeling that he is about to be broken, and when the casualties reach a certain number, he can't help but retreat. He is the Khan of the Turks, and the Turks believe in the respect of the strong, if he loses his troops and retreats in ashes, not to mention that he cannot explain to his people, and even shakes the prestige of his Khan, therefore, he must break through the Tiger Pass and go back with some gains. ”

Su Dingfang nodded, and asked again: "But do we have enough ordnance and food?" ”

"Don't worry!" Li Jing said with a smile: "When His Royal Highness left Taiyuan, he had already ordered Lord Wang Wei to transport 300,000 loads of grain, winter clothes, and military equipment from Taiyuan to Mayi. It is estimated that it has now reached the floor trouble. ”

……

Kill the tiger!

Shibi Khan retreated ten miles back to the White Wolf Daxu and stationed it on the more open Purple River Plain.

After all, the passage several miles long under the White Wolf was only more than 300 steps wide, surrounded by mountains on both sides, and there was a river in the middle, which was too narrow, and for the 300,000 Turkic army, this passage of less than ten miles was difficult to even arrange soldiers and horses.

Within the Great Tent.

All the leaders of the accompanying troops were present.

Shibi Khan sat high in the middle, and a pair of sharp eagle eyes coldly swept over the people in the tent.

The wind of the river penetrated through the tent, just like the eyes of the beginning.

A number of Turkic aristocratic officials were a little uneasy.

"Yang Tong attacked Dingyang Khan (Liu Wuzhou), killed my people, and now people are blocking my way south, tomorrow, our army must take the Tiger Pass!"

As soon as the word was over, everyone was silent.

They had been fighting for three days, and they had also seen how strong and difficult the Central Plains city defense was.

Although the Tiger Pass is not as tall and strong as Daxing, Luoyang, Taiyuan and other important cities, the terrain here is narrow.

Between the two mountains, sandwich a six-mile passage with a width of more than 300 steps, and the city is five zhang high, especially after the emergency repair and reinforcement, five fortresses are formed, which makes the Tiger Killing Pass become a triple five passes, which is more difficult to fight.

With such a narrow terrain, there can only be a few thousand people under the guan at most. This particular terrain completely limits their numerical superiority.

Immediately, all the generals and leaders talked about it, but none of them could think of a way to attack the city, after all, it was easy for them to pass the pass when they came, but that was because the city was dilapidated at that time, and there was only a very small team of soldiers guarding the pass.

Shibi's eyes fell on Tongluo's Tongluo Capital.

"Batu Qijin, you are a famous warrior on the grassland, a leopard on the grassland, tomorrow to tackle the problem, you will be the striker, how about it?"

Tong Luo Du was fifty years old, tall and burly, and very brave. However, at this time, his reaction was not positive, and he shook his head directly, "The terrain of Killing Tiger Pass is high and dangerous, I think it is not the best strategy to attack." It's better to find another way! ”

Shibi Khan said coldly: "I Turkic 300,000 iron horsemen, back then, surrounded Yang Guang so that there was no way to go to the sky and no way to enter the ground, if it weren't for Yicheng's slut, Yang Guang would have been captured by us a long time ago." Now that my Turks are stronger than they were back then, how can I be intimidated by a mere wall? ”

Tongluo was silent to express his dissatisfaction with Shibi Khan.

At this time, the chief of the Xue Yantuo tribe, Yi lost his bowl, and said, "The Sui army has seized the opportunity and is in danger, and it is waiting for work, our army is not prepared enough, and continuing to force the fortress will only make the casualties worse." He advised Shibi Khan and said, "Great Khan, I agree with Tong Luodu's suggestion and find another way." ”

The chief of the Chebi tribe, Chebi Yago, also has this attitude.

For a time, the chiefs of the Tiele tribes all said that they would change their paths.

Shibi Khan's eyes were cold, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The Tiele people have always rebelled against impermanence.

Moreover, the Tiele tribes have rebelled more than once.

In the second year of the emperor's reign, when Sha Bolu sent troops to invade the Sui, when he went south, Tongluo and the two servants rebelled under the instigation of the Sui Dynasty, forcing Sha Boluo to withdraw his troops in a hurry.

In the eighteenth year of the emperor's reign, the Western Turkic Datou Khan took the opportunity of the killing of the Tu Turkic Dulan Khan to occupy Mobei, and the Tiele tribes such as Tongluo were then attached to the Western Turks.

In the second year of Renshou, the Tiele tribes were dissatisfied with the oppression of Datou Khan, and rebelled when Datou Khan was defeated by the Sui army, and returned to the Sui Dynasty, forcing Datou Khan to go west to Tuguhun, and finally did not know what to do.

In the following year, the Western Turks succeeded to the throne and took brutal revenge on the Tiele tribes, killing hundreds of the chiefs of the Xue Yantuo tribes, thus forcing the Tiele tribes to rebel.

A few years ago, the Tiele tribes introduced Qibi Yage as Yi Mozhen Mohe Khan, and promoted Xue Yantuo's Yi Lost Bowl as Yi Yu Xiao Khan. Later, the Western Turkic Khan became stronger, and they canceled the Khan in the seventh year of the Great Cause, and returned to the Shibi Khan of the Gu Turks.

Although the strength of the Tiele tribes is not as good as that of the Turks, they have strong strength, and the Shibi Khan must also be afraid of three points. This time, all the tribes came, but everyone was not completely obedient to Shibi Khan.

Especially in the previous three days, the siege of the city was all Tiele people, and everyone lost a lot of soldiers and horses, so they were even more dissatisfied.

"I don't believe that I can't conquer the Tiger Killing Pass, which has only 20,000 people. It is impossible to choose any other way! Looking at the leaders of the Tiele tribes, the murderous intent in the heart of Shibi Khan was like a tide.
