Chapter 913: Survive with a broken tail

However, it was said that Qin Hao ordered Li Cunxiao to lead the cavalry to support, but Li Cunxiao directly ignored all the Liang troops along the way, and led 15,000 cavalry straight to the tiger prison.

The intersection of the Tiger Prison Pass was not far from the Hukou in front of the pass, and Li Cunxiao led the cavalry to gallop at full speed and soon arrived in front of the Tiger Prison Pass.

At this time, nearly half of the Liang army had withdrawn into the pass, and of course, nearly half of the troops had not yet entered the pass, but they were lined up in a neat queue to enter the pass in an orderly manner.

On the battlefield in front of the Hukou Pass of the Tiger Prison, at this time, it can be said that there are stumps and broken arms everywhere, and the outer location of the catapult is also a mess, only a few of the remaining parts are intact, and there are only more than 3,000 people left in the 10,000 coalition troops.

Seeing this scene, Li Cunxiao didn't know that he was late, of course, Li Cunxiao couldn't blame him, after all, he was just responsible for leading the army to rush over.

The main lag is still Gongsun Zhan, the pig teammate, and his mistake also directly caused the collapse of the Longmen Array, thus paying the price of four or five thousand more deaths, of course, he will also pay the price.

Li Cunxiao rushed over from the sour jujube non-stop, and it didn't matter if he didn't catch up with the big battle on the lord's side, if he didn't even drink the soup here, then he would really run in vain.

Seeing that there were still thousands of Liang troops at the gate of the city who had not yet entered the city, a bloodthirsty smile flashed at the corner of Li Cunxiao's mouth, and the long lance in his hand shouted for a while: "Kill ......"

"Kill...... Kill...... Kill ......"

Li Cunxiao and the allied reinforcements arrived at this time, which also made the Liang army outside the city panic.

At this moment of life and death, no one cared about any order, and everyone rushed up to the city gate, and for a while, the tiger prison closed the city gate and became extremely chaotic.

"Don't squeeze ...... Don't crowd ...... If this continues, no one will be able to get in......"

This persuasion not only did not have the slightest effect, but became more chaotic because of the cavalry of the coalition forces, and the soldiers in charge of managing the order were even trampled to death

Li Shimin looked at the chaotic city gate, and saw that Li Cunxiao was killing towards the city gate, and a trace of firmness immediately flashed in his eyes, and then he said in a deep voice: "Pull the suspension bridge and close the city gate." ”

"But the general, and what about the soldiers outside?" A partial general said with some hesitation.

"If you don't close the city gate again, Li Cunxiao will enter the city."

Li Shimin shouted angrily, and this time the general didn't dare to talk back, and immediately went to carry out the order in person.

The moat of the Tiger Prison Pass has actually been filled in by the coalition forces a long time ago, so even if the drawbridge is pulled, the soldiers cannot get close to the city gate, but after pulling the drawbridge, there is a drawbridge as a barrier, and the soldiers can only run into the city from the gap on both sides, which can also limit the area of the soldiers close to the city gate, so as to facilitate the people in the pass to close the city gate.

Seeing that the gate of the tiger prison was slowly closing, the soldiers who had not entered the city were also completely panicked, some begged, some cried, and some scolded.

"Don't close the gates, I haven't entered yet......"

"Lao Tzu has fought for the Liang Army for ten years, and he is the hero of the Liang Army, is this how you treat the meritorious soldiers......

"I have a seventy-year-old mother and a five-year-old child, and I don't want to die......"

No matter what, the city gate was closed, and anyone who stopped the gate died at the hands of Liang Jun's own people.

These Liangzhou soldiers did not die in the thrilling Longmen array, but instead died in the hands of their own people, how ironic!

But there was no way, in order to keep the tiger prison, Li Shimin at this time had to break his tail to survive.

Later, after counting, it was found that the soldiers who returned to the pass were only in their early 10,000s.

In this battle, Li Shimin personally led 40,000 troops out of the pass, used 8,000 troops to block the enemy's reinforcements, used a total of 20,000 troops to defeat the Longmen array, and mobilized 12,000 soldiers and horses to deal with the trapped camp.

Lu Bu's army of 8,000 to block the enemy was an outcast, and naturally there was no second way except death and surrender, and 12,000 soldiers were killed in the Longmen array, and 3,000 soldiers and horses were also killed and wounded in the opposing camp, with a total of 22,000 casualties.

That is to say, the Liang army at the time of retreat still had 18,000 troops, but it only returned to the pass with more than 10,000 troops, which means that there were still nearly 8,000 troops outside the pass.

Eight thousand troops is not a small number, and Li Cunxiao has missed two major battles in a row, and he is actually holding back a fire in his heart, and now he has finally encountered the opposite direction of venting, so naturally he will not let go of the soldiers outside the city.

Li Cunxiao divided his cavalry into three groups of 5,000 horsemen each, one group killed from left to right, and one group killed from right to left, while he himself personally led 5,000 soldiers and horses to kill from the middle.

Under the three-way outflanking of 15,000 cavalry, the 8,000 Liang army, which was already exhausted, was quickly killed and collapsed.

If the Liang army outside this pass wants to escape back to the pass, this is already impossible, and if you want to survive, there is only one way to go, that is, to beg on the ground.

After some rushing and killing, Li Cunxiao saw that the Liang army outside the city had lost all their courage, so he accepted their surrender, and after counting, he showed up another 6,000 troops.

At this time, Qin Hao's side had also finished cleaning the battlefield, and the 8,000 roadblocks led by Lu Bu had 4,000 killed and 4,000 surrendered, while the coalition army had also suffered nearly 3,000 casualties.

In other words, the coalition army killed a total of 20,000 enemies, captured 10,000, and suffered 10,000 casualties themselves.

Since the Battle of Tiger Prison, the coalition forces have been on the besieging side, so the number of casualties has always been higher than that of the Liang army, and this battle has reversed most of the previous losses.

After Qin Hao's side cleaned up the battlefield, he immediately took the princes and the remaining soldiers and horses to the Tiger Prison, and the first order he gave after arriving was to escort all the prisoners back to the camp first.

At this time, the generals, led by Xue Rengui, came to Qin Hao together, and said in unison: "The last general is incompetent, and he failed to keep the catapult, and he has the high hopes of the lord (alliance leader), and he also hopes that the lord (alliance leader) will surrender." ”

Qin Hao smiled indifferently and asked, "How many catapults are left intact?" ”

"There are only a hundred left, but if they are disassembled and repaired, they should be able to repair fifty."

"One hundred and fifty?"

After Qin Hao pondered for a while, he smiled mysteriously and said, "It's enough." ”

Xue Rengui and the other generals couldn't help but feel a little puzzled when they heard this, the firepower network formed by the 150 catapults was not enough to suppress the catapults on the Tiger Prison, but why did the lord say that it was enough?

Qin Hao obviously didn't mean to explain, but looked at Gongsun Zhan among the princes, and said with a light smile: "Gongsun Taishou, you promised the leader of this alliance, don't forget it!" ”

The corners of Gongsun Zhan's mouth twitched, and he said with a wry smile: "My subordinates understand that my Youzhou army will also do its best to make it worth." ”

Qin Hao nodded, and then said to Xue Rengui: "Arrange the battlefield immediately, this battle is not over yet, there will be a big battle in a while......"
