After a fierce battle for half a day, they didn't even touch the female wall of Tongguan, and Zhou Shiting and Cao Qing suffered heavy casualties, retreated for repair, and were unable to fight again. Xu You sent Zuo Yan to lead the Cuiyu army to attack, but it was still not defeated in the evening, and the night battle was carried out, and the armies took turns to go into battle, only Ming Jing was brave and brave, and climbed the Tongguan female wall, but unfortunately he did not gain a firm foothold and was forced to come down.

The shouting and killing continued all night, and the battle lasted until dawn, and the Chu army suffered nearly 1,000 casualties, so it had to retreat to the edge of the Lintoe Plateau. Burdened by the terrain, the front army is on the plateau, and the rear army is in Huangxiangban, with only 200,000 troops, but only more than 10,000 people can launch an offensive each time, and it is difficult to advance an inch.

The strong attack failed, and Si Zhudu repeated his old tricks, and stepped forward to scold. Mi Po directly ordered the Liang army to scold, Guanzhong millennium heritage, the rich and colorful words are better than thinking about the capital, the group of people who had scolded Wang Cheng to death were half angry, and scolded in the Ningyue dialect when they were in a hurry, and the Liang army also used the Guanzhong dialect and the Qiang language to scold, no one on both sides could understand anyone's words, the chicken and the duck spoke, and scolded for a whole day, seeing that the winner did not distinguish between victory and defeat, and made an appointment to fight again in the coming day, and Mingjin withdrew the troops.

Consult the king of the army, the Qiang people are the most martial and brave, and they can send the woman's clothes to show humiliation and lure him out of the customs for a decisive battle. Who wants Mi Po to touch a straw man, put on the women's clothes, write the four words Xu You's body, put it on the city tower, let three or five stupid big black men touch it, and from time to time with a few lewd smiles, just drive live broadcast.

This time did not lure out the Liang army, but the morale of the Chu army was half dead, from Tan Xiaozu down, they all asked for battle, and they were willing to raise their heads to see if they did not break Tongguan. Wang Yan was even more ashamed, and asked Xu You to punish the crime, but Xu You didn't care, and laughed: "I didn't expect Mi Po to touch this mouthful, it's interesting." When the Tong Pass is broken, don't kill him, let him wear women's clothes to lead the horse and hang the stool for me, and also leave a good story for the history books! ”

The words and deeds of the coach directly affect the mentality of the subordinates, and Xu You is so calm and composed, the irritability and anxiety of everyone due to the disadvantage of breaking the pass have also dissipated.

After knowing the shame, he fought again early the next morning, and when he was at noon, he almost succeeded in breaking through. I don't know what went crazy, hundreds of Liang soldiers didn't dodge swords and guns, grabbed weapons with flesh and bones, and then hugged the Chu army who climbed to the top of the city and jumped down desperately.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the offensive was reversed, the Chu army was driven down again, and everyone was dejected.

Wang Tan offered another plan, just like Zhu Zhikewu Guan, wrote a letter of surrender and threw it into the pass, promising to be a high-ranking official. Mi Po Touch immediately reacted, so that the overseer team should collect all the money they should have, and dare to hide the circulators privately, so as to eliminate the crisis invisibly.

After spending four or five days in this way, the Chu army made no achievements, and Xu You summoned Yang Shun, the head of the Ming Chi Division, and asked if Mi Po had any weaknesses in touching this person. For this western expedition, Yang Shun secretly infiltrated Xiliang a few years ago, inserted, bribed, and divided, and did a lot of things, but he also had no way to touch Mipo. This person is Yao Ji's confidant, and he is also the vested interest of the Golden Bird Dynasty, he has been fighting horses for many years, governing the army strictly, and fighting calmly and resourcefully, so Yao Ji is very relieved to give him 50,000 elite soldiers to guard Tongguan.

When he was helpless, he received the good news from Ye Min from Luoyang, and the 30,000 troops of Hulu Deva were gone, and 50,000 good horses were obtained, and the siege of Luoyang was lifted. Even if Wei Ting sent troops again, it would be at least two months later. In other words, Ye Min won two months of precious time for the western expedition with only 20,000 soldiers and his own strength.

Xu You was overjoyed, played the imperial court, and named Ye Min as the general of the Luozhou Assassin and the Left Army, and ordered him to continue to strengthen the defense of Luoyang, lead the defense of Luozhou, Yuzhou and the rear prefectures and counties, and keep the grain route unblocked.

The news of Luoyang's victory greatly boosted the spirit of the main force of the Chu army that stopped at Tongguan, but he also felt disgraced while being happy, Xu You convened the generals to discuss again, He Wei said: "Since Luoyang is temporarily guaranteed, Tongguan is dangerous and difficult, it is better to follow the previous discussion, choose a good general, cross the Yellow River and go north to attack Pucheng." ”

Xu You pondered for a long time and said, "Zhang Tong, you can analyze the strength and advantages of both the enemy and us. ”

Zhang Tong was conscripted into the general's mansion, as a record room to join the army, with He Wei they learned quickly, the jump of the year has been taken off most of the time, after this period of marching exercises, the skin is dark, the body is strong, and the usual judgment is like two. Listening to Xu You's roll call, he immediately took a long pole, pointed to the large sand table in the tent, and said: "There are about 150,000 foot cavalry in Xiliang country, and the cavalry is about 100,000, and the rest are foot soldiers. At present, 50,000 people are in Tongguan, with 40,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry; 20,000 people were in Pucheng, mostly infantry, with a few cavalry; 20,000 people were in Qingni, and they confronted Zhu Zhushi, and these 20,000 people were all cavalry; The other states and counties were scattered between 1 and 20,000 men, most of whom were infantry; The main force of the Chinese army in Yao Ji's hands is 50,000, which was originally expanded from the left troops under his command, all of which are Xiliang horses, well-equipped, and brave in battle, so they must be given sufficient vigilance. ”

"And our army has 200,000 people, the strength is superior, the infantry, cavalry, chariot, and water divisions are complete, and the swords, armor, bows and crossbows are stronger than the Liang army, and they are on the offensive and occupy the initiative. It is inconvenient to transport grain and grass, which is good for quick fighting, but not for a long time! ”

Xu You praised twice, suddenly turned his head to look at He Wei, and said, "If you divide your troops to the north, who can join the military department take on this important task?" ”

"Xue Xuanmo!" He Wei cut the way categorically.

Xu You smiled and said, "General Xue is certainly a lucky general, but attacking Pucheng in the north is a big deal," he said, his gaze stayed on Tan Xiaozu, and said, "I wonder if General Che Cai can relieve my worries?" ”

Tan Xiaozu resolutely clenched his fists and said, "I wish to go under the festival!" ”

"Okay, I want you to take 50,000 people from Jingzhou, prepare grain and grass, and go north immediately!"

"No!"

That night, Tan Xiaozu led his troops to quietly cross the Yellow River by the Youdu army, and after seven or eight days, Tan Xiaozu sent news that Pucheng had been captured.

Pucheng Taishou Yin Zhao once fought with Yao Ji when he rebelled, and later Yao Ji successfully ascended the throne, Yin Zhao had no choice but to submit, in fact, he was very disgusted with this usurping Golden Bird Heavenly Son. So Tan Xiaozu's army had just arrived, and the thunder cannon had not yet been erected, and he knew that he could not compete with the troops in his hand alone, and if the soldiers were exhausted, he would become a lonely man, and he would die worse than anyone else in this troubled world, so he surrendered decisively.

Yin Zhao is a Han Chinese, and his ancestors are also Qingzhou Wang clan, and he was in Guanzhong during the Wuhu Rebellion, slowly gaining a foothold, and finally became a vassal of the Liang State.

After receiving the news, the Military Affairs Department redeployed the battle plan, handed it over to Xu You for approval, and approved its implementation. First deliberately spread the surrender of Yin Zhaoxian City, Tan Xiaozu led 100,000 main forces to cross Pubanjin, so that Mi Po was shocked and suspicious, and hurriedly sent scouts to investigate, and received an edict from Chang'an a few days later, Yao Ji asked him to quickly defeat the remnants of the Chu army outside Tongguan, and then led his troops to the north, stopped Tan Xiaozu, and strictly ordered Yin Zhao, a rebel general, to kill without mercy.

On the morning of May 6, after being blocked by Tongguan for 20 days, the siege was launched again with great momentum, Xu You personally went to Lintoe Plateau to beat drums and cheer, the Chu army was like eating elixir, such as fierce gods and evil spirits, the battle was in full swing, and a horse came from the east from afar, galloped into the camp, and then several people came to tell Xu You in a panic. Xu You was beating the drum, the drumstick in his hand fell to the ground, and he left the battlefield without looking back.

Then the Chu army retreated like a stream, and there was no movement. Mi Po knew that there was a change, and sent secret agents to take advantage of the night to enter the Chu camp to find out the truth. The spies reported that the Wei army besieged Luoyang and cut off the grain route of the Chu army, and the grain and grass of the Chu army could only be used for three days by the 200,000 army, and it seemed that there was an intention to withdraw the troops to rescue Luoyang.

When it was dawn, he saw that there were no soldiers and horses in Lintoe Plateau, and Mi Po ordered people to probe again, and learned that the Chu army was turning around and turning back to Luoyang, the formation was chaotic and disorderly, and the soldiers were in a hurry. Several generals jointly demanded that they immediately chase after me to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, and Mi Po sneered: "This is Xu You's trick, he wants to lure me out of the city, and there must be ambushes along the way." Don't pay attention to him, just guard the Tong Pass, forgive the Chu people for being unable to enter the pass half a step! ”

"Marshal, don't miss the opportunity! The Chu people came from afar, the grain and herbs were not good, and they lost their strength under my Guancheng, 200,000 people, how much do they consume every day? Where can Xu You withstand it? Now that Luoyang is besieged by the Wei army, the grain route has been cut off, and the hasty retreat is a God-given opportunity for us to make this immortal achievement. ”

"Yes, commander, give the order! How could the Chu people have been put in our eyes? I have 50,000 people in Xiliang, which is enough to be a million soldiers, and only 200,000 pigs and sheep, but let the sons and daughters cut and kill for a while. ”

The generals are begging bitterly, and seeing the opportunity to be rewarded for meritorious service, who can hold back the greed in their hearts? Mi Po touched it was not allowed, and at this time, his henchman joined the secret room of the army and said: "Tan Xiaozu's army is strong, and it has occupied several counties, north of the Wei River, and it has almost fallen. The Lord wants the commander to make a quick decision, and his words are becoming more and more harsh, and if he does not seize this opportunity, I am afraid that he will ......."

Mi Po couldn't help but feel a little moved, so he sent spies again, and learned that the Chu army had abandoned the baggage and camp tents, had evacuated Ruxiang, and really wanted to return to Luoyang, and finally couldn't stand the pressure of Chang'an and the bewitchment of the troops, leaving 5,000 foot soldiers to guard the pass, and chased after 40,000 cavalry.

Chase all the way to Lingbao West Plateau, the south side is a high mountain, the north side is the Yellow River, the middle is a slender canyon, about seventy miles long, suddenly saw that the Chu army has set up camp, but the arrow is on the string, has to send, so the cavalry charged.

In the final analysis, the Liang army still looks down on the field combat ability of the Chu army, and even the Chu people, who have been blowing for many years, are good at attacking and defending the city, and they have seen it in front of Tongguan in the past ten days, but Erer. Therefore, although Mi Po touched the army cautiously, but after repelling the attacks of the Chu army many times in a row, he inevitably became arrogant in his heart, and did not turn around in time, but made up his mind to take advantage of this battle to achieve an overwhelming victory, and then turn back to clean up Tan Xiaozu.

The defense is the 10,000 Cuiyu army led by Ming Jing, he is good at fighting tough battles, dares to fight hard, can die effectively, and it is perfect to use it to block here. The colleagues of the Supervision Department were boosting the morale of each camp and said: "All cheer up, hold your guns tightly, and win this battle, the general said, there is enough wine and meat tonight!" ”

"Chop off a horse's legs, stab a horse's belly, cut off a man's head! Don't rob, don't care about the enemies who rush behind you, just look ahead, ahead! ”

"Think about the millions of Han fathers and elders in Guanzhong, who have been oppressed by the Qiang people for many years! If we win this battle, we will save countless lives! ”

"Well, the enemy is starting to die! See you alive, brothers! ”

The soldiers laughed loudly: "See you alive!" ”

"Crossbowmen prepare! Put!"

"Bow ready! Put! ”

The sound of the horse's hooves of the cavalry was deafening, even overshadowing the rolling and whistling of the Yellow River, the spearman Wu Qi in the front row felt the most intensely, the enemy in the pupils changed from small to large, and he could almost see the tremor of the nose of the war horse with a cage beak when he exhaled, the sound of the bowstring seemed to be only one sound, and then countless arrows fell from the sky like a bean, and his ears heard Wu Chang screaming and squatting, squatting, he hid his body under the cover of the shield soldiers, and then he didn't have time to react, and the spear in his hand and the enemy collided together.

The huge impact force made his knees creak, and the sharp pain in his heart almost passed out, but Wu Qi is also a veteran who has been on the battlefield many times, and if he can feel the pain, it means that he is still alive, and hurriedly raised his eyes to find that the enemy's cavalry did not hit his gun head-on, but only penetrated deeply into the horse's belly from the flank, and the horse's legs were also cut off from below by the axe hand next to him, slowing down the impact, the cavalry fell from the horse and fell into the team, Wu Qi could see the horror and despair on his face, but his heart was very calm, pulled out a sharp knife, and slashed his neck cleanly.

Blood splashed, Wu Qi retreated, and immediately there were spearmen to fill the position, the queue change in wartime is the strongest point of the Cuiyu Army, this is the body reflex formed by strict training thousands of times a day and a month, almost become instinct, and on the battlefield, this is a talisman to live.

Boom!

The body of the horse and the maple spear collided again, and the two sides were strangled together, and the battle was fierce. Mi Po was shocked by the field level of the Chu army, and personally rushed forward to urge the front army to fight, as long as he defeated this group of broken sharp soldiers, passed through the Xiyuan Gorge, and reached the open area in front, he could deploy the whole army, chisel through the Chu army's front, and then divide and encircle, and a big victory can be expected!

Suddenly, an ambush of more than 10,000 people appeared on Nanshan, led by Qi Xiao, who first shot with a bow and crossbow, then smashed a boulder, and then swooped down, cutting off the Liang army from the middle. Then it was divided into two parts, one formed a formation to block the cavalry in the back half, and the other attacked the front half from the rear, and Ming Jing joined forces to fight until the sky was getting dark, eating nearly 20,000 people of this Liang army.

When the gun was turned, the Liang army in the rear was too timid to fight, and fled in a rout, and Mi Po couldn't hold it down when he touched the bullet, and was wrapped in chaos and fled helplessly to Tongguan.

Xu You knew that the capture of the pass was here, and released the only two thousand cavalry in his hand, each carrying three flags, pretending to be huge, and following after him, he must make the Liang army panic, and Qi Xiaoming followed closely with his footmen.

Originally, they retreated to Tongguan and reorganized in time, which could save the defeat, but the 5,000 foot soldiers guarding the pass saw that hundreds of cavalry fled back in embarrassment, and saw the smoke and dust billowing behind them. The cavalry who just entered the pass naturally had the same example, and the back did not need to speak, and when Mi Po touched back to the front of the Tongguan gate, there were few people left and right, and they couldn't help but cry, and touched the gate three times with their heads, and were forced to leave by the guards.

Occupy Tongguan, 800 miles of Qinchuan has a panoramic view, Xu You stepped on the blood-stained horse road, climbed to the top of the city, watched the water of the Yellow River fall from the sky, the sunset sank into the mountain, this is:

Lubu is even more popular, and Wang Shi will go down to Tongguan sooner or later!
