From Dong Zhuo's army rushing to the Yingou Water Righteous Army, to the rescue of Cao Cao and Liu Bei's two armies, and then to the defeat of the enemy army in the Gap Water.

In this battle, the two armies of Cao Cao and Liu Bei each lost more than 1,000 people; Liu Dai, Kong Rong, and Qiaomao lost nearly 10,000 people in total; Dong Zhuojun lost about 14,000 men; More than 6,000 usable horses were seized, and the ordnance seized was not counted!

However, it was said that on the second day after Cao Cao led the army to rescue the Right Route Army, Bao Xin, Xiahoudun, and Cao Ren led 20,000 troops west into Longcheng. Bao Xinling Xiahoudun and Cao Ren each led 8,000 troops halfway. Bao Xin led 4,000 men to Longcheng to lure the enemy.

Fan Chou and Zhang Ji, who were stationed in Longcheng, saw that Bao Xin's army was small in number and the army was not in order, so they led their troops out of the city to attack and kill. Bao Xinjun saw Dong Zhuo's army coming, and retreated more than 20 miles to the east.

Fan Chou and Zhang Ji didn't know Bao Xin's plan, and they chased and killed for more than ten miles. Xiahoudun and Cao Ren's two-way ambush soldiers, killing left and right; Bao Xin also turned back to kill.

The Three-Way Righteous Army defeated Dong Zhuojun and beheaded more than 5,000 ranks. Fan Chou and Zhang Ji were defeated and returned to Longcheng; Bao Xin and others stationed troops thirty miles east of Longcheng, and Yuan Yi and Zhang Miao led the army to join the division.

Besides, after Cao Cao and Liu Bei led their troops to cross the chasm in the south, they did not stop, and rushed all the way south. At the time of the day, the armies of Cao Cao and Liu Bei arrived thirty miles west of Longcheng. Cao Cao immediately sent a message to Bao Xin, and in the early morning, he attacked the enemy army in Longcheng from east to west.

It was night, Bao Xin received Cao Cao's secret letter, and his heart was overjoyed, so he brought the secret letter to see Zhang Miao. Zhang Miao's excitement was beyond words, and the two discussed it and came to meet Yuan Yi overnight. Yuan Yi was also excited, so he ordered Bao Xin to be the vanguard, leading 18,000 troops into Longcheng. Yuan Yi and Zhang Miao led 10,000 troops to support them!

Before the next hour arrived, Fan Chou and Zhang Ji, who were stationed in Longcheng, received military information from the scouts, and the Kwantung coalition army had killed from the east and west of Longcheng, which was less than 20 miles. Fan Chou and Zhang Ji were shocked, and after thinking for a long time, they expected that Dong Yue, Li Su and others must have been defeated in Hucheng Pavilion.

Fan Chou and Zhang Ji were so frightened that they neither dared to go out of the city to face the battle, nor did they dare to defend Longcheng. The two then left 5,000 soldiers to garrison Longcheng, and ordered the soldiers to spread more banners on the city to confuse the enemy troops coming from the east and west.

Fan Chou and Zhang Ji took the rest of the soldiers out of the south gate of Longcheng with their banners down, and ran wildly to the southwest for more than 50 miles, and came to Yuting. Subsequently, Fan Chou and Zhang Ji led their troops to cross the water from the west of Yuting; After a detour to the north, he fled back to the Tiger Prison Pass.

When Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Bao Xin and others led their troops to the city of Longcheng. The five thousand Dong Zhuojun soldiers had already knelt outside the city, begging for mercy with tears in their eyes.

Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others already knew that Fan Chou, Zhang Ji and others had escaped. The Left Route Army rested in Longcheng for two days, and then marched west to the Tiger Pass.

On August 22, 188, the left and right route armies of Suozao Division, totaling more than 75,000 people, triumphantly joined forces thirty miles west of Hugao Pass.

……

Besides, Dong Yue, Li Su, Hua Xiong, and Yang Ding, after crossing the chasm with the remnants of the defeated army, fled all the way back to the Tiger Prison Pass, and immediately went to meet Niu Fu.

Dong Yue and the four of them didn't dare to deceive Niu Fu, so they replied to Niu Fu word for word about the things before and after the defeat. Niu Fu knew in his heart, the blame for this defeat was not Dong Yue and a few people, it was Cao Cao who used his troops too much!

Niu Fu's kind words comforted everyone, and Dong Yue and Hua Xiong naturally thanked them repeatedly. It was really a disaster, and it made matters worse, and on the second day of the defeat of Hucheng Pavilion, Fan Chou and Zhang Ji were also defeated and returned to the Tiger Prison Pass.

Similarly, Niu Fu did not blame Fan Chou and Zhang Ji. Niu Fu, Dong Yue, Li Su and others, seeing that the Kwantung Coalition Army was so brave, no longer dared to send troops to fight easily, so they had to defend the Tiger Pass.

……

Tiger Prison Closes the Tower!

"Report ......"

"What kind of military situation is it?"

"Qi Yu Dudu, the enemy army has pulled out of the camp and advanced westward, and it is now far from the Tiger Prison Pass...... Less than twenty miles! Dong Zhuojun scout reported urgently.

"Probe!"

Niu Fu waved his hand, looking at the sky in the east with a solemn face, and after a long time, Fang sighed and groaned: "Now...... With the might of a great victory, the enemy army entered the Tiger Prison. I'm waiting for ...... What to do? ”

Dong Yue, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, Hua Xiong, and Yang Ding sighed lightly, but they were also at a loss, so they had to be silent.

It was a long time later......

"Governor ......" Li Su said with a solemn face: "At present, our army has only 34,000 people who can fight. Whereas...... The enemy army has at least 70,000 capable soldiers. The last will be foolish...... Our army should defend the Tiger Prison to the death! ”

"Alas......" Niu Fu nodded lightly, sighed again, and then muttered: "Our army is in Hucheng Pavilion and Longcheng...... Defeated twice by the enemy. Nowadays...... The morale of the soldiers was low, and the army had no fighting spirit. Although this tiger prison is dangerous...... I'm afraid it's hard to defend yourself! ”

"Don't worry!"

"As far as the last general knows, the enemy's siege equipment is small and incomplete. Tiger Prison Pass is a rare male pass in the world, which is enough to resist the enemy army outside the pass! ”

"Besides, there is plenty of food, grass, and ordnance in the Tiger Prison Pass, as long as we are united and defend the pass. No matter how numerous the enemy is, they will not be able to shake the Tiger Prison in the slightest. ”

"We can rotate day and night, guard the pass, hold on, and wait for work. When the enemy's food is exhausted and retreats, the governor will send the elite to cover and kill, and he will definitely be able to make a gain! ”

Li Su gave a salute, and then said in a loud voice.

"Hmmm......"

Niu Fu nodded, and then hesitated: "As far as the governor of Pontsu knows, the grain and grass of the enemy army in sour dates are all supplied by Yingchuan County, and Yingchuan County is an extremely rich county. The enemy ...... When will we run out? ”

"Don't worry about the governor!"

Li Su smiled and said with relief: "The governor can send light horsemen, after passing from the Tiger Prison, detour to the south, or plunder the enemy's grain and grass, or harass the enemy's grain road, and will definitely be able to make achievements." At that time...... The enemy army is short of food and grass, so naturally they dare not hold it for a long time! ”

"Good!" Niu Fu thought about it for a while, and felt that Li Su's suggestion was feasible, and then laughed loudly: "From now on, our army will defend the Tiger Prison Pass!" When the enemy army runs out of food and retreats, then wave the troops to attack and kill! ”

Dong Yue, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, and Hua Xiong were also relieved in their hearts, and hurriedly nodded their heads!

At this moment, on the horizon east of Tiger Prison Pass, an endless military formation appeared in the field of vision of Niu Fu and others.

In less than half an hour, the mountains and fields east of the Tiger Prison Pass were already dusty and flag-covered in the sky. I saw that the drums of the sour jujube coalition army shook the sky, the guns and halberds were clear, and they rushed to the tiger prison with murderous spirit.

Niu Fu, Dong Yue, Li Su and others, seeing that the morale of the enemy army was like a rainbow and the fighting spirit was boiling, they were secretly terrified in their hearts!

Fortunately, the Tiger Prison Pass is tall and strong enough, and it is complete with rolling wood, radium, arrows, bows and crossbows. Otherwise, Niu Fu, Dong Yue, Li Su and others are afraid that they will abandon the pass and flee.

Just when Niu Fu, Dong Yue, Li Su and others were looking at Guan Xia with a frightened face. The sour jujube coalition has set up a military formation!
