Chapter 578: The Battle of the Tiger Prison

After crossing the river in Liyangjin, he landed in Baimajin and entered the territory of Changyuan County, Chenliu County. If you go all the way southwest from here, less than a hundred miles is the place where Xiaohuang County is located. Chaoge County of Ji County and Changyuan County of Chenliu County are opposite each other across the river, and from Changyuan County all the way to the southwest, several counties of Chenliu County and Xingyang County are opposite to Ji County and Hanoi County across the river. And now, these places happen to be where Murong Trai and Huangfu Zhen are stationed.

Murong Ke's messenger arrived very quickly, and before Murong Ke arrived at Qishui Pass, the military order had already been sent to Murong Ke's hands.

These days, Murong Chui has also been paying attention to the war in Hanoi County, after all, it is too close over there. Even the slightest disturbance will immediately spread to the other side of the Yellow River.

The Yan army defended against the Jin army and the Tang army in the area north of Xingyang and Xuchang, but because the battlefield situation fell into a stalemate, the war could not be fought for a while.

Therefore, Murong Chui was in charge of the affairs south of the Yellow River in Xiaohuang County, while Huangfu Zhen was in Xingyang County, specifically responsible for defending the Tang army from the direction of the Tiger Prison.

Xingyang County and Huai County face each other across the river, so Huangfu Zhen's side is the most sensitive to the war in Hanoi County.

After the Tang army left Hanoi, he immediately raised his vigilance, especially the defense of the Tiger Pass. Later, he also strengthened the defenses along the river to prevent the Tang army from Hanoi County to Xingyang County.

Other than that, there was basically nothing they could do, because the affairs of Hanoi County were not under the jurisdiction of the two of them. Moreover, the situation on the battlefield is changing very quickly, and even if they want to cross the river to support, it will be too late for a while.

Now that the entire Hanoi County has fallen into the hands of Li Xin, and even the Ji County has almost been taken by the Tang army, the threat from the north has suddenly become greater. Murong Chui and Huangfu Zhen both began to worry a little about their situation at this time.

Murong Ke's military order was like timely rain to him. After receiving the order, Murong Trai did not hesitate and hurriedly mobilized an army of 10,000.

Then it was led by Huang Fuzhen, and the starry night rushed to Suozao County, preparing to cross the river from there, and then attack the Tang army in various places south of Qishui Pass.

If he can succeed, Murong Ke will be able to easily take down Qishui. Then, the army took advantage of the situation to move south, killed Yewang County in one fell swoop, and recovered Hanoi County.

As for the people who stayed behind after Huangfu Zhen left, they were replaced by Sun Xi. After all, compared to Huangfu Zhen, Sun Xi's ability to lead troops is still a lot worse. Murong Chui didn't want anything to go wrong with the rescue this time, so he let Huangfu really lead the troops.

Besides, the Tiger Prison is now in his own hands, and Sun Xi may not be able to forge ahead, but there should be no big problem with Shoucheng.

Just when Huangfu Zhen led his army along the east bank of the Yellow River and prepared to cross the river in Suozao County, Zhao Ji, who had been stationed in Gongxian County, soon got the news.

"Your Highness has ordered us to prepare and wait for the time to come, and now, the time has finally come! After Hanoi County and Ji County were taken by us, the banks of the Great River will be much safer, and for us, there will be no need to deploy heavy troops to defend them. Now, you can place most of your troops on the front line of Tiger Prison! Zhao Ji brought Chen Kang and other generals over to discuss action.

With Li Xin's personality, every time he carefully plans, it is impossible to only think of one place, let alone only think of the present. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of intelligence for so many people to discuss things together?

Therefore, Lu Hu's request for submission became an introduction. And under the trigger of this introduction, Li Xin and Liu Xiaohai formulated a big plan. Hanoi and Chi are one of the main targets, but Tiger Pass is also a one.

After all, Tiger Pass is not far from places such as Kei County in Hanoi County, and once the war starts, it is impossible not to take these surrounding places into account.

In particular, the Tiger Prison has an important position, and it has not been able to fight down before, and can only be passively defended. This is really unfavorable for the Tang army, especially the Tang army in Henan County.

Therefore, Li Xin intends to solve this problem once and for all this time. As long as the Tiger Prison Pass is taken, the security of Henan County will be greatly improved. At that time, the only passive defender can only be the Yan army in Xingyang County.

"We've been waiting for a long time, isn't it for today! Your Highness's side is going well now, and we can't embarrass Your Highness. This time, we must win the Tiger Prison Pass! Chen Kang glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice.

"Having said that, we still have to think of a way to see how we can take down the Tiger Prison. Although Huangfu Zhen led his army north, the local army did not take it away. Moreover, Sun Xi is sitting in Xingyang City, and he must be guarding against us from taking the opportunity to take the tiger prison. If this battle is played normally, I'm afraid it won't be easy to win! Zhao Ji nodded, but then frowned.

"I'll tell you the truth, I've been thinking about this since our attack on Tiger Prison was frustrated. A few days ago, I finally came up with a solution! Hearing this, Chen Kang suddenly said mysteriously.

"Oh? Tell me what you have planned! Everyone was curious and hurriedly asked.

"Come, come, come with your ears, and I'll tell you to listen to it!" Chen Kang saw that everyone was curious, smiled slightly, and signaled.

Everyone hurriedly gathered together, ready to hear what he had planned. After listening to it, everyone couldn't help but think about it.

"What General Chen said should be just right now. If it's a secret operation, I'm afraid it won't be a problem for us to win the Tiger Prison Pass! One of the generals agreed.

"Yes, the key is that the person who acts must be a true warrior. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be in vain! "The others didn't have any opinions, they just had some doubts about the course of action.

"Don't worry, since I've already thought about this plan, how can I not prepare in advance? Let's go ahead and prepare today, and we'll do it tomorrow night! Hearing this, Chen Kang hurriedly said.

"Okay, let's do it! I hope that this time I can live up to His Royal Highness's expectations and take down the Tiger Prison in one fell swoop! Zhao Ji immediately made a final decision.

In Xingyang County, Sun Xi has been staying in the Tiger Prison Pass for the past two days. Huangfu Zhen left Xingyang and handed over the responsibility of defending this place to himself, and he did not dare to ignore it for a moment. After inspecting it, I saw that the gate was heavily guarded and there were many soldiers, and I was somewhat relieved.

"In the past few days, has the Tang army on the opposite side attacked?" When he went down to the city, Sun Xi also asked the general guarding the pass beside him.

"It's business as usual, nothing has happened." The general hurriedly replied.

"Well, even so, you have to be careful. Now that the battle in the north is hot, it is impossible to say that the Tang army will attack the Tiger Prison Pass at this time. If we really lose the Tiger Prison, you and I can't afford to take this responsibility! Sun Xi nodded and instructed specially.

"Don't worry, my lord, the end will know!"

In June, the weather is hot, especially during the day, which is much longer. Even so, the sky gradually darkened, and eventually, the sky and the earth became dark.

The soldiers of the Yan Army on the Tiger Prison are patrolling as before. The Tang army stationed twenty miles away made them dare not relax for a moment, and every day they were worried about whether the opposite side would come over.

The tiger is firmly connected to Songyue in the south, and the Yellow River is connected in the north, and the city wall is tall and strong. This is also the Yan army's biggest reliance on the front line and the Tang army, on the tall city wall, the torches lit on the side of the city wall to illuminate the water surface of the Yellow River flowing by the city wall is quite clear.

The soldiers walked above the city, and after a few moments they would poke out from between the battlements of the walls and look out, scan the water, and see that there was nothing unusual, and then continue their patrols.

Although the Yellow River is said to be a natural hazard, if there is a boat, you can still come over. Therefore, the surface of the river has become one of the directions of surveillance. The Yan army was also afraid that the Tang army would not attack from the front, so they simply used small boats to bypass the tiger prison pass from the river to the back ~ attack.

In the middle of the night, a few miles away from the Tiger Prison Pass, some figures suddenly appeared in a hurry. After a closer look, I found that these people were all soldiers of the Tang Army. They did not light torches, but hurried towards the Tiger Prison in the dark of night by moonlight.

Under the cover of night, at a cursory glance, at least thousands of Tang troops with various siege equipment were quietly approaching the wall.

However, due to the tight guards on the wall, the Tang army was discovered by the Yan soldiers at the head of the city when it was still more than a mile away from the wall. At this time, the soldiers of the Tang Army did not seem to intend to hide any longer, and broke out with an earth-shattering roar of rage, and officially began to attack the Tiger Prison.

Sun Xi, who stayed overnight in the Tiger Prison Pass, originally thought that tonight should not change much from the past. But what I didn't expect was that I was awakened by the sound of the siege battle in my sleep.

"My lord, my lord, the Tang army is attacking in a big way, please make up your mind!" Sun Xi had just been woken up when someone banged on the door outside the door.

"What else do you think! Fight back, of course! The Tang army must not be allowed to attack, so the official will go to the city to supervise the battle. In addition, the other soldiers in the herald are ready to go to the city to support the substitutes! Sun Xi hurriedly got dressed and came out, and walked towards the city as he spoke.

"Yes, the last general will go and give the order!" The generals who came to ask for instructions hurriedly turned around and left after hearing this.

Sun Xi quickly climbed to the top of the city, stood between the battlements, and saw the light of the fire outside the city at a glance.

The shouts shook the sky, and one by one the Tang soldiers were constantly attacking the top of the city, and the wall was already killed from north to south.
