More and more Yan soldiers rushed towards the gate, and the time was already at a critical moment. If it is impossible to open this gate before being surrounded by a large number of Yan troops to welcome the Tang army outside, this raid may be ineffective.

And if you want to use this method again in the future, it is almost impossible to take down the tiger prison. After all, the enemy cannot be fooled again and again.

"Open the gate at once, and welcome the generals and them into the gate! In addition, let everyone shout, just say that our army has landed outside the east gate and has already hit! Seeing that the situation was urgent, the general of the Tang Army hurriedly said to the people beside him.

Then, he led some of the soldiers towards the gate behind him. It was not easy to open the door, after all, to remove so many logs from the top of the door, and to remove the latches one by one.

And in this process, almost all of these soldiers who opened the door had their backs to the Yan army, which was the most dangerous and powerless time. Fortunately, there are still more people coming this time, and it can be divided into two parts at the same time.

When the Yan army heard this, they wanted to deal with the Tang army that had infiltrated the city. But Tang Jun also began to shout at this time, and the words they shouted were exactly what Yan Jun was most afraid of.

As soon as they heard that the Tang army had already reached the east gate, many Yan soldiers were frightened. Everyone knows that under this situation, the outside of the west gate has been a piece, and his only way of life is at the east gate.

If the east gate is also blocked, then these people will definitely have to die. What's more, everyone knows that the East City Gate is not closed, it is just open like that, if the Tang Army really kills it, it will be so convenient.

Thinking of this, many Yan soldiers were terrified, and under the low morale, where could they still take care of attacking the Tang army. There are many people who have begun to sneak away quietly when they see that the situation is not good.

In the midst of the great army, it is dark and difficult to discern, once such a situation occurs. Then, it will soon set off a chain reaction, especially if there is no good general to lead the bullet pressure.

It just so happened that Yan Jun at this time met these two conditions.

As a result, the pressure faced by the Tang soldiers who seized the door at this time was much lighter. The soldiers took the opportunity to pick up the shields discarded by the Yan soldiers from the side, forming a weak line of defense, blocking the Yan soldiers in front and buying time for the comrades who opened the door behind them.

"Release the arrows, release the arrows to me immediately, and they must not be allowed to open the closed door!" Sun Xi, who was above the city, had already run down at this time, and when he saw this situation, he was immediately angry.

Under his orders, the soldiers of the Yan army no longer engaged the Tang army at close range, but continued to fire arrows into the city gate.

These arrows were not only ordinary arrows, but also rockets, and in the face of this rain of arrows, the cave of the city gate was suddenly surrounded by flames.

The screams of the Tang soldiers resounded in it, and they were particularly infiltrating in this darkness. But at this time on the battlefield, either you die or I live, and no one has any mercy.

However, Sun Xi, who saw this scene, didn't feel anything to be happy about, because under his gaze, a gap finally appeared in the closing door. Then, under everyone's attention, the west gate of the Tiger Prison was opened, revealing the situation outside.

Outside the city, Zhao Ji and Chen Kang, who had been sitting on their horses to supervise the battle since the beginning of the attack, had been paying close attention to the situation at the gate. The battering ram struck several times in a row, but did not knock the gate open. And in this situation, the door suddenly opened slowly.

"Well, our brothers have it! Follow me in and take the Tiger Prison! Seeing this scene, Zhao Ji and Chen Kang glanced at each other, and then shouted excitedly.

As soon as the words fell, he had already slapped the back of his knife on the war horse, and the whole person immediately rushed towards the closing door.

"Kill!" The two thousand Tang troops, who had been waiting for a long time, broke out into a burst of enthusiastic cheers at this time, and rushed towards the pass behind Zhao Ji and Chen Kang with angry shouts in unison.

In the Guancheng, after the gate was opened, the faces of the Yan soldiers in the gate suddenly changed. I heard the thunderous shouts and killings outside, and saw the tide of Tang soldiers swarming in, and the morale collapsed.

Many of the soldiers did not think about it, so they dropped their weapons and turned around and ran towards the east.

"Come back, give me back, if anyone dares to escape, I will kill whoever comes!" When Sun Xi saw this scene, he knew that the general trend had gone, but he could only shout in vain.

After the army's morale was in turmoil and morale, no one could stop this defeat. Siege warfare has always been like this, as long as the city is broken, basically speaking, even if there is still a battle, it will not be able to recover. The peerless good general is still like this, let alone Sun Xi.

In the past few years, the soldiers of the Yan Army have lost every battle with the Tang Army, especially most of the soldiers in the Tiger Prison Pass, who were chased all the way from Luoyang by the Tang Army before.

Therefore, they were already frightened by the Tang Army, and they could fight with a strong wall to rely on, and once they lost this basis, they simply did not have the courage to confront the Tang Army again. Throughout history, situations like this seem to be not uncommon at all.

The most famous is probably the army that was driven away by a small number of enemies when resisting foreign invasions in later generations.

"Chase me, don't let one go! Also, send these brothers back at once, and tell the military doctors that they must be treated well! Chen Kang and Zhao Ji killed at the city gate, and when they saw the soldiers who seized the gate suffering heavy casualties, they couldn't help but be furious.

After the Tang army entered the city, they immediately began to chase and kill the surrounding Yan soldiers. At this time, the soldiers of the Yan Army had already fled one after another. Even Sun Xi himself, seeing that there was really no way, had to flee to the east under the escort of his own soldiers.

By the time dawn approached in the second half of the night, the enemy forces in the Tiger Prison Pass had been completely cleared, and the Tang army began to turn eastward and kill the Chenggao County not far beyond the Tiger Prison Pass. At this point, the Tiger Prison Pass, which had blocked the Tang Army for a long time, was finally taken down by the Tang Army.

Hearing that the army had broken through the Tiger Prison Pass, the Yan army and officials in Chenggao County did not have the determination to defend at all, and fled with the army overnight.

After all, because of the close proximity to the Tiger Prison. Therefore, in the past, the strategy of the Yan army was basically to focus on the tiger and ignore it.

There is no way, because the distance is too close, everyone knows that as long as the tiger prison is guarded, Chenggao County will not be in danger. This is especially true when the enemy is still in the west of Tiger Pass.

This has also led to the fact that in the past, Chenggao County has always existed as a place for logistical support in the Tiger Prison. In this way, if you want to block the Tang army with a small number of troops, it is simply impossible.

Therefore, Zhao Ji and Chen Kang led the army to chase all the way to Chenggao County, and easily took Chenggao County. However, they did not stay long in Chenggao County, and then continued to lead their army in pursuit to the east.

Halfway through, the scout who had been sent out first came back to report it.

"What's up ahead? Where is Yan Jun now? Zhao Ji asked.

"Qi Yu two generals, after the Yan army was defeated and retreated from the Tiger Prison Pass, they fled all the way to the east. After Sun Xi, the assassin of Yuzhou Prefecture of Yan State, led some of the remnants of the army to retreat to Xingyang County, he immediately stuck to the city and did not come out, and was strictly guarded! ”

"Xingyang County is the seat of Xingyang County, not to mention the high walls of the city, the most important thing is that the Yan army has stationed heavy troops there before, and it has always been the focus of its defense. If we want to lay down Xingyang County, I'm afraid it will not be an easy thing. Hearing this, Chen Kang said on the side.

"You're right! We can't fight with the Yan army for a long time now, otherwise, Murong Chui's side will definitely kill them immediately. In this way, I don't know when the war between us and Yan Guo will stop! His Royal Highness doesn't want to start a full-scale war with Yan State yet, so let us accept it when we see it before. Since Xingyang County is well defended, it is better for us to go south to attack Jingxian and Mi County! Zhao Ji thought for a moment and then proposed.

Jing County and Mi County are both subordinate counties of Xingyang County, and these two counties are the westernmost counties of Xingyang County, and their locations are close to the eastern foot of Songshan Mountain. Especially in the middle of these two counties, it is an important road from Xingyang County to Henan County.

As long as you pass through Yangcheng County, you can reach the south of Songshan, and after crossing the Yuyuan Pass, you can reach Luoyang.

This is exactly the path that Murong Chui took when he wanted to rescue Huangfu Zhen before, and it is precisely because of its importance that Zhao Ji wants to take it into his own hands.

Now that the Tiger Prison Pass has been taken, and after Jingxian and Mixian are also taken, they will be able to control these two passages from Xingyang to Luoyang.

However, because Jingxian and Mixian are far away from the rear, even after taking it, it is very likely to become an isolated city.

Unless, it is possible to take down Yangcheng County, which is now in the hands of the Jin army, in this way, it will be able to truly open up the connection between Henan County and the western part of Xingyang County.

But it is obvious that it is impossible for the Jin army to hand over Yangcheng County. After all, if they control this place, they also control a passage to the north. For Huan Wen, this also hides his ambition for Luoyang.

Therefore, even if it is an ally, it is impossible for the other side to give up such a strategic location.

"If we can't take Xingyang County, I'm afraid that even if Jing County and Mi County are taken, we won't be able to hold it! Jing County is better, after all, it is close to Chenggao County, and Mi County and other counties are too far away. I'm afraid I have to be cautious about this! Chen Kang thought about it for a long time before he said cautiously.
