The news that tens of thousands of troops of Dahua Kingdom left the Tiger Prison Pass and marched into Xingyang soon reached the ears of Dou Jiande, the generals, and Wenchen.

"What, the Chinese army dares to give up Xiongguan and can't wait to come to Xingyang?"

"This Chinese army is too arrogant, giving up its strengths, not using Xiongguan to block my Xia army, and even rushing to take the initiative to attack, it is too unreasonable to take our Xia army in my eyes."

"It's a good time, let's stick to Xingyang City and see if their tens of thousands of horses can conquer Xingyang!"

The general was angry, Wen Chen sneered, they all felt that the garrison of the Tiger Prison Pass was too arrogant this time, if they defended the Tiger Prison Pass, the remaining 80,000 Xia troops would really be able to successfully conquer the Xiongguan, but they took the initiative to crusade and fight on two fronts, who gave the Chinese army such courage?

Gao Junya said: "This is the Chinese army's bottom of the kettle, while sending troops to attack Liyang Cang, while coming to attack, it seems that we lost the rear granary, and the army's heart is floating, so the Chinese army dares to act so recklessly!" ”

Song Zhengben analyzed: "Hmph! There are still two months of food in the city of our army, which is enough to hold out for a period of time, and in these two months, the Chinese army has suffered heavy losses and will definitely retreat! ”

Cao Zhan said anxiously: "No, if we let the Chinese army besiege the city and cut off our granary, wouldn't it become more passive, and it will make the defenders in the city feel nervous and negative!" ”

At this time, Dou Jiande sneered and spoke: "Who said that I want to let the Chinese army come to besiege the city, according to the report of the spies, there are only five thousand cavalry, more than 40,000 infantry, the marching speed is very slow, these two or three hundred roads, I don't know how many days to get to the city, they have time, and our Xia army is short of food, a few days ago Chenggao outside the city was defeated, double blow, so that the army is unstable, there is not so much waiting time, just when the Chinese army comes, our army should also lead the troops to meet the battle, otherwise, in case the Chinese army goes to the way, wake up, and retreat back in the turtle, Then we won't have a chance, so I decided to select the elite, take the initiative, defeat this tens of thousands of Chinese troops head-on, and then take advantage of the victory to win the Tiger Prison Pass and rescue Luoyang! ”

When the ministers of civil and military affairs heard this, they also felt that it made a lot of sense. Because the Xia army is here to rescue Luoyang, so as not to lose its lips and teeth, the Chinese army can occupy the tiger prison and not shrink out, and delay time with the Xia army, but the Xia army has no room for maneuver, and it is unreliable, especially when the Liyang warehouse is lost and the rear grain road is cut off, for the sake of insurance, one is to withdraw the army, and the other is to attack immediately.

Could it be that the Chinese army is arrogant and left Xiongguan to attack, this is a good opportunity!

Su Dingfang hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the last general asks to be the vanguard and fight with the Chinese army!" ”

Dou Jiande glanced at Su Dingfang on the other hand, he had gradually matured and became the young tiger general of the Xia Kingdom, and nodded slightly.

"This time, General Su is the vanguard, leading 20,000 elite soldiers to lead the battle, I lead the Chinese army of 30,000, Fan Yuan is the general of the left road, leading 10,000 soldiers and horses, Cao Zhan is the general of the right road, leading the archer policy, and cooperating left and right!"

"Command!" The three generals took the order.

The next day, 70,000 Xia troops set out to defeat the Chinese army head-on, leaving less than 20,000 people to defend Xingyang City.

This battle is a matter of life and death, so Dou Jiande is very cautious, and has brought enough elite men and horses to destroy this Chinese army that does not know whether to live or die, and the lone army is deep in the first battle, and then take the Tiger Prison Pass with lightning speed.

"Boom!"

The soldiers and horses surged, the iron armor was strong, and the 70,000 army marched out of the city to intercept Dahua's army head-on. The horse's hooves trampled on the ground, dusty and murderous.

Two days later, the Xia army and the Chinese army finally met, near the ambush site of the Dahua strategy.

As the chief general of this Chinese army, Qu Tutong marched according to the formulated route, and deliberately slowed down the speed, slowed down the speed, and deliberately attracted the Xia army to take the initiative to intercept it, because the situation of the Xia army was passive, and it was no longer possible to wait, and it was more urgent to be able to fight in the wilderness, not relying on the danger of the river, and the advantage of the Xiongguan to contend with.

"Your Majesty anticipated the enemy's opportunity and strategized, and he had already predicted the psychology of Dou Jiande and the others, and calculated that they would inevitably fall for the scheme!" Qu Tutong sighed in his heart, seeing that the Xia army dispatched sixty or seventy thousand horses, and the elite was almost exhausted, he knew that this time the Xia army was going to be destroyed here.

At the beginning, the Xia army was launched 200,000, but unfortunately some were killed in the attack on Liyangcang, Xingyang, and Chenggao, and only 150,000 were left, but unfortunately the defenders of Liyangcang were destroyed, and this time 30,000 horses were sent back to rescue, and the soldiers and horses guarding Xingyang, so many soldiers and horses were all brought out, it is conceivable that once they were destroyed here, the vitality of the Xia State was greatly damaged, and it was almost the same as the death of the country.

"Your Majesty Xia Guo is going to report your name!" At this time, in order to boost the morale of the army, Su Dingfang sent someone to shout and warn the Chinese army that His Majesty Xia Guo was there in person to suppress the morale of the other party.

"It's really good that Dou Jiande is here in person." Qu Tutong's smile became even stronger, once this ambush battle was successful, he would directly capture the thief and capture the king.

"This general is Qu Tutong, and he is coming to conquer the Xia army, so he won't surrender soon!"

"Hmph, Hugh is arrogant, Dahua sent troops to the Central Plains, it is really a wolf's ambition, today I will break your estimate, and my Xia army will pass the tiger prison again and rescue the siege of the Eastern Capital!"

At this moment, the two armies are separated by three hundred paces, and the swords are tense, and they have all been arranged in formation, because the Chinese army has excellent armor, armor, cuirasses, weapons, and accessories, and looks more formal and sophisticated; And Xia Jun is like a copycat version. However, because the number of Xia troops seems to be larger, and there is Dou Jiande's personal expedition, the morale is not low, and the murderous spirit is dignified.

"Knock-knock-"

The dull and huge drum beat sounded in the Niukou depression, breaking the silence of the sky, and the 50,000 Chinese troops lined up in a neat array, forming a phalanx of fish scales.

50,000 soldiers, all in bright armor, solemn faces, swords, guns, swords, halberds, cold light shimmering, in the middle are the elite soldiers of the Chinese army, and in the front row are nearly 10,000 archers and crossbowmen.

On the right hand side is 5,000 cavalrymen, the sword in his hand Changge flashes a faint cold light, which is intimidating, and on the right hand side is the elite armor, heavy armor, spears and spears, which are the main force of the charge.

Qu Tutong felt that the time was almost up, sat on horseback, drew his long sword, looked ahead, and shouted: "Advance, prepare to meet the enemy!" ”

"Roar! Roar! Roar—"

The army of 50,000 soldiers marched forward, shouting a trumpet in their mouths, and the armor and blades rubbed against each other, making a sonorous sound like a hill.

Su Dingfang was twenty-three or four-year-old years old, dressed in chain mail, wearing a scarlet cloak, riding a black horse, holding an iron spear, the hero was young, quite heroic, at this time, as a vanguard general, responsible for the first wave of strong attacks, he saw that the other party moved, and immediately ordered 10,000 cavalry to start charging head-on!
