Tiger Prison Pass the city

The Metropolitan Governor Wei Yan inspected the city defense of Guanshang under the leadership of Guan Xing, Guan Suo, and Xu Yun. Wei Yan leaned on the city wall, looking at the terrain around the Tiger Prison Pass, only to see that this pass is connected to Songyue in the south, the Yellow River in the north, and the mountains are staggered, which is a natural danger. The two sides of the city pass are connected with the mountain range, majestic and majestic, look like a big mountain in the distance, it is very firm, and because it is the traffic artery of the Central Plains into Luo, it has always been a place where soldiers must fight.

Looking at such a majestic pass, Wei Yan couldn't help but be ambitious, and said with emotion: "The humane tiger prison is a one-man pass, and ten thousand people can't be opened, and it is really extraordinary when I see it today." I have followed the first emperor to conquer the world, and it has been 20 years, and all I wish is to pacify the rebels and restore the Han dynasty. Until today, I am fortunate to be able to come here, looking down on the Central Plains, and I will definitely show my ambitions! Guan Xing, Guan Suo, and Xu Yun on the side nodded when they heard it.

Guan Xing said with admiration: "The Metropolitan Governor is powerful in Zhenyu, and if the Wei army knows that the Metropolitan Governor is here, he will be terrified. With the presence of the metropolitan governor, the Tiger Prison Pass is the first male pass in the world, and the Wei army is sad even if it is winged! ”

Wei Yan stroked his beard and laughed: "General Guan has won the award, just now I inspected the city and saw that there were enough arrows and crossbows and wooden rolling stones, so I knew that General Guan defended the city well, and it was really a tiger father without a dog." I, Wei Yan, value heroes and heroes the most in my life, General Guan only needs to resist the enemy with me, and I will play the Son of Heaven to ask for credit for you one day! ”

When Guan Xing heard the great joy, he hurriedly knelt down and bowed, "Xie Dadu Governor Longen, even if the last general is broken, he will guard this pass!" ”

Wei Yan pulled Guan Xing up, nodded appreciatively, and looked into the distance again.

Mountains in the distance

Several pairs of eyes were also staring at the Tiger Prison Tower.

A young man at the head was magnificent, although his face was slightly sickly, but he couldn't stop the heroic aura emanating from his body. He looked at the Tiger Prison Pass in the distance, and sighed: "The Tiger Prison Pass is dangerous, the city is strong, and there is Wei Yan to defend it, it is really easy to defend and difficult to attack." ”

Behind the young man, stood several mighty men and a scholar dressed as a scholar. When the scholar heard the young man's words, he stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. The ministers heard the sage clouds, and the country was not at risk of mountains and rivers. Since ancient times, there has been no pass that cannot be broken, only generals who are not good enough to fight. The battle between the two armies is complicated, and the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, as long as the opportunity can be seized, a million enemy troops can collapse in an instant, not to mention a single pass? ”

It was Liu Ye, the military governor, who spoke, and the young man was naturally Emperor Cao Rui of Wei. It will take time for the army to prepare, Cao Rui can't wait, and he first led Liu Ye and other entourages to the military camp of the former army commanders Tian Yu and Zhu Ling. He also led everyone in disguise and went up the mountain to spy on the enemy camp. After all, it was his first time on the battlefield, Cao Rui looked at the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, imagining the situation when the ancestor Cao Cao led the troops to dominate the world, and couldn't help but be excited. However, when he saw the majesty of the Tiger Prison with his own eyes, he felt a little more worried in his heart.

Seeing Liu Ye come out to speak, Cao Rui heard that there was something in his words, and said with a smile: "The military advisor is clever, and he must have a good strategy to break the enemy." Don't talk about it, let me guess! ”

Cao Rui turned his back, paced back and forth and thought for a while, then suddenly turned around and smiled: "With such a strong pass, it is not easy for our army to attack strongly, but the enemy army can be lured out of the pass to annihilate." I remember that the military advisor once said that the Shu army will be proud and underestimate the enemy if it wins successive battles, and our army can send the old and weak army to pretend to attack the city and lure the enemy out of the city! ”

Liu Ye nodded with a smile and said, "Your Majesty is talented, but he only guessed half right. ”

Cao Rui was interested now, and stepped forward and asked, "How do you say this?" ”

Liu Ye smiled quietly: "I'm afraid that a group of old and weak soldiers won't be able to catch Wei Yan's big fish." Zhuge Liang doesn't know anyone, and the bait placed by the minister, the general Shu general is estimated not to take the bait, but Wei Yan will voluntarily bite the hook. ”

Cao Rui became more and more curious, Liu Ye whispered in his ear, only to see Cao Rui clapping his hands and laughing, shouting good plans, and the two of them went down the mountain hand in hand to arrange.

A few days later.

The tiger prison guards the general's house

When Wei Yanzheng and Guan Xingguan Suo and others were discussing the next move of the Wei army, they suddenly saw the guards outside the door rushing in and reporting: "Tell the Governor that the 20,000 horses of the Wei army are rapidly approaching the Tiger Prison Pass, preparing to attack the city!" ”

"Haha, it's just in time, I'm waiting for my hands to itch. Command all the armies to follow me to the castle tower immediately, and we must strike at this invading enemy!" Wei Yan was excited.

"The governor of the capital is slow, the last general has been guarding the tiger prison for a long time, and the Wei army has been invading in the future. Why did the Wei army dare to attack the city rashly within a few days of the Metropolitan Governor? According to the opinion of the last general, be careful of deception, or be cautious! Guan Xing stood up and clenched his fists and said.

When Wei Yan heard this, he said with displeasure on his face: "What does General Guan mean?" Do you want me to be afraid that the Wei army will not succeed, and the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and there are only 20,000 Wei troops, what can I do? If General Guan is timid, he can stay in the mansion and watch me break the enemy! ”

Guan Xing's face flushed with anger when he heard this, and he said angrily: "Where is the governor of Dadu, the last general is willing to go with the governor of Dadu and swear to kill the Wei thief!" ”

Wei Yan snorted and rushed out of the Guard's Mansion without looking back.

Tiger Prison is upstairs in the city

The 20,000 Wei troops were lining up in several phalanxes, carefully holding shields, carrying long ladders, and pushing carts to slowly approach the city tower. Wei Yan immediately made arrangements, ordering the armor soldiers and crossbowmen of each battlement to line up in front and back, keeping a distance between them, and preparing wood and rolling stones on the side; He also ordered Guan Xing and Guan Suo to lead 1,000 crossbowmen each, deploy on both sides of the city tower, and shoot the enemy close to the city. Then he ordered the former guards to clear the passage so that arrows, rolling stones, etc. could be transported quickly.

When the first phalanx of the Wei army had just reached a hundred steps from the city, Wei Yan waved his arms violently and beat the war drums himself. With the sudden sound of drums, thousands of crossbowmen bent their bows and shot vigorously, and thousands of arrows flew towards the Wei army with a sharp sound. Before the Wei army could react, the dense arrows smashed head-on like hailstones, piercing the throats of many Wei troops. The Wei army raised their shields one after another, but the density of arrows was too high, and Guan Xing and Guan Suo on both sides continued to shoot arrows. A small number of Wei troops who broke through to the city were about to set up a ladder, but in a blink of an eye, they were crushed to death by the rolling stones and trees pouring down from the city tower......

In just half a day's effort, the Wei army attacked the city dozens of times, suffered a great loss of morale, and began to retreat like a tide, leaving three or four thousand corpses of the Wei army under the Tiger Prison. The corpses and blood of Wei Bing, under the sunlight, diffused a strong smell of blood.

"It's really too enjoyable, Dadu Governor, the Wei army is retreating, let's go out of the city to chase it, we will definitely be able to expand the results!" The two generals ran excitedly to ask Wei Yan for instructions.

Wei Yan looked into the distance, smiled slightly, and said confidently: "The art of war, don't chase after the poor." Moreover, the main purpose of our army was to hold the Tiger Pass, and the Wei army deliberately retreated to lure me out of the city. How can you hide it from me? We just have to wait here for the Wei army to attack and kill as many as we want. Order, Mingjin to withdraw troops, strengthen the city defense. Those who dare to go out of the city to pursue, slash! ”

The two were dismissed by Wei Yan, both ashamed and admired, so they were ordered to inspect the city defense.

A few more days passed.

Naturally, the last siege failed, and the Wei army did not move, and the persistence for days made Wei Yan gradually depressed. On this day, he was playing chess with Guan Xing in the mansion, and the former guard Xu Yun was guarding on the side. Suddenly, General Guan Suo of Anxi hurriedly ran to pay a visit: "Governor of Qiyu, the last general led a few sentry cavalry to explore the camp today, and found that all units of the Wei army were retreating in an orderly manner!" ”

"Retirement? Presumably, the Wei army suffered from the siege of the city a while ago, knowing that with the presence of the metropolitan governor, it was difficult to overcome the Tiger Prison Pass. Haha, congratulations to the Metropolitan Governor, let the millions of Wei troops retreat without a fight, but the prime minister has a big problem! Guan Xing said excitedly.

"Hahaha, what's so difficult about this, I'm just trying my fingertips. If Cheng had listened to my plan for a long time, he would have ...... long ago", Wei Yan suddenly noticed that Guan Suo seemed to be unfinished, so he asked, "General Guan, but there is still something to say?" ”

Guan Suo came up and bowed, and said: "Exactly, the last general then followed the traces of the Wei army's chariots and horses all the way, and found that the troops behind the Wei army's palace had set up a yellow daxu!" ”

Wei Yan chuckled in his heart, stood up suddenly, stared at Guan Suo, and said solemnly, "Really? Do you see clearly? ”

Guan Suo replied with a firm gaze: "The last general has confirmed again and again, it is indeed a yellow Daxu. Although there are not many soldiers and horses in the entourage, they are all wearing black armor and wearing iron covers, and they are very elite! The last general didn't dare to delay, so he hurried back to tell the governor! ”

Wei Yan turned around and paced back and forth thinking, yellow, Da Xu, everyone understands, it means that there must be Emperor Wei Cao Rui in the army! The one with the black armor and iron cover must be the Tiger Ben sergeant, that's right, it must be Cao Rui! As soon as he thought of this, Wei Yan's heart began to beat feverishly. Cao Rui must have seen that the Wei army's siege was unfavorable and morale was low, so he retreated and avoided the edge for the time being. And because he was young and vigorous, he expected that our army would not dare to go out of the city to pursue, so he personally returned to the palace. Wei Yan thought to himself that once Cao Rui could be captured, the Wei army would definitely be in chaos, and if the siege of Luoyang was relieved, the Central Plains might be able to settle without a fight. Wei Yan seemed to see that he captured Cao Rui, was named the first hero of the Han Dynasty by Liu Chan, jumped above Zhuge Liang, and worshiped everyone in the court, no longer had to look at Zhuge Liang's face, it was refreshing to think about. But if this is a trick to lure the enemy.......

Wei couldn't stop walking back and forth, and Guan Xing and Guan Suo on the side were also anxious. In the end, the desire for victory overcame reason, Wei Yan pulled out his sword fiercely, and thought to himself, Cao Rui, Cao Rui, this is what you sent to the door yourself, no wonder I, Wei Yan. Then he raised his sword and shouted, "The time has come for the generals to listen to the order!" Immediately gather your troops and horses, follow me to kill Cao Wei's rear army, and capture Cao Rui alive! ”

Guan Xing on the side hurriedly stopped Wei Yan and said: "Most of the governors are slow, at this moment, the Wei army is afraid that it has gone far, and it is not appropriate to pursue it rashly." ”

Wei Yan heard it and said sharply: "Then start chasing me now!" Day and night! In a few days, we will definitely be able to catch up with Wei. The Wei army expected that we would not dare to go out of the city, and we would be defenseless, but it would be decided in a battle! ”

Guan Xing saw that Wei Yan had paid attention, so he had no choice but to pounce on his knees and beg: "Think twice, Prime Minister Zhuge has repeatedly told you that you can only hold on no matter what, you can't go out of the city to pursue, we can't disobey the prime minister's orders." If the enemy army cheats, won't the gains outweigh the losses? Our army only needs to hold the Tiger Prison Pass and wait for the prime minister to come ......"

"Enough!" Wei Yan interrupted Xu Yun quite impatiently, it was good not to mention Zhuge Liang, and the mention of Zhuge Liang at this moment made Wei Yan's resentment for many years explode. "Don't use the prime minister to pressure me, if Zhuge Liang really knows everything like a god, he should have listened to my plan and let me lead the troops from the Meridian Valley to Chang'an, otherwise I wouldn't have wasted so many years in vain! Now that a golden opportunity is in front of him, Zhuge Liang is hundreds of miles away, how can he know? The so-called generals are outside, and the king's order is not subject to it, not to mention that it is only Zhuge Liang's order. I am here, I am the general, my command, I am the general! ”

The more Wei Yan spoke, the more angry he became, and he looked at Guan Xing contemptuously and said: "I originally thought that General Guan was a hero, but now it seems that he is just an ordinary man who obeys Zhuge Liang's orders. If you don't want to go, you can stay, and I don't need your help, just lead the 15,000 horses I brought. You just wait for your prime minister on the castle tower, and I will not be ashamed to come back to see you!" After that, he turned around and went out of the city without looking back, Guan Suo wanted to say something, but he had no choice but to follow Wei Yan out of the city. Guan Xing couldn't stop him, so he could only beat his chest and stomp his feet angrily, returned to the mansion, and ordered to clean up the people and horses and tighten the city defense, while making people fly quickly to Zhuge Liang.

......

After half a day of rapid marching, Wei Yan finally led his army to catch up with the rear of the Wei army in a col surrounded by hills.

To his surprise, although the Wei army retreated, it did not show weakness, but looked energetic, as if waiting for him. Although the men and horses were tired after chasing for a day, Wei Yan hesitated for a moment and gave the order to attack.

Don't say anything, let's do it!

General Wei on the opposite side looked at the Shu army that was surging like a tide and smiled lightly.

I've been waiting for you for a long time, come on!

Wei Yan had just led his troops to rush to the front of the battle when he suddenly heard a shout from behind. On the hills and dense forests in the east, west and south, the war drums sounded in unison, Tian Yu, Zhu Ling and other leading troops killed from three sides, plus the frontal soldiers, 40,000 Wei troops surrounded on all sides, and more than 10,000 Shu troops were tightly besieged in the mountain col. Cao Shuang, Cao Zhao, Liu Ye and others protected Cao Rui and slowly came to the front of the formation.

At this time, Wei Yanfang knew that he had fallen into the trap of the enemy, and fell into the encirclement of the Wei army, and it was too late to retreat. However, he was still not afraid, stared at his two blood-red eyes, and roared loudly: "Listen to the army, don't panic, now that you are surrounded, you can only survive by fighting to the death with all your might, follow me back to the Tiger Prison!" After that, he danced the cold silver gun in his hand, urged the BMW under his crotch, and fought with Tian Yu and Zhu Ling. However, the more than 10,000 soldiers and horses of the Shu army who fell into the encirclement were the opponents of Tian Yu and Zhu Ling's Youhe Raid. There are also many Wuhuan and Xianbei riders in the Youhe Assault Cavalry, all of which are brave and good at shooting. The Shu army had never encountered such a strong opponent before, coupled with the lack of troops, the men and horses were tired, and they gradually could not resist the siege, and they had already suffered more than half of the casualties, and the relationship was also wounded in many places, and they were still fighting.

Cao Rui looked at Wei Yan, who was extremely brave in the formation, and couldn't stop nodding and praised: "Is this person Wei Yan?" It's really a fierce general, but it's a pity that it's not owned by my Great Wei. In the past, Zhuge Liang designed to harm Zhong Da and cut off one of his arms, and today I am determined to pay for the blood debt and kill Wei Yan to sacrifice Zhong Da's spirit in the sky. Pass the order, shoot Wei Yan, don't let anyone go! ”

With Cao Rui's order, the Wei army's offensive became more urgent, and Wei Yan rushed left and right, fighting to the death. Seeing that more than 10,000 Shu troops were about to be wiped out, they suddenly saw a loud shout from the rear of the Wei army, and a Biao army entered, but it was Guan Xing who led the troops to rescue.

It turned out that Guan Xing had been restless since Wei Yan left, and he was always looking at the city, and suddenly saw wolf smoke in the distance, and there was a faint sound of shouting and killing. Guan Xing was shocked, afraid that Wei Yan had already fallen into the plan, and hurriedly wanted to lead the troops to rescue, but the former protector Xu Yun hurriedly stopped and said: "The metropolitan governor transferred half of the people in the city, and at this moment, the city air defense is weak, and the general is responsible for defending the city, how can he leave?" Besides, a few days ago, the governor insulted the general, this time the plan is to blame, for public and private, the general can't go out of the city! ”

Guan Xing scolded angrily: "Shut up! Don't criticize the Governor! The Metropolitan Governor is fighting bloodily on the front line at the moment, how can I see death and not save me? If the governor of the capital is lost, I will also be guilty of capital crimes, what face will I see again! ”

Xu Yun cried and said: "The auspicious and evil ahead is uncertain, the general is afraid that he will not be able to save the metropolitan governor if he goes, and he will never return, why did he send the dangerous general to death?" ”

Guan Xing sighed: "I have been in Shu for several years, and I know that although the first emperor and the prime minister have not blamed, the defeat of the former father Jingzhou has indeed caused a heavy blow to the foundation of the revival of the Han Dynasty. For several years, I have been sleeping at night, studying military books hard, and working hard to be strong, just so that I can reproduce the authority of my father and wash away the humiliation of Jingzhou one day. Now that the prime minister has handed over such an important pass to me among the generals, the grace of knowing is not enough to repay it! If I go to the rescue of the Metropolitan Governor, join forces in one place, and retreat to the Tiger Prison Pass, there is still a glimmer of life. Otherwise, most of the governors will be lost, and our soldiers and horses will definitely not be able to hold the Tiger Pass. For today's plan, there is only one desperate fight! Xu Yun listened to the order, I led 4,000 soldiers and horses to meet the governor of the capital, you led the remaining 1,000 soldiers and horses to defend the city, no one is allowed to leave the city without my order! Violators will be killed! "After that, Guan Xing led the troops out of the city and went away.

Wei Yan was fighting, and suddenly saw a burst of harassment in the rear of the Wei army, and a team of men and horses inserted into the torrent of the Wei army like a wedge, and forcibly opened a gap. When I got closer, it was actually the military uniform of the Shu army, and the leader was Guan Xing. Wei Yan was deeply ashamed, and shouted on the horse: "General Guan, I regret not accepting your advice and falling for the trick by mistake. The general ignored his previous suspicions and led the troops to rescue, which really made Wei Yan ashamed! ”

Guan Xing immediately shouted: "The Metropolitan Governor is the pillar of the country, don't be discouraged and weaken the morale of our army, now the plan, quickly join forces to kill back to the Tiger Prison Pass and stick to it!" Wei Yan nodded yes, and Guan Xing turned around and went to save Guan Suo again.

Guan Suo's side is not optimistic, although he is extremely brave, but after all, his two fists are difficult to beat four hands, and he has hung colors in many places. Seeing Guan Xing rushing into the battle to rescue, Guan Suo was overjoyed, but he was a little distracted, and Yi Wei would slash from behind, and Guan Suo fell off the horse. "Third brother!" Guan Xing hurriedly red-eyed, jumped off the horse, stabbed General Wei to death with a shot, and hurriedly picked up Guan Suo to see. I saw that Guan Suo's back was injured, bleeding nonstop, and he was unconscious. Guan Xing hurriedly put Guan Suo back on his horse, and fought his way out of the encirclement to join Wei Yan.

Seeing that there was a rescue soldier suddenly, Wei Yan was about to escape, Cao Rui couldn't help but be anxious, and hurriedly asked Liu Ye, the military advisor who was planning on the side, but Liu Ye smiled unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, it's this reinforcement that the minister is waiting for!" After that, he turned to Cao Shuang on the side and smiled, and said, "General Cao, it's time for the tiger and leopard to ride out!" Cao Shuang looked at Cao Rui, Cao Rui nodded, Cao Shuang waved his hand, and thousands of black-clothed and black-armored cavalry with iron covers quickly formed a battle line, without any hesitation, like a black torrent rushed towards the Shu army.

Guan Xing saw that the Wei army was menacing, and shouted: "Dadu Governor, take Guan Suo and go first, I will break it here!" ”

Wei Yan was furious: "Let's go together!" I, Wei Yan, am greedy for life and afraid of death, how can I leave General Guan alone to die! ”

Seeing this, Guan Xing hurriedly pulled out his sword, crossed his neck and shouted: "If you don't leave at this moment, no one can leave, the three armies can do without me Guan Xing, and you can't do without the Metropolitan Governor." If the Metropolitan Governor insists on not leaving, the last general will die in front of him first! ”

Wei Yan looked at Guan Suo, who was unconscious, and the few soldiers left around him, gritted his teeth, glanced at Guan Xing, and turned around to leave. Suddenly, I heard Guan Xing shouting behind him: "Metropolitan Governor, please stay!" Wei Yan turned around in surprise, thinking that Guan Xing had repented and wanted to evacuate together. I saw Guan Xing smiling at Wei Yan immediately: "Please tell the Metropolitan Governor Guan Suo, the honor and disgrace of Guan Shiyi, in the future, it will depend on him." ”

Wei Yan was shocked in his heart, and said with tears in his eyes: "General Guan....... Take care! With that, he turned around and broke out.

Guan Xing looked at Wei Yan, who had broken through, breathed a sigh of relief, turned to look at the sky, closed his eyes and said, "Prime Minister, Guan Xing has a heavy trust, and today he will die brightly!" With that, he opened his eyes, his eyes widened angrily, and he shouted to lead his troops to rush towards the black torrent of Wei army, drowning in a bloody light......

Seeing the situation, the Wei army launched a full-scale counterattack, and tens of thousands of iron horsemen followed closely behind Wei Yan, especially the black torrent that rushed to the front and rear, making a terrifying roar like a group of fierce beasts, and the shocked Shu army was even more frightened. Wei Yan led the remnants of the army to rush to the Tiger Prison Pass, the Wei army followed, the Shu army in the city did not dare to shoot arrows for fear of accidentally injuring Wei Yan, and it was too late to put away the suspension bridge, so the Wei army swarmed into the pass, and quickly controlled the checkpoint tower. Wei Yan saw that the city pass had been lost, and he didn't dare to stay, so he led the remnants of the defeated army to flee to Luoyang. After the Wei army occupied Chengguan, they did not send troops to chase after them.

The tiger is the first male pass in the world, the tiger prison pass, which fell in less than a month, and what awaits Zhuge Liang is the unprecedented crisis that really comes.
