Chapter 54: The Success or Failure of Xiaoguan (2)

Duguxin walked with the sun on his back. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info He was also soaking wet, and the edge of his pocket was still dripping, falling on his white skin, and then sliding down.

Dugu Xin is a truly masculine beautiful man, heroic and martial, never feminine. Although it is a little too cautious, the more it is in such a critical situation, the more calm and calm it becomes.

Seeing Da Sima come over with a calm face, Sikong Li Bi walked to the prince's side.

Dugu Xin came closer. "The prime minister fought with Gao Cheng in the Forbidden Valley, and now he has been defeated. Taiwei Li is fighting fiercely with Hou Jing. I'm afraid that Murong Shaozong has already gone out of Tongguan, so it is better to use all his strength to strike a blow before he can draw his salary from the bottom of the kettle. Dugu Xin briefly said his thoughts.

According to Dugu Xin's meaning, it is to ignore the two Wei sides in the fierce battle for the time being, and use the most elite men and horses to intercept Murong Shaozong, eliminate this trouble, and take Tongguan back.

The truth is this. But the outcome is hard to predict, what if something goes wrong? The most feared thing is that Tongguan was not taken back, and the people and horses were damaged, and as a result, Prime Minister Yu Wentai blamed him for refusing to reinforce, who will take this responsibility? For a person like Dugu Xin, it is already the limit to be able to come up with such a desperate solution.

Yuan Qin didn't understand the truth of this, but he said almost without much thought, "Da Sima's plan is very good, and if the prime minister is here, he will definitely act like this." That's it. ”

Li Bi listened to the prince's orders, so naturally he couldn't refute it, and he originally felt that it should be like this. In the prince's heart, of course, the society is more important than the prime minister, which is understandable.

Hou Jing was really dumbfounded.

He didn't expect that reinforcements from the Western Wei Dynasty would come. Murong Shaozong did not come, and the Great Sima Duguxin and Sikong Li Bi of the Western Wei Dynasty came first.

Gao Cheng rushed out of the forbidden valley and went straight to Xiaoguan with Chen Yuankang. Seeing that Hou Jing was fighting with the Li Hu Department of the Western Wei Dynasty with tens of thousands of Eastern Wei troops who had not entered the Forbidden Valley, his heart finally settled down. It can be seen that Hou Jing used enough strength, and he really wanted to be able to put the Western Wei army to death in a battle.

Yuwentai, Yu Jin, and Zhao Gui, who were defeated in the Forbidden Valley, were all in the Western Wei army. Gao Cheng knew that success or failure was here, the Eastern Wei army was here, and the Western Wei was just a straggler, just taking advantage of the momentum of the victory just now to expand the victory just now.

The Western Wei army was originally a plan to lure the Eastern Wei army into the Forbidden Valley and attack with fire. Most of the troops of the Eastern Wei led by Hou Jingsuo did not enter the Forbidden Valley, and they had almost rested just now. On the contrary, the Western Wei army's plan to attack was unsuccessful, and the fierce battle in the valley suffered too much loss, and it became a defeat at this time.

At this time, the Western Wei army was not to mention winning, but it was difficult to save their lives.

Since Yuwentai ruled Guanzhong, established the country in the Western Wei Dynasty, and fought many times in Xiaoguan, Shayuan, and Heqiao, he has never been so embarrassed and depressed as he is today. At one point, he even thought he was going to die here today. Will he be able to go back to Chang'an? Isn't it ridiculous to compete with the Gao family?

As the sky darkened, Yu Wentai didn't know when the fight would come to an end, and he had no hope for the outcome. The horses neighed in his ears, and the swords and swords in front of him became unreal. He actually remembered the impassioned time when Zuo Cheng Su Sui debated with him in the middle of the night and talked about the way to govern the country.

He was also full of ambition. Did Su Sui misread him? There is also the eldest princess Yuan Yuying's ardent expectations for him when she left. She couldn't see his defeat today, and it was a blessing.

"Lord!" Zhao Gui's loud shout woke up Yu Wentai.

Zhao Gui saw that the prime minister was in a trance, and his heart was anxious. He deflected an arrow aimed at Yuwentai, trying to wake him up.

"My lord! General Sima Dugu has arrived! Yu Jin's shouting resounded in front of the battle. The crown prince and General Sikong Li came with Da Sima to rescue the lord! Yu Jin continued to shout, and at this time he no longer bothered to consider his words. He wanted to make the soldiers of the Western Wei Dynasty muster up courage, and even more so to cheer up Yuwentai's spirits.

"Prince?" Yu Wentai glanced at Yu Jin, and his big and dark eyes suddenly lit up like a flame, but at the same time they were full of gloomy hatred.

That's right, hate. It's just that no one notices at this time.

Yuwentai knows best that the most elite strength of the Western Wei Army is now in Dugu Xin's hands. He raised the sword in his hand and shouted, "Reinforcements have arrived, follow me to destroy the Eastern Thief and capture Gao Cheng!" ”

Gao Cheng's only thought at this time was to take advantage of this great opportunity to capture Yuwentai again. Tongguan is close at hand, Murong Shaozong has obtained Tongguan, and after Tongguan, he will step into the hinterland of Guanzhong, and Chang'an is close at hand. The empty capital was waiting for him to conquer.

If he can't set foot in Chang'an this time and capture Yuwentai and Yuanbao Torch alive, it will be a waste of this trip.

Gao Cheng was already covered in blood, killing countless people and no one could resist them, and the soldiers of the Western Wei Dynasty were already terrified of this great general of the Eastern Wei Dynasty.

In the melee, there were even bigger waves. The Western Wei reinforcements who rushed in the oblique stab changed the situation of the battle for a while, and the Western Wei army was about to turn around!

And at this time, Hou Jing's mind also changed.

According to Dugu Xin's intentions, the target was Murong Shaozong.

But things are very different from what was imagined. When I gathered and rushed to Tongguan, I realized that the small pass was far more serious than I imagined. Li Hu's men and horses suffered heavy losses and were almost wiped out. If you don't save it, even if Tongguan is captured, there will be no reinforcements, and it will be difficult to say what the situation will be.

If they are not saved, Prime Minister Yu Wentai, Zhu Guo's generals Yu Jin, Zhao Gui, Li Hu, Governor Li Mu and others will either be captured alive or killed in battle, and no one will be able to survive.

Whether Yuan Qin wants to or not, Dugu Xin can't take such a big risk.

Hou Jing saw that the battle situation had changed, and although Dugu Xin did not have as many people as him, he was the elite division of the Western Wei Dynasty. He suddenly worried, what would happen if Yuwentai turned defeat into victory?

As a result, the Western Wei army, which was almost defeated just now, gradually gained the upper hand again.

Gao Cheng is in a hurry.

Liu Taozhi saw the subtleties in the middle, and scolded Hou Jing angrily.

Chen Yuankang chased Gao Cheng in front of him, and while fighting against the enemy, he said loudly to Gao Cheng, "General, Dugu Xin's edge is showing, it is better to retreat first, and then fight when the time echoes with Murong Xingtai." ”

Chen Yuankang is indeed right, at this time, if you continue to fight hard, there may not be good results. Dugu Xin is at the peak of his edge, avoid him, and then choose the right time to best grasp the initiative.

"Where can I retreat?" Gao Cheng asked with a sword piercing the chest of a Western Wei general.

Hou Jing withdrew his forces at a critical moment, and Gao Cheng couldn't wait to kill Hou Jing at this time.

"Mu Zong Shaozong, this bastard, Tongguan is so close at hand, he is so indifferent, so stupid and confused, I misuse this person!" Gao Cheng scolded.

Gao Cheng also understands that Chen Yuankang said that it makes sense to retire temporarily, but where to retreat?

Hou Jing did not personally enter the battle array. He watched the battle from a small hill, like a general commanding a certain general. The hilly terrain was a little higher, and Hou Jing could clearly see the changes in the battle situation. Before Dugu's letter came, the Western Wei army was almost defeated. At that time, he also participated in it, looking forward to waiting for the end of this battle, and he would become a hero who personally braved the bow and arrows and personally pacified Xikou.

And when Dugu Xin led the Western Wei reinforcements to break through a corner, it was like a rainbow in an instant, and the overwhelmed Eastern Wei army was scattered and fled. Hou Jing slowly withdrew at this time. Dugu Xinzhi is good at fighting, he knows it in his heart. Besides, he had just fought with Li Hu, how could he withstand another Dugu Xin?

The sky is dark, the northwest wind is strong, and the hills are high, which makes people feel even more cold. The soldiers of the two Wei soldiers were tired and hungry at this time, and even Hou Jing, who was standing on the hills, was also hungry and cold.

"Lord Lang! Lord Lang! The bearded slave screamed and rushed up the hill.

House slaves have always been fond of fuss. Hou Jing is usually lenient and doesn't take it to heart. At this time, my heart was annoyed and confused, and I couldn't help but scold, "Minion! What is the matter with such a panic? ”

The henchman ran up the hill in three steps and two steps, approached Hou Jing's side, and was excited, "Lord Lang, the metropolitan governor is here!" ”

Hou Jing was suddenly startled, his face was full of confusion, and he asked suspiciously, "Which Grand Governor?" ”

At this time, the house slave didn't understand, and he didn't understand, "Gao Yue, the governor of the Southwest Province, brought troops to help." ”

"Gao Yue?!" Hou Jing blurted out.

Why did Gao Yue come? From Yangzhou to Xiaoguan, it came unexpectedly. He falsely passed the general's order to Gao Yue, and Gao Yue must have been angry and would not think it was true. In fact, Gao Cheng did not pass the order to Gao Yue, but he didn't expect Gao Yue to really come, and it was at this critical time.

Although Gao Yue is not as good as Dugu Xin, there is no doubt that he will inject great strength into the Eastern Wei army. It seems that the tide of the war is about to change again. Hou Jing didn't ask about Gao Yue again, but walked towards the bottom of the hill. Although the slave didn't know what the lord meant, he followed.

However, it was not Gao Yue who really caused a huge impact on the Western Wei army.

When Murong Shaozong finally came out of Tongguan to Xiaoguan, this elite rushed to kill, like a sharp sword, which could blow hair and cut iron like mud, and immediately split Duguxin's Western Wei army with the momentum of opening the sky.

I don't know who it is, and shouted loudly, "General Murong Shaozong of Daxingtai of Dawei West Road is here to capture Yuwen Black Otter!" "That's the case. In the melee, there was an uproar among the two Wei soldiers.

Murong Shaozong used a trick to make the prince Yuanqin and the great Sima Dugu Xinzhi run around, and took advantage of the situation to seize Tongguan from Sikong Li Bi, and did a good job, and everyone in the Western Wei Dynasty knew it. Unexpectedly, at this time, Murong Shaozong suddenly came out of the customs, it seems that there are no reinforcements from the Western Wei Dynasty, so that if Murong Shaozong wants to fight here, he must be determined to annihilate the Western Wei army. The panic of the Western Wei army at this time reached its peak when Gao Yue and Murong Shaozong led their troops before and after.

It was already dark, and the sparkling torches illuminated the countryside outside Xiaoguan as bright as day. As the strong northwest wind blew, the flames shook violently, but they were never extinguished. Outside the Forbidden Valley, outside the Xiaoguan Pass, this is a deserted place. There is Huayue in the south, and the Yellow River in the north, and whoever gets this place will get the key of the Three Qins.

Chen Yuankang and Liu Taozhi escorted the general Gao Cheng to rush through the chaotic army and stopped at a continuous hilly. Although the wind is slightly lighter here, and the view is very clear. Gao Cheng did not have torches around him, and with the torches on the battlefield, he could have a full view of the melee between the two Wei armies.

Gao Cheng sat on his horse and watched the battle, he was extremely focused, his eyes were all fixed on the formation, as if he was searching for some target, and he was ready to rush into it again at any time.

Liu Taozhi did not dismount, and sat with a sword behind Gao Cheng, his expression almost the same as Gao Cheng.

At the beginning, Chen Yuankang only looked around the formation, and when he saw that the situation had obviously taken a sharp turn, he was obviously slightly relieved. Facing the wind like a knife, he said to Gao Cheng, "General, as soon as Murong Xingtai comes out, Dugu Xin will definitely not be able to resist it, and Xikou will have no reinforcements to rely on." ”

Gao Cheng nodded, he also roughly thought in his heart, unless Wang Sizheng of Yubi abandoned at this time, but after all, Yubi is far away, and water can't quench his thirst for a while, presumably Wang Sizheng will not be so stupid. Besides, when the news of Tongguan reached Yubi, the success or failure here would have already been decided, and it would be useless for Wang Sizheng to come. Moreover, his father Gao Huan led the Jinyang army to hold on to Wang Sizheng, presumably Wang Sizheng did not dare to act rashly for a while.

The defenders of Wuguan and Shangluo were even more unable to move. And Wuguan and Shangluo are even farther. Waiting for the Great Wei army to rush through Tongguan, the only thing the Western Thieves could do was to recruit the whole country to protect Chang'an. Chang'an City was already an empty city without soldiers at this time, and Gao Cheng couldn't help but feel excited when he thought of this.

"General Gao Hongluo came in time, just to block Li Hu's reinforcements, presumably Yuwen Black Otter didn't expect it. It's all the clever layout of the general. Chen Yuankang felt that Gao Cheng used Gao Yue, which was really a wonderful move.

Chen Yuankang didn't say something explicitly, but Gao Cheng also saw it: because Gao Yue and Murong Shaozong came to help, Hou Jing's attitude changed subtly, and he invested a lot more than before. Looking at the soldiers of the Eastern Wei Army who were bravely rushing to kill, Gao Cheng held the hilt of the sword at his waist and smiled, "Brother Changyou, according to what you see, where is the Yuwen Black Otter now?" What is the situation? ”

Tong Guan was behind, and Yuwentai's side was also dark, and there were no torches.

A strong cold wind blew from behind him, and Yuwentai seemed to be unconscious. Chang'an now has no danger to defend, no power to rely on, if the Western Wei army can not withstand the Eastern Wei army at this time, the result is simply unimaginable. Yu Wentai is not thinking about the matter of the Heavenly Immortal Western Wei now, he is no longer in a trance, and puts all his energy on the battle array, watching the battle with great concern, thinking about how to deal with it.

Not far away, there was a sudden commotion, as if someone was in conflict. Could it be that the Eastern Wei army is coming closer?

Yuwentai ignored it. There was also Zhao Gui by his side, so he was naturally angry and walked away with his sword.

However, the riots did not stop, but became more chaotic.

A faint shout came, and the titles of "prince" and "prime minister" gradually became clear and audible.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here, who dares to be rude?!" A loud shout came.

I don't know who shouted this, maybe it was the personal guard next to the prince, but there was obviously impatience in his voice.

When Yu Wentai heard the words "His Royal Highness the Prince", he immediately turned around. No one in the darkness could see his eyebrows leaping faintly, and his gaze was extremely sharp.

Yuwentai didn't see clearly, there were many figures behind him, and the sound of horses' hooves sounded, it sounded like a team of people were coming, but in the darkness, he couldn't see anything clearly. (To be continued.) )
