The reason is that they were very pleasantly surprised to learn that Dou Jiande had once again sent additional troops to the Linfen battlefield, and the previous super capable Dou Jiande army Wang Fubao had to obey the command of Cao Dan, the commander of this new reinforcement army!

"Is the sky going to kill our army?!" This is the lament of Wang Fubao himself after learning about this, and he was sullen about it, and he did not smile all day.

Wang Fubao is so pessimistic, of course, it is not without reason, in fact, with the stalemate of the Linfen war, as well as the growing greed of the Li brothers, the contradiction between Wang Fubao and the Li brothers has become more and more acute, and the interests are getting bigger and bigger. and repeatedly refused the Li brothers' bribery, and the Li family brothers, who hated it so much, haven't strangled Wang Fubao to death until now, but they just don't dare to tear their faces with Wang Fubao for the time being.

And on the first day after receiving the news of Cao Dan's troops, Wang Fubao also had a very serious unpleasantness with the Taiyuan army, because Wang Fubao was in Xiangling, and found that the Taiping Pass garrison south of Linfen was not very strong, and there was a certain hope of taking it head-on, and at the same time, the Sui army Fang Huang Department stationed in Jiangjun had to use a large number of troops to prevent Hanoi's Huahe brother, and could not use all his forces to defend the northern line, so he proposed that the self-army be responsible for monitoring the Linfen Sui army, and let the Taiyuan army Yin Kaishan go south to attack Taiping Pass, and if it succeeded, The Dou-Li coalition army can take the opportunity to attack Taiping County to obtain money and food supplies, and the retreat can delay the northward speed of the main force of the Sui army, and win time for the Dou-Li coalition army in the hinterland of Linfen.

The Taiyuan army will only fight Taiping Pass if it is stupid! Not to mention that the Sui army of Jiangjun has already been in the Taiping Pass, and the attack is not very sure, even if the Taiyuan army can win the Taiping Pass, it is just to stretch the already very long front of the army again, and it is cheap Wang Fubao stationed in Xiangling in vain, when the main force of the Sui army is killed from the south, Wang Fubao can calmly return to Yueyang to protect himself, but the Taiyuan army stationed in Taiping Pass has to be attacked by the main force of the Sui army and the Linfen Sui army, and the slightest carelessness is the end of the whole army! When did the Taiyuan army do such a stupid thing?

Therefore, Yin Kaishan did not ask the Li brothers to reject Wang Fubao's suggestion quite angrily, and in turn asked Wang Fubao to knock Linfen City head-on, Wang Fubao also categorically refused, and directly told Yin Kaishan, saying that the Taiyuan army would not fight Taiping Pass by itself, and immediately sent his deputy Dong Kangmai to lead the army of 4,000 south to attack Taiping Pass, Yin Kaishan reported the news to the Li family brothers, and the Li family brothers were also so angry that they flipped the table, scolding Wang Fubao for not being moral enough, and only wanting to take advantage of half of the loss and not wanting to suffer! - Although the Li brothers also know very well that Wang Fubao sent troops to attack Taiping Pass on his own, he could also win time for their partial division Yin Kaishan.

But fortunately, it didn't take long to receive the good news of Cao Dan's dispatch of troops as soon as he lifted the table, and the Li brothers naturally turned their anger into joy immediately, and then the Li brothers didn't even blink their eyelids, and immediately sent Ren Bi to go east with a heavy gift to meet Cao Dan's brother-in-law Cao, while pulling the relationship to make friends, while complaining to Cao Dan, begging Cao's brother-in-law to give an order to Wang Fubao in the honor of the commander of the western expeditionary army, forcing Wang Fubao to withdraw the soldiers and horses that attacked Taiping Pass, and concentrate on attacking Linfen City.

Our brother-in-law Cao is also a very powerful brother-in-law, he received a heavy gift from Ren Pi with a smile on his face, and Cao's brother-in-law, who was still on the way to the west, didn't even blink an eyelid, and immediately gave Wang Fubao an order, ordering Wang Fubao to immediately withdraw the army attacking Taiping Pass, immediately march into attack Linfen City, and sweep away the outer fortifications of Linfen City, so that Cao's brother-in-law can immediately find the siege when he arrives at the battlefield.

Cao's brother-in-law's order was sent to Xiangling City on April 11, and it was drizzling that day, and Wang Fubao also stood in a drizzle for more than half an hour, and then sent someone to buy an order for Dong Kang with a hoarse voice, ordering him to return to the division immediately to join him, and at the same time ordered the army to prepare to set off and move to Linfen to prepare for the siege.

In this regard, Yin Kaishan, who was stationed in Xiangling with Wang Fubao, was of course overjoyed, but Dong Kangmai, who had already prepared the offensive weapon, was confused, and repeatedly asked Wang Fubao's herald messenger, "Are you sure you didn't pass on the wrong order?" The terrain in this area of Taiping Pass is flat and conducive to attacking, if we knock head-on, there is hope to win this pass? Could it be that Wang Fubao is afraid that my meritorious service will steal his limelight, and he doesn't seem to have such a problem except for being disgusting? ”

The Sui army is also confused and inexplicable, in view of the terrain of Taiping Pass is not very conducive to long-term holding, and at the same time does not dare to draw too many troops to the north, in fact, the Sui army Jiangjun guard Fang Huang has already sent a secret order to the Taiping Pass defenders, so that the Taiping Pass defenders will abandon the pass and retreat to Taiping County when the situation is not right, and give priority to the city and give up the pass, but the Dou Jiande army, which has been preparing to tackle the key problems, suddenly retreated, Fang Huang and the Taiping Pass defenders even broke their heads and couldn't understand what medicine was sold in Wang Fubao's gourd.

Even more confused is Qin Qiong, Huo Shiju and Wei Ziqi and others in Linfen City, as early as when the main force of the Taiyuan Army went south to arrive in the Bird Mouse Valley, in order to prevent any eventuality, Huo Shiju and Wei Ziqi had already made every effort to repair the fortifications of the city at the request of Liu Heimin, and to protect the mountains of grain and grass in the city. And now that the main force of the Sui army may send troops north at any time, Wang Fubao actually came to attack Linfen City again, if the casualties in the attack are too large, what else will Wang Fubao do to resist the counterattack of the main force of the Sui army?

Confused, Qin Qiong, Huo Shiju and others also misunderstood Wang Fubao for a while, thinking that Wang Fubao must have won two battles by luck in the field battle, so they didn't take the Sui army in their eyes, and felt that the Linfen Sui army could be broken in just such a battle. In this regard, Qin Qiong and the others also gritted their teeth and said: "Piff! How dare you despise us so much! Our army is only unwilling to fight you in an all-out decisive battle for the sake of grain and grass and military needs, since you yourself are going to seek death, then we will fulfill you! We'll see in the battle to defend the city! ”

With the protection of peripheral fortifications such as trenches, fences, antlers and sheep and horse walls, Qin Qiong, who was determined to take revenge, commanded the Sui army to rely on the fortifications to resist stubbornly, fought flexibly, and matched the weapons from near and far. None of the soldiers of the Dou-Li coalition were able to break through the moat of Linfen.

Seeing that the Sui army dared to go out of the city and rely on the fortifications to fight on the first day of the battle, Wang Fubao expected that the Sui army would inevitably go out of the city the next day, so he selected a hundred elite warriors and ordered them to lurk under the city of Linfen at night, and lay in ambush in the trenches of the outer fortifications of the Sui army under the cover of corpses, mud, trenches and siege weapon wreckage.

The Sui army was really deceived, unwilling to let Qin Qiong's unique beauty Huo Shiju send his subordinate Pei Hailiang to lead an army of 1,000 out of the city, following Qin Qiong's relying on the fortifications to fight, who knew that the Sui army had just arrived at the periphery of the fortifications, Wang Fubao's ambush soldiers suddenly burst out and killed Pei Hailiang on the spot, the Sui army was defeated in chaos, Wang Fubao took the opportunity to wave the army to cover the killing, and smashed the Sui army's three antler trench defense lines outside the moat in one fell swoop. Many of the officers and men of the Sui army who did not return to the city were killed, and more than 80 were captured.

After capturing more than 80 Sui prisoners, Wang Fubao just confiscated their weapons and armor, and released them back to the city on the spot, and asked them to bring Pei Hailiang's body back to the city, and let these Sui army prisoners act as free propagandists, saying that as long as the Sui army soldiers surrendered on the battlefield, the self-army would not kill them and would all be released on the spot, so as to hit the Linfen Sui army's determination to resist. Huo Shiju, Qin Qiong and others scolded Wang Fubao for being despicable, but they also inevitably admired Wang Fubao's courage and courage.

Wang Fubao's glory ends here, even if he successfully destroys the Sui army's peripheral fortifications outside the moat, the deep and wide moat and the towering city wall will always be a nightmare for the siege army, even if Wang Fubao follows Dou Jiande all the year round to eat by attacking the city and plundering the land, and has rich experience in siege warfare, it will not play much role. Huo Shiju, who is not a famous general, is a decent qualified general, Qin Qiong, who became famous in later generations, suffered losses in front of Wang Fubao one after another because of the light enemy and lack of strength, and he is still a brave general who dares to fight and dare to rush, especially good at fighting tough battles, in the face of such an enemy and extremely unfavorable terrain, Wang Fubao no longer has any chance of opportunism and surprise victory, he can only honestly fill the river with a shrimp toad cart, and bombard the defenders with trebuchets.

What's worse is that when Wang Fubao led his generals to fill in a section of the moat with hard work, on April 18, Cao's brother-in-law also came to the Linfen battlefield with the rear army, and after meeting with the former army, Cao's brother-in-law first thing was to seize most of Wang Fubao's military power, show Dou Jiande's warrant to let Dong Kangmai and other generals directly obey him, appoint Wang Fubao as the vanguard, in fact, only let Wang Fubao command more than 2,000 troops, and also put his brother-in-law into Wang Fubao's camp as a supervisor, Closely monitor Wang Fubao's every move.

Dong Kangmai and other subordinates were temporarily obeyed by Wang Fubao, Dou Jiande asked Cao's brother-in-law to take back the military power, Wang Fubao could bear it, Cao's brother-in-law appeared in the camp with several beauties with Taiyuan accents, Wang Fubao could also pretend not to speak, but Cao's brother-in-law asked to launch an ant-attached siege the next day, Wang Fubao couldn't bear it anyway, and protested: "Cao Dashuai, our army has just filled in the moat of less than ten zhang, and it is difficult for the siege weapons such as ladder vehicles and city vehicles to get close to Linfen City. It's a child's play with the lives of soldiers! ”

"Without ladder trucks and storming trucks, can't we attack the city?" Brother-in-law Cao sneered and asked, "When General Wang, when you attacked Changle City in Xindu County, not only did you not have time to fill the moat, but there were only a dozen or so flying ladders, didn't you still take Changle City?" It's okay to play Changle, why can't you play Linfen? ”

"The battle of Changle was because the enemy still had time to be tightly armed, and even the defenders had not yet had time to all of them to enter the city." Wang Fubao explained: "I saw an opportunity, so I took the risk to attack, and I was lucky to take Changle City." Now the Chen thief army has been tightly deployed in Linfen, and the army is guarding the city wall day and night, it is impossible to win by surprise, only step by step, first completely open the road of our army's siege weapons to the city, destroy the enemy's antlers and sheep and horse walls on the inner side of the moat, and then we will launch a frontal attack, only then can we hope to break the city! ”

With a bang, Uncle Cao slapped the table in front of him with a heavy slap, and roared: "Step by step? Do we still have time? The main force of the Chen thief may send troops to Linfen at any time, and it is possible to send reinforcements to the north first, how much time do we have to prepare for the siege? Besides, if it weren't for your resistance to Wang Jun's decree, wouldn't we have completely filled in the Linfen moat? Do you have to wait until now? ”

roaring, Cao's brother-in-law slapped the table in front of him again, and roared angrily: "Tomorrow the ants will attack the city!" This is a military order, and those who violate the order will be immediately punished! ”

Helplessly lowered his head, unable to withstand the repeated persecution of Cao's brother-in-law, Wang Fubao could only obediently clench his fists and take his orders, and resigned to prepare for battle. Seeing the decadent appearance of Wang Fubao leaving gloomily, even Yin Kaishan, the general of the Taiyuan Army who came to greet Cao's brother-in-law with an injury, was a little unbearable, but it was a matter of the survival of the army, Yin Kaishan could not defend Wang Fubao word by word, and he had to follow the explanation of the Li brothers, invite Cao's brother-in-law to the camp to attend the banquet, warmly entertain Cao's brother-in-law with wine and food, and summon a beautiful maid to accompany Cao's brother-in-law with wine and food.

In the early morning of the next day, when they saw the Dou Li coalition army carrying a light flying ladder to attack the city on Linfen City, Qin Qiong and Huo Shiju and other generals couldn't believe their eyes at all, and after rubbing their eyes again and again to confirm that they were not mistaken, Huo Shiju and Qin Qiong high-fived each other, laughed loudly together, and then couldn't wait to command the army to defend the city, and condescendingly attacked the Dou Li coalition army with sufficient materials to defend the city.

Pure is the moth to the fire, carrying the rough and simple flying ladder to rush up, first by the feather arrow covered and suppressed, and then on the road only more than 20 meters wide by a variety of long-range weapons intensive blows, but also as dense as hail rain rolling stone wood ants attached to the siege of the city, Wang Fubao's descendants are brave and good at fighting is also self-defeating, one after another experienced elite soldiers fell to the ground in the arrow, one after another as close as siblings for many years brothers rolled down the city wall, fell down the ladder, the Sui army soldiers laughed in the city, Wang Fubao and his soldiers wept in their hearts.

The Taiyuan army that assisted in the siege had already been beaten away by the Sui army with bows and crossbows before they had built a pontoon bridge across the river, but Wang Fubao's army was still forced to be in front by the direct supervision team of Cao's brother-in-law. Seeing such a situation, Qin Qiong, Huo Shiju and other Sui army generals inevitably looked at each other again, and they really couldn't understand how Wang Fubao, who was brave and scheming before, could become more stupid than a pig? Yin Kaishan, who was injured in battle, couldn't help but secretly ask the generals of the Dou Army if Cao's brother-in-law had a grudge against Wang Fubao? As a result, the answer was, "Isn't it true that General Wang and General Cao have a feud?" Because General Wang reported to the king that General Cao had embezzled the booty and insulted the people's daughters, General Cao was whipped fifty horses by our king and lay on the bed for more than a month! ”

In the end, Yin Kaishan couldn't stand it and pleaded, Cao's brother-in-law let Wang Fubao withdraw back to rest temporarily, and rotated an army to continue to attack the city, and then less than half an hour passed, Wang Fubao's army was forced to the battlefield by Cao's brother-in-law, and Wang Fubao, who was angry, couldn't bear it, and simply led the death squad to attack the city, but before he rushed to the edge of the moat, he was shot by a stray arrow, and the arrow broke through the armor into his chest, and was dragged back by his subordinates, and saw that Wang Fubao was injured more seriously than Yin Kaishan, Cao's brother-in-law, who was very happy, did not continue to force Wang Fubao to attack the city, but still said in his heart: "Piff, wait!" And that's just the beginning! ”

Cao's brother-in-law's head was like a watery ant-attached siege, of course, was easily repelled by the Sui army, and as a result, after rescuing two unconscious Wang Fubao's subordinates when cleaning the battlefield, Qin Qiong and Huo Shiju and others figured out the reason why the Dou Li coalition army went crazy to attack the city today, and also knew that Wang Fubao had been taken away from the military power and was forced by Cao's brother-in-law to attack the city. Let them carry the letter back to the camp and hand it to Wang Fubao, and persuade Wang Fubao to surrender.

Although the two soldiers with the letter were lucky and were not discovered by the uncle-in-law sent by Cao's brother-in-law, they were ordered to be slapped by Wang Fubao, who was lying on the bed recuperating from his injuries, and the letter of surrender jointly signed by Qin Qiong and others was also burned by Wang Fubao, vowing never to betray Dou Jiande. The subordinates on the left and right reminded Wang Fubao that Cao's brother-in-law would not give up, Wang Fubao was silent for a moment, then patted his chest, which was still bleeding, and replied: "It's okay, I'm so badly injured, General Cao won't force me to forcibly attack the city anymore." ”

Wang Fubao really looked at Cao's brother-in-law too much, and in the following three days, Cao's brother-in-law did not order to launch a siege again, and continued Wang Fubao's previous tactics, sharpening his knife and cutting woodmen to fill the moat of Linfen, and indeed made some progress, and widened the siege road directly to the city. However, three days later, on the morning of April 23, our brother-in-law Cao once again raised his troops and decided to launch another siege, and asked Wang Fubao to be the vanguard and let Wang Fubao be responsible for the ant-attached siege with a frightening mortality rate.

In the face of Cao's brother-in-law, who has repeatedly bullied each other, Wang Fubao couldn't bear it anymore, tore his shirt to expose his wounds, and asked Cao's brother-in-law how he could go into battle with his current injury? As a result, Cao's brother-in-law rolled Danfeng's eyes, sneered and said, "This is a military order, you never obey?" ”

"No!" Wang Fubao yelled and replied: "I am injured like this! Can't fight! I don't obey this military order! ”

"Good." Brother-in-law Cao was waiting for Wang Fubao's words, and asked everyone with a cruel smile: "Generals, what kind of crime is it for disobeying orders?" ”

No one said anything, Wang Fubao, who was too upright and too limelight-stealing, had no popularity in Dou Jiande's army, so no one defended Wang Fubao and interceded, Cao's brother-in-law was satisfied, smiled again, and suddenly shouted: "Someone!" ”

"General Cao! General Cao! ”

The sudden anxious call saved Wang Fubao's life, and before the knife and axe hand that Cao's brother-in-law had prepared long ago agreed, Ren Bi, the representative of the Taiyuan Army who had been wearing a pair of pants with Cao's brother-in-law in the past few days, rushed in quickly, panting and saying to Cao's brother-in-law: "General Cao, we can't attack the city anymore, we can't attack Linfen City anymore!" ”

"Why?" Brother-in-law Cao asked suspiciously.

"The main force of the Chen thief is here!" Ren Bi's words made Cao's brother-in-law completely change his face, Ren Bi's face was a little pale and said: "Our army made a detailed report, on April 17, Chen Yingliang personally led the main army of 80,000 from Daxing to set off, with Cheng Yanjin and Xue Renguo as the vanguard, and was killing Linfen!" ”

"April 17th? The main force of the Chen thief had already sent troops six days ago? Brother-in-law Cao was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise, "Why did you only receive the news now?" Chen Thief's 80,000-strong army of the Northern Expedition, such a big move, didn't you notice it in advance? ”

"The Chen thief army has a very strict blockade of the checkpoints along the way, and our meticulous work can't send the news directly." Ren Bi replied helplessly: "This news was sent by our meticulous detour to Longquan, or was it sent to the Huoyi battlefield first, and then to Linfen." Our left and right governors estimate that in three days at the earliest, and no more than five days at the latest, the vanguard of the Chen thief will be able to reach Taiping Pass! ”

Cao's brother-in-law was completely speechless, and Ren Bi turned to Wang Fubao again, and said apologetically: "General Wang, I'm really sorry, our army also regrets not listening to your suggestion and sending troops to seize Taiping Pass in advance, otherwise, we wouldn't be so passive." General, you are familiar with the situation in Taipingguan, you said that we are going to attack Taiping Pass now, is it still too late? ”
