Zhang Zhinian is about 30 years old, burly, a seventy-pound three-pointed two-edged knife, strong in martial arts, is the confidant of Wang Xuanying, the prince of Zheng State, he is not only good at fighting, but also quite a bit of brains, so Wang Xuanying left him to guard the tiger prison.

However, if there are more brains, the mind will live, Zhang Zhi realized that Wang Shichong was already in the twilight, and he had to find a future for himself, so he secretly surrendered to the Tang Dynasty under the pull of Li Xiaoji.

At this time, Zhang Zhi felt a little strange in his heart, if Wei Lu sent someone to send food, he should have written a letter in advance, and he immediately shouted: "Let all the brothers be vigilant!" ”

He ordered another soldier to go out of the city to investigate, and a crack in the gate opened, and one soldier galloped out on horseback and ran towards the convoy of grain two miles away.

After a while, Wang Xiong followed the soldiers to the city, and Wang Xiong smiled and said, "General Zhang, it is the county that went to Luoyang to deliver grain." ”

The soldier also said loudly: "General, it is indeed grain, about 2,000 stones, all of which are driven by farmers in Xingyang County, and there are more than 100 pigs and sheep. ”

"Pigs and sheep are the brothers who are rewarded to the Tiger Prison, General Zhang, can you open the city?"

Zhang Zhi knew Wang Xiong and listened to the soldiers' reports, so he had no doubts, but he still asked, "Why didn't Wang County Order send a letter in advance?" ”

Wang Xiong smiled, "When neighbors come and go, do you have to send a letter first?" ”

This is also true, Tiger Prison Pass and Xingyang County are also thirty miles apart, there is really no need to send any more letters, Zhang Zhi nodded, turned around and ordered: "Open the city!" ”

The city gate slowly opened, Luo Shi was overjoyed in confidence, although Guancheng County did not succeed, but the Tiger Prison Pass succeeded, this strategy was almost seamless, the only loophole was whether Taishou Wei Lu would send someone to inform the Tiger Prison Pass, for which he also arranged for soldiers to intercept on the road that must be passed, but there was no gain.

Luo Shi always had a worry in his confidence, but now it seems that God favored him, and Guancheng County did not send anyone to report the Tiger Prison Pass. It is very likely that Wei Lu regarded them as Li Mi's army.

Luo Shixin led three hundred 'militia soldiers' to escort the grain cart slowly, each of them wearing armor inside and a black and red soap suit for the servants outside, despite the abnormal heat, the soldiers all survived, and even the old farmers who transported the grain did not realize that they were Sui soldiers.

When the team reached the city gate, Luo Shixin glanced at these honest and honest old grain delivery farmers, and immediately ordered: "The grain cart is one step faster." The cavalry is in the city! ”

The grain trucks stopped. Luo Shixin led three hundred cavalry to jump onto the drawbridge and rushed towards the city, the head of the city. Zhang Zhi had been watching them, and he didn't pay attention to the three hundred guards at first. He knew that these were county soldiers.

But Zhang Zhi quickly discovered the strangeness, the war horses of these three hundred county soldiers are extremely strong, obviously Turkic horses outside the Saiwai, and as county soldiers, even if they have war horses, they should be inferior horses in the Central Plains, and it is impossible to have such excellent war horses.

These 300 county soldiers are all athletic and skilled, how can ordinary Central Plains soldiers have this kind of riding skills and physique. This made Zhang Zhi's heart suddenly suspicious.

At this time, his eyes were fixed on Luo Shixin again, this should be the captain of the other party, he remembered that the captain of the Xingyang County Soldiers was Wang Xiong's nephew Wang Xiaode, who was much shorter than this general, not so tall and burly.

Moreover, this person's weapon turned out to be a big iron spear, Zhang Zhi estimated in his heart. This big iron spear was at least about one hundred and twenty pounds, which shocked him very much, who was this person?

Cold sweat oozed from Zhang Zhi's forehead, he began to realize that something was wrong, and immediately ran to the inner wall to shout: "Stop the county soldiers." They are not allowed to enter the customs! ”

Inside the gates stood hundreds of soldiers, each armed with a spear. At the same time as Zhang Zhi's order was issued, three hundred Sui cavalry also rushed into the pass, and the situation changed suddenly, hundreds of soldiers rushed up with spears in their hands, and countless spears poked at Luo Shixin, who was in the lead.

Seeing that Luo Shixin had been recognized, he shouted, and blocked dozens of spears, and then shook out the spear flowers, and the spears flew like divine lightning, and in an instant four or five people were stabbed by his spears, and the defenders saw that they were extremely brave, and they all shouted in fright, turned around and ran.

Luo Shixin turned his horse's head and rushed towards the Shangcheng Road, facing dozens of arrows whistling, he waved his iron spear to Diao Ling, and a column of horses rushed up the Yongdao.

He shouted, and one of the guards couldn't dodge, and was pierced through the chest by his shot, and the corpse flew out, and then the big iron spear shook and stabbed violently, and the tip of the spear pierced the chests of three soldiers, and the three of them broke out in a terrible scream at the same time.

Among the top ten fierce generals in the world, Luo Shixin ranks fourth, because Yuwen Chengdu is dead, he is actually the third, he is not only a master of marksmanship, but also infinitely powerful, plus he is brave, in addition to being defeated by his senior brother Yang Yuanqing, he is invincible and victorious.

The road to the upper city was crowded with more than 100 soldiers, all with spears in their hands, looking in horror at the enemy generals who rushed up, and the bravery of the enemy generals frightened them into fear and trembled.

Luo Shixin was like a tiger into a pack of wolves, and the more he fought, the more courageous he became, and more than forty people had died under his spear.

At this time, Luo Shixin was less than two feet away from the city, and a burly enemy lieutenant quietly touched the top of his head, holding a short spear, and when he was still one zhang away from the top of Luo Shixin's head, he stabbed the short spear out violently.....

The short spear was like a poisonous snake, stabbing at the back of Luo Shixin's neck, and he was about to stab, but at this moment, Luo Shixin turned around, and the short spear passed by, and his big iron spear stabbed at the enemy general who sneaked up like lightning.

'Poof! The big iron spear pierced the armor of the enemy general, pierced from the front chest, the tip of the gun penetrated from the back, the enemy general screamed in pain, Luo Shixin's arm struggled, and the enemy general weighing nearly 200 pounds was picked up in the air, the tip of the gun was flicked, and the corpse was smashed into dozens of soldiers in front, and more than a dozen soldiers were smashed over, this scene finally made the remaining more than 60 enemy soldiers on the road collapse.

They shouted, turned around and fled, and suddenly fled cleanly on the road, Luo Shixin rushed to the city, and met Zhang Zhi, the main general who was running on horseback.

"The enemy general is rampant, eat me with a knife!"

Zhang Zhi waved the three-pointed two-edged knife and slashed at Luo Shixin's head and neck, the blade was fierce, Luo Shixin was already able to kill at this time, and he also roared: "It's good!" ”

The body retreated backwards, dodged the knife, a spear, shouted like a thunderbolt, the tip of the gun was like thunder, a shot pierced the body of the war horse, the tip of the gun was raised, the war horse neighed, turned sideways, and the huge running inertia made Zhang Zhilian roll down the city with the horse, and with a long scream, Zhang Zhi fell to his death under the tiger prison.

He slammed his iron spear into the ground and shouted at the hundreds of enemy troops at the head of the city: "I am Luo Shixin, the Sui general, if you don't surrender, when will you wait?" ”

The soldiers at the head of the city were already stunned by his brave god-like killing, and when they heard that he was Luo Shixin, the fierce general who won the world, hundreds of soldiers were terrified, and they put down their weapons one after another, kneeling and surrendering, "We are willing to surrender to the general!" ”

At this time, Cheng Yanjin led more than 700 cavalry to arrive, the war horse galloped, the tip of the spear flashed, and the 700 cavalry rushed into the Tiger Prison Pass at a gallop, and the first pass in the Central Plains fell into the hands of the Sui army......

The southernmost part of Yeongcheon-gun is also a hilly area, with gentle mountains, plains and hills, and a dense network of rivers, and large areas of farmland.

This is the seat of Ye County of Yingchuan County, Ye County is located at the junction of five counties, southwest is Shuyang County, south is Huai'an County, southeast is Runan County, west is Xiangcheng County, and north of Xiangcheng County is Luoyang.

Yingchuan County is also the center of the entire Henan Province, that is, Xuchang, the capital of Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms, Liang County to the east, Xingyang County to the north, so since ancient times, there is a saying that 'the Central Plains map the world, Xuchang maps the Central Plains', and it is a place where soldiers must fight.

In the evening of that day, a ten-man Sui army scout team entered Ye County from Xiangcheng County, galloping on the vast plains, under their feet there were originally large wheat fields, but now most of them are barren, and only a few fertile land with water is planted with wheat.

At this time, the wheat has reached the harvest season, the large wheat field by the river is golden, the wheat waves are rolling, filled with the joy of harvest, the wheat field is full of wheat harvesting farmers, they look up from time to time, vigilantly watching the Sui army scouts galloping by.

"Huo Chang, this year's harvest seems to be good, I wonder how our harvest in Hedong is?" A Sui soldier asked aloud.

Huo Chang is about twenty-four or five years old, sturdy, not much talk, more taciturn personality, the level of the scout is one level higher than the average ordinary soldier, such as this fire chief, in the ordinary army, he can serve as the team leader, the fire chief's surname is Cao, is a native of Jiangjun County, Hedong, served in the army for a year, made meritorious contributions in the Hebei campaign, and was promoted to the scout fire chief, this time he was ordered to explore the southwest of Xuchang County.

In the entire Henan Province, there are hundreds of scout squads like them, each team has its own territory to inspect, and his subordinates are very concerned about the harvest, but Cao Huochang is thinking about other things and does not answer his subordinates' questions.

Last night they met a few merchants, and the businessmen told him a piece of information, saying that they had also encountered a team of patrol soldiers in similar attire in Ye County, about more than 100 people, which made Cao Huochang suddenly vigilant, Ye County was his patrol range, how could there be other troops, and there were more than 100 people, he immediately thought that it was likely to be the Wei army patrol team.

Generally, this kind of patrol team of more than 100 people appears, and they will be followed by a large group of people, could it be that the main force of the Wei army has already come to Yingchuan County, he is puzzled in his heart, so he led the brothers to check the situation.

They traveled three more miles, up a gentle hill, and along the mountain road to the north, and soon came to the end, with a cliff in front of them, and below the cliff was an endless plain, which could be washed down the dirt slope by the side path, and this area was densely wooded and sparsely populated.

Suddenly, someone pointed ahead and shouted, "Fire Chief, look ahead!" ”

Everyone was stunned, and saw that three miles in front of the cliff, there was a huge military camp, about hundreds of acres, with dense tents, one next to the other, and at least seventy or eighty thousand horses.

In the middle of the camp is inserted a flagpole about five zhang high, the handsome flag is flying, the big flag is red and white, this is actually the military flag of the Tang Dynasty
