Li Mi's death was not the end of the Battle of Tiger Prison Pass, but only the beginning, disturbed by Li Mi's affairs, although Chen Fuliang and Dou Jiande, the two opponents who had never met before, failed to meet, but after withdrawing to the camp, Dou Jiande immediately ordered to step up the production of siege weapons, and stipulated a time limit to prepare the required siege weapons within three days, determined to take the Tiger Pass at any cost, and at the same time strive to kill Chen Fuliang on the battlefield of Tiger Pass, laying the foundation for the hegemony of the world in one fell swoop. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In all fairness, the current situation of Dou Jian's German army is not without hope to achieve this, the Dou army is a new force, the physical strength of the soldiers is more abundant than that of the Sui army, and the injuries and illnesses are not far less serious than those of the Sui army, and there are few hidden dangers in the rear and food and grass materials; The Sui army of the Eastern Expedition confronted the main force of the Dou army was inferior to the main force of the Dou army in most aspects, the soldiers were wounded and tired, and there was Luokoucang stuck in the throat in the rear, which was difficult to transport ordnance and baggage, and there was the danger of being attacked from both sides in wartime, and what was even worse was that the killer bronze artillery of the main force of the Sui army was all in the Luoyang battlefield, and it was impossible to transport it to the front line to participate in the war before the nail of Luokoucang was removed. Therefore, even Chen Fuliang himself admitted that the self-army can only exert six or seven percent of its strength at its peak at most, while the main force of the Dou army is in the most ideal heyday.

But fortunately, the Sui army has the huge advantage of geographical advantages, and I believe that there is no need to introduce how difficult the Tiger Prison Pass is to fight with high walls and deep trenches - Chen Fuliang was unable to take it for half a year. And attacking Tiger Pass from east to west is much more difficult than attacking from west to east - because the west of Tiger Pass is an open terrain of a horse and a flat river, and the siege army can reach the edge of the moat, but there is more than two miles outside the east gate of Tiger Pass There is the cover of the natural river of Bishui, although the flow of Bishui is not too large, and the foot knights can directly cross the river, but the large siege weapons must be sent to the opposite side of the moat through a strong bridge, which greatly limits the advance speed of the besieging side and interferes with the formation of the besieging army. For the defenders of the city to meet a huge advantage.

Chen Fuliang knew how to take advantage of this geographical advantage, and in the case that he was not completely unable to fight, Chen Fuliang chose to only defend without fighting, using his strengths and avoiding weaknesses to avoid the enemy's edge, and deliberately provoked Dou Jiande to lure the enemy to attack, intending to use the defense of the city to consume the enemy's strength and physical strength, and then try to counterattack. Although Dou Jiande was indeed angered by Chen Fuliang's success, he was not as impulsive as Yang Xuangan to take only some # flying ladders to attack the city and send him to death, and ordered the army to build a large number of trebuchets, trench bridge cars, ladder cars and crash vehicles At the same time, Dou Jiande sent the general Wang Xiaohu to lead an army of 8,000 to build ten strong bridges on the Bishui River the next day, so that large siege weapons could pass through.

The news of the construction of the bridge by the Dou army was sent to the tiger prison pass by the scouts, and the generals of the Sui army rushed to ask for orders to destroy the bridge of the Dou army, but Chen Fuliang called the general Sun Cheng, who belonged to the division of Li Ke, with a smile, and ordered him to lead a thousand men and horses of the headquarters to attack the Bishui Bridge and destroy the bridge that the Dou army was building. The eldest grandson Cheng, who unexpectedly got Chen Fuliang's favor, was overjoyed at first, and then when he heard the troops Chen Fuliang gave him, his face immediately changed color, and he didn't dare to sing the promise after hesitating for a moment, and said cautiously: "Your Highness, it's not that the last general doesn't receive orders, it's that the last general leads a thousand troops to attack eight thousand enemies, and ...... destroys the bridge, this ......, the last general has no confidence?" ”

Before Chen Fuliang could speak, Luo Shixin, who had long been accustomed to Chen Fuliang's obscene style, had already shouted: "Your Highness asked you to destroy the bridge of the thief army, but he didn't say that you must win the battle, nor did he ask you to destroy the bridge of the thief army, why don't you use your brain, you can't beat the thief army, can't you escape back?" ”

"Haha, Shixin is really becoming more and more courageous and resourceful." Chen Fuliang laughed when he heard this, and said: "I just gave the order, you can immediately guess my real intentions, yes, yes, more and more generals." ”

When the eldest grandson Cheng was still a little inexplicable, Luo Shixin said with a smile: "Follow His Highness to fight, and the last general can't learn some fancy intestines if he wants to." By the way, Your Highness, it's best to let General Changsun fight a few more battles, and remember to bring his flag every time? Then after a few times, can you temporarily lend the flag of General Changsun to the last general? ”

When Changsun Cheng finally woke up, Wei Chi Jingde, Wang Fubao and Xu Shiyun and other generals had also opened their mouths to ask for themselves to borrow the banner of Changsun Cheng, and Luo Shixin shouted that he spoke first and insisted on refusing to give in, and finally Chen Fuliang presided over justice and said: "Shixin opened his mouth first, he must first borrow the banner of General Changsun, and if he can't do it, he will lend it to you." ”

"Then we don't have to borrow, we definitely don't have a chance." Wei Chi Jingde and Wang Fubao and other generals hung their heads one after another, Chen Fuliang smiled and waved his hand to let Changsun Cheng take it, and told Changsun Cheng to act like a point, and Changsun Cheng, who had woken up, also hugged his fists and sang a promise, and then immediately went down to prepare to face the battle - Changsun Cheng and Changsun Xiaoluoli got a little close, for the sake of powerful distant relatives, Changsun Cheng, who was still a little ambitious, did not mind being wronged.

In this way, the eldest Sun Cheng, who knew that he was going to be defeated, took the troops out of the city to stop the Dou army from building a bridge, and Wang Xiaohu, the general of the Dou army who was ordered to build the bridge, bullied the elder Sun Cheng with few soldiers, and refused to rely on the simple fortifications built in advance to fight in array, and directly divided the troops into two thousand to meet the attack, and the two armies fought on the west bank of the river, and the eldest Sun Cheng, who had been told by Chen Fuliang to play the real image, also took out all his strength to fight, but the troops were thin and the second-line army under his command was the second-line army, and he could not do the first-line soldiers of the Dou army who occupied the numerical advantage, and he was killed in embarrassment and fled in less than a moment. was chased by Dou Jun like a rabbit and fled back to the Tiger Prison.

In the evening of the same day, Changsun Cheng attacked again, and was easily defeated by the Dou army again, the morale of the Dou army, which had won two battles in a row, was rising, and the military heart gradually became arrogant, but Chen Fuliang did not blame Changsun Cheng for the crime of defeat, and sent an army to the east to attack the enemy's bridge in the early morning of the next day, and once again secretly ordered Xu to defeat and not win, deliberately let the army lose three times in front of Wang Xiaohu, and patiently waited for the Dou army bridge to be gradually completed.

In the afternoon, Chen Fuliang finally came to a real time, ordered Luo Shixin to lead 1,000 elite soldiers to attack under the banner of Changsun Cheng, and ordered Qiu Xinggong to lead 5,000 troops to assemble Hou Ming in the pass, so as to receive Luo Shixin and meet Dou Jiande's reinforcements. And when Luo Shixin appeared in front of the Dou army under the banner of Changsun Cheng, Wang Xiaohu ridiculed his subordinates for being defeated and sent to death again, and at the same time, he simply led 5,000 troops to meet the battle, and also divided his troops to cut off the retreat of the Sui army, striving to inflict heavy losses and even annihilate the Sui army.

Of course, Wang Xiaohu quickly repented for his risk to leave the protection of the fence and earthen fortifications, because the Sui soldiers who appeared in front of him this time suddenly became a group of crazy people, under the leadership of a young Sui general, before the Dou army could set the formation, he rushed up, and pierced directly into the Dou army formation like a sharp knife, forcing the Dou army soldiers to fight with them in close combat, the surprisingly young Sui army general was a madman among the madmen, carrying double knives in the formation and rampage, as if entering no man's land, killing people and cutting them when they saw the enemy, One knife is faster than the other, one knife is more fierce than the other, the Dou army soldiers have almost no enemy in front of him, and in less than a moment, more than a dozen Dou soldiers died under his knife. Wang Xiaohu and countless Dou soldiers were also frightened because of this, and they all exclaimed, "Who is this horseman?" Why is it so powerful? ”

What made Wang Xiaohu even more frightened was still behind, after successfully disrupting the Dou army column, in the case that the Dou army had already returned to the main force to see that the situation was not good, the young Sui general actually killed directly towards his banner, and the Sui soldiers behind him also kept walking, following behind him to slash and kill, without putting the Dou soldiers who poured in from front and back, left and right, and the young Sui generals who had been killed and covered with blood were still laughing wildly in the shadow of the sword and sword, "Happy!" Joyfully! What a pleasure to kill! ”

Wang Xiaohu is definitely a general who can fight with his head in the Dou army, and he vaguely perceived the plan, but also saw that the situation was very bad for him, Wang Xiaohu did not take the initiative to run to Luo Shixin to die like an ordinary general, and decisively chose to lead the army to retreat to the bridge, and at the same time immediately sent people to the battalion for help, so as not to be destroyed by the soldiers of the Sui army to destroy the solid bridge that was about to be completed. However, after the Dou army retreated, Luo Shixin not only pursued to the edge of the bridge without hesitation, Qiu Xinggong also immediately took the Sui army out of the city to help the battle, and brought all kinds of fire-burning things to the bridgehead to help Luo Shixin.

The battle of the bridgehead was extremely fierce, although the soldiers of the Dou army led by Wang Xiaohu also made a stubborn resistance, but they lost the opportunity by surprise, and could not effectively resist the attack of the Sui army with the bridgehead fortifications such as fences and earth barriers, and the formation was messy in a hasty retreat, and there was no way to resist the elite soldiers of the Sui army under the command of Luo Shixin and Qiu Xinggong, and eight of the ten newly built bridges were destroyed and burned by the Sui army, and the casualties of the soldiers were also quite large. When Dou Jiande hurriedly sent troops to help, Luo Shixin and Qiu Xinggong immediately retreated under Chen Fuliang's order, retreated to the tiger prison and closed the city to defend it, and did not continue to fight with Dou's new army.

After the fierce battle, the Bishui battlefield was devastated, the eight newly built bridges were gradually reduced to ashes in the smoke of the fire, and the remaining two and the other previously built bridges were also damaged to varying degrees, so the large siege weapons of the Dou army could not quickly cross the river and enter the siege battle. After Dou Jiande heard the report, he scolded Wang Xiaohu for being bloody, and had no choice but to give up the plan to attack the city the next day, and at the same time sent more troops to repair and rebuild the bridge, and the morale of the army was also affected.

The Sui army is not easy in this regard, after the war statistics, Luo Shixin's elite under the command of the first line of casualties in the fierce battle casualties of more than 120 people, Qiu Xinggong's main army casualties of close to 300, the loss is by no means small, at the same time, even the unruly Luo Shixin also admitted that the combat effectiveness of the Dou soldiers is above his expectations, and the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers is no less than that of the main soldiers of Li Yuan's army on the Taiyuan battlefield that year.

It is precisely because of this that Chen Fuliang decisively gave up his plan to fight a few more tug-of-wars with Dou Jiande on the Bishui battlefield, and allowed Dou Jiande to rebuild the bridge and step up preparations for the defense of the city, and at the same time let the Dou army prisoners captured by Qiu Xinggong return to the Dou army camp with letters and hand them over to Dou Jiande, and ridicule the defeat of Dou Jiande's army with letters, so as to provoke anger and provoke Dou Jiande to launch a strong attack. And Dou Jiande was really furious when he saw the letter, urging him to step up the bridge, and once again swore that after breaking the city, Chen Fuliang would be cut by a thousand knives and Ling Chi would be executed.

Judging from all kinds of signs, it is a foregone conclusion that the Dou army is about to launch a large-scale attack on the Tiger Pass, and at the same time, the Luokoucang side will definitely send troops to help Dou Jiande, and the Sui army must face a two-front battle. Under such circumstances, Chen Fuliang, who has always been dictatorial and autocratic, had to convene a military meeting to discuss the battle strategy with all the civil and military forces under his command.

During the discussion, most of the Sui army and civil and military forces believed that the main force should be used in the east, and more than sixty percent of the strength should be used to resist Dou Jiande's attack, and the remaining strength should be used to deal with the Zheng army in Luokoucang. Only Wang Fubao and Yin Kaishan strongly advocated that Zheng should be followed by Xia, first use most of their forces to kill Wang Xuanying first, and then turn around and concentrate on confronting Dou Jiande, Luo Shixin and Guo Feng and other generals also agreed to this proposal - but unfortunately they couldn't say any decent reasons.

Yin Kaishan's reason for advocating Zheng first and then Xia is the truth of Tian Ji's horse racing, and he talked eloquently in front of everyone: "Facing Dou Jiande's main force with three or four percent of the force, although this move is risky, we are also very sure, because in the first siege battle, the Dou thief army must face the problem of moats, sheep and horse walls, and antlers and other fortifications under the city. However, slowly, the eight pine cannons left by Wang Shichong's thief army are also unseen and unheard of by the Dou thief army, and our army's sudden use will inevitably cause a huge intimidation effect on the Dou thief soldiers, and the Dou thief army will have to spend a certain amount of time to get used to familiarity, and at the same time, our army also has the advantages of the most complete fortifications and the most sufficient materials to defend the city, etc., and it is great to block the strong enemy with weak soldiers. ”

"In this way, as long as our main forces seize the opportunity to inflict heavy losses on Wang Shichong's thief army who are fighting out of the city, the next situation will be very favorable to us." Yin Kaishan continued: "Having severely damaged Wang Shichong's thief army, we not only don't have to worry about being attacked on both sides in the next battle, but we can also take Luokoucang with only part of the partial division, completely solve our grain and grass problem, obtain a large amount of military baggage, and completely dredge our supply roads. ”

"But if we first use Xia and then Zheng, and first use the main forces to resist Dou Jiande's attack, then the Tiger Prison Pass can be guaranteed to be held, but after a long time, we use less bows and arrows, fire oil and ordnance to defend the city, and we are choked by Wang Shichong's thief army and cannot be replenished, the more stalemate continues, the more unfavorable the situation will be for us. Therefore, I believe that we must not just blindly ensure that the tiger is not lost, but must take some risks and first pull out the nail of Luokoucang, so that we can completely reverse the unfavorable situation in which we are now fighting on two fronts. ”

"The last general also thinks that Zheng should be followed by Xia." Wang Fubao's voice was still as serious and solemn as usual, and he said in a deep voice: "The reason is that Dou Jiande is not good at fighting tough battles, when he personally supervised Hejian City, the siege of the city failed to break the city for a year, the siege tactics are the same, lackluster, and easy to be swayed by his subordinates, often miss the opportunity at the moment of attacking, the fortification of the tiger prison is above the Hejian City, and only the east gate is affected by the enemy, the enemy's forces cannot be deployed, and the pressure we face is far easier than the Hejian defenders back then, and it will be a waste to deal with him with too much strength." Instead of wasting valuable combat power, it is better to give priority to dealing with Wang Xuanying, break Wang Xuanying's main force in the field battle, and solve the problem of our two fronts being attacked in one fell swoop. ”

"Yes, yes, it should be given priority to deal with Wang Xuanying! We are not afraid of fighting him in the field, but we are afraid that this puppet will hide in the city and not come out! ”

Luo Shixin and Guo Feng, who like to fight in the field, also nodded desperately in agreement, praising Yin Kaishan and Wang Fubao for saying well and rightly, but Feng Deyi and Shi Wanbao and others agreed that Yin Wang and others were reasonable, and at the same time, they reminded that the terrain of Tiger Prison Pass is important, and there must be no mistakes, Dou Jiande's army is strong, and he must not ignore it at all, in addition, Feng Deyi and others still have a sentence in their hearts that they dare not say - Wang Fubao surrendered from Dou Jiande's side, and strongly persuaded Chen Fuliang to use the main force on the Western Front, There is a suspicion of transferring the tiger from the mountain to help Dou Jiande.

The ball was finally kicked back in front of Chen Fuliang, Chen Fuliang, who always talked inexhaustibly at military meetings in the past, was unusual, almost did not speak, and had been patiently listening to the suggestions and analysis of the accomplices and lackeys, and when the accomplices finished their opinions, they all waited for Chen Fuliang to finally make a final decision, Chen Fuliang was silent for a long time, and then turned his gaze to Li Keshi's face and asked: "Uncle Cousin, I will entrust the Tiger Prison Pass to you, do you have the confidence to hold it?" ”

"Me?" Li Keshi was stunned at first, and then asked in surprise: "Your Highness, do you plan to personally face the Western Front?" ”

"Not bad." Chen Fuliang nodded and said, "Old General Yin is right, only by pulling out the nail of Luokoucang first and completely dredging our supply road can we be invincible in front of Dou Jiande." Therefore, we must take some risks, first Zheng and then Xia, I will take the main force to clean up Wang Xuanying first, and you will take the partial division to deal with Dou Jiande and buy time for me. ”

Being entrusted with such a major task by Chen Fuliang, Li Keshi was so excited that his face turned red, and he said with trembling words for a while: "Your Highness, if the last general ......, if the last general disappoints you, then what should you do?" ”

"Then you can do it yourself." Chen Fuliang replied very easily, and said: "But if we don't take risks, we can't do it, Yuan Shangshu and the old general Qu Tu have been restrained by Wang Shichong, if we don't seize the time and seize the opportunity to kill Wang Xuanying, and continue to stalemate, the situation will only get worse and worse for us day by day, so I can only give priority to solving Wang Xuanying, and I can only entrust the Tiger Prison Pass to you." ”

After hesitating for a moment, Li Keshi left the table and bowed to Chen Fuliang, and said solemnly: "His Royal Highness will not give up, and he will entrust such a heavy task to the last general. The last general also asked His Highness to rest assured, after His Highness went out of the Tiger Prison Pass in the west, the Tiger Prison Pass was there, the last general was there, the Tiger Prison Pass was not there, and the last general's head fell to the ground! ”

"Then please ask my cousin." Chen Fuliang's tone was calmer, and he said: "I will leave 15,000 troops for you, and I will also leave Old General Yin, Qiu Xinggong and Xu Shiyun to you, Old General Yin has rich battlefield experience, Xinggong and Shiyun are brave and strategic, they will definitely be able to help you a lot." ”

Li Keshi respectfully thanked again, Yin Kaishan, Qiu Xinggong and Xu Shiyun and other generals also left the table to salute and receive the order, Chen Fuliang nodded, got up and said: "Then do it, immediately divide the soldiers and horses, prepare war materials, the thief army will kill left and right, we will defend the east and attack the west, first break Wang Xuanying, and then destroy Dou Jiande!" ”
