Known as the first of the Taihang Eight Mountains, the Yiguan Heavenly Danger has won valuable time for the reinforcements of the Eastern Capital, and the Li Yuan rebels who have been breaking through all the way have been divided into Hanoi County, and Wangwu County, west of Yiguan, has simply surrendered to Li Yuan's rebels, and the people of Wangwu, who are unbearable to the tyranny, have also joined Li Yuan's rebels in groups, plus the displaced people who were recruited on the road before, Duan Zhixuan's army has expanded from 30,000 troops to more than 40,000 at the time of departure, but just when Duan Zhixuan was ready to take Yiguan in one go, Hanoi Governor Dugu Wudu led reinforcements to rush to Yiguan first.

Dugu Wudu is barely a competent court official, although he only brought 2,000 local village soldiers, and there is only one garrison of about 200 people in Yiguan, the total strength is very different from the powerful Li Yuan rebels, although he has quietly prepared the plan to lay down his arms and surrender if the situation is not right, but Dugu Wudu still resolutely refused Duan Zhixuan's surrender, gritted his teeth and said that he would fight with the rebels, which was more or less a repayment of the favor given to him by Emperor Yang of Sui and the opportunity to take bribes.

The narrowest place is only eight meters wide Yiguan Tianhazard gave Dugu Wudu the opportunity to repay the country's kindness, the surging tide of rebels is limited by the terrain, can not give full play to the advantage of troops, can only be a small number of troops to take turns to attack the pass, forty years ago is still the Northern Qi and Northern Zhou national boundary line of the Yiguan Guancheng, although the war has been sparse for a long time, the defensive equipment is not enough, but the dilapidated Guancheng is still there, the township soldiers under the command of Dugu Wudu can also hide on the wall and smash stones, Dugu Wudu also came to the front line to command the battle, and knocked over the small number of rebels with wood Flying ladder, also used knives to force his subordinates to desperately resist the rebel soldiers who climbed the siege, and with great effort, he finally repelled the rebels' attack on the first day.

The army marched all the way, somewhat tired, the siege weapons were insufficient, the terrain was dangerous, and the sky was already dark, taking into account these objective factors, Duan Zhixuan made a fatal mistake, did not attack the city overnight at any cost, and chose to accept his subordinate Zhang Daoyuan to build yì, let the army sleep outside the pass for a night, and at the same time prepare siege weapons, and launch the siege again the next day, which is also August 19.

At the same time, on the side of the eastern capital, on August 17, after accepting Pei Xingfang's decision to send troops, Chen Fuliang ordered the army to prepare for the expedition on the same day, and immediately ordered Meng Jindu to prepare a ferry for the reinforcements of the eastern capital, and in the early morning of August 18, the two reinforcements led by Liu Changgong and Huang Taoshu of the Sui army set off at the same time, and crossed the Yellow River at noon on the same day, and then Huang Taoshu (don't laugh, there is really this person) led 8,000 reinforcements to Linqing Pass, and Liu Changgong took Zhao Yubu of the national army as the vanguard, all the way to Yiguan.

After nightfall that day, Liu Changgong planned to let the army camp and rest, but Pei Xingfang, who joined the army, proposed that the military situation was like fire, and strongly advised Liu Changgong to hurry overnight and rest after arriving at Yiguan. Although Liu Changgong was incompetent, because he had a good relationship with Chen Fuliang and almost wore a pair of pants, he gave face to his friend and cousin, and only let the army stay for two hours before continuing to rush to Yiguan. At the same time, Pei Xingfang found Zhao Yu again, ordered him to set off to Yiguan for reinforcements the next day, and asked all the **** soldiers to take off their conspicuous white robes, not to reveal their identities for the time being, and handed over a banner with heavy meaning to Zhao Yu, and whispered in Zhao Yu's ear for a long time.

Duan Zhixuan paid a huge price for his mistakes, on August 19, Li Yuan's rebels, who had prepared a large number of flying ladders, launched a strong attack again, Tang Jian took the lead in leading the army to attack the city, the rebel soldiers overcame the unfavorable terrain with amazing will, and killed a large number of people under the city, stepping on the rough flying ladder that did not even have time to scrape off the bark and charging wildly, struggling to dig the wall in disrepair with a hoe and shovel, although Hanoi led by Dugu Wudu also mustered up the courage to resist, but still could not stop the rebels' tidal offensive, and then how desperately to throw arrows and stones, But it still couldn't stop the rebels from rushing to the wall.

Noon was approaching, when the first red and white rebel flag was planted on the top of the wall, the rebel team under the wall suddenly erupted in the cheers of the landslide and tsunami, Duan Zhixuan and Zhang Daoyuan also showed joy on both faces, stretched out their hands on the horse and high-fived each other, and laughed in unison: "Guan Po!" ”

"Oh!" Countless boos suddenly sounded again, Duan Zhixuan and Zhang Daoyuan were surprised when they looked at Yiguan again, but saw that the flag of the self-army had disappeared, and at the same time, the self-army soldiers who had rushed to the wall of the pass were also rolling down like hailstones, and they could vaguely see that many Sui soldiers wearing Mingguang armor had rushed to the city wall, and were slaughtering the self-army soldiers like chasing ducks, and the self-army soldiers seemed to have no resistance in front of them, and they were killed so much that they didn't even have time to climb the ladder, so they jumped off the wall and fled for their lives. Seeing this scene, Duan Zhixuan and Zhang Daoyuan once again spoke in unison, and exclaimed in unison: "What's wrong?" What kind of officers and soldiers are in the city? So powerful? ”

"Duan Juntou! Look! The exclamation sounded again, and when Duan Zhixuan and Zhang Daoyuan took a closer look, they were stunned to see that on the wall of Yiguan, a handsome flag with black letters on a red background was suddenly erected, but it was too far away, and they couldn't see whose flag it was for the time being.

"Commander! Captain! We did it! We did it! ”

Duan Zhixuan and Zhang Daoyuan's questions were quickly answered, and Tang Jian, who led the army to charge, rushed back quickly, and cheered from afar: "It's Chen Yingliang's Eastern Capital Left Behind to Guard the Banner!" Chen Yingliang is here in person! We successfully attracted Chen Yingliang! ”

Suddenly realized, Duan Zhixuan and Zhang Daoyuan finally understood why the Sui army in the city was so ferocious-even a commander would bring the most elite soldiers with him, and they immediately showed joy, and Tang Jian asked again: "Duan Juntou, do you want to continue to attack?" The officers and soldiers on the wall are very powerful, and the people who rushed to the wall are already considered warriors, but they still can't beat them, and they all knock down the wall with a single charge. ”

Looking at the battlefield of the wall carefully, Duan Zhixuan found that the situation was just as Tang Jian said, the new Sui soldiers had indeed knocked all the soldiers of the self-army down the wall, and the defenders of the Yiguan who were already close to collapse also took the opportunity to stabilize their positions and began to hit the flying ladder of the self-army with a big wood again, and at the same time, the rockfall on the wall was also much more abrupt, but Duan Zhixuan refused to give up, and said: "Although Chen Yingliang personally led the army to come, but the current one must only be the forward, the main force of the brigade must still be behind, we still have one last chance, another onslaught!" If we can break through the pass before the official army arrives, and maybe we can take Chen Yingliang's head, then we will make a great contribution to the general! ”

Duan Zhixuan is only twenty years old this year, Zhang Daoyuan and Tang Jian are about the same age as him, they are both eager to build a miracle and prestige, after listening to Duan Zhixuan's words, they naturally all applauded, not only did not dissuade, but also agreed that the three of them took turns to lead the army to charge, try to break through the pass at any cost, and take advantage of the opportunity that the Sui army brigade has not yet arrived to break the myth of Chen Fuliang's undefeated.

Moths to the fire, the first to rush to the battlefield of the **** soldiers although there are only two hundred and eleven, but the narrowest part of the terrain is only eight meters wide, but it is enough to report the **** soldiers calmly guard, and even take turns to rest and take turns to deal with the enemy, no matter how hard the rebel soldiers charge, each time they can put into the attack is not much, finally against the feather arrows falling stones, stepping on the simple ladder to rush to the city wall, and immediately have to face the siege of several **** soldiers, and then how desperate to fight, The rebel soldiers who bravely climbed the city often didn't even see what the enemy on the opposite side looked like, they were already separated, or they had been pierced through the heart with an iron gun, and the more fierce they charged, the greater the loss.

With the **** soldiers in front, the frightened Hanoi Sui army gradually began to play a role, and when they saw the seams, they desperately smashed the enemy with sheep's head stones, and also concentrated their bows and arrows to cover the dense enemy in the passes, and achieved a lot of results, and the casualty figures of Li Yuan's rebels also quickly climbed upward. Duan Zhixuan and Zhang Daoyuan and other generals each led their troops to charge in turn, but not only did they not succeed, but they also lost one or two hundred troops.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the scout on the mountain flew to see the dust behind Yiguan, which proved that the Sui army brigade was gradually approaching Yiguan, Duan Zhixuan had to give an order to retreat, and the rebel soldiers who were crowded on the narrow pass retreated, and countless cheers suddenly sounded in Yiguan. Hearing this cheer, Duan Zhixuan didn't feel much annoyed, snorted disdainfully, and said, "Officer Chen, don't get too complacent, as long as I contain you here for more than ten days, I will complete the task assigned by the general!" ”

Hmph, Duan Zhixuan also spat heavily at Chen Fuliang's handsome banner, once again proving the lowliness of the anti-Sui and anti-national Li Yuan rebel group and their unhygienic style.

After Shen Shi in the afternoon of the same day, Liu Changgong led 10,000 reinforcements to arrive at Yiguan and set up a large camp outside the east gate of Yiguan, during which Liu Changgong took Pei Xingfang and Liu Heimin and other civil and military assistants to inspect Yiguan in person, and after seeing the dangerous terrain of Yiguan, Liu Changgong, who came here for the first time, laughed, saying that this battle was too easy to fight, and as long as the army held the pass tightly, there was no need to go out of the pass to fight, and the enemy could be boiled to death. However, Pei Xingfang and Liu Heimin refused to give up, and immediately began to inquire about the process of the battle, understand the enemy's situation, and Yue Qian reconnoitred the enemy's situation, drew a geographical map, and discussed strategies to break the enemy.

"Seeing that my brother's banner has not retreated, he has even launched three attacks, and our opponent this time is not ambitious." Pei Xingfang said: "And he is very smart, seeing the arrival of our reinforcements, not only did he not panic, but he immediately decided that our reinforcement brigade was still behind, and launched three more attacks in time, the purpose was not only to seize the last opportunity, but also to defeat or even kill my brother." ”

"It's a set, it's me, and I'm going to seize the last chance to attack." Liu Heimin first nodded in agreement, and then said: "Brother Xingfang, the scouts here are too bad, and I haven't even figured out how many troops the enemy has and how to station, taking advantage of the fact that it is getting dark, I will go to the enemy camp to find out the situation there, and then discuss how to clean them up." ”

"Tomorrow, we only rested for two hours last night, you are too tired, the army has not yet finished camping, and we will talk about it after today." Pei Xingfang mentioned yì and said: "Besides, it's too dark, you have never been here, and you can't see the layout of the enemy camp clearly." ”

Liu Heimin thought about it, so he didn't insist, Pei Xingfang proposed to Liu Changgong and Dugu Wudu to build a joint effort by the elite of the Eastern Capital and the Hanoi Township Soldiers to hand over the pass, set up sentry posts on the high ground on both sides, and condescendingly looked down on the battlefield, Liu Changgong agreed, and the soldiers under his command were too bad Dugu Wudu couldn't ask for it, and also took the initiative to completely change the defense, and the Sui army in the eastern capital completely took over the pass, but Pei Xingfang did not agree for special considerations. At present, the Sui army sent people up the mountain to set up a sentry, and at the same time seized the time to set up a camp overnight.

The night passed quickly, and what made Liu Changgong, Pei Xingfang, Liu Heimin and others laugh loudly was that Li Yuan's rebel division, which had been in a state of camping, had also established a camp east of Qiziling, which clearly proved that the rebel division had been in the middle of the plan, and believed that Chen Fuliang personally came to the Yiguan battlefield, so he seized the time to set up a camp, prepared to fortify the wall for self-protection, and confronted Chen Fuliang for a long time to contain it. After laughing, Liu Heimin, who was already ready, immediately disguised himself as an ordinary person and sneaked out of the customs, sneaking to the enemy camp to do his old job to reconnoiter the military situation, Liu Changgong and Pei Xingfang also deliberately continued to fight high in the camp without mentioning Chen Fuliang's handsome flag.

The next morning was approaching, Liu Heimin returned to Yiguan by lì, and also brought back an enemy horse and an enemy general's head, followed by the angry rebel cavalry, but unfortunately Liu Heimin laughed wildly and fled back to Guanzhong, the thief pursuers tried to take the opportunity to rush into the pass but failed, but were killed and wounded by the defenders with bows and arrows - the elite archery skills of the Eastern Capital can be several levels different from the Hanoi village soldiers. Liu Changgong and Pei Xingfang were overjoyed when they heard the news, and immediately welcomed Liu Heimin into the camp, praised Liu Heimin for his heroism, and regarded the enemy's thousands of horses and thousands of troops as nothing.

"It's not difficult to deal with, but it can't be underestimated."

This is Liu Heimin's evaluation of the rebels' partial division, and then introduced the enemy situation he detected to Liu Changgong and Pei Xingfang, saying that although the enemy's strength is more than 40,000, at least eighty percent of them are ordinary people who have newly joined the rebels, and they are poorly equipped and poorly trained, and they belong to a typical cannon fodder army, and they will play a role in scaring the enemy on the battlefield. However, the rebel side is still composed of five or six thousand troops worth guarding against, mainly composed of the Taiyuan Sui army, the Zuotun guard surrendered troops and the surrendered Sui army from all over the country, equipped with the weapons of the regular army, and because of the high morale of the previous successive victories, the head-to-head battle should pose a certain threat to the Sui army in the eastern capital, which is ninety percent of the new soldiers.

"There's one more thing that must be guarded against." Liu Heimin said again: "I heard those Taiyuan thieves boast that during the Battle of Huoyi, Duan Zhixuan once followed Li Yuan's second son to lead the cavalry to attack the back of our Daxing army, and brutally broke the Daxing army, and said that Duan Zhixuan killed dozens of people with his own hands in that battle, if this incident is true, this Duan Zhixuan should be very good at cavalry assault, and when we fight against him, we must guard against his cavalry attack." ”

"Come on, Brother Zhao Yu is here, see whose cavalry is powerful!" Liu Changgong shouted.

"Damn! Good at cavalry assault? In front of our national army, we dare to claim to be good at cavalry assault?! Zhao Yu also rolled up his sleeves and rubbed his hands, and said viciously: "Call him, let me tell him what a real cavalry assault is!" ”

Of course, Pei Xingfang, who attached great importance to Chen Fuliang's military strategy, did not shout, and asked again: "Second Brother Liu, you are listening to the news in the enemy camp, did the thief army find out that the brother did not come here in person?" ”

"Not yet." Liu Heimin immediately replied: "I also paid attention to this matter, the thief army did not find out, and many of the thief army generals also clamored that they would capture Chen and stay behind and dedicate it to Li Yuan's old man." ”

"That's good." Pei Xingfang was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said to Liu Changgong: "Brother Liu, we should immediately strengthen the city defense of Yiguan, and prepare more equipment to defend the city, and when the thief army finds out that my brother did not come to Yiguan in person, we will definitely launch a breakthrough, and then we will first use the favorable terrain of Yiguan to win a few battles, frustrate the enemy's spirit, and then try to break the enemy." ”

Liu Changgong could still listen to good words, so he immediately nodded in agreement, and immediately arranged for his subordinates to strengthen and repair the city defense. Liu Heimin said to Pei Xingfang again: "Brother Xingfang, the enemy's main force is several times ours, if we want to break the enemy, first of all, it is best to consume part of the enemy's main force and weaken the enemy's combat strength, do you have a way?" ”

"Absolutely." Pei Xingfang said with a smile: "I've been with my brother for so long, he has to learn a little bit of bad water in his stomach, and I have already figured out the way to lure the enemy the day before yesterday." ”

"What's a good idea?" Liu Heimin hurriedly asked.

"General Dugu." Dugu Wudu, who was next to Pei Xing, said with a smile: "General Dugu and Li Yuan are somewhat related, and Brother Liu's temper is notoriously bad. ”

"No wonder brother, you have to deliberately leave some Hanoi soldiers in Yiguan City, high! High! It's really high! ”

Liu Heimin suddenly laughed out loud, and gave Pei Xingfang a thumbs up, even boasting that Pei Xingfang had indeed learned Chen Fuliang's bad stomach, but Liu Changgong and Dugu Wu over there looked at each other, and said at the same time: "What do you mean?" Why can't I understand? ”

The Sui army's action of reinforcing the pass certainly aroused the suspicion of the rebels, but even if the Sui army did not take this action, Duan Zhixuan and others had already vaguely sensed that something was wrong, because the rebel scouts had already found out that the strength of the Sui army in the eastern capital was only about 10,000 people, which was obviously not in line with Chen Fuliang's current status, and Chen Fuliang was now definitely eager to relieve the crisis in Hanoi and withdraw to deal with the main force of Li Yuan's rebels, but the Sui army in the eastern capital set up camp east of Yiguan, which was not conducive to defending and attacking, which was also quite unreasonable. Therefore, Li Yuan's rebels immediately began to investigate the real situation of the Sui army opposite, especially focusing on finding out whether Chen Fuliang had personally come to the battlefield of Yiguan.

As Chen Fuliang said, the Sui army, which is not very popular with the people, does have countless channels for leaking secrets, and only a little more than two days have passed, Duan Zhixuanjun has already detected the real situation of the Sui army from various channels, and knows that Chen Fuliang is actually not coming, and the main general of the Sui army is actually Liu Changgong. Duan Zhixuan, who was furious like thunder, of course, immediately sent troops to continue to attack Yiguan, but it is a pity that not only has a large number of regular troops in the eastern capital been stationed in Yiguan to defend it, but the already easy to defend and difficult to attack Guancheng has also been repaired and reinforced, and Li Yuan's rebels will have to pay several times the price if they want to capture this dangerous pass.

Doomed to be useless, the battle lasted for a day, and the rebel division launched more than a dozen attacks on Yiguan, but they were all defeated by the Sui army in the eastern capital, and the rebel soldiers piled up corpses under the city, but they did not even rush up to Guancheng several times. Duan Zhixuan, Tang Jian and other rebel generals were forced to change their tactics and instead lead their troops to the pass to insult and fight, wanting to lure the grumpy Liu Changgong out of the pass to fight a decisive battle and defeat the Sui army in the field.

It's still useless, Liu Changgong is indeed a little short-tempered, but it's a pity that Liu Changgong has Pei Xingfang and Liu Heimin by his side, two cheeky people, first teamed up to pull Liu Changgong, who was close to the storm, and dragged him back to the camp to calm down, and then sent some scolding masters, climbed the wall to fight against the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of Li Yuan's rebels, from Li Yuan's uncle to Duan Zhixuan's sister-in-law, Pei Xingfang, who learned some fur from Chen Fuliang, also went to the city in person for a time, greeting Duan Zhixuan in the most intimate language, Each of Tang Jian and Zhang Daoyuan's female relatives also assigned the order of the three thieves on the spot to rotate the camp of their wives and mothers, and found straw men to put on women's clothes, write words such as Duan Zhixuan's old lady, and handed them over to the Sui army soldiers to insult in public.

encountered a master of scolding like Pei Xingfang, the scoundrel Duan Zhixuan could still hold on, but Tang Jian and Zhang Daoyuan, who were born in famous families, had blue faces and blue muscles on their foreheads, and when a Sui soldier rode the straw man with the words Tang Jian's old lady on the wall in public, Tang Jian, who couldn't bear it, took his own soldiers to charge, and then quickly escaped back with two feather arrows, and then Duan Zhixuan scolded Tang Jian for his unauthorized actions, and finally retreated.

With a lot of help, just when Duan Zhixuan and others were worried about the Sui army's stubborn defense of Yiguan, on the night of the defeat of the war, a Hanoi soldier suddenly came to Yiguan, claiming to be the henchman of Dugu Wudu, the governor of Hanoi, and had a letter to present to Duan Zhixuan. Duan Zhixuan, Zhang Daoyuan and others heard the great joy, immediately summoned, took the letter and looked at it, but saw Dugu Wudu in the letter to declare, saying that today Liu Changgong returned to the camp to drink and get drunk after being humiliated in Yiguan, punched and kicked himself in every way, as a distant relative of Li Yuan, could not bear such humiliation, and decided to lead the army to surrender to Li Yuan's rebels, and asked Li Yuan's army to send troops to attack Yiguan at the fourth watch of the next night, and he led the Hanoi township soldiers to light a fire in the pass, and opened the gate to welcome the rebels into the pass.

After reading Dugu Wudu's handwritten letter several times, Duan Zhixuan first looked at it suspiciously, and then suddenly slapped the table and shouted: "Bold puppet!" You dare to send a letter of deception to lure our army to send troops at night and fall into your trap! Come on, drag this puppet out and cut it off! ”

"Wronged! Treat unjustly! Wronged! ”

The unlucky messenger hurriedly shouted loudly, but unfortunately Duan Zhixuan's personal soldiers didn't listen at all, and came up and dragged him up and left, and as soon as the messenger came out of the account, Duan Zhixuan immediately gave Zhang Daoyuan a look, Zhang Daoyuan understood, and immediately followed out, observing the reaction of the unlucky messenger when he was tortured, and then Duan Zhixuan immediately smelled a foul smell, and said with a dark smile: "Okay, even the dung is scared out, it should be true." ”

Duan Zhixuan, who is only twenty years old, is indeed very talented, but it is a pity that his opponent Pei Xingfang, who is one year younger than him, is not only more talented, but also has received the guidance of his distant cousin, who once explained in detail to Pei Xingfang a military term that lacks virtue and smokes - death! Inside, high! High! It's really high! ”

Liu Heimin suddenly laughed out loud, and gave Pei Xingfang a thumbs up, even boasting that Pei Xingfang had indeed learned Chen Fuliang's bad stomach, but Liu Changgong and Dugu Wu over there looked at each other, and said at the same time: "What do you mean?" Why can't I understand? ”

The Sui army's action of reinforcing the pass certainly aroused the suspicion of the rebels, but even if the Sui army did not take this action, Duan Zhixuan and others had already vaguely sensed that something was wrong, because the rebel scouts had already found out that the strength of the Sui army in the eastern capital was only about 10,000 people, which was obviously not in line with Chen Fuliang's current status, and Chen Fuliang was now definitely eager to relieve the crisis in Hanoi and withdraw to deal with the main force of Li Yuan's rebels, but the Sui army in the eastern capital set up camp east of Yiguan, which was not conducive to defending and attacking, which was also quite unreasonable.
