Chapter 305: ********
Chen Yingliang's empty city plan was not discovered by Zhai Rang and Li Mi, but was betrayed by the poor people of Gong County, who had long admired the reputation of the Wagang Army to open warehouses everywhere to release grain, and the poor people who were struggling on the death line had long hoped that the Wagang Army would break the Luokou Cang and distribute the mountains of grain there to the people who were about to starve to death, so they had just been coerced by the government to pretend to be officials and soldiers and chased to the edge of the mountain.
It is conceivable that Zhai Rang and Li Mi were shocked and angry when they heard the news, Zhai Rang was so angry that he cut off a big tree with a thick arm, and shouted, "Traitor! A traitor raised by a son of a bitch! actually used a group of ordinary people to pretend to be an army, and the old man actually fell for his trick! The old man is really blind, blind! ”
Li Mi's hands clenched into fists, his ten knuckles turned white, and it took a lot of effort to hold back a sentence, gritting his teeth: "Traitor!" Count you ruthless! ”
"Down the hill! Down! Let's all go down the mountain at once! After the anger, of course, he immediately went down the mountain to charge, the elite of the seven thousand Wagang army had red eyes, their footsteps were like flying, and they roared thunderously to kill down the mountain again, and the slogans of capturing Chen Yingliang's traitors came and went, and there were countless Wagang soldiers who wanted to cut Chen Fuliang with a thousand knives.
There is no suspense, in front of the elite of Wagang who crawled out of the sea of blood in the mountain of corpses, the county commander of Gongxian County, Chai Xiao and those township soldiers under his command couldn't even delay the footsteps of the Wagang Army a little, and even before the Wagang Army was killed, the township soldiers and errand soldiers of Gongxian County had already dispersed in a hurry, and the people of Gongxian County, who had been oppressed by the harsh government, were even more excessive, not only did not help Chai Xiaohe to resist the Wagang Army, but also defected to the Wagang Army one after another. As a result, in the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of local people were around the Wagang Army to help.
The next thing is naturally to re-march to Luokoucang, on the way to Guò local people's introduction, Li Mi also quickly learned that Chen Fuliang had rushed to Luokoucang in advance, considering Chen Fuliang's ability to fight well, and the Eastern Capital reinforcements that are destined to be rushing towards Luokoucang, Li Mi quickly found Zhai Rang and said to Zhai Rang: "King, we have wasted too much time, Luokoucang must have a lot of preparations, we may not be able to take Luokoucang quickly." To be on the safe side, we should divide our troops into two routes, one to attack Luokouchang and the other to carry out the backup plan. If the backup plan is successful, then we will be in a losing position, even if we can't take Luokouchang along the way. ”
"Done!" Zhai Rang agreed, and ordered: "You take two thousand troops to carry out the backup plan, I will go to Luokoucang, take Luokoucang, I will personally skin Chen Yingliang's traitor!" ”
"Be careful, if the situation is not good, please retreat as much as possible." Li Mi agreed, and told Zhai Rang again, and then went down to organize two thousand elites to act alone to implement the backup plan for precaution and preparation.
…………
At the same time, on the side of Luokou Cang, 1,500 defenders, 1,000 reinforcements from Tiger Prison Pass and more than 200 personal soldiers have all retreated to Cangcheng under the command of Chen Yingliang. In short, in view of these weaknesses and defects, Chen Fuliang also quickly arranged a strategy to defend against the enemy, so that the defenders piled up a large number of flammable materials behind the city gate, so that they could set fire to the city gate at any time, 2,000 defenders went to the wall to defend the palace, 500 people served as reserves, and the supervision team was served by Chen Fuliang's personal army, and the supervision team also undertook the task of fighting fires and filling leaks at any time.
"Soldiers, don't be afraid! The reinforcements of the Eastern Capital are marching towards Luokoucang, and the Tiger Prison Pass will definitely send us reinforcements again, as long as we hold on until dawn, there will be no danger! Defend Luokoucang, I will go to His Royal Highness the King of Yue, and give you double the reward! Those who retreat from the battle will be killed! By the way, I would like to tell you again, the Wagang thieves hate our government soldiers the most, and even if they surrender, they will be buried alive! If you don't want to die, you will fight for Lao Tzu and the Wagang thief! ”
Let the soldiers spread this threatening and luring words, the southwest of Luokoucang is already a sea of fire, countless torches are like a tide to Luokoucang, seeing this piece of torches that are denser than the stars of the Milky Way, the defenders of Luokoucang, who have never been on the battlefield, inevitably have some weak legs, and the guard Deng Chengchun also trembled his teeth, and said a very frustrating word, "Chen stays behind, the thieves are huge, can we hold it?" ”
"If you can't keep it, I'll kill your whole family!" Chen Fuliang said coldly: "If you let the Wagang thieves rush into Cangcheng, I will kill you immediately, and then kill your whole family!" ”
Seeing that Chen Fuliang's face was blue and hideous, Deng Chengchun swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then hurriedly howled frantically at his subordinates, "Brothers, stand up straight for me!" If the Wagang thieves dare to come, they will fight with them, if anyone dares to retreat and escape, Lao Tzu will kill him with his own hands! Do you hear that? Stand up straight for Lao Tzu and fight with the Wagang thieves! ”
As Chen Fuliang expected, in order to gain time, the Wagang army really concentrated the army in the southwest corner, and launched an attack to the south and west of Luokoucang at the same time.
Under the cover of the archers of the Wagang Army, the people who served as the vanguard strode forward with stones and trees, shouted and rushed to the barang wall, responsible for throwing the trees and stones under the wall to build a ladder, and hundreds of Wagang soldiers were divided into two teams, carrying the crashing wood to hit the southwest Cangmen. Chen Fuliang immediately ordered the release of arrows to suppress, intending to use long-range weapons to inflict casualties on the people in the forward, intimidate the people from stepping forward, and reduce the pressure on the warehouse wall.
Chen Fuliang's abacus played very well, but unfortunately the order was not implemented very effectively, as if the defense of the eastern capital of the year reappeared, the defenders of Luokoucang, who had never been on the battlefield, were so nervous that they couldn't even draw their bows, and the arrows released fell to the ground one after another in the middle of the way, not only did not pose much threat to the enemy, but on the contrary, it also boosted the enemy's morale, and led the people of cannon fodder to rush forward faster. In addition to scolding, Chen Fuliang had no choice but to order his own personal army to temporarily serve as archers, draw strong bows and shoot sharp arrows, which posed an actual threat to the enemy.
Feather arrows in the sky are like locusts, and the torches on the ground are surging, in order to get rid of the tyranny and harshness, in order not to starve to death, the cannon fodder people have sacrificed their lives to step forward, with firewood and straw bales, and stride forward with hoes and iron forks, even if they lack experience and are unfamiliar with the unfamiliar, the speed of the charge is not fast, these people still have amazing courage to storm the barn wall, and the defenders on the barn wall desperately release arrows to stop, but they still can't let these people collapse and flee like moths to the fire, and these people rushed to the wall. Immediately wielded a hoe and worked hard to dig the rammed earth wall, in a vain attempt to dig down the wall to help the Wagang army enter the warehouse.
Relying on the cover of these people, the flying echelon served by the soldiers of the Wagang Army also began to step forward, and they deliberately did not mix in the crowd without torches, so as to avoid being discovered by the defenders in advance and attracted bows and arrows to concentrate on suppression, as a result, Zhai Rang's hand was also very effective, until the flying echelon of the Wagang Army approached within five zhang of the cangwall, and the inexperienced Luokoucang defenders issued a panicked warning, and then without waiting for the archery team to be covered, the light and flexible bamboo flying ladders had already leaned on the cangwall one after another, and the Wagang soldiers who were in a hundred battles stepped up the ladder, directly hitting the top of the silo wall.
The brutal hand-to-hand combat unfolded at the top of the low barn wall, the defenders used axes to split, hammer smash, and hit with wood, desperately destroying the Wagang Army flying ladder, but it still could not completely stop the Wagang soldiers from rushing up the barn wall, and after each Wagang Army soldier rushed onto the barn wall, it usually caused several deaths and injuries to the defenders. The west gate and the south gate are also fierce battles, the Wagang army's striking wood to hit the warehouse gate as a sound, the defenders on the wall desperately smashed the stone to block, but the effect was not great, the experienced Wagang soldiers can always use the guò wind to flexibly avoid the stone, even if they are hit as long as the injury is not serious, they will not retreat, and occasionally the dead, but also immediately have descendants to make up, the morale and fighting spirit are far better than the defenders of the city.
What relieved Chen Fuliang was that the royal power team sent by Pei Renji was not bad, and it stubbornly carried the frontal battlefield at the South Gate, and the number of times that the Wagang Army could rush to the South Gate warehouse wall was obviously much less, but the Deng Chengchun team on the West Gate battlefield has always made Chen Fuliang worried, and Deng Chengchun, who didn't know how to become the general of Luokoucang, didn't know if he had trained the army at peacetime, and his subordinates said in front of the Wagang Army that they could only be described as a mess, with neither morale nor skillful cooperation. Many times let the soldiers of the Wagang Army rush to the warehouse wall, and each time they had to pay several times the casualties to kill and retreat the enemy, forcing Chen Fuliang to come to the battlefield of Ximen in person, personally command and supervise the battle, and be ready to wipe Deng Chengchun's ass at any time.
"When you go back, you must change all the defenders of Luokoucang! Especially this Deng Chengchun! This is the thought that Chen Fuliang gritted his teeth in his heart.
Zhai Rang, who was experienced in the battlefield, also soon discovered the weakness of the west gate of Luokoucang, and immediately invested a thousand reserves to the west gate, and attacked the western section of the Luokoucang Pass Wall with all his might, but because of the lack of light and too many people under the wall, it was not until the reserves of the Wagang army rushed to the city wall that Chen Fuliang found that the Wagang army had sent the main elite to the Ximen battlefield, considering that the soldiers under Deng Chengchun were too bad and incompetent, and had no choice, Chen Fuliang could only order the Yingyanglang of Jishan Mansion to immediately dispatch the reserves led by Zhang Jixun, Reinforcements to the battlefield of Simon.
Zhang Jixun's reserve table made Chen Fuliang very surprised, it is also a second-line army, although the five hundred soldiers brought by Zhang Jixun also have the weakness of lack of battlefield experience, the will to fight is no less than any first-line elite, the whole army is in distress, even after being injured, he will not retreat, and even a seriously injured soldier holding the Wagang soldier rolling down the warehouse wall and dying together, Zhang Jixun himself is also a pioneer, personally wielding a knife to kill the enemy, Leading the soldiers to firmly withstand the impact of Wagang's elite, the battlefield table is simply a world of difference compared with his colleague Deng Chengchun.
"Talent! I can't imagine that there can be such a talent in this fart oil crotch Luokou warehouse! Chen Fuliang was very pleasantly surprised-of course, if Chen Fuliang could know that after Luokoucang was taken by the Wagang Army in history, Zhang Jixun led these hundreds of people to be surrounded by hundreds of thousands of Wagang troops on the adjacent platform for more than half a year, and not a single soldier surrendered, and the whole army was wiped out until the water source was finally cut off, then Chen Fuliang would not be so strange.
At this time, Zhai Rang had also discovered that the western wall of Luokoucang had suddenly strengthened its defense, and guessed that Chen Fuliang must have invested in the reserves, and saw that the time was already more than half of the fourth watch, and there was not much time left for him, Zhai Rang gritted his teeth, and simply ordered a comprehensive general attack, and personally led the army to charge, and the key impact target was still the west gate of Luokoucang, which was not good before-even if there were strong reinforcements, those fleshy foot soldiers before were still huge flaws.
The offensive and defensive battles have entered a white-hot battle, especially on the west gate of Luokou Cang, hundreds of flying ladders continue to build the warehouse wall, Wagang soldiers continue to climb the ladder, and the Wagang soldiers without bamboo ladders rely on their dexterity, and even directly climb the warehouse wall with their bare hands and climb the wall with human ladders. The slogan of killing into Luokou Cang and eating his mother came and went one after another in the shouting and killing, and the people under the warehouse wall were also one after another, constantly digging the earth wall that was only rammed a few months ago, and individual sections of the wall had even been dug out of a nearly one-zhang deep soil pit, and the defenders on the wall shouted and screamed, but they were helpless.
If it weren't for the excellent appearance of Zhang Jixun's army, if it weren't for the fact that Chen Fuliang brought more than 200 veterans of Chen Peng, who had been battle-hardened, Luokoucang would have been broken by the Wagang army as in history, but even so, the Ximen side was still in danger, and the elite of Wagang with strong combat effectiveness continued to rush onto the warehouse wall, constantly bringing casualties to the defenders, and the flesh foot soldiers under the command of Deng Chengchun kept fleeing to the warehouse with pale faces, but the supervision team under Chen Fuliang had no time to find the block. All of them were already wielding knives into battle, fighting bloody battles with the elite of Wagang who were constantly on the wall, and Chen Fuliang himself was also wielding a knife to kill the enemy under the protection of Sangouzi and Wei Chi Jingde, and he could no longer spare his hands to command the battle.
The west gate was already vulnerable to the Wagang army, but fortunately, the defenders lit the fire inside the gate in time, and blocked the enemy from entering the warehouse with flames.
A huge number of people have gradually spread to the north gate and the east gate, the defenders in that area are crying wolves, in a hurry, many people are completely at a loss, Chen Fuliang, who has been pinned down in the main battlefield of the West Gate, can not free up his hands to control zhì, fortunately, the people lack siege weapons, can only desperately dig the warehouse wall can not directly attack the warehouse, it is not difficult to deal with, the distribution of the two battlefields of the Tiger Prison Guan soldiers also played the role of the backbone in time, there is not much danger for the time being.
Zhai Rang also personally killed under the warehouse wall, and was less than 100 steps away from Chen Yingliang's handsome banner, but unfortunately the two bamboo ladders beside Zhai Rang were knocked over by the wood one after another, and Zhai Rang failed to find the opportunity to rush to the wall and kill the enemy with a knife in person.
The sky gradually brightened, just as the dead bodies under the wall were gradually piled up half a person high, and the fragile wall was about to be dug through by the people, the familiar military song voice that Chen Fuliang had been waiting for a long time finally came from the west.
Of course, Zhai Rang also sent scouts to reconnoiter the direction of the Eastern Capital, and at first heard that the first batch of reinforcements from the Eastern Capital did not come much, Zhai Rang still had a fluke and did not retreat immediately, just divided more than 1,000 elites to intercept it, but when he saw those iconic white robes, Zhai Rang scolded the scouts for being incompetent and did not report clearly, and then he had no choice but to issue a retreat order, and organized the army to retreat in a hurry towards the way from which he came-the Wagang army was already in strict condition, and it was lightly armoured, and the armor soldiers were scarce. On the plain, it was a hard fight with a heavy cavalry like the Baoguo Army, it was a death in vain, and of course Zhai Rang understood this truth.
The Baoguo Army wanted to launch a pursuit, but was stopped by the personal soldiers sent by Chen Fuliang with a password, Chen Fuliang asked the pro-soldiers to report to the ****, the direction of the Wagang Army fled to the road conditions were very poor, not suitable for the heavy riding activities of the **** at all, and it was also too close to the mountainous area, once the Wagang Army fled into the mountains and forests, the **** would take them and no longer have any way, rather than pursuing in vain, it was better to ensure the safety of the Luokoucang important place first.
It was also when he saw the main force of the Wagang Army fleeing away, Chen Fuliang suddenly found that something was not quite right, that is, the number of troops of the Wagang Army fleeing south was obviously a little small, it seemed that there were only more than 4,000 people, last night in a hurry, although the personal soldiers sent by Chen Fuliang did not find out the number of troops of the Wagang Army, but when he met with Zhai Rang and Li Mi, Chen Fuliang had preliminarily concluded that the strength of the Wagang Army was between 6,000 and 8,000, and last night's Luokoucang defense battle was fierce. The Luokoucang defenders, who lacked combat effectiveness, would never have caused such a large number of casualties to the Wagang army, and most of the corpses under the city were ordinary people in rags, so Chen Fuliang immediately concluded that a part of the Wagang army had disappeared!
"Where did those Wagang troops go?" Chen Fuliang calculated in his conscience, and after a little memory, Chen Fuliang's face suddenly changed slightly, because Chen Fuliang suddenly remembered that in the fierce battle of Luokoucang last night, he had never seen Li Mi or his banner, and yesterday's tactics of attacking warehouses were rigid and stiff, and they were completely piled up with the lives of the people as cannon fodder, and did not take advantage of the individual combat effectiveness of the Wagang Army to perform a flexible tactic of harassing and attacking other battlefields to find a breakthrough, which is definitely not Li Mi's style of using troops!
"Is it ......?" Thinking of a certain possibility, Chen Fuliang's face immediately changed, and he quickly shouted: "Come on!" Hurry up and go to the Tiger Prison Pass, and when we meet our reinforcements, tell them to return to the Tiger Prison Pass immediately, without the slightest delay! Fast! Fast! ”
The relatives and soldiers who were already covered in blood responded to the promise, and Wei Chi Jingde suddenly pointed to the east and said: "Stay behind, it seems that there is no need anymore, there is an official army from the east, it should be sent by Hujiao Pass to reinforce us." ”
Turning his head at a flying speed, Chen Fuliang immediately saw that the road leading to the Tiger Prison Pass in the east was full of dust and smoke, and there was indeed an army rushing towards this side, Chen Fuliang did not dare to slack off, and quickly rushed down to the city, riding a war horse to meet the reinforcements in person, but unfortunately several warehouse doors were blocked by flammable materials, Chen Fuliang couldn't get out at all, and then finally moved away from the blockage and rushed out of the warehouse gate, the Baoguo army had come to the south gate to assemble and wait, and at the same time, the reinforcements from the Tiger Prison Pass had also come to the near place.
When he took a closer look at the reinforcements at Tiger Prison Pass, Chen Fuliang's face was not pale, but completely dead, and the main flag of the support army was actually Pei Renji's Henan Arrest Envoy Banner! And what made Chen Fuliang grit his teeth even more was that the number of reinforcements brought by Pei Renji definitely exceeded the 3,000 reinforcements he requested, at least about 5,000!
With a gloomy face, Guo Feng, Chen Ci and Zhao Yu and other **** generals had already come to the front to salute, reporting the time and route of the self-army, indicating that the self-army had not delayed for half a time, Chen Fuliang was silent, and then Pei Renji's familiar face quickly appeared in front of Chen Fuliang, and asked very anxiously: "Virtuous nephew, the Wagang thieves didn't enter the warehouse city, right?" Where did Zhai Rang and Li Mi go? ”
"Father, the Wagang thief ran away there." Pei Xingyan hurriedly pointed to the direction confirmed by the Wagang Army, and said: "The left guard said that the road in that location is not good, and it is very close to the mountainous area, so it is not suitable for **** activities, so he didn't let us catch up." ”
"Okay, I'll chase it." Pei Renji immediately said: "I brought the elites of Qi County, they are all good at mountain warfare, and I will chase them personally." ”
"What are you chasing?" Since the crossing, Chen Fuliang, who has always been hypocritical in respecting the old and loving the young, roared at the elders for the first time, or yelled with a blue face: "Who called you here? Who told you to bring so many troops? Didn't the messenger I sent make it clear to you, tell you to send 3,000 troops, you can't come! Why don't you listen?! ”
The first time he saw Chen Fuliang so angry, all the generals of the army were shocked, Pei Renji was also completely stunned, he didn't know that he had offended this distant nephew, Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin and other generals behind Pei Renji were also a little dumbfounded, but Chen Fuliang yelled again: "What are you still doing?" Give me back right away! Go back and stick to the Tiger Prison! The main force of the Wagang thieves is outside the pass, and you dare to leave your post without permission, are you crazy or stupid? ”
There was already some contradiction with Chen Fuliang, and then he was so roared and roared by Chen Fuliang in front of so many people, Pei Renji's face suddenly turned dark, and Qin Qiong over there saw that the situation was not good, so he hurriedly said: "Chen Liushou, Pei Dashuai heard that Zhai Rang and Li Mi personally led the army to attack Luokoucang, and I heard that you only brought more than 200 people to rescue Luokoucang, and I was worried about your safety, so I personally led the army to the rescue, and he also had good intentions." In addition, we have also made sufficient arrangements on the side of the Tiger Prison Pass, and it is impossible for the Wagang thieves outside the pass to endanger the ......, whether they attack or sneak attack. ”
"The main force of the Wagang thieves outside the gate, you have taken precautions, but what about the inside of the gate?" Chen Fuliang roared hysterically, "Haven't you ever thought that the Wagang thief who detoured behind the Tiger Prison Pass might attack the Tiger Prison Pass from behind?!" ”
Hearing this possibility, Pei Renji's already blackened face immediately turned pale, and Chen Fuliang shouted loudly: "Pei Renji! What are you doing all the time? Why don't you go back soon? If the tiger prison is safe and sound, I will kowtow to you to make amends! If there is anything wrong with the Tiger Prison Pass, I see how you can explain it to His Majesty the Emperor?! ”
Pei Renji didn't dare to delay, turned the horse's head and yelled, and ordered the army to return to the division immediately, Luo Shixin and Qin Qiong and other generals also hurriedly followed with pale faces, and the reinforcements brought by Pei Renji soon changed from the rear team to the front team, and rushed back towards the way they came. Over there, Pei Xingyan saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly bowed his hand to Chen Fuliang and said, "Chen stays behind, please allow the last general to lead a national army to assist my father." ”
Guo Feng and Chen Ci also took the initiative to ask for help, expressing their willingness to lead the army to help Pei Renji, but Chen Fuliang roared with a blue face: "Don't go, leave it for me!" There is an elite Wagang thief who suddenly disappeared, and no one dares to guarantee whether they went to the Tiger Prison Pass, or ambushed near Luokoucang, and the strength of the **** was originally only four regiments, and all of them must be left to ensure the safety of Luokoucang! ”
Seeing Chen Fuliang so fierce and rude for the first time, Guo Feng and Chen Ci and other generals didn't dare to insist, and hurriedly sang the promise, but Pei Renji's face was even paler, and his voice trembled and asked: "Stay behind, will the Tiger Prison Pass really be in danger?" ”
Chen Fuliang lowered his head and said weakly: "I hope my guess is wrong, I would rather kowtow to your father to make amends and bear the guilt than fall into the hands of the Wagang thieves." ”
When Shen Shi was about to arrive in the afternoon, when the light and heavy infantry of the Eastern Capital rushed to Luokoucang to reinforce at the same time, Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin and other generals also returned to Luokoucang with the unconscious Pei Renji, and with them came back together, there were many remnants of the Tiger Prison Pass defeated, and He Yanyu, who was wounded, told Chen Fuliang with tears in his eyes, saying that Pei Renji had been gone for about an hour, and the main force of the Wagang Army outside the pass suddenly launched a strong attack on the front of the Tiger Prison Pass, and the defenders of the Tiger Prison Pass opened the west gate and sent messengers to Pei Renji to warn the police. Suddenly, there were more than 20 thieves who were ambushed on both sides of the city gate to kill the gate soldiers, and then a large number of thieves took the opportunity to kill into the city, and also used gunpowder bottles in the melee, as a help to open the east gate of the Tiger Prison Pass, to welcome the main force of the Wagang Army into the city, and then when Pei Renji returned to the division to the Tiger Prison Pass, the Tiger Prison Pass had already been completely controlled by the huge number of Wagang Army.
"The ambassador originally wanted to immediately counterattack and recapture the Tiger Prison Pass, but the Wagang thieves closed the gate and did not come out, and we did not prepare siege weapons, so there was no way to recapture the city." Qin Qiong also reported to Chen Fuliang in frustration: "The Wagang thieves are still shouting neatly in the city, thank you Ambassador Pei for the gift, Ambassador Pei was so angry that he vomited blood and fell into a coma on the spot, we had to retreat, and the Wagang thieves also took the opportunity to pursue again, but fortunately, they were killed and retreated by the Luo Shixin brothers." ”
Chen Fuliang was silent, looking at Pei Renji, who was still unconscious with blood stains at the corner of his mouth, Chen Fuliang suddenly sighed, and said: "Uncle Pei, you are really ******** to drag me on your hind legs, the Tiger Prison Pass is occupied by Wagang thieves, which is equivalent to giving the tactical initiative of the Eastern Capital battlefield to the Wagang thieves. ”
Hearing Chen Fuliang's words, all the generals of the Sui army were silent, and after Chen Fuliang hung his head for a moment, his heart suddenly moved, and he hurriedly shouted: "Quick, let me out of the wind immediately, just say that I caught Zhai Rang dog thief!" Said that I captured Zhai Rang alive! Let the more people know about this news, the better, the speed should be fast, we don't have much time! "surname, so Chen Fuliang immediately concluded that a part of the Wagang army disappeared!
"Where did those Wagang troops go?" Chen Fuliang calculated in his conscience, and after a little memory, Chen Fuliang's face suddenly changed slightly, because Chen Fuliang suddenly remembered that in the fierce battle of Luokoucang last night, he had never seen Li Mi or his banner, and yesterday's tactics of attacking warehouses were rigid and stiff, and they were completely piled up with the lives of the people as cannon fodder, and did not take advantage of the individual combat effectiveness of the Wagang Army to perform a flexible tactic of harassing and attacking other battlefields to find a breakthrough, which is definitely not Li Mi's style of using troops!
"Is it ......?" Thinking of a certain possibility, Chen Fuliang's face immediately changed, and he quickly shouted: "Come on!" Hurry up and go to the Tiger Prison Pass, and when we meet our reinforcements, tell them to return to the Tiger Prison Pass immediately, without the slightest delay! Fast! Fast! ”
The relatives and soldiers who were already covered in blood responded to the promise, and Wei Chi Jingde suddenly pointed to the east and said: "Stay behind, it seems that there is no need anymore, there is an official army from the east, it should be sent by Hujiao Pass to reinforce us." ”
Turning his head at a flying speed, Chen Fuliang immediately saw that the road leading to the Tiger Prison Pass in the east was full of dust and smoke, and there was indeed an army rushing towards this side, Chen Fuliang did not dare to slack off, and quickly rushed down to the city, riding a war horse to meet the reinforcements in person, but unfortunately several warehouse doors were blocked by flammable materials, Chen Fuliang couldn't get out at all, and then finally moved away from the blockage and rushed out of the warehouse gate, the Baoguo army had come to the south gate to assemble and wait, and at the same time, the reinforcements from the Tiger Prison Pass had also come to the near place.
When he took a closer look at the reinforcements at Tiger Prison Pass, Chen Fuliang's face was not pale, but completely dead, and the main flag of the support army was actually Pei Renji's Henan Arrest Envoy Banner! And what made Chen Fuliang grit his teeth even more was that the number of reinforcements brought by Pei Renji definitely exceeded the 3,000 reinforcements he requested, at least about 5,000!
With a gloomy face, Guo Feng, Chen Ci and Zhao Yu and other **** generals had already come to the front to salute, reporting the time and route of the self-army, indicating that the self-army had not delayed for half a time, Chen Fuliang was silent, and then Pei Renji's familiar face quickly appeared in front of Chen Fuliang, and asked very anxiously: "Virtuous nephew, the Wagang thieves didn't enter the warehouse city, right?"

"Father, the Wagang thief ran away there." Pei Xingyan hurriedly pointed to the direction confirmed by the Wagang Army, and said: "The left guard said that the road in that location is not good, and it is very close to the mountainous area, so it is not suitable for **** activities, so he didn't let us catch up." ”

In addition, we have also made sufficient arrangements on the side of the Tiger Prison Pass, and it is impossible for the Wagang thieves outside the pass to endanger the ......, whether they attack or sneak attack. ”
"The main force of the Wagang thieves outside the gate, you have taken precautions, but what about the inside of the gate?" Chen Fuliang roared hysterically, "Haven't you ever thought that the Wagang thief who detoured behind the Tiger Prison Pass might attack the Tiger Prison Pass from behind?!" ”
Hearing this possibility, Pei Renji's already blackened face immediately turned pale, and Chen Fuliang shouted loudly: "Pei Renji! What are you doing all the time? Why don't you go back soon?

Pei Renji didn't dare to delay, turned the horse's head and yelled, and ordered the army to return to the division immediately, Luo Shixin and Qin Qiong and other generals also hurriedly followed with pale faces, and the reinforcements brought by Pei Renji soon changed from the rear team to the front team, and rushed back towards the way they came. Over there, Pei Xingyan saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly bowed his hand to Chen Fuliang and said, "Chen stays behind, please allow the last general to lead a national army to assist my father." ”
Guo Feng and Chen Ci also took the initiative to ask for help, expressing their willingness to lead the army to help Pei Renji, but Chen Fuliang roared with a blue face: "Don't go, leave it for me!" There is an elite Wagang thief who suddenly disappeared, and no one dares to guarantee whether they went to the Tiger Prison Pass, or ambushed near Luokoucang, and the strength of the **** was originally only four regiments, and all of them must be left to ensure the safety of Luokoucang! ”
Seeing Chen Fuliang so fierce and rude for the first time, Guo Feng and Chen Ci and other generals didn't dare to insist, and hurriedly sang the promise, but Pei Renji's face was even paler, and his voice trembled and asked: "Stay behind, will the Tiger Prison Pass really be in danger?" ”
Chen Fuliang lowered his head and said weakly: "I hope my guess is wrong, I would rather kowtow to your father to make amends and bear the guilt than fall into the hands of the Wagang thieves." ”
When Shen Shi was about to arrive in the afternoon, when the light and heavy infantry of the Eastern Capital rushed to Luokoucang to reinforce at the same time, Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin and other generals also returned to Luokoucang with the unconscious Pei Renji, and with them came back together, there were many remnants of the Tiger Prison Pass defeated, and He Yanyu, who was wounded, told Chen Fuliang with tears in his eyes, saying that Pei Renji had been gone for about an hour, and the main force of the Wagang Army outside the pass suddenly launched a strong attack on the front of the Tiger Prison Pass, and the defenders of the Tiger Prison Pass opened the west gate and sent messengers to Pei Renji to warn the police. Suddenly, there were more than 20 thieves who were ambushed on both sides of the city gate to kill the gate soldiers, and then a large number of thieves took the opportunity to kill into the city, and also used gunpowder bottles in the melee, as a help to open the east gate of the Tiger Prison Pass, to welcome the main force of the Wagang Army into the city, and then when Pei Renji returned to the division to the Tiger Prison Pass, the Tiger Prison Pass had already been completely controlled by the huge number of Wagang Army.
"The ambassador originally wanted to immediately counterattack and recapture the Tiger Prison Pass, but the Wagang thieves closed the gate and did not come out, and we did not prepare siege weapons, so there was no way to recapture the city." Qin Qiong also reported to Chen Fuliang in frustration: "The Wagang thieves are still shouting neatly in the city, thank you Ambassador Pei for the gift, Ambassador Pei was so angry that he vomited blood and fell into a coma on the spot, we had to retreat, and the Wagang thieves also took the opportunity to pursue again, but fortunately, they were killed and retreated by the Luo Shixin brothers." ”
Chen Fuliang was silent, looking at Pei Renji, who was still unconscious with blood stains at the corner of his mouth, Chen Fuliang suddenly sighed, and said: "Uncle Pei, you are really ******** to drag me on your hind legs, the Tiger Prison Pass is occupied by Wagang thieves, which is equivalent to giving the tactical initiative of the Eastern Capital battlefield to the Wagang thieves. ”
Hearing Chen Fuliang's words, all the generals of the Sui army were silent, and after Chen Fuliang hung his head for a moment, his heart suddenly moved, and he hurriedly shouted: "Quick, let me out of the wind immediately, just say that I caught Zhai Rang dog thief!" Said that I captured Zhai Rang alive! Let the more people know about this news, the better, the speed should be fast, we don't have much time! ”
