After giving Dou Jiande a blow to the head, in the next day, Xia Jun entered the mudflats of a dilemma. The mountain road in front of the Tiger Prison Pass is narrow, and there are a few generals in the Tang Army to guard it. In addition, the battle in Luoyang was not tight, so the Tang Army's backup troops were also replenished.

The dream man of the unknown team also followed Yu Wenshi and came to the Tiger Prison Pass, and the three teams began to enter a white-hot competition for the battle of Yu Chang, which was far hotter than the battle between the Tang army and the Xia army.

In order to avoid the fact that the two teams were in an alliance, and at the same time, they inevitably fell into the pretext of forming a party for personal gain, Sima Fuqiang and Huang Zhi tried not to get too close to Zhan Musi as much as possible, but just nodded to each other when they met, looking like ordinary colleagues in the army. But several people knew that there would be fierce competition with that team next, and they all followed the pre-agreed content, and the Donghai team fully cooperated with the Tianshan team to support them in the position.

A few days later, the Tiger Prison Pass ushered in the first attack of the Xia army, due to the limited terrain of the Tiger Prison Pass, not to mention the use of large siege equipment, it is difficult to even deploy troops, Dou Jiande just sent thousands of men and horses, piled up on the mountain road in front of the pass. The siege party was limited by the terrain, forming a long serpent that meandered into the distance.

After Li Shimin took everyone to look at the tiger prison for a while, he pointed to the inactive Xia soldiers under the city, and turned his head to look at the generals behind him, "This rabble is also, but there are a hundred horsemen to break it, who wants to fight?" ”

Zhan Musi had been waiting for King Qin's words for a long time, and immediately took a step forward, and said in his standard Chinese voice, "The last general is willing to go!" ”

The captain of the unknown team, who called himself the Black Wolf, also quickly stood up at this time and expressed his willingness to fight.

Seeing that the black wolf also stood up, Huang Zhi hurriedly pushed the captain of the East China Sea.

Although Sima Fuqiang didn't understand what Huang Zhi meant for a while, he immediately opened his mouth to compete for the place to play.

Li Shimin was naturally very happy that his subordinates were so active in asking for battle, but the three generals in front of him had their own subordinates, representing Li Shiji, Qin Qiong, Yu Wenshi and the three generals, and he was a little difficult to do for a while, and it was not good to send anyone out.

At this time, Huang Zhi also took a step forward, "There will be a suggestion at the end, please ask King Qin for permission." ”

Li Shimin looked at this general who could always bring him a different sense of intimacy, nodded subconsciously, and agreed to his unspoken proposal.

Huang Zhi said unhurriedly, "Since all the generals are high-spirited, it is better for these three people to lead their own soldiers and fight together, which is like a superior means and a tall and ugly one." ”

Although he intuitively realized that there were still some stories that were not humane to outsiders in this battle, Li Shimin still consulted the opinions of the three of them, and after hearing the answers that Zhan Musi and Sima Fuqiang had expressed their approval, the black wolf also had to accept this plan.

"That being the case, the three of you and the others will each point dozens of people to fight the Xia army together and fight the momentum of my Tang Dynasty heroes!" Li Shimin gave an order, announcing the prelude to the contribution competition of the three dream teams.

The captains of the three teams hurried out of the city to gather their men and the soldiers who accompanied them.

Taking advantage of the close distance with the two members of the East China Sea team, James Mousi quietly asked, "Shixin, what the hell are you doing?" ”

Huang Zhi didn't turn his head, still looking straight ahead, but replied, "Two to one, we have the advantage." Rest assured, we will fully support you in your ascendancy. ”

Since the camps of the two teams are adjacent to each other, there is still a long way to go together, and Zhan Musi still asked uneasily. "So how? Once the fight starts, will you still be able to suppress your combat power? ”

Zhan Musi's worry is not unreasonable, when it comes to the real battlefield, the slightest carelessness will pay the price of his life, even if it is a top general of the S rank like Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin, he has to fight with all his strength. This kind of thing only exists in friendly exchanges.

Sima Fuqiang was also very curious about this question, and he also wanted to know how Huang Zhi was going to help the Tianshan team in this situation.

Huang Zhi obviously had a bamboo in his chest, and replied unhurriedly, "When we go to the battlefield later, you are responsible for commanding, and we will follow your instructions." If you play well, the head work is yours. ”

"Why is that?" James didn't understand.

"Those who work hard govern people, and those who work hard govern people." Huang Zhi's answer was an ancient sentence in "Warring States Policy".

"What do you mean?" Zhan Musi's ancient literary attainments are obviously not as good as Huang Zhi imagined.

Sima Fuqiang had already understood at this time, and couldn't help but ask Captain Tianshan, "You don't understand ancient Chinese?" So how do you go about this history? ”

Zhan Musi glanced at him, "Don't you know that there is such a thing as a vernacular twenty-four history now?" ”

was robbed by the other party like this, Sima Fuqiang was speechless, he has always read the original ancient texts of the 24th History, and then combined with some local chronicles where the ancient battlefields were located, as well as the chronicles and epitaphs of some famous generals, etc., to synthesize various historical materials to study history.

If the level of understanding of the history of war between the two is assessed by the skill level of the dream world, Sima Fuqiang is in the top S rank, and Zhan Musi can have a D rank and laugh off his big teeth, which is obviously inferior to Huang Zhi's C to B ranks.

Huang Zhi saw that the captain was not interested in explaining the ancient text for Zhan Musi, a rookie, so he had to explain his doubts in person, "The meaning of this ancient text is that the person who uses his brain is responsible for managing people, and the person who works hard is the life of being called, and in the end, most of the credit is still taken away by the 'laborer'." ”

"I understood if you said that." Jamus just doesn't understand ancient Chinese, and it's not that he doesn't understand the difference between hard work and hard work. This is not only a wise saying summed up by the ancient Chinese, but also a universal principle.

At this time, Li Shiji's camp had already arrived, and the two members of the East China Sea team turned straight in, without looking at Zhan Musi from beginning to end, as if the three of them were not all the way.

James picked up his pace excitedly and beckoned his teammates to play.

After about a stick of incense, three teams of dream people gathered at the head of the Tiger Prison Wall, and at the same time brought dozens of personal soldiers belonging to Li Shiji, Qin Qiong and Yu Wenshi, a total of less than 100 people.

Li Shimin was obviously very accustomed to this kind of combat method of defeating the strong with the weak, and he was not worried about whether these three teams would win because the Xia army outside the Guanwai had thousands of men, but confidently ordered these three teams to go out of the customs to face the battle.

Sima Fuqiang didn't know who the leading general of the Xia army was, anyway, he was either a nobody or cannon fodder. Seeing that the Tang army was willing to take the initiative to go out of the pass, this unknown general was naturally happy, and he would never believe that the thousands of men and horses under his command could not defeat the Tang army with fewer people than him, so he restrained his subordinates to withdraw a certain distance in order to let the Tang army get out of the pass smoothly.

Seeing this situation, Sima Fuqiang hurriedly walked past Zhan Musi and reminded in a low voice, "Later, when you go out of the gate, shout loudly as soon as possible, let everyone take advantage of the opportunity of the other party's retreat to charge, and then our two teams will go together, and you won't be able to run away today." ”

Jamus also realized that this was the best way to go, and nodded quietly, indicating that he understood.

A moment later, the door of the Tiger Prison opened, and the three teams lined up in six columns, starting with the strongest combat power of the dream man. The two columns in the center are the Tianshan team, the left is the black wolf's team, and the Donghai team is naturally in the two columns on the far right.

As soon as the door was opened, confirming that Li Shimin was looking here, Zhan Musi immediately shouted, "Take advantage of the great opportunity for the Xia army to retreat, everyone will charge with me and catch them off guard!" ”

The Tianshan team and the Donghai team, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately responded loudly, and at the same time rushed forward, leaving the black wolf and his team who could not react behind.

The black wolf hesitated, although he didn't understand why the Donghai team was so obedient, but he obviously didn't want to follow the horse of Zhan Musi, so he followed slowly and leisurely, refusing to cooperate with the actions of the two teams. He didn't know that not far behind him, Li Shimin was frowning and looking at him, and the dissatisfaction in his heart had quietly sprouted.

Noticing that the black wolf did not keep up, the minds of the two teams immediately rejoiced, and without saying much, they stepped up the speed of the forward rush. The short distance that Xia Jun gave up was shortened to the point of hand-to-hand combat by the two teams of dreamers in the blink of an eye.

The nameless general dared to charge his army when he saw these sixty horsemen, and he was smug that these men had come to die. Who knew that in a flash, his tragedy was staged, or the end of the play was ushered in before it could be staged.

The Tianshan team and the Donghai team naturally started with their strongest combat power, that is, Hu Niu and Zhang Wei, two A-rank masters. The two had long identified the general of the Xia Army who did not know whether he was alive or dead, and listed him as the first target.

When the distance was enough for the two of them to perform their kung fu, Zhang Wei and Hu Niu flew out from their horses at the same time and rushed straight to the unknown general.

The nameless general obviously didn't know how powerful the two were, so he just waved the machete in his hand and wanted to stop the other party. Unexpectedly, Zhang Wei suddenly glared at him, and a chilling murderous aura instantly enveloped him, and he only felt as if his body was no longer under his control, and the movements in his hands also stopped.

Hu Niu didn't know that Zhang Wei next to her used "murderous release", but out of the instinct of a martial artist, seeing that the opponent had such an obvious flaw, she was not polite, and immediately buckled the tiger's claws and controlled the opponent's wrist. Then she pulled the nameless general down from the horse, opened her mouth, and the "tiger teeth" in her mouth began to grow violently, and she was about to bite the other party's neck.

When had the unknown general seen such a terrifying opponent biting on the battlefield, he had to tilt his head to the other side as much as possible, only to see a palm reaching for his neck. Before he could figure out what was going on, he saw that the fingertips of the hand suddenly stretched out several claws as clear as glass, the length of which was just inserted into his neck, no less, no less.

He felt a cold feeling in his neck, but it immediately became a hot pain again, and the crystal clear claws were almost fleeting, and immediately disappeared from his eyes. If he hadn't seen a stream of bloody arrows flying out of his neck, he would have wondered if he was dazzled.

Just when the five generals were still thinking about how the Tang Army could have such a monster with fangs and claws, he had already fallen with a bang, and with it, the morale of the soldiers of the Xia Army.

Zhan Musi shouted at the right time, "The Xia army is about to die, everyone rush with me!" ”

At the same time, the waning moon's sledgehammer had already swung and struck heavily on the belly of a general's horse, knocking him and his horse more than two meters high, and flying into the crowd behind him with a handful of blood squeezed out of his mouth and nose.

Huang Zhi, Li Sha, Sima Fuqiang and Xiaofeng plus a few members of the Tianshan team, so the dream man with the "archery" skill shot at the same time, shooting a fan-shaped arrow curtain, and instantly put down several people in the front row.

The lewd man and Huang Ying were armed with spears, and finally found two fish that slipped through the net and each made up for it. As for other weapons like Wuyang, which are not long enough, they find that they no longer have a target to shoot.

After the main generals and partial generals suffered fatal blows in a row, the soldiers of the Xia army suddenly realized that they had almost lost their entire command level, and they saw the murderous dreamman again, of course, they chose to turn around and run as soon as possible.

Of course, this murderous aura that scared them away was naturally released by Zhang Wei.

Seeing that the other party's defeat had been achieved, the Tianshan team and the Donghai team naturally pursued them unceremoniously, chasing these thousands of people out of a few miles with only sixty or so horses, until the Tiger Prison Pass came to Mingjin to withdraw the troops, and they returned unsatisfied.

Although the black wolf also brushed a lot of records in the subsequent pursuit process, it was a pity that it left a bad impression in Li Shimin's heart at the beginning, obviously at the beginning of the competition for the chief dream man had been thrown off by Zhan Musi, and if there was no outstanding performance in the future, I am afraid it would be difficult to recover the decline.

Li Shimin personally went out to greet these meritorious heroes who broke thousands of thousands, and in his merit book, Zhan Musi was heavily recorded because of the "brilliance" emitted by the two temporary command posts.

Although the performance of the Eastern Navy is not as bright as that of James Musi, it can take the initiative to cooperate with the correct command of competitors regardless of personal gains and losses in the competition, and its belly and courage are also worthy of respect.

In the second competition of the three teams, the Donghai team and the Tianshan team won again 2-0.

Since then, almost every day or two, Dou Jiande will send a team of men and horses to knock on the battle. At this time, it is a good time for the dream person to make contributions and skill proficiency, and according to the example, a few people who can attend the military meeting in the three teams will have a war of words and fight for the opportunity to fight.

Because the first joint battle still left a shadow in Li Shimin's heart after all, for fear that the black wolf's team would hinder each other in the process of working with the other two teams, so he no longer considered letting the three teams play at the same time, but let them take turns.

In this case, Huang Zhike couldn't help Zhan Musi, but Sima Fuqiang, who had a deep understanding of this battle, was like a fish in water. Based on his knowledge, he was able to judge the gains and losses of each skirmish and the price-for-value ratio, which was used as a reason for whether the Tianshan team or the Donghai team would play.

Sima Fuqiang made the choice, James Musi came forward to fight, and Huang Zhi used his eloquence to knock on the side, although the three teams took turns, but the results achieved were very different.

In Li Shimin's eyes, Zhan Musi's ability is getting stronger and stronger, and his status is also rising. The East China Sea team followed closely behind, maintaining a slight gap and not surpassing the allies or being left behind by them.

Although the black wolf and his team have no fewer opportunities than the other two teams, their performance is always not salty or light, and in Li Shimin's eyes, they are like chicken ribs.

After a few battles, the black wolf gradually saw the trickiness in it, knowing that the Tianshan team and the Donghai team maintained a certain distance on the surface, but in essence they were in a group. And he was sure that there must be someone in the two teams who was familiar with history, so he was able to make a choice in their favor in these small battles that seemed to be indistinguishable.

The black wolf immediately changed his strategy, and he worked hard to get the opportunity to play in the Tianshan team and the Donghai team. But at this time, the gap between whether there are allies or no is beginning to be highlighted, not to mention that there are Li Shiji and Qin Qiong behind the East China Sea team and the Tianshan team, and there is only one Yu Wenshi and support behind the black wolf team.

Having said that, the Tianshan team and the Donghai team have an absolute advantage both innate and acquired. Although the Yuwen scholar behind the black wolf was later awarded the title of Duke of Yingguo, the official worshiped the Zhongshu Order and the palace prison during his lifetime, and posthumously presented the General Zuowei after his death, but he was not Li Shimin's descendant after all.

On the other hand, Li Shiji and Qin Qiong, one of these two is the future British Duke and the other is Hu Guogong, and they are also ranked in Lingyan Pavilion, that is, one of the twenty-four people recognized by Li Shimin who contributed the most to the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

Moreover, after the battle of Luoyang-Tiger Prison, because of the accumulation of military exploits, Li Shimin himself was awarded the title of General Tiance and was allowed to open a mansion in Luoyang, that is, Tiance Mansion. These two people are also the original team of Tiance Mansion, and Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and others formed Li Shimin's most trusted group of civil and military officials, and contributed to him in the future "Xuanwumen Change", and praised the current King of Qin to become the first emperor of Tang Taizong.

Based on the above points, the Black Wolf team, whether it is the Nanyuan team or the Huanghai team, has only one ending, and after the Nanhai team that was completely expelled from Li Tang's camp by the Donghai team, they are already out.

The time soon came to April 30, Li Shimin sent his general Wang Junkuo to lead more than 1,000 light cavalry to intercept Dou Jiande's grain transport team, and the Xia army finally had to make a final decision, either retreating in disgrace, or immediately have a decisive battle with the Tang army.

This was also the decisive moment of the battle between Luoyang and Tiger Prison.
