Sigh:

Killing people on the battlefield is like mowing grass, and yellow sand is like water watering on blood.

Both armies used a sneak attack strategy, fighting desperately in the middle of the night to take the lead.

The bitter rain fell sadly day after day, and the sad wind was full of complaints.

The son is still tender and middle-looking, and the old traitor is Du Huaibiao.

It is said that Du Huaibiao surrounded Zhong Danian's camp with 80,000 against 6,000, and wanted to destroy Zhong Danian and give Zhong Fangying a blow.

Zhong Danian saw that the soldiers around him were fighting less and less, and he couldn't help but sigh and was about to raise his sword to kill himself, when he suddenly heard a drum sound that shook the sky, and he saw that the Dongting soldiers were attacking in a chaotic formation!

Zhong Danian was overjoyed, the heart of suicide was extinguished, and the intention of survival was revived. Zhong Danian expected that his own rescue troops had arrived, and immediately organized the remnants of the remnants to break out of the encirclement and join the rescuers.

It turned out that this rescue force was sent by Zhong Eryao. Zhong Er was about to come to the tiger's mouth, and heard the defenders say that Zhong Danian led 8,000 troops and seized the Golden Pagoda Pass first, so he smiled and said: "General Zhong moved first when he heard the wind, very good!"

Unexpectedly, Du Huaibiao reported 100,000 horses, divided 20,000 troops to his second son Dulong Duhu, personally led 80,000 horses, and rushed to Jinta Pass.

Zhong Eryao frowned and said, "Old Thief Du is also a person who can use soldiers, so he will reach the Golden Pagoda Pass so soon!"

Zhong Er's subordinate dog-headed military advisor Lai Xing said: "Shaozhu Gong, the old thief and the soldiers have arrived, but I am afraid that General Zhong Danian is not an opponent, so it is advisable to send troops to respond." ”

Zhong Er wanted to listen, so he ordered the two generals Ma Pi and Ma Hu, leading 20,000 troops, to meet Zhong Danian.

The two generals walked out of the tiger's mouth, and when they went to the Golden Pagoda Pass, they heard the sound of killing shaking the sky. When Ma Pi and Ma Hu climbed to a high place to take a look, they saw that the Dongting soldiers surrounded and killed a large battalion. The fewer soldiers in that battalion grew, and it was clearly Zhong Danian's troops.

Ma Pi and Ma Hu discussed: "Shaozhu Gong sent the two of us to pick up Zhong Danian, and now he is surrounded and the situation is critical;

Neither of them wanted to lead the troops forward to fight, but since there was an order from the upper peak, how could they disobey the order? So the two discussed, one rescued, and the other ambushed the soldiers on the spot, so that they could respond and block the pursuing soldiers.

However, neither of the two generals was willing to come forward to fight, so they decided to draw lots. As a result, Ma Pi grabbed the word "volt" and sloppily grabbed the word "war".

So Ma Hu led 10,000 soldiers and shouted into the battlefield to save Zhong Danian. The sloppy sudden kill, the Dongting soldiers were caught off guard, and the formation was chaotic for a while, and the offensive was about to collapse.

Zhong Danian took the opportunity to rush out, rushed out of the camp, and moved closer to the reinforcements. Du Huaibiao immediately commanded the battle, and when he saw that the enemy army was only 10,000 people, he was furious and commanded a counterattack.

The Dongting soldiers stabilized the formation, and when they counterattacked, Na Zhong Danian had already led the remnants of the army to meet with the sloppy people. Zhong Danian shouted, "Thank you, General Ma, for coming to the rescue of Zhong!"

As for the sloppy one, he said at that time: "General Zhong doesn't have to be polite! Hurry up and kill with our army!"

Having said this, the sloppy leader of the troops retreated. When Zhong Danian saw it, his nose was crooked: You are really sloppy! Although I have taken a picture with you, you have to wait for a while until our two armies are completely united!

However, although he was angry in his heart, Zhong Danian had to shout: "General Ma returned to the army, our department and you are still cut off by enemy soldiers, and our soldiers can't rush out of the siege!"

After listening to it, he quickly ordered the troops to turn back, and this time, he steadily caught the remnants of Zhong Danian's soldiers before rushing back to kill.

Said sloppily: "General Zhong, you hold back, I'll play the striker, hurry up!"

When Zhong Danian heard this, he was disdainful in his heart: What kind of striker are you playing? Where are there any enemy soldiers in front of you? You are obviously afraid of death.

But the sloppy statement is also reasonable, and it's hard to say anything.

Du Huaibiao saw that the other party's 10,000 horses rushed over and responded to Zhong Danian's escape, he was furious in his heart, and with an order, the Dongting Army adjusted its formation and pounced again. This time it turned into a pursuit, and half of the 10,000 sloppy soldiers were dumpled by the Dongting soldiers, and those who escaped, including Zhong Danian, were only 5,000.

The 5,000 people fled in a hurry, and Zhong Danian was worried that he couldn't escape, so he asked: "General Ma, you and General Ma have always been known as 'Ma Pi is inseparable from Ma Pi, and Ma Pi can't be separated from Ma Pi', why didn't you see General Ma this time?"

Said sloppily: "General Zhong, Lao Ma is in ambush in front, waiting to meet us." ”

So Ma Hu and Zhong Danian tried their best to ride their horses, and finally fled to the ambush area of Mapi before the whole army was annihilated.

So he heard the sound of the drums, and Ma Pi led the ambush soldiers to kill, let go of Ma Hu and Zhong Danian, and stopped the Dongting soldiers head-on.

Du Huaibiao saw that there were ambushes, but he didn't know how many men and horses the enemy had, so he refused to take risks, so he ordered the withdrawal of the army.

In this battle, although the Dongting soldiers failed to capture Zhong Danian, Zhong Danian was careless with a total of 18,000 people, killed more than 10,000 in the battle, and less than 4,000 escaped. When the troops were collected twice, they saw that there were corpses pillowing all over the road, and blood stained the yellow sand.

Du Huaibiao ordered to dig a pit on the spot, send the corpses into the pit, burn them first and then bury them, and occasionally those who were seriously injured but did not die also lost their lives.

The predecessors are cloudy, and the bones will be dry, woohoo!

The three generals Zhong Danian, Ma Pi, and Ma Hu fled back to the tiger's mouth, and when they saw Zhong Eryao, they reported the situation of the battle, and Zhong Eryao was furious and said: "Old thief Du is too deceitful! I will avenge you for this arrow." ”

Military advisor Lai Xing said: "Old thief Du is also a person who can use soldiers, and Shaozhu Gong must prevent him from sneaking attack." ”

Zhong Er said: "You don't have to wait for him to sneak attack our army, let's go and attack him first! Mr. Lai, you design and design, see how to sneak attack?"

Lai Xing said: "Shaozhu Gong, Du Huaibiao's big victory today will inevitably make the whole army happy and morale will be doubled. Of course, we will also underestimate our army because of this. Xiao Chen has recently studied several victories of Li Shijian, and they all used the method of sneak attack. We're going to take advantage of tonight's sneak attack, it's the best time. ”

Unexpectedly, Du Huaibiao ordered in the army: The enemy army is defeated and returns to the tiger's mouth, and the morale will be depressed.

There is a saying that "the wind is high and the day is on fire, and the moon is dark and kills the night". On this night, it was the moon and the wind was high. At the beginning of the shift, the wind rose, and during the second shift, it rained sporadically.

In the middle of the army, two armies went out, one in front of the other and one behind, along the foot of the mountain, halfway through, and at night at the third watch, an army arrived, and the two armies fought in the dark. Just when I didn't know how many people fell off their horses and how many people died, the rear army of the two rear forces arrived, so they mixed together and killed each other in chaos.

However, he couldn't see his five fingers, and he killed the soldiers in a chaotic manner, and many of them mistakenly cut down the people around him as enemy soldiers.

After the fourth watch, all of a sudden, the sporadic rain turned into a downpour. The generals on both sides involuntarily retreated to their own paths.

The two armies no longer touched, and only then did the fighting cease and each withdrew in disarray. After the withdrawal, the sky brightened, and under the count, there were countless wounded soldiers, and the camp was full*.

Du Huaibiao said angrily: "This pillar has been a public soldier for a long time, how can he be weak to Zhong and ask for this yellow-mouthed son!"

So Du Huaibiao ordered troops in the army, drew out 30,000 elite men, personally led, regardless of the rain, went out of Jinta Pass on the same day, went straight to the tiger's mouth, and set up camp thirty miles away from the pass.

On this day, the rain didn't stop at all. It was past noon, and although there was a newly established camp tent in Du Huaibiao's army, all the soldiers and generals had difficulty making fires, so they would drink some cold water and eat some dry food.

Before the time came, after the camp was completed, Du Huaibiao patrolled the camp and heard a small colonel sigh: "They are all royal soldiers, but because of the dispute between his two pillars, we came here on a rainy day to suffer!"

Du Huaibiao was furious, and he was going to behead this little colonel, but he had a plan, pretended not to know, turned back to the big tent of the Chinese army, and ordered the three armies:

No one is allowed to complain, and no one is allowed to complain about being tired! Our army will brave the rain tonight to seize the pass, and then carry out a sneak attack on the fourth watch! If we take the tiger's mouth, the whole army will be rewarded!

But those who complain about the rain and come here to suffer, once they are found, they will not be spared!

As soon as this order came out, the little colonel who was bluffing out complaints looked for an opportunity to slip away before it was dark, and fled to the tiger's mouth and asked for it.

Speaking of which, the time was already dusk the next day.

However, it was said that on the Tiger Pass Pass, the arrival of the little school, Ling Zhong Eryao had already known that Du Huaibiao had come out in the rain, set up a large camp, and was going to carry out a sneak attack on the fourth watch tonight.

Therefore, Zhong Eryao ordered the army to strengthen its defense! Du Lao thief wanted to attack our army in four watches. Our army wants to attack his camp tonight!

So the tiger's mouth was closed, and Zhong Er wanted to order the Beiting soldiers to rest at the beginning of the shift, and only wait for the third shift to send troops. At this time, the rain has not stopped, and Zhong Er wants to sit opposite the military advisor Lai Xing, so he sits opposite the city, pretends to sleep and rests to recuperate, and only waits for the drum to play three watches that night.

Zhong Eryao was originally a blessed son, and he had not experienced such a battle before, so there was a military advisor Lai Xing who planned it, and he only felt that tonight's sneak attack was different from last night, and it was only that the soldiers would win. Because of the continuous use of soldiers, I felt quite tired, and I fell asleep unconsciously.

The military advisor Lai Xing didn't dare to really sleep, although he squinted his eyes, he listened to the mountain wind blowing through the city. The mountain wind, heard from the Guancheng watchtower, is different, it is a burst of breathing, a burst of exhalation.

In this whirring sound, the sound of rain is sometimes loud and small, and when it is big, it is dripping and clicking, and it never stops.

Lai Xing was thinking about the steps of the plan of action for tonight's sneak attack, and gradually his heart was half bright and half dark, and he had a feeling of half dreaming and half waking up.

At this time, it was the second watch. When Lai Xing was in that mountain wind, in the sound of dripping rain, he occasionally heard one or two sounds of hard objects colliding.

When Lai Xing was about to subconsciously distinguish it, a gust of mountain wind blew, whirring loudly, and the sound was muffled.

Lai Xing suddenly woke up, got up and went down the city tower, and called the guards, and suddenly, the shouting of killing started!

It turned out that Du Huaibiao was pretending to pass on the news through the small school, and on the surface he was talking about a sneak attack on the fourth watch, but in fact he ordered the army to rest at dusk, set off on the first watch, and capture the city on the second watch.

Under the cover of the sound of wind and rain, Du Huaibiao's men and horses climbed into the gate, quietly touched the sentry, killed the sentry, opened the gate of the gate, and the army swarmed in.

If Zhong Eryao had not ordered the army to attack and only strengthened the guards, he might have been able to discover the movements of Du Huaibiao's Dongting Army in time; instead, he ordered the three armies to rest at the beginning of the first shift and only wait for the third watch to set off - so the vigilance of the army was insufficient, and Du Huaibiao took advantage of the loophole.

Du Huaibiao is also taking risks, but no matter what, people are successful. Win or lose.

At that time, the Dongting soldiers broke into the tiger's mouth and killed the other party unexpectedly, Lai Xing saw it, and hurriedly went upstairs and woke up Zhong Er: "Shaozhu Gong, the big thing is not good, the enemy soldiers are coming to the pass!"

Zhong Er was about to listen, as if he had been shocked, and his whole body trembled at that time, and he suddenly stood up, and rushed down the city tower with Lai Xing.

There are already those who will be awakened by the middle and the department, while resisting, and on the other hand, they will come to save the middle and want. In that Zhong Danian, generals such as Ma Pi and Ma Hu followed Zhong and Lai Xing in the chaos of the army, so they rushed out of the tiger's mouth and retreated all the way to the Big Dao Pavilion.

Zhong Er wanted to escape, but the people and horses left behind were a group of dragons without a leader, and besides, Du Huaibiao was originally the Dongting Zhugong of the imperial court, so they surrendered one after another.

Du Huaibiao counted the troops and surrendered, there were 50,000 horses - this is a big victory, Du Huaibiao felt that his confidence was greatly increased, he laughed, and he wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue and seize the Great Sword Pavilion.
