The north wind whistled above the head.

A rosin torch was lit, spreading the flames, illuminating the sparse snow particles and falling down.

Yang Qiye held the hilt of the knife and looked at the silent generals and soldiers on the inside of the gorge. Deep down, he still felt that Xueye attacked the enemy camp a bit crazy.

Due to the restrictions of command and communication methods and the individual qualities of military officers and soldiers, the soldiers and horses in the world pay attention to fighting in formation, and are most afraid of night battles.

Not to mention night battles, it is difficult to take into account both the beginning and end of the night marching force, and any slightest movement may cause collapse; camping and roaring can easily cause disastrous consequences.

Now, due to the restrictions of the canyon plank road on the west side of Tianmen Mountain, most generals and soldiers will directly rest on the ground and back on the cliff after they arrive, and there is not even an open space to set off in an array.

They still need to wait for the vanguards outside the gorge to defeat hundreds of enemies who were approaching Tianmen Mountain. More than two thousand men could pull them to the open area east of Tianmen Mountain in the dark to carry out the final offensive assembly.

More than two thousand generals, including the same number of war horses, went out from the narrow gorge and gathered under the dark sky under the wind and snow. It was already an extremely difficult thing. More importantly, after this, so many people and horses

You have to raise a fire and march south for about ten miles before you can reach the front of the Han army camp in Yunzhou.

So many people marched ten miles on a snowy night. When they arrived at the enemy camp, they would not be able to maintain a complete line. The command of the entire army from top to bottom may be completely dispersed, and even the first-level organization of the Du team is difficult to ensure command.

In order, it is likely that in the end it is just a few dozen or so teams of dozens of people will be in formation and fight each other.

The key is that they don’t carry any combat equipment, and there are not even a few ladders. How could it be easy to attack the enemy camp if so many people directly attach to the wall?

Such combat arrangements are crazy and desperate at any time.

If an effective breakthrough is not formed after arriving at the enemy camp, and the organization of his own camp is completely scattered, he will not be able to find his soldiers and generals. At this time, he will be hit by the enemy's counterattack, and the consequences will be disastrous.

In Gong County, Yang Qiye also led his troops to participate in the harassment of the enemy troops on the northern slope of Songshan Mountain for more than a month. He was used to the scale of small-scale combat, but he had not launched a surprise attack on the enemy at night, which was exciting enough to think about it.

"Now the city of Taiyuan is dark, and even the fire-burning objects in the city may be in short supply. The snow is getting heavier again. Everyone is worried that they will not be able to figure out the direction, but there is no need to worry about this. As long as the vanguard and horses start, they will kill the Han army in Yunzhou.

Near the camp, Taiyuan defenders felt the movement, and they would inevitably light torches and bonfires. At that time, not only would the outline of Taiyuan North City be outlined under the night sky, but they would also illuminate the targets of each attack,"

At this time, Xu Huai gathered all the generals above to carry out the final combat mobilization.

"Don't be afraid of chaos. You must understand that the enemy's small combat capabilities are much worse than ours. If they dare to send troops to camp on snowy nights, they will be even more chaotic than us. The enemy will not dare to go out to camp, as long as we grassroots troops are in the same way as ours.

The officials understand the attack targets of each department, and we can also reverse the temporary chaos in front of the enemy camp. We do not want to capture five or more enemy camps at the same time. As long as one breaks out, all the troops gather at the breakthrough.

.Before dawn, if you capture an enemy camp, what are you not confident about? Another point is that when you return to each department, you must re-confirm that all the soldiers have mastered the skilled commands.”

After the mobilization, Xu Huai, Wang Ju, Xu Wuli and others climbed a stone cliff under the wind and snow, looking at the enemy's temporary camp in the east of Tianmen Mountain.

The enemy camp was about six or seven hundred steps away from Xu Xin'an's barrier formed by forty or fifty large trucks outside the gorge. In addition to the inside of the enemy camp, dozens of bonfires were lit between the temporary camp and the gorge illuminated the night sky on both sides.

Although nearly 500 enemy soldiers approached the northeast of Tianmen Mountain, they did not have the determination to enter from the narrow gorge without regard to casualties. They still wanted to drive the "rebels" to rob the grain back to the mountains of Luliang, and at night they were mainly guarding against the inside of the gorge.

The "rebel army" who robs food will suddenly come out.

Apart from the piles of bonfires, about one-third of the soldiers in the enemy camp were still guarding outside and did not get into the tent to hide from the wind and snow.

The five hundred generals and soldiers inside the gorge have been squeezed together and arranged in an array.

In the dark night, the pawns were in the dark and melted the collected large amount of rosin and applied it to the large carriage rack that was disassembled as a roadblock.

After the preliminary preparations were completed, Xu Xin'an, who was commanding the vanguard's troops in front of the gorge, ordered these large carts to be lit together. At the entrance of the gorge north of Tianmen Mountain, it was like a fire dragon suddenly breaking out of the ground.

This scene also alarmed the enemy camp hundreds of steps away. Suddenly, the enemy soldiers resting in the camp came out one after another, but they leaned over and looked here, at a loss and didn't know what was going on.

Wuchichuan led one hundred cavalry to quickly emerge from the gap reserved by the fire dragon (roadblock). In less than half a cup of tea, he formed the strongest attacking arrow formation in front of the fire dragon; at this time, the horse's back

The generals and soldiers also took off the wood from their mounts' mouths, making the war horses whistle unrestrainedly.

The enemy soldiers woke up at this time, and the charge was about to be launched. Moreover, the soldiers and horses inside the gorge were not small "rebels" in the Luliang Mountains at all, but elite cavalry like iron streams under the reflection of the fire dragon.

;                                                              �

Wu Chichuan led his troops into the enemy camp, and the combat mission was to completely disrupt the enemy camp with one blow. Then Fan Zongqi and Wang Zhang each led 100 cavalry to quickly drive the defeated soldiers out of the outside of the gorge, so as to

The fast speed makes room for subsequent people to gather at the gorge.

Next, Xu Xin'an will personally lead 200 cavalry and some of the troops who can fight out first and then collect them back, and follow the fleeing south and attack the Han army camp in Yunzhou on the northmost side.

Li Chulin's troops mainly guard the northern part of Taiyuan City. In addition to the front battalion in front of the city, the second floor is nine camps surrounding Taiyuan City from the north.

The nine battalions are not very large in size. They are stationed with hundreds to thousands of soldiers. The battalions are also connected by trenches and earthen walls, which not only ensures that the defenders in the city can find it difficult to break through the gap between the battalions.

, and also ensure the safe transfer of personnel and horses between the battalions.

The battalion can be regarded as the outer wall of Taiyuan City, but it is firmly in the hands of the enemy.

The outermost side is the Han army camp in Yunzhou, which is also the location of Li Chulin's command tent. In addition to the five or six thousand soldiers stationed, there are also tens of thousands of hard labor and prisoners of war.

It was difficult to conquer the Han Army camp in Yunzhou, which was on the north side in a hurry, but the Han Army camp in Yunzhou was the largest, but it failed to completely block the mountain pass that was more than ten miles wide in the north of Taiyuan City.

The enemy did not expect that there would be troops attacking from the north side to support the Taiyuan defenders breaking through. In the shortage of food and fodder and other materials, of course, it would not be possible to waste manpower and material resources on the north side of the Han army camp in Yunzhou.

Build another defense.

No matter how cautious Li Chulin is, it is impossible to ensure that the nine battalions on the south side of the Han Army camp in Yunzhou can calm down and make no mistakes.

The first step to fight at night was to silence the enemy. It was to make the cautious Li Chulin close the gates of the Han army camp in Yunzhou and dare not send troops out to fight in a melee.

At this time, Xu Xin'an would lead the vanguard troops and go directly to the south side of the Han Army Camp in Yunzhou, disconnecting its contact with the south side of the camp, and causing the nine camps to be with the Han Army Camp in Yunzhou on a snowy night

It becomes an isolated island with its own formation.

As long as they capture one of the nine camps before dawn, they will open up contact with Taiyuan City, and urgently transfer a batch of supplies to Taiyuan City, so as to hold the lives of 100,000 soldiers and civilians in Taiyuan.

"You, since you have already gone to Bianliang, why are you back?"

The prefect Xu Wei forced his weak body to climb to the ruined city. When he saw Qian Zerui standing in front of the wall and looking into the north, the north was pitch black except for the scattered bonfires in the enemy camp.

The snow is not dense, and the snow particles are swept by the strong wind and hit the face, but they are painful.

"It is impossible for reinforcements to come. The main force of the enemy soldiers has gone south, and the city of Bianliang is in danger. King Jing and Xu Huai and others are too busy to take care of themselves. How can we take care of us? Since you are all back, you will die with Taiyuan.

It’s our fate. Sit down and take a break. See what I bring to you!"

Xu Weixian sat down against the wall, took out a small piece of freshly roasted leather armor from his arms, handed it to Qian Zerui, and saw that he was still standing there, and asked, "Don't give up? King Jing,

Xu Huai was really determined to rush to Taiyuan, but why didn’t he send people to the city to contact us now? Although the enemy’s blockade was tight, it wouldn’t be impossible to fly in, right?”

"In Puban, Xu Huai once said that he led his troops to help. The only chance is to fight quickly and catch the enemy off guard. He will not take the risk of leaking secrets and making the enemy alert. He will send people to Taiyuan in advance to contact us.

Wang Gaoxing and I were imprisoned by Cao Shixiong in Lanzhou before. At that time, everyone felt hopeless. No one expected Xu Huai to enter Lanzhou alone!" Qian Zerui said.

"Xu Huai was in Shuozhou at that time, what about now?" Xu Wei shook his head and smiled, "Old guy, give up!"

"" Qian Zerui sighed with a wry smile, and sat down against the wall.

After the main force of the enemy soldiers heading south, Qian Zerui would stand on the north city wall every night, but to be honest, it has been a month since the main force of the enemy soldiers heading south, and the confidence he built when he left Puban could not help but waver.

.

Thinking about it, the main force of the enemy soldiers went south again, and everyone was too busy to take care of themselves. Who can still care about Taiyuan, which is lonely in the north?

Of course, even if Xu Huai didn't come to help Taiyuan, he wouldn't have any resentment.

You can't expect others to fight for their own lives and come to save them one after another, right?

For hundreds of millions of people in Dayue, we cannot count on Xu Huai to bear all the burden alone.

"Mr. Fu, fire, fire! There is a fire on the other side of Tianmen Pass!" The guard who was still standing in front of the cliff shouted at this time.

Qian Zerui struggled to stand up, his hands and feet trembled at this moment, and he shouted in a trembling voice: "It's the Tianmen Pass, the Tianmen Pass. With such a big fire, reinforcements must have arrived. Go and find General Wen!

”

Tianmen Pass is 145 miles away from Taiyuan North City. At this time, there was light snow floating in the night sky. The bonfires were completely invisible. However, the roadblocks built by the large carriage mounts at the entrance of the gorge were about a mile to illuminate the battlefield and gather.
