After the end of the last war, Fu Jian and other princes' forces were severely weakened. Bai Qi made a decisive decision and divided his troops again. He ordered Feng Yi to lead Jiang Song, Luo Cheng, Luo Ren and other generals to lead a surprise attack on Xiaoguan with 30,000 cavalry.
Bai Qi himself led the remaining troops and horses to continue to deal with the remaining forces of Fu Jian and other princes.
After Fu Jian and others discovered the movements of Feng Yi's troops, they knew from the direction of Feng Yi's advance that Feng Yi's destination was to go to Xiaoguan.
It can be said that Fu Jian's remaining strength at this time has no energy to allocate troops to stop Feng Yi's 30,000 cavalry. He can only watch Feng Yi bypass the cities along the way and go straight to Xiaoguan.
Of course, although Fu Jian and the others were unable to separate their troops to stop Feng Yi's 30,000 cavalry, they would never do anything at all.
After discovering the movements of Feng Yi's troops, Fu Jian immediately sent out a large number of messengers to report the news. Although this could not give any practical help to Yang Fan, the general at Xiaoguan, it could at least allow Yang Fan to
Fan made preparations in advance.
In Xue Rengui's expedition to the west, Yang Fan is the general of the Xifan Kingdom and the second villain in the book. He is the commander-in-chief of Baihu Pass. Although he is not handsome in appearance, he is extremely powerful. He has a gold-backed machete in his hand, which is unworthy of anyone.
Yong is inseparable from Xue Rengui's death.
At the Baihu Pass, Yang Fan designed to injure Xue Rengui and defeated Xue Dingshan. The Tang army was hindered. Later, Xue Rengui was accidentally wounded and shot to death by Xue Dingshan.
In desperation, Xue Dingshan invited Fan Lihua three times, and the two officially became husband and wife. Yang Fan set up a white tiger formation, but Fan Lihua broke it, and he was captured alive by Fan Lihua, and was eventually killed by Fan Lihua's adopted son Xue Yinglong.
In the legend, Yang Fan was the reincarnation of the Five Ghost Stars. After being killed by Xue Yinglong, his ghost reincarnated into Fan Lihua's belly and reincarnated as Xue Gang, killing more than 300 members of the Xue family.
However, although Fu Jian sent a large number of messenger troops, Bai Qi was obviously prepared for this. In order to prevent Fu Jian and others from affecting the purpose of Feng Yi's trip, Bai Qi also sent out a large number of light cavalry to intercept and kill Fu Jian's sent troops.
The messenger.
Although Fu Jian's messenger army had some fish that slipped through the net, after a lot of pursuit and interception, by the time this fish that slipped through the net arrived at Xiao Pass, Feng Yi's army was already only a few dozen miles away.
Dozens of miles sounds very far, but for the cavalry, it is just a fleeting thing. Under the attack of the cavalry, it will not even take a day. In such a short period of time, Yang Fan had no time to improve his defense.
However, although the enemy troops would approach the city in a short time, Yang Fan did not give up, but actively asked Yang Jian of Yongzhou for help to protect Xiao Pass.
Given the current situation, Yang Fan saw clearly that it was impossible to expect Fu Jian to send reinforcements. Then only Yang Jian's forces in Yongzhou were left to come to the rescue.
Although Yang Fan was a general under Fu Jian's command rather than a member of Yang Jian's influence, now was the time when they were uniting to fight against the Jin Dynasty, so necessary changes were normal.
Moreover, Xiaoguan is one of the gates in Guanzhong. Taking Xiaoguan is equivalent to opening the way for the Jin army to march into Yongzhou. If Xiaoguan is captured by Feng Yi, then it will be the Yang Jian forces in Yongzhou who will cry next. Therefore.
, Yang Jian had no choice but to support him this time, and he was even more active than those forces in Liangzhou.
However, Yang Jian was in Tongguan after all at this time, and Yang Fan's letter for help was sent from Xiaoguan to Chang'an, and then from Chang'an to Tongguan, which must have taken a while.
By the time Yang Jian received the call for help, the battle between Xiao Guan had already begun.
After Yang Jian received the news, he immediately sent reinforcements to Xiaoguan. Xiaoguan was too important to Guanzhong, and he could never afford to abandon Xiaoguan.
However, although Yang Jian wanted to send reinforcements, he did not have enough troops. Except for the troops at Tongguan and the army that was almost gone in Liangzhou, most of Yang Jian's remaining troops were concentrated in Chang'an and Sanguan.
Chang'an is the top priority in Guanzhong, so the troops here cannot be moved. But Yang Jian is also unwilling to mobilize the troops in Sanguan easily. Strategically speaking, Sanguan is more important than Xiaoguan.
In the end, forced by desperation, Yang Jian had no choice but to send county soldiers and some of the troops he had just summoned during this period to support Xiaoguan Yang Fan.
When Li Xiang's army pressed on the border, Yang Jian naturally had to temporarily summon a large number of troops to prevent unexpected events. In fact, not only Yang Jian, Ma Teng, and Fu Jian, the two Liangzhou princes, also did this. Only Han Sui did so when the war started.
He was caught off guard by Su Lie and had no time to summon more troops.
However, Yang Jian, Ma Teng, and Fu Jian, just like Li Xiang, will not use these recruits in field battles, but only for city defense.
With the combat effectiveness of these new recruits, if they were to directly join the elite troops in a field battle, they would probably be defeated in one blow. At that time, it would affect the situation on the entire battlefield.
However, although Yang Jian sent reinforcements, not long after these reinforcements left Chang'an, news came that Xiao Pass had been breached.
Xiaoguan is an important place where Liangzhou passes through Yongzhou. Now Fu Jian and Yang Jian have joined forces to resist Li Xiang's Jin army. Under this situation, even in order not to cause Yang Jian's misunderstanding, Fu Jian will not go to Xiaoguan.
Arrange too many troops.
What's more, by mobilizing the troops in Xiaoguan, Fu Jian can also gather more troops to deal with Bai Qi and Su Lie's army. With all this, Xiaoguan, an important town that once stationed 20,000 elite soldiers, now only has
Three thousand troops remained behind.
Feng Yinai came all the way, so naturally he would not bring catapults, wells and other large-scale siege equipment. Even the ladders were improvised and simple versions.
With such crude equipment, it is naturally not easy to capture a powerful pass. But Feng Yi arrived too quickly. Even before Yang Fan was fully prepared, Feng Yi's 30,000 cavalry troops were already approaching the city.
As soon as the army arrived, Feng Yi did not give Yang Fan a chance and immediately launched a full-scale attack.
Feng Yi also knew very well that for such an important gateway as Xiaoguan, the enemy would not give up easily. In order to prevent any accidents from happening, he must occupy this strong pass of Xiaoguan as soon as possible.
Feng Yi is worthy of being the best among the twenty-eight generals in Yuntai. In this battle, he gave full play to the role of the fierce generals in the army. He ordered Jiang Song, Luo Ren, and Luo Cheng in the army to generals from three different places on the Guanqiang wall.
launch an attack.
Naturally, Yang Fan did not dare to let these fierce generals climb the city wall easily. After these fierce generals climbed the city wall, it would be difficult to expel them.
