It's time to take a look at the situation of the Wagang Army on Hulao Pass. For the battle tonight, the Wagang Army made great efforts to prepare for the battle. Eight thousand main forces served as vanguards, rich experience and strong combat power. The individual combat effectiveness was comparable to the elite Qijun Sui Army of Henan's quest for arrest. Leaded by Wagang's general Shan Xiongxin and Zhi general Xu Shiyi, a number of rear troops were arranged, led by Zhai Rang himself. In order to prevent the situation, a large number of flying ladders were prepared. At any time, they could change the wisdom to take Luokou Cang to a strong attack. Basically, as long as Pei Renji's side did not have any problems, the Wagang Army would definitely win tonight.

At the beginning of Shen Shi, Zhai Rang personally inspected the vanguard team that served as the main force of the combat. Because of the recent successive battles in front of the Henan adjudication army, the morale of the Wagang Army was indeed very high, which reflected the mental outlook, that is, everyone raised their heads and chests, straight waists, bright swords and guns, and neat flags. Zhai Rang inspected it and was very satisfied. He had to give a speech in front of the army to boost morale and boost morale.

"Brothers, today is a big day. Tonight, we will take down the Luokou Cang in one go. I believe you have heard that the grain bags are piled together, higher than Mount Tai. We, the Wagang thief, will eat for two lifetimes, and we can't finish it. How to take down the Luokou Cang? We have already arranged it. As long as you work hard to kill the enemy, the Luokou Cang will definitely be ours to take down the Luokou Cang. Each of you will reward 100 stones of grain. Wagang will win."

"Wagang will win" The soldiers of Wagang trained by Li Mi shouted neatly, their voices penetrated into the sky, and their momentum was extraordinary.

With satisfaction, Zhai Rang ordered the army to be disbanded and rested. The generals of Wagang came to Zhai Rang and asked if Zhai Rang would send troops as planned. Zhai Rang, who was proud of himself, laughed again and said, "Of course, the army was being sent to attack Pei Renji's camp at the time of Xu. Brother Shan, Brother Xu, remember, you just have to pursue Pei Renji and sweep the battlefield of the camp. You don't have to worry about it."

Knowing that Zhai Rang was greedy for money and wanted to make a fortune in Pei Renji's camp, Shan Xiongxin and Xu Shiyi didn't say much, and agreed immediately. Only Xu Shiyi asked: "Brother Zhai, are the people sent to contact Xiao Huaijing back? Is there any news about Xiao Huaijing?"

Zhai Rang naturally turned his attention to Jia Xiong, the deputy military advisor who was responsible for confidential affairs for him. Jia Xiong replied: "It's normal that the officers and soldiers blocked the front road very strictly. Our messengers disguised themselves as people and sneaked into the official army camp. They could only walk the mountain road to the south to detour. They had to spend more time. But it doesn't matter, they would definitely come back before dark."

"Brother Xu, don't worry, nothing will happen." Zhai Rang said carelessly: "The tyrant only gave Pei Renji thirty days to get back to Hulao Pass, and there will be only seven days left. Pei Renji has also lost consecutive battles. Apart from surrendering us honestly, he has no other way of living and will not be cheating."

"Pei Renji is not worth worrying about. Even the defeated generals in his hands can't do anything to us even if they play any tricks." Xu Shiyi said with a gloomy face: "The thing worth worrying about is Chen Yingliang and Chen Dog Official. That dog official is too cunning and not far from the battlefield of Hulao Pass. If he joins hands with Pei Renji to play any tricks, we will be unable to defend."

"Brother Xu was scared by Chen Gouguan in Tongjiqu?" Zhai Hong laughed rudely.

Xu Shiyi, who was poked into an old scar, did not sulk this time, shook his head and said, "It's not that he was afraid of being deceived. I'm really afraid of this tricky dog ​​official. Not to mention the countless rebel soldiers who have died in his hands over the years, just say that the last sneak attack on Luokoucang was such a good chance. He was actually because of the three dog officials who and three riders scared away our 7,000 elite soldiers. We have to be careful when dealing with such traitors."

It was Zhai Rang's turn to express a little embarrassing expression. He was about to curse Chen Sangliang, who had been fighting against counterfeiting and cheating on Hu Qing last time, but a personal soldier rushed to the general's platform and bowed to Zhai Rang and said, "Report to the king, the messenger we sent to contact Xiao Huaijing's dog official has returned and has entered the west gate."

“Great, bring it quickly.”

When Zhai Rang heard this, he quickly ordered the summons. The personal soldiers ran away. After a moment, the messenger who had previously claimed that his relatives sneaked into the Sui Army camp to contact Xiao Huaijing was taken to the schoolyard. However, before the messenger boarded the general platform, another Wagang Army scout rushed into the schoolyard, and shouted from afar: "Good news, the official army camp has changed and the official army camp has gone into the official army camp."

There was no commander who didn't want the enemy camp to be in chaos when the two armies were fighting. When they heard such good news from the sky, Zhai Rang ignored the messenger who had just returned from the mountain road and shouted to the scout: "There is something wrong in the official army camp? Report it quickly."

"Report to the king, I'm very happy." The scout bowed before he got off his horse and said: "I don't know what happened in the official army camp. Suddenly, there was a chaos. Countless soldiers of the official army gathered together and made a noise. Even the scouts outside the camp retreated one after another. Our brothers took the opportunity to approach the official army camp to explore and confirm that the official army camp was in chaos."

"What happened? Why did the official army camp be in chaos without fighting?" Zhai Rang Huanxi couldn't believe it was true. His first reaction was to analyze the reasons for the sudden chaos in the Sui army camp.

"Is it that something happened to Pei Renji?" Bing Yuanzhen came to the most likely conclusion and said: "Pe Renji is preparing to surrender to us. If his subordinates refuse to obey, and Pei Renji is unable to kill the disobedient subordinates immediately, there is a possibility of such chaos."

"What are you still stunned?" Zhai Rang yelled without hesitation, "Hurry up, send troops immediately."

"King Zhai, you can't be fooled." The messenger who had not been able to speak before screamed like a pig and howled, "King, you can't be fooled, that's fake. That's the official army is lying to us to leave the pass. Chen Yingliang, Chen Gouguan has come. Chen Gouguan has already brought the army."

"Has Officer Chen Gou arrived?" All the generals of Wagang present changed their faces and were shocked. Only Mulan, who was standing behind Shan Xiongxin, flashed a light in her eyes, and then the light quickly disappeared without a trace.

The messenger who wasted a lot of time on the mountain road before coming back did not dare to delay any more. He quickly made a detailed report to Zhai Rang, Bing Yuanzhen and others, and also reported Pei Xingfang's identity and origin, indicating that Pei Xingfang was Chen Yingliang's closest distant cousin, and he accidentally leaked his mouth, revealing that Chen Sangliang brought 26,000 Dongdu troops this time. Of course, the more he heard Zhai Rang, Bing Yuanzhen and Xu Shiyi and others, his face became more severe and the more he heard it, the more angry he felt. Finally, Zhai Rang Yu Qian cursed: "Pei Renji, an old man dared to collude with Chen Yingliang's dog official to lie to me. If you don't cut you into pieces, it will be difficult to eliminate my hatred."

The generals of Wagang agreed, and all of them called Pei Renji despicable and shameless, and even used vicious tricks like pretending to surrender and lure the enemy. However, Xu Shiyi, who had been deceived by Chen Sangliang before, showed suspicion and said, "Brother Zhai, wait a little longer, there is something wrong with things. Since Chen Gouguan has arranged an ambush, why didn't he let Pei Renji pretend to be defeated at night as we asked? He was going to come up with new tricks at this time to trick us out of seclusion?"

Zhai Rang heard some suspicion, but Jia Xiong, who was good at divining Zhai Rang, was smart and analyzed: "It is possible that Chen Yingliang wanted to act the show more seriously, so that Pei Renji pretended to be in chaos in the camp to lure the enemy in advance, and gained us more trust, and also allowed us to attack in advance if we were not prepared enough, so that he would be more confident in defeating our Wagang Yishi. If this is true, it is already getting late now, and we attacked hastily. Even if we chased Luokoucang, it would be almost dark. It is the opportunity for the ambush troops to defeat us."

When Zhai Rang heard this, he nodded and immediately felt that Jia Xiong's words were reasonable. Xu Shiyu was still full of doubts and planned to suggest, "Brother Zhai, the enemy's situation is unclear. We cannot attack at will. Otherwise, let the army gather at the close of the gate first, and then send more people to investigate the movements of the official army camp. If we have the opportunity, we will attack. If we don't have the opportunity, we will continue to retreat and hold on without delay."

Zhai Rang immediately adopted Xu Shiyi's compromise idea. While sending a large number of scouts to investigate the situation of the Sui army, he ordered the army to assemble the orders of the Hou within the gate. At the same time, he personally led the generals of Wagang to climb the Ximen Pass wall, observing the movements outside the gate, and grasping the situation of the Sui army camp at the first time. The elite movements of the Wagang Army were also very fast. Not long after Zhai Rang and others climbed the wall, the main forces of the eight thousand war soldiers had basically been assembled and could go out to the gate to fight at any time.

Under such circumstances, if Pei Renji, who abandoned the camp and fled, could send the news to Hulaoguan as soon as possible, the Henan conscripts that retreated hurriedly were destined to be defeated and defeated under the pursuit of the Wagang Army. After Pei Renji, who was fleeing alone, left the camp from the back gate and made an arc to the relatively open south, he did rush to Hulaoguan to report the news. Unfortunately, almost at the same time, Chen Sangliang promised some heavy rewards to a personal soldier of Qin Qiong in the Sui army's tent, and also issued an order to him...

For Qin Qiong's personal soldier, Chen Sangliang's promise of promotion to three levels and reward of 100 yuan was not easy to get, and he had to take the risk of his head, because the Henan conscript army was already leaving the camp at this moment, and the scouts outside the camp had already been ordered to return to the camp, but the scouts of the Wagang Army were immediately rampant. Qin Qiong's personal soldier rode out of the camp alone according to Chen Sangliang's request and headed straight to Hulao Pass to find Pei Renji to execute the order. The danger coefficient was too great. As a result, Qin Qiong's personal soldier was just three miles east of the camp and was immediately chased by the scout sentry of the Wagang Army.

Chen Sangliang grabbed the right person with a casual grasp. Qin Qiong's personal soldiers, who had no time to ask about their name, faced the front and back of the scouts of Wagang, and were not afraid of escaping. They tried to rush straight to Hulao Pass without hesitation. The scouts of Wagang chased each other and shot arrows, but they could not stop him. The unknown hero rushed straight to Hulao Pass. It took only ten minutes before he rushed to the west gate of Hulao Pass.

Unfortunately, this unknown hero not only failed to catch up with Pei Renji, but also attracted more Wagang scouts to chase him. With the arrows at once, Qin Qiong's personal soldier was shot and had to turn around and flee back to the Sui army camp. The Wagang scouts continued to chase him. Zhai Rang, Xu Shiyi and others were also confused at the west gate of Hulaoguan, all of whom were confused, "What's this officer and soldier going crazy? He ran here and ran back. What did he think?"

The heaven pays off. After the unknown hero galloped back for two or three miles, he was happy to fall from the sky. He happened to meet Pei Renji being escorted to Hulao Pass by several Wagang army scouts. He did not hesitate. Regardless of the fact that the pursuers were less than ten steps behind him, he directly faced Pei Renji and shouted loudly: "Master Pei, please go back and you can't come to pretend to surrender yourself. You can't come to deceive the enemy yourself. That's a waste of death. I have received your kindness. I'll give it to you.

"Master, go quickly." He shouted. Qin Qiong's personal soldiers actually came to save Pei Renji, and the plan Chen Yingliang arranged for him was also deviated at this moment. Before he could pretend to lose, an arrow flew through the air behind him. He was impartial and hit his vest. The sharp arrow penetrated his chest. He also carried a war horse and sacrificed his country for his life.

Of course, the sacrifice of this unknown hero would not be worthless. At least his shouts were clearly heard by the Scout Wagang. As suspicion arose, the Scout Wagang who escorted Pei Renji not only immediately strengthened his custody of Pei Renji, but also reported truthfully when he saw Zhai Rang. As a result, Pei Renji, who was sincerely surrendered, had no choice but to cry. It was obvious that the Sui Army camp was completely chaotic and vulnerable, but Zhai Rang and others dared not believe his words immediately. They just kept asking about the authenticity of his coming to surrender, asking about every detail of the chaos in the Sui Army camp, wasting countless time more precious than gold and jewelry.

At the same time, there were gradually smoke rising from the camp of the Henan Investigation Army. The soldiers of the Sui army set fire to ignite tents, supplies and food, and only carried armor and weapons to gather. They charged towards Luokoucang in the order arranged by Chen Sangliang before, and launched the Sui version of Dunkirk retreat. Chen Sangliang personally led the rear of the two armies of Luo Shixin and Qin Qiong. Despite the persuasion and opposition of the crowd, he insisted on walking in the last of the Henan Investigation Army.

"I am your temporary coach who charges forward and retreats behind. This is the responsibility of the main general to move forward, and I will last."

This is the strongest voice that Chen Sangliang, the actor of the Sui Dynasty, made the soldiers of the Sui army cry and the old people in Qi County sighed. They all regretted that after Zhang Xutuo died for his country, he could not immediately follow a coach like Chen Sangliang, and mistakenly followed a coach like Pei Renji, wasting time and suffering all the bird's breath.

After all, Chen Sangliang's hastily arranged a plan to escape the shells was too flawed. It can even be said that if Chen Sangliang had not been treacherous and notorious all over the world, the Wagang Army would not have been fooled. Although Zhai Rang, Xu Shiyi and others still had great doubts, they found out the information that the Sui army had gathered a large amount of information about the gathering of the camp, and listened to Pei Renji's explanation that he swears. After all, Zhai Rang ordered Xu Shiyi and Shan Xiongxin to send troops to pursue him while the Sui army was basically withdrawing from the camp.

Facts proved that Chen Sangliang's decision to give up all food and supplies was very correct. Without the bonds of heavy grain and supplies, the Sui army soldiers who came into battle lightly retreated very quickly. The Wagang pursuers were elite brave and brave, and the distance between seven or eight miles was not close for a while. Forced to doom, Shan Xiongxin and Xu Shiyu could only discuss in a hurry. Shan Xiongxin led about 1,500 cavalry to pursue first, and Xu Shiyu led the infantry to come.

The Wagang cavalry quickly approached the Sui army's rear team, and the time to test Chen Sangliang's ability to adapt to the situation also came. In the face of the fluctuating and chaotic command of the army, Chen Sangliang decisively ordered other troops to retreat to Luokoucang at full speed. He personally led less than 2,000 troops under Luo Shixin and Qin Qiong to fight the rear, and retreated to Luokoucang to retreat.

During the pursuit, Chen Sangliang's commanding flag of course became the key target of the Wagang cavalry. The strong bow and crossbow of the Wagang army basically greeted Chen Sangliang. Chen Sangliang calmly commanded and responded to the battle, and personally took out his sword to participate in the battle. Although Yuchi Jingde was always by his side, Chen Sang still acted well. At the same time, the sky had no eyes, and the arrowheads of the Wagang army were not nailed to Chen Sangliang's vital points. Although the Sui army suffered a certain amount of casualties, Chen Sangliang still led his army to retreat about five miles away from Luokoucang.

At this time, the rear army led by Xu Shiyu had already chased him nearby. However, before Xu Shiyu could join the war, the three thousand new forces led by Ma Sanbao had already rushed into the junction of Xu Shiyu and Shan Xiongxin from the hidden killing place in the south, and used a large number of gunpowder bottles to destroy the Wagang army's ranks. Unfortunately, when Li Mi was still in the Wagang army, the Wagang army had obtained gunpowder bottles through special channels, and had suddenly used them in the battle to attack Hulao Pass. They had seen and understood them, so the effect of the disturbance was far less than that before.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Sangliang also led his army to turn around and fight with the Wagang army. However, the result of the melee was still inseparable and stalemate. In front of the elite Wagang army with strong combat effectiveness, the new force under Ma Sanbao did not take any advantage. Fortunately, he had to retreat first and all the soldiers of the Henan prosecution army retreated to Luokoucang City. Kan also led three thousand Mo Dao soldiers to respond. Only then was Chen Sangliang able to escape from the battlefield and retreated to Luokoucang under the cover of Mo Dao soldiers who were intercepting in line.

The Mo Dao soldiers of the School of Kan finally retreated to the gate of Cangcheng. Although the Wagang army attacked many times and tried to enter Cangcheng, they were all killed by the School of Kan. At the same time, the arrows were fired on the walls. The Wagang army had to retreat with great regret and regret that they had lost the opportunity to break the enemy. They watched the evil Chen Sangliang retreat into Luokoucang and defend, and had no choice but to use Luokoucang City, which had been raised and reinforced.

It was also when the Wagang Army retreated resentfully. Chen Sangliang, under the guidance of He Yanyu, saw the flower-shaped flag in the Wagang Army. Looking at the flag in the torch light, Chen Sangliang was full of thoughts, and suddenly felt sad and couldn't help crying loudly. Liu Changgong, He Yanyu and others next to him were shocked and asked Chen Sangliang why he was sad. Chen Sangliang ignored it, but just looked up to the sky and shouted: "Marrior Zhang, I have tried my best, but I can't do anything. I have left too little time. I still couldn't bring all the soldiers you left behind. I'm sorry for you."
