It seemed to be thinking that it would rain, and the weather was extremely stuffy. In the tent of the Lingzhou Army's central army, which was airtight, it was stuffy and hot. Chen Ying stood in front of the map, with a circle of sweat and water stains under his feet. I don't know how long he had been standing here.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Chen Ying said without looking back: "Is there any news about the scout sent to Taiyuan? What about Taiyuan now?"

Liang Zan Ai Ai said in a statement: "Corpsy Mountain...Sea of ​​Blood!"

Liang Zan was not very talented, and he was in charge of Yizhe Chongfu's troops, which made him feel like a big head. In desperation, Chen Ying had no way to force others. He transferred the Yueqin Captain Zhao Chunyang to the first Zhe Chongfu of Dingyuan Army as the commander of Zuo Guoyi. Although Liang Zan was still the first Zhe Chongfu of Dingyuan Army, at this time, the commander of the first Zhe Chongfu of Dingyuan Army changed back to his old position and became Chen Ying's personal army, the commander of the commander of the Zhe Chongfu of Chen Ying.

The sea of ​​corpses and blood... very vividly describes the situation in Taiyuan. Liu Wu and Zhou led Taiyuan City, raised the banner of the Tianxing Army, and recruited troops on the spot. However, Taiyuan, as Li Yuan's place where he started, Li Yuan had a very strong foundation in the hearts of the people. However, it was not impossible to respond to Liu Wuzhou, but most of them were poor families and dilapidated families. These poor families and dilapidated families began to liquidate as soon as they picked up their weapons.

The wealthy and wealthy families in Taiyuan City, regardless of good or bad, were all their wealth confiscated and killed. Of course, there was no overnight food in the poor and dilapidated families, and there was nothing to rob. In the first month when Liu Wuzhou occupied Taiyuan alone, more than 30,000 people were killed in Taiyuan City, and countless people destroyed their families and destroyed their clans.

Today, the land of Dragon Rising in the Tang Dynasty has become a city of death.

A sea of ​​corpses and blood also made the eyes of the generals of the Dingyuan Army red. Their resentment came up again, and they looked at Chen Ying's back with grief. At the generals of the Dingyuan Army, especially the lieutenant level, many of them were veterans who followed Li Yuan to raise an army in Taiyuan. They were either their families or relatives in Taiyuan. When they learned that Taiyuan City was killed and blood flowed into a river, they only had one thought in their heads - revenge.

Chen Ying turned around and looked at Liang Zan and said, "Appointment, take advantage of the cool night weather and set off."

Chen Ying did not want to pull out the nail in Taiyuan, but before entering Taiyuan, Yanmen Pass could not fly. Yanmen Pass was an important pass on the Great Wall. It is known for its "danger", and is known as the "first pass in China". It is said that "the world is nine passes, with Yanmen as the leader". With Ningwu Pass, the border pass is called the "three passes in the outside world". Although Chen Ying suddenly entered Hedong from the Hetao area and caught the Turks and Liu Wuzhou off guard. However, five days have passed, and even if Liu Wuzhou climbed, it should have climbed in front of Liu Wuzhou. Now Liu Wuzhou has not made any abnormal movements, which is very strange.

The only explanation is that Liu Wuzhou must not be so stubborn.

...

In fact, as Chen Ying guessed, Liu Wuzhou really didn't hold back his weight.

Liu Wuzhou now basically occupied Hedong and created an unprecedentedly good situation. However, he did not become arrogant for a moment, but was more cautious. After being in the army for a long time, he had seen countless amazing people die in the word "superior", so he was more cautious than anyone else.

When he heard Chen Ying raiding Hedong, he did not immediately meet the enemy, but instead collected information from the Five Soldiers Zhang Lun. The news of this era was too slow to spread, and Liu Wuzhou could actually collect very limited information. However, he got Chen Ying's defeat to the Turks four times, thus receiving the evaluation of "unparalleled field battles".

Liu Wuzhou's family was stronger than the Liang army at this time. Although the cavalry was not as good as the Turks, it was more than enough to pull up 20,000 cavalry. These cavalry were a crucial decisive force for other Tang troops. However, he knew better that these 20,000 cavalry were actually troops of cavalry, and it was a joke to put them in front of Chen Ying.

Even Shiliver had suffered a great loss in front of Chen Ying. Even Shibi Khan could have severely injured the fierce man in front of the battle. He was a beggar and the Dragon Prince. Therefore, Liu Wuzhou led his more than 10,000 elite troops to station him in Yanmen Pass. In order to avoid fighting with Chen Ying, he even arranged the cavalry in Yanmen Pass. Although he could obtain room for maneuver, he fought against Chen Yingdan, who had defeated Turkic cavalry, and Liu Wuzhou's cavalry was still too weak.

Liu Wuzhou once carefully analyzed Chen Ying's combat methods. Whether Chen Ying took Lingzhou or Bogulu City or Fengzhou City, he basically did not go through similar siege operations. He came to an astonishing conclusion that Chen Ying was not good at attacking and defending the city. This is Chen Ying's weakness. If he did not make good use of this weakness, Liu Wuzhou would have had a meal for more than ten years.

"As long as you guard Yanmen Pass, you will be victorious!" Liu Wuzhou said to Shangshu Zhang Lun with great certainty: "Chiluo Khan will not let Chen Ying go. As long as Chen Ying hits his head and bloody at Yanmen Pass, Chuiluo Khan will definitely send a Turkic army to attack his retreat. Yanmen Pass will be Chen Ying's burial place."

However, Liu Wuzhou did not say what happened later. As long as he could not stop Chen Ying, or if Chen Ying could break through Yanmen Pass without any effort, the Turks would definitely turn around and hide in the desert and go deep into the desert. The Turks were cunning foxes. They would take advantage of it, but without it, they would flee thousands of miles away.

In order to defend Yanmen Pass, Liu Wuzhou was very prepared. Not only did he use the most defensive general under his command, the Inner Shi Ling (equivalent to Prime Minister) Fan Junzhang as the general manager of the Yanmen Pass, and at the same time, he appointed Fan Junzhang's son as the envoy of Xingtai. Like Song Jingang, Fan Junzhang was both Liu Wuzhou's brother-in-law.

After receiving the order, Fan Junzhang immediately prepared to defend Yanmen. There was originally a dense forest outside the city. In order to prevent Chen Yinghui from using the trees in this dense forest to build siege equipment, he mobilized more than 8,000 soldiers to cut down trees day and night. When Liu Wuzhou led more than 18,000 to Yanmen Pass, the entire forest that stretched for more than ten miles outside Yanmen Pass was unable to see even a tree as thick as a bowl.

Of course, Fan Junzhang did even more. Not only did he cut off all the trees, Yanmen Mountain was a stone mountain with many stones in the mountains, but most of them were huge rocks, which could be used directly as stone bullets, such as 35 to 150 kilograms of stones. Fan Junzhang sent all the men to pick them up and throw them into Hutuo River.

Reducing Chen Ying's advantage of Yanmen Mountain and madly strengthening Yanmen Guanguan City was part of Fan Junzhang's work. At the same time, he was very prepared when preparing defensive materials. Some of the cut down trees were used to burn quicklime, and some were used to make trench machines. He also used the water war pole invented by Yang Su of the Sui Dynasty to transplant it to Yanmen Guanguan City.

At the same time, Fan Junzhang also prepared to use more than fifty bed crossbows to create hundreds of catapults. Of course, there are all kinds of stones, rolling wood, and gray bottles and gold juice.

...

When Chen Ying led the first Dingyuan Army to cross the Hutuo River, he did not encounter harassment from Liu Wuzhou's army or Turkic cavalry. Chen Ying was in a very good mood. Chen Ying wanted to pretend to say: "Liu Wuzhou's son does not know about the soldiers. If he arranged thousands of soldiers here, our army would be very difficult to cross the river!"
