Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 117

Cui Yao, the secret agent of the Ministry of Hearing in Tongguan, witnessed Yuwentai's six thousand Qingqi leaving the customs at night, and tens of thousands of infantry came in.

A big net specially set up for Dou Tai has been opened.

He desperately wanted to pass the news back, but since Yu Wentai left the customs, the entire Tongguan Pass has been under martial law, no entry or exit is allowed.

Cui Yao was in despair, it was a sense of powerlessness as he watched [-] infantry fall.

Yu Wentai led [-] riders out of the pass and lay in ambush far away. He was waiting, waiting for Dou Tai to march to Tongguan.

But he was not completely sure, Yu Wentai was betting, betting on Dou Tai's repeated victories and pride, and was deceived by him.

Dou Tai, who was stationed in Fenglingdu, was indeed fooled.

Different people will perceive the behavior of the same person differently.

In Dou Tai's view, Yu Wentai, who was far away in Chang'an, made a safe choice: one team guarded various passes to guard against the Kanto, and the other went west to pursue Ke Zhu Hunyuan.

Therefore, he has no doubts about the authenticity of the news.

And Gao Cheng knew that Yuwentai liked to make dangerous moves, and when Kansai was at an absolute disadvantage, often only a trick could turn the tables.

But the fundamental reason for Zhu Hunyuan's return to the east was lack of confidence in the new Kansai regime.

As a strategist who is also well versed in people's hearts, Gao Cheng put himself in Yuwentai's position, and his first consideration was definitely not the issue of Zhu Hunyuan's return to the east.

But Zhu Hunyuan did not have the appeal of Uncle Liu Huang. It was impossible for people from Qinzhou and Weizhou to leave their hometowns and follow him to escape to the Kanto.

It's great to let thousands of households from the Zhu Hunyuan tribe return to the east. There is not much change in the comparison of the strengths of the Kanto and Kansai.

Let Gao Cheng choose, he will target Dou Tai.

He would never choose the method of dispersing the people, not to mention the communication problem of thousands of miles apart, even if he successfully intercepted and killed Ke Zhu Hunyuan, it would only be a loss inside Kansai, and it would not have much effect on boosting people's hearts.

The nascent Kansai regime urgently needs a victory to appease the hearts of the people, and once Dou Tai's army is swallowed up, the loss to the Gao family is far greater than the gain of Zhu Hunyuan's defection.

Gao Cheng believes that with Yu Wentai's resourcefulness, he will not fail to see this opportunity.

It was Gao Huan who provided Yuwentai with this opportunity.

Dou Tai is famous for his cavalry raids, but Gao Huan believes that once Yu Wentai chooses to go west to intercept Ke Zhu Hunyuan, Dou Tai's task will be to storm Tongguan, either to win this world-famous pass, or force Yu Wentai to return to aid .

Therefore, in Gao Huan's view, cavalry can't play much role in this battle.

No matter how rich and powerful he was, Gao Huan couldn't do the stupid thing of dispatching cavalry to attack the city with enough infantry under his command.

Only then did Yu Wentai have the opportunity to command [-] infantry to advance aggressively, a cavalry general who has won many victories and is proud of himself.

In the third year of Taichang, that is, in 534 AD, May [-]th.

Dou Tai's [-] infantry marched southward from Fenglingdu across the Yellow River to Tongguan.

He faithfully completed the combat order issued by Gao Huan before sending troops: once Yuwentai advances westward, he will immediately storm Tongguan and force Yuwentai to return to the army. Go to Hongnong County and guard the city.

Yu Wentai, who was hiding in the south of Tongguan, finally got the news that Dou Tai crossed the river.

"Everyone! Dou Tai has entered the urn, this battle must be won!"

In the wilderness, Yu Wentai looked at the accompanying cavalry and said loudly.

The appearance of Zhizhu in his hands greatly encouraged the soldiers.

They are all battle-tested generals, no one can't understand that Dou Tai is already in deep death.

There are tens of thousands of infantry secretly stationed in Tongguan, and another [-] Qingqi ambushed outside the pass. Once Dou Tai arrives at Tongguan, the Qingqi outside the pass and the infantry inside the pass will attack each other, and all of them will be defeated.

Dou Tai was ignorant of his dangerous situation. He even thought about capturing Tongguan, joining Gao Huan's Jinyang army to march westward and heading straight for Chang'an.

Over the years, Gao Huan has fought too many smooth battles, which also made Dou Tai despise the heroes of the world. The leader of Kansai, He Bayue, who has always been regarded as the enemy of Kanto, was buried in Hequ after Gao Huan used some tricks. The doubt once again increased the arrogance of the Kwantung soldiers.

He Bayue, who almost single-handedly pacified Guanlong, died, so what commendable achievements did Yu Wentai have.

Dou Tai often plays the vanguard of Gao Huan, but he is not a foolish man.

Wei Ke attacked Huaishuo alone, and when the city was broken, Dou Tai's father and brother all died in battle.

Dou Tai didn't care about his wife Lou Hei Nv, so he carried the remains of his father and brother to Er Zhurong thousands of miles away, and was appointed as the governor of the tent and participated in the military affairs.

Er Zhurong defeated Luoyang, and began to lead the army by worshiping General Ningyuan, General Huben Zhonglang, and the forward commander.

Later, he followed Yuan Tianmu and Gao Huan to conquer Xing Gao, and because of his military exploits, he was promoted to General Fuguo and General Xiaoqi, and was granted the title of Viscount.

When Gao Huan was out of town in Jinzhou, Liu Gui, who was undercover by Er Zhurong's side, took Dou Tai under his command, and he always consulted with him on every military matter.

Among the high-ranking generals of the Gao family, the brave and resourceful Dou Tai did not gain his current status solely by virtue of his in-law relationship.

Since he was ready to siege the city when he left Jinyang, Dou Tai didn't have to conquer Xuzhou like Gao Cheng, but had to temporarily build siege equipment when he walked to Pengcheng City.

There are [-] infantry lined up outside the pass, and there are all kinds of equipment such as siege vehicles, catapults, and ladders.

Dou Tai is straddling the horse, looking at Xiongguan in the distance, a sense of pride is born from his heart: Who said that Dou Tai can only fight horses!It's all right for Yu Wentai to return to his teacher, if he doesn't return for a long time, I will definitely take this pass and open the way for King Gao to go west!

Zhao Gui stood at the head of Tongguan City and looked down on Dou Tai's army. The [-] infantry were well-organized, obviously a battle-hardened force, and Gao Huan did not dispatch miscellaneous troops to fool things.

The experience of being expelled by Ke Zhu Hunyuan made Zhao Gui deeply ashamed.

But he also has a reason: If you give me such an army, how can you lose Qinzhou so easily.

Fortunately, Yu Wentai was able to understand his difficulties and did not blame him.

Hou Mo and Chen Yue failed to take the first battle, but the soldiers broke up. Zhao Gui, who had just left the town of Qinzhou, knew exactly what kind of morale the soldiers of Qinzhou had, so he abandoned the city and fled.

When he was aggrieved, a catapult outside the city threw the collected boulders at the city wall, and Zhao Gui hurriedly avoided.

Seeing the formation of Dou Tai's army rushed out of countless queues, stepping on drums to push the siege vehicles and ladders towards Tongguan.

Zhao Gui hastily ordered:

"Wave the flag."

The soldiers in charge of the flag moved after hearing the order.

In fact, Zhao Gui's signal was not needed, and Yu Wentai, who ventured to the front line to watch in person, rode his horse back to the army immediately after seeing Dou Tai start to attack the city.

Looking at the Six Thousand Qingqi led out of the customs by himself, Yu Wentai encouraged everyone to say:

"Grand He Ba has done us a great favor, but he was innocently killed by Gao Huan. Now Dou Tai is unprepared and in danger of death, everyone! Revenge for Duke He Ba begins today!"

The crowd shouted in unison:

"Revenge for Duke He Ba!"

"Okay! Send me the military order! The whole army is on horseback!"

With one order, 6000 people got on their horses.

Yu Wentai turned his horse's head, raised his arm, and shouted:
"Soldiers, follow me to kill!"

Dou Tai has been watching Tongguan City Wall.

Billowing thick smoke shot straight into the sky from Tongguan, and the siege soldiers flocked to the city wall like ants, using ladders to climb up and fight the defenders.

The kerosene that was on fire was poured down by the defenders, and the fire man was thrashing and struggling on the ground, and the screams were unbearable.

It is a blessing that the soldiers who were thrown off the ladder by rolling logs or boulders fell to their deaths on the spot.

When the boiled golden juice is poured down on the head, it is the real life that is worse than death.

Dou Tai's heart is like a stone, if he wants to conquer Xiongguan, casualties are inevitable, as a general, being ruthless is only the most basic quality.

Dou Tai, who had been focusing on the city wall of Tongguan, suddenly felt the ground shaking.

Dou Tai, who is a cavalry general, immediately changed his color. This is because a large group of cavalry charged.

Sure enough, after a few breaths, there was the sound of roaring horseshoes from the south, Dou Tai turned his head and looked, based on his many years of experience in the army, he saw thousands of horses.

At this time, Dou Tai still didn't understand that he was fooled. Yu Wentai didn't go west to intercept Zhu Hunyuan at all, otherwise how could the cavalry appear on the battlefield.

A general anxiously said:

"General! Quickly order Mingjin to retreat! Tell the siege soldiers to retreat and form an array to defend against the enemy!"

Dou Tai had blue veins on his forehead, he roared:
"Call the gold immediately! It's too late to form an formation at this time, and the whole army will follow me northward to cross the river!"

This seems to be to give up the soldiers who are still attacking the city and let them hinder the pace of the pursuers.

Dou Tai knew very well that since the Kansai cavalry went east, a large number of infantry must be stationed in Tongguan, and this was determined to encircle him under the city of Tongguan.

If you don't leave, let alone the siege soldiers, all the 2 people who went south will be buried here.

The generals faithfully conveyed Dou Tai's military order, and the deafening sound of gongs resounded across the battlefield, and the whole army fled northward. During the march, one of the generals pointed at Tongguan and exclaimed:
"General! Look! The defenders of Tongguan have come out!"

Dou Taixun glanced at the prestige, and tens of thousands of people poured out from Tongguan to cover and kill the scattered siege soldiers.

At the same time, the Kansai cavalry, who came into view at the same time, bypassed the rout under the command of the commander.

Dou Tai's face sank like water, and the other party made up his mind to stay in Tongguan.

"Go quickly, you will be safe when you get on the boat at the ferry. If you disperse at this time, you will be slaughtered by thieves. Only with one heart going north can you have a chance."

Dou Tai was still struggling to maintain the troops that did not participate in the siege. Although he abandoned the siege soldiers, he did not abandon the army.

Otherwise, relying on the steed under his crotch, why would he not be able to escape.

But the legs of the pawns under his command are not as good as Yuwentai's Qingqi after all.

Dou Tai's trilogy was easily cut off by Yu Wentai's army.

It's right to think about it. During the siege, they were ambushed and attacked by two sides. The soldiers had already become frightened birds, and they didn't have the heart to fight.

"General, we have horses, why don't we go first, and leave them for us to plan for the future!"

Seeing that the army was in chaos, the generals persuaded them one after another.

However, Dou Tai saw the [-] troops going south, but was ambushed. He felt ashamed to see Gao Huan again, and he did not want to be captured by the Western Army, so he said to the generals:
"Today's defeat is due to Dou Tai alone. You go back to Jinyang and sue King Gao for me."

After all, he wanted to raise his sword and kill himself.

There are horses galloping in the east.

A general looked at Xun Sheng and said happily:
"Look, general!"
