Chapter 201 Three red lines were drawn for Dong Zhuo(1/2)
What?
Li Que suffered more than half of his casualties?
It’s not even half an hour, and there are nearly 2,000 casualties?
What kind of joke was Han Sui making? What kind of battle was he fighting?
Dong Zhuo had some knowledge of Liu Bei's military strength.
Although some fortifications have been built, there are only more than a thousand defenders at best. How powerful can they be, no matter how powerful they are?
I never expected that Li Que would be crippled in one confrontation.
Among the horse thieves in Liangzhou, Li Que ranks in the top five. How could he suffer such a big loss?
After receiving the battle report, a picture soon appeared in Dong Zhuo's mind.
The courtyard is surrounded by trenches and gill nets, and bunkers are built at key locations to connect with the trenches.
When Li Que charged, the trench bunker suddenly started firing, catching Li Que's troops who were blocked by obstacles off guard, resulting in a large number of casualties.
In addition, these bunkers are almost impossible to open from the outside, and they cause cross-inflicted damage to each other, further increasing casualties.
Phew!
The big-eared thief is indeed insidious!
Worthy of being a lifelong enemy.
The more this happens, the more it must be eliminated to avoid future troubles.
"Zhang Ji, take your people and launch three more artillery pieces to have a look. Keep an eye on them!"
Judging from the situation of the Yongmen battle, even six artillery pieces can win the artillery battle, so Dong Zhuo generously allocated three artillery pieces.
Zhang Ji was overjoyed when he heard this, and finally waited for the opportunity to show off. Now he not only had artillery, but also had the power to supervise Han Sui.
Killing Liu Bei is a great achievement.
"Please rest assured, commander, the general will definitely urge them to attack and sweep away the northern suburbs."
Uncle and nephew Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu drove north in high spirits, and Dong Zhuo once again turned his attention to Yongmen.
The city defense artillery near Yongmen has been completely destroyed, and Shangximen and Guangyangmen will not last long.
"Hua Xiong!"
Hua Xiong knew that he was preparing to attack the city and immediately stepped forward to take orders.
"The end is here!"
"In a quarter of an hour, prepare to attack the city!"
Hua Xiong replied with a loud voice: "Yes! If we can't take Yongmen, we will finally come to see you!"
Soon, the Liangzhou infantry advanced two hundred steps outside Yongmen and stood by.
In fact, there are no more defenders on the dilapidated city.
When the artillery battle began, He Jin and Lu Wei had already withdrawn the tower.
Seeing the cannonballs flying, the city walls crumbling, and the soldiers' flesh and blood flying everywhere, the pampered general and the city gate captain were scared to death.
If the general is like this, how can his subordinates have the heart to resist? They can run if they can and hide if they can.
When the Liangzhou artillery troops moved their positions to deal with the remaining city defense artillery, Hua Xiong drew his long knife and pointed it at Yongmen.
"My sons, whoever gets there first will be rewarded with a thousand pieces of gold, and will be promoted to a higher position! Go ahead!"
Three thousand Liangzhou infantry carrying ladders burst through the embankment like a tidal wave, and poured into the incomplete breaches at the head of Yongmen City.
Xu Rong asked Duan Yan to lead the cavalry and shoot at the remaining defenders at the top of the city to block reinforcements.
Although the city wall of Dongdu was nearly three feet high, the Liangzhou infantry were also tough and brave, fighting desperately to take the lead, and the situation turned out to be one-sided.
Suddenly, a burst of cheers broke out.
A strong man suddenly jumped up to the top of the city, cut down the guard on the opposite side with a knife, and guarded the crenel.
Following closely behind, three or five comrades quickly climbed onto the city to secure a foothold.
"The city is broken! Kill!"
As the morale of the Liangzhou side rose, the defenders seemed to have received a slap in the face, and their momentum dropped sharply.
At this time, at least two more city walls were captured by the Liangzhou Army.
With more flowers blooming, the defenders were attacked from both sides and could no longer hold on.
Run!
The general and the captain have all run away, so let’s stop working for them!
One side was as powerful as a tiger, and the other was defeated. Hua Xiong only needed three quarters of an hour to capture Yongmen.
"Okay! Good!"
Dong Zhuo looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hua Xiong, a true tiger general!"
The fall of Yongmen shook the eastern capital, and the Yulin Army and the Tiger Army rushed to the rescue.
However, Hua Xiong opened the city gate, and Xu Rong led 30,000 troops into the city, and immediately taught Yulin Huben how to behave.
Zhou Zhong stood at the gate of the imperial city, feeling sad as he watched his subordinates being beaten by the Liangzhou army and running away with their heads in their hands.
Xiyuan Xia Mou and Chunyu Qiong knew that the situation was not good, so they guarded the Xiyuan military camp and did not reinforce the imperial city, assuming a posture of not helping each other.
When Xu Rong surrounded the Nangong and North Palace, he waited for Dong Zhuo's further instructions.
By chance, Dong Zhuo received a messenger, one of Li Que's subordinates, a hundred generals who had been captured in the northern suburbs.
"Tell me, what does the big-eared thief have to say?"
"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, the big-eared thief said three things. First, he is not allowed to enter the palace. Second, he is not allowed to kill or commit adultery. Third, anyone who violates the first two will be punished by his clan!"
A group of Liangzhou horse thieves were immediately furious.
"What the hell, who does he think he is?"
"I want to get in, come and bite me if you can!"
"Commander, hurry into the city and catch the Queen Mother and the Little Emperor. Let's enjoy it too!"
The muscles on Dong Zhuo's face twitched. He stared at the messenger for a long time and said, "The big-eared thief who messed with my mind will definitely die, but you are the disgrace of Liangzhou, behead him!"
All the soldiers rushed forward, swords and swords fell, and chopped hundreds of generals into pieces.
Dong Zhuo glanced at Li Ru, who understood.
"Ahem, Commander, my officers and soldiers from Liangzhou are loyal to the king and are righteous soldiers. I have maintained strict military discipline and never committed any crimes."
Dong Zhuo softened his expression and said with a smile: "Wen You's words make sense! I am loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and will never harm or disturb the people. You should also restrain your subordinates and not pick quarrels and cause trouble!"
All the generals looked at each other, but they also understood that Old Dong was still worried until Liu Bei solved it.
"Here! I obey the commander's orders!"
It was not until this time that Dong Zhuo ordered the entire army to enter the city and go straight to the North Palace of the Imperial City.
Zhang Ji and Zhang Embroidered Cowhide coaxed him to Liu Bei's courtyard and marveled at the more than ten bunkers.
Han Sui, Li Que and Guo Si saw Zhang Ji and urged him to quickly use artillery to blow down three or four bunkers and open up the attack route.
Ma Chao and Ma Xiu lived in the same bunker. Ma Xiu pointed at the battle flag with the word "Han" and gritted his teeth.
"Brother, that's Old Thief Han!"
Ma Chao glanced at it and actually noticed it a long time ago.
"I've been waiting for several years, what's the rush? Let's see how I kill him!"
Matthew pointed to the three artillery pieces on the opposite side and reminded: "They have cannons!"
"What are you afraid of? You haven't seen it. This bunker is very thick and the terrain is low. Let them blow it up!"
Zhang Ji didn't talk nonsense. He came here to grab the battle merits. It's better to fight early and grab a wave of enemies before entering the east.

"Target, frontal bunker, fire!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Three guns were fired in unison, causing mud to fly and stone chips to fly.
But the bunker seems to have no major damage.
Zhang Ji frowned and said: "Go on, blow it up for me! Blow it up until it's flat!"
"Boom, boom, boom..."
Ma Chao, his brother and the guards hid in the dark corner of the bunker, listening to the sound of cannons and feeling the tremors of the bunker.
Occasionally, blown grass stems and dead branches flew into the shooting hole and fell on me, which was really painful.
