"Okay! Let the soldiers have a good meal today, and attack Hulao Pass tomorrow. If we win, we will never return!" Yuan Shaohao said angrily.
The princes in the tent agreed one after another. Each prince had a small calculation in his mind. Yuan Shao was eager to break Hulao Pass, but it was more for family matters. Otherwise, why would he not have seen Yuan Shao so anxious before?
Yuan Shu was very excited. If this strategy succeeded, his position in the alliance would rise. It was not impossible to replace Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance. Thinking of Yuan Shao's arrogance all day long after he became the leader of the alliance, Yuan Shu felt
There is a big stone blocking my chest
The next day, the sky was clear and the scorching sun hung high in the sky. Under the scorching sun, Hulao Prison could clearly see the bloodstains on the city wall, which added a bit of majesty to this majestic barrier. It has experienced more than a hundred years.
During the year of peace, the sound of war drums and the shouts of soldiers were heard again in front of Hulao Pass.
Outside Hulao Pass, the princes' armies gathered. Except for the white horse Yi Cong who defended the Chinese army, the rest of the soldiers devoted themselves to the battlefield siege. The coalition invested about 80,000 troops, divided into four waves.

Looking at the densely packed coalition soldiers outside the pass, Jia Rong couldn't help but sigh. If the coalition forces had invested so many troops at once when they first arrived, it would have been a huge problem whether Hulao Pass could be held. After the battles before and after, the gate was closed.
The defenders already have a tacit understanding, and their cooperation is no longer unfamiliar.
The firm eyes of the closed soldiers and the bright swords and guns in their hands seemed to tell the princes' army's determination to defend the city.
The successive victories made the morale within the pass rise to an unprecedented high, and the princes' response to the battle resulted in a rainbow of morale within the pass.
More than 20 rushing cars appeared in Jia Rong's field of vision.
Jia Rong took a breath of air. He didn't expect that the princes' army already had so many siege tools. It seemed that the princes' army had not been idle during this period. Judging from the brand-new appearance of the rams, these rams had just been released not long ago.
Although the city wall of Hulao Pass was thick, it could not withstand the continuous collision of rams. When the city wall it relied on was breached, Hulao Pass was declared to have fallen.
Hundreds of ladders were set up by coalition soldiers at Hulao Pass.
On the mountain, the coalition soldiers desperately rained arrows at the gate. Most of the dense arrow rain fell on the hanging cowhide, but a few arrows still hit the gate.
When I closed the door, I had already set up a pot to boil oil, and the oil in the pot was steaming with bubbles.
The chariot was covered with cowhide, which showed that the princes were fully prepared.
Looking at the rushing team rushing to the city, Jia Rong sneered and shouted: "Let go!"
The coalition soldiers saw dozens of boulders as big as millstones falling out of the air with great force. It was too late to avoid them, and they stared at the boulders in horror with their eyes wide open.
An assault vehicle could not withstand the impact of the boulders and was broken into pieces. The soldier driving the assault vehicle looked dumbfounded.
After one round, there were only three rush cars left that rushed to the pass. The soldiers beside the rush cars were stunned by the sudden change. They forgot their mission for a while. They didn't expect that the big rocks falling from the sky would still be there by themselves.
It rises and falls, beyond the awareness of the soldiers.
The boulder that fell to the ground slowly rose up. After careful inspection, there was now a thick and long rope tied to the boulder. Several soldiers worked together, and the boulder rose to the height of the city wall again. Taking aim slightly
After that, the boulder fell again.
All three ramming vehicles were destroyed, and more than a dozen unlucky soldiers were smashed into meat patties, which was unsightly. The boulder was stained with blood.
The soldiers beside the charging car dispersed in a hurry and ran to the rear. Within a moment, a tragic howl was heard. Being killed was not terrible, but seeing your companions smashed into pulp with your own eyes was a visual shock.
Just imagine.
With the lessons learned from the past, the dozen or so rushing vehicles behind were much more cautious, and their eyes were fixed on the large rocks hanging from the Hulao gate.
The ruthless boulders not only smashed into the car, but also took away the lives of allied soldiers, becoming a nightmare for the siege soldiers.
The huge boulders rendered the charge useless and left a shadow in the hearts of the coalition soldiers. The soldiers who charged would always glance up at the city from time to time to see if the boulders had fallen.

Not only huge rocks, but also pots of boiling oil were poured down mercilessly by the soldiers who closed the door. The screams and fighting sounds of the coalition soldiers were endless.
There was no shortage of capable people in the coalition forces. Under the order of a general, the archers shot at the closed boulder. After the rope was shot, it made a popping sound when it fell to the ground.
The car-rushing soldiers are active again, but you need to be careful of the closed wooden boulders at all times. If the car-rushing unit is broken, you can do it again. If your life is lost, it will be lost.
With the rawhide hanging outside the pass, the soldiers on the well fence needed certain skills to shoot arrows into the pass.
Twenty thousand troops attacked the city together, and the soldiers at the gate did not have any scruples. They shot arrow after arrow. If they could hit a soldier at the gate, they would be excited for a long time.
However, whenever a soldier was injured in the gate, two soldiers would quickly come to his side and carry him away.
Although the battle lasted for a long time, the soldiers in the gate were still healthy, and the injured soldiers all retreated to the second line. As for the soldiers who were slightly injured, they refused treatment without hesitation.
These changes in the situation can greatly boost the morale of the soldiers. Each soldier does not have to worry about what will happen after being injured. Some of Dong Jun's soldiers persisted tenaciously after being injured, seeming to have forgotten the general's instructions before leaving. Some Dong Jun soldiers
In order to protect the soldiers of the Xiliang Army, the soldiers of the Xiliang Army were even willing to throw themselves at the coalition soldiers at the risk of their lives, and there were scenes of touching stories unfolding behind closed doors.
The soldiers of Dong's army also had high morale. They stared closely at the soldiers climbing up from the ladders, and they continued to wreak havoc downwards from the holes of the arrow clusters. Like the soldiers on the well railing, they were numb to the wails of the coalition soldiers.
One ladder after another was pushed down by the defenders, and another ladder was put up. As a last resort, Jia Rong had to give an order to bring up the spare soldiers.
Even so, there were still coalition soldiers who climbed up without fear of arrows and fought with all their strength against the closed defenders to buy time for their companions.
In the army of the princes, Yuan Shao saw the allied soldiers ascending the city wall. He gave an order and the drums beat loudly. The spirit of the allied soldiers was shaken. The charge car that left the battlefield slowly drove out. The defenders who had closed the door had no time to take care of themselves. The charge began.
Showing off his power, the "dong-dong" crashing sound made the defenders behind the gate feel the city wall under their feet trembling slightly.
Although the defenders in the pass are brave, there are also many warriors in the coalition forces. Before the war, the generals of various departments had conducted pre-war agitation, and the reward for killing a defender was clearly marked. Although most people did not really want to join the army, they could not bear to do so.
Generous rewards are coming.
Chongchejinglan Tushan, these things are always frightening the defenders on the city.
Jia Rong gave a few orders in a low voice. Zhao Yun led 500 Blood Guards to patrol the gate continuously. However, enemy soldiers climbed onto the city wall and immediately swarmed up. Whenever the Blood Guards' powerful combat power reached a place, the enemy soldiers were among them.
Jing, the Blood Guards are carefully selected from the Xiliang Army. Everyone has good skills. They may not know as much as the lone wolf soldiers, but they know how to protect the general on the battlefield and how to eliminate them quickly.
enemy.
With the encouragement of the Blood Guards, the defenders of the pass worked together, and the soldiers who boarded the pass were quickly eliminated.
The closed boulder began to rise and fall again. Before the boulder fell, screams could always be heard. The soldiers in charge of the boulder showed a cheerful smile. At first, they could not bear it, but they saw each and every one of them fell to the enemy mercilessly.
Under the rain of arrows from the army, their unbearability turned into inner comfort, and the screams of the enemy soldiers were like beautiful fairy music to their ears.
The drums of the coalition forces were still rumbling, but Yuan Shao's brows were knitted together, and all the soldiers who rushed to the gate were quickly killed.
Once again, a dozen tanks slowly walked out of the coalition forces. Unlike the rush vehicles, these tanks were covered with rawhide and smeared with mud, making them very inconspicuous.
The coalition soldiers were holding shovels and sweating profusely, and there were soldiers on the side helping to transport soil.
Although the garrison behind the gate saw these strange chariots, they didn't take it seriously and continued to kill the enemy.
The defenders who climbed onto the city wall were eliminated, and Jia Rong divided the reserve forces again. This siege battle by the coalition forces must be protracted, as can be seen just by looking at the soldiers in the coalition forces who were ready.
Xiliang Iron Cavalry 333
More than a dozen strange chariots were parked there, and there was still no movement until noon.
The coalition soldiers retreated, and the defenders behind the gate let out a roar that shook the sky. Many soldiers were injured and were unwilling to walk off the battlefield. The friendship between Pao Ze heated up during the battle. This is a kind of friendship that dares to give one's back to others.
.
Jia Rong touched the blood on his face, took the bread from the soldier, chewed a few mouthfuls, and looked at the cheering Pao Ze, with a heavy expression on his face.
"Report, General, the defenders in the pass heard a lot of noise underground, as if the ground was about to collapse."
Jia Rong took the noodles out of his mouth and said hurriedly: "Take me there."
When the soldiers guarding the urn saw Jia Rong's arrival, they hurriedly stepped forward to explain.
Jia Rong listened to the clear banging and rubbing sounds inside the urn, and a smile appeared on his lips. Unexpectedly, the coalition forces outside the pass still used the method of digging tunnels. Even if these urns were not in vain, it seems that the princes have quite a lot of siege skills.
Yes, there are foreign soldiers acting as cover. If you are not prepared, the coalition forces may come in and take down the level.
There are many ways to deal with such rats, including setting fire and water, but Jia Rong doesn't want to disturb them. He wants to get the death of the coalition soldiers at the minimum cost, so why not.
Under Jia Rong's order, ditches about one and a half meters deep were dug, and the ground inside the pass became crisscrossed. The soldiers held weapons in hand and stared nervously at the ditch in front of them, because Jia Rong said that there would be coalition soldiers coming from
These grooves appear.
Leaving 500 soldiers to guard the city under the leadership of Hua Xiong, Jia Rong climbed up the city wall again, and pots of oil and huge boulders of wood were brought up.
In less than an hour, the allied forces of the princes began to attack the city again, and they seemed to be in a state of not resting until they conquered the pass.
