More than ten wells were just approaching Hulao Pass when they were met by dense rockets.
The well railing was made of wood, so it would not be a big deal if one or two rockets were encountered. However, such a dense firestorm caused the well railing to burst into flames. The soldiers on the well railing hurriedly ran down from the well railing. The morning's exposure to the sun caused these wells to ignite.
The trap removes moisture.
The coalition's siege in the afternoon was more sharp than that in the morning, but within half an hour, coalition soldiers climbed onto the city wall.
Jia Rong took the scimitar handed over by the soldier and suddenly handed it forward. A coalition soldier who had just climbed onto the city wall was unable to escape and was killed head-on. When the attack hit, Jia Rong's body was spattered with blood.
Zhang Liao and other generals were killing the enemy while cheering for their soldiers. The princes' arrows rained down on the city wall. This method of killing the enemy without distinguishing between ourselves and the enemy caused great inconvenience to the defenders.

After untold hardships, the coalition soldiers finally dug a secret passage to the city. Yuan Shao had a smile on his face. If the soldiers in the tunnel entered the pass, looking at the current situation, the defenders of the pass would definitely be inseparable. Hulao
Even if the barrier is broken.
The coalition soldiers in the tunnel were shocked when they saw the bright light. As soon as they stuck their heads out, a spear was thrust into their faces.
The bodies of the coalition soldiers were brought out one after another. The coalition soldiers in the tunnel did not know what was happening outside, and they still slowly moved into the pass. If the pass was not prepared in advance, the sudden appearance of the coalition soldiers would definitely be able to defeat them by surprise.
As a result, all the soldiers were issued a gag order before entering the tunnel, so there was no way to know the situation above.
The bodies of coalition soldiers were piled into small piles on the ground.
Hua Xiong sneered and said: "There are only so many tricks the coalition can use."
The soldiers behind him laughed happily when they heard this. Among the five hundred soldiers, there were not only Xiliang Army but also Dong Army. They looked at Hua Xiong with awe in their eyes. This former Dong Army's most powerful general is still powerful today.
Still exist.
The general in charge of the tunnel found that there were about three to four hundred soldiers who had walked in, but there had been no movement yet, so he hurriedly reported the matter to Yuan Shao.
"Meng De, what do you think?" Yuan Shao turned his attention to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao touched the beard under his chin, took a look at the battlefield situation, and said slowly: "Alliance leader, in my opinion, the defenders in the pass must be on alert. The battlefield situation is stalemate, and it is impossible for the defenders in the pass to divide their forces.
"
Yuan Shao nodded in agreement. Yuan Shu on the side was quite unhappy when he heard this. After all, he was the one who came up with the method of digging tunnels. He retorted: "Perhaps those soldiers gathered inside the pass with the intention of attacking together. It depends on the situation of the pass. If
These soldiers will surely win victory if they open the door in one fell swoop. Then..."
"Report, all the soldiers who entered the pass through the secret passage were killed by the defenders in the city." The news reported by the messenger gave Yuan Shu a resounding slap in the face.
Yuan Shao frowned and said calmly: "I already know about this matter."
"Order the soldiers in the secret passage to retreat." Yuan Shao ordered.
"Leader, don't worry. Even if we fight head-on, our army will not lose to the defenders in the city. The continuous siege has exhausted the defenders in the city. In my opinion, we should attack the city overnight without letting the defenders in the city."
The army rests." Cao Cao said with a heavy expression.
Yuan Shu snorted coldly and looked elsewhere.
Hulao Pass immediately became in danger under the full attack of the princes' armies. Jia Rong has been sitting on the city wall, maneuvering around, with a look of determination.
The soldier who closed the door was already exhausted, but when he saw that figure and the dense enemy corpses piled up around him, he carefully hid his fatigue and continued to fight. The giant boulders rolled down, without taking aim at all.
Allied soldiers attacked the city desperately.
The scimitar suddenly swung, and under the astonished expressions of the coalition soldiers, blood spattered. On such a battlefield, there is no such thing as timidity or boldness. Some of the coalition soldiers just numbly climbed the ladder, and the soldiers on the well guard shot arrow after arrow.
One arrow was fired at a time, and sometimes one was not allowed to hit one's own soldiers. At first, I felt a little guilty, but in the end I felt very normal. The battle continues until now. There are only three Allied Jinglans left, and they don't dare to attack Hulao Pass.
Moving closer, the soldiers on the well fence were afraid of the wolf-like and tiger-like defenders.
"Let Lu Bu lead the soldiers up, and leave a thousand people to pay close attention to the movements in the pass." Jia Rong ordered.
Xiliang Iron Cavalry 334
Fang Tian painted the halberd dancing tiger and tiger, and the enemy soldiers were all hit by the halberd. Many coalition soldiers who wanted to climb the city wall wanted to retreat after seeing this murderous god, but the coalition soldiers swarmed under the ladder.
How could anyone in front be allowed to retreat? The soldiers in front were pushed and shouted to the pass and onto the defenders' weapons.
Lu Bu snorted coldly, stepped forward, drew his halberd and cut off the iron hook hanging on the city wall, and held it against the ladder. His face turned slightly red, and the ladder swayed away from the city wall.
"Hey!" Lu Bu shouted, and the ladder slowly fell backwards. The coalition soldiers on the ladder screamed in horror.
The ladder fell to the ground, accompanied by the screams of the coalition soldiers. The ladder fell and injured more than a dozen coalition soldiers.
"Fengxian, you lead a hundred people to support various places along the way. Don't let the coalition soldiers climb the city wall. Let Zhao Yun lead the cavalry team to prepare." Jia Rong said hurriedly after killing a coalition soldier.
Beside Jia Rong, the corpses of more than a dozen coalition soldiers were lying scattered. The golden armor turned a little dark red under the influence of blood. It was still so obvious on the battlefield. The reward for killing Jia Rong was
, enough for a soldier to be rich for a lifetime. For the sake of glory and wealth, life seems insignificant.
The offensive of the Allied soldiers became more and more fierce. Allied soldiers continued to emerge from the tunnels in the city. Hua Xiong led 500 soldiers to stare at the ground attentively. Although the Allied soldiers lost thousands in the tunnels, according to Cao Cao
Tunnels can greatly draw the strength of the defenders.
More and more coalition soldiers boarded the city wall, and it was no use to prepare a thousand soldiers to enter the battlefield. The coalition generals may not be the opponents of Lu Bu, Zhao Yun and others, but they are better in numbers, and ordinary soldiers are no match for them. The coalition forces who boarded the city wall
There were more and more soldiers, and more than a dozen coalition soldiers gathered together to provide an opportunity for Pao Ze who came to the city from behind.
Jia Rongsha's hands were a little sore, and the defenders were already exhausted after continuous fighting.
The reserve soldiers scaled the city wall under the leadership of Lu Bu. With the addition of these fresh troops, the soldiers who scaled the city wall could not resist and were wiped out.
The battle lasted for a day and a night, and the soldiers who closed the door relied on their firm will, and their eyes were red.
"Brothers, the coalition forces are fierce, but if you think about it, if these coalition forces attack the pass, will they let us go? Pick up the weapons next to you. The battle now is just to save your own lives." Jia Rongyun shouted with all his strength.
Many soldiers heard Jia Rong's words and picked up their discarded weapons. Even if they were replaced, they should be ready to go up to support at any time. Even when the injured soldiers were carried off, they were still holding them tightly in their hands.
Keep weapons in mind, and every two hours, the soldiers will change their guard.
There were layers upon layers of corpses piled up inside the gate, both from enemy and friendly forces.
The Hulao Pass was not captured for one day and one night in a row. The morale of the coalition forces was greatly affected. None of the soldiers who stormed the city wall survived. This also made the coalition soldiers fearful of climbing the pass, and closed the trap, especially Li Shun's camp.
Most importantly, it is not about killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred, but killing three thousand enemies and losing eight hundred. It is an impeccable battle formation. There are three people, five people, seven people and eight people. As long as they have robes, these soldiers can do well.
With cooperation, Jia Rong achieved what Jia Rong said about killing the enemy at the minimum cost. Zhang Liao and other Dong Jun generals who were not far away were dumbfounded. The soldiers at the bottom may not be able to see the clues.
The princes from all walks of life could not bear such losses and all wanted to retreat.
So far in the battle, the coalition forces of the princes have less than 70,000 people left, and they lost 10,000 people in just one day, not counting the injured soldiers in the camp.
"Leader, withdraw the army." Zhang Yang, the governor of Shangdang, advised.
Yuan Shao snorted coldly and said: "Before we went out to the army, I made an oath that I would not give up until I conquered Hulao Pass. Don't try to persuade me again."
"The soldiers inside the pass are already exhausted. You just need to work harder to capture Hulao Pass." Yuan Shao continued.
Jia Rong shouted: "Cavalry attack!"
A thousand cavalry who were ready galloped across the pass in ten batches. The unprepared coalition soldiers suffered numerous casualties. The soldiers of the Xiliang Army guarding the pass were very familiar with this combat method and could evade with ease. However, Dong Jun's soldiers
They didn’t know how to cooperate. Although they had been mentally prepared for it, many soldiers were still injured when they were charged by the cavalry. Moreover, there were densely packed corpses at the door. This required the cavalry to have high riding skills. The Xiliang Army had already been fighting against Han.
This was accomplished at the time.
Xiliang Iron Cavalry 334
Ten batches of cavalry in succession wiped out all the coalition soldiers who had closed the gate.
After Yuan Shao received the news, after the initial shock, he ordered the entire army to continue the attack.
With a thousand cavalry assisting in the battle, the pressure on the defenders was reduced sharply. After killing the enemy, they piled the corpses aside, or directly threw the enemy's corpses as wood, which not only had the effect of killing the enemy, but also shocked the coalition soldiers.
, it has been a day and a half, and many defenders feel that their eyelids are gradually unable to close.
Sun Jian in the tent showed a sneer. This is the third time Yuan Shao has repeated this sentence. If he doesn't fight Jia Rong, he will never understand how terrifying he is. No one can be sure if there are any Jia Rong left in the city.
If you don't fight to the end with a fresh force, you will never know how many trump cards the enemy has.
"Leader, think twice!" the eight princes urged in unison.
Cao Cao took a step forward and said: "The defenders in Hulao Pass have limited military strength. As the leader of the alliance said, we will make one last charge. If we cannot win, we will talk about retreating."
Yuan Shao echoed: "What Meng De said is absolutely true. When the time comes, we will celebrate the victory of the war together in the pass."
The allied offensive suddenly became fierce. In the last attack, the princes from all walks of life were extremely eager for victory. Elites from all ministries were sent up. The defenders suffered unprecedented pressure. There were no rush vehicles or wells, and some were just
Endless soldiers rushed to kill without fear, and when one died, countless more climbed up.
