In the dark night, the sound of drums soared into the sky, and the violent impact shook away the light rain floating in the sky. The sound of the drums was as powerful as the stormy waves, and it seemed that when the drums sounded, the night froze.
The war drums beat, and the tower of Hulao Pass suddenly became chaotic.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
A loud roar of fear and fear rang out at Hulao Gate. The Xiliang soldiers standing on the tower looked at the dark night in the distance, with a solemn look in their eyes. After the heavy rain, the Allied forces actually attacked the city? Such a scene
, which made many soldiers frightened and full of doubts. Especially the guard general Guo Si of Hulao Pass. He stood on the city wall and couldn't figure out what the princes and allies wanted to do?
It stands to reason that it had just rained heavily and the roads were muddy, making it unsuitable to send troops. Moreover, it was late at night and the darkness was thick, making it difficult to send troops to fight. However, the allied forces of the princes chose to attack Hulao Pass at this time. Could it be that they were sure that Li Jue would leave?
Guo Bang thought for a while and suddenly thought of such a possibility.
The granary may really be the work of the allied forces of the princes.
When Li Jue rushed to the granary, it was a trap set by the allies of the princes so that Hulao Pass would not be guarded by Li Jue.
Thinking of this, endless anger arose in Guo Bang's heart. He had never thought that the Allies would sneak into Hulao Pass. Now that he thought about it, the burning of the granary must have been caused by the Allies. Guo Bang felt angry in his heart. In the end,
He was wrong, and Li Jue was right. However, after all, he, Guo Si, was also the commander-in-chief of Hulao Pass and was responsible for all matters at Hulao Pass. In the eyes of the Allies, Guo Si, the guard general of Hulao Pass, was not seen at all.
Li Jue was at Hulao Pass, and the princes and allies did not dare to act recklessly.
Now that Li Jue had just left, the allied forces of the princes immediately rushed to attack the city.
"Hurry up, hurry up... prepare defensive equipment, prepare logs, prepare oil pans... don't mess up, don't be anxious... hold on, hold on...!" Guo Si had a lot of thoughts in his heart, but his face did not change at all.
He commanded the soldiers to defend Hulao Pass in an orderly manner without any panic.
Xiliang soldiers were all mobilized and prepared in an orderly manner to defend Hulao Pass.
Outside Hulao Pass, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao stood side by side.
Xun You and Pei Yuanshao rode slightly behind, not standing side by side with Yuan Shao. Xun You looked at the dark night with deep worry in his eyes. In any case, Wang Can and Zhao Yun sneaked into Hulao Pass and were in danger. Xun You was not there
After confirming that Wang Can was completely safe, he couldn't calm down in his heart. After all, Hulao Pass was full of Xiliang soldiers.
Yuan Shao's eyes widened, he pulled out the sword from his waist and shouted: "Attack the city!"
In an instant, Sun Jian, as the vanguard of the siege, led four generals, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Zu Mao, and Huang Gai, to quickly climb up the ladder, jump onto the tower like an ape, and began to slaughter the Xiliang soldiers on the tower.
At the same time, soldiers under Yuan Shao and Cao Cao also climbed up the tower and fought with the Xiliang soldiers.
"Soldier, prepare!"
Guo Bang looked solemn as he watched more and more Allied soldiers climb up the city wall. With a fierce look on his face, he directly asked the armored soldiers on the tower who were responsible for the defense to go into battle. The armored soldiers were well-equipped and difficult to defeat. As long as the armored soldiers were allowed to crush them, those who had just climbed over would be defeated.
All soldiers who climb the tower will be killed.
The moves are exactly the same as the last formation. The armored soldiers are wearing armor and iron helmets, and they are holding sharp spears in their hands. The armored soldiers are divided into two parts from the center, and they are crushing towards the left and right sides of the tower.
past.
Wherever the armored soldiers passed, allied soldiers were dug into holes, and there was no way to stop the armored soldiers.
When Guo Bang saw this scene, he sneered in his heart. The princes all knew that there were armored soldiers stationed on the city tower, but they still dared to attack the city. They were really a group of people who were not afraid of death!
"Damn it, I knew you were going to let these idiots go to war."
When Sun Jian saw the armored soldiers slowly rolling over, the corners of his mouth raised, forming a cruel smile. Sun Jian suddenly turned back and shouted: "Huang Gai, order the archers to prepare and release arrows for me."
Sun Jian gave the order. Behind him, the four generals Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, Zu Mao, and Han Dang, as well as the surrounding soldiers, took out their long bows from their waists, then stretched out their hands to twist the bows and arrows from their backs, no matter what,
He drew the bow string to full length and fired arrows directly at the armored soldiers' camp. A shower of arrows flew past, and many armored soldiers were shot in the cheeks.
Although the armored soldiers were well-equipped, armed from their feet to their heads, there were also many soldiers who were shot by bows and arrows, lying on the ground rolling and roaring, screaming loudly.
This move was specially used by Sun Jian to deal with armored soldiers.
In close combat, because the armored soldiers are a group gathered together and have long-range weapons such as spears, it is difficult to deal with them. Before they can get close to the armored soldiers, they are stabbed by the armored soldiers' spears.
However, the armored soldiers cannot get close to them, but bows and arrows can attack from a distance. Although it is difficult for bows and arrows to cause damage to the Xiliang soldiers' armor, chest protectors, and arm guards, just like the forest of spears of the armored soldiers, the arrow rain formed by countless bows and arrows is as dense as a forest.
, it is easy to shoot into the soldier's cheek. Such an indiscriminate attack makes the soldier easily injured.
Because of Sun Jian's move, the armored soldiers lost their advantage and did not form a one-sided massacre.
The battle situation between the two sides became stalemate.
On the city tower, the Allied troops bravely killed the enemy, and the defending Xiliang soldiers were also brave and fearless. Wave after wave of Allied soldiers climbing up the city wall were blocked by the Xiliang soldiers. However, this time they attacked Hulao Pass and gathered
The military strength of the four major princes, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, and Gongsun Zan, is not bad, and the soldiers are all elite divisions.
"Clang!"
"Clang!"
…
Under the city tower, siege engines hit the Hulao Pass city gate one after another.
No matter what, attacking the city gate is the easiest and fastest way. As long as the city gate is broken, Hulao Pass will be defeated. Guo Bang heard the roar of the Allied troops below the city tower and ordered loudly: "Zhao Cen, let
People hold the city gate in place. You lead twenty Xiliang soldiers on the city tower to smash wood at the soldiers who hit the gate. Be sure to stabilize the situation before the boiling oil is burned, so that the allied forces cannot break through the city gate.
"
"promise!"
Zhao Cen clasped his fists and shouted, and immediately left with twenty Xiliang soldiers, who were responsible for guarding the city gate.
Logs fell from the city tower one after another, causing a certain degree of damage to the siege vehicle that hit the city tower. The logs rolled down, and countless soldiers were killed or injured. However, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were determined to capture Hulao.
He didn't care about how many soldiers under his command had been lost. Wave after wave of soldiers rushed forward desperately, supporting the siege vehicles and ramming into the city gate.
The fighting became more and more intense, and the fighting between the two sides gradually became more intense.
Hu Zhen was covered in blood, with a ferocious look on his face. He ran to Guo Bang with a big knife and said: "General Guo, General Li has left temporarily and cannot lead the Flying Bear Army to support Hulao Pass. Should we light the smoke?
So that General Li will find out that Hulao Pass is besieged by the armies of the princes. When the smoke comes out, General Li will get the news and will immediately lead the Xiliang troops back to Hulao Pass, and we can feel more relaxed."
Guo Si said angrily: "Bullshit, can't I guard Hulao Pass?"
Hu Zhen said: "Of course General Guo can guard Hulao Pass. I am not worried about something happening, so I suggested that the general light the smoke and let General Li find out that something happened at Hulao Pass."
Hearing this, Guo Si said: "Okay, light the smoke immediately!"
After finishing speaking, Guo Bang felt agitated and waved his hand, indicating to Hu Zhen to light the smoke.
Hu Zhen got Guo Si's permission, smiled, and ran off to deliver the message...
Far away from Hulao Pass, Yuan Shao turned his head and asked Xun You, "Gongda, why haven't you opened the city gate yet?" Although it was raining and foggy, and the night was dark and thick, the bonfire on the tower of Hulao Pass was crackling with torches.
It kept burning, lighting up the entire Hulao Pass. Yuan Shao saw more and more dead and injured soldiers, and his excitement gradually sank.
The sooner the city gates are opened, the better it will be for the Allies.
Before Wang Can opened the city gate, Yuan Shao could not order to withdraw his troops.
Conquering Hulao Pass was an order given by Yuan Shao to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao gave an order to Wang Can. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao both agreed to Wang Can, providing soldiers, generals, and food... Whatever Wang Can asked, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao
There was no reason to refuse, so who made the two of them unable to think of a way and entrusted the burden to Wang Can?
Xun You glanced past Yuan Shao and stopped at Cao Cao.
Immediately, his eyes turned to Yuan Shao and said: "Alliance leader, your lord has sent a signal for us to attack the city to meet your lord. Now all the attention has been attracted to the tower of Hulao Pass. If your lord wants to open the city gate, you have to wait for an opportunity.
Looking for opportunities, please be patient and wait patiently, leader."
Yuan Shao said noncommittally: "Okay, I'll wait for Wang Can to open Hulao Pass."
To say so is actually helpless.
Withdraw troops?
Yuan Shao cannot withdraw his troops until Wang Can opens the city gate.
