"Let the arrows! Let the arrows!" shouted the guard on the top of the city.
The loaded crossbowman was ready to go, and the rain of arrows whizzed across the sky, nailing the bodies of the soldiers who were charging forward, splashing countless blood; when they landed on the shield, there was a crackling sound, and there was a disorderly sound. messy movement.
After rushing through the trenches, siege ladders and flying ladders built the city walls, and the soldiers of the coalition army climbed bravely.Looking from a distance, it looks like a group of black ants, densely packed.
After the Hulao was closed, Li Jue, Guo Si and other Xiliang generals commanded their respective areas, and shouted orders anxiously: "Don't let the Kwantung bandit army climb to the top of the city!"
The flying arrows took away countless creatures, but they had little effect on the soldiers climbing up the wall.
To deal with these vanguards rushing to the forefront, there is naturally a new method. The prepared rolling stones, wood, and hot oil are all brought in, and they are thrown down along the ladder from the top of the city.
rumbling~
hiss~
Rolling stones fell, smashing the brains of the coalition soldiers climbing below; scalding hot oil splashed, scalding many people's faces, hugging their heads, and wailing heart-piercingly.
One after another, the corpses fell from mid-air one after another.
The cruelty of war can never be expressed clearly by a few lines of words lightly written by the writer in the history books.
In just half an hour, the Hulao was closed under the scorching sun and turned into an endless hell.
The war was still going on, and the huge ladder was driven by the soldiers of the coalition forces, crossed the ditch, and put it on the top of the city.
"kill!"
The leading general wiped the blood from his face, brandished his broadsword, stepped on the ladder first, and led countless pioneer soldiers behind him, jumped into the city wall, and started a close fight with the defenders at Hulao Pass.
The exchange of weapons resounded non-stop, and more and more coalition soldiers began to climb to the top of the city.
"General, the enemy has broken through the western city wall and has entered the pass!" The blood-stained captain rushed to Li Jue's side and reported anxiously.
Li Jue, who was guarding the center, heard that the west side had fallen, picked up the tiger-head knife, glanced at the captain, his eyes were ruthless: "You stay here and watch for me, Yang Ding, and immediately send 500 people out to follow This general is going to the west city wall, I want to kill these bastards with my own hands!"
The Xiliang army has a tough atmosphere, and most of its lieutenant officers are fond of martial arts and are good at fighting in the wild. This is their strong point.
However, its shortcomings are also obvious. It is good at attacking but not good at defending. For the soldiers of the Central Plains, the dangerous tiger prison is undoubtedly a huge barrier, but for the soldiers of Xiliang, it restricts their original combat methods.
The eagle flapped its wings from a high altitude, spread its huge wings, and overlooked the city gate with its sharp eagle eyes.
Spreading soldiers, countless soldiers were fighting bloody battles at the top of the city, they roared hysterically, and slashed at each other's heads with their blood-stained sharp blades, far and near, bustling.
Black beacon smoke rolled up into the sky, and dark red flames burned above the city.
Blood stained the city walls red.
The sword pierced through the chest, and the heavily wounded coalition soldiers let out a final roar, and blood oozed from their lips.He stared at the Xiliang sergeant in front of him, and then he was pushed by the two together, and fell from the top of the city, with the sound of wind whistling in his ears.
He became a broken kite.
boom!
The thin body fell heavily to the ground, all the veins were broken, only a pair of staring eyes that refused to rest in peace, looking at everything in the world.
The spurting blood, the stump of a severed arm.
The trenches that were ten feet wide were filled with the remains of soldiers from both sides.
woo woo woo woo woo~~
The sound of the horn that resounded between heaven and earth was sad and mournful.
-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
The fierce battle lasted until dusk, and the night was approaching, and the sound of Mingjin sounded from the vast land.
Clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang~~
The frontline soldiers who were attacking fortified positions heard the signal to retreat, and even though they were unwilling to stop, none of them dared to disobey the order and retreated like a tide.
"The enemy has retreated! The enemy has retreated!"
There were shouts from the city wall, and among these excited voices, there were countless dying groans and sobbing screams.
In the setting sun, Hulao Pass was filled with blood, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood. The generals guarding the pass, such as Li Jue and Guo Si, were covered in blood, panting heavily, staring at the retreating army. , Leaning his tired body against the city wall, he exhaled.
Hulao Pass was finally held.
In the next few days, the coalition forces attacked day by day without giving the defenders the slightest respite.
Both sides suffered heavy casualties, tens of thousands.
…………
Inside Hulao Pass, in the meeting hall, Dong Zhuo, who was wearing a grand master's robe, sat down with a sullen expression, listening to the casualties report of his generals.
"When I was in Luoyang back then, I should have killed them all! Exterminate the family and ransack the house!" After hearing the report, Dong Zhuo's expression was ferocious, and he slapped his big fat hands on the table angrily.
There is no regret medicine in the world, it is too late to say anything at this time.
The vassals of the Kwantung region took a tough attitude and raised troops to attack day by day, with the momentum of "if you don't break the tiger prison, you will never return it".
After fighting fiercely for so many days, it didn't seem to weaken.
Dong Zhuo was apprehensive, the current him was no longer the Dong Zhongying who roamed Xiliang.The lofty sentiments of the past, shrouded in horse leather, disappeared without knowing where they went.
A few days ago, Dong Zhuo had asked Li Jue to go matchmaking with Sun Jian on his behalf, promising to recommend Sun Jian's descendants to serve as governors and county guards in various places, hoping to form a new strategic alliance through marriage.And hope that Sun Jian, the Jiangdong tiger, can fight back and help him repel the rebels.
As a result, the marriage failed, but Sun Jian scolded him severely.
Withdrawing his thoughts, Dong Zhuo settled his violent anger, scanned the generals in the hall, and said in a low voice, "Let's talk about your opinions."
The generals looked at each other, and finally, represented by Guo Si, he stood up and clasped his fists and replied: "Master, there are so many bandits, and they are not tired after beating the pass for days. Our army has suffered countless casualties, and the logistics are seriously lacking in hemostatic herbs. As long as you give the order, Grand Master, I am willing to fight to the death."
"Willing to fight to the death!"
All the generals in the hall stood up, clasped their fists in response with loud voices.
The more the generals expressed their attitudes, Dong Zhuo felt guilty instead. He began to regret the impulse that day, and should not have killed Yuan Wei and angered Yuan Shao and others.
"You have been with this old man for so many years, galloping and killing battles, licking blood on the knife edge, and have not enjoyed a few days of peaceful life. There is no reason for you all to confess here, there are enough dead sons, and you will evacuate this place when it is late at night. Let's go back to Luoyang."
Dong Zhuo sighed, his ferocious face looked tired.He has suffered many defeats in his life, but he has never been as powerless as he is today.
The generals were silent and did not speak. In their life dictionary, abandoning the city and leaving is really the act of a coward.
"Teacher, I have a plan, maybe I can break the Guandong rats." A clear voice sounded in the hall.
