There was a sound of beeping gold from the gate, but it was a signal to withdraw troops.
Allied soldiers immediately retreated like a tide.
110 The Three Powers Attack First
Yes, after several consecutive strong attacks to no avail, and Zhang Liao's central dispatch on the opposite side, under the strong defense of strict defense, Cao Cao finally chose to call for gold temporarily.
He didn't expect that the captain of Xiliang, Zhang Liao, whom he underestimated at first, would have such a powerful commanding ability.
Of course, Zhang Liao's success surprised many people.
What Cao Cao didn't expect was the Xiliang guards who closed Hulao.
They stared wide-eyed, stunned.
In the past, they were all looking at Zhang Liao, the brat in their eyes, and suffered a lot.
Who really thought, this guy seems to be really capable!
Recalling the comfortable feeling when he accepted the transfer order under his subordinates just now, all the generals couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
They actually saw a trace of Xu Shuai in this young captain.
Can you imagine?
They themselves were a little surprised by their own ideas. You know, Commander Xu Rong is full of praise from the lord. As they are in Xiliang, they are recognized as the strongest man in command!
Now, actually seeing his shadow in the body of a brat?
For a moment, the generals on the city wall couldn't help feeling awe-inspiring, and they became more and more in awe of Zhang Liao, a young general.
So far, after seeing Zhang Liao's commanding skills, the Xiliang guard on the city wall also expressed his willingness to cooperate with Zhang Liao in the next battle with practical actions.
In this regard, Zhang Liao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
In the final analysis, the strategic position of the Hulao Pass was still too prominent, which led to him suddenly facing an important task, so naturally he dared not be careless.
...
Of course, one failure doesn't mean anything.
Soon, the alliance army's second attack began to prepare again.
The princes of the three routes and tens of thousands of soldiers were assembled soon.
Standing at the forefront are the [-] soldiers under Cao Cao himself.
When Cao Cao glanced over, these soldiers straightened their spines, although some were eager to try, while others were a little nervous.
But without exception, all the soldiers were tall and straight, ready to fight at any time.
Cao Cao nodded in relief.
After two months of training, the obedience of these fighters recruited from Chen Liu was completely new.
Although in terms of real combat power, it is still incomparable with those old soldiers who have been fighting for a long time.
But everyone is an extremely strong man, and they only need a few bloody battles to become elite teachers!
Cao Cao turned his attention to the troops sent by the other two princes.
Since the strong attack has already started, there is no need for any tricks this time, it is completely a collision of strengths between the two sides.
He decided to integrate the elites of the three armies and take down the Hulao in one go!
However, Xiliang's defender was no worse than Cao Cao in terms of the importance attached to the west gate of Hulao.
Even Zhang Liao at the head of the city was notified that he needed to go to Lu Bu to report the battle in person.
He also didn't forget to assign a lieutenant general to lead two thousand troops to garrison the corner of the city, and asked him to prepare strong bows and crossbows to prepare for defense before going down the wall.
This is a stalemate battle destined to be time-consuming and labor-intensive.
"Yuan Rang, everything is up to you!" After discussing with Wei Hong and Bao Xin, Cao Cao selected two thousand elites from their trilogy, and gathered more than a thousand elites of his own. Hand it over to Xiahou Dun for leadership.
"Siege the city!" Cao Cao's hopeful Xiahoudun gave an order, and led three thousand elite troops to rush out. The sergeants shouted to kill Zhentian, and everyone said: "General Xiahou is here, the enemy will not surrender quickly!"
Outside the west gate, countless figures shouted this sentence, and every time they drank a sentence, their aura increased by one point.
Xiahou Dun pulled the reins in satisfaction, looked back at the walking army behind him, and saw that the soldiers under his command were full of expressions and fighting spirit, so he couldn't help nodding secretly.
Seeing that the morale was available, he immediately led his troops to Ximen.
"Jing Lan step forward! Suppress! The ladder is tight! The first person to climb the wall, reward!" Xia Houdun licked his lips, moved quickly, and promised loudly according to what Cao Cao taught him.
In the world, the army that is not afraid of death is the most terrifying. Braving the bows and arrows of the Hulao Pass, Jinglan insisted on moving forward slowly, and the archers and crossbowmen on it shot back one after another.
Surrounded by [-] elite soldiers, dozens of rush-made ladders fell towards the city wall.
The ancient ladder is somewhat different from the current ladder, it looks more like a long shelf with a hook.
When approaching the walled city, the Union Army soldiers staying above can hook the city wall with iron hooks, so the Union Army soldiers below can continue to climb the city wall.
As for the Jinglan, it was prepared for crossbowmen.
Because during the siege, the defenders above the city wall have great lethality against the soldiers attacking the city below, especially because of the height, they can suppress the opponent when they go out of the well.
Most of them gathered around the ladder, slowly leaning towards the west gate, holding a poorly made but practical wooden shield in their hands.
At this time, Xiahou Dun was also holding a shield in his left hand and a knife in his right hand. He quickly climbed up the ladder, letting thousands of arrows rain down, but he was not injured at all.
Following behind him were eight hundred Xiangyongs of Xiahou's family. These Xiangyongs were all private soldiers who had been trained for a long time. Now following Xiahoudun, seeing the rain of arrows falling, they were also happy and fearless.
When the Hulao was closed at this time, it was really like a rain of arrows, whistling endlessly.
If any other army had suffered such a blow, it would have been defeated long ago, but these Xiahou Clan's private army are worthy of being elite, and they rushed to the west gate wall against the rain of arrows.
boom!
After paying a lot of casualties, the first ladder hooked up to the city wall, and saw more than a dozen Union soldiers on the ladder, jumping onto the city wall with red eyes.
Xiahou Dun yelled angrily, "Bold thief! An Gan is stubborn, so don't hurry up and send his head, so as to save a certain effort."
The guards on the city tower condescended to shoot arrows with all their strength, which made Xiahou Dun furious and bloody.
A looming phantom flickered behind him, and the figure suddenly became floating.
