Besides, how fast the horse sprints, it is already there in a blink of an eye.

After all, a two-legged man can't be as fast as a four-legged horse!

If you are really reckless, take someone there, what awaits him is definitely a row of arrows, rocks, and a pile of smoke and dust!

There was no other way, Xiahou Dun could only watch helplessly as Zhang Liao led a group of Bingzhou Wolf Riders back to Hulao Pass with a heart full of displeasure.

"Huh... Forget it, at least the tasks that Meng De assigned to me have been completed."

After a long time, Xiahou Dun took a deep breath, sighed softly, inhaled the icy air into his lungs, and then penetrated into his body, slightly suppressing the hot blood that was boiling to the point of gushing out.

After careful calculation, in the battle just now, he singled out one person and defeated Zhang Liao. Cao Cao's goal of suppressing the momentum of the Xiliang soldiers defending the city was also achieved.

So Xiahou Dun also pulled his horse back angrily, and returned to Cao Cao who was in the Chinese army.

Alas, I failed to take down the defender Zhang Liao. It seems that the next one will be a long and protracted separatist war, and we are preparing to attack the city again!

"Yuan Rang, you did a good job!"

Cao Cao didn't say much, instead he patted Xiahoudun on the shoulder who was back beside him, and after complimenting him, he started to feel a little headache, and looked at the still standing Hulao Pass.

As the saying goes, go up to attack the strategy, then attack the cross, next to attack the soldiers, and then attack the city.

For the siege party, in fact, forcible siege is often the method they take as a last resort.

Also, the most helpless way.

Because such a siege means a lot of consumption.

No, Cao Cao just got the battle reports from the East Gate and South Gate.

It is also a heavy loss!

On Yuan Shao's side at the east gate, the attack began in the morning, and before noon, Yan Liang and Wen Chou personally led the team and launched two charges.

The second time, some soldiers had climbed to the top of the city, but they were quickly cut down by the guards and threw their bodies down.

According to the summaries and reports, more than [-] people were killed or injured on the side of Guangdong City in one morning.

It was entirely due to the fact that there were strong generals in charge, bows and arrows, and warlords behind the battle to supervise the battle, so that the soldiers who attacked the city had no way out and were forced to fight bravely, causing a considerable amount of damage to the defenders.

This afternoon, the third onslaught began in the direction of the east gate.

However, the guards in the direction of the east gate of Hulao Pass had obviously strengthened their defenses, and no siege soldier could climb up to the top of the city by chance, and there were piles of corpses piled up beside the giant log used to hit the city gate.

As for the direction of the south gate, there is nothing to do, which will only increase the casualties.

"Hey, the plan will be released?" Cao Cao put down the letter, looked at the wall of Hulaoguan where he was, and sighed.

"Ah, in fact, the way to attack a city is not to kill all the defenders, but to climb walls or break through doors, and the morale of the defenders will naturally be demoralized, while ours is high-spirited, and one can count as ten."

Seeing Cao Cao's frowning face, Wei Hong couldn't help but patted his horse and stepped forward to comfort him.

Regarding the friend's comfort, Cao Cao just shook his head with a wry smile, and was about to say something when he suddenly thought of something, his eyes lit up, he clapped his hands and smiled, "Of course."

"?"

"?"

Wei Hong and Xiahou Dun were taken aback for a moment, and looked at each other, neither of them understood what Cao Cao said inexplicably.

"Haha, I would like to thank Wei Hong for reminding us that since the tiger prison cannot be attacked by force, we can not be limited to a single city!" Cao Cao explained with a smile.

"In other words, we can attack from multiple levels. The reason why Hulao is important to Dong Zhuo is because it is Luoyang's barrier. He wants to be safe!"

"Hehe, he wants to be safe, but we will not let him be safe until the tiger prison loses its value!" Cao Cao became more energetic as he spoke.

"At that time, Hulao Pass, you can get it!"

"You mean... wonderful!" Wei Hong also lit up when Cao Cao reminded him.

"Hahaha, but in this way, we still need the cooperation of the southeast and south roads!" Cao Cao laughed and ordered.

"Yuan Rang and Miao Cai listen to the order! From today onwards, the whole army is not allowed to attack the city wall!"

"What... what?_?!" Xiahou Dun, who hadn't recovered from the riddle-like dialogue between Cao Cao and Wei Hong, was about to pop out of his eyes.

No... not to storm the walls?

What is this weird order?

However, Cao Cao did not explain to him, but excitedly walked towards the tent.

Therefore, the job of explanation fell on Wei Hong.

He explained to Xiahou Dun in detail that this was Cao Cao's secret plan.

Most of the area west of Hulao Pass is flat land with no shelter. For the attackers, they are actually the most vulnerable to arrows.

Therefore, from tomorrow onwards, Cao Cao will deliberately fight exhausted, refusing to use his full strength.

On the contrary, at that time, the allied forces of Gongsun Zan in the south of the city and Yuan Shao in the east of the city mustered all their strength and attacked fiercely regardless of casualties, forcing the defenders to deploy troops from the west of the city to reinforce these two directions.

At that time, if Cao Cao can take advantage of this opportunity and exert his strength suddenly, he will definitely be able to break through the west city of Hulao in one fell swoop!

120 Not sticking to the gains and losses of one city

Yes, that's right!

At this time, in Cao Cao's eyes, breaking the tiger prison and entering Luoyang to rescue the emperor is already an inevitable, even inevitable thing.

Don't look at the current Hulao Pass defenders, leaning on the solid walls of the city, making several attacks from different directions by the Allied Army in the direction of the East Gate, West Gate, and South Gate, but all of them returned without success.

But these, in fact, have a prerequisite.

That is the premise that the various princes of their alliance army have not gathered their full strength!

As the saying goes, a chopstick is easy to break, but a chopstick can't be broken.

This sentence is exactly suitable to describe the current situation of the Union Army.

You must know that at the very beginning, although the alliance army converged, they still had their own minds, and each supported the army as the most important thing. They only thought about their own interests, vying for power and profit, and seeking personal gain.

As a result, the Kwantung Allied Forces had a total strength of hundreds of thousands, but they were not in the same mind. Everyone had their own selfish motives, and they were unwilling to rush forward. As a result, Dong Zhuo took advantage of the gap and defeated them one by one.

But if everyone "thinks in one place and exerts energy in one place", then killing Dong Zhuo will be a no-brainer!

To be honest, Yuan Shao, as the leader of the alliance army, has completely changed his attitude towards the enemy after successive defeats and genocide.
