Chapter 855: Outwitting the Tiger Prison

Although the Tiger Prison Pass has been destroyed twice, it still does not hinder its status as the 'No. 1 Pass in the World', after all, this level is too legendary.

After the third reconstruction, the defense of the Tiger Prison Pass is very different from before.

Yang Jian, who presided over the reconstruction of the Tiger Prison Pass, not only heightened and thickened the city wall this time, but also built a lot of arrow towers, and even arranged many catapults on the city tower, and the materials and military rations for the defense of the city in the pass were also very abundant, which was enough to support the defenders in the pass for half a year.

After Qin Hao led the princes around the periphery of the Tiger Prison, almost all the princes showed a solemn expression, because they found that the Tiger Prison Pass was almost flawless, and there was only one way to attack, and how many casualties did it take?

Looking at the Tiger Prison Pass, which was like an iron wall, Cao Cao pondered for a long time, and then said: "Alliance Leader, the Tiger Prison Pass is not without flaws, and the other materials in the pass may be sufficient, but the number of flying stones must be limited. ”

The flying stone in Cao Cao's mouth, Qin Hao prefers to call it a stone bullet, and Cao Cao is right.

In this era, although the stone is not valuable, there are not many natural stone bullets suitable for catapults, and most of them are not easy to carry and store, and if you want to use them, you must go through polishing and time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Therefore, the storage of stone bullets is generally not too much, and they are basically used while searching, which also makes the defenders often encounter the situation that the stone bullets are not enough.

Of course, this does not exist in the Qin army, after all, the Qin army has mastered the cement technology, and it is completely possible to make stone bullets by itself, and there are as many as you want, and the Liang army has not yet mastered this technology.

"Alliance leader, our coalition army can use the method of feint attack, first consume the flying stones in the Tiger Prison Pass, and then attack with all their strength when it is almost consumed.

The morale of the defenders in the pass has also dropped greatly due to the defeat, and if the flying stones are insufficient, the defense power will definitely drop greatly, and such a strong attack on Yue Yu will definitely be able to break through the pass. ”

Cao Cao's confidence in saying this is not enough, but it is indeed a good way to reduce casualties, after all, even if he wants to break his head, it is nothing more than a strong attack in the end.

Qin Hao stared at the layout on the city tower, and said lightly after half a sound: "Although this method is good, after all, our army has just arrived, if we don't take advantage of the situation to attack with a strong reputation, but instead deliberately feint to attack, I'm afraid it will boost the momentum of the coalition army, so how can we compensate for the loss?" ”

Cao Cao obviously didn't take this into account, and after being silent for a while, he sighed: "The alliance leader's words are reasonable, at this time, the morale of our army is the strongest under the great victory, and the feint attack does fall without a strong attack." ”

"However, the law of Wei Hou can still be implemented."

After Qin Hao glanced at Cao Cao, he smiled lightly: "Our army can attack for three days first, and after weakening the enemy's momentum, then we will feint and consume the enemy's stone bullets, and after the stone bullets are insufficient, we will be able to reap miraculous results." ”

"It's still the alliance leader who is far-sighted, and Meng De is convinced."

Qin Hao pinned his hands behind his back, slowly turned to look at the princes, and asked with a smile, "I wonder if any of you are willing to take on the task of this first round of siege?" ”

As soon as Qin Hao's words fell, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Song Jiang were the first to stand up and said in unison: "I am willing to take on this important responsibility." ”

Many princes showed surprised eyes, this first round of siege casualties must be the heaviest, but why did these three people rush to get on?

Soon they thought of the reason, and they had a good reputation.

Qin Hao looked at the three people who took the initiative to ask for help, and after a little contemplation, he said: "In this case, the three of you will each attack for one day, and after three days, it will be changed to a feint, and the major princes will take turns to attack the city." ”

The three of them looked at each other and said in unison, "No." ”

"Before attacking the city, send someone to challenge it, if what I expect is not bad, the Liang army will not dare to go out of the city to meet the battle when it is defeated, but it doesn't hurt to challenge it, if you really don't dare to fight, you can also use this to hit the morale of the Liang army."

"No."

A day later, Cao Cao was in charge of the first siege.

After Cao Cao prepared enough siege equipment and commanded the army to set up the siege array, he immediately sent his first fierce general Yin Xun to scold the battle, while the rest of the princes watched the battle in the rear army.

Inside the Tiger Prison Pass.

"Report ...... General Qiyu, the Kwantung coalition army came to attack the city, and the general under Cao Cao, Yin Xun, was scolding the battle under the city. ”

When the generals of the Liang army heard this, they were immediately excited, and Wu Yunzhao was the first to stand up, gritting his teeth and saying: "Even a nobody dares to show his might, and the last general will go to kill him." ”

Wu Yunzhao hadn't walked to the door yet, only listening to Li Shimin's slow, but unquestionable voice.

"Wait."

Wu Yunzhao immediately stopped, and Li Shimin, who was wrapped in gauze for most of his body, put down the teacup in his hand unhurriedly at this time, and said lightly: "Our army is sitting on a strong city, if the enemy army is a little agitated and goes out to face the battle, then what's the use of Xiongguan?"

The whole army was ordered that no one should go to war without authorization, and if the Kwantung Coalition Army wanted to scold, let him scold enough, and he would not scold a single soldier of our army to death anyway. ”

"No." All the generals of the Liang army were unwilling to respond.

Li Shimin also sighed in his heart when he saw this, it was not that he couldn't guess the intentions of the coalition army, but the Liang army had just experienced a big defeat, and the generals were obviously not very rational at this time, and even he himself was seriously injured, and some of the generals' injuries had not yet recovered, so it could be seen that this was really not a good time to go out of the city to face the battle.

Of course, there is the most important point, that is, Li Shimin made the Liang army lose 50,000 elite iron cavalry, and it is impossible for Dong Zhuo to react at all with such a large casualty, and before Chang'an's punishment order is transmitted, Li Shimin will not dare to fight without authorization no matter what.

Outside the Tiger Prison Pass, Yin Xun scolded for an hour, but the Tiger Prison Pass did not react at all, and could only return to Cao Cao's side with a depressed face.

"Lord, it seems that Li Shimin is determined to be a turtle with a shrunken head."

"Expected."

Cao Cao showed such a look, and then said in a deep voice: "Attack the city with all your might." ”

"No."

Cao Jun is only fully responsible for attacking for one day, even if there are casualties, it must be within the bearable range, it is better to take advantage of this to make a name for himself among the princes, so this time Cao Cao has invested enough, and the 10,000 troops responsible for the attack are all elite soldiers.

Cao Cao looked at the Xiongguan in front of him, slowly pulled out the Qingyu sword at his waist, and then pointed to the sky and shouted: "The whole army is attacking." ”

"Kill...... Kill...... Kill ......"

The siege army of 10,000 people marched neatly, with one heart, like a rainbow, and soared into the sky.

The princes who were watching the battle in the rear all showed shock when they saw that Cao Jun was making such an amazing noise.

Except for Kong Rong, Tao Qian and other literati present, most of the princes were military savvy, so it can be seen from the momentum and formation of Cao's army that the combat power of this army definitely exceeds that of most of the princes.
