Chapter 340: Fierce Battle Tiger Prison Pass (1)
Dong Zhuo entered the Tiger Prison Pass, came to the pass, looked at the vast and endless military camp in the distance, and couldn't help asking, "Where are the soldiers and horses?" ”
Guo Yan replied, "There are nine routes of soldiers and horses such as Bohai Yuan Shao and Pingyuan Ma Qiang, and among the princes, only Wang Kuang, Yuan Shu, and Sun Jian are not among them. ”
On the side, Li Ru followed and said, "Yuan Shu and Sun Jian are both in Nanyang, because the Taishi uses tricks, now Sun Jian can't even eat, and he can't threaten our army if he wants to."
As for Wang Kuang, he is lingering in the Mengjin area, and I have already written to Niu Fu and Tian Yi in Hedong, asking them to cooperate with General Dong, and they will be able to come without hindrance.
As for the army of thieves under the gate .... Taishi, now that the thief army has just arrived, it should be frustrated before it can be defended for a long time! ”
Dong Zhuo thought about it for a while, and said with a smile, "I will place a battle post and make an appointment to fight before tomorrow!" ”
- Allied battalion
Yuan Shao sat in the big tent, listening to the continuous completion of the encampment of the princes, nodded from time to time, and smiled at Ma Qiang on the side, "Thanks to Ma Pingyuan, he chose the place where the armies were stationed early, otherwise our army would have been busy for a while." ”
Ma Qiang was already anxious to die, but he didn't dare to tell Dong Zhuo about moving the capital, not because he was afraid that the news channel would be suspected, but once this group of princes with different ghosts knew that Dong Zhuo was going to move the capital, there was a high probability that they would decide to wait for Dong Zhuo to move the capital, and then march to Luoyang to reduce losses, not to mention thinking about entering the tiger prison at that time.
"Alliance leader, military division, now that more than 100,000 soldiers and horses of our allied army have arrived, we should hurry up to build ordnance and attack the Tiger Prison Pass, as long as the Tiger Prison Pass is broken, Luoyang will be close at hand, and my Han Zhongxing will be just around the corner!"
Ma Qiang's words made everyone nod slightly, because of Ma Qiang's previous success, everyone had a trace of disdain for Dong Zhuojun's combat strength, and felt that it was nothing more than that, so everyone wanted to fight and hoped to get some credit.
"In that case, military advisor, tell me about it!" Yuan Shao said to Lu Zhi.
"The Tiger Prison Pass is the world to rush, the pass is four feet high and five feet high, and there is a water ditch, so the first step must be to pass the water, and then set up a ladder, the edge ladder to the city, before it can be broken!" Lu Zhi is very familiar with the Tiger Prison Pass, and these days he has also taken the time to draw a schematic diagram of the inside and outside of the Tiger Prison Pass, which is hung on the screen at this time to explain to everyone.
The reason why the Tiger Prison Pass is also called the Bishui Pass is in this Bishui River, and the Bishui River in front of the Tiger Prison Pass is actually the confluence of two rivers, which are the Bishui and the flooded water, so the water flow is wide.
"To cross the water... Is it buried with sand? Bao Xin asked.
"In order to prevent the water from being buried by the sand, the riverbed was re-trimmed, the width was reduced, and the speed of the water flow was increased, and the sand would be washed away at once, so it was difficult to bury, and the only way was to use a trench bridge!" Lu Zhi pointed to the water on the drawing and said, "Although the width has been reduced, this water is also more than two zhang wide, and we must build a trench bridge of about three zhang to cross the water!" ”
In the Han Dynasty, one zhang was about two meters three or four, which means that the Tiger Prison Pass was about ten meters high, and the Bishui River in front of the pass was five meters wide.
Don't underestimate ten meters, I don't think it's a big deal, it's just a three-story building, but in the late Han Dynasty, this was already the limit height of the building level.
Higher... You may be building towers, not levels.
"I'm afraid it's not easy to build such a ladder and moat bridge..."Yuan Shao touched his beard and shook his head and sighed.
Yuan Shao was thinking about who was responsible for building the ordnance when he saw a sergeant running in to report "Newspaper!!" The Tiger Prison closes and shoots a war letter! ”
Yuan Shao motioned to Xu You on the side to step forward and take it, Xu You took it, opened it and looked at it, and said to everyone, "Dong Zhuo's old thief has arrived at the Tiger Prison Pass, and he asked me to wait for a decisive battle outside the Pass tomorrow!" ”
"What? Dong Zhuo is here? ”
"It's a good time! As long as Dong Zhuo is killed, the world will be peaceful! ”
"Originally, this was a good time to avenge Taifu!"
"Dong Zhuo is here suddenly, will there be fraud?"
For a while, there were different opinions, Ma Qiang looked at Jia Xu behind him, and said in a low voice, "Send a report immediately to ask Luoyang, Dong Zhuo is suddenly here, Luoyang is probably already in chaos!" ”
Jia Xu bowed his head and retreated, and after a while, Yuan Shaocai patted the case and said, "Everyone, Dong thief actually dares to go out of the customs to fight a decisive battle, we must not let go of such a good opportunity, and ask the military advisor to arrange troops for us!" ”
Lu Zhifu said, "The soldiers and horses under the Dong thief can be divided into three parts, one is the Luoyang Forbidden Army and the Xiyuan Army, one is the Bingzhou Army of Ding Yuan, and the other is the Xiliang Soldiers and Horses, all three of which are strong armies, so I can't underestimate the enemy, and I should be careful."
Please listen to my orders, set up a formation tomorrow, defend instead of attack, and be careful to resist the enemy! In addition, we need to repair the ordnance so that it can be used tomorrow! ”
- Tiger Prison Pass
"Tomorrow to fight, in order to kill the thief army, so you can only win, not defeat, the generals listen to Wen You's orders!"
Dong Zhuo sat in the handsome position, at this time he was no longer the imperial master in the court, but the famous general of Xiliang - Dong Zhuo!
"No!"
In the shouts in unison, a murderous aura slowly spread.
Li Ru came to the front of everyone, looked around and said, "Although the thief army is numerous, its heart is not aligned, among the soldiers and horses of the Nine Routes, the Pingyuan Ma Qiang, Bohai Yuan Shao, and the Qiao County Cao Cao are the strong army, and the Guangling Zhang Chao, Jibei Baoxin, Chen Liu, and Zhang Miao are the middle army, and Yanzhou Liu Dai, Dongjun Qiaomao, and Yuzhou Kong Ling are the lower army.
The strategy of our army's battle tomorrow is to attack its troops with elites, break the line with points, and then drive away the defeated soldiers with cavalry, so that they will be in chaos, and the generals will obey the order! ”
"Wow!" All Dong Zhuo will stand up to Li Ru in the same way.
Then, Li Ru instructed the generals one by one how to arrange the troops, and after a while, he asked, "Do you have any questions?" ”
Lu Bu waited on the side for a long time, and saw that Gao Shun and others under his command had a task, but they didn't have anything to do with themselves, so he immediately said urgently, "Waiting, where is the last general?" Will it be impossible to sit on the head of the city in the end? ”
Li Ru looked at Lu Bu and said with a smile, "Feng Xian is the first brave general of our army, so naturally he will be used in the most critical place, Feng Xian, you have a good rest today, don't worry about the transfer of troops and generals, tomorrow I will use you to break the enemy's courage, and when you and I come, I have a tool for you." ”
When Lu Bu heard Li Ru say this, he couldn't help but bow his hand happily and said, "The last general will listen to the order!" ”
After the meeting, Lu Buyi came to look for Li Ru, but saw that his red rabbit horse was led by Li Ru.
"Feng Xian, take a look, this is the stirrup and other harness left over from the Plains Army that the sergeant picked up before, you can try it."
Lu Bu saw that the saddle and stirrups on the red rabbit horse were a little different from the previous ones, so he sat on them with a flying step, and when he went up, Lu Bu's eyes lit up.
This kind of feeling that seems to be down-to-earth, you don't need to try to know how much you can improve your combat power.
When Li Ru saw Lu Bu's appearance, he knew it in his heart, and said with a smile: "Tomorrow when you go to war, Feng Xian must first kill a few enemy generals to break the enemy's courage. Cao Mengde, who also saved the province, was scary with the name of this general! ”
Lu Bu is also pitiful, and he is only a middle school general until now, he thinks that he is no worse than Guo Yan and others, although Dong Zhuo is close to him, he calls Wu'er, and often stays by his side, but this reward is much worse than Li Guo and other old people, today he got Li Ru's promise, and decided to use all his body to learn tomorrow and get a jackpot.
