Chapter 15: The Bloody Battle (3)

Lu Bu agreed on the ambush place and news code with the judge, and the judge used the excuse to return to the camp to inform Yuan Shao, so he took his leave. As soon as the trial left, Lu Bu, who was carried away by fame and fortune, immediately ordered the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to immediately dispatch, quietly bypassing the coalition camp and ambushing in a valley agreed with the trial. The worst thing is that LΓΌ Bu felt that his troops were too small, so he actually transferred some of the already insufficient defenders from Bishui Pass, and LΓΌ Bu did not inform Xu Rong, Li Dao, Guo Yan and others in order to monopolize the credit.

Xu Rong and the other three generals found that it was already early the morning of the next day when Lu Bu quietly transferred the soldiers away, and the three generals were suddenly frightened, and now in addition to the wounded soldiers who were seriously injured and could not move, the remaining combat strength was less than 5,000, and at the same time, they had to draw troops to guard the 80,000 prisoners captured yesterday.

Li Dao and Guo Yan were so anxious that they scolded, and asked Hou Lu Bu's eighteenth generation ancestors one by one, and by the way, several of Lu Bu's godfathers also asked Hou a few times. Xu Rong knew that scolding was not a way now, so while organizing people to fortify it tightly, he sent people to chase Lu Bu back, and also sent people to ask for advice from Tiger Prison.

On the side of the coalition army, Yuan Shao changed yesterday's decadence and proudly announced the good news to the princes, and the coalition camp immediately cheered and congratulated Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao triumphantly ordered the old and weak soldiers to retreat back disguised as the main force of the coalition army, dragging Lu Bu's army, and all the elite soldiers were dispatched to storm the sparsely populated Bishui Pass.

Yuan Shao did not expect that two armies in the coalition were not very happy, and he did not think that the coalition would definitely succeed. In Cao Cao's camp, Cao Cao sneered: "Yuan Shao bullied Dong Zhuo There is no one in the camp? The generals were ordered to set up a large camp and not to go out into battle. ”

In Liu Bei's pitifully small barracks, Liu Bei said to the two righteous brothers: "Two virtuous brothers, our army has an agreement with Dong Zhuo, and they are not allowed to attack each other. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei thought so, and they were all proud to have such a trustworthy and committed big brother. Liu Bei smiled in his heart, "Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo, this Bishui Pass was beaten down by Yuan Shao, not by me Liu Bei, you can't blame me for not keeping my word." ’

Although most of the cannon fodder soldiers were transferred, the number of elites left by the coalition forces was still considerable, reaching 100,000, which was naturally much inferior to yesterday's momentum of 500,000, but the combat effectiveness did not decrease but increased, and the individual combat effectiveness was stronger than before, and the tactical coordination was more proficient. After several battles with the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, the princes have realized the truth that soldiers are not expensive, and they have all made up their minds in their hearts that if they can return to the territory alive, they must concentrate on training an elite like the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

The arrows of the garrison of Bishui Pass were not as dense as they were yesterday, and a few sparse bows and arrows could not cause any damage to all the soldiers of the coalition armed with long shields. Xu Rong decisively ordered to give up archery, and all the defenders poured fire oil into the pass, forming a wall of fire to stop the coalition forces.

Facing the wall of fire, countless coalition forces dug up a large amount of sand and soil with Tiege broadswords to crush the wall of fire. The defenders smashed the lime bottles at the bottom of the pass, and were suppressed by the overwhelming number of allied archers, the rolling stone sassalwood was too heavy, and the defenders could only throw down a few trees at a time, which was only a drop in the bucket in front of the all-powerful coalition forces. Soon, the cloud ladder of the coalition army was set up on the wall again, and the defenders of Bishui Pass began a brutal white-knuckle battle with the coalition army.

Dong Zhuojun knows very well that with his usual virtues, once he fails, whether it falls into the hands of the coalition forces or the people, he will not have a good life. So at this moment, Dong Zhuojun, who could still move, all took up arms and fought against enemies several times his size. Every wounded soldier gritted his teeth, brandished the knife and gun in his hand, and shouted from time to time, "Brothers, kill, and even pull a few pads on their backs!" "Every time they add a wound to their body, they always leave a bigger and more fatal wound on the enemy, and when they are dying, they will frantically hold on to one or two enemies and roll down the wall with them.

At the gate, the coalition soldiers carried the sassaga and desperately slammed into the already crumbling gate. Guo Yan was in charge of defending the gate, he took his head and pressed his body against the city gate, and his body was crowded with Dong Zhuojun's soldiers and even the corpses of the soldiers. It was Xu Rong and Li Dao who were closed, the two of them were running around with blood-red eyes, carrying knives, and there were enemies who climbed up and rushed there to slash and kill, and it didn't take long for both of them to be covered in bruises. Rao is Dong Zhuo's army is desperate to kill the enemy, but there are too many enemies, and they can't kill endlessly, but the Lu Bujun that Dong Zhuojun is looking forward to has never appeared in the field of vision.

Xu Rong saw that it was impossible for him to hold on, so he yelled at Li Dao: "Li Dao, you are watching here." I'm going to burn the grain, and I won't let them have food to eat when I die! ”

Li Wei gritted his teeth and struggled to overturn a ladder, and took the coalition soldiers on the ladder to fall half to death. Li Dao gasped and roared: "Go, Lao Tzu will drag them down together if they die." Fuck the damn Lu Bu, I won't let him go if I'm a ghost! ”

Xu Rong ran down the city wall with a knife, he didn't bring any of his own soldiers, and all his personal soldiers were killed. Xu Rong stumbled towards the granary, and when he passed by the prisoner camp, the officer guarding the prisoner came up, "General Xu, how is the situation?" ”

Xu Rong leaned on him with one hand and asked heavily, "How many of you still have it?" ”

"There were only more than three hundred people, and the other brothers all went up."

"One hundred men will come with me, and one hundred will be left to guard the captives, and all the rest will be put up on the wall." Although he knew that it was a drop in the bucket, Xu Rong still held on to a glimmer of hope, hoping that Lu Bu would wake up in time to help.

At this time, one of the captives suddenly shouted, "General, I have received a great favor from the prime minister, and I will go with you to kill the enemy." ”

Xu Rong wondered, he had only heard of a great enmity with the prime minister, but he had never heard of a great favor from the prime minister. Xu Rong fixed his eyes and saw that it was a young captive, and it should be the Shanyang Army, who was struggling to break out of the captive team. "Let him come."

That captive was Wei Lin, who was once afraid of Boss Dong to death, and he cried and told him about his capture, "My uncle and I just wanted to go home, but we were caught by General Chen and came to serve as soldiers again, and the silver and dry food that the prime minister sent to me and my uncle were also robbed by General Chen. General, I hate General Chen to death, please take me, I want to be the prime minister's soldier, and I will go with you to kill the enemy. ”

Dong Zhuojun, who was guarding next to him, also said for Wei Lin: "Yesterday, it was this kid who took the lead in surrendering, and several rebels who refused to surrender were killed by him, and he went to the city to help us persuade other prisoners to be honest." We still wonder who this kid is, but now we know that it is. ”

Xu Rong thought about it, could it be that the prime minister has really changed his sex, and he will become so good to people? "Now we are in danger, you may die at any time if you join us, are you afraid of death?"

Wei Lin straightened his chest, "I'm not afraid, Cheng is so good to me, it's worth my death." If I can't die, the prime minister will give me five acres of land in the future. Wei Lin pointed to some of the captives, "And he, he, they, aren't all like me, to be the prime minister's soldiers." None of those who were pointed out dodged and stood up, "General, take us, take us." ”

From the morning to now, Xu Rong smiled for the first time today, "Okay, give them weapons and let them go to the wall together." ”

The number of prisoners who took the initiative to ask for battle frightened Xu Rong, there were more than 20,000 people, four times the current defenders of Bishui Pass! Although only two or three hundred of them had experienced the release of the prisoners by Boss Dong, they all actively encouraged their companions to talk about the benefits of being Boss Dong's soldiers, and said that those prisoners who had no land and property and wanted to go home were itching in their hearts, and so many people were encouraged at once. Xu Rong was originally worried that they would defect in front of the battle, but then he thought that even if his side did not defect in front of the battle, it would be difficult to escape, so it was better to gamble, maybe a miracle would happen.

Pouring fire oil on the granary, Xu Rong grabbed the two soldiers and handed them torches, "Listen, once you see that the gate is closed, you will immediately set fire to the grain, and then you can run for your life or commit suicide, in short, I will definitely die at that time, understand?" ”

"Understood!"

When Xu Rong returned to the pass, he couldn't help but be surprised, surprised by the performance of those captives, the courage they showed was no less than Dong Zhuojun's, they tied a red cloth on their left arm for identification, and when the coalition army was still inexplicable, they suddenly beat the enemy who had already attacked the wall.

When Li Wei saw Xu Rong, he shouted, "Old Xu really has you, you can persuade them to help us, there is a set." ”

Xu Rong smiled bitterly: "It's not that I have a set, but the prime minister has a set, and these people are helping us because of the prime minister." Taking advantage of the gap between the battles, Xu Rong told the details of what happened. Li Dao pouted, "I can't imagine that the prime minister is still this kind of person, Lao Li, I really mislook at him." ”

Although it temporarily repelled a wave of attacks by the coalition forces, the coalition forces soon woke up and began a fierce siege again, and the locust-like bows and arrows pressed the defenders of Bishui Pass to raise their heads. A large number of coalition troops stepped on the cloud platform and directly killed the wall.

Seeing this scene, the defenders of Bishui Pass began to tremble for the first time, and some of the prisoners who joined temporarily began to waver, and some even quietly tore off the red cloth tied to their arms, ready to return to the arms of the people at any time.

Yuan Shao, who was standing in the distance, was triumphant, laughed and said to the other princes, "See? We've got it this time! It's ridiculous that Lu Bu, who fell for the plan but didn't know, is still waiting for us to ambush in the valley! Haha......"

The princes had to give Yuan Shao a few words of flattery, and at the same time they thought in their hearts that after they laid down the Bishui Pass, they should pull troops everywhere and replenish the soldiers first. As for those cannon fodder soldiers who went to bait for Lu Bu, who was in the mood to pay attention to them?

Liu Bei's face was relaxed, and his troops did not participate in the siege under the pretext of protecting the big battalion, which was not considered a breach of promise. Today, Cao Cao resolutely refused to participate in the siege, and Yuan Shao, who had a ghost in his heart, did not dare to forcibly order him. At this moment, Cao Cao couldn't help but look back at the road between Bishui Pass and Tiger Prison Pass, as if he was waiting for someone.

Cao Cao and the others finally came, and suddenly, the ground seemed to tremble, and countless cavalry appeared on the horizon. Yuan Shao was shocked and hurriedly dispatched troops to meet the incoming enemy.

The enemy's cavalry did not entangle with the coalition forces, and directly rushed to the rescue of Bishui Pass. Seven hundred armored infantry remained to meet the division of the coalition army, and among the seven hundred soldiers there was a big banner with three big characters written on it - trapped camp!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kang Peng didn't say a word, just took a piece of paper and showed it to the old wolf, on which were written the words "protagonist".

The old wolf didn't speak, took the paper and wrote down a few big characters of the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing - "The Legend of Gaolishi", and handed it back to Kang Peng. Then ......, and then Kang Peng was gone.
