Chapter 95: Tiger Prison? Bishui Guan?
I saw Sun Jian get up and step forward and said, "I want to be the front." β
Yuan Shao looked at Sun Jian and said with satisfaction: "Wentai is brave and brave, but he can take on this important task." β
Sun Jian and Han Xuan led the people of the headquarters to kill Ben Shui Pass. The guards of the Tiger Prison got the news and quickly went to the Luoyang Prime Minister's Mansion to report the emergency. Dong Zhuo has been drinking and feasting every day since he took power alone. He took over the 30,000 elite troops of Huangfu Song, and he held the male army, thinking that he could defeat the princes who were fighting separately. Li Ru received the urgent document and came straight to report to Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly convened the generals to discuss. Dong Zhuo asked Li Rudao: "In the past, the princes were still stationed in various places to fight, but now why do they gather the princes of the Eighteen Roads to gather on the periphery of Luoyang?" β
Li Ru stepped forward to report: "According to the detailed report, it was Han Xuan who instigated Sun Jian to summon the princes of the Eighteen Roads to come to the alliance!" β
Dong Zhuo said angrily: "Han Xuan'er, and his brother Han Hao. Not only did he refuse to conquer the prime minister several times, but now he actually encouraged the princes to attack me, which is really hateful! β
I saw a man more than eight feet long, and a fierce general with a tiger's back and a wolf's waist stepped forward and said, "Father, don't worry. The princes outside the gate regard it as a mustard. I am willing to mention the division of the tiger and wolf, behead Yuan Shao, Han Xuan and others, and hang them in the capital. β
Dong Zhuo looked at him and said happily: "I have Fengxian, sit back and relax!" β
Dong Zhuo immediately ordered: "Order Lu Bu to be the vanguard and Hu Zhen to be the general." led 80,000 horses and infantry troops, and quickly went to the Tiger Prison Pass to meet the enemy. β
Tiger Prison Pass, also known as Bishui Pass, was renamed Bishui Pass after the Tang Dynasty. As the eastern gateway and important pass of Luoyang, the Tiger Prison Pass was named after King Mu of Zhou who imprisoned the tiger here. This pass is connected with Songyue in the south, the Yellow River in the north, and the mountains are staggered, which is a natural danger. There is a trend of "one husband is the pass, ten thousand people are not open", and it is a place for soldiers of all dynasties.
In the romance, it is divided into two passes, Bishui Pass and Tiger Prison Pass, and there are two good scenes of Guan Yu Wenjiu slashing Huaxiong and Sanying fighting Lu Bu. Han Xuan has always wanted to find out Liu Guanzhang and the others under Gongsun Zhan's tent, Han Xuan really wanted to direct this good play, but every time the big tent was discussed, they were not seen.
Han Xuan looked at the dangerous Tiger Prison Pass in front of him, and suggested to Sun Jian: "The Tiger Prison Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Dong Zhuo will send heavy troops to support when he hears that my army is coming." General Sun might as well send someone to inform Yuan Shao and let him lead a large army to reinforcements. β
Sun Jian waved his hand and said: "Now that our department is the vanguard, we should take advantage of Dong Zhuo's reinforcements to attack the Tiger Prison Pass." Then rely on the danger of the tiger prison pass, resist Dong Zhuo's reinforcements, and wait for Yuan Shao to lead the army, and the internal and external attacks can break the enemy army. In this way, we will wait for the first credit! β
Han Xuan saw that Sun Jian didn't listen to his advice, so he stopped talking. Unexpectedly, Sun Jian said: "Han County ordered you to order two thousand Yellow Turban soldiers to be the front, and I will supervise the army to attack the city closely behind." β
Han Xuanxin said that Sun Jian wanted these Yellow Turban soldiers to be cannon fodder, and Sun Jian supervised the army behind to prevent these people from escaping, and the Yellow Turban soldiers had no way to retreat so they had to attack the city.
Han Xuan had no choice but to comply, and the two thousand Yellow Turban soldiers rushed forward against the light flying ladder, and behind them was Sun Jian's army pushing the ladder and rushing the cart. When the Yellow Turban soldiers rushed closer, a rain of arrows fell on the Tiger Prison, and the Yellow Turban soldiers suffered heavy casualties. For a while, the city was wailing, and the Yellow Turbans tried to escape, but as soon as several of the Yellow Turbans turned around, the Overseer Captains behind them beheaded them.
The Yellow Turbans had no choice but to rush forward, and they built the trench bridge over the trench and moat dug by the defenders, allowing the army to cross the moat and successfully rush under the city walls. More than half of them had already been killed or wounded when they rushed to the bottom of the walls, but they managed to cover Sun Jian's army and push the ladders and carts under the walls.
The Yellow Turbans set up the ladder to the wall and began to climb it. The guards threw down a large amount of radium rolling wood, and the Yellow Turban soldiers rolled down the ladder with a wail. Han Xuan couldn't help but sigh when he saw such a tragic scene in the distance, this is war. The besieging side often has a 10-to-1 ratio of casualties to capture a fortified city.
Sun Jian's elite infantry slammed the gate with a huge cart loaded with logs, while the guards held the gate behind it, and the two sides wrestled constantly. The bamboo and wooden ladders erected by the Yellow Turban soldiers were easily destroyed by the defenders, and the wooden ladders were pushed away, and they fell off the ladders in amazement.
Sun Jian's army set up the ladder to the city wall, and the hook at the top of the ladder firmly hooked the edge of the city; Wheels are installed under the ladder and can be moved. This is more of a headache for the defending soldiers than the flying ladders of the Yellow Turban Army, which are huge and difficult to destroy. Cheng Pu led the archers to continuously fire arrows at the city tower, and the soldiers on the city tower also shot at him, and the two sides suffered casualties on each other. However, they succeeded in attracting the attention of the crossbowmen on the walls, and soldiers began to charge the walls.
The generals guarding the pass fought hard with their soldiers and beat Sun Jian's army back. Sun Jian saw that he couldn't attack the Tiger Prison Pass in a hurry, so he ordered the siege soldiers to withdraw first. Sun Jian said with emotion: "Tiger Prison Pass is really a heroic pass!" β
Han Xuangang wanted to persuade Sun Jian to continue attacking the city, otherwise his previous efforts would be wasted, and so many siege soldiers would be killed and wounded in vain. Unexpectedly, a sudden earth-shattering shout of killing sounded, and a large number of cavalry killed, and the word "Dong" was written on the banner.
Sun Jian shouted: "It's Dong Zhuo's reinforcements!" He immediately ordered Cheng Pu, Zu Mao, and Huang Gai to strictly order the soldiers not to panic and retreat while fighting. However, how could more than 30,000 people do the order and prohibit, and there are still many soldiers who flee in surprise.
Thousands of elite Xiliang Iron Cavalry forwards attacked sharply and crushed Sun Jian's army. Han Xuan and Huang Zhong led the cavalry and infantry to spread their legs and ran in the direction of Yuan Shao's camp, and Han Xuan and Huang Zhong led the cavalry to run back to Yuan Shao's camp first.
Yuan Shu, Cao Cao and others hurriedly asked: "Where is Sun Wentai, why did you come back first?" β
Han Xuan replied: "General Sun led the army to attack the Tiger Prison Pass and failed, and encountered reinforcements sent by Dong Zhuo. Our army suffered heavy losses, and General Yuan sent troops to the rescue. β
Yuan Shao nodded, and immediately ordered: "Wang Kuang, Qiao Mao, Bao Xin, Yuan Yi, Kong Rong, Zhang Yang, Tao Qian, Gongsun Zhan." You wait to bring in troops to pick up the Wentai! β
Hanoi guarded Wang Kuang too much, and led the troops to arrive first. Lu Bu took three thousand wolves and rode to meet them. General Wang Kuang formed a formation, and when he saw it under the banner of Le Mamen, he saw Lu Bu coming out of the formation, wearing a purple and gold crown with a three-pronged bundle of hair, a red brocade robe of Xichuan on his body, a beast-faced head swallowing chain armor, and a delicate lion belt at the waist; Bow and arrow with him, holding a Fang Tian painting halberd; Sit down and neigh the red rabbit horse.
Wang Kuang turned around and asked, "Who dares to fight?" I saw a general behind him, and he rode out with a gun. Wang Kuang saw that it was his subordinate Fang Yue, a famous general in Hanoi. Fang Yue led a hundred cavalry to rush over, and Lu Bu immediately met him. The two horses intersected, Lu Bu stabbed Fang Yue with a halberd, Fang Yue barely blocked it with a horizontal spear, and secretly marveled at the strength of this general. Fang Yue was beaten by Lu Bu and had no power to fight back, and before he could fight to Wuhe, Lu Bu stabbed Fang Yue under the horse with a halberd, and rushed straight over with a halberd.
Seeing that Fang Yue was killed, the hundred cavalry were so frightened that they rushed back to the battle. LΓΌ Bu led a large army to pursue, and Wang Kuang's army was defeated and scattered in all directions. Fortunately, Qiao Mao and Yuan Yi arrived in time to save Wang Kuang. The three armies attacked LΓΌ Bu together, and LΓΌ Bu had to lead the army to retreat.
Wang Kuang and others met with Bao Xin, Zhang Yang and other princes, and the princes of the Eighth Route led the army to rescue Sun Jian. Hu Zhenzheng commanded the army to attack Sun Jian, and when he saw Wang Kuang and other armies coming, he had to lead the army to retreat.
Sun Jian and the others returned to the camp, and Sun Jian said to Yuan Shao in shame: "It is not good to fight hard, please punish the alliance leader." β
Yuan Shao comforted: "Victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and Wentai is frightened. Go down and rest. β
