One hundred and nineteen plans will be settled
"Crunch.... Bang! ”
Under Xiahoudun's unwilling gaze, in the huge and piercing sound of closing the door, the tiger prison closed the door and closed again dullly.
Xiahoudun, in the end, still failed to catch up with Zhang Liao, who escaped.
Aside from the advantages and disadvantages of war horses, Zhang Liao's superb and proficient riding skills cultivated in the frontier are the biggest reliance.
Zhang Liao, who has been on the frontier for a long time and has superb equestrian skills, how can he be compared to ordinary cavalry?
Perhaps, this is also the reason why Zhang Liao comes and goes freely in front of Xiahoudun, because he has this certainty, not only because of strength, but also because equestrianism is also one of the important factors.
Of course, in fact, it can also be said that he doesn't dare to continue chasing...
The wind is scorching, the horses are neighing, and the battle is overwhelming!
When the Bingzhou wolf cavalry that followed Zhang Liao's side merged with it and formed a formation, Xiahou Xuan, who was still full of fighting spirit, had no intention of continuing to chase.
After all, when the force has not reached a level of rebellion, no matter how fierce a single general is, it will eventually be inferior to a large number of soldiers who have formed a battle formation.
Especially when the army facing is still an elite ace army formed by one in a million, the degree of danger faced is even more prominent!
As the only means used by the soldiers to resist the generals and strategists, when the battle array is formed and the breath is overwhelming, you dare to rush over, hehe, then there is only one way to die!
Moreover, Xiahoudun looked farther and farther.
The West Gate of the Tiger Prison Pass has been quietly opened, and several Xiliang generals slapped their horses and danced knives, lined up, with smoke and dust all the way and shouting killing, like meteors catching up with the moon, came to meet Zhang Liao.
Although he Xiahoudun is brave, he is not stupid, if he really chases after him single-handedly, his head will definitely be separated from his body in the end, and then he will be hung up and lit by someone!
What the?
You said that you want him to take the opportunity to lead people to charge, and then take advantage of the gap between others to retreat back to the city to break through the gate of the tiger prison?
Hehe!
The defenders of Xiliang are not stupid, first of all, the distance is not to mention, although the west gate of the other people is open, the gap is small, and it can be closed at any time.
Besides, the fast horse sprints, how fast, it has already arrived in front of it in an instant.
After all, a two-legged man can't be faster than a four-legged horse!
If he is really reckless, he will bring people over, and what awaits him is definitely a row of arrows and stones, as well as a butt of smoke and dust!
There was no way, Xiahoudun could only be full of displeasure, and watched Zhang Liao lead a wolf ride and successfully return to the Tiger Prison Pass.
"Whew..., forget it, at least the tasks given to me by Meng De have been completed."
After a long time, taking a deep breath, Xiahoudun sighed lightly, inhaled the cold air into his lungs, and then penetrated into his body, slightly suppressing the hot blood that was boiling to the point of gushing out.
Calculate carefully, in the battle just now, he picked one person to death, and then defeated Zhang Liao, Cao Cao's goal of suppressing the momentum of the soldiers defending Xiliang in the west of the city was also achieved.
So Xiahoudun also returned with a stupid horse and returned to Cao Cao, who was in the middle army.
Alas, I failed to take down the defender Zhang Liao, it seems that next, there will be a long and long war of secession, and we will prepare to attack the city again!
"Yuan Rang, good job!"
Cao Cao didn't say much, patted Xiahoudun on the shoulder who returned to his side, and after praising him for a good word, he also began to have a slight headache, looking at the tiger prison that was still standing.
As the saying goes, the upper army is plotting, the second is the enemy, the second is the army, and the next is the siege.
For the besieging side, in fact, it is often them who forcibly attack the city, as a last resort.
It is also, the most helpless method.
Because, such a siege means great consumption.
No, Cao Cao just got a battle report from the east gate and the south gate.
It's also a lot of losses!
Yuan Shao's side at the east gate began to attack in the morning, and before noon, Yan Liangwen Chou personally led the team and launched two charges.
The second time, there were already soldiers climbing the top of the city, but they were quickly cut down by the guards and threw the corpses down.
According to the summary and report, more than 10,000 people were killed and injured in the morning on this side of Guangdong City
It was entirely by relying on the fierce generals to take the lead, the bows and arrows, and the overseers to supervise the battle behind the battle, so that the besieging soldiers had no way to retreat, and everyone was brave, and a considerable number of casualties were also caused to the defenders.
In the afternoon of this day, the third onslaught began in the direction of the East Gate.
It's just that the defenders in the direction of the east gate of the Tiger Prison Pass have obviously strengthened their protection, and no one of the siege soldiers can get away with climbing to the top of the city, and the giant trees used to hit the city gate are also full of corpses.
As for the direction of the south gate, it is also at a loss, and it will only increase casualties.
"Alas, the plan will be released?" Cao Cao put down the letter, looked at the wall of the Tiger Prison in his own direction, and sighed lightly.
"Ah Cover, in fact, the way to attack the city is not to kill all the defenders, just to climb the wall or break the door to enter, then the defenders will naturally be demoralized, and our side is high-spirited and excited, and one can be ten."
Seeing Cao Cao's sad face, Wei Hong couldn't help but pat his horse and stepped forward and said comfortingly.
For his friend's comfort, Cao Cao just smiled bitterly and shook his head, and was about to say something, when he suddenly thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he stroked his palm and smiled: "Yes." ”
“?”
“?”
Wei Hong and Xiahou were stunned for a moment, and glanced at each other, both of them did not understand the meaning of Cao Cao's inexplicable words.
"Haha, I want to thank Wei Hong for reminding us, since we can't storm the Tiger Prison, we can completely not stick to the land of one city!" Cao Cao explained with a smile.
"In other words, we can attack from multiple levels, and the reason why the Tiger Prison is important to Dong Zhuo is entirely because this is Luoyang's barrier, and he wants to be stable!"
"Hehe, he wants to be stable, but we just don't let him be stable until the tiger prison loses its value!" The more Cao Cao spoke, the more energetic he became.
"At that time, the tiger will be closed, and you can get it!"
"You mean... Wonderful! Prompted by Cao Cao, Wei Hong was also bright.
"Hahaha, but, in this way, it still needs the cooperation of the southeast and southeast roads!" Cao Cao laughed and ordered.
"Yuan Rang, Miao Cai listens to orders! From this day on, the whole army shall not storm the city wall! ”
"What... What the?_?! Xia Houdun, who had not yet recovered from the riddle-like conversation between Cao Cao and Wei Hong, was about to pop out of his eyes.
No... Can't storm the walls?
This, what kind of strange order?
However, Cao Cao did not explain to him, but walked to the tent excitedly.
So, the job of explanation fell on Wei Hong.
He explained to Xiahoudun in detail that this was Cao Cao's plan to secretly display his cang.
Most of the western part of the city is flat and has no shelter, and for the besieging party, it is actually the most vulnerable to arrow injuries.
Therefore, starting tomorrow, Cao Cao Fang will deliberately fight tired and unwilling to exert all his strength.
On the contrary, by that time, the allied troops in Gongsun Zan in the south of the city and Yuan Shao in the east of the city had made full efforts to storm regardless of casualties, forcing the defenders to send troops and horses from the west of the city to reinforce these two directions.
At that time, if he can take advantage of this opportunity, Cao Cao will suddenly exert his strength, and he will definitely be able to break through the West City of Tiger Prison in one fell swoop!
