Chapter 517: The Battle of Tiger Prison Pass (Part II)

Yuan Shu and others are wondering that the Chu army is going and returning, Tao Qian is even more entangled, he knew that the Chu army was there, he would not join the coalition army if he was killed, and his eldest son was still in Cao Xing's army?

The local officials and generals in Xuzhou have a close relationship with Cao Xing, for example, the Mi family, which is the head of the civil officials, and Cao Bao, the head of the military attachΓ©, not to mention Cao Bao, who has now recognized their ancestors and returned to their ancestors with Cao Xing and merged into the same family.

The moment the "Chu" flag was displayed, the entire Tao Qian army was already panicked, and Xuzhou Wenwu was full of panic and evasion.

This is the rhythm of fleeing before fighting.

Zhong Xuan, who was closing the tiger prison, could feel it from thousands of steps, Tao Qianjun's mood changed, there was no way, the entire army was in a commotion, and even the military flag was shaking from time to time.

Zhong Xuan stood on the high place of the city mound, and his bloodstained sword pointed at the sky:

"Soldiers who are still on the run! Look at what the rebellious army under the city looked like when they were frightened by the Chu Ziqi? Look at the Chu army spies above the city! Check out their Flying Fish suits!

The Chu army did not give up on us! Didn't give up the Tiger Prison Pass! The Chu army is with us!

Come back! Back in the city, we fought side by side with the Chu army, and after the victory of the battle, you and I are both Chu troops!

Come back! ”

From the official siege of the Cao coalition army to the city to shoot the first wave of arrow rain, and then the main general and deputy general of the Tiger Prison Pass fled in a hurry, and the city was in chaos, until Zhong Xuan took the lead and several brocade guards such as the military marquis and the tun chief showed their identities and drove the cannon fodder of the coalition army off the city.

It is very long to say, but the time of this whole process is very short, and the defenders of the city head from rioting to escaping are slower than the three straw bales of General Yuan, who fled directly without the process of rioting.

In addition, some of them were far away from the stairs, and they witnessed the bravery of the Jinyi Guard and the subordinates and Zhong Xuan above the city, and most of these soldiers stayed and chose to wait and see.

That is to say, with the exception of three bales of straw that had already gone far by virtue of being one step ahead of the men and horses, many of the defenders had not fled far, even above the city.

Zhong Xuanmu shouted vigorously, the voice was very loud, the defenders could hear it clearly, plus the cheers above the city, how could they hear that their own side had won, and they could also hear the Chu army clearly.

The Chu army, which does not fight or rob to protect the people, can be said to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people among these defenders who are born in bitter haha.

The defenders at the head of the city listened to Zhong Xuan's shout and never fled again, and the defenders who had already left the city also stopped their pace after listening to Zhong Xuan's shout.

I don't know who took the lead, but when the first defender who had fled to the city began to walk towards the city and chose to return to his post, more and more defenders who had already fled began to choose to go back.

Zhong Xuan's shouting was still the same, and the mobilization of the guards began:

"The elite of the Chu army is here!"

Several brocade guards looked at their leader, the original defender marquis, and the marquis did not hesitate:

"The last general!"

A total of more than 300 soldiers and non-staff members of the Chu army responded loudly!

Zhong Xuan then shouted:

"The Han soldiers are here!"

"The last general!"

In addition to the more than 300 soldiers in addition to the Chu army, one or two hundred defenders also joined in the response, and they were so quiet and embarrassed.

Zhong Xuan nodded at them full of approval:

"The Han soldiers are here!"

"The last general!"

More than 500 people answered loudly at the top of their voices, and hundreds more answered in small voices, Zhong Miao continued to repeat the same sentence: "Are the Han soldiers available?" ”

This sentence was shouted out again and again from Zhong Xuankezhong, and more and more soldiers answered, until all the 5,000 soldiers who were still in the Tiger Prison Pass gathered at the head of the city and its surroundings, and responded in unison.

At this moment, Zhong Xuan and the Marquis of the Jinyi Guard both knew that Yuan Shu would never have a chance to attack the Tiger Prison Pass again.

The questions and answers with high morale came from afar, and the Cao coalition army also heard it clearly, and they were all taken by the momentum of the defenders.

Seeking the Chinese army of the Cao Alliance, Tao Qian no longer wanted to stay, and he made a gesture against Yuan Shu:

"I have the threat of Zhao Ci and other thieves in the south in Xuzhou, and now I have led the army out for a long time, and I can't capture the Tiger Prison Pass, in order to prevent Xuzhou from losing, I still need to retire first!

I'm sorry! Leave! ”

Tao Qian finished his work, and without looking back, he led Cao Bao, Mi Fang and other generals, and left with the army of his headquarters.

Tao Qian's army left openly under the city, and the chaotic army suddenly lost a large area of tens of thousands of people, and there was no longer a pale yellow ocean.

With such a big change, the chain reaction soon appeared, the local scholars in Xuzhou couldn't sit still, and some people left with Tao Qian slightly, and then other local armed forces who were afraid of the Chu army also began to leave secretly.

The chaotic army formation, from time to time there is a lack of a piece here, a lack of a piece there, the morale of the defenders watching is even stronger, and Zhong Xuan did not give up this opportunity to publicize it.

"It's a retreat! Coward! In time, I will make you escapees look good! ”

Yuan Shu scolded, and there was nothing to do, although he was crazy, but he was not stupid, Tao Qian was his most loyal ally, and he "blocked" the front line of the Chu army for him, no matter what, he couldn't fall out.

It was this scolding that frightened some of the local armed forces of Qingyan who were ready to slip away.

There is no way for the local armed Yuan Shu in Xuzhou, Qingyan is embarrassed, he is the Yanzhou pastor and the commander-in-chief of the Qingzhou military, and even the Yanzhou assassin is his descendant Yang Hong.

It can be said that the monk can't escape the temple.

Tao Qian's behavior also made Gongsun Zhan worried, but he soon turned angry, he had not faced the Chu army directly, and he was invincible in a hundred battles in the northern frontier of the Han Dynasty, but he was not afraid of the Chu army.

He instigated the white horse sitting down to spin around in place, and while venting his emotions in his heart, he said to Yuan Shu: "The anti-thieves in Youzhou are flat, but there are many alien thieves!" ”

Just when Yuan Shu thought he was leaving, Gongsun Zhan changed his words:

"However, almost all those who dare to rebel have been killed by me! Even if I'm not doing something, after King Qin is over, I can still clean them up!

So, Alliance Leader, go ahead and attack! ”

Yuan Shu's energy was greatly boosted by Gongsun Zhan's encouragement, and he waved his hand: "General Ye, General Liu, General Xue...... I command you, as the leader of the Alliance, to attack the city! ”

A large wave of local Qingyan armed forces played the role of cannon fodder and began to attack the city.

There is a shortage of cannon fodder weapons and uniforms, and there are few siege equipment, and the terrain of Tiger Prison Pass is narrow, and too many people can't use it, so they can only support no more than 2,000 people in the city and under the city to fight at the same time.

Zhong Xuan took several Jinyi guards as generals, and the supernumerary soldiers of Jinyi Wei as the backbone, led 5,000 untrained defenders to defend the city in batches.

The invincible cannon fodder tactics once again had the opposite effect, and the defenders received actual combat training in their wave after wave of low-intensity siege battles, and their combat strength was quickly formed.
