Chapter 144: A Tentative Siege

In the prosperous Luoyang, with Dong Zhuo's order, there is no longer the tranquility of the past.

At this time, in Luoyang City, scenes of human tragedies were constantly staged.

Burning, killing, and looting, if you don't agree with each other, people will be rolling, and the streets and alleys are filled with panic and screams.

Every street, every house and shop, except for the sound of crying fathers and mothers, the rest is a monstrous fire, and houses have turned into black ruins under the relentless burning of the raging fire.

Men will be slaughtered if they resist a little, and women will end up even more tragically, and the big girls and little daughters-in-law who have a little grace will be dragged to a place where no one is humiliated whenever they encounter a rebel.

In just a few days, the entire Luoyang City was in chaos, with gunpowder smoke everywhere and corpses lying on the ground.

Tiger Prison Pass

At the end of another day's siege, Mu Yi was lying on a wooden bed in the Chinese army's tent and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Suddenly, the wild goose in the clouds of the Yiren Hall came to report: "Report to the lord, according to the news from the Yiren cousins, Dong Zhuo left the Tiger Prison a few days ago, and is now burning and looting in Luoyang!" ”

When Mu Yi heard this, he immediately sat up from the bed: "Drum gathering!" ”

"Whoa!"

Although it was already night, the drums of the three-way gathering generals sounded, and all the generals under Mu Yi were absent, and they came to the big tent of the Chinese army one after another.

After everyone finished saluting, Mu Yi told the news brought by the Yiren Hall.

When Huang Zhong heard this, he bowed his hand and said with a puzzled face: "The Tiger Prison Pass is a barrier to Luoyang, once the Tiger Prison Pass is lost, Luoyang will be in no danger to defend, how could Dong Zhuo make such a big mistake?" Is the news of the lord true? ”

Huang Zhong's speculation is not unreasonable, in his heart, no matter who he changes, it is impossible to give up the Tiger Prison Pass, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and retreat to Luoyang.

Mu Yi nodded, and said in a firm tone: "This matter is absolutely true! ”

Tai Shici was also full of doubts, walked out of the column, and arched his hand: "Lord, since the news is true, why did Dong Zhuo do this?" Giving up the Tiger Prison Pass, burning, killing and looting in Luoyang, such an act is purely self-destruction of the Great Wall, and it does not benefit Dong Zhuo at all. There is no shortage of strategists under Dong Zhuo's command, how could he sit back and watch Dong Zhuo make such a big mistake? ”

Mu Yi smiled faintly: "Although Dong Zhuo is powerful, everything he has done has already been angry and resentful. If you deal with anyone alone, the strength in Dong Zhuo's hands is definitely more than enough, but if you face the entire history of the world's state herdsmen, he Dong Zhuo does not have that strength. The reason why Dong Zhuo gave up the Tiger Prison Pass was because he was preparing to move the capital to Chang'an. If Dong Zhuo takes away all the people and wealth of Luoyang, burns Luoyang cleanly with a fire, leaving a tasteless Luoyang that is tasteless and a pity to abandon, what should the princes of the eighteen towns do? At that time, the princes of the eighteen towns will definitely not attack themselves because of the fight in the nest, and Xiliang is Dong Zhuo's base camp, Dong Zhuo only needs to recuperate for a few years, and when his strength grows, he can eat up the princes of the world one by one. Just imagine, by that time, the states and counties in the world would have already fallen apart, and would there still be a crusade against Dong Zhuo by various coalition forces? ”

When everyone heard this, they all showed expressions of understanding. Since they came here, they have long seen clearly, the princes of the eighteen towns seem to be allies on the surface, but in private, they all want to get the most out of it.

If Dong Zhuo moves west to Chang'an, then there will be infighting among people, and the alliance of princes will probably end here.

Dong Zhuo is defeated, those who should be famous are famous, and those who should have obtained benefits have not obtained benefits, and there will definitely be people fighting for them, so that without Dong Zhuo's hands, Luoyang will be a place where the princes of the eighteen towns tear their faces.

"Does the lord want to send troops to Luoyang?" Gao Shun asked with some excitement.

Since Dong Zhuo is ready to evacuate, then rushing to Luoyang as soon as possible will have military exploits, as military generals, only fighting is their opportunity to make meritorious contributions. Being asked by Gao Shun like this, everyone was stunned, and their eyes looked at Mu Yi with blazing eyes.

However, Mu Yi had no intention of sending troops, but said to everyone: "Don't worry, let others explore the reality of Luoyang City first, let's just attack the Tiger Prison Pass!" Let people release the news, just say that Dong Zhuo has evacuated the Tiger Prison Pass, and now Luoyang is burning and preparing to move the capital to Chang'an! ”

Under Mu Yi's deliberateness, overnight, hundreds of thousands of troops from the princes of the Eighteen Towns began to spread that Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang and moved the capital to Chang'an.

After getting the news, all forces began to move. If Dong Zhuo is really ready to evacuate Luoyang, then he must take Luoyang as soon as possible.

Mu Yi was dragged by the Tiger Prison Pass, and after some deliberation, the princes of the Eighteen Towns finally decided that Sun Jian would serve as the vanguard officer, bypassing the Tiger Prison Pass and taking Luoyang directly, and the rest of the men and horses would follow. Mu Yi continued to attack the Tiger Prison Pass.

As a result, in less than a day, hundreds of thousands of horses and horses in the entire military camp were withdrawn one after another, leaving only 10,000 people under Mu Yi and the thousands of infantry besieging the city.

Although Dong Zhuo had withdrawn, Mu Yi didn't know how many people were stationed in Tiger Prison Pass, so he still took a tentative attack.

In today's siege, Mu Yi did not carry earth and stones as before, but first sent a team of 1,000 people to charge directly with a cloud ladder.

Thousands of soldiers rushed forward with oncoming arrows, and dozens of catapults threw stones at the head of the city.

For a while, the stone-smashed city wall rumbled, and the Xiliang soldiers who were hit by the stones on the city let out a scream of crying father and mother.

Stone arrows flew in the sky, and the thousand-strong team that rushed to the city wall set up ladders on the city wall.

The iron hook at one end of the ladder hooked the battlements of the city wall, dozens of people in a group, with rolling wood stones and arrows, the ladder was held steadily, and one by one the soldiers held knives in their mouths, holding shields along the ladder towards the city.

Mu Yi, who was standing in the distance, could clearly see that from time to time, soldiers were hit by rolling wooden stones and fell heavily from the ladder.

Some people were killed on the spot, and some people lay on the ground and let out heart-rending screams.

Although the soldiers on the ladder at the corner of the city wall were protected by shields, there were not a few people who were hit by rolling wooden stones.

In the face of the towering city walls of Tiger Prison Pass, the siege team of 1,000 people could not play much role at all. Although it was said that there were archers and catapults to cover them, in the end five or six hundred corpses were left behind, and the besieging soldiers were defeated in disarray.

After a tentative attack, Mu Yi finally determined that the number of people stationed at Tiger Prison Pass would not exceed 30,000 at most.

And these people are definitely not Dong Zhuo's Xiliang soldiers, they really belong to Dong Zhuo's direct line of soldiers and horses, I am afraid that they would have followed Dong Zhuo to Luoyang a long time ago.
