Chapter 328: Dog eats dog, a mouthful of hair
Huaxiong was beheaded by Guan Yu, and Li Su didn't dare to slack off after learning the news, and hurriedly wrote the news into a document and reported it to Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo couldn't help but be shocked when he learned the news, and quickly summoned Li Ru and other generals to discuss how to break the enemy.
Li Ru said: "Now the Eighteenth Road rebellion is huge, and General Huaxiong has been beheaded, which is extremely unfavorable to us. Now the rebel alliance leader is Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao's uncle Yuan Kui is the Taifu, if Yuan Kui should be compatible with the outside, then we are really in danger! So in my opinion, get rid of Yuan Kui first! β
After Dong Zhuo heard Li Rude's suggestion, he thought so, and then ordered Li Xuan and Guo Yan to bring 500 soldiers to surround Taifu Yuan Kui's family, and some men, women, and children were slaughtered.
And Dong Zhuo led 200,000 troops, and the soldiers were divided into two ways and came to the front of the pass.
One of them ordered Li Dao and Guo Yan to lead 50,000 soldiers and horses to defend Bishui Pass. Dong Zhuo's order to them was to strictly guard against them and not to attack easily.
Dong Zhuo led an army of 150,000 to guard the Tiger Pass with Li Ru, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji and others.
Then Dong Zhuo hung the heads of Yuan Kui's family on the city wall as a warning!
Seeing the heads of his uncle's family, Yuan Shao was so angry that he vomited blood, his eyes were blood-red, and he vowed to take revenge!
Then Yuan Shao abandoned the water and gathered the soldiers and horses of the princes of the Eighteenth Route to attack the Tiger Prison Pass together.
However, the siege battle suffered heavy casualties, and the princes of the Eighteen Routes had different intentions, and no one refused to contribute.
In the end, Yuan Shao's eyes were red, he drew his long sword and said: "I have 30,000 soldiers and horses, and Yuan Shu's 20,000 soldiers and horses, and I will attack the front city wall together." Each of the remaining princes had a section of the city wall. I will organize a team of supervisors, and those who dare to retreat will be killed! β
After speaking, Yuan Shao drew his long sword and cut off a corner of the table with a sword.
Seeing that Yuan Shao was serious, the other princes could only take it seriously.
Then Yuan Shao began to divide the area one by one, as for the three brothers of Liu Bei, because there were too few soldiers and horses left, they were finally divided into Kong Rong.
When it was divided into Lu Bu, Lu Bu spread his hands and said: "Alliance leader, I have 5,000 soldiers and horses, all of which are cavalry, and siege is not what we are good at!" β
These princes, when they saw Lu Bu's 5,000 cavalry for the first time, they thought that Lu Bu was a big spender, and he actually dispatched so many cavalry.
At this time, he saw through Lu Bu's sinister intentions, and he had already calculated that he was going to attack the city, and in the siege battle, the cavalry was useless at all!
Even Cao Cao secretly slandered in his heart, this Fengxian is really too cunning!
Why didn't I come up with such a brilliant trick?
Yuan Shao had to say: "In this case, then Fengxian's five thousand cavalry will respond at any time, and they need to beware of the assistance from the Bishui Pass, as well as the reinforcements sent from other places." β
Well, in this way, they besieged the Tiger Prison Pass, and the road was counted as a siege point to send reinforcements!
After the plan was completed, the princes of the Seventeenth Route began to make siege equipment and attack the Tiger Prison Pass.
Due to the frontal attack of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's 50,000 troops, they took on the greatest pressure, causing other princes to have to follow and attack the city.
For a time, arrows rained down the city wall, and both sides suffered extremely heavy casualties.
Of course, the casualties on the besieging side were even more severe.
Among them, the easiest is the five thousand cavalry led by Lu Bu.
Just need to walk back and forth, there is no, and the other dozen or so princes who are angry are secretly gritting their teeth.
For three days in a row, Yuan Shao's coalition forces were fiercely attacking Tiger Pass.
At this time, Dong Zhuo's casualties on the defending side of the city also began to be heavy.
In fact, Dong Zhuo's 150,000 army, if he really wants to defend it wholeheartedly, even if the coalition army is nearly 300,000 troops, it is unlikely to break through the city.
But helplessly, Dong Zhuo was arrogant and domineering, and there was almost no one in the Manchu Dynasty who did not hate him, including the people in Luoyang City.
Now he and his army are defending in the Tiger Prison Pass and Bishui Pass, and as time goes by, there will be changes in Luoyang City.
In case Luoyang City gets out of control, when the time comes, he will join forces with the coalition forces, and then Dong Zhuo will die without a place to be buried.
Therefore, three days after the coalition forces attacked the city, Dong Zhuo began to be anxious!
Then, Dong Zhuo issued an order ordering Li Dao and Guo Yan to send troops to attack Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's army.
Now Dong Zhuo took advantage of the fact that the princes of the Eighteenth Route were not united, and first hit Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.
As long as their allies are defeated, the coalition will be defeated.
On the second day, the princes of the Eighteenth Route continued to practice the Tiger Pass.
Li Dao and Guo Yan in Bishui Pass each led 20,000 soldiers and horses to kill under the Tiger Prison Pass, and their target was Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses.
Seeing that Li Dao and Guo Yan led 40,000 soldiers and horses to kill the generals, Lu Bu led 5,000 cavalry and met Li Dao's 20,000 troops.
As for Guo Yan's army of 20,000, Lu Bu chose to let it go.
In fact, if Lu Bu really wanted to use 5,000 cavalry to intercept Li Dao and Guo Yan's 40,000 troops, it was not impossible.
However, in this way, his 5,000 cavalry is bound to be damaged, which is a situation that Lu Bu absolutely does not want to see.
LΓΌ Bu led 5,000 cavalry and killed 20,000 troops against Li Dao.
And Guo Yan led an army of 20,000 to kill Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao's army.
At this time, in the Tiger Prison Pass, Zhang Ji also led an army of 20,000 to kill the generals, preparing to join forces inside and outside to kill the army of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.
Being attacked from inside and outside, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's army was suddenly panicked, with heavy casualties.
Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were shocked, and hurriedly contracted the formation, put on a defensive formation, and then asked the princes from all walks of life for help.
And the princes from all walks of life have been attacking the city in the past few days, and they have suffered heavy casualties and low morale, and the princes from all walks of life have complained about Yuan Shao in their hearts.
Because the reason why Yuan Shao ordered all the princes to besiege the Tiger Prison Pass was actually because Yuan Shao's uncle's family was killed, that is to say, Yuan Shao was because of his personal vendetta, and then he did not hesitate to let the major princes lose their troops.
At this moment, seeing that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were besieged, all the princes were passive and slow, and they sincerely wanted to see Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and Dong Zhuo lose both.
Fortunately, Lu Bu was brave enough and powerful enough, and the 5,000 cavalry penetrated Li Dao's 20,000 troops with just a sprint, which directly caused the formation of Li Dao's army to be completely messed up.
Then Li Daode's army completely turned into a defensive lineup, and he tried his best to deal with the impact of Lu Bu's cavalry, and was completely dragged down by Lu Bu's cavalry.
Otherwise, if Lu Bu couldn't hold back Li Dao's 20,000 troops and let Li Dao's 20,000 troops form a flank attack on Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's 50,000 troops, I'm afraid Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu would really be defeated.
However, Lu Bu's cavalry only played a role in involving Li Dao's army, and did not think about killing Li Dao's army quickly, although this was not too difficult for the five thousand cavalry.
But if you want to kill the 20,000 army quickly, Lu Bu's 5,000 cavalry will inevitably be killed and wounded, so Lu Bu is unwilling to do this!
