Chapter 156 Cao Cao arrived
"Brother Benchu, now that the military situation is urgent, I think it is best for you and me to divide our troops, and I will first take the Yulin Cavalry to quickly support the Tiger Prison Pass!"
"Haha! Meng De doesn't have to worry, I don't have that much ability to measure those mud legs, the Tiger Prison Pass is the first male pass in the world, and it is not something that those guys can beat! ”
"Brother Ben Chu is wrong in what he said, the two old generals Huangfu Yizhen and Zhu Gongwei are both famous generals of my Han Dynasty. Now the two of them are forced to ask for help three times a day by Bocai, which shows that the Yellow Turban Thieves are powerful, and the military situation is like fire, and they must not slack off! ”
"Cao Mengde, you are bold! Don't forget that I am the commander of this army, and if I say no, I can't! Do you want to disobey? ”
Yuan Shao's originally smiling face changed color after hearing Cao Cao's words, he didn't expect that this friend he had been a child would refute him like this.
Originally, this time his uncle promised him to let him lead the army alone, but he didn't expect to add Cao Cao in the end.
He has always complained about this matter, but because his city is deeper, he has never shown it, but Cao Cao's current words make him very angry.
He is the master of an army, this Cao Cao not only does not have the slightest respect for him, but also wants to provoke his majesty, Yuan Shao must not allow such a person to appear in his army.
If it weren't for the emperor's order, he would have driven Cao Cao out of his army long ago, lest this guy be an eyesore here, and now he decided to warn the other party well.
But what Yuan Shao didn't expect was that before he could teach Cao Cao a lesson, he was severely reprimanded by Cao Cao, and he was speechless!
"Yuan Benchu! Now is not the time to play the prestige of the fourth and third princes of your Yuan family! The Tiger Prison Pass is in jeopardy, and maybe it will be taken down by the Yellow Turban Thieves in the next moment! At that time, not only your Yuan family, but even the big Han will be destroyed in your hands! If you insist on going your own way again, I will immediately send someone to report your words and deeds to Your Majesty, and I will see what you will do when the time comes! ”
After saying that, Cao Cao turned around and ignored Yuan Shao, directly waved his hand and called the Yulin cavalry in the team, and took the five thousand cavalry straight to the Tiger Prison Pass.
Yuan Shao looked at Cao Cao's back and trembled with anger, he wanted to send someone to take Cao Cao down, but he really didn't dare to do it, he knew that what Yuan Shao said was not wrong at all.
It's just that he controlled the speed of the march before, because his uncle was going to use this matter to pinch Liu Hong and see if he could force Liu Hong to kill Zhang Rang.
Once Liu Hong commits a crime, then Yuan Kui will become the only hero who has eliminated the Ten Standing Servants, and then he will be able to take advantage of this east wind to reach a higher level.
Although Yuan Kui is now ranked among the third dukes, he is considered a very popular minister, but before the Han Dynasty, there was a role model Wang Mang there, and Yuan Kui said that it was impossible not to envy it.
He had long had ambitions to covet that position, but he had been holding back because of the wrong timing, and he thought it was an excellent opportunity.
Now this opportunity was inadvertently destroyed by Cao Cao, which made Yuan Shao hate it to the root of his teeth, but he had no choice but to rush to the Tiger Prison Pass as soon as possible.
If he deliberately delayed the trip and really let Cao Cao sue Emperor Ling, their Yuan family would face a catastrophe, and Liu Hong would never let them do this kind of behavior even if he was mediocre.
The helpless Yuan Shao took his soldiers to speed up, but many soldiers complained about this acceleration, and even deserters had already appeared after a few miles of marching.
This made Yuan Shao's head extremely big, and for a while, the support progress of the Han army was slower than that of a snail, and at this time, the front of the Tiger Prison became a sea of fire.
Bocai made a ruthless move, he kept sending people to rush to the front of the pass with firewood, braving the rain of arrows of the Han army on the pass, Bocai army paid the price of tens of thousands of people, and actually fought a bloody road!
Then Bo Cai ordered someone to light the fire, and he actually wanted to burn the wall of the Tiger Prison, even if he couldn't burn the city wall in front of him, it would be no problem to burn it red.
In this way, the Han army had no way to defend the city, as long as the Han army lost its geographical advantage, his crowd tactics could drown the Han army in one go.
Soon Bo Cai's face showed a smug smile, and now there was no shadow of a Han army in sight, and the bluestone city wall was really burned red.
Not to mention the standing people, even the birds can't fly from above, and what makes him happiest is that the gates of the Tiger Prison have been burned and twisted.
Now the gate of the Tiger Prison Pass only needs to be lightly attacked again, then it will become a pile of discarded wood, and then his road to Luoyang will become unimpeded.
As time passed, the fire slowly became smaller, and Bocai sent someone to try it a little, although the surface was still a little hot when he walked up, but it was not impossible to get on people.
He immediately sent his troops to storm the gate of the Tiger Prison Pass with the rushing carts, and after his army rushed out, there was a great chaos in the Tiger Prison Pass.
Zhu Jun had already discovered Bo Cai's conspiracy, and just now he led someone to stop it, but unfortunately because the difference in numbers was too large, they were powerless to stop it.
Bo Caijun lit the fire, and when the fire was just ignited, Zhu Jun and his people wanted to extinguish the fire, but they were shot back by Bo Caijun's random arrows.
When the fire scorched the wall, the desperate Zhu Jun could only lead someone to carry Huangfu Song down the pass, his heart was gloomy, because he knew that they would probably not be able to withstand the next wave of attacks from the Bocai army.
However, Zhu Jun did not give up, he has been sending people to observe the city wall, once the city wall can send people up, he will immediately take people to climb the city wall.
Even if he was scalded to death, he couldn't let Bocai's conspiracy succeed!
The people sent to observe quickly reported the situation, and now the Bocai army is gathering outside the closed door.
Zhu Jun looked at the wall that was still a little red, and was about to rush up with someone gritting his teeth, when Huangfu Song sent someone to report the good news.
It turned out that Cao Cao, the commander of the cavalry, came to reinforce with Yulin Cavalry, and now he has arrived at another gate in the Tiger Prison Pass, and Zhu Jun was excited to tears when he heard the news.
Don't look at him for so many years, but it is the first time that he has fought so aggrieved, mainly because the difference between them and the number of enemy troops is too huge.
Even if some of the Bocai army was sent out, there were nearly 100,000 people, and he and Huangfu Song's men combined were only more than 7,000 people.
The difference of more than ten times the manpower made them extremely passive, and if the sky had not extinguished the fire they had lit, they could still use the fire to fight with the Bocai army.
But God's men did not give face to anyone, and a pouring rain extinguished their hopes, and then they entered the hard battle to defend the city.
If it weren't for the Tiger Prison Pass, the world's first male pass, they would not be the opponent of so many enemy troops at all, but fortunately they persevered.
Now that the reinforcements are finally coming, Zhu Jun looked at the city wall in front of him as if he saw the enemy army on the opposite side, and he said to himself in a cold voice:
"Bocai! The old man has finally waited for this time, and now the old man wants to see how high you can jump! ”
