Chapter 226: Bloody Battle Tiger Prison
Liu Wei is extremely optimistic about forcibly tackling key problems, many TV dramas in later generations always swarmed up, climbed the ladder and easily went up to the city wall, and then defeated the defenders, so the city changed hands, in fact, these are all deceptive, since ancient times, attacking the city is the most downstream.
As the most fundamental defensive project of a city, how can the city wall be climbed so easily, whether it is rolling stones, wooden ramparts, or bows and arrows, it is fatal for the besieging side.
In many famous battles, with thousands of people able to block tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of enemies, you can know how difficult it is to attack the city, but Yuan Shao can rise up, after all, it is a good thing.
"Attack!" Yuan Shao's long howl suddenly resounded in the sky.
"The alliance leader has an order, start attacking!"
More than ten fast horses scattered from the Chinese army in an instant, conveying Yuan Shao's life, and suddenly, the low horn sound began to become excited, and the continuous drum beat became more and more high-pitched and urgent, like dense raindrops, beating on the hearts of the Kwantung soldiers, and the hot blood suddenly began to boil.
"Boom~"
With the issuance of Yuan Shao's military order, tens of thousands of soldiers standing beside the catapult struggled to pull the rope in their hands at the same time, and threw the huge stones towards the wall of the Tiger Prison Pass.
At the same time, the soldiers who were responsible for storming the city gate were already wearing huge shields, shouting in unison, taking steps, and pushing the heavy chariot towards the tiger prison gate.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
As the boulder smashed on the wall, the entire wall began to groan, but the Xiliang soldiers who crawled out of the sea of corpses and blood did not panic, and pulled the bows and arrows in their hands in an orderly manner, almost every arrow took the life of a non-commissioned soldier of the Kwantung Alliance, of course, countless Xiliang soldiers were also smashed under the boulder, smashed to pieces.
Hu Xuan hid to the side with a pale face, looking at the big pit smashed by the catapult of the Kwantung Coalition Army, if he hadn't dodged in time just now, I am afraid he would have died.
"Boom!"
A boulder almost brushed against Lu Bu's cheek, smashing heavily on the city tower, and suddenly smashed a pit on the city tower paved with blue bricks, and the hard green bricks were also smashed several times, revealing the mottled loess underneath, Lu Bu glanced at Hu Xuan lightly, and his eyes showed disdain.
"Wen Hou, fight back." Zhang Liao said in a deep voice: "Even if the wall can withstand the destruction of the enemy, it is not good for the morale of our army to be beaten passively. ”
"Don't worry, order the soldiers defending the city to find cover."
Lu Bu said lightly, although the catapult of the coalition army has a long range and great power, but it is affected by the physical strength of the operating soldiers and the coordination of the towing cable, it can be said that the hit accuracy is extremely poor, the key is that the east of the Tiger Prison Pass is a plain, and the huge stones are quite rare, so he concluded that the catapult of the Kwantung Coalition Army is just a bluffing thing, and once the stones are exhausted, it is the time for the Xiliang Army to counterattack.
Lu Bu judged correctly, the catapults of the Kwantung coalition seemed to be fierce, but in fact, the stones used as bullets were quite scarce, and when the last stone was exhausted, the offensive of the coalition army finally slowed down.
Liu Wei looked solemnly at the Tiger Prison that had just been bombed by catapults, although the entire wall was dusty and full of potholes, but it did not damage the overall situation, and his heart couldn't help but be full of respect for the craftsmen of this era, there was no reinforced concrete in this era, and in order to build a solid city wall, the craftsmen could be said to have worked hard.
Different from film and television dramas, in this era, whether it is a city wall or a closed wall, it is not cast with bricks and stones, but glutinous rice juice, white silt, sand and hydrated lime mixed together and rammed.
And there is also a horse road built in the city wall, which is for the city defenders and civilians to quickly climb the city wall, there is even a kind of war horse city in the frontier town, the city wall is only built outside, but in the city does not do the wall but does the inclined soil slope, so that on the one hand, the city bricks can be saved, on the other hand, the frontier wars are frequent, which is conducive to the defenders can board the city head from anywhere, without using the local horse road.
Although the Tiger Prison Pass is not an important town on the frontier, it is the gateway to Luoyang, which is built according to the War Horse City when it is cast, and after the bombardment by catapults, the casualties of the Xiliang soldiers are not serious.
"Zilong, the catapult doesn't work, the alliance leader will definitely send a force to attack the city, you must remember to be careful, if you encounter Lu Bu, you must not resist it." Liu Wei whispered to Zhao Yun, Lu Bu's fierceness is definitely not something that the current Zhao Yun can resist, he is really afraid that Zhao Yun's brain will be hot and he will fight hard.
Zhao Yun bowed his head lightly and said in a solemn voice: "The last general remembers." ”
However, to Liu Wei's surprise in the next moment, the gate of the Tiger Prison Gate suddenly opened, and the sound of iron hooves of landslides and cracks suddenly sounded between heaven and earth, and the earth trembled, and an iron-blooded cavalry surged out.
The first person, wearing silver armor and dragon scales, with a purple and gold crown and a pheasant tail on his head, holding a halberd drawn by the sky, the dragon horse jumped into the wind, and he was the unparalleled Lu Bulu Fengxian who beheaded dozens of fierce generals of the Kwantung Coalition Army.
More than 10,000 iron horses flew like horses, closely following behind Lu Bu, obviously there were only more than 10,000 people, but the murderous aura condensed by them was like a million, and it was also like a million fierce hungry wolves, opening their bloody mouths, revealing their terrifying fangs, roaring, desperate and swooping towards their prey!
"Jiuyuan Lu Bu is here, who dares to fight?" During the gallop, Lu Bu had a cruel smile on his face, and the sound of a long howl in the sky faintly overshadowed the sound of iron hooves and reached the ears of the coalition forces.
Liu Wei's expression was cold, Lu Bu really deserved to be the number one fierce general in the world, the Kwantung Coalition Army, which was originally full of morale, suddenly showed a look of fear, and Lu Bu once again suppressed the momentum of millions of people with his own strength.
"When two armies fight, how can they be brave!" Alliance leader Yuan Shaoyao pointed at Lu Bu and said sharply: "Attack!" ”
The most elite equipment in the Kwantung coalition army is under the command of Chen Wang Liu Chong, since he beheaded his brother-in-law because of Sun Jian's lack of food, he has been silent, like a transparent person among the princes of all walks of life, but at this time of crisis, even if he is unwilling to send troops, but the alliance leader Yuan Shao has a word first, and he can't help it.
Then he waved his hand at the subordinate general Chen Ang, and the steel gun in Chen Ang's hand fell fiercely in an instant.
"Boom!"
A full 30,000 hoplites stopped at a distance of five hundred steps from Lu Bu's cavalry, and then slammed the big shield in their hands to the ground, and a loud sound like a landslide suddenly broke out between the heavens and the earth.
