Chapter 35: The Battle of the Tiger Prison

"Woo~Woo~Woo~"

Early in the morning, Liu Xie was woken up by the melodious sound of the horn.

"What happened?" Rubbing his head, Liu Xie got down from the bed and said to the door while dressing.

"Your Majesty, the big thing is not good, the coalition forces have begun to attack the city!" Wei Zhong rushed in with a flustered expression.

"Calm down, it's just a siege, not a breakdown, if the coalition forces don't attack the city, what are we doing here?" Liu Xie smacked his lips and shouted outside the door: "Bring armor for me!" ”

"Whoa!"

Two accompanying tiger guards came in and helped Liu Xie put on a black armor, this black armor was tailor-made for Liu Xie by the Ministry of Industry, and the whole body was built with fine iron, just the weight, there were hundreds of catties, if it weren't for Liu Xie's daily diligent practice of martial arts and hard work, just this set of armor would have crushed him to death.

It took a quarter of an hour for Liu Xie to put on his armor, and Xu Chu was already waiting outside the door with the tiger guard, escorting Liu Xie in the direction of the city tower.

When Liu Xie went up to the city tower, the war had already begun, outside the female wall, the coalition army charged towards the Tiger Prison Pass like a black oppressive tide, and dense clusters of arrows continued to fly towards the city wall, and the tiger guards on both sides held shields to help Liu Xie cover them.

Liu Xie found Jia Xu, who was commanding the soldiers to defend against the enemy on the city tower, and Ma Chao, who was protecting him.

"These coalition forces are crazy, they don't have any temptation at all, and they start attacking the city directly!" Ma Chao gasped fiercely and scolded.

Liu Xie took the clairvoyant mirror in his hand and looked at the princes' camp, at the rear of the camp, the princes of all parties had gathered together, looking at the battle formation from afar, the coalition soldiers under the city tower were surging towards the city tower like an ant tide, looking at the number, it was by no means one or two thousand, outside the tiger prison pass, the places where people could be released were already full of people.

"Your Majesty, looking at the formation of the coalition army, it seems that it will break through the tiger prison at all costs." Jia Xu came to Liu Xie's side and frowned.

Generally, the two armies clash, there is always a process of temptation, such as this siege war, the opponent will generally test the defense of the city first, and then determine the strategy, in that way, develop the most effective strategy, choose the focus of the attack, not only can improve the siege efficiency, but also to avoid excessive casualties on their own side to the greatest extent, but this time, the coalition army does not seem to have this meaning, as soon as it comes up, it is an all-round attack without dead ends, as the commander of an army, this method is undoubtedly an unwise move, and the performance of being irresponsible to the soldiers under his command, But I have to say that now that the coalition forces have a lot of troops and a lot of food, fighting like this can also give full play to the advantage of numbers to a certain extent.

Do you have a lot of family members, but in any case, the other party will not take human life seriously, even if it is Jia Xu, he is a little uncomfortable.

"Not strange." Liu Xie handed the clairvoyant mirror to Ma Chao on the side, shook his head, and sneered: "I'm afraid that my matter in the Tiger Prison Pass has been known by the coalition forces." ”

"How is this possible!?" Ma Chao looked at Liu Xie incredulously when he heard this, now that the land of Heluo, the major checkpoints have been completely blocked, even if the coalition forces have a detailed work here, how to deliver the news?

"Nothing is impossible, now in the court, it is not impossible to want my life." Liu Xie sneered.

"Who is so bold!?" When Ma Chao heard this, he couldn't help but be furious, they were born and died here, but someone secretly stabbed them in the back, this feeling is quite bad!

"Nothing is impossible!" Liu Xie shook his head: "Generals, get ready, this time, the coalition army is afraid that it will not be so easy to deal with." ”

Jia Xu is not surprised, and now only this statement can be explained, he has not returned to the DPRK for several months, and he does not know much about the affairs of the DPRK and China, but there are many people in the DPRK who oppose Liu Xie's new policy, and this time the princes joined forces, which was caused by Liu Xie's new policy, so to speak, it is an outbreak of contradictions.

"Do you want to activate the new weapon right away?" Jia Xu glanced at the tide of coalition forces and looked at Liu Xiedao, this is a good opportunity, the crowd is so dense, once these new weapons are powerful, they will definitely be able to catch the coalition forces by surprise.

"No hurry!" Liu Xie shook his head and said with a smile: "At this time, it is only to repel the coalition army, if the coalition army finds that the Tiger Prison Pass is not attackable, they will definitely divide their troops to attack other places, I will wait for them to win, and then give them a head-on blow to break their morale!" Liu Xie shook his head when he heard this, looked at Ma Chao on the side and said: "Now there are 30,000 soldiers and horses in this pass, and there is the danger of the tiger prison pass, the longer the generals hold out, the greater the advantage of our army. ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured!" Ma Chao slapped his chest fiercely: "You can't use new weapons at all, and the last general will definitely be able to repel the coalition forces!" ”

"That's what you want!" Liu Xie patted Ma Chao's shoulder and smiled: "I'll wait and see!" ”

The city wall of the Tiger Prison Pass is as high as seven zhang, the previous cloud ladder is difficult to play a role, before, the princes have been rushing to make a new siege ladder, but I don't know if it is for beauty, the city wall of the Tiger Prison Pass, there is a slope, the cloud ladder can be directly attached to the city wall, so that the siege soldiers climb up more easily, at the beginning, the general in charge of the siege also laughed at the new Tiger Prison Pass, it became flashy.

But after the battle began, these generals looked at the archers at the head of the city poking their heads out and shooting at the people on the ladder, and their faces became ugly, this is a pit at all!

Not only can the shooter shoot at the soldiers on the siege ladder from the female wall, but the rolling wood and stone rolling down from the top will not fall directly under the city after hitting people as before, because there is a certain slope, the rolling wood and stone can catch the city wall for a while, and the result is that the casualties are three times higher than before!

The mind of the designer of this tiger prison is very sinister!

"Get on the catapult!" Xiahou Yuan, who was in charge of the command, looked at the soldiers who kept falling from the city wall like dumplings, resentment in his heart, waving the command flag, the catapult in the rear was slowly pushed up, although the moat was leveled, but until now, the drawbridge has not been knocked down by them, and the control of the drawbridge is not a rope, but an iron chain, which makes this group of siege generals have a feeling of beeping dogs, if the drawbridge does not come down, there is no way to bombard the city gate, there is no way to attack the city gate, only rely on the siege ladder to attack the city now, it is simply to add human lives to it, The kind of city wall with a certain slope seems to be easy to deal with, but in fact, it has increased the difficulty of the siege several times, until now, there are few soldiers who rushed to the city wall, and there are countless casualties on their own side, but the other party has few casualties.

"Crunch~"

With the piercing sound of the machine, fifty catapults were slowly pushed to the front line, accompanied by an unpleasant sound of wood rubbing, dozens of stone bullets with the roar of the catapults, separated by a distance of more than one hundred and twenty paces, with a terrible roar, towards the head of the city.

"Boom~Boom~Boom~Boom~" In the huge impact sound, many stone bullets fell directly on the city wall, and the soldiers who couldn't dodge were smashed into a blur of flesh and blood.

A stone bullet that broke through the air, coincidentally, flew in the direction of Liu Xie, Liu Xie's eyes were fixed, he stretched out his hand to hold the sword, but he saw that it was dark in front of him, Xu Chu's tower-like figure had already blocked in front of him, looked up at the stone bullet falling from the sky, and suddenly let out a loud shout, holding an iron hammer in his hand, and blasted at the stone bullet.

"Boom~"

The stone bullets were shattered, turned into countless gravel and were picked up by Xu Chu with a hammer to the outside of the city wall, and many Cao soldiers suffered an unwarranted disaster, and the people who were beaten by the gravel falling from the sky turned over on their backs.

"Good!" Liu Xie's eyes lit up, and he laughed: "Our army has a brave general like Zhong Kang, I don't have to worry about it!" ”

Because of Xu Chu's violent blow, the morale of the defenders did not plummet because of this, but if the opponent's trebuchet came for a few more rounds, the morale would inevitably be turbulent.

Ma Chao kicked down a Cao Jun who had just climbed the city wall and wanted to pounce on him, and scolded angrily: "Where is our trebuchet? Fight back for me! ”

On the other side, seeing this, Gao Shun snorted coldly and ordered: "Trebuchet, fight back!" ”

With Ma Chao's order, in the back of the city wall, one hundred and twenty trebuchets were fixed by the soldiers, the tiger prison wall is already wide, Gao Shun sat in the tiger prison pass, in addition to raising the height of the city wall, but also widened the width of the city wall to twenty zhang, can accommodate more defenders At the same time, also asked the Ministry of Engineering personnel to make one hundred and twenty trebuchets here, directly made on the city wall, there is no need to transport from the city to the top.

"Boom Boom Boom~"

In the roaring sound of breaking the air, hundreds of stone bullets broke out of the air, just sent a round of stone bullets, looking at the enemy army was suppressed Xiahou Yuan and others, before they had time to be happy, they were stunned to find that hundreds of stone bullets fell from the sky.

"Boom Boom Boom~"

Even if it is a solid shield, in the face of this stone bullet falling from the sky, it is no different from having no defense, but in an instant, a series of screams were emitted near the entire catapult, the crowd was too dense, these 120 stone bullets swept away nearly 200 lives, and more importantly, the two catapults were hit by stone bullets and became a pile of abandoned wood.

"This ......" Xiahou Yuan could only stare dryly, this is too bullying, how did so many trebuchets be put on the city wall?

What's more, the people are condescending, and the range is much farther than theirs, Cao Jun's catapult can only bombard the city wall, while the opponent's catapult is condescending, and the coverage area is much farther than theirs.

And they can't see each other's catapults at all, this is the gap!

"Well! What about wells? Don't give it to me yet! Cao Hong roared a little angrily.

The fifteen wells that have been prepared have long been began to move slowly towards the city wall, although they are only five zhang high, but they have been able to shorten the gap between the two sides, I only hope that these wells can play some role, otherwise the Cao army will attack the city today, and it will be a big loss of face.
