Chapter 73 - In the Name of False Settlement
In a short period of time, the attack and defense of Tiger Prison Pass fell into a stalemate stage. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
While the Allies mobilized food and grass from the rear, a large number of siege equipment also had to be slowly transported from the rear. Moreover, it was necessary to levy troops from the rear to supplement the consumption of the princes from all walks of life.
Of course, Hua Xiong of Tiger Prison Pass was not arrogant, and was really ready to argue with the princes of the Eighteenth Road with less than 30,000 horses.
After all, no matter how strong the Tiger Prison Pass is, the allied army has more than 300,000 people, and they can take turns attacking the city every day. Over time, although the allied forces will be attritional, the Xiliang army defending the city will also be attritional.
The allied army has more than 300,000 troops, which can naturally withstand consumption, but the Xiliang army on the Tiger Prison Pass has less than 30,000 people, which will not be consumed for a long time.
Therefore, after Hua Xiong retreated to the Tiger Prison Pass, he sent 800 miles to Luoyang to urgently ask for help.
Luoyang is only two hundred miles away from the Tiger Prison Pass, and the urgent messenger can reach it that night, and the Xiliang army is all iron cavalry, and it only takes two days at most for the reinforcements to reach the Tiger Prison Pass.
Of course, the premise is that after receiving the request for help, Demon King Dong sent reinforcements in time.
Now, the allies are not in a hurry to tackle the storm, and the Xiliang army guarding the pass is also happy to wait. In the eyes of the Xiliang Army, as long as it drags on for a few days, as soon as the reinforcements arrive, it will be the time for them to teach the allies to be people.
However, the Allies are not in a hurry to tackle the storm, but they will not rest like that.
Every day, there will be a road of princes, driving soldiers and horses under the city pass, shouting and challenging.
If he can scold the generals of the Xiliang Army who are guarding the city, especially Hua Xiong, the leader of the Yuan League will definitely prepare a big gift for him.
The military generals of the princes of each department, according to the requirements of the Yuan League Lord, were all left behind, and those who were sent out to clean up the rear were only those military generals who were attached to the princes.
Therefore, Yuan Mengzhu temporarily formed a super military general lineup, ready to fight Hua Xiong.
Level 14, Guan Yu with [Heavenly Sword Slash]; Huang Zhong, who has recovered almost completely; Xu Yu, who also has [Heavenly Sword Slash], as well as Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, and Zhao Zilong, who is said to be very awesome.
There are these five generals on call at any time, not to mention just one Huaxiong, even if Lu Feng came before, Yuan Mengzhu is also confident to try Lu Bu's depth.
……
Junyi County of Songsd Linchenliu County is connected to Luoyang in the west, the Yellow River in the north, and the Funiu Mountains in the south. The Songshan Mountain in later generations is very famous, but the Songshan Mountain at this time is just a larger mountain.
Tiger Pass, in terms of real geographical location, is built on the remnants of Songshan Mountain, holding the passage from the Central Plains to Luoyang, the capital division.
In the midst of spring, from the Tiger Prison to the more than 100 miles of mountains and wilderness in Sour Zao City, the figures of the allied generals are everywhere.
Especially in this section of the Songshan remnants, because when many generals of the Xiliang Army fled, they fled into the Songshan remnants, and these generals sent by the allies searched for the focus of the eradication, which is this section of the Songshan remnants.
If these fleeing Xiliang generals are left unchecked, they will soon become local tumors.
After every war, there are not too many traders who are close to the mountains and rivers and do "this road is my way".
If only that's it.
The problem is that the Allied forces and the Xiliang Army are holding each other at the Tiger Pass, and these generals of the Western Liang Army who have fled into the remnants of Songshan are likely to attack the rear of the Allied forces.
This point, as long as the allies are not fools, they have to guard against it.
……
"Haha, I didn't expect those Xiliang Army prisoners to be so valuable." On a mountain road, Dian Wei is still immersed in yesterday's harvest.
"Yes, each of us can get more than 3,000 gold, which is much better than exterminating an ordinary monster." Li Chou continued.
"The point is, we're still safe."
That night, Hao Meng and the others collected nearly 600 prisoners of the Xiliang Army, and there were dozens of ownerless war horses captured.
A prisoner of the Xiliang army, with men and horses, Cao Cao gave a price of fifty gold; The war horse was given only ten gold. Among the many princes, this price was the best choice.
Since the advent of military generals, the price of prices in the Han Dynasty has begun to soar.
Grain, salt, iron, cloth, and the like have only multiplied several times; Talents such as horses, weapons and armor, as well as those craftsmen, are sold in gold.
Anyway, for the princes of the world, they are not short of money, but only the reserves of talents and various materials.
Before the alliance of the Kwantung princes, the highest price of a war horse was only hardware, and it was still the best war horse. And a cavalryman is usually not required to be equipped with ten gold.
Now, the princes from all walks of life offer such a high price for the capture of the Xiliang Army, naturally they want their own elite cavalry.
You must know that if a cavalryman wants to become an elite, it is simply impossible without three or five years of training and long-term war horse fighting.
This is why the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, and the White Horse Righteous Servant of Gongsun Zan are recognized as the most advanced cavalry in the world.
Because, they have been fighting on the border for a long time, and they have grown up fighting with Zhuhu since they were children, and no matter how strong these cavalry is, there will be no heavenly reason.
With the nearly six hundred Xiliang Iron Cavalry captured by Hao Meng and them, as long as they can rein in their loyalty, Cao Cao's strength can be improved by one or two grades.
"Okay, isn't it more than 3,000 dollars, and when you meet a monster with strong strength, it's far more than that." Hao Meng said with a smile.
"Isn't it that we have spent all the money in the [Jubaodong Mansion] last year, and there is no income in the cat winter." Jiang Feng responded.
Indeed, as Jiang Feng said, since Guandu's [Jubaodong Mansion], Hao Meng and their money have been spent almost the same.
Coupled with a winter of eating and drinking, such as Dian Wei and them, and occasionally saving the women who have lost their footing, after the beginning of spring, they do not have much money on them.
And this income of more than 3,000 dollars per person is enough for everyone to be chic for a while.
Yes, Hao Meng reminded: "Therefore, we should cheer up and search these mountain ranges well." ”
Chen Feng was a little puzzled: "Clearing those generals of the Xiliang Army is simply not worth the loss. ”
"Kill those generals of the Xiliang Army, we won't get any benefits, and those princes won't give us money to start work."
Hao Meng smiled: "Who said that we want to clear the Xiliang army in the future?" ”
"Our main target is the monsters, gods, and bandits that may appear in the mountains."
"Of course, when we meet the generals of the Xiliang Army, we can also rush to the depths of Songshan Mountain, lest they make trouble for the allies."
"It turned out to be in the name of fake clearance, and it was the reality of suppressing demons and eliminating bandits!" Jiang Feng said with a smile.
