Chapter 62: Escape is also a Technical Job (I)

On the first day of May in the first year of the first year of the first peace, the battle of the city defense of Hugaoguan was started again.

This time it started in the early hours of the morning, but the reason is a little laughable, because in the morning, when a miscellaneous soldier of the coalition army got up to relieve his hands, he somehow passed by the war drum, and somehow let him accidentally beat the war drum.

Is this worth it? Not to mention the coalition side, even the defenders of Tiger Prison Pass immediately took action when they heard the movement, speaking of which, this is also a conditioned reflex developed during this time, generally in addition to the sneak attack that must be covert, the war drums of both sides are the beginning of each other's attack and defense.

The tiger prison closed one figure after another, even if there was still a harazi on the corner of his mouth, he was obviously sleepy-eyed, and he had to cheer up, seeing that the sky was still dark, he only thought that the enemy wanted to sneak attack in the dark, so he was naturally more vigilant, and he didn't even have time to tidy up the armor and wear it, but he was extremely vigilant.

But they didn't know that there was also a big chaos in the coalition camp at this time, and even they didn't react for a while that it was the sound of war drums on their side, and thought that the enemy wanted to take advantage of their rest to come out and sneak attack.

Fortunately, it is probably because the battles since this period of time have somewhat sharpened this complicated army, although the assembly still seems a little complicated - this is also inevitable, after all, the clothing and other aspects are basically not unified, but after the formation, it can be regarded as decent.

At this time, the alliance leader Yuan Shao and the princes were late, and they were even more unprepared than these ordinary soldiers.

The princes could tell that this drum was coming from their own camp, but Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, knew that he had not given the order to attack, so where did this drum come from? In fact, none of them gave this kind of order, so they all thought it was an order from other princes, until they ran here to prove it to a pair, and they didn't know that they were pitted by the soldier brother who should be killed.

However, now is not the time to hold anyone responsible, as soon as the drums of war sounded, the three armies moved together, and today, when it should have been a rest day, a new round of conquest was about to begin, and there was inevitably a lot of commotion and complaints in the army, but after dispatching the order and prohibiting it, the super huge war plane that accommodated 200,000 people began to operate.

"Kill, kill...... the earth-shattering shouts of killing, the thunder of war drums, and the screams and shouts of your attacks are about to pierce the sky, breaking the silence that has been maintained in the middle of the night.

Whether it is the coalition army and Dong Zhuojun, they all tightened a certain string in their minds, their eyes were resolute, their hands were clenched, the tension and excitement were long gone, and the only thing that was full of them was only two mutually exclusive thoughts, attack and defense, or absolutely to capture and absolutely not to allow the enemy to attack.

I have to say that the danger of the Tiger Pass, as well as the tenacity of Dong Zhuojun's defense of the Pass, has been keeping the coalition forces out of the door for so long, except for leaving a corpse every time, there is nothing to be done.

However, after so many days of onslaught, although it has always been difficult for the coalition forces to open an effective attack opening, it can be regarded as a great progress, the flying bridge has not been removed, the moat has long been unhindered, and the oppressive counterattack from the tiger prison that hinders their progress has gradually lost its sharpness; The most important thing is that the defenders of Tiger Prison Pass are gradually becoming tired after a long battle and without a new force to replace them, even if they have enough food, they can't withstand such a long period of grinding, and the mental torture is just that, but the most important thing is that the sense of threat to life is getting stricter and stricter.

You know, since that time, the coalition has focused on the casting and use of siege equipment and tools, such as the reinforcement of ladders, the transformation of siege towers, and of course, the most important thing is the manufacture and improvement of trebuchets.

Especially after the overwhelming superiority in the strike of trebuchets on that day, the coalition forces invested a lot of effort in the research and development of this siege equipment, and finally with the efforts of the excellent, powerful and intelligent craftsmen of the coalition army, new trebuchets such as Li Ru and others wanted to go to the battlefield, these trebuchets were more powerful, and the biggest change was in their flexibility.

Since the appearance of the car in the week, its power and lethality are almost famous, but one of the most criticized places is that it is difficult to dispatch and adjust, and it is not easy to move these big guys, so many times during the war, they generally bring their own materials and craftsmen, and make them directly on the spot, rather than carrying them as a burden. …,

However, the coalition forces threw this qiētong guò under the wheel to make it a veritable "car", and at the same time made it more flexible and usable, which is very similar to the thunderbolt in Lu Bu's impression.

Of course, Tiger Prison Pass is also a-for-tat here, as a defensive side, they don't need to think too much about the issue of trebuchet advancement and transfer, but for the range and power of the expansion, Li Ru especially brought those craftsmen who used to serve the royal family are not dry food, clever and skillful; However, now it is incomparable with the coalition army, the coalition army has almost found a weak underbelly and dead spot of the Tiger Prison Army, and it is not so easy for the Tiger Prison Pass to use trebuchets to force back the coalition army's attack like a surging tide.

Soon a battle began like a catastrophe for the defenders of Tiger Prison Pass, and no one could have imagined how terrible it would be to suddenly transform the two rock walls that could give them safety into the same overwhelming force as the two guardians on both sides, and suddenly transformed into a demonic murderer who took people's lives.

The improvement of the allied trebuchet was not in vain, it was more accurate and faster, and the more severe the damage to the two rock walls, the greater the threat to Dong Zhuo's troops when the tiger prison was closed.

On the one hand, we must be on guard against changes on this side at any time, and on the other hand, the coalition army has forced the soldiers who came to the city several times at the cost of a large number of cannon fodder corpses, especially the princes have sent their generals one by one as benchmark leaders, rushing up at least not to be captured immediately, and as long as they hold on for a while, more and more coalition soldiers will go up.

In addition, the improved siege tower is no longer as simple as a simple tower, the height is higher than the Tiger Prison Parapet, and the protection is stronger than before, even if the rocket hits it, it is not so easy to ignite, and I don't know what material is used to protect it.

And the soldiers above even threw spears to this side when they approached a certain distance from the Tiger Prison Pass, or to be precise, they should be called ridge guns and javelins, which were more lethal than bows and arrows, and these people were obviously specially trained, and Lu Bu heard the slogan of "first landing, first landing" from their mouths, which made him can't help but think of his own trapped camp, and can't help but think of the equally famous "first to the dead" in history.

One by one, the soldiers of the Xiliang Army fell under the impact of that burst, and then another soldier stepped forward, but their numbers were not endless, at least compared to the seemingly endless cannon fodder of the coalition army, these Xiliang defenders can be said to be one less when they fell, and it seems that there is a new force behind them, but going down is to drink doves to quench their thirst.
