"Kill! Rush ah......"

The earth-shattering cry shattered the silence of the last moment before dawn and opened the prelude to a new day and the beginning of another battle.

In May of the first year of the first peace, it kicked off in a golden iron horse, outside the Tiger Prison Pass, the 200,000 troops of the coalition army almost poured out, lined up on the plain in front of the Tiger Prison Pass, just the formation of the crowd of people is terrifying, and looking down from the top of the Tiger Prison Pass, it seems that you can intuitively feel the strong visual impact from the drums and shouts that are closely connected below, and the sound of the sky is more straight into the sky.

Since the first battle of that day, these days, the two armies have launched a protracted confrontation and a variety of tug-of-wars, among which, Dong Zhuo's army and the coalition army can be said to have done everything to each other, the coalition army's method of dealing with Dong Zhuo's defenders in the tiger prison has been routinely and unconventionally tried almost everything, digging tunnels, cutting off water sources, setting fires, using rooms, disturbing people's hearts, blocking news, etc., naturally all of them are aimed at breaking the city, some of them have worked, and some have not been effective in the end for various reasons, But even if it was effective, it was not able to achieve the final success because it was recognized by Dong Zhuojun.

For example, a coalition army tried to dig a tunnel through guò into the Tiger Prison Pass, ready to take the opportunity to sneak into a team of men and horses to enter and then raid and join forces with the coalition army outside, and take the Tiger Prison Pass in one fell swoop, after various measurements, the plan was completed and all began to be implemented, and the beginning of the implementation was also very smooth, but when everyone happily waited until they finally dug into the tunnel in the Tiger Prison Pass and successfully sent a team of men and horses to sneak into the tunnel, they found that this tunnel had already been discovered by the enemy. The tunnel was filled with a large amount of water, and it was impossible to make a passage at all, and the men and horses who sneaked in never came back, and the fate can be imagined.

That team came from the Shangdang Taishou Zhang Yang's men, and in the previous siege battle, because most of his subordinates were cavalry, he took the initiative to ask Ying to take over this task, but he didn't expect that not only did he not complete it, but he also lost his own forces, which can be said to be regretful.

And Dong Zhuo's army to deal with the coalition army, mainly using the strategy of harassment, if you want to attack on a large scale, you will get rid of the benefits of the tiger prison pass, even if the Liang army in the west is brave, it will not dare to collide with the huge base of the coalition army that has not yet been greatly injured, and can only use some tactics to harass and exhaust the enemy, in order to be able to break the coalition army's will to fight, although they are numerous, this little fight is almost like being bitten by a mosquito, it seems that it will not be taken to heart, but you must know the disadvantages of having more people and more people, Not to mention that their military orders are often unable to achieve unified command and command, even if there are differences in understanding between them, it is also easy to achieve a typical example of false rumors and groundless rumors, and this is how rumors are refined.

As long as they are constantly harassed, as long as they cause panic in the hearts of some of the sergeants, and then do some means to secretly push them, it is not impossible to slowly expand their influence and even spread to the whole army, so that an invisible panic spreads, so that their morale will completely fall to a low point and they will never be able to get up again.

However, in the end, Dong Zhuojun, or to be more precise, Li Ru's ideas did not come true, although it is regrettable but expected, but it is not surprising.

After all, Dong Zhuojun has Li Ru in charge, and the coalition army naturally has a comparable strategist, although I don't know who it is, but judging from the corresponding various actions of the coalition army, it is by no means simple.

Dong Zhuojun knows how to use the strategy of exhausting the enemy, which is to seize the mentality of the coalition army and urgently need a victory to stabilize the dìng, but because he is too impatient, he will inevitably be suspicious, but why doesn't Dong Zhuojun have this kind of mentality? Moreover, Dong Zhuojun obviously needs an urgent battlefield victory more than the coalition army, rather than being able to passively defend and even counterattack now.

In this battle, although the coalition forces have never bargained much, Dong Zhuojun has always been at a disadvantage, the impact on morale is self-evident, like Lu Bu's encouragement can no longer be, Cao Di's poles of debate These old fritters on the battlefield even if they can't say it well, they all understand.

And the most surprising thing for the Tiger Prison defenders is that the coalition army actually has the learning ability and creativity, in Lu Bu's view, it is simply a fight with a certain two countries in later generations, in the first battle under the hands of the Tiger Prison army after suffering the loss of the trebuchet, the coalition army obviously took it to heart, and then urgently mobilized resources and made it independently. …,

After all, the trebuchet is not a confidential ordnance, and the more senior warcraftsmen are basically involved, and since the coalition army is ready to attack the city, how can they not bring enough materials and craftsmen to make siege ordnance, the talents under their hands are not less than Dong Zhuojun, and Dong Zhuo does not rely on him to occupy Luoyang and control the craftsmen from the royal official, which is completely incomparable with them.

Then one day, when the defenders of the Tiger Prison once again wanted to rely on the power of the trebuchet to give the coalition siege army a heavy blow within three hundred meters, they were stunned to find that their methods were equally effective, but they had already been mastered by the enemy, and when the first roaring boulder was thrown to the Tiger Prison by the coalition army's stone throwers, and hit a few small soldiers, everyone was not even able to react immediately, until Lu Bu suddenly shouted, "Be careful that the enemy army also has trebuchets", which made them wake up one after another, Then there was a moment of panic.

When you have it and others don't, it's called an advantage, but when others also have this kind of thing, it's no longer unique, and the mood gap can be imagined, although the allied army's trebuchet is also limited because of the quasi-first-class relationship, and because of the unique terrain where the Tiger Prison Pass is located, there is some natural cover, and the Dong Zhuojun soldiers above are more scattered, so the blow is much smaller than that of the coalition army, but the psychological impact is enough to shake the hearts of some soldiers.

In addition to trebuchets, the other siege weapons of the coalition army are very complete, some are owned by themselves, and some are completely obtained from Xingyang City, which inevitably makes many people complain about the dead Yang Feng.

However, no matter what, people are dead, no matter how much you blame, it will only make the mood worse, but I have to say that the more time drags on, it is also very unfavorable for Dong Zhuojun, the coalition forces have a huge advantage from beginning to end, and it is the one who takes the initiative; And Dong Zhuojun can only passively defend and even be beaten, such grievances believe that a bloody man will not be able to stand it, not to mention that the Tiger Prison defenders are mainly based on the Xiliang Army, supplemented by the state army, in addition to some foreign soldiers, such as the Qiang soldiers, they are belligerent and flamboyant, and most of the previous battles are free and arbitrary galloping on the plains, and that kind of battle is just what they want, rather than only defending and not attacking like a turtle with a shrunken head now.

However, at present, the number of defenders of Tiger Prison Pass is limited, and it is really not a good time to fight with the coalition army, Li Ru can only wait, suppress the restlessness of the soldiers under his command, and rely on the danger of Tiger Prison Pass to delay enough time to let his plans take shape one by one, and finally get the effect he wants.

However, soon the defenders of the Tiger Prison and Li Ru soon sadly discovered that the so-called danger of the Tiger Prison was actually only relative, and they didn't know when their advantageous terrain seemed to have become the source of danger.

At first, the coalition forces did not know which trebuchet accidentally smashed into the rock next to the Tiger Prison Pass, knocking out some stone chips and a large number of small stones to splash, but this accident was immediately discovered by the coalition forces, and in order to verify that they deliberately aimed at a new target with little certainty - not the defenders of the Tiger Prison Pass but the rock walls on both sides.
