Chapter 185: The Conspiracy on the Tiger Prison
A quarter of an hour later, there was no sound around, and Pound seemed to have doubts in his heart, but he couldn't think of the root cause for a while, so he could only shake his head secretly, and continued to squint his eyes slightly and close his eyes to recuperate.
The soldiers are coming to block, the water is coming to cover the earth, there are still 100,000 troops in the pass, who can attack it?
Half an hour later, the drums of war sounded abruptly again.
The dull sound of drums came from afar, and the irritating sound of drums made the soldiers on the wall startled again, and one by one they cheered up, looking vigilantly at the area under the wall where the fire could not be illuminated.
After the drums of war were beaten, it continued for another quarter of an hour or so, and then stopped again.
And so on and so forth, and every other hour, the drums of war would sound on time.
The intermittent drumming in the middle of the night almost made the soldiers on the gate gradually unresponsive.
It was Pound who gradually lost his vigilance.
"You're bothering me, I'm pretending not to hear and just go back to sleep......"
In the conference hall of the Guannei, Li Wei propped his hands on the desk, stretched out his right middle finger and gently tapped the desk, with a contemplative look in his eyes.
"Lao Guo...... Isn't it a bit unauthentic for us to do this......" Li Dao is already a general on Liu Yan's side, and he can be regarded as a high-ranking and powerful person.
"Lao Li...... We don't talk darkly, he Liu Yan just treats us as a knife, the only thing we can do is except for the soldiers under our command, there is nothing else, if the Yizhou army is strong, what good will it do you? Guo Yan's chest was straightened, and his tone was full of hideousness.
"You don't let Pound's kid save people, don't you also have this idea?"
"Our corporates are elite, what is lacking is a fierce general, that old guy and Zhang Ren are both threats! Naturally, we want to get rid of it! Li Wei's eyes were a little gloomy.
"But shouldn't these Yizhou soldiers be well co-opted and fleshed out? We can't command the generals, we don't need them, but the soldiers can always be recruited, right? Lao Guo, why did you arrange the Yizhou Army to the front line? Isn't the threat of Ma Teng and Han Sui greater for us? ”
"I said Lao Li...... Are you an idiot when Ma Teng Han Sui? They are in Xiliang, even if we take advantage of him, what can we do? If you can't hurt the foundation, you will be hated by them, this kind of thing is thankless, and a fool will do it! Guo Yan preached with a Taoist speech.
"We are the same as Ma Teng Han Sui and them, the reason why we can show off our strength in front of Liu Yan now is by fists, only by weakening Liu Yan's strength as much as possible, can we continue to hold power!"
"Yo...... Lao Guo, I can't imagine that you, a ghost who is afraid of death, are also very shrewd! Li Wei scolded with a smile and punched Guo Yan, but his eyes were shining.
"Then we can't always stay here, we have to have a little bit of performance in defending the Tiger Prison!" Li Dao laughed a few more words with Guo Yan, his face turned pale, and he got down to business.
"If what the surnamed Qiao said is true, this time is about the same!" Guo Yan looked at the sky, it was already more than half of the fourth watch, and in another half an hour, I was afraid that the sky would be bright.
……
"General Li, General Guo, why are you here?"
Pound looked puzzled, the war drums have sounded so many times, most of them are just harassment, how did these two bigwigs come out together?
"Ling Ming, give the order, everyone get ready, the enemy is going to attack the city." Li Wei said to Pound with a smile.
"Enemy siege?" Pound was stunned, do you think the enemy attack is child's play? I'm afraid it wasn't calculated by the witches in your military tent, right?
Almost everyone knows about Li Dao's belief in witches, and when Pang De heard Li Dao's words of affirmation, he couldn't help but think about it.
However, it seems that it was the witch's prophecy that came true.
Just as Li Wei's words fell, the sound of Xi Xisuo came from under the wall, and at the same time, the ladders were carried by several people, and gradually appeared within the range of the fire energy on the wall.
"Lao Li, you crow's mouth!" Guo Yan secretly scolded Li Dao. I already want to get off the gate early.
"Ling Ming, don't gather people yet! Speed up and prepare! ”
Li Dao let out a loud shout, waking up the stunned Pound, and several soldiers who were immersed in a dream around him also woke up and began to call one after another.
At this time, Lu Bu and Cao Cao's soldiers had already begun to climb the ladder one after another, rushing towards the top of the wall.
Under the city tower, dozens of soldiers pushed the cart and crashed into the gate of the Tiger Prison.
Unfortunately, the door seemed to have been closed with gravel at night, and it had been blocked from the inside, and the huge ram of the rushing car hit it except for a loud noise, and nothing was done.
Seeing that Lu Bu and the others had started the siege, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Finally came, during the day, Li Dao received a handwritten letter from the Kwantung Coalition Army, saying that Lu Bu and Cao Cao would forcibly tackle the key problems tonight, and now it has come true.
Li Wei recalled what Guo Yan said, and secretly excited in his heart, tonight can not only teach the arrogant Lu Bu a lesson, but also make Liu Yan's soldiers suffer a lot of losses, it can really be described as killing two birds with one stone, so unhappy.
With the order of Pound Li Dao and Pound De, the personnel on the wall suddenly moved in an orderly manner. A pound may not be able to suppress the scene, but with the addition of a Li Dao, then no lieutenant general dares to ignore military discipline anymore.
After all, Li Wei's official position is a general, and he is the commander of the Xiliang army, and he is decisive in killing, if anyone accidentally hits the muzzle of the gun, even if it is Liu Yan's cronies, it will inevitably die.
Barrels of boiling oil, angular stones, and piles of huge sasswood were exposed in an instant, apparently pre-arranged.
Oil, rolling stones, sassal wood...... For a while, it smashed like rain, and the casualties of the siege personnel increased dramatically.
But as if they were not afraid of death, they climbed up the ladder.
At this moment, Pound was holding a big knife and running on the wall.
The enemy's reckless approach to death under the wall made him realize that this might be the moment of the real decisive battle.
The ladder carried by the state army was specially made with hooks and sickles, and once it was close to the wall, it would cling to the wall stacks, and there was almost no way to push it away.
Only fire oil and other materials can pose a threat to the soldiers who climb the wall.
If you attack a small city, or suddenly attack an unsuspecting Xiongguan, it can be regarded as a sharp weapon.
But it seemed useless in front of the Tiger Prison, and the fire oil on the Tiger Prison was poured bucket after bucket, seemingly endless, and every time the ladder was erected, the fire oil would follow.
The number of archers on the wall was obviously also very large, and in the night, they still shot round after round of arrows regardless of losses.
"How many people were hurt?" Lu Bu crawled in a bush under the Tiger Prison and asked Cao Cao, who was pacing back and forth.
"There should be hundreds of people...... Cao Cao said with a bitter face.
"Mingjin retreats!" Lu Bu said with some sadness
