"The sergeant of that battalion ahead? Why are you still wandering in the middle of the night, don't you know the military order? Wait, Hugh is going to step forward again, and give the password! A group of night patrol sergeants saw a group of figures in front of them, walking quickly towards their side, and hurriedly shouted.

"Don't make a noise, it's me." Li Su was the first to come to the side of the night patrol soldiers.

"It turned out to be Lord Li, and behind it were Lord Li's subordinates, right? Aren't adults supposed to be at the East Gate? How could you bring someone to bring someone to the armory? General Hua stipulated that no one should enter the armory without a general order at night, and asked Master Li not to make it difficult for me to wait. When the night patrol sergeant saw that it was Li Su, he put away his waist knife and stepped forward and whispered.

"Hehe, we are here because General Hua's general order is to carry out an urgent mission, and the general's general order is behind, if you don't believe it, bring your people over to have a look." Li Su beckoned to him and motioned for him to lean over.

Li Su's status in the Tiger Prison Pass is second only to Hua Xiong, and when he heard Li Su say this, the chief of the Shi Dynasty leaned over with a few sergeants next to him suspiciously: "In the middle of the night, what general will General Hua Xiong issue?" Please let us see, Lord Lee! ”

"Do it!" Seeing that Li Su had successfully deceived the night patrol sergeant, Cao Ren took advantage of the chief's defenselessness and directly slashed at the chief's heavenly spirit cover, and the chief only had time to let out a muffled snort, and a stream of heroic souls had already entered the six realms of reincarnation.

"Kill!!" Cao Ren gave an order, and tens of thousands of Cao Jun behind him immediately pulled out their waist knives, raised their spears, and covered the armory not far away.

"Woo~~~~"

After discovering the enemy's situation, the more than 3,000 soldiers of the Bingzhou Army, who were responsible for guarding the armory, sounded the warning horn and took advantage of the slightly narrow terrain of the armory to resist Cao Ren's army.

"What's the warning? Why is there a shout of killing everywhere? What the hell is going on? Hua Xiong hurriedly put on his armor and asked his own guards by the way.

"General, the sound of the horn is coming from the armory, and the fighting in various places is because of the influx of Cao troops at the east gate, and the brothers are fighting hard against them. The horse villain has already helped the general bring it over, and please ask the general to quickly get on the horse and command us to meet the enemy! Hua Xiong's personal guard led Hua Xiong's war horse and replied loudly.

"Cao Jun? The East Gate has fallen? How did Li Su defend the city? Fast! Come with me to the front army support!! Hua Xiong lifted the embroidered spring knife on the side, grabbed the reins handed over by the guards, turned over and got on the horse, and took the lead in running towards the front army who shouted to kill the sky.

"Keep up with the General!" Hundreds of guards were Hua Xiong's old subordinates for more than ten years, and when they saw Hua Xiong rushing out alone, they hurriedly rushed to follow.

Along the way, Hua Xiong saw many defenders of the Tiger Prison Pass, because most of the ordnance was stored in the armory, in the face of the Cao soldiers who came over with knives and guns, most of them could only pick up a heavy object and fight with the Cao army, and the lucky ones could get swords and spears from the dead Cao soldiers, but more people could only be slaughtered by the Cao army with the advantage of weapons.

"Hua Xiong is here to listen to the orders!! Those who have weapons, for the rear of the palace, those without weapons in the center, I and the guard battalion to open the way for the front army, everyone with me to kill to the armory and get weapons and then come to drive these Cao troops out!! Hua Xiong danced the embroidered spring knife in his palm, and killed more than ten Cao soldiers in a row, taking advantage of an empty opportunity, he immediately shouted loudly to shout out the defenders of the Tiger Prison Pass.

Originally, these tiger prison guards had gradually lost to the fierce attack of the Cao army, but as soon as they saw Hua Xiong, the main general of the pass, not only arrived in time but also showed their might, and killed more than a dozen Cao soldiers in a row, the momentum of these defenders rose all of a sudden, and after a burst of cheers, they all followed Hua Xiong's arrangement, and used the sergeants with weapons to the back of the palace, and the rest of the unarmed sergeants followed behind Hua Xiong and Hua Xiong's hundreds of personal guard battalions, all the way to the armory

Dividing line

"Zilian, what are you rubbing? It's been almost half an hour, and you haven't taken down the armory defended by thousands of people? If the major event of seizing the Tiger Prison Pass is delayed, the military law of the eldest brother will not be merciful at that time! Cao Ren saw that the shouting and killing from the armory had not stopped until now, so he personally came to the front line and scolded Cao Hong, who was in charge of capturing the armory.

Cao Hong wiped the blood on his face, panting and smiling bitterly: "The outer wall of this armory is made of rocks and loess, I have people try to use wooden stakes to break through the outer wall of the armory, but half a day of wasted time can't shake this outer wall at all." And its only entrance is too narrow to accommodate a large number of sergeants, and our numerical advantage cannot be used at all, but let the defenders in the warehouse take advantage of the terrain to kill more than a thousand people with strong bows and crossbows, and now I have no way to take this turtle shell in a short time. ”

Cao Ren personally went to the entrance of the armory to take a look, and found that this pass was indeed as Cao Hong said, not only the terrain is narrow but also very long, most of the corpses of the Cao army in the passage are set up as hedgehogs, even if some Cao soldiers use shields to protect, but in just a distance of more than a hundred steps, the crossbow arrows are enough to pierce those wooden shields and even shoot through the sergeants behind the shields! (Not every prince is equipped with a fine iron shield in the camp.) "Zilian, equipped with fire oil and hay, since there is only one exit to this armory, and everywhere is made of rocks and loess is impermeable, and there is a roof to protect from rainwater, once it is attacked with fire, the effect is bound to be twice the result with half the effort!" Cao Ren smiled ruthlessly.

"That's right! I was just thinking about how to storm this armory with a sergeant, but I forgot to attack it with fire! Hehe, brother is here for a while, and I'll go and get some hay and oil. Cao Hong patted the back of his head and ran away with a happy face.

Cao Ren shook his head and thought to himself, "Zilian's surname is impatient but lacks resourcefulness, it seems that the eldest brother will not let him lead the army alone." Hey, I think my Cao Zixiao is also much better than that Xiahou Yuanrang, why is my younger brother not as good as that Xia Miaocai? ’

Inside the armory.

"Ahem, ahem!"

"Ahem, damn it! Cao's army attacked with fire! Captain Leng, what should we do? A sergeant of the state army looked at the commander of the army of the state, Leng Yan.

Leng Yan was one of the commanders of Lu Bu's personal guards, and he was originally out of touch with the Tiger Prison Pass. However, since Dian Wei joined Lu Bu's command, Lu Bu valued Dian Wei's experienced infantry combat ability, and transferred 3,000 sergeants from the pro-guard army to train a new type of troops. Leng Yan was sent to the Tiger Prison Pass by Lu Bu at that time, one task was to cooperate with those Xiliang troops to guard the Tiger Pass, and the other task was for Lu Bu to secretly let Leng Yan monitor the Xiliang Army that had just surrendered, in case these debauched Xiliang Army did anything to disturb the people.

How do you expect it now?
