Chapter 210: The goose plucks its feathers

The towering city tower stands proudly on the earth, as if it is always the unclimbable peak, the ladder has long been stained red by blood, it looks like it is cast by blood at the same time, the mottled city wall has gone through the vicissitudes of the years, witnessing the war again and again has long been a thing, the warriors of the past have long disappeared, only this has gone through the baptism of war Xiongguan is still upright, the figure on the city tower is shaking, the soldiers are methodically carrying out routine actions, pulling the string and then aiming at the target, firing feather arrows, is a few simple actions, But it's deadly.

As the sun fell, the earth looked even darker, the city gate was full of large stones, the tattered ram had already been smashed, leaving the ground full of wolves and bright red bloodstains, the tall city gate was unscathed, and the ground full of arrows made people shudder, this was Mungo's blow to the ram troops, the dense rain of arrows made no one spared, but the shouts of killing continued.

The phalanx of the coalition army has been reduced by several times, compared to when the attack was just started, the faces of the remaining people are full of horror, no one can calmly deal with the rain of arrows in the sky, the numb hands and feet make it almost difficult for them to move, it seems that they instinctively refuse to step forward, the tragic siege is almost dead and alive, who is willing to die in vain.

Several times the coalition forces rushed to the city wall, but the enemy did not even have the slightest panic, the strong crossbowmen still methodically swept the ladder in the back row, and the spearmen and sword and shield men who had been waiting for a long time to start the siege, this trick was learned from the coalition army, but the range was much smaller, almost jumped one and died, the undead basically surrendered, the follow-up was weak, and the people who rushed up were quickly eliminated, and they could not cause too many casualties to the coalition forces at all.

From the beginning to the end, Meng Ge didn't take a step, seeing that the sun was about to set, Meng Ge said slowly: "Go and see, how the things are prepared by Jia Senjun's side, by the way, it's almost time, if you don't come again, the big fish will run away, then we won't have fish to eat!" ”

"No!" The soldier behind Mongo arched his hand, agreed, and immediately ran down.

Of course, the big fish is these ladders, and now I can't see the threat of ladders, but once the enemy puts things like ladders all over Hangu Pass, it will be different, which means that a huge slope was created before Hangu Pass, and the coalition soldiers rushed up like walking on the ground, and the city tower with a low thickness must not be broken, while the enemy army has not yet understood this, Mongo has to quickly get rid of the enemy's ladder, otherwise they will understand that it will not be good, and I am afraid that there will be a real street battle at that time.

If the enemy's ladders are getting more and more day by day, then Menggo's words will not be easy, and Menggo doesn't want to be dragged to death by this tactic, so he decided to constantly consume the enemy's ladders, so that they will never be able to build more offensive fulcrums, lest the enemy find out about this.

However, only people like Meng Ge who are cranky all day long in their minds will have this kind of thought, how many cloud ladders are needed to build a huge slope with cloud ladders, the length of this Hangu Pass is 1,800 meters, even if the width of a cloud ladder is three meters, the number of cloud ladders is terrifying, at least two or three hundred cloud ladders can be built into a larger slope, the Kwantung Coalition Army has the patience to wait for hundreds of cloud ladders to be called a strange thing, not to mention how much manpower and material resources it will cost, the numbers are incalculable.

Jia Xu was ordered to prepare the rope and the boulder for a long time, the preparation was ready, and the soldiers just came to inquire about Jia Xu and immediately informed the specific progress, so that he could report that there was no big problem with Menggo, the rope had been basically completed, and he was waiting for Menggo's military order.

The soldiers who went to inquire quickly informed Meng Ge of Jia Xu's situation, and when he got the news, Meng Ge smiled strangely on his face, turned around and walked down the city tower, there is nothing to see here, or to find a way to leave the enemy's ladder, this matter is more interesting.

Jia Xu under the city tower is directing the people to arrange the collected ropes, although he didn't know what Meng Ge was going to do just now, but for such a long time, if he could guess it, it would not be Jia Xu, this rope is used to lasso the ladder, otherwise he really can't think of how to leave the ladder, the boulder is easy to explain, of course, it is used to fix, put the rope on the boulder, so that the enemy's ladder can't move at all, this is Jia Xu's speculation.

Others wish that the enemy's ladder would be pushed down, but Meng Ge just did the opposite, I won't let you go when you want to leave, Jia Xu in the busy room thought a little funny: "This seems to be an unwise approach sometimes it's really a bit of a doorway, the most critical thing is the timing, when the enemy wants to retreat, lock the ladder, this idea is really a bit of a loss, so that the enemy is in a dilemma, this is a great idea!" ”

Thinking about it, Jia Xu laughed to himself, and Meng Ge happened to come over in the distance, so he asked curiously, "Wenhe, what are you laughing at?" Laughing so happily, shouldn't you be a girl from a certain family? ”

These words were said very loudly, and the soldiers and people who went back and forth next to him couldn't help laughing, looking like they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, Jia Xu's face suddenly fell, this joke was a bit hateful, he was a family person, although it was nothing to be romantic, but he couldn't say it in public.

The meaning of the joke became a joke, and Meng Ge just said it casually, just now he saw Jia Xu laughing so cheaply, he couldn't help but want to play tricks, and soon Meng Ge checked the progress of the problem, looking at the ropes that had already been put on and the personnel who were basically ready, Meng Ge knew that Jia Xu had guessed what he wanted to do.

Mungo walked to the side of the stone and pulled the rope, feeling quite sturdy, this estimated that the big stone had to weigh a thousand pounds, and the enemy was afraid that it would be difficult to pull the ladder back, so it would be impossible to add two more pieces.

"Okay, Wenhe, I'll know so soon!" Mongo praised him from the bottom of his heart, this guy's brain is good, he understands his intentions so quickly, and he also does things properly, which is the key.

Jia Xu said a little embarrassed: "General, the subordinate is just acting according to orders, when will this start?" ”

"Of course it's hurry, the enemy's offensive is already minimal, and it's getting dark again, so it's better to be prepared! Don't wait, let's talk about it first, and when we get it done, we can watch the show and see how they retreat! ”

"Yes!" Jia Xu immediately began the lasso work, an order, the soldiers who had already been on standby on the city tower grabbed the rope that had already been laid, and put the knotted rope on the hook of the ladder in three or two clicks, and then ran back to the other side of the city wall to make a gesture, the soldiers below immediately understood, and immediately tightened the rope, the whole lasso process was extremely simple, and the two thick ropes firmly lassoed the ladder.

The ropes were set one by one, and Meng Ge suddenly thought again: "Two seem to be a little missing, if the enemy uses oxen and horses to pull the stones, maybe the stones will be pulled up, so it will be useless!" ”

Hurriedly Meng Ge walked to Jia Xu, who was busy directing the lasso, and said in a low voice: "Wenhe, how about adding two more, although there is a strong crossbow to suppress, but in my opinion, it is better to have a little more rope." ”

"Makes sense, but it's a bit troublesome to transport the stones, it's too late!" Jia Xu shrugged his shoulders helplessly, it wasn't that he didn't want to do this, but it was too late, this big stone was not lucky, it would take some time.

"Sonorous!" The sound of Mingjin closing his troops suddenly came, and Meng Ge was slightly stunned, it seemed that it was really too late.

"Let's go, Wenhe, go and take a look, and when they find that the ladder can't move, I think this expression must be very exciting!" Meng Ge had a wicked smile on his face, thinking that the expressions of the coalition generals would not be too good.

The two of them ran up the tower with great anticipation, and they saw that the coalition soldiers were running fast one by one, as if they were followed by some flood beast, but the person in charge of dragging the ladder back found that it was in big trouble, and the ladder seemed to be unable to pull up, as if it was stuck by something.

"You repeat, the ladder is stuck?" Wen Ping's anger was about to smoke, and the ladder was stuck at this juncture, which called him how good, if he threw down the ladder and ran like this, then all these days of hard work would be in vain.

It's not just the civil appointment that encounters the same problem, the coalition soldiers have all encountered the same problem, this information has been transmitted to the place where the commander of the coalition army is, everyone you look at me, I look at you, they don't know what to do, this will even retreat from the problem, don't think about it, this ladder is for Meng Ge to trap.

Yuan Shao said with an annoyed face: "Ha, what can we do this time, our ladder can't be withdrawn?" ”

"If you can't retreat, don't want it, anyway, that thing can't attack Hangu Pass, it's just right to retreat at this time!" Liu Dai said in a weird way, but he was telling the truth, even if there was a cloud ladder, he still couldn't go up to Hangu Pass, this was an ironclad fact, throwing down thousands of corpses, in exchange for insignificant casualties of the enemy.

Yuan Shushu stood up and said extremely unwillingly: "How can this work, it took us a lot of effort to get it, could it be just thrown to Meng Ge, even if it is destroyed, it can't be cheap." ”

Old man Tao, who had been holding back for a day, looked at Yuan Shu with disdain, and said sarcastically: "Ruined, how to destroy it?" At this time, who dares to rush to the front to dismantle the ladder, or Brother Highway, you will try it! ”

Yuan Shu shrank his head like a wilted dish and said: "This is not my business alone, why should I go, I can't destroy it when I don't say it, what do you have in mind, you say!" ”

At this time, who has an idea is called a strange thing, so many people died when the ladder was pushed up, if the ladder was dismantled, I am afraid that many people would have to die, but if it was thrown to Mongo like this, who could be willing, even if he was willing, he couldn't swallow this breath, and the commanders of the coalition forces had gloomy faces one by one, not knowing what they were thinking.

"The military situation is urgent, we don't have much time, let's make a decision early! Yuan Alliance Lord! Cao Ying walked off the stage with an expressionless face, today's battle is really a nest, and this solid Hanguguan Cao Ying is annoyed when he sees it.

Yuan Shao stepped down from the stage in frustration, and said with an extremely ugly face: "Withdraw!" Remove! Remove! It's all thrown away! ”

What does it mean to steal chickens and rice, Yuan Shao and the Kwantung princes are in such a mood now, Liu Biao didn't say anything, got up and walked off the platform, and left the place of right and wrong under the protection of a group of guards, the old man Tao also left, Liu Dai followed, this battle they understood that the traditional siege method is no longer difficult to capture Hangu Pass, this Xiongguan is like a moat across the Kanto and Guanzhong, no one can overcome.

After receiving the commander's order, Wen Ping was very helpless, and gave a weak order: "Tell the brothers to withdraw, don't send them to death!" ”

This decision is so helpless for the coalition forces, Meng Ge, who has been waiting to see the joke for a long time, has a smile from beginning to end, watching the coalition army withdraw like ants, Meng Ge is not surprised at all, this Hangu Pass can not be captured with a ladder, unless the city hammer can collapse this Hangu Pass, but such a thick city wall, if you want to collapse, you don't know how many people will have to die.

Seeing the unwilling withdrawal of the coalition forces, Meng Ge said with a smile: "Wenhe, are we too unkind, it doesn't seem good to rob other people's ladders, why don't we return it back?" ”

"Return?" Jia Xu found a lot of surprises today, this meat to the mouth can be returned that is a strange thing, I'm afraid there is something bad in mind, although others say that the poor Kou Mo chases, but Meng Ge seems to like to chase the poor Kou very much, is he not ready to pursue the enemy?

Before Jia Xu came back to his senses, Meng Ge shouted excitedly: "Shout with me, thank you Yuan League Master for generously giving the ladder!" ”

"Thank you Yuan Alliance Master for the ladder!"

"Thank you Yuan Alliance Master for the ladder!"

The shouts of the tsunami on the mountain of Hanguguan spread all over the four fields, and Yuan Shao, who was rushing back, stumbled under his feet and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, the judge hurriedly helped Yuan Shao up, and as the shouts came one after another, everyone's faces were a little ugly again, and everyone gritted their teeth and wanted to kill Meng Ge immediately.

In fact, Meng Ge originally thought that the enemy would fight for strength and continue to fight, but it seems that the enemy did not continue so stupidly, which saved a lot of effort, and the cloud ladder was successfully obtained, but it was not good to let go of the Kwantung Coalition Army like this, and it was not rude to come and go, this criterion Meng Ge has always adhered to, this time no matter what, the rules can not be broken, the enemy fights, there is no need to swallow his anger, people punch you, then you have to give someone a punch to be appropriate, otherwise it will not be a loss.

In this world, only suffering losses is the most unpopular, Mongo hates to suffer, people come to kick the gym, so you have to show some guys......

When the coalition forces were almost withdrawn, Meng Ge immediately ordered with a wicked smile: "Go, pass my military order, let Zhang Liao play with them, but let him pay attention, run away if something is wrong!" ”

If you want to retract with peace of mind, I'm afraid it's not so easy, Mongo is not the kind of person who can't fight back after being beaten, anyway, the cavalry battalion hasn't moved yet, let them go out for activities, and it's also a good way to hunt wild food, maybe they can get a little benefit, anyway, they won't lose money.
