Chapter 1172: Take the Tiger Prison Pass
The fierce battle in Tiger Prison Pass has lasted for nearly half a month, Lu Kang's face has become more and more pale, his eye sockets are deep, his eyes are full of bloodshots, and his mental state of the whole person seems to be very bad. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Lu Kang understands that this war will ultimately determine the final fate of Wu and Shu, for Wu State, this will be a war that cannot afford to lose, if Luoyang cannot be taken, Wu State will be at a disadvantage in the competition with Shu State, just with the Yangtze River natural danger, Lu Kang believes that it is difficult to block the attack of the Shu army, especially Shu has a ghost talent Liu Yin, his magic hand is often unexpected, but also difficult to parry.
If you want to take Luoyang, the first thing you must overcome is the Tiger Pass, which is a pass in front of the Wu army to be stronger than Lu Kang imagined, although the Wu army occupies an absolute superiority in strength, but the will of the Shu army is tenacious so that the Wu army's attacks again and again are in vain.
Every time the Wu army's attack seemed to be successful, but at the last moment, the attack was still repelled by the Shu army, which made the Wu army generals who were supervising the battle behind sigh and be angry.
The difficulty of the siege operation Lu Kang had been mentally prepared in advance, but the 250,000 troops who had been attacking for more than ten days could not take the Tiger Prison Pass, which made Lu Kang still feel unacceptable, after all, the disparity in strength was so great, the advantage was so obvious, and he had not been able to take the Tiger Prison Pass, which would undoubtedly make people question his command ability.
The only thing that made Lu Kang more reassuring was that in addition to the reinforcements sent by 20,000 horses at the beginning of the war, the Shu army has never added any soldiers and horses to the Tiger Pass, which undoubtedly made Lu Kang is confidence greatly increased, it seems that the civil strife in Shu has reached the point of breaking the muscles and bones, and the sequelae of the mutiny cannot be eliminated in a short time.
Therefore, the offensive actions of the Wu army became more intensive, not only launched a strong attack during the day, but also at night, this attack never stopped, since other ways were blocked, Lu Kang put all his strength into a head-on battle.
Launching a continuous attack with high intensity and sustained duration is precisely the best way to make good use of the superior forces of the other side; because of the superiority of one's own forces, one can have ample arrangements in the arrangement of troops, while the enemy has limited forces and has to exert all his strength to deal with the attack.
The purpose of this offensive method is to drag down the opponent with continuous attack, people's energy is limited after all, under the continuous attack, the collapse of the defenders is only a matter of time, more than ten consecutive days of attack, Lu Kang has believed that the Shu army is the end of the strong crossbow, absolutely not long, as long as the Wu army continues to exert pressure, breaking through the tiger prison will be just around the corner.
The more it reaches this critical moment, the more we can't relax, at this time, the Lu Kang no longer considers the cost of casualties, although the daily casualties of soldiers, thousands, but as long as the Tiger Prison can be taken, these casualties are the cost of Lu Kang can bear.
In order to completely destroy the last will of the defenders to resist, the intensity of the Wu army's attacks in turn became higher and higher, and the intervals were shorter and shorter.
Lu Kang hopes to use the night as a breakthrough to tear through the last line of defense of the Tiger Prison.
The offensive and defensive battle of Tiger Prison Pass has reached a white-hot level, and all signs indicate that the defeat of the Han army is already a sure thing, and there will be no more accidents.
During last night's attack, the Wu army used the battering ram to dig a big hole in the broken city wall of the Tiger Prison Pass, and the collapsed city wall reached four or five zhang wide, although the Han army defended desperately, and temporarily plugged the gap with sandbags, but the gap was very rough and simple, Lu Kang decided to attack tomorrow during the day, and carried out around this gap, taking this gap as the final battle, no matter what, Lu Kang must use some extraordinary means, and then can't take the Tiger Pass, It is bound to give those impeachment forces in the DPRK and China more leverage.
As soon as the morning dawned, Lu Kang mobilized a strong army to attack the gap.
This army is the descendant of Lu Kang, and its combat effectiveness is to surpass that of ordinary troops.
The offensive of the Wu army has shaken the defense line of the Han army, and this gap that is four or five zhang wide The Han army seems to be a little powerless no matter how to block it.
While the Wu army launched a strong attack, they desperately tried to remove the sandbags blocked in the gap, while the Han army resisted desperately and made a last-ditch effort.
At the end of the afternoon, the Wu army finally broke through this gap, and countless Wu soldiers rushed up and rushed towards the city of Tiger Pass.
The Han army was making a final resistance, as if they wanted to plug the gap, but there were too many Wu soldiers, like a wave rushing to the sky, completely covering the gap.
When more and more Wu soldiers rushed into this gap, the resistance of the Han army was completely declared unsuccessful, and the men and horses of the Wu army finally entered the city of Tiger Prison.
Lu Kang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and finally succeeded! The generals around Lu Kang were already cheering, although there was still a period of time before they took the Tiger Prison Pass, but breaking through the defense line of the city wall meant that the situation was already irreversible, and the Wu army was already holding the Tiger Prison Pass, and there was no suspense.
The next advance was very smooth, although the Han army was still resisting, but at this time their fighting spirit had dropped significantly, and they looked a little unintentional.
This situation is really normal, before the city is broken, the fighting spirit of the Han army is always high, the morale of the army is there, even if it is a difficult situation, they can hold on, but once the city is broken, it is like a deflated ball, in a short period of time, the morale of the Han army will drop to the lowest point.
Although there are still some places in the resistance, but this resistance has become meaningless, the rout of the Han army has been unstoppable, many Han army teams in order to avoid being divided and surrounded by the Wu army, has abandoned the city and fled, after the Wu army entered the pass, the progress is rapid, has controlled most of the area of the Tiger Pass, with the momentum of victory, the offensive momentum of the Wu army is still rapid, and the resistance of the Han army has finally become minimal.
In the end, the fall of the West Gate of the Tiger Prison Pass finally announced that the Wu army had taken the Tiger Prison Pass.
