Before the Tiger Prison Pass, according to the arrangement of Sima Yan, the king of Hejian, the various troops began to prepare separately, wanting to open the gateway to Luoyang as soon as possible, and Wang Yan's 10,000 Yanzhou troops also joined the siege troops.

The reason why the King of Hejian was so anxious to attack the Tiger Prison Pass was because the King of Chengdu had already gained the upper hand on the north side of the Yellow River, and he was really a little worried that the King of Chengdu would take Mengjin first. Therefore, he needs to launch an offensive as soon as possible at Tiger Prison Pass, and strive to take the eastern gateway of Luoyang as soon as possible.

For the current situation, the king of Hejian is even more worried about the king of Qi and the king of Chengdu, no matter which of these two guys can open the situation, then the Central Plains will really become a pot of porridge. In any case, the king of Hejian still attaches great importance to the Central Plains, and from the current situation of the Central Plains clan, basically Jizhou, Hebei Province is on the side of the king of Hejian, and only the Sizhou family and the clan south of Chenliu and Yingchuan are standing on the side of the king of Qi and Chengdu.

Therefore, in order to get a big piece of the cake after defeating the crown prince in the future, the king of Hejian needs to show his strength to the Central Plains family and strive to make the Central Plains his own back garden.

The day after the King of Hejian arrived at the Tiger Prison Pass, the Tiger Prison Guard, Zu Yue, found that the rebel camp under the Pass had begun to build siege ladders and well railings with great fanfare, and it seemed that he was really ready to make a big move in the Tiger Prison Pass.

Not to be outdone, Zuyo sent a small force to harass the enemy on one side, and carried stones to prepare for the enemy's siege.

When his side was preparing the siege equipment, Zhang Fang, the main general of the rebel army, took his team to the gate to call for battle, he looked at Zu Yue on the city wall and shouted: "Boy, dare to fight with this general!" ”

Zu Yue did not lose his momentum, although he was not as brave as his own brother Zu Yi. But no matter how you say it, he is also a fierce general, and he was provoked by Zhang Fang today. How can you be cowardly? And even if he wants to boost morale, he must go down to fight with the other party!

A moment later. The city gate opened, and Zuyo rode a tall horse and a spear in his hand, and led hundreds of soldiers out of the city gate. After rushing out of a distance, the spear swung to stop the soldiers, and then rushed towards Zhang Fang alone, shouting: "Thief, death!" Look at the guns! ”

Zhang Fang laughed a few times and said, "Come and go crazy!" Look at a certain house to clean you up! With that, he waved the big knife in his hand. Greet the ancestors.

The two clashed with knives and guns, splashing countless sparks, knives and guns, and the two of them were evenly matched. There was a loud sound from the point where the weapons clashed, like a thunderbolt in the clear sky.

Zhang Fang's knife skills are as fast as lightning and fierce as a tiger, while Zu Yue's gun is very good at marksmanship, not only making quick moves. And the point is steady and ruthless, especially the momentum that is as heavy as a mountain, so that no opponent dares to underestimate it, this is definitely a strong opponent!

Zuyo drives the warhorse. skillfully used a gun to smash the big knife that Zhang Fang chopped, and stabbed Zhang Fang's throat with a gun. Zhang Fang's eyes flashed, and he put the knife shaft upright. Accurately blocked the outside of Zuyo's gun, and made a crisp sound again.

Follow Zhang Fang to hold the handle of the knife. Press back with the blade, and at the same time the broadsword is like a bolt of lightning. He slashed down at Zuyo. Zu Yue completely ignored the opponent's slashing like Mount Tai's top, the spear in his hand rotated and turned into force, his left hand handed over his right hand, and the spear stabbed towards Zhang Fang's thick waist and abdomen like a poisonous snake out of a hole.

Zhang Fang faced the opponent's inevitable move, his waist twisted violently, and his strong waist became very flexible, and the light twisting cooperated with the knife in his hand, and once again accurately dodged Zu Yue's killing move!

Seeing such a wonderful and fierce battle between the two main generals, the surrounding soldiers were full of applause. After the first round of fighting, it can probably be seen that it is not easy for these two people to distinguish the winner from the loser.

One is complicated knife skills, the other is exquisite moves, and the gap between the two is very small, there will definitely be no winner within a hundred rounds, as for who can win if they keep fighting, it's really hard to say.

The king of Hejian stared at his general with great interest and fought happily with the other party, and he was very satisfied with Zhang Fang, not only because the other party was strong in martial arts, but more importantly, he was loyal to the king of Hejian. And Bi Heng next to him was a little gloomy after seeing the smile on the face of the King of Hejian.

And Wang Yan, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, was also a little surprised, he didn't expect that Zhang Fang's martial arts with an arrogant face would be so superb that he could compete with Zu Li's brother.

After another twenty or thirty rounds, the result was as everyone expected, Zhang Fang and Zu Yue couldn't help anyone!

In the end, the two had to end in a draw, Zu Yue looked at Zhang Fang, who was also out of breath, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes, and the characters who were valued by the prince were really not simple. In addition to his brother Zu Ti, I am afraid that only another Mo Dao general, Li Te, can defeat the other party, and it will be outside the eighty rounds.

"King, our siege equipment has been prepared, do you want to attack immediately?" Bi Heng came to the king of the river and asked.

"Great, pass on the king's order, the army will start to attack the city!" The king of Hejian was overjoyed when he heard this, he couldn't help but want to take the tiger prison as soon as possible, and as soon as he heard that the equipment was completed, he couldn't wait to give the siege order.

The main force of the first wave of attacks was Wang Yan's Yanzhou army, which had been resting under the Tiger Prison Pass for a long time, and it was a time when morale was high and energetic enough to serve as the main attack. Wang Yanling waved the flag, and the soldiers pushed the well railing and slowly advanced in the sound of drums.

At this time, the sloping terrain in front of the Tiger Prison Pass came into play, not only was it very difficult for the enemy siege equipment to advance, but it was also difficult to fix long-range weapons once the top of the well was tilted.

But the terrain advantage on the Tiger Prison Pass is too obvious, it is worthy of being the first pass in the world, the tall city wall makes the catapult on the head of the city, the city crossbow car exerts great power, large and small gravel, crossbow arrows, from time to time also sandwiched in the grinding plate of the big boulder. The siege equipment prepared by the rebels overnight had not yet been used, and was smashed to pieces by stones.

At first, the defenders at the head of the city behaved quite easily, with their tall walls and sharp defensive equipment, the rebels suffered enough, but the rebels had a numerical advantage and quickly turned the tide on the battlefield. The siege troops, under the cover of the archers, gradually approached the walls, and even some ladders had been set up on the walls.

"Chirp!"

Zuyo stood on the city wall, listening to the sound of arrows flying in his ears, while several rebels outside the city were building ladders towards the city wall. This kind of siege ladder is not like the TV in later generations, it will fall down as soon as it is pushed, as long as it is pushed against the wall by the besieging side, it is difficult for the defending side to destroy it.

"Kill!"

Zuyo shouted and stabbed a rising rebel, then kicked him off the city, and then slashed at the rising rebels.

"Brothers, kill all these rebels!"

"Kill!" "Kill!"

All the soldiers on the city wall roared angrily with Zuyo, and suddenly, the morale was greatly boosted, and the soldiers were encouraged, brandishing swords, guns, swords, and halberds to kill the rebels. These soldiers were basically the beneficiaries of the prince's new policy, and they knew that if the rebels broke through the Tiger Prison, everything they had before would be wiped out.

They will also return to the previous precarious life, eating the last meal without the next meal, it is the desire for a better life that makes the soldiers of the Xiang Army burst out with powerful combat power.

At this time, Sima Yan, the king of Hejian, watched his soldiers being driven down the city one after another, and his face couldn't help but show embarrassment. Originally, he saw his soldiers climbing the city wall, so he looked forward to capturing the Tiger Prison Pass as soon as possible, but under the orderly command of Zu Yue, the defenders quickly stabilized their position, and soon took away the advantage on the field.

Under the command of the commander, the commander and other non-commissioned officers at the grassroots level, three or five people cooperated seamlessly, taking advantage of the favorable terrain to resist the rebels' frantic attack.

"Woo ......"

A desolate trumpet sounded, and the attacking rebels suddenly retreated like a tidal wave. It was as if the sand was washed by a big wave, leaving only corpses and bloodstained walls, showing the world that there had been a tragic battle here.

"Captain, have the rebels withdrawn?" A junior officer walked up to Zuyo and asked softly.

"It's going back for the time being, but don't take it lightly, I'm afraid that the enemy's attack will be more fierce next, so let's take a break and replenish some arrows to prepare for the enemy's attack below." Zuyo didn't dare to be careless, this was just the first test of the rebels, and the next battle was the real test.

As Zuyo expected, in less than a quarter of an hour, after some adjustments, the rebels launched a new offensive again. The rebels swarmed like a tidal wave, pouring up the walls through ladders, and the defenders took advantage of the terrain to resist and firmly prevent the rebels from taking the city.

"Kill"

Zuyo roared, holding the horizontal knife in both hands, and took a big step forward, splitting the rebel in front of him in half with a single sword. Blood splattered all over him, and he suddenly became a bloody man. Zuyo's bravery boosted the momentum of the defenders, and they firmly suppressed the rebels with a weak force.

The casualties of the defenders were also increasing, and at this moment the city was also mired in hand-to-hand combat, Zuyo led his own soldiers to support back and forth on the wall, and whenever there was any danger, he would lead people to kill them as soon as possible. Between the swings of the horizontal knives, blood flowers bloomed, and one by one the rebels fell down holding their throats.

Despite Zuyo's courage and the good fighting of the Xiang army, the situation still developed in the direction of the defenders' disadvantage, and the rebels continued to climb to the city wall with their numbers, and the defenders' positions on the city head were constantly compressed. Under the wolf-like attack of the rebels, the soldiers of the Xiang army fell at the feet of the rebels one by one, but Rao is like this, and everyone is still stubbornly fighting with the rebels!

As the saying goes, the brave wins! If the defenders want to live, they must be killed! Kill! (To be continued......)
