Cao Cao's army surrounded the Tiger Prison Pass, this is the second time in his life to attack the Tiger Prison Pass, the previous attack on the Tiger Prison Pass he took the way to break through the way for Guan Yu to see through, suffered a fiasco, this lesson is very painful, now the soldiers are in the Tiger Prison Pass again, changed Zhang Fei's guard, Cao Cao began to ponder: although Zhang Fei is a horseman, but the thick and fine, not in vain, to deal with him is not an easy task, Zhang Fei's martial arts are exquisite, the previous time because of drunkenness failed to win, If it were a weekday, this would definitely be a master who would not admit defeat, but he still understands Zhang Fei Cao Cao, this kid's temperament is on fire, Cao Cao's eyes lit up after thinking about it carefully, his brows were furrowed, he squinted his eyes, stroked his beard and looked into the distance, and smiled knowingly.

On the one hand, he commanded the reinforcement of the city fortifications, and on the other hand, he sent a messenger to Liu Bei in Luoyang to report the situation of the Tiger Prison Pass to Liu Bei, Zhang Fei is a brave man who is not afraid of strong enemies, but this is the first time in his life to guard such an important city, that is to say, this is the first time in his life to take on a heavy responsibility, so this is both a trust and a challenge for him, as a sworn brother, Guan Yu put him in such an important position to show his importance and trust, How can he have the experience of defending the city, even so, Guan Yu still boldly enabled him, this Zhang Fei understood in his heart, so he didn't dare to take it lightly for fear of losing his second brother Guan Yu.

After Cao Cao's army surrounded the Tiger Prison Pass, he saw that Zhang Fei closed the city gate and took a defensive position, so he sent the generals to call the formation in turn, and scolded in turn, Xiahoudun, Cao Hong, Dian Wei, and Zang Ba took turns to appear according to the order, "Zhang Fei still doesn't go down to the city to fight with me?" "Why did Zhang Feixiao hide as a shrunken turtle? Where's your ability? "Zhang Fei is a gentleman, so he came down to fight, what kind of hero is hiding in the city?"

This harsh scolding made Zhang Fei in the city sit on pins and needles, originally he was not prepared to take any more risks as an inexperienced city defender, he was responsible for his second brother Guan Yu. So he took a defensive position, but Cao Cao seemed to see through his idea, this round of scolding made Zhang Fei unable to sit still anymore, his reason was quickly washed away, just when Xiahoudun came out to scold again, but saw that the suspension bridge outside the Tiger Prison Pass was suddenly pulled up. The city gate was opened with a "squeak", but at the opening of the city gate, I saw a person rushing out across the horse and dancing a spear, Xiahou Dun was really startled when he saw it, this person was none other than Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei was indignant and rushed straight to Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Dun still knew about Zhang Fei's force, during the battle of Tiger Prison Pass, Zhang Fei drunkenly killed Dong Zhuo's general Hua Xiong, and it was widely sung in the army!

However, Xiahou Dun was not deterred by Zhang Fei. But seeing him wielding a big knife and immediately facing Zhang Fei, both of them had the courage to fight immediately, Zhang Fei Wow Wow screamed a snake spear flew up and pressed towards Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Dun's golden gun was blocked horizontally, Zhang Fei's snake spear was stopped by the horizontal knife, and the sound of "bang" splashed everywhere, Zhang Fei's style was full of strength, and then Zhang Feihu had to be upside down. His eyes were wide and round, and his eyeballs were about to fall out. Gritting his big teeth, he exerted all his strength, and pressed Xiahou Dun hard, Zhang Fei put all the anger he was holding back on Xiahou Dun, and Xiahou Dun, who was pressed by this move, also stared at him, Xiahou Dun thought: This kid is really ruthless! That's a lot of energy! This snake spear is like a mountain at the head. Although the weapon was not heavy, Zhang Fei's strength was enough to make him a little overwhelmed.

Xiahou Dun gritted his teeth and held Zhang Fei's Zhangba snake spear, and it took a long time to remove Zhang Fei's snake spear, Zhang Fei's snake spear flew again, and Xiahou Dun's golden spear resisted. The two of them fought dozens of times in a row, Xiahou Dun turned his horse and ran, Zhang Fei thought that he had a good momentum and chased after him, and shouted while chasing: "Where is the erector to escape?" Let you know how powerful your grandfather is! ”

Xiahou Dun also didn't care about running away, Zhang Fei where was willing to chase from behind, seeing that he caught up with Zhang Fei and launched an attack with a snake spear, Xiahou Dun fought and retreated, so Zhang Fei chased out of the tiger prison for 20 miles, but at this moment he heard a cannon sound, and the ambush soldiers rose in all directions, there was Dian Wei on the left and Xu Chu on the right, Xiahou Dun turned over and turned back, the three people and horses were like three torrents rushing to Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei saw that the situation was not good, and he knew that he was in an ambush and turned back, and the three people and horses were willing to let go, and they were killed from behind, Zhang Fei drove his horse to gallop in the direction of Tiger Prison Pass, but at this moment, he saw a banner waving in front of him and a large group of men and horses blocking the way, Zhang Fei fixed his eyes and saw that it was Cao Cao's other generals who killed him, and it was the generals Xiahou Yuan, Cao Hong, Yu Ban, and Zang Ba who killed them together and blocked the way

Zhang Fei saw that the four of them blocked the way, and immediately went crazy, but he heard his "ah" shout, the sound was like a huge thunder resounding in the air, frightened Cao Cao's four generals invariably retreated a few times, and then saw Zhang Fei riding the big black horse like a swordfish rushed over, the four saw that Zhang Fei was going to break through and united to prepare to stop Zhang Fei, Zhang Feiyue rode a spear into the four, Xiahou Yuan Cao Cao raised his guns and tried to stop Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei at this time was like a crazy lion, Zhangba snake spear rose up to dismiss the steel spear of the two, the two were involuntarily scattered by Zhang Fei, one after another, the double could not stop, Zhang Fei rushed away but was stopped by Zang Ba Yu Ban again, Zhang Fei roared and the prancing horse spear swung away the two as if entering no one's land, the two could not stop, Zhang Fei rushed away from the four people in a row and continued to gallop towards the tiger prison.

Later, Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan, Cao Hong, Yu Ban, Zang Ba and other seven people merged together to pursue Zhang Fei, a continuous chase for more than ten miles to catch up with Zhang Fei can not go, Zhang Fei ran all the way to the Tiger Prison Pass, straight to the Tiger Prison Pass, the city guards saw Zhang Fei single-handedly killed back and hurriedly opened the city gate to welcome Zhang Fei into the city, Zhang Fei drove the horse into the Tiger Prison Pass, and the Cao army had already chased to take advantage of the opportunity, but unexpectedly there were already precautions in the city like arrows raining down, the Cao army generals could not advance so they gave up, Zhang Fei had to enter the city from the beginning of the peace of mind.

Cao Cao's so many generals stopped Zhang Fei and let him slip away underneath, which has to be said that Zhang Fei's strength is amazing, this scene Cao Cao saw clearly in the distant dirt mountain, Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh: "Zhang Yide is really the tiger general of the world!" ”

Cao Cao's aggressive tactics were aimed at capturing Zhang Fei, and Cao Cao knew that Zhang Fei was extremely brave and powerful. In the previous Tiger Prison War, he appeared and killed Dong Zhuo's henchman Hua Xiong, which shows the amazing strength of his force, the previous Zhang Fei had the upper hand because of the drunken fight with Xu Chu, if it is called under normal circumstances, it is difficult to say who wins and who loses, so if you want to capture Zhang Fei, you have to send a strong lineup, so Cao Cao sent all his generals this time, and he never expected to let Zhang Feifei go. Cao Cao Fang felt that Zhang Fei was indeed too tiger to be captured, which also declared his plan a failure.

Cao Cao gathered all the strategists together, reported the previous things, and said: "I originally wanted to capture Zhang Fei in one fell swoop, but Zhang Fei, this kid was so brave, and our seven generals couldn't intercept him and let him run." This plan was discovered by Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei will definitely not be easily fooled, the tiger prison is strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, I don't know what you have to do? ”

In the army, Liu Ye recommended: "Don't worry, according to the lord's expectations, I have built a 'thunderbolt car' that can attack the city and plunder the land for the lord, even if his city is strong, as long as there is a 'thunderbolt car' as a cover, we will be much easier to attack the city, I think this tiger prison can be tried!" ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he suddenly came to his senses, and he asked excitedly, "Oh? God help me! With such a sharp weapon to help, you don't have to worry about big things! Summons the order to go down and prepare for the siege of the city on the same day! ”

After hearing this, the strategist Xun You persuaded: "Even if there is a good weapon to help, the Tiger Prison Pass is strong after all. Prepared sufficiently, the sharp weapon has not been tested before. If it doesn't work, won't it delay the cause, and if Guan Yu returns from the western expedition, things will be troublesome! ”

"What's the best idea for Fei Gongda?" Cao Cao turned to Xun You and asked.

Xun You recommended: "Zhang Fei has suffered two losses from us in a row, so he must be careful, that is to say, he will not fight easily, and he will continue to persevere." But Zhang Fei is addicted to alcohol, but he can't be sloppy in the current situation, what the lord needs to do is to paralyze his will, the more we are attacking the city, the more Zhang Fei is sticking to it. So the lord should not be in a hurry to attack the city, just let the soldiers outside the city and then call the battle, Zhang Fei will definitely not come out, come and go the lord to put on a tired posture, the spirit of the sergeant should be slack, if necessary, you can release the words to say that the tiger prison is extremely difficult, but the food and grass will not be enough to withdraw the troops, in this state of affairs, the situation becomes no longer tense, Zhang Fei's tense nerves will be relaxed, I think he will continue to drink like before until he is drunk and dreaming of death, as long as Zhang Fei drinks more again, then our opportunity will come, We secretly assembled the siege troops to take advantage of Zhang Fei's drunkenness to steal the city to open the city gate, and the tiger prison pass can be lowered in one fell swoop, which is called 'Ming Xiu Plank Road Darkness Chen Cang'! And the price we pay is much smaller! ”

After hearing this, Cao Cao praised: "Xun Gongda is really Chen Ping alive!" If this plan is very good, follow your plan, don't rush to attack the city! ”

Cao Cao according to Xun You's strategy according to the plan, every day sent a general to scold in front of the pass, Zhang Fei last time ate Cao Cao's big loss and felt Cao Cao's power, but also realized Cao Cao's insidiousness, so after suffering a loss and being fooled, Zhang Fei no longer paid attention to this kind of scolding, let him provoke, if the provocation was too much, he let the archers in the city let the arrows expel him, and no longer go down to the city to fight, so that after a few days, Cao Cao has sent eight generals one after another, but Zhang Fei just can't hold on, Zhang Fei saw Cao Cao scolding for days and thought that Cao Cao was nothing more than that, just trying to lure him out of the city, as long as he couldn't stick to Cao Cao, he would have no choice but to take him

For a few days, Zhang Fei was tired of Cao Cao's form of challenge, rather than listening to these anti-ear scolding voices, it is better to hide elsewhere and drink happily, as the saying goes, "out of sight is clean", looking at these troubles every day can not solve any problems, as long as you stick to it, it is the king's road, "let the wind and waves rise, sit firmly on the Diaoyutai", Cao Cao boy, you catch it, Lao Tzu will not accompany you, you should be happy! Zhang Fei made up his mind and no longer paid attention to the unreasonable scolding of the city, so he hid in his residence and drank again.

As long as this tiger prison is not lost, the second brother Guan Yu will not blame himself, so he can rest assured that he can go to the fullest, these days can suffocate him, in view of the urgency of the situation, he no longer dares to drink too much, and he does not dare to drink too much every day, lest he drink too much and make a mistake, when will Zhang Fei be able to leave the wine! He drinks a lot and doesn't drink too much, which means he likes to drink heavily until heavily. Drink until he falls asleep, and he doesn't stop lying down if he doesn't drink, this is his state of life, especially during the period when he was guarding the Tiger Prison, because there was no war and he was idle, this kind of day could only be passed by wine for Zhang Fei. During this time, he was drunk every day, until Cao Cao's appearance suddenly broke his peaceful life.

These days have made him uncomfortable, and now the situation has finally improved, and he can open his throat and release it to his heart's content, Zhang Fei returned to his residence when he drank heavily, drank several jars of wine in a row, but he was still not addicted until he was drunk and lay on the ground and fell asleep. Zhang Fei really drank too much this time, this time he drank all the wine he owed before, and the whole person was as if he was unconscious.

Just when Zhang Fei was drunk. Cao Cao under the city is already ready to move, this night the moon and stars are scarce, the soft moonlight sprinkles on the ground to reveal endless tenderness, the tiger prison is closed and the lights are bright, there are still many people in the crowd, and can hear the bustling voice, from time to time there are patrolling soldiers passing in the city, and the gate is still tightly guarded. Coupled with the bitter cold winds of winter, this night was particularly unusual. A large number of black-clothed people were beating not far from the city, taking advantage of the bright moonlight, they slowly moved towards the Tiger Prison Pass, without letting the soldiers in the city find out, these people quickly moved to the Tiger Prison Pass and slowly moved and moved to the edge of the city

These men in black took advantage of the moonlight to move to the tiger prison, and gathered more and more. However, their actions were soon discovered by the defenders of the city, who soon discovered them with the help of torches, and one of the sergeants shouted, "Come on! Oh no, there are enemies in the city! It didn't matter what this shout was, and the city suddenly boiled, and there were only a few generals in the tiger prison at this time. After discovering this enemy, the general of the city ordered the defenders of the city to throw ash bottles and cannons to roll wood and stones at the city.

The black-clothed people under the city saw that they were found and immediately flew up and scratched hooks to the tiger prison, and climbed up to the city, and at the same time, Cao Cao's brigade, which had already been ready, also began to charge, for a time the city was as bright as day, countless torches were lit in an instant, and the city suddenly became a sea of fire, and then saw a large number of Cao army pushing the train to the city gate of the tiger prison to attack, this kind of train is also a way for Cao Cao's army to attack the city first, this kind of train is a tool for burning the city gate, the car is equipped with a stove, and the furnace is full of grease, Boiled with a charcoal fire, piled up dry wood around the car, pushed the car under the city gate, set it on fire and left. If the enemy in the city pours water to extinguish the fire, because the oil is lighter than the water, the flame is higher, and it is easier to burn down the city gates. Of course, this train is mainly designed for the suspension bridge outside the city gate, just when Cao Cao's army pushed the train to attack the Hujiaoguan suspension bridge, Cao Cao's other new invention also began to be put into use, what invention? That is the "Thunderbolt" mentioned earlier.

The so-called "thunderbolt" throwing car is to set up an axle horizontally on a wooden shelf, the middle of the shaft wears a long wooden pole with toughness to throw the rod left, one end of the rod is knotted with a leather bag connected with ropes, and the other end is knotted with dozens to more than 100 ropes, listen to the command to pull hard together, and use the principle of lever and centrifugal force to throw the boulder out. Of course, it is not necessarily a stone that is thrown, but also a fireball and other things, this time Cao Cao attacked the Tiger Prison Pass and was ready to throw fireballs, throwing countless fireballs to the Tiger Prison Pass, on the one hand, it played a role in attacking, on the other hand, it could also cause panic and chaos in the city, so that the defenders in the city were more at a loss, and at the same time, it could also cover the soldiers who pushed the train to attack the drawbridge, so that mutual coordination greatly improved the possibility of success in the siege, and also reduced a lot of casualties

Cao Cao's army can be said to have made careful arrangements for the siege of the city, during the day, the general took turns to go to the Tiger Prison Pass to challenge and scold, while Cao Cao and everyone in the rear were actively preparing for the siege, and so on to find out that Zhang Fei was drinking, this night Cao Cao's army gathered outside the Tiger Prison Pass, and at this time Zhang Fei was already asleep when he was drinking, Cao Cao launched an attack on the Tiger Prison Pass in a lightning way, Cao Cao's attack was different from the previous one is that this attack Cao Cao invested two new weapons, one was created by Liu Ye" Thunderbolt car", the other is the use of a train to attack the suspension bridge, this train has been used in history, but since the Warring States period, this kind of car has rarely been used, buried in history, Cao Cao and everyone after research and through the previous ancient records to make this train again.

Cao Cao's five thunderbolts launched a fierce attack on the Tiger Prison Pass at the same time, and in an instant dozens of fireballs flew towards the Tiger Prison Pass, and the defenders on the Tiger Prison Pass were dumbfounded when they saw dozens of fireballs flying in the air, they had never seen this kind of formation, and in the face of such a situation, the soldiers in the city were even more powerless, and soon dozens of fireballs flew to the Tiger Prison Pass, accompanied by a series of "whoop" screams, the defenders on the Tiger Prison Pass quickly became a mess, and at this moment, the black-clothed troops of the Cao Army under the city climbed the city. Seeing that the train under the city rushed straight to the drawbridge, the situation was extremely critical, and the general on the tiger prison then commanded the defenders of the city to start struggling to block.
