Chapter 93: Breaking the Tiger Prison
Outside the Tiger Prison Pass, there was a team of Dong Zhuojun with only more than 100 people. Many Dong Zhuojun soldiers carried the seriously injured patients, and some soldiers who were injured but could still walk independently, with the support of their companions, stood with difficulty.
In front of them was a tall pass. The walls of the pass are covered with black vertical banners.
The black flag flew with the hunting of the gangfeng, making a burst of "hulala" sound.
"Whose command are you waiting for?" At the head of the city, an officer of Dong Zhuojun held the battlements with both hands, looked at the more than 100 people standing under the city, and raised his voice to shout to them.
"We are under the command of General Zhao Shu!" Dong Zhuojun, who was not seriously injured in the city, raised his head and shouted at the head of the city: "A few days ago, I fought with the rebels, and many brothers were injured, and I sent them back to Guannei on the order of General Zhao Shu!" β
"What about General Zhao Shu?" Before the officer at the head of the city could speak, a general walked to the edge of the battlement, pressed one hand on the battlement, frowned slightly, and asked Dong Zhuojun under the city.
"The rebels were defeated and fled to the southeast, and General Zhao Shu chased them!" Dong Zhuojun, who replied, raised his head and answered the general's question.
"Listening to your accent, it doesn't look like a native of Luoyang, and it doesn't look like a Xiliang clan?" The general at the head of the city did not immediately order the soldiers guarding the gate to open the gate, but then asked the soldiers under the city, "Who are you?" β
"Don't dare to deceive the general!" Asked by the general, Dong Zhuojun under the city hurriedly bowed down and responded: "We are all Jianghuai people, we moved to Luoyang in the early years, and served as a soldier under General Zhu Jun. β
The general at the head of the city looked at the more than 100 Dong Zhuojun under the city with a suspicious expression, and was silent for a moment before waving his hand to the soldiers behind him and saying to the soldiers: "Let them enter the customs!" β
The soldier answered, ran down the wall, and told the mouth to open and close.
Tiger Prison Pass, the city wall is made of bluestone, the appearance is painted with yellow mud, the yellow mud is baked with charcoal again, the wall is steep and straight, although it is not very high, but it is also solid and abnormal.
In addition, the nearby terrain is dangerous, a male pass guards the main road, if it is a strong attack, only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses are needed to guard the pass, and there is no 100,000 male soldiers to attack for three or four months, and this pass can not be taken.
Standing under the city wall, I saw the gate of the pass slowly open, and more than 100 Dong Zhuojun carried the wounded soldiers and walked silently towards the pass.
They walked towards the pass, and not far behind them, Liu Wei led more than a thousand officers and soldiers, who were dormant in a deep grass, looking at their backs.
"Once the soldiers who cheat the pass occupy the pass, we will rush up immediately!" Seeing that more than 100 Dong Zhuojun outside the city were carrying the wounded soldiers close to the pass, Liu Wei turned his head to look at the wounded lying in the grass, and said to Zhou Cang and Dian Wei: "Leave more than ten soldiers to take care of the wounded soldiers here." β
"No!" The two of them responded in unison, and Zhou Cang also glanced back at the wounded soldiers, lowered his voice and said to Liu Wei: "Your Highness, those wounded soldiers of the Huainan Army were not injured in the battle with us, why did they ......?" β
"Follow me, it's my soldier!" Liu Wei turned his head, glanced at Zhou Cang, and said to him softly: "In the future, if you recover from your injuries, those who can go to the battlefield will also be a help, and those who can't go to the battlefield are willing to unload their armor and return to the field, and we should also prepare some coils for them!" β
Zhou Cang nodded and didn't say anything.
has followed Liu Biao for so long, and when Liu Biao kills the enemy, he is often ruthless and does not leave a living mouth at all! But when dealing with the people he recognizes, he is sometimes kind like a generous elder.
The gate of the Tiger Prison Pass opened, and more than 100 soldiers of Dong Zhuo's army slowly walked into the pass, and just when the last person was about to enter the pass, the wounded soldiers they were carrying suddenly jumped up, drew out the long swords that had been hidden in advance, and pounced on the soldiers guarding the pass.
The attack happened too suddenly, and the first to attack was a group of wounded soldiers who looked dying, this situation was completely unexpected by the soldiers guarding the pass, and before they could come to their senses, more than a dozen people were already smashed to the ground by the officers and soldiers of Dong Zhuo who suddenly launched the attack.
"Shhh With the sound of the cloth tearing, the soldiers who had previously answered the general's question at the head of the city tore off the sleeve of their left arm and shouted to the soldiers who entered the pass with him: "Brothers, occupy the pass, don't let the thieves escape!" β
More than 100 soldiers who entered the pass with them all tore off the sleeve of their left arm, drew their blades, and pounced on the defenders near the pass.
"Kill!" Seeing the chaos at the pass from a distance, Liu Wei drew his long sword, shouted, and took the lead in rushing towards the Tiger Prison Pass.
Seeing him rush out, Dian Wei and Zhou Cang also roared angrily, and then got up and rushed out.
More than a thousand soldiers followed closely behind them, and after a field battle between the Huainan army and Dong Zhuo's army, they had collected enough weapons from the battlefield to equip everyone, each with a shield in one hand and a long sword and short spear in the other, shouting and rushing towards the Tiger Pass.
Lu Bu had already withdrawn, and most of the soldiers and horses left behind in the pass were sent to clear out the remaining princes' coalition forces nearby, and the remaining soldiers and horses in the pass were only more than 500 people.
The city gate was in chaos, and the general guarding the pass was deploying manpower ****, but he didn't want to suddenly kill a larger army from outside the pass, even though he was already experienced in a hundred battles, but he was also stunned.
"Shoot the arrows! Shoot them with arrows! Liu Wei and the others got closer and closer to the city wall, and the general at the head of the city shouted at the soldiers who were already a little panicked.
As soon as he shouted, the soldiers on the city wall hurriedly took out their longbows, put arrows on the bowstrings, and shot a rain of arrows towards Liu Wei and the others.
The number of Dong Zhuo's troops guarding the pass was already insufficient, and most of the soldiers who were sent by the general to counterattack the city gate were sent by the general guarding the pass, and the remaining manpower on the city wall was not very large, and the arrows shot would not be very dense.
Leading more than a thousand people, Liu Wei held a shield and galloped all the way, occasionally a few arrows flew past him with the sound of the wind and plunged into the dirt behind him.
Although the arrows were very loose, they also hit a few soldiers who followed Liu Wei to charge.
The soldiers who were shot by the arrows fell to the ground with a muffled grunt, and those who were less injured could still sit on the ground, covering their wounds with painful faces; The more seriously injured ones twisted their bodies in pain after falling to the ground, letting out a moan.
Two of them were particularly unlucky, and they were directly hit by arrows, and after falling to the ground, they struggled twice, and then they couldn't move again.
Arrows were still flying down from the city, but Liu Wei and the others had already poured into the pass.
More than 1,000 people crowded into the narrow tiger prison to close the city gate, and the gate suddenly seemed a little crowded.
"Kill!" Rushing into the city gate, Liu Wei roared angrily, brandished his long sword, and pounced on the defenders of Tiger Prison Pass opposite.
As in every previous battle, Dian Wei and Zhou Cang were sandwiched between Liu Wei's sides on the left and right, protecting him in the middle, and the soldiers who followed behind poured into the pass like a tide.
"Block! Block them! Seeing that the city gate had been broken, the existing garrison forces could not resist the attack of Liu Wei and others, and hurriedly shouted to the soldiers guarding the pass: "Fight and retreat!" β
"Your Highness, that person is Wei Xu!" Liu Wei slashed Dong Zhuojun who was blocking in front of him with a sword, and the officer who had previously dressed up as Dong Zhuojun and rushed into the city raised his hand and pointed at the general who had just run down from the city wall, turned over and rode on a war horse and was about to flee and shouted to him.
Hearing Wei Xu's name, Liu Wei was stunned for a moment.
To rescue the Huainan Army, the Dong Zhuo army they encountered was led by Zhao Shu, the general of Lu Bu's department, and the Tiger Prison Pass was guarded by Wei Xu, the general of Lu Bu's department.
It can be seen that the area around Hugao Pass has not yet been handed over to the army that came to take over, and although LΓΌ Bu has led the army back to Luoyang, the distance that can be traveled may not be very far.
"Kill!" Probably having an understanding of the form, Liu Wei roared angrily, brandished his long sword, and slashed at Dong Zhuojun who was blocking in front of him.
Wei Xu has withdrawn, the fighting spirit of the guards almost collapsed, Liu Wei led the army to launch another onslaught, the guards tried to resist, but the strong pressure was like a rubber band that was about to break, and kept exerting pressure on the fist, when the strength reached the extreme, the rubber band was suddenly broken.
The defense line of Dong Zhuojun's guard was defeated, and the soldiers of Dong Zhuojun, who had not much will to fight, coaxed him, and he didn't care about Wei Xu's order to fight and retreat, and rushed towards the pass.
Liu Wei and the others did not stop pursuing, and after Dong Zhuojun dispersed, they followed closely behind, slashing all the way, chasing and killing Dong Zhuojun who had escaped.
Dong Zhuojun, who had a slower leg, was caught up by Liu Bian, Liu Biao raised his sword and fell, and the long sword drew an arc of light and slashed at his back.
Dong Zhuojun howled miserably, and the leather armor of the back heart was torn in an instant, and a long hole was also split out of his back. The flesh of the deep wound turned outward, and blood gushed outward.
After slashing over Dong Zhuojun, Liu Wei did not linger, but carried a long sword and continued to chase forward.
The back of the heart was split with a long opening, Dong Zhuojun fell to the ground, struggling to get up and continue to escape, but at this time, a soldier wearing the armor of the Dongjun soldiers rushed up from behind.
The soldier rushed to the front, raised his foot and kicked Dong Zhuojun on the ribs of the waist who had just gotten up, kicking him to the ground.
When Dong Zhuojun was facing the sky on his back, the short spear in the armor of the Dongjun soldier flipped over in his hand, stepped forward, and the tip of the spear fell down, piercing the short spear into Dong Zhuojun's heart.
The short spear pierced into the heart, and a stream of blood shot out along the shaft. Dong Zhuojun, who was pierced by a short spear, held the spear shaft with both hands, his eyes widened, and he stared straight at the Dongjun soldier who pierced his heart with a spear.
Dongjun Bing was holding a short spear, looking at Dong Zhuojun who was pierced through his heart with a hideous face, and as soon as his arm was raised, a stream of blood **** came out, and his face was full of shots.
"Stop!" After chasing five or six miles in one go, Liu Wei stopped the pursuing team and shouted to the officers and soldiers present: "Poor Kou Mo chase, follow me back to Tiger Prison Pass and replenish grain and grass!" β
