Chapter 333: The Princes Attack the City (Continued 2)
"Good! Let the soldiers feast today, and attack the Tiger Prison Pass in the coming day, and they will not return! Yuan Shaohao said dryly.
The princes in the tent promised one after another, each prince had a small abacus in their hearts, Yuan Shao was eager to break through the Tiger Prison, but more for family affairs, otherwise why didn't Yuan Shao be so anxious before.
Yuan Shu's heart was overjoyed, if this strategy could succeed, his position in the alliance would rise to the line of fire, and it was not impossible to replace Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance
The next day, the sky is clear, the scorching sun hangs high, the tiger prison is under the scorching sun, you can clearly see the blood stains on the city wall, so that this majestic level adds a few traces of majesty, after more than a hundred years of peace, the tiger prison pass again heard the sound of war drums and the shouts of soldiers.
Outside the Tiger Prison Pass, the princes' armies gathered, except for the White Horse Yicong who defended the Chinese army, the rest of the soldiers were all put into the battlefield siege battle, and the coalition army invested about 80,000 troops, divided into four waves.
Looking at the dense array of coalition soldiers outside the pass, Jia Rong couldn't help but sigh that if the coalition army had just come and invested so many troops at one time, it would be a great question whether the Tiger Prison Pass could be defended.
The soldier's firm eyes and the swords and guns in his hands seemed to tell the princes' army's determination to defend the city.
The successive victories made the morale of the Guannai unprecedentedly high, and the princes' coping with the battle was exchanged for the morale of the Guannai.
More than 20 rushing cars appeared in Jia Rong's field of vision.
Jia Rong gasped, he didn't expect that the princes' army already had so many siege tools, it seems that the princes' army was not idle during this time, judging from the brand-new appearance of the rushing car, these rushing cars have just come out not long ago, although the city wall of the Tiger Prison Pass is thick, but it can't withstand the continuous collision of the rushing car, when the city wall that it relies on is breached, the Tiger Prison Pass has also been declared.
Hundreds of ladders were erected by the coalition soldiers on the Tiger Prison.
On the dirt mountain, the coalition soldiers poured arrow rain on the pass, and most of the dense arrow rain fell on the hanging cowhide, and there were still a few arrows shot at the pass.
Turning off the pot is already a pot to boil oil, and the oil in a pot is bubbling hot.
The car was covered with cowhide, which shows that the princes are also fully prepared.
Looking at the rushing team rushing to the city, Jia Rong sneered and shouted: "Release!" ”
The coalition soldiers saw dozens of boulders the size of a millstone falling out of thin air with a thousand momentum, and it was too late to dodge, their eyes widened, staring at the boulder in horror.
A rushing car could not withstand the impact of the boulder, and was mixed into pieces, and the soldier driving the rushing car looked dumbfounded.
After a round, there were only three rushing cars left to rush to the gate, and the soldiers next to the rushing cars were also stunned by the sudden changes, and forgot the task for a while, but they didn't expect that the boulder falling from the sky would rise and fall by itself, which was beyond the soldier's cognition.
The boulder that fell to the ground slowly rose, and after careful inspection, it was found that there was a thick rope tied to the boulder, and several soldiers worked together, and the boulder rose to the height of the city wall again, and after a little aiming, the boulder fell again.
All three vans were destroyed, and more than a dozen unlucky soldiers were smashed into meatloaf, which was unsightly, and the life-seeking boulder was stained with patches of blood.
The soldiers next to the rushing car scattered in a hurry and ran to the rear, but after a while, there was a tragic howl, it was not terrible to be killed, but seeing his companions smashed into flesh with his own eyes, the visual impact can be imagined.
With the experience of the previous car, the more than ten rushing cars behind were much more cautious, staring closely at the few big stones hanging on the tiger prison.
The merciless boulder not only smashed into the car, but also took the life of a coalition soldier, becoming a nightmare for the siege soldiers.
The boulders rendered the cart useless, leaving a shadow in the hearts of the coalition soldiers, who would always glance at the city from time to time to see if the boulders had fallen.
Not only the boulders, but also the pots of boiling oil were ruthlessly swayed down by the soldiers who closed it, and the screams and fighting of the coalition soldiers were endless.
There was no shortage of talented men in the coalition army, and at the command of one of the generals, the archers fired at the boulders that closed the gates, and the ropes were broken and landed with a popping sound.
The chariot rushers are active again, but the wooden boulders that are closed need to be guarded from time to time, and if the chariot is broken, it can be done again, and if the small life is lost, it will be gone.
With the raw cowhide hanging outside the gate, the soldiers on the well need a certain jishu if they want to shoot arrows at the gate.
The 20,000 army attacked the city together, and the soldiers on the well did not have any scruples, shooting arrow after arrow, and they could shoot a soldier on the gate, and they could be excited for a long time.
However, whenever a soldier was injured at the gate, two soldiers would quickly come to his side and carry him away.
Although the battle lasted for a long time, the soldiers at the pass were still sound, and the wounded soldiers were all relegated to the second line, and the soldiers who were slightly wounded refused treatment without hesitation.
These changes in the situation can greatly promote the morale of the soldiers in the shut, each soldier does not have to worry about what happens after being injured, some soldiers of the Dong army persisted tenaciously after being injured, and seemed to forget the teaching of the main general before leaving, and some Dong soldiers in order to cover the soldiers of the Xiliang Army, and even pounced on the soldiers of the coalition army at the cost of their lives, and the stories of singing and crying were staged on the shut.
The morale of the soldiers of the Dong army was also high, their eyes were fixed on the soldiers who climbed up from the ladder, and they were constantly raging from the arrows, and like the soldiers on the well, the wails of the allied soldiers, they were numb.
One by one, the ladders were pushed down by the defenders, and another ladder came up, so Jia Rong had no choice but to order the spare soldiers to be transferred up.
Even so, there were still coalition soldiers who climbed up without fear of arrows and stones, and fought with all their strength to fight the defenders at the gate to buy time for their companions.
In the princes' army, Yuan Shao saw the coalition soldiers climb the city wall, an order, the drums beat loudly, the spirit of the coalition soldiers was shocked, the rushing car that left the battlefield slowly drove out, the defenders on the closed were already too busy to take care of themselves, and the rushing car began to be reckless, and the impact sound of "dong dong" made the defenders on the gate feel that the city wall under their feet was trembling gently.
Although the defenders in the pass are brave, there is no shortage of warriors in the coalition army, and the generals of the various departments have done pre-war agitation before the war, and the reward for killing a defender is also clearly marked, although most people do not sincerely want to join the army, they can't bear to come to the rich reward.
Rushing to the car well and the earth mountain, these few things are always shocking the defenders of the city.
Jia Rong ordered a few words in a low voice, Zhao Yun led five hundred blood guards to constantly patrol the pass, but there were enemy soldiers who climbed the city wall and immediately swarmed up, whenever the strong combat power of the blood guards arrived at one place, the enemy army was quiet, the blood guards were carefully selected from the Xiliang army, everyone had a good skill, they may not know as much as the lone wolf soldiers, but they knew how to protect the main general on the battlefield and how to quickly eliminate the enemy army.
With the encouragement of the Blood Guards, the defenders of the pass worked together, and the soldiers who climbed the pass were quickly eliminated.
The big stone on the close began to rise and fall again, not when the big stone fell, you can always hear the screams, the soldiers in charge of the boulder showed a happy smile, at first they were a little unbearable, but to see one by one robes ruthlessly fall under the enemy's arrow rain, unbearable to turn into a heartfelt comfort, the enemy's screams in their ears is a wonderful fairy sound.
The drums of the coalition army were still rumbling, but Yuan Shao's brows were tightly frowned, and the soldiers who rushed to the pass were quickly killed.
The coalition forces once again slowly walked out of a dozen chariots, and unlike the rushing chariots, these chariots were covered with raw cowhide and coated with mud, which was very inconspicuous.
Coalition soldiers sweat like rain with shovels in hand, and soldiers help carry earth.
Although the defenders on the pass saw these strange chariots, they did not pay attention to them and continued to kill the enemy.
The defenders who climbed the city wall were wiped out, and Jia Rong divided the reserves again, and this siege of the coalition army must have been protracted, as can be seen by just looking at the soldiers in the coalition army who are ready to go.
More than a dozen strange chariots were parked there until noon.
The coalition soldiers retreated, the defenders of the gate let out an earth-shattering roar, many soldiers were injured and did not want to leave the battlefield, and the friendship between the robes heated up in the battle, which was a friendship that dared to give his back to others.
Jia Rong touched the blood on his face, took the bread handed by the soldier, chewed a few bites, and looked at the cheerful robe, but his face showed a heavy expression.
"Report, general, the defenders of the pass heard a lot of movement underground, as if the ground was about to collapse."
Jia Rong took the bread out of his mouth and hurriedly said, "Take me there." ”
The soldiers guarding next to the urn saw Jia Rong coming, and hurriedly stepped forward to explain.
Jia Rong listened to the clear knocking sound and friction sound in the urn, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, but he didn't expect that the coalition forces outside the gate still used the method of digging tunnels, even if these urns were not in vain, it seems that the princes' siege skills are quite a lot, and the relevant foreign soldiers are covering, and if they are not guarded, they may be taken down by the coalition forces to take the checkpoint together.
There are many ways to deal with such rats, they can set fire and water, but Jia Rong doesn't want to disturb them, and he can get the death of the coalition soldiers at the lowest cost, so why not.
Under Jia Rong's order, a ditch about one and a half meters deep was dug out, and the ground inside the pass became criss-crossed, and the soldiers stared nervously at the ravines in front of them with weapons in hand, because Jia Rong said that there would be coalition soldiers from these ditches.
Leaving 500 soldiers to guard the city under the leadership of Hua Xiong, Jia Rong climbed the city wall again, and a pot of oil and boulders were transported.
It was only an hour before and after, and the coalition of princes began to attack the city again, and there was a great Jiashi who did not break through the checkpoint and did not rest.
