Chapter 336: Withdrawal from Luoyang (middle)

Seeing Jia Rong get up and leave, Zang Ba struggled to get up and send him off, but was pressed on the bed again by Jia Rong.

"General Zang's injuries must be healed!" Jia Rong commanded in a low voice.

Although Zang Ba is not reused in the Dong army, he has always been a general promoted by Ding Yuan, and he has a certain prestige in the Bingzhou army.

Cao Xing snorted coldly and muttered: "Hypocrisy! Looking at Zang Ba's gaze, there was also a hint of resentment.

Jia Rong's behavior is contrived in the eyes of the generals of the Dong Army, but Jia Rong has won the hearts of most of the Dong Army soldiers, such a long time of cooperation, Dong Jun's treatment of the Xiliang Army has long been heard, the soldiers are divided into three, six, nine and so on, the treatment is different, the clothing is different, the right to pay is different, and all kinds of rules spread in the Tiger Prison Pass through the mouth of the soldiers of the Xiliang Army.

Many soldiers even let the Dong Army soldiers see their rank, which was also an honor in the Xiliang Army.

What makes Dong Jun's soldiers yearn even more is that every soldier in the Xiliang Army is registered, including all the information of the soldiers, they will not think about the death of the soldier at all, Jia Rong will arrange everything, this is a subtle trust, just like on the battlefield, there is no need for too many words, just a sentence, Jia Rong can make the Xiliang Army rush forward with a roar.

Zhang Liao was very anxious when he saw all this, and while reporting everything in front of him to Luoyang, he continued to win over the hearts of the army, comforting the injured soldiers and low-level generals, with the cooperation of Li Suniu, Fu Fan Chou and others, there was not much chaos, but the various soldiers of the Xiliang Army will not forget that they can stay in the Dong Army now because the time is not enough.

Outside the Tiger Prison Pass, Cao Cao looked at the scene of the Allied camp, and couldn't help but feel anxious, although the losses of the Allied forces were large, the defenders of the Tiger Prison Pass were not far behind, as long as the princes could launch another attack of the same intensity as before, the Tiger Prison Pass would definitely be broken.

A slap can't be slapped, and there are not many princes in the center of the allied forces who have fighting spirit.

"Report, general, Pingjin Pass was broken by the Allies, and the general of the Dong Army, Li Xuan, was defeated and retreated to Luoyang."

Even if he was mentally prepared, Jia Rong's brows were still furrowed, and Pingjin was breached, which meant that the princes outside the pass could directly march under the city of Luoyang, losing the meaning of continuing to defend the Tiger Prison Pass.

"Got it, go down." Jia Rong said lightly.

Jia Rong had already gotten the news through Jia Xu, but the generals in the Guannai had just gotten it.

The generals under the tent were buzzing to discuss, and Pingjin was breached, and the news was like a thunderbolt from the sky.

Zhang Liao took a step forward and said: "General Jia, the princes can break through Pingjin, and they can directly attack the city of Luoyang. ”

Jia Rong didn't like it in his heart, Zhang Liao's words seemed polite, not much different from ordering himself, he didn't like this feeling very much.

Zhao Yun shouted: "Our army was ordered by the emperor to guard the Tiger Prison Pass, and the saint did not have an order, how could he talk about retreating lightly." ”

Among the eight levels, the Tiger Prison Pass does not have the largest number of troops, but its combat effectiveness is the strongest.

Jia Rong stretched out his hand to stop the discussion of the generals in the tent, and said slowly: "The city of Luoyang is thick with high walls, even if the allied army has tens of thousands of troops, it will not be easily captured, if our army retreats, the Tiger Prison Pass will be empty, the princes will take advantage of the weakness, and the forces of both sides will be in Luoyang, and that is when the danger comes." ”

Zhang Liao was shocked in his heart, he didn't expect Jia Rong to analyze the situation so clearly, and since Jia Rong got the news, he just frowned, this kind of mentality of Mount Tai collapsing without changing color was not seen in Ding Yuan's body Zhang Liao did not see it.

"The princes outside the gate will definitely attack the city on a large scale when they get the news that Pingjin has been breached, you need to work together to give a deep impression to the princes outside the gate, so that they dare not underestimate the strength of our army, and it is not too late to discuss the retreat!" Jia Rong said impassionedly.

Lu Bu, Zhao Yun and other generals of the Western Liang Army claimed to promise, and the generals of the Dong Army were also moved, and the Tiger Prison Pass was replenished and unbreakable, and giving up in vain was equivalent to destroying the results of the previous efforts, and there was a little unwillingness in my heart.

Seeing that the army's heart was available, Li Su glanced at the generals of Dong Jun and acquiesced in Jia Rong's approach.

The princes of all walks of life have received the news that Pingjin was broken, the entire allied camp cheered, since the beginning of the army, the allies are invincible, all the counties along the way learned that the arrival of the army all avoided, but did not expect to be blocked by a small tiger prison, each prince has a little fire in their hearts, but these fires collapsed in front of the strong combat power of the Xiliang army, just like a vicious dog saw the Siberian tiger as docile, I wish I wanted to use the dog's face to stick the tiger's buttocks.

After Yuan Shao said a few words, he said loudly: "Pingjin is broken, Dong thief will definitely die, tomorrow you will work together to break through the tiger prison pass, and the soldiers will come to Luoyang." ”

Cao Cao Yue explained: "The allied troops are approaching Luoyang, and the defenders in the pass will definitely lose their fighting spirit and their morale will be low. ”

At this time, the princes were in a state of excitement and echoed one after another, in their opinion, Pingjin was broken, Dong Zhuo would definitely transfer the defenders of the Tiger Pass back to Luoyang, and the allies only needed a little effort to capture this Xiongguan that had plagued them for many days.

On the second day, the sky was a little gray, and Yangguan hid in the dark clouds, as if he didn't want to see the scene under the Tiger Prison.

The fighting spirit of the princes is high, but the soldiers are still afraid of the Tiger Prison, a few days ago, countless soldiers were wounded, many soldiers died in pain because of lack of treatment, morale was low, although the wall of the Tiger Prison was only so high, in the eyes of all the soldiers it was unattainable.

The drums of war rang out, and the only three remaining wells of the Allied forces slowly headed towards the Tiger Prison.

The tiger prison was full of swords and guns, and the morale was like a rainbow, as if he had not received the news that the Pingjin Pass had been breached, and he was even more noncommittal about Yuan Shao's soldiers shouting the slogan of surrender and not killing outside the pass.

Jia Rong held the Qingyu sword in his hand, standing proudly on the city wall, looking at the dense coalition soldiers outside the pass with indifferent eyes.

"Put!" Jia Rong gave an order, closed the crossbow arrows shot first, which were shot from the huge bed crossbow, and roared towards the dense coalition soldiers, each arrow penetrated at least three soldiers, and two of the three wells creaked and fell, and the high-spirited princes seemed to be choked by a pair of invisible hands, and the resistance in the tiger prison was even more fierce than before.

Compared to the tens of thousands of coalition troops, these dead soldiers were nothing, but the soldiers who witnessed this scene were afraid of the crossbow arrows that looked like baby arms, and when they rushed to kill, their eyes were firmly fixed on the tiger prison.

The bed crossbow is followed by a crossbow and bow attack, the soldiers on the pass wield arrows to their heart's content, a three-stage attack, so that the attacker is threatened from the city at all times, and the occasional bed crossbow brings up a smear of blood, creating a battlefield bloodbath.

Before they could get close to the city walls, the Allied soldiers had already suffered thousands of casualties.

Cao Cao glanced at the battle situation in the distance, and couldn't help sighing, the fighting spirit of the defenders was even higher than before, the sluggish coalition soldiers couldn't attack at all, and it only increased the casualties, and the awe of Jia Rong was raised by more than one layer again, the powerful and incomparable cavalry, countless means of defending the city, Cao Cao had a feeling that if the coalition army could not completely eliminate Jia Rong this time, it would become everyone's enemy in the future.

Wooden boulders and boiling oil poured down uncontrollably, and the Allied resistance was stronger than ever.

The sun slowly revealed half of his face from the dark clouds, and after a careful look, he walked out with confidence, leaving the dense corpses of the coalition soldiers under the tiger prison, the battlefield battle came and went quickly, and the retreat was fast, although the princes from all walks of life had their hearts, but the soldiers under their command did not need to die, the three wells were all destroyed, and the only means of attacking the city of the allies were the tactics of the sea of people.

After winning the victory and counting the losses, Jia Rong began to arrange for the defenders to retreat to Luoyang.

It is impossible for Jia Rong to directly give the Tiger Prison Pass to the princes, and he will definitely leave the defenders, on the issue of leaving the generals, there was a dispute between the Xiliang Army and the Dong Army, and neither side was willing to leave the generals to guard, who knows what will happen to Luoyang, stay and die for a lifetime.

Fan Chou Niu Fu, as an old general-level general in the Dong army, will naturally not be left to guard the tiger prison, and the only ones left are Zhang Liao, Hao Meng, Cao Xing and other generals who have just joined the state, Li Su's status in the army is not something that these generals can shake, but Li Su handed over this tricky matter to Zhang Liao to deal with.

"General Zhang, in your opinion, which general is more appropriate to leave to guard the Tiger Pass?" Niu Fu turned to look at Zhang Liao and asked.

Zhang Liao glanced at the generals left and right, and said slowly: "General, it is recommended to leave General Zang Ba to guard the Tiger Pass, General Zang Ba is a stable person, and the Tiger Pass is a big pass, and the princes have been scared and will not talk about war lightly." ”

Hao Meng Cao echoed again and again, as long as he didn't leave them to guard the pass, it would be fine.

"I agree with General Zhang." Hao Meng and Cao Xuan glanced at each other and said in unison.

Niu Fu nodded and said: "In this case, leave a thousand soldiers and horses for General Zang Ba to stay in the Tiger Pass, and General Ben will definitely ask for credit for General Zang in front of the Taishi." ”

A hint of schadenfreude flashed in Hao Meng's eyes, the strength of the princes outside the gate was as many as tens of thousands, leaving a thousand defenders, clearly wanting to rectify Zang Ba, remembering that Jia Rong went to visit Zang Ba a few days ago, the generals present felt that it was a matter of course, and they were secretly glad that they did not show goodwill to the Xiliang army in a short-sighted manner.

Unlike Dong Jun, when Jia Rong told this story in the Xiliang Army, it immediately attracted a fierce competition from the generals present, and everyone wanted to stay.

Jia Rong thought for a long time and said slowly: "Big brother, how about I want to leave you and Huaxiong Li Shunzhen to guard the tiger prison?" "Guo Yan is calm, and has always been strategic, has a lot of prestige in the army, and is also an old partner with Hua Xiong, the two are naturally foolproof when they cooperate, with Li Shun's trap camp, it can be said to be a perfect combination of defending the city.

Ask for the red.
