Chapter 212: Breaking the Tiger Prison!

On the third day of the storming of Tiger Pass, shouts of killing broke out at night, and the defenders of Tiger Pass lit braziers to expand the sight of the defenders.

In the past two days, the coalition army of the Kwantung princes has been sending a phalanx of 20,000 people to attack the Tiger Prison Pass in turn, causing the defenders of the Tiger Prison Pass to be no stranger at this time.

The harassment tactics of the coalition forces of the Kwantung princes made the defenders of Tiger Prison a little numb.

This time it was not much different from the previous two nights, and the coalition army of the Kwantung princes sent another 20,000 siege team to harass the Tiger Prison Pass.

Li Wei yawned, and turned white in the cold winter: "The Kanto people are challenging again, and it really doesn't make people sleep well." ”

He commanded the defenders of Tiger Prison Pass step by step, wanting to teach this group of Kwantung princes a lesson.

There were 20,000 enemies attacking Xiongguan, and in the face of the fifteen-meter-high Tiger Prison Pass, they were as small as ants.

Every time the Kwantung princes attacked the Tiger Pass, they did not hesitate to pay any price, but hurriedly retreated after killing and wounding hundreds of people. Li Dao concluded that the other party had only come to harass the defenders and lower their morale.

The effect is also obvious, Li Dao has not had a good night's sleep for three days and three nights, because the war drums under the gate continue to beat.

The two sides began to face a rain of arrows at Tiger Pass, and the siege troops launched more than a dozen chariots to cover the approach of the archers. The arrows of the Xiliang archers fell on the cowhide cart, but the effect was not obvious.

"With your little strength, it is impossible to capture the Tiger Pass. Even if the morale of my Flying Bear Army drops, and it is dismounted to fight, with the advantage of Xiongguan, how can you break through? ”

Li Dao was thinking about the looting of Luoyang in his heart.

He was left here by Dong Zhuo to guard the pass, which meant that he could not participate in the ransacking of Luoyang by the Xiliang and Guanzhong legions, which was undoubtedly a huge loss for him.

Luoyang, as the imperial city of the Eastern Han Dynasty, I don't know how many good things there are, but these good things have entered the hands of Guo Yan, Niu Fu, Zhang Ji and other generals.

Suddenly, Li Wei vaguely realized that danger was approaching, and years of experience in the battlefield told him that he heard the sound of large wooden instruments moving.

The brazier on the Tiger Pass provided only a partial line of sight for the defenders, and most of the area outside the Tiger Pass was dark for the defenders.

The sound of large wooden instruments getting closer and closer, making Li Wei more and more uneasy.

He seemed to have sensed what it was.

"Fire Arrow!"

Li Dao urged the archers who had rockets to shoot rockets at the source of the sound!

Hundreds of fire arrows pierced the sky, slightly illuminating the darkness along the way, and the defenders could faintly see what it was, it was a hideous monster - a giant siege tower twenty meters high, pulled and pushed by hundreds of soldiers, slowly approaching the Tiger Prison Pass!

The archers of the Sound Battalion at the top of the siege tower shoot arrows at the defenders of Tiger Prison Pass, suppress them, and cover the siege tower as they approach the city wall!

The siege tower is covered with cowhide on all sides to prevent it from being easily ignited.

The defenders of Tiger Prison Pass panicked, and the coalition forces of the Kwantung princes this time were not harassing, but seriously attacking the city!

"Kill!"

"The first to arrive, there is a lot of reward!"

Under the Tiger Prison Pass, countless torches were lit and gathered into a fire dragon, and the 200,000 army suddenly attacked the Tiger Prison Pass at night, wanting to take the Tiger Prison Pass in one fell swoop!

"They're here for real!"

Li Dao's scalp was numb, and he suddenly came to his senses.

The Kwantung princes in front of him continued to harass, in order to suddenly attack the Tiger Prison Pass this time!

A rain of arrows is shooting at the defenders of Tiger Prison!

All the ten princes sent elite archers. Chu Tian sent his elite battalion of archery into battle, led by Li Guang, and other princes to suppress the Xiliang archers on the Tiger Prison Pass!

Cao Cao sent the Dongjun archers led by Xiahou Yuan.

Liu Bei had no bow generals in his hands to use, so he sent Zhang Fei to lead the Jizhou archers into battle.

Mingguan sent Zu Dashou to command the archers of Liaodong.

The ten princes are real, and no one can stop them!

The Xiliang archers on the Tiger Prison were suppressed by the elite troops of the ten princes, and hid behind the female wall, not daring to shoot arrows easily.

Xue Rengui was standing on the twenty-meter-high siege tower at this time, condescending, and as the siege tower gradually approached the city wall, he could already vaguely see the outline of the defenders on the city wall.

He took out an arrow from the quiver behind him, and the bow was like a full string, and shot it at a figure who looked like a general!

"Fool, let go of your arrows, don't hide behind the walls!"

Li Dao drew his saber and commanded, and a stray arrow from the siege tower shot at one of his own soldiers beside him!

Xiliang's own soldiers, who were hit by the arrow, fell to the ground and wailed.

Li Wei hurriedly ordered his soldiers to take off their shields and line up in a circle to protect them.

The cloud ladder hooked the city wall, and the Kwantung soldiers all over the mountains swarmed up, making it difficult for the mentally tired Xiliang soldiers to defend!

"Big brother, I'll go to the first place and I'll take Huaxiong's head to see you!"

Guan Yu stroked his long beard, carried the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, and led a team of Jizhou light infantry to serve as the first team!

"Lord, Lian Po will definitely break the test!"

Lian Po, whose temples were slightly white, held a Warring States broadsword, commanded the Taiyuan infantry in Bingzhou, and went to attack!

Li Guang led the shooting battalion to suppress the archers above Xiongguan, while Xue Rengui sniped the opposing generals on the siege tower, and only Zhao Yun and Hua Mulan were the two fierce generals on Chu Tian's side.

Zhao Yun looked at Chu Tian, most likely wanting to fight.

"Zhao Yun, you lead five hundred soldiers of the Fine Willow Battalion to ascend first."

Chu Tian finally agreed.

Zhao Yun is not suitable for commanding too many soldiers and horses, and it should not be a problem to lead some elites to serve as the first to ascend.

"Yes!"

Zhao Yun shook his spear and led five hundred soldiers of the Willow Battalion into the huge siege battle.

This time, the ten princes made up their minds and broke through the Tiger Prison in one go!

"Lord, Cao Agui and they invested all their forces to attack Xiongguan!"

Yuan Shao's advisor Xu Yu hurriedly woke up Yuan Shao, who was sleeping.

Yuan Shao came out, and Yan Liangwen followed behind.

In the distance, thousands of torches, as bright as day, shook the Yellow River with shouts of killing, so that Yuan Shao's army was alarmed.

Yuan Shu, Kong Ling, Yuan Yi and other princes were horrified when they heard the shouts of killing.

Chu Tian and Cao Cao really tried their best to attack the Tiger Prison Pass!

Yuan Shao shook his head: "The Tiger Prison Pass is the world's first-class male pass, how can it be broken by them?" I will continue to sleep, and when I wake up tomorrow, Cao Apu will definitely return in vain. ”

The giant siege tower was close to the Tiger Prison Pass, and the six-meter-long suspension bridge was smashed down, and a few Xiliang soldiers who would not have time to escape in the future were smashed into meat sauce!

"Kill!"

The elite infantry hiding inside the siege tower, led by Xue Rengui, followed the drawbridge to the wall of the Tiger Prison Pass!

The soldiers below followed the winding aisles inside the siege towers to the top of the siege towers, and then followed the drawbridge to the city walls!

The siege tower provides an effect similar to that of a ladder truck, and the 15-meter-high Tiger Prison Wall is no longer a natural hazard!

Xue Rengui brandished Lu Bu's exclusive Fang Tian Painting Halberd, assassinated several Xiliang soldiers one after another, and captured the wall!

Guan Yu led the Jizhou infantry to climb along the ladder car first, and the big knife was moved, killing one person in five steps!

Zhao Yun was unwilling to be defeated, and his silver armor and white robe killed on the wall, and he formed a circle formation with the fine willow battalion to provide cover for the continuous flow of soldiers in the rear to enter the city.

The Xiliang soldiers tried to expel Zhao Yun and his party, and were stabbed to death by Zhao Yun, and the blood stained the red and white robes!

Seeing that he was one of the three generals who defeated Lu Bu under the Tiger Prison that day, the Xiliang soldiers couldn't help but be shocked and took a few steps back.

Lian Po, the general of the Warring States Period, also led his troops to climb the wall, killing several people one after another with a big knife, and countless soldiers behind him then ascended the city, unstoppable!

Li Dao and Hua Xiong saw that the situation was not good, and they had long had the idea of giving up the Tiger Prison Pass, so they led their own soldiers to go down the pass and fled in the direction of Luoyang City.

Ten princes with troops and fierce generals joined forces, and the combat effectiveness that broke out was unimaginable!

Dong Zhuo's Tiger Prison Pass, which intends to give up defense, is about to fall.

Since it was decided to move the capital to Chang'an, it no longer made sense to defend the Tiger Pass, because there was no city to provide food to the defenders of the Tiger Pass.

It's just that Dong Zhuo didn't expect that the originally scattered Kwantung princes would be as fierce as tigers, and the really powerful princes joined forces to capture the Tiger Prison Pass, which was defended by the 50,000 Xiliang defenders with low morale.

Xu Rong, the chief general guarding the Tiger Prison Pass, did not realize that Li Dao and Hua Xiong had abandoned him and fled because they were afraid of the power of the Kwantung Heroes, but came to support him with his own soldiers.

When he killed the wall, he found that the city wall was almost lost, and the generals of all the Kanto provinces were slaughtered, and two or three thousand Xiliang soldiers were killed!

And Li Dao and Hua Xiong, who were responsible for defending the wall tonight, are nowhere to be found.

He was sold by his teammates!

A group of elite light infantry killed, they were dressed in two armors, some were armed with iron halberds, and some were armed with Han crossbows, attacking Xu Rong and his own soldiers!

One after another crossbow arrows shot out, and the soldiers around Xu Rong fell one after another.

Xu Rong wanted to escape, but a silver-armored young general had already stared at him.

Xu Rong's scalp was numb, wasn't this silver-armored young general a Kwantung general who fought with Lu Bu that day?

After Zhao Yun waited for the Xiliu Battalion to use crossbow arrows to shoot the personal soldiers around Xu Rong one by one, he personally dragged the red tassel gun and approached Xu Rong step by step......

The battle of the Tiger Prison Pass lasted for a whole night before it ended, and the flags of the ten princes were planted on the wall of the Tiger Prison Pass!

When Yuan Shao woke up again, he asked the soldiers around him: "Have Cao Apu, Chu Zimou and the others returned defeated?" ”

The soldiers replied hesitantly: "Lord, they, they have already captured the Tiger Prison Pass......"

When Yuan Shao heard the news, he was immediately stunned, the world's No. 1 Xiongguan was actually captured!

The princes of the 15th Route, who did not participate in the war, were shocked when they learned that the coalition army had attacked the Tiger Prison Pass in three days and nights.

Although the morale of the Xiliang Legion has been low, and although the number of soldiers defending the city has decreased, the Tiger Prison Pass is a Xiongguan after all!

Xu You hurriedly came to find Yuan Shao again: "Lord, the Tiger Prison Pass has been broken, but you can march westward to recapture Luoyang and the Son of Heaven, and great things can be done!" ”

"However, the Tiger Prison Pass is not the ...... I have conquered"

"The princes from all walks of life worked together to make Dong Zhuo retreat, and the capture of the Tiger Prison Pass also had a share of the credit of the lord. If Luoyang and the Son of Heaven are not recaptured at this time, the Son of Heaven will be taken away by Cao Apu and Chu Zimou, won't the lord lose face? ”

"Makes sense! Ling Yan Liang and Wen Chou ordered 10,000 cavalry, and the alliance mainly personally pursued the national thief Dong Zhuo, and he was ashamed! ”

Yuan Shao personally put on a strong line, and led the cavalry with Yan Liang and Wen Chou to pursue Dong Zhuo!

Yuan Shu, Wang Kuang and other princes who stood by and watched saw that as soon as the Tiger Prison Pass was broken, they could enter Heluo and loot on a large scale, so they immediately entered the pass!

"Attacking the Tiger Prison Pass did not make any effort, but when it came to reaping the fruits of victory, one ran faster than the other......"

Chu Tian saw Yuan Shao and other princes enter the pass, and shook his head again and again.

Although the Tiger Prison Pass has been broken, how can Dong Zhuo's army in Luoyang be messed with? In the plains, once the horses are flat, the Xiliang army will be invincible.

Even Chu Tian only had twelve double-bow bed crossbows in his hands that could pose a threat to the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

"Ding! As your army fought hard to storm the Tiger Pass and successfully captured the Tiger Pass, your army's exploits in the Tiger Pass battle were doubled. ”

Chu Tian's guess was right, capturing the Tiger Prison Pass could gain additional combat merits.

It is estimated that the other princes who participated in the capture of the Tiger Prison also doubled their military exploits.

In this battle, Chutian won more than 10,000 feats, and there were 30,000 after double.

In addition, Chu Tian and the other princes divided the captives in the Tiger Prison Pass.

Li Dao and Hua Xiong's soldiers and horses gave up defending the Tiger Prison Pass and sold Xu Rong, so almost all the prisoners were Xu Rong's soldiers, about 10,000 people, and on average, each prince could only get more than 1,000 prisoners and hundreds of war horses.

Zhao Yun made great contributions in this battle of Tiger Prison Pass, and he escorted a military general of Dong Zhuo to come.

Chu Tian was quite surprised, he didn't expect that Hu Zhen, the cavalry captain who failed to capture Dong Zhuo alive last time, finally caught a Dong Zhuo's subordinate this time.

Chu Tian saw that the man was about forty years old, and he looked stubborn, as if he was unwilling to admit that he had become a prisoner.

This is also normal, not long ago, he commanded Xiliang's soldiers and horses, and his position was prominent, but he suddenly became a prisoner at this time, so he naturally didn't fit in.

"Who are you?"

The man did not answer.

Chu Tian knew that it would be difficult for the generals with the lord to be subdued.

Zhao Yun and Xu Sheng will surrender after their lord is dead, and Zang Ba, Sun Guan and other Taishan thieves will be conquered by force after Chu Tian exterminated them.

And the lord of this person in front of him is Dong Zhuo, and it is not easy to subdue Dong Zhuo when he is not dead.

Or, generals who surrender too easily, Chu Tian does not dare to use them, such as Lu Bu, who recognized his father as soon as he surrendered.

"If you don't tell you who you are, that's fine, come here, bring a captive to identify you."

Soon a Xiliang cavalry was brought over: "This is our general, Zhonglang General Xu Rong." ”

Xu Rong?!

Chu Tian didn't expect Zhao Yun to catch a figure with a lot of background, Xu Rong, a Zhonglang general who had defeated Cao Cao and Sun Jian in history.

Although Cao Cao and Sun Jian did not have many troops at that time, it also showed that Xu Rong had the ability to command......

Xu Rong was recognized, so he no longer concealed it: "I will not be loyal to you, if you want to kill, you will kill." ”

"It's a pity to kill you......"

Chu Tian thought that Xu Rong should be a good cavalry general, so he temporarily detained him.

As long as he brought back to Langya Kingdom and disciplined slowly, he didn't believe that Xu Rong would not surrender.

"Let's continue our march to Luoyang!"

Chutian united the other nine princes to pursue Dong Zhuo westward, perhaps intercepting some of the supplies and population, and even possibly rescuing the Son of Heaven and the hundred officials.

Chu Tian saw the mighty twenty-five princes and lords entering the customs: "So many princes, where is one son of heaven enough to divide ......?"
