"Chu Zimou, did you really not leave a first-class celebrity to guard the house?"

"It's Cao Bao who is too vegetable......"

Of course, Chutian can't tell the other party that Langya has the matter of Princess Pingyang, this is a hole card.

Therefore, Chutian could only explain to the princes from all walks of life that Cao Bao, the chief general of the Xuzhou army, was incompetent. The Inhuman Lord knew that Cao Bao was a third-rate general, and Tao Qian himself did not have any famous generals, so he could explain it.

However, there are still princes who don't believe it in their hearts, no matter how mediocre Cao Bao is, he will take hundreds of thousands of regular soldiers to fight Langya State, and there is a steady stream of supplies from Tao Qian in the rear.

After Chu Tian stabilized the rear, he continued to participate in the operation to recover Luoyang.

Several inhuman princes judged that there should be a special reward for recovering Luoyang, plus the generals who wanted to win the battle and capture Dong Zhuo, so they had the idea of recovering Luoyang.

Dong Zhuo's army lost the heads-up, and the morale has begun to decline seriously, and if it does not retreat, the demoralized Dong Zhuo army may be completely annihilated in Luoyang City.

The people who participated in this operation were all a group of powerful princes, as for the weak princes such as Jiao He, Kong Ling, and Kong Rong, and the unenterprising princes such as Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Han Fu, Chu Tian and the others directly ignored their existence.

The Eastern Han princes present included Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Jian, and Bao Xin, and the Yiren princes included Chutian, Mingguan, Zhao Long, Tongque and others.

These princes are all really powerful people, and among them, there is also a Beifu army in the hands of Lujiang Taishou Tongque.

The Eastern Jin Dynasty Beifu Army is a legendary legion in the Eastern Han Dynasty, formed by Xie Xuan of the Xie family of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and selected the warriors who came south from the north because of the war to serve as the Beifu sergeants. The famous generals born in the Beifu Army include Xie Xuan, Liu Gaozhi, Liu Yu, and Tan Daoji...... All of them are fierce men.

"The number of defenders of Tiger Prison Pass has decreased, and the troops stationed outside the pass have also left, indicating that Dong Zhuo has plans to abandon Tiger Prison Pass and Luoyang. This is our chance to capture the Tiger Pass and recover Luoyang. ”

Mingguan took the initiative to attack Tiger Prison Pass.

He brought 20,000 Liaodong cavalry, which is considered a powerful prince, and ordinary Central Plains princes are really not as good as him when it comes to cavalry.

"Dong Zhuo is going to burn Luoyang in three days!"

Just as Chutian and the others were about to march, they learned that Dong Zhuo was about to abandon Luoyang and plunder Luoyang's population and property to Guanzhong, Liangzhou and other places, and the plan was changed. There are also players or lords in Dong Zhuo's army who specialize in selling intelligence, so the Kwantung Coalition can actually buy information from the opposite side. With such a big move as moving the capital to Luoyang, it is impossible to hide people's eyes and ears.

"If we can capture the Tiger Prison Pass in advance, maybe we can hunt down Dong Zhuo, take back some of the hundred officials and population, and even capture Dong Zhuo's generals alive."

Chu Tian and the others knew that the time had come to attack the Tiger Prison Pass.

Now the conditions are in favor of the coalition forces. First of all, the morale of Dong Zhuo's coalition army has dropped to a certain point. Secondly, Dong Zhuo wanted to move the capital to Chang'an, but the guards of the Tiger Pass, Li Dao, Xu Rong, Hua Xiong and others had no intention of fighting, worried that Dong Zhuo would be regarded as an outcast.

Moreover, the strength of the Tiger Prison Pass has dropped from hundreds of thousands to tens of thousands, and the Inhuman lords of the various Dong Zhuo camps are thinking of sacking Luoyang in order to obtain enough wealth and population, and they have also withdrawn from the Tiger Prison Pass to Luoyang one after another.

It is not impossible to storm the Tiger Prison Pass, break through the pass in advance, kill the Quartet in Heluo, and capture the Xiliang cavalry!

Chu Tian, Ming Guan, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Liu Bei, Tongque and others are all capable princes, unlike Yuan Shu, Kong Rong, Kong Ling and other wretched people, if they join forces, the Xiliang Legion, which is now demoralized, may not be their opponent. The only thing that can stop them at the moment is Tiger Prison. Once they broke through the Tiger Prison Pass, they could loot the troops, population, and property of Dong Zhuo's camp.

"The siege equipment is ready."

During this period, Chutian and they were not completely unprepared, and some princes brought high-level siege equipment talents, and prepared siege equipment under the Tiger Prison Pass, and siege equipment such as siege towers, bed crossbows, ladder cars, and chariots were ready.

Chu Tian and the other princes plan to do a big deal!

"Cao Ah concealed that they were plotting together, and he didn't take you seriously at all. The lord, you are the fourth and third princes, but they don't want to see you so much! ”

Yuan Shao's military advisor Xu You was indignant when he found that Cao Cao and the princes of Sun Jian, Liu Bei, Chutian, Mingguan, and Tongque had set up a separate door in the alliance of the princes of the Twenty-Five Routes.

Yuan Shao had also noticed that Chu Tian and the others were not taking him to play together.

Now Chutian has intersected with Cao Cao, Sun Jian, and Liu Bei, basically knowing each other, and also knowing Mingguan, Tongque, Zhao Long, Hu Ma and other alien princes, so he has the strength to start a new business.

Liu Bei and Chu Tian had a little unpleasantness, but in front of the righteousness of Kuang Fu Han, the two of them had a tacit understanding regardless of their previous suspicions. Capture the Tiger Prison Pass first and recover Luoyang, as for the previous grievances, we will count them later.

Attacking the demoralized Tiger Prison Pass, they decided not to bring Yuan Shu, Kong Ling and others who sent people to their heads, otherwise it would be bad.

The remaining twenty-five princes were divided into two small groups, one of which was strong and ambitious, and one group of weak or troubled waters and did not intend to consume troops.

In addition to the princes, the Yiren lords also began to stand in line, Prince Yan, Huo An and other lords followed Chu Tian and wanted to do a big deal, and more lords chose to stand on Yuan Shao's side and did not contribute.

As long as the camp of the Kwantung princes wins, they can also get a certain amount of military merit. Although there are not many military merits that can be obtained, there is no need to consume a few troops.

"Isn't Zhao Long the lord who supports me Yuan Shao? Why did he also go to Cao Apu's place? ”

Yuan Shao was dissatisfied with Zhao Long, the Taishou of Wei County in Jizhou, and it was precisely because Zhao Long supported him that he started an incident in Luoyang and called on the world's soldiers and horses to crusade against Dong Zhuo.

Xu You said: "These aliens are extremely cunning, you can't trust them too much, the lord should plan Jizhou and establish his own power." Jizhou has a large population and abundant products, which is a fertile land given by God to the lord. ”

Yuan Shao listened to Xu You's words and fell into deep thought. He is now a chariot general, which sounds very imposing, but in fact he does not own territory like a group of Taishou, the prime minister, and the assassin history.

Before Luoyang was occupied, he took 100,000 soldiers and horses from Luoyang, and after the crusade against Dong Zhuo was over, how could he feed 100,000 people without territory?

Yuan Shao began to plan for the future, when the alliance of the Kwantung princes who really crusaded against Dong Zhuo was established!

There were a total of four Eastern Han Dynasty princes, Cao Cao, Sun Jian, Liu Bei, Bao Xin, six inhuman princes, and several lords participated in the storming of Tiger Pass!

Their purpose is to completely destroy the morale of the defenders of the Tiger Prison Pass, and then drive straight into Luoyang!

The ten princes, except for Sun Jian, who suffered heavy losses, each sent 10,000 troops, a total of 100,000 people!

The other lords pieced together a hundred thousand men.

The number of troops storming the Tiger Prison Pass reached a staggering 200,000!

"The front of the Tiger Prison Pass is not very wide, so it can be divided into ten siege teams, each with 20,000 people, taking turns to attack and respond."

"I estimate that the morale of the Xiliang Legion in Tiger Pass has dropped below 40, as long as we attack repeatedly, once the morale of the defenders of Tiger Pass drops to 20 or lower, they will retreat, or even flee. There are so many of us, on average, not many soldiers die. ”

Chu Tian was in charge of the command of this attack, and he knew Cao Cao, Sun Jian, and Liu Bei at the same time, so it was easier to coordinate.

Even if the morale of the Xiliang defenders was low, the attack on Tiger Prison Pass would still kill and wound a large number of soldiers, but Ci was not in charge of the troops. Since you have decided to participate in the storming of the Tiger Prison Pass, you must be mentally prepared for the annihilation of the whole army!

Chutian sent Zhou Yafu and Li Guang to command 10,000 foot archers to attack the Tiger Pass.

The 200,000 army assembled under the Tiger Pass, divided into ten echelons, and under the cover of various siege equipment, they took turns to attack the Tiger Pass!

Through continuous attrition, the morale of the defenders of the Tiger Prison Pass will be reduced, and the defenders of the Pass will abandon the Pass and flee!

"They really plan to attack Tiger Prison!"

"Unbelievable, that's a fifteen-meter-high Xiongguan, the gateway to the east of Luoyang City!"

The lords who did not participate in the storming of the Tiger Prison Pass witnessed Chu Tian and a group of powerful princes joining forces, and they actually put together an army of 200,000 in style, intending to capture the Xiongguan with one blow and drive straight in!

Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Kong Ling, Kong Rong, Yuan Yi, Han Fu and other princes had a feeling of being abandoned, but they would not participate in such a thankless task.

The Tiger Prison Pass is the world's male pass, and it will definitely hit the head and break the bloodstream.

Chutian, Mingguan, Zhao Long, Tongque, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Jian, Bao Xin and other ten princes stood side by side, sitting in the Chinese army, watching the 200,000 army attack the Tiger Pass, talking and laughing.

Unlike Yuan Shao and other princes, they were willing to invest their troops. Because they know that if no one takes the initiative to take the lead, then the crusade against Dong Zhuo is just empty talk.

So they came up with the idea of setting up another alliance to fight against Dong, and only then did they have the real Kwantung Princes Alliance!

Except for Bao Xin, who joined forces with Cao Cao, these princes are all outstanding!

With the ten princes in hand, Cao Cao squinted his small eyes, looked at the majesty of the Tiger Prison Pass, and said, "Dong Zhuo is extremely stupid. Even if the morale of the Xiliang Legion declines, if there are still 200,000 troops stationed in the Tiger Prison Pass, personally sitting in the town, in order to show that they will never retreat, the soldiers are of the same heart, although there are millions of people, the Tiger Prison Pass cannot be pulled out. However, Dong Zhuo personally withdrew his troops and fled far away from the pass, and the Tiger Prison guard must have thought that he was abandoned by Dong Zhuo, so he retreated. I'll win. ”

Chu Tian added: "Not only that. Dong Zhuo plans to burn Luoyang and loot people and property, what should the defenders of Tiger Prison think? The soldiers and horses of Guanzhong and Xiliang looted Luoyang, each got what they needed, but the defenders of Hujiao Pass not only sold their lives, but also had no way to participate in the division of property. The spoils are unevenly distributed, and once our army attacks, the defenders of Tiger Prison Pass should retreat immediately within three days. ”

Cao Cao and Chu Tian sang and harmonized, and the princes present were very wary of the two.

These two people are the first lord and the first lord of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the relationship seems to be very harmonious.

Chu Tian regarded Cao Cao as a strong enemy in his heart. Xuzhou and Yanzhou are adjacent to each other, and sooner or later the two of them will have a fight. It's just that at that time, it is unknown who killed the deer.

On the Tiger Prison Pass, the generals who defended the city were Xu Rong, Li Dao, and Hua Xiong, who were ordered by Dong Zhuo to leave 50,000 soldiers and horses to guard the Tiger Prison Pass, as well as the queen of the palace.

Dong Zhuo's apparent abandonment of them made the three guards uneasy.

The morale of their 50,000 regiments had fallen to the bottom.

The good deeds of plundering Luoyang City did not fall on the heads of their army, and many soldiers complained about it.

An army of 200,000 is displayed below the Tiger Pass.

Originally, Xu Rong was sure that he could defend the Tiger Prison Pass, but now it is difficult to say, he found that Li Dao and Hua Xiong were already concerned about guarding the Tiger Prison, and seemed to want to give up the Tiger Prison Pass and go to Luoyang as soon as possible.

"Siege!"

The sound of war drums echoed in the Tiger Pass, and the real Kwantung princes' coalition launched an attack!

The tall siege towers slowly advanced towards the Tiger Prison Pass, and the chariots covered the infantry and archers as they approached the walls!

At the same time, Chu Tian ordered Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun to show off their might under the Tiger Prison Pass, which made the defenders of the Tiger Prison Pass fear them, and their morale dropped again!

The 200,000-strong army was divided into ten groups, like a tide, and attacked the Tiger Prison Pass one after another, each time killing and wounding hundreds of people and then retreating, and the second group of troops followed.

The ten princes leisurely watched the 200,000-strong army attack again and again in the Chinese army, and did not stop for a moment.

When night came, the ten princes again had their torches set up and continue the attack. Each phalanx of 20,000 men attacked for an hour, and then the ten princes fell asleep.

This offensive lasted three days and nights.

The Xiliang defenders of Tiger Prison Pass could hardly bear the torture of the Kwantung coalition army. They could not relax, because they did not know when the Kwantung princes would gather several phalanxes at the same time and launch a strong attack.

The initiative of the offensive was in the hands of the ten princes, who could increase the number of troops invested at any time and put pressure on the Tiger Pass.

"The lord is ready to burn Luoyang City, my Flying Bear Army has no morale, and if I don't leave, I'm afraid the whole army will be wiped out."

Li Dao offered to give up the Tiger Prison Pass.

Xu Rong rejected Li Wei's request: "What should we do if we abandon the Tiger Prison Pass and the Kwantung Coalition Army drives straight in?" ”

Hua Xiong was a little irritable: "The lord has decided to abandon the Tiger Prison, and if we continue to stay here, won't we become prisoners of others?" ”

Li Dao and Hua Xiong advocated retreat, but Xu Rong, who served as the main general, knew that giving up the Tiger Prison Pass was equivalent to opening the floodgates, and the princes of Guandong would frantically pour into Heluo and drive directly to Luoyang.

At Xu Rong's insistence, Li Dao and Hua Xiong reluctantly stayed.

On the third day, at night, danger was approaching.

Chu Tian, Cao Cao, Ming Guan, Liu Bei and others saw that the timing was about the same, and this time they did not use harassment tactics, but replaced them with the main fierce generals, and they wanted to completely break the morale of the Tiger Prison guards tonight!

Chutian sent Zhou Yafu, Li Guang, Xue Rengui, Zhao Yun, and Hua Mulan.

Cao Cao sent Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan, Dian Wei, Le Jin, and Cao Hong.

Liu Bei sent Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, and Ashina Sheer.

Mingguan sent three generals.

Zhao Long sent Shi Wansui.

Tongque sent Liu Gaozhi, the general of the Beifu Army.

Huma sent Lian Po.

Sun Jian was even more fierce, and personally took the four generals of Jiangdong to ascend first, intending to defeat Xu Rong in a shameful manner.

Bao Xin sent out to ban.

There was also an Inhuman prince who sent Pan Mei.

The lineup of ten powerful princes in this battle is so luxurious, I am afraid that even in the whole world, there are only a handful!
