Chapter 45: Zhang Jiao's "Help"
It was not Gao Chong's cowardice, but it was because his lord had already ordered that Lu Bu could avoid the battle on the city wall. If it is said that it is other generals, Gao Chong may still have the intention of going up and trying it, but he has personally experienced the head-to-head with Lu Bu, how can he not know how terrifying this Lu Bu is.
The corresponding city wall of Mingyue City was guarded by Lu Bu, and Xu Yang soon received the news from the front. However, with his eyesight, he didn't find Lu Bu after searching for a long time, but Xu Yang didn't let Gao Chong rush directly, after all, fighting bravely and being dead are two different concepts. At this time, the enemy clearly opened his pockets and waited, and at this time he went up to deliver food.
"Han Sheng, Yun Chang, the two of you are here to suppress the formation, I have something to do when I return to the camp......" Because the country's dragon and snake warship has not yet returned, Xu Yang can only touch the yellow paper talisman in his hand, explain to the two of them and leave.
In this kind of siege battle, it is actually enough for Huang Zhong to suppress the formation here, and Guan Yu is more of a role to play as a supporter. Gao Chong didn't go up himself, but he also grabbed Gan Ning, and even the Scattered Star Elite didn't rush up......
Compared to the slow progress on the side of Bright Moon City, the alliance army can be described as a rainbow of morale. First of all, Gongsun Zhan's troops attacked the city wall first, and then the player team rushed forward like crazy, and suddenly messed up Niu Fu's troops. Jiangdong famous general Cheng Pu, a snake spear in the face of Li Dao, Guo Yan two generals are not the slightest behind, it can be said that according to this momentum, even if you don't get off the tiger prison today, you can have seven or eight points of certainty tomorrow.
"Hahaha, although this Tiger Prison Pass is the best pass in the world, but in front of the righteous division of our coalition army, it is only Er'er......" Seeing that the five-way army had already climbed the city wall in three ways, Yuan Shao said complacently.
In terms of strength, the alliance army is definitely above Dong Zhuo. After all, Dong Zhuo is just a prince all the way, and he is strong and a good tiger can't stand up to the wolves. In addition, the alliance army has suffered previous defeats, and this time everyone is holding back the fire to fight, it can be said that every charge is related to the face of all the princes, and this battle is even more desperate. If the princes of the Eighteen Roads are no match for this Dong Zhuojun, then the eighteen can really go home to wash and sleep.
Compared with Yuan Shao's optimism, Cao Cao on the side was more calm. The military general he sent was still slowly leading the troops forward, every step was extremely steady, and he had only just reached the bottom of the Tiger Prison Pass until now, which could be said to be not brilliant at all.
Hearing Yuan Shao's words, Cao Cao said with some concern: "Alliance leader, this Tiger Prison Pass is the world's strongest pass, and Dong Zhuo has sent many famous generals and a large number of troops this time. Not to mention that Lu Bu hadn't shown up before, this person guarding the pass was obviously estimated to bring us closer to the city battle of this tiger prison, so let's not be careless! ”
Cao Cao's words made Yuan Shao feel displeased, and his face was a little ugly and said: "I think it is Meng De that your soldiers are not effective, and they have been robbed of the limelight by the princes from all walks of life, so deliberately find some excuses for yourself!" ”
Regarding Yuan Shao's words, Cao Cao did not defend much. The two of them have played since childhood, if you want to say who knows Yuan Shao best in this world, then Cao Cao is definitely in that small group of people, and from beginning to end Cao Cao regards Yuan Shao as his lifelong enemy, but judging from today's events, Cao Cao can't help but despise Yuan Shao a little in his heart.
On the other hand, Kong Rong, who also did not attack the city wall, gave full play to his characteristics as a good man and said: "Alliance leader, Meng De, it is true that this Tiger Prison Pass is the best pass in the world, but the Xiliang Army is also raised by his mother and father after all, and when he encounters such a fierce attack by my coalition army, I am afraid that he will not have enough spare strength." Let's Shaoqing look at it again, Shaoqing look at it again......"
Just when some of the alliance forces were proud, some cautious, and some were in the mud, Xu Yang came to his camp and ordered the soldiers not to disturb him.
Gently tap the rune paper in his hand, and after a while, he "stands" in front of Xu Yang.
"Master Hou, this time is the time when the two armies are fighting, contact Lao Dao at this time, I'm afraid there is something important, right?" After Zhang Jiao's phantom appeared, he immediately asked.
For Zhang Jiaohui's magical means, Xu Yang didn't take it seriously at all. If Zhang Jiao doesn't even have this ability, then what kind of demon is it?
"Great sage and good teacher, since we are an alliance, shouldn't we benefit each other?" Xu Yang said straight to the point.
Zhang Jiao's face was flat, and an arc quietly appeared between the corners of his mouth, and he asked with interest: "I don't know what the master has ...... plan?"
Xu Yang calmly said his thoughts, the two looked at each other and smiled, and soon "hung up" the call.
The battle on the Tiger Pass continued, and after an hour of fighting, heavy weapons such as catapults never stopped, and the arrows of the two armies poured down as if they didn't want money. The player team is also said to be the most hilarious of the two armies, among which the player camp of the alliance army attacked the tiger prison wall several times, and then was frantically pounced by the players on Dong Zhuojun's side. This has happened four or five times in one hour.
And Xuanyuan Wuji, one of the princes of the Eighteen Roads, also secretly commanded his subordinate player forces and unleashed his breath on various parts of the city wall. As one of the Eighteen Princes, Xuanyuan Wuji naturally got more information than the player, and he was able to grasp which section of the city wall was relatively weak in a timely manner, and then let his subordinate forces launch a fierce attack, which was much more effective than blindly attacking and attacking.
On the wall of the Tiger Prison, the most depressed people now are Lu Bu and Zhang Fei. Among them, Lu Bu observed the movements of Mingyue City from the beginning of the battle, because he kept warning himself in his heart that he must not let the two powerful generals of Mingyue City go to the city wall, otherwise he may not be able to clean them up on the city wall without the blessing of the Red Rabbit Horse. Therefore, at the beginning, Lu Bu set up a trap, a trap for Mingyue City, but the troops of Mingyue City fought for a long time and only sent cannon fodder to the city wall.
In this situation, Lu Bu only felt that he had hit the cotton with a fist, and there was no place for his skills to be displayed. He knew that the elites of Bright Moon City must be watching him there, but where were they? He didn't know, just like Bright Moon City couldn't find him now.
Zhang Fei's depression is his own ability, coupled with his proud voice, he was beaten by the black-armored army in front of him without any temper at all. The alliance soldiers around him have changed batch after batch, and the little elite soldiers that the eldest brother has worked so hard to save are constantly being consumed, but his invincible spear can't play a role.
"Don't be that little er, don't you just dare to hide behind the shrunken turtle, you have the ability to fight with your grandfather Zhang!" Zhang Fei, who had been fighting for a long time, had already discovered Gao Shun in the ghost-faced wolf tooth mask, and turned on his most powerful voice to shout angrily at Gao Shun.
This sound spread throughout the city wall, but unfortunately Zhang Fei's rough agitation method was really useless. Gao Shun: Who is that? That's a guy who is rigid and stupid, not to mention that Gao Shun himself is not good at heads-up, even if he is good at it, it is impossible for him to fight with the big black face on the opposite side with such an advantage.
Also heard Zhang Fei's voice, as well as Niu Fu and a group of generals from the Tiger Prison. The generals laughed uncontrollably, after all, everyone knows the current situation very well, although the black-faced one is brave, and the troops around him are also elite, but in front of Gao Shun's trapped camp, it really can't make any waves.
At this moment, a flash of light flashed, and a large number of soldiers suddenly came out of the originally deactivated teleportation array in the Tiger Prison Pass. Different from Dong Zhuojun's standard armor, these soldiers wore simple clothes, revealing their sturdy bodies, and each holding a hideous mace in their hands, at first glance, they knew that they were elite soldiers.
In front of these soldiers was an old man with two generals. Lao Dao was holding a ninth-order tin staff in his hand, who was it not Zhang Jiao.
The soldiers guarding the teleportation array were frightened by this sudden scene, and were about to give a warning when they heard Zhang Jiao say: "Go and tell your family General Niu Fu, Yanshan Zhang Jiao is coming to help!" ”
As soon as the soldiers heard that they were claiming to be reinforcements, and saw that the soldiers behind them were all fierce and vicious, they also stood there in an orderly manner, and hurriedly left to report.
After a while, Niu Fu led the generals who had not participated in the battle on the front line to the teleportation array.
"Great Sage and Good Master, you are really here...... With the assistance of the Great Sage and Good Master Yellow Turban Sect, the Battle of Tiger Prison Pass will definitely end soon......" Niu Fu had an expectant face, and hurriedly stepped forward and said enthusiastically.
Regarding Niu Fu's enthusiasm, Zhang Jiao also expressed a very positive expression: "General Niu, Poor Daoben and Dong Xiangguo agreed to send troops in two days, but today Poor Dao pinched his fingers, and I am afraid that there will be a big change above the Tiger Prison Pass, so I came in advance, and I hope General Niu can understand......
Although Zhang Jiao said this politely, Niu Fu was shocked to hear it. He knew about the Yellow Turban Church's support, but he didn't expect the other party to come so quickly, and the great sage and good teacher also said that there would be changes in the Tiger Prison Pass! If someone else said this, Niu Fu would definitely pull him out to correct the military law, but who is this in front of him? He had heard of Zhang Jiao's almost immortal methods when he was in Guangzong, and the words spoken by this person could inexplicably add some credibility.
Subsequently, Niu Fu told Zhang Jiao about the current battle in Tiger Pass, but he also said in his words that he had controlled the situation in Tiger Pass, and there were still a large number of elite reserves and means that had not been used, just to let the enemy fall into the bitter battle of Tiger Pass!
After hearing this, Zhang Jiao did not reply directly, put away the ninth-order tin staff and began to pinch his fingers continuously, and only after a long time did he speak: "It's not good General Niu, this alliance army is out in five ways, but the real killing machine is not on the three roads that attack the city wall...... I wonder if the poor road can go to the city to see? ”
How could Niu Fu refuse such a thing, so he hurriedly asked people to help settle the troops brought by Zhang Jiao, and led Zhang Jiao and the two generals behind him to the front line to have a look......
Lu Bu, who had been waiting quietly on the city wall for a long time, had gradually lost his patience, after all, Lu Bu was just a simple martial artist, and fighting on the battlefield was his forte, but he was really not good at this kind of work of quietly waiting for the enemy.
Just when Lu Bu's cat was gradually losing patience behind the city wall, a soldier stepped forward and whispered a few words in Lu Bu's ear, Lu Bu's eyes showed a burst of puzzlement, and he immediately left directly with Fang Tian's halberd.
Not long after Lu Bu left his position, Xu Yang also returned to the front line of Bright Moon City. Sensing the clear "movement" of the yellow paper talisman in his hand, Xu Yang said to Guan Yu beside him: "Yun Chang, you follow the troops to the front and kill the city wall with General Gao Chong!" Remember, if you see Lu Bu, you can retreat immediately......"
It's not that Xu Yang doesn't trust Zhang Jiao, but that he still has to care about the lives of his generals, and other people's concerns are all fake.
With Lu Bu's departure, the scattered star elite led by Gao Chong quickly hit the city wall, and it only took half an hour to lay a hundred-meter-long city wall. However, after such a result, the troops of Bright Moon City did not continue to expand the results, as if they were met with an inexplicable resistance.
Huang Zhong, who was watching everything below, asked with some puzzlement: "Lord, why don't we continue to increase our attacks." There are three tiger generals on the city wall, Yun Chang, General Gao and Gan Ning, and it is no problem to take down an entire section of the city wall? ”
Xu Yang can also understand Huang Zhong's thoughts, although the current Han is tossed by Dong Zhuo, it is still orthodox in the world after all. Even if Huang Zhong is already loyal to himself, he will have doubts in the face of such righteousness.
"Han Sheng, this time with the alliance of the princes, our Mingyue City is independent and external, there are many benefits in this!" Xu Yang said thoughtlessly, "You also know that the strength of this alliance army is indeed strong, but the people are not united and the team is loose. Relatively speaking, the soldiers of Mingyue City are brave in battle or secondary, and it is particularly important that the government decrees are unified and not easy to fall apart! But Hansheng, have you ever thought that if I let Mingyue City face Dong Zhuo's pressure alone, it might be a confrontation? ”
Huang Zhong frowned, and his heart couldn't help but tighten. He only thought about things at the operational level, and he didn't think about things outside the battlefield at all, but Huang Zhong was not stupid, but Xu Yang immediately understood it. If Mingyue City shines in the Battle of Tiger Pass, it will inevitably attract more attention from Dong Zhuojun at that time. As for the Union Army? Those people were originally the eighteen princes of the eighteen roads, and they would still be idle when they saw the excitement?
After figuring out the trick, Huang Zhong's voice was much quieter and asked, "Lord, what should we do next?" ”
Xu Yang smiled slightly and said, "Of course, earn the record first...... Grabbing land or something is too eye-catching, since Yuan Meng's master likes it, let them touch this brow! ”
Regarding Xu Yang's words, Huang Zhong nodded in understanding, and stopped asking. However, Xu Yang looked at the number of Dong Zhuojun who were constantly killed, and he was extremely happy. Although he didn't know what he needed to do to defeat Dong Zhuo after the change in the content of the mission of "Self-Reliance", he was still very happy to see his camp's points soaring.
After seeing the situation on the city wall, Zhang Jiao immediately suggested to Niu Fu that he adjust the trap camp to meet the unhurried siege troops below. Niu Fu didn't want to agree at first, after all, compared to the snail-like troops, Zhang Fei, who killed on the city wall, was obviously more lethal.
But Zhang Jiao's next few spells fell on that army in succession, but they only slowed down the marching speed of this army slightly, and then there was no more. Seeing this scene, Niu Fu immediately discovered the extraordinaryness of this army, you must know that the one standing on the city wall now is a master whose spells can shake the earth, although the two spells just now were thrown casually, but this also shows that the army below is definitely not so ordinary on the surface.
"This ...... Zhang Guoshi, what's going on? Niu Fu thought about it for a long time, and finally came up with the title of Zhang Guoshi. After all, Zhang Jiao was sent out by Dong Xiangguo's edict this time, and he couldn't call him a great sage and good teacher like the Yellow Turban Sect, but he couldn't lower his status. In the end, I thought of this title, which is also suitable for the current relationship between the two.
Zhang Jiao smiled and said: "The leading generals of this army are calm and calm, and although the troops are moving slowly, they have an unstoppable momentum. Once this army is allowed to enter the city, I am afraid that the general trend will be gone. As for the black-faced man that General Niu was worried about, when Poor Dao heard that Wen Hou was invincible in front of the Tiger Prison, he must have easily broken it by recalling Wen Hou. General Niu must know that if such a force is allowed to attack, you and I will be powerless at that time. ”
Who's going to do it? Anyone can bear it, but Niu Fu must not bear it himself. He knows Dong Zhuo very well, and if he wins the battle, he will definitely be rewarded generously, and he can say anything. But if it really doesn't fight well, then Lu Bu is almost unshakeable in the Xiliang Army with his bravery, but what about himself? Where is your own value? At that time, if Li Ru, who was beside Dong Xiangguo, added a sentence or two casually, the biggest fault of this tiger prison would be firmly above his head.
"Quick, quickly ask Wen Hou to come to help, and raise the general's camp to guard against the troops that are about to enter the city...... In addition, closely watch the direction of Mingyue City, before noon, the loss of the city wall must not exceed 200 meters. If there is a special situation, come and report to me immediately......" Niu Fu issued a series of orders, and soon there were heralds to pass the order.
Niu Fu must know Lu Bu's whereabouts, which is why he said a little more to monitor the movements of Mingyue City. As everyone knows, these orders of his were heard clearly by Zhang Jiao, and Xu Yang under Mingyue City quickly shared these news through his allies......
Cao Cao's troops on the march below, the leading generals were not obvious, but after Zhang Jiao dropped a few spells, he still commanded the troops to move forward slowly.
"Prepare to enter the city, everyone will follow the preparatory battle plan!" The leading general gave an order, and Cao Cao's troops changed their momentum in an instant. If it was a slow snail before, now it's a cheetah ready to show its fangs!
