Chapter Seventy-Four: Fierce Battle in the Tiger Prison
The drama of Wenjiu beheading Huaxiong did not appear, because of Li Xuan, although Liu Bei was the bottom force in a group of princes, Guan Yu did not really become an archer, even if Yuan Shao did not wait to see him, he was also a school captain, so naturally there would be no dilemma in the interpretation.
But it really wasn't long.
It's a pity!
This is Li Xuan's only emotion for Guan Yu to kill Huaxiong, counting, Huaxiong's martial arts are not bad, although he has not entered the king level, but he is definitely a top military general with a force value of more than 90, even if he is not defeated by Guan Yu, he can fight for a few rounds, at least he should not be killed by Guan Yu when he appears.
It's just that it seems to have been confused by the previous generals that the Kwantung generals are all of this level, and it is inevitable that there will be a love of underestimating the enemy in their hearts, until the two sides find that the opponent is not simple, but it is already too late, and Guan Yu picked up the big knife and unceremoniously cut off the horse.
Although he was defeated by Hua Xiong before, but now Guan Yu has beheaded Hua Xiong, and the lost morale has also returned, plus Bishui Pass has lost Hua Xiong, a fierce general, and only one Li Su is left, it is a good time to break through Bishui Pass, Yuan Shao no longer hesitates at the moment, and waves his troops to storm Bishui Pass.
Huaxiong was beheaded, the morale of Bishui Pass was low, Li Su hurriedly sent a request for help to Luoyang, and at the same time organized soldiers and horses to defend the city, but the coalition army was strong, and the morale of the defenders was low, Li Su was also powerless, less than a day, Sun Jian was the first to attack the city, Li Su saw that the general trend had gone, and he could only helplessly retreat to the direction of the Tiger Prison Pass with the remnants.
In real history, Tiger Prison Pass and Bishui Pass are actually the same place, but in this plane, they are divided into two levels, and Tiger Prison Pass is between Bishui Pass and Luoyang, as long as the Tiger Prison is broken. Luoyang lost the last barrier to the east, and the army could drive straight into Luoyang City.
As soon as the Bishui Pass is broken, Luoyang has begun to be turbulent, if even the Tiger Prison Pass is breached, internal and external troubles will be for Dong Zhuo's forces. It was an absolute disaster.
Dong Zhuo finally no longer cared about Lu Bu's new identity, and ordered Lu Bu to lead 10,000 wolves to ride out of the pass to meet the princes, and at the same time, Dong Zhuo personally raised 300,000 troops to force the tiger prison, preparing to fight with the coalition army under this tiger prison pass.
"Dong Zhuo personally brought troops here?" Outside the Tiger Prison Pass, Li Xuan looked at the little school who came to deliver the information in amazement.
"Yes, the news is true, the villain has to go to other military camps to report and leave." The Colonel nodded. Then he confessed and left quickly.
Li Xuan fell into deep thought, and Zhao Yun looked at Li Xuan suspiciously: "Lord, but what's the problem?" β
"Big problem!" Li Xuan straightened up and looked at Huang Rong and Zhao Min.
Huang Rong said softly: "Although it has been a while since I left Luoyang, in Luoyang City, it is by no means peaceful, although the party members and scholars are silent. But this does not mean that these people are truly obedient to Dong Zhuo, on the contrary. On weekdays, they are just forced by Dong Zhuo's power and pressure, so they can only compromise and seek perfection, Dong Zhuo is in Luoyang, even if these people have a thousand ideas in their hearts, they don't dare to act rashly, but now. Dong Zhuo not only came to the Tiger Prison in person, but also took away 300,000 troops, Luoyang's defense was empty, General Zilong felt that those scholars who had been oppressed by Dong Zhuo would do nothing? β
Zhao Min took over the conversation. Crisp said: "According to the news from the dark statistics, although the military power of Luoyang belongs to Dong Zhuo, those big families are not completely without the ability to resist, the Yuan family and the Yang family alone have nearly 5,000 people in each family, in addition, there are some large and small families, combined, if all those families are armed, it is enough to gather a team of up to 50,000 soldiers and horses!" β
"If Dong Zhuo is really defenseless, this team alone is enough to make Luoyang, which is now empty, change hands overnight!" Zhao Yun suddenly looked at Li Xuan and said: "In this way, Dong Zhuo's move is probably not to resist the enemy, but to lure out the enemy lurking in Luoyang City!" β
Li Xuan nodded: "If you go outside, you must first settle inside, although this saying is not applicable in all circumstances, but for Dong Zhuo today, he really needs a stable rear in order to concentrate his forces and deal with the Kwantung princes." β
"Then we ......" Zhao Yun looked at Li Xuan with an indifferent face with some doubts, listening to the meaning of the lord's words, it seemed that even if he knew about this matter, he had no intention of interfering.
"Wait and see, this is a conspiracy, even if we tell the news to those people, how many people will believe it? In the face of interests, people will always become irrational, and the princes of the Son of Heaven order the princes, in the face of such temptation, whether it is those people in Luoyang City or these princes in the coalition army, how many people can really deal with it indifferently? Li Xuan said with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.
When Zhao Yun heard this, he couldn't help but be silent, and he felt a little emotion in his heart, the emperor has now become a piece of fat in the eyes of the princes.
Yuan Shao arrived at the Tiger Prison Pass, he issued an order to attack, Luoyang is far from the Tiger Prison Pass, if the army marches in a hurry, it only takes one day to arrive, if you can rush before Dong Zhuo arrives, break through the Tiger Prison Pass, Luoyang can go down in ten days, therefore, this battle, he spared no expense, the headquarters of the troops and horses took turns to attack the city.
The alliance leaders were desperate, and the other princes naturally had no reason to be lazy, and all the troops and horses were sent to attack the Tiger Prison Pass in turn.
Tiger Prison Pass guard Han Meng, when Dong Zhuo commanded a fierce general, a long time in battle, with the help of the power of Xiongguan, the princes of the alliance of the army under the Xiongguan for half a day, in the face of the fierce attack of the princes, not at all, plus Li Ru brought the Bianshui Pass rout, although it is not enough to go out of the city to fight, but the words to defend the city are enough, Rao is the fierce generals under the command of all the princes, and Liu Bei, who is more meritorious, led the two righteous brothers to go into battle in person, and it was difficult to conquer this Xiongguan for a while.
"Success or failure is in this move, the princes will go into battle with me personally, command the troops, and before sunset, this tiger prison will be broken!" Yuan Shao is obviously a little anxious, limited by the terrain, although the coalition army has millions of soldiers, but there are not many troops that can be put into the battlefield at one time, and they can only attack the city with refueling tactics, which is a taboo for soldiers and soldiers, and it is also the most consuming tactic, but at the moment, in addition to the strong attack, Yuan Shao can not think about it, so he can only ask the princes to take out the elite soldiers under his command and work together to break through the tiger prison.
Although most of them were reluctant, the princes also knew that it was time for a decisive battle, so they did not delay, and each sent their elite troops to attack together.
The elite soldiers and horses of all families were on the ground, Han Meng suddenly felt a little unbearable, in just half an hour, the elite of the coalition army almost rushed to the city wall several times, if it were not for Han Meng's bravery, personally led the guards to constantly wander on the city wall, and killed the coalition troops who rushed to the city, I am afraid that the Tiger Prison Pass has changed hands at this moment.
"Kill!" Han Meng slashed out a sword-length blade with an axe, smashing all the ladders behind a Danyang elite soldier who had just climbed to the top of the city, roared angrily, and rushed towards another coalition general who climbed the top of the city, killing him with an axe.
I took a hard breath and looked around, but I saw that there were more and more coalition troops rushing to the city, and if I continued like this, let alone hold out until dark, I am afraid that I would not be able to hold out for half an hour.
The Tiger Prison is related to the safety of Luoyang, and now even if he knows that he can't hold it, Han Meng can only hold on.
"Thief, don't die yet!" Just as Han Meng was about to pounce on another battlefield, there was a sudden darkness in front of him, and a burly figure appeared on the city wall at some point, and the tall figure blocked the sunlight in front of him.
Han Meng's heart couldn't help but be grabbed, as if he was attracted by the style of the knife that contained the mystery of the universe, and even forgot to dodge and resist, until the other party's knife came, he reacted and was shocked.
"Bang~" Guan Yu's Qinglong Yanyue Knife finally failed to successfully slash Han Meng, and a yellow dragon hook sickle was horizontal in front of Han Meng, and at the last moment, it was a must-kill blow for Han Meng to block Guan Yu.
Guan Yu didn't expect that in Dong Zhuo's army, since Huaxiong, there were fierce generals, squinting at the people who came, it was an unknown small colonel, and he couldn't help but be surprised, but he didn't listen to the movements in his hands, and the big knife was cut horizontally, and he still took Han Meng's head.
At this moment, Han Meng also reacted, roared angrily, and the big axe slashed in the air, but he wanted to hit Guan Yu hard and slash Guan Yu.
"Bang~" was another bang, the entire Tiger Prison seemed to tremble in this blow, Han Meng was shocked by the huge force and spurted blood from his mouth, flying upside down, the burly body hit the city tower fiercely, almost didn't catch his breath, fainted, Guan Yu dragged the knife and chased, as long as he killed Han Meng, the main general of the Tiger Prison, it was the first attack to break the Tiger Prison.
The figure in front of him flickered, and the little colonel who had saved Han Meng before stopped in front of Guan Yu again, and the golden gun in his hand was distracted and stabbed, Guan Yu's big knife swirled, shaking the opponent's golden gun away, but the right hand that dragged the knife was a little numb, and he looked at the little colonel in surprise, and said in a deep voice: "A certain knife does not kill the nameless person, report the name." β
Guan Yu and Lu Bu have a striking resemblance in some aspects, the same arrogance and awe-inspiring, people who have not reached a certain Cheng dΓΉ, the other party is not even too lazy to take a look, only when the strength reaches a certain Cheng dΓΉ, can they be qualified to let the other party face it, and the little colonel in front of him, who blocked himself twice, has obviously also been valued by Guan Yu.
"A certain Yanmen Zhang Liao!" The little colonel looked cold and handsome, and as soon as he unfurled the golden gun, he stopped in front of Guan Yu.
Guan Yu laughed loudly, and didn't say more, the Qinglong Yanyue knife danced, fighting with Zhang Liao in one place, although Zhang Liao was brave, but in the face of Guan Yu was a little dwarfed, after ten moves, it was already in danger, on the other side, Han Meng was back angry, seeing that Zhang Liao was dangerous, he also rose up and braved, brandished a big axe and stepped forward, and Zhang Liao fought Guan Yu.
"Boom~"
Just when the three of them were fighting, the suspension bridge of the Tiger Prison Pass fell without warning, and many coalition soldiers who had no time to dodge were directly smashed into flesh by the heavy suspension bridge, and at the same time, the city gate of the Tiger Prison Pass was slowly opened.
Han Meng, who was fighting, heard the sound of the city gate opening, and was furious, and said sharply: "Who dares to open the city!?" (To be continued......)
