Swallowing the pain, the herald continued, "The number of enemies is indeed small, but their ranged attacks are very powerful, and the hundreds of archers defending the north gate have almost all been shot clean, and without the archers, we simply cannot stop them from attacking."

"What did you say? I remember there was a battalion of archers at the north gate, and all six hundred of them were shot?"

"Yes, although the city gate has not been broken, the thief army is so arrogant that our soldiers don't even dare to climb the city tower, so they ask the prime minister to quickly send troops to support."

Dong Zhuo looked at Dong Min and asked, "Second brother, what do you think?"

"How can you see it, how else can you see it?" Dong Min said disapprerovingly: "The city is shooting above the city, and there are only more than 200 people, how can it be possible to achieve such a result?"

Dong Zhuo thought about it carefully and said, "Maybe the other party has two or three powerful generals who are good at using bows and arrows, and if he continues to shoot, he can indeed kill hundreds of archers...... However, there are only a few soldiers and horses, and they can only harass the city wall, and they are not capable of breaking through the defense line of the city wall."

"That being said, we can't let the enemy be presumptuous under the pass, otherwise it will only affect the morale of our army...... Dong Min said: "In that case, I'll go there myself, give me five hundred tiger cavalry, and I'll rush out of the pass to wipe out these enemy troops!"

Dong Zhuo shook his head and said, "No, our army only needs to guard the gate and wait for Li Dao's reinforcements...... The other party deliberately sent more than 200 people to harass the city defense, I am afraid that it is intended to lure us into battle."

"What should I do?" Dong Min was a little undecided.

Dong Zhuo said, "I specially allocated 3,000 archers for you to continue shooting on the city wall and find a way to defeat the enemy. In addition, 5,000 additional infantry were sent to the north gate to prevent accidents...... These soldiers and horses are under your command, and you must not go out of the city to fight, but only need to defend the gate to drive out the enemy."

Although Dong Zhuo is brutal, he is not mediocre at all; He was able to be promoted to Liangzhou Assassin before, and that was a little bit by relying on military exploits; When he joined the army that year, Dong Zhuo can be said to have experienced a hundred battles, defeated the Huns, Xianbei people, and Qiang people several times, and shocked the frontier.

In real history, the combat effectiveness of the Xiliang Army is only comparable to Sun Jian's troops in the whole country, and to be able to train such an elite army, Dong Zhuo's ability to manage the army and train troops is beyond doubt.

Moreover, like the Xiliang Army, a strong soldier and a proud tiger and wolf army from soldiers to generals, and if Dong Zhuo was just an incompetent wine bag and rice bag, it would be impossible for them to recognize and obey him at all.

……

Xiao Qiuyu and his entourage quickly whipped up, and soon arrived at a camp in the southeast, where several people were besieging a unit of the Xiliang Army.

This is the army under the command of Han Fu, the Taishou of Jizhou, which should have been commanded by Xiao Qiuyu, but Xiao Qiuyu pretended to be sick before, so Han Fu ordered another general to rule them.

After rushing to the army, Xiao Qiuyu quickly summoned several other officers, and he shouted, "All the generals obey the order! Set off with me immediately, directly take the Tiger Prison Pass, and capture and kill the thief leader Dong Zhuo!"

Pan Feng, as a general of Jizhou, is second only to Han Fu in the army, when Han Fu is not there, Pan Feng is the supreme commander of the three armies, and the soldiers and horses of Jizhou will of course unconditionally obey Pan Feng's orders.

In addition to Han Fu's army, there were tens of thousands of horses and horses of several other princes here, but Xiao Qiuyu only set off with Jizhou soldiers, firstly, he did not have the authority to order the troops of other princes, and secondly, he did not want to give half of the great credit for breaking through the Tiger Prison Pass to others for no reason.

Han Fu brought 16,000 soldiers and horses this time, and many soldiers had been killed in the previous fierce battles, but now this army is only more than 10,000, and in the Tiger Prison Pass, there should be tens of thousands of defenders......

But Xiao Qiuyu doesn't care, there are still 60,000 troops under Cao Cao in the west of the Tiger Prison Pass, as long as he takes the lead in attacking the city and breaking the enemy's city defenses, he can immediately make the enemy army fall into a state of chaos and collapse, and when the Cao army outside the city surges, it can immediately engulf the Tiger Prison Pass!

When Xiao Qiuyu arrived, the tunnel was about to be opened, and Xiao Qiuyu ordered the soldiers to be stationed here and stand by, and once the time was ripe, they would immediately attack the city.

When Xiao Qiuyu arrived with the army, the tunnel had been dug through, and Xiao Qiuyu shouted, "The whole army is attacking!"

Xiao Qiuyu led the heavily armored cavalry into the city through the tunnel first, and the other infantry followed one after another.

In siege warfare, cavalry obviously can't be used, but the elite heavy armored cavalry is also a first-class infantry elite when dismounted.

After rushing into the gate, these elite warriors pounced on the enemy in front of them like tigers out of the gate. The heavy armor swords and swords on their bodies can only leave small cracks, but their attacks can easily tear apart the enemies in front of them...... After all, these armor and weapons were produced in the Song Dynasty, and the metallurgical technology was more than 800 years behind, and it was completely a two-level thing.

Dong Min let out a loud shout and personally rushed to the battlefield, this elite army that was only killed from the tunnel was abnormal, and it was difficult for ordinary troops to defeat it. They must be stopped as soon as possible, otherwise once they bring in the army outside the gate, the outcome will be very bad.

Seeing the word "Dong Min" written on the battle flag carried by the enemy's generals, Xiao Qiuyu's eyes suddenly lit up!

"It's Dong Min!"

Xiao Qiuyu was overjoyed, and couldn't even control the blossoming of happiness, who is Dong Min? That's Dong Zhuo's younger brother, although he is not a powerful general, but his status is of great significance...... If you kill Dong Zhuo's younger brother, this is a great achievement, not even less than breaking through the Tiger Prison!

Just do it, Xiao Qiuyu relied on the top light skills to fly directly to the wall, and rushed to Dong Min's side after dividing five by two......

The sword light of the Yuanhong Sword flashed several phantoms, Xiao Qiuyu showed his exquisite swordsmanship, although the Soul Shattering Scythe was incomparably powerful, but Xiao Qiuyu was not easy to use after all, and his combat skills for the scythe were far less thorough than his mastery of swordsmanship.

The cold sword light reflected the killing power of Sen Sen, especially when Xiao Qiuyu was swinging the sword, he used the stunt "Dragon Vein Sword Qi" of Zuo Yan, and countless golden sword qi constantly cooperated with the Yuanhong Sword in Xiao Qiuyu's hand to attack.

Dong Min's martial arts skills are too far behind Xu Rong...... Even if it is compared to Hua Xiong, it is far inferior, after only five or six rounds of fighting, Xiao Qiuyu has already penetrated his lung lobe with a sword, Dong Min suddenly coughed violently, and kept spitting out blood.
