Chapter 181: Into the Tiger Prison
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 80,000 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 rushes up, 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.
Under the serious injury, Dong Min was already difficult to defend, and dozens of golden sword qi staggered and slashed, sweeping towards Dong Min's whole body, and quickly cut the armor on his body into countless pieces.
The shouts of killing around him were still fierce, and countless soldiers rushed towards Xiao Qiuyu, he shook his head, quickly left this place, and headed towards the city gate.
After rushing into the vicinity of the city gate, Xiao Qiuyu put away the Yuanhong Sword again and retrieved the Soul Shattering Scythe, a huge scythe that slashed, slashed, swept, and hung, frantically harvesting the lives around the Soul Breaker...... Although the sword is exquisite, it is far less powerful and domineering than such a huge scythe in group battles, and the enemy will be frightened to the slightest sight of that huge scythe.
Several groups of soldiers around also rushed over, and after easily sweeping away the surrounding enemies, dozens of soldiers firmly protected the surroundings and resisted the enemy's tidal attack, while several elite soldiers activated the mechanism under the command of Xiao Qiuyu and opened the thick city gate little by little.
After Dong Min was killed, the army here lost its command, and suddenly became a mess, several generals fought separately, lost overall coordination, and once the city gate was opened, the Jizhou army outside the city suddenly rushed in like a tide, and immediately killed the Xiliang army all the way to defeat.
The era of hot weapons is different from the era of cold weapons, in which street fighting is the perfect battlefield to snipe enemies, such as the Battle of Stalingrad, where gunmen hiding in buildings will constantly plot against enemies who invade the tunnels. The powerful tanks and heavy artillery of the German army were completely unusable in the city station, and the Soviet army relied on every street, every building, and even every ruin to block the advance of the German army, and simply relied on street fighting to exhaust the main force of the German army.
However, in the era of cold weapons, once the city wall is breached, the blow to the morale and morale of the army is extremely fatal, and once the large enemy army enters the city, it will immediately cause the defender's army to be demoralized.
In history, there has been almost no case in Cold Weapon warfare where the defender relied on street fighting to repel the enemy after the city was broken.
Although Xiao Qiuyu only had more than 10,000 soldiers in the city, his vision in the city was extremely narrow, and no one knew how many enemies he had attacked.
Because Cao Cao was storming the West Gate, Dong Zhuo sent the most elite troops in the city and almost all the generals to defend the West Gate, and there was only one Dong Min and more than 10,000 second-rate troops at the North Gate......
Such a unit was directly beheaded by Xiao Qiuyu at the beginning of the war, and after losing its command, it was a mess, and in the face of the swarming army, it was immediately killed and completely defeated.
"Report, tell the prime minister, the north gate is broken, and the rebels are pouring into the city!"
"What? What about Dong Min?" Hearing that the city was broken, Dong Zhuo was immediately shocked.
"General Dong Min has been killed in battle, and the enemy army is rushing to kill him, so please flee."
"Damn!! Dong Zhuo angrily flipped the table, "These arrogant traitors, I will kill them all."
Although Dong Zhuo was cruel and unkind, he was still very good to his family, and when he learned that his younger brother had been killed, he immediately fell into a state of rage.
"Prime Minister...... The enemy will kill you immediately, or let's run away!"
There were already fierce shouts of killing around him, Dong Zhuo's face changed greatly, and he ordered, "Quickly gather all the dragon and iron horsemen in the city and kill them from the east gate with me...... Also, call Lu Bu back to me, and let him cover me to break through."
After the city gate was breached, the morale of the Xiliang army had completely collapsed, so in this case, Dong Zhuo only cared about fleeing for his life, and he didn't think about the idea of fighting in the streets.
