Chapter 423: Tragic
Liang Hao's action directly led to Dong Zhuo and others' advance planning and decision to retreat to Chang'an, Liang Hao didn't care about these things, but now Liang Hao is in the palace and has taken away a lot of property.
And Liang Hao, with the help of the Yuan Shen, found the secret room in the palace, which contained many gold, silver and jewelry, all of which were collected by Liang Hao.
Everyone knows that Emperor Ling likes property and often sells officials, but when Dong Zhuo occupied Luoyang, he didn't find too much property, it turned out that Emperor Ling had his own place to place treasures, and everyone didn't know it, but now he was discovered by Liang Hao and collected it directly.
Even the belongings collected by Dong Zhuo were placed in the palace, and when Dong Zhuo sent people to prepare to transport them away the next day, he found that they were missing, which made him very angry, and directly began to search the entire imperial city, which made people panic.
Without money, Dong Zhuo directly attacked those big families in Luoyang City, if he resisted and killed directly, the entire imperial city was even more complaining for a while, but he was afraid of Dong Zhuo, and he dared not speak out.
......
Tiger Prison Pass!
"Ah!!h
With a scream, a headless corpse lay in the center of the battlefield, standing next to the corpse was a tall horse, and the one who was sitting immediately was Sun Jian, the pioneer who was ordered to attack the Tiger Prison Pass.
Since Hua Xiong killed Bao Zhong and was promoted to governor by Dong Zhuo, the generals under him were all red-eyed and wanted to make meritorious contributions.
Hu Zhen's head was sent to the allied camp, Yuan Shao was very happy to see it, after all, Bao Zhong had already folded, if Sun Jian didn't make some achievements, Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, was afraid that he would be questioned by the princes from all walks of life, so that night, Yuan Shao held a celebration banquet in his own military camp.
Last night, Liang Hao went to Luoyang, but after killing Liu Xie and collecting the property, he came back, so no one knew that Liang Hao had gone out and done a big thing, and then everyone was waiting for news from Sun Jian.
Three days later, before the Tiger Prison Pass, after three days of self-defeating to kill a general of the other party, the other party could not come out, Sun Jian saw this, and directly launched many attacks and surprise attacks, but the Tiger Prison Pass was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and they always stopped in front of the Tiger Prison Pass.
Not to mention the lack of half a result, Sun Jian's soldiers have directly lost six or seven thousand people in the past three days, all of which are the soldiers he brought out from Jiangdong, so Sun Jian's heart is dripping blood.
In order to avenge these soldiers and make meritorious contributions, Sun Jian did not flinch, and at this time Sun Jian's men and horses had already lined up to prepare for a new round of attack.
I saw Sun Jian's big hand wave, and then the war drums beat earth-shattering, and the Jiangdong sons and daughters under Sun Jian, each with red eyes, roared and carried the ladder and charged towards the Tiger Prison Pass.
When the tiger prison was closed, countless arrows flew down, and many of the soldiers who were charging fell to the ground, but the rain of arrows could not stop the pace of the soldiers' attack.
The soldiers put their shields on their heads and continued to move quickly, and Sun Jian's strong archers under the city kept firing arrows to suppress the opponent's rain of arrows.
In just a moment, many people had already rushed to the front of the city wall, braving the rain of arrows to set up a cloud ladder, and Sun Jian's vanguard men and horses, biting their blades with their teeth, quickly climbed upward.
At this time, countless boulders and rolling logs were suddenly smashed from the city wall, and with loud noises and screams, most of the soldiers on the ladder were directly smashed to pieces.
A few people dodged the attack of the boulder, but under this chaos, they were also shot into hedgehogs by the rain of arrows, and many of the same skilled soldiers also climbed the city wall, but they were immediately dismembered by the people above.
This is the difficulty of siege warfare, even if the number of attackers is more than that of the defender, but in this form, it is difficult to take down, not to mention that the troops on the city wall are far more than Sun Quan's troops, they can only be killed.
The battle lasted from morning to dusk, and Sun Quan paid the price of more than 4,000 people, and they still couldn't move an inch before the Tiger Prison Pass.
"Lord, the soldiers are dying, let's retreat first?" Looking at the situation in front of him, Han Dang couldn't bear to watch his subordinates die in vain, and hurriedly said to Sun Jian.
"No! We must take down the Tiger Prison today, otherwise so many brothers will not die in vain! Let the left battalion use all the siege equipment and kill me!"
Sun Jian is a bull temper, and he will not give up easily on the things he decides, and he is afraid that he will return in vain, and he will lose so much, he is afraid that he will be ridiculed by other princes.
In the rear army brigade, Sun Jian looked at the battle situation, the Tiger Prison Pass was like a castle, catapults, ladders, and assault vehicles were all used, but in the face of the condescending enemy, the ten-meter-high city wall gave people a feeling of powerlessness that was out of reach.
Assault vehicles, catapults were smashed by the enemy's boulders and logs, and all kinds of siege equipment were scattered aside.
As time passed, seeing his soldiers fall one by one, and the sky was about to get dark, if he continued to fight like this, it would only increase casualties, and finally Sun Jian had no choice but to retreat.
Back in the camp, Sun Jian asked people to check the number of casualties, and found that there were only more than 10,000 people left, and thirty percent of them were wounded.
After a few days of strong attack, the soldiers were exhausted, and after a day of killing, the soldiers dragged their exhausted bodies and quickly fell asleep, and it was very quiet inside and outside the barracks.
Sun Jian sat in the main tent, Sun Ce, Huang Gai and others sat around, Sun Jian looked irritable at this time, and his brows were tightly locked.
"This Huaxiong is simply a turtle son, no matter how we call for battle, he can't hold out, causing us to attack and suffer heavy losses. ”
Sun Ce has the same personality as Sun Jian, and he is even more popular than his father, otherwise he would not be called the little overlord, but now he sees that there are no outsiders, so he scolds directly.
"Lord, it's not a way to go on like this, I believe that the lord also knows the difficulty of attacking the city, and we don't have much food and grass, if we continue to attack like this, even if we want to attack, I'm afraid there is no way. ”
Huang Gai also came out to report to Sun Jian at this time.
"Didn't I ask you to urge the grain and grass a long time ago, why did Yuan Shu delay the distribution of grain and grass?" Sun Jian couldn't help frowning when he heard that there was a problem with the grain and grass.
If there is no food and grass, how can the soldiers have the strength to fight without food, this is a very serious problem.
"Father, I think Yuan Shu is afraid that his father will capture the Tiger Prison Pass and take the first credit, so he will not send us food and grass. ”
Sun Ce stood up with his chest up at this time, and said a word to break the mystery in it, as soon as he said this, several people thought for a while, and they all nodded.
"Yuan Shu, he dares!"
Sun Jian was furious and took the case, "As the vanguard of the front of the Allied Army, if there is a mistake, will he be responsible for this crime!"
"Okay, I'm thinking about this, it's not early, you're all tired all day, go down and rest!"
In fact, now Sun Jian is also angry, and he has nothing to do now.
"Yes, my lord, my father, I'll take my leave!"
After listening to Sun Jian's words, several people stood up and retreated.
