Cao Cao's soldiers are in the Tiger Prison.

On the surface, 80,000 troops were sent to attack, but in fact there were only 50,000, and the remaining 30,000 were distributed to Chen Gong and Xizhong to them.

"Prepare more military flags."

"Tents too."

"Get our scarecrow out again!"

"I need to dig more stoves and smoke more."

"The momentum must be sufficient, and Yang Zhao must feel that we really have 80,000 people."

As soon as Cao Cao arrived outside the pass, he let the people below bluff and prepare, but he was not in a hurry to start a war with Yang Zhao, after all, it was just to attract Yang Zhao's attention, and the real attack was not here.

The soldiers of the Cao army immediately arranged everything.

The momentum was quickly created, and it was immense, as if it could overwhelm the guards of the Tiger Prison in terms of momentum.

When Feng Ming saw the situation outside the pass, he immediately asked people to prepare artillery and mortars, ready to defend against Cao Cao's attack at any time.

Not long after Cao Cao came to the outside of the Tiger Prison Pass, Yang Zhao also led his troops to the Tiger Prison Pass, and looked beyond the pass, only to see Cao Cao's army, with a momentum like a rainbow, and there was a feeling that he could crush himself.

"In Cao Cao's army, there are sure to be 80,000 people?"

Yang Zhao looked out and said in disbelief.

Feng Ming analyzed: "Judging from the momentum, it looks like there are 80,000 people, but the actual number cannot be ascertained for the time being, unless Cao Cao launches an attack now, the situation of the troops can be exposed." But if he hides his troops, the actual number of troops sent is less than advertised, and he will not dare to attack directly and comprehensively, and will only keep people tempted. ”

Yang Zhao agreed: "Your analysis is very reasonable, let's see how Cao Cao's situation is." ”

They are not in a hurry, in the face of the attack of the three parties, the pressure is not too great, and Yang Zhao is confident that he can withstand it.

Sun Cao and Liu are attacking in an all-round way, and the situation seems to be very serious, but as long as Ma Chao and them can suppress Liu Bei, who wants to beat Guanzhong, there is no pressure on Sun's side at all, and Yang Zhao can press Cao Cao back.

Since Cao Cao didn't move, Yang Zhao didn't move either.

There is enough time to spend with Cao Cao.

The second day of the standoff between the two sides.

In Cao Cao's army, there was a sudden movement, and he personally went out into battle and shouted in front of the gate of the pass.

"Yang Mingguang, can you come out and talk about it?"

Hearing Cao Cao's shout, the soldiers guarding the pass hurriedly brought the news back to Yang Zhao.

After a long while, Yang Zhao walked to the upper floor of Guankou City, looked down, and asked, "Cao Mengde, between us, can we still catch up with the past?" ”

Cao Cao nodded and said, "We used to be friends, why can't we catch up?" In addition, I want to tell you, as long as you open the Tiger Prison Pass and surrender, after I enter Luoyang, I can spare your life, and even let you lead the army to fight under my command, how about it? ”

Yang Zhao couldn't help but laugh and said, "Are you telling me a joke?" ”

Cao Cao said lightly: "If you are unwilling to surrender, you will regret it!" ”

Yang Zhao sneered: "Not necessarily, maybe the person who regrets it is you, if you want to tackle the problem, I will accompany you at any time, come!" ”

Cao Cao pondered for a long time, and suddenly said, "Attack!" ”

Knock knock knock......

The drums of war were beaten.

50,000 soldiers of the Cao Army came out of the camp and advanced to the pass with all kinds of siege equipment, and officially launched an attack.

"There should be 50,000 people in this formation."

Feng Ming looked at the formation of Cao's army below, looked at the rear again, and continued: "But Cao Cao's rear army, you can still see a lot of figures, it seems that there is no whole army attacking, there are really 80,000 people. ”

Yang Zhao said: "80,000 people stormed the Tiger Prison Pass? I guess Cao Cao will not necessarily do this, with his way of fighting, he will not only start the attack from the Tiger Prison Pass, but in the south of Luoyang, there has been no movement, and the shadow has no other news. ”

Feng Ming analyzed: "It can only be said that Cao Cao's preparations are still very sufficient, if there are 80,000 people here, according to the judgment of the lord, he has at least more than 100,000 people secretly preparing, if it really will attack the south of Luoyang, General Fang's pressure is not small." ”

"It's okay to be stressed."

Yang Zhao said confidently: "I am ready to run Cao Cao away from the Tiger Prison, force him to retreat to the south of Luoyang, and concentrate the Cao army, so that it will be easier to fight!" The shadow sent an order to Fang Rui and them, if they waited at Yuyuan Pass, and saw that Cao Cao's army was coming, they deliberately showed weakness, and gave Cao Cao a chance not to lose it. ”

"Yes!"

A shadow man walked down the tower.

While they were talking, Cao Cao's army of 50,000 came to the pass.

The trebuchet was pushed forward first, and some soldiers lit explosives and threw them at the tower of the Tiger Prison Pass, and more than a dozen explosive bags flew up and landed on the pass.

"Retreat!"

Yang Zhao directly gave up defending above the city tower.

When he saw the trebuchet appear, he ordered to retreat downward.

Rumble......

When the explosive bag was thrown and exploded on the pass, not even a single soldier was killed, but a few soldiers were too late to walk, and they were shaken by the shock wave and fell down the stairs.

I was a little embarrassed.

Just wounded, not killed.

Cao Cao saw Yang Zhao retreat like this, and pondered for a while, wondering whether he should continue to attack.

"My lord, this is an opportunity."

Chen Qun said: "Yang Zhao retreated to the pass, we used the trebuchet to throw explosives as a cover, and then used the ladder to climb up, and we could directly take the Tiger Prison Pass." ”

But Cheng Yu objected: "Will Yang Zhao let go of the Tiger Prison so easily?" ”

Apparently not.

With Yang Zhao's ability, he won't be unable to hold even a tiger prison.

If you are a master, you must be cautious.

Cao Cao hesitated, thought for a while, and said: "Continue to bombard the top of the Tiger Prison Pass, don't let Yang Zhao be able to climb the city tower, and the others gather their strength to storm the gate." ”

He changed his strategy, and without Chen Qun's plan, it was not advisable to climb the city tower.

Violently opening and closing the door is the safest way to tackle key problems.

Cao Jun also has a bed crossbow inside.

This thing is not Yang Zhao's patent, let alone Yang Zhao's uniqueness, there has been a bed crossbow since ancient times.

In order to benchmark Yang Zhao, Cao Cao deliberately found a lot of skilled craftsmen and invested a lot of money to transform the bed crossbow, although the power is not as powerful and terrifying as the three-bow bed crossbow, but it can still be done to shoot through the city gate.

Unless the Tiger Prison is closed behind the gate, it is blocked with a boulder.

The trebuchet continued to bombard the top of the Tiger Prison with explosives packs, leaving Yang Zhao unable to defend from above.

At the same time, more than a dozen bed crossbows were pushed out by them, the thick arrow shaft, aimed at the gate of the pass, and the soldiers opened the bowstring of the bed crossbow, the arrow shaft was full of strength, just when Cao Cao was about to give the order to shoot out, the gate of the tiger prison was suddenly opened.

Yang Zhao did not use a boulder to block the door, guessed through Cao Cao's suspicious mind, and saw that he simply walked down the city tower, thinking that Cao Cao would not dare to use the cloud ladder to climb, and would probably use the gate as a breakthrough.

He asked the soldiers to observe Cao's movements through the crack in the door.

Seeing that Cao Jun took out the bed crossbow, Yang Zhao ordered the door to be opened and allowed to shoot those crossbow arrows without any resistance or resistance.
