On the third day of the strong attack on Hulao pass, there were shouts of killing at night. The guards lit the brazier to expand their sight.
Over the past two days, the Allied forces of the warlords of Kanto have been sending a square array of 20000 people to attack Hulao pass in turn, which has made the defenders of Hulao pass look strange.
The harassing tactics of the joint forces of the warlords in the east of the pass made the garrison in Hulao numb.
This time, it was not much different from the previous two nights. The Allied forces of the warlords of Kanto sent another 20000 strong siege team to harass Hulao pass.
Li Ying yawned and turned white in the cold winter: "Kanto people come to challenge again. It's really hard for people to sleep well."
He ordered the garrison of Hulao pass step by step, and wanted to give a lesson to the warlords of Guandong.
There are 20000 enemies who attack Xiongguan. Facing the 15 meter high Hulao pass, they are as small as mole ants.
Every time the warlords of Guandong attacked Hulao pass, they did not pay any price. Instead, after hundreds of people were killed and injured, they retreated in a hurry. Li Zhen concluded that the other side just came to harass the garrison and reduce the morale of the garrison.
The effect is also very obvious. For three days and three nights, Li Zhen did not sleep a good night, because the sound of the war drum was kept off.
Both sides began to shoot arrows at Hulao pass. The siege troops launched more than a dozen chariots to cover the approach of archers. However, the effect is not obvious when the arrow of Xiliang Archer falls on the cowhide cart.
"It's impossible for you to conquer Hulao pass. Even if my spirit of flying bear Sergeant drops, and I'm going to fight off the horse, how can you break it with the advantage of the grand pass? "
However, Li Xuan thought about plundering Luoyang.
Dong Zhuo left him here to guard the pass, which meant that he could not participate in the looting of Luoyang by Xiliang and Guanzhong legions, which was undoubtedly a huge loss to him.
As the imperial city of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Luoyang has many good things, but these good things have entered the hands of Guo Si, Niu Fu and Zhang Ji.
All of a sudden, Li Fu faintly realized that the danger was approaching. Years of experience in fighting on the battlefield told him that he heard the sound of large wooden instruments moving.
The brazier on the Hulao pass can only provide part of the sight for the garrison. Most of the places outside the Hulao pass are dark for the defenders.
The sound of large wooden instruments was getting closer and closer, which made Li Li more and more uneasy.
He seemed to be aware of what it was.
"Fire arrow team!"
Li Zhen urges the archers who own the rocket to shoot the rocket at the source of the sound!
Hundreds of fire arrows cut through the sky and light up the darkness along the way. The garrison can see clearly what it is. It is a ferocious monster - a huge siege tower with a height of 20 meters is slowly approaching the Hulao pass under the pull and promotion of hundreds of soldiers!
The archers of the sound shooting camp at the top of the siege tower shoot their arrows at the garrison of hulaoguan, suppress and cover the siege tower close to the wall!
The siege tower is covered with cowhide on all sides to prevent it from being ignited easily.
The garrison of hulaoguan was in a panic. The Allied forces of the warlords in the east of the pass did not harass, but seriously attacked the city!
"Kill!"
"Those who climb first will be rewarded with great rewards."
When the Hulao pass was closed, countless torches were lit up, forming a fire dragon. 200000 troops suddenly attacked Hulao pass at night and wanted to take it down in one fell swoop!
"They're serious this time!"
Li Li's scalp was numb and suddenly came to his senses.
The governors of Guandong in front of us constantly harass us, in order to make a sudden attack on Hulao pass!
The rain of arrows shot at the garrison of Hulao pass!
All the ten princes sent out elite archers. Chu Tian sent his elite army, the shooting sound camp, led by Li Guang, and other princes to suppress the Xiliang archers who were locked up in Hulao!
Cao Cao sent the archers of Dongjun led by Xia Houyuan.
Therefore, Liu Jifei could not use the bow to lead the general.
Ming Guan sent Zu dashou to command the archers of Liaodong.
The ten princes are really moving, no one can stop them!
The archers of Xiliang in the Hutao were suppressed by the elite troops of the ten princes. They hid behind the women's wall and did not dare to shoot easily.
At this time, Xue Rengui stood on the 20 meter high siege tower. As the tower gradually approached the wall, he could see the outline of the garrison on the wall of Chu city.
He took out an arrow from the arrow pot behind him. The bow was like a full string and shot at a man who looked like a general!
"Fool, shoot your arrow, don't hide behind the wall!"
Li Ying pulled out his Sabre to command, and a streamer from the siege tower shot at a relative beside him!
The wounded Xiliang soldier fell to the ground and howled.
Li Li quickly ordered his soldiers to take down the shield and form a round array to protect them.
The ladder hooks into the city wall, and the soldiers of Kanto are flocking over the mountains and fields, making it difficult for the mentally tired soldiers of Xiliang to defend!
"Elder brother, I'll go and board first, and I'll take Huaxiong's head to see you."
Guan Yu stroked his long beard and carried the green dragon Yanyue sword, leading a team of Jizhou light infantry as the first boarding team!"My Lord, I'm sure I'll break through the barrier!"
With a big sword of the Warring States period, Lian Po, a little white on his temples, leads the infantry in Taiyuan, Bingzhou, and goes to attack!
Li Guang led the shooting sound camp to suppress the archers above the Xiongguan pass, while Xue Rengui sniped the other general on the siege tower. Chu Tian was surrounded by only Zhao Yun and Hua Mulan.
Looking at Chu Tian, Zhao Yun mostly wants to fight.
"Zhao Yun, you lead the 500 soldiers of Xiliu camp to board first."
Chu Tian finally agreed.
Zhao Yun is not suitable for being commander-in-chief with too many troops. It should not be a problem to lead some elite soldiers to serve as the first commander.
"Yes
Zhao Yun, armed with his long spear, took five hundred soldiers from the willow camp into the great siege.
This time, the ten princes made up their minds to break through the Hulao pass!
"My Lord, Cao ahan told them to put all their forces into attacking Xiongguan pass!"
Yuan Shao's counsellor Xu you is in a hurry and wakes Yuan Shao who is sleeping soundly.
Yuan Shao came out, followed by Yan Liang and Wen Chou.
In the distance, thousands of torches, bright as day, shook the Yellow River with shouts of killing, so that Yuan Shao's army was startled.
Yuan Shu, Kong Ju, Yuan Yi and other princes were shocked when they heard the cry of killing.
Chu Tian and Cao Cao actually did their best to attack Hulao pass!
Yuan Shao shook his head: "Hulao pass is one of the best passes in the world. How can they break it? I will continue to sleep, and when I wake up tomorrow, Cao ahan will surely come back in vain. "
The huge siege tower is close to Hulao pass, and the six meter long suspension bridge is heavily smashed down. In the future, several soldiers in Xiliang who are not able to escape will be smashed into meat paste!
"Kill!"
Under the leadership of Xue Rengui, the elite infantry hiding inside the siege tower climbed the wall of Hulao pass along the suspension bridge!
Below the soldiers along the tortuous corridor inside the siege tower, climb to the top of the siege tower, and then follow the suspension bridge to the wall!
Siege tower provides a similar effect to the ladder car. The 15 meter high wall of hulaoguan is no longer a natural danger!
Wielding Lu Bu's unique Fang Tian Hua halberd, Xue Rengui assassinates several Xiliang soldiers one after another to capture the barrier wall!
Guan Yu led Jizhou infantrymen to climb the ladder car first, swing the broadsword, and kill one person in five steps!
After Zhao Yun was unwilling to be a soldier, he killed himself on the wall with silver armour and white robe. He took the Xiliu camp to form a round array to provide cover for the continuous troops from the rear to climb the city.
Xiliang soldiers tried to expel Zhao Yun and his party. Five of them were stabbed to death by Zhao Yun, and their blood dyed red and white robes!
Seeing that he was one of the three generals who had defeated Lv Bu in Hulao prison on that day, Xiliang soldiers were shocked and took a few steps backward.
Lianpo, a general of the Warring States period, led his soldiers to climb up the wall and killed several people with a big knife. Countless soldiers in his rear then boarded the city. It was unstoppable!
Seeing the bad situation, Li Li and Hua Xiong had long thought of giving up Hulao pass, so they led their own soldiers to the pass and fled in the direction of Luoyang City.
Ten princes with strong forces and powerful generals joined hands, and the combat effectiveness was unimaginable!
Dong Zhuo intends to give up the defense of Hulao pass is about to fall.
Since the decision to move the capital to Chang'an, it is meaningless to defend Hulao pass, because there is no city to provide food for the garrison.
However, Dong Zhuo didn't expect that the originally scattered warlords in Kanto would be fierce like tigers. The real powerful princes joined hands to attack the Hulao pass, which was defended by 50000 Xiliang garrison with low morale.
Xu Rong, the chief General guarding Hulao pass, did not realize that Li Zhen and Hua Xiong had abandoned him and fled because they were afraid of the power of the heroes in Guandong. Instead, they came to support them with their own soldiers.
Three thousand soldiers were killed on the wall. They were killed in the West!
But tonight, Li Yu and Hua Xiong, who are responsible for defending the wall, are missing.
He was sold by his teammates!
A team of elite light infantry came to attack Xu Rong and his family members. They were armed with iron halberds and Han crossbows!
A crossbow and arrow shot out, Xu Rong's personal soldiers one by one fell down.
Xu Rong wants to run away, but a little silver general has been watching him.
Xu Rong's scalp is numb. Isn't this silver armour general a Kanto general who fought against Lv Bu that day?
After the Xiliu camp shot Xu Rong's relatives one by one with crossbows and arrows, Zhao Yun drew a red tassel and approached Xu Rong step by step
The battle of Hulao pass lasted a whole night, and the flags of the ten princes were on the wall of Hulao pass!
When Yuan Shao woke up again, he asked his close soldiers, "have Cao achuan, Chu Zimu and others been defeated and returned home?"
"My Lord, they, they have captured the Hulao pass..."
When Yuan Shao heard the news, he was immediately stunned. The most powerful pass in the world was captured!
The 15th route princes who did not take part in the war were shocked when they learned that the United forces had attacked the pull out Hulao pass within three days and nights.
Although the morale of the Xiliang army has been depressed and the number of soldiers guarding the city has been reduced, Hulao pass is still a grand pass after all!Xu you came to look for Yuan Shao again: "Lord, the Hulao pass has been broken. You can march westward, retake Luoyang and the son of heaven. Great things can be accomplished!"
"But I didn't capture Hulao pass..."
"With the concerted efforts of all the princes, Dong Zhuo retreated and captured the Hulao pass. If we don't take back Luoyang and the son of heaven, then the emperor will be taken away by Cao ahan and Chu zimou. Isn't the Lord disgraced? "
"That makes sense! Let Yan Liang and Wen Chou point ten thousand cavalry, and the League will personally pursue Dong Zhuo, the national thief. It's a shame before snow! "
Yuan Shao himself insisted on sharp, and led the cavalry with Yan Liang and Wen Chou to pursue Dong Zhuo!
Yuan Shu, Wang Kuang and other vassals who stood idly by could enter Heluo and plunder the pass as soon as they saw the break of Hulao pass, so they immediately set foot in the pass!
"We can't do our best to attack Hulao pass, but one by one runs faster than the other..."
Seeing Yuan Shao and other princes entering the pass, Chu Tian shook his head repeatedly.
Although the Hulao pass has been broken, Dong Zhuo's army in Luoyang is easy to provoke? In the plain area, the Xiliang army will be invincible.
Even Chu Tian had only 12 double bow crossbows in his hand, which could pose a threat to Xiliang iron cavalry.
"Ding! Because your army has fought hard and successfully captured Hulao pass, your army's combat achievements in Hulao pass have doubled. "
Chu Tian is right to guess. You can gain extra combat merit by conquering Hulao pass.
It is estimated that the other vassals who took part in the capture of Hulao pass also doubled their fighting achievements.
In this battle, Chu Tian gained more than ten thousand combat achievements, and after doubling, there were 30000.
In addition, Chu Tian and other princes split up the captives in Hulao pass.
The soldiers and horses of Li Li and Hua Xiong gave up defending Hulao pass and sold Xu Rong. Therefore, almost all the soldiers captured were Xu Rong's soldiers, about 10000 people. On average, each vassal could only get more than 1000 prisoners and hundreds of horses.
Zhao Yun made great contributions in the battle of hulaoguan. He escorted a general of Dong Zhuo to come.
Chu Tian was quite surprised. He didn't expect that he could not capture Dong Zhuo's Qi Du Wei Hu Fu alive last time. This time, he finally caught a Dong Zhuo's department.
Chu Tian saw that the man was about 40 years old. He was stubborn, and seemed unwilling to admit that he had become a prisoner.
This is also very normal. Not long ago, he was commanding the troops and horses of Xiliang, and his position was prominent. At this time, he suddenly became a prisoner, and naturally he was not used to it.
"Who are you?"
The man did not answer.
Chu Tian knows that it's hard to win over all the generals who have the master.
Zhao Yun and Xu Sheng were their lords who would surrender only after their death. Zang Ba, sun Guan and other Mountain Tai bandits conquered them by force after Chutian exterminated them.
And the man in front of him is Dong Zhuo. It's not easy to swallow Dong Zhuo before he dies.
Or, Chu Tian didn't dare to use the generals who were too easy to surrender, such as Lu Bu, who recognized his father as soon as he surrendered.
"If you don't say who you are, it's OK. Come and bring a prisoner to identify you."
Soon a Xiliang cavalry was brought over: "this is our general, Zhonglang General Xu Rong."
Xu Rong?!
Chu Tian didn't expect that Zhao Yun had captured a man of great origin. In history, he had defeated Cao Cao and Sun Jian's Zhonglang General Xu Rong.
Although Cao Cao and Sun Jian did not have many troops at that time, it also showed that Xu Rong had the ability of commanding
Xu Rong was recognized, so no longer hide: "I will not be loyal to you, you want to kill or kill."
"It's a pity to kill you..."
Chu thought that Xu Rong should be a good cavalry general, so he asked him to detain him temporarily.
He didn't believe that Xu Rong would not surrender as long as he brought it back to Langya for discipline.
"We continue to march towards Luoyang!"
Chu Tian, together with the other nine princes, pursued Dong Zhuo westward, which might have intercepted some materials and population, and even rescued the emperor and Baiguan.
Chu Tian saw the mighty lords of the 25th route and a group of Lords entering the pass: "there are so many princes, how can one emperor divide..."
