Chapter 598 Take Luyang 4
"Which general in the Cao army are you? Hurry up and get your name." Ma Chao shouted at Yu Bin, who was tied up.
Yu Yu snorted coldly, turned his head to him, and said coldly, "I didn't expect that the world-famous Xiliang Army would also do this despicable and shameless thing."
Ma Chao will kick to the ground with one foot, and there is anger in his heart.
"Meng Qi, don't be rude." Zhao Yun stopped.
Seeing Yu Ban, Lv Bu's face immediately turned gloomy. When he led the army to attack Huo Pass, he was about to succeed, Yu Ban's sudden killing situation said that all the generals were angry when they marveled at Lv Bu's bold behavior.
"Name?" Zhao Yun stared at Yu Yu with bright eyes.
"Well, I am a general of Cao Jun. If you want to kill him, you can kill him. You can't get any news from me." Yu Jian said goodbye boldly. In the face of Zhao Yun's eyes, he was a little unconfident. To be honest, Yu Jian also cherished his life. He was still very young. Naturally, he didn't want to end his life so soon.
"General Lu, this is located in the forbidden general, temporarily detained in the army, and it is still useful." Zhao Yundao.
After three days of resting in the water pass, Zhao Yun led 40,000 horses in the direction of the Hu Prison Pass. As long as the Hu Prison Pass is broken, Luyang will be in the vision of the Xiliang Army, and the great territory of the Central Plains is also waving to the Xiliang Army. Lv Bu's previous actions have exposed the Xiliang Army, which is just right. The fanfare has become the current move of the Xiliang Army.
It is necessary to pursue the Central Plains and occupy Luyang. Both Cao's army and Xiliang's army understand the importance of Luyang.
Knowing the arrival of the Xiliang Army, Xia Houyuan stood on the door and quietly looked at the movements of the Xiliang Army. From the camp to the last fire cooking, the whole process was orderly, without a trace of panic. From beginning to end, there was a cavalry guarding him. It seemed to be lazy and made people feel vulnerable, but Xiahou Yuan never had never The difference between daring to go out of the city and becoming a general is to consider the overall situation, and you can't ignore the overall situation because of temporary pleasure.
The next day, Zhao Yun led 30,000 troops to the place of an arrow away from the tiger prison. He shot a spear and shouted, "Gunner guard, come out and answer."
Xia Houyuan had already stood at the head of the city and shouted, "The shameless Xiliang army, regardless of the alliance, will definitely be despised by the people of the world. They will retreat quickly and give up the water pass."
When Zhao Yun heard the words, he did not say anything. What is justice? He followed Jia Rong all year round, which also made him gradually understand that he could only gain an absolute advantage and made the enemy dare not resist at all. At that time, you said that justice was righteousness, and the failed party could only become a rebellion in history books.
"The water pass is already in the hands of our army. Surrender quickly. I will say many good words for you in front of King Liang. Paul and others will be prosperous. Otherwise, under the attack of the army, the defenders in the customs will not be spared." Zhao Yundao.
"There is a small number of nonsense. Your grandfather and I are Xia Houyuan, the general of the Cao army. Just come and attack the city." Xia Houyuan said loudly.
There are bursts of laughter from the gate, and the eyes of the Xiliang Army outside the customs are a little joking. They have strong levels, and even if the Xiliang Army outside the city is brave, it is impossible to attack in a short time. It will only become the target of the archers and the target of the Thunderbolt. As for the Xiliang Army is the first in the world, the soldiers will not care. Well, this is not a field battle. A few soldiers have gone through the 18-way princes to attack the Hu Prison Pass, and they are more confident in the battle against the Xiliang Army.
Seeing that the persuasion failed, Zhao Yun ordered his cavalry to keep running under the barrier. The rumbled momentum made the Cao soldiers, who were still a little contempt, gradually heavy. The Xiliang Army relied not only on the infantry, but also on the cavalry. Once these cavalry were in the field, It will be their nightmare. The infantry has a natural fear of the cavalry, even on the level. Seeing the cavalry killing, they can't help but want to retreat.
"Don't be afraid. Will the cavalry still fly up? Be careful and don't give them any chance to block the door with a boulder." Xiahou Yuan said that their rear is Luyang, and there is no need to worry about the supply of grain and fodder.
The Xiliang cavalry showed off its power, and Xia Houyuan was quite unhappy. With an order, the stone rain was turned off, and the cavalry hurriedly withdrew, which made Xia Houyuan laugh repeatedly.
The Thunderbolt Car was created by the Cao Army. Naturally, there are a lot of Hulao guan and Fenshuiguan, but Zhao Yun is a little down on the rough manufacturing of the Cao Army. The Thunderbolt Car of the Western Liang Army is half as far away as the Cao Army. However, at this time, they are attacking the city. This advantage has been greatly weakened, and the Thunderbolt Car is also difficult to achieve. Maybe it will It was broken by the other party's weak Thunderbolt car.
"The Hulao Pass is a powerful pass outside Luyang. There are 10,000 horses in Xia Houyuan's hand, which has the benefit of the level. I'm afraid it's difficult for our army to break through." Zhao Yundao.
Guo Jia smiled and said, "Why does the general need to grow other people's ambition and destroy his own prestige? The Fenshui Pass is also a strong pass, but General Lu can break it with 500 cavalry. There must be losses when the defenders in the pass have made mistakes, that is, the day when the Hu Prison Pass is broken."
When Zhao Yun saw Guo Jia's appearance of Zhizhu holding, he was much relieved. In terms of wisdom, he was not as good as Guo Jiaduo. He thought that Guo Jia had no killer mace that had not been taken out, just like the previous water pass. In Zhao Yun's view, even if it was a strong attack, it was difficult to attack without three months, but he was made a plan by Guo Jia and fell overnight. The hand of the Xiliang army.
"The military division's words are very true. I hope the military division can come up with a strange strategy to remove the tiger prison as soon as possible." Zhao Yundao.
"General, don't worry. Xia Houyuan, the general of the tiger prison, is a famous wise general of the Cao army. It can't be underestimated. If it is not as I expected, the city gate will definitely be sealed. If you don't give my army any chance, the king will personally lead the soldiers and horses to come. That's when the real decisive battle begins." Guo Jia said, "The current task of our army is to attack the city, inquire about the news on the battlefield at any time, and do not give the time to prepare the defenders in the customs."
Zhao Yun was silent. With the terrain of the tiger prison, he sent soldiers forward to die.
"General, for the sake of the overall victory, sacrifice is inevitable. What's more, the training of soldiers is not just to fight on the battlefield one day. Even if it is death, it is not at all. As a soldier, there should be such a clear understanding. Only in continuous wars can soldiers can soldiers make progress." Guo Jia persuaded.
For three days in a row, the Xiliang army did not attack the city, but under the cover of the shield soldiers, constantly filled and leveled the terrain outside the Hu Prison Pass. The well wall was the main force to attack the barrier, while the potholes outside the pass became an obstacle to the attack of the well Wall. The Tiger Pass stood between the mountains. The terrain was extremely complex and it was very difficult to repair. .
Seeing this behavior of the Xiliang Army, Xia Houyuan could only constantly order the soldiers to fire a Thunderbolt car, and occasionally hit a stone. Listening to the soldiers of the Xiliang Army wailing under the boulder, it would always arouse the voices of soldiers.
Xia Houyuan's face was gloomy. He knew that when the terrain outside the pass was rested, it would be a fierce battle to welcome the Cao army, and it would take some time for the reinforcements of the Cao army to arrive. However, he was very confident that the danger of the tiger prison was not to be filled. To make up for it, hundreds of thousands of 18-way princes were still blocked outside the Hu prison.
Cao's army has 200,000, but the war in Qingzhou may break out at that moment. After Liu Biao became emperor in Jingzhou, his ambition also soared. It is not known that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao have been at peace, and there are many frictions between the two sides.
With 200,000 troops, how many soldiers can be used? It is no better than the Xiliang Army. The rear is the prairie, and the land of Youzhou is in the palm of your hand. The Qiang people's chaos has been pacified. There is no threat in the rear. It can devote its troops to the battle of Hu Prison.
Even if the reinforcements come, Xia Houyuan can only have 20,000 soldiers and horses, which is still full of calculation.
Xiahouyuan is very confident that even 10,000 soldiers and horses can block the 40,000 Xiliang army outside the customs. As a barrier to the eastern capital Luyang, the Hu prison pass has been repaired by successive emperors. It is extremely strong and not so easy to break through.
Five days later, there was no grass outside the Hu prison, the terrain became much flatter, and the well could slowly approach the Hu prison.
The drums rumbled, and a team of soldiers quickly ran towards the Hu Prison Pass. They carried the ladder, but their pace was light. As the first team to approach the level, they understood that the faster the speed, the more they could save their lives in the battle. The enemy's stones and arrows were the first to greet them.
Soldiers kept falling, and the soldiers in the rear quickly came forward and continued the unfinished work of the fallen soldiers.
The closing kept throwing stones and harvesting the lives of the soldiers of the Xiliang Army. The Thunderbolt car under the closed also began to show a ferocious face, constantly firing stones smaller than the Thunderbolt car.
After a brief stagnation, the real bloody battle began. Without the cover of the Thunderbolt car, the Xiliang army was completely exposed to the attack of Cao's army. Soldiers who were constantly climbing the ladder were hit by the enemy's boulder and fell in a wailing.
The ten wells slowly approached the Hu Prison Pass.
Xia Houyuan's eyes suddenly sharpened. Looking at these wells from a distance, it gives people a feeling that they can't be broken. Cao Jun doesn't have such wells. The whole body is steel, which emits a breathtaking light in the sun.
As soon as Jinglan came forward, he was suppressed by the oncoming boulder. Without the Xiliang Army's Thunderbolt car to resist, Cao's Thunderbolt car began to show off. What's more, the situation in other places is complicated, and it is quite inconvenient for Jinglan to act.
Zhao Yun was in the middle army with a pale face. He saw with his own eyes how the elite soldiers under his command died in the battlefield. The feeling in his heart could be imagined that these were the elites of a hundred battles, but they died under the wall and were killed by the enemy's big stone.
In a round of attack, the Xiliang army lost more than a thousand people and a well. From beginning to end, it did not even attack the wall.
Seeing that the well was hit by a boulder, and the soldiers on it kept running away, Xia Houyuan's expression was slightly slower. It turned out that these wells were not made of iron, but wrapped on a layer outside, which made people feel afraid.
