Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 857
Chapter 855: Attacking the Tiger Prison Intelligently
Although Hulao Pass has been destroyed twice, it still does not hinder its status as the "No. [-] pass in the world". After all, this pass is so legendary.

After the third rebuilding of Hulao Pass, the defense is far different than before.

Yang Jian, who presided over the reconstruction of Hulao Pass, not only increased the height and thickness of the city wall, but also built many new archery towers, and even arranged many catapults on the towers. In addition, the guard materials and military rations in the pass are also very abundant, enough to support The defenders in the pass persisted for half a year.

After Qin Hao led all the princes around the periphery of Hulao, almost all the princes showed a solemn expression, because they found that Hulao Pass was almost flawless, and the only way to go was by force. How many casualties do you need to pay?

Seeing Hulao Pass like an iron wall, Cao Cao pondered for a long time, and then said: "Leader, Hulao Pass is not without flaws. There may be enough other defense materials in the pass, but the number of flying stones must be limited."

Qin Hao prefers to call the flying stone in Cao Cao's mouth a stone bomb, and Cao Cao is right.

In this era, although stones are worthless, there are not many natural stone bombs suitable for catapults, and most of them are not easy to transport and store. If you want to use them, you have to go through time-consuming and labor-intensive polishing.

Therefore, the storage capacity of stone bullets is generally not too much, and they are basically used while searching, and this also makes the defenders often encounter situations where stone bullets are not enough.

Of course, this does not exist in the Qin army. After all, the Qin army has mastered the cement technology, and can make stone bombs by itself, and can make as many stone bombs as they want, but the Liang army has not yet mastered this technology.

"Leader, our coalition forces can adopt a feint attack method, first consume the flying stones in Hulao pass, and attack with all their strength when they are almost consumed.

The morale of the defenders in the pass was also greatly reduced due to the big defeat. If the flying stones are insufficient, the defense will definitely drop. Such a strong attack for more than a month will surely break through the pass. "

Cao Cao didn't have enough confidence to say this, but it was indeed a good way to reduce casualties. After all, even if he wanted to break his head, it was nothing more than a strong attack.

Qin Hao stared at the layout on the tower, and said calmly after a while: "Although this method is good, but our army is new after all, if we don't take advantage of the situation to attack to strengthen our prestige, but deliberately pretend to attack instead, I'm afraid it will boost the momentum of the Liang army. Does it have to pay for it?"

Cao Cao obviously didn't think about taking you. He was silent for a while and then sighed: "The lord's words are justified. At this time, our army's morale is the strongest after a big victory. It is indeed a failure to feign an attack without forcing it."

"However, Wei Hou's law can still be implemented."

After Qin Hao glanced at Cao Cao, he smiled lightly and said, "Our army can attack by force for three days first. After weakening the enemy's momentum, we can use up the enemy's stone bullets in a feint attack at that time, and attack with all our strength after the stone bullets are insufficient. It works wonders."

"It's still the alliance leader's foresight, and Meng De bows down."

With his hands behind his back, Qin Hao slowly turned around to look at the princes, and asked with a smile, "I wonder who among you is willing to take on the important task of this first round of siege?"

As soon as Qin Hao finished speaking, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Song Jiang stood up first, and said in unison: "I am willing to take on this important task."

Many princes showed surprise eyes. This first round of siege must have suffered the heaviest casualties, but why did these three rush to go?
Soon they thought of the reason, to gain a good reputation.

Qin Hao looked at the three people who took the initiative to invite Ying, and after a little thought, he said: "In this case, the three of you will each attack for a day, and after three days, change to a feint attack, and the princes will take turns to attack the city."

The three of them looked at each other and said in unison: "No."

"Before attacking the city, let's send people to challenge it first. If my prediction is correct, Liang's army will not dare to leave the city to fight when they are defeated. Morale."

"promise."

A day later, Cao Cao was in charge of the first siege.

After Cao Cao prepared enough siege equipment and commanded the army to arrange the siege array, he immediately sent Yin Zhou, the first fierce general under his command, to scold the battle, while the rest of the princes watched the battle from the rear.

Inside Hulao Pass.

"Report... General Qi, the Kwantung Allied Forces came to attack the city, and Yin Zhou, Cao Cao's general, was yelling at the city."

The generals of the Liang army were excited when they heard this, and Wu Yunzhao was the first to stand up, gnashing his teeth and said: "A mere unknown soldier dares to show his power, so the last general will go and kill him."

Before Wu Yunzhao reached the door, he only heard Li Shimin's slow but unquestionable voice.

"Hold on."

Wu Yunzhao stopped immediately, and Li Shimin, whose body was mostly wrapped in gauze, put down the teacup in his hand unhurriedly at this time, and said lightly: "Our army is sitting in a fortified city, if the enemy is a little aggressive, they will come out immediately." What's the use of Xiongguan if you want to fight against the pass?
An order was issued to the entire army that no one is allowed to go to war without authorization. The Kwantung Allied Forces can be scolded as much as they want, and they will not scold a soldier of our army to death anyway. "

"Promise." All the generals of the Liang army replied unwillingly.

Seeing this, Li Shimin also sighed in his heart. It's not that he couldn't guess the intention of the coalition forces, but that the Liang army had just experienced a big defeat, and the generals were obviously not rational at this time. Besides, even he himself was seriously injured, and some of the generals were seriously injured. They haven't recovered yet, so it can be seen that this is really not a good time to go out of the city to fight.

Of course, there is the most important point, that is, Li Shimin caused the Liang army to lose [-] elite cavalry. It is impossible for Dong Zhuo not to respond to such a large casualty, and before the punishment order from Chang'an was delivered, Li Shimin would not dare Played without permission.

Outside Hulao Pass, Yin Zhou cursed for an hour, but Hulao Pass did not respond at all, and could only return to Cao Cao's side with a depressed expression.

"My lord, it seems that Li Shimin is determined to be a coward."

"As expected."

Cao Cao showed such a look, and then said in a deep voice: "Let's attack the city with all our strength."

"promise."

Cao Jun was only responsible for attacking with all his strength for one day, even if there were casualties, it must be within the acceptable range, so it is better to take advantage of this to gain fame among the princes, so this time Cao Cao spent a lot of capital, and the [-] troops responsible for the attack were all elite soldiers.

Cao Cao looked at Xiongguan in front of him, slowly pulled out the green sword from his waist, and then pointed to the sky and shouted: "The whole army is attacking."

"Kill...kill...kill..."

The siege army of 1 people marched in neat steps, united as one, with momentum like a rainbow, surging into the sky.

The princes watching the battle from the rear were all shocked when they saw Cao Jun's astonishing momentum.

Except for Kong Rong, Tao Qian and other literati present, most of the princes are military-savvy, so it can be seen from the momentum and formation of the Cao army that the combat power of this army definitely surpasses most of the princes.
