Wushuang Wudi of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 82 Absolutely the opposite
At this time, Zhu Jun, who was located in the Luoyang area, was leading the main force of the army towards Tongguan. He was prepared, and he did not need to wait for Tai Shici's notification, so he marched in a hurry and came straight to the target.

Luoyang is nearly 500 miles away from Tongguan, and it takes five or six days for a normal march, and three and a half days for an urgent march.

As for Lu Bu, he was on his way to Tongguan.Chang'an is relatively close to Tongguan, only 270 miles away, and it only takes three and a half days for a normal march.In theory, he would be ahead of Zhu Jun.

However, firstly, Zhu Jun set off a day earlier. He and Tai Shici made an appointment to attack, and set off on this day.Second, the messenger sent by Hao Meng's troops is still on the way, and it will take more than a day for him to reach Lv Bu's army.

In this way, it is really hard to say who will be faster first.

"Report! Marquis Wen, Tongguan courier urgently reported that Zhu Jun's army under Tai Shici has led more than 3000 troops and attacked and captured the city wall tower to the east of Tongguan! General Hao Meng led troops to resist at the west tower. I believe that the main force of Zhu Jun's army should be at the west tower. Come quickly!" The subordinate reported the general military situation.

"Oh? Is there such a thing? What's the name of the village chief?" Lu Bu was not in a hurry after hearing this, his expression didn't change, and instead he thought about asking the village chief who performed well.

"It seems to be called Li Mo... Marquis Wen, Zhu Jun's main force is rushing towards Tongguan. Do we have to march quickly to Tongguan? Tongguan is a steep pass!" Lu Bu had a somewhat indifferent attitude, letting his body Wei Xu, who was following the expedition, was a little uneasy, and quickly reminded him.

"It's Li Mo!" Lu Bu left an impression in his heart, "Oh, you said hurry? No rush, no rush, send messengers, let Hao Meng and Li Mo lead the army, and leave Tongguan!" He continued.

"Ah! Marquis Wen, this..." Wei Xu and the others were taken aback, Marquis Wen didn't care too much about it!
"Marquis Wen, that's the fortress of Tongguan, which is high in the city! Are we going to give it up just like this?" Lu Fang couldn't help being surprised and said, people hurriedly sent someone to ask you to come for reinforcements, it's good for you, lightly You're going to throw away the city if you just say a word, you're too pushy!

"Don't make a fuss, it's nothing unusual. The Marquis asked Hao Meng to defend Tongguan. It would be best if he defended it; in the end, he didn't defend it. In this way, it would be meaningless to continue to defend. What is Zhu Junjun's purpose? It’s not to occupy Tongguan, but to enter Guanzhong and Chang’an, even if this Marquis does nothing, he will also come to fight this Marquis!” Lu Bu said lightly, the purpose of defending these strongholds is to fight against him. , when he has no time to care, he can ensure the safety of the Guanzhong base. Now that he has free hands to fight Zhu Jun, what's the rush!

"Send orders! All the ministries are marching normally! Send people to Chang'an City and ask Du Ji to transport over a dozen Thunderbolt chariots invented by Liu Ye; send people to nearby counties and ask them to prepare a large amount of kerosene, alcohol, and other flammable materials. Bring them to the army!" Lu Bu ordered.

Therefore, on the land of Qinchuan, Lu Bu's [-] troops continued to meander, marching as usual, with a sense of leisurely leisure.

On the other hand, in the east, Zhu Jun's army in the Luoyang area was marching rapidly, raising a lot of smoke and dust, in a hurry.Marching in a hurry naturally has the advantage of marching in a hurry, rushing to the battlefield faster, capturing fighters, and often being able to surprise the enemy by surprise.However, the disadvantages are also obvious. The troops are tired, the soldiers fall behind, and they are also vulnerable to ambushes and various accidents.

On the plain land, two densely packed black teams, one east and one west, headed towards the rugged and dangerous mountains.

And their common goal, Tongguan, is still stuck in a stalemate.

First, Tai Shici organized a group of hundreds of elites to launch a new attack on the target in the daylight of the second day under all visible conditions.These soldiers with shields and long knives in their hands advanced slowly step by step.Just like a tortoise, although it is slow, it has thick skin and flesh, and has excellent armor for defense.

Hao Meng ordered to shoot with a bow and arrow, but without any accident, it was useless.

The soldiers under Tai Shici were overjoyed, and they walked steadily forward with heavy and depressing steps, approaching the stairs of the West Tower.

"What should I do?" Looking at the bottom of the stairs, one by one soldiers were cut down ruthlessly, Hao Meng became a little anxious.

"General, why don't we let go of a road first, and then use big stones to smash them down. Although these enemy soldiers have high defense, they are clumsy and inflexible. When the big stones are thrown down, one hit will be accurate!" Chief Li Mo pointed to the numbers on the battlements. A big rock, suggested.

"Ha! Very good!" Hao Meng said happily, and quickly ordered.

Lu Bu's soldiers retreated one after another, leaving their positions to the enemy.Tai Shici's group of warriors immediately seized a section of the ladder. Tai Shici in the rear was overjoyed and wanted to organize follow-up troops, preparing to lead the team and kill them!

But at this moment, boom!On the city tower, several huge stones suddenly rolled down. The dull oppressive feeling and the roaring sound in the air were extremely frightening. They all remind people not to underestimate the power they contain.

"Ah!" The soldiers of Taishi Ci who occupied the first part of the ladder were terrified.

Boom, boom, boom!When the huge boulder fell, the soldiers who bore the brunt of it let out mournful cries and screams unwillingly, and were smashed to a bloody mess. Their bodies or corpses rolled down and knocked over the people behind them one after another.This group of soldiers suffered heavy losses, their morale plummeted, they hurriedly retreated clumsily, and retreated in defeat.

"Damn it!" Tai Shici cursed, and had no choice but to give up the plan to attack.

However, in fact, there were not many stones left in Hao Meng's place. If Tai Shici dared to order those soldiers to attack regardless of the cost, he should be able to climb to the top and kill the tower.However, when you go up the tower, these "turtle soldiers" are not enough to look at. If you are pushed hard, you will fall off.The outcome depends on the performance of both sides.

Hao Meng, who had successfully defended, was a little proud, and began to organize well, and rushed to Tai Shici's position.

But was blocked and failed.

The two sides come and go, trying to open a gap, so as to swarm up and secure the victory. Unfortunately, both sides can't even open a gap, and they are deadlocked.

"Report! Marquis Wen's messenger has arrived! Order us to abandon Tongguan and retreat!" Hao Meng heard a military order that stunned him.

"What! Marquis Wen..." Hao Meng opened her eyes wide and said in astonishment.

"General Hao, Marquis Wen has his own plan, so accept the order!" Li Mo reminded.

"Okay! I really don't understand it!" Hao Meng was a little dejected, commanded the troops, and went down the tower.

Tai Shici, who was concerned about the movement of his opponent, quickly kept a close eye on the soldiers of Lu Bu's army, thinking that they were attacking across the board, so he quickly ordered everyone to be alert and ready to attack.

However, Lu Bujun's next action surprised them so much that they couldn't believe it.I saw thousands of Lu Bu soldiers leaving like that, swaggeringly, leaving one by one without a trace of nostalgia!
"What's the situation?" They looked at each other in blank dismay. Tongguan, which had been fighting for so long and hadn't been fully succeeded, fell into everyone's hands so easily?
They were completely stunned, and it took a while to react, but instead of cheering and elation, they were a little silent and puzzled. With doubts, they occupied the west tower that Lu Bujun had voluntarily abandoned.Tongguan fell under the control of Zhu Junjun.

And this heralds the coming of a new war.
