The last three kingdoms

Chapter 1165 The Battle Stalemate
This time Huang Chong took a reassurance. The Tiger Cavalry Army and Tiger Infantry Army came to help, which greatly strengthened the defense force of Hulao Pass. More importantly, with Liu Yin's guarantee, Huang Chong was completely at ease. , Liu Yin strategized and won thousands of miles, Huang Chong followed Liu Yin, no matter how dangerous the battle was, he won the victory. Now the general trend of the world has been determined, and there is nothing Liu Yin can't stand.

Xu Cun fled back to the Wu army's camp in embarrassment, and lost most of the two thousand Wu soldiers he brought with him. Zhu Wan was furious and ordered Xu Cun to be pushed out of the camp gate and beheaded.

Xu Cun was terrified, he hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy, all the generals also begged Zhu Wan one after another, Zhu Wan's face was livid, and he insisted on following the military law.

This well-arranged sneak attack plan ended in a disastrous defeat, which made Zhu Wan a little bit embarrassed. Lu Kang used him as the vanguard of the siege this time, but after two days of fighting, he lost a lot of troops, but he got nothing. How do you explain?In a fit of rage, it was only natural for Zhu Wan to vent his anger on Xu Cun.

Xu Cun was escorted out of the gate and was about to be beheaded for public display. Lu Kang happened to rush over and asked why. After understanding the reason, Lu Kang waved his hand and signaled to untie Xu Cun, and then brought Xu Cun to See Zhu Wan.

Seeing Lu Kang approaching, Zhu Wan dared to lose his temper again, and hastily saluted Lu Kang, "I don't know if the Great Sima came, but the last general didn't greet him, so forgive me."

Lu Kang chuckled and said, "Just now outside the gate, I saw a military official trying to kill Xu Cun. Although the battle was defeated, I don't think Xu Cun is responsible. Give me a slap in the face and forgive him?"

Now that Grand Sima Lu Kang came to plead for mercy, Zhu Wan dared not agree, he said: "Today's battle, the last general commanded improperly, and this is the only way to lose. I was about to go to the central army tent to plead guilty to Grand Sima, but Grand Sima came to visit. In the end, the general has the audacity to ask Da Sima to punish him."

Lu Kang said: "Today's defeat is not due to your improper command, nor is it because the soldiers did not work hard, it is really due to bad luck, this battle is almost going to be won, but encountering Luoyang's reinforcements is unexpected, God's will So, what’s the matter.”

Zhu Wan said unconvinced: "Da Sima, at the end of tomorrow, I will personally lead the troops there, and the general will not believe that luck will never be on our side."

Lu Kang shook his head lightly, and said: "The plan of the sneak attack was to catch him by surprise. If this action fails, the Shu people must have taken precautions. I'm afraid this road will not work again. If you want to take Hulao Pass, You have to attack from the front."

Zhu Wan immediately said: "Don't worry, Da Sima, when we fight again tomorrow, the last general will fight to the death, and he will not give up until he wins Hulao Pass."

Lu Kang said: "Just now, I discussed with King Yingchuan. Tomorrow, our troops in Jiangdong will rest for the time being. They will be responsible for the siege of the city."

Zhu Wan couldn't help being startled, and said: "It's common to attack a city in March and May. We just fought for two days, and even if we didn't achieve anything, we shouldn't change people now, Da Sima." , Do King Yingchuan and the others have the intention to seize power, and they want to take advantage of the opportunity under the pretext that we can't take down Hulao Pass..."

The relationship between Zhu Wan and Lu Kang has always been good, so Zhu Wan can speak out in front of Lu Kang.

Lu Kang raised his hand to stop Zhu Wan, and said indifferently: "As an alliance, we should work together and not be suspicious of each other. In this joint battle, I deliberately let the commander-in-chief be handed over to King Yingchuan at the beginning, and King Yingchuan insisted on resigning." Shou, all I believe that King Yingchuan has no intention of fighting for power. Now that the enemy is facing the enemy, it should be sincere cooperation. It is an indisputable fact that our army is better at water warfare than land warfare. There are many things about siege It is also a wise move to rely on King Yingchuan, King Huainan, King Taishan and others, no matter who breaks Hulao pass first, it will be a victory for our country of Wu."

After Lu Kang said so, Zhu Wan said no more, and bowed his hands in agreement, expressing his compliance with Lu Kang's arrangement.

On the third day, the troops of the Wu army attacking the city underwent a major change. The Soochow army led by Lu Kang temporarily retreated to rest, and the siege operation was handed over to the troops of Chen Qian, Shi Bao, and Ma Long.

Although they still fought under the banner of the Wu army and wore the same khaki uniforms, Huang Chong immediately knew whose team it was from the very beginning of the attack.

After all, he has dealt with the Wei and Jin armies for ten years. Huang Chong knows the combat style and special characteristics of the Wei and Jin armies well. They are also attacking the city. The Jiangdong army and the Kanto army have completely different styles and characteristics. Jiangdong's army has a delicate style of play, focusing on the organization of formations when attacking, while the army of the Three Kings of the Guandong has inherited the consistent style of play of the Wei and Jin armies, rough and fierce, especially when attacking the city, the style of play is simple Rough, such an attack method is much fiercer and more effective than Jiangdong's army.

Chen Qian sent his son Chen Yu to serve as the front-line supervisor and personally command the siege operations. In today's attack, the Yuzhou Army, Huainan Army and Qingzhou Army all sent their elite troops to participate in the attack. The offensive was so fierce that it can be called is unprecedented.

The Kanto army has always been an army that has fought for a long time. Although they have recruited a lot of recruits, the main players in the team are still those veterans on the battlefield. The style is inherited and carried forward.

If the defenders at Hulao Pass were still yesterday's army, Huang Chong would definitely feel a lot of pressure. After all, the combat capability of the Kwantung Army is still higher than that of the Jiangdong Army. Of course, this does not mean that the Wu Army's combat level Poor, if it's on the water, the Wu army is almost invincible. Now it's a siege operation, and the Wu army is naturally a bit inferior.

The Kwantung Army launched round after round of attacks on Hulao Pass. Both the intensity and strength of the attacks were stronger than the previous two days.However, Huang Chong didn't seem to be worried about anything. The strong assistance of the Tiger Cavalry Army and Tiger Infantry Army was equivalent to giving Huang Chong a reassurance.

What's more, this time the Tiger Cavalry Army had just arrived and destroyed Wu Jun's sneak attack plan. Huang Chong was secretly glad that with the help of these two "lucky star" troops, Huang Chong's confidence in defending Hulao Pass was greatly increased.

The siege operation can be regarded as the most difficult battle, whether it is for the siege party or the defending party, it is the most arduous battle. With that almost destructive momentum, he crazily charged at the Hulaoguan position.

The Han army fought desperately, guarding the line of defense above Hulaoguan City, preventing the Kwantung Army from crossing the thunder pool.

The two sides fought fiercely, and the battle was very stalemate.
