148 Fighting
Since the failure of the Ugly Han provocation, the Grassland Empire began to launch an attack.
To be honest, 100% of the elite troops of the Grassland Empire are cavalry, and cavalry is indeed quite powerful in open plains, especially this cavalry of the Grassland Empire, which is simply an invincible existence.
But if it is used to attack the city, the cavalry will be a little powerful and have nowhere to use it.
The Grassland Empire was reluctant to let the elite cavalry under their command come to touch this steel-like city. The one who finally attacked Yanmen Pass was the one with one million and a half million prisoners of war.
However, although these million and five million were prisoners of war, they must not underestimate these prisoners of war.
The combat effectiveness of these prisoners of war is not much worse than that of some of the trained soldiers in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Moreover, their attacks are more wild and fierce, and they are almost fighting with Lu Bu.
This made Lu Bu very confused. After all, everyone could see what role this million and a million prisoners of war were in the Grassland Empire army.
The Grassland Empire obviously regarded them as cannon fodder. In this case, it was difficult for Lu Bu to understand why this group of cannon fodder could sacrifice his life so much.
In fact, the reason why the Grassland Empire was able to make these prisoners of war fight so hard was entirely because these cannon fodder were collected from the Grassland Empire colonies.
These cannon fodders still have their own relatives in their hometowns. Once they do not work hard or fight desperately on the battlefield, the grassland empire will attack their relatives and execute their relatives with the most cruel means.
If these cannon fodder prisoners died bravely on the battlefield, the grassland empire not only would not make things difficult for their families, but also promised that within twenty years, they would not collect taxes from their families, prisoners of war or war slaves.
This set of management methods is simple and crude but effective, allowing the war slaves under the Grassland Empire to fight in the craziest way and mentality when the battle breaks out.
One million.5 million prisoners of war who were almost dying and burst out with amazing and terrifying combat power.
Although they did not have a commander, the despair, madness and hysteria of one million and a half million people gathered together, and a special military force was created, which made the soldiers in Yanmen Pass feel inexplicably depressed.
If Yanmen Pass cannot properly handle this issue, the military power of Yanmen Pass soldiers will continue to decrease, their emotions will be constantly controlled and influenced, and eventually there will be even danger of collapse.
Fortunately, there is Gao Shun here at Yanmen Pass.
As soon as the battle broke out, Gao Shun, who was commanding the 300,000 troops of Yanmen Pass, directly gathered the military force.
Although he did not have the talent for command, the condensed military force was enough to resist the military force of the War Slave Legion. With the help of Gao Shun's good defensive command skills and various city defense equipment prepared in advance in the past two years, Gao Shun still easily suppressed the attack of the War Slave Legion.
Of course, Gao Shun himself knew very well that this relaxed battle situation would not last long.
There are too many troops on the other side. If the other side does not retreat, even if there is only one million and one million extremely crazy army, it will be difficult for them to deal with, not to mention that there are still 500,000 true elites of the Grassland Empire behind this million and one million army.
If there were no reinforcements on their side, even if their battle situation was considerable now, he would still be unable to escape the city being destroyed.
Gao Shun knew this, Lu Bu knew this, and the middle-aged man who left Yanmen Pass not long ago also knew it.
So the middle-aged man did not dare to delay for a moment. He came out of Yanmen Pass and went directly to their neighbor Youzhou.
With the rushing horse and rushing, the middle-aged literati came to Youzhou in just three days to meet the Emperor Yang Jian, the current controller of Youzhou.
When the middle-aged literati arrived, Yang Jian had already received some news about Yanmen Pass.
However, although I received the news, the authenticity of the news, the size of the grassland imperial army, and the strength of the grassland empire, Yang Jian is still questioned.
In addition, the Sui Dynasty has reached a very critical moment, so Yang Jian is somewhat unsure of paying attention to this matter.
The middle-aged literati seemed to see Yang Jian's hesitation, and without a single word, he directly signed an agreement with Yang Jian as soon as he arrived.
As long as Yang Jian was willing to send troops to reinforce, the two counties near Youzhou would be given directly to Youzhou.
The middle-aged literati used his benefits to directly break Yang Jian's hesitation. Yang Jian made a decision on the spot to support Bingzhou.
After the negotiations were made on the Great Sui side, the middle-aged literati did not dare to delay any delay. They went south to Jizhou and arrived at Jizhou. The middle-aged literati felt much more relaxed.
When he arrived, the battle at Yanmen Pass had already broken out for ten days.
In ten days, the battle situation at Yanmen Pass had already reached Jizhou.
The Han Dynasty had a more detailed understanding of the strength of the Grassland Empire, and they also knew that Lu Bu could definitely not withstand the attack of the Grassland Empire.
So the Han Dynasty actually started to prepare before the war before the middle-aged literati arrived.
However, it was the same thing for the Han Dynasty to prepare for the pre-war period. When the middle-aged literati came over, the Han Dynasty still took a bite in Bingzhou and divided two counties from Bingzhou, and then agreed to send troops.
The middle-aged literati who had sold four counties on the two countries did not stop in Jizhou for a long time, and turned around and went to Sili.
When the middle-aged literati came to Sili, the person who received him told him directly that Sili had sent troops and the army was on its way to Bingzhou.
Hearing this news, the middle-aged literati breathed a sigh of relief.
Of course, after the relaxation, the middle-aged literati did not forget to ask what they wanted.
The middle-aged literati would not believe that Cao An is so kind and so demanding no return.
In fact, Cao An did have the conditions. He wanted to appoint Lu Bu as the general of Zhenbei and would regularly support Bingzhou in the future.
This requirement seems to be a benefit, and it is much better than the two small fairies in the Han and Sui areas.
In fact, Cao An's appetite was much bigger than theirs. He was just trying to tie Lu Bu to his chariot.
The middle-aged literati who had not blinked before sold the land for the first time had hesitated for Cao An's request.
This matter is too big, and he has no choice but to mention Lu Bu’s decision, even if it’s just a simple perfunctory approach.
