A million-strong coalition army attacked the impregnable Hulao Pass. Both the Dong thief and the coalition forces led by Yuan Shu paid close attention to this battle!
As the war horn sounded, the coalition's millions of troops were like locusts crossing the border. A large group carried various siege equipment and climbed towards the city wall of Hulao Pass. Han, as the defender,
Chu and Wu Wenhua's faces were livid. These senior officials anxiously ordered their soldiers to pour gold juice, kerosene and fire sharp arrows, using all means to prevent the coalition soldiers from climbing the city wall.
"Lord Leader, news has come back from Taigu Pass that guards Wang Feng and Shi Siming will lead their army to support Hulao Pass. Even Nangong Changwan, who is guarding Mengjin Port, seems to have the momentum to go south to support. If we are short
If we cannot capture Hulao Pass within the time limit, we will face a full-scale counterattack by Dong Thief!"
Listening to the information sent by his scouts, Yuan Shu, the leader of the alliance, frowned at this time. The walls of Hulao Pass were strong, and there were several powerful generals stationed inside. Hundreds of thousands of troops were waiting in formation and countless supplies for defending the city were hoarded.
, baggage, food and fodder, if you want to break through this barrier from the outside, it will undoubtedly be more difficult than climbing to the sky.
"Even if the coalition's millions of troops attack the key point with all their strength, there is no guarantee that they can successfully capture it in a short time. If Nangong Changwan of Mengjin and Wang Feng, Liang Lin, and Liang Fang of Taigu Pass come to support them, the coalition will probably be defeated.
If you return with a halberd, what should you do?"
Just as the alliance leader Yuan Shu was deep in thought, in the darkness behind him, a man who looked like a counselor raised his lips with a proud smile. He said confidently: "Highway, are you worried about Hulao Pass?"
Listening to the concerned words of the counselor behind him, Yuan Shu rubbed his swollen temples, turned around slowly, and then said worriedly: "Brother Zifang, now millions of soldiers from the coalition are attacking Hulao Pass. The high wall of Hulao Pass city
Jian, Han Shui, Wu Wenhua and other powerful generals and hundreds of thousands of soldiers are stationed in the defense. Outside, reinforcements from Mengjin Port and Taigu Pass are about to arrive. If this pass cannot be captured within a week, then the coalition forces will
If I return with a broken sword, I, the alliance leader, will be cast aside by the heroes!"
Zhang Liang didn't care about the worries of the alliance leader Yuan Shu at all. He pursed his lips and chuckled, a confident smile appeared on his fair and handsome face. Yuan Shu looked up and saw that he was so confident, and he couldn't help but feel happy, and he immediately stepped in front of Zhang Liang
, held his hands tightly, took the initiative to put down his posture, and asked him for help: "The battle of Hulao Pass is a key battle to help the Han Dynasty. Please help me, brother Zifang!"
Seeing his lord's sincere request for help, Zhang Liang was greatly moved. He walked gracefully towards the direction of the document with his hands behind his back, and then said loudly: "My lord, millions of troops are gathered outside Hulao Pass. The enemy will pay all their attention."
If all of them are placed on offensive and defensive battles, the pass and even the entire territory of Luoyang will inevitably be empty. If General Tu Xingsun can secretly dig a tunnel and lead the coalition army into the pass, the Hulao Pass, known as the most powerful pass in the world, will be available at your fingertips.
It can be captured!"
After listening to the strategy offered by Zhang Liang, the leader of the alliance Yuan Shu remembered that Tu Xingsun and the Fire Spirit Madonna had been lurking near Hulao Pass. As early as last month, Yuan Shu had sent members of the underworld organization to Hulao Pass.
In the pass, an olive branch was offered to Tu Xingsun and Huoling Shengsheng. After receiving the solicitation message, these two people who had already intended to join Yuan Shu, without saying a word, bowed down and worshiped, and threatened to offer a share.
A great gift, as a certificate of submission to join Yuan Shu's forces.
At that time, when Yuan Shu learned that Tu Xingsun and the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit were willing to join him, he was so excited that he didn't care about the so-called gift. After that, the underworld organizations successively sent news that Tu Xingsun and the others were digging tunnels.
Yuan Shu didn't pay too much attention to it. Now with Zhang Liang's reminder, he finally figured out the importance of digging tunnels!
"Outside Hulao Pass, there are generals and powerful generals such as Luo Shixin, Tian Yunpeng, Yu Yuan, Pei Yuanqing, and Ma Jinhua who are responsible for holding back Han Chu, Wu Wenhua, Nangong Changwan, Liang Lin, Wang Feng, Liang Fang, and the gang of thieves, as well as Han Xin,
Chang Yuchun and Xue Rengui were in charge of commanding the battlefield. Even if thieves like Shi Siming, An Lushan, and Wang Feng led their troops to Hulao Pass for support, they would immediately focus on the offensive and defensive battle of Hulao Pass and would not notice it.
The little actions of Tu Xingsun and Fire Spirit Madonna in the city."
Yuan Shu murmured to himself. After figuring out the whole process of the plan, a glimmer of gratitude flashed through his deep eyes. He held Zhang Liang's hands tightly, and then said loudly with a grateful face: "Zifang
, If we can successfully capture Hulao Pass this time, I will remember you for your great contribution. For the time being, I will go to the front line to issue orders and say goodbye!"
After bidding farewell to military advisor Zhang Liang, the leader of the alliance alliance Yuan Shu hurriedly came to the front line. He called several members of the underworld organization and ordered them to deliver new instructions to Xue Rengui, Han Xin and Chang Yuchun on the battlefield as quickly as possible.
The new directive is described below:
[Accurate news has now been received that Nangong Changwan of Mengjin Port and Shi Siming, Wang Feng, Liang Lin, Liang Fang and other generals of Taigu Pass will lead their armies to Hulao Pass to continue to support Han Shui and the others, and to support the enemy.
Before the troops arrive, the three generals must attack Hulao Pass with all their strength. If the enemy's support troops have arrived and the coalition forces have not yet conquered Hulao Pass, they should proactively reduce the siege forces and reduce casualties, and instead use it to hold back the enemy's top troops.
Combat generals as the main strategy to prepare for the next secret operation!】
After traveling through several battlefields, this latest order was handed over to Xue Rengui, who was in charge of the east gate, Han Xin, who was in charge of the west gate, and Chang Yuchun, who was in charge of the north gate. As commanders, the three of them immediately commanded their subordinates after reading the latest order.
A group of soldiers and senior generals rushed toward Hulao Pass as if they were desperate.
The fierce fighting outside Hulao Pass was in full swing, like a bloody meat grinder. The attacking coalition camp lost an average of nearly three to four thousand soldiers every day. In the evening, the two camps ceased their activities to collect the bodies of the casualty soldiers.
, the bodies of damaged soldiers from the coalition forces could fill hundreds of wooden carts every time.
The five consecutive days of defeat made the coalition princes feel discouraged. Everyone was silent at the princes meeting. This put great pressure on Yuan Shu, who served as the leader of the alliance. He wanted to open his mouth several times to say something to inspire the soldiers, but he looked scarred.
The princes and generals swallowed up everything they wanted to say.
"Lord Leader, according to intelligence information, at noon tomorrow, the enemy support troops from Taigu Pass and Mengjin Port will arrive at Hulao Pass. According to our current progress in attacking Hulao Pass, if the enemy's support troops arrive as soon as
, the slight advantages we have worked so hard to gain these days will all be in vain, what else can we use to conquer Hulao Pass? Even if we spend the lives of millions of soldiers, we still can't knock on the door of Hulao Pass!"
