Chapter 856: Tragic Siege

When the tiger prison was closed, Li Shimin did not personally command the guard because of his injury, but he handed over the responsibility of guarding the pass to his good brother Yang Guang.

Yang Guang also knew that Li Shimin let himself defend the city, in fact, he was paving the way for himself.

After losing the first battle and losing 50,000 iron cavalry, it is impossible for Li Shimin not to take responsibility for such a big mistake, and it is a question whether he can continue to serve as the main general in the future.

In addition to Li Shimin, the only candidates who are qualified to become the chief general of the Liang Army are Yang Jian, Li Yuan, and Yang Guan.

And Li Shimin is now arranging Yang Guang to defend the city, which shows that he hopes that Yang Guang will take over his class, of course, this is also the reason why he understands that Li Yuan is not Qin Hao's opponent.

Yang Guang knew that Li Shimin was kind, but he and his father Yang Jian were actually unwilling to wade into this troubled water, after all, the opponent was Qin Hao, who had never lost.

Yang Guang thinks that there is still a gap between him and Li Shimin, but Li Shimin lost to Qin Hao, how could he be Qin Hao's opponent?

Whether Yang Guang wants it or not, these are not things he can decide, Yang Guang can only wait silently in his heart, hoping that Dong Zhuo will not be stupid and withdraw Li Shimin, otherwise there will really be no one to contain Qin Hao.

With a nervous mood, Yang Guang led some of the uninjured generals to the city to guard the pass, and when he looked at the neat queue of the Cao army under the city, Yang Guang's eyes couldn't help but flash a dignified blow.

are all elites, is it necessary for Cao Cao to fight so hard?

Yang Guang secretly said in his heart, but he didn't worry too much, because he had absolute confidence in the defense of the Tiger Prison Pass.

When he saw Cao Jun blowing the trumpet of the charge, Yang Guang pulled out the sword at his waist and shouted, "The catapult is ready...... Put. ”

In the middle of the tiger prison, there is a catapult every ten meters, a total of 100.

With Yang Guang's order, thousands of stones flew together in an instant, smashing into Cao Jun's military array.

Cao Cao had long been guarding against the catapults on the Tiger Prison, so he ordered the army to charge in a loose formation, so as to avoid being hit by flying stones to the greatest extent.

The Tiger Prison throws thousands of flying stones in each round, so no matter how loose Cao Jun's formation is, there will definitely be unlucky eggs who will be hit by flying stones, and once hit, it means that there must be no doubt.

Rumble...... Rumble...... Rumble......

The flying stones in the sky were like bombers, constantly ravaging the queue of the Cao army, and bombarded the Cao army in an instant.

The miserable shouts rang out one after another, but the soldiers of the Cao army still held their shields high, risking being hit by flying stones and gritting their teeth to charge.

Soon, Cao's army rushed through the catapult's attack range, but what followed was a rain of arrows.

"Raise your shield."

I don't know who roared, and then Cao Jun's very loose formation quickly closed in tens of seconds, defending itself while protecting the archers in the rear.

At the same time, more than 20 wells of the coalition army were also pushed up by the soldiers, but a few were smashed halfway.

Although the well built by the coalition army is not as high as the city wall, it can still shoot arrows into the pass after approaching the city tower, which can also suppress the archers in the pass and cover the cloud echelon outside the pass to attack the city.

At the same time that the allied army and the Liang army archers were firing at each other, the Liang army's catapult was also aimed at the inconvenient well and the well was definitely smashed over time.

However, because Jing Qian attracted the firepower of the Liang army's catapults, the archers of the Cao army were also under the cover of shield bearers, and quickly lined up outside the city wall and shot arrows from the bottom up.

The archers on the well and the archers behind the shields suppressed the archers of the Liang army at the same time, while the soldiers carrying sandbags behind them took advantage of this to rush over and throw the sandbags into the moat, and then quickly retreated into the shield array.

The cloud echelon and the city car also rushed up together at this time, and when the cloud echelon set up the cloud ladder, the rear soldiers immediately climbed quickly, and the city car hit the city gate wildly, but the city gate had been sealed by Yang Guang in advance, and it was impossible to break it open no matter what.

Yang Guang, who was on the tower of the city, saw that Cao Jun was so skillful in attacking the city, and all the departments cooperated so skillfully, without the slightest carelessness, and he couldn't help but feel some pressure in his heart.

"The moat hasn't been filled in yet, so you sent a cloud ladder to attack the city, Cao Mengde, are you fighting like this?"

Yang Guang didn't bother to care what Cao Cao thought in his heart, the only thing he had to think about now was to keep the Tiger Prison Pass at the lowest cost.

"The catapults immediately stopped dropping flying stones, and used fire oil canisters to deal with the wells of the coalition forces."

A trace of coldness flashed in Yang Guang's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Prepare for the stone rolling wood, show me the smash, and you must not let an enemy soldier climb up,"

Cao's soldiers were obviously trained to climb, and they were very quick to climb ladders, and some of them were able to dodge rocks flexibly, although the larger rolling logs were not easy to dodge.

After the soldier in front was hit, he screamed and fell down and fell into a patty, while the soldier in the back followed, but it didn't take long for him to be smashed off as well, and it went on and on.

Suddenly, dozens of fireballs flew out of the castle tower, and smashed them in the same way as the well was located, most of course they didn't hit, and those one or two hits were enough to destroy the well.

The soldier who was affected by the oil let out a terrible scream and ran around the battlefield, but before he could take two steps, the soldiers on the side caught up and extinguished the flames on his body with sand.

There were also soldiers who used sand to extinguish the fire on the well, but after extinguishing it, the oil came again, and after repeated several times, the well was still damaged, but at this time the new well was also pushed up.

Cao Jun's current siege method is the most typical death attack at that time, and this siege method is not as good as casualties at all, so the loss in the siege battle is also the largest.

Seeing this, Cao Ren looked distressed, and then ran to Cao Cao's side, and said: "Lord, the casualties of such an attack are too great, this time in an hour, we have already lost three hundred elite soldiers, if we continue to attack like this, even if we only attack for one day, our army will pay a great price." ”

Cao Cao didn't blink his eyelids, and said lightly: "Continue to attack, and those who retreat will be killed." ”

"This ......"

"In addition, another order will be passed down, and the first person to climb the Guanhu Prison will be rewarded with a hundred catties and promoted to three levels."

Seeing Cao Cao's unquestionable appearance, Cao Ren sighed, hugged his fists and said, "No." ”

After Cao Ren left, Cao Cao also took a deep breath, and then turned his head to look deeply in the direction where the princes were.

"Troubled times are coming, if you want to be yourself, you must have enough strength."

Cao Cao's eyes flashed with a hint of discoloration, and he whispered to himself: "This demonstration should be enough, I hope those guys can have self-knowledge, otherwise when they unify Yanzhou in the future, they won't kill me." ”
