Chapter 468: Surprise Attack
The fierce battle lasted until dusk, and the night was approaching, and the sound of gold resounded in the vast land.
Bell bell bell ~ bell ~~
The front-line soldiers who attacked the fortified positions heard the signal to retreat, and even though they were unwilling to stop, no one dared to disobey the order and retreated like a tide.
"The enemy is back! The enemy is back! ”
Shouts rang out from the walls, and among these excited sounds were countless dying moans and whimpering screams of pain.
The Tiger Prison Pass under the sunset was full of blood, and the air was filled with a strong bloody atmosphere, Li Dao, Guo Yan and other generals guarding the pass were covered in blood and mess, panting, staring at the retreating army like a tide, and their tired bodies leaned against the city wall and exhaled.
The Tiger Prison Pass was finally held.
For the next few days, the coalition forces attacked day by day, giving the defenders no respite.
Both sides suffered heavy casualties, tens of thousands.
…………
In the Tiger Prison Pass, in the hall of the meeting, Dong Zhuo, who was wearing the robe of Yonggui Taishi, had a calm face, and sat in his position to listen to the casualty reports of his generals.
"When I was in Luoyang, the old man should have killed them all! Destroy the house! After listening to the report, Dong Zhuo's face was hideous, and a pair of thick and fat hands slapped on the table with resentment.
There is no regret medicine in the world, and it is too late to say anything at this time.
The Kwantung princes had a tough attitude, and they were attacking day by day, and there was a momentum of 'not breaking the tiger prison and never returning'.
After so many days of fierce fighting, there has been no weakening.
Dong Zhuo was jealous in his heart, now he is no longer the Dong Zhongying who crisscrosses Xiliang. The pride of the past years, the horse leather shroud, I don't know where it went, and it disappeared.
A few days ago, Dong Zhuo asked Li Dao to tell Sun Jian for him, promising to promote Sun Jian's children to serve as important positions in various places to assassinate and guard counties, and wanted to form a new strategic alliance through marriage. And hoped that Sun Jian, the Jiangdong Tiger, could fight back and help him repel the rebels.
As a result, the marriage failed, but was scolded by Sun Jian.
Retracting his thoughts, Dong Zhuo set his irritable anger, glanced at the generals in the circle, and said in a low voice: "Tell me your opinions." ”
The generals look at me, I look at you, and finally Guo Yan was the representative, got up and hugged his fists and replied: "Taishi, the thief army is very numerous, and they are tireless in knocking on the customs for days. Our soldiers have suffered countless casualties, and there is a serious shortage of logistical herbs to stop bleeding, but as long as you give an order, we are willing to fight to the death. ”
"Willing to fight to the death!"
All the generals in the hall stood up, their voices were loud, and they responded with their fists.
The more the generals showed their attitudes, Dong Zhuo felt guilty, and he began to regret the impulse of that day, he should not have killed Yuan Kui and angered Yuan Shao and others.
"You have been with the old man for so many years, galloping and killing, licking blood from the knife, and you have not enjoyed a few days of peace. There's no reason for you all to confess here, there are enough dead sons, wait until late at night, and then evacuate here and return to Luoyang. ”
Dong Zhuo sighed, his fierce face looking a little tired. He has suffered many defeats in his life, but he has never been so powerless as he is today.
The generals were silent and did not speak, and in their dictionary of life, it was a coward to abandon the city and leave.
"Taishi, there is a plan, maybe you can break the Kanto rats." A clear voice sounded in the hall.
Dong Zhuo and the other generals looked at the people who spoke, ranking first, with purple and gold crowns, military robes, tall and tall bodies, and lofty instruments.
It was Wenhou Lu Bu, who was in the limelight in front of the Tiger Prison a few days ago.
Recalling that day, Lu Bu beheaded thirteen enemy generals in front of the Tiger Prison Pass, and then defeated Yan Liangwen Chou, broke Zhang Fei, retreated from Guan Yu, and fought evenly under the siege of the Xiahou brothers, Zhang He, and Wu Anguo. In the end, he also broke Wu Anguo's wrist, causing him to flee in the wilderness.
Since that day, Lu Bu's name can be said to be a megatron.
This star rising high in the sky is so dazzling that many people who practice martial arts can't even give birth to the idea of transcendence, so they can only look at it and sigh.
I don't know when it began, among the two armies, there was such a saying: Lu Bu among the people, and Chi Su among the horses.
Regarding Lu Bu's true appearance, most of the soldiers have never seen it, but most of the descriptions of his appearance are already familiar: nine feet long, with extraordinary strength, holding the invincible Fang Tian Halberd in his hand, and wearing a fluttering robe of flowers behind his back.
One person is an army of thousands of horses.
Dong Zhuo heard that Lu Bu had a plan, and hope suddenly rose on his face, and he hurriedly asked, "What is Feng Xian's opinion?" ”
If they can win, who is willing to abandon the barrier and leave.
The generals in the tent also cast their eyes, and Lu Bu didn't go around in circles, and went straight to the point: "I think that the people on whom the coalition forces rely are nothing more than the number of people. However, the daily supply of grain and grass consumed by hundreds of thousands of allied soldiers is also huge. If they can burn down their grain and grass camps, within ten days, the coalition army will be defeated! ”
If you want a horse to run, you have to give it grass.
Once there is a grain and grass crisis, without Dong Zhuo's action, the coalition forces will be in chaos first.
Dong Zhuo pondered in his position, as the commander-in-chief of the command, he had to weigh the risks and pros and cons before he could make the final decision.
"Wen Hou's idea is good, but it is too difficult to implement." Duan Xuan, who had a lot of brains, got up, he didn't mean to target Lu Bu, but he had his own worries: "There are countless enemy scouts planted around the Tiger Prison Pass, and they will lead the army out of the pass with great fanfare, I am afraid that they will be intercepted by them before they reach the other party's grain and grass camp." ”
When Li Dao, Guo Yan and other generals heard this, they nodded one after another. If this matter is known to the other party, and take the opportunity to set up an ambush, it is very likely that there will be no return.
Lu Bu obviously expected this, shook his head slightly, and his indifferent tone was full of confidence: "General Duan's worries are not unreasonable, and it is indeed not a good strategy to attack head-on, but we ...... You can go around the back. ”
Wrap around?
The generals in the hall did not know what to do.
Only Dong Zhuo's fierce eyes flashed with an imperceptible cunning, and he looked at Lu Bu: "Feng first said ......"
Lu Bu nodded, with great confidence on his handsome face, and said firmly: "That's right, send elite cavalry from Mengjin to the north, cross the river through Hanoi, and go straight to the rear base camp of the Kwantung Coalition Army-Sour Jujube!" ”
Almost all of the hundreds of thousands of troops of the coalition army were outside the Tiger Prison Pass, and only 20,000 troops of Yuan Shu were left behind to guard the sour dates, responsible for transporting supplies and supplying the front line.
The princes were busy tackling key problems, and no one would have thought that Dong Zhuo would send people to make a detour from Mengjin to the rear and raid their stronghold.
In fact, according to Lu Bu's calculations, even if there is no surprise sneak attack, if Dong Zhuo dares to stick to the fierce battle, he will at least be able to fight with the coalition forces.
It's a pity that Dong Zhuo has no mentality to fight for his life.
If he is allowed to command, he can at least be seventy percent sure.
Why?
The rough men under his command will tell you that because of the name 'Lu Bu', they already have a two-point chance of winning!
