Chapter 204: Fighting at Hulao Pass (for book friends HBHJF

Wang Xiao led Huang Zhong and the others to ride into Hulao Pass.

The heavy city gate was immediately closed, and a large number of soldiers rushed over with bags filled with sand, gravel and soil to block the city gate.

Let’s complain about the plot in the film and television dramas here.

During the siege in the film and television drama, the city gate was covered with a layer of wood, at most a layer of paint was painted.

But in real siege battles, the city gates will be blocked.

It is either a stone, a soil, or other messy things. It is necessary to completely block the city gate.

After being blocked, even if the siege can break the city gate, it will not be able to get in the face of the blockage inside.

Yuan Shao, who was extremely angry, tried his best to urge his troops to attack Hulao Pass, but it was not so easy to defeat such a powerful pass in the world.

Moreover, they lacked siege equipment and had to ants to attack the city.

The coalition soldiers faced the strong city defense and resisted the rolling wood and rocks, and the rain of gold juice and arrows suffered heavy losses.

After a whole day of fierce battle, the coalition forces lost thousands of people, but they didn't even climb the city wall several times.

It was not until it was getting late that the troops were gradually withdrawing.

"It's impolite to come but not go." Wang Xiao called out to Zhang Liao and told him, "You can take people out of the city to attack the camp in the evening, and if others don't beat you, you will hit Yuan Shao."

"Here."

After all, the coalition forces are coalition forces. They are essentially not subordinate to each other, but they are nominally obeying Yuan Shao's orders. The camps of each family are stationed separately. If anyone is beaten, there will definitely not be many who dare to come out to rescue them.

During the day, all troops suffered losses. In addition, they were defeated when they fought against the generals alone, and even the famous Hebei general Yan Liang and Wen Chou were killed. The morale of the army was very low.

In the evening, all departments were treating the wounded and busy building siege equipment. Then Zhang Liao's night attack troops arrived.

More than a thousand elite soldiers rushed to Yuan Shao's camp, filled a trench, pulled down a fence, and then rushed into the camp and set fire everywhere.

Zhang Liao's troops were not interested in fighting, and they immediately withdrew after igniting fires everywhere.

When Yuan Shao's soldiers came to their senses and came to surround and intercept them, they had already run away.

The surrounding battalions were also in chaos, and some came to support and some closed the camp gate to watch. In the chaos overnight, they could not kill many Zhang Liao's troops, but their own people fought happily.

The next day, Yuan Shao's face turned darker when he learned that only his camp had been attacked.

On that day, the Kanto Alliance Army was busy building siege equipment, but did not siege the city. However, at night, except for Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's troops, everyone else felt that there was no night attack that came yesterday.

Then, Huang Zhong led two thousand small men to raid Tao Qian's military camp, killing a man who was overturned.

On the third night, all the angry coalition troops were waiting for the battle, waiting to surround and kill the brave night attackers.

However, they had their eyes red and they had to endure until dawn, and they didn't even see their hair.

After dawn, the yawning coalition forces pushed various siege equipment toward Hulao Pass.

"Highway, you are the leader."

Yuan Shao frowned and ordered Yuan Shu to die first.

For a world-class pass like Hulao Pass, if you want to conquer it head-on, you can only use your own lives to fill it.

This time it was considered a total attack, and those who took the first one would definitely suffer heavy losses.

"Why!" Yuan Shu was very dissatisfied with this.

"Your troops are strong and your previous battles are not much to lose. If you don't go, would you let Lord Tao go?"

Tao Qian was attacked at night before and suffered a very tragic loss. Not to mention taking the lead, it is difficult to put the team at the end.

Yuan Shu glared at his half-brother with red eyes, and his eyes seemed to ignite Yuan Shao.

They are indeed brothers, but Yuan Shao was adopted by Yuan Cheng, and they became nominal brothers.

"My Yuan family has four generations and three masters, and they are famous all over the world. At this time, do you want to lose face of my Yuan family?"

Yuan Shao looked at his brother coldly and directly used the righteousness of the Yuan family to suppress him.

If you want to be the boss, you can always make some statements in front of your younger brothers. If you encounter a tough battle, let me die, as that will make people's hearts disperse.

Yuan Shao didn't want to lose his strength, so he pushed his competitor Yuan Shu out at this time.

If Yuan Shu wants to compete with his brother, the Yuan family is his greatest reliance. He cannot lose the reputation of the Yuan family no matter what.

Even though he knew that this was the strategy used by Yuan Shao, he had to pinch his nose and respond.

Yuan Shu in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a stupid idiot, but in fact, as the legitimate son of the Yuan family, he received elite education since he was a child. How could he be a idiot?

After returning to the camp, Yuan Shu immediately sent people to arrest the local people as meat shields.

Even though most of the people have escaped, there are still some people who are unable to leave their hometowns or who are unable to move around. I hope that God can open his eyes and let them escape this disaster.

Unfortunately, it has been cloudy recently.

Forced by the sharp blade of the supervision team, these people were crying and pushing the shield car, ladder, rushing car and even the Lu Gong car slowly towards Hulao Pass.

Shield chariots are mainly used to defend against crossbow shooting and cover their own crossbows to suppress the city.

The cloud ladder is a device with wheels and shields. It can be directly climbed to the city wall.

Those who carry ladders in movies and TV dramas are all nonsense. At most, they can only be considered long ladders, and can be broken even if they throw stones and roll wood.

When rushing, there is a thick wooden shield on the top of your head and it is covered with skin, which can prevent fire and smash, and is used to smash the city gate.

As for Lu Gongche, it is said that it was invented by the famous Jiang Taigong. Because his fief is Lu, he is called Lu Gong.

Of course, this is just a legend. In fact, this is the siege tower. For the specific style, you can refer to the Battle of the Perano Plains in the Lord of the Rings movie, the large siege tower used by the siege orcs.

This is a large siege equipment that is as high as the city wall, and can go directly to the top through an internal ladder and jump into the city wall to fight closely.

More than 100,000 Kanto Alliance almost cut off all the nearby trees and houses, and used them all for this.

Looking at the large number of siege equipment densely packed in the distance, Wang Xiao was not nervous at all, but laughed instead.

The reason why he came to Hulao Pass a few days late was because he stayed in Luoyang City to supervise the construction of equipment.

As a killer, the musket production is insufficient and it is not yet available. However, the catapult and crossbow can be found.

The manpower trenchers in the public sending class are too cumbersome and heavy and troublesome. Wang Xiao gave an improved model, which greatly improved both in terms of power and range. Moreover, the large amount of steel components used, and the manpower demand was greatly reduced.

This trencher, which can launch dozens or hundreds of kilograms of stones, is a powerful tool for dealing with siege equipment.

As for the crossbow, there is nothing to say. The man originally had it and the quality is very good.

Wang Xiao was not idle these two days. He arranged people to place a large number of guardian equipment on the top of the city, and sent people to mark the distance lines outside the city with stones as marks.

When the large instruments crossed the stone and entered the range, dozens of trenchers roared and smashed the stones out.

This kind of thing should not be considered accuracy, but rely entirely on range coverage to improve hit rate.

Dozens of big rocks hit him, and two shield cars were smashed.

Many shirtless men came forward shouting slogans, twisted the winch and pulled the trench down. Then they put the heavy stones into the throwing spoon and fixed them.

Then there was the second round of projectiles.

Round after round of stones flew over, and many siege equipment were smashed.

Especially a Lu Bus filled with people was broken in the waist, and dozens of people suddenly screamed and fell down.

The bed crossbow then joined the shooting competition.

The crossbow used for bed crossbows is very large, the size of the arm. The powerful force is enough to make him shoot more than a thousand meters away.

If you are hit on the front of this thing, you will be nailed directly to the ground if you wear several layers of heavy armor.

Even if it is a thick shield car, it will be directly penetrated and broken when hit at close range.

The siege party was holding back the crossbows and stones flying all over the sky, and endured huge casualties and approached the city wall step by step.

Finally, the Yuan Shujun crossbowmen who were hiding behind the shield car came out sideways, holding the crossbows to suppress and shoot at the top of the city.

The defenders were not showing any weakness, and a large number of crossbowmen stepped forward to shoot and suppress each other.

The rushing car finally arrived in front of the city gate. Dozens of men in high-end costumes pushed the huge wooden rolling wood with sharpened heads, hitting the city gate again and again like a pendulum.

The defenders on the city wall threw down the rocks and rolled wood and smashed the rushing car, but they couldn't smash the skin of the rushing car.

Then he threw down the turmeric oil, which immediately turned into a sea of ​​fire. Unfortunately, the Peak, who was rushing the car, deliberately dealt with the fire, but it still did not burn.

The cloud ladder leaned against the foot of the city wall, and dozens of people held shields to fix the cloud ladder. Then a large number of soldiers climbed up the ladder with swords in one hand and the other.

The guards tried to overthrow the ladder with a fork, but they failed to do anything. The ladder was fixed very firmly.

When the soldiers climb up, they can only fight in close combat.

The only two remaining Lv buses finally leaned against the city wall.

The baffle covered with heavy cowhide fell down, and the iron hook on the edge stuck to the city wall. A large number of shield-holding soldiers shouted and jumped towards the city wall.

But they were greeted by dozens of dense spear arrays.

The battle situation has become fierce and extremely tragic.

"My people are almost dead, it's time to replace them!"

Yuan Shu roared with a pale face.

Although most of them were captured, two or three thousand of them were his troops. Especially those soldiers who rushed to the city were all elite soldiers whom he finally recruited and trained.

Yuan Shao ignored his brother's terrible look that seemed to be able to eat people, and his eyes fell on the Jizhou Mu Han Fu.

Han Fu was also a little scared at the fierce battle in front of Hulao Pass. But the Yuan family members were all in, so they couldn't refuse. They could only bite the bullet and send their troops to take over the attack.

This fierce battle lasted from morning to sunset.

All the princes took turns to fight, and after scouting all the siege equipment, they retreated unwillingly.

The corpses were piled up like mountains under Hulao Pass, and the strong smell of blood attracted a large number of crows to circling in the sky.

The wailing of the wounded was chilling.

Wang Xiao took a deep breath and looked at the Kanto Alliance Army camp in the distance.
