The God of War in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 473 The Siege Battle Begins
Hulao shut down.

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao led the army to stand under the city wall.

They were the first echelon sent by Chen Ran to attack the city. Cao Cao had 3 people, and Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu had more than 4 people, making a total of more than 7 people.

The number of people is already larger than that of the defenders in Hulao Pass, but things are not the same.With the convenience of the defenders occupying Hulao Pass, it is impossible for such people to take down Hulao Pass.

They are the vanguard, and their purpose is not to break through the Hulao pass, but to consume the enemy and attract the attention of the enemy.This is also because their army's combat effectiveness is slightly inferior.

It is naturally extremely difficult to take down Hulao Pass in one go. From Chen Ran's point of view, it is natural to attack in stages. As the saying goes, one go at a time, then decline, and three times. If you attack in turn, the morale of the enemy army will be eliminated the fastest.

"Meng De, let's start!" Yuan Shao's expression was a little serious. They were the vanguard, and although they had no intention of winning, they couldn't return. If they failed and returned, it would only make the enemy more arrogant.

Cao Cao also looked the same, but he was much more relaxed. In fact, he was somewhat sure in his heart. He nodded slightly and said, "Beat the drum! Siege the city!"

The army was already ready to go, and it only waited for the order to attack, and naturally attacked Hulao Pass.The [-] army is huge, especially the Xiahou brothers and Yan Liangwenchou and other strong generals are among them.

They are the main force. Although it is impossible to fight for the family fortune, the two still have to do their best.Besides, the two of them were originally interested in attacking Dong Zhuo.

Drums start.

One sound, deafening.

This is full of sense of rhythm, giving people a great appeal, as if hearing the sound of the drum beating, it will make people's spirits uplifted and their blood boiling.

"kill!"

Before the big army, although Yuan Shao's army and Cao Cao's army did not have a completely unified command, the order to attack was the sound of the battle drum.So when they heard the drumbeat, they began to charge.

The siege tools such as ladders are naturally already prepared.Under the leadership of Xiahou Brothers, Yan Liangwen Chou and others, many ladders began to be erected on the tower of Hulao Pass, and many soldiers climbed up.

At the same time, the siege vehicles, driven by the concerted efforts of many soldiers, began to charge towards Hulaoguan City Gate, and the heavy wooden stakes launched an impact with a bang bang bang.

The offensive of the coalition forces is very fierce. Both Yuan Shao and Cao Cao have exhausted their strength to engage in this wave. With the addition of the Xiahou brothers and others, how can the offensive not be fierce?
But at the same time, the defenders in Hulao Pass did not give up their resistance. Their counterattack was also extremely crazy and powerful.

Before that, Hua Xiong had already prepared the equipment for strict defense, such as rolling logs and boulders, etc., were all ready.Arrows, etc. are also numerous.

At this moment, Guo Si and Li Jue were standing on top of the city. This was an important moment of life and death, and they naturally couldn't take it lightly.

Their eyes were focused on the coalition forces attacking frantically under the city, and their brows were slightly frowned. It was unavoidable that they were a little worried, there were a total of 20 coalition forces!Enough to make the two of them despair.

However, Dong Zhuo gave the order to die. Although they were a little afraid, they didn't dare to disobey it at all. To them, Dong Zhuo's order was an imperial decree and they dared not disrespect it.

"The enemy is attacking the city. Today is a moment of life and death. No one can slack off. Only by swearing to the death will there be a chance of survival. Come, beat the drums, and fight!"

Li Jue said unequivocally that at this critical moment, he couldn't care less about anything.At this moment, all the troops in Hulao Pass had already gone up to the tower, because they knew very well that this was a battle with great disparity, and at the same time it was a decisive battle.

They only have one chance, and if they make any mistakes because of this, they will never be able to recover.

Fortunately, this pass is different from the city, but it is built in a dangerous position. When attacking, it can only break in from the front, but cannot surround it from all sides.

It was precisely because of this that the two were able to concentrate all their troops in one place, and vowed to resist the coalition attack to the death.

The sound of beating drums sounded from the city tower, which also made people feel excited. The soldiers guarding the city wall had stern faces, and they could deeply feel the horror of the enemies outside Hulao Pass.

A ladder was set up, and a large number of coalition forces rushed up.The defenders on the city tower also began to fight, all kinds of stones, rolling logs, and even hot oil, etc., all killed the attacking army.

"The enemy army is so well prepared, it seems that this battle is indeed a hard one!" Cao Cao saw the battle at Hulao Pass from a distance, frowned slightly, and said with some vigilance.

Yuan Shao was also a little nervous. In today's battle, he didn't know how many troops he lost. These troops were all drawn up by themselves, so they cherished them very much.

However, the current situation does not allow the two of them to think too much.

The army continued to siege the city, and this is how battles are. It is impossible not to die, and it is normal for dead people to die.

On the battlefield, swords and guns have no eyes, and no one knows whether they will live or die in the next moment. The battle is so cruel, so cruel that it makes people desperate.

The garrison in Hulao Pass defended in an orderly manner.Now that the situation is dangerous, the two of Li Jue naturally discussed for a long time and did not dare to slack off.

With the uninterrupted impact of the coalition forces, there were also a few bottom-up arrows that rushed towards the top of the tower, which inevitably caused some casualties.

These attacks slightly weakened the enemy's defense and gave the coalition forces some breathing time. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's two armies all seized the time and charged at high speed.

As a result, under the charge of the army, someone actually broke through to the tower.However, there is no one to back it up.Without other support, he was soon killed under the siege of the enemy.

Under the fighting of the army, there were constant screams. This is inevitable, and no one can change it.

Some people fell to the ground under the impact of the enemy's rolling logs. Falling from such a height is not fatal, but it is not comfortable. If it is not good, it may become disabled or even a vegetable.

The battle was extremely stalemate for a while, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao paid close attention to the battle situation, but they were silent and said nothing, looking at their expressions, it was indeed a bit nervous.

The battle continues.

On the tower, Li Jue said in a cold voice: "The enemy's offensive is too fierce. All the generals obey the order and fight to the death without retreating. Don't let the enemy take advantage of it."

The defenders responded loudly.Most of these soldiers were from Xiliang. They followed Dong Zhuo and were extremely loyal. Naturally, they could not be easily shaken.

It is precisely because of this kind of loyalty that the two of Li Jue are confident that they may have a chance to fight against the coalition forces this time.This is almost able to become their support.
