Lu Dynasty

Chapter 540 Storming the Tiger Prison
Both Zhang He and Xu Huang in history left the original lord to go to Cao Cao, but Xu Huang did it because Yang Feng looked down on him at all. Wei, and Yang Feng colluded with the Baibo Yellow Turban Bandit to become a traitor who hijacked him, and Xu Huang was forced to leave him.And Zhang He left Yuan Shao because of Guo Tu's framing, if he didn't leave, he would be the one to die!During the Three Kingdoms period, there were many loyal people, and there were also many foolish and loyal people. I don't want my subordinates to be foolish and loyal, but I can guarantee that they are absolutely loyal!

Cao knew what Xun Yu said was true, but he couldn't just retreat like this!It is just a Hulao pass, which has already caused Cao to lose his halberd twice.When Hulao Pass blocked Cao's way, he could be said to be Yuan Shao's incompetence.Now, Hulaoguan has once again become a stumbling block in front of him. Should Cao admit that he is not as good as me this time?Cao is not reconciled, but he has no choice!Seeing the helpless Xun Yu and Cheng Yu, Cao decided to storm Hulao Pass!Lu Bu can't bother Cao, what do you want to do!Cao wanted to storm Hulao Pass, but Lv Bu had no objection, he only cared about killing people!Although Lu Bu is just a violent murderer, Xu Huang and Zhang He really admire him!Brother Xiahou fought with Zhang He and the others for many days, and Zhang He and the others knew the abilities of Brother Xiahou very well!But Lu Bu just let them shout out and retreated. This was something that Zhang He and Xu Huang had never thought about!
The next day, Cao led his troops to Hulao Pass again, and he asked the principal to give an ultimatum to the pass. Lu Bu just repeated the six words that I had pirated Genghis Khan back then, and then made a provocative gesture, He no longer cares about Cao.Seeing Lu Bu's resolute attitude, Cao had to order a breakthrough!Seriously, Cao Qiang's attack on Hulao Pass was a very wrong move!Sun Tzu's Art of War said: Attacking the city is the bottom, attacking the heart is the top!Cao could have bypassed Xingyang instead of attacking Hulao Pass, but he was more afraid of fighting our army in the field.Cao felt that his tiger and leopard cavalry could not stand up to the cavalry under my command.However, it is also true.The cavalry of our army are all horses on the prairie, almost all of them are first-class war horses.What they used were hundred-refined weapons. Although they were not as good as weapons made of pure steel, they were much stronger than Cao's iron weapons and Liu Bei who was using bronze weapons!If I didn't have time to get out the steel furnace, I would equip them with steel weapons!The reason why I didn't get out the steel-making furnace is because I don't know how to build it. Ma Jun and the others are still working on it!
In fact, when Cao saw Lu Bu, he should understand that Hulao Pass is not so easy to win!Back then when the Hulao Pass was closed, the [-]th princes of the Guandong had more than [-] troops and hundreds of generals. They still had nothing to do with the Hulao Pass guarded by Lu Bu!At that time, Cao also had Xiahou brothers and Cao brothers, but they were beaten as usual and threw away their helmets and armor.If it wasn't for Wei Zi's life in exchange, and I don't want to kill him, Cao's head has long been made into an ornament by Dong Zhuo and hung on the city wall. How could he come to Hulaoguan to look for me again!

Attacking by force was the most disadvantageous thing for the attacker in ancient wars. Otherwise, Sun Tzu would not have said that when attacking a city by force, at least five times the strength of the opponent should be required.Cao did have five times the strength of Hulaoguan this time, but Hulaoguan is not a city, it only has one wall for Cao to attack.Cao's siege order was issued, and the soldiers were like ants.The ladders, siege vehicles, and rushing vehicles were all pushed out from Cao's army.Lu Bu shook his head and shouted: "Cao Mengde! Are you still using these outdated things? Let me open your eyes! Come on! Get ready for the thunderbolt chariot!" Our army's thunderbolt chariot was improved by Liu Ye of the Ministry of Industry and Ma Jun The product.Hulaoguan is only three hours away from Luoyang, plus the road I built with cement.The improved trebuchets and assembled trebuchets that Ma Jun and the others had sent to Hulao Pass long before I set out to fight against the foreigners.As soon as Lu Bu gave an order, a team of people rushed out and began to assemble and transport the catapult.Before Cao's troops touched the city wall, nearly ten catapults had already opened fire on Cao's army.Twenty or thirty kilograms of stones fell on Cao Jun's soldiers like meteorites. For those who were unfortunately hit, I can only mourn in silence for them!
The ladder is not a big threat to the siege, but the rush car is different from the siege vehicle.These two things will destroy the gates and walls.Ma Jun's catapult is really awesome. It is not only easy to assemble, but also can adjust the angle.Jushou looked at the rushing chariots and siege engines approaching slowly, and immediately let all the trebuchets aim together, and directly smashed and smashed Cao Jun's rushing chariots and siege engines!Looking at the one-sided situation on the battlefield, Cao felt as if a small flame in his heart was burning bigger and bigger!When Lu Bu almost destroyed Cao's siege chariot and rush chariot, Cao Jun's soldiers carrying ladders also came to Guanxia!As long as you get close to the pass, long-range strike weapons like catapults are useless!But the pass guarded by Lu Bu, Xu Huang, and Zhang He, how can some miscellaneous soldiers be able to conquer it?

When Cao saw that his soldiers finally got close to Hulao Pass but no one could attack it, he angrily ordered: "Whoever can attack Hulao Pass will be promoted to three ranks and rewarded with a hundred taels of gold!" There must be a brave man!There is also a saying: people die for money, birds die for food!A hundred gold is worth a thousand taels of silver, and one tael of silver is enough for a poor family for a year.A wealthy family can spend at most ten taels of silver a year!With Cao's order, Cao's soldiers began to attack wildly.

After fighting for three or four hours, the sky began to slowly turn dark.Although Zhang He and Xu Huang are very brave, they are also very tired after killing too many people.It's like chopping ribs. Someone may be able to chop a hundred catties of ribs in a short period of time, but if you let him chop for a day, he will be exhausted. Although Zhang He and Xu Huang are good at martial arts, their endurance is poor It's a little bit, and they can't compare with non-humans like Lu Bu!As long as it is killing people, Lu Bu will become more and more excited!Ju Shou looked at Zhang He and Xu Huang who were panting heavily, and slapped their foreheads. He divided the Hulao soldiers into three groups. Zhang He and Xu Huang each led a team, and the remaining team was of course on night duty!

After dark, Cao Jun finally retreated, leaving only a pile of corpses on the ground!Looking at the three of Lü Bu who were exhausted, Ju Shou led a group of soldiers, endured a strong urge to clean up the tragic battlefield!You must know that if the corpse is not disposed of in time, a plague may occur.Although it is approaching winter now, we have to guard against it!Even though the plague in the Han Dynasty may be just a small problem in my opinion, I am not a medical student. I only know that most of the plague in the Han Dynasty can be treated with Western medicine, but I can’t find Western medicine in the Han Dynasty!
