Three Kingdoms: Warriors Lu Bu, You Can Become Stronger By Killing Enemies

Chapter [31] The Attack And Defense Of Hulao Pass (Ask For Flowers And Collections)

Ten will encircle it, and five will attack it.

If there are ten times as many troops, the best strategy is to encircle the city.

At this moment, there are only 20,000 troops in Hulao Pass, although the eighteen princes are not clear about this.

But Dong Zhuo directly took away the large army under their noses. It is an indisputable fact that there are not many troops in Hulaoguan.

And the total force of the Eighteenth Route princes is more than ten times that of Lu Bu.

If the strategy of encircling and not attacking is adopted, it is undoubtedly the safest and superior strategy.

However, the princes of the Eighteenth Route were anxious to make meritorious deeds, and they also wanted to quickly break through the Hulao Pass and enter Luoyang earlier, so they had the current plan of Sun Jian leading troops to attack.

However, the Eighteenth Route princes put out a total of 60,000 troops, which was only three times that of the guards at Hulao Pass.

Although there are quite a few, Hulao Pass is a powerful pass. If these troops want to take Hulao Pass, it will be very difficult, and it may not be successful.

"Boom boom boom..."

Following Sun Jian's military order, the fierce sound of war drums sounded in the wilderness, stimulating the nerves of every soldier.

Then the horn of attack sounded, and 60,000 troops were dispatched, and Sun Jian did not make any reservations.

60,000 troops are not too many, if some troops are intercepted, it will be even more difficult to attack Hulao Pass.

What's more, as the offensive side, Sun Jian didn't need to stay behind.

Behind Sun Jian was the camp of the eighteenth princes, and there were countless soldiers and horses inside. With the support of the army behind him, Sun Jian had the confidence to press the whole army.

Lu Bu stood at the head of the city, watching the tide-like army rushing in, without any expression of fear on his face.

In siege warfare, there is basically no need for any strategies. The attacker can only be tough and use the lives of soldiers to fill it up. Only when a sufficient price is paid can the city be completely gnawed down.

As a defender, you need to desperately block the attacker, and there are no tricks that can come in handy.

"I'll leave the command of the city defense to you," Lu Bu told the three generals.

"Your Majesty, don't worry." Zhang Liao and the others all embraced their orders.

The so-called defensive command is nothing more than when to let the soldiers shoot arrows and when to let the soldiers throw stones down. There is no technical difficulty. A centurion with a little experience is enough to be competent for this kind of command. In terms of difficulty.

After Lu Bu finished speaking, he immediately fetched the carved bow.

The enemy attacking the city at this moment has not yet entered the shooting range of the defenders, but has already entered the firing range of Lu Bu.

Bending the bow and setting the arrow, the five-stone bow was in Lu Bu's hand, and it was easily drawn like a small slingshot.

Slightly squinting his eyes to observe, Lu Bu saw the military general rushing to the front, wearing armor, at least he was a school lieutenant in the army, otherwise he wouldn't be able to match this kind of equipment.

"Whoosh!"

The bow is like a thunderbolt.

Three hundred paces away, a school lieutenant who was leading an army charge fell to the ground and was killed by Lu Bu with an arrow!

"Your Majesty is good at archery, it's amazing!" Xu Rong couldn't help but praise.

For Lu Bu's ability, Xu Rong also admired it from the bottom of his heart. This level of archery attainment is really beyond the reach of ordinary people. It is estimated that it is not far behind the famous archers in history.

Lu Bu remained expressionless and continued to hold his breath, shooting arrows one after another, and specially selected those officers who were wearing armor and who could be identified at a glance to kill them.

In ancient marches and battles, military orders must be issued layer by layer through messengers.

When Sun Jian issued an order, countless messengers had to first inform the school lieutenant of the content of the general's order, the school lieutenant then informed the army commander down, and the army commander down told the centurion...and so on.

Once an officer in a certain link in the middle dies, it will undoubtedly be very troublesome to issue military orders.

Moreover, when fighting in front of the battle, it is often necessary to adapt to the situation, and Sun Jian cannot command everything, otherwise the army will look very dull.

These low-level and middle-level officers are just playing the role of adapting to the situation, and can immediately order a response when a situation arises.

Lu Bu is currently shooting and killing middle-level officers of the coalition forces, with the purpose of partially paralyzing the coalition forces.

Moreover, Lu Bu shooting and killing middle-level officers in this way is tantamount to a blow to the head. A head-on blow will cause a huge blow to the morale of the coalition forces.

Everyone in the middle-level officers is in danger, and after the officers are killed, the soldiers below will be leaderless and have no one to command.

Sun Jian listened to the casualty report from below. In just a short while, before the army rushed to the city, more than a dozen mid-level officers had died, and his expression was extremely ugly.

"Send the order, the army charges at full speed!"

"When the captain is dead, the military commander is on top; when the military commander is dead, the thousand commander is on top; when the thousand commander is dead, the centurion is on top!" Sun Jian also responded quickly.

Soon, the coalition forces quickly approached Hulao Pass.

Lu Bu killed more than a dozen middle-level officers, and he could only damage the morale of the enemy army in a small area. It is obviously impossible to directly influence the trend of the battlefield.

"Get ready, let go!"

Zhang Liao yelled loudly, and the beat rhythm of the soldiers beating the drums changed obviously.

Regardless of the Bingzhou Army or the Xiliang Army, they are all veterans in the army and are very familiar with the changes in drum beats.

After confirming the signal conveyed by the drumbeat, they all let go of the bowstring in their hands without hesitation.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

For a moment, the arrows were like locusts, densely packed, like locusts, flying towards the coalition forces locked in Hulao.

"Well!"

"ah!"

When the rain of arrows fell, there were continuous screams from below, one after another, continuously.

Soldiers fell to the ground one after another, some were still able to get up, and some were shot directly. They were breathing more and breathing less, and the bodies that fell on the ground twitched from time to time, as if saying that they were not dead yet. .

The defenders on the top of the city did not stop without a wave of arrows.

These old soldiers didn't even bother to look at their results. After shooting an arrow, they didn't stop moving at all. They bent their bows and set their arrows again.

There are densely packed enemy troops below, and there is no need to aim at all. Shooting more arrows at this moment is the most important thing.

As long as enough arrows are shot, more enemies will be killed depending on the probability.

Watching the soldiers fall down in pieces like harvested wheat, Sun Jian was not moved at all, because these sacrifices were inevitable.

Only by gritting your teeth and rushing to the very bottom of the city wall quickly can you avoid the rain of arrows from the city. The faster you rush at this time, the safer you will be.

But the so-called safety only refers to avoiding the threat of arrows.

When the vanguard of the 60,000 coalition army arrived under the city wall, Zhang Liao issued another military order.

Most of the people continued to throw arrows and shoot at the soldiers behind the coalition army.

However, some manpower was allocated to deal with the enemy troops who reached the bottom of the city wall.

A series of ladders were set up at the top of the city, and after the ladders were erected, the part of the previously allocated manpower did not need Zhang Liao's orders, and all of them skillfully picked up the rolling stones and trees, and threw them down along the direction of the ladders.

If the allied forces of the princes wanted to climb to the top of the city, they had to use ladders to climb to the top of the city.

As for the defenders in Hulao Pass, they only need to throw rolling stones and trees down the ladder, and they will be hit 100% of the time.

Relying on the defense of the city, the defenders can be said to have advantages everywhere, but the attacking side must first take Hulao Pass, and there are difficulties everywhere, which need to be broken one by one.
