Chapter 607 The Battle of the City Wall at Taigu Pass(1/2)

Luoyang City, to the north is the Yellow River, which is vast and endless.

The south is mountainous, with towering mountains and magnificent terrain.

Taigu Pass stands between two peaks in the valley, and the hundred-foot city wall shows an indestructible feeling under the twilight.

Guan is a hint of coldness that makes people feel a little cold at first glance.

This majestic pass is surrounded by mountains, surrounded by pine forests like the sea.

On both sides of the valley, there are ravines, streams, peaks, countless steep stone walls, and bushes.

For a long time, this Taigu Pass has been an important pass for Luoyang City to head south to Nanyang, Xuchang and other places.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the eighteen princes attacked Dong Zhuo, Sun Jian took the lead in taking Taigu Pass and marched straight into it.

Dong Zhuo was defeated and left Mianchi, which allowed Sun Jian to enter Luoyang first and seize the imperial seal.

The famous story of "Sima Yi designed to earn Cao Shuang" in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is also related to Taigu.

Cao Shuang accompanied the son of Emperor Ming of Wei Cao Rui through Dagu Pass to Gaopingling in Shannan to visit the tomb, but Cao Shuang was as stupid as a pig or a dog.

He was seized by Sima Yi using a trick and eventually lost the Cao family's world, which allowed the Sima family to finally get the final world.

It can be said that this Taigu Pass records many ups and downs of the Three Kingdoms.

At this moment, large areas of military flags fluttered in the wind on the city walls of Taigu Pass.

Countless soldiers holding iron armor and spears were stationed on the city walls.

At first glance, I felt an amazing murderous aura soaring into the sky, and countless figures were faintly above the pass city walls.

In the center position, there is a big Dong-shaped pen.

Black background with gold edges.

At this moment, the defenders in Guancheng were all elite soldiers under Dong Zhuo's command. Taigu Pass was not the main battlefield, and the southern line was actually the line with the least force of the coalition forces.

Yuan Shu simply held his troops in Luyang County, but only sent Sun Jian,

However, Dong Zhuo was still afraid of the Jiangdong Tiger sent by Yuan Shu, Sun Jian, the world's top general.

Therefore, a lot of people were sent to resist Sun Jian's attack.

Although there are not as many troops as the main battlefield of Hulao Pass on the Eastern Front,

However, there are still a total of 2 million defenders stationed in Taigu Pass, and there are quite a few of them.

The Taigu Gu Gu General also has some brave people, but he is Yang Ding, a general of Liangzhou under Dong Zhuo.

Yang Ding's name is renovated, a native of Liangzhou. He has been one of the generals who have been following Dong Zhuo from the beginning.

From the beginning, Dong Zhuo followed Zhang Huan to conquer the Qiang and Hu, and later Dong Zhuo went to Jizhou to fight against the Yellow Turban Army.

Yang Dingdu followed Dong Zhuo all the way.

Of course, he is not considered a top general under Dong Zhuo.

Not included in the six generals of the Central Army, he is not one of the four chief lieutenants under Dong Zhuo.

At this moment, Yang Ding stood above the city wall, looking out of the distance, only to see the beautiful carriages and horses of the enemy from afar.

The camp tents are dozens of miles away from the pass, and there are flags everywhere, and the infantry and cavalry are like clouds.

The flags and flags in the distance are almost covering the sun, and the camps are connected by fields. I don’t know how many people are there.

He didn't know the specific number of people, but he also knew that the number of people must be quite large.

It seems that Sun Jian led his main force to outside Taigu Pass.

Thinking of this, Yang Ding couldn't help but frown.

In the previous period, Sun Jian launched a large-scale attack on Yique Pass, and Hu Zhen led a large number of reinforcements to support Yique Pass.

But I didn't expect that in such a quick time, Sun Jian's main army had arrived outside Taigu Pass.

He looked even more aggressive, and seemed to be as if he was millions of people.

With so many elite troops, combined with Sun Jian's amazing cultivation, it puts huge pressure on Taigu Pass's defense.

As the saying goes, guarding the pass must guard the wilderness.

However, before, his defenders stationed outside Taigu Pass were vulnerable and had been defeated by Sun Jian.

Especially Sun Jian defeated the external team in the pass, which only took about half a day to surprise Yang Dingxin.

He was just now shocked.

I'm afraid that the one who went to Yique Pass before was just Sun Jian's suspicion of the army.

"Where are reinforcements from Hulao Pass in Luoyang City? When will Duan Wei and the Prime Minister's reinforcements arrive?"

Yang Ding frowned and asked a young scholar wearing black armor behind him.

The school trembled and said, "The letter of help for Luoyang City has been sent, but even if the reinforcements arrive, it will be a few days later!"

"Where are the reinforcements in the Hulao Pass? General Xu and General Lu are both brave soldiers from the prime minister, but their strength is great!

What is the war in Yuan Shao’s direction now? Maybe the two of them come to support him?

If these two people can come, it will be a great help from our army."

Yang Ding thought of Lu Bu and Xu Rong's troops again and asked.

This is the strongest army in Dong Zhuo’s army in Luoyang.

The school said helplessly: "Although Hulao Pass is guarded, Yuan Shao's army is not a fool, and he may not be able to support it in a short period of time!"

Hearing this, Yang Ding just looked out of the way, and the solemn expression on his face became even heavier.

On the second day of defeating the defenders outside the city.

Ye Tian raised his troops again and launched an attack on Taigu Pass.

Now, Hu Zhen, one of Dong Zhuo's six generals, has been deceived to defend in Yique Pass.

Now is the best time to attack Taigu Pass.

Although Yang Ding is also a brave man in Liangzhou, of course it is impossible to put it in Ye Tian's eyes.

Hu Zhen and Yang Ding were both as famous as before, and were both born in Liangzhou's prestigious wealthy families.

The two of them have been following since Dong Zhuo raised the army, with rich combat experience and are both brave generals in Liangzhou.

But now that Hu Zhen is one of the six top generals under Dong Zhuo, Yang Ding has not even become a captain, which shows the difference between the two.

It can be said that Hu Zhen is a military general with great talent, and Yang Ding is just the courage of an ordinary man.

Now Hu Zhen has been deceived to Yique Pass, so the difficulty of attacking Taigu Pass will certainly be reduced.

The weather is clear and cloudless on this day.

It's a good time to attack the pass, a day.

With Ye Tian's order, countless soldiers from the east of Jiangdong carried the cloud ladder and rushed towards the towering Taigu Pass.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! They launched a total attack.

Under the battle arrangement before Ye Tian,

The Kwantung Army's military formation has been arranged on the empty plain before Taigu Pass.

Qu Yang, Ran Min, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Sun Jian were led by a team.

Turn into five small square arrays to arrange and rush to the front.

Sun Jian's status is not low, and he is the second person in the Southern Route Army except Ye Tian this time.

However, he has always been known as the Jiangdong tiger, extremely fierce and warlike.

I still plan to climb the city first and break through Taigu Pass in one fell swoop.

The drum sounded and the horn sounded.

A burst of thunderous snare drums sounded, which meant that the signal of siege was officially begun.

The soldiers who siege the city included a group of Jiangdong soldiers brought by Sun Jian before, and a new army brought by Zhang Miao, Liu Bei, Ye Tian and others later.

Countless cavalry jumped off their war horses and rushed towards the direction of the Taigu Pass city wall.

The infantry stood on the ladder and walked forward in neat steps.

As the top pass on the battlefield on the southern front of Luoyang City.

Although the city defense and the height of the city walls of Taigu Pass are not as good as the Hulao Pass, which is known as the world's No. 1 pass, the difference is not very big.

At this moment, Dong Zhuo's army was ready to deal with the siege of the Kanto Alliance.

In addition to the infantry siege, the bowmen holding longbows quickly lined up behind the running Han soldiers, and launched an attack on the Dong Zhuo soldiers on the city wall with the sharp arrows in their hands.

Whoosh swish swish swish!

The rain of arrows shot out like a heavy rain, falling down in a streamlined manner. As the rain of arrows fell on the city wall, a heart-wrenching scream sounded one after another.

The Kanto Alliance was using sharp arrows to suppress the defenders on the city wall.
