Chapter 329 The Invisible Net of the Iron Blood Pass
Chapter 328: The Invisible Net of the Iron Blood Pass
Generally speaking, compared with those without a moat, the defense is definitely not on the same level, but that is just a general level.
For the highest level of Hulao Pass, the moat is just a decoration, and the rugged terrain and high and thick city walls are the foundation of its difficulty.
Of course, whether the moat was filled was of little significance to the Han army, but for the attacking Yellow Turbans, filling the moat was still of great significance.
If there is no moat, the Yellow Turbans can reduce the overall casualties by at least one third in the future siege. This also shows that the Yellow Turbans are determined to take down the Hulao Pass at all costs.
On the first day, since the Yellow Turbans had filled the moat, they did not cause much tens of thousands to the Han army. However, all the Han army soldiers under the jurisdiction of Qin and Wen knew that the real war would only begin tomorrow.
The next day, the Yellow Turban still did not send generals to challenge, but spread the formation and directly attacked the city, and the total number of attackers was still 50,000.
After the obstruction of the moat, the Yellow Turban soldiers also seemed even more crazy than before, and they all howled and ran towards Hulao Pass frantically.
As long as you can climb the city tower, you will get a lot of bounties. For each Han army killing, not only will you get a bounty, but your family can also get an extra acre of land.
Don’t be afraid, there is nothing to be scary. There is a well railing and a catapult behind it. I won’t die easily.
The Han army is all the worms riding on the heads of our suffering people. Even if they die, they will die with them. I am a warrior of the great wise and good teachers. Even if I die bravely, my fellow villagers will be proud of me.
All the attacking Yellow Turban soldiers had red eyes. Thinking of this in their hearts, it seemed as if the Han army closed was their enemies.
Qin Hao, who was watching the game, sighed when he saw this. Zhang Jiao''s bewitching method was really amazing!
Demonstrating people, especially fooling people, has always been the best means of Chinese sectarian uprisings. A little profit or a false wish can transform a living life into a demon.
Cults harm people, and the essence of Taiping Sect is actually a cult, but this cult has threatened the country.
Qin Hao looked into the direction of the Yellow Turban Camp in the distance and murmured to himself: "Zhang Jiao, are you really so confident to fulfill your promise to make such a big Haikou?"
Obviously, it must be Zhang Jiao who made some promises that so many Yellow Turban soldiers could not fear death. After all, there must be brave men under heavy rewards.
This has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that the combat effectiveness of the troops can be improved in the short term, while the disadvantage is that once it cannot be fulfilled, the main general will definitely be despised by everyone.
With Zhang Jiao''s prestige, although he would not be collectively despised by the Yellow Turban soldiers, his prestige must have plummeted and he could not command the Yellow Turban Army like he is now.
Zhang Jiao was extremely determined to take down Hulao Pass. Qin Qiong was also quite good at guarding Hulao Pass, and he had a small ambition.
The 100,000 defenders at Hulao Pass were divided into four groups, and they changed defenses every five days. What Qin Qiong wanted was not only to defend these five days, but also to defend well, and to achieve the greatest results with the smallest losses.
The Yellow Turbans were extremely flexible under Xiang Yan''s command, which put great pressure on Qin Qiong. However, under the premise that the enemy''s fierce generals did not participate in the siege, Qin Qiong was not afraid. The two of them used Hulao Pass as the chessboard, and the two sides fought each other out of the way.
"Dingdong, Xiang Yan''s skill "Chu Soul" is activated. Effect 1, commander +4 when fighting in Chu State; effect 2, combat commander +3 when leaving Chu."
"Hulao Pass is located in the Central Plains and does not belong to Chu, so Xiang Yan commander +3, and the current commander is 99."
Commander Xiang Yan 99 VS Commander Qin Qiong 98. Such an offensive and defensive duel did not disappoint Qin Hao, and its intensity was definitely not inferior to that of a general. The intensity of the siege on the second day was even greater than that of the first day. In front of Tianhulao Pass, there were corpses everywhere on the battlefield, but the casualties were much smaller than the first day.
Compared with the terrifying figure of 15,000 on the first day, the Yellow Turbans only killed 8,000 people on the second day. This was the result of Xiang Yan''s vision and filling the moat first.
If Zhang Jiao''s siege at all costs is followed, with the intensity of the siege the next day, the casualties will increase by at least another 50%. Of course, Xiang Yan''s outstanding command also made up for some of the losses for the Yellow Turbans.
On the third day, after three days of confrontation, the Han army''s catapults finally destroyed all 150 catapults of the Yellow Turbans after losing fifteen of them, and then moved the target to the well railing of the Yellow Turbans.
Without the cover of the catapult, the well railing was targeted by the Han army again, so the Yellow Turban Army''s attack on the third day was extremely difficult, and it ended with the death of nine thousand people.
On the fourth and fifth day, due to the frequent launch of the Pili car, most of the bearings were damaged. Liu Ye had no choice but to "return the damaged ones to the factory and rebuilt".
The Han army also lost most of the catapults, which should be a hard-won opportunity for the Yellow Turban Army, but Xiang Yan did the opposite and no longer continued to attack and attack fiercely, but instead fought steadily, which made Qin Hao a little confused.
In these two days, the Yellow Turbans killed 7,000 and 6,000 people respectively, plus the previous 15,8,000 and 9,000...
Within just five days, the Yellow Turban had lost 45,000 elite soldiers under Hulao Pass, and as the Han army defending the city, 11,000 defenders were killed.
Of course, none of them are the Yanmen Army, they are all the original garrisons of Hulao Pass. If they were stationed by the Yanmen Army, with the Hulao Pass, the casualties ratio would be more than 1:4.5.
Qin Qiong was already very powerful in commanding the Han army with Xiang Yan''s personal status, and he also ended the mission perfectly.
If this trend continues to develop, Zhang Jiao will fight all the 250,000 troops he brought, and he will definitely not be able to win the Hulao Pass.
As soon as this conclusion was concluded, the Han army in Hulao Pass was immediately filled with joy and immediately swept away the previous haze.
After Qin Qiong, the Hedong Army took over the defense of Hulao Pass, while Dong Zhuo sent Yang Jian and Yang Su, the cousins ??of Gao Tong.
The two commanders are 96 and 98 respectively, and they both have a grudge against Xiang Yu to kill their son. It can be imagined that there is definitely another big collision with Xiang Yan.
In the last four days of defending the city, Qin Qiong earned Qin Hao another 190 summon points, and now Qin Hao has 600 summon points in his hand.
The pocket finally bulged again, but Qin Hao was not happy at all because this battle was really a mess and there were too many doubts.
The Yellow Turban, who has the world''s number one general and so many powerful generals, why not fight? Why not let the fierce generals participate in the siege?
After the stone-populated troops withdrew, why didn’t the Yellow Turban continue to attack?
There are also various abnormal reactions from Xiang Yu before...
All kinds of examples and countless details tell Qin Hao that an invisible net is attacking him, and if you are not careful, you may be doomed.
The next chapter reveals absolutely unexpectedly.
