Chapter 59: Siege Warfare!

  After seeing the morale of the troops boosted, Yuan Shao's eyes were filled with a cold light. He let out a cold snort and returned to the camp, solemnly saying to the gathered vassals: "Everyone, now that Dongzi is dead and guarding the pass, we have no choice but to attack the pass!"

  Cao Cao replied solemnly, "Everyone, let's follow the previous agreement. Each of you will dispatch 5,000 troops to attack the pass in shifts, day and night!" Cao Cao was indeed Cao Cao, speaking of such matters at this time with a light tone, his face without any change of color.

  It turned out that the various princes had discussed many times in the past half month how to take down Tiger Trap Pass. The pass was guarded by Lü Bu's Autumn Water, and attacking it would be extremely difficult at that time. In the end, they decided to attack the pass day and night, letting the enemy become exhausted from responding, and after several days, the enemy's morale plummeted, making it easy to take down Tiger Trap Pass.

  Human life is not as valuable as a dog's in this chaotic world! This is the true portrayal, I don't know how many more people will be buried here after this battle!

  Banners and flags block out the sun, yellow sand swirling everywhere!

  The dust and mist dispersed, and as one looked around, a black carpet-like military formation slowly approached the Tiger Trap Pass!

  The fierce wind danced, the banners rolled, the swords and spears were like a forest, emitting a cold and murderous aura.

  Woooo! With a loud and clear bugle call, the eighteen vassal states' formation erupted into a deafening chorus of battle cries, unrelenting and surging up to the heavens.

  At this time, Li Ru carefully walked to the front of Dong Zhuo and said: "Your Excellency, now that the army is attacking Guandu, this matter can be handed over to Generals Lü Bu and Autumn Water. Your Excellency is a precious treasure, why not return to Guanzhong to calm the hearts of the soldiers?"

  This Li Ru indeed deserves to be a top strategist in history. After seeing the shouting and killing voices of the army below Guandu, Dong Zhuo originally intended to attack the pass, but after being discovered by Li Ru, he secretly sighed and walked forward to say something.

  If it were Dong Zhuo himself who feared injury and retreated back to Guan, morale would definitely plummet. But now it's different, Li Ru said, obviously it won't affect morale, this is the role of subordinates! What the lord can do, his subordinates must do for their lord, including taking the blame.

  "My lord's body is worth a million gold coins. This matter can be settled if you entrust it to us!" The generals, upon hearing Li Ru's words, hastily clasped their fists and advised Dong Zhuo.

  At this time, Dong Zhuo saw the situation in front of him, a gleam of joy flashed in his eyes, but he suppressed it and seriously ordered the crowd: "Well, I will wait for your good news inside the pass."

  Dong Zhuo immediately said to Lü Bu: "Autumn Water, I appoint you as the commander-in-chief, Lü Bu and Xu Rong will assist you. For me, thoroughly crush the arrogant momentum of these rebellious thieves!"

  No! After all the generals had paid their respects, Dong Zhuo followed Li Ru and retreated back inside the pass.

  Qiu Shui looked around at the various generals after Dong Zhuo left, Lv Bu, Xu Rong, Hua Xiong, Zhang Chao and other high-ranking generals were all stationed in different places to prevent rebellion in various regions while the vassals were making trouble.

  The generals under him include Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Qiu Shou, Qiu Wu, Hu Che Er and Cao Xing.

  Qiu Shui looked out at the enemy army outside the pass, which was already preparing to attack the city. With a serious expression, he ordered the crowd: "Xu Rong, Gao Shun, Qiu Shun, listen to my orders."

  "We will definitely win!" Xu Rong, Gao Shun and Qiu Shun responded in unison with a loud and powerful fist bump.

  "Now the enemy is attacking the pass, and neither I nor Feng Xian are good at defending the city. I have ordered Xu Rong to take charge, with Gao Shun and Qiu Shun assisting him in defending the city." Autumn Water calmly instructed the officers.

  No! Xu Rong and Gao Shun shouted in unison, their eyes filled with gratitude as they gazed at Qiu Shui. These two men had never been valued in their lives, nor had they ever received such treatment. They secretly vowed in their hearts that not a single enemy soldier would be allowed to come up. As for Qiu Shun, it was unnecessary to mention him, for he was a summoned being who was absolutely loyal.

  Looking at the enemy army under the pass, Qiū Shuǐ drew out the Qī Xīng Dāo from his waist and shouted loudly: "All troops return to their original positions, prepare to attack the enemy!"

  Yes! The rest of the generals let out a loud roar, then took out their weapons and returned to their own army formations. Xu Rong, Gao Shun, and Qiu Shun ordered their soldiers to prepare the rolling logs and stone-throwing machines, ready to face the enemy.

  The eighteen vassals under their command were all elite soldiers who had fought against the Yellow Turbans, with a fierce and intimidating aura. However, the autumn waters and Lv Bu's troops were also seasoned veterans of a hundred battles, having fought against foreign tribes beyond the pass for many years, and were not inferior to the enemy's soldiers in any way, and even surpassed them slightly.

  Thereafter, the hundred-battle veteran troops led by Qiū Shuǐ faced the overwhelming momentum of the eighteen vassals below Guān with no fear, and under the command of their respective generals, they made preparations for battle.

  Tiger Trap Pass connects two high mountain ranges, and can be called the best pass in the world. Relying on this, Autumn Water has the talent and confidence to resist the allied forces of the vassals below the pass.

  Kill...!

  Killing sounds like a tide, human shadows like ants, the forest's cold killing intent, almost piercing the sky.

  The first wave of the Allied army, carrying cloud ladders, siege towers and battering rams, charged towards Tiger Trap Pass with a loud whoosh. Autumn Water's cold and stern eyes burst out with fierce and sharp edges, and her mouth let out a loud shout: "Release the arrows!"

  Twang! The uniform bow and arrow sound echoed in the air, while a piece of dark cloud-like arrows shot towards the allied forces under the pass.

  After hearing the whistling sound of arrows piercing through the air in the sky, the coalition forces stared at the arrow rain in the sky with wide eyes.

  "Raise shields!" A seasoned general roared with eyes bulging in rage after seeing the hail of arrows in the sky.

  Shrill cries and wails suddenly rose from the crowd.

  A large number of enemy soldiers fell in an instant, despite the resistance of their shields, many were shot by arrows. The army responded with countless mournful cries, those painful shouts infected other allied generals even more. Boom! Boom! Boom!

  The drums in the allied army's formation boomed loudly, causing the allied troops to charge forward recklessly, trampling over their companions' corpses and rushing towards the city wall, where they set up cloud ladders with a loud crash.

  "What about the million-strong army?" Autumn Water gazed at the enemy troops charging fearlessly to their deaths below the pass, a cold smile curling up at the corners of his mouth. He turned to a nearby soldier and barked: "Bring me my bow!"

  A soldier beside him hastily took the large black bow from his comrade. The bow was carved with intricate patterns. Lü Bu, who was standing next to them, saw Qiū Shuǐ take the bow and, with fiery eyes fixed on Qiū Shuǐ, also ordered the soldier beside him to bring over a bow.

  When he saw Lü Bu's unyielding gaze, Qiū Shuǐ's mouth curled up in a sly smile as he shouted at Lü Bu: "Páng Xiān, let's compete today and see who can kill more enemies!"

  "Haha! Alright, the loser will treat all the soldiers to a drink, how about that?" Lü Bu responded with a full of fighting spirit. At this time, after practicing the Hui Chun Jue, he felt an unprecedented sense of his whole body being filled with fighting spirit.

  Haha! General mighty! General divine might!

  The officers who had been with Guan Yu were all infected by the autumn water and Lü Bu, shouting at the two men with hot blood. At this time, they were not afraid, looking at the enemy army under Guan's command, their eyes were filled with fervor, now these people were just their own military achievements.

  Good! The morale of the army can be used! At this time, Xu Rong and Gao Shun saw that all the soldiers on the pass were excited by the atmosphere brought about by Lü Bu's autumn water, and at the same time, they looked at the two red-hot warlords with a sense of emotion in their hearts. They are indeed the strongest warriors under the sky, and their words can actually boost the morale of the soldiers. It is truly a famous general!
