In fact, at this time, Cao Pi's forces can be said to be a candle in the wind, and they are vulnerable.
Most of Cao's generals either surrendered or died in battle, leaving only Xiahoudun and Cao Ren, two generals, and the main force was lost.
If it was in other states in the Central Plains, Gongsun Bai only needed to send any one of the Taiping, Jiewu or Anji armies, supplemented by a cavalry, and Cao Pi could easily be cleaned up.
And the reason why Gongsun Bai attaches so much importance to this western expedition, in addition to planning to take the opportunity to sweep away Xiliang, another reason is because Cao Pi occupies the advantage of Xiongguan.
Tiger Prison Pass, Hangu Pass, Tong Pass, all of them are the Xiongguan that can block millions of soldiers and horses, if there are no these three passes, Gongsun Bai can send three iron horsemen to drive straight in, sweep the pass, and within three months can behead Cao Pi and Xiahou Dun and return.
Tiger Prison Pass, also known as Bishui Pass, belongs to Chenggao County.
Because King Mu of the Western Zhou Dynasty once bred the fierce tigers in captivity here, it is called the Tiger Prison.
This pass is high and thick, connecting Songyue in the south, bordering the Yellow River in the north, the mountains are staggered, and it is a natural danger.
There is a trend of "one husband is the pass, and ten thousand people are not open", and it has always been a place for soldiers to fight.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, the Lu army defeated the Yan division here; During the Warring States Period, the Six Nations garrisoned troops here to resist Qin; When Chu and Han were fighting for hegemony, Liu and Xiang fought for the city here.
In such a majestic pass, as long as there are enough arrows and stones, and 5,000 soldiers and horses are defended, it is enough to resist the attack of a million male divisions.
The sky is slightly bright, the majestic city outline of the Tiger Prison Pass is bathed in the faint morning light, looking at it from afar, the clouds and mist are shrouded, the mountains are stacked, and the scenery is picturesque.
On the upper floor, a sergeant of Cao put the spear in his hand on one side of the wall, stretched for a long time, and the long night finally passed, and it was almost time to change the guard.
Knock knock As the melodious and long morning bell rang in the pass, the soldiers who had slept soundly all night woke up from their sleep, stretched their waists, yawned, and were about to wait for the comrades to come from the change of shifts, so they went into the barracks and continued to sleep well.
Thundered At this moment, a muffled thunder sounded in the sky, attracting the attention of all the soldiers at the head of the city, and they all looked over, but they saw a line in the sky, a touch of dark clouds rolled in, and then the flags were rolling, the swords and halberds were like forests, and countless war horses roared, like stormy waves, rolling towards the tiger prison.
Gongsun Jun is here Although the news has been received a few days ago that the Gongsun Army is about to arrive at the Tiger Prison Pass in the near future, the soldiers of the Cao Army are still jumping and jumping into a mess, and the horns on the city head are whining and whining, and some people have already reported to the main general guarding the pass.
Liang Xi, the main general of the guard here, was not brilliant in the early stage of the Cao family, but when the Cao family lacked major generals in the later period, he was discovered by Xiahoudun that he was able to command the army and gave him the important task of guarding the tiger prison.
Liang Xi, who got the news, hurriedly went to the Tiger Prison Pass Building, and when he saw the situation under the pass, he couldn't help but gasp.
"Knock Knock" "Woohoo" Under the tiger prison, the continuous sound of war drums and low trumpets resounded in the sky, and the endless wilderness as far as the eye could see.
The Gongsun army swept in like a tide, and a vigorous banner was hunting in the wind, embroidered with the majestic "Gongsun" two big characters.
Under the banner, Gongsun Bai was dressed in military uniform, standing proudly on top of the sweaty BMW, with thousands of rides like clouds behind him, ten thousand horses like rain, and the iron armor of Sensen gathered into a sea of steel, flashing with a terrifying coldness.
A rod of swords and halberds pierced the sky, and the cherry red tassel on the helmet of the Gongsun army soldiers was as beautiful as blood under the light of the morning sun Elite: The real big man elite This soldier and horse are invincible, Zeng Ping Xianbei in Mobei, destroy the Huns in Monan, sweep the barbarians in Liaodong, behead Yuan Shao in Jizhou, break Cao Cao in the Central Plains, since his debut, he has not tasted a defeat Closed, Liang Xi's eyes showed envy, and he sighed: "This is a true elite teacher, if there is no such Xiongguan, we would have become powders."
Closed, Gongsun Bai's sight was attracted by the Tiger Prison Pass, only to see that the Tiger Prison Pass is two mountains and a valley, the middle of the valley road is filled with a male pass, the wall is as high as six zhang, it is really "a husband when the pass, ten thousand people do not open", the tiger prison is dangerous in the world, and the real male pass is also Then, his gaze fell on Liang Xi's body.
"Liang Xi, command 85, military force 64, intelligence 75, politics 87, health value 90, loyalty to Cao Pi 81."
Although it's not extremely good, it's a good general.
And good at politics, no wonder in the history of governing the bitter cold land of the state, and it is a place where alien races are rampant and ravaging the frontier, but it has the first political performance among the states and counties, so that the Xianbei people are frightened when they hear the wind and bow their heads to obey orders, such a good general, it is best to capture it for their own use.
For a while, Gongsun Bai has already moved his heart to love talents, there are more states and counties in the world, and there are more territories to manage, so he will feel that there are not enough talents with high political value, especially talents with a political value of 87 like Liang Xi, which is even rarer.
Liang Xi's eyes were awe-inspiring, and most of the soldiers around him were as earth-colored as earth, and they had not yet fought and were cowardly, only Liang Xi looked indifferent and stood like a pine.
What about the elite of the world, I have a strong pass to block millions of military horses, I don't believe that your Gongsun Bai can still fly up the pass with wings "Ho" "Ho" "Ho" A rhythmic trumpet suddenly sounded in the Gongsun army's formation, Liang Xi's eyes froze, and his pupils constricted in an instant.
Lost voice: "What is that?"
A group of soldiers also looked north, only to see that the endless wilderness has been covered by the iron armor of the Gongsun Army, the vast Gongsun Army rear formation, suddenly ghostly erected a "wooden tower", the loud and neat sound of the trumpet, more and more wooden towers, and finally pierced the sky.
"Well, that's the well" One of the generals suddenly howled in horror.
Liang Xi's heart was beating wildly, staring at it.
Sure enough, I found that the towering wells were really slowly squirming forward.
Slowly, but unstoppably approaching the Tiger Prison.
The heavy haze condensed in Liang Xi's eyes in an instant.
In the rear of the Gongsun army, Zhang Liao raised his horse whip and pointed at the tiger prison, waved his hand, and said in a deep voice, "Pass the order, tackle the key problems" The herald standing behind Zhang Liao waved down the pennann flag in his hand, and in an instant, the continuous sound of war drums suddenly became agitated, and the low sound of the horn suddenly became extremely loud.
The soldiers of the Gongsun Army, who were waiting for the battle, immediately began to move.
Is this about to begin?
"All the brethren went up to the gate, ready to fight" Liang Xi gave an order, and thousands of Cao troops rushed to the juncture, and in an instant, the narrow tower was full of people and crowded.
After a while, the more than a dozen wells have been close to the front of the pass, the height and the tiger prison pass are almost level, I have to say that the tiger prison pass is indeed majestic, if it is an ordinary city, the well is bound to be a lot higher than the city wall.
Immediately after, countless Gongsun Army crossbow archers swarmed up and went straight to the top of the well.
Zhou Cang, who was in charge of leading the troops, raised the long knife in his hand leisurely above the top, and under the scorching gaze of hundreds of archers, he slashed down coldly, and a terrible long howl sounded instantly, "Release the arrow" Loading, aiming, pulling the crossbow machine, releasing the arrow, the whole set of actions in one go.
In an instant, thousands of sharp wolf's tooth feather arrows burst into the air, and a piercing scream erupted in the air, sweeping through the sky, flying to the tiger prison in an instant, and then pouring down like icy killing raindrops.
"Hmm," Liang Xidi's pupils contracted for a moment.

In an instant, he roared violently, "Tree shield, tree shield, hide, hide" Wave after wave of arrows rained over the heads of the Cao army, and those Cao soldiers were either hiding under the battlements, or holding high in front of the big shield, although the arrows were like clouds, but there were not many people who were killed and wounded.
If you suffer a loss, you will suffer a loss in the Tiger Prison Pass, and there is no way to give full play to the advantages of the wells, and you can't shoot a good shot like other cities, and only three or four hundred people can stand on more than a dozen wells, which is not enough to form a large-scale blow.
After several rounds of fierce arrow rain, Liang Xi jumped up from behind the battlement, his eyes were fixed, and he shouted: "Release the arrows" "Instigation" The messy sound of breaking the air sounded, rows of scattered arrows shot out from the Guan Tower, although the bow and arrow of the Cao Army was not very powerful, but it was better than the crowd and dense, thousands of bows and arrows on the Guan Lou poured out, and soon the Gongsun Army crossbow archers above the well gradually could not resist the enemy, and gradually retreated under Zhou Cang's order.
Under the gate, rows of first steppers wearing rattan armor shouted neat trumpets, stepping on neat steps, surging forward, hard rattan armor and rattan shields intertwined into a suffocating wall, pushing dozens of ladder trucks, unstoppably advancing towards the Tiger Prison Gate, only a moment's effort.
It had advanced to less than fifty steps from closing.
On the upper floor, the Cao army, which forced back the crossbowmen above the well, faced a dense burst of fire from the Gongsun army under the city.
Zhang Liao gave an order, and the rattan armor stepped forward to raise the rattan shield in his hand high, and in an instant, a strong shield had been connected together to form a solid wall.
The pouring arrows rained down in a muffled sound.
The shield was already full of feathered arrows, but the heavily armored foot soldiers behind the shield were unscathed.
"Shoot the Arrow" "Shoot the Arrow" On the upper floor, Liang Xi couldn't stop shouting, and thousands of archers kept firing their arrows, and in just a moment, they shot the only feather arrows in the pot.
Seeing that Gongsun Jun Tengjia Xiandeng under the gate was unscathed, Liang Xi's eyes almost wanted to erupt with fire At this time, in the formation of the Gongsun army, Zhang Liao's expression was indifferent, and he said in a deep voice: "The Nufeng battalion is attacking" "Brush" The herald waved the command flag twice in his hand.
"Furious Camp Forward" In an instant, the loud sound of the trumpet resounded through the military formation, and the crossbow archers of the Gongsun Army, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly ran forward and entered the formation behind the shield wall where the vine armor had ascended.
The crossbow arrows have been raised, the sharp arrows have been placed on the strings, as long as Zhang Liao gives an order, these battle-hardened indifferent killers will not hesitate to show their sharp fangs, mercilessly slaughtering all enemies who dare to resist.
The Gongsun Army is mighty and invincible in the world Woohoo This time, thousands of crossbow arrows poured down like a torrential rain towards the city, and the entire Tiger Prison was covered with dark clouds.
Liang Xi looked at the desperate rain of arrows in horror, and hissed and shouted: "Dodge the arrows" The next moment, the screams on the top of the city rose from the sky, and countless Cao soldiers fell to the ground with arrows, and under the rain of arrows like a dark cloud, all the Cao soldiers prostrated under the battlements, and no one dared to come forward.
Under the city wall, Gongsun Jun Tengjia first ascended wave after wave of trumpets, dozens of ladders have approached the wall, the upper half of the movable ladder that was originally folded and pressed on the fixed ladder was slowly raised with the top of the machine frame as the axis, and then the entire live ladder was completely erected and slowly tilted towards the tiger prison pass, and finally hit the wall of the wall with a bang, and the dust flew.
In an instant, Gongsun Bai's face turned green.
The ladder was not tall enough, it was a foot shorter The tiger prison is dangerous in the world, and the majesty is like iron S: Finally, the third watch, I hope to relieve the anger of the monarch on the broken change.
