The night is as dark as ink.
On the tower of Hulao Pass, the torches were bright and the charcoal fire in the brazier burned brightly, dispelling the cold air in the air.
The night was dark and silent.
Except for the footsteps of soldiers patrolling back and forth on the tower, and the occasional sound of soldiers whispering to each other, there was no other sound.
The dark night sky made people feel choked, especially the soldiers on the tower, whose faces were covered with blood.
With a solemn expression on his face, he glanced at the dark place under the tower from time to time.
"yawn" Hua Xiong stood on the tower with a look of fatigue on his face and his spirit was a little listless.
However, there was a little sparkle in his slightly narrowed eyes, showing that Hua Xiong was still full of energy and not at all troubled.
The expression he showed was just an appearance.
Hua Xiong stood on the tower, like a sculpture, as steady as a mountain, motionless.
"Boom" Suddenly, a dull drum sound came from a distance.
"Boom" "Boom" Immediately afterwards, the dense and dull sound of war drums broke the quiet night.
The depressing and heart-trembling drum sounds were like a bolt of lightning tearing through the dark sky, making people's hearts tighten.
After hearing the sound of war drums, the soldiers who were locked in Hulao began to breathe quickly.
Hua Xiong listened to the sound of the war drums and opened his eyes.
A bright light flickered in his eyes, staring at the dark night sky with a look of contemplation.
"Enemy attack" "Enemy attack" The sound of commotion came from the tower, soldiers were running back and forth, and the situation seemed to be in chaos.
"Crack, crackle, crackle" Torches were lit quickly everywhere, and the blazing torches made the entire Hulao Prison as bright as day.
The running soldiers turned into a mess, like frightened birds, not knowing what to do.
The sudden drumbeat disrupted the rhythm of the soldiers, but Hua Xiong, seeing this scene, still stood there, motionless, without any panic.
Not far from the city tower, Yuan Shao was riding a horse, looking at the Hulao Pass with flames rising into the sky, and showed a smile.
A dull sound of war drums indeed caused chaos in Hulao Pass.
However, after the war drums continued for a while, they stopped.
The dark night once again regained its tranquility, and the sudden sound of war drums seemed to be a flash in the pan.
It didn't take long before it disappeared completely and quietly.
After the war drums were played, there were no sneak attacks by soldiers, no shooting of bows and arrows, just the beating of the drums, and nothing else happened.
Hua Xiong stood on the tower, the smile on his lips disappeared, replaced by a solemn expression.
Night attack Or harassment Hua Xiong thought that the allied forces of the princes would launch a strong attack, but now after the sound of war drums, there was actually no movement.
Could it be that the beating of war drums was just to harass the soldiers stationed at Hulao Gate?
Hua Xiong felt that there must be something fishy in it.
It was impossible for the allied forces of the princes to simply harass the soldiers defending Hulao Pass.
After all, this was not a camp stationed in the wild, and camping in the open was vulnerable to sneak attacks.
Hulao Pass is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
The soldiers on the tower are in an advantageous position and are not affected by the war drums at all.
The only thing they fear is that the Allies forcefully attack the city.
There was no sound around.
Hua Xiong was confused and secretly shook his head, then squinted his eyes slightly and closed his eyes to rest.
The night is silent, dark, and silent.
Half an hour later, the war drums suddenly sounded again.
The dull drum beat came from afar.
The annoying drum beat made the soldiers on the tower tremble, tilt their heads, and look warily at the empty area below the tower.
Hua Xiong also opened his eyes and stared at the tower, but there was nothing under the tower.
It was still empty and dark, without anything.
After the war drums beat, it lasted for a while and then stopped.
Repeatedly, every half hour, the war drums would sound on time.

After a long period of harassment, the soldiers on the tower have become accustomed to the harassing drums outside the tower.
Hua Xiong also narrowed his eyes slightly and ignored the sound of war drums outside the city.
On the tower, there was only one person who did not let down his guard.
Li Jue, who was sitting cross-legged in the meeting hall of the tower, put his hands on the desk, stretched out his right middle finger and tapped the desk gently, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Next to him, Guo Si squinted his eyes and lowered his head from time to time like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Guo Aduo, let's go."
Suddenly, a smile appeared on Li Jue's lips, he stood up and walked out of the hall.
When Guo Bang heard Li Jue speak, he stood up suddenly, jumped up, and exclaimed: "Old Li, the princes are coming, are they coming?
Come on, come on, hurry up, they are about to attack the city."
Li Jue shook his head, said nothing, and walked out.
Seeing that there was no movement around him, Guo Bang smiled and followed Li Jue outside.
Outside Hulao Pass City, in the dark night, Yuan Shao was riding on his horse, his eyes flashing, looking at the brightly lit Hulao Pass City Tower, and said in a deep voice: "Mengde, you have been beating the war drum repeatedly for the sixth time.
"That's it.
In two hours, it will be daybreak.
We can't continue the stalemate.
Send the order and attack the city."
"promise" Cao Cao responded, turned around and gave the order.
At the same time, the war drums sounded again, but when the war drums sounded, the soldiers on the tower seemed not to hear them.
Those who should patrol, those who should take a nap, and those who should sleep, no one noticed the movement outside the city.
However, Li Jue and Guo Si had already arrived on the tower.
When Hua Xiong saw Li Jue and Guo Si coming out, he also opened his eyes and cheered up.
"General Li, General Guo, why are you here?"
Hua Xiong looked confused.
The war drums had sounded so many times.
They must have been harassing the soldiers, and no one would attack the city.
Li Jue said in a deep voice: "Hua Xiong, tell the soldiers to get ready, the princes are about to attack the city."
Sure enough, just after Li Jue's voice fell, a rustling sound came from the city tower.
At the same time, as the war drums soared into the sky, ladders were erected on the tower of Hulao Pass, and catapults were placed one after another.
They walked outside Hulao Pass and threw big stones at the city tower.
The war started at this moment.
The soldiers who were immersed in the haze also woke up and began to be busy.
At this time, the soldiers of the princes and allies had already begun to climb up the ladder one after another and rushed towards the city tower.
Under the city tower, dozens of soldiers supported the siege vehicles and ran to the bottom of the city tower, preparing to hit the city gate.
A huge log is hung on the siege vehicle.
The front end of the huge log is cone-shaped, and the tip is wrapped with iron sheet.
The soldiers held on to the giant wood and crashed towards the city gate.
A loud banging sound came from the bottom of the city tower.
Every time the giant wood hit the gate, it would cause the gate to shake.
On the city tower, Li Jue saw the Allied troops attacking the city, and a smile appeared on his lips.
Finally it came.
During the day, when Li Jue saw the decisive retreat of the allies, he had a premonition that the princes would attack Hulao Pass at night, and now it really came true.
For this reason, Li Jue felt extremely relieved.
Tonight, he must leave a deep impression on the princes and allies and let them remember the painful lesson.
As Li Jue gave orders in an orderly manner, cauldrons filled with oil and water appeared on the tower.
Piles of huge wooden piles with people hugging each other appeared on the city tower.

All the items were prepared for the defense of Hulao Pass.
"Wow" On the tower, several soldiers poured the hot oil and water from the oil pan down the tower.
The hot oil and water fell from the sky and splashed on the soldiers.
Suddenly, fierce roars and screams rang out from below the tower.
All the soldiers who were splashed with oil and water had blisters on their bodies.
The severe pain caused the soldiers who were scalded by the oil and water to roll around and howl on the ground.
But the more this happened, the more painful it became to the bone marrow after the blisters were broken.
After the oil and water poured down, another log rolled down from the tower with a person hugging it.
The huge log fell downwards with increasing force and speed.
Any soldier hit by the giant log would be either dead or disabled.
No soldier could survive the collision with the huge log unscathed.
The battle situation became more and more tragic. s: It’s Monday again, and the clarion call for making the list is sounded again.
