Macross Empire

The chess pieces arranged by the family turned against the water!

As an aristocratic family that can last even to the Western Han Dynasty or even longer, its background is not only displayed in the accumulation of knowledge and military strength, but its connections and chess pieces can even go deep into the Luoyang Palace.

Of course, if it is a normal situation, among the [-] defenders at Sishuiguan, just dozens of soldiers and low-level officers such as corporal chiefs and even chiefs who turn against the water are completely dead, and they will be wiped out and chopped down in minutes. The head serves as a warning billboard.

But the problem is that now it's not just the weird noise just now, the whole Sishui Pass is in a state of panic, and the cavalry led by Yan Liang has broken through the impregnable city wall of Sishui Pass... If it comes, when dozens of soldiers and low-level officers turn against the water, it will be like a heavy weight on the balance of victory, directly causing most of the soldiers in Sishuiguan to fall into a panic and bewildered situation!

With the general situation gone, the 6000-man defenders at Sishui Pass, except for two generals who were dissociated from the body, successfully evacuated Sishui Pass with less than 1000 people, and the remaining defenders had close to 500 casualties. In addition, the rest of the people all surrendered to the coalition forces of the princes!

The coalition forces of the aristocratic families hastily used the excuse of "the side of the Qing emperor" to raise their troops before they were fully prepared. Not only did they take advantage of the response of the eighteen princes in the world to appear extremely huge, but they also won the first place in front of Sishuiguan. Let the soldiers of myself and others look quite sharp...

……

At the same time when the Sishui Pass was breached, Li Yuan, who was riding a scarlet horse, received relevant information in a marching camp composed of more than 20 cavalry and infantry on a road more than 5 kilometers away from Luoyang City. .

"Yo?! You actually won the Sishui Pass? That's pretty good..."

Looking at the situation on the virtual light screen that popped up in front of him, and even the scene where the Sishuiguan was breached as if he was there in person, Li Yuan patted the not very tame horse Chituma lightly, and then Seeing the rise of the nearly one-kilometer-long soil slope, his expression became a little solemn, and he flicked his fingers lightly, "Huh? This spell... Interesting, Nanhua Old Immortal? Zuo Ci? With Yu Ji, the three immortals at the end of Han Dynasty are all together?! It's not easy!"

In Li Yuan's words, there was a trace of excitement!

It is true that the three immortals who were nicknamed the "Three Immortals of the Late Han Dynasty" also jumped out, and the strength of the three immortals must not be underestimated (for example, the old immortal Nanhua, according to Li Yuan's information, his disciple Zhang Jiao, etc.) People just made the army of the Han Dynasty suffer a lot, and their strength level is estimated to be no lower than the peak of the lieutenant officer), but for Li Yuan, who has now broken through to the rank of lieutenant officer, he is exactly the opponent he wants to find.

"Hehe, Saeko and others are staying in Luoyang, let me see how many strong men there are from the Three Immortals at the end of Han Dynasty and this coalition of princes..."

After reading the information in his hand, Li Yuan's expression became very happy and expectant.

Chapter 407 The Battle of Hulao Pass ([-])

Facts have proved that Li Yuan deliberately gave the aristocratic family a little chance to form a coalition army with the princes connected with the aristocratic family and the royal family. The coalition army of the aristocratic family that successfully captured Sishui Pass with the help of Nanhua's old fairy art originally wanted to conquer Hulao Pass in one go. Then directly opened the last pass leading to Sili and Luoyang, trying to catch Li Yuan by surprise.

However, although the coalition forces of the aristocratic family and the vassals are in the same position, it is much stronger than the cheating situation in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms where, except for a few people working hard to rescue, others are watching the fun or even dragging their feet and tearing down the stage. The prepared Li Yuan was still within the expected range - when the aristocratic family and the allied forces of the princes who successfully captured Sishuiguan two days later were about to play the game of cavalry siege again with the help of Nanhua Laoxian, The [-] elite guards at the Hulao Gate, guarded by Jia Xu, Zhang Xiu and several other lieutenant-level powerhouses, simply dealt a head-on blow to the unprepared princes' coalition forces!

In the face of [-] elite soldiers with a minimum of one breath of internal energy, there is also Zhang Xiu, a top general who has stepped into the rank of Qi training, leading the team, and there is Jia Xu, a great military strategist who was found and subdued by Li Yuan In the case of assistance, the earth-type fairy art performed by the Nanhua old fairy who intervened but did not want to be too entangled in cause and effect was cracked by the bombardment of the army array, and then Zhang Xiu led [-] elite cavalry to fight and almost defeated Yan Liang and Wen Chou , Xiahouyuan, and Xiahoudun led the five thousand cavalry, and even almost picked up several camps of the coalition forces directly.

——It’s not that Zhang Xiuniu is so good that he can easily fight against four enemies who have entered the stage of Qi training and Cheng Gang, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Xia Houyuan, and Xiahou Dun.But Zhang Xiu, as Zhao Yun's senior brother, is about the same as the four opponents in terms of strength. Even if the probability of victory in 1VS1 is about five or five, the quality and quantity of the cavalry led by both sides are more important. In a full range of asymmetrical battles.

Under Zhang Xiu's command, there are [-] elite cavalry, at least they are elite cavalry who have cultivated their internal energy and experienced several battles!

The four commanders of Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Xiahouyuan, and Xiahoudun had 3000 cavalry, of which more than 1000 were elites under Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. Xiahouyuan and Xiahoudun had a total of more than [-] elites. Xiu's cavalry is not one or two!

As a result, after Zhang Xiu and [-] elite cavalry formed an army formation, they pierced through the cavalry formation commanded by Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Xiahouyuan, and Xiahoudun almost face to face. Daying, if Zuo Ci, Nanhua Old Immortal, Yu Ji and several lieutenant-rank military advisers and counselors hadn't come forward to block them with spells and use the army's internal energy to contain them, Zhang Xiu might really be able to pass the Hulao The feat of smashing the coalition camp with one blow.

——After forming an army formation and linking up the inner qi, the lethal spells and the single attack of the top generals are nothing to the cavalry charge led by Zhang Xiu.However, the ability of non-lethal magic to change the landscape and form a military division can still restrain the terrifying charge of Zhang Xiu's cavalry.

It's a pity that after Zhang Xiu's assault was stopped by the aristocratic family and the coalition forces of the princes, the coalition forces did not hesitate to use their superior high-end forces and cooperate with the large number of infantry to block him in the prison. In the middle of the pass, and then under the tight time, they even carried out crazy research operations at the cost of human life.

However, this time without the crushing of high-end forces and internal support, the coalition forces directly dropped tens of thousands of corpses in front of Hulao Pass, which proved that Hulao Pass is the last link between the officials and the outside of the pass. The strength of Xiongguan!

After a three-day siege, in which more than 4 people were killed or injured, even Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Cao Cao, who don't take human life seriously, have no choice but to temporarily stop The siege - it's not that they don't want to continue, but that there are only a few coalition forces with at most a hundred thousand people, and the casualties in a short period of time have reached a warning line. Under the circumstances that may cause mutiny in the army, Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others can only temporarily rest for a few days, rectify the morale of the army and wait for the arrival of the army of many princes and aristocratic families!

But at this time, the reinforcements led by Li Yuan had already arrived outside Hulao Pass, and almost arrived at the same time as Liu Bei, Tao Qian, Han Fu and other princes who had just arrived at Hulao Pass...

……

No. 15 night of the Qing Emperor's Side Call, the guard's mansion in Hulao Pass.

"Zhang Xiu, I have met the lord!"

"Jia Xu, I have met the lord!"

"Zhang Liao, I have seen the lord!"

"The last general, Tai Shici, met the general!"...

In the hall of the mansion, the guarding generals and military advisers of Hulao Pass respectfully greeted Li Yuan who was seated above.

Among the defenders of Hulaoguan, Zhang Xiu, who was valued because of his relationship with Zhao Yun's brother and who had broken through to the rank of Gang by chance, obediently served him after Zhao Yun persuaded him to fight Li Yuan a few times.

Jia Xu, who was captured by Zhao Yun because the Liangzhou Army retreated, wanted to continue hiding, and Zhang Liao, who was recruited when the Liangzhou Army was annexed. Both were counselors and generals in the Three Kingdoms. Li Yuan was subdued, and now when he saw Li Yuan coming to Hulao Pass, he respectfully saluted and greeted his lord.

As for the military generals and counselors who joined Tai Shici and other internal qi and body ranks because of the military examinations in the imperial examination?Well, compared to the powerful Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu, needless to say, the potential and reputation are also inferior to Zhang Liao's at least a few chips (Tai Shici's potential may not be much worse than Zhang Liao, but Zhang Liao has already worshiped Li Yuan as his lord, while Tai Shici has not yet Make a decision), so for Li Yuan, the focus is still on Zhang Xiu, Jia Xu, Zhang Liao and others.

"Haha, Wenhe, Wenyuan, you don't need to be too polite! Sit down quickly!"

Seeing the respectful faces of Zhang Xiu, Jia Xu, Zhang Liao, Tai Shici and other generals stationed at Hulao Pass, Li Yuan greeted the generals under his command with a smile.Then when Zhang Xiu and others just sat down, they said approvingly: "This time, the coalition forces of those aristocratic families and princes should not be underestimated. The Sishui Pass was breached within a day, and the tiger prison is as solid as gold in your hands. , It is indeed hard work for you all!"

Li Yuan's words are indeed not exaggerating. The rapid fall of Sishui Pass is certainly due to Li Yuan putting a lot of water in it, but he didn't expect that there would be three more Nanhua Old Immortals, Zuo Ci, and Yu Ji on the side of the coalition of princes. At least the powerhouse at the peak of the lieutenant.Fortunately, Li Yuan didn't release water at Hulao Pass. He arranged not only Zhang Xiu and other confidant generals to garrison, but also [-] elite defenders cooperated with the strong defense of Hulao Pass, which made it impossible for the coalition forces to break through smoothly.

No matter from which point of view, Zhang Xiu and others firmly guarded the Hulao Pass, and took advantage of the situation to make the coalition forces who wanted to attack Sili lose their spirit. Li Yuan should praise Zhang Xiu and others.

"The lord has won the prize!"

"This is our job!"...

Hearing Li Yuan's compliment, Zhang Xiu, Jia Xu, Zhang Liao, Tai Shici and others also responded respectfully.

After all, when hearing the boss's praise, except for a few solid-minded people, most generals and civil servants would shirk a few words and express their modesty.

"Haha, you guys are too modest! Forget it, let's have a banquet!"

Seeing the performance of Zhang Xiu and others, Li Yuan also laughed a few times before waving his hand to signal for a banquet.

When the delicacies and wines were served one by one, the extraordinarily rich banquet began except for the lack of singing and dancing, and the atmosphere with Li Yuan's presence gradually eased.

Especially when Zhang Xiu and others discovered that Li Yuan was also very talkative at the banquet and chatted with them kindly, these generals gradually let go of their original cautious attitude, drinking and talking with Li Yuan , and gradually began to talk with their original personality.

"...My lord, a few days before the coalition army, the guy named Nanhua Old Immortal cast spells, and there were a few difficult guys who got entangled with the military adviser, otherwise we would have flattened those roads long ago The coalition formed by the family!"
