Chapter 372 Strength Reversal
Dong Zhuo's troops were separated by the Yellow River, unable to connect north and south, and temporarily lacked strong surface power to break this dilemma, so the passive situation was difficult to reverse.
Dong Zhuo and others were untrustworthy in Luoyang City, but the soldiers who sent to investigate the situation also went and did not return. In the situation of the war in Hulao Pass was very stalemate, although it was very important to recover the Young Emperor Liu Bian, Dong Zhuo had to temporarily go to Hulao Pass to supervise the battle.
Since Dong Zhuo killed Yuan Shao's uncle, Yuan Wei, under the leadership and supervision of Yuan Shao, the heroes of Guandong have become much more intense than before when they only worked but did not work. Although Hulao Pass is majestic, the defenders in the pass are increasingly struggling to defend.
Hulao Pass cannot be misunderstood. If the vassals are taken down by the coalition of princes and enter the Guanzhong area, no matter how strong Dong Zhuo is, he will not be able to curb the army of heroes! Therefore, defending Hulao Pass is the fundamental reason, and Dong Zhuo's understanding is still very clear on this point.
Dong Zhuo went to Hulao Pass without mentioning it. Then Yang Rui attacked and killed around Heyang City and kept harassing around Dong Zhuo's troops, and Li Jue and others became increasingly passive. Originally, Liangzhou's troops were good at cavalry, but because they were fighting across rivers, it was quite difficult for infantry to cross the river under the blockade of Yang Rui's fleet, let alone horses or the like.
In this way, both sides of the battlefield north of the Yellow River are infantry against infantry, and Yang Rui has no speed advantage in attacking the opponent. He can only rely on the strength of the Iron Guard's close servant to find the opponent's weakness, and often choose to do it at night to facilitate escape.
As generals under Dong Zhuo, Li Jue and several other generals were naturally of great strength. Yang Rui did not dare to underestimate the other party from the beginning. The location of the action was to choose a position far away from the main account of Dong Zhuo's troops to prevent encountering one of the famous generals.
Even so, two of them still caused the opponent's general to take action, or the opponent's general finally seized the opportunity and took action twice. When Dong Zhuo's troops were unable to capture Heyang City for a while, they were actually looking for Yang Rui's traces, hoping to get rid of this trouble outside the city first.
Once, Yang Rui and his troops only entered the auxiliary skills range of an opponent's general and did not encounter great danger. At that time, Yang Rui only felt that the strength of Dong Zhuo soldiers he was facing had increased a lot (the status bar could not read the enemy's auxiliary skills information). Therefore, he realized something was wrong and then separated from the opponent in time.
Another time, it was more dangerous. Yang Rui was almost entangled by the opponent's main general Li Jue. At that time, Li Jue's combo skills had already taken action, which was obviously a skill that increased with increasing speed and damage. Fortunately, Yang Rui was just about to start a surprise attack at that time, and the soldiers had already withdrawn in time when they saw something bad. Yang Rui himself used the eighty-one style of the fallen goose to barely resist one move, and then he quickly fled in the opposite direction of the soldiers.
Fortunately, Li Jue's unique skill is a speed-based skill with increasing damage. His moves were not particularly fierce at the beginning. His speed advantage was greatly resolved by Yang Rui's Luoyan Gun Technique, so Yang Rui was able to barely take over the opponent's move and escape from the battle with the opponent by luck.
However, when Yang Rui fled far away, he realized that he had been hit by the other party on his spine near his left shoulder, and the wound was still a little deep, but it was not fatal. From then on, Yang Rui was more careful when he attacked Dong Zhuo's troops in the siege of the city. He often tentatively attacked the other party in one place, causing chaos, but in fact he attacked the other party in other positions.
Two days later, Zhang Ning, Gao Shun and others in the city sent out dozens of 5th-level thieves in a timely manner. When Yang Rui took action, he had a foresight and would not directly bump into the opponent's chief general.
Originally, after the siege of Dong Zhuo's troops gathered troops, there was already a lot of gaps. These 5th-level thieves leaders were Zhang Ning and others in the city, and used ropes to put them down in sequence. With these 5th-level thieves leaders for investigation and guidance, it was much easier for Yang Rui's troops to move.
Even before the thief leader left the city, Zhang Ning and others had already agreed with him a secret code, and if necessary, they could lead them to the city wall through ropes, which initially realized the information inside and outside Heyang City. If there was any action, it would take a little effort to communicate.
Of course, before the thieves left the city, Zhang Ning and others agreed on some other secret codes, such as Yang Rui attacked and killed them in which direction, so they agreed on different forms of secret codes. At that time, the defenders in the city in a certain direction were always ready to get news, and if they had the chance, they would respond.
Four or five days passed, and the Dong Zhuo soldiers who were besieging the city suffered a considerable loss. Often, when Yang Rui was attacked by a sneak attack on the periphery and the general went to check, the soldiers in the city also secretly opened the city gate and rushed from inside to outside for a while. Dong Zhuo soldiers also lost one thing, with a loss of half a little more than before. In four or five days, they had lost another 140,000 soldiers, and the remaining number of soldiers was less than 150,000!
At this point, the offensive and defensive battle between Heyang City has not reversed its strength, but it was already very difficult for Li Jue and Dong Zhuo's troops to siege the city. Later, the other party simply withdrew the siege and concentrated around the city gates. At this time, it was much more difficult for Yang Rui to attack again.
"System announcement: The anti-Dong Alliance camp player Xingyao* Changkong Dragon Soul recovered the small city occupied by Dong Zhuo's camp - Xincheng. The special reward of plot merit value is 10,000 points, and the plot point system is 10,000 points. This is hereby announced."
......
"System announcement: The anti-Dong Alliance camp player Iron Blood Sword recovered the medium-sized city occupied by Dong Zhuo's camp - Juancheng. The special reward of plot merit value is 20,000 points, and the plot point system is 20,000 points. This is hereby announced."
......
Just when Yang Rui and Dong Zhuo's general Li Jue and others fought in Heyang City, several other major player organizations were not idle. After Dragon Soul lost the Gongxian County, players in Guanzhong won a small city - Xincheng in the name of Xingyao. The location of the new city is also on the Luoshui tributary. According to the situation Yang Rui judged that this should be done by the same group of players.
However, the new city is already far south of Luoyang City, and it is another small city. It is no longer as threatening as Gongxian before for Dong Zhuo's camp. However, for players such as Dragon Soul and Xingyao, the new city has become a stronghold for them to operate in the Sili area. Since then, it has been a siege in the southern part of Luoyang and gradually opened up its abilities.
At the same time, several major player organizations of the Eastern Front, which have achieved good results, snatching back the medium-sized city, Juancheng, which can be said to be the biggest achievement on the Eastern Front so far.
The overall strength of the Black Mountain Army is definitely not as strong as that of Dong Zhuo’s headquarters. However, there are quite a few generals in the Black Mountain Army. Once the Black Mountain Army is captured, it is impossible for the Black Mountain Army to have no military generals to guard it. Therefore, the ability of players to take this city represents the hard power of several major player organizations.
At the same time, this also represents the strength of the players. It has to be said that at some times, even if their own strength is exactly the same, the difference between the NPC and the players may be less than two points!
Of course, whether it is the Heishan Army on the Eastern Front or the Dong Zhuo headquarters in Silizhou, there is one thing that is common - almost all the troops involved in the battles between the two places are Yang Rui who are fighting against Dong's troops. Therefore, the contribution of Yang Rui's troops and horses is beyond the reach of the princes, reaching nearly 30 million points, leaving all other princes far behind!
Such a huge contribution value is only three or four times the total contribution value of all other princes. Apart from Yang Rui's journey, the second-ranked Sun Jian's contribution value of all the princes has only been a few million, and the contribution value of other princes is even smaller.
Perhaps the situation will change after Ding Yuan's troops arrive in Dongjun. From the time his army set off, several days have passed. I think it will take a few days to arrive in Dongjun in a few days.
However, as the strength comparison between the two sides slowly changed in Heyang City's fierce battle, Li Jue finally couldn't hold back after two days of persistence. After rectifying the soldiers around Heyang County, he retreated to the nearby county town and confronted the Heyang County town occupied by Yang Rui.
During the entire battle between Heyang City, the remaining money, items, etc. were not counted. Yang Rui received as much as one million in just two items of plot merit and points, especially the plot point value. Yang Rui had a loss of nearly ten million in the resurrected soldiers before, and at this time he had basically filled in this loophole.
After resurrecting all the soldiers who had previously lost, Yang Rui's number of troops in Hanoi County increased again, including 40,000 close attendants of the fifth-level Iron Guard, more than 6,500 warriors and soldiers first ascended the fifth-level, more than 800 archers in the fourth-level and fifth-level, 42 thieves in the fifth-level, and more than 10 junior and intermediate-level generals.
In addition to the historical generals and historical scholars in Yang Rui's hands, Yang Rui's total military strength north of the Yellow River can really match Li Jue and his group in the county. Although Li Jue and other Dong Zhuo's troops still have more than 100,000, their average strength is only about 4th level. Yang Rui brought to Hebei area with elite soldiers, basically mainly two 5th level special troops!
Therefore, if you face Li Jue again, Yang Rui has already gained some advantages. Although the military power calculation method of the 5th-level special troops is the same as that of ordinary 5th-level soldiers, its strength has reached the level of the 6th-level ordinary troops.
