Chapter 15 The War Begins
I don’t know how to say the speed of combat readiness in this era. If you really want to say it, so many princes are close and far away from Luoyang. Logically speaking, even if they gather troops immediately after the autumn harvest, they will not be able to reach Hulao Pass in another half a month. Even Yuan Shao, who is closest, should not be so fast.
However, the fact is that these guys did gather at Yuan Shao in half a month, and selected Yuan Shao as the cute leader, um, the leader, and then fought all the way to Hulao Pass. At this time, Murong Chen had not yet arrived at Hulao Pass. After all, it was simple for Murong Chen to come over, but the problem was that Mira, as the current regent princess, had to come over, so there were many things that needed to be handled properly.
Mira was about to come, to some extent, she was considered an imperial commander in person, but Murong Chen didn't want Mira to come in this small scene. Well, it was indeed a small scene. Compared with later generations, especially in the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties and even the Republic of China, there were hundreds of thousands of troops, and the largest scale of the Three Kingdoms period was only about 400,000 people, and there were not many people who actually participated in the war. This crusade was really a small scene.
Murong Chen has 50,000 troops participating in the war, and Yuan Shao has a combined total of less than 200,000. Among them, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Sun Jian have fought against the big head, and raised about 100,000. The remaining princes are only 100,000 or 20,000 people, and the fewer are only 100,000 or 20,000. What is this kind of war?
Therefore, Murong Chen really didn't pay much attention to this war, and Murong Chen was completely confident to beat the opponent. The reason was very simple. He had a super elite Bingzhou wolf cavalry with a total of 6,000 pairs of talents, and a two-talent Xiliang Iron Cavalry with a talented elite, and 30,000 white-board infantry. In terms of elite level, Murong Chen's side was completely overwhelmed by Yuan Shao.
As for military generals, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Cheng Lian, Cao Xing, and Hua Xiong all have internal energy left their body. Among them, Cheng Lian and Cao Xing were the peak of Qi training Chenggang that were fed purely by Murong Chen's medicine. With this qi fortune, they broke through the internal energy leaving the body. Gao Shun was "beating" by Murong Chen's medicine, and he accumulated a lot. In addition, Gao Shun's qualifications were also good. Therefore, after breaking through the internal energy leaving the body, he reached the level of internal energy leaving the body. After this qi fortune, he achieved the peak of internal energy leaving the body like Zhang Liao, and was considered the second among the four internal energy leaving the body under Murong Chen.
As the number one warrior in Xiliang, Hua Xiong has accumulated strong enough. After this luck showed, Hua Xiong took this opportunity to directly break through the internal energy leaving the body. Now it is also at a moderate level. In addition, with the weapon made by Murong Chen himself, Hua Xiong's combat power is also quite strong now. Although it may not be comparable to Guan Yu, it should not be killed within a few moves.
Well, I forgot to say that one of the reasons why Murong Chen took care of Hua Xiong like this is that this guy looks exactly the same as the big bull, which makes Murong Chen feel friendly when he looks at it. At the same time, Murong Chen can also be sure that this guy is the big bull with a memory blocked. On the other hand, Guan Yu with Zheng Zha's face that he had seen at the beginning is probably replaced by Zheng Zha. After all, if you really want to say it, Zheng Zha actually entered this dream world first than Mila. As for why he didn't come to find Murong Chen, Guan Erye, you can't throw Liu Da'er and Zhang Laosan down and run over by yourself, right?
At this time, Hua Xiong was confronting Yuan Shao with 30,000 white-board infantry and 20,000 Western Liang cavalry. Although there was no civil officials to deal with the other party's plans and the ability of civil officials such as changing the celestial phenomena, Hua Xiong also received Murong Chen's order. As long as he was strictly guarded and defended, the other party would have no choice but to do anything to him if he didn't leave the city. After all, the coalition forces had their own ulterior motives, and no one would be willing to use his soldiers to fill the big pit of siege.
However, Murong Chen was still a little worried about this. After all, Hua Xiong was also a general who was known as the number one warrior in Western Liang, and he did have some skills. Because of this, Murong Chen was actually quite worried about whether Hua Xiong would go out of the city to fight alone. After all, in this era, although the setting of generals fighting alone was idiotic, this is a very popular front-end activity in this era. The morale of the winner rose sharply, and the loser fell sharply, but he would also lose the life of the general. A legion lost its commander, and the rest would only run away in all directions, or wait for the opponent to chase and recruit him.
To a certain extent, Murong Chen, who does not have the advantage in the number of people, but in the field of military generals, going out to the city to fight alone is actually a very beneficial thing. Hua Xiong will adopt this strategy. To a certain extent, it is not wrong. The mistake is that there is a Guan Erye on the other side! Now I can only pray that Zheng Zha will really replace Guan Erye and recognize Hua Xiong as the big bull. Otherwise, haha, Hua Xiong may still have his original fate.
In addition, the reason why Hua Xiong listened to Murong Chen so much was not because he was actually a giant whose memory was sealed, but because Chu Xuan, who replaced Li Ru, said before that Li Ru's prestige in Xiliang was actually higher than Dong Zhuo. It can be said that the Xiliang soldiers obeyed Li Ru at all. Therefore, as long as Chu Xuan said that Murong Chen was his own person, then the entire Xiliang area would almost treat Murong Chen as his own person.
Of course, if Hua Xiong wants to go out of the city to fight alone, to some extent, it is also to compete for the sake of conquering Li Ru. After all, in this era, killing generals is also a considerable contribution. As for how to kill them, who cares whether you fight one by one or the two armies when they fight?
However, how do you say that Hua Xiong? It should be said that it is thick and thin. When confronted the coalition forces in front of Hulao Pass, Sun Jian was actually the first one. This is basically the same as in history. The only difference is the number of coalition forces. How many coalition forces were there in history? Murong Chen didn’t know. One said there were more than 500,000, and the other said there were more than 200,000. However, Murong Chen encountered more than 200,000, of which the soldiers who could fight were about 200,000, and the rest were food transporters like porters.
In the original history, Hua Xiong and Sun Jian, as the vanguard of the coalition, fought at Sishui Pass for a few days. Then, Yuan Shu cut off food and grass for Sun Jian, resulting in Sun Jian's defeat. However, the location of the battle was changed to Hulao Pass. Before Sun Jian had time to shortage food, Hua Xiong actually relied on the Xiliang Iron Cavalry's ability to break the formation and directly launched a night attack on Sun Jian's iron cavalry, without asking for many enemies to be killed. He just installed fire arrows on the strong crossbow of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, broke through Sun Jian's army's camp, and then shot at the pile of food and grass. After igniting it, he took the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to run away.
It’s not right to chase Sun Jian here, nor is it not right to chase him. After all, during the Three Kingdoms period, the soldiers under Sun Jian’s water battle was indeed a top-notch, but in the land battle, I can only laugh. Only the Danyang soldiers can fight, but they can’t stand the infantry fighting cavalry. The initiative is all in the hands of the cavalry!
Sun Jian had no choice but to put out the fire. As a result, he had to eat half a month's food, but only three days left to burn. Then, there was nothing to say. Sun Jian's army had no courage to attack the city, and Hua Xiong did not leave the city at all. So Sun Jian had to withdraw his troops and go to the coalition headquarters of Yuan Shao to join the army to ask for food.
Hua Xiong's move directly delayed Murong Chen for almost seven days. During these seven days, Murong Chen also completed the preparation for Mira's personal expedition. So Murong Chen's wolf cavalry left a thousand in Luoyang, commanded by Ding Ling, and the remaining five thousand were led by Murong Chen, and all four generals with internal energy left their bodies followed, while Mira brought all his hundred alien mothers with him.
However, Mira was a princess after all, and she could not really ride a horse and could only ride a carriage. Fortunately, Murong Chen had built the road well during this year in Luoyang to avoid the bumps of the carriage. Otherwise, riding a carriage would be more comfortable than riding a horse. However, the carriage would be slower than the cavalry after all, so it was already three days later when Murong Chen arrived at Hulao Pass.
During these three days, Hua Xiong also showed his might in front of the coalition forces. First, Sun Jian lost the face of the Tiger of Jiangdong because of the sneak attack by Hua Xiong, so he sent Zu Mao to challenge Hua Xiong. Then, Hua Xiong was shot by one in just three moves, making Sun Jian angry and wanted to take the battle to avenge his brothers. As a result, Cao Cao stopped him and did not die.
Afterwards, the princes of the coalition sent a few generals who were not very famous, but in fact they all had the peak of the qi training to become Gang. However, Hua Xiong was out of the body. Although normally, generals could feel the other party's cultivation. At least as long as the other party was not much higher than him, they could feel a rough idea. However, when Sun Jian and Hua Xiong met face to face, they just had a quick glance and didn't have time to sense it. They only knew that Hua Xiong was better than him. When they sent someone to challenge this time, the people on his side did not come back at all. This led to Hua Xiong's real realm. No one on the coalition side discovered it. So one general after another who practiced Qi training to become Gang was sent to send heads.
However, it would be fine if you give up a head once or twice. Four or five heads were given away, and the fool knew something was wrong. So the princes present looked at me and I looked at you, and no one sent anyone. After all, although the princes present may not be among the people, they were not fools after all. Even four or five generals who practiced Qi to the peak of Gang were cut off by the other party, and the other party's internal energy was completely out of their body!
"Who wants to fight and kill Hua Xiong?" Yuan Shao looked at the princes below with a calm expression. Anyway, so far, all the generals under the princes died. None of his generals appeared and he did not lose any of them. Of course, Dan Ding, so he was happy to watch the fun.
As soon as Yuan Shao finished speaking, a middle-aged general wearing iron armor behind Yuan Shu walked out with a steel gun, "I'm willing to go."
"This is my general Yu She!" Yuan Shu said with a proud look. To be honest, Yuan Shu sent Yu She out, but he was not to send someone to the death. Yu She is indeed a general under Yuan Shu, and is a general whose internal energy is separated from the body. However, Yu She was just entering the inner energy and leaving the body. He was promoted by this qi fortune. However, the internal energy is the internal energy and leaving the body. In the Central Plains, the internal energy is indeed a high-end force, otherwise how could Yuan Shu look proud?
"Another one who gave up the head." Zheng Zha, who had already replaced Guan Yu, still retained the flushed and waist-length beard, shook his head slightly and muttered disdainfully, causing Liu Bei and Zhang Fei to look at each other. Fortunately, the voice was not loud, so Zhang Fei and Liu Bei who were close to each other heard it. Of course, it is hard to say whether the generals behind the other princes who also reached the internal energy and left the body heard it. Anyway, the other party did not say that they heard it, so just pretend that the other party had not heard it.
ps: I don’t sleep when I get off night shift, and I’m dizzy and my brain is also sucked.
ps2: The weather is getting hot again, and we have seen the days when the dog sticks out his tongue again.
ps3: The Three Kingdoms are really hard to write. Fortunately, we set it up early. This is a magical version of the Three Kingdoms. We can just talk nonsense. We are so smart. (To be continued)
