Chapter 356: The Second Battlefield
Although Yang Rui blocked the sneak attack of Dong Zhuo's camp from the water, it can be said that he helped Sun Jian reduce the number of troops that attacked all the way, but according to Yang Rui's observation of the battle situation between the two sides, it seems that Sun Jian's soldiers and horses along the way are still very passive, and I am afraid that they will not be able to get rid of the result of losing the battle.
Yang Rui didn't have any troops at hand, and he didn't intend to get involved, so he left after learning about the general situation outside the Tiger Prison Pass.
The more fierce the battle on this side of the Tiger Pass, the more Dong Zhuo's camp can be involved, and the more convenient it is for Yang Rui's troops to act in Luoyang, Yang Rui plans to make a fuss in the imperial city, and Dong Zhuo's defensive strength in the city is naturally as small as possible!
In fact, Yang Rui didn't know that it was not only Yang Rui who blocked the sneak attack for Sun Jian, but Sun Jian's players had also done a lot of work to prevent the sneak attack of Dong Zhuo's camp, and issued an early warning when Dong Zhuo's attack soldiers first appeared, which greatly alleviated the suddenness of the sneak attack.
Rao is like this, Sun Jian's soldiers and horses are still in a passive position in the battle, which shows that the general trend of the plot is still difficult to change! After Yang Rui figured out the general situation, he followed the fleet, and it was not until the afternoon of the second day that the more than 3,000 soldiers who first ascended arrived near Luoyang.
However, the Dong Zhuo camp near Luoyang was very dense, and even the section between Beibi Mountain and the Yellow River often had patrol cavalry soldiers, so during the day, Yang Rui did not immediately lead the soldiers to Juling Villa, but continued to travel a long distance above the Yellow River, and his whereabouts were detected by others.
It was not until after night fell that Yang Rui returned to the Yellow River section near Beibi Mountain with the fleet, under the cover of night. Yang Rui took the lead in the front reconnaissance and eliminated the reconnaissance soldiers of Dong Zhuo's camp. The more than 3,000 warriors who were transported this time were sent to the Juling Villa.
At this time, all the more than 6,500 fifth-order pioneer warriors had been transported by Yang Rui to the Gathering Spirit Villa. It can be regarded as a lot of strength, but Yang Rui did not rush to try to dig the secret passage to the Luoyang Imperial City Palace, but still let these soldiers temporarily stay in the villa.
Yang Rui is going to bring Zhang Ning, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Wu Anguo and a few others over before doing it, so as to increase some success! In addition, although Chen Lin probably does not have much combat effectiveness, he has been serving in the Luoyang Imperial City before, so he must be familiar with the terrain, and it is best to bring it with him.
After the first warriors are stationed. Yang Rui used the Daofeng Flying Carpet to return along the surface of the Yellow River, and quickly caught up with the previous fleet, and led the fleet to break through the Yellow River surface of the Tiger Pass before dawn.
After experiencing the incident in which the troop transport fleet was blocked by Yang Rui, Dong Zhuo's camp obviously strengthened the reconnaissance of the Yellow River surface around the first line of Tiger Pass, but the other party only strengthened the reconnaissance, but there was not enough water power for defense.
Therefore, when Yang Rui led the fleet to the vicinity, his whereabouts were quickly discovered by the ships of Dong Zhuo's camp, and the other party's reaction was to turn around and flee, sounding the gong to warn while escaping, but this is all they can do. The rest didn't have any move to stop Yang Rui's fleet.
Yang Rui hoped that Dong Zhuo's camp could properly arrange some surface blocking forces, and Yang Rui had previously obtained a lot of merit points and points from the battle of troop carriers. I also obtained more than 1,000 Tier 4 Infantry Skill Books, which is also a good harvest......
The fleet passed along the Yellow River surface of the first line of the Tiger Pass, and Yang Rui was able to hurry with confidence.
At this time, the soldiers and horses of Yang Rui's headquarters, which were guarded by Gao Shun and others, were still nearly a day's away from the Tiger Prison Pass, and it was also half a day's journey from Xingyang City, and when Yang Rui returned, he had already made a detour to investigate, and Xingyang City had been reoccupied by Dong Zhuo's camp!
"Report to the lord, General Sun Jian in front reported that the night before yesterday was attacked by Dong Zhuo's troops, and Sun Jian's generals suffered a lot of losses.
Yesterday, in one day, the other seven-way princes who traveled with him had already come to the lord several times, wanting to discuss whether to postpone the march of the army, but they all followed the instructions of the lord before leaving, and were told by Gao Shun that the lord had personally gone to the tiger prison to investigate! So the princes of all walks of life jointly decided to slow down the march in order to wait for the results of the Lord's investigation, and asked the Lord to announce the ......"
Yang Rui had just arrived at the camp, and Gao Shun had already reported about Sun Jian's attack, which coincided with the situation that Yang Rui had investigated the night before yesterday and in the early hours of this morning, and Sun Jian was finally defeated!
And fortunately, Yang Rui had instructed Gao Shun and a few people before leaving, if there were other princes from all walks of life to look for him, he said that he had personally gone to the Tiger Prison Pass to investigate the situation, but he didn't expect this excuse to implicitly coincide with the background of Sun Jian's attack and defeat, and just dealt with the other princes of the Seven Roads.
"Did Fang Yuan Shao and other princes know about this matter after it was reported?" Yang Rui asked after hearing Gao Shun's words.
"At that time, the fast horse sent by General Sun Jian was rushing towards the lord of Yuan Shao's alliance, and when he walked to the lord, he just passed on the relevant news, and then went to the direction of the lord of Yuan Shao's alliance and other princes in the rear. Gao Shundao.
"I will first discuss with the princes of all walks of life, and send messengers to the tents of the military camps to invite the princes to come and discuss the matter."
"No!"
According to Yang Rui's instructions, the herald informed the other princes of the Seven Roads to come to discuss the matter, and about half an hour passed, and Ding Yuan, Qiao Mao, Liu Dai and other seven people arrived one after another.
"Now Sun Wentai is newly defeated, and you all know the relevant situation, and according to the situation that Lieyang went to Tiger Prison Pass and Xingyang City to investigate, Dong Zhuojun's morale is currently strong, taking advantage of the victory in the battle with Sun Wentai, and rearranged a lot of soldiers in the Kanto area, occupying a lot of strongholds, and the most important thing is that Xingyang City has now been recaptured by Dong Zhuo's troops, I don't know what you think?"
Yang Rui first explained what he knew to the seven princes, and then began to consult the princes. At this time, Yang Rui did not have the will to go or unwilling to go to the Tiger Prison Pass, so it was not impossible to listen to the opinions of these people.
"Qiao Mao thinks that since the morale of Dong Zhuo's camp is at this time, it is better for us to avoid its front for the time being, and stay in place to wait for the arrival of Yuan Benchu's alliance leader and others, and then join forces to make plans in one place, so it is safer......" Qiao Mao said first.
As the direct initiator of the princes' discussion of Dong, although Qiao Mao is not the leader of the alliance or the deputy leader of the alliance, his words still have a certain weight, and his mention is also in line with the interests of all the princes, so Qiao Mao immediately got the approval of several people as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Zhang Miao thinks that what Qiao Yuanwei said is reasonable, but now the army is not complete, and it is not easy to act rashly!"
Liu Dai agreed with what Yuan Wei said......"
“……”
Four of the remaining six princes agreed with Qiao Mao's point of view, and the proposal to stay in place and wait for backup was basically decided. It is worth noting that in addition to Ding Yuan, there is another person - Yuan Yi has not expressed any position.
However, after a little thought, it will be understood that Yuan Yi and Yuan Shao are their own families, and at this time, all the princes have to put the burden on Yuan Shao in the rear, so it is very normal for Yuan Yi not to express his approval, at this time, Yuan Yi not only no longer fights for Yuan Shao's right to speak as before, but it is likely to hope that Yang Rui will take the lead in stabbing the tiger prison This hornet's nest!
It didn't matter what Qiao Mao said about Yang Rui, so in the end, Yang Rui and other princes of the Eighth Route finally settled down in place, and did not march in the direction of Tiger Prison Pass or Xingyang City, but waited for Yuan Shao and other almost princes to come.
"System announcement: The Montenegrin Army was picked up by Dong Zhuo, officially defected to Dong Zhuo's camp, and wreaked havoc in Jizhou and Yanzhou, the second battlefield of Dong Zhuo's rebellion was opened, and players in the anti-Dong Alliance camp can go to the relevant areas to exterminate immediately, and the merit points, points and plot tasks obtained are equal to the frontal battlefield, and I hope that the majority of players will actively participate in the ......"
When Yang Rui and other princes of the Eighth Route were stationed in place for two days, they never waited for the arrival of Yuan Shao and other rear princes, but waited for a systematic announcement of the opening of the second battlefield.
At this time, calculating the time, the 400,000 players organized by several major players such as Iron Blood * Sword should have arrived in Dongjun, just in time to catch up with the arrival of the Black Mountain Army, and the opportunity for Yang Rui to choose to cooperate with it is also very appropriate!
During the two days that he was stationed in place, Yang Rui was not idle. First of all, Yang Rui still allowed the player forces in the soldiers and horses on the road to move freely, go to the direction of Tiger Prison Pass or Xingyang City to brush Dong Zhuo's camp troops, and earn various equipment, merit points, and point system.
At the same time, Yang Rui also used the Dao Feng Flying Carpet to reconnoiter the enemy situation near Xingyang City many times, which was also implemented under the establishment of the CU Alliance, the only remaining boss of the player organization.
Previously, the princes agreed to garrison in situ, although it did not have much impact on Yang Rui, but Yang Rui is also a player, and earning merits, points, equipment, skill books, task rewards, etc. is equally important to Yang Rui, so after being mentioned by the CU Alliance, Yang Rui has been thinking about whether to take Xingyang City alone for two days!
Xingyang City, as the nearest city to the east of the Tiger Pass, has a very important strategic location for the two camps, although the current Dong Zhuo camp is very high morale, occupying Xingyang City, but it does not garrison many troops in the lonely city of Guandong, just relying on the strength of the city wall.
And the strength of Yang Rui's soldiers and horses, even if he has sent almost half of the player forces, it should not be a problem to attack Xingyang City, not to mention that there is also the player boss of the CU Alliance to coordinate from it! (To be continued......)
