Chapter 246: Sun Jian's First Victory

Until noon, no matter how the coalition troops outside the gate humiliated and scolded, Dong Zhuojun was unmoved, and only when the coalition army approached the city wall would he poke his head out and shoot the coalition army into a dusty face.

At this time, Yuan Shao, who was the leader of the alliance, couldn't sit still, he had already seen that the enemy in the pass was planning to defend it with an iron heart, and his brother Yuan Shu, in order to preserve his strength, only knew that he was scolding outside the pass, except for sending a small group of soldiers to test it, he had no intention of attacking at all. Seeing such a situation, he knew that he couldn't go on like this, if Yuan Shu and the others fooled around like this today and didn't fight the enemy at all, then the other princes would definitely follow the same example in the future, and when the time came, not to mention victory, it was not impossible for the whole army to be wiped out. So after noon, Yuan Shao ordered Yuan Shu and others to attack the city immediately, and if there was any prevarication, military law would deal with it!

When he received Yuan Shao's military order, Yuan Shu was of course very unhappy in his heart, but even if he didn't take Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, very seriously, he didn't dare to violate the military order openly, but he was reluctant to consume his army under this tiger prison, he first conveyed Yuan Shao's order to Kong Ling and Liu Dai, and emphasized that there should be no prevarication, otherwise the military law will deal with it. And he himself let those players who served him serve as cannon fodder, and used his military exploits and official positions to tempt players to work for him.

And Kong Ling and Liu Dai are not fools, in the face of such a world-class Xiongguan as Tiger Prison Pass, there will definitely be no good results in hard fighting, even if they have millions of troops under their command, it is not enough to fill it, so they don't plan to use their elite troops, but what they do is not as obvious as Yuan Shu. While ordering players to go into battle, they also sent their own cannon fodder troops. 、

In this way, although the real siege of the city is only a few less powerful rabble. It did not pose much threat to the defenders, but during the attack, the allied equipment units were not idle at all, and at the beginning of the battle, the ballistas and catapults were constantly throwing arrows and stones at the enemy, although they also suffered considerable losses. However, with the cooperation of your own troops, you can also cause some problems for the enemy.

At this time, the Tiger Prison Pass became a meat grinder, and the players and a small number of NPC cannon fodder troops outside the pass charged the city wall like ants, while the crossbow carts on both sides. The catapult was also operating at full capacity, one was smashed, and a new one was immediately assembled, and at this time the two sides began a real battle of strength. Including human and material resources.

The battle continued until dark. Yuan Shao first ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops, and after all the troops returned to the camp, someone soon sent the statistics of today's battle: in just half a day in the afternoon, the coalition army lost a total of millions of players, and the three princes also lost hundreds of thousands of NPC troops, while the defender's loss was only one-tenth of that of the coalition army. However, after half a day of incessant bombardment in the afternoon, the durability of the walls and gates of the Tiger Prison Pass had dropped by tens of millions of points, although this number was negligible compared to its upper limit of billions of durability. However, even if Lu Bu immediately organized an architect to repair the city wall as soon as the battle stopped for a while, it was only when dawn came. It's only about half recovered, and if it goes on at this rate, as long as the coalition forces are given enough time, they can theoretically smash this impregnable Xiongguan flat.

Although at the summary meeting after the battle every day, some people complained that Yuan Shu only sent low-strength player troops to serve as cannon fodder, but he did not send a single soldier, thinking that he was suspected of passively avoiding the battle and preserving his strength, which was not conducive to the unity of the coalition forces. But because of the prestige of the Yuan family, there are not too many people who agree, but there are still many people who think that Yuan Shu's practice of tempting those outsiders with ethereal fame and fortune and letting them act as cannon fodder is a matter of course, in their opinion, both the player and Dong Zhuo are threats, but now Dong Zhuo is powerful and has to temporarily rely on the power of the player. There were even people who ignored the presence of Wenmin, an outsider, and said in a grand manner that once Dong Zhuo was eliminated, they would gather the power of the imperial court to suppress the outsider's power.

This time, when those NPC princes were talking, Wenmin didn't interject, just sat in the corner and listened silently, and even kept silent when someone threatened to suppress the power of outsiders, he knew that no matter what he said at this time, there was no way to change the rejection of these aborigines from outsiders, because he had no way to stop the increasingly powerful players and aborigines from competing for space for survival. Although he is a player himself, his subordinates are all natives, so if one day the player and the aborigines clash, he really doesn't know which side to choose to stand on.

Seeing that the arguments between the princes from all walks of life were becoming more and more intense, Yuan Shao, the leader of the alliance, finally stood up, only to see him say: "Everyone, listen to me, we can all get together today, in order to eliminate Dong Zhuo and welcome back the Son of Heaven, what Yuan Shu did today is indeed a little inappropriate, if everyone will follow the same example in the future, and be reluctant to sacrifice, and reluctant to send elite troops to fight, those outsiders are not all fools, this is not good for us to achieve our goals, here, I apologize to everyone on his behalf, and I will not take it as an example!" I also hope that in the future, you will be able to go all out to deal with Dong Thief. ”

Hearing Yuan Shao say this, Cao Cao, who had been watching coldly, couldn't help but stand up and said: "Yuan Alliance Master, Cao Cao secretly thinks that the most important thing for those in charge of the army is to have clear rewards and punishments, and those who have merit will be rewarded, and those who have done so will be punished, so that the soldiers can use their lives to defeat the enemy." However, now that the leader of the alliance thinks that what General Hou did today is wrong, he does not give any punishment, I think this is a little improper. ”

Yuan Shao saw that someone dared to refute himself in person like this, and a trace of unhappiness flashed on his face, but after seeing that the person who refuted it was Cao Cao, he had to put away the dissatisfaction in his heart, and continued to say with a smile: "Meng De's words are serious, it's not that I am protecting my own brothers, it's just that the ancients have clouds, and those who don't know are not guilty, we didn't explain that we had to send our own descendants to participate in the war, and although the highway is suspected of passively avoiding the war and preserving its strength today, the outsiders he sent also caused great trouble to the enemy. The results achieved are not bad, so the merits are offset by the demerits, what do you think? ”

A large part of the princes present had something to do with their old Yuan family, and at this time, of course, it was only Yuan Shao's horse leader, so after Yuan Shao asked, the tent was full of compliments: "The alliance leader is wise!" "The leader of the alliance is far-sighted, it is a blessing for us!" ……

Cao Cao, who wanted to say anything more, could only stand aside indignantly and remain silent when he saw such a scene.

The battle on this side of the Tiger Prison Pass fell into a stalemate due to Lu Bu's iron-hearted stubborn defense, and then let's take a look at the side of Bishui Pass, speaking of which, before the main force of the coalition army arrived at the Tiger Prison Pass, Sun Jian had already fought with Hua Xiong stationed in Bishui Pass.

When Sun Jian arrived at Bishui Pass with his army, in addition to arranging for some men and horses to set up camp, he led a large army to call Dong Zhuojun outside the pass. Although Sun Jian is known as the Jiangdong Tiger, but Hua Xiong who guards the pass is not good at his generation, before Lu Bu joined, he has always been the number one combat force in the Xiliang Army, and now after Lu Bu joined, his status can be described as declining, seeing Lu Bu's treatment, his heart can be described as quite unbalanced, this time he was ordered to guard Bishui Pass, but he was full of strength and wanted to make a great contribution to prove himself, so when Sun Jian began to call the battle, he was full of confidence and immediately went out of the city to face the battle.

Seeing Hua Xiong leading people out to fight, Sun Jian immediately rode up, pointed at Hua Xiong with the ancient ingot knife in his hand and asked, "The thief general opposite, do you dare to fight with me?" ”

Hua Xiong originally came for meritorious service, so in the face of Sun Jian's challenge, he didn't hesitate at all, and rushed directly to fight with him.

These two people are regarded as the world's first-class generals, and the combat effectiveness of the two is not much different, and they are both famous generals who make swords, so as soon as the two of them come up, it is like Mars hitting the earth, and ......the deafening sound of the collision of weapons is endless, and I see them sometimes opening and closing, and they are engaged in a confrontation of strength; Sometimes it is like wearing flowers to attract butterflies, and compete in skills.

At this time, the players on both sides who watched the battle on the periphery even forgot the camp they were in, and indulged in the wonderful sword competition between the two on the field, and it is no exaggeration to say that this battle is likely to be the most exciting sword battle in the Three Kingdoms. (Although Guan Yu's attainments in swordsmanship may be higher than theirs, he pays attention to one-hit kills, and many of his opponents are killed by him in one move, so they are far inferior to this battle in terms of ornamentation.) )

It wasn't until a few hundred rounds later that at this time, Sun Jian's subordinate Cheng Pu Huang Gai and the other four were worried that Sun Jian would be physically exhausted and would be taken advantage of by the enemy, so they rushed up to help. And Hua Xiong over there had already done everything he could to deal with Sun Jian alone, but now when he saw four generals rushing out of the enemy camp, he was immediately shocked, and he pushed away Sun Jian's attack with all his might, turned around and ran.

After Sun Jian saw Hua Xiong fleeing, although he regretted that he could not keep him, he still ordered the whole army to attack. And because Hua Xiong was fleeing in a hurry, he didn't have time to make a correct response, so after Sun Jian's army launched a charge, the Xiliang army was still in chaos, and I didn't know whether to fight or retreat, until Hua Xiong returned to his own camp to convey the order to retreat. It's just that at this time, Sun Jian's army was about to rush to them, and the Xiliang army, which was caught off guard, only had to retreat while resisting Sun Jian's army's attack.

Due to Sun Jianjun's death, when the Xiliang army all withdrew, it still lost tens of thousands of horses, these tens of thousands of people are not comparable to those cannon fodder troops, these are the elite troops in the Xiliang army, such elites have a total of 300,000 people in Bishui Pass, and this battle lost about one-fifth of it at once, and more importantly, the loss of morale in the first battle, so this battle can be described as a big victory for Sun Jianjun.
