Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
After absorbing so many high-quality materials, the spirit tree in the Xuanji Ring has grown to nearly half a meter high, and its aura covers an area of two or three hundred meters, and within this range, the aura value has also reached more than eighty.
However, Yang Tian also found that the higher the Transformation Spirit Tree is, the more high-quality materials it absorbs, but the slower the growth rate, which is completely asymmetrical. Yang Tian had also thought about the reason for this situation, and he felt that it was either because the higher the growth of the Spirit Transformation Tree, the more energy it needed for each growth. Another possibility is that the reason why the Spirit Transformation Tree opened so quickly before was because the shell of the Sealing Spirit Transformation Tree was formed by a strong life force, coupled with those five second-grade spirit fruits, which made the Spirit Transformation Tree absorb sufficient spiritual energy in a short period of time, and then this phenomenon of crazy growth appeared.
It's just that Yang Tian has no way of knowing the real reason, maybe the two factors he thinks are there! Anyway, there is no way to verify this matter, and at the same time, this matter itself has no effect on him, so Yang Tian is not in the mood to get to the bottom of it.
On the sixth day, Yang Tian suddenly received news from Dong Bingyu, saying that Sun Jian had broken through the city wall of Bishui Pass today, and at this time the army was engaged in a battle with the defenders of the pass, and the casualties on both sides were very heavy. However, Dong Bingyu predicts that within today's day, he should be able to wipe out the remnants of the enemy in Bishui Pass and completely occupy Bishui Pass.
When Yang Tian heard the news, he immediately frowned, this Sun Jian is too fierce! The seventeen princes on his side attacked the Tiger Prison Pass, but they did not capture it, but the princes of his side had already taken the Bishui Pass, which was a heavy slap in the face to the defenders under the Tiger Prison Pass. Of course, this slap has nothing to do with Yang Tian. After all, he also has part of his credit for capturing Bishui Pass, first of all, he captured the opponent's general Huaxiong at the beginning, and at the same time sent a large force of troops and grain and grass to support Sun Jian, it can be said that if there was no Yang Tian, Sun Jian would have been defeated and retreated under Bishui Pass, how could there be today's success.
Yang Tian didn't know where the Blood Sail Fleet was now, but according to the speed estimate, it should have reached the Luoyang Territory in the next two days, but now Gong Jun has not contacted him. This made him unsure for a while.
Immediately, Yang Tian wrote a letter and sent it to Gong Jun, and then anxiously waited for news in the tent.
Almost an hour or so, the emperor-level snow pigeon released by Yang Tian flew back, and at the same time brought back the news of Gong Jun.
See the letterhead that the snow pigeon brought back. A smile appeared on Yang Tian's face, because he already knew that the fleet led by Gong Jun was only three or four thousand kilometers away from Bishui Pass, and with the sailing speed of his fleet, it would only take half a day at most. At this time, even if Dong Zhuo led his army to flee Luoyang, Yang Tian would have enough time to let the fleet overtake Dong Zhuo's army, and then intercept it in front.
After making up his mind, Yang Tian didn't care if the Bishui Pass was breached. He immediately instructed Dong Bingyu and the God-Killing Monarch to attack on their own to earn greater benefits for themselves. Anyway, he had already released a series of daily tasks such as killing enemies before, and after Dong Bingyu and the others completed it, they would naturally be able to get the corresponding rewards.
Subsequently. Yang Tian waited quietly, he wanted to see how good Dong Zhuo's patience was, and when he would choose to evacuate Chang'an.
……
At the same time that Yang Tian got the news that Bishui Pass had been breached, Yuan Shao under the Tiger Prison Pass and Dong Zhuo in Luoyang City all learned the news for the first time. Although the two are completely hostile to each other. But at this moment, the feeling is surprisingly consistent, that is, it is like swallowing a fly.
The reason why Dong Zhuo felt depressed was naturally very simple. He only talked to Yang Tian about the Tiger Prison Pass before, in his opinion, the Bishui Pass is guarded by Guo Yan's army, and it will be difficult to be breached, after all, the besiegers are only Sun Jian's princes, but the Tiger Prison Pass is different, there are seventeen princes outside the Tiger Prison Pass, in this situation of seventeen, it is normal for Dong Zhuo to ignore the Bishui Pass.
But now, it was this Bishui Pass, which he ignored, that actually became the last straw that broke the camel's back, so that the passage between the Kanto region and Luoyang was opened, in this case, Luoyang would not be safe, and they needed to withdraw from Luoyang as much as possible.
Fortunately, he was not idle in the past few days, and let Lu Bu lead the army to loot in Luoyang City, forcibly robbing the wealth of the wealthy families in Luoyang City, and even the imperial tomb was forcibly broken by him and looted the burial goods inside. At this time, even if he withdrew from Luoyang, he would have enough wealth to pave the way for his rise.
And the reason why Yuan Shao felt this way was because of this battle against Dong, but he organized it, and as a result, he led the army to attack the Tiger Prison Pass and failed to achieve results, but Sun Jian, who was alone in the other direction, opened the dilemma and broke through the gate of Bishui Pass.
This result made Yuan Shao not only depressed, but also hated the other princes who were passive and sluggish, if they hadn't flinched, he and the others would have already captured the Tiger Prison, how could it be the result now.
Perhaps stimulated by Sun Jian, Yuan Shao ordered the army to speed up the progress of the project at the first time, not only sending the elite army under his command to the battlefield, but also asking Yuan Shu to also send the elite army under his command.
When someone takes the lead, there are definitely countless people behind it. It's like someone who was passive and sluggish before, and a large number of people began to be timid. But now with the all-out siege of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, Cao Cao and others naturally responded immediately, and the pressure on the defenders in the Tiger Prison Pass suddenly increased. Fortunately, at this time, they did not know that the Bishui Pass had been breached, otherwise they might have chosen to abandon the pass and flee immediately.
Although those princes who were passively waiting for war had not yet made up their minds at this time, they knew that how they chose these people was irrelevant, but if they made the wrong choice, it was related to their own fate. Because judging from the current situation, it has become a foregone conclusion that the Tiger Prison Pass will be breached, and when the army enters Luoyang and let the Son of Heaven return to power, then Yuan Shao and others will definitely tell the emperor that these people do not want to save them, and then how can they have a good life? Maybe it's possible to cut it all over. In the past few days, they have clearly observed the changes in Yuan Shao's situation, so in order to survive, they also sent an elite army to join the siege battle.
Yang Tian was naturally not far behind, anyway, at this time, the Jinfan Navy led by Gong Jun was almost at Bishui Pass, and he wished that Dong Zhuo would be driven out of Luoyang City as soon as possible, so that they could retreat westward as much as possible, so that they could complete the task of fighting Dong as soon as possible.
With the addition of these elite legions, the defenders on the Tiger Prison Pass finally realized what it means to be defeated, less than an hour after these elite legions joined the battle, the already precarious Tiger Prison Pass was finally torn open a gap, and countless armies poured onto the city wall and launched a fierce battle with the defenders. At this time, there was no such elite army as the trapped camp in the Tiger Prison, and they no longer had the ability to turn the tide.
In the evening, most of the city walls of the Tiger Prison Pass were already in the hands of the Dong coalition army, and the commander of the pass had no hope of holding the Tiger Prison Pass at this time, and saw more and more enemy troops pouring onto the city wall, his heart fell to the bottom, and finally he had no choice but to give up the city wall and turn to street fighting with the Dong coalition army.
Street fighting is undoubtedly one of the most brutal battles, because no one knows when or out of what weapon will emerge and take their own life, and no one knows how many people will hide in the shadows and stare at you while you are vigilantly looking around in the middle of the street.
The street fighting at night is even more brutal, because the qiē is hidden in the dark, and the qi will be even more dangerous.
Of course, these dangers are all derived from dark warfare, and if everyone fights with open guns and knives, it is no different from ordinary encounters. It's dangerous, but it's not cruel.
As Dong Zhuo's army gradually retreated, Yuan Shao ordered the army to follow up immediately, and be sure to destroy the opponent's living force as much as possible. After all, this is not the last battle, if there are too many remnants of the army left for the other party, and after these people flee back to Luoyang City, they will inevitably be reorganized into an army by Dong Zhuo, which will bring huge trouble to themselves.
The military general may have made up his mind to compete with the Dong coalition army in this city, and he asked all the lights in the city to be extinguished. Moreover, the Tiger Prison Pass belongs to the military pass, and naturally there are no ordinary people living in it, so the Tiger Prison Pass with the lights turned off is completely dark. And in this dark night, although there is no blood to be seen, you can hear constant screams, piercing through the dark night sky, making people get goosebumps all over their bodies.
Yang Tian led the remaining Iron Eagle Warriors under his command to also participate in the battle, with their superior perception ability and reaction speed, they were invincible in the Tiger Prison Pass. Just a few hours later, the number of Dong Zhuo's soldiers who died at the hands of each of them was dozens of people, and this number continued to increase as time went on.
At the same time, Tai Shici and Da Niu and others were also not far behind, and led their troops to rush into the Tiger Prison Pass, they found a street, and then formed a battle formation to advance steadily, so that under the care of each other, once Dong Zhuo's army emerged, it would inevitably be attacked by the army, so the number of enemy troops who died in their hands was not a lot at all. It's just that it's dark night after all, and the legions under the command of Tai Shi Ci and Da Niu are all legions composed of eighth-order high-level special troops, but there is still a big gap between the individual strength of each one and the Iron Eagle Sharp Soldiers, and their enemies are also not weak, so the damage among them is still very large.
In the second half of the night, the Dong coalition army had already occupied most of the pass, and the top general of Dong Zhuo's army guarding the pass had already issued an order to retreat. In his opinion, he had done his best in the battle to defend the Tiger Pass, even if Dong Zhuo was to blame, then he had a clear conscience. (To be continued)
