Chapter 406: Essence and Soldiers
As soon as the Qing Jun's side message of the family was issued, many local officials in the world responded in just three days!
Nanyang County Taishou Yuan Shu raised troops in response!
Chen Liujun guarded Yuan Shao and responded!
Yingchuan County Taishou Cao Cao raised troops to respond!
Dongjun Taishou Qiao Mao raised troops to respond!
Shanyang County Taishou Yuan raised troops to respond!
Beihai County Taishou Kong Rong raised troops to respond!
Guangling County Taishou Zhang Chao raised troops in response!
Changsha County Taishou Sun Jian raised troops in response!
Pingyuan County Taishou Liu Bei raised troops in response!
Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin raised troops in response!
Zhang Lu, the Heavenly Master of Hanzhong County, declared that he accepted the post of Taishou in Hanzhong and raised troops to respond!
Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian raised troops in response!
Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kong Ling raised troops in response!
Qingzhou Thorn Shi Han Fu raised troops to respond!
Youzhou Assassin Liu Yu raised troops to respond!
Yanzhou assassin Liu Dai raised troops to respond!
Jingzhou Thorn Shi Liu Biao raised troops in response!
Yizhou Assassin Liu Yan raised troops in response!
In just three days, many local officials in the world who were affected by the families raised troops to respond, and it was slightly different from the original plot of the eighteenth road princes to discuss Dong, and the new eighteenth road princes had six large state assassins involved, and four of them were the old Liu family's lineage, and it was the royal family who sent people to contact them to announce that they would raise troops to respond to the Qing monarch's side text, so that Yuan Kui and other families who did it tolerated the queen mother and the young emperor who seemed to be sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight, and played the banner of the Qing monarch's side.
However, the newly released princes of the Eighteen Roads are all in a bit of a hurry, except for Liu Yu, the assassin of Youzhou, with 5,000 Youzhou elite cavalry and 15,000 elite foot soldiers, even Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu only made up tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, of which the miscellaneous soldiers accounted for at least more than half, and the number of elites could not be compared with the soldiers and horses carried by Liu Yu.
What makes people helpless is that although the princes of the Eighteenth Route are huge, the princes of places such as Hanzhong, Yizhou, and Youzhou are of little use to the families who are eager to solve Li Yuan's threat - according to the armies in those places, it will take at least more than 100,000 troops and several months to threaten Sili and even Luoyang. And at most, two months later, the main force of the delayed Northern Expeditionary Army will gather and appear in Sili again, in that case, the plans of the family and the royal family will be completely crushed by Li Yuan directly with the strong strength under his command!
In this case, the reason why the hard-headed families still got into trouble was that they had been forced to a point where Li Yuan had to resist, and the most important thing was that the families also took out their hole cards......
……
On the eighth day after the letter was issued, it was used as the Bishui Pass that was the only way to go to Sili.
At the Bishui Pass, where the sun was rising, there were about 6,000 soldiers and three internal qi detachment generals stationed at the Bishui Pass, and I saw the large camp of several princes gathered outside the Bishui Pass.
In the large camp of more than 100,000 people (including soldiers, auxiliaries, and people), there are several big banners embroidered with "Chen Liutai Shou Yuan", "Nanyang Taishou Yuan", "Yingchuan Taishou Cao", "Jibei Xiang Bao", "Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kong" and so on, and Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Bao Xin and others are also looking at the majestic Bishui Pass with solemn faces.
"Originally, it seems that we can only desperately capture the Bishui Pass!"
Cao Cao, who was not very good-looking, stood beside Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others, looked at Bishui Pass and sighed a little.
If there is no big butterfly appearing, the current Cao Cao should still be in Luoyang City, and after witnessing the various atrocities of Dong Zhuo and his Liangzhou army, he will try to assassinate Dong Zhuo and then send a document to the princes of the Eighteen Roads to discuss Dong.
Now, Li Yuan first killed the Liangzhou Army and Dong Zhuo, and then did Lu Bu and annexed the Bingzhou Army, but on the whole, he didn't do anything like plotting to usurp the throne, and the behavior of the Youzhou Army in Luoyang and Si Li was also clear, except for those powerful and short-sighted families, other businessmen and ordinary people didn't think the Youzhou Army was terrible!
However, even the tragedy of Cao Cao, who had the idea of defecting to the Northern Army to go to the Northern Expedition to the Huns, was that the Xiahou family from whom he was born and the Cao family who succeeded him both belonged to the camp of the family and were not small. After learning about Li Yuan's thoughts, how could the families who now occupy the big cake and belong to those with vested interests obediently spit out their interests? The professional households of the Ming Dynasty in the main world, even if they died to kill the Ming Dynasty that protected them, and let the pigtail army slaughter themselves as fat pigs, although it will not be applied to those families in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but in the face of Li Yuan's step-by-step pressing, the families have not yet reached the point where they don't fight and directly raise their hands to surrender to Li Yuan.
So, with the persuasion of the family, as well as the help of Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and other friends, Cao Cao, who is now the Taishou of Yingchuan County, brought 3,000 elites and 15,000 miscellaneous soldiers to participate in this coalition on the side of the Qing monarch!
Now that they have just arrived outside the Bishui Pass, it stands to reason that Cao Cao and other princes should wait for the cooperation of other princes, and then work together to break the Bishui Pass and the Tiger Prison Pass behind, which is a relatively safe strategy with relatively small casualties, and it is much stronger than the current Cao Cao's practice of directly using human lives to pile up victory.
However, for Cao Cao, who knew that the Northern Army had won a great victory, he understood that he and the others were now in a race against time, and if he waited for another month for the princes of other places to contain the forces of Si Li, and formed a coalition to attack Bishui Pass, not to mention how many defensive offensives and reinforcements would be added to Bishui Pass, which had not yet been defended, the delay alone was enough to make the now desperate families lose hope of victory.
But in this case, according to Cao Cao's own estimates, the soldiers and horses under their command will immediately launch an uninterrupted attack, and use a large number of human lives to level the Bishui Pass!
"Hey! Mengde, you are too underestimating us!"
Listening to Cao Mengde's words, Yuan Shu, who was dressed in a brocade robe and jade belt, opened his mouth a little triumphantly, and under the gaze of Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others, he said: "Although we are in a hurry this time, there are not too many elite soldiers and horses, and the time is also in a hurry, but it does not mean that we have no way to take the Bishui Pass...... Nanhua Immortal Chief, I want to trouble you to help us conquer the Bishui Pass as soon as possible!"
"Don't dare to disobey!"
Facing Yuan Shu's words, the Nanhua Old Immortal, who suddenly appeared behind Yuan Shu, bowed his hand slightly.
……
At the same time, the atmosphere above the Bishui Pass was more relaxed.
As the first gateway of Si Li, Bishui Pass can be called one of the few male passes in the world of "Dynasty Warriors", the city wall that is hundreds of meters high is not to mention that it is enough to compare with the steel-like solidity, and its resistance to the internal qi bombardment and magic of the military array is enough to make the vast majority of Qi Chenggang-level generals or captain-level warlocks desperate.
It can be said that, in addition to the defect that the army of only 6,000 people stationed in Bishui Pass is condescending, with strong walls and a large number of defensive city defense weapons, Bishui Pass can be called a suffocating and powerful war fortress!
"Haha! Those cowards, let's wait for death!"
"That's it, these people, do you want to capture Bishui Pass? Just kidding!"
"It's a pity that it's too far away, otherwise you can try the bed crossbow ......" ......
When the defenders guarding the wall of Bishui Pass saw that only 3,000 cavalry came out of the coalition camp, and under the leadership of a general with the word "Yan", they stopped and waited about ten miles away from Bishui Pass, and even the good deeds regretted that they could not behead a few levels to make some military achievements.
As for the siege? Just kidding! If it was a foot soldier, some people might think it was a tentative siege, but it was a few thousand cavalry, and there are no examples of successful cavalry attacks on fortresses in the world of Dynasty Warriors!
Under the leadership of the other veterans who had been in battle for a long time, the atmosphere on the city wall of Bishui Pass was very relaxed, only the first two internal qi detachment generals looked at the cavalry who were already far from the effective killing radius of the city defense weapons of Bishui Pass, and frowned, as if they felt that something was wrong.
"Don't be careless! Bunnies keep a closer look at me!!"
A military general with an internal qi out of body frowned slightly and looked at the coalition cavalry camp outside Bishui Pass, but he couldn't see how dangerous those cavalry who were far away were to Bishui Pass, and finally ordered loudly out of caution.
"Know! My lord, can those cavalry still attack ......?"
Hearing the general's words, a tun chief who had a good relationship with the military general said loudly, and said a little ridiculously.
However, before the chief could finish speaking, a change suddenly happened!
Bang!!!
The violent sound like thunder directly stunned everyone on the water.
In the next second, in the continuous roaring loud noise, the sturdy Bishui Pass even began to shake slightly, making everyone's faces change greatly.
"Not good!"
"It's the Earth Dragon that has turned over!"
"Ah!!h ……
When the water was closed, the soldiers who had been relaxed became panicked, and some people even began to shout wildly.
Even those veterans who can fight on the battlefield and even sleep on the pillow of the dead without hesitation are powerless in the face of this natural disaster that is suspected of being an earthquake, and can only grasp the nearest thing and resign themselves to fate. Even on the city wall of Bishui Pass, several soldiers who had just approached the inner wall had an unstable center of gravity, and as a result, their feet slipped when they shook and fell directly.
"That, that...... What's that?!!"
The military general who had just left his body, after stabilizing his center of gravity, looked up at the outside of Bishui Pass, and was stunned by the strange situation.
I saw that outside the Bishui Pass, the slope that suddenly rose on the earth was like a giant dragon, roaring slowly from the ground and approaching the Bishui Pass. And behind the mile-long slope, those cavalrymen with the banner of "Yan" rode their horses slowly, and the internal qi on their bodies had already been hooked to form a military formation.
Of course, the cavalry of the coalition forces, who were also affected by some influences, were still waiting for the slope to approach directly to the Bishui Pass, and then directly rode their horses to rush up the Bishui Pass!
"This isn't a ground dragon rollover! It is the enemy who is going to prepare for the siege!! Prepare me for ......."
Seeing this scene, the general, who had been stunned for a few seconds, finally reacted and roared loudly at his subordinates.
It's a pity that in this chaotic situation now, even if there are more than a dozen middle- and low-level officers under the command of the military general who have been injected by nanobots, they still can't organize enough resistance in time.
"Rush !! me"
Seeing that the dirt slope had just been connected to the Bishui Pass, Yan Liang, who led the cavalry, roared without hesitation, and the three thousand cavalry who formed the army formation stepped on the dirt slope that still had a trace of fluctuation at a crazy speed, and rushed towards the Bishui Pass.
At this time, because I saw only a few thousand cavalry out of the camp, I thought that the other party was at most scouting and did not enter the state of alert, it was precisely because of the suspected earthquake just now that it was actually the chaos of the Nanhua old immortal who made a move to create the dirt slope, not to mention that the whole army was on alert and did a good job in defensive warfare, even if there were only 100 soldiers on the city wall, there were only hundreds of people who could still stick to their posts, and as for the heavy defensive weapons that needed to be prepared in advance, they were not launched!
As a result, under the protection of the crimson internal qi formed by the military formation of Commander Yan Liang, only a dozen bed crossbows close to the soil slope barely fired a round, and with the hurriedly assembled soldiers, it only caused less than 100 casualties in Yan Liang's army formation, and then rushed directly to the edge of the city wall of Bishui Pass.
"Give me death, ahhh——————h
When the water was closed, the military general who was separated from his body saw this scene, and desperately hooked up the internal qi emitted by the guards and officers who gathered less than two hundred people around him, and formed a military formation to rush to the front of the coalition cavalry and stabbed it out.
"Tear ——————"
"Bang !!" ……
Facing the opponent's desperate attack, Yan Liang's face was indifferent and he slashed the head of the more than ten meters of half-void and half-substantial internal qi spear composed of internal qi.
After slashing through the opponent's desperate counterattack, Yan Liang, who had already stepped into the Qi Cultivation Gang rank, had a burst of crimson light on his body like armor, and an extremely dazzling essence red light appeared on the knife in his hand, and then aimed at the internal qi detached martial general and his military formation!
A top martial artist who has practiced qi to become a gang!
The military formation of 3,000 elite cavalry is blessed!
After the two were united, Yan Liang's blow was like a volcano erupting on the Bianshui Pass, and the furious crimson sword qi was like a huge angry dragon, instantly engulfing the military general and the army formation of more than two hundred people in endless flames.
"Hoo ——————"
"Zla ——————"
"Bang dang~!!" ……
When the terrifying flame furious dragon disappeared, there was no one in front of Yan Liang, and the walls of Bishui Pass, which was originally strong and had added resistance to internal qi and spells, had already shown traces of melting, and those soldiers and the general who had detached from the internal qi broke the shield with a single blow and was turned into flying ashes by the furious internal qi.
Even on the melted ground, the weapons and armor used by the soldiers had turned into molten steel from the steelmaking furnaces, and the only metal weapon left had turned into a mass of scrap metal, smashing on the ground with a crunching sound.
"Kill!"
"Qingjun side! Kill Li Zisheng!"
"The water barrier has been broken! Those who descend will not be killed!" ……
At this moment, dozens of soldiers and low-ranking officers such as the army commander and the chief suddenly turned against the water, shouting slogans and creating chaos around them.
The chess pieces arranged by the family are against the water!
As a family that can even continue to the Western Han Dynasty or even longer, its heritage is not only shown in the accumulation of knowledge, force, etc., but also its connections and chess pieces can even penetrate into the Luoyang Palace.
Of course, if it were an ordinary situation, among the 6,000 defenders of Bishui Pass, dozens of soldiers and low-ranking officers such as the chief and the chief would be completely killed against the water, and they would be exterminated in minutes and their heads would be cut off as warning billboards.
But the problem is that now it's not just the weird noise just now, the entire Bishui Pass is in a state of panic, and the cavalry led by Yan Liang has broken through the impregnable city wall of Bishui Pass...... In this way, when dozens of soldiers and low-level officers turned against the water, it was like a heavy weight on the balance of victory, which directly made most of the soldiers in Bishui Pass fall into a panic and dazed situation!
In this situation, the defenders of Bishui Pass, who only had 6,000 people, except for two generals who had left their bodies and successfully evacuated Bishui Pass with less than 1,000 people, the rest of the defenders surrendered to the princes' coalition army except for nearly 500 casualties!
The coalition army of the family hurriedly raised troops under the pretext of "Qingjun's side" before they were fully prepared, not only with the help of the response of the princes of the eighteen roads in the world, but also won the first place in front of Bishui Pass, making their soldiers look quite sharp......
……
At the same time that the Bishui Pass was broken, on a road more than 20 kilometers away from Luoyang City, in a marching camp composed of more than 50,000 cavalry and foot soldiers, Li Yuan, who was riding on a red war horse, received relevant information.
"Yo?! Actually won the Bishui Pass? Very good......"
Looking at the situation on the virtual light screen that popped up in front of him, and even the scene where the Bishui Pass was breached, which was almost like being at the scene, Li Yuan gently patted the red rabbit horse, which was not very tame, and then saw the nearly one-kilometer-long dirt slope rising, his face became a little solemn, and his fingers flicked slightly, "Huh? This spell ...... Interesting, Nanhua Old Immortal? Zuo Ci? And Yu Ji, the three immortals of the late Han Dynasty have all been gathered?! It's not easy!"
In Li Yuan's words, there was a hint of excitement!
It is true that the three immortals who were nicknamed the "Three Immortals of the Late Han Dynasty" also jumped out, and the strength of the three immortals is definitely not to be underestimated (for example, Nanhua Old Immortals, according to Li Yuan's intelligence, his disciple Zhang Jiao and others have made the Han Dynasty army suffer a lot, and its strength level is estimated to be no lower than the peak of the captain), but for Li Yuan, who has now broken through to the captaincy stage, it is the opponent he wants to find.
"Hehe, she and the others stayed in Luoyang, let me see how many strong people there are in the three immortals of the late Han Dynasty and the alliance of the princes this time......"
After reading the information in his hand, Li Yuan's face became very happy and expectant. (To be continued.) )
