Chapter 22: Epiphany

Actually, the reason is very simple.

Who made the family now hold the little emperor in their hands.

coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes.

But giving face doesn't mean you have to be stupid.

Therefore, almost all the princes selected a thousand old, weak, sick and disabled people from the army to be cannon fodder.

However, Dong Zhuo only turned a blind eye.

Anyway, someone just needs to test it.

It doesn't matter who it is.

Late at night.

Dong Zhuo looked at the army of 19,000 people in front of him and nodded with great satisfaction.

The thousand-man army of the remaining princes of the Eighteen Routes was put in front by him.

And his own thousands of Xiliang troops were at the end of the army.

Dong Zhuo's 1,000 people are not cannon fodder.

These thousand people are the elite he selected from the Xiliang army.

There is only one role, and that is to supervise the war.

Prevent someone from escaping.

After the princes learned of this situation, their eyes looked at Dong Zhuo with even more disgust.

They thought that Dong Zhuo's previous behavior was ruthless enough.

But I didn't expect Dong Zhuo to be even more vicious.

Doesn't this mean that the 18,000-strong team they put together will be wiped out?

"Damn Dong Zhuo!"

Among the princes, one muttered in a low voice.

was glared at by the rest of the people, and immediately closed his mouth.

After a few more glances at the eighteen thousand death squads, Dong Zhuo smiled.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you are all the elite of the various armies, specially selected for the most important duties!"

"There is not much thunder left in the capital, so tonight is the best time for us to attack the city, and it is also the time for you to make contributions!"

"Whoever kills the rebels will be crowned the Marquis of Ten Thousand Households!"

Dong Zhuo waved his hand.

Suddenly, the army of 18,000 men suddenly boiled.

It seems that he has seen his achievements and reach the pinnacle of life.

When the princes saw such a scene, they couldn't help but feel a little speechless.

Because they didn't tell the real facts to the people in front of them.

In a sense, their behavior seems to be more vicious than Dong Zhuo's.

"Kill !!"

Dong Zhuo pulled out the long sword at his waist and shouted at the sky.

Seeing this, 18,000 soldiers also shouted in unison.

In an instant, the sound of killing shook the sky.

"It seems that Dong Zhuo really wants them all to die......"

When a prince saw this, he sighed helplessly.

Throughout ancient and modern wars, the side that started the war at night was always a sneak attack.

When will an army that sneak up at night shout loudly?

Isn't this a clear way to tell the other party that I'm coming for a sneak attack?

Dong Zhuo's intention to do this is obvious.

He didn't want this group to survive at all.

Trying to consume the strength of the defenders of the capital is the value of the existence of this group of people.

So he had to tell the capital with great fanfare that I was going to start the attack.

And for this attack, Dong Zhuo also made a very detailed plan.

Disperse positional attacks.

If the capital is well stocked, then it is bound to launch the Dragon Yin Thunder to kill the army.

If the quantity is not large, then it is bound to be used as little or no as possible.

In this way, Dong Zhuo will be able to find out the details of the capital.

The rest of the people shook their heads when they saw this.

And Dong Zhuo's idea did come true.

Liu Hong was asleep.

In his ears, he faintly heard the earth-shattering shouts of killing.

Liu Hong suddenly became agitated, and he was completely sleepy.

"What's the situation!?"

He hurriedly put on his clothes, but bumped into He Jin who was hurrying over.

"Your Majesty, I was about to look for you, and the Dong thieves began to attack the city again."

"Zhang Jiao, they have already climbed the city wall to defend against the attack, and the rest is waiting for you to decide."

He Jin hurriedly said.

Liu Hong did not procrastinate when he heard this.

He immediately put on his armor and hurried to the city.

on the city walls.

Zhang Jiao took advantage of the moonlight to look at the rapidly approaching army outside the city, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

This army has clearly learned the lesson of the dragon roar and thunder not long ago.

This time their positions were extremely scattered.

Even if it's a dragon roaring thunder.

A full fight can only effectively kill and injure five or six people.

Soon Liu Hong rushed to the mouth of the city wall.

He also saw the situation outside the city gate, and he couldn't think of a good way to solve it for a while.

If you use the dragon to thunder, it will be very wasteful.

But don't worry about it, so you will expose the fact that there are not many dragons and thunders in your hands.

When the time comes, hundreds of thousands of troops will rush up.

And they are all elite soldiers.

Liu Hong did not believe that the 300,000-strong army, mainly peasants, in the capital could withstand the attack of the other party.

"Looks like I'm still looking too low on them."

Liu Hong smiled self-deprecatingly.

He suddenly found himself in a misunderstanding.

Ever since I entered this world, I have always had a sense of pride.

It seems that he is proud of his ability to master history and advanced technology.

Don't take anything else into account at all.

But even if he came from another world, how many things could he bring?

"It's not a good thing to rely on the past..."

"I really should thank Dong Zhuo, for making me understand a lot of truths."

The corners of Liu Hong's mouth hooked up a smile.

He finally understood something.

Take things as they come.

Don't rely too much on and blindly trust past experiences and understandings.

And not only themselves, but also famous figures such as He Jin and Zhang Jiao, they should also have their own opinions, rather than being subject to their own thinking.

"Your Majesty, what should we do next?"

He Jin couldn't help but think about Liu Hong's thoughts.

Hearing this, Liu Hong looked He Jin up and down, and said with a smile: "What should I do next?" ”

"He Jin, I am the emperor, not a military general like you."

"In terms of arranging troops, you and Zhang Jiao seem to be stronger than me, right?"

"Why, is my charm so great? Have you all forgotten what you are doing? ”

Liu Hong said.

When the words fell, He Jin was suddenly shocked.

Zhang Jiao on the side also seemed to have an understanding.

"Your Majesty, the last general understands!"

"Thank the emperor for his teaching!"

He Jin saluted Liu Hong, and then hurried to deal with the affairs of the army.

Zhang Jiao also immediately turned away, as if he had discovered something.

For a while, only Liu Hong and a few guards were left in the city.

Dong Zhuo's alliance side.

Seeing that the battle formation, which was advancing at an extremely slow pace, had not been attacked for a long time, Dong Zhuo suddenly became suspicious in his heart.

The speculation in my mind was faintly settled.

It seems that there are definitely not many weapons of such power in the capital.

Otherwise, they would not have been unattacked.

Of course, this does not mean that Dong Zhuo will let this army of 18,000 people come back.

The death squad must die.

So he commanded his army to charge quickly towards the walls.

However, before the army of 18,000 people rushed over, only loud noises were heard in the capital one after another.

Immediately, dazzling sparks suddenly burst into the army.

It's thunder again!

And it seems that there are quite a few of them!

Not only that, but at the same time as the thunder sounded.

The gates of the capital also quickly opened, and groups of soldiers poured out and killed them.

Seeing this, Dong Zhuo's complexion changed greatly, and he hurriedly beckoned the elite of the 1,000 Xiliang Army to retreat.
