Chapter 35: Heroic Twilight
With the defeat of Lu Bu, the coalition forces rushed up, and Dong Zhuojun, who had already been ready for battle, tightly guarded the entire city wall.
Originally, the next process was according to normal circumstances, that is, Dong Zhuo's army could defend the coalition soldiers normally, the tiger was strong, the city was strong, and the defense line was not long, even if the coalition army had 500,000, it was impossible to put all of it into the siege at one time, and forcibly attacking the city was just a tactic to add fuel.
In this case, the Tiger Prison, which has 100,000 soldiers to defend, will not be determined by a war even if it is demoralized, but will enter a relatively long stalemate.
As the city continues to be defended, both sides will gradually show the battle loss ratio of the besieging sides, in which case the morale of the defending team will gradually recover.
At that time, it is not known who will win and who will lose, so in Li Ru's view, the victory or defeat between the generals cannot play a decisive role.
Even if Lu Bu wins, it is impossible for the coalition forces to retreat, and if he loses, the tiger prison is still there, so what is there to fear?
If you can't win on the plate, can't you use off-board tricks?
However, when the siege showed its cruel nature, Dong Zhuo, who was standing next to Li Ru, looked at the soldiers of the coalition army, risked huge casualties, and after climbing the city wall one by one, he rushed towards him without fear of life and death.
was frightened on the spot, and then wanted to turn around and leave, but Li Ru hurriedly pulled it.
As the supreme commander of the Tiger Prison Pass, as long as the Tiger Prison Pass is over, the morale of the soldiers will not fall to the lower limit, and they can still continue to fight.
Relying on this kind of refueling tactics and general battles, it is impossible to win the Tiger Prison Pass, as for whether there will be fierce generals mixed in the soldiers?
There is no need to be afraid at all, the armies of both sides are close to 500,000, and the clouds generated by such a large number of troops have long been glued together, even if they are as strong as Lu Bu, they can be killed by soldiers in this situation.
The difference is that the casualties are a little larger, but as long as they can be killed by soldiers, it means that these fierce generals have no absolute threat in this situation.
Therefore, Dong Zhuo, as the supreme commander of the Tiger Prison Pass, only needs to stay on the city wall.
However, it was such a simple condition, Dong Zhuo glanced at Li Ru, who was pulling his clothes, and looked at the person he trusted the most.
Thinking about what they had seen before, the soldiers rushed up to the tower and ran straight towards them, almost trembling all over.
Dong Zhuo never thought that he had been injured by Lu Bu's will, leaving a shadow of death.
In this case, Dong Zhuo trembled, put his hand on Li Ru's hand, broke his hand away, and then turned around and walked down the tiger prison.
Seeing this, Li Ru's face changed on the spot, and he was silent, watching the familiar back gradually disappear, and his eyes kept staring at the back, as if he was not staring at a person, but a passing dream.
clenched his fists, forcibly closed his eyes, and turned his head to look outside the tiger prison.
Tiger Prison Pass, at this moment, shows what is the cruel nature of siege warfare, and the huge stones, sasswood, bows and arrows used to defend the city are constantly pouring outward.
Causing casualties to the coalition soldiers who attacked these attacks, the battle has been going on, even Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others, who are comparable to humanoid missiles, have no way to face this situation.
Under the suppression of this kind of army and clouds, even if the force is as strong as them, it is impossible to directly rush to the city wall to fight the enemy army.
Without the protection and assistance of the soldiers, even they are in danger of falling into the army.
Li Ru looked at all this, forcibly resisted the idea of calling back Xiangguo, looked at the dense figure under the gate, and kept thinking in his mind.
What's going on here? Where did your heroic Xiangguo go? It's obviously the same person, why is there such a big gap between the front and back?
The prosperous and chaotic times are obsessed with the eyes of the king, and it is difficult for Asakusa to ask the king's heart.
Li Ru was on the gate, standing silently all the time, unlike Lu Bu, if Lu Bu was standing here, there would definitely not be a single soldier around.
Because everyone believed that no one could break through his defenses, but it was different for Li Ru standing here.
The surrounding soldiers were densely packed, and spontaneously leaned around him to protect Li Ru from being harmed.
In the current world, for the vast majority of Xiliang people, being able to eat a full stomach is the greatest pursuit.
And Li Ru did this perfectly, and no one dared to withhold anything in his hands that he wanted to give to the soldiers.
It is precisely because he wants to overthrow this world where the rules are set by the family, Li Ru chose Liangzhou, which has almost no family, and chose the heroic Dong Zhuo of Xiliang, who treated every soldier sincerely and kindly.
Give them the reward they promise to have, never withhold, never reduce, and be a soldier to eat their stomachs.
is such a simple condition, but countless Xiliang people are willing to work for it.
So Li Ru is just standing here, he will definitely not be injured until the soldiers on the pass are finished, and I believe that the soldiers under his hands will definitely be able to protect him.
Dong Zhuo used to have a similar belief, but now, this belief is only Li Ru alone.
People who were once like-minded are like the twilight of the sunset, the twilight of heroes, how to sigh.
As time passed, the two sides fought a brutal siege war, and as the sky gradually darkened, both sides stopped and continued to fight.
Silently collected the army and went back, as a soldier of the Tiger Prison Pass who repelled the Kwantung coalition army, he gave a cheer of victory.
Listening to the cheers around him and looking at the appearance of the soldiers, Li Ru knew very well the elite of the soldiers under his command, so elite that even without Dong Zhuo, they would not be able to lose to the coalition forces in the Kwantung region.
"Sangkook." Li Ru sighed lightly, walked with trembling feet, and staggered towards the tiger prison step by step.
The surrounding soldiers silently moved out of the way, watching as the man they respected left the Tiger Prison shut.
It was obviously the joy after the victory, but in this case, everyone was silent, and the mood gradually fell as Li Ru walked down.
But even in this case, the soldiers of the Tiger Prison Pass still stick to their posts, silently protecting the Tiger Pass, even if the Tiger Pass is still standing here, even if the coalition forces have retreated.
The coalition forces left behind countless corpses, which looked very desolate in the light of dusk.
Li Ru returned to the government affairs processing place of the Tiger Prison Pass, saw Lu Bu, who had been defeated, and Dong Zhuo, who was incompetent and furious, and sat in his place silently.
Looking at the people in the field, except for a few generals guarding the pass, the other generals have arrived, but one of the strategists has not been there, looking at the familiar vacant seat.
Li Ru was silent, and then looked at Dong Zhuo, who was sitting in the main seat.
Prosperous and charming eyes, can you wash away the prosperity, reappear majestic, Xiangguo, can I believe you again?
