At the end of the Han Dynasty, there were no Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty

"It really dominates the world, no one can stop it! Fengxian's bravery, plus Zhang Liao and Zhang Xiu, are no match for you. Are you, Liu Yu, a human or a ghost?!"

At this time, Li Ru stepped forward and said to Dong Zhuo anxiously.

"Ming Gong, Ming Jin withdraws troops, otherwise..."

Before Li Ru could finish speaking, the coalition forces on the opposite side suddenly shouted and rushed towards the Xiliang cavalry under Hulaoguan City.

"Not good! Now that Feng Xian is newly defeated, we can no longer fight! The morale of our army has plummeted, while the morale of the coalition army has risen. With Liu Yu and General Zhenbei still here, we will definitely lose this battle! Call for gold!"

Li Ru's face changed drastically, and he shouted at the soldiers beside him.

"Ding... Ding"

The sound of ringing gold suddenly sounded, but in the camp of the Kwantung Allied Forces on the opposite side, the sound of war drums was loud.

Yuan Shao stood on the high platform, excited and somewhat disappointed.

Excitedly, Liu Yu defeated Lu Bu and captured an enemy general. Disappointed, Liu Yu was not killed by the three Xiliang generals.

Disappointment is disappointment, Yuan Shao can't waste this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so he waved his hand and ordered the whole army to attack Hulao Pass!

Immediately, the shouts of killing shook the sky, gathered into a sound wave, and spread towards Hulao Pass.

Nearly [-] Xiliang cavalry in front of Hulao Pass were desperately pushing towards the city.

The city gate, which was originally very wide, seemed so narrow at this time.

A moment later, the Kwantung Allied Forces had arrived behind the Xiliang cavalry, and started fighting with the Xiliang cavalry who had not yet entered Hulao Pass.

It was the generals under the command of the princes who took the lead. At this time, they were roaring with all their strength, directing the soldiers under their command to attack.

After a period of fighting, the Xiliang cavalry lost a lot, and before Hulao Pass, most of Xiliang's cavalry had entered, and there were still more than 2 cavalry trapped in front of Hulao Pass.

Seeing this, Li Ru closed his eyes and sighed. He knew that the [-] cavalrymen in the city could not be rescued.

"Beat the drums and close the city gates!"

Dong Zhuo was taken aback when he heard the words, and then realized that if he continued to let the cavalry enter the pass, then the coalition forces would most likely be taken advantage of, and the consequences would definitely not be what he wanted to see.

This group of cavalry is dead, as long as they are safe and sound, then their death is worth it!

The cavalry, who were still desperately squeezing in, suddenly heard the sound of war drums on the city, which was a signal to attack.

Could it be that Mr. Xiangguo, seeing himself and others trapped outside the city, planned to fight back?

The cavalrymen from Xiliang were filled with excitement. Their Lord Xiangguo did not give up on himself!

Therefore, the [-] Xiliang cavalry did not rush towards Hulao Pass, but turned their horses around and headed towards the enemy.

When the cavalry is besieged, the horses will lose the energy to charge, and the cavalry will no longer be scary.

Although the [-] Xiliang cavalry slapped the horses with all their strength, the effect was still mediocre.

After only running a few steps, the infantry stabbed the horse to death with long spears, and the cavalry on the horse naturally did not end well.

Most of the cavalry in Xiliang were composed of Qiang people. They kept their promises and believed in Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu.

They followed Dong Zhuo all the time, and they believed that Dong Zhuo would not abandon them.

However, more than half of the [-] Xiliang cavalry had been killed or injured at this time, yet their Xiangguo reinforcements had not yet arrived.

They turned their heads slowly and looked at the gate of Hulaoguan, but they saw that the gate of Hulaoguan was tightly closed, with no intention of opening it.

At this time, they knew that they and others were indeed abandoned!

They also ignored the enemy in front of them, turned their heads to look at Dong Zhuo above Hulao Pass, and roared unwillingly!

And Dong Zhuo, as if he didn't hear the roar of his cavalry, remained expressionless, watching his cavalry, swallowed by the overwhelming Kwantung Allied Forces!

Soon, the entire army of [-] Xiliang cavalry was wiped out, and none of them could stand up.

The coalition forces, on the other hand, didn't seem to intend to stop, but chose to continue attacking the city.

Li Ru hurriedly organized troops and horses, preparing for the next offensive.

The death of those [-] cavalry made Li Ru very sad. If he had directly chosen to attack with the whole army, the casualties would have been even more severe, and even the Hulao Pass would not be safe.

He originally thought, let Lu Bu and others behead a few enemy generals, and then with the momentum of a big victory, attack the coalition forces of the princes in one go.

Unexpectedly, Liu Yu surrendered his identity and went directly to the first battle, which disrupted his plan.

If they don't fight, and stick to Hulao Pass, after a month, and wait for the allied forces of the princes to run out of food and grass, then they can naturally win without fighting.

However, what worries Li Ru is Jiguan. If the defenders of Jiguan break through Li Jue and Guo Si, they will come to Luoyang, and they will be attacked by the enemy!

Li Ru didn't dare to gamble, he couldn't afford to gamble!If he loses, not only himself will die, but everyone in the Xiliang Army will die!

Chapter 270 Dong Zhuo Wants to Retire

"Ah! The tiger prison can no longer be guarded for long!"

Li Ru sighed as he watched the densely packed Kwantung Allied Forces, who were carrying high siege ladders, approaching Hulao Pass one after another.

At this time, Yuan Shao and other princes had also mounted their horses, came to the formation, and commanded the soldiers to attack the city.

Liu Yu defeated Lu Bu, the god of war in Xiliang. At this time, the soldiers of the coalition army were in full swing, and they rushed towards Hulao Pass bravely one by one.

And the defenders above Hulao Pass also exhausted their means, throwing down hot oil and rolling stones in one go.

The soldiers of the coalition army who shut down the siege suddenly heard screams. Some of them were killed on the spot when their heads were smashed by stones, and some were scalded by hot oil and were rolling and crying on the ground.

The coalition soldiers standing on both sides of the pass fought back with bows and arrows, and the defenders who were shot to death were tragically thrown down as stones.

This is the cruelty of war, especially the siege battle, which is more bloody and cruel than the two armies facing each other.

And Liu Yu, who was watching the battle from a distance, couldn't help closing his eyes when he saw this scene. It was because he was a woman who couldn't bear the cruelty of war.

These dead and wounded soldiers were all big men, but for a bite of food, they were willing to act as pawns of the superiors to attack Dong Zhuo, who was somewhat illusory to them.

This is the price of a good life. No matter what era, ancient or modern, people's happy life is only obtained after going through the baptism of cruel war.

It was the ancestors who supported it with their blood and tears and their not-so-broad shoulders!

This tragic siege battle lasted for a whole day. When the sky was getting dark, this siege battle was declared over when the Kwantung Allied Forces retreated on their own initiative.

The majestic Hulao Pass still stands upright, and the banner that is closed still reads Dong!

At this time, in Hulao Pass, Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu, Fan Chou and others were sitting in the hall of an unknown mansion with sad faces.

And there was a person standing in the center of the hall, it was Li Ru, who had just reported the battle damage to Dong Zhuo.

This time the allied forces of the princes attacked the city, and they killed more than 2 defenders. Originally, 18 troops were sent out, 20 at Jiguan and [-] at Tiger Prison, and the [-] cavalry left behind in Luoyang, a total of [-] troops.

Coupled with the small groups of reinforcements from Xiliang, Dong Zhuo's army totaled 25!

After successive losses in the past few days, the army has less than 20 left, including the [-] cavalry of Li Jue and Guo Si, and the [-] defenders staying in Luoyang.

Dong Zhuo frowned even more when he heard Li Ru's report. More than 2 defenders died in battle, and at least 5 of the princes' coalition forces were replaced!

But there are so many soldiers in the coalition of princes!Tens of thousands of deaths are far more than the defenders at Hulao Pass, and there is an unstable Ji Pass.

Seeing that Dong Zhuo was still hesitating, Li Ru couldn't help persuading him again.

"Minggong, the tiger prison is no longer defendable. If it is broken, it will be broken, and it will be chaotic! If Liu Yu secretly deploys an army at Jiguan, with Li Jue and Guo Si, it will be difficult to resist, and then the enemy will be defeated. , I will be trapped to death in Hulao Pass!"

"Hey! It's all that damned Liu Yu! If there is no worry about Jiguan, why should I, Dong Zhuo, be afraid of the Kwantung coalition forces?!"

Dong Zhuo said bitterly, then sighed again, and said to Li Ru in a helpless tone.

"Today's plan, this is the only way to go. Let's do everything according to what Wen You said, but! The wealth in Luoyang, the truth will not be left to those hypocritical princes! And the wealth in the imperial tomb, the truth is I have been hungry for a long time!"

Hearing this, Li Ru nodded with a grim expression, then turned around and went down to order the retreat.

On the other side, Lu Bu was standing beside Dong Zhuo, his head was lowered so he couldn't see his expression clearly.

But if you look carefully, you can see that the corners of Lu Bu's mouth are slightly raised, revealing an indescribable smile.

The pitch-black tiger prison was closed, with only a little torch emitting a faint light.

There are quite a few guarding soldiers responsible for patrolling and guarding the city, more than a hundred of them.

They were not squinting, and their eyes were fixed on the coalition army camp opposite, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

At this time, there was a sudden rush of footsteps from inside the pass, and they ran up the pass with a "thump, thud, thump". Hearing the dense footsteps, there were at least a hundred people coming.

But the soldiers defending the city didn't feel surprised when they heard the footsteps. Instead, they felt happy. They seemed to have known that someone would come up.

"Changing the guard and guarding the sentry, you wait to rest and leave the guarding to me!"

"Hahaha! Alright, then I'll go down later!"

"Huh...! I can finally rest, grandma's bear, I'm exhausted!"

"You're still tired. I haven't had a bite of food since morning!"

……

It turned out that the soldiers in charge of the garrison had changed their guards, and the soldiers who had been guarding the city ran down the pass happily one by one.

The soldiers who had just come up to change the guard stood upright on the Hulao Pass.

At this time, a soldier guarding the city in the shadows suddenly stretched out his hand to his bosom, quickly took out a letter, and then held it in his hand.

He secretly looked at the other soldiers out of the corner of his eye, but found that no one noticed him.

Then the soldier pretended not to care, and gently threw the crumpled letter down the Hulao Pass.

When the Hulao was closed, it was pitch black, and the crumpled letter fell without a single sound.

Suddenly, in the dark, it seemed that a figure flashed past, and then disappeared.

Fortunately, no one saw this scene, otherwise I thought I had seen a ghost.

……

Liu Yu, who was in the camp of the coalition army, was holding the letter in his hand at this time. After reading it carefully, he handed the letter to Xun You who was beside him.

After reading the letter, Xun You put the letter aside, and said to Liu Yu with a smile on his face.

"My lord, Dong Zhuo really planned to retreat westward, and it was tonight, but this Dong Zhuo actually planned to burn Luoyang to the ground! He still has to pay attention to the imperial mausoleum, so he won't be able to succeed!"

Liu Yu nodded when he heard the words, frowned again, and asked Xun You: "I don't know if Gongda has a good plan to stop Dong Zhuo from doing this?"

Luoyang must not be harmed by Fatty Dong, because there are countless ancient books and cultural inheritance there, no matter what, Dong Zhuo must not be set on fire!

Hearing this, Xun You frowned and pondered for a moment. Suddenly, Xun You's eyes lit up and he said to Liu Yu.

"My lord, Dong Zhuo must have thought that we have suffered heavy losses in attacking the city today, and they will not attack the city again in the next few days. That's why they decided to evacuate tonight. Why don't we put some pressure on them and let them take the guards at Jiguan?" Bring some troops over."

Having said that, Xun You stroked his beard with a smile, looked at Liu Yu whose expression was a little dazed, and continued to speak.

"When the Xiliang army at Jiguan is empty, I will stop attacking the city and give Dong Zhuo time to evacuate. After Dong Zhuo has evacuated from Hulao Pass, order Yang Ji at Jiguan to lead the army to destroy Dong Zhuo's remaining defenders in one battle. "

Liu Yu's eyes became brighter and brighter. He subdued Yang Ji and ordered him to stay at Jiguan. It was a dark move, thinking that it might be of great use in the future.

Even if you don't need this dark move, it can still deter Luoyang, and it will be more convenient for you to go back and forth to Sili Hedong in the future.

Hearing what Xun You said now, he knows that he really made the right move in this dark move!

Seeing Liu Yu nodding his head repeatedly, Xun You said again: "When Yang Ji's troops are dispatched to Luoyang, Dong Zhuo will be afraid of the encirclement of the two forces and flee Luoyang in a panic. How dare he stay?!"

Chapter 271 Xun You's Plan

"Okay! Gongda is worthy of being a think tank under the king's command, and everything will be done according to Gongda's plan!"

Liu Yu said something happily, and then began to prepare.

Liu Yu first wrote a letter, and ordered people to detour around day and night to Jiguan, and ordered people to call the princes from all walks of life to discuss the military situation.

The princes from all walks of life heard that it was called by the prince, and there was an urgent military discussion. The princes did not dare to neglect, so they got up and dressed quickly, and came to Liu Yu's military tent.

After all the princes had arrived, Liu Yu ordered people to beat the drums.

This wave of operations by Liu Yu directly deceived everyone, and they all looked at Liu Yu in doubt, waiting for Liu Yu to clarify their doubts.

So Liu Yu made up an excuse, saying that Dong Zhuojun's soldiers must be exhausted after a day's battle, and they were already sleeping soundly at this time.

Frequent beating of war drums will definitely disturb their morale and make them tired of coping.

The coalition soldiers rested in batches, beat drums in turn, and took turns attacking the city during the day. In this way, within a few days, Dong Zhuo's army was exhausted.

At that time, the coalition forces will attack Hulao in one go, and it will be decided in one battle!

When the princes heard the words, their eyes lit up, and even Yuan Shao agreed with him.
