Chapter 427 First Battle of Flesh and Blood
By the way, Dong Zhuo has never attacked Yuan. Even if Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were rushing troops, Dong Zhuo was tired of Yuan Wei. In addition to Yuan Feng, he still tried to use the excuse of the Yuan family's old man disintegrating the coalition forces.
Once it was nourished, the Yuan family's foundation in the Eastern Han Dynasty should not be underestimated. This foundation is not just about wealth accumulation. There were too many families in the Eastern Han Dynasty who served the Yuan family.
It is nonsense to say that these families have any loyalty to the Yuan family. But long-term efforts and interests have been bound, and they also need to use the Yuan family to seek benefits. If the Yuan family is destroyed, the efforts of these families over the years will be no different.
It is precisely because of this that even if Yuan Wei, Yuan Feng and other elders of the Yuan family were unable to escape from Luoyang, even if they were by Dong Zhuo's side, they were still somewhat stubborn and fearless.
Dong Zhuo's killing spirit has become. He was probably the first warlord of the princes to adapt to the atmosphere of troubled times. He no longer took the Yuan family's support seriously. He originally thought that Yuan Wei and others were of some value, but Dong Zhuo still despised the thickness of the aristocratic family's face.
The coalition forces are close to Hulao. Even if Yuan Wei or Yuan Feng block the city, you will attack you and I will say mine. It seems that there will be no impact on the coalition forces at all. Instead, it will inspire the coalition forces to a certain extent.
Seeing that the coalition forces had obtained a large number of siege equipment and became more cautious in the attack, Dong Zhuo was so upset that he slaughtered the Yuan family directly, and wanted to see if Yuan Shao, the leader of the coalition forces, had to play any other strategy.
Large-scale battles like Hulao are unusual. Not to mention the coalition forces, it is difficult to count players in the Eastern Han area alone.
When the proclamation against Dong was issued, players could already choose a camp between the Xiliang army and the princes. At this scale, when the two sides set up formations of Hulao, the competition of hard power is inevitable, and the role of basic strategy is far greater than that of strategy.
The coalition forces of the Dong army have accumulated more than 10 million elite soldiers and countless cannon fodders. At least 60% of the players in the Eastern Han Dynasty gathered in the camps of both sides of this battle.
Even if Dong Zhuo has confidence in the Xiliang Army, he will try his best to use the strong pass to consume more of the coalition forces.
With the development of time, the player's power has initially gained some combat power, and the attitude of both sides towards the players is no longer as casual as before.
The two sides gathered many players who were willing to obey the control, and more players were driven out of the military camps and villages of both sides. Under the dispatch of some large player forces, they were attracted by military achievements. In the mountains and rivers around Hulao Pass, the battle between players had already been in full swing.
As the head of the Yuan clan was hung on the Hulao Pass, Dong Zhuo practiced the world and declared the Yuan clan's rebellious move.
Dong Zhuo really didn't want to highlight his power in this regard. It was completely Liu Bian's case for Yuan's affairs. Although he apologized for Dong Zhuo's actions, he refused to intervene in solving Yuan's solution.
Liu Bian's approach is also wise, but Dong Zhuo cannot be wise with Liu Bian. One is unwilling to give up his current power and status, and the other is that Dong Zhuo also acknowledged the "tactic understanding" relationship between the royal family that he had to pay if he wanted to obtain.
'If you want to be the prime minister, I will let you do it, but the matter of wiping your butt and taking the blame is the job of a powerful minister.'
While Liu Bian gradually developed royal thinking, this attitude towards things also laid some haze in Dong Zhuo's heart.
In the Yuan clan, Dong Zhuo finally showed his attitude as a domineering demon king in front of scholars. When Liu Bian was vague, Dong Zhuo laid infinite hidden dangers for himself, and also made the disputes at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty even more complicated.
"Boom~!"
"Boom~!"
The flint exploded on the ground, in the sky, on and under the Hulao Pass, and countless torches broke through the sky, making the sky here covered with fireworks.
Calibration call signs from players were constantly coming from thousands of dragon cannons on the Hulao Pass city wall. These players manipulated the dragon cannons to find the location where the torch stone was thrown by the coalition bunker and attacked them.
"Boom~!"
A dragon-headed bomb hit the foot of a city wall at Hulao Pass, and the bomb formed a sea of fire and burned on a stone wall for a moment.
The coalition also has dragon cannons, probably privately held by some aristocratic families, but the number is too small, so they are very cautious when using it.
"In the northeast, the landing point is about 12,000 meters northeast, gather fire and cover!" The excited shouts of players came from the city wall. As the player shouted, several dragon cannons around began to adjust the angle of the cannon stand.
"Ah~!" The player's screams made the dragon cannon operators around him stop their movements. The torch stone throwing behind him still broke through the air without interruption. The player who called for the dragon cannon to cover the attack was killed on the spot by a Xiliang Army Supervisor.
"Look for the enemy's torch stone throwing mechanism, prohibit the dragon cannon from covering the attack, fight with all your heart, and those who are in chaos will be killed!" The Xiliang Army superviser waved the sword in his hand and scolded him sternly.
With the reprimanding of the military, the players around him who controlled the dragon cannon were temporarily silent and adjusted the angle of the dragon cannon again to find the location where the torch stones were thrown in the coalition.
The Xiliang Army also knew that the coalition's dragon cannons were rare, and the threat brought by the coalition's dragon cannon attack was far less than that of a large number of torch stones. The number of dragon-headed bombs was limited, so it would be fine if the torch stones were freely attacked. The Xiliang Army would definitely not allow dragon cannons to cover such a luxurious thing.
The brief silence and depression did not last long. After a moment, due to the acquisition of a lot of experience, these players who controlled the dragon cannon once again had an excited expression on their faces.
The control of the dragon cannon is not complicated, it is even simpler than the torch stone throwing mechanism. However, because there are too many war equipment at Hulao Pass, Dong Zhuo arranged for the players under his command to control these equipment.
The coalition forces are constantly changing the orientation of newly invested equipment, involving calibration adjustments, and players are obviously more flexible in controlling these equipment than system soldiers. As for the soldiers and generals in the Xiliang army, they are always preparing for war.
The control of war equipment is very popular among players, because these war equipment can also bring them experience to the enemy's casualties.
This combat method of squatting in a relatively safe place to shoot cannons and throwing continuously makes the player who is controlled feel like he is a bug-opening.
There is no experience in destroying war equipment, but the players on Dong Zhuo's side did gain a lot of experience income, because on the battlefield below, countless war soldiers have already launched a rush to fight.
Uncountable system soldiers fought and shouted in the battlefield under Hulao Pass. These system soldiers were all medium and low-level system soldiers carried by players in both camps.
As a battle of Hulao Pass, which occupies a significant position in the minds of players, it attracted more than half of the warlike players in the entire Eastern Han Dynasty to join.
Tens of millions of players on both sides, most of them carry their own warriors. When these players gathered, the earth under Hulao Pass seemed to be completely dyed red by blood. Even if the blood would dissipate with the system soldiers, the blood that continued to add, the red color of the earth was still difficult to change.
Whether it is Hulao Pass or the Allied Army barracks, they cannot hoard the system war soldiers brought by players. Moreover, many players' war soldiers are not yet elite.
With Yuan Shao officially issuing the order to attack Hulao Pass, the early battlefield protagonists were the miscellaneous soldiers who were not even considered cannon fodder.
The two sides had interactions with each other. The Hulao soldiers who rushed to the coalition camp were wiped out by the elite soldiers who prepared for war. They rushed to the gate of Hulao Pass. The coalition soldiers who tried to ants to eat the city gate were killed by the Xiliang Jingqi.
Hulao Pass has an advantage in long-range attacks, but after fighting for several days, the suspension bridge chains of Hulao Pass have been destroyed. Because multiple directions of the moat have been filled, the suspension bridge itself does not seem to have much significance.
Behind this kind of battle results, it is conceivable how many war soldiers will dissipate on the battlefield.
The players who fought in chaos in the surrounding areas of Hulao Pass also began to gather at Hulao Pass. The vast land in front of Hulao Pass became a meat grinder like a meat grinder, with blood and blood for a long time.
Both sides were consuming each other's vitality in a frantically, just like endless warriors constantly entering the battlefield. The drops of equipment, money, military talismans and other things on the battlefield also made some players excited.
As players enter the battle with different mentalities, the intensity of the war has been further increased.
