Chapter 76 Heroes Twilight
With Lu Bu's defeat, the coalition forces swarmed forward. Dong Zhuo's army, which had been waiting for a fight, tightly guarded the entire city wall.

Normally, the next process would be for Dong Zhuo's army to defend the coalition soldiers normally. Hulao Pass, the city is strong, and the defense line is not long. Even if the coalition has 50 soldiers, it is impossible to devote all of them to siege the city at once. , forcibly attacking the city is just a tactic to add fuel to the fire.

Under this circumstance, Hulao Pass, which is defended by [-] soldiers, cannot be defeated in one battle even if its morale is low. Instead, it will enter a stalemate for a relatively long time.

As the defense time continues, both sides will gradually show the battle loss ratio of the two sides attacking the city. In that case, the morale of the defender will be gradually restored.

It is unknown who will win and who will lose at that time, so in Li Ru's view, the victory or defeat between generals cannot play a decisive role.

Even if Lu Bu wins the battle, it is impossible for the coalition forces to retreat. If the battle is lost, the Hulao is still there, so what is there to fear?
If you can't win inside the plate, can't you still use tricks outside the plate?

However, when the siege battle showed its cruel nature, Dong Zhuo, standing next to Li Ru, watched the coalition soldiers, risking huge casualties, climb the city wall one by one, and rush towards him without fear of life or death.

He trembled with fright on the spot, and then wanted to turn around and leave, but Li Ru quickly stopped him.

As the supreme commander of Hulao Pass, as long as the soldiers are at Hulao Pass, the morale of the soldiers cannot fall below the lower limit and they can still continue to fight.

It is impossible to win Hulao Pass with this kind of battle that is just like fueling tactics. As for whether there are strong generals mixed among the soldiers?
There is no need to be afraid. The armies of both sides are close to 50. The clouds generated by such a large number of armies have long been glued together. Even as strong as Lu Bu, the soldiers can be killed in this situation.

The difference is that the casualties are a bit larger, but as long as they can be killed by soldiers, it means that these fierce generals no longer pose an absolute threat in this situation.

Therefore, as the supreme commander of Hulao Pass, Dong Zhuo only needs to stay on the city wall.

However, it was such a simple condition. Dong Zhuo glanced at Li Ru, who was holding his clothes, and looked at the person he trusted the most.

After thinking about what he had seen before, the soldiers rushed up to the tower and ran directly towards him, almost trembling all over.

Dong Zhuo never thought that he had been injured by Lu Bu's will, leaving behind the shadow of death.

Under this situation, Dong Zhuo tremblingly put his hand on Li Ru's, opened his hand, and then turned around and walked down Hulao Pass.

Seeing this, Li Ru's expression changed on the spot, and he remained silent, watching the familiar figure gradually go away. He kept staring at that figure with his eyes open, as if he was not staring at a person, but a lost dream.

With clenched fists, he forcibly closed his eyes, turned his head and looked outside Hulao Pass.

Hulao Pass, at this moment, demonstrated the cruel nature of siege warfare. The huge rocks, wood, bows and arrows used to defend the city were constantly pouring out.

The attacking coalition soldiers suffered casualties and the battle continued. Even Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others who were comparable to humanoid missiles had no way to deal with this situation.

Under the suppression of such a large army, even if the force is as strong as theirs, it is impossible to rush directly to the city wall to fight with the enemy.

Without the protection and assistance of soldiers, even they are in danger of falling into the army.

Li Ru looked at all this and resisted the idea of ​​calling the Prime Minister back. He looked at the dense crowd of people in Guanxia and kept thinking in his mind.

What happened in the middle?Where has my heroic prime minister gone?It's obviously the same person, why is there such a big gap between before and after?

The prosperous and troubled times confuse the king's eyes, and it is difficult to understand the king's heart through shallow grass.Li Ru just closed the door and stood silently. Unlike Lu Bu, if Lu Bu was standing here, there would be absolutely no soldiers around him.

Because everyone believed that no one could break through his defense, but it was different when Li Ru stood here.

The soldiers around him were densely packed, and they spontaneously leaned around him to protect Li Ru from being harmed.

In today's world, for most people in Xiliang, having a full stomach is their biggest pursuit.

And Li Ru did this perfectly. No one ever dared to deduct anything he wanted to give to the soldiers.

Precisely because he wanted to overthrow this world where aristocratic families set the rules, Li Ru chose Liangzhou, where there were almost no aristocratic families, and chose the heroic Dong Zhuo from Xiliang, who treated every soldier sincerely.

Give them the rewards they promised to have, never withhold or reduce them, and work hard as soldiers to keep their stomachs full.

It is such a simple condition, but countless Xiliang people are willing to work hard for it.

So Li Ru just stood here. He would never be injured until all the soldiers behind him were dead. He believed that the soldiers below him could definitely protect him.

Dong Zhuo once had a similar belief, but now, only Li Ru has this belief.

People who were once like-minded are like the setting sun at dusk. Why do you sigh when a hero lags behind?

As time passed, the brutal siege war between the two sides began. As the sky gradually darkened, both sides stopped and continued to fight.

Silently withdrawing the troops back, as the soldiers of Hulao Pass who had repelled the Kwantung Allied Forces, they cheered in victory.

Listening to the cheers around him and looking at the soldiers, Li Ru knew very well that the soldiers under his command were elite. They were so elite that even without Dong Zhuo, they would not have been defeated by the Kwantung coalition forces.

"Prime Minister." Li Ru sighed softly, and walked towards the Hulao Pass unsteadily step by step on trembling feet.

The surrounding soldiers silently moved out of the way and watched the man they respected leave the Hulao Gate.

It was obviously the joy after victory, but in this situation, everyone remained silent, and their mood gradually became lower as Li Ru walked down.

But even in this case, the soldiers of Hulao Pass still stick to their posts and silently protect Hulao Pass, even if Hulao Pass still stands here, even if the coalition forces have retreated.

The coalition forces left behind countless corpses, which looked very desolate in the dusk.

Li Ru returned to the place where government affairs were handled at Hulao Pass and saw the defeated Lu Bu. The incompetent and furious Dong Zhuo sat silently in his seat.

Looking at the people in the field, except for the few generals guarding the gate, all the other generals have arrived. However, one of the counselors has not been there, looking at the familiar empty seat.

Li Ru was silent, and then looked at Dong Zhuo, who was sitting in the main seat.

Can the prosperous and charming eyes wash away the prosperity and restore the majesty? Prime Minister, can I trust you again?
