The Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms: The Evil God Arrives

Chapter 24

Following Lu Bu's defeat, he broke out of the encirclement of the trio and fled back to Hulao Pass. With Liu Bei taking the lead in charging, the coalition forces quickly launched an attack on Hulao.

If there were no mistakes, it would be impossible for the coalition forces to break through Hulao Pass in a short time.

Hulao Pass is not an ordinary city gate, but a large defensive building with strong walls, ample supplies, and a short defense line. With one hundred thousand defenders, it is enough to defend Hulao Pass.

Even if the coalition forces had nearly 50 troops, they would not be able to devote themselves to the siege at once, because the field was so large that they could not be deployed.

Even though the morale of the Hulao garrison was low because of Lu Bu's defeat, if Dong Zhuo and Li Ru were both here, how low could the morale be?

With the defenders struggling to defend, it was impossible for the coalition forces to capture Hulao in a short time and enter a long stalemate.

As time went by, the quality of the soldiers of the coalition army was not as good as that of Dong Zhuo's soldiers.

Coupled with the experience gap between the two sides, the battle loss ratio between the two armies will increase over time, and the morale of the Hulao defenders will also rebound.

As for the fierce generals who were mixed among the soldiers, in Li Ru's opinion, weren't they just here to give him away?

The clouds generated by the nearly 60 troops on both sides have long been combined, which can directly suppress the strength of the fierce generals to a certain extent. Even those as strong as Lu Bu will have to suffer under the encirclement and suppression of the soldiers.

Therefore, in Li Ru's view, even if Lu Bu loses, it doesn't matter. As long as he is a human being, he will be defeated one day.

Therefore, he never pins the victory of war on the personal force of generals, but likes to rely on the war group created by his own abilities.

War is never a battle of individuals, but a war of countless individuals united with each other.

The Xiliang Army was a war group created by Li Ru to tear apart the rules customized by the family.

As long as the top military commander of Hulao Pass still stands within sight of the soldiers, no matter how much morale drops, it will never fall below the lower limit and he can still stand tenaciously at his combat post.

Unfortunately, the mistake is that now Dong Zhuo no longer has the courage to stand here and let the soldiers see him.

Dong Zhuo didn't understand why as long as one of the coalition soldiers rushed to the city wall, he would definitely rush towards him, as if he was determined to kill him.

Seeing the ferocious faces of the coalition soldiers rushing towards him, Dong Zhuo pushed away Li Ru who was holding him with a pale face, and went down to Hulao Pass without looking back, leaving Li Ru, who had a solemn look on his face, to fall to the ground.

But Li Ru did not lie on the ground and think about why Dong Zhuo became like this, but stood up quickly, because the soldiers in Xiliang still needed him to stand here.

Yes, there is no need for Li Ru to do anything. As long as Li Ru is still standing here, the Xiliang soldiers will not let anything happen to him, because this is the military advisor who keeps them fed.

Li Ru also believed in these Xiliang soldiers. Isn't it because he chose Liangzhou because it had hardly been polluted by aristocratic families?

It's enough just to let these Xiliang soldiers have enough to eat and never withhold rewards. Isn't that what being a soldier is for?

So as long as Li Ru stands here, no Xiliang soldier will let him die here. He believes that the Xiliang soldiers under him can definitely protect him.

In this world where will can distort reality, the will of miracles can really create miracles.

The flowers in Luoyang are charming to the eye, making the hero lose his age.It's a pity that the Dong Zhuo of the past is gone forever.

Huge boulders and wood kept falling down from Hulao Pass, and coalition soldiers kept falling from Hulao Pass.Stacked remains are scattered in front of Hulao Pass.The coalition's attack was abruptly blocked at Hulao Pass, and they could not advance even an inch.

Even the top masters of internal Qi separation were unable to rush up the city wall and open the way for the soldiers under the pressure of the cloud gas generated by nearly 60 soldiers.

Without the protection and assistance of soldiers, they would have fallen under the encirclement and suppression of enemy soldiers. After all, soldiers could not keep up with their speed.

There are more than 100 sharp archers with inner energy targeting top masters like Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun. Anyone who dares to take the lead will definitely be targeted and sniped with all their strength.

It's like Guan Yu tried to charge, but was enveloped by hundreds of arrows filled with inner energy.

The wielded Qinglong Yanyue Sword was unable to block them all. He tried to rely on his inner energy to resist, but was hit in the left arm by an arrow that came out of nowhere.

Guan Yu suddenly became depressed. Why are they all coming to me? Zhao Yun, who came up with me, didn't get hit by the arrow.

Time ticked by, and the fierce offensive and defensive battle between the two armies came to an end as dusk turned the sky dim, and both sides stopped fighting with a tacit understanding.

The coalition forces withdrew from the fighting area and sent people to collect the remains of soldiers scattered everywhere. The Hulao garrison also sent people to collect the remains.

The two sides passed each other, with no affectionate looks at each other, no verbal conversation, and no emotional fluctuations. What was left was only numbness towards war and death.

Li Ru looked at the coalition forces slowly withdrawing from the battlefield, and the Xiliang Army who were happy for repelling the coalition forces. In fact, he knew that even without Dong Zhuo here, the Xiliang Army would bring victory to them.

But, Prime Minister, I took you out of Liangzhou and came to Luoyang, not to let you indulge in this false prosperity.

I brought you out to break the old rules.

The purpose of bringing you to Hulao is to awaken your former will, not to let the Xiliang soldiers who trust you see your current cowardice and fear of death.

Li Ru sat dejectedly in the corner. You must know that he had never been so graceless before.

After being forced into this state, it is really ironic that the king I want to assist will also become the one I want to overthrow.

"Military advisor, the coalition forces have retreated." Gao Shun saluted Li Ru.

"It's you, Gong Zheng, let me calm down here, and you can arrange for soldiers to guard this place." Li Ru walked down Hulao Pass with Chi Mu's figure.

The surrounding soldiers watched the man they respected leave the city wall of Hulao Pass with a lost figure. They were obviously joyful after the victory, but they gradually became depressed as Li Ru slowly left.

Li Ru returned to the Government Affairs Office he set up in Hulao Pass, and only heard Dong Zhuo roaring and asking why Lu Bu lost, and Lu Bu forcefully defending that he was just careless.

After entering, I found that the generals who came to Hulao Pass this time had already arrived except for a few people who stayed at Hulao Pass to defend. The familiar figure on the civil servant side was gone and was replaced by Li Su.

Li Ru sat in his seat and looked at the wealthy figure who had disappeared. As expected, Jia Xu had a better grasp of human nature.

Dong Zhuo, who was sitting in the main seat, was still shouting loudly, as if he wanted to get rid of the shadow of death in this way, and secretly observed Li Ru's reaction from time to time.
