Chapter 239 Iron-Blooded Pass
Generally speaking, the defense power of a pass with a moat is definitely not at the same level as one without a moat, but that's just an ordinary pass.

For Hulao Pass, the highest-level pass, the moat is just an embellishment. The rugged terrain and high walls are the fundamental reasons why it is difficult to attack.

Of course, whether the moat has been filled in is of little significance to the Qin army, but to the attacking coalition of princes, filling in the moat is still of great significance.

Without a moat, the coalition of princes could at least reduce the overall casualties by one-third in future sieges. This also shows the determination of the coalition of princes to capture Hulao Pass at all costs.

On the first day, since the allied forces of the princes had mainly filled up the moat, they did not cause much damage to the Qin army. However, all the Qin army officers and soldiers under Wang Li's command knew that the real war would only begin tomorrow.

The next day, the siege soldiers naturally rotated. The siege general Yuan Shao, with Chen Dao under his command, took charge of the command. After spreading the formation, they directly attacked the city. The total number of attackers was still [-].

Without the obstacle of the moat, Yuan Shao's soldiers seemed even crazier than the Chu army before. They all howled and ran towards Hulao Pass crazily.

The army rushed directly to Hulao Pass with earth-shaking steps like a tide. The thick clouds in the sky brought everything on the battlefield back to the most primitive cold weapon battle.

"kill!"

Thick smoke billowed, the Hulao was closed and there was a flash of swords, and the drums shook the sky, but it was difficult to resist the miserable sound of fighting.

The powerful coalition forces relied on the human sea tactics to storm Hulao Pass. This was the third storm launched by the coalition forces today.

Densely packed figures, tall and heavy siege equipment, arrow feathers that covered the sky, endless corpses on the ground, and even more soldiers who screamed crazily and then fought together to catch each other.

Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Ji Ling, Chen Dao, Li Zuofeng and other generals under Yuan Shao all joined the siege of Hulao Pass.

The generals at Hulao Pass also stood on the city wall and fought bravely against the enemy, competing with Yuan Shao's generals. As generals, they represented the confidence of the army.

If they were not even there, how could the soldiers on the city wall go all out?

Yuan Shao even sent his elite Wei soldiers to the battlefield, but they were suppressed by the Qin army's heavy armor.

This is the suppression of discipline, the suppression of quality, the suppression of equipment, the suppression of quantity, and the suppression of all aspects!

Although the individual quality of the Qin Army is actually not high in terms of legal soldiers, if you look at some elite units, the quality of the Qin Army is a bit ridiculously strong.

Precisely because at the level of regular soldiers, relying on organizational power to become a talent is enough, so we can invest as much resources as possible in the elite, which makes the elite of the Qin Army appear particularly powerful.

It is also worth mentioning that the Qin Army's Iron Eagle Warriors were selected from heavy armored soldiers. Only the best of the heavy armored soldiers are qualified to become Iron Eagle Warriors.

Just like this, the heavy armored soldiers can actually be regarded as the original version of the Iron Eagle Warriors, so Wang Li chose Deng Qiang to replace Zhao Bi to command the Iron Eagle Warriors.

Yuan Shao's Wei soldiers are not Wu Qi's Wei soldiers at all. At most, they are the health packs of Wu Qi's Wei soldiers. However, the elite of the heavy armored soldiers on the opposite side can basically supplement the Iron Eagle warriors!

The elite talent of Wei Wuzu is quality development, which can be said to be the first quality-based war talent in the world.Quality development is to train one's own quality from the inside out, so that it can compete with the peak of two talents.Wu Qi's advanced version, when the quality is expanded to the extreme, the body has absolute control over the skin, blood, and organs from the outside to the inside.When needed, the body's limitations are completely liberated in a short period of time, but the body will not collapse.

As Wu Qi's version of Wei Wuzu, it can basically be understood as a special soldier with a genetic lock. It can be said that this is the master of quality arms, so Wei Wuzu has almost become the most famous military unit in the entire Warring States Period.

Yuan Shao's Wei soldiers were trained by Chen Dao, and they are still able to cooperate with elite talents. When the enemy's army is stronger than ours, as the opponent's army becomes stronger and our strength increases, we can barely solve it. Open physical restrictions.

Such arms are still far behind the heavy armored troops stationed by the Qin army at the border. The basic deficiencies cannot be easily smoothed out by taking advantage of the situation.

Especially when encountering the opposing army, the gap between this and that point will make the strength gap between the two sides extremely obvious. The most important thing is that there is no hope of victory.

At least before developing their own special effects, quality talents are basically based on who has stronger qualities, whose equipment is stronger, whose will is stronger, and who has more people. To put it simply, there are no special effects. Look at hard power.

Obviously, Yuan Shao's Wei soldiers were much worse than the Qin heavy armor of the Qin Dynasty in every aspect. They relied entirely on their backs and managed to survive under unfavorable circumstances.

But Yuan Shao doesn't care, as long as they practice hard, when they also have an elite, it will be the day of real siege. The current siege is just for training.

The siege battle on the second day was even more intense than the first day. On this day, the battlefield in front of Hulao Pass was littered with corpses, but the casualties were much smaller than those on the first day.

Compared with the terrifying figure of 8000 on the first day, only [-] Yellow Turbans were killed on the second day. This was the result of Xiang Jian's foresight and filling in the moat first.

If Xiang Jian's siege method at all costs was followed, and with the intensity of the siege on the second day, the number of casualties would have increased by at least another [-]%. Of course, Xiang Jian's excellent command also made up for part of the losses for the coalition of princes.

On the third day, after three days of bombardment, the Qin army's catapults finally destroyed all 150 catapults of the princes' coalition after losing twenty-five of their own, and then moved their target to Jinglan of the princes' coalition.

Without the cover of the catapults, Jinglan was targeted by the Qin army again, so Zhu Haijun's attack on the third day was extremely difficult and ended with 8000 people killed.

It was also because of the superb command of Chang Yuchun under Zhu Hai, and the brave generals such as Lu Xiangsheng, Huang Zhong, Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Wei Yan, and Wenpin fought bravely to kill the enemy.

On the fourth and fifth days, because the catapult was started too frequently, most of the bearings were damaged. Wang Li had no choice but to return the damaged ones to the factory for repair.

The Qin army also lost most of its catapults, and the coalition forces of the princes did not pursue them fiercely. Xiang Ceyu, the fierce general who impressed Wang Li last time, did not appear either. Although Wang Li felt strange, he also believed that the coalition forces of the princes were just here. Training.

In these two days, the coalition forces of the princes killed another 6000 and [-] people respectively, plus the previous [-], [-], [-]...

In just five days, the coalition forces of the princes had lost [-] elite soldiers at Hulao Pass, and the Qin army as the defender of the city also lost [-] defenders.

However, the high-intensity battle has sufficient rewards after all. Yuan Shao, who originally only had [-] Imperial Guard Wei Wu soldiers, now has almost [-] Imperial Guard Wei Wu soldiers under his command, which has doubled!
It can be said that the battlefield is definitely the best place to improve your strength. As long as you don't die, you will definitely make progress.Because those who have not made progress have been lying down forever.

The Qin army at Hulao Pass was obviously not willing to be beaten passively. They were destined to launch a counterattack to boost the morale of the defenders.
