Three Kingdoms: Peak Summons

Chapter 917 Breaking Hulao Pass

Chapter 915: Breaking Hulao Pass

I have to say that Liu Yu's prestige in Youzhou is really high. Even Gongsun Zan's subordinates also love this state pastor.

It’s no wonder that Gongsun Zan was so afraid of Liu Yu. According to original history, after Liu Yu was defeated and captured, he no longer posed much of a threat, but Gongsun Zan still killed Liu Yu.

 This also caused a series of troubles, and even the Wuhuan people wanted to attack Gongsun Zan for Liu Yu.

 It can also be seen from this that Gongsun Zan’s decision to kill Liu Yu was also extremely correct.

Even Qin Hao would probably kill Liu Yu. After all, Liu Yu's prestige was so great that if he only threatened him for one day, it would be simple and clear to kill him directly.

 Liu Yu died in this life at the hands of Hou Yi. This was something no one expected, but Hou Yi who shot Liu Yu would be remembered for eternity, which is almost certain.

 Liu Yu's death completely angered all the princes and soldiers in Youzhou.

Master Liu, whom they respected and loved, was so shamelessly 'assassinated' by the Liang Army. This was like a bolt from the blue in the eyes of the Youzhou Army.

Some Youzhou soldiers even acted like their dead father, wailing loudly while charging madly, wishing they could die together with the Liang army.

As the saying goes, a soldier who mourns will win.

At this time, the combat strength of the Youzhou Army was definitely 50% higher than usual. For such a group of sad soldiers to attack Hulao Pass, the impact on Hulao Pass would undoubtedly be huge.

On the tower of Hulao Pass, Li Shimin looked at the increasingly frenzied offensive of the coalition forces, his face was extremely ugly.

I have to say that Qin Hao picked a good time and simply did not give Liang Jun any chance to breathe.

The Liang army had just lost 30,000 troops. At this time, there were only 40,000 defenders left in Hulao Pass. However, because they fell into the trap, their morale plummeted, and generals such as Li Yuanba, Hou Yi, and Jia Fu were all injured.

Therefore, Hulao Pass at this time can be said to be the time when the defense is at its lowest since the war began.

Silently listening to the sounds of fighting, screams, and banging all around, Li Shimin's heart felt cold, because Qin Hao didn't leave him a way to survive at all!

Looking at Qin Hao who was beating the drum hard in the distance, Li Shimin subconsciously clenched his fists, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.

“Qin Hao, as long as I, Li Shimin, am still alive, you can’t even try to break through Hulao Pass.”

Li Shimin whispered to himself, and then as a general, he actually pulled out the Long Yuan Sword and personally joined the defense team.

　　　…

 Li Shimin slashed out with his sword, cutting a flying stone into two pieces, then ignored the huge stone flying above his head, raised his arms and shouted:

“Commanders of the Liang Army, I, Li Shimin, am incompetent and have been defeated repeatedly in battles with Qin Hao, which is why I have brought trouble to you. However, this is just because I, Li Shimin, am not as good as Qin Hao. It is not that I, the Liang Army, are inferior to the coalition forces..."

 Some generals looked in disbelief when they heard what Li Shimin said.

Their general Li Shimin, who is humble on the outside but extremely proud on the inside, now actually admitted that he lost to Qin Hao. To him, this is no less than giving him a sword directly!

"Soldiers, I, Li Shimin, have always believed that the Liang Army is the strongest army in the world. Even if I die today, I, Li Shimin, will defend the honor of the Liang Army to the death. If the coalition forces want to break through Hulao Pass, they must step on me first. Pass the corpse."

【Ding dong, Li Shimin's skill "Zhenguan" effect 3 is activated. When commanding a large army to fight, the overall quality of the entire army will be greatly improved. The greater the disparity between the enemy's and our own forces, the stronger the combat power of the army will be to the enemy. (Note: This effect is most effective when used with Li Shimin’s exclusive unit, the Xuanjia Army. The bonus received by the Xuanjia Army will be twice that of other teams.) Li Shimin’s sonorous and decisive words made all the Liang troops feel moved. They were moved, and then they shouted with all their strength: "We will rest until death, we will rest until death..."

 For a time, the entire Hulao was closed, filled with the sad shouts of the Liang army.

Li Shimin's eyes were slightly moist when he saw this, and he looked up to the sky and roared: "We will rest until death."

【Ding dong, Li Shimin's skill 'Zhenguan' effect 4 is activated. When he joins the battle in person, all generals in the army will gain +1 force and reduce part of the enemy's morale. Wu Yunzhao’s force +1…Zuo Tiancheng’s force +1…]

Qin Hao, who was beating the drum under the city tower, suddenly shrank his pupils after receiving the prompt. When he heard the lone wolf's roar, he immediately stopped and looked at the Hulao closed.

“What a powerful method. Is this going to pit the soldiers against the soldiers?”

Qin Hao's eyes were full of murderous intent, and he whispered to himself: "Li Shimin, Li Shimin, you can still cause trouble for me after things like this, let's see whose fist is harder."

Li Shimin's "Zhenguan" activated two effects in a row, and he almost single-handedly reversed Liang Jun's sluggish water vapor, but that was only an improvement to a certain extent, and it was not at all the level that Liang Jun was at his peak.

 But it is this improvement that is as precious as timely rain to the Liang army as a whole, so that the soldiers are no longer afraid of the coalition forces.

On the first day, Gongsun Zan personally directed the siege of the city. Although he attacked the city tower five times, he was pushed down by Li Shimin himself every time.

Even at night, the coalition forces still did not stop attacking the city, which shows Qin Hao's determination to break Hulao this time.

 The next day, Gongsun Zan handed over the command to Gongsun Xuanyuan, and under Gongsun Xuanyuan's command, he stormed the city tower 12 times in total that day.

 Gongsun Zan's army was responsible for the first three days of the fierce attack, and the three days of ultra-high-intensity siege cost Gongsun Zan nearly ten thousand. Gongsun Zan also paid the price for his previous actions.

 After Gongsun Zan, Liu Yujun of Youzhou who was responsible for attacking the city, no, should be called Liu Chejun now!

 Liu Yu's death filled Liu Yu's army with indignation, and even Liu Che did not dare to preserve his strength at this time.

 Therefore, Liu Che's army fought harder than Gongsun's army. After three days of fierce attack, more than 15,000 people were killed.

By this point, the Youzhou Army was seriously weakened.

After Liu Che, it was naturally the turn of other princes, and after that, they all took turns to attack within one day.

 Half a month later, when the Qin army attacked, Qin Hao gathered all his elite troops and generals, even sending out the Jiulong Guards and the trapped camp, and finally defeated the Liang army and invaded Hulao Pass.

Although the Qin army invaded the pass, Li Shimin's troops would still be sufficient, and he not only vowed not to return to the death, but also started fighting in the streets with the coalition forces.

The two armies engaged in another four days of street fighting. Li Shimin was seriously injured and fell into coma on the first day of the street fighting, and was escorted back to Luoyang along with other seriously injured generals.

After losing their leader, the Liang army held on for another three days. In the end, Wu Yunzhao led more than 10,000 remaining troops to withdraw from Hulao and retreated to Luoyang to continue to defend.

 At this point, the third battle of Hulao Pass has completely come to an end.
