365 Dong Zhuo’s strategic retreat!

Hua Xiong was defeated and rescued by many players and generals back to Hulao Pass. Only Li Su was left with a literary general to guard Hulao Pass. Li Su hurriedly wrote a document to Dong Zhuo and asked Dong Zhuo for emergency. The spy was transmitted to Luoyang.

When the Prime Minister's Office of Luoyang, Dong Zhuo received the emergency document and was very dissatisfied.

These days, we have received constant reports of defeat. The rebels in the direction of Hangu Pass took over Weinan City, and Huangfu Song and others were trying to attack Hangu Pass. His younger brother Dong Min retreated from Chang'an to Hangu Pass, and has been staying at Hangu Pass for guilt and made meritorious service. He has sent people to seek additional troops several times.

On the Hulao Pass front, Hua Xiong was defeated again, killing two young generals.

Although it has not yet reached the point of defeat, the situation is already very bad. If this continues, the Kanto warlords and the Kanto army will sooner or later come to Luoyang. The problem is only the order.

Dong Zhuo urgently summoned Li Ru and Lu Bu's two confidant officials to discuss countermeasures.

Dong Zhuo asked Li Ru.

Li Ru said worriedly: "Chang'an is lost and Hulao Guan Huaxiong is defeated, which shows that the power of the thieves in the world is vast. Now the thieves are attacking from the east and west at the same time, making it difficult for us to take care of the head and tail, and we are unable to advance or retreat. Luoyang is no longer a place to stay for a long time, so the prime minister needs to make other plans early."

Dong Zhuo said: "What are the plans?"

Li Rudao: "To escape from danger, you must leave Luoyang. There are two roads: one is to go east, break through the Eighteenth Route Army of Guandong, and head north to Jizhou; the other is to go west, defeat the four thief army of Guanxi Huangfu, Han, Ma and Xiaobai. How to choose the Prime Minister?"

Dong Zhuo thought for a moment and nodded, "The Kanto bandit army is strong, while the Kanto bandit army is weak. In this way, it is only possible to go west."

Li Ru continued: "If you go west and defeat the Guanxi bandit army, most of the four bandit army in Guanxi will choose to retreat to Tianshui, Longyou, Anding, and the northern part of Liang, and the Kanto Allied Forces enter Luoyang. Our army is in Chang'an, and we are still attacked by the Guandong bandit army and the Guanxi bandit army. It is just that Luoyang has been replaced by Chang'an, and Chang'an is still a dangerous place. Our army must go north to Jinyang, the capital of Bingzhou, or enter Hanzhong, so that we can avoid the attack, give up Chang'an, and watch the Guandong army fight with the Guanxi army. I think it is appropriate to go north to Bingzhou, but what does the Prime Minister think?"

Dong Zhuo was very happy: "Sitting on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, how wonderful is the military advisor's words! What does Fengxian think that the military advisor said?"

"What the military advisor said is very much."

Lu Bu did not object, and the Wuyuan County of Bingzhou was his hometown. Instead of going to Hanzhong, it was better to go to Bingzhou. Moreover, Bingzhou and Liangzhou were connected, so they would seek revenge from the princes of Guanxi in the future.

Similarly, Li Ru and Dong Zhuo both believed that going to Bingzhou was better than going to Hanzhong, not because Hanzhong was not suitable for foundation, but because they were born in Xiliang and were used to the vast border areas, so they felt restricted when going to Hanzhong.

Dong Zhuo said: "Since that's the case, I will prepare to withdraw the troops from Kansai as soon as possible."

Li Rudao: "Wait, if our army shows its intention to retreat, we may be mistaken for being timid by the Kwantung Army and take the opportunity to step up the attack. Therefore, we need to ask Mr. Wen to personally lead the army to Hulao Pass to dampen the spirit of the Kwantung Army. Then our army can withdraw from Luoyang, retreat to Hangu Pass, and head north to Bingzhou."

The plan to retreat west was determined.

Dong Zhuo ordered the emperor to move the capital to Jinyang, and sent 5,000 iron cavalry to capture wealthy families in Luoyang and rob the golden treasures. The generals Li Kui and Guo Si drove millions of people from Luoyang to prepare to leave Hangu Pass.

Generals such as Lu Bu, Fan Chou led their troops to Hulao Pass, with an army of 60,000 to attack the Kwantung Alliance.

Yuan Shao urgently sent eight princes of Wang Kuang, Qiao Mao, Bao Xin, Yuan Yi, Sun Rong, Zhang Yang, Tao Qian, and Gongsun Zan to lead their troops to meet the enemy at Hulao Pass.

Lu Bu tied his hair with a golden crown, a magic weapon, a square sky painting halberd, and a red rabbit and BMW under his crotch. The eight princes were so brave that they were in a panic that no one dared to say a battle. The army of the princes of the Kanto player was even more cunning. When he heard that Lu Bu was coming, he ran away desperately and left the NPC troops behind the palace.

......

Chang'an, Chen Cang and Ma Teng led their troops to more than 27,000 horses to fight with Niu Fu's 20,000 troops in Chen Cang. Han Sui's more than 20,000 troops were the rear army, and he detoured the Niu Fu's rear route, trying to capture all the Niu Fu's troops in one place and completely solve this threat to the huge Chang'an military force. As long as Niu Fu and Ma are solved, Han will be able to return to support the Hangu Pass battle.

Unfortunately, Niu Fu did not give them this opportunity.

The four generals Niu Fu, Jia Xu, Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu led a large army from Tianshui to rescue Dong Min from Chang'an City. Unfortunately, they arrived in Chen Cang and found that Chang'an had been broken. Military advisor Jia Xu saw that Chang'an City had been broken by Huangfu Song and other Guanxi princes, and it was useless to continue to advance, so he suggested that Niu Fu temporarily stationed in Chencang Town, watch the situation, and wait for change. Because their army is far from the opponent of the four princes of Xiliang, and moving forward rashly is undoubtedly a death.

This is undoubtedly a correct strategy. If you are stationed in Chencang Town, you can maintain military pressure on Chang'an at any time. As long as Dong Zhuo sends a large army to counterattack Chang'an from Hangu Pass, they can take the opportunity to leave Chencang and attack Chang'an. If Dong Zhuo does not send a large army to counterattack Chang'an, there is no need for them to rush to die. It is better to stay in Chencang Town than to go to Chang'an.

Niu Fu followed his plan and led his army to station in Chencang Town.

Chencang Town is an important town, with its defense power stronger than ordinary small and medium-sized cities. It would be extremely costly to attack Chencang Town, which has 20,000 elite soldiers. Ma Teng and Han Sui's troops are about three times that of Niu Fu, and they are enough to defeat Niu Fu's army in the plains. If the troops of the three Guanxi players and princes including the East, the Earth Emperor, and the Wild Wolf are four or five times that of Niu Fu's army. However, if you attack the city, the troops are still a little weak.

Seeing Niu Fu stationed in Chencang, Ma Teng sent general Pang De to lead his army outside Chencang Town to yell and challenge, hoping to lure Niu Fu out for a decisive battle.

Niu Fu wanted to go out to fight, but Jia Xu tried his best to dissuade him again.

Seeing Niu Fu and Turtle evading the battle, Ma Teng had no choice but to send someone to Huangfu Song, Weinan City, to seek strategies.

Huangfu Song thought for a long time. In the battle of Chen Cang and Niu Fu avoided the war, it seemed that it would not be resolved in three to five days. However, the attack on Hangu Pass was imminent, and a large number of troops were urgently needed. With enough intelligence and analysis, Dong Zhuo could not withstand the attack of the Kanto Alliance of Princes and would likely retreat westward. He had to seize Hangu Pass before Dong Zhuo made up his mind to evacuate Luoyang and block Dong Zhuo in Luoyang.

Huangfu Song ordered Ma Teng to temporarily retreat to Wuzhangyuan to monitor the movements of Niu Fu's army. Han Sui immediately returned to the army and rushed to Hangu Pass to participate in the war.

The small city of Weinan was captured by Song Yang and Yu, lonely, drunk for three lives, and making money was the vanguard army composed of the four princes of the kingdom. Immediately, Huangfu Song led an army of 18,000 leaving Chang'an and entering the small city of Weinan.

Most of Huangfu Song's troops were composed of elite soldiers from level 60 to level 80, including heavy halberd soldiers, heavy archers, heavy armored swords and shield soldiers, royal guards, tiger cavalry, and extremely elite close combat power. They were the core main attack troops for the capture of Hangu Pass this time. With Weinan City as the base, a large number of siege equipment, ladders, collision cars, and ejectors were rushing to build.

Zhan Xiaobai was not idle in Chang'an City, so he summoned almost all the NPC craftsmen in Chang'an City to make equipment day and night, and transported it to Weinan City in batches.

Chang'an City showed its extremely powerful military production and manufacturing capabilities. In just a few days, 50,000 ladders, 500 ejectors, 100 crash cars, and 1,000 baffle trucks were manufactured. The wood in Chang'an City was almost used up, and a large number of NPC farmers had to be recruited to go to nearby mountains to cut down wood.

The number is so large that even the baggage trucks are not enough, so the players simply let the players carry it on foot. The 100,000 players and soldiers from the Little White Alliance transported this batch of urgently needed war materials to Weinan City.

On February 5, Zhan Xiaobai received an emergency military information from Luoyang. Dong Zhuo's 10,000 troops in Luoyang were led by Li Gui to Hangu Pass.

Huangfu Song, Han Sui, Song Yang, and the three NPC princes of Song and Yang, come together with Yu. Loneliness, drunk three lives, and making money is the kingly way of all the troops of the three players of the three players. The total force of the total force is as high as 150,000, including players. No longer hesitation, he immediately launched a crazy attack on Hangu Pass.

The player troops are arranged in the front.

On the first 24 hours, three players and princes were 100,000 players, and they rushed to Hangu Pass in a row, fighting with Dong Min, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, 10,000 NPC defenders. Each time they charged more than 10,000 people, and fought for two hours. Arrows on the shutdown were like pouring rain. In one day, more than 100,000 players were killed at the gate, and more than 10,000 defenders were wiped out.

The only important role played by 100,000 players is to consume almost one clean arrow, roll wood, oil and stone reserved by the Hangu Pass defenders, destroying all traps under the pass, and greatly weakening the defenders' physical strength in the 24-hour continuous storm.

The role of cannon fodder is fully exerted.

On the second day, Huangfu Song, Han Sui and Song Yang's NPC troops took the battle.

Huangfu Song personally supervised the battle.

Five hundred ejectors were installed under Hangu Pass, and they all shot huge rocks at Hangu Pass to destroy the city-gu Pass.

Under the cover of thousands of baffle trucks, tens of thousands of NPC infantrymen carried a ladder to charge towards Hangu Pass. This time, the results were huge. They quickly consumed the defenders' forces at a speed of 1.5:1.

The three NPC princes consumed more than 9,000 defenders at the cost of 13,000 people. Seeing that the troops of Hangu Pass dropped sharply to less than 1,000, and were about to be captured. Li Kuai 10,000 reinforcements arrived at Hangu Pass in time and quickly restored the garrison force of Hangu Pass.

Huangfu Song sighed at Hangu Pass and said nothing. Dong Zhuo had already begun to draw troops from Luoyang and Hulao Pass to reinforce Hangu Pass. If this continues, all his elite NPC troops will be exhausted and he will not be able to take Hangu Pass.

Huangfu Song immediately withdrew all the NPC troops, replaced the player cannon fodder troops to fight, and continued to consume the defenders.

Forces, shortage of troops!
