Chapter 251 Bloody Battle

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.

Behind the allied forces of the princes, there was a thick darkness. Tens of thousands of troops were pressing down on the formation. In front of the formation, there were countless supervisory teams holding long swords, tugging at their thick red necks and roaring. Countless corpses were already lying in front of them.

Wang Mang's previous attack plan was extremely effective, turning nearly 10 people into deserters during the First World War.

Not many people actually died in battle, more were caused by camp roars or bombings of camps.

Attacking the city with deserters is their only method at present. After all, after a few days of fighting, attacking the city is basically equal to death.

The soldiers charging forward looked at the supervising team behind them in horror, fearing that if they ran too slowly, they would be overtaken by these evil spirits and brutally hacked to death.

The soldiers at the front were all soldiers who had become deserters last night and were recruited later. They were thrown directly into the cruelest battlefield.

Only in this way can they wash away their shame as deserters, and it is also a way to regain their fighting spirit.

The coalition forces put a full 12 troops into the battlefield this time. From the beginning of the siege to night, they launched countless fierce attacks and paid countless blood prices.

However, Hulao Pass is still standing, and the city walls are covered with arrows and ladders. Countless blood stains that have not yet dried up and the strong smell of blood impact the nerves of every soldier.

Moreover, there is a pungent stench floating on the battlefield. Soldiers who are veterans of the battlefield all know that this is gold juice.

Gold juice is one of the most effective weapons for defending the city on the battlefield. Generally, most of the soldiers who survive the battlefield and are showered with hot gold juice will die due to bacteria.

This bloody battle lasted for a whole day and night. It was not until Wang Li began to mobilize large-scale long-range legions that Xiang Jian stopped fighting.

In the big tent the next day, Xiang Jian announced the battle losses in front of everyone.

Nearly [-]% of the troops were lost, but in comparison, the surviving recruits who had gone through the hardships of blood and fire were no different.

Soon the various princes were arranged to make battle plans. This time, under Xiang Jian's instructions, all the soldiers were put under Xiang Jian's unified command.

Xiang Jian also directly used the wealth of his own Xiang family generals to guarantee that if anyone dared to take this opportunity to embezzle other people's tribes, the other princes would attack him.

It is precisely because of this that the military orders of the coalition forces are the same this time, and the command of the troops is also handed over to Xiang Jian, the only one among the coalition forces who understands large army operations.

Fan Zeng was very excited. He had studied hard for many years and now he and Xiang Jian cooperated with each other to form a Xuanxiang army formation with the coalition forces.

The effect of the military formation is very simple. It is a military formation that simply strengthens endurance and strengthens recovery. It can allow coalition veterans to reduce casualties and ensure the birth of the Guards Corps.

Day three, day four...

The bloody battle in front of Hulao Pass lasted for nearly a week. During this period, even though Xiang Jian took the lead in organizing a wave of fierce generals to break through, they returned without success.

Wang Li specially placed the first-level Qin archers of the Imperial Guard on the wall to prevent this elite team from fighting a breakthrough.

Almost as soon as the top masters at the Dragon General level show up, Qin Archer will immediately organize a wave of concentrated fire and sniper killing.

Many generals were injured. They could still block hundreds of arrows with their skills, but with thousands of arrows covering their body, even the top masters were not gods.

The powerful world-breakers, including Chang Yuchun and Huang Zhong, had basically received a few arrows on their bodies.With the cloud energy suppressing their strength, they were unable to perform operations such as transforming the energy into armor.

He could only barely protect his vital parts, and as for the remaining parts, he really left it to fate.

In fact, Xiang Jian's strategy was right. Under the attack of Qin archers, the elite team broke through to the top of the city. The coalition forces attacking the city contained part of Wang Li's energy.

However, Lu Bu, Han Qinhu, Yu Juluo and others were lined up on the top of the city, which made the generals on the top of the city a little desperate and could only jump over the wall and run away one by one.

Let’s not talk about whether they can survive the fight. Anyway, being stopped is 100% no problem.

Coupled with the Qin archers who were watching eagerly from nowhere, they could not stand on the city wall at all.

If they were greedy, they might all be sent to the wall of Hulao Pass.All the princes looked at Wang Li on the top of the city with extremely sad expressions.

They knew that Xiang Jian had definitely tried his best. For the glory of the Xiang family, Xiang Jian almost commanded the army to attack the city throughout the whole process. However, siege warfare was like this. In addition to extravagant moves, he could only use his life to fill the gap.

The barracks of the princes were filled with a strong and bleak atmosphere of iron and blood, but when the princes in the big tent saw the soldiers and princes with resolute faces, there was a faint look of satisfaction on their faces.

The coalition forces paid a heavy price in continuous bloody battles for many days, and nearly a quarter of the 40 coalition troops were lost. However, the princes sitting in the big tent did not show the slightest look of sadness on their faces. Instead, they nodded frequently.

The tragic casualties of nearly [-] people made the soldiers of the coalition of princes seem to have been reborn, and military discipline and morale were not what they used to be.

They were training their troops at the cost of their soldiers' lives to train an elite army of iron-blooded soldiers that was elite enough for them to defeat Hulao Pass. They were very satisfied with the changes in the army.

The legion's more formal methods of becoming stronger are nothing more than two methods.

The first is training, which involves converting various food resources into internal energy through training to steadily enhance the strength of the soldiers.

There are many ways to train, but the core content is to convert resources into combat effectiveness. This method is slow but extremely stable and has no risks.

The second method is to kill. Find an evenly matched opponent on the battlefield to kill to win, and then convert the various auras of the dead soldier into internal energy for absorption. This method is fast and without any risk.

The only thing you need to worry about is how you can win. A battle of equal strength is full of variables, and no one can guarantee that he can win all the time.

The coalition forces adopted the most cruel method, which was to pile up massive cannon fodder and use the huge amount of blood and evil spirits on the battlefield to select qualified soldiers like a slaughterhouse.

The result made them happy. After paying the price of [-] soldiers, the overall strength of the coalition almost doubled, and even some princes began to have their own imperial guards.

In their eyes, the lives of nearly [-] people are just a cold number, just a tool for them to compete for interests. No one cares about the corpses that are constantly being burned on the sidelines.

The coalition forces were already immersed in great joy, and they were pleasantly surprised by the changes in their troops.

They are all immersed in the tremendous progress of the coalition, which further amplifies their ambitions.

In this already chaotic situation, the aristocratic families who had long had different intentions followed the situation closely and accelerated the pace of carving up the Qin Dynasty.

No one among the coalition forces noticed anything strange about Zhu Hai, who was sitting with them.

Zhu Hai clenched his hands tightly, and his nails even pierced into his palms without noticing it. Those who died were all his Chinese people.

Facing the iron-blooded army, he felt cold, and being among such a group of princes made him even more dazed.

As a time traveler, he couldn't do it, and he couldn't accept the attitude of a group of princes who took the lives of their soldiers as weights.

He had observed that these princes were born into the aristocratic class, and almost no one treated soldiers as human beings.

Perhaps this is the reason why Liu Hua is unwilling to stay with these princes, Zhu Hai had this thought flashing through his mind.

"Alliance leader, the army has been formed, why not write a letter of challenge and arrange a battle to give our army another three-point chance of victory!" Zhu Hai threw the wine glass on the table, then stood up and said loudly.

Zhu Hai couldn't wait to defeat the Qin army and stay away from these disgusting princes as soon as possible.

Xiang Jian was stunned. Zhu Hai's proposal moved his heart. He happened to want to wash away the shame he had suffered.

It has to be said that Zhu Hai has extremely good control over the mentality of the princes.

All the princes were already intoxicated with the fantasy of unparalleled achievements, and the formation of the army made their confidence inflated to the extreme.

Calls for battle were recalled in the camp, as if Hulao Pass was already within the grasp of the coalition forces.

Zhu Hai smiled calmly. This was what he wanted. Zhu Hai just gave some simple guidance and then retreated behind everyone. He quietly waited for the princes' decision.
