Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 918 Meeting with Luoyang
Chapter 916: Meeting Luoyang
"Report... to report to the leader that Wang Shichong, who was ordered to go after him, is waiting for the general to come back."

"Oh?"

The corners of Qin Hao's mouth curled up slightly, and he said with a smile, "Quick pass."

"promise."

After the allied forces forcibly broke through Hulao Pass, about ten thousand Liang troops escaped from Hulao. Although the threat of this remnant army was small, it was hard to guarantee whether Li Shimin would have a follow-up move, so Qin Hao sent the four princes of Bingzhou, Wang Shichong , Zhang Yang, Zhang Chao, and Wang Kuang led an army of [-] to pursue them, and sent Xue Rengui to assist them.

If there is no ambush, this pursuit can be said to be a sure victory, but Wang Shichong and others who returned looked embarrassed, and even the dragon scale armor on Xue Rengui's body was blackened by smoke.

This is obviously an ambush.

Xue Rengui strode into the main hall, and when he saw Qin Hao, he immediately knelt down on one knee with his fists folded, and said with a face of shame: "The last general has failed to wipe out the remnants of the Liang army who escaped from the tiger prison. Ambush by the Liang army."

Wang Shichong and others didn't speak, which was acquiescence, but there was a trace of unnaturalness in their eyes.

Qin Hao didn't know what to do when he saw this, obviously they were suspicious of him and deliberately asked them to block the gun.

Although Qin Hao could see it, he didn't try to explain anything. After all, the more he explained about this kind of thing, the more he couldn't explain it clearly. Besides, no matter how dissatisfied they were, they couldn't help Qin Hao now.

"What the hell is going on?"

Seeing that the armor on Xue Rengui's body was blackened, Qin Hao immediately expressed regret, and asked, "Could it be that the Liang army burned down Dagu Pass?"

Xue Rengui was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled wryly: "That's right, the final general pursued all the way in the direction of Luoyang, while the remnants of the Liang army hid in the Daguguan ruins.

The Dagu Pass had not yet been repaired, so it was easily breached by our army, but after the general and others entered the pass, they discovered that a large amount of kerosene and saltpeter had been arranged in advance.

The last general and others didn't notice for a while, and after reacting, although they ordered the retreat immediately, thousands of soldiers were still buried in the sea of ​​fire, and the fire also blocked the road to Luoyang. Unable to march in. "

Burning customs to block the way?Qin Hao can guess without thinking, this move must be Li Shimin's handwriting.

Although the Dagu Pass has not been rebuilt yet, countless manpower and material resources have been invested. Except for Li Shimin, no one else has such courage to burn down such a grand pass.

Qin Hao is also very fortunate that Xue Rengui was sent over this time, otherwise, based on the words of Wang Shichong and others, thousands of people would have died.

Qin Hao guessed that Li Shimin's fire attack at Dagu Pass should have imitated his fire attack at Yanmen Pass five years ago, but unfortunately Li Shimin had only his shape but not the essence, so Xue Rengui saw the flaw, otherwise the entire chasing army would be wiped out.

Seventy percent of Dagu Pass had been rebuilt, but it was burned down so easily. Qin Hao still feels distressed about this.

The Hulao Pass, which was dilapidated again after the war, naturally cannot take on the heavy responsibility of the east gate of Sizhou, so after Qin Hao seizes Sizhou, both Hulao Pass and Dagu Pass will definitely be rebuilt again, and this does not know how much resources will be invested , Qin Hao really feels sorry for the cost of rebuilding the two levels.

Li Shimin went to Luoyang to recuperate, but before he left, he gave Qin Hao such a trick, preferring not to leave it to Qin Hao if he didn't get it.

Sure enough, facing an enemy like Li Shimin, you can't relax at any time!Qin Hao sighed in his heart.

"Hey, I can't blame you this time, it's the leader who underestimated the enemy."

Qin Hao comforted a few people, and then said in a deep voice: "The big fire at Daguguan will probably not go out in a few days. Let's fix it before then."

[Ding dong, the third battle of Hulaoguan is over, and the stocktaking begins...]

The third battle of Hulaoguan lasted for more than three months and was divided into four parts.

In the first part, the Hulao rain battle before the division of the troops, the coalition forces suffered [-] casualties in that battle, but nearly [-] of the main cavalry of the Liang army were destroyed.

In the second part, the intelligent attack on Hulao, which lasted for one and a half months after the division of troops, resulted in [-] casualties of the coalition forces as the attacking side, and [-] casualties of the Liang army defending the city.

The third part was the Battle of Longmen Formation. The coalition army suffered [-] casualties, while the Liang army suffered [-] casualties.

In the fourth part, that is, the 20-day onslaught that just ended, the coalition forces suffered nearly [-] casualties, and the Liang army suffered [-] casualties.

Before the division of troops, the allied forces suffered 23 casualties, and after the division of troops, another [-] were killed or injured. It was extremely difficult to break through the Hulao, the eternal pass, and now Qin Hao only has [-] troops left.

The coalition forces suffered 11 casualties, but wiped out the Liang army's 12 troops, including [-] cavalry. Li Shimin returned to Luoyang with only [-] remnants.

As the attacking coalition army, the casualties were actually smaller than the Liang army defending the city, which is unbelievable for the attacking side.

Of course, the reason for this unreasonable phenomenon is mainly because of the two big battles planned by Qin Hao, the rain battle and the formation battle, which suppressed the overall casualty ratio between the enemy and ourselves, otherwise the second and fourth parts This is the normal siege casualty ratio.

Among the 12 casualties of the Liang army, there were [-] prisoners of war, namely: [-] prisoners in the rain battle, [-] prisoners in the formation battle, [-] prisoners who broke through the customs, and only [-] died in the direct battle people.

Among the 11 casualties of the Liang army, 7 were directly killed in battle, and [-] of the [-] wounded who could be cured were injured and disabled, and the other [-] could return to the army after being cured.

That is to say, in just three months, a total of nearly 15 people were buried in the Hulao Pass, causing the entire Hulao Pass to flow into rivers of blood, and almost every inch of land was turned into scorched earth.

[According to statistics, the third battle of Hulao Pass, including the Hulao Rain Battle, killed 12 enemies and 11 self-damaged... Since the Hulao Rain Battle has already been settled once, after this re-calculation, deduct 270 summoning points, the host currently has 2500 summoning points left. 】

It is the first time Qin Hao has encountered such a situation, but there is no way to do it. After all, the casualties of the coalition forces in the back are already higher than those of the Liang army, but compared with the war before the war, Qin Hao still earns. Got 100 Summoning Points.

The fire at Dagu Pass burned for three days and three nights before it was extinguished. On the second day, Yang Su of Yique Pass also burned the pass and led an army of [-] back to Luoyang.

Qin Hao was so angry that he almost vomited blood when he heard this, but there was nothing he could do. He could only wait for the future to rebuild slowly.

Luoyang originally had [-] troops left, but Hulao Pass withdrew [-], and Yique Pass withdrew another [-]. So far, Luoyang also has [-] troops, which barely has the capital to fight the coalition forces.

Three days later, Qin Hao left 23 Qin troops to guard and prison, and led the [-] coalition troops on the east road to march towards Luoyang.

On the fourth day, the coalition forces of the South Route and the Southeast Route also marched towards Luoyang immediately after the fire at Yiqueguan was extinguished.

The three armies finally joined forces in Luoyang.
