Three Kingdoms Mythology World.

Kong Rong's Northern Army camp was also engulfed in flames. The usually gentle and refined player soldiers had transformed into the fiercest jackals. They charged forward, stepping over the corpses of their comrades, their weapons slashing haphazardly, yet with a ruthless ferocity that threatened to destroy everything in their path.

Kong Rong's soldiers were mostly converted from Confucian scholars and aristocratic families. Although they were loyal and righteous and had good strength, they lacked practical experience and ruthlessness. Faced with this reckless fighting style, they quickly fell into disarray.

In the southeast corner of the military camp, piles of sea salt and cloth transported from Beihai County were now engulfed in flames. The crackling flames illuminated half the sky and also reddened Kong Rong's face, which was filled with shock and anger.

He hadn't expected these strange people, whom he considered "barbarians," to possess such terrifying combat and organizational skills. Even more terrifying was their audacity. The lords here were essentially the strongest governors of the Han Dynasty, possessing formidable military strength and the powerful clans and influential families behind them. Yet these strange people dared to lay a hand on them—it was tantamount to courting death!
In the central area of ​​Hulao Pass, although Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's main camps had not yet been directly attacked, the atmosphere was extremely tense. Yuan Shao's garrison commander stood on a high platform, looking at the flames burning all over the city and the faint sounds of battle shouts, his face grim and uncertain.

They had a large army, over a million strong, but the territory they had to defend was also vast, and they had a lot of supplies and provisions, so they dared not launch a rescue mission lightly.

One of his lieutenants spoke up in a low voice, "General, should we contact the lord and ask him to recall the troops attacking Luoyang? If the other camps fall, we'll be left isolated!"

"It's alright. The strategist anticipated this, so they wouldn't dare to make a move. Besides, we have such a strong and well-equipped army; these are just some minor intruders," the general waved his hand and said.

"However, we still need to use the methods the strategist instructed us to use beforehand. You will lead 200,000 troops out of the camp, along with plenty of flags and war drums... If the aliens really attack, you will lead your troops to create a huge commotion, as if two million troops have returned... to deter the attacking aliens!"

"This plan is brilliant!"

The players' attacks from afar came in waves, one after another. Utilizing their familiarity with the game rules, they constantly used all sorts of strange items and skills. Some players summoned giant golems to draw enemy fire, some used invisibility scrolls to infiltrate enemy camps and sabotage, and others used the terrain to set traps.

The soldiers of the Kwantung Army had never seen such bizarre tactics before. Their formation was torn apart like paper under the players' onslaught.

Beitang Xue and Zhang Xueying's troops had completely taken control of Zhang Chao's camp, and countless supplies of grain and warhorses were being transported out. Looking at the mountains of spoils, both of them showed excited expressions.

"Sister Xueying, it seems we made the right bet!" Beitang Xue wiped the blood off her face, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

The strategy of surrounding three sides and leaving one open succeeded. Seeing no reinforcements, Zhang Chao's soldiers despaired and could only hastily flee towards the unencircled side of the compound. As for the food and supplies inside the camp, there was no time to care; they were so desperate to escape they wished they had four legs…

Zhang Xueying nodded, the longsword in her hand still dripping blood.

She then looked up at the distant firelight and asked meaningfully, "We've achieved our main objective, so what's next? Retreat or continue?"

"Should we continue? We've already lost 70,000 to 80,000 player soldiers in this frenzied attack... Should we save some for Lin Mu?" Beitang Xue hesitated.

Although player soldiers can be resurrected, the cost is significant. Each time a player dies, they must receive a death benefit payment.

"Forget it, don't be so greedy... The grain and supplies here are worth tens of millions of gold coins, don't be too greedy!" Zhang Xueying also knew when to stop.

After emptying all the grain and supplies, the two led their troops to withdraw from the turbulent Hulao Pass as soon as possible.

By the time they reached the west city wall, it was already the second night, and flames were already raging behind them.

The players set more and more fires, setting many of the surrounding houses ablaze... From a distance, it looked just like a replica of the burning of Luoyang!

"If you can't have it, burn it... That's too cruel..." Beitang Xue stood on the city wall, gazing into the distance, and sighed softly.

“This is actually what Lin Mu wanted to see, isn’t it… By weakening the power of the feudal lords, they are indirectly reducing the pressure on him…” Zhang Xueying raised an eyebrow and said.

“The only losses this time were in the grain and supplies… These are all renewable resources, and it would be easy for the lords’ troops to break through, so it doesn’t weaken them too much… Lin Mu must still be under a lot of pressure,” Beitang Xue said, shaking her head.

Their faction's advisory council had already analyzed Lin Mu's current situation and knew that Lin Mu would face great pressure in the future!

Some advisors speculated that Lin Mu's current territory might collapse... while others believed that Lin Mu would cut his losses and relinquish most of Youzhou and Qingzhou to increase his strategic depth and margin for error when faced with numerous pressures.

“Let’s not worry about Lin Mu. Rumor has it that he has already occupied Yizhou Island. With that incredibly secure rear, what is there to worry about? Even if Yangzhou is lost, he still has hope of rising again!” Zhang Xueying smiled.

“That’s true…” Beitang Xue nodded gently.

Afterwards, the two led their troops away from Hulao Pass. The turmoil at Hulao Pass continued, and the battle between the players and the warlords of Guandong entered a fierce stage. These few days were destined to be a turning point in the fates of countless people.

With blood and courage, players have forged a path to rise for themselves in this war-torn era.

For those powerful warlords in Guandong, this was the first time they truly realized that these "outcasts" they had looked down upon had become a force to be reckoned with, a force capable of overturning the existing order.

……

When the turmoil occurred at Hulao Pass, the migrating army also encountered fighting.

The first shot fired in the raid on Dong Zhuo and the mass exodus of the capital Luoyang was fired by none other than the mysterious army known as the "White Wave Army," which had raided the Wei family and dethroned Wei Zhongdao from the list of feudal lords!

Xu Huang, the leader of the White Wave Army!
Outside Mianchi City, in a secluded, dense forest, Xu Huang, carrying an axe, gazed into the distance at the procession that resembled a winding, giant dragon.

"Commander, why doesn't Dong Zhuo use city teleportation arrays to transport supplies and civilians? How long would it take to migrate thousands of miles on foot at such a cost?" A lieutenant asked, looking at the dense, dark mass of people migrating.

"After the Kwantung Allied Army started the war, the teleportation arrays in various cities became unusable. Even the cities behind Hulao Pass were attacked by spies, rendering their teleportation arrays unusable."

"As for the additional teleportation arrays, the cost would be enormous. After all, setting up a teleportation array is quite expensive, and there's also the issue of durability. The population of Luoyang, the capital, is in the tens of millions. How many teleportation arrays would that require? Moreover, the cost of transporting people by carriage is even greater... Even with Dong Zhuo's resources, or even the Han Dynasty's imperial family, they simply cannot afford to use teleportation arrays to relocate the entire capital, Luoyang!"

"So, using this clumsy method is the most cost-effective," Xu Huang said quietly.

"Commander, Commander, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry patrol has just finished patrolling this area and has already gone far away!" At this moment, a scout hurriedly stepped forward to report.

"In that case, get everyone ready to kill!!" Xu Huang shouted in a deep voice.

"Remember, this time we won't rob anyone or deplete the Xiliang Iron Cavalry's defenses. We'll only plunder provisions and money. We can't take any of the armor, shields, or other supplies, understand?!"

"Even if there is any, throw it all out of the wagon and load it with grain and money!"

"Furthermore, from the moment the close combat begins, one hour later, regardless of the battle situation or whether there have been any gains, you must retreat immediately! If any team completes its mission ahead of schedule, ignore the other teams and withdraw directly, understand?!!!"

Xu Huang gave specific instructions.

"Yes, sir!!!" the crowd shouted in unison.

"Okay! Let's go!"

Xu Huang waved his hand, and countless howling, bandit-like soldiers rushed out of the dense forest, heading straight for the numerous escort carriages.

Xu Huang's target was not the group of ordinary people, but the group transporting supplies.

The other teams weren't entirely guarding the Xiliang cavalry, but this team was entirely composed of Xiliang cavalry.

However, the number was not large; the main force was still the patrol unit of over 100,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

The White Wave Army, rushing down the mountain like a flood, bit down like blood-scented sharks.

With superior numbers, they quickly overwhelmed the defenders, and then began the evacuation...

The long line was impossible to plunder completely, but the White Wave Army was highly efficient and not greedy. After looting the mile-long line, they simply disappeared into the rolling mountains...

This news spread throughout Dong Zhuo's camp immediately.

However, by the time reinforcements arrived, the enemy had already vanished... (End of Chapter)
