Chapter 229 Sensational in the World!

Although Emperor Yuan is the number one lord player in Yunzhong County, he also has rivals in Yunzhong County. There are also Xiongnu tribes and Xianbei tribes near Yunzhong County. Emperor Yuan cannot bring troops from all his territories to attack the Liangzhou rebels, so this time he only brought more than 10,000 cavalry.

Although Emperor Yuan's cavalry was an elite force, he was helpless against the rebel army led by Bian Zhang and Han Sui, which had a million soldiers and tens of thousands of rebel players following Bian Zhang and Han Sui. Emperor Yuan was outnumbered and was defeated.

In Beidi County, General Zhang Wen sent Commandant Tao Qian to lead a Han army to attack Beidi County, intending to quell the Beidi Alliance, a player rebel group in Beidi County.

Sun Jian, the most powerful Han army general, followed Zhou Shen to attack the stronger Bian Zhang and Han Sui, while Dong Zhuo attacked the Qiang tribe.

In the opinion of General Zhang Wen, the little-known player force "Beidi Alliance" was relatively weak compared to the Liangzhou rebel forces such as Han Sui, Ma Teng, Beigong Boyu, Wang Guo, and the Qiang tribe. So Zhang Wen divided his troops into six groups and only sent Tao Qian to lead this group of Han troops, as well as a group of players who joined the Han army, to attack Beidi County together, hoping that the player rebels in Beidi County would be pacified soon.

Tao Qian led 500,000 Han troops and 400,000 player soldiers, a total of 900,000 troops, and invaded Beidi County in a mighty force.

With the current strength of the lord players, no lord player can stop an army of 900,000.

Even Li Qian, the most powerful lord player in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and his territory, Tangdu, could not withstand an army of 900,000.

This is an army of 900,000.

Even if the 900,000-strong army did not move and stood still to be hacked to death by Li Qian's troops, it would take half a day.

However, the rebel players of the Northern Alliance are not individual players, nor will they fight on their own. Instead, they form an alliance with more than one million soldiers. The Northern Alliance itself may not be able to calculate the exact number for a while, because there are always rebellious Liangzhou players joining the Northern Alliance.

Tao Qian also thought that this trip would easily pacify Beidi County.

Wherever Tao Qian's 900,000 troops went, all surrendered. Tao Qian divided his troops into garrisons, leaving 200,000 troops behind and continuing the attack with only 700,000 troops.

When Tao Qian's army advanced deep into the enemy's territory, the Northern Alliance suddenly led their cavalry to circle around Tao Qian's rear and cut off his retreat!
Tao Qian was suddenly at a loss and terrified.

Even the commander-in-chief was in such a state of panic, and the officers and soldiers under Tao Qian were even more panic-stricken.

The strongest branch of the Liangzhou rebel army is the cavalry.

The reason why the cavalry could run rampant in Liangzhou was that the terrain of Liangzhou was suitable for cavalry operations.

Now the retreat route of Tao Qian's Han army has been cut off by the rebel cavalry. If they are not careful, their entire Han army will be wiped out!
Tao Qian hastily retreated, but the main force of the Northern Alliance had already surrounded him from all directions.

Da da da……

Dust clouds more than ten meters high were raised in the four directions of Tao Qian's army, covering the sky and the sun. The sound of horse hooves echoed in the wilderness, frightening Tao Qian's army and the players who followed Tao Qian.

In this situation, being attacked by the main force of the rebel cavalry basically means the annihilation of the entire army!

"Hahaha, capture Tao Qian alive for me. I want Tao Qian to work for me!"

The leader of the Northern Alliance, King Zhongwu, personally rode a divine horse, holding a lance, and led 100,000 cavalrymen to attack Tao Qian's army head-on!
The 100,000 cavalrymen of the Loyal and Martial Heavenly King, with 10,000 armored cavalry as the main force, forcefully broke through the formation of Tao Qian's army, and then 90,000 light cavalry ruthlessly tore the wounds, like sharp scalpels, cutting Tao Qian's army into pieces!

"Die!"

The King of Loyalty and War wielded his lance, easily killing the Han army with every strike. He was like the reincarnation of the god of war, invincible!
"Hahaha, brothers, kill! Those who make contributions in this battle will be rewarded with money and women!"

The two vice-leaders of the Northern Alliance, Xingwu Tianwang and Changwu Tianwang, each led tens of thousands of cavalrymen to attack Tao Qian's army from two other directions! They used the cavalry as the vanguard, followed closely by the infantry and archers.

The dust is rolling and the rebel troops are countless!
The most terrifying was the cavalry led by three high-ranking officials of the Northern Alliance, numbering nearly 200,000. They attacked from three sides, and the terrifying cavalry charge directly strangled Tao Qian's army, which had lost its morale.

Tao Qian's army was completely powerless to fight back.

Tao Qian was forced to flee back to Meiyang County.

"We are willing to surrender to the Northern Alliance!"

The players who had originally joined the Han army and followed Tao Qian to attack the Northern Alliance saw that the Northern Alliance had won and they had no hope of escape, so they simply rose up and directly joined the Northern Alliance and became rebels.

Since we can't defeat the rebels, then join them.

Tao Qian divided his 200,000 Han troops into garrisons in various places. Because Tao Qian was defeated and his retreat was cut off, they were forced to surrender to the Northern Alliance.

The Northern Alliance gained more than 200,000 Han troops and an even larger number of players from the Han army camp, becoming even stronger. For a time, the entire Eastern Han region was in an uproar.

The Northern Alliance caused a sensation throughout the world and became the strongest rebel force in Liangzhou.

Han Sui, Ma Teng, Beigong Boyu, Wang Guo and others were once the princes of Liang Province or the leaders of the Liang Province rebel forces, but they lacked first-class generals after all. Ma Chao, who had the highest martial power, had not yet grown up, so the Northern Alliance, which had already recruited many powerful generals, was the number one force in the rebel camp!

Compared with the princes in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, what players lack most is military strength. The princes in "Global Warring States" often have troops of hundreds of thousands or millions, while the first-tier lord players only have tens of thousands of troops at most.

The Northern Alliance is different. It has assembled a large number of troops in the form of a player guild, which is enough to compete with the great princes in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. It does not have this shortcoming.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to regard the Northern Alliance as the strongest force in the Liangzhou rebel camp.

Not only did the Han armies of Zhou Shen and Tao Qian fail, but Dong Zhuo was surrounded by rebels in Wangyuan County and ran out of food. Dong Zhuo built a dam on the river and pretended to catch fish and shrimp, but secretly led his troops across the river and escaped. When the rebels wanted to pursue him, they could not cross the river because the river blocked by the dam was too deep. Dong Zhuo successfully escaped back to Meiyang County.

The other three Han armies also all suffered defeat.

In this attack, only Dong Zhuo returned with his entire army, while the other five armies were either completely wiped out or severely damaged.

Dong Zhuo preserved all his troops and selected generals among the short men, and he surprisingly performed the best.

This was the situation of the first batch of punitive troops when Li Qian led his troops to Meiyang County.

The remnants of the Han army assembled in Meiyang County had low morale and could only wait for the court to send reinforcements before launching a second round of attack.

"It seems that the situation is not optimistic... The Liangzhou rebels are stronger than expected..."

When Li Qian arrived at Meiyang County, he found that the Han army soldiers all looked pessimistic. It seemed that the Han army had suffered a terrible defeat this time.

Fortunately, Li Qian suffered no loss because he was one step late.

Because of Zhang Wen's defeat, the imperial court might replace the main general and start a new campaign against the Liangzhou rebels.
