What group are you guys?

Chapter 90 Notorious
"Report! The gates of Hulao Pass are wide open, and a large number of troops are being assembled!"

In the camp of the coalition of princes, the princes who were drinking and having fun were stunned when they heard the news. Lu Bu actually dared to open the door and come out to fight. Is he mentally ill?
The real battlefield is cruel and boring. For example, now, most of the coalition forces are resting, with only a small number of troops blocking the front, while some soldiers with skills similar to engineers are building siege equipment.

There were hundreds of thousands of troops, and the camps alone stretched for more than ten miles. So for the sake of their own safety, the various princes basically lived in the rear, far away from the army.

Of course, the safety here does not mean staying in the camp for fear of assassination or enemy raids, but because no one wants to be stinked to death!
There is no other way. With hundreds of thousands of soldiers, even if they only relieve themselves once a day, they can urinate into a swimming pool. So the smell inside the camp can be imagined by anyone who has used an open-air toilet in an uninhabited area.

China has been a country of etiquette since ancient times. Naturally, it is impossible for it to be like the shit city Paris. After all, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, normal people knew that stuff was poisonous. The famous defensive weapon on the city wall was gold juice!

Just think about it, you are ready to rush to the city wall to attack, but then a bucket of boiling gold pours down from above. Not to mention the physical damage, the magical and mental damage alone is too much for most people to bear!

What's even more cruel is that this thing is poisonous. For ordinary soldiers, soaking the arrowhead in gold juice and then shooting it is definitely the simplest and cheapest way to poison.

"It seems that Lu Bu is desperate!"

The Skeleton King Yuan Shu was very dissatisfied that his banquet was disrupted, so he spoke directly.

"Explore again!"

Yuan Shao behaved better than Yuan Shu and gave instructions to the scouts.

No one was afraid of Lu Bu's surprise attack because the opponent did not have the conditions for a surprise attack.

Don't be fooled by the numerous examples in history of defeating the larger force with the smaller one or raiding a camp by surprise. That's because there are only dozens or hundreds of such examples in the past five thousand years, which makes people feel as if hard power is not important in fighting.

Just like there are always people who see others getting rich from the stock market boom, who would care about those fools who are heavily in debt and are heading to the rooftops?

The coalition forces had made sufficient preparations for the battle with Lu Bu in recent days. Not only was Hulao Pass guarded by elite soldiers, but simple chevaux de frise and fences were also set up, so it could be said that it was foolproof.

Don't underestimate the power of the wooden fence. It is enough to block the first wave of cavalry's attack!

Wooden logs as thick as thighs were placed in a row. Even Lu Bu would have a hard time destroying the fence while resisting the spears and arrows from the opposite side.

"Keep the music going and keep dancing! Keep going!"

Yuan Shu stood up and prepared to liven up the atmosphere. After all, he wouldn't stop the banquet just for a mere Lu Bu, right?

"Highway, let's go take a look ahead. Lu Bu shouldn't be doing useless work!"

Cao Cao stood up and persuaded Yuan Shu.

When Boss Cao was a child, he was known as the Three Prostitutes of Luoyang together with Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao. Although his family background was far inferior to that of the Yuan family, he was at least qualified to be in the same class. In addition, the three of them had a friendship of prostitutes together. At this moment, they could still be considered good friends.

"What catches your eyes!"

Yuan Shu muttered with some disdain. If someone else said this, he would definitely retort, but since it was Cao Cao, he had to at least give him some face.

"Meng De is right. Although Lu Bu is not to be feared, if we can kill him in this battle, then we can directly send troops to Luoyang to attack the traitor Dong Zhuo!" Yuan Shao, as the leader of the alliance, began to speak at this time, saying that Dong Zhuo must be captured alive and then executed by slow slicing, so as to live up to the loyalty and bravery of his entire Yuan family.

Ok!

Cao Cao and Yuan Shu both curled their lips helplessly after hearing this. Why did the whole Yuan family be chopped off? How could you not know if others didn't know? What are you pretending for?

However, it would be better if everyone knew this in their hearts. If they said it out loud, let alone Cao Cao, even if Yuan Huai was resurrected, Yuan Shao would definitely kill him on the grounds that he was an impostor.

A group of people, escorted by personal soldiers, marched toward the viewing platform in front of the army, which was a platform built of wood and about tens of meters high!

There was no other way. There were no telescopes at that time. If one wanted to see the battle situation in the distance, one had to either wait for the scouts to report or go up on stage to watch.

After all, even primitive people would understand the most basic principle that the higher you stand, the farther you can see.

After this group of people came onto the stage, Lu Bu's troops were finally gathered.

Although the gate of Hulao Pass looks very wide and large, in fact, it is difficult for eight people to walk side by side at a time.

You have to know that these are eight fully armed soldiers, not only wearing leather armor but also holding weapons in their hands. It is naturally impossible for them to be crowded.

The first rule of military strategy is that troops must move in and out in an orderly manner. If they are in a disorganized mess, they are a mob and are of no use at all except to improve one's military record.

This time, Lu Bu mobilized a total of 8,000 soldiers and horses, plus 3,000 elite soldiers under Dong Bai, a total of more than 10,000 people. It took more than half an hour just to pass through, which gave all the princes enough time to rush to the viewing platform.

While Lu Bu was organizing his troops, the princes were naturally not idle either. Although all the bosses were drinking and chatting in the back, the people working under them were still organizing their troops and preparing for defense as soon as possible.

At this time, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had changed from horse archers to Jieconghu Ben, that is, from privates to lieutenants, and each of them had about dozens of younger brothers under his command.

Don't think that this official position is small. To be honest, if they were not needed to resist Lu Bu, they would not even be able to get the status of lieutenant.

Why was Jia Xu willing to worship Li Qingyuan as his lord? It was because under normal circumstances it was impossible to get ahead by relying on one's own abilities!
It is only in recent decades, because of the intervention of great men, that many people have developed the illusion that as long as they have the ability, they can succeed. In fact, not to mention in ancient times, even if you look at the neighboring countries, you will find that many countries still follow the Nine-Rank System.

"Who is that person now?"

Looking at Li Qingyuan, who was riding a horse with Lu Bu at the front of the team, Cao Cao asked curiously.

Originally, he thought that Lu Bu was the most handsome man in the world, but he didn't expect that he would meet someone more handsome than Lu Bu. This is simply unbelievable!

Well, the main reason is that Li Qingyuan’s armor is so beautiful. The armor worn by Lu Bu can never compare to modern handicrafts, right?

"I heard that this official was chosen by the old villain Dong Zhuo as a son-in-law for his granddaughter. It is said that this official is extremely evil and accompanies the old villain Dong Zhuo in committing debauchery in the palace every day. It is really enviable - and infuriating!"

Wow! The news dissemination network of the noble families is really fast these days. Li Qingyuan himself didn't know that his reputation has become so famous now.
