Cultivation in the starry sky

Chapter 497 The Great Victory
A night attack completely lowered the morale of the coalition forces of the Kwantung princes to the extreme.

Moreover, in this night's night attack, the army of the Kwantung princes lost at least one to two hundred thousand troops, almost one-fifth of the coalition forces.

Not to mention that it hurts muscles and bones, but it is also a serious injury.

What's more, they didn't have much to do against Dong Zhuo's night attack. Even if they were prepared, they couldn't stop Lu Bu's inhuman combat power.

At that time, once the opponent comes to attack again, they will still have to rely on their troops to stop them, but in this way, the losses will also increase.

So Yuan Shao and the others decided to withdraw their troops first after discussing with Chenliu, and waited for the fierce generals under their account to recover from their injuries before coming over to continue attacking Hulao Pass.

But here, in fact, some princes no longer have any hope for this in their hearts.Because they found that it was obviously very difficult to break through Hulao Pass.

Unless they desperately consume the soldiers under their account, relying on these soldiers to consume Dong Zhuo's troops, so as to forcefully break through Hulao Pass.

But in this way, some princes are obviously unwilling. After all, these are their lifelines. Even after they go back, they can continue to recruit part of the troops.

But certainly not as strong as this time.

Even some thoughtful princes seemed to find that Yuan Shao was constantly consuming their troops.

As a result, they became more cautious, and they no longer had the intention to continue attacking Hulao Pass. Now they only wanted to return to their own territory.

Therefore, when Yuan Shao and the others came to Hulao Pass for the second time, the princes at this moment only had an army of the Eighth Route Army, with a strength of only about 60.

Then there was nothing. Then, none of the original eighteen princes had broken through the Hulao pass. Of course, the remaining eight princes also failed.

So they all went back to their homes to find their mothers.

Of course this is all for later.

The night attack was successful, and Hulaoguan fell into a happy 'ocean' again.This time, Dong Zhuo started to open the banquet again.

And the hosts of this banquet became Lu Bu, Hua Xiong and the newcomers Xu Huang, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin and others.

As for Xiao Ziyu, he watched silently from the side.

Lu Bu can be regarded as the protagonist who has done his part. It can be said that he is the biggest hero in tonight's night attack. He was alone in the coalition camp, and he was even the first person to rush into the coalition camp.

Because his force drove the impact of the fifty thousand cavalry, the attack power of the fifty thousand cavalry was greatly enhanced.

This is also the main reason why they were able to cause the coalition forces to lose nearly 20 troops.

It can be said that Lu Bu is not to mention other things, but he is invincible in leading cavalry in battle in the whole world. This can be regarded as his talent.

Even Xiao Ziyu, who was present at the time, couldn't help the opponent's talent.

In this night's night attack, he saw with his own eyes that Lu Bu's ability to lead troops in battle was definitely the best under Dong Zhuo's account.

Hua Xiong is also a cavalry general, but he is still far behind Lu Bu.It can be said that Lu Bu led [-] Bingzhou iron cavalry, and the lethality is definitely several times that of Hua Xiong.

Moreover, after the night attack, Lu Bu's [-] Bingzhou iron cavalry only lost about one thousand, but Hua Xiong's Xiliang iron cavalry lost at least three or four thousand.

Of course, compared to the nearly 20 coalition forces, their damage is nothing at all.

However, it can be seen from here that Lu Bu is indeed the number one general under Dong Zhuo's account. No matter in terms of strength or ability to lead troops, no one else can compare.

As for Xiao Ziyu's strength is stronger than Lu Bu's, but Dong Zhuo and the others regard Xiao Ziyu more as a super-strength counselor.

No one has ever regarded him as a general. In fact, Xiao Ziyu has never thought of being a general.

Of course Lu Bu was the main hero tonight, Dong Zhuo didn't treat him badly, and directly rewarded him with thousands of taels of gold and several beauties.

As for the official rank, of course there is nothing to reward.Now the opponent has become the number one general under Dong Zhuo's account.

Of course, Lu Bu was rewarded, and Dong Zhuo did not forget the newcomers Xu Huang, Zhou Tai, and Jiang Qin. The performance of these three people tonight was also extremely good.

Especially Xu Huang and Dong Zhuo had already received the acceptance report. In tonight's night raid, the [-] cavalry led by him performed extremely well.

Compared with Hua Xiong, it is not bad at all.

And Dong Zhuo also knew that this person's strength was only a little bit worse than Hua Xiong's. If Hua Xiong hadn't broken through, the strength of the two of them might be about the same.

And Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were almost there.

The two of them also each brought [-] Xiliang iron cavalry. It has to be said that Dong Zhuo is still very courageous in this regard.

As soon as these three people came to vote, they each allocated [-] Xiliang iron cavalry to them. This is something that few princes can do.

You know, this Xiliang iron cavalry is Dong Zhuo's hometown.

Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin's performance was naturally worse than Xu Huang's.

Xiao Ziyu already knew this point before, anyway, Xu Huang is Cao Cao's five sons of good generals, and he has made many achievements under Cao Cao's command.

Throughout the Three Kingdoms era, he was also an extremely outstanding general.

As for Zhou Tai, he doesn't have the ability to lead troops in battle and command an army, but his force value is high, and he can be regarded as a general who rushes to kill in front of the formation.It can also act as a bodyguard.

This person is like Dianwei Xu Chu under Cao Cao's account.

Generally, they acted as the commander of Cao Cao's personal soldiers, but when attacking Lu Bu, the two of them of course acted as "thugs", a thug against Lu Bu.

The same is true for Zhou Tai this time, Yuan Shikong, he is under Sun Ce's account, it is the same.

Therefore, Dong Zhuo also attached great importance to him.Especially knowing that the opponent's force value is no less than Hua Xiong, he is even more happy.

He knew his bodyguard had finally arrived.

Originally, Lu Bu had been overqualified by him and acted as his 'bodyguard'. Li Ru had reminded him of this many times.

Later when Xiao Ziyu came, Dong Zhuo wanted Xiao Ziyu to be his bodyguard, but he felt embarrassed when he saw Xiao Ziyu dressed as a scribe and adviser.

Now he finally got a very suitable "bodyguard" fierce general for him, and his strength is still very strong.

Dong Zhuo directly made Zhou Tai the commander of his guards on the spot.

Dong Zhuo's trust caused Zhou Tai to be extremely shocked on the spot, and secretly decided in his heart that he must sacrifice his life to protect Dong Zhuo.

As for Dong Zhuo's reputation, to be honest, people like them who have turned into bandits don't care, what they care about is who and why they are reused.

And this point, Dong Zhuo directly expressed it.

You must know that the commander of the guards is not an ordinary person who can act as a commander. This is quite a trust and attention.

Zhou Tai was reused, and Jiang Qin and Dong Zhuo certainly did not let him go.

He learned from Xiao Ziyu that Jiang Qin was more capable of fighting in the navy, so he waved his hand and directly gave him the position of General Hengjiang, and asked him to set up a navy.

Now that he already has the ambition to dominate the world, he knows that the navy will be extremely important when attacking Jiangdong, Jingzhou and other places in the future.

When Jiang Qin heard that Dong Zhuo named him General Hengjiang, his eyes widened.

Although this General Hengjiang is just a general of a miscellaneous brand, but for him, who has turned into a bandit, he is simply a 'brilliant ancestor'.

So in an instant he was the same as Zhou Tai.

Seeing Dong Zhuo's actions, Xiao Ziyu also nodded secretly, as if he found that the other party had faintly stopped falling.

This point makes Xiao Ziyu even more happy. As long as he shows such a mind, to be honest, Xiao Ziyu doesn't think that anyone in the world can stop Dong Zhuo.

The power of Dong Zhuo now is just like that of Qin in the past. Dong Zhuo is the most powerful in the world, no matter in terms of military strength, generals or counselors, Dong Zhuo is not bad.

So Xiao Ziyu believed that within a few years, he would be able to defeat those princes one by one and win the world.

At that time, his purpose will be achieved.
