I still have to lead my troops to fight tomorrow, and I can't faint again at this time.
Fortunately, after Liu Zhaoqing's eyes turned white, he woke up again feeling refreshed and without any severe pain.
"call……"
With a sigh of relief, Liu Zhaoqing got up from the couch.
"Compared to this 'device spirit', I suddenly feel that Yinglong is easier to communicate with."
Liu Zhaoqing murmured, looked out of the tent, and found that it was already dawn.
After putting on their armor, Xun Yu, Zhao Yun and others also came into the tent to meet Liu Zhaoqing.
"My lord, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and other princes have already gathered. Our Yellow Turban Army is also ready and we are just waiting for your order." Zhao Yun bowed to Liu Zhaoqing and said.
Liu Zhaoqing nodded, then looked at Xun Yu.
"Feng Xiao and his wife are already in the carriage. The logistics and supplies have been arranged. Jia Xu will be here soon. Gao Shun should be beside Wen Yuan now."
"In that case, time is of the essence. Let's go."
Liu Zhaoqing climbed onto a warhorse brought by his men, and then led Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and others out of the camp.
Soon they met Liu, Guan and Zhang. Zhang Fei waved and greeted Liu Zhaoqing enthusiastically. The joy on her face was obvious because she was finally going to have a head-on battle.
Then Liu Zhaoqing met Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. After nodding to them, Liu Zhaoqing's team formed a three-section coalition force with the two's teams.
"I wish the leader a successful start!"
"This time, the leader will definitely be able to take down Dong Zhuo in one fell swoop and take Luoyang directly!"
"Under the leadership of the leader and deputy leader, we will leave our names in history!"
……
With the blessings and farewells of a group of princes, some sincere or some false, the coalition forces led by Liu Zhaoqing headed towards Hulao Pass.
Less than half a minute later, the dark pass between the mountain passes came into view.
The last time they came here was to rescue the vanguard troops. At that time, Lu Bu was far away on the city wall where they could not see and shot a series of arrows.
Now, Liu Zhaoqing saw that the gate of the pass was closed and there was no trace of Lu Bu on the city wall.
The army soon arrived at Hulao Pass.
Liu Zhaoqing raised his right hand, and the general beside him immediately signaled the person holding the flag to raise the flag, sending a "stop" signal, thus stopping the army from moving forward.
Then Liu Zhaoqing looked towards the city wall, and saw a general whom Liu Zhaoqing did not recognize.
"Liu Zhaoqing, get out of here! Otherwise, when the Prime Minister invites the evil spirit to punish you, your army will be nothing but ants!"
The general shouted from the city wall.
Of course Liu Zhaoqing would not be frightened by such threats and stretched out his hand. This time Zhao Yun on the side immediately understood and handed the bow and arrow on his horse to him.

Holding an arrow on the bowstring, Liu Zhaoqing calculated the landing point in his mind and slowly raised the arrow that was dazzling under the morning sun.
This time, Liu Zhaoqing did not borrow the strength of Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun, nor did he even use the power of the human book. He relied entirely on his own physique to pull the bow to its full strength.
As a dull sound of breaking through the air was heard, the horses of the generals beside Liu Zhaoqing swayed in panic, and the arrows shot straight into the sky under the gaze of Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and others.
The arrow drew a nearly perfect semi-arc and landed swiftly and accurately on the tower of Hulao Pass.
The general who was originally shouting on the city wall was so frightened when he saw the arrow coming so fast and straight at his crown that his eyes widened and he shouted around in panic.
"Quick! Raise your shield! Raise your shield!!"
He was just making a routine mockery, and he never expected that Liu Zhaoqing would draw his bow and shoot an arrow when he disagreed with him.
Moreover, this arrow was so accurate and powerful that it was somewhat similar to General Lu.
If he had known this earlier, he would have just kept quiet and stood on the city wall waiting for Xu Rong and other great generals to come. Why did he have to be the first to take action?
But what made him feel fortunate was that although Liu Zhaoqing's arrow seemed powerful, there was no trace of divine power on the arrow.
Liu Zhaoqing seemed to be relying purely on brute force to pull the bow, which means that this arrow could be blocked by an ordinary shield.
Just when he was congratulating himself for his quick reaction and being able to dodge the arrow safely, he suddenly noticed a dazzling white light out of the corner of his eye.
Looking up slightly, he was horrified to find a long spear rushing towards the top of the city wall from below with unmatched force.
"boom!"
The spears hit the towers and the splashing bricks and stones plus the generated air waves caused the soldiers who were holding shields to fall to the ground one after another.
The general also sat down on the ground. Before he could feel lucky for the opponent's missed shot, a chill rushed down from the top of his head the next second.
As a streak of blood flowed down from around his eyes, his vision began to gradually blur.
"The general was killed! The general was killed!"
The soldiers on the city wall were in chaos, and the army outside Hulao Pass saw it all.
"The leader's arrow is so accurate, his ability to shoot with a bow is better than that of Flying General Li Guang." Someone beside him praised.
Liu Zhaoqing put away his bow and shook his head slightly. "If it weren't for Zilong's help, this arrow would have gone to waste."
"Zhao Yun's courage is indeed unparalleled." Cao Cao also said with a smile, "But the more important thing is that she is so pleasing to you. I envy you that you have such a good general."
After handing the bow to Zhao Yun, Liu Zhaoqing looked towards the tower again and said, "That man should be just an ordinary guard at Hulao Pass. Killing him would only dampen his prestige."
"Move the siege engines forward and prepare to attack the city."
Cao Cao stopped joking at this time, turned around and nodded to Cao Chun. The army split into several roads, and three siege vehicles slowly pushed forward from the rear.
At this time, Liu Zhaoqing also asked Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and others to lead the archers and continue shooting arrows at the city wall.
Seeing that the battering ram was moving so smoothly and the coalition forces were all delighted, a tiger roar suddenly sounded from the top of the Hulao Pass tower.
Immediately afterwards, Liu Zhaoqing saw a general with a resolute face holding a big knife in his hand, using his divine power to suppress a large number of arrows, and then commanding the soldiers on the city wall to start a counterattack.
He knew that general Liu Zhaoqing, and they had even fought against each other before.
It was Dong Zhuo's general Xu Rong.
Seeing Xu Rong's arrival, a large number of arrows under his command were pouring towards the siege troops below. If this continued, the siege troops would definitely suffer heavy casualties.
Cao Cao beside Liu Zhaoqing finally took action at this time. She raised her right hand, and Xiahou Yuan beside her smiled and pulled the bow to its full length.
As the arrows with dazzling and deep blue light shot towards the city wall in a straight line, Xu Rong on the city wall immediately ordered all archers to retreat.
This blow directly destroyed half of the tower.
The siege team below also advanced a long distance smoothly.
Under the cover of Xiahou Yuan, the siege team quickly arrived at the gate of the pass.
The heavy iron gate was tightly closed, and there were even extremely thick fortifications behind the city gate that they could not see. The gate in front of them was like an iron mountain, firmly occupying the front of them and could not be shaken at all.
When the siege ram was pulled in front of the city gate, the huge battering ram was facing the city gate.
"Collide!"
With the order given, the noise caused by the battering ram colliding with the city gate of Hulao Pass made the coalition forces and Dong Zhuo's army in front of and behind the gate feel tinnitus and dizziness.
Despite such a huge commotion, the city gate did not loosen at all.
The siege ram continued to ram the city gate. Xu Rong had already begun to order his soldiers to prepare rockets and continue to intensify the offensive towards the siege team below. This would not only reduce the manpower, but also ignite the burning wooden siege ram.
Generals such as Xiahou Dun would not allow the other side to intensify their offensive. Like Xiahou Yuan, the generals beside Cao Cao either drew their bows and shot arrows, or used their divine power to help Xiahou Yuan shoot arrows at the city wall faster, more powerfully and more accurately.
For a moment, Xu Rong was unable to stick his head out, but Cao Cao did not show any joy.
Instead, he frowned and said, "The city gate is difficult to break. If we are delayed until Dong Zhuo's army in Luoyang comes to support us, or even if Dong Zhuo's generals such as Lu Bu come back, it will be even more difficult to attack the city."
Those guarding the pass certainly don't need to be in a hurry, but Liu Zhaoqing can't afford to delay at all. The slower they go, the slimmer their chances of success.
Just as Liu Zhaoqing was frowning and thinking about how to break the impasse, Liu Bei beside him suddenly looked stunned.
"Yide, you go!"
"Me?" Zhang Fei was initially confused when he was called over. "Big sister, do you want me to fly to the tower? This... even my third sister can't do it."
"Not to the city tower, but in front of the city gate." After Liu Bei finished speaking, Guan Yu was also stunned.
"Yide, let's go help the battering ram break the door."
After Guan Yu understood, he rode his horse away from the main force and rushed straight to the Hulao Pass gate which was filled with arrow fire.
The next moment, Zhang Fei understood Liu Bei's plan.
He then followed Guan Yu towards the city gate.
When the two generals arrived in front of the city wall, Guan Yu dismounted and placed his crescent-shaped sword directly against the gate.
Her eyes were cold, and she used all her strength in her arms, pouring all her power into the crescent-shaped sword in her hand, which was then transferred to the city gate.
With her full strength, the heavy city gate opened a little, but it was only so slight that only a hair's width could pass through.
But it is this point that gives everyone hope.
"Wide!"
As Guan Yu shouted, Zhang Fei, who had arrived late, holding a snake spear, laughed loudly: "Look at me smashing this broken iron door!"
Zhang Fei certainly knew that using his weapon to smash the city gate directly would be ineffective and might even injure the soldiers around him.
She dismounted and placed her snake spear directly against the battering ram. She then used the huge battering ram's battering ram to exert her immense force and drove the battering ram straight into the city gate.
"boom!!"
An ordinary battering ram couldn't withstand such a blow and fell apart immediately.
The gap on the city gate also expanded from the size of a hair to a size large enough for a little finger to pass through.
This also means that this method is completely feasible.
"Come again!"
Zhang Fei was delighted when he saw this, and immediately shouted behind him: "Bring the chariots here!"
The soldiers around immediately worked together to pick up the damaged battering ram and pull it out, and a new battering ram was immediately put in place to replace it.
What followed was a repetition of the action. This time, Zhang Fei used even greater force, and the battering ram was still destroyed by her with one hit.
But the gap in the city gate also expanded from the thickness of a little finger to the thickness of two fingers.
When the third and final battering ram arrived, Zhang Fei shouted and helped the battering ram crash into the city gate.
Guan Yu, who had been leaning against the door, suddenly felt the door freeze for a moment, and then the feeling that had been blocking him disappeared instantly.
The heavy city gate was blasted open at this moment. With the concerted efforts of Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, Xiahou Yuan and others outside, Hulao Pass was breached in less than two hours.
"Okay! Okay!!"
When the scenery behind the city gate came into the sight of the people in the alliance for the first time, many soldiers showed excitement.
Liu Zhaoqing also breathed a sigh of relief at this time. The city gate was successfully breached without too much difficulty.
"All troops, listen up! Move forward and take down Hulao Pass!"
Raising his sword and giving an order, Liu Zhaoqing personally led Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and the cavalry troops forward.
Cao Cao on the side followed closely behind. Without any accident, Liu Zhaoqing successfully entered Hulao Pass.
The defenders inside the pass were being besieged by the coalition forces. There was originally a part of the battle area where the coalition forces and Dong Zhuo's troops inside the pass were still evenly matched.
But when Liu Zhaoqing and his troops joined in, the situation turned into a one-sided massacre.
In less than half a minute, the coalition forces completely captured Hulao Pass.
Standing on the street inside Hulao Pass, Liu Zhaoqing looked around. At this time, Yuan Shao, Liu Bei and others were also walking towards him from different directions.
The two noticed that Liu Zhaoqing still did not look celebrating or relaxed at this time, but was still in deep thought.
"We've already captured Hulao Pass, what is Zhao Qing still thinking about?" Yuan Shao asked curiously.
"The Hulao Pass, which is said to be unbreakable and can imprison tigers and trap dragons, was taken down by us so easily." Liu Zhaoqing said softly, "It seems a little too easy."
"We are incredibly fast and Dong Zhuo's army has no time to react. Besides, there is no Lu Bu among the defenders. So this speed is normal, right?" Liu Bei said.
"Yes, this is also thanks to Zhao Qing's previous guerrilla warfare against Dong Zhuo, which not only weakened his troops but also injured Lu Bu. The effect of that battle is still being shown now."
Liu Zhaoqing pondered for a moment and nodded slightly, as if he agreed with their explanations.
