Chapter 301 Nine Years of Wude(2/2)
More than half of the more than 3,000 cavalry were lost. The King of Qin himself was hit by several arrows, and his horses were replaced twice.
But he still rushed out.
When Li Hongyun received the news, he was not too surprised.
Immediately afterwards, he ordered to take advantage of the situation to launch an attack on Hulao Pass!
Due to the repulse of Liang Jun, the morale of Xia Army was greatly boosted. After the heavy losses of Xuanjia Army, the defensive power of Hulao Pass was also greatly weakened.
The 70,000-strong army launched a series of fierce attacks from nightfall to dawn, and continued into the afternoon.
During this period, each general took turns leading troops to attack, and then took turns coming down to rest and eat.
Finally, on the afternoon of the next day, Xia Jun succeeded in capturing Hulao Pass.
The King of Qin saw that nothing could be done and retreated with the elite Xuanjia Army.
The moment Li Hongyun ascended Hulao Pass, the huge ball of light wrapped in layers appeared in his field of vision again.
There was a crisp "pop" sound, and the first layer of obstacle avoidance was broken!
At the same time, everything around Li Hongyun stopped moving, the smiles on the soldiers' faces after their victory froze, and time seemed to stand still.
The second layer of black energy was revealed, waiting for Li Hongyun to touch it.
…
"Passed the level?"
Happiness came so suddenly, making Li Hongyun feel a little unreal.
But if you think about it carefully, when the script he planned reaches the point where King Qin cannot enter the battle, the outcome has already been determined.
As for the King of Qin being able to hold on for two days with the remaining Xuanjia Army and the original surrender of Hulao Pass, it is already quite outrageous.
If it had been any other general, Hulao Pass would have been breached as soon as the field battle ended.
In this battle, Li Hongjuan actually defeated the King of Qin.
Judging from the situation at this time, the next trend is actually easy to predict.
Hulao Pass was lost, and Dou Jiande's army was able to move to Luoyang City.
No matter how hard the King of Qin could fight, the only way at this time was to retreat.
Because the city of Luoyang has not yet been captured, it is impossible for Liang Jun to divide his troops to fight against Dou Jiande's army in the field.
If you do that, although Wang Shichong in the city is already frightened, he will definitely come out of the city and attack from both sides.
At that time, Liang Jun's military strength will be at an absolute disadvantage and there will be no danger to defend, so it is absolutely impossible to win.
However, Liang Jun retreated, and it was difficult for Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong to pursue the victory and expand the results.
The subsequent situation is most beneficial to Dou Jiande.
Dou Jiande can continue to command Liu Heitai to seize the entire land east of Hedong, while he can try to swallow Wang Shichong, occupy Luoyang and continue westward to confront Liang Jun in front of Tongguan.
Taking advantage of the pressure from both directions of Hedong and Luoyang, try to pin Liang Jun in Guanzhong and prevent him from leaving eastward.
Of course, this is the most ideal situation.
Hedong can be regarded as the base camp of Liang Jun. King Qin will definitely rescue Hedong as soon as possible after returning to the army. At that time, the two sides will most likely be fighting in Hedong for a long time.
Liang Jun's overall strength is indeed higher than Xia Jun's, so the future situation is still far from optimistic.
Moreover, Dou Jiande came from a humble background in Hebei Province and basically did not get much support from the nobles, while Liang Jun was just the opposite.
Generally speaking, even if he wins the Battle of Hulao Pass, Dou Jiande's chances of winning are still not too great.
Unless he can maintain the same level of cheating and predicting the future that Li Hongyun does today in every subsequent battle, that is obviously impossible.
However, if such a future comes true, it will be a huge tragedy for the entire China.
Because the Turks in the north are still watching with eager eyes, if the King of Qin cannot quickly unify in a short period of time and devote his strength to deal with the Turks, he will continue to have internal conflicts with Dou Jiande...
So once the window period of Turkic weakness is missed, it will be difficult to destroy the Turks in the future.
…
Li Hongyun briefly analyzed the possible future situation and decided not to think too much about it.
According to the development of this script, there are too many variables, and it is useless to think about it.
Perhaps a few months after the King of Qin returned to Guanzhong, he fought another magical war and killed Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande together.
In short, after clearing this stage, Li Hongyun did not have much information about defeating King Qin.
Logically speaking, winning the Battle of Hulao Pass should be something to be proud of, but what impressed Li Hongyun the most was the cheating figure of King Qin on the battlefield.
To be fair, Li Hongyun's victory was somewhat devoid of martial ethics.
To defeat King Qin, you need to meet the following points at the same time.
First, he could predict that his 100,000-strong army would be pierced by thousands of King Qin's troops, so he divided his troops to attack Hedong;
Second, he can directly dig out famous generals such as Liu Heita and Su Dingfang from many deceitful generals;
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
Third, you can master many details on the battlefield, such as holding on to the grain road in advance, going to the north bank of the Yellow River to stop Liang Jun from releasing his horses, forming a chariot formation in the camp to block the Qin King's cavalry, etc.
In real history, all this information is obscured by fog.
Without these, Li Hongyun had no doubt that he would probably be like Dou Jiande, who was suddenly defeated by the King of Qin because of an oversight that he was not aware of.
"I wonder who will have the nerve to call me a cheater in the future. Compared with the real cheaters in history, I am nothing..."
The most profound impression on Li Hongyun was that fighting against King Qin was completely different from fighting against others.
When playing against other famous players, Li Hongyun felt at best that the opponent's lineup was solid and impeccable.
But when fighting against King Qin, Li Hongyun always felt a thorn in his back. He couldn't tell where the opponent was strong. He only knew that an unexpected oversight might lead to him being defeated directly.
This suffocating sense of oppression may be the strength of King Qin...
…
After calming down a little, Li Hongyun came into contact with the second layer of black energy again.
The scene in front of him changed rapidly, and a line of handwriting appeared in front of Li Hongyun.
