At Hulao Pass, when the troops and horses of the four northern princes are all added up, the total has reached 300,000 troops. If the farmers responsible for transporting food are also added, this million-strong army can be said to be no exaggeration. !
An army of 300,000 princes was stationed in front of Hulao Pass with great momentum. The morale of the princes' coalition forces was very high at this time. Gein and the others had just arrived and had already won a great victory and captured Li Xiang. Most of Hanoi.
Although Li Xiang chose to give up the Hanoi territory strategically for the purpose of strategic defense, the alliance of princes directly regarded it as a fear of war and fled to publicize it. While boosting their own morale, it was also to attack Li Xiang. Xiang's morale.
Therefore, Li Xiang could no longer let things go like this at this time, and must break the rumor of fleeing in fear of fighting. And the best way to break it is naturally to use the blood of the enemy!
Moreover, it had been nearly a month before the troops of these four princes gathered at Hulao Pass. However, during this month, they did not launch an attack rashly. Instead, they unified and integrated their troops. Soldiers.
After all, although 300,000 troops may seem like a lot, in the end they come from different forces, and cooperation between them will definitely be a big problem.
After integration, this problem will not be completely solved, but at least it will be effectively improved, which will definitely effectively improve the actual combat effectiveness of these 300,000 troops.
Even from this aspect, Li Xiang can't wait any longer. He must take the initiative to create some momentum, and cannot let his soldiers and horses from the princes silently do their own things here.
Otherwise, when these princes have almost integrated their troops and horses, and when the combat effectiveness of these 300,000 troops has increased, this battle will be even more difficult. beated.
"Report! Report to the leader of the alliance that Jin rebel Li Xiang personally led the generals of the Jin army and a thousand cavalry outside the camp gate, inviting the leader to meet him."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was in an uproar.
No one expected that Li Xiang would dare to come to his door. Isn't he afraid that Yuan Shao would take him down directly?
You know, they have gathered 300,000 troops here, and according to what the captain just said, Li Xiang only has a thousand cavalry beside him now.
Among the four princes in Hebei, only Yuan Shao was present in person.
The most important thing is that among the four princes, Yuan Shao also used the most troops and horses.
Therefore, Yuan Shao still unceremoniously served as the leader of the Northern Alliance.
Speaking of which, Yuan Shao was basically the leader of the various alliances between princes before and after this. This has almost become Yuan Shao's exclusive position.
Except for a few people, in this big tent, the generals under several princes could not help but whisper, whisper and discuss at this time. Many people frowned, obviously not understanding what Li Xiang was thinking.
Yuan Shao looked at Cui Hao, the chief advisor next to him, and saw Cui Hao nodding towards him. Yuan Shao understood and smiled lightly: "Is this Li Zifeng so courageous? Or does it mean that he doesn't take the generals in his eyes? Everyone, Are you willing to go with me, leader, to meet this Li Zifeng?"
There were many new people present, and even among the old people, few had actually seen Li Xiang. Only a few generals who survived the Huang Jing Rebellion and Dong Zhuo's Rebellion might have seen him in person. I have seen Li Xiang’s style.
Therefore, most of these generals are still very curious about Li Xiang and want to see if Li Zifeng, the first prince who makes everyone in the world live under his shadow, has three heads and six arms like the legend!
Among these generals, except for a few reckless men who really have no brains at all, most of them, although they disdain Li Zifeng, do so to avoid damaging their own morale. , in reality, they are definitely very cautious and even admire Li Xiang in their hearts.
The achievements that Li Xiang has made now were not brought about by strong winds, but by his true efforts with one sword and one gun.
The majesty of the Jin army was also forged by the numerous bones beneath their iron hooves.
Therefore, at this time, all the generals stood up and said in unison: "I am willing to accompany the leader."
Outside the coalition camp, Li Xiang led a thousand cavalry and waited alone here.
The camp formed by the 300,000-strong coalition was even half the size of the city of Luoyang. When viewed from above, it looked like a giant beast from the wild, while the thousand cavalry in front of the formation were like a small raindrop. So small.
Camping is based on combat organization, with strategic arrangements and tactical requirements.
If the camp is well established, victory will be assured.
The camp is the base camp, so when fighting, home cannot be ignored. Setting up camp is definitely a "technical activity", and it is also the most basic "technical activity". But many times, it is these most basic things that test a person's ability the most.
Now Li Xiang is a commander-in-chief of hundreds, and Li Xiang does not conquer the world purely by relying on his subordinates. Outside of every battle, there are actually arrangements made by Li Xiang secretly. Therefore, Li Xiang's ability is definitely real.
Today's Li Xiang, in terms of personal ability, even if he faces anyone in the world, he is absolutely confident that he will not lose to him!
However, stationed outside the coalition camp, although he could not see the substantive things inside, Li Xiang had not found any exploitable flaws for the time being.
"That's all, this time the coalition forces still have something to offer!" Li Xiang said with a helpless smile in his heart.
Although he had already guessed that this time he would definitely be attacked by the princes of the world, but the intensity of the attack by the princes of the world still made him somewhat surprised.
Especially the list of the princes' coalition troops sent back from the Floating Water Room this time. Many of them gave even Li Xiang a headache and had to force Li Xiang to use 120% of his strength to deal with it.
Even Li Xiang was unable to transfer Shi Gandang, who had conquered Shu, back to Jingbei. As a cavalry commander, Zhao Yun was also transferred back to the Sizhou front line by Li Xiang.
"Lord! The enemy troops have left the camp!" While waiting nervously, Kong Xuan beside him suddenly spoke at this time.
