Three days later, Hulao Pass.

In the main hall of the Prefecture of Hulao Pass, Wang Fang is sitting on the upper hand. On the left are the generals under Wang Fang, and on the right are the generals headed by Zhang Chen, including Zhang Liao.

Now in Hulao Pass, Zhang Chen's 9,000 men plus the 2,000 officers and soldiers originally stationed here, as well as 10,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry brought by Wang Fang, and Lu Bu are returning to Hulao Pass one after another.

The number of troops blocked has reached 36,000.

In the melee, only a few dozen of Song Xian's 2,000 men were left, which can be said to be ignored. All of them were injured, most of them seriously. Song Xian himself also violated the law by leading troops without permission.

Song Xian was dismissed from his official position in violation of the military law and was placed under house arrest in Hulao Pass. If Zhang Chen hadn't tried his best to plead for mercy, Song Xian would have been beheaded long ago.

Zhang Liao's troops could also be ignored. They were surrounded by the Xiahou Yuan coalition forces of Wu'an State, and almost all of their 1,300 men were killed.

Zhang Chen's tribe also suffered a certain blow. When Yu Jin was surrounded by Lao Jiang Xu Huang, he was about to be captured alive. Unexpectedly, Xia Houyuan of Wu'an Kingdom, who had just retreated from Zhang Chen, suddenly came out. After rescuing Yu Jin, he joined Liu Dai and returned to Cao Cao.

Went there.

Zhang Chen's Xu Huang tribe lost more than 500 people, and Zhang Xiu's tribe also lost more than 400 people. Among the four battalions, only a few dozen people died. The Kuang camp had the most casualties, with more than 40 people dead, and the other three battalions followed.

Zhang Xiu made soy sauce, but the casualties were not serious.

Zhang Heng's two thousand infantry were placed in Hulao Pass and there were no casualties.

Among Lu Bu's 50,000 elite cavalrymen in Bingzhou, 7,000 were arranged to defend the front line in front of Hulao Pass, which was Zhang, Liao, Song, Xian and Wei Xu's troops.

After Lu Bu was broken through by Zhang He's Euphorbias, Hou Cheng of the rear army led his two thousand troops to break out, but Zhang He was like a nail, firmly nailed between Lu Bu and the rear army.

Hou Cheng had no choice but to occupy a hilltop and summoned the scattered troops of Lu Bu's army. There were more than 5,000 people in total. After Zhang He led the Euphorbia soldiers to march out, they suddenly rushed out to break through the defense line and rescue Lu Bu.

However, they were held on by the Allied forces defending there, and more than a thousand of their cavalry were killed, which was considered a heavy loss. In desperation, they had no choice but to retreat back to Hulao Pass.

Among the eight strong generals, Zang Ba was still in Xuzhou and did not join Lu Bu. Gao Shun was leading troops in Shangyong and contained Yuan Shu's troops. Zhang Liao and Song Xianhou Cheng returned to Hulao Pass. Wei Xu was also defeated by Zhang He's five thousand Euphorbia soldiers.

Besieged by the Yellow River, Lu Bu was left with only three generals: Cao Xingcheng, Lian Hao Meng.

The words are divided into two parts. Here at Hulao Pass, they are still discussing how to rescue Lu Bu and block the coalition forces that are already at the foot of Hulao Pass. Lu Bu is not having a good time there.

The allied forces in the middle, led by Cao Cao, pulled out 100,000 men and surrounded Lu Bu with their respective monarchs and generals as their respective ministries.

Cao Cao led another 10,000 reinforcements from his hometown Chenliu, including the original 30,000 troops. Puyang Prefect Zhang Miao had 20,000 troops, Guangling Prefect Zhang Chao had 5,000 troops, and Shanyang Prefect Yuan Yi had 5,000 troops. The two of them

All the soldiers were newly recruited. They had already suffered almost all casualties in Lu Bu's previous attack. The two families combined could only have 1,500 troops. Jiao He, the governor of Qingzhou, had 5,000 troops, Chen Wen, the governor of Yangzhou, had 5,000 troops, and Jibei had only 5,000 troops.

I believe Baoxin has 10,000 troops, and there are also small forces in the Central Plains such as Zhang Zi, the governor of Nanyang, who want to get a share of the pie. The total number is barely 100,000.

Among the 100,000 people, Cao Cao's troops were naturally the strongest. Cao Cao asked Xiahou Dun, Cao Hong, and Cao Chun to each lead 5,000 troops to surround Lu Bu. He led Le Jin, Li Dian, and a force of 15,000 troops to sit in the center.

.

Among other forces, Bao Xin's 10,000 troops can be considered a regular army. Although Zhang Miao has 20,000 troops, most of them are just farmers with hoes. There are also Zhang Chao, Yuan Yi and others. Their troops are larger than those during the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

Not much better, the real strength is hidden around himself or not brought out at all.

This is how long Lu Bu could last. Lu Bu was just cut off from the rear army. He had food and grass with him, and it was not enough so that he could bully Zhang Chao, Yuan Yi and other troops and steal some supplies.

Lu Bu has already assembled the besieged troops here. Cao Xing and other three generals have combined with more than 27,000 Bingzhou elite cavalry into one army.

Although the number of 100,000 troops was large, except for Cao Cao and a few other troops, there were also many casualties, and they did not gain much benefit.

They also want to delay time now. Yuan Shao's northern princes are powerful. The 15,000 men in the vanguard have already gathered at Hulao Pass, and the reinforcements from behind are constantly flowing, with at least 120,000 troops.
