Two days later, Yuan Shao and others also led an army to Luoyang City.
This is different from history.
A very important factor is that Liu Bei's speed is too fast.
It didn't take long for an army of more than 100,000 and nearly 200,000 troops to arrive at the gates of Luoyang City.
If Yuan Shao and the others were still behind the scenes, the reputation of defeating Dong Zhuo and saving the emperor would all fall on Liu Bei.
How is this possible?
In Yuan Shao's heart, he can not want it, but others cannot want it either.
If they all belong to Liu Bei, wouldn't he, the leader of the alliance, be making wedding clothes for others?
Absolutely not.
Therefore, this time, Cao Cao was distraught and hundreds of thousands of allied troops arrived at the gates of Luoyang City.
At this time, the two sides joined forces and almost half a million troops besieged Luoyang.
It was really overwhelming.
This is a real army of 500,000, unlike the fictional ones in the novel.
An army of 10,000 dares to be called a hundred thousand, and an army of 300,000 dares to be called 800,000.
When Yuan Shao rushed to the foot of Luoyang City, he saw that Luoyang City had not yet been destroyed, and he felt relieved.
Good guy, hurry up and hurry up. If Liu Bei is allowed to enter the city first, Yuan Shao said that he would rather eat flies.
The two armies joined forces, ascended to the central military tent, and everyone took their seats.
Yuan Shao first opened his mouth to demonstrate Liu Bei's bravery. He broke through Sishui Pass with his troops and surrounded Luoyang first, preventing Dong Zhuo from escaping.
Of course, he said this as the leader of the alliance.
Later, Yuan Shao asked: "Xuan De Gong, why haven't we conquered Luoyang yet? The emperor is now in danger, and we are all in danger."
It's just that the members of the aristocratic family are extremely skilled in this skill.
Obviously we don't want Liu Bei to advance to Luoyang, but now it's better to hold Liu Bei accountable.
Liu Bei smiled calmly at this: "The city of Luoyang is deep, has a defensive formation, and the Xiliang army is brave, so it was difficult to capture it for a while, which disappointed the princes."
Liu Bei's attitude directly made Yuan Shao hit him empty-handed.
Liu Bei directly admitted that he couldn't do it.
What else can you do?
To accuse Liu Bei?
Yuan Shao didn't dare either.
You must know that the princes on Liu Bei's side have their hearts with Liu Bei. Including Liu Bei's own Jingzhou Army, there are 200,000 troops.
The main force of the coalition army is only about 300,000 troops.
It looks like a difference of 100,000.
In fact, it’s hard to say who has the stronger fighting ability.
The cavalry Gongsun Zan brought were all cavalry, and they were cavalry that had been fighting against the barbarians all year round. Needless to say, they were very effective in combat.
Liu Bei's Jingzhou Army is not someone to be trifled with. Jingzhou has been busy fighting in recent years, and all of them are veterans who have killed many people.
Coupled with Jingzhou's army construction and Chen Yuan's participation, the combat effectiveness is already higher than that of ordinary armies.
Therefore, once a fight breaks out, Liu Bei will most likely kill them.
Yuan Shao would only really punish Liu Bei if he was mentally retarded. He just wanted to make Liu Bei sick.
Seeing that Liu Bei was not disgusted, Yuan Shao himself was disgusted.
Fortunately, Yuan Shao has someone to save him.
Cao Cao hurriedly said: "Leader of the Alliance, Deputy Leader of the Alliance, our current plan is to think about how to break Luoyang and rescue the Emperor. Other things are not important."
What Cao Cao said was reasonable and was unanimously agreed by everyone present.
No matter how scheming they are, they have all reached the gates of Luoyang City and surrounded Dong Zhuo in Luoyang. The last step is just to break through Luoyang, kill Dong Zhuo, and save the emperor.
Once this is done, everyone here will gain a lot of benefits.
There are not only explicit benefits, but also invisible political benefits.
Therefore, everyone agreed: "What Meng De said is true. We should discuss how to break Luoyang and rescue the emperor."
Yuan Shao couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
Immediately, he followed what everyone said and started to say: "I wonder if you have any good ideas to defeat Luoyang?"
Luoyang is not that easy to attack.
This is different from history.
Because this is a fantasy world.
The protective ability of Luoyang City is very powerful.
When it was built back then, it was built with the strength to withstand an army of millions.
The city defense formations are very complex and powerful. After Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, he also mastered Luoyang's city defense formations.
This is called the Nine-Nine Black Turtle Formation anyway.
That's right, it's named after the Luoshui Black Turtle.
During the reign of Dayu, a magical turtle emerged from the Luo River in Luoning County, west of Luoyang, carrying "Luo Shu" on its back and dedicated it to Dayu.
Dayu succeeded in controlling the floods based on this, and then divided the world into Kyushu.
This formation is named after Luoshui Xuangui, which means that it can connect Luoshui and Jiuzhou earth energy as the energy source of the formation, and want to break it.
Without an army of millions, it is impossible to even think about it.
Of course, this is when Luoyang City is united as one.
But in today's Luoyang City, no matter where the people are united, they all have their own agendas.
Including the generals of the Xiliang Army.
At this time, they also had countless thoughts in their minds.
Yuan Shao asked everyone if they had any ideas, that is, they had no ideas.
Siege is nothing more than hard attack and soft attack.
A hard attack means sending out soldiers directly and the siege is over.
Soft attack means using various strategies. To put it bluntly, it means attacking the heart.
However, as for the psychological attack, everyone said they had no idea.
Then we can only attack hard.
Therefore, the brutal siege began.
This time, Liu Bei temporarily refused to attack the city together on the grounds that his troops were too seriously damaged.
Just kidding, Liu Bei already had a plan to break the city.
Now it's just a matter of consuming the strength of these princes.
Yuan Shao didn't care either. After all, Liu Bei had indeed attacked the city for two days before, and they also saw many corpses, indicating that Liu Bei had been working hard to attack the city in the past two days.
We can't just let Liu Bei contribute.
As a result, the main force of the coalition forces began to send troops to attack the city.
The siege battle was extremely cruel. First, the soul monks on the coalition side cast various spells, in short, to add BUFF.
After adding BUFF, first use a wave of spell attacks, and then let the soldiers gather into a formation and begin to attack Luoyang's guardian formation.
Luoshui Black Turtle Array.
The Luoshui Black Turtle Formation is very powerful in defense, but it also needs soldiers to support it.
Otherwise, relying solely on the Qi of Luoshui and Jiuzhou will have very serious consequences.
Don't say Dong Zhuo didn't dare. Even if he did, Li Ru and Jia Xu wouldn't dare either.
That means you don’t want to live anymore, and you will be punished by God.
However, using a small amount as a source of energy for the magic circle is not a big problem.
The main thing is to rely on the soldiers in the city.
Fortunately, Dong Zhuo now also nominally controls these hundreds of thousands of troops. After they are put in place, he is not afraid of the coalition forces attacking the city for a while.
Therefore, the siege came to a stalemate, and many people from the coalition forces and the Xiliang army died every day.
About two thousand people died every day on the coalition side, and four to five hundred people died on the Xiliang army side.
The death ratio is one to four to five.
It doesn't seem like a lot, but as time goes by, the number of people increases.
After ten days, both parties couldn't stand it anymore.
Adding up to ten days, the number of people who died was quite high.
Therefore, they all desperately hope to change the situation of the war.
