Guan Hai did not expect the final outcome to be like this. If he could foresee such an outcome, he might not have chosen to fight hard!

This is a tragic victory! The players' strong fighting will and tenacity made Guan Hai truly re-understand what the player is.

The battle was extremely bloody and cruel. Although Guan Hai was the one who won the final victory, less than 3,000 people were able to stand up. This battle not only completely annihilated the cavalry corps of the three northwest counties of Qingzhou, but also destroyed the elite cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army of Mount Tai.

Or soon, Guan Hai can rebuild elite cavalry units with these five thousand veterans who have lived on the battlefield for the rest of his life, but now, Guan Hai has completely lost the ability to continue fighting.

Therefore, after the battle, Guan Hai immediately ordered the infantry soldiers who were still in the Guangxian camp to evacuate and return to Linqu. He also took the remaining soldiers to clean the battlefield. On the ridge of Xuliang, he could see Chaoyang, buried the soldiers of both sides who were damaged together, and erected a huge stone tablet to record this cruel bloody battle.

This battle is also the beginning of the player army's official appearance on the game stage. Guan Hai may not be a great general in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, but he is undoubtedly the most powerful general in the Yellow Turban Army. Of course, it is just force, not combat power.

But even so, players can completely destroy Guan Hai's troops with similar forces. This is a battle that is defeated and still reunite. The result of this battle not only greatly encourages the players' enthusiasm for fighting, but also makes the strength of the indigenous people even more afraid of the players' strength.

....................................................................................

When the players' eyes were attracted by the bloody battle between Xuliang in Qingzhou, Yuan Shao also quietly kicked off the battle for Mengjin.

Although Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were not in the fight, and even secretly demolishing Yuan Shu's platform, hoping to overthrow Yuan Shu and join the Yuan family. However, in the war, the two were indeed in public interest. Yan Liang did not attack Huai County, but asked Wang Kuang to stare at Huai County. He himself led his troops to turn south and attack Mengjin, hoping to take advantage of the empty troops of Mengjin to take advantage of Mengjin's first, and completely isolate Dong Zhuo's army in Hanoi and annihilate it.

Yuan Shao supported Yan Liang's plan very much, and took advantage of the night to bypass Ao Cang and head straight for Mengjin along the south bank of the Yellow River, hoping to fight north and south to capture Mengjin Ferry in one fell swoop.

Mengjin Ferry itself is not suitable for defense. The south side of Mengjin is a large open area. Although it is conducive to the offensive party's deployment of troops, if the defensive party has strong mobile troops, it is best for the offensive party not to rush to grab the Mengjin Ferry first. Instead, you must first take control of the entire battlefield.

The one who defended Mengjindu was Li Su who was redeemed by Dong Zhuo from Fang Zhiwen. Speaking of which, Dong Zhuo was actually very kind to Li Su. Li Su is not a heartless bastard. At least he knows that he should do something. Even if it is not to restore the glory of his ancestors, he can't always cheat his master if he just returns favors!

Moreover, in order to stabilize Mengjin, Dong Zhuo also sent Li Ru over and divided half of the Xiliang cavalry that could fight in Luoyang City to Li Ru in total more than 10,000.

Li Ru was even more straightforward. He led his infantry to garrison Mengjindu, and asked Li Su to take 15,000 cavalry to support the periphery. Yuan Shao's cavalry was in the hands of Yan Liang and Wen Chou. Yuan Shao himself had no intention of going south to start a war, but now the situation is stalemate, so Yuan Shao had to go into battle.

Therefore, when facing Li Su's cavalry, Yuan Shao's troops immediately had no choice. Of course, defense could still be achieved. Yuan Shao simply formed camps on the mountain more than 40 miles east of Mengjin Duke, and confronted Li Su with deep ditches and thick buildings. Yuan Shao's plan was to attract a large part of the troops in Mengjin Duke, which was to win, and create opportunities for Yan Liang's southward transition.

Looking at Dong Zhuo's troops, Mengjindu is indeed a weakness now. In fact, Dong Zhuo's troops are short of strength, otherwise he would not have easily lost Hangu Pass. In order to deal with the situation of the encirclement of the Kanto clans, Dong Zhuo sent out the main combat troops. From a tactical point of view, Dong Zhuo's four-sided defense tactics are definitely wrong.

But from a strategic perspective, the result of Dong Zhuo's ignition everywhere was to clear the people in the eastern part of Sili. They were either scared away or captured by Dong Zhuo's troops and players' robbery teams. Even if the Yuan brothers could lead the eighteen princes to retake Luoyang, they would face the embarrassing situation where no one was around Sili. From a strategic perspective, Dong Zhuo had a great victory.

It's a long way to go, and get back to the point.

Yuan Shao used his infantry to firmly suck Li Su's cavalry troops, and there were also 10,000 Li Ru's infantry at Mengjin Ferry. If Yan Liang could recruit ships to move south in large numbers, Li Su's troops might not be able to withstand Yan Liang's impact.

Yan Liang thought so, so Yan Liang collected ships everywhere on the north bank. However, the surrounding ships had been received by Li Ru on the south bank of the Yellow River. Yan Liang tried his best to find a few small boats in the north. Just when Yan Liang had no choice but to do anything, the savior arrived.

A group of players came. They not only carried a lot of ships, but also brought tools and props for building pontoon bridges. This was simply a professional boat bridge unit. Yan Liang no matter what purpose these players were for or where the ships they were from, as long as they could help cross the river, as for the officials and positions they were asking for, in Yan Liang's opinion, there was no problem. Moreover, the Central Plains region may not be the territory of his lord in the future, and Yan Liang was also willing to be generous to others.

Sure enough, after receiving the news, Yuan Shao agreed to the request of these players almost immediately and exchanged the position of a county magistrate for the player's help. Of course, this county magistrate is located in the territory of Hanoi.

With sufficient preparation and props, the results were indeed different. In just one night, this group of players built two floating bridges on the Yellow River that could run four horses in parallel. This ability is absolutely powerful, which made Yan Liang a little jealous. In fact, Yan Liang also knew that this was a matter of money and preparation. It was not difficult to find boat bridge craftsmen, but it was rare to prepare sufficient ships and props. From this perspective, Yuan Shao's army still had many shortcomings in the logistics.

Li Ru learned early in the morning that Yan Liang had built a floating bridge upstream and downstream of Mengjin Ferry. He did not seem to have the anxiety he imagined. He just ordered two deputy generals to lead 2,000 people along the river bank to seize the bridgehead on the south bank of the floating bridge, and he continued to sit in Mengjin Ferry, as if he was in control of everything.

Yan Liang, on the contrary, saw the floating bridge build, and ordered the army to immediately gather and cross the river.

Just as Yan Liang's large army was quickly passing through two floating bridges, several huge warships suddenly appeared on the surface of the Yellow River. Judging from the flags on the warship, it was Han Fu's troops. Yan Liang felt like he was poured from the beginning by the cold Yellow River water, and his whole body was cold!

No one knows when Han Fu's big ship slipped to the upper reaches of the Yellow River, and no one knows why they could accurately grasp the opportunity for Yan Liang to cross the river, even if it appeared, this is a typical half-cross strike. Han Fu's purpose is not only to destroy Yan Liang's crossing plan, but also to completely complete some of the troops that Yan Liang had already crossed the river.

Yan Liang was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He knew that he had been completely fooled. He glared at the representatives of the players, and the players looked innocent. Even if these players really had problems, Yan Liang now has no evidence to prove that these players colluded with Han Fu and Dong Zhuo to cheat him. Even if it is true, it is useless to kill these players now. Instead, he has gained a bad reputation. Who dares to help him in the future?

Yan Liang is really a dumb person this time and he can’t tell if he has any pain!

He let the breath be in his chest, and he almost suffocated Yan Liang to death. Yan Liang gave the order to retreat in a muffled voice, and hurried back to the military camp. As for the few mouthfuls of blood when he returned to the camp, no one knew about it.

Han Fu's big ship went down the river, and the rising sails ate enough wind, like a collapsed mountain, and the corners reinforced by steel hit the floating bridge. Yuan Shao's army on the floating bridge were all stunned by the sudden situation. Some panicked soldiers turned around and jumped into the river at a loss. But in this turbulent river water, let alone these soldiers who were not very good at water, even if you have a shocking swimming skills, you will be unlucky in this cold torrent.

"Boom!"

"Ah! ~Help!"

The huge warships broke the small floating bridge in one stroke, and fragments flew at the impact point, and even people and horses. The seemingly solid floating bridge seemed to be made of paper, and it immediately broke into two sections. The turbulent river water rushed downstream, which had lost its restraint. The speed was faster than the galloping horses. The soldiers and horses standing on the floating bridge fell into the water one after another, shouting for help in horror, but the armor on their bodies was heavy, like solid iron balls, and it sank down as if they fell into the water. It was impossible to float on the water and wait for rescue.

There were only a few tenacious war horses, dragging their heavy owners to float in the torrent, swimming desperately towards the shore. The Yuan Shao army soldiers watching on the shore couldn't bear to see it, and turned their faces one after another.

'boom!'

The broken pontoon bridge was divided into two sections, allowing the rapids to rush to the two sides, and then hit the cliff on the shore. After a loud bang, it broke into pieces and was swept away by the river, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

There seemed to be a cheer from the giant ship, which made Yuan Shao's arms on the shore furious. Everyone spontaneously opened their bows and raised their crossbows and shot at these big ships that were quickly passing away. Although it was futile, at least it felt a sense of depression in their chests.

Immediately afterwards, the second floating bridge was also broken. With a little buffering time, there were fewer soldiers on the floating bridge that were knocked into the river. The two floating bridges were broken, and Han Fu's big ship left with cheers and ridicule, without any intention of staying.

The soldiers of Yuan Shao's army standing on both sides of the Yellow River were filled with sadness and helplessness. Soon after, Dong Zhuo's army arrived and wiped out all the desperate Yuan Shao's crossing troops on the mudflats on the south bank of the Yellow River. Yan Liang's first crossing of the river ended in a disastrous defeat.

The news came back to Yuan Shao's camp. Yuan Shao was stunned for a long time before slowly recovering the smell. He was so angry that he threw the things on the table all over the floor and walked back and forth in the camp for a long time. It was not until his personal guard reported to Xu You and Chen Lin came to ask for a meeting that Yuan Shao put away the anger on his face, and the celebrity quickly cleaned up a messy tent.
