Until noon, no matter how the coalition forces outside the pass were humiliating and scolding, Dong Zhuojun was unmoved. Only when the coalition forces approached the city wall would he poke his head out, a rain of arrows shot the coalition forces into dust.

At this time, Yuan Shao, as the leader of the alliance, could not sit still. He had already seen that the enemy in the pass was determined to defend the enemy. In order to preserve his strength, his brother Yuan Shu only knew that he had no intention of attacking outside the pass except to send a small group of soldiers to test. Seeing this situation, he knew that he could not continue like this. If Yuan Shu and others fooled him like this today and did not fight the enemy at all, then the other princes would definitely follow suit in the future. Don’t say that they won, it would be impossible to eliminate the entire army. So after noon, Yuan Shao ordered Yuan Shu and others to attack the city immediately. If there was any shirk, the military law would deal with it!

When he received Yuan Shao's military order, Yuan Shu was of course very unhappy, but even though he didn't take Yuan Shao as the leader seriously, he did not dare to violate the military order openly. However, he was reluctant to spend his army under the Hulao Pass. He first conveyed Yuan Shao's order to Kong Yi and Liu Dai, and emphasized that he should not shirk responsibility, otherwise the military law would be dealt with. However, he himself asked those players who were under his name to act as cannon fodder, and used military achievements and official positions to tempt players to work for him.

Kong Yichang and Liu Dai are not fools. Faced with a world-class pass like Hulao Pass, there will definitely be no good result. Even if they have millions of troops under their command, they are not going to use their elite troops, but what they do is not as obvious as Yuan Shu. While ordering players to participate in the war, they also sent their own cannon fodder troops.

In this way, although the only one who really attacked the city was only some low-strength mobs. It did not pose much threat to the defenders, the coalition's equipment troops were not idle at all when attacking. At the beginning of the battle, the crossbows and catapults were constantly throwing arrows and rocks at the enemy, although he also suffered considerable losses. However, with the cooperation of his own troops, it could also cause some trouble to the enemy.

At this time, Hulao Pass turned into a meat grinder. Players outside the Pass and a small number of NPC cannon fodder troops charged towards the city walls like ants, and the crossbows and catapults on both sides were also operating at full capacity. One was smashed and a new one was immediately assembled. At this time, the two sides began a real battle of strength, including manpower and material resources.

The battle lasted until dark. Yuan Shao first ordered the Mingjin to withdraw his troops. After all the troops returned to the camp, someone soon sent the statistics of today's battle: in just half a day in the afternoon, millions of players were killed in the coalition, and the three princes also lost hundreds of thousands of NPC troops, while the defensive party lost only one-tenth of that of the coalition. However, after half a day of continuous bombing in the afternoon, the durability of the Hulao Pass and the closing gate decreased by tens of millions of points. Although this number was very small compared to its billion-durance upper limit. However, even if Lu Bu immediately organized the architect to repair the city wall when the battle stopped for a moment, it was only about half of the recovery by dawn. If it continued at this speed, as long as the coalition was given enough time, in theory, they could level the impregnable pass.

Although at the summary meeting after the battle every day, some people complained about Yuan Shu's behavior of only sending low-powered players as cannon fodder, but he did not send one soldier and one soldier, believing that his suspicion of being passively avoiding war and preserving his strength was not conducive to the unity of the coalition forces. However, there were not many people who agreed with the Yuan family's power. On the contrary, many people believed that Yuan Shu's practice of seducing those outsiders with illusory fame and fortune and letting them as cannon fodder was taken for granted. In their opinion, both players and Dong Zhuo were threatening, but now Dong Zhuo is powerful and has to temporarily use the power of the player. Some people even ignored Wen Min, an outsider present, and said openly that once Dong Zhuo was eliminated, they would gather the power of the court to suppress the outsiders.

This time, when the NPC princes were talking big, Wenmin did not interrupt, just sat in the corner and listened silently, and even remained silent when someone threatened to suppress the outsiders' forces. He knew that no matter what he said at this time, there was no way to change the rejection of these indigenous people from outsiders, because he could not stop the gradually stronger players and indigenous people from competing for survival space. Although he was also a player himself, his subordinates were all indigenous people, so if one day the players and indigenous people would have a conflict, he really didn't know which side he chose to stand in the middle.

Seeing the debate among the princes becoming more and more intense, the leader Yuan Shao finally stood up and said, "Everyone, listen to me, we can all gather together today in order to eliminate Dong Zhuo and welcome the emperor back. My younger brother Yuan Shu did something wrong today. If everyone will follow the example in the future, are reluctant to sacrifice, and are reluctant to send elite troops to fight, those outsiders are not all fools. This is not good for us to achieve our goals. Here, I apologize to everyone on his behalf, and I will not be an example! I also hope that you can do your best to deal with Dong thief in the future."

After hearing Yuan Shao say this, Cao Cao, who had been watching coldly, couldn't help but stand up and said, "President Yuan, Cao Cao secretly thought that the most important thing for those who are in charge of the army is to clearly distinguish between rewards and punishments. If you have merits, you will be punished. In this way, the soldiers can use their lives to defeat the enemy. However, since the leader of the alliance believes that what the general does today is inappropriate, he does not punish him, I think this is a little inappropriate."

Yuan Shao saw someone who dared to refute him in person in person, a hint of unhappiness flashed across his face. However, after seeing the person who refuted clearly was Cao Cao, he had to put away his dissatisfaction and continued to smile and said, "Meng Deyan is serious. It's not that I am protecting my brothers. It's just that the ancients said that those who don't know are not guilty. We did not explain before that we must send our own direct troops to the war. Moreover, although the practice of the highway today is suspected of being passive to avoid war and preserving strength, the outsiders he sent also caused great trouble to the enemy, and the results of the battle were also good, so what do you think?"

Among the princes present, a large part of them had some relationship with their old Yuan family. At this time, of course, only Yuan Shao's leader was following, so after Yuan Shao asked, the tent was full of complimentary voices: "The leader is wise!" "The leader is far-sighted, it is our blessing!"...

Cao Cao, who originally wanted to say something else, could only stand aside and remain silent when he saw such a scene.

The battle at Hulao Pass was stalemate because Lu Bu was determined to defend himself. Next, let’s take a look at the side of Sishui Pass. Speaking of which, before the main force of the coalition forces arrived at Hulao Pass, Sun Jian had already started fighting with Hua Xiong, who was stationed in Sishui Pass.

When Sun Jian led his army to Sishui Pass, he not only arranged some people to camp and set up camp, but also led a large army to the outside of the pass to challenge Dong Zhuo's army. Although Sun Jian was known as the tiger in Jiangdong, Hua Xiong, who guarded the pass, was not a good person. Before Lu Bu joined, he had always been the number one combat force in the Xiliang army. Now after Lu Bu joined, his status is declining. Seeing Lu Bu's treatment, he felt quite unbalanced. This time he received the order to guard Sishui Pass, but he was full of energy and wanted to make a great contribution to prove himself. So when Sun Jian started calling, he was full of confidence and immediately went out of the city to fight.

Seeing Hua Xiong taking his men out to fight, Sun Jian immediately rode his horse up, pointed the ancient ingot knife at Hua Xiong and asked, "Do you dare to fight me on the other side?"

Hua Xiong originally came to make contributions, so when facing Sun Jian's challenge, he rushed up and fought with him without any hesitation.

Both of them are considered world-class generals. Their combat powers are not much different. They are also famous generals who use swords. So when they come up, they are like Mars hitting the earth. "Whip and Whip..." The deafening weapons are constantly hitting each other. They sometimes open and close together to engage in a power battle; sometimes they are like passing through flowers and attracting butterflies, conducting a skill competition.

At this time, both players watching the battle on the outside even forgot the camp they were in and were immersed in the wonderful sword skills competition between the two on the field. It is no exaggeration to say that this battle is probably the most exciting sword skills competition among the Three Kingdoms. (Although Guan Yu may have higher attainments in sword skills than them, he emphasizes killing with one blow. Many of his opponents were killed instantly by him, so they are far inferior to this battle in terms of viewing.)

Until hundreds of rounds later, at this time, Sun Jian's general Cheng Pu and Huang Gai and four others were worried that Sun Jian would be exhausted and were taken advantage of by the enemy, so they rushed forward to help. Hua Xiong on the other side had already tried his best to deal with Sun Jian alone. Now, seeing four generals rushing out of the enemy camp, they were shocked and used force to block Sun Jian's attack, turned around and ran away.

After seeing Hua Xiong running away, Sun Jian felt a little regretful that he could not keep him, but he still ordered the entire army to attack. Since Hua Xiong was running in a hurry and did not have time to make a correct response, so after Sun Jian's army launched a charge, the Xiliang army was still in chaos. I don't know whether to fight or retreat. It was not until Hua Xiong returned to the original formation to convey the order to retreat. However, at this time, Sun Jian's army was about to rush to them. The caught off guard had to retreat while resisting Sun Jian's army's attack.
