Chapter 437

No matter how Lu Bu resisted, he couldn't get rid of Su Li's suppression of him.

So much so that in the end, even erupting with the Peerless Form was not enough to defeat Su Li.

He was ultimately defeated.

If not for the Red Hare horse saving its master, and if not for Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and Lu Lu Lu Lingqi leading tens of thousands of Xiliang Iron Cavalry to provide support at every moment.

I fear that this peerless warrior of the frontier, renowned across the four seas and hailed as the unparalleled ghost-god, Lu Bu, Lu Lu Lu Fengxian, would have met his end at the hands of Su Li today.

Such a reversal.

The result of which is.

It greatly dampened the fighting spirit of Dong Zhuo’s camp, while giving the coalition camp an opportunity to launch another attack on Hulao Pass.

It is also like this.

The outcome of this battle has completely made the name Su Li famous throughout the world.

The name of the peerless Su Li will surely replace Lu Bu and shake the Eastern Han!

"Ding! Congratulations on defeating Lu Bu head-on on the battlefield. Prestige +20,000!"

"Ding! Congratulations, your total prestige has exceeded 40,000. Your prestige title has been upgraded to: [Renowned in the Central Plains]!"

On the battlefield.

Following Lu Bu’s defeat and retreat, Su Li also received two melodic system notifications.

Hmm!

Su Li’s eyes brightened; he had not expected the prestige gained from defeating Lu Bu to be so high.

Twenty thousand in a single go.

That is double the amount he received from defeating Zhang Jiao previously.

Not only that.

It also directly upgraded his prestige title to [Renowned in the Central Plains]?

Without further ado, Su Li immediately checked the prestige title.

[Renowned in the Central Plains] (Requires 40,000 prestige)

[Category: Title]

[Effect: All attributes +10]

[Special Effect: Increases attraction rate for special NPCs, with a chance to attract Epic NPCs to join voluntarily]

Upgraded from the previous [Rising Fame] to the current [Renowned in the Central Plains], the effect of the prestige title has been greatly enhanced.

The base attribute bonus increased from the initial all attributes +5 to all attributes +10!

Of course!

In Su Li’s view, this increase was still insignificant.

The main points were the special effect, the increased attraction rate for special NPCs, and the chance to attract Epic NPCs to join voluntarily.

In other words, he now has a great chance to attract those special NPCs who have not yet entered service, or have Epic NPCs join him of their own volition.

It can be said to be very powerful.

Afterward.

Sweeping his gaze over the charging coalition camp, Su Li rode his horse and led Zhao Yun and the others to join in.

Now that Lu Bu has suffered a crushing defeat, the momentum of Dong Zhuo’s camp has plummeted; if they press the advantage, there is a great danger of capturing Hulao Pass.

…………

Several hours passed, and it was dusk.

The coalition army entered the fray, hundreds of millions strong, launching a fierce assault on Hulao Pass.

Morning.

The coalition army had already attacked Hulao Pass once, only to end in defeat.

The reason for this was that the alliance leader, Yuan Shao, due to the execution of his uncle Yuan Kui, led to chaotic command and disorganized attacks; coupled with the lack of siege equipment, it was difficult to seize the city defenses and gain the upper hand.

But this time.

The situation was different.

Dong Zhuo pursued the victory, believing that with Lu Bu’s strength, he could crush the coalition in one fell swoop.

Who would have expected Lu Bu to be defeated by Su Li, which undoubtedly created a god of war for the coalition; that impact on morale caused the coalition’s combat effectiveness to multiply.

Conversely.

The morale of the coalition camp plummeted.

Even some opportunists retreated directly from the battlefield.

After all, after the rules of this world were updated, death penalties increased, and every death reduces one’s four-dimensional attributes.

Originally, according to the historical plot, Dong Zhuo was destined to be defeated; if Lu Bu had victory in his grasp, it wouldn't have been impossible, and those who joined Dong Zhuo’s camp could still see some hope.

But now that Lu Bu has returned in a crushing defeat, those outlander players have completely lost hope; what would they still be doing on the battlefield?

Waiting for death?

There is no need for that!

Their own lives are more important.

Once the outlander players fled, the morale of Dong Zhuo’s own troops began to decline.

Under such circumstances, one can imagine the consequences for the coalition army, with its surging morale and several times the troop strength.

Outside Hulao Pass.

As twilight gathered, the coalition’s attacks became increasingly fierce.

For a time.

It was a dilemma of being trapped by the majestic pass.

Atop the city tower.

Watching the fiercely attacking coalition, Dong Zhuo, feeling uneasy, looked at Li Ru beside him: "Li Li Wenyou... what is the plan now?"

The threat of the coalition army is imminent.

Without a countermeasure, the situation at Hulao Pass today is likely to be broken.

It is just a pity.

Although Li Ru can be called a top-tier divine strategist in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms," he is only a man, not a true god.

In such an environment, a strategy to turn defeat into victory does not exist; at least in this place of Hulao Pass, Li Ru no longer has a good plan.

However.

"My lord! My proud General Lu Lu Fengxian has returned in defeat, the troops have no heart for battle, and there is no way to defend Hulao Pass!"

"Furthermore, I recently received news that a coalition unit has launched a surprise attack from Henei to Hangu, forming a pincer movement with the main coalition force to strike Luoyang."

Li Ru first analyzed the current situation for Dong Zhuo, then solemnly said: "Your subordinate advises that it would be better to abandon Hulao early to preserve strength and lead the troops back to Luoyang. This is his original intention."

"Li Li Wenyou, what are you saying? Can we run fast enough?"

Dong Zhuo’s gaze carried a hint of doubt.

"Of course not; the coalition is currently unstoppable, so we must not move yet."

"Retreat first and then advance to increase our momentum. Staying in Luoyang, we will be arrogant in our strength, and arrogant troops are bound to fail; when the time comes, our army will fight a bloody path and will surely deal a heavy blow to the coalition!"

Li Ru was far-sighted, with the air of someone who had victory in his grasp, as if he had already thought of a way to respond.

"You've got it, then, are you going to strike the coalition hard?"

Without giving Li Ru any specific plan, Dong Zhuo simply brought it up.

"80% certainty."

Li Ru, thinking it reasonable, said softly.

"Hmph, from ancient times to the present, there has never been a battle with guaranteed victory; as long as there is an 80% chance, I will follow your words, and we shall withdraw our troops!"

Dong Zhuo had always been convinced by Li Ru’s wisdom.

Previously, when Ding Yuan led Lu Bu to march on Luoyang, he almost pierced through his Xiliang army.

In the end, it was Li Ru who intervened, turning the tide and trapping Lu Bu, Ding Yuan, and others outside Luoyang, with a strong intent to recruit Lu Bu.

The facts were not so.

Standing here now is probably not Dong Zhuo’s patent alone!
