Chapter 212 Hulao Pass Is Obtained, And Troops Arrive At Hangu Pass
When Dong Zhuo died, General Li Meng of Xiliang became a thorn in Wang Yun's side.
Naturally, no one would take it seriously as a general whose father didn't care for his mother.
At this moment, in order to save lives, we can only urge the soldiers to fight without risking their lives.
But what Li Meng didn't expect was. Death has set its sights on him.
Just when he popped up and shouted loudly, a huge boulder happened to hit Li Meng's head.
With a bang, Li Meng's whole head was smashed by the boulder, and blood flowed freely. The scene was horrific.
Fan Chou was so frightened by this sudden situation that he backed away repeatedly. He didn't dare to show his head at this moment.
He had no choice but to hide with his head shrunk and give orders under the wall on the side.
Seeing that the Jin army soldiers had climbed up the city, Fan Chong was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, dancing and commanding his men to fight: "General, drive these Jin soldiers down, and the spearmen wave your spears. Pick up the ladder for me and go down."
As Fan Chou issued the order, rows of densely packed spears suddenly appeared after Hulao was closed.
The soldiers of the Xiliang Army kept waving their spears and stabbing at the pass.
The Jin soldiers who were just about to board the tower had no time to react and were all stabbed to the ground by spears.
There were even several ladders that were dropped to the ground in the chaos.
The soldiers of the Jin army who had just climbed into the air were hit by the corpses of their comrades falling from above, and many of them died directly.
"hateful!"
"Brothers, charge with me!"
Seeing that the attack on the city was blocked, Meng Wu shouted loudly, held up his shield in person, and climbed up the ladder with a long knife in one hand.
A huge boulder hit Meng Wu.
Meng Wu gritted his teeth, held up his shield, and faced the difficulty.
boom!
The boulder instantly broke Meng Wu's shield and injured his arm.
Meng Wu gritted his teeth and continued climbing with his injured body.
With Meng Wu taking the lead in the charge, the soldiers of the Jin army were high in fighting spirit. They gritted their teeth one by one and kept climbing towards the Hulao Gate.
Seeing that Meng Wu had led the Jin soldiers to charge forward, Fan Chou had no choice but to pick up his sword and personally command the battle, slashing at Meng Wu with one blow.
Meng Wu held up his shield. After resisting the defensive sword, his hands and feet were numb from the shock.
"Good guy, you are very powerful."
Meng Wu gritted his teeth and cursed secretly, and continued to wave his shield in an attempt to resist the opponent's attack.
Fan Chou was quite capable. He struck him several times and almost removed one of Meng Wu's arms.
He was still on the ladder. Facing the condescending Fan Chou, his strength was greatly reduced, allowing Fan Chou to gain the upper hand for a moment.
Fan Chou was furious when he saw that he couldn't kill the enemy general in front of him even with several blows.
"I want to see how powerful you are. The bandits will chop you to death."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fan Chou slashed with his sword again.
If the opponent continued to stab him a few more times, he might be able to knock Meng Wu down abruptly.
"Damn it, I'll fight you."
Meng Wu gritted his teeth and risked being injured. After being slashed by the opponent, he directly grabbed Fan Chou's blade and pulled it outwards.
The huge force was unleashed, catching Fan Chong off guard.
Without any precautions, Meng Wu and others with knives forcibly dragged him under the wall.
Fan Chong fell to the ground. After struggling a few times, he reluctantly swallowed his breath.
Without Fan Chou's command, the Xiliang army was in chaos.
Meng Zhong rushed to the city tower and attacked fiercely all the way. The Jin army soldiers behind him also followed closely behind him. He defeated the Xiliang army and directly opened the city gate and put Zhao Wei's main army into Hulao Pass.
The Xiliang soldiers in Hulao Pass saw that the two generals were dead and the situation was over. They either surrendered directly to the Jin army or were crushed and killed by the Jin army.
Soon after, the Hulao attack fell completely into the hands of the Jin army.
"Look where the horse is, hurry up and rush back to Jinyang to report the victory to the king. The Russian army has successfully captured Hulao Pass. n
Zhao Yun sent scout horses to Luoyang to report the news of the victory at Hulao Pass to Ying Xi. At the same time, he ordered his soldiers to strengthen the city defenses and stock up on food, grass and weapons to prevent the invasion of the Kwantung princes.
While Zhao Yun successfully captured Hulao Pass, the Jin army led by Yao Guangxiao also sent troops from Pingyang County and went south to Hedong.
The officers and soldiers of the Jin army were highly motivated and almost effortlessly captured Hedong, Hongnong and other places [and marched towards Hangu Pass.
(Tongguan is another pass built by Cao Cao on the basis of Hangu Pass. At this time, there was no Tongguan, and the barrier of Chang'an was still Hangu Pass.)
…Please give me flowers…
When Wang Yun heard that the Jin army was so brave and had captured Hedong, Hongnong and other places in just a few days, he was shocked and hurriedly mobilized the main force in Guanzhong.
With Lu Bu as the general, Li Jue, Guo Si, Xu Rong, Duan Xuan and other Xiliang generals went out together to recruit 120,000 troops and stationed them at Hangu Pass in an attempt to resist the invasion of the Jin army.
Hangu Pass is the largest barrier east of Chang'an. The terrain is dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is said that one man can guard the pass and ten thousand men are invincible.
During the Warring States Period, the Jin State relied on the natural barrier of Hangu Pass to constantly block the six Kanto Kingdoms. The incursions bought the Jin State enough time and energy to "make an indelible contribution to the unification of the great business."
Only then did the First Emperor of Jin Dynasty Ying Zheng annihilate the six kingdoms and unify the world.
Lu Bu now holds an army of 120,000 people from Xiliang, and has Chang'an and Wang Yun as his support. He is stationed at Hulao Pass, the most important pass in the world.
Seeing that Lu Bu was completely distracted and regarded the world's heroes as nothing, Zhu Ren immediately stood up to persuade him.
"Marquis Wen, this time the Jin army invades with great force and is determined to win. According to the general's opinion, our army can completely defend according to the danger and rely on Hangu Pass to firmly deny the Jin army under the pass wall.
"When the Jin army's officers and soldiers are blocked, their morale drops, and their morale becomes unstable, and then they seize the opportunity to break out, they will definitely be able to defeat the Jin army in one fell swoop.
As soon as this statement came out, he was immediately sneered by Hou Cheng: "Our army has an army of 120,000, and its strength is far superior to that of the Jin army. Now facing the Jin army, we still have to huddle in Hulao Pass. Even if we defeat the Jin army, Army, everyone in the world will laugh at my Han army for being timid and not daring to face the Jin army directly."
Hou Cheng's words clearly did not take Xu Rong seriously.
The person who currently holds the military power is his own lord Lu Bu.
Hou Cheng and other Bingzhou Army generals could finally feel proud and did not take these Xiliang surrendered generals seriously.
Especially after hearing Xu Rong's cowardly remarks, it was such a humiliation for Hou Cheng to find an opportunity.
Wei Xu also stood up and said: "The commander-in-chief of the Jin army this time is Yao Guangxiao, the prime minister of Jin. This man is a weak monk, but he dares to lead troops to fight."
"If our army can capture him alive, my lord will definitely be able to intimidate the Jin army and put him in jail."
