Chapter 245 - Call for Xiliang

The majestic and towering Hangu Pass, the thickness of the city wall is more than 30 zhang wide, and almost no bricks and stones are covered with Dao pattern runes, reflecting the brilliance of Hangu Pass, forming an extremely strong defense, so as to resist the bombardment and physical damage of various elemental spells. Hangu Pass is a place where soldiers must fight since ancient times, during the Warring States Period, Wei occupied Hangu Pass and locked Qin, when the six countries joined forces to attack Qin, it was also to Hangu Pass as a battlefield, it can be seen that the importance of Hangu Pass, naturally after the expansion and improvement of the past dynasties, the defense power of Hangu Pass today can be said to be the peak.

Today, outside Hangu Pass, there is a particularly solemn atmosphere of slaughter, it is the Xiliang army soldiers coming to the city, the shouting has stopped, but the soldiers wear black armor and beast masks, they still look murderous, look at it, the black pressure is pressing, only the flag is distinctly colored, swaying with the wind, causing great psychological pressure to the defenders in the pass.

Yuan Shu is not a person without eyesight, and knows that this kind of army outside the pass is by no means easy to mess with, but Yuan Shu still feels in his heart that with the defensive power of Hangu Pass, plus the more than 100,000 defenders, it is really not a problem to hold it for half a month.

In order to strengthen his courage, Yuan Shu began to shout outside the gate, so he urged Zhenyuan to turn into a shout, Yuan Shu is a Jindan real person after all, as soon as this voice is issued, it is a resounding four fields, because it is Zhenyuan urging sound waves, so it is not like the sound that everyone usually hears is far and near, but people near will not feel the sound harsh, and people in the distance will not feel that the sound is weak, this sound is actually directly acting on people's minds, as if someone is talking in their ears, so that everyone present can hear it clearly.

Yuan Shu said to the outside of the pass: "This is the Hangu Pass, an important town of the Xianhan Dynasty, I am the general Yuan Highway after the commander of the Hangu Pass Town Army, and the incoming army outside the pass is not allowed to enter the pass without instructions, so leave quickly!"

"Hahahaha!"

There was a louder laugh outside the gate, the sound was deafening, and the resounding sound was in all directions, which required a great amount of true yuan force to achieve the effect, and it was obvious that this was the voice of the true monarch of the yuanying.

It was Dong Zhuo who spoke out.

"I am Dong Zhongying of Xiliang, I am under the order of General He, and I specially led the army to aid the imperial capital, and the defenders in the pass, why did I stop it?" Dong Zhuo asked.

Knowing that Dong Zhuo asked knowingly, Yuan Shu still explained: "General He has long since died, and now Yuan Benchu is the general, General Dong no longer needs to obey the old order, he can return quickly!"

"Hahahaha!"

Dong Zhuo's loud laughter came again, and it was very uncomfortable to hear.

"Yuan Benchu, with his little Jindan junior, how to sit in the position of a great general, I think there must be something strange about General He's death, and it is not too late for Benjun to lead the army into the imperial capital to find out!" Dong Zhuo said loudly.

Dong Zhuo made it clear that he wanted to enter the customs and go to the imperial capital no matter what, but Yuan Shu was too lazy to talk to him anymore, so he left the city wall, no longer bothered Dong Zhuo, and instructed the soldiers and generals to strictly prevent the Xiliang army from attacking the city.

After Yuan Shu went down to the city tower, suddenly his close adviser Yang Hong suggested: "The Xiliang army has traveled a long way, and it is already the end of the strong crossbow, so it is better to send a powerful general out of the pass to invite the battle to frustrate the spirit of the Xiliang army." ”

When Yuan Shu heard it, he immediately felt that it made sense, although before the letter to Guguan, Yuan Shaoqian told Wan to instruct, saying that he should not lead the army out of the pass to meet the battle no matter what, but he didn't say that he couldn't send the generals out, Yuan Shu's first thought was Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and felt that these two guys had not given a good face since they took office, and now it was a good opportunity to retaliate, meaning that Yuan Shu made Guan Yu, Zhang Fei went out of the city to invite the generals of the Douxi Liang Army, and the thought in his heart was that if they won, the credit could also be given to him in the future, saying that he had a good command, but if they were defeated, Yuan Shu would have an excuse to close the city gate and not let them in, so as to eradicate them by the enemy's hand.

Because Liu Bei treats the soldiers very well on weekdays, he has been grateful by many soldiers, so the news that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei went out to meet the battle soon Liu Bei learned from the soldiers, Liu Bei is smart after all, and knows what kind of tricks Yuan Shu is playing. Liu Bei, who was safe for Zhang Fei and the others, hurriedly went to Yuan Shu, hoping that he would take back his life, but Yuan Shu disagreed, Liu Bei had no choice, so he had to ask for orders and said that he would also go out to fight outside the customs together, Yuan Shu wanted to agree, but after listening to the advice of his adviser Yang Hong, he disagreed, because there were only a few powerful Jindan generals in the pass, and they could not be sent out.

Liu Bei hurriedly found Long Xiangtian and informed him of the matter, Long Xiangtian listened, and was immediately startled, although he has not seen Lu Bu yet, it does not mean that he is not in the camp of the Xiliang Army at this time, Long Xiangtian does not want Lu Bu and Guan Zhang to meet at this time, if they meet each other, I am afraid that there will be damage, on one side is his eldest brother, on the other side are two best friends, Long Xiangtian is not partial to either side.

So Long Xiangtian and Liu Bei found Yuan Shu again and asked to go out with Guan and Zhang, Yuan Shu naturally wouldn't agree, he originally wanted to harm Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and naturally didn't want others to disturb the situation.

Long Xiangtian had no choice, but he didn't want to see Lu Bu and Guan Zhang fighting, so the two discussed it for a while, and decided to ignore Yuan Shu's order and go out of Hangu Pass on their own, so angry that Yuan Shu slapped the table and said that when Long Xiangtian came back, he must treat the two of them.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei came out of the pass, the two of them faced the Xiliang army alone, not afraid at all, but with a heroic face, one was driving a red fire tiger, holding the Qinglong Yanyue knife, majestic, and the other was driving the black-haired fox, holding the Zhangba snake spear gun, mighty and domineering, Rao is the famous Xiliang Iron Horse, and he was also shocked by the momentum exuded by the two of them.

Guan Zhang and the others were about to call the battle, but they found that Liu Bei and Long Xiangtian also came out of the customs at this time.

The news that Hanguguan sent four Jindan generals to call for the formation soon reached Dong Zhuo's ears, and Lu Bushang, who was in Dong Zhuo's tent, didn't know that it was the three brothers Long Xiangtian and Liu Guan and Zhang who called the battle, so he stepped forward and asked for his life: "Father-in-law, just a few ants, go and sweep them away with the first wish!"

Dong Zhuo shook his head and smiled: "Haha! Don't worry, we don't need you to make a move now, our purpose is to march into the imperial capital, there is no time to rub around here, those few people don't need to pay attention, wait for the father's soldiers to come to the imperial capital and control the imperial power, and you will naturally have the opportunity to become famous in the world in the future." ”

"Then the lord means that we will directly attack the city?" Li Ru asked.

Dong Zhuo nodded and said: "I already know that Yuan Shao Xiao'er sent all the troops of the imperial capital to Hangu Pass, and wanted to use this pass to prevent Benjun from entering the imperial capital, so the battle of attacking Hangu Pass is a crucial battle, and everyone in the world will pay attention to the result of this battle, so this battle must fight the military might of my Xiliang army!"

So Dong Zhuo ordered: "Order the rear army to go to the front of the pass, prepare to attack the city, it's time for the people of the Central Plains to also see the horror of the Flying Bear Army!"

Liu Bei and others saw that the Xiliang Army did not respond to the call formation, and when they were puzzled, they suddenly heard a huge sound of running, coming from the rear of the Xiliang Army, and then saw the change of the front army camp of the Xiliang Army, and the soldiers in the middle began to retreat to both sides, from back to front, leaving a wide passage, behind which was the dust flying in the sky, countless roads were hidden in the smoke and dust, and the tall figure that could only be vaguely seen and could not distinguish the outline was far and near, and gradually attacked the front, the scene seemed to be ten thousand beasts running together, and people were frightened to see.

What is that? Just when Liu Bei, Long Xiangtian and the others were puzzled, those figures were getting closer and closer to them, and they were getting closer and closer to Hangu Pass, at this time, those figures suddenly accelerated, so the beginning of the smoke and dust had already rushed out, and they were surprised to see that it was a group of unknown beast soldiers, and each of them also had a huge illusion, looking like a huge bear, roaring, hideous and terrifying, with the movement of the soldiers below.

What the! Liu Bei and the others were suddenly stunned by the scene in front of them, they didn't know what kind of exercise this was, and what was terrible about this illusion, but they all exuded amazing momentum one by one, and there were a lot of them, if they were bumped into, they would definitely be crushed, Liu Bei and others saw that the Xiliang army should not be called by them, but directly sent this strange army to rush and kill, although the four of them were brave, but they would not know the severity, knowing that with the strength of the four of them, it would be difficult to stop the reunion of this foreign army, so they hurriedly turned around, preparing to temporarily enter the customs to hide。

The defenders in the pass were also stunned by this scene, Yuan Shu saw that Liu Bei and the others wanted to enter the pass, and was about to let them in, but was stopped by his subordinate Yang Hong and said: "No, lord, now that foreign army is about to rush to the front of the pass, let them in, and then close the city gate It will be too late, it is better to hold the city gate tightly and let them fend for themselves!"

"But let the four of them Jindan masters die, this loss is a bit big!" Yuan Shu said with some hesitation. Although he also wanted to use the enemy to harm Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, but now that the four Jindan generals were all likely to die, Yuan Shu was a little unable to grasp it, after all, the real Jindan masters in the Guannai were only a few of them.

Yang Hong continued to persuade: "We only need to hold on for half a month, this doesn't need them to play much of a role, the lord can't just care about the gains and losses at this time!"

At the moment of crisis, Yuan Shu didn't have time to think about it, so he listened to Yang Hong's suggestion, and did not let Liu Bei and the four of them come in, Liu Bei was shocked, there was an enemy army behind him, there was no way to retreat, wouldn't it be a dead end, seeing that he couldn't enter the customs, Liu Bei's heart was ruthless at the moment, and he decided to scatter everyone and flee, it was Yuan Shu's injustice and injustice, why die here in vain, although he could only be a deserter, but it was better than fighting and dying in such a humiliated battle.

So the four of them each took the form of a flying sword and fled in four directions, and left Hangu Pass regardless of the battle.
