Chapter 337: Call for war before the pass
Next.
Hangu closed the banner and waved it, many soldiers lined up on the gate, and the city gate was closed.
And Huang Zhong, Ma Chao, and Pang Tong are now also on the city wall, standing in the center of the city wall, frowning, and looking straight outside the gate.
It was the coalition of Yuan Shao and Liu Biao.
The army of 300,000 was arranged outside the pass, looking densely packed, with swords and guns, and many flags were fluttering.
Because last night the coalition forces were heavily defended.
They didn't find an opportunity to sneak attack, so they could only give up attacking the coalition camp and hit the momentum of the coalition army.
There is no chance, and they are still forcibly attacking, that is a way to find death, and it does not fit their minds, so they can only give up and wait for other opportunities.
And, early this morning.
Yuan Shao and Liu Biao also gathered a large army to attack Hangu Pass.
After all, only by taking Hangu Pass can they continue to lead the army towards Chang'an, and they don't think that the 50,000 Qin army can withstand the pace of their 300,000 army.
Although Yuan Shao wanted to drag it out, Liu Biao thought that it would be best to fight a quick battle and not let Qin Yin lead the army to join the garrison at Hangu Pass.
Moreover, he was also worried about the affairs of Jingzhou, so he could only act quickly.
The relationship between them is a joint relationship, not that of subordinates, and some suggestions still need to be listened to.
...
Arrange a formation in front of the pass.
"Qin Yin coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, he is a thief, why should you help the abuse, don't open the city gate quickly and surrender, don't be obsessed!" Yuan Shao rode out and shouted at Guan Shang.
Heard Yuan Shao's big drink.
Pang Tong scolded: "Yuan Shao'er, there is no need to say so righteous and awe-inspiring, which is right and which is wrong, the world has its own decision, you are still the fourth and third princes, but now you are doing such a great rebellion, what face is there to live in front of the world?" Do you dare to shout at us here? ”
Although there is a big gap in the number of troops, the 50,000 soldiers are all elite soldiers, otherwise, they would not have been stationed in Tongguan.
Besides, they also occupy a certain advantage in Guanzhong, and they can't back down.
Heard Pang Tong's scolding.
"You~!"
Yuan Shao was trembling with anger, if it weren't for Pang Tong being closed, he would have been eager to go up directly with his sword, personally behead Pang Tong under the horse, and said angrily: "Who dares to go to call for war?" ”
He's not ready to continue talking nonsense either.
I secretly decided in my heart that when I took Hangu Pass and captured Pang Tong, I would let Pang Tong suffer a lot.
Liu Biao on the side, seeing this, was also glad that he didn't stand up and shout at the first time.
Otherwise, it may be him who is angry now, not to mention, he still has the identity of a clan relative of the Han family, even if he came to crusade against Qin Yin under the banner of the Qing monarch, but he knew in his heart that this was just an excuse.
If they win, then history is on their side; If they lose, Qin Yin will turn them into thieves.
The winner is king, and the loser is the loser, as has been the case since ancient times.
As Yuan Shao's voice fell.
There was a burly general, who came out with a sword, went straight to the pass, pointed at the pass with a big knife in his hand, and shouted: "I am Yan Liang, who dares to come to fight!" ”
This person is Yan Liang, one of the generals under Yuan Shao.
He followed Yuan Shao early in the morning, and when he was plotting to seize Jizhou, he also helped Yuan Shao kill the assassins, and when he was crusading against Gongsun Zhan, he also made great contributions.
With unstoppable courage.
Above the city walls.
When Pang Tong heard Yan Liang's call for battle, his eyes flashed, and he said to Huang Zhong: "This person is menacing, but the momentum is extraordinary, I think General Huang is unstoppable, and I also ask General Huang to go to a battle to shock the army!" ”
didn't wait for Huang Zhong to reply.
"Master Pang's words are wrong, I don't think so, why do you need General Huang to fight, just let me go!" Ma Chao arched his hand.
In this regard, he still has enough confidence.
As a military general, if you don't even have self-confidence, that's it.
And Yuan Shao and Liu Biao did not carry out a strong attack, but let people come to call for battle, which is a good opportunity for meritorious service.
During the period of time under Qin Yin's command.
He also knew that Huang Zhong's force value was higher than him, after all, they had fought before.
"Since General Ma is sure, let General Ma go out of the customs to fight!" Pang Tong said with a smile.
Hear the words.
Ma Chao did not hesitate, and as soon as he gave up his hand to Pang Tong and Huang Zhong, he turned around, pressed his sword in his hand, and walked down, preparing to go out to face Yan Liang.
Wait for Ma Chao to leave.
"Why should Junshi Pang be like this!" Huang Zhong said with a smile.
He is not a brave and unscrupulous general, and he can't see Pang Tong's Xiao Jiujiu there, he just wants to provoke Ma Chao.
Of course, he didn't care too much in his heart, knowing that Pang Tong didn't have any malicious intent.
Pang Tong also grinned and said, "Please don't blame General Huang!" ”
He also knew that Huang Zhong could see his plan, and there was no need to hide it.
strongly recommended Huang Zhong, and ignored Ma Chao, just as Huang Zhong thought, he just wanted to stimulate Ma Chao, which could also make Ma Chao more motivated.
Huang Zhong nodded and said, "Let's take a look first, and we also need to prepare the soldiers, after all, Yuan Shao and Liu Biao are not good." ”
"That's exactly what it should be!" Pang Tong agreed.
They all knew that no matter who won or lost the battle between Ma Chao and Yan Liang, Yuan Shao and Liu Biao would not stop there, and if they acted carefully, there would be no harm in the end.
Moreover, they also need to ensure that even if they do not make meritorious contributions, they must have no faults, hold Hangu Pass, and wait for Qin Yin to lead the army to arrive.
Forthwith.
The two also put their eyes back on the gate.
And at this time.
The closed gates also made a noise and opened.
Ma Chao came out with a gun, accompanied by five hundred soldiers, who followed Ma Chao out of the customs.
Wait out of the city gate.
The five hundred soldiers stopped, lined up.
"Who is coming, I will not kill the nameless under the knife!" Yan Liang saw Ma Chao leading people out, raised his knife and shouted.
Ma Chao came out of the pass, did not stop, and went straight to Yan Liang with a gun, shouting: "Remember that the person who killed you is Ma Chao of Liangzhou!" ”
"Megalomaniacal boy!"
When Yan Liang heard Ma Chao's words, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, so he raised his sword and greeted him.
After all, everyone has come out to fight, and it is impossible for him to back down.
The gate of Hangu Pass was not completely opened, but it only opened the space that could pass through three war horses in parallel, and if you want to close, it is also very fast, and there will be no delay.
If it is fully opened and wants to close it, it will take a certain amount of time.
It's also very easy to get into trouble.
