Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

It wasn't until the Tornado was close enough to be seen clearly that people realized it was a fast rush of cavalry.

However, even if they saw that it was cavalry, the Yangguan defenders couldn't immediately distinguish whether it was the cavalry of the imperial court or the cavalry of the Han army.

It wasn't until the cavalry was less than a hundred paces away from the pass that the defenders finally saw the dress of the cavalry, which was not the army of the imperial court at all, but the Han army.

"Enemy troops! It's an enemy attack—"

"Close the gates! Close the gates now! ”

"Prepare for battle! All of you! ”

Woo woo –

For a time, the shouts of the defenders and the sound of the horn of the alarm came and went, and the entire Yangguan became a mess in an instant.

If the defenders are not chaotic, the situation can be better, and if the defenders are chaotic, the people outside will also be in chaos.

The people had never seen the Han army, only the black cavalry, overwhelmingly rushing towards them, people's hearts were all shrouded in fear, and their first reaction was to run quickly.

But no matter where they run, the two legs of the people are not as good as the four legs of the cavalry, and the people instinctively swarm into the Yangguan City.

At this time, the Yangguan defenders wanted to close the city gate, but they couldn't close it at all, and the city gate cave was full of panicked and crowded people.

The defenders blocked the inside of the city gate, and while preventing the people from entering the city, they shouted loudly: "Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Close the gates! ”

No one listened to the defenders, and all the people, like frightened wild horses, screamed and wailed, and pushed them into it with all their might.

The main general guarding Yangguan was a school captain, and seeing that the enemy army outside was getting closer and closer, and his own city gate could not be closed for a long time, he was so anxious that his eyes were red, he drew his sword under his ribs, and tore away several of his own soldiers.

As the soldiers were pulled away by him, two civilians immediately ran in. The lieutenant raised his sword and fell, and with two pops, the two people who ran into the pass both fell into a pool of blood.

This situation stunned the defenders and the people present, and the people looked at the captain in amazement, and they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.

The captain took two steps forward, raised his sword, and slashed down another civilian, shouting: "Those who block the closure of the city gate will be punished as rebels!" ”

He thought that killing three people in a row would prevent the people from entering the customs, but he was wrong. The scene was silent for a moment, and the people who were blocked outside by the defenders became more and more frenzied, screaming everywhere, and people pushed forward and crowded with all their strength.

The captain's eyes were red, and he roared, "Kill me!" These are the spies of the rebels! They must not be let in! Kill! Kill them all! ”

As he spoke, he swung his sword and slashed the crowd to the ground one by one. Seeing this, the defenders below were also red-eyed, and people held spears and stabbed them with the crowd.

In an instant, the screams in the cave of the city gate became one, and these unarmed people were killed in groups and fell to the ground in front of the red-eyed defenders.

The people behind crowded over, and they were immediately stabbed to the ground again, and the corpses on the ground were stacked on top of each other, and the scarlet blood gathered into a river.

The defenders went mad, and so did the people, and many of them were so frightened that they held their heads and cowered under the walls, crying aloud. A thousand cavalry led by Liu Xiu rushed to Yangguan City, and what they saw was such a tragic situation.

In the cave of the city gate, there were corpses everywhere, and the defenders with spears were all killed with their faces covered with blood, their facial features were distorted, and their shapes were as hideous as ghosts.

Wang Ba roared angrily, took the lead in urging the horse, rushed up, and at the same time as the war horse stepped into the city gate hole, the sledgehammer swept out.

Knock, knock, knock –

The round sledgehammer head swept down the three defenders at once, each of them smashing their helmets and their heads to pieces, and red and white brains flowed out of the cracks in the deformed helmets.

The captain with the sword saw that Wang Ba was brave and did not dare to face the battle, so he turned around and ran back in fright. The main generals have all run away, where are the soldiers below willing to stay and fight to the death? People turned around one after another and ran back in droves after the captain.

But no matter how fast they run, how can they be faster than the war horses? Liu Xiu led a thousand cavalry, almost unhindered, and went directly into Yangguan City in one go.

The interior of the pass is a small city, with barracks, granaries, warehouses and other buildings around the four circles, and the school military field in the center. The defenders followed the lieutenant and retreated to the school yard, but they found themselves a good place to bury.

The school military field is flat and flat, which is too suitable for the charge of cavalry. Liu Xiu led his cavalry, from the front of the defenders, to the end of the formation, a thousand cavalry, against five hundred infantry, through the formation.

Just this round of cavalry rushed down, and the five hundred defenders could still stand on the field, not even a hundred.

The captain who guarded Yangguan also died tragically under the iron hooves of the war horse.

The remaining dozens of defenders looked around them, the ground was full of corpses trampled by war horses, where did people dare to fight again, they threw away their weapons one after another, knelt on the ground, and surrendered to the Han army. Before Liu Xiu could give the order on what to do with the prisoners, the civilians who had suffered heavy casualties ran into the school military field, the men picked up the weapons scattered on the ground, and cut and killed the defenders who surrendered, and the women cried and cried and threw down the defenders

body to bite.

Seeing this, Liu Xiu shook off the bloodstains on the Chixiao sword, then put the sword into the sheath, and said to Zhu You, Gai Yan, Fu Jun, Wang Ba and others beside him: "Clean up the battlefield, bury the corpses, count the casualties of our army, and count the materials in Yangguan!" ”

"Yes! Lord! The Han army did not stop the people from slashing and killing the surrendered defenders, and the people dismounted one after another and began to clear the battlefield. None of the dozens of defenders who surrendered ran away, all died under the chaotic blades of the people.

Many of the people who had lost their loved ones sat on the ground, wailing and weeping, while others were huddled in the corners of the walls, trembling.

Liu Xiu walked among the people, looked around, and said: "You have to pass the customs, now let's go, I will wait for the Han army, only kill the reckless thieves, and never hurt the innocent." ”

When they heard this, the people wept even louder.

Soon, Zhu You counted the quantity of Yangguan substances clearly and reported it to Liu Xiu.

There are a lot of materials in Yangguan, there are many armor, weapons, bows, crossbows, arrows, and hundreds of stones of food are hoarded.

Looking at the number of materials counted by Zhu You, Liu Xiu nodded, this time his own surprise attack on Yangguan, the reason why he was able to win so easily can be said that the people have helped him a lot, so that the defenders can not close the city gate in time.

Of course, the people also paid a heavy price for this, and in such a short time, at least three or four hundred people died tragically at the hands of the defenders.

Liu Xiu asked his soldiers to inform the people that those whose family members were killed could receive five buckets of grain, those whose family members were injured could receive two buckets of grain, and those who had no casualties at home could receive one bucket of grain.

One stone is ten buckets. In fact, whether it is compensation for five buckets or compensation for two buckets or one bucket, the number is not much.

It's just that the people who killed and injured the people were reckless after all, not the Han army, and the Han army was willing to make such compensation to the people, which was already a very good job.

Hearing that the Han army would distribute food to themselves, people's cries weakened, and they all looked at the Han army in surprise, and they couldn't react for a while.

It has always been the government that levies all kinds of harsh taxes on them, so how can they take the initiative to distribute food to them? Besides, it wasn't the Han army who killed their relatives.

The people present walked up to Liu Xiu one after another, knelt on their knees, kowtowed forward, and said with a crying voice: "General Liu is very kind, the villain is unforgettable, but we ...... We can't take it! Seeing a large number of people kneeling down, Liu Xiu couldn't help them one by one, he could only pick up a few elderly people nearby, and said: "In order to escape the scourge of war, everyone migrated north, was displaced, and lived a hard life

I can't feel at ease, this time, the food distributed by our army is not much, it is only enough for everyone to eat on the road, please be sure to accept it! Although these dead and wounded people were not committed by the Han army, they were also directly related to their sneak attack on Yangguan, and Liu Xiu still felt that it was far from enough, but there was only so much food in the army, and if he wanted to take out more, he would

Can't do it.

Hearing Liu Xiu's words, many people were deeply moved, many of them cried, and some young and strong people simply did not leave, and offered to join the Han army.

For the people who took the initiative to join the army, Liu Xiu of course welcomed, but there are some things that have to be said in advance, Yangguan is not a safe place, and they may suffer from the counterattack of the Mang army at any time, and they are here, and they may start a life-and-death struggle with the Mang army at any time.

Even though Liu Xiu had already said it seriously, there were still more than 100 strong men who chose to join the Han army.

The Han army unexpectedly succeeded in attacking Yangguan, and the news was first transmitted back to Ma Wu, who deliberately transmitted the news to the county seat.

Hearing that Yangguan was lost and had been captured by the Han army, the defenders in the county town were all frightened, like mourning.

You must know that at present, the main force of the Han army is fighting in the south of Yingchuan County, and the Han army led by Wang Feng and Wang Chang (mainly Wang Chang) has successively captured Dingling, Yuncheng and other places.

The southern counties of Yingchuan County are in a precarious situation and are no longer able to send troops to reinforce the county seats, and the county towns can only count on the reinforcements of the northern counties at present.

But Yangguan is precisely the northern gateway of Yangzhai, and the fall of Yangguan is equivalent to cutting off the route of northern reinforcements, and now Yangzhai is really beaten into a lonely city by the Han army, isolated and helpless.

The military spirit below was turbulent, and the county government was also anxious, and asked Luoyang for help in the form of flying pigeons.

At present, the Mang army led by Dasikong Wangyi and Situ Wangxun has assembled an army of 430,000 people in Luoyang, claiming to be one million to the outside world.

After Wang Yi received the letter for help from the Yingchuan County Government, he was furious, at present, the Han army is besieging Wancheng in Nanyang, and besieging Yangzhai in Yingchuan, the Han army wants to swallow Nanyang and Yingchuan counties in one go!

Under his own nose, in front of his own million-strong army, the Han army dared to be so unscrupulous and deceive people too much! Wang Yi immediately ordered the generals of the three armies to prepare and want to enter Yingchuan.

Hearing the general order conveyed by Wang Yi, Yan You was shocked, and immediately went to Wang Yi to dissuade him, he could not enter Yingchuan, his own goal should be Nanyang, and he would fight Yingchuan first, and there was no distinction between priority and priority. For Yan You's suggestion and analysis, Wang Yi scoffed, and he was almost angry, he said proudly: "Our army has millions of lions, swallowing mountains and rivers, and walking one by one, it is enough to step on the thieves who rush to Yingchuan." He wanted Ben Shuai to avoid Yingchuan anti-thieves and take a detour

Go to Nanyang, it's really thanks to you, General Yan, who can say it! "If it weren't for Yan You being a veteran in the army, an old man in the court, and quite a prestige in the eyes of the soldiers, he wouldn't want to smack Yan You's face.
