What was once the world's mighty pass has now become a complete battlefield. On the city walls, the defenders responsible for resisting have been completely killed. The Xiliang rebels who climbed the city wall from the top of the ladder checked whether there were any live openings on the city wall, and if they did, they tied them up with ropes and waited for Li Dao to fall after breaking the pass.

If you find the kind of injury that is not fatal, but is just pretending to be dead, but it is merciless, and directly make up for the other party's vital point...

In less than a quarter of an hour, there was no more life left on the walls.

It's not surprising that those injuries that are not serious still have some value after being captured, but those who are seriously injured, even if they are left, can only be regarded as a burden. The current Xiliang Army is not the Xiliang Army of Dong Zhuo's period, and it is not rich enough to support a group of people who can't do anything.

It's better to solve it directly, and it will save trouble.

At least before entering the customs, Li Dao and others had already instructed that there was no one who could not be killed except for the Son of Heaven, in other words, as long as it was in the way. Not to mention these people who defend the city, even the third prince or the queen can be killed.

It's not surprising, after all, these people are not very important, even if they die, they won't cause much of a sensation, well, at least it won't let Li Dao and Guo Yan fall to the point of attacking in a group. After all, except for the Son of Heaven, the rest of the people can basically deal with the past vaguely. It can even be said that Yang Feng and Xu Huang and others hijacked Liu Xie to leave Chang'an, and they chased him out to protect Liu Xie, but in the process, Yang Feng and others were mad and actually murdered the queen and other ministers, leaving only the Son of Heaven rescued by them.

Well, in fact, this is what Li Dao said in anger, and of course the actual order will not be like this. After all, these princes and ministers in Chang'an City are basically very influential people, and many of them are in wealthy families in various places, so it's good to kill a few of them occasionally, after all, Chang'an is now considered a corner of peace, and there will not be much threat, even if they really kill one, will they still run to Chang'an City for this little one?

You know, even those who are really loyal to the monarch and patriotic have never done this, whether it is Ma Teng or Cao Cao, don't they all claim to be loyal ministers? However, during the period when Emperor Xian was in Chang'an, they were not ignorant of the situation in Chang'an, but they were all indifferent.

Because of a very realistic factor, that is, Chang'an is really too far away...

It's too far, too far away for them to touch.

After solving all the possible safety hazards on the city wall, these Xiliang rebels who entered the city immediately came to the location of the city wall gate. But when they saw the city gate, they were all dumbfounded.

"What the hell is going to do with this?"

The order they originally received was to open the city gate first after entering Hangu Pass, so that all the follow-up soldiers and horses would come in, so that even if the state of the soldiers and horses in the city was a little unexpected or something else, the follow-up soldiers and horses would be enough to solve everything.

But now in front of them was a city gate that had been completely sealed...

Rolling wood, stones, and even furniture from many houses were almost all piled up at the city gate, so that the gate of Hangu Pass, which was not very large, was piled up tightly, and there was not even a single gap.

Ordinary people can't say that they have passed through it, and it is a very powerful thing to be able to stick their arms into it.

"General, this?" Looking at the situation inside, a soldier looked at his superior with some infallibility.

"His grandmother's, these bastards..."Looking at the situation in front of him, the general next to him was also a little dumbfounded. But there is no way, if you rely on the ladder alone, it will take too long to get the soldiers and horses outside, and the only way is to open the city gate, so that a large number of soldiers and horses can come in, but now...

"Move!" Gritting his teeth, the general said angrily.

If the man who ordered the gates to be piled up was right in front of him, he would have ordered the bastard to be dismantled.

It's a pity that now this person is not only not in front of his eyes, he doesn't even know who the other party is. Even if you want to take revenge, you can't do it, you can only be annoyed, but unfortunately an order is an order, and this must not be discounted, so...

Let's move...

Even if it is tired and troublesome, it is better than violating military orders.

Hearing the general's order, the Xiliang rebels who had just fought were also a little helpless, but they could only obey the order. The problem is that the space inside the city gate is really very tight, and there is almost no gap, even if you want to start, it is very difficult, not to mention that many of the stones in it are huge, and I don't know how Xu Huang and they got in.

It's better when you get it in, because you only need to think about how to get it in, but you don't need to think about how to get it out, so there are a lot of means that you can use, but now...

They're going to be much more helpless...

The most important thing is that during their transportation, they even need to find a way to resist the soldiers and horses in the city who are trying to counterattack. Because of the relatively small number of reinforcements on the city wall, there were several times when they were almost successfully counterattacked, but in the end, the gap between them decided the victory or defeat, and that's it.

By the time they moved the stones out of the city gate, it was already more than two hours later, and during this period, the defenders in Hangu Pass wanted to recapture the city gate countless times, so even Yang Feng and Xu Rong personally went into battle to command, and even personally led the soldiers and horses to pounce.

It's a pity that there is no effect, if Xu Huang is fine here, but unfortunately Xu Huang is not here, they lack the kind of fierce general who can make a final decision.

After more than two hours, the gates were completely opened, as the last of the half-man-high stone was removed. Looking at the city gate that had been opened, countless Xiliang troops poured in from outside Hangu Pass, and occupied almost half of Hangu Pass with the fastest speed, leaving only a small number of important places and soldiers and horses resisting day by day.

It's just that no matter who knows it, the city wall of Hangu Pass was his biggest guarantee, and now the city wall is gone, which means that even if they continue to resist, they will not be able to stop the end of the fall of Hangu Pass in the end, and the soldiers in the city will of course be demoralized when they resist...

After waiting for more than an hour, the range of activities of the defenders in Hangu Pass was even more compressed to a limit.

If it weren't for the fact that they all knew how brutal the methods of the Xiliang Army were, and also knew what happened to them when they fell into the hands of the other party, I am afraid that some people would have begun to consider the issue of surrender by now.

11111 dividing line 11111

The situation at Hangu Pass was already precarious, and the city was full of defenders and Xiliang troops who were fighting each other, of course, it could also be called a one-sided massacre.

During this time, after slaughtering many war horses, the defenders in the city finally maintained a certain combat effectiveness, and did not fall into a desperate situation of starvation as Li Dao and the others expected. And when their own safety is threatened, they can also be said to fight to the death.

It's just that...

There are too many people in the city, and even if some of the people are reserved, the state is not as good as usual, not to mention the need to take into account various aspects such as psychology.

It's a bit of a misappropriation to say that the slaughter is a bit of a saga, but it's pretty much the same.

In a residence in the deepest part of Hangu Pass, Liu Xie was trembling with his concubine. Around him, ministers such as Yang Biao and Zhao Wen were all colorless. Obviously, they all knew very well what would happen to them if they were really killed by those rebellions of the Xiliang Army. There were even sobbing sounds in the room, mostly from the people in the corner.

"How this should be good, how this should be good..."

Beside Yang Biao, a minister muttered to some of the six gods.

Glancing at him, if it were in the past, Yang Biao would have already scolded him, but now...

Even he himself can't calm down, how can he talk about others? After those Xiliang rebels came, they might not be good to Liu Xie, but it was absolutely impossible for them to show mercy to the ministers who were relied on by the Son of Heaven.

This time, he brought all his relatives out of Chang'an, and if he successfully arrived in Luoyang, it would naturally be a happy person, but now...

I'm afraid I'm going to be wiped out...

While the people in the room were panicking, the shouting outside was getting closer and closer, and at this time, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open.

The sound of 'clang' came out, which immediately startled everyone in the room, and some people even screamed.

Just as the people inside were about to scurry around like headless flies, they heard the person who broke in shout.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Everyone looked over, and it turned out that it was Xu Huang who came in.

Xu Huang seemed to have gone through a period of fighting before running in, the armor on his body was stained with blood, and there were many gaps on the big axe in his hand. The few steps into the room alone had already left several bloody footprints in the room, and there was even a thick blood on them. A fishy smell came to the face, making many people involuntarily cover their mouths and noses.

Without glancing at the people, Xu Huang came in and put the big axe on the ground but knelt down on one knee.

"Your Majesty, Minister Xu Huang came to escort..."

No matter how smart Liu Xie is on weekdays, after all, he is just a child, and at this juncture, he is already so scared that he can't even speak. Not to mention how to react to Xu Huang's words, fortunately, there is still Yang Biao by Liu Xie's side, although Yang Biao's heart is also a little flustered at this moment, he can still maintain the calm on his face, looking at Xu Huang who ran in, he hurriedly asked.

"General Xu, what's the situation outside?"

"It's bad, the city walls have fallen, and our men are still only guarding a few important positions in the pass, but the fall is only a matter of time..."

Xu Huang was a little helpless, Hangu Pass is also considered a Xiongguan moat, the difference in strength between the two sides is too big, and this gap is not a certain aspect, but all-round, not only hard power, even the gap in several other directions is also amazing, so even he has nothing to do.

By now, it is already weak, although it is still making people persevere, but no one dares to guarantee how long it will last.

Seeing that the people in the room were in a mess after hearing the bad news, Xu Huang said firmly. "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the minister swears to death not to let the traitor offend Your Majesty..."

Looking at Xu Huang, who was covered in blood but still loyal, Yang Biao was a little emotional.

Perhaps it is precisely because such people have always existed that the Han family can still exist after so many tribulations.

"With a loyal and upright person like General Xu, why worry about the Han family..."

However, no matter how nice and beautiful the scene is, it cannot change the fact that the current situation is present. Xiliang's rebels have already entered Hangu Pass, whether it is Yang Feng or Xu Rong, they can no longer be contacted, and Xu Huang himself can only take more than a dozen personal soldiers to the residence of the Son of Heaven to guard.

During this period, Xu Huang also thought about what to do, but unfortunately, Hangu Pass was not only steep in front, but even more steep on both sides, and it was almost impossible to expect to be able to climb out of the mountains on both sides.

If this weren't the case, Xu Huang really considered whether to take Liu Xie out, after all, there were not too many people, as long as Liu Xie could go out. It doesn't matter how many other people die, it's hard to say anything else in this world, and it's much easier to find some ministers to come out.

The problem is that the cliffs on both sides are too steep, and even if Xu Huang can carry Liu Xie on his back, it is completely impossible to climb up.

Seeing that the Xiliang Army was getting closer and closer to his side, even Xu Huang couldn't help but feel a little desperate.

Finally, the first Xiliang rebels appeared in Xu Huang's field of vision, and seeing that there were other people here, those Xiliang rebels were also a line. However, there are also some smart people among these people, and when they saw that Liu Xie's house was actually guarded, they immediately understood that there must be some important people here.

Although Li Dao and Guo Yan have already issued an order, except for the Son of Heaven, everyone else can be killed, but if they can capture any minister, it will also be a great achievement. What's more, what if it's the Son of Heaven inside?

Thinking of this, those Xiliang rebels were already excited.

It's just that they seem to be a little too excited a little too early, and after a long fight, Xu Huang is a little tired. But it is absolutely impossible to be compared to these shrimp soldiers and crabs, the big axe in his hand is raised high, and in just a few rounds, he has killed all these unlucky guys, but...

Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the other Xiliang troops who had been attracted by the shouting of killing had already arrived...

It was only a moment's effort, and several of the guards around Xu Huang had already fallen, and most of the rest supported each other to barely survive.

During this period, some people also wanted to bypass Xu Huang and go straight to the room, but Xu Huang was injured and cleaned up.

But the question is...

"How much longer?"

Yes, for how long?
