After leaving Hangu Pass, Zhao Rong did not waste too much time observing the surrounding terrain and enemy situation. Because Hangu Pass is really narrow, many sections can only accommodate less than ten people side by side, and the spacious ones are not so spacious.

In other words, at a glance, at least when they get close enough, they can almost easily see the other side.

For example, the lineup on the opposite side, and the archers on the high sides around.

Zhao Rong dared to guarantee that these archers alone would be enough for them to drink a pot.

"General, there are about a thousand rebels on the opposite side, and they occupy a favorable position, I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to defeat them alone," accompanied the general who led the army, and a man who seemed to be his deputy whispered.

He looked a little worried, he has been in the army for many years, otherwise he wouldn't be able to mix in his current position, how can he not see the current situation?

With their soldiers and horses alone, it is too difficult to defeat the other party.

"I don't know" Zhao Rong's expression was not as excited as when he came out of Hangu Pass just now, and his expression was serious. "It's just that if we let these rebels gain a foothold, you and I will never be able to defeat them again, and for us, this can be said to be the last chance"

There are very few people in this world who are fools, let alone those who can still get into the position of general. Even if you are a real fool, the moment you come out of Hangu Pass, you will see the narrow landscape on the opposite side, and the soldiers and horses blocked at the exit position, you will instantly wake up and understand what reality is

But there was no way

If they are really blocked inside, they will not be able to hold on for too long with the grain and grass in their hands, and I am afraid that they will be starved to death in Zihangu Pass at that time.

In the troubled times, the most important thing is hunger, and Zhao Rong has also seen what those people who are starved to death are like, and he is absolutely unwilling to be one of them.

"Lao Tzu would rather die on the battlefield than become like that" Pulling out the ring knife in his hand, Zhao Rong said sharply.

His deputy also understood, and didn't say anything more when he heard the words, but silently pulled out his own weapon.

"Did you hear the general's words, rush me!"

There are not no smart people among the soldiers, especially in Chang'an City in recent years, although these soldiers don't need to worry about starving to death, but they have not experienced much of starvation, and they can be said to be quite sensitive to this kind of thing.

At this point now, how can there be any reason not to work hard?

Hearing the words of the deputy, they all shouted along.

The soldiers who were ready to go, under the leadership of the officer, walked in a neat pace and rushed towards the Xiliang army opposite. The first thing that greeted them was a rain of arrows, and like raindrops, arrows kept shooting from the heights on both sides, condescendingly. Those archers standing on high places don't need to worry about their own safety at all, and they don't even need to think about accuracy at all, in this small environment, at best, they can let more than a dozen soldiers walk side by side, and the other side has more than 2,000 people, making it very dense, they don't need to do any preparation for aiming at all, they just need to set up their bows and arrows, and shoot at each other.

Every time the bowstring fluttered, it meant that at least one soldier fell to the ground, and in a short time, each of these archers shot at least ten or more people, and it was even easier to refresh the battle than when defending the city. And unlike when they defended the city, they are now condescending, and they don't need to worry about the siege ordnance such as a well fence or trebuchet on the opposite side to threaten them, and they don't need to worry about the ladder on the opposite side, they just need to stand on a high place and brush up their achievements.

On the other hand, the soldiers and horses piled up on the road below, although they had just rested for the night, were not in very good condition, and the most important thing was that the rain of arrows that would fall from their heads from time to time was not only fatal, but also easy to attract their attention, so that they had to be afraid. In such an environment, they simply could not concentrate on fighting the enemy on the opposite side

Denmark is sure enough, to say that there is no advantage at all, it is also impossible.

As I said before, in order to be able to climb over the dangerous mountains, these people of the Xiliang Army did not carry armor or shields, not even helmets, everyone just carried a weapon and some rations and turned it over.

Otherwise, it would not have been possible for so many people to get here.

However, this also means that they have a big gap with the soldiers and horses on the opposite side, at least in terms of armament. Therefore, even if the people on the opposite side were constantly shot by the archers from above, the battle situation was still very anxious.

"Your Excellency!" As if he felt that the situation was not the same as he had imagined, an officer standing on a high place, overlooking the battle situation, looked at the chief general next to him.

However, unlike him, the main general's face was very calm, and when he heard this, he only patted him on the shoulder, signaling that he didn't need to worry. "Don't worry, there will be no problem, it's just the beginning, and after a while, the situation will change"

Sure enough, finding that no matter how he rushed, Zhao Rong became a little anxious, if it weren't for the fact that the road was too narrow and he couldn't rush up, I'm afraid Zhao Rong himself would have to go up.

And after a while, he found that the situation had changed again, that is, it was becoming more and more difficult for the men and horses on his side to attack, because I don't know why, for some reason, the Xiliang army on the opposite side was actually fighting higher and higher, and after half an hour, it was already condescending.

After taking a moment and observing carefully, Zhao Rong understood.

It turns out that these guys are constantly piling up the corpses of the war dead under their feet. In this narrow ancient road, people will die in battle every moment, and the corpses of these war dead are just used by them, and the ancient road itself is also very narrow, so they don't even need to use many corpses, so they pile up a 'hillside' about two meters high.

Don't underestimate the distance of these two meters, this is enough for these Xiliang troops to deal with them condescendingly. On the other hand, if they want to deal with these Xiliang troops, they need to raise their heads, although it will not be as troublesome as capturing Hangu Pass, but it is already quite difficult for them.

"Hell See"

Seeing that the 'hillside' was getting higher and higher with the joint efforts of both sides, Zhao Rong became a little angry.

However, he didn't have any way, if the two ancient roads were even a little wider, he would have a way to defeat the other party. However, the position occupied by the other party is the most precipitous, not only with their archers on the high places on both sides, but also with the easy use of the corpses of the dead.

That alone is enough to cause them huge trouble.

"General, what should we do now?" At this point, let alone Zhao Rong, the people around him can also see that they are in a predicament.

At present, the people on the opposite side are no longer on the same foothold, but using the corpses of the dead on both sides, a hillside has been constructed in the center of the ancient road, a hillside that they can use to resist the enemy from a high position.

"General?" Finding that Zhao Rong seemed to be a little stunned, the deputy general had to call his name again.

This time, Zhao Rong finally came back to his senses, and when he heard his words, his eyes were a little complicated. "Withdraw"

yes, let's get out

It is pointless to continue to fight like this, it is nothing more than to refresh the opponent's record, maybe from the moment the other party blocked the exit of Hangu Pass, they have lost the possibility of driving the other party out, and the current attempt is just a struggle.

Unfortunately, their struggles don't seem to have had much effect

The lieutenant general nodded when he heard this, and soon the voice of the retreating troops sounded, and the order was obtained, and the soldiers who were originally fighting in front also breathed a sigh of relief and retreated from the front.

To be honest, it was okay at the beginning, and at that time they were in contact with the other side, although the archers in the high places were very hateful and gritted their teeth, but it was not that there was no hope at all. But in the back, these Xiliang troops who were fighting against them stood higher and higher, and in the end, they even needed to raise their heads to engage the other party. You need to step on the corpse of your companion to stand at the same height as the other side, and I have to say that such a situation is really a little too shocking.

In the end, at least anyone with a little sense could see that they had lost the opportunity to drive the other party out of Hangu Pass, and everything at the moment was just a struggle.

Although the originally dense rain of arrows in the high places has begun to become sporadic and sparse, their casualties are getting bigger and bigger, and in the end, there are only more than 1,500 soldiers and horses left. And what about the other side? Of the more than 1,000 soldiers and horses, I am afraid that there are at least more than 800 people left.

—————— Dividing Line——————

Standing at Hangu Pass, at least most of the situation of the deputy general could be taken into account, and looking at the battle situation in the distance, almost everyone became anxious. Especially when the sound of Mingjin withdrawing troops sounded, some ministers couldn't help but beat hard with their hands on the city wall.

"How so!"

yes, how can this be

How so

Mmmm, I'm sorry, the rest must be made up as soon as possible
