Chapter 574: Liu Fan enters the Han Valley
The archer took the opportunity to lean down and shoot downward, and the wave of offensive under Duan Xuan's command was directly disintegrated.
The captain guarding Hangu Pass received the news of Liu Fan's attack on Hangu Pass, and knew that the 200 soldiers at the pass would not be able to hold it. In the case of a shortage of troops, 500 soldiers were mobilized to come to Hangu Pass to support.
As soon as the five hundred soldiers arrived, they directly filled in the vacancy in the wall, and Liu Fanjun, who attacked Hangu Pass, did not even climb half of the ladder, and all of them fell.
"Send archers to Hangu Pass eighty paces down and throw rockets at the city wall."
Liu Fan did not plan to send any more soldiers up to his death. Ready to come up with rockets that only he has in his army.
Five hundred archers took their bows and carried torches to Hangu Pass, eighty paces away.
The Hangu Pass soldiers condescended and fired at the archers with arrows, but they were blocked by the tight shields in front of them.
The soldier stretched out his bow and arrows, and the tarpaulin on the arrowhead of the rocket was set on fire by the man who carried the fire.
The soldiers fired arrows, and rockets were thrown at Hangu Pass.
The castle towers behind the gate were all made of wood and were burned instantly.
Some rockets landed next to the hapless ones and shot them to death.
It rained like fire from the sky, causing the soldiers on the wall to panic.
Faced with this predicament, the soldiers of Hanguguan once again asked for the support of the captain of the guard.
The captain guarding the pass is resisting Hu Zhen's offensive at this moment, and Hu Zhen is sending dead soldiers to attack without his life.
The captain of the guard relied on the terrain and was able to resist it for the time being. He knew that the Hangu Pass Wall was the top priority, and once Liu Fan entered the Pass, under the attack from both sides, he would not be able to support the arrival of reinforcements at all.
There were still more than 600 soldiers by his side, and he ordered half of the soldiers to go to Hangu Pass again to support.
With fewer and fewer soldiers guarding the passage, this box-like valley is already dangerous.
Hu Zhen forged the road with blood, and the valley was covered with corpses.
But if there are only 300 Hangu Pass left, it will take more cost and more time.
Hu Zhen listened to the neighing of the horses, and suddenly thought of a clever plan.
He ordered the soldiers to withdraw from the valley, and all the cavalry to dismount.
He led the two horses to the mouth of the valley and stabbed them in the buttocks with a spear.
The horse was in pain and ran madly into the valley.
The soldiers of Hangu Pass in the valley stood up with their shields and spears, and their horses slammed into the spears and shields, and although they died, they made the shield bearers retreat several steps.
Immediately afterwards, Hu Zhen used the same way to drive the war horses one by one out of the valley.
The soldiers of Hanguguan in the valley stabbed a war horse to death, and another one came running.
The horses were thick and tough, which made the arms of the soldiers of Hanguguan sore, and the horses made them dizzy.
In this case, Hu Zhen did not hesitate to take the horse, holding the mentality that either you die or I die.
After the three hundred war horses entered the valley, the carcasses of the horses piled up in the valley, and they couldn't even see the soldiers of Hanguguan on the opposite side.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hu Zhen held a shield in one hand and a spear in the other, selected more than a dozen of the bravest soldiers, and rushed into the valley together.
"Hu Zhen is here!"
Hu Zhen jumped down from the pile of corpses, shouted loudly, and stabbed a Hanguguan soldier to death with a spear.
The others wanted to pierce Hu Zhen, but they were tossed by the war horse, and their whole body was weak, and this place was no longer the narrowest part of the valley, Hu Zhen's combat power was at its peak, and he easily blocked all their attacks with his shield.
Warriors from the left and right, spears in hand, stabbed dozens of people in a row, and came to a wider place.
More and more soldiers under Hu Zhen's command entered the valley, followed Hu Zhen, and advanced to the end of the valley.
"Stop them! Block them! ”
The captain of the guard shouted with a knife, but there were only more than 200 people beside him. The light of the fire on the city shook their hearts.
Groups of Hangu Pass defenders supported the city walls, causing Hu Zhen to find an opportunity to drive straight in.
"Haha...... I want to really wait for the general!"
Seeing that victory was in sight, Hu Zhen became more and more courageous the more he fought.
He speared and stabbed, and all the soldiers he fought with were stabbed down before they could be stabbed in three combinations.
Night had fallen, and the captain of the guard only led dozens of people to retreat, but there was no way out, so he had no choice but to retreat to the wall of Hangu Pass.
At this time, on the wall of Hangu Pass, it was a mess.
The captain of the guard came to support 1,000 soldiers, but under the strong attack of Liu Fanjun, half of them were killed or wounded.
Hundreds of remnants guarded the pass, and from time to time soldiers died under bows and arrows.
Liu Fan also organized infantry to attack the city from time to time, but all of them ended in failure!
Liu Fan didn't panic. The sound of gold and iron in the pass continues, and it is these stubborn people on the Hangu Pass who should be even more panicked.
Liu Fan, Zhao Yun, Duan Xuan and others stood in front of the pass, and they could hear the sound of fighting in the pass.
They knew that Hu Zhen and Yang Ding's soldiers and horses had already reached the Hangu Gate, and they were only one step away from victory!
Hu Zhen also sent a part of the soldiers to attack the soldiers on the Hangu Pass from the corridor of Shangguan.
He also ordered another part of the soldiers to remove all the boulders blocked in front of the Hangu Gate, let go of the gate, and open the Hangu Gate.
Hu Zhen personally held the torch high and waved it at the gate of Hangu Pass.
"Haha! Now I entered the pass, the pass trembled, and Rong Di surrendered! Those who follow my will live, and those who go against my will die! ”
Liu Fan laughed loudly and spoke.
Hu Zhen's subordinates have rushed up to the city tower and fought fiercely with the soldiers on the city tower!
Liu Fan ignored the sound of the sword soldiers above, and led his subordinates to Hangu Pass.
A team of dragon bird guards quickly rode into Hangu Pass, ran along the corridor to the pass, and cooperated with Hu Zhen's department to destroy the last counterattack on Hangu Pass.
"It turned out to be a literary talent! The heroes of Liangzhou really understand the righteousness! Today's letter valley has made me enter the Kansai region, and my literary talent has made great contributions, and I think no one will have an opinion! ”
Under the light of the fire, Liu Fan could see Hu Zhen's face clearly, and he recognized Hu Zhen's identity at a glance.
"I am very happy that I can help the prime minister today to capture Hangu Pass, but it is not enough for the prime minister to move me with a word. I am an unknown person, and I am honored to be in the eyes of the prime minister. ”
Seeing Liu Fan, who was guarding the group, coupled with Liu Fan's full of neutrality when he spoke, Hu Zhen didn't need to guess, he knew that the person in front of him was Liu Fan, the current prime minister.
He threw down the torch and bowed down. Liu Fan recognized him at a glance, and it really moved Hu Zhen.
"Wencai, please."
Liu Fan helped Hu Zhen up and said to the left and right: "This is Liangzhou Haojie Hu Zhen, Hu Wencai." I am very happy to get the letter to Guguan today. I'm even happier that I've got another great general! ”
Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Xu Chu and others bowed their hands to Hu Zhen. Duan Xuan nodded to Hu Zhen, he already knew Hu Zhen.
"Although the prime minister took the letter to Guguan and entered Liangzhou, there are many strong enemies, Hu Zhen is willing to cut through all obstacles for the prime minister, this is the only thing Hu Zhen can repay the prime minister."
Hu Zhen said with a firm look in his eyes.
When he was Dong Zhuo's subordinate, Hu Zhen only wanted to make contributions. When he took refuge in Liu Fan, he had an urge to die!
