Chapter 163: Duan Xuan retreats

From Tongguan to Hangu Pass, the trail is difficult, so Yuan Shao did not put all the people into the battlefield at once. [ads:This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:,.]

According to Li Ru's strategy, if you want to capture Hangu Pass, you must lure the imperial army out of Hangu Pass. However, if you want to lure the imperial army out of Hangu Pass, you must let the army feint. Li Ru's strategy is also very simple, that is, let Hu Zhen ambush the next people, and then let Duan Xuan go to Hangu Pass to lure the enemy and deceive him.

Duan Xuan is defeated, and if he encounters a greedy guard, he will inevitably be led out. At that time, if the number of imperial troops led out of Hangu Pass is small, then let Duan Xuan turn around and fight, until most of the defenders in Hangu Pass come out. If the number is large, let Duan Xuan run away with the imperial army, and then let Hu Zhen lead people to take advantage of the situation to capture Hangu Pass.

It's a simple strategy, but often a simple strategy is a useful strategy. Although this strategy may have cost a lot of soldiers, compared to Hangu Pass, Li Ru believes that this loss is still worth it. Another example is the assumption that the loss of less than 20,000 soldiers is acceptable.

Duan Xuan led 6,000 soldiers towards Hangu Pass, while Hu Zhen followed with 20,000 soldiers all the way, looking for a place to hide. It's just that what they don't know is that both forces are operating underground under Ye Hua's nose.

Originally, Ye Hua brought people over to ambush, and when he encountered the 6,000 people in the simmering section in front, he might have made a move. However, there are still 20,000 people behind Hu Zhen. Because Hu Zhen wanted to find a place close to Hangu Pass to set up an ambush, he didn't go too far from Duan Xuan.

Hu Zhen's 20,000 people almost didn't scare Ye Hua to death, they all planned to do it, and then so many people came out. If it weren't for the people he brought with him, Ye Hua would have really thought that the people he brought were traitors. Otherwise, how could the enemy army go in two groups?

It's just that Ye Hua is very puzzled, why would the enemy army act like this? Is there a difference between 6,000 and 26,000? Anyway, you can't spread out the army. Is it really going to be a dead end? Don't be afraid, there are many more people in Hanguguan than this.

Since he couldn't act, Ye Hua had no choice but to continue to ambush, hoping that he would be lucky enough to have some people later. It's just that at this time, Yuan Shao is sitting on the top of the Guan Tower in Tongguan, waiting for the good news of Duan Xuan.

Although Fa Zheng came back at this time, he was not treated well by Yuan Shao, although Fa Zheng successfully completed the task, but Yuan Shao only praised a few words verbally, and did not even have a decent reward. It's just that Fa Zheng was still in a fanatical worship of Yuan Shao at this time, and he didn't find anything wrong. After all, Fa Zheng was still too tender at this time.

As for Wei Zhongdao, he didn't come back after persuading Yuan Shu to send troops. Wei Zhongdao only thought about revenge in his heart, and if Yuan Shao failed to do so this time, then there would be no point for Wei Zhongdao to go back, and he could only find another person. And if Yuan Shao's trip wiped out the Ye family, then Wei Zhongdao would have no point in going back.

At the beginning, Wei Zhongdao just wanted to defeat the Ye family and fight for some space for the Wei family to survive. However, Ye Mo destroyed the Wei family, which made Wei Zhongdao extremely extreme.

If Ye Mo knew that Wei Zhongdao was stimulated by him, he didn't know how he would feel. However, Ye Mo must not regret it, after all, the people who died on the grassland of the Ye family were raised because of the Wei family, how could those who died be allowed to rest in peace if they didn't kill the people of the Wei family?

When Duan Xuan arrived at the Hangu Pass with 6,000 people, Lu Yi was taken aback, thinking that Ye Hua's army had been wiped out, so he hurriedly went to the top of the pass wall to check.

When he arrived at the top of the wall, Lu Yi suddenly felt cold in his heart, there were only 6,000 people under the wall, but they were showing off their might, if they didn't win a battle, how could they dare to be so arrogant? Moreover, at the beginning, there were only more than 6,000 people in Guanzhong, and this time Ye Hua took away 2,000 people, which must have made Duan Xuan think that there were not many defenders in Guanzhong to dare to be so arrogant.

"Push the ballista over for Lao Tzu, aim at the general, kill him and avenge the dead soldiers!" Looking at Duan Xuan, who was still a little far away, Lu Yi was furious, the range of the crossbow arrow was not so far, then Lao Tzu will kill you with a ballista to avenge General Ye Hua.

Duan Xuan stopped at a distance of a thousand steps from Hangu Pass at this time, and at this time he was still thinking about how to provoke the guards of Hangu Pass, and the guards would bring their troops out. Just when Duan Xuan was still thinking about it, he suddenly saw a little commotion on the wall, so Duan Xuan looked at the wall in confusion, not knowing what the people in the gate were doing.

"Bang, bang" came out, and Duan Xuan saw two giant crossbows flying towards him on the wall. Duan Xuan was shocked, and before he could think about it, he rolled off the horse directly. Just as Duan Xuan rolled under the horse, two giant crossbows grazed his back one after another, scaring Duan Xuan into a revenant.

Duan Xuan dodged it, but the people behind Duan Xuan were not so lucky. Behind Duan Xuan, his lieutenant and the horses under his crotch were nailed to the ground, and the end was extremely miserable. The other giant crossbow was a string of three soldiers, but at this time, these three soldiers were not dead, they just screamed vigorously, which made the morale of these people brought by Duan Xuan drop greatly.

Moreover, a very strict question is that most of these people brought by Duan Xuan were the defenders of Hangu Pass and experienced which night. At this time, these people saw this scene again, and then remembered the scene that night, and suddenly their faces turned pale and broke out in a cold sweat.

Duan Xuan was in a cold sweat at this time, after all, the two giant crossbows just now were aimed at him. Duan Xuan himself was frightened, so he did not give the correct order in time, and the morale of the army dropped greatly at this time.

If Duan Xuan could give the order in time and kill the three soldiers, the morale of the army would not have dropped so much, but how could Duan Xuan think so much at this time, he knew that he almost died just now. After standing up, Duan Xuan turned over and rode his war horse again, approached Hangu Pass a little, and shouted loudly: "Courageless, what kind of hero is commanding a sneak attack, if you have the courage, come down and fight with me!" It's just that when Duan Xuan was shouting, he didn't dare to stop in one place, but rode around on a horse.

Seeing that Duan Xuan was so cunning, the crossbow could not aim at him, so he could only angrily target the 6,000 army brought by Duan Xuan. In Ko Yi's view, if Ah Hu was destroyed, the 6,000 army must also be involved.

By mistake, Koji's order caused the 6,000-strong army to be in chaos. As soon as the ballista was loaded with arrows, an arrow was fired towards the army of six thousand. Those soldiers who had experienced that terrible night were completely panicked at this time, running around without a goal, some running towards Hangu Pass, some running backwards, in short, these six thousand troops were not saved.

Seeing this, Duan Xuan was stunned. Defeated like that? And it's not a feint, it's a real defeat. Thinking of the appearance of those soldiers after returning that day, Duan Xuan was also relieved, it was he who had overlooked some important things. At this time, it was too late to reflect on the wrong, and in desperation, Duan Xuan could only order a retreat.

Seeing that Duan Xuan's army was in chaos, Lu Yi said to Xia Mu behind him: "General Xia, please take your subordinates to kill all these enemy troops, and leave no one behind!" ”

Xia Mu didn't know why Lu Yi was so angry, but listening to Lu Yi's previous words, it seemed that it was because someone died at the hands of this army, so Xia Mu didn't persuade him to say anything like "killing prisoners unknown", and went directly to the order.

After Xia Mu came out of the customs, he led the army to chase and kill all the way. The 6,000 army brought by Duan Xuan had already dispersed, and now it would be great if Duan Xuan could have a maximum of 1,000 people by his side.

That Hu Zhen found a place to hide, and saw that Duan Xuan was really defeated, and there were less than a thousand people around him, followed by some scattered troops. Suddenly, Hu Zhen admired Duan Xuan to the point of throwing himself to the ground, looking at the feint, how similar he was pretending. After that, Xia Mu led people to chase and kill all the way, which made Hu Zhen worship Duan Xuan even more. Let the scattered soldiers attract the pursuit of the imperial army, which can not only make the imperial army not stop pursuing, but also minimize their losses, this simmer is simply wise and brave.

After Xia Mu brought all the people over, Hu Zhen stood up and said to the soldiers behind him: "General Duan Xuan's feint has attracted nearly 5,000 soldiers in Hangu Pass, which means that there are only more than 2,000 people in Hangu Pass now. We 20,000 people will definitely take Hangu Pass! ”

When all the soldiers heard Hu Zhen say this, they were all excited, and they only felt that Hangu Pass would go down today. Hu Zhen felt that if he took Hangu Pass, then Yuan Shao would be able to unite Han Fu and Yuan Shu to overthrow the imperial court, and then Yuan Shao would become emperor himself. That Hu Zhen is the founding general, the glory and wealth, the princess and the noblewoman, enjoy it inexhaustibly.

Those soldiers thought that if they were the first to climb Hangu Pass this time, they would be able to get a large amount of reward. From then on, it is no longer a dream to buy land and build a house, get promoted and rewarded, and marry the second girl in the next village.

It's just that Hu Zhen led an army of 20,000 all the way, and saw that there were corpses all over the field, and the little martial arts in the hearts of the soldiers was wiped out little by little.

At this time, Hangu Pass was closed widely, and Ko Yi stood at the gate, waiting for the news of Xia Mou's return. Perhaps, when Xia Mu comes back, he will bring Ye Hua's corpse. And other generals, such as Xu Rong, Song Xian and others, were standing behind Liyi, and they also heard Liyi say that Ye Hua took people out to ambush.

"General, enemy army, there is enemy army!" Suddenly, a soldier on the wall shouted at Koji Yoshi. The 20,000 troops brought by Hu Zhen finally arrived at this time.

When Koji Yi heard this, he was immediately shocked, and he planned to close the door. But Hu Zhen also saw the scene of the closing door of Hangu Pass, and immediately led people to rush towards the gate. And those soldiers, when they saw the door wide open at this time, the loss of seeing the corpses all the way was suddenly swept away, and they fought bravely one by one.

The wide open gate, the two thousand defenders, no matter how you look at it, is a great achievement at your fingertips.
