Chapter 165: Hu Zhen surrenders

Just as Hao Meng rushed towards the closing door, a turning point appeared. [ads:This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:,.] In the rear of the Xiliang army, Ye Hua and Xia Mu dealt with Duan Xuan's more than 1,000 defeated soldiers. After the two armies met, Ye Hua asked Xia Mu about the situation of Hangu Pass, and after hearing Xia Mu say that only this team of 6,000 people would attack Hangu Pass, Ye Hua probably guessed the plan of the Xiliang army.

Xia Mu listened to Ye Hua's words, and knew that there was still a team of 20,000 Xiliang Army, and he was immediately startled, fortunately, the team was afraid that Xia Mu's people would flee and some people would flee back, so they didn't make a move against them, otherwise, these more than 4,000 people would definitely die.

The two did not hesitate, since there was still a 20,000-strong Xiliang army, then they must be attacking Hangu Pass at this time.

Sure enough, when the two of them rushed back with the army, the Xiliang army was attacking towards Hangu Pass regardless of the casualties. Immediately, the spear-throwing warrior threw a batch of short spears and landed among the soldiers who were waiting behind the Xiliang army.

In an instant, a thousand short spears pierced the body of the Xiliang soldier, making a "poof" sound. Some of the impaled soldiers were not killed, and even let out a lone wolf howl.

Those Xiliang soldiers heard that there was a movement behind them, but when they turned around, they found that they had killed a court army. In their expectations, the imperial army chasing Duan Xuan would keep chasing, and it was impossible for them to come back so soon, after all, they were all running, and they would always run faster if they ran for their lives.

Moreover, the imperial army that appeared in the back now was a little different from the army before it, and it was also the case that they were puzzled. However, now is not the time to think so much, some of the soldiers of the Xiliang Army, under the command of the commander, turned around and killed the imperial army.

It's just that Ye Hua would be stupid enough to put a thousand spear-throwing soldiers in front of him to be directly impacted by the Xiliang army? A thousand pikemen were placed in front of the spear-throwing warriors, directly facing the onslaught of the Western Liang army, while the spear-throwing warriors stood behind the pikemen and could continue to throw short spears at the Western Liang army.

This made those Xiliang troops miserable, and they also brought archers, but all those archers were sent to the front of Hangu Pass to shoot at the imperial army on the wall of the pass to cover the attack of the Xiliang army. It's just that in this way, these Xiliang troops in the rear will be miserable, not only have to face the threat brought by the pikemen in front, but also have to be on guard at any time to be able to fall from the sky with short spears.

After the reserve battalion led by Hao Meng was put into the battle for the closing of the gate, Hu Zhen's Xiliang army suddenly felt unbearable, and was forced to withdraw step by step.

After Hu Zhen withdrew, he looked at the imperial army on the wall, and suddenly felt a big feeling. There are no less than 3,000 imperial army troops on this wall, and at least more than 1,000 people have been invested in the battle for the gate, and the intelligence of Hangu Pass said that there are only more than 6,000 people in Hangu Pass, but now there are nearly 9,000 people, plus the dead court soldiers on the wall, this Hangu Pass has at least more than 10,000 people.

"I've been tricked, withdraw!" After Hu Zhen withdrew from the gate, he shouted loudly at his own army. The commander who gave the order heard Hu Zhen say this, and hurriedly called Jin to withdraw his troops. However, after Mingjin, they found out that there was still a battle in the rear.

To say that this Hangu Pass is indeed difficult to attack and easy to defend, although Hu Zhen brought 20,000 Xiliang troops over, but in addition to a relatively open place in front of the pass, the soldiers in the rear of the Xiliang army are still more than two miles away. At the beginning, the sound of killing in Hangu Pass shook the sky, so Hu Zhen and the others did not hear the shouting and killing sound from the rear. But now that the troops had just retreated from the front, the shouts of killing from the rear could be heard clearly.

Hu Zhen They are in a mess at this time, this kind of terrain, there is no place to escape, is it possible to escape to the mountains? But how sinister the Qinling Mountains are, who dares to flee to the mountains?

Hu Zhen is in a dilemma at this time, but it doesn't mean that Xu Rong and Liyi will let them go. When they were in Hangu Pass, they also heard the shouting and killing sound from behind these people, and suddenly, these people didn't care about the fatigue of the hard battle, and led the army out of the pass.

There were too many corpses piled up at the gate, so Xu Rong led the army to directly borrow the cloud ladder used by the Xiliang Army when he attacked the key points before, and the Xiliang Army was dumbfounded.

"Those who surrender will not die, and they will not surrender!" After Xu Rong rushed down the wall, he shouted loudly at the Xiliang army opposite. Hearing the Lord's shout, the soldiers around him also shouted loudly.

"General, it seems to be General Xu Rong." At this time, after a commander beside Hu Zhen saw Xu Rong, he said to Hu Zhen.

Hu Zhen didn't see that person was Xu Rong, but Hu Zhen couldn't say it. At this time, when Hu Zhen heard the commander beside him say Xu Rong's name, he neither scolded loudly nor stopped him, but just sighed, his meaning was clear.

When the soldiers of the Xiliang Army heard that it was General Xu Rong on the other side, they suddenly loosened the weapons they were holding in their hands. If you can't die, who wants to die? Before, they were worried that they would be killed if they surrendered, but now, they knew that it was their original General Xu Rong on the other side, and they couldn't help but feel a little relieved in their hearts.

"Those who descend will not die!" Seeing that the Xiliang Army had not moved, Xu Rong shouted again. He knew how many people were in Hangu Pass, even if the gate of Hangu Pass was lost, these soldiers of the Xiliang Army might not be able to take Hangu Pass, at this time, these Xiliang Army had no morale, and if they continued to fight, these soldiers would definitely be wiped out. After all, Xu Rong was the commander of the Xiliang Army, and among these people, there might be his original subordinates, and he couldn't do it.

"If you don't surrender yet, what are you waiting for?" Xu Rong walked straight to Xiliangjun and asked loudly.

Hu Zhen looked at Xu Rong right in front of him, he knew that Xu Rong's martial arts were not as good as him, and if he made a move now, he would definitely be able to kill Xu Rong. However, Hu Zhen couldn't do it, after all, he used to be in the same army. Sighing, Hu Zhen came out of the crowd, walked in front of Xu Rong, knelt down and said: "Under the tent of the former general Dong Zhuo, the general of Xiliang, Hu Zhen, led the crowd to surrender. ”

Xiliangjun was shocked, and Xu Rong was also a little surprised. He knew that Hu Zhen would definitely surrender considering the lives of so many soldiers in the Xiliang Army, but what he didn't expect was that Hu Zhen surrendered in the name of Dong Zhuo's generals.

Hu Zhen did this, and naturally he had a reason. I just want to tell Xu Rong that we used to be robes, and if these people surrendered, they couldn't be killed. Second, it is also to tell those Xiliang soldiers that we are Dong Zhuo's soldiers, not the soldiers of the so-called Yuan Shao of the Yuan family, the third prince of the fourth world.

Those generals of the Western Liang Army were also dissatisfied with Yuan Shao, who had been expanding his own strength since he took over Dong Zhuo's power. The Xiliang army used to have more than 100,000 people, but now, in addition to the 26,000 people of Hu Zhen and Duan Xuan, there are only more than 10,000 people left under Dong Cheng.

But as for Yuan Shao's relatives and generals, Chun Yuqiong has a full 50,000 people, and these people exceed the total number of the Xiliang army. Wen Chou's subordinates are 5,000 people, but these 5,000 people are all heavy cavalry, and their combat strength is no worse than that of 30,000 or 20,000 Xiliang soldiers.

If that's the case, what if it's lowered? Moreover, it is not that everyone has never fought before, but the strength is really not good.

All of a sudden, the soldiers of the Xiliang Army knelt down like dominoes, disarmed and surrendered. The soldiers in the back didn't know what the situation was, but they saw the people in front of them kneeling down, and suddenly, they also knelt down. The Xiliang sergeant who was still fighting with the imperial army felt that something was wrong, and there was no one behind him to support, and when he looked back, he was all kneeling on the ground. So, these people also knelt down, and when they knelt and surrendered, they didn't forget to pull the clothes of their comrades-in-arms.

This battle was indeed tragic. Hu Zhen brought 20,000 people, but in the end, only more than 10,000 people surrendered, and the rest were all killed. As for the imperial army, more than 700 people were killed and wounded in the Xiandeng camp, more than 400 pikemen were killed and wounded, and the rest of the soldiers were also killed and wounded more than 3,000 people.

Although the losses were a bit heavy, after all, it was a big blow to Yuan Shao's strength. After holding Hangu Pass, Xu Rong and the others did not retreat, but just asked Zhang Xiu to bring 5,000 people back to report the situation, while the rest of the people were planning how to defeat Tongguan.

In Luoyang City, Huang Cong has been released. Ye Mo received the news before, and Yuan Shu moved. At this time, Ye Mo understood why he was restless.

Ye Mo thought that Liu Biao would move, that Tao Qian would suddenly regain his youthful domineering, and that the Huns would make a comeback again, but he didn't expect Yuan Shu to move. Yuan Shu has always been at odds with Yuan Shao, just to compete for the position of the head of the Yuan family.

Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao both have different intentions and want to be emperors. However, the Yuan family's resources are only so many, and only by getting all the resources of the Yuan family can they succeed. In Ye Mo's previous life, the two of them each got half of the resources of the Yuan family, and they were also the two largest princes in the late Eastern Han Dynasty for a period of time.

But in this life, the imperial power is still there, and Yuan Huai is not dead. Under Ye Mo's persuasion, Yuan Huai also planned to hand over the position of the head of the Yuan family to Yuan Yi, who was also an official in Luoyang City at this time. Since the resources of the Yuan family do not have the affairs of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, then it is said that these two will unite. After all, neither of them is stupid, or Yuan Shao is not stupid.

As for Yuan Shu, as long as there are enough benefits, as long as he is happy, he may obey you to do anything. Yuan Shao is wide on the outside and taboo on the inside, indecisive; But Yuan Shu is different, Yuan Shu can put all the soldiers in the hands of Ji Ling, although Ji Ling is not very good at commanding troops; can also let Yang Hong give advice to him, although Yang Hong doesn't have any great skills.

After that, Ji was inspired by Yuan Shu, and it was okay to lead the army to fight later, Yang Hong was the most selfish, but he spared no effort to give advice and make envoys run for Yuan Shu.

Ye Mo brought Huang Cong out of death row in order to let Huang Cong lead people to face Yuan Shao. At this time, there were few generals in the DPRK and China, and since this person could command the Janissaries, he must also be able to command the troops to fight. And the DPRK now has almost no soldiers and horses, and in addition to the five hundred two-handed swordsmen that Dian Wei is training, he can only draw 1,000 people from the forbidden army. And the army dispatched by Yuan Shu was at least 30,000. xh118
