"Oh no!" Liu Kou let out a low roar and suddenly took a step forward.

Chu Hum and more than a dozen other generals also had their eyes wide open, staring at the front, their faces were full of disbelief, Jing Yan was still able to crack it like this? It's unheard of!

The next moment, the more than 40 wells in front of them finally fell.

The archers who were originally standing on the lookout platform of the well were like little ants that had been thrown down, and they fell down in the air one after another, and the Liang army armor soldiers who were crowded around the well were even more scattered in a hurry, but the personnel were too dense, they had no way to hide, and in an instant, hundreds of Liang army armor soldiers had been stoned to death on the spot by the broken well frame.

More than 20 ladders that could enter the gap were also crushed on the spot.

The Liang army's fierce and inevitable offensive was unexpectedly collapsed!

The corners of Liu Kou's mouth twitched violently twice, and he swallowed again. Spit, at this moment, his mood simply cannot be described, depressed? Astonished? Rage? It doesn't seem to be either, but one thing is very certain, that is, the defenders on the opposite side of the Tiger Prison Pass are definitely the Chu army, and the defenders must also be Xiang Zhuang!

Suddenly, Liu Kou raised his right hand: "Order, all battalions retreat." ”

Chu Chun rushed to the guardrail in two steps, raised a command flag and waved it vigorously.

Suddenly, a desolate horn sounded in the Liang army's array, and with the continuous sound of horns, the Liang army's armor soldiers, who were at a loss, retreated like a tide.

The tiger prison was closed, and Jing Qian went to Pang Yuxiong's mouth and punched viciously.

Pang Yu bared his teeth in pain, but a faint smile clearly bloomed on his face, what is this small victory today? If he is given 30,000 elite soldiers, Pang Yu is confident that he will wipe out the 100,000 Liang troops outside the pass in one fell swoop! Peng Yue? Liu Kou? Soldiers of the Tiger Wolf? In his Pang Yu's eyes, it's just a group of local chickens and tile dogs.

Taking a deep breath, Jing Qian suddenly raised his arms and shouted: "Hello Huaxia!" ”

The five hundred light soldiers trapped in the camp responded like a tsunami: "The etiquette collapses!" ”

"Reorganize the rivers and mountains!" Jing Qian roared again.

"I'm the only one!" This time, all the veterans of the Chu army roared along.

"I'm the only one!"

"I'm the only one!"

"I'm the only one!"

The next moment, the more than 7,000 recruits who survived the catastrophe also roared hysterically, although they had killed and injured more than 2,000 people in the very short confrontation just now, but no matter what, the Tiger Prison Pass was held after all, and they won this battle after all, for this group of recruits, this is very important, really important!

The Liang army was in the rear.

The general sighed and said gloomily: "General Liu Kou is too light on the enemy, and Jing Yan shouldn't be so close." ”

Peng Yue waved his hand and said in a difficult tone: "Don't blame him, if it was a widow command, he would do it, Xiang Zhuang Xiao'er is really cunning, he can use a chuáng crossbow to crack the well, it's unheard of." ”

Hu Yu said: "King, now that almost all of the more than 40 wells have been damaged, and more than half of the ladders and siege vehicles have been lost, can this battle be fought?" ”

Peng Yue sighed, shook his head and said, "Don't fight, order the whole army, withdraw the troops, let's go back to Aocang!" ”

After saying this, Gu Yue said again: "In the battle of Tiger Pass, the army of my Liang State has lost thousands of men and horses, and has also mounted all the siege equipment, which can be regarded as worthy of the King of Han." ”

Xingyang, Liu Bangxingyuan.

Chen Ping slowly marched forward and bowed to Liu Bang: "King, repay quickly, the army of Liang has retreated from the Tiger Prison Pass." ”

"Retreated?" Liu Bang said in a speech, "Peng Yue's army of more than 100,000 people, as well as heavy siege equipment such as wells, ladders, siege vehicles, catapults, etc., didn't even take down a small tiger prison?" Chen Ping, could it be that Peng Yue secretly reached some tacit agreement with Xiang Zhuang Xiaoer? ”

Liu Bang can't help but suspect that Peng Yue's army of more than 100,000 people, and it is also an elite division that has been in battle for a long time, especially the 30,000 horses led by the general Liu Kou, and it is a group of tiger and wolf soldiers. If there is no problem in the middle, Liu Bang will not believe it if he dies.

Although the Chu army has the advantage of the tiger prison, the Liang army also has wells, ladders and catapults.

As for the tens of thousands of Wei people who entered Sanchuan County, they were not within Liu Bang's consideration at all, and in Liu Bang's opinion, the combat effectiveness of these tens of thousands of strong men was negligible.

Chen Ping said: "King, according to the detailed reward, the Liang army has actually tried its best, the first attack due to the lack of siege equipment, the result was a fiasco, but the second attack made the mistake of underestimating the enemy, resulting in the destruction of most of the wells and ladders, the Liang army retreated in spite of the difficulties, which is also reasonable. ”

In the final analysis, Peng Yue is just Liu Bang's brother, not Liu Bang's general.

Therefore, you can't expect the Liang army to fight the Chu army to the death, that's unrealistic.

Liu Bang thought about it for a while, and felt that what Chen Ping said was also reasonable, but in this way, Sanchuan County was absolutely finished, and Hangu Pass and Guanzhong were in danger, and when Zhang Liang led the army to arrive, it would take five days to say the least, even if he threw away the heavy grain and advanced lightly, Zhang Liang's army would take at least four days to arrive in Xingyang!

Chen Ping sighed and said helplessly: "King, if you can only wait patiently until now, fortunately, Hangu Pass is the world's Xiongguan, the wall is more than six zhang high, General Gu Feng has never been cautious, Xiang Zhuang is eager to capture Hangu Pass, and Xiao Guoxiang, after hearing the news, he will definitely draw reinforcements from the pass." ”

Liu Bang was silent, there is indeed no other way now but to wait.

Three days later, in the middle of the night, the Chu army finally arrived at Caoyangyi, which was less than twenty miles away from Hangu Pass.

As early as before the arrival of the main force of the Chu army, Gao Chu had already razed Caoyangyi with a thousand elite soldiers of the Nufeng battalion.

In order to keep up with the time, from the more than 5,000 Han prisoners of war captured at Tiger Prison Pass to the point of almost prostration, to the last one almost dragging ladders, wells, and siege vehicles to crawl forward, Gongsun Sui's cavalry team did not continue to kill people except for dozens of people to demonstrate at the beginning, and then did not continue to kill, otherwise, these more than 5,000 prisoners of war would have been killed long ago.

In the dark night, Gao Chu slowly came to Xiangzhuang with the scout team.

"General." Gao Chu Chong Xiang Zhuang made a salute, and said, "Everything is as usual in Hanguguan." ”

Xiang Zhuang said: "In other words, no reinforcements have arrived in the past few days, and the defenders have not sent scouts out of the customs?" ”

Gao Chu said: "There are definitely no reinforcements, but the scout team sent a few, but they were all intercepted and killed by the last general." ”

Xiang Zhuang nodded, and inadvertently looked up, but saw a lonely waning moon hanging on the mountain beam in the west, and then estimated the time, it is now the ugly time in the early morning, and there should be an hour before dawn! Suddenly, a thought jumped out of Xiang Zhuang's mind like lightning, the waning moon was like a hook, and the waning moon was like a hook......

The next moment, Xiang Zhuang turned around and instructed Gongsun Sui: "Gongsun Sui, immediately tell all the battalions, except for the general and the colonel, the rest of the soldiers all take off the armor of the Han army, look for rags and rags from Caoyangyi and nearby farmhouses to wear, and the ordnance used should also be replaced with wooden swords and bamboo halberds...... No mercy! ”

"No!" Gongsun then agreed to the promise, and immediately rode his horse and galloped away.

Behind Xiang Zhuang, Wu Shi looked confused, not knowing what Xiang Zhuang wanted to do.

Wei Yi brushed his beautiful hair under his chin, but quickly guessed Xiang Zhuang's intentions, and immediately gave Xiang Zhuang a thumbs up, and praised in a low voice: "The general is well versed in the essence of war, and he is old and obedient." ”

Xiang Zhuang waved his hand and said lightly: "The military advisor has won the award." ”

To be honest, in front of Wei Yu, Xiang Zhuang really didn't have the capital to get Se.

This old guy is probably inferior to Xiang Zhuang in terms of tactical planning, but in terms of strategic planning, he is definitely the best in the world, even Zhang Liang and Chen Ping, and they may not be stronger than Wei Yi.

Hangu Pass, Gu Feng Xingyuan.

Adjutant General Tang Chengzheng reported the military situation to Gu Fengyu: "General, Prime Minister Xiao Guo replied with flying horses, and the reinforcements will arrive in three days at the earliest, and the first batch of reinforcements is only 5,000 people." ”

"Five thousand will do." Gu Fengdao: "It's better than nothing." ”

After saying this, Gu Feng said again: "What about the scout team sent to Kanto, is there any news?" ”

Tang Cheng shook his head and replied: "The last general has sent more than a dozen scout teams, but there has been no news back yet, most of them were intercepted and killed by the rebels, so it is not clear the exact details of the rebels, however, the rebels who have been operating outside the customs in the past two days have been doing more and more, I think, the rebel army should be coming soon." ”

"No news coming back?" Gu Feng frowned for a moment.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the line, and then a personal soldier slowly entered and knelt down on one knee to report to Gu Fengyu: "General, there are a large number of rebels outside the pass!" ”

"Huh?!" Gu Feng Huo Ran changed sè, and said to Tang Chengdao, "Go!" ”

At that moment, the two of them went up to Dongguan at the fastest speed, stood on the enemy tower in Dongguan and looked out, and sure enough, they saw that a vague torch dragon had appeared on the gallop road outside Hangu Pass, and under the dark night sky, this torch dragon stretched for more than ten miles, and continued to extend to a distant place that was difficult to reach.

"General!" Tang Cheng said awe-inspiringly: "The rebels have 20,000 people, to say the least!" ”

Feng nodded, and said, "I just don't know if the rebels have heavy siege equipment such as ladders, wells, siege vehicles, etc., if not, then only 20,000 rebels are not to worry about at all." ”

"General, I'm afraid that Xiangzhuang's thousands of Chu troops are also among them." Tang Cheng prompted.

"You're right, our army can't be careless." Gu Feng said solemnly, "Starting from tonight, the number of night guards on Dongguan will increase tenfold, and the number of night patrol teams will increase by another twenty!" ”

"No!" Tang Cheng suddenly agreed, and immediately took the order.

Less than half an hour later, the rebels who were surging along the gallop finally arrived at the Hangu Pass.

Through the vague light of the fire, Gu Feng saw a large group of rebels in tattered clothes and disheveled armor, seeing this scene, the corners of Gu Feng's mouth couldn't help but bloom a faint smile...
