Chapter 131: Burning the Tiger Prison
Tiger pass.
In the continuous sound of horns, the Han army congested under Dongguan finally retreated like a tide.
Jing Qian let out a long sigh of relief, and sat down on the messy wall, and Pang Yu also leaned against the battlement not far away, and puffed and puffed.
As far as the eye can see, there are corpses of Han soldiers everywhere under the gate.
Most of the corpses had already been charred, and that was the work of the fiery oil.
On the wall, there are also corpses lying there, but this is the corpse of a soldier of the Chu army.
The Han army's well still formed a great threat to the defenders of Guanshang's two days of siege, and the defenders of Guanshang were shot and killed by at least more than 2,000 Han archers on the wells! Pang Yu's bed crossbow raid had severely damaged Liang Junjing's Han army, but he learned to be obedient, and he was not close to the wall at all within fifty steps.
Too far apart' giant arrows dragging giant ropes are difficult to hit the target.
Fortunately, there is still fierce fire oil, otherwise the Tiger Prison Pass would have been lost.
After a long time, Jing Qiancai finally relieved himself and said to Pang Yu: "Liu Bang Lao'er seems to be crazy. ,’
"Liu Bang Lao'er is not crazy, but anxious. Pang Yu shook his head and said, "But then again, 'Liu Bang Lao'er is not in a hurry, it's been six or seven days' The general may break the Hangu Pass at any time, and once the Hangu Pass is broken, there will be no danger to defend until the Han army in Xianyang, do you say Liu Bang Lao'er is not in a hurry?" ,’
Jing Qian looked left and right, and said worriedly: "I don't know when the general will be able to break the Hangu Pass?" ,’
"yes. ,' Pang Yu nodded and 'agreed' "There is not much left of the fierce fire oil on the close" There is not much left of the rolling wood and stones, once the fierce fire oil is exhausted, the Tiger Prison Pass is afraid that the Dan Sword will be lost. ,’
As soon as the words fell, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded on the long street in the city.
When Jing Qian and Pang Yu hurriedly got up to look, they saw that a fast horse had rushed to the east pass like a whirlwind, and then rushed straight to the pass along the long oblique horse road, and before they could turn over and dismount, the cavalry on horseback took off their burdens from their backs, and then shouted loudly: "Where is the former general Huan Chu?" There is an emergency army yet,. ”’
Before the words fell, a large group of generals and colonels swarmed out of the enemy building.
The first two are the former general Huan Chu of Great Chu and the left general Ji Bu.
"Huan Chu is here!" Huan Chu strode forward and said loudly, "Where is the general's military order?" ,’
"The military order is here! The cavalryman immediately knelt down on one knee and took the book in his hand with both hands.
Cabinet Chu took the book and read it slowly, and then looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hahaha, 'Great joy, the general's army has broken the Hangu Pass', our army has broken the Hangu Pass!" ,’
The soldiers of the Chu army at the moment when Huan Chu's voice fell were stunned at first, and then they immediately cheered.
Jing Qian and Pang Yu couldn't help but high-five, and celebrated, 'Hangu Pass is broken, and there is no need to defend Tiger Prison Pass anymore' The army of Chu is completely able to hold the more majestic Hangu Pass to resist Liu Bang's army!
At that moment, Jing Qian said eagerly: "What does General Huan Chu's military order say?" ,’
Huan Chu raised Yang Shujian's voice and said: "The general ordered us to give up the tiger prison immediately and retreat to Hangu Pass!" ,’
"So what are we waiting for! Ji Bu was overjoyed when he heard this, and couldn't wait to say, "It just so happens that the tiger prison is almost unguardable, so let's leave quickly at night!" ,’
Cabinet Chu also said: "Order the whole army to prepare to retreat!" ,’
"Two generals, wait! When Pang Yu heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded, "If our army leaves like this, the Han army will definitely chase and kill, and when the time comes, our army will not retreat, nor will it be defended." After all, Pang Yu has read the book of soldiers, and he knows that he is particular about retreating.
Huan Chu was a big old man, and said disappreciably: "Afraid of a bird? ”
Ji Bu felt that Pang Yu's worries were justified and said, "Pang Yu, what do you say to do?" ,’
Pang Yu said: "The last general thought that the two generals led the army to sneak in first, but they couldn't light torches, and the soldiers of the various armies couldn't make loud noises, and all the horses should also be wrapped in hooves and mouths, so as not to be discovered by the Han army!" , 'paused' and said, "The last general and General Jing Qian led three hundred elites to be responsible for the break!" ,’
Huan Chu frowned and said, "Is this necessary?" ,’
Ji Bu persuaded: "Lao Huan, it's not a big mistake to be careful!" ,’
"Okay, okay. , 'Huan Chu was helpless' immediately turned around and instructed the captain of the personal soldiers, "Order, all battalions are not allowed to light torches", all soldiers are not allowed to make noise, all horses are wrapped in hooves, and their mouths are caged, and they are immediately opened! At the same time, 'at the same time' Tibu also gave orders to his left army to turn in.
Jing Qian, Pang Yu's 300 light soldiers stayed.
Seeing the two armies of Chu and Ji Bu leaving, Pang Yu said to Jing Qian again: "General, we should also prepare." ,’
Jing Qian said: "What is there to prepare?" The bodies of the fallen have been cremated and the ashes have been collected. ,’
"That's not what the Admiral said. ,' Pang Yu sighed and patiently commented, ''In one night's time, the armies of Huan Chu and Ji Bu may not be able to go too far' Once Liu Bang Lao'er sent elite cavalry to chase, he would still be able to catch up, so 'we still have to set up an obstacle in the Tiger Prison Pass' to try to stop the Han army from chasing the soldiers. ,
"Obstacles? Jing Qian is also a big old man, and he said suspiciously, "What obstacle?" ,’
"Set fire! "Let's pour the rest of the fierce fire oil on the barracks in the pass" and then burn it to all his mothers, "As soon as the fire burns, don't think about extinguishing it in three or two days, Liu Bang Lao'er and his army can only stay outside the gate and stare dryly, hehe." ,’
"Oops. Jing Qian said in a speech, "Pang Yu, I have yours." ,’
Pang Yu smiled lightly and said nothing, but he thought in his heart that this son's more than ten years of military books were not read in vain.
At that moment, Jing Qian and Pang Yu left fifty people to keep vigil, and then took the rest of the people to busy.

Outside the Tiger Prison Pass' Liu Bang Camp.
Following Zhou Bo, the elite soldiers of 'Which Shang and Xiahou Ying have also arrived, and now' the elite soldiers gathered under Liu Bang's command have exceeded 60,000, but 'Zhang Liang's main army and the follow-up crows and heavy grain and grass are still a hundred miles away' will not arrive at the Tiger Prison until tomorrow evening at the earliest.
The atmosphere in the big tent was a little solemn, and Liu Bang was pacing back and forth with anxiety on his face.
Zhou Bo, Which Shang, Xiahou Ying and Chen Ping stared wide-eyed, and no one dared to make a sound.
After a long time, Liu Bang paused and said to Chen Ping: "Chen Ping, how about a sudden attack at night?" ,’
Liu Bang didn't want to wait any longer, and he didn't dare to wait any longer, if Xiang Zhuang Xiao'er didn't want to enter Guanzhong, Liu Bang didn't want the foundation of Guanzhong that he had managed to operate with great difficulty to be destroyed by Xiang Zhuang.
Chen Ping said: "The Chu army is heavily garrisoned, and the sneak attack is not a big success. ,’
"No matter how much. Liu Bang looked around at the generals and said, "Who dares to take the order?" ,’
When Xiahou Ying was about to come out of the ranks, a young general had already snatched out of the class from behind Zhou Bo, and said proudly: "The last general is willing to go!" ,’
When Liu Bang fixed his eyes, "but it was Zhou Bo's only son, Zhou Guanfu", he nodded happily and said: "Okay, the widow will give you three thousand elites, and you must win the Tiger Prison Pass tonight!" After saying this, Liu Bang said again, "If the widow is not mistaken, you seem to be about to turn eighteen years old. ,’
"Your Majesty, just look at it. Zhou Guanfu said proudly, "The last general will not be dishonored!" ,’
'Three quarters' is the darkest time before dawn.
Jing Qian and Pang Yu were busy with more than 200 veterans for most of the night, and finally laid dry firewood, artemisia grass and other flammable materials under the eaves of the barracks, warehouses, barns, and other buildings and on the roofs.
Jing Qian, Pang Yu and more than 300 veterans are sitting under the pass to rest.
Close, 'more than 50 veterans are patrolling back and forth', but seeing that they are about to leave the tiger prison, 'everyone's minds are no longer here', so one by one is inevitably a little careless.
After a moment's rest, Jing Qian said to Pang Yu again: "Pang Yu, you rest again, I'll go close and take a turn." ”
Pang Yu nodded, and said to Jing Qian: "General, it's almost over, why don't you set fire to it?" ,’
"There's no hurry. Jing Qian waved his hand and said, "When Liu Bang's army enters the pass after dawn, let's set fire to it again, hehe' The old man will kill thousands more of his people before leaving." ,’
After that, Jing Qian slowly went up to the gate.
Pang Yu frowned, "I really want to persuade Jing Qian."
As the saying goes, when the moon is full is lost, when the water is full, it overflows, 'everything can't be too much, otherwise it will be too much', but Pang Yu thought about it, 'Jing Qian is a big old man, and he told him that these things are simply playing the piano to the cow, so he didn't say anything.
Besides, when Jing Qian 'strode to the juncture', he saw more than fifty veterans of the night vigil sitting together in twos and threes, laughing and chatting, Jing Qian frowned, and was about to reprimand a few words, 'There was a strange sound in the dark night sky ahead, and when he looked up, he saw that more than a dozen live ladders had turned over, and Huo Ran was still full of people on the ladder!
Jing Qian's pupils contracted sharply in an instant, and he immediately shouted: "Enemy attack" enemy attack! ,’
Before the words fell, more than a dozen live ladders were already in a continuous "bang," "bang," and leaned heavily against the wall, and the dozens of Han army armor soldiers who climbed in the front half of the ladder indirectly jumped down to the wall, and the leader was a white-robed young general with a face like Fu Fan and sword eyebrows, but he was holding a pair of iron halberds of about six feet.
This white-robed young general is naturally Zhou Guanfu, the only son of the famous Han general Zhou Bo.
The Han army almost adopted the same tactics as the Chu army, 'taking advantage of the cover of night to push the cloud ladder to the pass and indirectly capture the city.
Zhou Guanfu took the lead in the soldiers, and with more than 200 sharp soldiers, he attached the live ladder and indirectly climbed onto the wall, and before the live ladder completely hooked the battlement, Zhou Guanfu jumped down on the wall, and then saw Jing Qian, who was roaring, and then the halberds in his hands hit each other, and there was an explosion in an instant, and then he threw off and strode towards Jing Qian
