Chapter 91: Breaking the Barrier

Those screams were made by several dog officers and soldiers who were stabbed to death by this guy's armored cavalry and suddenly came to the front of the formation.

Most of the horsemen were on the edge of the battlefield in a large circle, driving the rout back to the clearing in front of the pass. In the blink of an eye, several infantry units of the Gangfeng Battalion drove up, mercilessly slashing and killing those exhausted officers and soldiers. Before the division with the phalanx, the formation had already dispersed, and everyone was chasing and slashing their own targets, and with each cut, the pursuers abandoned their blades, and searched the unlucky ghost inside and out, and those who turned over to the silver money smiled freely, and those who fought in vain often hatefully made up for the angry sword, standing up and looking for the next target...... Regardless of whether they were officers and soldiers or thieves, these were the standard practices of all soldiers on the battlefield of that era. Slightly different from other troops, no one picked up the armor, and no one cut off the head - Gu Manzi's Gangfeng battalion is the absolute main force, and the armor rate is second only to the marshal's personal guard battalion, and when the auxiliary team finishes cleaning the battlefield, they are indispensable. As for the first level, Dashuai won't talk about that here.

After all, it is a handsome, after all, it is a handsome's personal guard battalion!

The Breaking Sky Battalion did not join the robbery, and the teams quickly formed a solid phalanx under Guan Shengyun's order, and passed straight through Zhang Ding's hollow phalanx, strictly blocking the gate in front of the gate, guarding for reinforcements of officers and soldiers who had not appeared until now.

Gong Derun came to Zhang Ding, nodded slightly, and raised his right arm to summon the Zhenyong Battalion to be built. The brothers of the Zhenyong battalion gathered behind Gong Derun with their exhausted steps, the wounded were carried and the dead and seriously injured were carried. Gong Derun frowned and looked at his subordinates sadly, turned his head and just wanted to scold Zhang Ding angrily for not feeling distressed about using other people's soldiers as cannon fodder, when he saw the Thunderbolt camp behind him, the loss was not more than his own, he closed his mouth knowingly, got off the horse and came closer, and patted Zhang Ding heavily with emotion.

At this time, Zhang Ding was still in a dream: This is a victory? Why didn't the dog officer army come out for reinforcements? You just played the drum of the general attack!? Why didn't there be any movement at the juncture?

A burst of cheers woke Zhang Ding up.

The cheers were given by Camp Perak.

Looking up along the line of sight of everyone, Gu Baisong led several cavalry guards to gallop along the horse road, each dragging the defender's flag upside down, the command flag, the deputy general flag, and the thousand general flag...... Running back and forth on the wall, the flag that was abandoned on the battlefield not long ago to lure the enemy to attack has already been picked up, and at this moment, it is flying high above the gate, waving in the wind!

With the cheers of the Perak Battalion, the battlefield boiled, cheers and shouts everywhere, and the loudest voices were the already exhausted Perak Battalion and Gong Derun's Zhenyong Battalion!

Damn, fooled!

There are no reinforcements at all!

That drum is fucking messing around!

His grandmother's almost scared me to death!

The constant deployment of manpower from the stressed front line to guard against non-existent threats caused at least seven or eight more lives to be taken out of the front row! Scare yourself into a small matter, and you can't be laughed to death by everyone when you spread it? Gu Manzi is not allowed to make fun of Lao Tzu for this for the rest of his life - but Lao Tzu has killed and injured so many sons!

Zhang Dingtie, who was furious, blushed his face, strode out of the formation with a long knife, and every time he saw a guy who was lying on the ground begging for mercy, he slashed down fiercely......

Guan Shengyun, Gong Derun, and the others watched silently, and even Gu Baihua didn't stop him—the losses of the Perak camp were there: about seventy or eighty people died motionless on the ground, fifty or sixty were seriously injured, and almost everyone else was colored. In this battle, Zhang Ding, who has always been stingy and cautious, really fought hard this time, and Zhang Guerrilla needed to vent.

slashed five or six people in a row, Zhang Ding no longer had the strength, the knife was embedded in the neck bone of a guy, and he pulled it out after a few strokes, and he almost fell down under his feet, and he only stood firm with the knife.

Zhang Ding looked around the battlefield again.

The North Mountain in the distance is full of officers and soldiers who have lost their armor and abandoned their armor and climbed the backs of their hands and feet, and the auxiliaries brought by the commander are chasing behind, with ropes on their shoulders and knives in their hands - well, if you win the battle, this is it, and the unarmored auxiliaries who have seen the soldiers on weekdays are respectful and respectful at this time, and they are a hundred times more courageous, and the real armor is like frightened rabbits. You don't need to ask to know that most of those guys can't escape: how can they outrun the unarmored and light auxiliaries after fighting for a long time and wearing a body of iron? Don't dare to really resist, it's a matter of time before you get caught!

The boats in the river to the south had dispersed, and the spearmen stood at the bow and tail of the boats, calmly tying up the dogs who had jumped into the river in a panic, while the archers were calmly aiming at the men who were struggling in the water, and with each arrow they threw off their already numb arms, and talked and laughed with each other, ignoring the cries of the river begging for mercy.

The officers and soldiers who were trapped on the battlefield and couldn't run away all lay on the ground and shouted: "I've surrendered!" It's down, the king spares his life......"

"Ahh

You don't need to look at Zhang Ding to know that this is infected by yourself, and the brothers who have just been threatened and intimidated by those guys are taking revenge. They took the water hyacinth handed by the friendly soldiers, drank it heavily, and after recovering a little strength, they left the team to find trouble with the surrendering troops—arrows, fire pots, asphalt, dung, iron juice, lime, knives and guns, masonry, and ...... After carrying all kinds of fancy hangings for most of the day, it's time to beat it back! In this day and age, there was no mercy, and at best, the enemy's captives, if they seemed to have some strength, might be put into auxiliary barracks and used as talking cattle to their deaths; For others, life is like a mustard.

While some people believe that "killing prisoners is ominous", there are also a considerable number of generals who consciously or unconsciously condone the massacre - they hope to bring out a bloodthirsty army in order to gain more wealth and more voice for themselves.

Suddenly, a few wisps of green smoke came out of the gate.

"It's not good, the dog officers and soldiers are burning military funds!" Guan Shengyun shouted loudly and ordered: "Break the Xiao Camp, enter the city and destroy the enemy!" Zhang Ding Gong Derun, lead the crowd to fight the fire! After speaking, he took the lead in leading the guard battalion to gallop into the gate surrounded by the guards of the gate and the wildfire. Gong Zhanger, who didn't dare to slack off, quickly rushed into the gate with those subordinates who barely had some physical strength.

It's another false alarm.

The fire was not caused by the arsenal and the grain depot, but only by the fact that several grass huts that were temporarily used as ambulance stations were set on fire.

Hangu Pass is only a pass, not a city, the arsenal, the grain depot and the soldiers' dormitories are all in the fortress under the wall, and the temporary reinforcement camp tents are spread along the wall, and there are only a few lonely grass huts next to the road, which are used by the Langzhong to make medicine and decoction. It doesn't matter if the fire starts, it's a big deal to burn it down and pull it down, the fire has nowhere to spread, and it can't stop the pursuers or destroy the supplies.

Guan Shengyun looked at it suspiciously, and he didn't understand why the defenders who had escaped had started these harmless fires for people and animals: Could it be that there was an internal response in the dog officer army, and the purpose of lighting the fire and setting off the smoke was to inform himself to dispel his doubts and come in quickly?

In any case, combined with the sound of the drums just now, and looking at the level of burning in front of them, it is obvious that the officers and soldiers have not left for a long time. Although the battle objectives had been achieved so far, Guan Shengyun decided to expand the results of the battle again.

"Break the Sky Battalion, follow up the pursuit! Tell the horse team to quickly follow! The Gangfeng battalion is in the center to respond, and the Zhenyong and Thunderbolt battalions search for the remnants of the enemy to clean up the battlefield! ”

Qi Xiaoguang and the others left Hangu Pass and galloped towards Luoyang, followed by all the defenders Ding Zhuang, and Guan Peizhong personally pressed the rear of the palace.

Sun Fugui didn't go far before he was caught up by the golden drum team with a blue nose and swollen face.

According to military law, the punishment for losing the Golden Drum Banner on the battlefield is "beheading the whole team". However, he didn't say anything about what to do with military law when he was robbed by his friendly generals - obviously the adults who formulated military law didn't expect that there would be Adjutant General Kou who could play so well. The team officer was cheated twice by Deputy General Kou in less than two hours, and in order to save his life, he ran over to the commander with a face full of grievances and cried. The dried blood stains were mixed with snot and tears and then wiped by the sleeves, and everyone in the Golden Drum Team became a big face, but unfortunately the gongs and drums were robbed, otherwise it would look like a troupe from a distance.

Sun Fugui, who really had nothing to say, waved his hand and sent them away, and then he heard the drum beating.

Everyone looked at each other, and no one could guess what the hell Kou Zhizhang was doing, so they stepped up their pace all the way and quickly walked towards Luoyang.

After only about two moments, the soldiers who happened to look back noticed the black smoke coming from the pass. Fear spread, the queue was chaotic, and many people were desperately squeezing forward. Fortunately, the palace guards have always been led by Sun Fugui Guan Pei, and the military discipline is very good. The flag-bearers brandished leather whips and sticks, and with great effort, they barely suppressed the riots.

Hearing the riot in the rear team, Qi Xiaoguang, Sun Fugui and others also looked back. Qi Xiaoguang asked Sun Fugui: "General Sun, how long do you think Kou Zhizhang (note, here Qi Xiaoguang did not use Kou Zhizhang's expression "diligent thinking", obviously his tone is very contemptuous)?" ”

Sun Fugui replied: "Lord Kou, this is not easy to say. If everyone fights hard and uses it properly, there will be no problem with a few hours. ”

Qi Xiaoguang said curiously: "An hour? Just a dozen or less than twenty people? ”

Sun Fugui said: "Yes, my lord." If the last general leads the army, he may be able to hold on for a longer time, and the key is to block the door and fight. After all, the door hole is not very wide, pull some rejection cards in front of the knife cart to block, no matter how many thieves outside the door can not squeeze in, they are hugged from behind, and they have to dodge the spears that pierce them, and the front row is even more powerless. The defender's spear frame can save a lot of effort on the rejection horse, and it is more safe to arrange for three or four archers to stand up and make up for the leak - the distance of three or five feet is almost shot against the front door, one arrow is accurate, and besides, who is not afraid of being pointed at sharp arrows head-on? If you feel tired, you will be replaced, and you can't wait for someone to completely lose your strength, so the rotation can last for a long time. It is difficult for a thief in armor to turn over the horse, and the one in front of him will knock over the other. Only when the corpses are piled up can they step on it and crawl over. Moreover, the rejection of the horse can pull a few more ways and resist step by step. If the thief climbs the wall from the ladder, he is not afraid, there are only two roads down the wall, and some firewood is piled up, and no one can get over until it is burned out, so he only sends two people to throw firewood into it without stopping, and he can think as long as he wants. ”

Qi Xiaoguang was surprised when he heard this, and pointed to the black smoke on the closed door and asked, "Didn't Kou Qinsi light a fire on the horse road?" ”

Sun Fugui looked in the direction of Guancheng for a while, shook his head and said, "No." The fire is too small to stop people. If it had been what the Admiral had just said, the fire would have been much bigger by now. The last general doesn't know what the hell this guy is up to. ”

The two were talking in front, and when they walked at the end of the line, Guan Pei, who had just suppressed the riot, heard a sudden sound of horses' hooves, and many voices were shouting: "Dodge, dodge!" ”。 As soon as they saw the comers, the group had galloped close and rushed straight into the ranks, causing a commotion.

Not long after, Qi Xiaoguang heard the movement behind him again, there was a noise and complaints, and when he looked back, more than a dozen knights were struggling to squeeze through the team, the first one was a Tsing Yi and a small hat, who else could it be if it wasn't Vice General Kou?

Qi Xiaoguang, whose face was as dead as ashes in an instant, sighed heavily, turned around and continued to move forward. Not long after, Kou Zhizhang and others caught up and followed behind Qi Xiaoguang. I only heard Kou Zhizhang say triumphantly: "Lord Fuzun, the last general just beat the drum to demonstrate, this is a suspicious plan." At this moment, the thieves thought that they were heartbroken, and our army was naturally more courageous. The last general is worried about the safety of adults, so he rushed to protect him! ”

Qi Xiaoguang just "snorted", and was about to open his mouth to humiliate Vice General Kou for changing into civilian clothes so quickly, only to hear Sun Fugui, who was taken aback, shouting: "You beat the drum, and no one was sent out?" ”

Kou Zhizhang said calmly: "Send someone? Where else is there who? Aren't everyone retreating to Luofu? ”

Sun Fugui pointed in the direction of Hangu Pass and exclaimed again: "You set the fire?" ”

Kou Zhizhang smiled: "Of course! When we retreated, we lit the grass hut next to the road, so that we could stop the thieves for a while, right? ”

Sun Fugui shouted: "Monkey, you protect a few adults and quickly retreat to Luofu." The others followed me to stay and resist the enemy! ”

Qi Xiaoguang hurriedly asked, "General Sun, what are you doing?" ”

Sun Fugui hurriedly said: "My lord, this is a drum!" The hard-fought officers and soldiers thought that there were reinforcements, and their subordinates would rest for a while, and when the reinforcements came up, the thieves would definitely speed up the attack, and they would deal with our army outside the pass before the reinforcements arrived! That fire is even more of a talisman! The thieves would have doubted whether our army would have laid an ambush in the pass, and they would hesitate for a while before entering the pass, and they would send scouts to search in detail before they pursued...... That's good! It's too late to explain, you guys go! After speaking, Le Ma turned around and shouted, "Pass my order, the palace guards occupy both sides of the official road to prepare for battle, and the rest of the people run quickly!" ”

The team that was originally winding on the official road had been trampled by Kou Zhizhang from end to end, and Sun Fugui's personal guards had to ride their horses along both sides of the official road and work hard to choose the place where they could get off the hooves to shout and pass orders, and some were stuck in the flow of people, so they simply got off their horses, climbed to the high mountain wall and ran backwards. Now it was even more chaotic, people were crowding, pushing, and shouting in a chaotic manner, and the narrow official road was soon almost stuck, and the water could not be leaked.

Kou Zhizhang's face turned pale, and he muttered, "The last general will go to explore the way for the adults." After saying that, he whipped his horse and whipped up, and left with more than a dozen personal guards.

Sun Monkey glanced at the backs of Kou Zhizhang and the others hatefully, and spat heavily on the ground: "Jiri raised!" My lord, let's go. ”

Before the words fell, a great chaos broke out in the ranks - the flow of people who were walking in an orderly manner first saw a group of cavalry rushing over from behind, and then Sun Fugui's own soldiers shouted and ordered to stop and prepare for battle to meet the enemy...... Among the thousands of people, there are not only the royal guards, but also the Luoyang guards, as well as the Ding Zhuang people from the two places, and the people who do not belong to each other are mixed together, no one knows what happened, but everyone knows one thing: not only Hangu Pass is lost, but the thieves are chasing after them! The officers and soldiers were speculating, fearful, and talking quietly, and the rumors became more and more exaggerated, until at last, one of the guys shouted, and the shouts of "enemy attack", "thieves have caught up", and "run for your life" came and went, and people pushed each other, trampled, and cried, and the team was completely out of control.
