Since Zhou Wen worshiped the general, he led an army of 100,000 Zhang Chu, mighty, from Yingchuan County to kill, go to Liang County, cross the Luo River, and go straight to Hangu Pass to kill.

Along the way, the county was attacked, recruiting troops, and everywhere he went, Zhou Wen would recruit troops on a large scale, at this time, the army had reached more than 300,000 people, and the momentum was huge, and Sanchuan County was turbulent.

At this time, in the county guard, Li You was anxious, Wu Guangtun had more than 100,000 soldiers in Xingyang, and Li You was so tired that Li You was miserable.

But Zhou Wen's war report directly approaching Hangu Pass came, which made Li You completely desperate, he could not give up Xingyang, and still keep Hangu Pass, in that way, Wu Guang and Zhou Wen would join the division, and the momentum would be even greater, at that time, he lost Sanchuan County and Hangu Pass, and he would be beheaded by the imperial court, and even his father Li Si would be implicated.

Moreover, what Li You can't bear the most is that he asked the court for help five times, each time he was sincere, said all the stakes, and hoped that the court could send reinforcements in time, but these letters for help were like stones sinking into the sea, and there was no news of them, and now the bandit army is fighting on two fronts, and it is impossible for him to divide his troops to defend.

Just when Li You was sad and resentful, the deputy general Pang Delong walked in quickly and said anxiously: "Has the county guard heard about it?" Zhou Wen, the general of Anxi of Zhang Chujun, led 100,000 troops and advanced to Hangu Pass! ”

Li You sighed lightly: "I also just got the news." ”

"But has the general ever heard that Zhou Wen recruited more than 300,000 troops along the way, and such a huge army, Hangu Pass will be lost!" After speaking, Pang Delong was furious and continued: "If Hangu Pass is lost, our back road will ...... It's broken! ”

"Bang!" Li You slammed the table with his right hand, and he couldn't help but get up and said angrily: "Your Majesty the Emperor, your land is being devoured by bandits, your soldiers are fighting bloodily, your people are suffering, and where are your reinforcements?" Don't you want to be a great Qin! ”

Li You shouted, feeling melancholy in his heart, and on the side, Pang Delong offered advice: "If the county guard is defending Xingyang, once Zhou Wen captures Hangu Pass and returns to Xingyang, we will be trapped here, please prepare early!" ”

"Back to the army?" Li You said a few words to himself, and he had already weighed the pros and cons at a very fast speed in his heart, at this time, he couldn't help but sneer: "Zhou Wen's goal, I'm afraid it's Guanzhong, otherwise, he can completely meet Wu Guang, take Xingyang, and then send troops to Hangu Pass, the consequences are the same." ”

Speaking of this, Li You had a feeling that he was not afraid of the chaos when he saw the excitement, and snorted coldly: "Since His Majesty the Emperor no longer wants the land of Kanto, why don't we be a bystander and see who wins and who loses in the battle of Guanzhong?" ”

Pang Delong saw that Li Youtie was determined to garrison Xingyang, so he had to sigh lightly, and it was inconvenient to say more, at this time, a personal guard hurriedly rushed in, knelt on one knee, and said loudly: "General, Zhang Chu's army is attacking the city again!" ”

Li You's heart sank, he looked at Pang Delong on the side, and ordered: "You go to the north gate and the south gate to patrol, and I will go to the east gate immediately." ”

Pang Delong nodded and left, and at this time, Li You picked up the sword on the table and walked quickly to the outside of the house.

On the city tower, the drums are noisy, and there are tens of thousands of Zhang Chu troops waiting under the city, in Xingyang, such a small-scale attack has become a habit, if one day, Zhang Chujun suddenly stops attacking the city, but it will make the Qin army feel surprised and uncomfortable.

At this time, Li You came to the east gate accompanied by more than 100 relatives, he looked down, the enemy army was about 30,000 people, which was no different from the previous small-scale wars, thinking that he had been guarding Xingyang for the past two years, I really don't know, is it worth it or not?

At this time, the low horn suddenly sounded, Zhang Chujun carried the cloud ladder, shouting and running towards Xingyang, Li You drew // out of the long sword, there were already crossbowmen running behind the wall, pulling the bow and arrows, the crossbow arrows were wound, watching Zhang Chujun get closer and closer, Li You shouted: "Shoot!" ”

Ten thousand arrows fired in unison, shooting towards the city, soon, there was a scream of Zhang Chujun's soldiers, but the feather arrows could hurt, after all, only a few, more Zhang Chujun crossed the moat, came to the city, the ladder rumbled on the city tower, Zhang Chujun began to climb up.

The boiling gold juice was poured down, and there was a scream under the city tower, and the rolling wood and thunder stones were also thrown down the city with the efforts of the people of Xingyang, killing Zhang Chujun countless times.

And Zhang Chujun was also desperate to launch a second wave of attack, and another group of soldiers began to climb the ladder, at this time, on the city tower, the rolling wood and thunder stones were about to run out, Li You decisively ordered: "Throw Dading down to me!" ”

After the sound of "boom", the city sounded screams again, and soon, the city of Xingyang was quiet, a hundred chiefs thought that Zhang Chujun had retreated, he poked his head out curiously, wanted to see, but there was a Changge pierced his throat, Changge made a hard effort, picked him off the city tower, after a burst of miserable howls, it was the sound of the human body falling to the ground, and the sound was extremely dull.

At this time, a steady stream of Zhang Chujun jumped onto the head of Xingyang City, and Li You saw that the East Gate was about to fall, so he drew his long sword and shouted: "Kill it!" ”

Tens of thousands of Qin troops brandished their weapons and fought hard with Zhang Chu's army at the head of the city, with heavy casualties on both sides, and blood flowed into a winding river......

The sun was slowly setting, and at the head of Xingyang City, where the smoke of gunpowder was filled, the banners of the Qin army were crooked, and some Qin soldiers were exhausted, lying diagonally behind the wall battlements, and the aisles of the city were full of corpses.

Under the city tower, Zhang Chujun launched many attacks, although they had jumped to the top of the city, but they still did not conquer Xingyang in the end, with a painful defeat, Zhang Chujun quietly retreated.

。。。。。。

The battle of Xingyang was extremely tragic, with countless casualties, but Hangu Pass was also faced with a life-and-death choice, Zhang Chujun's mighty and mighty army was inserted obliquely from Yingchuan County, at this time, the rumbling war drums were already lingering in front of the pass.

But Yang Xiong, the guard of Hangu Pass, is not a weak person, at this time, he is inspecting the battalions in the pass, and he has to close the emergency to report, only to know that Zhang Chujun came to kick the camp, Yang Xiong did not say a word, gathered soldiers and horses, and killed outside the pass as fast as possible.

"Squeak" a few sounds, the gate of Hangu Pass was slowly opened, 30,000 Qin troops marched out in turn, in front of the pass, the mighty formation, in the front, is 3,000 chariot soldiers, 1,000 cavalry guards on both sides of the chariot, behind, is the mighty crossbow soldiers and Ge soldiers, and then there are nearly 10,000 Pu Dao soldiers on both sides, they carry a big shield, guarding the two wings of the Qin army.

It can be said that the battle formation of the Qin army is very tight, at this time, the Qin army in the formation and on the Hangu Pass sounded a roaring drum, the door flag opened, Yang Xiong proudly rode his horse to the front of the formation, he stood up with a spear, looked into the distance, for a moment, Yang Xiong was stunned.

The mighty Zhang Chujun, nearly 300,000 troops, all over the mountains, can not see the end, some of them hold weapons, some hold farm tools, some use bamboo sharpening, as weapons, moreover, Zhang Chujun's banner is all over the mountains, I don't know, I think there is a fire in the mountains, at this time, the flag flutters in the wind, more majestic.

Such a huge formation, Yang Xiong is the first time to see, at this time, he had to bite the bullet, come to the front of the two armies, and fight against Zhang Chujun, but on the other side, Zhou Wen did not send any generals, the stalemate lasted for about half a minute, Zhou Wen sneered and pulled out his sword, waved forward, Zhang Chujun shouted, and rushed towards the Qin army.

300,000 Zhang Chu army, like a flood bursting embankment, all over the mountains and fields, Yang Xiong at this time like a lost dog, turned the horse's head, and ran towards Hangu Pass without looking back, the powerful Qin army formation, the chariot did not move, and the crossbow array behind had begun to return fire, shooting towards Zhang Chujun like raindrops.

The biggest weakness of Zhang Chujun is that there are not enough shield soldiers, they are all holding weapons with their bare hands, and with a courage, they are directly approaching the Qin army's military formation.

The casualties of Zhang Chujun, who rode behind him, were countless, and the serious setback of Zhang Chujun made the Qin army once again mighty, and everyone raised their weapons and shouted "mighty." ”

Yang Xiong, who had just returned to his own formation, also gave up his plan to escape back to Hangu Pass, he waved his spear, pointed forward, and the chariot and cavalry launched in an instant, killing Zhang Chujun, but the powerful crossbow array did not have the slightest intention of stopping, and the Qin army repeated the same action repeatedly, pulling the string, loading the arrow, preparing, and shooting.

But although the lethality of the Qin army's crossbow array is amazing, they only hit one percent of the 300,000 Zhang Chu army, and the rest of the people still keep rushing forward, although people continue to be killed by arrows, but there will be more people who rush over, and moreover, people drive people, people crowd people, and every soldier of Zhang Chujun's army has no way to retreat.

Soon, the vanguard of Zhang Chujun and the chariot soldiers of the Qin army met, the two sides fought very fiercely, the Qin army had a winch on the wheel, there was a spear head, every time he passed, Zhang Chujun was seriously injured and fell to the ground, but Zhang Chujun with high morale and a large number of people, also knocked down many Qin troops.

Soon, Zhang Chujun's spearmen arrived at the battlefield, they brandished spears, stabbed the charioteer, the charioteer was speared and died, some were picked down alive, and Zhang Chujun's soldiers also quickly killed, they together, continued to rush forward, at this time, the distance between the two armies was less than 100 steps, Zhang Chujun was approaching step by step.

The Qin army began to make a commotion, some crossbowmen began to flee from the battle, and the people were panicked, and even Yang Xiong realized that Zhang Chu's army was unstoppable and incapable of the enemy, so he immediately turned his horse's head and shouted: "Retreat!" ”

The Qin army retreated like a tide, Hangu was closed, the Qin army wanted to close the city gate, but the rout army was crowded, many people were together, they couldn't get in, they couldn't get out, just like that, Zhang Chu's army was gradually approaching, in the city, Yang Xiong ordered, cut down the Qin soldiers near the city gate, close the city gate, and many Qin troops stood up and stabbed at the Qin army at the city gate.

The enemy army did not arrive and the civil war started first, many Qin soldiers were killed at the city gate, but a group died, and a new group came in, they were eager to enter the pass, eager to survive, but outside, Zhang Chujun also arrived, they brandished their spears, and killed the Qin army in front of the gate, just like that, the Qin army under the Hangu Pass was attacked from inside and outside, and within half an hour, it was dead and wounded.

But the momentum of Zhang Chu's siege did not decrease, they continued to approach the pass, Yang Xiong ordered the door to close several times, but failed, and Zhang Chu's army was more and more numerous, and soon broke through the Hangu Pass, the angry Zhang Chujun spread around, and the Hangu Pass was finally lost after holding on for nearly a day.

Yang Xiong took more than 1,000 remnants of the army and fled to Anyi.
