Chapter 549: Guo Si rushed to help but accidentally fell into a trap again
"Captain Guo, there's something wrong ahead!"

It is said that shortly after Li Jue's front army was attacked, he abandoned his horse and fled for his life, struggling desperately.

Guo Si also led his troops to attack almost at the same time.

However, just as their infantry formation was advancing in an orderly manner, he saw shouts of killing coming from the city gate in front of him, followed by a panicked scout riding a horse and galloping over, reporting the battle situation ahead:

"Something bad is going to happen!"

"The front troops were suddenly ambushed and suffered heavy losses. Please make preparations early and provide support as soon as possible!"

"What? It's really a false surrender?!"

When Guo Si heard this, his face suddenly changed and he looked at the wide-open city gate with disbelief.

Is there really someone who would pretend to surrender by lowering the city gate?

Where does his confidence come from? Does he think that he can have the advantage in a meat-mincing fight at the city gate just because he has fewer people?

As soon as he thought of this, Guo Si immediately shouted loudly:
"Quick, go report the situation to General Niu. Everyone else, move forward quickly and follow me to help Captain Li seize the city gate!"

At Guo Si's command, the infantrymen under his command immediately quickened their pace. They shouted slogans in unison and advanced towards the Yique Pass gate with firm steps.

Everyone is full of confidence.

They are proud Liangzhou warriors who are not afraid of any enemies in the world.

Although there are some slight changes at the moment, it will not affect the overall situation.

Their lifelong experience in the military told them that there had never been a case where the defending side was able to hold out after its gate had been breached.

So they held up their shields and kept approaching under the sporadic rain of arrows from the top of the city.

They believed that as long as they rushed into the city gate and took over Li Jue's line, Yique Pass would be breached before dawn.

However, this confidence suddenly became less sufficient when they arrived at the gate of Yique Pass.

"Why is there no movement?"

"Where are the people? Where are Lieutenant Li and the others?"

There was a slight commotion among the soldiers in the front row and they stopped.

When Guo Si came, he also broke out in a cold sweat.

Along the way, the shouts and screams coming from the city gate had fallen silent.

I saw the door in front of me was wide open, and I couldn't see anything clearly in the dark passage, as if it was a ferocious beast choosing people to devour.

Only a tiny glimmer of light in the distance vaguely told them that the road was still open, as if sending them a silent invitation.

But no one knows what will be at the end of the road.

In this strange atmosphere, smelling the bloody smell coming from the passage, a soldier finally asked the common fear in their hearts:

"Captain Li and the others are not dead, are they?"

"Bullshit, stop talking nonsense!"

Guo Si shouted loudly, which seemed to dispel the haze in everyone's hearts:

"Captain Li has a thousand cavalry!"

"How is it possible that someone could kill them all in just over a quarter of an hour, and hardly anyone could escape to report the incident?!"

"This is absolutely ridiculous!"

Guo Si took a deep breath, looked up at the towering city wall, then moved his gaze to the dark city gate, and said loudly:
"Captain Li and his men must have broken through and are now fighting the rebels in the city."

"That's why they opened the city gates so that we can enter the city immediately."

"Now, everyone, be alert. Archers continue to suppress the city walls and support General Niu's central army. The rest of you should quickly enter the city to support Lieutenant Li and his men!"

Following his order, the archers of Dong Zhuo's army quickly gathered in front of the city gate and fired thousands of arrows at the top of the city with a huge momentum.

For a moment, arrows rained down, and the Han army on the city wall was forced to hide and could no longer fire effectively.

Seeing that his momentum was regained, Guo Si seized this brief opportunity and immediately shouted:

"Now, infantry charge!"

The Liangzhou infantrymen were encouraged and mustered up their courage again. They raised their shields high and rushed towards the city gate shouting.

Then quickly, as their torches lit up the passage, they were stunned by the scene before them.

Inside the passage of the city wall, a shocking scene came into view.

In the light of the torches, the soldiers who had died tragically were lying on the ground in all directions, some with their heads and bodies separated, some being cut in half by Mo Dao, and their blood dyed the cold stone road red.

The broken limbs and arms were scattered all over the ground, mixed with discarded spears and swords. The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, which was disgusting, as if one was in hell on earth.

This tragic scene chilled the hearts of the Liangzhou infantrymen, and many of them began to hesitate whether to continue advancing. However, military orders were as strong as mountains, and Guo Si's voice sounded in the rear, urging them not to stop:

"Don't be afraid, we are the invincible Liangzhou Army, and a few tricks can't stop us!"

"Everyone, rush forward together and avenge our fallen brothers!"

Under Guo Si's command, one soldier after another roared, they gripped their weapons, marched quickly, accumulating strength and anger, ready to pour it on the hateful traitor at any time.

Then, they were taught a lesson by the well-rested Modao troops.
Frankly speaking, when Guo Si led his troops in and saw the abrupt low wall and the "atrium" area almost full of dead bodies, he already realized something was wrong.

There are too many corpses. Even if Li Jue did not die all of them here, at least half of them would have been killed.

No matter how elite Li Jue's troops were, could they withstand such heavy casualties and not collapse?

Guo Si didn't really believe it.

Li Jue was probably dead, but he still didn't order a retreat.

First, the army is crowded here right now, and it is not easy to retreat.

Second, he also had a sense of luck in his heart.

The number of rebels is there.

Even including the incorporated Yique garrison, there were only more than a thousand people.

Even if Li Jue was caught off guard and ambushed, it would not be a problem for him to kill hundreds of people with his desperate resistance.

He now has three thousand people under his command, and thousands of people have already poured into the gate.

Even if there was an ambush and he had to fight one life for another, or even two lives for one, he would still fight this battle. There was no reason for him to retreat in disgrace.

However, he soon realized that for some people, their power could not be calculated by common sense.

"Be careful of ambush!"

"What's this?!"

"No!"

In front of the last gate, the Modao team led by Lu Bu and Guan Yu were advancing like a wall, invincible.

They rushed towards the Liangzhou warriors with an overwhelming force, the sharp blades of their Mo Dao flashing constantly in the firelight, and every swing was accompanied by countless wails and cries.

Although the Liangzhou infantry were brave, their advantages could not be fully utilized in the narrow passage. Faced with the fierce attack of the Modao team, they could only fight desperately and retreat step by step.

"Did Li Jue lose to these people?"

Guo Si was terrified.

I finally understood why Li Jue and his men were defeated.

But at the same time, he was slightly relieved.

Compared with the fear of the unknown, the difficulties before him did not make him completely despair:
"Stabilize the front!"

"Gather in an open area, with the shieldmen forward and the spearmen behind, to withstand their attacks!"

Guo Si urgently adjusted his tactics, he knew he still had a chance.

Compared with Li Jue's light cavalry who neglected protection in order to pursue speed, his belated infantry had good protection.

It is for this reason that, although the Mo Dao was powerful, it did not crush them directly like it did against Li Jue.

As long as he could stabilize his position in time and form a defensive formation, Guo Si believed that he had a good chance of winning.

Unexpectedly, suddenly, there were shouts of killing on both sides:
"kill!"

"Kill the thief Dong!"

"Kill with me!"

It turned out that on both sides of the "atrium" where Guo Si attempted to form a battle array, when his Xiliang army was retreating step by step, the secret door suddenly opened, and Zhao Yun and Dian Wei each led a team of swordsmen and axemen to rush out and attack the flank of his troops!
"Oops!"

"Retreat quickly, retreat quickly!"

Guo Si finally panicked. He quickly ordered a retreat and turned around to leave.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a darkness in front of his eyes.

I saw a red film falling like a waterfall over the city gate.

The moment they landed, several soldiers were knocked back:

"Su Yao is here, you bastards, prepare to die!"
