I rode and slashed unparalleled in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 652 Breaking in
"what?!"

"Lord Su, are you going to go alone?!"

Li Yi, Zhang Long and others were shocked.

This was a completely unexpected development.

After all, the Xiliang Army originated as a field army, and their usual opponents were Qiang cavalrymen who were unarmored or at most lightly armored. The Xiliang Army had no habit of wearing armor from top to bottom, so having a breastplate was considered good enough.

Therefore, before setting off, they never thought that there would be such elite soldiers in Hangu Pass.

But obviously, this is something they overlooked.

For Dong Zhuo, who had conquered the Northern Army and the Western Garden Army, the arsenal of the Han royal family naturally fell into his hands.

This time, in order to guard Hangu Pass, the three thousand men he left for Dong Huang included a total of three hundred sets of full body armor.

Out of caution, Dong Huang directly deployed 200 people on the top of the city wall to prevent Su Yao and others from climbing up the city.

At this time, when General Gu saw Su Yao and others coming aggressively, although he expressed contempt in words, he was actually very cautious in his actions and directly sent out the two hundred soldiers.

With a powerful enemy at hand, the gate of Hangu Pass must not be lost!

With these two hundred fully armed soldiers, plus the various guards under the city, it is absolutely a sure thing to win against less than a hundred traitors wearing short weapons and light armor!

However, Gu Junhou did not expect that the scene before him would easily shatter his imagination.

The young general in the lead, facing his army that was ready for battle, actually took out two golden hammers, jumped into the crowd, and swung them at everyone he saw.

"Oh!"

With a loud bang, accompanied by the exclamations and screams of the soldiers, Su Yao's golden hammer hit the breastplate of a soldier.

The heavy armor seemed like paper in front of Su Yao's terrifying power. It was dented in an instant. The soldier was also knocked away by the huge force and fell heavily to the ground, his life or death unknown.

This scene shocked all the guards present.

They had never seen such terrifying power. Even the soldiers wearing heavy armor were as fragile as ants in front of Su Yao.

"Okay, so strong!"

"careful!"

"Go together!"

The guards were shocked by Su Yao's terrifying power, but they quickly came to their senses and rushed towards Su Yao shouting.

They knew that facing such an enemy, they would have no chance of winning by fighting alone, and only by relying on the advantage in numbers could they subdue it.

However, Su Yao seemed not to notice the guards rushing over. He waved the golden hammer and rushed left and right in the crowd. Wherever he passed, the guards fell down one after another.

His movements were swift and powerful, and each swing of the hammer was accompanied by a loud bang and a scream, as if he was an invincible god of war.

"Anyone who stands in my way will die!"

Su Yao roared, his voice full of majesty and dominance.

The guards were intimidated by his momentum and retreated one after another, not daring to move forward easily.

However, at this moment, a soldier suddenly rushed out, holding a spear and stabbed Su Yao in the chest.

Su Yao was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He dodged the attack by turning sideways, then struck the soldier to the ground with a backhanded hammer.

The other soldiers wanted to help, but were knocked down by Su Yao's hammer.

In a short while, more than ten soldiers fell beside Su Yao.

Those people's helmets were either smashed to pieces or their breastplates were dented. This posture directly frightened the gatekeepers, and they shouted in fear:
"Monster, this guy is a monster!"

"It's that demon Su Yao, he must have come in person!"

"What? That demon actually came in person?!"

When the defenders heard this, their faces changed drastically and their eyes were filled with fear.

They had already known Su Yao's name, and the rumors in the city in recent days had made him sound extremely terrifying. His unparalleled bravery and dazzling battle record had frightened countless soldiers.

Now, hearing that the champion marquis was personally leading his army to attack the city, the defenders' fear reached its peak as they watched him appear invincible.

For a moment, the guards, frightened by fear, stopped their steps and movements, and even retreated step by step.
"Charge, follow me!"

Seeing the enemy retreating due to intimidation, Su Yao did not want to fight anymore and immediately led everyone to rush to the stairs at the city gate.

They all knew that simply capturing the city gate was not enough.

The gate of Hangu Pass cannot be opened by simply removing the bolt and pulling hard. It also has a gate that is locked from top to bottom.

In order to open the gate, you must go to the winch in the mechanism room of the city gate tower.

Gu Junhou, who had seen through Su Yao's plan, turned pale with shock and shouted in panic:
"Quick, close the door!"

"Don't let them in!"

The gate, this is naturally not the main gate of Hangu Pass, but the iron gate at the stairs, which is the passage connecting the city wall and the city gate. The soldiers just came down from this gate.

At the same time, this is also the last line of defense for the defenders on the city wall after the enemy breaks through the gate.

As long as this iron gate is locked, the enemies in the city gate can only engage in hand-to-hand combat with the soldiers inside the city and cannot rush up the city wall to interfere with the defenders on the top of the city.

The guards guarding the passage immediately came to their senses upon hearing the order.

They didn't have the courage to confront Su Yao and others head-on, but they were happy to close the door and keep the thieves out.

These people hurriedly pushed the door, wanting to close the door to the passage before Su Yao and others arrived.

However, how could Su Yao let them succeed so easily?
Seeing that the guards were about to close the gate of the passage, Su Yao shouted and rushed towards the gate that was about to close like an arrow.

"Don't think about it!"

Su Yao was extremely fast and rushed to the gate in almost the blink of an eye. He leaped up suddenly and held down the door with both hands as it was about to close.

The door was extremely heavy, but in the face of Su Yao's terrifying power, it no longer seemed so unshakable.

"Open it for me!"

Su Yao roared angrily, the muscles in his arms bulged and the veins appeared, as if infinite power was surging in his body.

With a deafening bang, the heavy door was pushed back by Su Yao, leaving a gap large enough for someone to pass through.

"Quick, get in quickly!"

Su Yao turned around and shouted. Seeing this, Li Yi, Zhang Long and others took the opportunity to rush through the gate and followed Su Yao closely.

The guards were horrified when they saw this. They didn't expect Su Yao to have such terrifying strength that he could hold up this heavy door alone.

"Quick, someone come and help!"

The guards shouted and tried to gather more people to close the gate.

However, how could Su Yao give them this opportunity?
With a sudden force, he pushed the gate open completely, then rushed into the passage, kicking and swinging, knocking down a group of enemies and heading straight for the city gate tower.
