Chu and Han contend for the throne

Chapter 132 Blocking Wu Pass
Jing Qian suddenly turned his head and saw a young general of the Han army striding towards him.

The young general of the Han army looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, and he was white and tender, but he felt extremely dangerous, especially the pair of short halberds he held in his hands, which were black and shiny, probably Made of pure iron, at least it weighs hundreds of catties. How can someone who can wield such a heavy weapon be easy to deal with?
However, how could Jing Qian be frightened?Immediately, he raised his sword to meet the young general of the Han army.

"Death!" Jing Qian yelled violently, and raised the horizontal knife in his hand at an angle, directly grabbing the abdomen of the young general of the Han army.

If this knife is real, it will immediately give the young general of the Han army a big blow, but it is a pity that the young general of the Han army just turned his left hand halberd horizontally and blocked Jing Qian's horizontal knife. The right halberd had already slashed across Jing Qian's neck with a sharp sound of piercing through the air.

Jing Qian's pupils shrank sharply again.

The moment the swords and halberds intersected just now, Jing Qian had already discovered that the physical strength of the young general of the Han army on the opposite side was far superior to his own, so if he fought hard, he would definitely not be an opponent!But now, Jing Qian's horizontal knife has been swung away, and the empty door in front of him is wide open. It is absolutely too late to block the right hand halberd of the young general of the Han army!
I am afraid that retreating is a dead end.

Jing Qian knew better, if he didn't make a dangerous move, he might have to confess here today.

At that moment, Jing Qian was vicious towards the gallbladder, and thought of risking his life, "Roar!" Jing Qian suddenly yelled, and instead of retreating, he slammed into the young general of the Han army.

This was obviously beyond the expectation of the young general of the Han army.

Before the young general of the Han army could react, their foreheads collided fiercely!

Jing Qian heard the sound of "urn" in his ears, and then the golden stars flashed in front of his eyes, and his whole thinking stopped in an instant. However, the young general of the Han army on the opposite side was not much better, Jing Qian This hit was so hard that the forehead of the young general of the Han army was smashed open, and blood was pouring out in an instant.

After a moment of loss of consciousness, the two came back to their senses almost at the same time, and driven by instinct, they stabbed forward with the horizontal knife and the double halberd. In just a moment, the thighs, arms, and waist of the young general of the Han army were broken. He was stabbed six times on the top, and Jing Qian was even worse. He was stabbed sixteen times in the abdomen, and the whole body was stabbed into a blood sieve!

When Pang Yu heard the news and rushed to the top of the city, Jing Qian had already fallen into a pool of blood.

Not far away, the young general of the Han army went berserk, wielding a pair of iron halberds and killed anyone he saw. No matter if it was the Chu army or the Chinese Han army, as long as he was within two steps of him, he would rage without hesitation. Hurt!Also, in this moment of effort, there are already more than 200 sharp soldiers of the Han army who are at the critical moment, and there are less than ten soldiers of the Chu army guarding the pass.

"General Jing Qian! General Jing Qian?!" Pang Yu's eyes turned red in an instant, and he rushed towards the young general of the Han army with his sword drawn.

Although the two of them haven't been together for a long time, they have already fought each other to death on the battlefield many times. After the surprise attack on Hulao Pass last time, the two became close friends, and the ancients of that era valued friendship the most, so when Seeing Jing Qian lying in a pool of blood, Pang Yu's eyes turned red, and he immediately drew his sword and stepped forward, intending to kill the young general of the Han army to avenge Jing Qian.

Jing Qian suffered huge injuries but was still alive. After hearing Pang Yu's roar, he struggled and turned over miraculously. Then he reached out and grabbed Pang Yu's battle robe, smiling and bleeding profusely, and said: " Pang Yu, okay, good brother, let’s go, let’s go, let’s go with the brothers, don’t forget to set it, set it on fire…”

Pang Yu stared angrily, and said angrily, "General Jingqian, let go!"

"Pang Yu!" Jing Qian raised his last strength and shouted suddenly, "Remember to send a message to the general, just say that I Jing Qian can die on the battlefield, it is worth it! In the next life, I, Jing Qian, will still be his relative. Bing..." Before he finished speaking, his last breath escaped from Jing Qian's throat, and he died.

"Jing Qian? Old Jing!" Pang Yu bowed down tragically.

But soon, Pang Yu got up suddenly again, and in an instant, Pang Yu completely recovered his composure, and then he raised his horizontal knife and shouted sharply: "Let's go, let's go..."

With an order, the last remaining 200 veterans of the Chu army followed Pang Yu and swarmed down the wall of the Dongguan Pass, and then followed the long street to the downstairs of the Xiguan Pass. When Pang Yu and the two hundred veterans looked back, they saw the The Han army at the pass had been divided into two groups, one group was chasing down along the street, and the other group was dismantling the city bricks in the corridor of the city gate, preparing to receive the army to enter the pass.

Pang Yu grinned, turned around and snatched the torch from an old soldier behind him, and threw it into the air viciously.

Almost at the same time, dozens of veterans with torches also threw their torches to the roofs of nearby barracks, workshops, and warehouses. The roofs of these buildings were already covered with wormwood. It was also doused with fire oil, and as soon as the torch was dropped, it immediately ignited.

In less than a moment, a huge fire erupted near Xiguan.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, the Han army who was chasing and killing along the street quickly retreated.

Pang Yu raised his head leisurely, took one last look at the East Gate wall, then turned around and shouted, "Let's go!"

When Liu Bang, surrounded by Chen Ping, Zhou Bo, Li Shang, and Xia Houying, came down to the outside of the East Pass, the entire Hulao Pass was completely engulfed in flames. The black smoke and dust soared straight up from the pass, almost covering half of the sky, which shows how big the fire is.

All the Han troops who robbed the pass had retreated, and the fire in the pass was too great to stay any longer.

Zhou Guanfu, who was soaked in blood, was carried down from the ladder by his trilogy. Zhou Bo cried out sadly when he saw this, and rushed to Zhou Guanfu's stretcher, and then took Zhou Guanfu's hand, crying repeatedly: "My son? My son !"

Zhou Guanfu waved his hand weakly, and smiled at Zhou Bo, saying, "Father, the child is fine."

Liu Bang sighed, although Zhou Guanfu succeeded in grabbing the pass, it seems to be no different from not succeeding now, but the promise he made still has to be fulfilled, and he stepped forward and said: "Guanfu, Yongguanwanfu, today I made another attack. Hulao Pass, I will give you the title of 'Victory' today, after you return to Guanzhong, you will make up the crowning ceremony!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhou Bo was so grateful that he quickly cupped his hands and bowed.

It is a great honor for the Zhou family to have the words given by the King of Han.

Liu Bang waved again, Zhou Guanfu was carried down, and Zhou Bo followed.

After a while, Chen Ping came to Liu Bang again, bowed his head and said: "My lord, I have already asked the soldiers who robbed the pass. They said that when they robbed the pass, there were only a few hundred rebels left in the pass. The houses in the pass have already been covered with wormwood and dry firewood, and heavy kerosene has been poured on them. Obviously, the rebels set the fires in advance."

Xia Houying said: "This is going to be tricky. The fire is too strong. I'm afraid it won't be extinguished in three or two days."

What Chen Ping was worried about was not this. He suspected that Xiang Zhuang might have broken through the Hangu Pass, so he ordered the rebels at Hulao Pass to evacuate, and the rebels burned Hulao before they left!
Liu Bang obviously also thought of this possibility, and immediately asked: "Chen Ping, do you think Hangu Pass has fallen?"

Chen Ping lowered his head and said softly: "This, I dare not speak nonsense."

"Just say it." Liu Bang frowned displeasedly, "I can't even bear this small setback." To be honest, Liu Bang was indeed mentally prepared for the fact that Guanzhong was about to fall. , although Hangu Pass is guarded by Gu Feng, and there are quite five thousand soldiers and horses, Gu Feng is facing Xiang Zhuang and Wei Liao!
Chen Ping sighed, and said truthfully: "Your Majesty, Hangu Pass is probably already lost."

Although Liu Bang was already mentally prepared, after getting the confirmation from Chen Ping, he still couldn't help the blackness in front of his eyes, and his body shook slightly twice.

Xia Houying hurried forward and supported Liu Bang.

Li Shang also persuaded: "But your majesty don't have to worry too much. Calculating the time, your majesty's messenger should have arrived in Xianyang long ago, and even if the messenger made a mistake in the middle, and the Chu army attacked Hangu Pass so big, Prime Minister Xiao would not be too worried." I must have heard the news in advance, I am afraid that I have already escorted the queen, the prince, and the princes and princesses to Hanzhong, right?"

Chen Ping did not speak, he knew that what the king of Han was worried about was not the life and death of the queen, prince, princes, and princesses. After the army enters Guanzhong, it will destroy the foundation of Guanzhong he built so hard!

But it's useless to worry now, let's think about how to block the remnants of the Chu army in Xiangzhuang in Guanzhong.

Even if the remnants of the Chu army in Xiangzhuang cannot be besieged in Guanzhong, we must try to force them into the sphere of influence of Xirong or Beidi, and let them fight with the Qiang or Huns. Even if he was killed by the Chu army, he could still be freed from the harassment of the Hu people, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Chen Ping obviously guessed what Liu Bang was thinking.

Liu Bang sighed lightly, and said leisurely: "I don't know where Lu Ze's army is now? And Guanying's cavalry, have they blocked the flying fox?"

On the right bank of Danshui, Lu Ze's [-] troops are marching towards Wuguan along the mountain path.

The southeast road built by the Great Qin Empire almost runs through the six countries in the Kanto region, but the only way from Guanzhong to the Kanto region is through Hangu Pass, Sanchuan County, and then out of Hulao. This has military considerations, because from Guanzhong to If there are two or more Chidao in Kanto, it will not be conducive to the defense of Guanzhong.

Without a fast road, the march of Lu Ze's army would be extremely difficult.

The marching speed is far from being comparable to that of the Chu army marching along the Chi Road.

Therefore, when it took the Chu army three days to rush from Luoyang to Hangu Pass, another three days to capture Hangu Pass, and another three days to march from Hangu Pass to the city of Xianyang, Lu Ze's army had just arrived at Wushu Pass. close!However, no matter what, the southeast passage of Wuguan was always blocked by Lu Ze's army.
