Ying Yuan, who was far away in Xianyang City, never expected that he would gain two little fans without doing anything.
Guo Fengxiao and Xi Zhicai.
No one knew when they decided to pledge allegiance to Ying Yuan.
......
at the same time.
The battle of Hangu Pass has begun.
Lu Bu, Zhang He and Pan Feng launched an attack on the city gate at the same time.
They got almost all the siege equipment in the army.
The purpose was to create a situation for the enemy army that the Qin army was going to have a decisive battle with the Chu army.
Inside Hangu Pass.
Some soldiers reported the situation of defending the city to Xiang Chao.
It had only been half an hour and the number of casualties had already exceeded ten thousand.
Today, the Xiang clan still has an army of more than 200,000.
This is their last resort.
No one could have expected that of the 600,000 troops that attacked the Qin Dynasty, only 200,000 were left.
However, they would not consider the fact that the Qin army of 400,000 was completely annihilated.
"General, there are only 50,000 soldiers defending the city. I'm afraid it will be difficult to withstand the enemy's attack."
Some people are very worried about the current situation of defending the city.
Xiang Chao said bluntly: "Are all the soldiers ready?"
The man nodded and said, “According to the general’s order, we have taken away almost everything that can be taken away from the city.
They are just some large weapons that are inconvenient to carry, so we plan to destroy them on the spot."
Xiang Chao took a deep breath, looked at the demeanor of the first level of the Great Qin, and sighed:
"One day sooner or later, this general will come back.
By then, Cao Cao will be torn into pieces!"
"General, I believe in you. Sooner or later, we will fight back."
The man said in a deep voice.
Xiang Chao gave the order: "Order the three armies to withdraw from Hangu Pass immediately. Send someone to tell Zhou Zhang that I will erect a memorial tablet for him in the Xiang family ancestral hall, so that he will be worshipped forever by our descendants!"
"promise!"
“…”
Xiang Chao actually expected the Qin army's actions.
After all, the rapid withdrawal of an army of more than 200,000 from Hangu Pass was a huge move.
The Qin army's spies will definitely find out.
"Let me go! Let me go!"
Not far away, a voice was heard.
Someone tied Li Yuan up and brought him to Xiang Chao.
The former saw the other party and shouted angrily: "Xiang Chao! I have the responsibility of supervising the army. How can you treat me like this!"
The latter sneered, "You haven't cleared your suspicion yet. This general has no choice but to do this. I hope Lord Li will forgive me! Come, take him away!"
At this point, Li Yuan was taken away by two Chu army soldiers.
Then Xiang Liang came riding up on his warhorse and said, "Brother, the army has gradually withdrawn from Hangu Pass, but Zhou Zhang..."
Hearing this, Xiang Chao frowned deeply and said, "He won't let me down."
"My father's body..."
"I've ordered my father to be buried inside the city walls. He said he wants to stay here. We'll take him away the next time we come back!"
Xiang Chao was really helpless.
What is the success rate of escaping with a corpse?
What's more, even if Xiang Yan's body arrived in Chu, I'm afraid it would have rotted and become smelly.
Burying him here is the best choice.
......
On top of Hangu Pass.
Faced with the fierce attack of the Qin army, many parts of the walls of the entire city gate collapsed.
On the Qin army side, some people had already started to climb up the city wall.
When Zhou Zhang, who was in charge of defending the city, heard what Xiang Chao's messenger had said, he personally grasped a large sword and laughed out loud:
"My fellow soldiers, today, I will die with you! By this time next year, the people of Great Chu will sweep our graves and offer incense for us!"
As soon as the words fell.
More and more Chu army soldiers began to cheer up.
They roared hysterically one after another:
"Great Chu will win!"
"Great Chu will win!"
"We, the soldiers of the Great Chu, can only live standing up and never die on our knees!"
"kill!!"
“…”
More and more Chu soldiers followed one after another.
It was to prevent the Qin army from climbing up the city wall.
The shouts of fighting and killing from both sides were deafening.
A Qin soldier was stabbed in the abdomen with a knife by a Chu soldier the moment he climbed onto the city wall.
Blood was flowing.
The Chu army soldier roared, "Get out of here!"
He tried to throw it over the city wall.
However, the Qin soldier did not seem to be afraid of pain.
He gritted his teeth and held tightly onto the long knife that had stabbed into his abdomen. His palms were bleeding, but he remained unafraid.
It seems that I can no longer feel the pain.
His eyes were filled with hatred as he shouted, "If anyone wants to leave, it's you! You...get out of our Qin land!"
Having said this, he suddenly rushed forward, allowing the knife to completely penetrate his chest and abdomen.
Then, he used the sharp sword in his hand to stab the opponent's neck.
The other person's pupils widened.
Blood splattered.
He never expected that the other party would adopt a strategy of mutual destruction.
Gradually, he began to lose his vital signs.
The Qin soldier was also feeling bad at the moment, and was feeling his vitality rapidly draining away.
Slowly lay down on the ground.
Blood kept flowing out of his mouth and chest.
A tear fell from his eyes.
With longing for his hometown, he uttered his last words, "This... this is our... Qin... land."
