Chapter 132 Blocking Wuguan

Jing Qian suddenly looked back and saw a young Han army general approaching him.

The young Han army general looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, and was white and tender, but it gave people the feeling of being extremely dangerous, especially the pair of short halberds he held in his hand, which were black and shiny, mostly made of pure iron, and weighed at least hundreds of pounds. How could a person who could use such heavy weapons easily be with him?

However, how could Jing Qian be scared? He immediately held his sword and greeted the young Han army general.

"Die!" Jing Qian shouted violently, and pulled the knife in his hand upwards, slantingly, and directly grabbed the abdomen of the Han army general.

If this sword is realized, it will immediately give the Han army a big blow. Unfortunately, the Han army general just turned his left hand halberd and blocked Jing Qian's horizontal sword with a slight halberd. The next moment, the Han army general's right hand halberd had already slashed towards Jing Qian's neck with a sharp sound of breaking through the air.

Jing Qian's pupils contracted sharply again.

Just now, when the swords and halberds intersected, Jing Qian had already discovered that the Han army general's leverage was far above him, and if he fought hard, he would definitely not be his opponent! But now, Jing Qian's horizontal sword had been swept open, and the empty door in front of him was wide open. It would be too late to put the sword to block the Han army general's right-hand halberd!

Retreat is probably a dead end.

Jing Qian even understood even more that if he didn't take any risks, he would be afraid that he would have to explain it here today.

At that moment, Jing Qian was brave and thought of using his life to gain life. "Roar!" Jing Qian shouted suddenly, and instead of retreating, he suddenly collided with a young general of the Han army.

This was obviously a bit beyond the expectations of the young general of the Han army.

Before the Han army's young general reacted, the two had already collided with each other!

Jing Qian suddenly heard the sound of a "jar" in his ears, and then the stars in front of him were everywhere, and his whole mind suddenly fell into a stagnation. However, the Han army general on the opposite side was not much better. Jing Qian hit him very fiercely, and the Han army general's forehead was suddenly knocked open, and blood was pouring in an instant.

After a moment of loss of consciousness, the two of them came to their senses almost at the same time. Driven by instinctively, they stabbed forward with their swords and two halberds in their hands. In just a moment, the Han army's young general was stabbed six times on his thighs, arms, waist and ribs. Jing Qian became even more miserable, and his abdomen was speared with sixteen halberds, and the whole of them was stabbed into a blood sieve!

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

Not far away, the young Han army general was crazy and wielded his two iron halberds and killed people whenever he saw them. Whether it was the Chu army or the Han army, as long as he approached him within two steps, he would suddenly hurt people without hesitation! Also, in just a moment, the Han army soldiers who were at the junction had more than 200, and there were less than ten left of the Chu army guarding the junction.

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

Although the two have not been together for a long time, they have been entrusting life and death on the battlefield many times. After the last surprise attack on Hulao Pass, the two became friends. Moreover, the ancients of that era valued the most affection, so when Pang Yu saw Jing Qian fall in a pool of blood, his eyes turned red. He immediately drew his sword and went forward to kill the young Han army general to avenge Jing Qian.

Jing Qian was hit hard but still did not die. After hearing Pang Yu's roar, he struggled and turned over miraculously. Then he reached out and grabbed Pang Yu's battle robe. While laughing, he was bleeding and said, "Pang Yu, okay, good brothers, go, go quickly, take the brothers away, don't forget to set the fire..."

Pang Yu angrily opened his eyes and said angrily: "General Jing Qian, let go!"

"Pang Yu!" Jing Qian raised his last strength and shouted suddenly, "I remember to send a message to the general, saying that I, Jing Qian, can die in the battlefield, it's worth it! In the next life, I, Jing Qian, will be his relative, a soldier..." Before he finished speaking, he gently escaped from Jing Qian's throat in his last breath, and died.

"Jing Qian? Old Jing!" Pang Yu bowed miserably.

But soon, Pang Yu stood up suddenly. In an instant, Pang Yu completely calmed down, then he raised his sword and shouted loudly: "Let's go, let's go..."

With a command, the remaining more than 200 veterans of the Chu army followed Pang Yu and flocked down the Dongguan Pass wall, and then followed the Chang Street to the downstairs of Xiguan Pass. When Pang Yu and the two hundred veterans looked back, they saw that the Han army that was grabbing the pass had been divided into two groups, one group chased down the street, and the other group were demolishing the bricks in the city gate corridor, preparing to respond to the army's entry.

Pang Yu smiled, turned around and snatched the torch from a veteran behind him, and threw it into the air.

Almost at the same time, dozens of veterans wearing torches also threw the torches in their hands towards the roofs of nearby barracks, workshops, and warehouses. The roofs of these buildings were already covered with artemisiae, and even heavy tinder was poured on the artemisiae. Once the torches fell, they immediately burned.

In less than a moment, a huge fire broke out near Xiguan.

The Han army, who was chasing along the street, saw that the situation was wrong, quickly retreated.

Pang Yu Youran looked up, finally glanced at the Dongguanguan Wall, then turned around and shouted: "Let's go!"

#############

When Liu Bang was surrounded by Chen Ping, Zhou Bo, Li Shang and Xiahou Ying and came outside the Dongguan Pass, the entire Hulao Pass was completely covered by a fire. The flames that were being swept through the four-meter-high wall could be seen, and the black smoke and dust rose straight from the inside of the pass, almost covering half of the sky, which showed how big the fire was.

All the Han troops who were robbing the pass have retreated. The fire inside the pass is too big and cannot stay anymore.

Zhou Guanfu, who was covered in blood, was lifted from the ladder by his troops. Seeing this, Zhou Bo suddenly let out a sad cry, rushed to Zhou Guanfu's stretcher, then took Zhou Guanfu's hand and shouted repeatedly: "My son? My son!"

Zhou Guanfu waved his hand weakly, squeezed out a smile at Zhou Bo, and said, "Father, the child is fine."

Liu Bang sighed. Although Zhou Guanfu was able to win the pass, it seemed no different from not winning now. However, the promise he made still needs to be fulfilled. He stepped forward and said, "Guanfu, brave, and today he attacked Hulao Pass again. I will give you the word "Victory" as the symbol. When you return to Guanzhong, you will give the crown ceremony again!"

"Thank you, King." Zhou Bo burst into tears and quickly bowed.

The King of Han personally gave the word "The King of Han" was a great honor for the Zhou family.

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

After a while, Chen Ping came to Liu Bang again and bowed and said, "King, I have asked the soldiers who were rushing to the pass. They said that when they rush to the pass, there were only a few hundred rebels left in the pass, and the houses in the pass were covered with weeds and dry firewood, and there were also heavy tinder oil. Obviously, the rebels had planned to set fire to the fire."

Xiahou Ying said: "It's so difficult now. The fire is too big. I'm afraid it won't be destroyed in just a few days."

Chen Ping was not worried about this. He suspected that Xiang Zhuang might have broken Hangu Pass, so he ordered the rebels of Hulao Pass to evacuate, and the rebels would burn Hulao before evacuation!

Liu Bang obviously thought of this possibility, and asked immediately: "Chen Ping, do you think Hangu Pass has been lost?"

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

"Just just say it." Liu Bang frowned and said unhappy, "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 there were Gu Feng guarding Hangu Pass and there were also 5,000 soldiers, Gu Feng was facing Xiang Zhuang and Wei Liao!

Chen Ping sighed and said truthfully: "King, Hangu Pass is probably lost."

Although Liu Bang was mentally prepared, after obtaining the confirmation from Chen Ping's mouth, he still couldn't help but bursts of blackness in front of him, and his body shook lightly twice.

Xiahou Ying rushed forward and helped Liu Bang to help him.

Li Shang also advised: "But the king doesn't have to worry too much. Calculate the time. The king's messenger should have arrived in Xianyang long ago. Moreover, even if the messenger made a mistake in the middle of the journey, Prime Minister Xiao would definitely get the news in advance when the Chu army attacked Hangu Pass. Is it because he was afraid that he had escorted the queen, prince, and all the princesses to Hanzhong?"

Chen Ping didn't say anything. He knew that what the King of Han was worried about was not the queen, the prince, and the princess. The prince had never had the life and death of the princess, and he would not take the life and death of his family seriously. The only thing the King of Han was that after Xiangzhuang's Chu army entered Guanzhong, he would destroy the foundation of Guanzhong that he had finally established!

But now it’s useless to worry, so I’d better 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 were not allowed to be surrounded by the remnants of the Chu army in Guanzhong, they had to try to force them into the sphere of influence of the Western Rong or Northern Di, so that they could be killed by the Qiang people or the Xiongnu people. In this way, Guanzhong could be killed by the Chu army and avoided from the attacks of the Hu people. It could be said that they killed two birds with one stone.

Chen Ping obviously guessed Liu Bang's thoughts.

Liu Bang sighed lightly and said Lei Ran: "I don't know where Lu Ze's army is now? And Guan Ying's cavalry has already blocked Feihu Xing?"

#############

On the right bank of Danshui, Lu Ze's 40,000 troops were heading towards Wuguan along the mountain path.

The southeast chassis built by the Qin Empire almost ran through the six kingdoms of Guandong, but the only one that leads from Guanzhong to Guandong is through Hangu Pass and Sanchuan County and then from Hulao is considered military, because if there are two or even more chassis from Guanzhong to Guandong, it will be detrimental to Guanzhong.

Without the road, the marching of Lu Ze's army would be extremely difficult.

The marching speed is far from comparable to that of the Chu army marching along the road.
