When Ma Chao saw Xu Chu rushing out, he immediately said angrily: "Catch up, don't let Xu Chu escape!"
Zhang Xiu led a hundred elite cavalry in hot pursuit of Xu Chu. He pursued Xu Chu less than two miles away when he saw Han Hao and Shi Huan arriving with 500 cavalry.
"Han Hao, Shi Huan, save me!" Xu Chu shouted immediately when he saw Han Hao and Shi Huan coming with their troops.
Han Hao and Shi Huan hurriedly reined in their horses, got ready for battle, and shouted to Xu Chu: "General Xu, hurry up, let's resist the pursuers."
Xu Chu's horse galloped wildly and passed by the road that Han Hao, Shi Huan and others had made way for.
When Zhang Xiu saw Xu Chu running away and Han Hao and Shi Huan blocking the way, he shouted loudly and shouted: "Get out of the way!"
Where Han Hao and Shi Huan were willing to give way, the second general led his troops to meet the Baiqi led by Zhang Xiu, and a melee broke out.
Zhang Xiu was so eager to do his best that he ignored Han Hao and Shi Huan. At that moment, Bai Niao Chao Feng Qian came out. A spear, a horse, and a person directly opened Han Hao and Shi Huan's two weapons.
He killed those who were blocked, then raised his gun, stabbed to death more than a dozen Wei cavalry, and chased Xu Chu alone.
Zhang Xiu had just charged over here, and Ma Chao was leading a large army to kill them. Han Hao and Shi Huan were unable to resist, so they immediately ordered their troops to withdraw.
Ma Chao and Qian Hu covered the enemy on the road, and 30,000 cavalry rolled away unstoppably, chasing Han Hao and Shi Huan straight to Hulao Pass.
Xu Chu seized Qian Hu's horse. The horse carried the heavyweight Xu Chu. It ran very fast with the wind at its feet and soon reached the gate of Hulao Pass.
The soldiers at Hulao Pass saw Xu Chu coming back being chased by Zhang Xiu, and immediately opened the city gate. After Xu Chu entered Hulao Pass, they closed the city gate again.
Zhang Xiu chased him to Hulao Pass and saw arrows being dropped from the pass. After blocking them with his silver snake gun, he retreated out of the range of the arrows. Looking back, he saw Han Hao and Shi Huan with four hundred
Duo Qi Sha ran over, but Ma Chao was chasing after them. He immediately turned his horse's head and pointed the spearhead at Han Hao and Shi Huan.
After Xu Chu entered the city, he saw Han Hao and Shi Huan through the gap in the city gate being chased by Ma Chao. He immediately shouted to the captain guarding the gate: "Assemble the whole army and fight out with me to rescue Han Hao and Shi Huan."
Two generals!"
With an order, the door of Hulao Pass was opened again. Xu Chu took the lead and rushed out with more than a thousand infantry behind him, facing Ma Chao's army and killed them.
Zhang Xiu was on a killing spree and killed several Wei soldiers in succession. He suddenly heard a movement behind him and turned around to see Xu Chu leading his troops galloping towards him. He hurriedly rushed towards the edge, trying to get together with Ma Chao and Qian Hu.
"Kill them all, leaving no one behind!" Ma Chao saw a trace of joy on his face when he saw Wei Jun coming out to fight. This was exactly the effect he wanted. When he was happy, he shouted loudly.
When the officers and soldiers of the Qin army heard Ma Chao's shouts, everyone seemed to be in high spirits, and every cavalryman rushed directly towards the Wei army's camp like a ferocious wolf.
"Bang!"
There was a loud noise, and the cavalry of the Qin army and the cavalry of the Wei army collided with each other. The cavalry at the front of both sides immediately fell over.
The melee was about to break out. At this time, no individual bravery could be seen. In the torrential rain, only cavalry were seen rushing forward one after another. The water on the ground soon turned red. The horses fell to the ground, and the men fell from their horses. Soon, the tiger was in prison.
A blood swamp formed under the pass.
Ma Chao was fighting bravely to kill the enemy. He approached Xu Chu who was not far away step by step. Wherever the spear touched, everyone fell off their horses and shed blood.
Lightning in the sky pierced the sky from time to time, thunder rumbled and rolled into the ears, and the shouts of death were mixed in the thunder, which was deafening.
"Xu Chu!" Ma Chao roared angrily when he saw Xu Chu hacking several of his subordinates to death in succession.
"Humph!" Xu Chu sneered when he saw Ma Chao not far away from him, with a dozen or so people in between. He looked around and saw that there were fewer and fewer Wei soldiers, while the Qin army's cavalry became more and more courageous as they fought. He knew very well that the Qin army
Seeing the strength of the army, he immediately shouted: "The whole army retreats and returns to the pass."
Han Hao and Shi Huan were trembling with Zhang Xiu for more than ten rounds. Since they could not resist Zhang Xiu, they saw Zhang Xiu fighting more and more fiercely. After hearing Xu Chu's shouts, they also retreated and left behind.
Zhangxiu, go straight to Hulao Pass.
It doesn't matter that the Wei army retreated. It played into the Qin army's ambitions. The Qin army, led by Ma Chao, Zhang Xiu, and Qian Hu, charged unstoppably. As soon as the Wei army retreated, the Qin army immediately attacked them, without giving the Wei army any breathing space.
Opportunity, followed closely behind the retreating Wei army, leaving Wei army with no time to close the city gate.
Ma Chao took the lead and was the first to enter the city gate of Hulao Pass. Behind him, Zhang Xiu, Qian Hu and other cavalrymen rushed to kill him.
"Fire the arrow!" After Xu Chu entered Hulao Pass, he saw Ma Chao following him, and immediately shouted to the archers standing on the tower.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Arrows flew down in the sky one after another, but in this heavy rain weather, the strength of the arrows was greatly affected. As soon as they were shot, they were sunk by the raindrops.
"Charge! Rush in, kill them all, leave no one behind!" Ma Chao waved his bright silver gun and shouted loudly to his subordinates behind him.
Zhang Xiu and Qian Hu immediately led a group of people, leaped onto the city wall, and killed all the archers guarding the city wall.
There was chaos in Hulao Pass. Xu Chu, Han Hao, and Shi Huan fought and retreated. Seeing that they could not withstand the Qin army's offensive, they had no choice but to withdraw from Hulao Pass and ran towards Chenliu.
Ma Chao led his troops to chase for a while, but failed to catch up with Xu Chu and others. Finally, he retreated, cleaned up the mess in Hulao Pass, cut down all the flags with the word "Wei" and replaced them with the Qin army's flags.
Strange to say, as soon as the war ended here, the heavy rain gradually stopped. After a while, the sun squeezed out from the dark clouds again and continued to shine on the earth with its sunshine, while the distant horizon appeared
There was a rainbow.
In the evening, the water on the ground has basically disappeared, but there are piles of corpses inside and outside Hulao Pass. On a mountain outside Hulao Pass, there are hundreds of corpses piled up. The soldiers of the Qin army are holding torches.
Burn them all.
The raging fire began to spread, and a thick cloud of smoke rose over Hulao Pass after the war. Since the battle was carried out in the rain, there were no blood stains on the walls of Hulao Pass, and even the blood swamps on the ground disappeared.
There is no trace, except for the faint smell of blood, it is the freshness after the rain.
At this time, a group of soldiers rolled in from the west, also carrying the banner of the Qin Army. However, compared with the previous uniform cavalry, the equipment and soldiers were slightly weaker.
A middle-aged man in a robe is riding on a war horse, looking intently at everything in front of him. Behind him is a group of soldiers in gorgeous clothes and holding halberds. The soldiers are scattered in a covered vehicle.
On both sides of the large carriage with a canopy, sixteen uniform maroon horses pulled the carriage forward slowly, and on top of the carriage sat a fair-skinned young man wearing a dragon robe and a dragon crown.
"Wang Situ, is the Hulao Pass just ahead?" The fair-skinned young man wearing a dragon robe and a dragon crown opened the curtains and shouted to the middle-aged man on horseback who was walking at the front of the vehicle.
"Yes, Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Qin has conquered Hulao Pass and is currently preparing a palace for His Majesty." Situ Wangyun, with a green beard and a tall build, stopped the advancing horses and replied respectfully.
The young man sitting in the canopied carriage is none other than Liu Bian, the current emperor of Han Dynasty.
Since Liu Bian became emperor, he was first manipulated by He Jin and then threatened by Dong Zhuo. Later, thanks to Ma Chao, Dong Zhuo was killed at Hangu Pass. With the help of Ma Teng and his son, Liu Bian settled in Chang'an, where he was able to work safely as his
After enjoying his life for a few years, the emperor suddenly remembered his old capital and ordered Ma Chao to lead his troops eastward and capture Sili.
Coincidentally, Ma Chao also wanted to take control of the Central Plains. Without saying a word, he immediately agreed and led 30,000 cavalry in front, while letting Wang Yun, Yang Biao, Chen Qun and other ministers lead the infantry behind to escort the grain and grass and protect Liu Bian.
"The King of Qin is brave, I know that he will not live up to my high hopes for him. However, the old capital of Luoyang is dilapidated, and there is no way to stop..."
Wang Yundao said: "Your Majesty, Sili has suffered from continuous wars, and the people have been displaced and have already moved to other states and counties. Now that your Majesty has come to Sili, it will take several years to restore the old capital. What King Qin means is,
I took your majesty to Changyi in Wei State. I heard that the city of Changyi was as big as the old capital..."
"Well, I also want to visit Changyi. I have lived in Chang'an for too long, and this is my first time to go out. If Cao Cao, who has established himself as king, hears that I have gone, I don't know what he will think..."
Wang Yun said: "Your Majesty, don't worry. King Qin means that the emperor's inspection tour and the crusade against Cao Cao will be carried out at the same time. In this way, those who proclaim themselves kings will have no excuse. If they dare to disobey, it will be rebellion. Your Majesty can issue an edict and order all the kings of the world to crusade together."
"
"It's wonderful. The King of Qin really thinks deeply about it. Let's go quickly. I'm going to Hulao Pass to see the King of Qin."
"promise!"
Wang Yun agreed and ordered to continue moving forward. On the one hand, he sent scouts to Hulao Pass to inform Ma Chao. He rode on the horse leisurely and contentedly, thinking to himself: "The Qin army is advancing eastward, and the King of Qin has the emperor in his hands, commanding the world."
Who dares to disobey? The day of making the down payment to the Central Plains is just around the corner.
Wait. What's more, the King of Liang has led a hundred thousand Xiliang cavalry to Guanzhong, and the day to arrive in the Central Plains is not far away. By then, among the kings who have proclaimed themselves kings, whoever dares to disobey the emperor's orders will be rebelling.
, it is really the best policy to kill them..."
Liu Bian was sitting on the carriage with a canopy, full of expectations for the Central Plains. He had been emperor for several years. Every time he heard Ma Chao talk about someone from Guandong who had proclaimed himself king again, he felt very sad. At this time, Liu Bian felt uncomfortable.
, he led the mighty army into the Central Plains, and he would definitely be able to eradicate those who set themselves up as kings, and then restore the unity of the Han Dynasty...
