Chapter 233: Cutting down Xiang Yu like a vegetable
"The three captains have already led their troops to the tower to resist. General Chunyu Qiong is drunk and still hasn't woken up!"
"This damn drunkard." When Zhao Rong heard this, he immediately gritted his teeth and said, "If something happens in Hulao Pass, let's see how he explains it to His Majesty!"
In the Battle of Guandu in history, Chunyu Qiong was drunk, so he asked Cao Cao to burn the granaries of Yuan's army in Guandu. In the end, all 700,000 Yuan's troops were annihilated.
But now that Hulao Pass is in danger, Chunyu Qiong is also drunk. It can be seen that a person's status is easy to change, but his nature is hard to change!
"This captain will rush to the tower immediately. Go quickly and send orders to all the battalions to get ready. Don't get into chaos. Wait for news at any time."
"promise!"
In history, Zhao Rong, Bao Long, Feng Fang, Xia Mou and Chunyu Qiong were all ranked alongside Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and Jian Shuo, and reached the rank of Eighth School Lieutenant of Xiyuan.
Among these five people, except for Chun Yuqiong who often gets drunk and gets into trouble, the rest of them have pretty good abilities, which shows that Liu Hong still has some sense of people.
However, the critical situation at Hulao Pass is now completely beyond their capabilities.
First of all, after Lu Zhi was imprisoned, the morale of the Hulao Pass defenders had plummeted. Secondly, the Yellow Turban Army attacked at night and caught the defenders by surprise.
Nowadays, the morale of the Hulao Pass defenders is in chaos. Even if the number of defenders is much higher than that of the night attack, they still cannot expel the Yellow Turban Army from the city.
The Yellow Turbans at the top of the city could not be driven away, and more and more people descended on the city. Under Zhu Wen's leadership, most of the Hulao Pass city top had been occupied by the Yellow Turban army bit by bit.
After Bao Long struggled to kill a golden warrior, he immediately retreated and gasped: "Damn it, why are these Yellow Turbans so powerful? They are much stronger than the ones we encountered before!"
Zhao Rong wiped off the blood on his face and said solemnly: "The attacker must be an elite member of the Yellow Turban Army, otherwise it would not be so difficult to deal with."
"Then what should we do? If this continues, Hulao Pass will really be lost!" Feng Fang said anxiously.
"At this point, we can only ignore the casualties. Hulao Pass must not be lost no matter what!" Xia Mou said firmly.
The three of them looked at each other and sighed helplessly: "That's all we can do!"
Following the unanimous orders of the four men, all the Han troops in Hulao Pass swarmed towards the city tower, hoping to use their numerical advantage to kill the Yellow Turban Army on the city tower.
However, Bao Long and others had such a good idea, but they ignored the gap in combat power between the Yellow Turban warriors and the Hulao Pass defenders.
Most of the 70,000 elite Han troops who initially followed Lu Zhi to the battlefield in the Central Plains were dead or wounded. Most of the 70,000 defenders at Hulao Pass were newly recruited soldiers.
In addition to the 70,000 defenders of Hulao Pass, there are also 30,000 Yanzhou family coalition forces. However, Cao Cao cannot guarantee that these 30,000 coalition forces will listen to him, so they will not participate in the defense of Hulao Pass at all.
Most of the 70,000 defenders were new soldiers. How could they withstand the yellow turban warriors carefully selected from an army of one million?
Relying on their numerical superiority, the Han army caused certain casualties to the Yellow Turbans. However, under the impact of their fierce attacks, they retreated steadily and were eventually expelled from the city.
"Keep the city gate firmly, and we must not let the rebellion open the city gate!" Bao Long shouted hysterically.
The Han army gathered at the gate of Hulao Pass. The Han army united as one and wanted to organize the Yellow Turban warriors to open the city gate. However, under the leadership of Zhu Wen, the Yellow Turban warriors moved forward in an indomitable manner and the Han army could not resist it.
"Death to Zhu Wen!"
Bao Long took the initiative to face Zhu Wen with a knife, but Zhu Wen was so powerful that he was obviously no match for him alone.
"Ding dong, Zhu Wen's skill 'Brave' is activated, the force is +4, the base force is 85, and the current force is 89."
In less than ten rounds, Bao Long was in danger of being killed under Zhu Wen's powerful force.
"Zhu Wenxiu is so arrogant, Zhao Rong is here too!"
"Feng Fang is here, Zhu Wen will die."
"Zhu Wen, take a shot from me, Xia Mou."
"Chun Yu Qiong is coming."
Chun Yuqiong, who was drunk, finally sobered up. After putting on his armor, he saw the generals going to kill Zhu Wen and followed him.
"Ding dong, because the Eight Lieutenants of Xiyuan's combo skill 'Eight Generals' is activated."
"Eight Generals: The Eight Lieutenants of Xiyuan have a unique combination skill. This skill can only be activated when four people are present. When four people are present, all members have force +1; when five people are present, all members have force +2. When six people are present, all members have force +3; when seven people are present, all members have force +4; when eight people gather together, all members have force +5.”
"Ding dong, because Zhao Rong, Bao Long, Feng Fang, Xia Mou, and Chun Yuqiong gathered together, all five of them have +2 strength."
"Zhao Rong's current force is 74, Bao Long's current force is 76, Feng Fang's current force is 75, Xia Mou's current force is 78, and Chunyu Qiong's current force is 86."
Zhu Wen alone had to fend off four generals with a strength of over 70, which was already his limit. However, Chun Yuqiong, who had a strength of 86, dared to continue his low profile. After knocking Bao Long back with a single blow, he quickly retreated.
With Zhu Wen's withdrawal, the city gate was finally temporarily saved, but more and more Yellow Turban warriors climbed onto the city tower. Although Bao Long and other five generals organized a counterattack, they all ended in failure.
It was getting daylight, and the two sides had been fighting at the city gate all night, with broken limbs everywhere and countless casualties. However, the city gate was finally opened by the Yellow Turban Army.
Looking at the wide open Hulaoguan city gate, Guo Jia shook his head, his eyes full of disappointment. Seeing this, Xiang Yu patted Guo Jia on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Sir, don't be disappointed. There will be many opportunities in the future. Huang Chao can't hide from him at first." One, you can’t hide from fifteen.”
After saying this, Xiang Yu picked up his halberd, mounted a tall and handsome horse, and led his men to rush towards Hulao Pass.
"It's over!"
When Bao Long and other generals saw that they could not hold the city gate in the end, their eyes were full of despair, and their hearts were wavering as to whether they should surrender or not.
At this moment, a trumpet sound sounded from behind Hulao Pass. Zhao Rong was overjoyed and shouted: "Reinforcements have arrived, brothers, hold on!"
"Swear to defend Hulao Pass to the death!"
Bao Long roared and rushed towards Xiang Yu at the forefront. Chunyu Qiong and other generals were not to be left behind and rushed towards Xiang Yu together.
Seeing that five Han generals dared to rush towards him, Xiang Yu felt a little excited. After feeling the internal energy fluctuations in their bodies, Xiang Yu flashed a trace of disdain in his eyes and said coldly: "Seeking death!"
Xiang Yu rode his horse towards the five people, waved the halberd in his hand, and Zhao Rong's head fell to the ground. The halberd struck again and directly cut off Feng Fang's sword, cutting it in half from the waist. Then he picked up the halberd and directly killed Feng Fang. Xia Mou picked up the fee, then took advantage of the situation and cut it in half.
When Bao Long and Chunyu Qiong saw that Xiang Yu had killed three generals instantly, they were frightened to death. If they dared to resist, they drew their horses and ran away.
"Want to run?"
A trace of amusement flashed in Xiang Yu's eyes, and when he sat down, the divine horse seemed to feel the will of its master, and immediately ran after Bao Long.
Xiang Yu swung his halberd and chopped off Bao Long's head as cleanly as chopping vegetables.
