Chapter 750 The mountain pass is broken
Within the pass.
Almost in an instant, the Qin army soldiers at the top of the city retreated in full, with well-trained movements and no hesitation at all.
From the position of the allied army's commander, seeing that Shanyuguan was about to be breached, Huang Zu couldn't help it any longer, drew out his battle sword, and pointed forward fiercely:
"All armies attack——"
The war drum beats like exploding beans!
With this supreme order, instead of attacking the city in batches, the entire army began to charge together.
The entire plain outside the pass was filled with dust and armor, and the scene was extremely spectacular.
Not long after, the coalition forces at the forefront had completely entered the pass, but the well-trained Qin army had all evacuated as soon as the city was broken, leaving only a mess on the ground.
Ye Gui had already followed the ladder to attack the city, and then ran down the city defense. He was at the forefront of the coalition forces, pointing his spear: "Chase!"
Such a great victory, if we don't take advantage of the victory and pursue it, how long will it take?
Under his leadership, the coalition soldiers followed the Qin army's escape route and pursued them all the way.
After a while, they were about to catch up with the Qin army, but at this moment, rows of black armor and red tassels suddenly stood up on the mountains on both sides.
Amidst the sound of armor scraping, He Zhen waved his hand and shouted coldly: "Fire the arrow!"
Following his orders, arrows rained down like rain.
Plop, plop!
The sound of arrows piercing flesh was heard. Unprepared for the coalition soldiers at the front, they were shot over a large area in an instant.
The screams came one after another, and Ye Gui was also waving his spear desperately, constantly blocking.
The Qin army fired arrows non-stop, one after another. Under such circumstances, how could the coalition pursue and start waving their weapons to block? They could not stop retreating.
At the same time, large rocks were also pushed down by a group of people, down the steep slope, and crashed into the crowd...
The scene was bloody and tragic. The effect of this ambush was almost perfect. Is this also the danger of Shanyuguan? Not only is the city pass difficult to break, but even if it is broken, there is a natural best ambush point in this pass.
At present, most of the coalition forces have poured into the pass. It was just that the front line was blocked after entering the valley road. Not long after, the news also reached Huang Zu.
At this time, the three commanders have gathered together. Naturally, the three of them have already thoroughly studied the overall terrain of Shanyuguan. This ambush is actually not surprising.
After hearing the soldiers' report, Huang Zu said: "If you want to pass through the valley road in Shanyu Pass? The only way is to attack the mountain? Only by completely occupying the entire Shanyu Pass can our army pass safely."
Huangfu Ye agreed: "Now that the city has been broken, it is not surprising that there is such an ambush in the pass. This should also be the Qin army's rear-cutting force, which can be immediately deployed to attack the mountain. Their main force has been defeated, and the ambush force cannot hold out for long."
"Having said that, I still have a little worry." Huang Zudao: "Judging from the situation before Shanyuguan, it should take several months to break through, but today the Qin army suddenly lost, and the defeat was a bit inexplicable.
ah."
As soon as he finished speaking, Han Zhou said: "What's so strange about this? Huang Shuai didn't hear that the King of Qin had already moved away all the residents in the pass. What does this mean? It means that the King of Qin knew before that the Shanyu Pass could not be defended. This
We want to conserve our troops and retreat to Sichuan and Shu. The Qin army’s retreat should have been prepared long ago.”
"Well, that makes sense." Huang Zu nodded.
Subsequently, after leaving a pile of corpses on the valley road, the coalition forces began to lay out a strategy to attack the mountain.
On the other side, Su Yi has led the main army to retreat across the board. Before leaving, he also told a messenger: "Tell He Zhen that after the ambush, it is enough to hold off the coalition forces for one day and retreat immediately. There is no need to fight to the death to stop them."
"No!" the ordering soldier clasped his fists and left.
This order quickly reached He Zhen.
At this time, the coalition forces had been severely beaten and were resting for the attack on the mountain. He Zhen was also commanding the soldiers.
"Soldiers, move quickly!"
"Gather all the rolling stones to the front line!"
Under the mountains on both sides, soldiers moved together. They were busy, mostly in groups of two, placing rolling stones, maces and other items in position so that they could be rolled down at any time.
At this moment, the messenger also hurried over.
"Report~~~~~"
"General, Commander Su has an order for you to hold off for one day and retreat tomorrow at your option."
The ordering soldier knelt down on one knee beside He Zhen, but the latter didn't even look back and continued to command the soldiers, and then said:
"Tell Su Shuai that you can't find me."
"What?" The messenger was startled and said hurriedly: "But General..."
"It's nothing!" He Zhen interrupted him directly, and walked out of here without even looking at him.
Looking at his back, the messenger had no choice but to hurried down the mountain, rode back, and reported to Su Yi.
At this time, Su Yi's army was marching and evacuating. After listening to what the ordering soldier said, he looked darkly and only murmured: "This common man..."
Then, he waved his hand and told the messenger to retreat.
With Su Yi's talent, he didn't understand that if Luhe really broke off the ambush, the latter would definitely not retreat and would definitely fight to the death.
But that was the case, Su Yi still kept him.
This shows that Su Yi wanted to inflict heavy losses on the enemy at the minimum cost.
And He Zhen is very loyal. A typical general like him would rather die in battle than take a step back.
This battle to attack the mountain was even worse than the attack on the city. On the same ladder frame and the mountain walls on both sides, looking horizontally, there were soldiers desperately climbing up everywhere.
He Zhen had 20,000 people and was well prepared. Under arrows and rolling stones, barbed maces kept smashing into the crowd from the mountain. The battlefield was tragic as can be imagined.
After the fierce fighting during the day, the coalition forces launched a night attack without pause.
However, there was absolutely no problem for Ping Hezhen's 20,000 soldiers to guard the mountain for one day and choose an opportunity to retreat the next day, but he refused this order.
The unyielding general is ready to die with the enemy!
The fierce battle on the valley road continued for six or seven days. It was not until He Zhen's arrows were exhausted and there were no rolling stones that the coalition forces attacked the top of the mountain.
On one side of the mountain, He Zhen showed no intention of giving in. He pulled out the battle sword from his waist and screamed: "Kill!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he took the lead and was the first to meet the attacking coalition forces.
The swords slashed, blood spattered, and the soldiers of the Qin army behind them also raised their halberds and rushed towards the coalition forces with shouts.
The two sides started a face-to-face hand-to-hand combat.
But the coalition forces were too numerous. Although the Qin army was brave, they could not hold back the troops and advance one after another.
Everywhere in the mountains, there were shouts of killing.
Blood, along the slope, gathered into a small river, flowing...
During the period when the coalition forces were attacking the mountain, various units of the Qin Army also completed a series of deployments.
