"Kill." Hundreds of the thousands of remnants behind him roared angrily and followed Cao Hong to kill him. But most of them chose to remain silent.
After losing Tongguan, their morale is low, and their physical strength is gone. They are like a lost dog. How can they fight again? The courage to face death is indeed admirable, but how many people still want to live.
Cao Hong is tragic, but it is impossible for this kind of miracle to happen in this world where hundreds of defeated soldiers defeated thousands of elite soldiers.
"Kill." As soon as the two sides came into contact, Zhang Heng's army immediately gained the absolute upper hand. The spears in the hands of the soldiers were like lightning, assassinating Cao Hong's soldiers one after another.
In an instant, most of Cao's soldiers were killed or wounded. Countless Zhang Heng's soldiers began to surround Cao Hong, attacking Cao Hong mercilessly with their spears.[
"Kill." Cao Hong roared repeatedly, and the long knife in his hand was like a thunderbolt, breaking through the sound and killing Zhang Heng's soldiers one after another.
The tragic and tragic atmosphere is spreading.
But as the saying goes, it is difficult for a tiger to defeat a pack of wolves. Zhang Heng's soldiers followed him one after another with ease and no fear.
"Kill." Finally, a soldier stabbed the war horse under Cao Hong's crotch. The horse suffered pain and immediately fell to the ground. "Kill" Countless soldiers rushed forward, and more than ten spears pierced Cao Hong's body.
"ah."
Cao Hong looked up to the sky and spat out a mouthful of blood and died on the spot. At this point, the fighting stopped. A generation of fierce general Cao Hong did not die in Tongguan attack. When he was determined to take revenge, he died on the way back, at the hands of Yi Ji.
After defeating Cao Hong, the soldiers surrounded Cao's defeated army who had lost their will to resist.
"What should we do?" Zhang Ba asked Yi Ji. They were considered to be on the run. If they were caught up by Chang'an's pursuers, they would probably be killed immediately, but it would be a pity to abandon these thousands of prisoners.
Yiji also thinks it is a pity. The unification of the Han Dynasty is currently moving forward steadily. If he kills the prisoners, he will be struck by lightning. If he does not kill them, he will leave them to Zhong Yao to attack Chang'an in the future, which will cause trouble.
Big.
Therefore, after Yiji pondered for a moment, he decisively ordered: "Immediately send out scouting horses to the rear to inquire about the news. Let's see if Zhong Yao's pursuers are coming. In addition, take out the dry food and water and feed them to the prisoners to rest for a while.
, and then escort them to Tongguan."
"Promise." Zhang Ba agreed and immediately went down to do it.
The soldiers took out dry food and water bags and gave them to the prisoners of Cao's army to eat. After running around all night, the prisoners of Cao's army were almost hungry and their chests were pressed against their backs. No matter whether it was humiliation or not, they ate dry food and drank water guzzlingly.
The group rested for about two-quarters of an hour when they heard the sound of horse hoofbeats from behind. Zhang Ba immediately felt something in his heart and looked behind him.
"Report to the Major General, Zhong Yao's army has been spotted in the rear." Soon after, several fast horses appeared in front of the two of them, and the knights on the horses reported.
"How much distance is there?" Yi Ji asked.
"About three or four miles," the knight replied.
"Let's go, continue running eastward." Yi Ji was very decisive and immediately ordered.
"Promise." Zhang Ba agreed, immediately organized his soldiers, drove away the prisoners of Cao's army, and continued towards Tongguan.
Shortly after Yiji, Zhang Ba led his troops to leave, Zhong Yao and Sima Yi led their troops to kill him. In front of them, hundreds of corpses lay dead. Cao Hong's headless corpse pointed to the sky, which was particularly desolate.[
Seeing this scene, even a fool knows that Tongguan Pass is probably broken. General Cao Hong, with 20,000 elite soldiers, the second most powerful pass in the world, has been broken?
"Tongguan." Zhong Yao opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood and fell off his horse.
