Chapter 567 The second melee at Hulao Pass (Part 1)
Chapter 556: The second melee at Hulao Pass (Part 1)
In the hearts of all Han soldiers, as long as Xiang Yu did not appear, Zhang Liang would be the turtle in the urn. It would be almost impossible to escape under the pursuit of the Xiliang cavalry.
"Did you really escape?"
Qin Hao looked to the east with a complicated expression. Immediately after receiving two prompts from the system, Qin Hao's eyes flashed with surprise.
"Ding dong, Xiang Yu's skill 'Overlord' is activated. When uniting the army in battle, it can reduce the enemy's combat effectiveness and damage the enemy's morale. The Han army's combat effectiveness will begin to decline."
"Ding dong, Xiang Yu's skill 'Broken Army' is activated. When commanding the cavalry, the command is 5 and the force is 4. The morale of the whole army will increase, the combat power will increase, and the speed will increase..."
Looking at the city gate behind him, Zhang Liangliang felt extremely unwilling. He knew that if he didn't leave, he might not be able to leave.
But even if he escapes from Hulao Pass, can he really escape? The Xiliang Cavalry will never let him, the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty, go.
"After all the hard work, have we finally failed? We have reached a desperate situation."
A trace of bitterness flashed across Zhang Liang's face, and then he looked to the east and said to himself: "Xiang Yu, if you hadn't come earlier, I would have really killed myself."
Dian Wei saw that Zhang Liang had not responded, so he immediately picked up Zhang Liang and prepared to retreat, but at this moment the ground suddenly shook.
This shaking sound was like the gospel of God to the ears of all the defenders. As veterans, they all knew that what was coming from the east was the sound of horse hooves.
A thousand meters away from the east gate of Hulao Pass, a large group of well-equipped cavalry rushed towards Hulao Pass at full speed, and the general at the head was Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu's eyes were full of fighting spirit. He raised his halberd in his hand, then pointed directly at Hulao Pass and roared: "The Overlord's Iron Cavalry."
After saying this, the elite cavalry behind Xiang Yu raised their soldiers and roared in unison: "Dominate the world."
"The overlord's iron cavalry dominates the world."
"The Overlord's cavalry dominates the world..."
After the shocking sound spread back to Hulao Pass, all the soldiers in the east gate calmed down, and everyone's faces were filled with joy.
Zhang Liang never expected that the reinforcements would arrive an hour early. When Dian Wei saw this, he put him down. Zhang Liang drew out his sword from his waist and shouted: "Soldiers, the reinforcements have arrived. Let's kill them."
Go back!"
"Kill!"
The arrival of reinforcements and Zhang Liang's personal participation in the battle greatly boosted the morale of the defenders. They risked their lives to counterattack and fell, which also caused great trouble to the Liangzhou army, but Li Shimin didn't care about it. p>
In Li Shimin's view, this is just a return to glory. What's more, what will happen even if enemy reinforcements arrive? The Liangzhou army has already entered Kehulao Pass, can they still be driven out by the Ming army?
As we all know, the predecessor of the Ming Army was the Yellow Turban Army, and the average combat strength of the Yellow Turban Army was weaker than that of the Han Army, so how could it be an opponent of the stronger Liangzhou Army?
As for the elite troops such as the Yellow Turban Warriors, they were either killed or captured after the Battle of Sizhou. As a result, 80% of the Ming Dynasty is now new recruits.
Zhang Liang is so eager to rescue these prisoners of war because with these 100,000 veteran prisoners of war, the pressure on Ming Dynasty, which is surrounded by enemies on all sides, will be greatly reduced.
After hearing Dongfang Zhentian's cry, Li Shimin not only did not feel uneasy at all, but a hint of joy flashed across his face.
"Finally, Xiang Yu, I will never give you any chance this time!"
Hearing the slogan of Bawangqi coming from the east, Qin Hao's brows suddenly furrowed.
During the decisive battle of the Yellow River, Xiang Yu personally led the Overlord Cavalry and killed 300,000 Han troops. From then on, the name of the elite Overlord Cavalry was spread throughout the world.
The Overlord Cavalry is the most elite cavalry unit of the Yellow Turbans. Even at its peak, the Yellow Turbans had a million-strong army, the number of Overlord Cavalry was only maintained at 5,000, which shows that the Overlord Cavalry has strict requirements on its soldiers.
During the Battle of Luoyang, Pojunying used advanced cavalry tactics and severely damaged the Overlord Cavalry once under the command of Yue Fei.
After that, Qin Hao was helpless against this elite cavalry until he used the flood strategy to completely annihilate the 400,000 Yellow Turban army.
Qin Hao originally thought that this elite group had been swallowed up by the Han River, but he did not expect that it would reappear today, which shows that not all of the Overlord Cavalry were buried in the flood.
Although the Bawang Cavalry was not completely wiped out, more than half of them were damaged by the flood, and were later rescued by Li Mi of Yuzhou.
The flooding plan harmed more than a million lives. Although Li Mi of Yuzhou, located under the Han River, was unable to save all the affected people, he was able to save all the Yellow Turban soldiers who survived.
Li Mi, an ordinary soldier, naturally reorganized him directly, but Bawangqi was Xiang Yu's personal soldier, so of course he would not accept the reorganization. Li Mi, who failed to do so, did not let him return, but instead raised Bawangqi in a camp.
It was not until the founding of the Ming Dynasty that Zhang Sheng used coercion and inducement through various diplomatic methods to finally get the Overlord Cavalry back from Li Mi. The reorganized Overlord Cavalry also had a strength of 3,000 people.
Li Xiuning said at this time: "Second brother, the reinforcements coming this time are Bawang Cavalry. It may be difficult for ordinary Liangzhou soldiers to resist, so let's let the Feixiong Army go up."
After Li Shimin thought for a moment, he nodded in agreement. Although he didn't think this team was very strong, he didn't want to give Xiang Yu any chance.
"Ding dong, Xiang Yu's skill 'Overlord' is activated in conjunction with the exclusive unit Overlord Cavalry, and the Overlord Cavalry's combat power surges again."
Special elite troops coupled with the effects of exclusive skills can produce better effects than two or three other skills.
Seeing that under the leadership of Xiang Yu, the Overlord Cavalry actually suppressed the Fei Xiong Army and had a tendency to penetrate them, Li Shimin could no longer sit still.
"Yuanba, General Yuwen Chengdu, and General Li Cunxiao, the three of you immediately attacked Xiang Yu. You must not give Xiang Yu any chance this time."
Li Shimin ordered with a cold face. Although he didn't know why Xiang Yu dared to come back, he should not leave since he came back. With his absolute strength, even Xiang Yu could not escape death.
"No!"
After receiving the order, the three generals all rushed towards Xiang Yu. Among them, Li Yuanba was the most excited. He was not interested in being the best in the world, he just wanted to avenge his three brothers.
Zhang Liang also discovered at this time that this wave of reinforcements only had 3,000 elite cavalry, so they could arrive an hour early.
But even the elite Overlord Cavalry, with only this small number of people, can they really stop the Han army?
The Liangzhou Army's combat power is not weak, and they also have an advantage in terms of the number of generals!
But when he saw the row of people behind Xiang Yu, Zhang Liang suddenly showed a look of shock, and then said to himself: "What a courage, I wish you were a man."
Li Yuanba wanted to kill Xiang Yu most urgently, so he rushed to the front, and the other two people followed him. Li Yuanba left no one behind, and he easily killed all around Xiang Yu.
