Hearing Cao Ren suddenly exclaim "It's not good", Sun Ce who was beside Cao Ren couldn't help but was startled. Now that the situation is very good, why would Cao Ren say "It's not good"? Sun Ce quickly stepped forward and asked: "General Cao, what's wrong? Come out.
What happened?"
Cao Ren's face turned pale, and he opened his mouth to shout, but in the end he shook his head helplessly. When Sun Ce asked, Cao Ren could only say with a grimace: "I was wrong! How wrong! Sun Ce
Major General! Look!" After saying that, Cao Ren stretched out his hand and pointed to the battlefield ahead.
Sun Ce looked in the direction pointed by Cao Ren, only to see that the coalition forces were now attacking Hangu Pass according to the tactics Cao Ren had previously deployed, and the coalition forces at the front had successfully begun to build up the walls of Hangu Pass.
The ladder was raised! In Sun Ce's view, everything went smoothly and there was nothing wrong with it. Cao Ren explained from the side: "The pass of Hangu Pass is narrow, and the soldiers and horses rushing to the gate cannot be too large."
Many, and because the white horse Yi Cong and the archers have to suppress the arrow towers on both sides, the road to attack Hangu Pass is further narrowed! In this way, the intensity of the attack on Hangu Pass will be reduced to the minimum! Now, can you
It’s not certain that we can capture Hangu Pass!”
"Ah!" Although Sun Ce is usually a bit reckless, he is also a good hand in marching and fighting. After listening to Cao Ren's explanation, he immediately saw the reason. Sure enough, the white horse Yi Cong and archers on the left and right had already occupied about half of the road in front of the pass.
The space that was originally very narrow was even more crowded now! Even if the coalition forces attacking Hangu Pass were more than 10,000 people, there were only less than two or three thousand people who actually rushed to Hangu Pass. The others
They were all blocked behind! After Sun Ce understood the situation, he immediately said in a hurry: "Then what are you waiting for! Get the white horse Yi Cong and the archers back quickly!"
"No!" Cao Ren's face became more and more bitter, and he shook his head and said: "Retreating now will only make the previous loss of Baima Yicong meaningless! And now Baima Yicong and the archers are already blocked in the middle.
, if they are ordered to withdraw now, the offensive against Hangu Pass will be completely cut off! The more than 3,000 soldiers in front will face the three-sided attack of Hangu Pass and will surely die! At the moment, the only option is to continue the attack.
attack!"
"Uh!" Sun Ce was also speechless. Cao Ren was indeed right. This is already the situation. Now the coalition forces have no choice but to carry out this mistake to the end! Gritting his teeth, Sun Ce shouted to Cao Ren: "General Cao! You
Continue to command! I will bear all the consequences!"
Cao Ren was stunned for a moment, but he immediately understood what Sun Ce meant. If the battle reached this level, even if Hangu Pass could be captured in the end, it would definitely be a disastrous victory. Cao Ren, who commanded the battle afterwards, must bear the responsibility. After all, now
It was a coalition of princes from all directions, not the troops of Cao Cao's family. But Sun Ce's words put all the responsibilities on himself, in order to let Cao Ren put down all psychological burdens and command the battle wholeheartedly. Sun Ce's words
Cao Ren was very grateful for the kindness, and at the same time, Cao Ren was secretly wary. This Sun Wu's successor was indeed no ordinary person! If he succeeded Sun Wu in the future, it would not be a good thing for Cao Wei!
Putting aside other distracting thoughts for the time being, Cao Ren took a deep breath, turned around and shouted to the herald behind him: "Beat the drum to send the order! The whole army speeds up the attack! No retreat without the general's order! Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!"
As the war drums sounded, the coalition soldiers on the battlefield also fought bravely. Soon, the wall of Hangu Pass was already covered with coalition soldiers who were climbing up!
While at the gate, Gao Shun remained unmoved at all and calmly watched the battle outside the gate. The same was true for the soldiers who had formed a formation behind him. Everyone had no expression on their faces and stared straight ahead. Just in front of him.
In their hands, the single sword that had been unsheathed exuded an intimidating cold light, like a fang ready to swallow life at any time!
At this time, a coalition soldier at the front had already climbed to the top of the ladder. In fact, these coalition soldiers did not encounter any obstruction when they climbed Hangu Pass. It can be said that they went very smoothly.
He climbed up from below. The soldier grabbed the female wall directly above with one hand, gritted his teeth, pushed hard, and jumped to the barrier. He was able to overcome it so easily. The soldier was also a little unbelievable.
. But before he could start to be surprised, a cold light appeared in his eyes, and his head was chopped off instantly! And the head flying in the air still maintained an ecstatic smile!
After beheading the coalition soldier, Gao Shun swung his sword and shook off the blood on the blade. He looked coldly at the coalition soldiers who were climbing up the pass and shouted loudly: "Fall into the camp! The killing formation begins!"
"Drink!" The voices of the soldiers in the trapped camp were as neat as one person. After this shout, the first row of soldiers in the trapped camp waved their single swords and neatly moved towards the people who had just climbed up in front.
The coalition soldiers who came up slashed over! There was only about ten inches of space between the blades. With such a dense density of blades, those coalition soldiers had no room to hide. In the blink of an eye, all the coalition soldiers who climbed up the pass were all gone.
He was chopped into pieces!
"Hiss——!" Seeing such results, there were gasps from time to time among the coalition forces outside the pass. They were obviously frightened by such a powerful attack power of the trapped camp! Of course, this shock was only short-lived.
Yes, the soldiers and horses trained by the princes from all directions were no ordinary soldiers. Soon, they were thrown into fighting again.
The trap soldiers in the gate did not stop attacking because of the victory just now. Following closely behind, the trap soldiers in the second and third rows strode forward, while the first row of trap soldiers who had just launched the attack were
Withdrawing from the left and right sides, there was just room for the comrades behind. When the second row of trapped soldiers rushed to the front, the newly empty female wall was filled with allied soldiers who had just climbed up.
"Drink!" There was another shout, and along with the steel knives flashing with cold light, they once again killed all the enemies in front of the trap camp! This formation of the trap camp was specially designed by Gao Shun to defend Hangu.
The killing formation trained by the pass! Gao Shun swung his sword and killed a fish that slipped through the net. He looked at the enemy troops outside the pass coldly and hummed: "I have never thought about relying on arrow towers and archers to defend Han.
Gu Guan! I, Gao Shun, am the strongest supporter and will always be trapped in the camp!"
Then there were three consecutive beheadings, and miraculously no one in the trap camp was injured! And in front of the trap camp, there were more than 500 coalition soldiers who died tragically under the sword of the trap camp! With such a result,
Sun Ce and Cao Ren, who were commanding outside the pass, could see that they were baring their teeth, but they were helpless. They raised their heads and looked at the sky. At this time, the sky had begun to darken slowly. If they waited until dark, it would be more difficult to solve the problem.
Yes! Cao Ren gritted his teeth, turned to look at Sun Ce, and said, "General Sun! We..."
Before Cao Ren could finish speaking, Sun Ce directly interrupted him and shouted in a deep voice: "Don't ask me! Now you are the commander! All you have to do is command the army! I said, I will bear all the consequences!"
Sun Ce's words made Cao Ren calm down inexplicably, and he turned to look at the battlefield ahead. At this moment, the four arrow towers at Hangu Gate were completely burning, and the archers on the arrow towers also withdrew from the arrow towers one after another. If
If nothing else, these four arrow towers can be said to have been completely destroyed! However, the battle in Guan Guan is still one-sided, and the trapped camp in Guan Guan is really awesome! Even if there are occasionally a few trapped camp
Soldiers were chopped and injured, but they were soon rescued by their comrades behind them, and at the same time, other soldiers who were trapped in the camp came to fill in! Although the coalition soldiers continued to climb up to the critical point, they were still unable to push the trapped camp back.
Retreating, more and more coalition soldiers died tragically at the critical moment.
Cao Ren gritted his teeth and shouted to the herald behind him: "Ming Jin withdraws the troops!" There is not much time left before dark. If this continues, it will be impossible to completely capture Hangu Pass before dark, and can only expand
The losses of the coalition forces must be cut off, otherwise, they will be in chaos! Moreover, the four arrow towers have been removed, so this battle is not without gain! Without the threat of the arrow towers, the coalition forces can calmly withdraw from the battlefield.
!
"Dang, Dang, Dang, Dang, Dang!" The clear sound of ringing gold spread across the entire battlefield. The climbing coalition soldiers were just stunned for a moment, and then they withdrew from the battle in accordance with military orders. Although the coalition was a temporary army composed of princes from all over the world,
But from the actions of these soldiers, there is no sign of the common problems of the miscellaneous army.
And at the gate, after seeing the enemy's retreat, Gao Shun did not show the slightest expression of joy, and always remained indifferent, as if such a victory was a matter of course. Gao Shun picked up his saber and waved it hard,
He shook off the blood stains on the knife, then raised it high and shouted: "Fall in the camp! Close the camp!"
Hearing Gao Shun's order, the soldiers trapped in the camp did not hesitate at all. They quickly sheathed their swords and retreated. In the blink of an eye, they returned to the square formation before the battle. If it weren't for the corpses on the ground and the blood stains on their bodies, it would have been almost impossible.
It makes people doubt that they have moved at all!
Sun Ce and Cao Ren outside the pass looked at the movement in the distance, their eyes full of complexity. Cao Ren sighed: "Trapped in the camp! Gao Shun! This man must be our biggest obstacle in capturing Hangu Pass!" Although Sun Ce did not answer, but from his perspective
His eyes also agreed with Cao Ren's words.
At this time, Yan Gang, who had been staying behind before, rode up with a gloomy face, looked at Sun Ce and Cao Ren resentfully, and shouted: "General Sun! In today's battle, Baima Yi lost nearly a thousand troops.
Five hundred people! I hope that by then, Major General Sun will be able to give a good explanation to Marquis Yan!"
