Chapter 73 Huang Zhong attacks

On the other side, outside Hangu Pass, Dong Zhuo's vanguish troops of more than 100,000, that is, the real Xiliang army under his command, entered Hangu Pass. When a small part of the convoy behind entered Hangu Pass, Huang Zhong, who had been ambushing, rushed out and cut off the connection between the Xiliang army and these people, and cut off the remaining Xiliang army's retreat. Originally, seeing that there were only more than 10,000 troops to cut off their own roads, the Xiliang army was a little angry. In today's world, except for the Youzhou army led by Liu Bin, they did not take the troops of other princes seriously at all, especially when they had the advantage of large numbers, they were ready to attack and destroy the troops. Because they also knew that there must be pursuers behind them and they could not delay them for too long, but before they could start taking action, the other party's banner was raised, which immediately gave them the idea.

Oh my God. It was the army of Youzhou and the terrible group of people. Although the leader was not the terrible King of Jin, since he dared to take the banner of Youzhou and only brought such a little people to cut off his retreat, it was definitely not an ordinary person. So they consciously put away their plans to attack these people. It was not difficult to destroy these people. But the problem is that they still have pursuers behind them now, and they don’t have that much time. Therefore, the Xiliang army who had entered Hangu Pass and did not come out of Hangu Pass, and those who had not yet entered Hangu Pass left the guards and ran away. Anyway, these people and carriages stopped the footsteps of the Youzhou army, and they could not catch up with them for a while.

Dong Zhuo, who was in Hangu Pass, almost vomited blood when he saw this situation. Yes, he was also afraid of the Youzhou army, and he was also scared by the Youzhou army. But what he was afraid of was that there were Liu Bin's Youzhou army. Now these Youzhou soldiers are so few, and there is no such pervert as Liu Bin, but his subordinates dare not fight, which is too embarrassing. Those people were intercepted, so forgot, he didn't feel sorry for these people, he had planned to do so.

These people were used to stumble on the footsteps of the Youzhou army. If they were lost, they would be lost. But the problem was that the money he had plundered from Luoyang and some officials had not yet entered the pass. These money were the lifeblood of his future development. Without this money, he would fight against the princes who wanted his own life in the future. Liangzhou and Chang'an, the three auxiliary places, had already declined for a long time, so how could he support hundreds of thousands of generals under his command?

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents. This hatred is so great that Dong Zhuo will not give up anything, so he was furious and asked his subordinates to go out and grab the money back. If he didn't go, he would kill people on the spot. The generals of the Xiliang Army were forced to have no choice but to take the people except Hangu Pass to take the money back. Anyway, they have a large number of people and are not ready to fight with the Youzhou Army. As long as some people tangle the Youzhou Army first, the remaining people can take this opportunity to take back the money back. They are all veterans who rob things, and they are very skilled in this way, which should not be a problem.

But the result was a bit beyond their expectations. They had just come out of Hangu Pass and before they had time to set up a formation to charge, the opposite side shot them back with a rain of arrows. Under the influence of Liu Bin, the Youzhou Army thought that they all paid great attention to long-range strike capabilities. No matter what unit it was, they basically had a certain range strike capabilities. Huang Zhong himself was a famous archer. This time the troops he led were light cavalry who focused on cavalry and shooting, so he used the utilities to fully utilize the crossbows, such as slapping crossbows, continuous crossbows, and hand crossbows.

There were even a few crossbows, which were all-round long-range attacks from far to near. Although there were not many ten thousand people, it was still no problem to block the gate of Hangu Pass. Moreover, this time they also knew the hardship of the task and knew that it would be a super arduous task to block hundreds of thousands of troops and millions of people with more than ten thousand people, so they deliberately brought some crossbow arrows. Anyway, they didn't have to stick to it for long, and someone would come to pick them up. They just had to persist for a while, so there was no need to save arrows.

The Youzhou Army finally made Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Army understand the true meaning of the word "Arrow Rain". As long as someone dares to emerge, there will be several arrows immediately, or even dozens of arrows shot him. This arrow rain scared the Xiliang Army so much that it dared not open the door. Even Dong Zhuo was so scared that he quickly left the city gate and hid below. Although there was no more pervert like Liu Bin in the world, he could shoot more than 400 steps, he still didn't dare to take this danger. It would be fine to knock down the crossbow. Although this thing has a long range, its accuracy is not too high. The problem is that the other party actually has heavy weapons such as car crossbows in his hand. If the other party finds that he is aiming at himself and shooting, he may not be as lucky as last time.

He went down to the city wall and saw his subordinates' miserable appearance, he couldn't help but be shocked and angry, so shocked that he was naturally the combat power of the Youzhou Army. After all, these were his elite troops. He was so angry that he was naturally because these were his elite troops, they were actually scared by people less than ten times more than him, so he was so scared that he dared to go out. If it was spread, he wouldn't be laughed at. Of course, he also knew that these subordinates were habitually bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. When they met someone weaker than him, they were as cruel as a group of wild wolves, but when they met someone stronger than him, they were as weak as a group of sheep. It was already good that they had not been beaten by the Youzhou Army and fled in panic. They were also doing their best.

But Dong Zhuo didn't want to give up just like that. He was unwilling to give up. There were hundreds of cars of gold, silver and treasures he had plundered in Luoyang outside. If he just lost it, it would be a pity. He wouldn't feel sorry for him. Although money is something outside of his body, these things outside of his body are related to his future destiny. Whoever he threw them to cannot be thrown to his strongest opponent. If these things were snatched by some weak princes, it would be fine. At most, there would be a more powerful opponent, but it would not threaten his survival status. However, by the hands of Liu Bin who was already outrageously strong, how strong is Liu Bin's power. How many years he can live depends on the other party's mood. So the money must be snatched back.

So Dong Zhuo said to his subordinates viciously: "Go out and grab it for me. No matter what, he will rob me of the money. The other party's crossbow is powerful. Even if you use human life and consume it, you will have to consume his arrow branches. The other party has few people, and they come lightly, so they will definitely not bring many arrow branches. His reinforcements are stuck by the people. They will not come to support them for a moment, and they will all try their best. If the money falls into the hands of Liu Bin of Youzhou, you bastards will not think about living a good life in the future. You can think about what to do. You can think about how to do it yourself."

The generals of the Xiliang Army looked at each other, not knowing what to do, but in the end, Li Jue, the number one general under Dong Zhuo, gritted his teeth and said, "Brothers, the Prime Minister is right, we will fight with them. They will not bring too many arrow branches. We all hold shields and find ways to consume their arrow branches. When their arrow branches are consumed, no matter how powerful they are, they will not be able to withstand the siege of so many of us."

After hearing what Li Jue said, the rest had to obey. They organized the shields of the entire army, but they still felt that it was not enough, so they even removed the door panels and other things in Hangu Pass and used them all as shields. After organizing the shields, the gates of Hangu Pass opened again, and the Xiliang army dispatched again and rushed towards Huang Zhong's troops.

Huang Zhong frowned when he saw this situation outside. Although he brought more arrow branches this time to complete the task, no matter how many arrow branches are, they will be consumed. If the arrow branches are consumed and the other party rushed forward, although his subordinates can fight well, the tiger can't resist the wolves. He originally thought that the rain of arrows just now could scare these people and prevent them from acting rashly for a short time, but he didn't expect that the other party would even want his life for money and actually came with him.

The situation of a desperate situation is really a headache. Huang Zhong can only smile bitterly now, and he has to follow the other party's script and slowly play a war of attrition with the other party. They were originally a surprise soldier, ready to attack the other party's one who was caught off guard. If they really had to fight head-on, they were really not the opponent of the other party's hundreds of thousands of troops. Now Huang Zhong could only pray that Liu Bin and the others would act faster and try to arrive before their arrows were consumed. Otherwise, he would have to bring more than 10,000 people to fight head-on with the other party.

After all, the Youzhou Army is so famous, and its lord has such strict requirements on the army, so it is impossible for him to lead his troops to escape. He dare not lead his troops to escape. The most important thing is that there is no place to run now. The Yellow River to the north, the mountains to the south, the Hangu Pass to the west, and millions of ordinary people to the east, so how can we run? Of course, this situation is what Huang Zhong doesn’t want to see the most, and it is what the Xiliang Army wants to see the most. Now both sides are in a hurry. The Xiliang Army hopes that before the Youzhou Army’s reinforcements arrive, they can play with the other party’s arrow branches, destroy them, and grab the money. Huang Zhong and the others naturally hope that their arrow branches can persist until the arrival of the reinforcements, at least the reinforcements must arrive before hand-to-hand combat. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable. The first failure of the Youzhou Army may have happened here.
