Chapter 142: Bloody Washing of Hangu Pass

Snow is flying all over the sky, with more than half a foot of snow on the ground, and the west wind is blowing by, thousands of snowflakes are flying, which is very beautiful. From a distance, the mountains are covered with silver and winding, like a stretched silver dragon, which really deserves the four words "Silver Snake in the Mountain".

On the road, there was a group of people wearing rags, exhausted, gasping, and galloping on horseback. They looked anxious, as if they were stray dogs who were desperate to chase, and they were defeated Mongolian soldiers led by Shi Tianze.

Shi Tianze was defeated by Li Jun's ashes and Chang'an City. There were very few troops left by Guo Kan's army that led to Guanzhong. As long as there was no problem with his nerves, he wanted to get one problem, that is, Li Jun would definitely send someone to pursue them immediately, and he must capture or kill them alive. It was not Li Jun's cruelty, but the law of war was like this. After defeating the enemy's army, he should try his best to maximize the results of the battle and eliminate the enemy's military leader as much as possible. If a person like Guo Kan did not want to attack him, then Li Jun would not be Li Jun.

After thinking for a while, Shi Tianze knew that he could not stay in Guanzhong. His best place at present was to go east to Hangu Pass. As long as he arrived at Hangu Pass, he could regroup and mobilize the Kwantung army to make a comeback. He had a certain idea. Shi Tianze fled while gathering defeated soldiers, fled all the way, and gathering more than a thousand defeated soldiers for him.

Shi Tianze stared ahead, and the Hangu Pass was vaguely closed. It was estimated that it would take ten miles to enter the pass. As long as you enter the pass, you would get home. There was no need to be afraid of anything. Shi Tianze couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Not only Shi Tianze was happy, but even the defeated Mongolian soldiers were very happy. They all looked happy, and some couldn't help but cheer.

A sudden sound of horse hooves destroyed their good mood. The sound of hooves was extremely loud, as if they were muffled thunder, which made the earth tremble. Shi Tianze, who was used to hearing the sound of horse hooves, knew without thinking that this was the sound of hooves made by thousands of horses, otherwise there would not be such a might. In this situation, there was only one possibility, that is, the pursuit of the Song army was coming.

Shi Tianze looked back and as expected, a group of people and horses were rushing in the snowflakes, like a smooth water line, rushing with flags, which were the flags of the Song army. This Song army was like a dragon, a horse like a tiger, and a rainbow. Compared with Shi Tianze's defeated soldiers, one was in the sky and the other was on the ground, which was incomparable.

The Song army flew away, and in a blink of an eye, it brought a lot closer. Shi Tianze saw clearly. Who was the first general, not Liu Hezi? There was a big man beside him, Xu Guanghan. Everyone's eyes were flashing, like a bright light in the dark night, especially bright. It was unnecessary to think that their target was their defeated soldier. For the depressed Shi Tianze, the light in their eyes was greed like a poisonous snake.

Liu Hezi and the others were full of murderous aura. It was roughly estimated that the Song army was less than seven or eight thousand people. If they caught up with them, they would have no need to know what the consequences would be. The Mongolian defeated soldiers fled without waiting for Shi Tianze's order and rushed towards Hangu Pass.

"What a brainless pig!" Shi Tianze cursed in his heart. Escape along the road, the exhausted defeated soldiers were not as fast as the energetic Song army. It was better to go into the mountain than to stop the defeated soldiers. Shi Tianze originally wanted to drink the defeated soldiers, but then he thought that their run would be of great benefit to him, which could attract the attention of the Song army and help him escape. He did not point it out, and said to Babul: "Bring Zhonghe and go quickly!" After he finished speaking, he rushed to the left first.

Babur was really tough enough. He stabbed Li Jun so hard that his intestines were exposed. He was not dead. It was a miracle. He grabbed Guo Kan's mount with his left hand and ran with Shi Tianze.

During this trip to Guanzhong, Guo Kan was full of confidence. He wanted to avenge his previous shame and defeat Li Jun in Guanzhong. Unexpectedly, he suffered even more severe injuries. His skin and internal organs were seriously corroded by phosphate. He still has a high fever and has been unconscious. Compared with the crimes suffered by the special forces attacked by Xu Guanghan in the Battle of Jiangnan, one in the sky and the other in the underground. Such a large-scale corrosion was not the same as in ancient times, even in modern times with developed medicine. In the case of incurable treatment, Guo Kan suffered a great crime. It can be said that life is worse than death.

Shi Tianze is quite loyal. Although Guo Kan is unconscious and is like a useless person, he has not abandoned him and did not forget to take him with him when he escapes. Guo Kan, a coma man, cannot ride a horse. If he is carried on a stretcher, it will drag the entire team down. Fortunately, Shi Tianze has a way. He tied Guo Kan and Guo Kan on the horse and asked Babur to take the reins.

Liu Hezi waved his hand, and Xu Guanghan led the special forces to chase Shi Tianze and the others. For such scattered soldiers who wanted to enter the mountains, the special forces would be better for them.

Liu Hezi led the remaining Song army to kill the defeated Mongolian troops. When they were far away, they would shoot with crossbows. When they were close, they would either fight hand-to-hand or throw cast iron bombs. At this time, the Mongolian army had no longer the might of the past. The fierce tiger-wolf army had become a thing of the past. For them, their biggest wish was to have two more legs and escape quickly. They could not have the fighting spirit. They had become purely a living target for the Song army. The Song army was like a tide. After the Song army passed, more than a thousand corpses were added on the ground, and the living Mongolian army had already Liao Ruochenxing.

It was originally a good idea to use defeated soldiers to attract the attention of the Song army, but Shi Tianze soon realized that he had made a mistake and his idea could not be realized, because the special forces, led by Xu Guanghan, came over like a wind, and the shouts of "Catch Shi Tianze alive!" and "Catch Guo Kan alive!" made him dizzy.

"Hurry!" Shi Tianze kept urging, and Babur pulled the reins of Guo Kan's mount and followed closely.

Shi Tianze, Guo Kan, Babur, and one of their few personal soldiers entered the mountain. The special forces seemed to have hunters who discovered their prey and chased them.

There is a rogue saying that when a person is unlucky, he will bite his hand when he urinates. Although this is a bit exaggerated, it makes sense. Shi Tianze and his team are in the warehouse to promote the mountain without deciding on the east, west, south, and north, and fleeing in a mess. They actually come around the edge of the cliff, with cliffs in front and pursuers behind. This is a Jedi, and no matter how they have the ability to escape, they can't escape.

"You are old, you still beat me, you still beat me, you still beat me, let's see how you beat me." A Mongolian soldier kicked an old man's lower body with his right foot. With a whirlwind, the old man opened his mouth and gasped, and he couldn't even scream. He slowly fell to the ground, his face pale as snow on the ground, and there was no blood at all.

The Mongolian soldier's eyes were blood-red, and his eyes were flashing with a bloodthirsty beast-like light. His face was flushed, as if a ripe apple was so excited that he was red. His armor was covered with blood. The blood had no time to condense and dripped from the armor onto the snow, making a tick sound.

Holding the scimitar in both hands, he slashed the old man's head on the ground. The old man's head was slanted in half, and the snow-white brain was flowing out with hot air. The bloody Mongolian soldier spitted the red tongue, like a mad dog. He grabbed a handful of brain matter with his left hand and stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it. He couldn't relieve his hatred and scolded: "You damn old man, you dare to hit me." He touched the bleeding wound on his right face with his right hand and scolded: "I ate your brain matter, and if you want you to be a ghost, you will be a brainless ghost." This wound was exactly what the old man was so anxious that he picked up a stone and smashed it.

This is just a microcosm of the bloody city massacre that is happening in Hangu Pass. Now Hangu Pass is already a hell on earth, perhaps even more shocking than hell. There are miserable things everywhere, with Mongolians killing and setting fires everywhere, raped women, and corpses everywhere, not to mention countless corpses, not a single one is complete, and it is very difficult to ravage the Mongolian soldiers.

The survivors of Hangu Pass said this for a long time, "The Tartars are so inhumane! So inhumane! They are not humans! They are death-humane ghosts! Not to mention living people, even dead people are also the targets of their venting. They will kill corpses and chop corpses into meat paste. What is even more unexpected is that they will rape corpses, and sometimes collectively commit violence." He trembled in horror and said, "Their slogan is 'It is not peaceful to let Han dogs become ghosts!"

Massacre of cities has always been the hobby of the Mongolians, but it is probably rare in Mongolian history.

Wuhalie is a man who is good at fighting and has outstanding military achievements. His military achievements are not built with his talents, but are piled up through corpses. He is cruel and ruthless, and bloodthirsty. There are few surviving creatures in the places he has captured. Guo Kan once suggested to Kublai Khan, "Wuhalie is not a butcher, not a devil, he is a farmer, a farmer who harvests crops."

Kublai Kan asked what Guo Kan meant, and Guo Kan replied: "A good farmer will not miss a crop, he will not reveal a living thing, and even an ant will not survive in his territory."

Kublai Khan stroked his palm and said in agreement, "Zhonghe's words are extremely destined! Farmers are always indispensable in the fields. The Great Yuan Dynasty is vast and some places need farmers." He trusted Wuhalie even more.

Guo Kan has one advantage. Unlike other Mongolian generals, he can protect as much as possible. If he can avoid disturbing the people, he will not disturb the people, and will not kill the people. His original intention was to ask Kublai Khan not to use Wuhalie. Unexpectedly, Kublai Khan had good faith in Wuhalie, which was a bit of a mistake.

Wuhalie was determined to massacre the city and fully utilize his cold and bloodthirsty skills to the extreme. The order he issued to the Mongolian army was "Don't let an ant live!" "It's not easy to let the Han dog be a ghost!"

The Mongolian army likes to kill, but with this order of killing, that's not bad. The Mongolian army will destroy everything they can destroy, including people, animals, pigs, dogs, sheep, cows, chickens, ducks, birds, and ants. They are all the targets of their venting. After killing them, it is impossible for Hangu Pass to become hell.

The Mongols' cruelty made Wang Quanqing stunned. He had served in the Mongolian army for a long time and knew the cruelty of the Mongols, but he did not expect that it would be so cruel that he would not believe it if he had not seen it with his own eyes or even beaten to death.

Even though they were surprised, Wang Quanqing was still awake. He knew that there was only one way to live in front of them, that was to occupy the Xicheng Gate, retreat westward, and retreat to Guanzhong. If they could meet the Song army, it would be the best. Even if they could not meet it, it would be much better than waiting to die in the city. At least someone could live when they left the city, and they would die in the city.

With a certain idea, he immediately ordered the Han army soldiers to be in front and the common people to be in the back. He led a team of Han army to cut off the rear and attack the Xicheng Gate. The Mongolian army soldiers were determined to rampant and did whatever they wanted, causing them to act unexpectedly and disrupted them, allowing them to approach the Xicheng Gate soon.

Although Wuhalie was a cold-faced executioner, he did have different military talents. He immediately understood Wang Quanqing and the others' intentions, so he would not let Wang Quanqing and the others escape. He immediately mobilized the army to press towards the Xicheng Gate. He only said to these soldiers, "Do what you want to do!"

Do what you want, that is, you can do whatever you want and do whatever you want. The Mongolian soldiers who were already killed were so crazy that they received this crazy order, and they all used their strength to maximize the most inhuman things, flying towards Wang Quanqing and the others like bows, arrows, crossbows, arrows, and raindrops.

He shouted and launched a death charge towards Wang Quanqing and the others. Wherever the Mongolian soldiers passed, they must be blood from the ground, the result of the blood not being able to soak in the snow and melting the ice and snow.

The Han army had a small number of people, and Wuhalie was killed in a row, not to mention the people, not to mention the number of people. The number was quite large. Since they had not received military training, had no weapons, and had no combat effectiveness at all. More than 10,000 to 20,000 people rushed to the west gate, which became the target of the Mongols' vent.

According to Wang Quanqing's later recollection, "It was a scene that will never be forgotten for life. The Tartars were really inhumane. They were really not humans. As long as they were humans, they would become weak and would not do such inhuman things. They rode war horses and slashed at the crowd with scimitars. They could rush down many people with one rush, and several could be cut down after one waving. In that scene, we seemed to be straws, and the Tartars were farmers, and they were here to harvest our straws."

The people were desperate and fought back, picked up stones, and grabbed snow without them. If there was no stone, they would fight with Mongolian soldiers with their teeth. Unfortunately, they were not at the same level as the Mongolian army armed to the teeth. Although they were extremely brave, they kept falling down.

This is the case, and the people did not retreat. They used blood to shorten the distance from the Xicheng Gate little by little. After paying a high price, they finally arrived at the Xicheng Gate.

Wang Quanqing looked back and saw that there were countless corpses behind him, a thick layer. The corpse was so thick that it was really terrifying to say it. Wang Quanqing saw many Mongolian soldiers falling off their horses because their horses stepped on the corpse and fell down.

There are so many corpses that can make the Mongolian soldiers with superb riding skills fall off the horse. You can imagine how many it is.

Wiping a tearful hand, Wang Quanqing shouted: "Brothers, we will cut off the rear and cover the retreat of the villagers." He stood behind first, held the scimitar in his hand tightly, and chopped off at a Mongolian soldier who was committing violence.

The Han army had a low status, and in the eyes of the Mongols, they were not considered humans. In the eyes of the Han people, their status was not high and they would treat them as traitors. They were really people in the cracks and life was very difficult. However, if there were no Han soldiers like Wang Quanqing who were benevolent, there would not be too many. Because they were not pleased by both sides, they would definitely not love each other and would take care of themselves when they encountered problems.

With Wang Quanqing's example, the Han army did not say anything, stood with him, and fought desperately to gain time for the people to seize the city. The Han army now has less than 500. Although they do not care about life and death, they are not opponents of tens of thousands of Mongolian troops, and people are constantly falling in pools of blood.

There were fewer and fewer people around him, but Wang Quanqing was not panicked. While fighting, he shouted: "Friends, don't panic, we will cover you. You can seize the city gate and hurry out of the city to find the court."

His words were like awakening the common people. I don’t know who shouted “Snatch the city gate! Go to the court!” This sentence seemed to have magical power. It was originally blocking the Mongolian gatekeeper army from the unable to move forward. Suddenly, a magical change occurred and rushed up.

The Mongolian city gate officials would not let them approach. The bows and arrows shot at the people, and the rain-like arrows shot down many ordinary people. If the city gate officials thought, the people with heavy casualties would definitely be frightened and fled to death. However, the fact was not as he thought. The people not only did not retreat, but rushed faster.

The city gate official saw a scene that he would never forget for life, that is, the common people moved over like hemp stalks and drowned them. When he felt pain, he was surprised to find that he had turned into meat.

Just kidding, so many ordinary people rushed up together, even the city wall would collapse. What is the mere little city gate guards? It would be strange if they didn't squeeze them into meat.

As soon as the city gate opened, the people rushed out of the city like wind and ran westward.

At this moment, a shocking shout sounded "Blood debt and blood repayment!" A Song army appeared in sight, like a smooth water line, splashing snowflakes, and flew towards Hangu Pass.
