Chapter 142 Hangu Pass has fallen!

.Pang Yu was wearing a horizontal knife and patrolling the city with more than a dozen personal soldiers.

On the wall, a bonfire rose every ten steps, illuminating the entire moment as bright as day.

The waning moon in the sky had already fallen into the mountains to the west, and the whole world had already sunk into the darkness. Looking out of the city, the fields were pitch black, and there was no sound, let alone any situation.

"Everyone cheer up this general, don't be lazy!" Pang Yu loudly reminded the more than a hundred vigilant whistlemen at the moment, "Lighten your eyes..."

Before he finished speaking, a sharp sound of breaking through the air suddenly came from outside the wall.

Pang Yu instinctively turned his head, and a strong wind almost swept across his cheek, and then he immediately nailed it to the pillar of the enemy building behind him with a "stern" sound. When Pang Yu and the more than ten personal soldiers accompanied him looked at it, they were a wolf-toothed arrow as thick as a thumb. It was several inches deep into the pillar, and the feathers at the tail of the arrow were still trembling violently.

The next moment, a hissing whistling sounded continuously from the night sky.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!" Pang Yu suddenly screamed at the top of his lungs, and then hid under the pile.

The next moment, the dense rain of arrows as dense as locusts had fallen from the sky. The dozen or so soldiers following behind him reacted very quickly, and most of them hid behind the Duan, but the more than a hundred whistlemen guarding the wall could not react in time and were immediately covered by the rain of arrows. In an instant, they were all shot into arrows and fell into a pool of blood.

"Blow the trumpet, blow the trumpet quickly to warn!" Pang Yu drew his sword and ordered loudly.

Dozens of whistlemen who were lucky enough to be hit by the rain of arrows picked up the short horns and blew them hard. In an instant, the distant and desolate horns sounded up from the sky.

Amid the endless sound of trumpets, the Chu soldiers in their sleep woke up one after another. The Chu soldiers were originally lying with clothes, so they didn't need to wear clothes and armor at all. Now they grabbed the weapons placed beside them in the shortest time, and then rushed out of the barracks in a mess, and rushed towards the East Pass like a rush by the scolding of primary schools at all levels.

Almost at the same time, the sound of horns sounded outside the pass, and tens of thousands of torches lit up.

In the bright firelight during the day, thousands of Han army dead soldiers carried hundreds of simple long ladders, like a flood that broke the dike and swept towards the East Pass of Hangu. Behind the group of Han army dead soldiers, tens of thousands of Han army archers were lined up in a dozen rows in front and back, pouring one arrow into the Hangu hurdle.

In the dense rain of arrows like locusts, a Chu army rushed to the top of the city.

After all, Pang Yu was a famous general, and the military books in several rooms were not for nothing. After two days of fierce confrontation, he had already thought of a way to crack the invasion of the Han army's arrow rain, which was to nail them into pieces of "light oars". Of course, these light oars were not as thick as giant oars, and they were still more than enough to resist the floating feather arrows.

With the protection of hundreds of light oars, the Chu army finally grabbed the city.

Soon, thousands of Han army light soldiers rushed to the wall, and long ladders were quickly raised. A hundred steps away, the Han army archers finally began to retreat, because if they continued to cover the Hangu Pass, they would inevitably injure the Han army light soldiers who were preparing to seize the city.

The tragic siege battle immediately kicked off.

Teams of Han soldiers were holding sharp blades on their mouths and swarming up the long ladder.

Rolling wood and huge rocks fell from the head like rain. Han army dead soldiers were constantly hit and fell into the city. However, soon, more Han army dead soldiers rushed forward on their bodies in their robes. The fierce battle lasted for less than half a quarter of an hour. When the defenders were closed, they were forced to use the killer weapon of fierce turbulence again.

With a command from Pang Yu, cans of hot turbulent oil were thrown from the city and then shattered one after another.

Then, a series of burning torches were thrown down from the city, and soon, the gate was trapped in the sea of ​​fire. However, this time, the Han army seemed to be ruthless. They did not retreat immediately because of the invasion of fierce tinder oil. On the contrary, more Han army soldiers rushed up with sacks on their backs and quickly filled the fire with the sand in the sacks.

A cold murderous intent appeared on Pang Yu's lips. It seemed that the Han army was angry by the sneak attack last night, or Liu Bang's old man was forced to attack at any cost because the military rations were burned. However, it would be too arrogant to try to capture Hangu Pass with just a few simple long ladders?

Do you really think that the more than 4,000 Chu troops in the pass are arranged?

"Prepare for hot turbulence..." Pang Yu raised his sword again. Just as he was about to give an order, the captain behind him suddenly pointed to the cliff in front of his right and shouted in a low voice, "Look at General, beacon fire is on the cliff on the right!"

"Hmm?!" When Pang Yu looked up quickly, he saw that there was a dazzling beacon fire on the cliff on the right.

Last night, after the Chu army used the mountain vine-fried cliff to sneak attack the Han army's baggage camp for a smooth road, Pang Yu was cautious and adopted the same strategy to prevent the Han army. He also sent elite troops to the pass along the cliff and set up posts on the left and right cliffs. Once the Han army was found attacking, he immediately raised a fire to warn him!

Pang Yu has tasted the sweetness of a cliff attack, but how could he give the Han army such an opportunity?

At that moment, Pang Yu ordered the deputy general to guard the city, and he led five hundred archers to the cliff to the right, and at the same time ordered his personal soldiers to push out the only forty bed crossbows in Guanzhong.

In less than half a quarter of an hour, more than 500 archers and more than 40 crossbows were already waiting under the cliff on the right. If there were really elite Han troops following the vines down the cliff, there would be only two results, either they were nailed to death by Chu army archers and crossbows on the cliff, or they would let go in advance and fall down and die!

After only a moment, Pang Yu ordered five hundred archers to shoot a wave of rockets.

With the glimmer of the rocket, Pang Yu and more than 500 Chu archers clearly saw that hundreds of Han army soldiers were climbing down the cliff along the mountain vines. The Han army obviously did not expect that the Chu army under the cliff was prepared. At that time, more than a dozen Han army soldiers were shot by the rocket and fell down from the cliff more than ten feet high.

"Looking for death!" Pang Yu sneered, and immediately drew his sword and raised it into the air.

More than five hundred archers raised their horn bows again, and more than forty personal soldiers also raised their wooden hammers.

Suddenly, the horizontal knife in Pang Yu's hand fell down fiercely, and more than 500 archers loosened the right hand that was holding the bowstring tightly. Almost at the same time, more than 40 personal soldiers also indifferently smashed the wooden hammers in their hands. Forty crossbows raised at the front immediately roared. The next moment, more than 500 arrows and more than 200 giant arrows were already roaring towards the cliff.

There were endless screams and wailing sounds on the cliff, and dozens of Han soldiers fell down from the cliff. At such a high height, they could not be shot, but they would fall into meat paste.

On the cliff to the left.

Zhou Guanfu took two steps in front and pulled out a heavy wolf-toothed arrow with his own name from the throat of a Chu soldier.

The Chu Bing was not dead yet, and he struggled to use the torch in his hand to ignite the beacon tower not far ahead. How could Zhou Guanfu let him do what he wanted? He then stepped on the Chu Bing's neck hard, and with a click, Chu Bing's neck bone was shattered. Even the miracle doctor Bing Que would definitely not be able to save him again.

Not far behind Zhou Guan, two other Chu soldiers were lying on the throat, both of whom were arrows!

Obviously, Pang Yu also set up a beacon tower to warn on the cliff on the left. It was a pity that he was shot and killed by Zhou Guanfu before the three Chu soldiers lit the beacon to warn.

Zhou Guanfu took two steps forward and stepped onto the edge of the cliff.

Standing on a cliff more than ten feet high and looking down, I saw that outside Hangu Pass was boiling and full of light troops, a group of Han army soldiers rushed over like a tide, and then shattered like waves hitting a reef. Then, new waves rushed forward and hit the hard reef of Hangu Pass again...

At this moment, under the cliff opposite, there was already a melee.

Seeing that the Chu army was ready, under the shooting of archers and crossbows, teams of Han soldiers fell off the cliff one after another. Zhou Guanfu's mouth twitched violently twice. He immediately inserted his two iron halberds behind him, and then waved his hands suddenly at the hundreds of elite soldiers behind him, shouting loudly: "Go down!"

In an instant, vines had already hung down from the cliff.

Zhou Guanfu pulled one of the vines tied to a huge rock, but it didn't move at all. Without hesitation, he suddenly turned around and slid down the extremely tough century-old vines.

"Shoot, shoot arrows!" Pang Yu raised his sword again and again and again and fell down again and again.

More than 500 Chu army archers pulled their bows, fired arrows, pulled them again, and shot them again. Although the Han army soldiers hanging on the cliff tried desperately to block, they were still shot by arrows. Then they screamed and fell from a height of several or even ten feet. In less than a meal, no less than two hundred corpses were lying under the cliff!

Pang Yu took the time to look back at the cliff on the left and found that there was no beacon on it.

Pang Yu breathed a sigh of relief and was about to command the archers to continue blocking the cliff on the right, a violent sound of gold and iron clashing sound suddenly sounded under the cliff on the left. Pang Yu suddenly felt a sudden heart. It seems that the cliff on the left was still attacked, and the beacon tower on the cliff did not warn?!

The next moment, a huge fire suddenly rose under the cliff on the left!

Immediately afterwards, a tide-like killing sound came from the cliff on the left, and then a team of Han soldiers rushed out of the fire. As soon as these Han soldiers appeared, they rushed straight from behind and closed the door, and then quickly divided into two teams, one team snatched the door to close, and the other team followed the horse road to the juncture!

Pang Yu's heart suddenly became cold, and Hangu Pass... I didn't want to lose it anyway!
Chapter completed!
