Summoning the world to be one

Chapter 615

Chapter 616: Soldier trapped in Tiger Prison Pass

In the fourth year of Tiantong, in May, the two armies of Deng and Qin fought fiercely at Hulao Pass for more than two months. Although Deng Jun had the advantage in strength, he was still unable to shake Hulao Pass by half a point, but the continuous offensive also caused the Qin army to lose a lot. In addition, the [-] elite Zhao troops led by Li Rubing were blocked in Xingyang City and could not assist Hulao Pass. In order to preserve their strength, Ying Huai followed Shen Zhi's suggestion to abandon Henan County and the whole army retreated to Hangu Pass.

And in order to minimize the loss, Yinghuai ordered Luoyang guard Yingtang to move all the food and materials near Luoyang City and the people in Luoyang City to Guanzhong as much as possible. Prison, buy ten days for Ying Tang.

But after ten days, it is not easy for Qin Jun to retreat. When Qin Jun retreats, Deng Jun will definitely pursue him from behind. One of the generals was selected to lead a small number of soldiers and horses after the Hulao was shut down.

However, it can be said that the one who leaves the heir is close to death, so Ying Huai didn't want to force it, but just asked if anyone was willing to stay.

After Ying Huai finished speaking, everyone fell into silence. After a long time, the general Chen Guang raised his head, showing decisive eyes, and said to Ying Huai: "General, the general is willing to leave behind!"

When everyone heard the words, they all looked at Chen Guang, and couldn't help feeling admiration for Chen Guang in their hearts. Everyone present knew what the result would be if they stayed behind. They couldn't help not admiring them, but besides admiring them, everyone also breathed a sigh of relief, because since Chen Guang took over the task after the end, it meant that they didn't need to stay.

Ying Huai looked at Chen Guang with a look of relief, and praised: "Okay! General Chen is indeed a loyal minister and good general of my Great Qin. If that is the case, I will leave it to you. After ten days, I will lead the army to leave Hulao Pass. When you return to Hangu Pass, Jie Shiben will leave you with [-] soldiers and horses, and all you have to do is use these [-] soldiers and horses to block Deng's army for two days. You decide!" The implication is that as long as Deng Jun can be blocked for two days, then even if Chen Guang wants to survive, he can surrender in Kaesong.

In the following days, Deng Jun continued to launch an offensive against Hulaoguan. In order not to let Deng Jun notice anything, Qin Jun's resistance did not weaken at all. At the last moment, Ying Huai did not mind sacrificing more troops. .

Ten days later, that is, the fourth year of Tiantong, on May [-]th, when Ying Tang sent someone to send the news, Ying Huai began to retreat. At night, when everyone was preparing for the withdrawal, Ying Huai Huai alone brought Chen Guang over.

When the two were alone, Ying Huai looked at Chen Guang and hesitated to say anything. This is his direct descendant. If he had no choice, Ying Huai really didn't want to keep him. After all, after the Hulao was shut down, It sounds good to say that a narrow escape is a life, and it sounds ugly that there is no doubt about death, but for the sake of the overall situation, Ying Huai had to do this.

"General, what do you want to say to the young general?" Seeing that Ying Huai hesitated to speak, Chen Guang obviously had something to say to himself, but he couldn't help but ask.

"Alas..." Ying Huai sighed and said, "Chen Guang, you have been with me for many years. If it is not forced, I really don't want you to stay. What is Hulaoguan like now? Even if I don’t say anything about this situation, you must be very clear about it. If you leave the queen, it can be said that you are close to death. If, if it is really impossible, you can open the city and surrender, and I will not blame you!”

"Hehe!" Chen Guang smiled, and said, "General, what are you talking about? The last general stayed here voluntarily, and was not forced by the general. Don't worry, general, the last general is deeply favored by the Great Qin, and he will serve the country loyally. The last general is still alive, and Deng Jun will never be allowed to cross the Hulao Pass, and the last general will live and die with Hulao Pass!"

Chen Guang was not that stupid. He really listened to Ying Huai's words and surrendered in Kaesong when things couldn't be done. Even if Ying Huai really didn't blame himself, what about the Chang'an court?What about Emperor Qin?You must know that my parents, wife, children, and clan members are all in Chang'an City. If I really open the city and surrender, I can indeed save my life, but the family members and clan members who stay in Chang'an City will definitely be killed by the court. The way the country treats traitors has always been merciless. No matter what hidden secrets you have, and no matter what promises anyone has made to you, betrayal is betrayal, and there is no emotion at all.

Ying Huai looked at Chen Guang and said, "I don't know what other wish you have, I can help you fulfill it, but it doesn't matter, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do my best."

Chen Guang said: "Since the day when the general was in the army, he has been ready to die on the battlefield. The soldier's horse leather shroud is the highest honor. This is the greatest wish of the general. Others are not worth mentioning, but the general will have one I want to ask the general!"

"What's the matter? But it's okay to say!" Ying Huai said quickly. Ying Huai was full of guilt for keeping Chen Guang in the Hulao after he was shut down. If he could do something for Chen Guang, Ying Huai would feel better.

"If the general can't get out of Hulao, the family members of the general in Chang'an City also ask the general to take care of him for the sake of his loyalty to the country, and don't make their life difficult. !” Chen Guang said.

Ying Huai nodded and said, "Don't worry, General Chen. From now on, your parents will be my Ying Huai's parents, your children will be my Ying Huai's children, and your brother will be my Ying Huai brothers. With Yinghuai in one day, they can live in peace!"

"So, don't worry, general, it's getting late, general, please leave early, so as not to have long nights and dreams!" Chen Guang said, clasping his hands.

Ying Huai looked at Chen Guang again, held Chen Guang's hand tightly, and said, "General Chen, take care!"

"Take care, general!" Chen Guang nodded and said.

Ying Huai left and led [-] elite troops to leave, leaving behind Chen Guang and [-] elite soldiers to stay at Hulao Pass. After Ying Huai left, Chen Guang took over the defense of Hulao Pass. Chen Guang knew that Ying Huai The news of leaving must not be hidden for too long. In order to let Deng Jun not know the news so early, Chen Guang gathered all five thousand elite soldiers at the city gate, leaving no soldiers and horses in the city. A large number of battle flags were produced, creating a scene where the main force of the Qin army was still at Hulao Pass.

The next day, Deng Jun attacked the city as usual, and Chen Guang also led his army to resist with all his strength. At first, Deng Jun didn't notice anything, but after the fierce battle at dusk, Deng Jun also retreated.

After returning to the camp, Zhang Liao, the General Shence Guard who was in charge of today's siege, noticed something unusual. The resistance of the Qin army had weakened significantly today, and after fighting for a day today, the soldiers and horses supported by the Qin army were obviously weak. A lot less, this is not normal, there must be a ghost.

Thinking of this, Zhang Liao hurried to the big tent of the Chinese army, saw Xue Rengui, and said, "General, the last general attacked the city today and found something wrong."

"Oh? There's something wrong, General Zhang, but it's okay to say!" Xue Rengui asked quickly when he heard the words. He knew that Zhang Liao was very prudent and cautious, and he would never shoot without a target. Since he thought something was wrong, There must be something wrong.

Zhang Liao said: "At the end of today, the general will be ordered by the general to lead the army to attack the city as usual, but the resistance of the Qin army today is obviously much weaker than usual. In the past, if there was a fierce battle for a long time, the Qin army would definitely have reinforcements ahead." They came to support, but they didn't find it today, so the general thinks that the main force of the Qin army is no longer in Hulao?"

Hearing this, Xue Rengui carefully analyzed what Zhang Liao said, and felt that what Zhang Liao said was very likely. Otherwise, how could he explain why the strength of the Qin army had dropped so much overnight, so he said: "What General Zhang said It makes sense, from this point of view, the main force of Yinghuai must no longer be at Hulaoguan, but to confuse our army, deliberately leaving a part of the army can also buy time for the main force to retreat!"

"But where can Ying Huai go after leaving Hulao Pass?" Zhang Liao said.

"Do you still need to think about it, it must be from Hangu Pass!" Xue Rengui said with certainty.

When Zhang Liao heard this, he suddenly realized, and said: "Yes, the biggest obstacle for our army to enter Guanzhong from the Central Plains is Hulao Pass and Hangu Pass. Since Yinghuai gave up Hulao Pass, it must have gone to Hangu Pass. off!"

"Hehe, I didn't expect Yinghuai to be so courageous!" Xue Rengui smiled and said, "In fact, he should have done this a long time ago, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that Henan County can't hold it at all. General, at the beginning of the war, all the troops were stationed at Hangu Pass, and they fought fiercely at Hulao Pass for two months, wasting their troops in vain."

"Then General, what should we do now?" Zhang Liao asked.

Xue Rengui said: "What else can we do? Naturally, Hulao Pass must be taken down as soon as possible. Since Ying Huai withdrew with the main force, the number of soldiers and horses in Hulao Pass will be no more than a few thousand at most. If we can't take this Hulaoguan, then there is no need to fight this battle, and order the generals to discuss the matter!"

Soon, all the generals who received the order came to the big tent of the Chinese army.

After everyone arrived, Xue Rengui didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "Everyone, according to reliable information, Yinghuai led the main force to withdraw from Hulao Pass last night and retreated to Hangu Pass. Now there are only thousands of people left in Hulao Pass." It's just Qin Jun's abandoned son!"

"General, is the news reliable?" Xun You, a division of Yingyang Guards, asked.

Xue Rengui nodded and said, "It's almost the same!"

"Then what are you waiting for, let's attack the city directly. Since Yinghuai has given up on Hulao, we must take it as soon as possible, so as not to have long nights and dreams!" said General Wang Yanzhang of Yingyangwei.

"That's right, General Wang is right. The opportunity is not lost. The time will never come. Tomorrow, the whole army will launch a continuous offensive against Hulao Pass. Before sunset tomorrow, Hulao Pass must be captured!" Xue Rengui said.

"Here!" Everyone responded.

In the fourth year of Tiantong, on May [-]th, Deng Jun launched a general attack on Hulao Pass. At first, Chen Guang thought that Deng Jun's offensive was as usual, but the more he fought, he found that Deng Jun's offensive became more and more serious. Meng, at this moment, Chen Guang knew that the news of Yinghuai's evacuation from Hulao Pass must have been known to Deng Jun, otherwise Deng Jun would not have launched such a swift and violent offensive.

"I thought I could keep it a secret for a few days, but I didn't expect it to be exposed so soon. It seems that today's Hulao Pass cannot be guarded. Anyway, people are mortal, and if we can die for Daqin, I, Chen Guang What a blessing, I will live and die with Hulao Pass today!" Chen Guang murmured as he watched Deng Jun swarming towards Hulao Pass like ants from the city.

Deng Jun's offensive wave after wave, after paying nearly [-] casualties, finally knocked on the gate of Hulao Pass before sunset. After Deng Jun broke through the city, Chen Guang neither chose to surrender nor to break through. , but led the remaining soldiers and horses, and stood at the gate of the city in a bloody battle with Deng Jun.

After fighting fiercely for another hour, Chen Guang finally died in the hands of Gao Siji, and the remaining Qin army was wiped out one by one. After clearing out the Qin army in the city, Xue Rengui led the army into the city!
After entering the city, Xue Rengui came to the general's mansion, and the rest of the generals were basically there.

"Can all the Qin army in the city be wiped out? And where is the general of the Qin army now?" Xue Rengui asked.

Gao Siji went out and said: "General Qi, the remnants of the Qin army in the city have been wiped out by our army. In addition, the leader of the Qin army, Chen Guang, did not retreat in a deadly battle and was beheaded by the last general. !"

Xue Rengui nodded, and said: "This Chen Guang is also considered a man. Although he will be his own master, he also admires him very much. He ordered him to be buried and erected a monument!"

"Here!" Gao Siji responded.

"In addition, since Yinghuai gave up Hulao Pass, Luoyang City will not hold back. There must not be a Qin army in Luoyang City now. Murong will obey the order!" Xue Rengui said.

"The end is here!" Murong Chui said.

"I ordered you to lead your troops to occupy Luoyang City quickly, and at the same time, find out the whereabouts of the Qin army. I will go to Luoyang City to meet you after resting in Hulao Pass for a whole day!" Xue Rengui said.

"Here! General, don't worry, the general will definitely take down Luoyang City!" Murong Chui said.
