Chapter 245: Dragnet
Chapter 245 Dragnet
Chapter 244: Dragnet
After seeing Xiang Yu, the remaining golden scarf warriors all shouted excitedly as if they had seen the savior.
“General Xiang, it’s General Xiang Yu who’s here!”
“Great, General Xiang is here to save us!”
“God of War, God of War…”
Soldiers revere the strong, and Xiang Yu is the strongest among the Yellow Turbans. Naturally, he is also the God of War in the hearts of the Yellow Turban warriors.
The remaining Yellow Turban warriors all looked at Xiang Yu with reverence. They did not even think that Xiang Yu was trapped and died in Hulao Pass like them.
Xiang Yu charged left and right in the Han army, and no one could stop his sharp edge. After causing chaos in the Han army's formation, Xiang Yu shook his big halberd, shaking off the blood stains on it, and then rode his horse slowly to the front of the yellow turban warriors.
Xiang Yu had all his yellow scarf warriors behind him. He pointed his halberd at the thousands of troops in the distance, a bloodthirsty smile appeared on his lips, and shouted: "You bastards, who comes up first to die?"
One man threatens a thousand troops, how arrogant!
Thousands of Han troops were photographed by Xiang Yu's force, but no one dared to step forward. A trace of disdain flashed at the corner of Xiang Yu's mouth, and his eyes were coldly swept, and some people were frightened to the point of peeing.
Seeing that Xiang Yu didn't understand, the Han army in front of him must be the original defenders of Hulao Pass. There was absolutely no way that the Yanmen army that he had thrown away didn't even have this courage.
Xiang Yu glanced at the soldiers behind him and asked, "Can the yellow scarf warriors still fight?"
“War.”
“War.”
“War.”
The cry for battle was endless, and although the Yellow Turban warriors suffered heavy injuries, they were still full of fighting spirit.
Xiang Yu showed a smile on his lips and shouted: "Follow me, let's fight out together!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
Yellow turban warriors do not hesitate to fight to the death, but want to die in battle.
Xiang Yu waved his halberd and rode his horse into the Han army again, but this time he was not alone. More than two hundred yellow turban warriors followed closely behind him.
After Xiang Yu led the two hundred yellow scarf warriors to break through the blockade of the Han army, he did not immediately fight towards the front gate of Hulao Pass. Instead, he led his men to continue fighting and rescue other trapped golden warriors.
From the moment he heard the order to withdraw his troops, Xiang Yu regretted not listening to Jia Guo this time. As a result, he was tricked by Huang Chao. It was too difficult to break out of Hulao Pass by one person.
The gate of Hulao Pass weighs a thousand kilograms. Even if Xiang Yu can push the gate open by himself, what if the Yanmen Army launches a sneak attack while he is pushing the gate?
So if he wants to break out, Xiang Yu must need helpers, and the thousands of yellow scarf warriors trapped in Hulao Pass are Xiang Yu's only hope of leaving Hulao Pass.
Of the three routes on the left and right divided by Qin Hao, the remnants of the Yellow Turbans on the left and right routes have basically been cleared away. Only in the middle route, due to Xiang Yu's blocking in front, did the Han army's offensive slow down, and there were still many Yellow Turban remnants.
Xiang Yu fought all the way and rescued more than ten remaining soldiers, ranging from dozens to four to five hundred. Gradually, nearly three thousand Yellow Turban warriors gathered around Xiang Yu.
Although these three thousand golden warriors were injured and disabled, they were all die-hard Yellow Turban loyalists with extremely firm will to fight and were not afraid of death. With three thousand dead men in hand, Xiang Yu finally had the confidence to rush out. However, what Xiang Yu didn't know was that Qin Hao had laid a dragnet ahead and was waiting for him.
While Xiang Yu was rescuing the remnants of the Yellow Turbans scattered throughout Hulao Pass, Qin Hao was also not idle.
While Qin Hao mobilized troops to completely control Hulao Pass, he also deployed heavy troops to intercept Xiang Yu on his way to break out.
This time Qin Hao not only mobilized all the troops and horses and asked the powerful generals to come to pursue and intercept him, but he also personally arranged the front door to wait for Xiang Yu's arrival.
With Xiang Yu's character, let alone not knowing, even if he knew, he would definitely not go in, because now he has no choice but to force a breakthrough.
On the tower of Hulao Pass, Qin Hao and Qin Zheng stood side by side. They were shocked to see that the situation in Hulao Pass, which had been stable, was actually caused by Xiang Yu alone.
"This Xiang Yu must not be kept!" Qin Zheng said solemnly, with fear in his eyes.
Only Qin Wen, Qin Hao and Qin Zheng know the true core secret of the Qin family. The Xiang family and the Qin family will fight to the death, so Qin Zheng will naturally not let go of his enemy Xiang Yu.
“It’s difficult, I don’t know how many people have to die to capture Xiang Yu!” Qin Hao sighed.
Until now, the war has been completely a one-man show by Xiang Yu. If it weren't for Xiang Yu, this battle would have ended long ago.
The total number of Han troops who died under Xiang Yu's halberd alone was estimated to be close to two thousand, but Xiang Yu seemed to be tireless and continued to kill.
“Young Master, Xiang Yu has rescued nearly three thousand Yellow Turban remnants and is heading here to kill them!”
Qin Hao nodded silently, thought for a moment and then gave orders to his left and right, saying: "Send the order and ask Yue Fei, Qin Qiong, Wei Chigong and Shan Xiongxin to surround and kill the remaining Yellow Turban army at the same time."
“Tell them not to confront Xiang Yu head-on. It doesn’t matter if Xiang Yu runs away, but they must kill everyone around Xiang Yu.” Qin Hao ordered with a serious face.
It is not easy for Yanmen soldiers to kill Xiang Yu, but it is relatively easy to kill the Yellow Turban warriors.
Four generals and 20,000 Yanmen cavalry from all directions attacked Xiang Yu from four directions at the same time. Even if Xiang Yu could go out alone by then, if all the soldiers around him were dead, he still would not be able to open the front gate of Hulao Guan.
“Chun Yu Qiong, Colonel.”
Qin Hao turned around and asked a captain behind him: "How are the preparations in front of the city gate?"
Chunyu Qiong stood up and said loudly: "General Qi, 20,000 soldiers have been deployed. Even if Xiang Yu really has the ability to kill at the front door, I will let him die here!"
Chun Yuqiong hated and feared Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu's heroic appearance like a **** of war left a shadow in his heart. Now that Xiang Yu was abandoned, Chun Yuqiong would naturally not miss the opportunity to beat up the drowned dog.
The original garrison of Hulao Pass totaled 70,000. After the Yellow Turban attack, fighting, and massacre, the original garrison totaled less than 30,000. Even four of the five major captains were killed in the battle, leaving only Chunyu Qiong.
The 70,000 defenders were actually crippled by 30,000 Yellow Turban warriors. This record was simply appalling, which shows how powerful the Yellow Turban warriors were!
As for Chunyu Qiong, Qin Hao also heard some of his achievements from the defenders and knew that he was guilty of dereliction of duty, but Qin Hao could not touch him.
From the fact that Chun Yuqiong and other five generals assisted Zhang Rang in capturing Lu Zhi, we can see that they are all Liu Hong's people. If Qin Hao touches Chun Yuqiong, there is no guarantee that Liu Hong will not suspect Qin Hao of robbing military power.
Shen Moreover, Chun Yuqiong was also very aware of current affairs. When he saw Qin Hao, he acted like Qin Hao was taking the lead, which made Qin Hao feel embarrassed to punish him.
So Qin Hao asked him to perform meritorious service and set up the last insurance in front of the city gate to kill Xiang Yu.
