Chapter 653: Breaking through Hangu Pass (3K8)

"Fuck!"

"Quick, catch up!"

The guards who finally came to their senses were horrified and waved their weapons, trying to chase Su Yao and the others.

However, just after they took a few steps, they were stopped by Li Yi, Zhang Long and others who rushed in.

These surrendered generals from Xiliang were all extremely brave and engaged in a fierce fight with the defenders.

Although they were no match for the armored soldiers, they were far superior to these ordinary guards and soon suppressed the guards and forced them to retreat.

Su Yao ran all the way, and except for knocking to death a few unlucky guys on the road, he did not stop.

However, he did not go to the mechanism to open the door, but went straight to Gu Junhou on the city wall.

As the saying goes, to catch a thief, you must first catch the leader. There was an endless stream of thieves at the city gate because that General Gu was commanding them on the city wall. In order to ensure that the guards could be completely defeated, Su Yao rushed forward alone.

"what?!"

When seeing Su Yao suddenly appear, Gu Junhou was stunned. He paused for a moment and immediately shouted in panic:
"Bold lunatic, hurry up, stop him!"

"Protect, protect the military marquis!"

The guards raised their guns and brandished their swords, rushing forward to intercept them.

But they were no match for Su Yao. Under the pair of golden hammers, they were knocked flying backwards one by one.

"Don't come over here, don't come over here!"

Gu Junhou looked at Su Yao's figure that was like a killing god, and his heart was filled with fear. He kept retreating until he reached the edge of the city wall, his back pressed tightly against the battlements, waving his sword and shouting in despair.

However, Su Yao completely ignored his shouts, knocked his sword away with a hammer, grabbed Gu Junhou's collar and lifted him up.

"Spare your life, spare your life!"

"Don't kill me, I surrender!"

With his body hanging in the air, Gu Junhou desperately begged for mercy, trying to save his life by surrendering.

But it was too late.

Su Yao swung the sword with a little force, and the general who was guarding the city gate for Dong Huang flew down from the top of the city wall.

"boom!"

In full view of the crowd, Gu Junhou's body fell heavily to the ground with a dull sound, and blood gushed out of his mouth and nose, quickly staining the ground red.
Gu Junhou died on the spot with his round eyes wide open.

At this moment, the armored soldiers and ordinary soldiers at the city gate who had just come to their senses and were about to continue fighting with Li Yi, Zhang Long and others for the city gate were all stunned.

Looking at Junhou Gu's face with his eyes open, they could never have imagined that their leader would die so soon.

At this moment, bursts of shouting were heard from the top of the city wall and the doorway.

Su Yao and others lost no time in shouting that the enemy general was dead and that they would not be killed if they surrendered, which almost completely destroyed their morale.

Li Yi, Zhang Long and others took the opportunity to block the gate of the passage and operated the mechanism to open the city.

Su Yao jumped down from the top of the city wall and killed people crazily in the chaos, driving away the demoralized guards and preventing anyone from closing the city gates by manpower.

At the same time.

Just when Su Yao was attacking the city gate tower.

The deafening war drums on the city walls were also a warning to Kang Junhou and others.

Taking advantage of the chaos here, Kang Junhou and others hiding in the city immediately made efforts at the same time, setting fires everywhere, inciting rebellion, and spreading the news that Su Yao's army had entered the city.

Suddenly, the area near the gate of Hangu Pass fell into chaos, with billowing smoke, splattered blood, and desperate shouts interweaving in the sky above Hangu Pass.

Of course, Lu Bu and others outside the city would not miss such an opportunity.

As soon as they saw signs of the city gate opening, they ran as fast as they could and rushed over without stopping.

At the same time, Dong Huang's Cavalry Commander Zhang Jun and Pass Commander Yang Kang also arrived at the scene with reinforcements.

As a result, the scene at the scene scared them so much that they were almost shocked.

"what?!"

"Old Gu is dead? The city gate is lost?!"

"Quick, we must take back the city gate immediately!"

Cavalry Commander Zhang Jun was shouting and demanding that Yang Kang cooperate with him.

At this time, he no longer cared about the unpleasantness that had just occurred between the two of them.

The enemy's cavalry is just outside the city. If we fail to recapture the city tower and seal the city gate as soon as possible, once the enemy rushes into the city, the consequences will be disastrous.

Fortunately, the number of enemy soldiers does not seem to be large. Now all they need to do is put aside their past grudges and work together.

It should not be a problem to wipe out these sneak attackers before the enemy cavalry arrives.

As he spoke, Zhang Jun had already taken action. He commanded his personal soldiers, waving small flags and weapons, to gather those armored soldiers who had lost their fighting spirit, preparing to regroup and fight Su Yao again.

Alone and facing their overwhelming attack, Zhang Jun didn't believe that the guy could hold on.

However, Zhang Jun never expected that before Su Yao could even make a move, he was hit from behind.

Guan Duwei Yang Kang actually switched sides!
"Bros!"

Yang Kang shouted:
"The traitor Dong committed treasonous acts, bullied the emperor, and held the emperor hostage. The Marquis of Guanjun led the righteous army to save the people from danger and wanted to welcome the emperor back to the capital. As subjects of the Han Dynasty, how can we help the traitor and become his accomplices?!"

Yang Kang's passionate voice echoed above the chaotic city walls. His eyes were wide open and his gaze was firm, like a true warrior.

This sudden change shocked Zhang Jun and the guards.

They never expected that the usually taciturn Captain Guan would turn against them at such a critical moment.

"Yang Kang, are you crazy?!"

Zhang Jun's eyes were wide open as he pointed at Yang Kang, his voice full of disbelief and anger.

"I'm not crazy, I'm very sober!"

Yang Kang met Zhang Jun's gaze without fear and said loudly:
"Dong Zhuo is causing chaos in the government, and the whole world is trying to punish him. As a minister of the Han Dynasty, how can I sit back and do nothing?"

"Today, I will lend a helping hand to the Marquis of Guanjun, capture this Hangu Pass, and clear out all these ghosts and monsters like you!"

"You, you, you shameless bastard!!!"

Yang Kang's righteous words made Zhang Jun's nose crooked with anger. He really wanted to refute the nonsense of this bastard, but the situation did not allow him to say any more nonsense.

Not to mention that after Yang Kang rebelled, he immediately led a large number of soldiers under his command to raise the banner of rebellion and suddenly launched a siege on his troops.

Su Yao, on the other side, saw the two people fighting, and took the opportunity to attack, swinging the golden hammer left and right and rushing towards them.

The soldiers and guards that Zhang Jun had relied on were so frightened by this scene that they dared not fight anymore.

Some of them ran away quietly, while the others simply made up their minds and followed Yang Kang's example, shouting "Kill the thief Dong" and then turned against him to kill him.

"asshole!"

"Shameless!"

"You traitors, you will all die a miserable death!!!"

Zhang Jun watched as the troops that were supposed to fight side by side against Su Yao turned against each other in droves, and shouted in despair and anger. However, this was of no use.

Soon, in the chaos, he was smashed on the head by Su Yao's hammer, and his body flew high into the air, with yellow and white filth scattered all over the ground.

"The enemy general is dead, the whole army is charging!"

Amid Su Yao's shouts, Dong Huang finally arrived.

He looked at the chaos in confusion, his eyes wide open, as if he couldn't accept the reality.

At this moment, from the wide-open city gate, the rumbling sound of iron hooves came from far away.

Lu Bu, Zhao Yun, Jia Xu, Li Lei and others led the cavalry and rushed over.

"How can this be?"

"This isn't true, this isn't true!"

“This is impossible!!!”

Dong Huang cried out in despair.

I have five thousand troops!
How could he be beaten like this?

It's impossible that we can't hold on for a day, right?

"Correct!"

"Soldiers, quickly tell the soldiers to attack!"

"Call everyone to the door and hold them off!"

"Drive all these traitors out of the city!"

Dong Huang was quick-witted and even in despair he still tried to grasp the last glimmer of hope.

However, reality was like an icy blade, ruthlessly cutting his hopes.

The mere one hundred soldiers who rushed over in a hurry and the defenders whose legs were trembling because the city was broken were no match for Su Yao and his men.

Those armored soldiers were indeed very powerful against the lightly armored infantry who did not have a significant advantage in numbers.

But facing those elite cavalry who were also wearing iron armor, riding tall horses, and wielding huge weapons, they had no advantage.

Not to mention, these cavalrymen came in a surge, and they had an absolute advantage in numbers.

In just a moment, Lu Bu, Zhao Yun and others brandished their weapons and their iron hooves rolled past.

The soldiers that Dong Huang urgently mobilized were trampled to pieces, leaving behind a pile of broken bodies.

"Do not!!!"

In Hangu Pass, iron hooves roared and dust flew.

Dong Huang looked at the bloody and desperate scene in front of him, and he was struck by lightning and stood there in a daze.

He never dreamed that the Hangu Pass, which he was so proud of, would be breached so easily by Su Yao.

What was even more unacceptable to him was that the soldiers under his command were so vulnerable that they fell one after another under Su Yao's iron hoof.

"Why? Why is this happening?" Dong Huang muttered to himself, his eyes empty and confused.

He had clearly followed Dong Zhuo's instructions to strengthen the defense of Hangu Pass and deployed sufficient garrisons and soldiers.

He had clearly made all the necessary preparations and thought he could hold the pass and wait for the return of Dong Zhuo's army.

However, reality slapped him hard in the face.

Su Yao's bravery and wisdom far exceeded his imagination, and his army was like a tiger descending from the mountain, unstoppable.

All my efforts were like a clown's and had no effect.

Looking at the soldiers running around and kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, Dong Huang felt the breath of death.

He was Dong Zhuo's nephew. Others could surrender to save their lives if they couldn't win, but he had no way out.

Suddenly, a resolute look appeared on his face, and then.
He chose to run away!
"Retreat, retreat quickly!"

"Everyone, cover my retreat!"

"As long as you let me return to Chang'an, Lord Dong will reward you handsomely!"

While shouting the order to retreat, Dong Huang desperately fled out of the pass under the cover of his personal soldiers.

He knew very well that staying in Hangu Pass would lead to death, and the only way to save his life was to escape from here as soon as possible.

However, he didn't know that Su Yao had already locked onto him, waiting for the moment for him to run away.

Just as Dong Huang jumped onto his horse and rushed out of the crowd under the protection of his personal soldiers.

Suddenly, Su Yao jumped down from the house beside him like a roc spreading its wings.

It turned out that after Lu Bu and others entered the city, Su Yao took advantage of the chaos to jump onto the house and found his way to the route that Dong Huang had to take to escape.

Dong Huang's heart tightened and he felt a chill running down his spine.

He turned around suddenly and saw Su Yao, a dark shadow, rushing towards him like a god sent from heaven.

This scared him. Before Dong Huang could even see who was coming, he instinctively swung his sword forward to block.

However, how can a mere sword stop a hammer?

After a sharp sound of metal collision, the long sword in Dong Huang's hand was instantly knocked away by Su Yao's golden hammer and broke into two pieces.

However, Su Yao's attack did not stop because of this. After breaking his knife, the hammer's power did not decrease at all and it hit Dong Huang's breastplate directly.

"boom!"

With a dull thud, Dong Huang's body was blown away by the huge force like a kite with a broken string, and fell heavily to the ground.

A big hole was smashed in his chest armor, and he had difficulty breathing. A large mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth. His face instantly turned as pale as paper, and his eyes were filled with unbelievable despair.

"You, I, I am Mr. Dong's nephew."

"If you kill me."

——DUANG!

Before Dong Huang finished speaking, Su Yao picked up the golden hammer in his hand and hit him hard on the head with it with a sharp sound.

Dong Zhuo's nephew, the captain of the central army guarding Hangu Pass, was killed cleanly and neatly by Su Yao in front of a group of trembling onlookers.

"Dong Huang is dead!"

"Our army is defeated!"

"Surrender, we surrender!"

Seeing Su Yao's captivating gaze, Dong Huang's personal soldiers knelt on the ground, fearing that they would be hit by the hammer as well.

Under their influence, the guards who were originally hesitating whether to surrender, after seeing that even high-ranking officials like Dong Huang could not escape death, dropped their weapons and chose to surrender to Su Yao's army.

In response to this, Su Yao accepted all the surrenders and immediately ordered his soldiers to accept the surrendered soldiers, reorganize the city defenses, and at the same time reorganize and rest in preparation for further attacks.

With the decisive surrender of these people, Su Yao's attack and defense of Hangu Pass came to a successful conclusion and ended in a great victory.
