Invincible Three Kingdoms System

Chapter 129 The Power of Thunderbolt
Inside the Hulao pass, in the large tent of the Chinese army, Dong Zhuo looked angrily at all the civil and military men standing under the tent, and shouted: "Everyone is useless, is it possible that except for my son Fengxian, everyone else is a dead man?"

Lu Bu's complexion was obviously not good, he took a step forward and said, "Father, please calm down, the child is exhausted from fighting for a long time, wait for some wine and food to regain strength, and then go out to fight!"

Dong Zhuo waved his hand and said: "Today's defeat is not due to the crime of serving first, you alone, how can all the feudal princes of the Guandong join forces?"

"Grand Master, please calm down, we are willing to act like dogs and horses!" Fan Chou and Zhang Ji bowed.

"Hmph, rely on you? The old man is already dead!" Dong Zhuo said angrily, "Wen You, what good strategy do you have to deal with the army outside the pass?"

Li Ru frowned, twisted his goat's mustache, and walked back and forth a few steps, saying: "Now that Luhou is newly defeated, the soldiers have no fighting spirit. Even if we fight again, the casualties will only increase. Why don't you lead the troops back to Luoyang , moved the emperor to Chang'an, and responded to nursery rhymes?"

Dong Zhuo snorted, and asked, "Are there any nursery rhymes circulating in the market? Why doesn't this old man know? Wen You will tell you in detail."

Li Ru nodded, and said: "Today's market nursery rhyme says: There is a Han in the west, and a Han in the east; the deer will walk into Chang'an, and there will be no difficulties."

"Oh? If so? What do you mean?" Dong Zhuo asked anxiously.

Li Ru replied slowly: "Confucianism thinks about this statement carefully, and thinks that 'a Han in the west' refers to Gao Zu who was prosperous in Chang'an, the western capital, and passed on the twelve emperors; 'a Han in the east' refers to Guangwu who was prosperous in Luoyang, the eastern capital. , Today, it is also passed on to the Twelve Emperors. The fate of the heavens will return, and if the Grand Master moves back to Chang'an, there will be no danger."

After Dong Zhuo heard this, he clapped his hands for joy, laughed and said, "If Wenyou hadn't explained it, how could we have understood the secret? The generals obeyed the order and prepared to send troops back to Luoyang."

The next day, Lü Bu assembled his army and was about to return to the army. Dong Zhuo called Fan Chou and Zhang Ji to his side and said, "The grand master left you two to guard this Hulao pass. You only need to stick to it for ten days. After ten days, you can abandon it." When Guan came to Chang'an, at that time, my Grand Master reported to the Son of Heaven, and made you two marquises."

Fan Chou and Zhang Ji looked at each other, and they both saw reluctance in each other's eyes, but how could a military order be disobeyed, and with Lu Bu watching over them, if they said no, they might not survive today.

The two had no choice but to accept the order and watched Dong Zhuo's army leave, leaving only the two of them with a team of less than [-] people.

Fortunately, Dong Zhuo was not too heartless, leaving behind a lot of bows and equipment, allowing Fan Chou and Zhang Ji to stick to Hulao Pass.

After the army left, at noon the next day, a messenger came to report: "Report! Two generals, the princes outside the pass will lead the troops to attack the pass again!"

Fan Chou and Zhang Ji were frightened, and hurriedly dispatched their soldiers to climb up the wall of Hulao Pass to investigate the situation of the army.

After climbing the wall, Fan Chou and Zhang Ji were astonished to find that there were hundreds of strange wooden carts in front of the tens of thousands of allied troops!
The two didn't know why, but they didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly ordered the soldiers to bring strong crossbows and arrows, ready to meet the enemy.

"General Zhang, do you know what that is?" Fan Chou asked, pointing to the hundreds of cars.

Zhang Ji shook his head and said: "I really don't know, General Fan, make everyone be vigilant, whenever the enemy advances, shoot them with arrows, after ten days, everything will be fine."

"General Zhang is right." Fan Chou agreed, "Listen to my order, as soon as the enemy approaches the wall, shoot arrows immediately!"

Just when all the soldiers at Hulaoguan were tense and ready to shoot arrows at any time, the alliance army and the hundred vehicles in front of them all stopped.

"General Zhang, do you want to shoot the arrow?" Fan Chou asked.

Zhang Ji frowned, and said uncertainly: "Wait a little longer and see what's going on."

At this moment, Zhao Qian rode his horse out of the army formation, with a golden helmet and red armor, a rouge horse with snow on his crotch, and a cloud-piercing spear in his hand, looking very heroic.

"It's Zhao Qian!" Fan Chou shouted, "Fire the arrow!"

When Fan Chou gave the order, Zhao Qian also waved his hand and ordered: "All drivers, get ready, send stones!"

With an order, two people beside the thunderbolt car were responsible for pulling the mechanism, instantly throwing stones into the air, and heading straight for the wall!

In addition, there were four people who were responsible for filling the rocks. The thunderbolt carts threw boulders weighing more than a hundred catties towards the city wall one after another.

Fan Chou and Zhang Ji were startled. They saw the huge boulder flying down from the sky, and the rumble of thundering cars beside the wall completely lost their square inch.

It was Zhang Ji who reacted quickly. Seeing the soldiers on the wall wailing endlessly, their brains cracked by the boulder, he immediately shouted: "The archers withdraw, the shieldmen defend, and carry the wounded away!"

Even though it was dispatched, how can a mere shield be able to resist the falling of a huge boulder weighing more than a hundred catties?

The soldiers were knocked to the ground by the boulder one after another, spitting blood, even if their arms and legs were not broken, they would have suffered serious internal injuries, and their internal organs were even more serious.

After several attacks, none of the soldiers on the closed wall dared to show their faces again. They all hid behind the wall to avoid being hit by boulders, including Fan Chou and Zhang Ji.

After a while, Zhang Ji suddenly felt that no boulder was coming, so he stood up boldly and looked outside the wall.

It didn't matter what he saw, Zhang Ji was frightened to death. It turned out that at some point, the alliance army had already started to attack the key point and reached the underground of the pass wall.

Zhang Ji was shocked, and quickly shouted: "Where is the archer? Let the arrows go, let the arrows go!"

The archers who had just withdrawn heard the order, and immediately rushed to the top of the wall, bent their bows and drew arrows, and shot towards the Union army below.

Zhao Qian quickly waved the flag to signal the princes to suspend the research, and then ordered the thunderbolt chariot to continue throwing stones.

The archers on the top of the wall were relieved to see the allied troops retreating a little bit, when a thunderclap sounded in their ears again. To them, it sounded like a call from the underworld.

This time, they didn't wait for Zhang Ji's order at all, and the archers ran away one after another, but there were still many slow-moving soldiers who died under the boulder.

Fan Chou and Zhang Ji hid behind a bunker, but there was nothing they could do. Fan Chou sighed: "If this goes on, let alone ten days, even one day, it won't last."

Zhang Ji nodded and said: "What General Fan said is very true. The Grand Master's army has only left for two days. It seems that the Hulao Pass cannot be guarded."

"If you can't keep it, you have to keep it. As long as you stick to it for ten days, we can be named Liehou!" Fan Chou said with his eyes shining.

At this moment, a soldier not far away was crushed to death by a huge stone, and his brains were splashed all over another soldier. The soldier yelled, "I will stop fighting, I want to surrender, and Dong Zhuo himself will flee to Chang'an!" , but left us as scapegoats, I quit!"

Fan Chou was shocked when he heard that, if the soldier mutinied, it would be over, so he desperately drew his sword and came to the soldier, and stabbed him to the ground with one sword!
