The word "side by side" king of the Tang Dynasty

Hulao Pass, also known as Sishui Pass, Chenggao Pass, and Guwei Pass, is the gateway to the east of Luoyang and an important pass. Once you conquer this pass, you can drive straight into the hinterland of the Central Plains!

The Qin Dynasty established passes and the Han Dynasty established counties. All subsequent feudal dynasties set up defenses here. Hulao Pass is connected to Songyue Mountain in the south and the Yellow River in the north. The mountains are intertwined and form a natural danger. It is a must-win place for military strategists of all ages.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, eighteen princes jointly attacked Dong Zhuo. Lu Bu was ordered to guard Hulao Pass. With the natural danger of Hulao Pass, he greatly blocked the attack of the eighteen princes.

Hulao Pass.

Li Ji stood on the wall and looked into the distance.

In the distance, smoke and dust are everywhere, and the rumble of horse hooves is getting closer and closer.

King Wu's banner with white background and gold pattern fluttered in the wind, making a hunting sound.

The banners covered the sky and the sun, and King Wu's army came straight to the pass with great momentum.

Li Ji was extremely uneasy inside, and there was a deep feeling of fear in his eyes.

He sighed:"King Wu's 410,000-strong army crossed the Yellow River and approached Hulao Pass. If this pass is lost, the country of Tang Dynasty will really belong to King Wu.""

"General, why worry?"Beside Li Ji, an official in his forties said:"Your Majesty ordered me to lead an army of 300,000 people to rush to Hulao Pass. With 300,000 people and the natural danger of Hulao Pass, why should we fear King Wu?"

"As long as we stick to the level, don't fight with King Wu, and wait until he runs out of food and supplies, we can easily win!"

This official in his forties is none other than Wang Gui.

Wang Gui, formerly a staff member of Prince Li Jiancheng, was the head of the civil servants and generals of the East Palace along with Wei Zheng, Feng Li, and Xue Wanche.

Feng Li and Xue Wanche were both involved in the Xuanwu Gate Incident. He died under Li Changqing's painted halberd.

Wei Zheng was also thrown into a prison by the angry Li Shimin because of his love for Li Changqing, only to be executed by the Queen of Autumn. More than a dozen of Li Shimin's confidant generals were killed by Li Changqing during the Chang'an Incident. They were all slaughtered.

Therefore, with no generals available, Li Shimin had no choice but to send Wang Gui to lead the army with an army of 300,000 to support Hulao Pass. After listening to Li Ji's dispatch.

Although Wang Gui was an adviser, he also knew a lot about it. The art of war.

Under normal circumstances, more than 300,000 troops guard Hulao Pass, and it would take a million troops to break through.

However, what they faced was Li Changqing's tiger and wolf division, and it was a powerful army with six companies of powerful crossbows.!

Li Ji shook his head and said:"Master Wang has never witnessed with his own eyes how King Wu destroyed the eight formations of our generals with such overwhelming force. If he had seen the power of the six consecutive crossbows, he would never say a word.

It is simply impossible to hold on and exhaust King Wu's food and supplies!

Six consecutive crossbows have unpredictable power. After several rounds of fire, even if the Hulao Pass gate is majestic and majestic, it will be easily destroyed.

For the current plan, the only option is to fight to the death and try our best to annihilate King Wu's remaining military strength so that he will be unable to continue moving south.

It's just that King Wu's army has always been known for its bravery and invincibility. There is little hope in this battle."

Wang Gui was about to say anything more, but he saw at the end of the horizon, a hundred thousand dragon cavalry troops approaching with a shocking force! The murderous aura in the sky gathered together with the billowing smoke, and rolled up from the ground!

Wang Gui only took one look, and his face was horrified, and his heart was filled with fear. infinite horror

"Is this the Dragon Cavalry Army? The army is so mighty and powerful that it is so powerful!"

The one hundred thousand dragon cavalry army is the vanguard army.

Behind the dragon cavalry army are the Modao Army, the Heavy Armor Army, and the Divine Arrow Guard.

After that, there is the one hundred thousand Tiance Army led by Li Xiuning!

The 410,000 army is well-trained. Su, quickly deployed the formation.

The formation was spread out, overwhelming, and was more than twenty miles long!

The entire Hulao Pass was tightly surrounded!

Coming all the way from the south bank of the Yellow River to Hulao Pass, Li Changqing passed five passes in total, ten city.

Wherever the army passed, all the generals surrendered.

He was famous and respected by the people all over the world.

As long as he had a choice, no local generals or officials were willing to help Li Shimin resist King Wu's army.

So along the way , the army was overwhelming, without encountering any obstacles, it marched straight to Hulao Pass

……

The sun was shining high, and the hot sunshine was scorching the earth.

The Hulao was closed, and 318,000 soldiers were waiting in full formation, with panic on their faces.

Li Changqing traveled across the battlefield without any defeat. King Wu's reputation was like thunder to their ears!

Now that they have to fight to the death with Li Changqing, everyone is uneasy.

In the majestic military formation, Li Changqing rode out and stood at Hulao Pass.

Facing the defenders at the gate of the city, he shouted loudly:"I stand with you, King Li Changqing! The false emperor is immoral, he killed his brother and imprisoned his father, and forced the palace to rebel! He is an unfaithful, unfilial, unkind and unjust king! I have raised an army in Beijing to kill him." Destroy the puppet emperor and welcome your father back to the dynasty!

Li Ji, you are the general of Zhenxi. Your emperor ordered you to guard the border and defend Tuyuhun.

You do not think about the emperor's order, abandon the border and assist the puppet emperor. It is a serious crime! Because of your past merits, if you surrender, we will spare your life.

Otherwise, if we fight together, Hulao Pass will be destroyed, and your army will be turned into powder!"

Li Ji stood on the city pass. He gave a long laugh and said:

"Li Ji was determined, how could he surrender because of King Wu's few words? Needless to say, Li Jishi and Hulao Pass coexist today!"

Failed to persuade him to surrender, Li Changqing turned his horse back.

He had already given the opportunity, and he had done his best.

Even if he did not want to personally massacre the soldiers who also belonged to the Tang Dynasty, for the sake of the overall situation, he had to do it even if he couldn't bear it!

Five hundred strong The crossbowmen came forward, carrying a hundred six-company crossbows, and set them up 500 meters away from the city gate of Hulao Pass, and began to install the five-foot-long giant crossbow arrows.

Above the city gate, Li Ji saw this familiar scene and immediately His face was full of fear and horror.

He quickly ordered loudly:"Archers, shoot the enemy's crossbowmen!"

After giving the order, hundreds of archers immediately bent their bows and set arrows on the city gate, shooting at the crossbowmen.

However, the crossbowmen were a full five hundred meters away from the city gate!

And the effective range of these archers , only about a hundred meters.

Even a sharpshooter with amazing arm strength can only reach three hundred meters at most!

With such a range, the crossbowmen cannot be touched at all!

After shooting a round of bows and arrows, the crossbowmen Unscathed!

Your archers can't shoot the crossbowmen, but the six-gun crossbows of the crossbowmen are not only powerful, comparable to the Bartley sniper rifles of later generations, but also have a range of more than 500 meters!

This is The power of the Mohist machine arts is also the reason why Li Changqing evaluates the Six-Continent Powerful Crossbow as the nuclear weapon of this era!

"Click, click!"

The clicking sounds of crossbow arrows being installed came, and Li Ji's face turned completely pale.
