Chapter 148: Break through Hangu Pass in half an hour
"My eyes, my eyes can't see!"
"Help, help, I'm going to suffocate!"
Although Wang Renze patted his mouth and nose with his hands and the poisonous smoke was not sucked into his lungs, he looked very embarrassed, with tears and snot flowing.
On the walls of Hangu Pass, the Zheng army soldiers were already in chaos. The northwest wind blew gently, sending large amounts of thick smoke onto the wall. The Zheng army soldiers had neither experience in anti-virus nor anti-virus equipment. The pervasive poisonous smoke made the Zheng army soldiers unable to see anything, and their ears were filled with shrill screams.
A wolf poison smoke ball in the Northern Song Dynasty weighed only five kilograms, and Chen Ying was fine. The wolf poison smoke barrier he made was at least 20,000 to 30,000 wolf poison smoke balls. The Zheng army soldiers standing in Hangu Pass City had only more than 3,000. On average, each Zheng army soldier had to enjoy the invasion of seven or eight or even ten wolf poison smoke balls.
However, in this situation, Wang Renze was also holding on.
There was no way, he had no way out. Behind Hangu Pass is Xin'an County, but Xin'an County is only more than 100 miles away from Luoyang. They had no danger to defend. When they encountered the Tang army's iron cans that could not be cut in, could not be stabbed through, and could not be shot through the gun, and could not be shot through the arrows in the wild, they would die even more miserable.
Seeing a Zheng army soldier leaving his weapons and stroking his way down the city wall, Wang Renze ordered angrily: "Escape and kill him when he was in battle, shouting loudly, and kill him in fear of the enemy..."
The personal guards who faithfully carried out Wang Renze's orders would have experienced some hard slaughtering, but unexpectedly, there were very few Zheng army soldiers running from under the city wall.
In fact, the wolf poison smoke will not only make the Zheng army soldiers run out of noses, tears, and poison their lungs, but also numb their nerves. These Zheng army soldiers do not want to escape, but their hands and feet are not obedient at all. The greatest sorrow in life is lying there waiting to die.
But now, most of the more than 3,000 soldiers of the Zheng army are like this. They are crying, they are struggling, and they are dying, but to no avail.
Finally, the poisonous smoke under the city wall began to slowly disappear. Wang Renze was surprised to find that the Tang soldiers began to attack with the ladder. All of these Tang soldiers were wearing a white gauze scarf on their heads, covering their mouths, noses, and eyes.
Wolf poison smoke will not recognize people, not only hurt the enemy, but also hurt the whole person. So Chen Ying had to ask someone to take white silk cloth and use five layers of white silk cloth and charcoal powder to make a simple anti-face mask. However, Wolf poison smoke not only hurts the lungs, but also burns the eyes. Without goggles, only thin silk as thin as cicada wings and fine silk applied to make it into glasses.
However, although the light transmittance of this kind of fish glue is not bad, it is far worse than goggles made of glass. After looking out of this cloth, everything is blurred.
At the same time, a large amount of mud and snow were covered on the burning fire. The toxic smoke gradually began to thin. However, at this time, the ladder of the Tang soldiers had already set foot on the wall of the city Hangu Pass.
"The Tang army is here, everyone is up and ready to fight!"
Wang Renze threw away his handkerchief, stood up suddenly, pulled out the horizontal knife and slashed forward, but he felt his head was dizzy and his arms could not exert strength. The horizontal knife that he had originally twisted with his hands seemed to weigh about a thousand kilograms at this time.
However, after waiting for half a stick of incense, the city wall was struggling and standing up with more than one hundred people. Wang Renze looked at the city wall left and right. At this time, the smoke had begun to dissipate. Wang Renze found that countless soldiers were lying on the entire city wall, some had black faces, some had purple lips, and some had bleeding from their seven orifices for a long time. Some soldiers were lying on the ground and rolling, holding their throats with both hands until they were bleeding, and they still grabbed them hard.
At this time, the more than a hundred people who could stand up on the entire Hangu Pass city wall were staggering and could fall to the ground at any time. Seeing the Tang soldiers approaching slowly and climbing the city wall in as little as ten breaths, Wang Renze felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.
More than 3,000 people were smoked by Chen Ying, hundreds of people died tragically, and more than 2,000 people lost their combat effectiveness. I am afraid it is only a matter of time before death.
"Chen Ying'er, despicable and shameless, dare to fight this referendum to the death?"
Cui Binyou hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Wang Renze's arm and said, "Ming Gong, we have already lost this battle. Even if Sun Wu is alive, he will be unable to make a comeback. Please retreat quickly!"
Wang Renze's eyes were about to spit out of fire: "More than 30,000 troops were completely damaged in the hands of this general in just half a month. What is the face of this general returning to Luoyang?"
"Keep the green mountains here, don't be afraid of burning fire!" Looking at Wang Renze hesitating, Cui Binyou was anxious: "Ming Gong, only living people have the opportunity to take revenge. You can't let the blood of the soldiers flow in vain!"
Wang Renze pointed at Cui Binyou with red eyes and cursed: "Bastard, did you actually bewitch the general and flee without fighting?"
Cui Binyou saw Wang Renze winked at him and ordered his personal guards to say, "Come up the general and retreat quickly!"
Wang Renze pretended to struggle for a few times, and followed the personal guards' wishes and left the Hangu Pass city walls that were "carried" by the personal guards.
...
Under the walls of Hangu Pass, Wen Zhengming, the deputy chief of the Ministry of War, shouted excitedly: "Ah... I rushed up, I rushed up!"
Chen Ying laughed.
Luo Shixin's face began to smell bad: "Let Duan Dalang get a big advantage?"
Wen Zhengming asked strangely: "Since ancient times, siege has been a very tragic battle, with many casualties..."
Zhang Shigui pointed to the still steaming fire and said, "Because of this smoke!"
Using fire to attack is the mainstream of siege wars in this era. Wen Zhengming, as the Fangsi Department of the Ministry of War, naturally knew it. However, the thick smoke attack only blocked the enemy's sight, making the enemy's archers unable to accurately hit the target, just to reduce casualties.
Sure enough, as Zhang Shigui said, Duan Zhigan led the four regiments of short-soldiers to the Hangu Pass City in one go, but the expected fight did not appear.
Looking at Chen Ying's Datao Banner began to appear in Hangu Pass City, Duan Zhigan's troops who climbed the city wall were roaring and cheering, An Xing, the eunuch, still felt unbelievable.
At this moment, with the sound of squeaking princessing her teeth, the gate of Hangu Pass began to slowly open.
Chen Ying's expression became serious: "Luo Shixin, Zhang Shigui, Ashinasmo!"
Luo Shixin, Zhang Shigui, and Asunasmo went out neatly, bowed and clasped their fists and said, "The last one is here!"
Chen Ying said loudly: "Luo Shixin is on the left wing, Ashinasmo is on the center, and Zhang Shigui is on the right wing. He must keep Wang Renze for this general!"
"The last general will receive the order!"
The three of them immediately turned around and returned to the formation, turned over and ran away along the empty city gate hole.
Chen Ying took back his gaze and said, "Feng Li!"
"The last one will be here!"
"You lead all the soldiers of the army to clean the battlefield and treat the wounded!"
Feng Li was overjoyed when he heard this.
Cleaning the battlefield is a fatal problem. Moreover, Hangu Pass, as the frontier of the Zheng army, must have stored a lot of food or property.
Chen Ying said again: "Zhang Huaiwei!"
"The last one is here!" Zhang Huaiwei bowed and clasped his fists and said.
Chen Ying said: "Take Xin'an down!"
"The last general will receive the order!"
Chen Ying said again: "Wei Wenzhong, Yuchi Gong, Gao Yunquan, He Yuejing, you will send troops to receive Xiong Er, Mianchi, Xin'an, Yanshi, Gong, Yiyang, Shou'an, Luhun, Yique, Xingtai, Qianshi, Songyang, Yangcheng and other places!"
After receiving the order, the generals led their troops to leave. At this time, the large army became loose. Wen Zhengming listened to the small officials around him running quickly and whispered softly in his ear.
Wen Zhengming said in amazement: "Take it serious?"
The little official nodded heavily.
Wen Zhengming didn't bother to say hello to Chen Ying, and ran towards the city wall.
That posture is similar to a vicious dog snatching food, both fast and fierce.
After running wildly, Wen Zhengming came to the city wall and found hundreds of naked corpses on the city wall. These Tang soldiers were so cruel that they didn't even let go of the clothes on the corpse.
Armor, long spear, spear, horizontal sword, short sword, shield, axe, halberd, hook, fork, and slaughter (Yin Shu, one of the ancient weapons), has piled up into small hills. Even soldiers who have surrendered have their armor removed and received emergency treatment from medical soldiers.
Wen Zhengming said in amazement: "This... is the end of the fight?"
"Oh!" Duan Zhigan heard Wen Zhengming's words and raised his fingers at the piles of corpses and said, "In this battle, our army killed 644 enemies and injured 1,861 enemies. He captured 2,414 people, himself... himself!"
Duan Zhigan howled outside: "Are our people injured?"
A Tang soldier lay on the ground, covering his crotch, blushed and said timidly: "There is... me!"
Duan Zhigan said with a frightened face: "Why are you so fucking hurt?"
The soldier's face instantly seemed to have opened a dyeing workshop.
Another soldier said: "Ergouzi is too anxious, step on the fork rod!"
Duan Zhigan immediately understood. The fork rod is a tool used to push down the enemy's ladder. It is placed on the city wall like a shovel, forming a curve. A soldier accidentally stepped on the other end, and this end raised, hitting the unlucky guy's crotch.
Duan Zhigan was speechless at this time, pointing at the wounded soldier and said, "How unlucky are you? This bad thing can happen!"
Wen Zhengming instructed the minor official and said, "Don't make a fool of this wounded soldier!"
"But……"
"Non-war injury soldier Ding Yi!"
At this time, Wen Zhengming was also in a happy trouble. How should this good news be given to the Ministry of War? Hangu Pass broke the city in just half an hour and achieved the record of annihilation of more than 3,000 enemies, but he had no casualties. If he followed this fact, the Ministry of War would definitely think he was bullshit.
An Xing and Chen Ying began to enter Hangu Pass. At this time, the Tang army had fully accepted Hangu Pass. An Xing sighed: "Who could have thought that Hangu Pass, one of the world's most powerful passes, was under General Chen's hands, and it didn't last half an hour..."
Chen Ying smiled and said, "What's the matter? When this general fights, he never lets the soldiers fight hard. If he can use his brains, he will never use brute force!"
