Datang: Get Xiang Yu's divine power at the beginning

Chapter 63

Wu Zhen also had a headache at this time. As a lieutenant general, his immediate superior had already died in battle, so he would naturally bear most of the blame.

However, if he has no bright spots in this battle, then the person who is held accountable will definitely add himself.

Therefore, Wu Zhen transferred his personal guards to the east gate early, hoping to maintain the situation.

However, the most troublesome thing for him now is the continuous stream of broken soldiers coming towards the east gate.

More and more people, more and more people.

"We have already lost, open the city gate."

"It will be too late if we don't open the city gate."

"You don't open the city gate because you want us to die, so let's all die together."

When there were too many people, the people who were originally defeated soldiers became more powerful, so all kinds of malicious voices were transmitted from a certain corner of the crowd.

"You are the guards of Hangu Pass. If you escape, your family members have considered it. Deserters will be discriminated against by everyone, and at the same time they will never be able to hold their heads up again."

Wu Zhen looked at more and more people and spoke to comfort them.

"As long as we guard this city gate, the crime of losing the pass will be greatly reduced for all of us."

"I'm single with no family."

"We can't defeat the enemy, they, they don't want their lives, they are simply not human."

"General, let go of the city gate and let us escape for our lives. We can't stop them."

"If you can't resist it, then use everyone's life to resist it. As long as I'm still here today, you deserters will never be able to get out of this door."

"General, please show kindness to them, they will come soon, we really can't beat them."

"Everyone is ready with their crossbows. If anyone dares to come close, he will be shot on the spot. Do you understand?" Wu Zhen shouted loudly.

At this time, Ma Chao also led his troops to chase not far away, and saw the situation on the field.

"Go, pass my order, everyone slowly press in, don't be reckless, we are going to watch a good show today."

"Cavalry, get ready, harass and attack the enemy with bows and arrows, and never entangle the enemy."

I saw dozens of horses sprinting away, but everyone on the other side thought it was the cavalry charging, and they just shot all the arrows in their hands within the range.

So, in order to avoid the arrows, the rout moved closer to the east gate.

However, the arrow on the opposite side didn't mean to stop, but just silently within the range, firing the arrow steadily, without any sense of hurry.

However, with the firing of bows and arrows, the distance between the rout soldiers was severely reduced. In order to survive, everyone could only approach the east gate.

"General, I beg you, just open the city gate and let the brothers live."

"Don't beg him. In order to keep his official position, he must use the heads of us as companions."

"Brothers, we have no way out. They, they are not human, we can't defeat them. Now, the only way to survive is to get out of the city gate,"

"Fart, there is a flat land outside the city gate. If the enemy's cavalry catch up, how many of us will survive, as long as we stop them, we will have a way out."

Wu Zhen shouted loudly from the top of the city.

However, his words did not last long.

An arrow flew from nowhere and passed through his head.

Wu Zhen fell helplessly on the city wall, and accompanied by the calls of the guards around him, there were also shouts of death rising from the sky.

The soldiers who were blocked because of the majesty of their superiors saw that he was dead, so they approached the city gate more and more.

The soldiers who originally guarded the city gate were also a little at a loss.

However, the enemies not far away had already put down their bows and arrows, raised their weapons, and rushed towards them.

Under the test of life and death, most people choose to retreat.

So, when the clatter of horse hooves approached in the street.The east gate of Hangu Pass, which was originally closed, was slowly opened.

Everyone yelled and rushed out from the city gate. There was no team, no formation, only running in haste.

Everyone who runs away understands that they can't escape the horse, but as long as they are faster than the people around them, they have a chance.

After all, killing everyone is too far-fetched.

All of them abandoned their weapons, dropped their bows and arrows, and took off their armor from their bodies, just to run faster.

However, outside the east gate of Hangu Pass, there is a flat land. Even in order to defend against enemy attacks, there are not many weeds and trees left.

In flat areas, cavalry are the real gods.

And in order to avoid future troubles, Ma Chao's order was not to accept prisoners.

My own number is too small, if there are too many captives, too much manpower will be wasted, it is better to eliminate these captives from the source.

As a result, the war horses galloped and trampled over the bodies of the defeated soldiers mercilessly. The arrows kept flying out, the bodies were picked up by the spears, and those who were hiding on the ground were trampled to death.

In the eyes of the cavalry, the scattered infantry were just corpses with no way out. As long as they shot lightly, they would be out of their wits.

Of course, there are also smart people who gather together to escape and at the same time resist together when faced with pursuit.

However, the cavalry just bypassed them and chased the individual individuals, because they were not their favorite, and the cavalry team would naturally deal with the group's defeat.

Sure enough, after a while, a cavalry team surrounded them.

First is the cover of the bow and arrow, then the collision of the horse, and then... there is no more after that. Of course, if making up the knife can be counted as a step, this is the last step.

Moreover, the cavalry's last-ditch attack was to sit on horseback and use the arrows or spears in their hands to deliver a fatal blow to the person lying on the ground from a safe distance.

In a blink of an eye, on this flat land, there were only a dozen or so solitary cavalry horses carefully examining the corpses to prevent any living people from appearing.

In the sky, groups of crows were already circling, and some of the more daring ones had already landed on the ground, tearing apart the corpses on the ground.

And there were groups of wild dogs or wolves who came smelling the smell of blood. They knew that these living people would leave soon, and the rest would be left to them.

Animals and corpses have always been intimate, especially corpses that have not been restrained.

Two, this is indeed a big meal for these animals.

When Ma Chao returned on his horse, flocks of crows had already landed on the ground, and wild dogs and wolves were gnawing at the corpse wantonly.

Ma Chao casually shot a wild dog that was roaring at him to the ground. Ma Chao also slowly patted the horse and entered Hangu Pass.
