"Keep chasing!"

 Lu Bu led the cavalry of the Qin army, and chased after Long Qie, frightened Long Qie ran away desperately.

 Just now, the [-] soldiers under Long Qie's command were only led by Lu Bu's cavalry, and they were crushed by a single charge, and then it became a one-sided massacre.

 Long Qi even overestimated his ability to confront Lu Bu with a few moves, but he was almost cut off by Lu Bu, and all the souls of the dead fled desperately.

 "When did such a fierce general appear in the Qin army, he can hardly lose to the general!"

 Long Qi looked at the cavalry of the Qin Army who were still chasing them, and looked at the tall and mighty Lu Bu in the front, his palms were shaking.

 Long Qi is the number one general under Xiang Yu's command, and his own military strength is also extraordinary, but he is still a level behind such peerless generals as Lu Bu and Xiang Yu.

 At this time, Long Qi, who was running away, seemed to see Xiang Yu's figure from Lu Bu's body, and he was also in a mess suddenly, invincible.

 "General, you can't escape like this. The cavalry of the Qin Army behind us are faster than us. If this continues, we will be overtaken.

 General Long, you go first, we will stay behind.

 General Long, go back and tell the General that we children of the Chu Kingdom have not shamed him. "

 Immediately, hundreds of Xiang Army cavalry who were protecting Longqie turned around one after another, and killed Lu Bu and other Qin Army cavalry to buy time for Longqie to escape.

 The dragon understood the kindness of these guards and continued to flee on horseback.

 He looked back and saw that the hundreds of guards who had killed back had already fought with the cavalry of the Qin army who were chasing them, but they all fell down soon.

 There were more than a hundred cavalry in the area, and they could only resist the cavalry of the Qin army for a while, but this finally bought enough time for Long Qie to escape.

 "Stop, stop chasing."

 Looking at Long Qi who had fled away, Lu Bu raised his hand to stop the cavalry of the Qin Army from chasing.

 Long Qi has already escaped a long way, and it will be difficult to catch up again, so there is no need to waste this effort.

 "Go back and return His Majesty."

 Immediately afterwards, Lu Bu led the cavalry of the Qin Army back, and did not kill any more.

 When Lu Bu returned with his cavalry, he saw behind him the infantry of the Guards Corps led by Zhao Yun, busy escorting the prisoners.

 When those prisoners of the Xiang army saw the cavalry led by Lu Bu returning, many of them were so frightened that they fell to the ground directly, trembling.

 They were really terrified by the frenzied slaughter led by Lu Bu with the cavalry of the Qin army.

 At this time, Lu Bu and the group of cavalrymen of the Qin army behind him, in the eyes of these Xiang army prisoners, were a group of terrifying killing gods, killing people without blinking an eye, and extremely powerful.

 "Your Majesty, General Lu has returned with his army."

 Xu Feng and Guo Jia stood on the Tongguan Pass, looking at the cavalry corps galloping back outside the pass. Guo Jia sipped the wine in his wine bag and said with a smile.

 "Haha, this battle has been decided, but I don't know if Lu Bu has caught Long Qi, who is the number one general under Xiang Yu's command.

 If I can catch Longqi, I really want to see Xiang Yu's wonderful face after I get to Hangu Pass. "

 Having won a big victory casually, Xu Feng was in a good mood, he laughed and said.

 Guo Jia looked at Xu Feng, who was laughing, and said, "Your Majesty, the cavalry under General Lu's command are indeed exceptionally brave. They are sharp blades, and they are not inferior to the tiger and leopard cavalry!"

 "Well, it's a pity that the number is still too small. The prime minister and Fengxian both tried their best to gather seven thousand cavalry before Zhen Yujia's personal conquest."

 Xu Feng nodded. He was very satisfied with the performance of Lu Bu's cavalry corps on the battlefield.

 "When will I have tens of thousands or even 10,000+ cavalry under my command, then why should I be afraid of Xiang Yu's 40 rebels, and I will destroy them all.

 At that time, I will be able to sweep the six kingdoms again and rule the world like my father did. "

 Xu Feng expressed his vision for the future.

 "Your Majesty, you will do it. Feng Xiao is willing to assist His Majesty to witness the scene of Great Qin once again dominating the world."

 Guo Jia bowed and said, also looking forward to the power of Xu Fengshuo's narration.

 In the previous life, his wish was to assist Cao Cao and unify China, but unfortunately he died young, and he didn't even see Cao Cao unify northern China.

 In this life now, he hopes that his ideal can be realized in Xu Feng.

 After a while, Lu Bu walked towards Xu Feng with the pace of dragons and tigers, saluted in front of Xu Feng, and said with a lot of respect, "Your Majesty, this humble servant has fulfilled His Majesty's orders. He only defeated the rebel army, but failed to capture the rebel general Long Qi. .”

 "Didn't you catch Longqi?"

 Xu Feng was also a little disappointed when he heard Lu Bu's reply.

 However, Xu Feng could not force Lu Bu on this point. Even if the enemy army was defeated on the battlefield, it would not be so easy to capture the enemy's leader.

 "Lu Aiqing don't need to blame yourself, your cavalry regiment fought very well in this battle."

 "Thank you, Your Majesty."

 To be honest, Lu Bu's cavalry fought very well in this battle, and Xu Feng was really satisfied.

 Half a day later, Zhao Yun's guard army also returned, bringing back more than [-] prisoners.

 In this battle, Xu Feng and the others hit the dragon from behind and took them by surprise. After paying the casualty price of more than a thousand people, they defeated the [-] troops occupying Tongguan.

 Killed 6000 enemy troops, captured more than 4000 people, and only [-] escaped. Long Qie basically became a polished commander and escaped.

 "Zhao Yun, from your guards, leave a thousand-man team, escort these prisoners back to Xianyang, and hand them over to the prime minister.

 It just so happens that the mine is being expanded, and the mining manpower is insufficient. These 8000 people are enough to support the opening of several new mines. "

 Xu Feng gave Zhao Yun an order.

 "Yes, Your Majesty. The final arrangement will be made." Zhao Yun replied respectfully.

 "The whole army will rest in Tongguan tonight, and we will go on our way tomorrow."

 Tongguan is still more than 150 miles away from Hangu Pass at this time, and Qin Jun still needs to go for two days, so Xu Feng is not in a hurry for the time being.

 Xu Feng knew that since Xiang Yu sent Long Qie to detour and attack Tongguan, at least it meant that Xiang Yu could not conquer Hangu Pass for a long time, so he came up with this strategy.

 This also indirectly shows that Hangu Pass is safe for the time being, so they don't have to rush there.

 The march should not be too hasty. Xu Feng needed to let the soldiers of the Qin army under his command not be too tired when they arrived at Hangu Pass, and they could fight at any time.

 After resting overnight in Tongguan, more than [-] Qin troops continued to march towards Hangu Pass the next day.

 After learning the lesson from Xiang Jun's sneak attack on Tongguan, Xu Feng also became vigilant, took Guo Jia's suggestion, and left [-] soldiers and horses in Tongguan to protect their rear food roads.

Chapter 33 Arriving at Hangu Pass

 33 Arrive at Hangu Pass

 [New book please recommend for collection! 】

 On November [-]th, the third year of Qin II, nearly [-] Qin troops led by Xu Feng finally arrived at Hangu Pass after five days.

 "See Your Majesty."

 After learning that Xu Fengyu was personally leading the army, Li You was also very excited and led a group of Qin generals out of the customs to meet him.

 "Everyone, you have worked hard."

 Xu Feng personally helped Li You up, looking at the many generals of the Qin Army behind him.

 At this time, the armors of many generals of the Qin Army were still stained with blood, obviously they had just come out of battle.

 "Feng Xiao, you arrange for the army to enter the customs, Li You, follow me and introduce the situation on your side."

 Xu Feng turned around and gave Guo Jia instructions, and Li You followed Xu Feng and walked to Hangu Pass.

 "Your Majesty, I have lived up to His Majesty's orders and have defended the Hangu Pass. For the past half month, Xiang Yu's rebel army has been attacking the city every day.

 Although the casualties of our army were not small, all the soldiers of my old Qin people fought bloody and saved Hangu Pass. "

 When Li You said this, his voice was low, proud and sad.

 He is proud that he has firmly fulfilled Xu Feng's order and guarded Hangu Pass. Sadly, his soldiers have suffered heavy casualties these days.

 "Well, Li You, you did a good job. You didn't insult your father's name. Both of you, father and son, are my Great Qin Zhongliang."

 At this time, Xu Feng knew that he should give Li You some encouragement.

 Although this was Xu Feng's first time as an emperor, he didn't know much about the way of being an emperor, but he had seen some leaders in his previous life, and he could naturally learn some by using such words of encouragement to fool his subordinates.

 "Tell me about the casualties of your army?"

 "Yes, Your Majesty."

 "In the past half a month, our army has repelled more than 40 attacks by the rebels outside the pass, killing and injuring more than [-] enemy troops.

 But our army also suffered a lot of casualties. The number of casualties was about 4, of which more than [-] were killed and more than [-] were injured. "

 "In other words, there are only 5 soldiers left under your command who can fight?"

 Xu Feng frowned after listening to Li You's narration. The casualties on Li You's side were more serious than he imagined.

 "Yes, Your Majesty."

 "Fortunately, our army suffered heavy casualties, and the rebels outside the pass suffered even more than us. The rebels outside the pass have significantly weakened their offensive in the past two days."

 At this time, Li You obviously didn't know the news that Xiang Yu sent a dragon to attack Tongguan.

 "Li You, it's not that Xiang Yu weakened the offensive because of casualties outside the pass, but Xiang Yu sent troops to cut off your food roads, waiting for you to break without attack.

 Do you know that three days ago, Xiang Yu's general Long Qi led [-] rebels around your rear and captured Tongguan.

 If it wasn't for the coincidence that our army arrived, Long Qi would have already cut off the food route for your army.

 When the food on your side is exhausted, it will be the time for Xiang Yu to break through! "

 "Ah, there is such a thing, I have not received any news."

 Li You was also extremely surprised when he heard what Xu Feng said, and then he was frightened into a cold sweat.

 If Tongguan is really lost, their food roads will be cut off, and they may even be threatened by Xiang Yu and Long from both sides. Then it will only be a matter of time before Hanguguan falls.

 "Fortunately, His Majesty arrived in time." Li You said happily.

 "Well, now that the reinforcements have arrived, you can arrange to transport the injured soldiers to Tongguan to heal."

 "Yes, Your Majesty."

 "By the way, the batch of iron weapons I gave you before, how did the soldiers react after using them?"

 Suddenly, Xu Feng asked about it.

 Immediately, a smile appeared on Li You's face, and he said excitedly: "Your Majesty, those iron weapons are really easy to use, much better than the bronze weapons we use now.

 Sharp, tough and unbreakable, soldiers especially like to use these weapons.

 The last general organized a few elite soldiers, equipped with these iron weapons, and every time a rebel army attacked the pass wall, they would fight out and kill the rebel army.

 Such iron soldiers can even cut off bronze weapons, which is too dominant in battle.

 Unfortunately, the number is still too small. "

 "As long as it is easy to use, all the troops I brought this time are equipped with this kind of iron soldiers.

 In addition to these iron weapons, I also brought a sharp weapon for defending the city. When you see it, you will definitely like it more. "

 Xu Feng said with a smile.

 A while later, accompanied by Li You, Xu Feng boarded the Hangu Pass. Xu Feng looked at this ancient pass and touched the rough stone wall, feeling a little emotional in his heart.

 "Hangu Pass has witnessed the rise and fall, humiliation and rise of my old Qin people."

 Xu Feng murmured in a low voice, during this time, he had completely assumed the role of Hu Hai.

 When Xu Feng boarded the wall and looked at the huge company stretching for more than ten miles to the east outside the pass, Xu Feng was also deeply shocked.

 Xu Feng knew that the company outside the pass was Xiang Yu's army.

 "Xiang Yu has so many soldiers and horses!" Xu Feng couldn't help expressing emotion.

 "Yes, Your Majesty, at this time Xiang Yu's rebel army has reached 40, and some of the rebels were brought out by Xiang Yu along the way.

 Defeated the old general Wang Li and destroyed Zhang Han's prisoner army. They have experienced many battles and are all elite veterans.

 Fortunately, we have been sticking to the Hangu Pass. If we had gone out to fight in the field, we would have been defeated long ago. "

 Li You looked at the company camp outside the city, and said to Xu Feng with a solemn and apprehensive expression.

 "Don't worry, the victory will belong to my old Qin people. Back then, Duke Hui's army of 50 was defeated by Wei State, and our Qin State may perish at any time.

 But in the end, we made it through.

 Today, although our situation is also very bad, we will definitely win this battle. "
