Chapter 629: The Battle of Hangu Pass (Part II)


Xia Jun's hot air balloon slowly flew to the sky above Hangu Pass, in order to facilitate the bomb dropping, Xia Jun created a flap that can be lifted in the hanging basket, and the bomb can land directly through the flap mouth, which can greatly save manpower; Although dropping a bomb from the air is a feat, there is also a fatal problem, that is, the accuracy is not accurate, and it is not known where the dropped bomb will fall.

"Arrive at the location and open the flap."

The officer on the balloon No. 1 said; Then the flag is played.

The shouting in the high altitude is basically inaudible, and the hot air balloon behind has two choices, one is to see the flag, and the other is to follow the No. 1 hot air balloon; After the flap was opened, the two people standing in the hot air balloon gondola twisted the bomb and lit it, and threw it from the flip port, and the 35 hot air balloons threw all the 35 giant bombs of 200 catties in one breath, and the height of the hot air balloon from the ground was between 150 and 200 meters.

The shrill sound of the "chirp, chirp, chirp" bomb piercing the air sounded in the sky, and almost instantaneously the explosion of "boom, boom, boom" sounded in the Hangu Pass City, due to the different speed of the burning of the medicine twist, so the time of the landing explosion is not the same, some have not yet landed and exploded, some have not been blown up long after landing, and some have exploded after a period of time after landing, and some have even become a large iron block that has not exploded at all after landing.

"Boom" a loud earth-shattering sound sounded in Hangu Pass, a huge mushroom cloud rose into the sky, the explosion sound was deafening, it could be heard from dozens of miles away, the Song soldiers who were relatively close to the center of the explosion were directly torn into minced meat, and the limbs that were a little farther away were also mutilated, and even the Song soldiers who were guarding on the city wall were temporarily deaf by the bombing, and the entire Hangu Pass City was shrouded in a billowing smoke and dust.

Xia Emperor Li Liangzuo immediately realized that this was a rare fighter, and immediately issued a military order: "Order Li Hu'er to immediately launch the most fierce attack on Hangu Pass and take Hangu Pass at all costs." ” "Respectfully obey Your Majesty Shengyu," the herald beside Li Liangzuo immediately received the order.

In any case, the first round of bombing by the Xia army was completed, although the hit was not very accurate, but the Song army did not have air defense measures The target is also obvious, the Xia army has achieved very significant results, the Song army's camp, granary, powder magazine, etc. in Hangu Pass were blown up, and hitting the powder magazine was originally a miracle, because the Xia army did not know the location of the Song army's powder magazine, after the bomb was dropped, a bomb deviated from the target and smashed into a building near the target, and it took a long time before the explosion occurred, and this building was the powder magazine of the Song army, The Song army put tens of thousands of catties of gunpowder in it, and all of them were detonated in an instant, and its power can be imagined.

After Li Hu'er received the military order, he immediately launched the most fierce attack on the city of Hangu Pass, at this time the Song army was martyred and exploded and had not yet reacted, Hangu Pass was still shrouded in smoke and dust, of course, the long-range attack troops of the Xia army were not idle, explosive bags, crossbow arrows accompanied the Xia army siege troops launched a fierce attack, and the Song army's troops guarding the pass were directly defeated.

"Don't mess up, don't mess up, fight back immediately, fight back immediately," Chong Hao shouted loudly.

Standing beside Chong Hao, Chong Xi only saw the eldest brother opening his mouth, as for saying something, he didn't know at all, Chong Xi only felt the buzzing of his ears, Chong Hao suddenly saw a crossbow arrow flying towards Chong Xi from the smoke and dust, Chong Hao pushed Chong Xi away, "poof" The crossbow arrow directly penetrated Chong Hao's body and nailed it to the city gate tower not far behind, and the reaction of Chong Xi couldn't accept everything in front of him at all, and roared angrily: "Big brother" Chong Xi struggled to climb in front of Chong Hao, at this time Chong Hao still had a breath, Chong Hao said weakly to Chong Xi: "Leave and leave, here and here" Chong Hao's words were hung up before he finished speaking, and he was not blind, and at this time the smoke and dust had gradually dispersed, and the Xia army had already climbed to the top of the city, because such a big change had happened in such a short period of time, the Song army did not react at all, so the resistance of the Song army was very weak.

At this time, an adjutant general walked up to Chongxi and said, "General, let's go, the Xia army has already entered the city, and it will be too late if you don't leave." ” "I'm not leaving, I'm going to be with my eldest brother," Chongxi muttered.

As soon as the adjutant general saw Chongxi's dejected appearance, he immediately gave a decisive order: "Quickly, protect General Chongxi from here" Chongxi was carried by the sergeants of the two armies and hurriedly left with only more than 100 guards, because of the loss of command of the entire Song army in the city of Hangu Pass, everyone rushed to flee to the east, and the Song army was crowded together at the east gate of Hangu Pass, in order to be able to get out of the city first and even kill each other.

The Song army has been completely defeated, the loss of Hangu Pass has become a foregone conclusion, the Xia army siege force opened the west gate of Hangu Pass to welcome the army into the city after entering the city pass, Li Huer led more than 100,000 troops into the city and began to clear the remnants of the Song army in the city, in just one day the Song army became impregnable Hangu Pass changed hands, the banner of the Xia army fluttered above the head of Hangu Pass; For the rout army defending the city, Li Hu'er did not let go of leading the army to chase and kill all the way, and most of the more than 100,000 Song troops defending the city were killed, and most of the rest were captured by the Xia army.

Late at night, Li Hu'er led the army back to Hangu Guancheng, and Li Liangzuo had already entered Guancheng and placed his line in the general's mansion; Li Hu'er came to Li Liangzuo's side and saluted: "The last general will meet Your Majesty." ” "Get up," Li Liangzuo said to Li Hu'er; "How did this battle go?"

"Your Majesty, the main force of the Song army has been wiped out by our army, the general of the Song army defending the city, Chong Hao, was killed, and Chong Xi only led hundreds of remnants to flee to the east, and the entire Hangu Pass defense line has been completely broken by our army."

Li Huer reported to Li Liangzuo.

"Hangu Pass has been lost, and the eastern defense line of the Song army has been completely broken by our army."

Li Liangzuo said to Li Hu'er; "Tomorrow, we will send a large army to attack the two cities of Yuzhou and Lingbao, completely remove the threat from the two wings of our army, and then lead the army to attack Luoyang in a big way."

"Yes, the last general commanded," Li Hu'er took the military order.

Li Liangzuo continued to say to Li Hu'er: "Now that the Central Plains is empty, it is a good time to grasp it yourself; Tomorrow I will return to the imperial capital, and I will hand over the more than 100,000 troops to you. ” Li Hu'er said very excitedly: "The last general will definitely live up to Your Majesty's high expectations." ” Li Liangzuo patted Li Hu'er on the shoulder and said, "Hu'er, remember that you are the Tuoba Li clan and my nephew, don't embarrass me." ” "It's Your Majesty, my nephew remembers."

Li Hu'er said to Li Liangzuo's one-knee military salute; "My nephew is leaving."

The next day, Li Liangzuo left Hangu Pass under the protection of hundreds of guards, and at the same time, Li Huer led a large army to attack Lingbao and Yuzhou in two ways, and the defenders of the two places abandoned the city and fled east after only a little resistance, so that the Song army's Hangu Pass defense line completely collapsed, and the Xia army attacked Shaanzhou all the way east; Shaanzhou was the last city in the Hanguguan defense line, and the Song army put a large amount of grain and grass in the city, but because the Xia army marched too fast, only part of the grain and grass in the city was burned, and most of the rest was taken by Li Hu'er.
