At this moment, the gate of Hangu Pass was already miserable.

The five hundred cavalry led by Ling Cao blocked the gate of Hangu Pass, but they also suffered heavy casualties.

There are only five hundred people on Ling Cao's side, and how many people he Xu Rong has, just from the city wall, there are enough two or three thousand people, not to mention that there are more than 40,000 troops coming towards this side in the back.

Five hundred against fifty thousand, this is a completely one-sided situation, if there is enough time, Xu Rong's 50,000 people are enough to easily destroy Ling Cao's five hundred people.

But fortunately, his purpose was just to delay some time, not to fight to the death with that Xu Rong.

No matter how wide the gate of this Hangu Pass is, only twenty or thirty people are allowed to pass through at the same time, which means that Xu Rong can only send thirty or so people to hand over to Ling Cao at one time, at this time, the number of people really doesn't play a big role.

And that Ling Cao is also smart, knowing that after the cavalry loses the big killer weapon of charging, they can only become a live target in the face of the infantry.

Therefore, after occupying the city gates, Ling Cao ordered everyone to dismount, and at the same time made a more sensible decision to kill the horses.

Without hesitation, the five hundred cavalry turned into infantry, and at the same time killed all their previous mounts.

For a while, the gate of this Hangu Pass was full of horse carcasses, so that Xu Rong's army had to move the horse carcasses before fighting, which also delayed a lot of time.

However, Rao is like this, in such a short time of tea, the five hundred people led by Ling Cao also suffered heavy losses, at least more than 100 of them completely fell, contributing their last strength to the great cause of blocking the door.

"Brothers, hold on, the lord's army is about to arrive!" Ling Cao shouted loudly, even on his right arm, he didn't know when there was an extra arrow, Ling Cao didn't care, he was not afraid of death and reaped the life of Dong Zhuojun in front of him with one shot at a time.

With Ling Cao's encouragement. The remaining officers and soldiers of the Yizhou Army are also not afraid of death, even if the enemy's knife has cut into their bodies, they will definitely not take half a step back.

"Who the hell are you guys?" Although Xu Rong did not participate in the battle like that Ling Cao, he was supervising the battle in the rear. Seeing such a situation, while admiring these soldiers who were not afraid of death, they were also worried in their hearts.

These people are not only fierce, but also take advantage of the terrain, so that the advantage of their large army can not be used at all. If you delay like this, you'll be in trouble on your side.

"Humph!" Ling Cao snorted coldly, didn't answer, and didn't bother to answer at all.

At this time, everyone felt a slight shaking of the ground, followed by a rapid sound of horses' hooves.

Everyone looked towards the rear in unison, but found that it was an elite army that was killing them on their side, led by an elite iron horseman, and in the rear, there were a large number of infantry not far behind the cavalry.

"Brothers. The lord has arrived, kill me! Seeing that Zhou Fan had arrived, the morale of Ling Cao and the rest of the soldiers was even higher.

Their task has been completed, they have dragged until Zhou Fan's army arrives, and then it is time for a counterattack.

"That's ...... Week! How could this be ......" And at this moment, Xu Rong was also half-distracted, because he looked over from a distance, and suddenly saw the army that was killing towards them, playing the banner of Zhou Zi.

In this year, there are so many troops. And it is such an elite army, and it is under the banner of Zhou, except for Na Yizhou Mu, the champion Hou. Pingxi General Zhou Fan, who else can there be.

However, he Xu Rong had calculated everything, and everyone had guessed it, but he didn't think that this would be Zhou Fan's person, but now it happened.

"Ah, that's the army of Champion Hou......"

"It's him!"

"General Zhou."

And this time. Some sharp-eyed soldiers of the Northern Army also saw the huge Zhouzi banner, and instantly guessed the identity of the person who came, and for a while, most of the soldiers lost their minds, and there was even more longing on their faces, and they slowly put down the hand holding the weapon that was originally raised, and there was no half of the fighting spirit in their eyes.

Who Zhou Fan is They still don't know, at the time of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, some recruits were removed, and most of them followed Zhou Fan to fight in the north and south.

Thinking that at the beginning, these people followed Zhou Fan to fight against the Yellow Turban Thieves, and that battle could be described as the happiest battle in their lives, and they were invincible along the way. And later, whether it was under Zhu Jun or Huangfu Song, they did not have such a happy battle as they did at the beginning, which can be described as very aggrieved. Therefore, for Zhou Fanqi people, they have 100% respect.

And after that time, Zhou Fan was sent to Luoyang by Emperor Ling of Han, and these of them were in Luoyang as their soldiers, and they never crossed paths again.

And now, they are going to meet that Zhou Fan again, but this time they are no longer companions, and they are still enemies of him Zhou Fan.

This made them reluctant at the same time, but also a little more afraid in their hearts.

I don't want it because Zhou Fan was very good to each of their soldiers at the beginning, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he loves soldiers like children.

As for fear, it's even simpler. How powerful Zhou Fan was that day, don't they know that it was under the leadership of Zhou Fan that they were able to kill the Yellow Turban Thief.

And now they want to fight Zhou Fan's army, to be honest, they really don't dare, it's not looking for death or something.

And at this time, Zhou Fan also led the army to arrive, looking at the scene in front of him, he shouted: "Ling Cao, stand back!" ”

Now that Ling Cao's task is complete, don't look at the time they have only been fighting for less than half a pillar of incense, but at this moment they are already exhausted, whether it is physical or mental, and letting them fight again will only add casualties. Everything that rests is left to them.

Ling Cao and the others are not pretentious, it is one thing to be fearless of death, but no one will go back to die in vain, and immediately fight and retreat, evacuate the direction of the gate, and give the way to the gate to Zhou Fan.

"Soldiers, Sui and I will kill!" Seeing that Ling Cao and the others had already retreated, Zhou Fan gave an order and rushed towards Hangu Pass.

And looking at these fierce cavalry on the opposite side, the soldiers of the Northern Army in Hangu Pass couldn't help but take a few steps back, and became frightened, and even the weapons in their hands were a little unable to hold them.

Originally, when they saw Zhou Fan, they didn't have much fighting spirit, but now that they saw this brave cavalry, they had already lost the courage in their hearts to fight with it. (To be continued.) )
