The allusion that came to my mind was from a poem by Robert Browning "Childe
Roland (I think) to the Dark Tower Came" or something like that and that at
the end of the poem Roland blows a blast on a slug-horn.

This is all half-remembered stuff from secondary school. Apparently there
was no such instrument as a slug-horn (Browning got it wrong).

Anyone remember the poem? Does its plot have any parallels with HBP?
