Chapter 2437 Break the Dispersion Pass and Lock the Pass


    Chapter 2434: Break the Dispersion Pass and Lock the Pass


    "With Kong Peng''s temper, how could he not avenge you?"


    Gongsun Xuanyuan sighed and shook his head.


    He originally wanted to subdue the three of Wang Lion King Xiang Kong Peng. After all, the three of them had done the right thing with Da Qin, but they did not cause any major losses. They were all candidates to accept.


    One hero has three helpers.


    If Xuanyuan can subdue the three generals Kong Peng this time, his lineup will be greatly improved. Unexpectedly, he has captured the King Lion King Elephant alive, but was ruined by the Liuya who came from somewhere.


    Now that Wang Shi and Wang Xiang are both dead, the hatred between Kong Peng and Da Qin has further deepened, it is completely impossible to surrender to Da Qin.


    Although Kong Peng was interrupted again this time, his potential is unquestionable. With such a big threat, Gongsun Xuanyuan naturally could not allow him to grow.


    "Brother Kong Xuan, I''m sorry. It''s not that I won''t help you, but that luck is trying to make people."


    After underestimating this, Gongsun Xuanyuan said in a deep voice: "Chasing, you must never let Kong Peng go."


    "No."


    The four generals Yuwen Chengdu, Huang Tianhua, Pei Yuanqing and Qin Yong said in unison.


    The more Xuanyuan chased the people in the pass, the more people the Tang army was. In addition, Kong Peng''s speed was above everyone else, and gradually disappeared.


    "Damn it, let Kong Peng run away."


    Huang Tianhua looked unwilling, and he was just a little short of being able to complete the feat of killing the sixth place in the list of military generals.


    Just after Kong Peng withdrew from the state of unity between man and nature, he was even ready for the heart-drilling nail, but he didn''t expect Xuanyuan to force Kong Peng to surrender, and he didn''t expect Kong Peng to run away.


    If he had known this, he would have pretended not to hear it and just knocked Kong Peng to death with just one stroke.


    But who shot those two arrows?


    The incident happened suddenly, let alone Huang Tianhua, even Yuwen Chengdu did not react.


    "As long as Kong Peng is right with me, Daqin, he will meet him sooner or later. It will not be too late to take his dog head when the time comes." Yuwen Chengdu comforted.


    He was not upset about Kong Peng''s escape. After all, he was famously hard to kill if he could enter the top ten generals. Just killing Xiang Yu would gather all the powerful generals in the world.


    Luo Shixin, Yuan Hong, Houyi, and Ran Min, none of them are easy to kill.


    "Since Kong Peng is gone, it is urgent to get the San Pass as soon as possible."


    Hearing Gongsun Xuanyuan''s words, all the generals nodded in agreement, and then each brought a bunch of people to kill the Tang army in the pass.


    There are not many masters in the Tang army, but without the three war gods of Kong Peng, Lion King, Elephant, the strongest remaining ones are just gods, and they were directly killed by Yuwen Chengdu Yitong.


    Other top-notch and first-class generals did not pose any threat to the Qin army, and were soon slaughtered by four war gods.


    Although there are 15,000 defenders in Sanguan and there are also famous generals in command, the high-end combat power is extremely lacking, so it is crushed by the 5,000 Qin troops who have been attacked into the pass.


    Gongsun Xuanyuan, Yuwen Chengdu, Pei Yuanqing and Qin Yong, four generals, fought into the Tang army alone, galloping around and charging back and forth.


    The Tang army was killed in chaos, with blood flowing into a river and corpses everywhere.


    The Tang army was completely frightened and no longer dared to resist. They all knelt on the ground and begged for surrender.


    Seeing that the resistance of the defenders was getting weaker and weaker, Li Siyuan knew that the situation was hopeless, so he decisively ordered the burning of the grain warehouse and the armory, leaving some large troops to cut off the rear, while he himself took a small number of his confidants to Hanzhong.


    "General Gongsun, big things are not good, and all the major warehouses in Sanguan are on fire."


    "What?"


    Gongsun Xuanyuan was stunned, then gritted his teeth and said, "Damn Li Siyuan, you really can''t relax at all.


    Take people to put out the fire soon. No matter what else you have, the weapons must be rescued. ”


    "No."


    The reason why Gongsun Xuanyuan gave priority to rescue the armory was naturally because the Qin Dynasty did not lack food. Regardless of the distant places, the grain storage seized by Chen Cang alone was enough to make the defenders of Sanguan persist until the end of the war.


    Chencang is not far from Sancang. Even if Sancang has no food, it can still be transported from Chencang.


    But if it is military ordnance, it would be too late to travel from Chen Cang.


    Once the armory of Sanguan is burned and the Tang army in Hanzhong counterattacks Sanguan, the Qin army without the equipment and supplies to defend the city will find it difficult to exert the defensive advantages of Sanguan.


    Therefore, Gongsun Xuanyuan gave priority to protecting the armory.


    A raging fire broke out, and when the fire was about to get out of control, a large number of Qin soldiers came to put out the fire with buckets or sandbags, and put out the fire in time, saving most of the weapons.


    The armory was kept, but the military ration warehouse was not so lucky. Ninety percent of the military ration was burned, only 10% were kept.


    "General, the fire has been put out, the armory has saved 70% and the grain warehouse has only saved 10%."


    After hearing this, Xuanyuan felt relieved and asked, "How are our army''s casualties?" "Reported to the general, our army suffered a total of 1,000 casualties, killed 4,000 Tang troops, captured 8,000 prisoners, and killed Tang army general Wang Lion King Elephant...


    Li Siyuan, the commander of the Sanguan Pass of the Tang Dynasty, led the remnants of the army to Hanzhong. ”


    Li Tang arranged a total of 20,000 troops in Chencang and Sanguan.


    Five thousand Chen Cang defenders were all captured, and Sanguan was captured by eight thousand more, which was 13,000 prisoners of war.


    In addition, four thousand were killed in battle, and Li Siyuan only fled back to Hanzhong with only three thousand remaining troops.


    Most of the 1,000 casualties in the Qin army were before Xuanyuan arrived, and most of them were Sun Chongjin''s subordinates.


    Sun Chongjin''s confidants were originally only 1,000, but now only more than three or four hundred people are left. He was greatly injured, but he was not sad at all, because Xuanyuan not only gave birth to his official position, but also handed over 10,000 Tang army prisoners of war to him.


    Sun Chongjin was directly promoted to General of the Central Army because of offering Chen Cang and falsely opening the city gate. He led two infantry battalions, totaling 10,000 troops, which was ten times more military power than when he was appointed as General Tang.


    "General, Li Siyuan should not have run far yet. Let the last general lead the army to chase him." Huang Tianhua took the initiative to ask for his order.


    After hearing this, Xuanyuan shook his head after thinking for a moment.


    "The Qinling Ancient Road has a steep terrain and is extremely easy to set up ambush, which makes people unable to defend themselves. If they hit Li Siyuan''s ambush, they will have to not try it."


    "But it would be a pity to waste such a good opportunity, so I will be careful."


    "This is not something you can defend yourself with caution..."


    Before Gongsun Xuanyuan could finish his words, a soldier suddenly came to report.


    "Report to the generals, Yue Yun and Pei Yuanqing, they led a thousand troops out of the customs and pursued Li Siyuan."


    "What?"


    Gongsun Xuanyuan''s face suddenly became extremely ugly. He had heard of Yue Yun and Pei Yuanqing for a long time, and they had a criminal record of not following the command and going to fight without authorization. He thought that these two people had already sent a lesson, but he did not expect that he would dare to go to fight without permission.


    "If you win, that''s fine. If you lose, it depends on how I will deal with you." Gongsun Xuanyuan snorted coldly.


    Half a day later, the pursuing army sent back news. Even though Yue Yun and Pei Yuanqing were very careful, they were still caught by Li Siyuan''s serial ambush scheme. Nearly 80% of the 1,000 troops were lost, and only more than 200 people left escaped alive.


    In the Sanguan Conference Hall, Huang Tianhua looked at Yue Yun and Pei Yuanqing who were kneeling below and were still stuck in arrows, and thought to himself that it was dangerous.


    Fortunately, it was not him who chased him, but Yue Yun and Pei Yuanqing, otherwise he would be the one who knelt down nearby.


    On the other hand, Li Siyuan set up an ambush and defeated Yue Yun and Pei Yuanqing. He did not send anyone to chase and kill the two of them, but instead brought the remaining troops back to Hanzhong at full speed.


    There are only a thousand Qin troops pursuing him. Even if they are wiped out, it is irrelevant to the overall situation. The most urgent task is to return to Hanzhong first to control the overall situation.


    "General Kong Peng, we will arrive in Hanzhong soon, ah..."


    Before Li Siyuan could finish his words, Kong Peng grabbed the collar.


    After hearing Oli Siyuan''s shouting, the soldiers quickly surrounded Kong Peng and shouted, "Let the general come quickly."


    Kong Peng turned a deaf ear and stared at Li Siyuan coldly, asking, "Did you shoot those two hidden arrows?"


    Kong Pengmang was a little reckless, but he was definitely not stupid. After escaping from Sanguan, he soon thought of one thing, that is, the two wave arrows appeared so coincidental and shot the rope through such coincidence, which was obviously abnormal.


    After thinking about it, he felt that there was only one possibility, that someone did this on purpose, and even if his two righteous brothers were captured, they might not die, but if they were captured and fled, they would be extremely likely to be killed.


    After the rope was shot through, it would be better for Wang Shi and Wang Xiang to escape. If they could not escape, they would be killed. If they were killed, they would completely live with Daqin.


    No matter which one it is, it will not harm the Tang Kingdom, but it will put his elder brother and second brother in danger.


    As soon as he thought of this, Kong Peng was extremely angry. He asked himself that there was nothing wrong with Li Tang or Li Shimin. So Li Tang repay him like this?


    Li Siyuan said with a confused look on his face, "What secret arrow?"


    Seeing this, Kong Peng''s eyes flashed with a cold light and said coldly: "I''m still pretending to be stupid to me. If it''s not you, how could it be so coincidental? There were two arrows that shot the rope of my eldest brother and the second brother?"


    "Brother Kong, have you misunderstood something? If I had such archery skills, how could I not use it all the time?" Li Siyuan said with a wry smile.


    Kong Peng was silent. Li Siyuan was indeed not a master of archery skills, and that man had extremely high archery skills, so he was definitely not an ordinary archer.


    "Did you let your subordinates do it?" Kong Peng asked.


    "Brother Kong Peng, you don''t know less about Sanguan than me. If there is such an archer, I will definitely send him to support you when you fight against the four fierce and eight hammers alone. How could you shoot two cold arrows at the time?"


    Kong Peng was speechless and could only say coldly: "Don''t let me find out that you are behind this." Then he let go of Li Siyuan''s collar.


    Looking at Kong Peng''s departure, Li Siyuan had only one idea in his mind, that is, Kong Peng has changed, become smarter, and has become good at using his brain. I''m afraid it will not be easy to fool him in the future.


    Before Li Siyuan and his party fled back to Hanzhong, the senior executives of Li Tang in Chang''an received news about the fall of Sanguan and Wang Shi and Wang Xiang.


    For a moment, everyone in the Tang Dynasty was shocked.


    Sanguan is the last gateway to Guanzhong. Once it falls, the entire Guanzhong will be turned into a cage, locking down more than 100,000 Tang troops still in Guanzhong.
