Chapter 1821 Gongsun Yanhuo burns Hangu Pass

Chapter 1819: Gongsun Yanhuo burns Hangu Pass

"My lord, the corpses of the two military advisers and the generals have been buried." Hou Junji said to Li Shimin with a sad face.

Hearing this, Li Shimin turned around tremblingly, and glanced at the rows of stretchers behind him.

The once familiar faces came into view, but now they turned into cold corpses.

Li Shimin walked to the stretcher where the corpses of Li Ru and Du Ruhui were placed, his eyes were full of self-blame and pain, and tears kept flowing from the corners of his eyes.

A generation of kings cried silently.

In the Nanxiang War, Li Shimin fought in Nanxiang County with only one city left in Nanxiang. From the beginning to the end, no general was killed or injured. Although there were many losses in troops, they were also supplemented by the surrender of the Qin army. Overall, the casualties Not too big.

But he didn't expect that the battle at Hangu Pass, no, the battle with Li Cunxiao would cost him such a heavy loss.

Li Ru and Du Ruhui fell one after another, and half of the four major military divisions were directly killed.

The pro-guard army was almost disabled, and the generals of the pro-guard: Chai Shao and Hu Che'er died in battle.

Clan General: Li Hu died in battle.

In addition, there are: Zuo Tiancheng, Guo Si, Niu Fu, Zhang Ji, Hu Chi'er, Zhao Gui and other generals.

According to statistics, a total of 64 generals in the army died in the hands of Li Cunxiao, which accounted for a quarter of the total number of generals in Li Tang.

In addition to the generals who died in battle, there were countless wounded.

Twenty-one generals including Zhang Xiu, Kang Anyu, Li Jue, Hua Xiong, Li Keyong, and Yang Jian were seriously injured, and Li Yuanba, Li Tang's first fierce general, had his left arm cut off.

Let's put it this way, after the battle with Li Cunxiao, more than half of the Tang army's high-level combat power has been lost.

Li Cunxiao defeated more than half of the Tang army's combat power with his own strength. This record is simply a fortress. It is no exaggeration to say that one person is against one country.

"My lord, our army suffered nearly 64 casualties in this battle, and nearly 21 of them were at the hands of Li Cunxiao alone. A total of [-] generals died in the battle, and [-] generals were seriously injured and could no longer go to the battlefield."

Li Kui reported that he was very aware of how much this battle had dealt to his lord and the entire army.

Regardless of how many generals were killed in battle, it is said that King Tang was forced to abandon the army and flee for his life by only one person, which would be a fatal blow to the morale of the army.

At this time, the Tang army still had nearly 14 troops, and its total strength was still strong, but its morale was very low, and it was no longer suitable for continuing to fight.

But if you just retreat like this?
Looking at Li Shimin's eyes full of hatred, Li Kui knew that it was absolutely impossible for the lord who had suffered such a big loss to let it go, and it was absolutely impossible to retreat.

Regardless of the morale of the whole army, Luoyang's side is already on the string, and how can there be any turning back when the bow is opened?
At this time, although Li Kui knew that Tang Jun's front army was in a difficult situation, under the pressure of the general situation, he could only bite the bullet and continue walking.

"Transport the bodies of all the generals who died in battle back to Chang'an for a proper burial, give all the wounded generals the best treatment, and then send troops to protect them and return to Chang'an to recuperate." Li Shimin said, holding back his grief.

"promise."

At this moment, Cihang Taoist came over and said, "King Tang, Junior Brother Yang Jian's injury has already been healed by Pindao. Although it is not fatal, it may take half a year to recuperate.

As for General Yuanba's trauma, it has already been bandaged by the poor, but a broken arm?Please forgive me for being helpless. "

Hearing this, Li Shimin became anxious immediately: "Master Daoist, if even you can't save Yuanba, I'm afraid no one in this world can save Yuanba."

Ci Hangdao showed a wry smile. She is indeed a doctor and a doctor, but as far as she knows, even if she is a doctor, few people can do such a thing as a broken arm.

"If General Yuanba's left hand was chopped off by conventional methods, and healed immediately, Pindao is sure to connect it, but it will definitely not recover to the same level as it was before it was chopped off. It is even more impossible to pick up the Drum Weng Golden Hammer.

"It's better than being disabled," Li Shimin said.

Seeing that Li Shimin didn't understand what he meant, Master Cihang hurriedly explained: "King Tang doesn't know that General Yuanba's severed arm injury was not a conventional cut."

Li Shimin was taken aback, puzzled: "What's the difference?"

"The biggest difference is that the person who cut off General Yuanba's arm was Li Cunxiao in a state of burning internal energy.

The burning stellar energy was too violent. When General Yuanba's left arm was cut off, the arm and the meridians in his arm were already damaged by the stellar energy.

The biggest difficulty in connecting the broken arm is to connect the meridians, and if the meridians are not connected, even if the arm is connected, it is just a piece of dead flesh. "

As soon as Master Cihang said this, Li Shimin's face turned pale.

"Master Daoist, is there really no other way? He is Li Yuanba, the once invincible General Shenweitian. He can't be a useless person."

Li Shimin grabbed the hand of Taoist Cihang in prayer: "Master Daoist, as long as Yuanba can be cured, this king will not pay any price, even if it is to cut off my left arm, it will do for Yuanba to connect it."

"If it's not my own arm, it's even more impossible to connect it. Tang Wang is eager to protect his brother, and the poor can understand it, but this request is really beyond the scope of the poor's ability. Please don't make things difficult for the poor." Hang smiled wryly.

Hearing this, Li Shimin was completely desperate, covered his face and cried bitterly: "Yuanba, it was the second brother who harmed you...

"Report, my lord, Gongsun Yan led the army to withdraw from Hangu Pass, and now Hangu Pass is an empty city."

Hearing this, Li Shimin's eyes were full of hatred, and he said bitterly: "Yuanba, Second Brother will definitely avenge you.

Pass down the order to garrison Hangu Pass immediately, and then send cavalry to chase Gongsun Yan. This king wants to see how he will escape back to Yewang City. "

"promise."

Following Li Shimin's order, Li Tang's army began to station at Hangu Pass, and broke open the sealed east gate, preparing to send troops to pursue the Qin army.

After the Qin army withdrew from Hangu Pass, in addition to burning all the ordnance, they also completely sealed the east gate with stones. The Tang army moved for two hours and failed to completely clear the road.

Just when the stones were about to be emptied, a fire suddenly ignited in the pass. The fire was so big and fierce that it could not be extinguished at all.

In the end, the fire burned for three days and three nights, and Hangu Pass was burned down by the fire.

Tang Jun discovered the fire in time, but due to the large number of soldiers entering the pass, although most of the soldiers escaped from Hangu Pass in the end, nearly [-] soldiers were still burned to death.

Hangu Guandong, ten miles away.

Gongsun Yan looked at the red night sky illuminated by the flames behind him, gritted his teeth and said, "General Li Cunxiao, your sacrifice will never be in vain. Even if the last general dies, he must defend Yewang City."

"Report... to the general, Luoyang sent a letter from Feige."

After Gongsun Yan took a look at it, he smiled wryly. If this letter from Feige had come a day earlier, General Li Cunxiao would not have had to sacrifice.
