burst Tie Mi heard the sound of the wind behind him, and was about to dodge to dodge, but it was too late, the arrow directly penetrated the iron armor on his body, penetrated into his back, and then burst out of his lungs, and shot down a Western Regions cavalry in front of him.
Blood spurted wildly from Tie Mi's mouth, and his body shook on the horse's back before falling to the ground, and then he was trampled into flesh by the chaotic horse behind him.
General Wusun Guozuo, the equivalent of the general of the Han Dynasty, was killed The defeat was like a mountain, and the entire grassland was full of chaotic deserters, a group in the east and a cluster in the west, without any formation, and even many people collided with each other.
Countless Gongsun army iron horsemen, holding their swords high, chased and slashed wildly after the rout.
The bleak wind blew across the battlefield, rolling up the wind and sand, and there was a strong smell of blood wafting through the air.
From the place of the decisive battle to Fulu City, the bones of the people of the Western Regions, broken blades and ownerless war horses were thrown all the way, and the army that completed the mission of blocking followed the escape route of the people of the Western Regions, collecting the war horses and other trophies and collecting the pawns, as for those bones, they were left to be thrown in the wilderness and became fertilizer for fertile grass.
This pursuit, far beyond the distance of any previous pursuit, 30,000 Gongsun Tie rode one man and two horses, all the way to chase wildly, from Lufu City to Dunhuang County, so that the tens of thousands of cavalry left behind under Lufu City had to abandon the grain and grass and flee in a hurry.
From Lufu City to Yumen Pass, there are seven or eight hundred miles away, and many cavalry from the Western Regions have lost their horsepower along the way, either their horses are killed, or they are chased by the soldiers of the Gongsun Dynasty or killed or captured.
In addition, most of the cavalry of the Western Regions only brought one day's food on them, and they slept in the open, and many of them fell to the ground hungry. 30,000 Gongsun Tie rode after more than 300 miles before stopping.
In the end, Ma Chao and the lords of the countries only collected 100,000 remnants of the defeated army and retreated to the west of Yumen Pass.
In the whole battle, Ma Chao led more than 200,000 cavalry of the Western Regions Coalition Army, 60,000 were killed by the Gongsun army, nearly 10,000 people were trampled to death, starved to death and separated, about 30,000 people from the Western Regions became prisoners, and more than 80,000 war horses were captured, including more than 8,000 war horses over 7 feet 5 and 50 war horses over 8 feet.
This battle caused the people of the Western Regions to be completely injured, especially the Wusun Kingdom and Shanshan Kingdom, followed by the Qiuzi Kingdom, but those small countries saw the opportunity early, and the losses were smaller.
When the news came, the entire Western Regions countries were shocked, they finally verified the horror of this legendary Han Yan King, and regarded Gongsun Bai as a devil, everyone heard the name of Gongsun Bai and changed color, and even many small countries secretly led troops to withdraw to their own countries.
It's a pity that it's too late, the fate of Xianbei, Wuhuan and the Huns, how can the people of the Western Regions not hear about it, once Gongsun Bai invades the Western Regions, then the countries of the Western Regions may no longer exist, and if you are lucky, you will become a state and a county in the Han Dynasty, and if you are unlucky, you may even be exterminated, especially the Wusun, Qiuzi and Shanshan countries that have sent the most troops.
Fortunately, the people of the Western Regions still have Yangguan and Yumen Pass as barriers to stop the enemy.
Therefore, the people of the Western Regions sent heavy troops to stick to the land of Yangguan and Yumen Pass, hoping that Gongsun Bai could retreat in the face of difficulties and let them go, after all, Yumen Pass and Yangguan are thousands of miles away from Guanzhong, and it is not very convenient to transport grain, grass and baggage on the way, and it is impossible for Gongsun Jun to fight a protracted war in the western land.
Yumen Pass, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty opened the road to the Western Regions and set up the four counties of Hexi, was named after the Western Regions when they imported jade.
Yumen Pass and another important pass, Yangguan Pass, are both located in Longle County, Dunhuang County, both of which are the governor's offices and are important places for soldiers.
At that time, the Central Plains and the Western Regions were indispensable for traffic through two passes, which were important military passes and Silk Road traffic arteries during the Han Dynasty.
Now Gongsun Bai's army is gathered at the Yumen Pass, with a total of 30,000 iron cavalry and 50,000 worry relief troops.
There are 25,000 iron cavalry of the Western Army and tens of thousands of worry-relieving troops stationed in front of Yangguan, of course, this army does not want to break through the pass, but only to intercept the people of the Western Regions and prevent them from taking advantage of the situation to enter the land of Liangzhou again.
This time, Gongsun Bai was determined to conquer the Western Regions and include it in the territory of the Han Dynasty again.
"Simple Mission: Occupy Liangzhou, completed; Harder Mission: Occupy the Western Regions, to be completed; Hard Mission: To be completed. ” In order to upgrade the system to level 8, the above three difficult tasks must be completed, in addition to the third mysterious metamorphosis task, taking the land of the Western Regions is also a task that must be completed, and Gongsun Bai has no choice.
"The Yellow River is far above the white clouds, a lonely city and ten thousand mountains.
Why should Qiang Di complain about the willows, the spring breeze does not pass the jade gate. ” In Wang Zhilian's poems, the Yumen Pass in the Tang Dynasty was majestic, magnificent, desolate and lonely.
But the Yumen Pass presented in front of Gongsun Bai is a different scenery.
The Great Wall is winding, the beacons are standing tall, the poplars are upright, and the springs are green.
The red willow flowers are red, the reeds are swaying, and the majestic posture of Guguan complements each other.
If it weren't for the war that made the gate of Xiongguan locked, it should be a camel bell, people shouting horses, caravans, and singing.
Yumen Pass and Yangguan are the only way to the Western Regions, Shanshan Guo and Cheshi and other countries led a large army to guard Yangguan, while Ma Chao led the Western Liang soldiers and Wusun and Qiuzi State coalition forces to hold the Yumen Pass.
Raising his eyes and looking at the jade gate, it was indeed as strong as iron.
The walls are tall and solid, made of crushed rocks and loess rammed, and the city walls are equipped with crossbow arrows, stones, rolling logs and other things to defend the city, and a team of fierce Hu soldiers are waiting for them.
Close the middle of the person, nine feet long, white robe and silver armor, holding a tiger head chisel gold gun, majestic, it is Ma Chao.
Under the pass, the camp is several miles away, and the camp tents are dotted around, surrounding the entire Yangguan in front of the water.
The sound of horses' hooves moved, and Gongsun Bai led more than a dozen generals and Wu Ming and other guards to personally run to the pass, and stopped thirty or forty steps away.
At the head of the city, countless bows and crossbows have been erected, ready to shoot at any time, and all the guards have also raised their big iron shields to protect Gongsun Bai on both sides.
From behind Gongsun Bai, this person is in his early twenties, handsome, more than eight feet tall, holding a long knife, straddle a white horse, looking very handsome, it is the famous general Ma Dai of Xiliang.
After several months of suffering, Ma Dai finally relieved himself and completely voted for Gongsun Bai.
Ma Dai rode out of the horse and ran forward for more than ten steps, then raised his head, arched his hand at the gate, and shouted: "Big brother, Ma Dai is here" When Ma Chao saw Ma Dai, a trace of shame and apology flashed in his eyes, but it was only a flash, and then he changed to a cold look, and said angrily: "Bo Zhan, after all, you are the enemy who is not with my Xiliang Ma family, what other face do you have to come to see me" Ma Dai sighed slightly, and shouted loudly: "Big brother, you almost killed me, I don't blame you, it's just that you colluded with other races, which has damaged the prestige of my Xiliang Ma family, now that the alien alliance has been defeated, and there is no power to return to the sky, why bother to resist stubbornly, it is better to lead the people to surrender, after all, it is not too late" Ma Chao was furious, pointed at Ma Dai and reprimanded angrily: "You thief who betrayed the Lord and defected to the enemy, for some small favors from the traitorous king, you actually betrayed the Ma family that gave birth to you and raised you, and you still have the face to say that you don't retreat quickly, don't blame me for not thinking about brotherhood, and shoot you with an arrow" Without waiting for Ma Dai to answer, Gongsun Bai had already shouted: "Ma Chao, do you still know how to write the word shame on your Xiliang Ma family, after the Han General Fubo, a famous family, betraying the imperial court, it is just a matter of forgetting the ancestors, colluding with foreign races, betraying the Han people, and insulting the ancestors."
A shameless person like you can be described as the first wonder of the ages. ” Ma Chao was scolded speechless, and couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, pointing at Gongsun Bai and shouting: "King Yan, you killed my father and brother, this sea of blood is deep, how can Ma Chao let you go Now that I have the Yumen Pass, even if you have thousands of troops and horses, you don't want to shake the Yumen Pass."
You go deep into this place alone, and sooner or later the lands south of the Yangtze River and Jiangdong will take the opportunity to go north to attack it, and then Liu Yu will become a prisoner, and you will also become a lost dog, and sooner or later you will die without a place to bury."
Gongsun Bai sneered: "The Western Regions are uncertain, and Lone will not return to the teacher."
Although the Yumen Pass is dangerous, it can be broken in a lonely day" Ma Chao didn't say a word, and roared angrily: "Shoot the arrow, shoot Gongsun Xiao'er" Closing the arrows like rain, the guards hurriedly raised their shields to block the incoming arrows, and the guards Gongsun Bai and the generals retreated.
Gongsun Bai originally didn't expect Ma Chao to surrender, but in order to make Ma Dai a wish, he immediately led the generals and the depressed Ma Dai back to the camp.
Half an hour later, in the Gongsun military camp, the gate was wide open, and countless Gongsun soldiers poured out.

The wheels rumbled, and in a cloud of dust, countless trebuchets were pulled over.
And next to the trebuchet was the Shenlei battalion led by Zhou Cang, each carrying a bag of gunpowder bombs.
Soon, more than a dozen trebuchets had gathered at Guanxia, and then one by one gunpowder bombs were ignited, and with Zhou Cang's order, one by one iron balls flew up to the Guanlou.
Boom, boom, boom The thunder roared on the upper floor, the air waves rolled, iron filings splashed everywhere, screams were screaming, and flesh and blood were flying.
A burst of chaotic artillery passed, and there was no more figure on the upper floor, everyone held a big shield to protect their bodies, and crawled under the wall.
Ma Chao obviously had a guard against this kind of earth mine, and the defenders on the upper floor were all holding one-person high shields made of pure iron, although this kind of earth mine was hugely powerful, but it had no destructive power against this kind of big iron shield.
Several cavalrymen of the Shenlei Battalion quickly rushed to the bottom of the gate, carried a few large earth mines specially made with gunpowder to the gate, and quickly ignited and evacuated.
There were several more earth-shattering explosions, and huge waves of air and smoke covered the entire closed door.
However, after the smoke cleared, Gongsun Bai looked at the closed door, and couldn't help but change his face slightly.
After such a powerful earth mine exploded, the door was still standing upright, only slightly deformed, and the door was pitch black.
"It's the iron gate," Guo Jia said in a deep voice.
The general gate is made of heavy wood, and the outer bread is made of a layer of copper skin, and the gate of the jade gate is actually made of pure iron, and this relatively small power of earth gunpowder can not help it.
"Hahaha" Ma Chao raised the big iron shield in his hand, stood up from the smoke of gunpowder, and laughed at Guan Xia.
"King Yan, don't work in vain, Yumen Pass is a male pass like iron, even if you have demon thunder and a strong crossbow, you can't help me wait, it's better to retreat as soon as possible."
The Jade Gate is not only an iron gate, but also Lao Tzu has blocked the closed door, and he wants to blow it up with a demon thunder. ” Gongsun Bai did not speak with a gloomy face, looking at the iron gate in a daze.
Ma Chao is right, with the iron gate and the blocked road, this kind of black powder really can't be blown up.
Depressed, Gongsun Bai had to lead the crowd back to the camp.
Just when Guo Jia and Sima Yi were discussing in the big tent, suddenly Wu Ming sent a report to Ma Dai asking to see him.
"The last general traveled to the Western Regions a few years ago, and heard that from Dunhuang into the Western Regions, in addition to Yangguan and Yumen Pass, there is still a valley road to the north to enter, and now the Yumen Pass is difficult to break between the hastiness, it is better to send someone to the north to find the valley road, then you can bypass the Yumen Pass and attack the hinterland of the Western Regions."
