Chapter 544 Fighting Yumen

In Jiuquan County, tens of thousands of troops used the towering Yumen Pass as a battlefield, and the screams of killing were earth-shattering!

Temujin stood on the high ground in the Gobi, outside Guan, and personally supervised the battle with dozens of Mongolian generals.

Tens of thousands of Dunhuang servants took the lead in launching a fierce offensive against the city wall. Siege towers, ladder vehicles, collision vehicles, ladders, and chariots were all used to attack Yumen Pass.

As long as this fortified pass is captured, the main force of Temujin's Mongolian army can withdraw and turn to attack the Western Regions or Guanlong and Monan.

"The person who defends Yumenguan is the Mu Xu Fengnian of Liangzhou. There are dozens of generals and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, and he can be regarded as a generation of heroes. However, under the offensive of the Great Khan, Yumenguan will definitely fall."

Boer, one of the four cowardices, flattered Temujin.

"Yumen Pass is not so easy to attack. Guanzhong has sent a hundred thousand troops to reinforce Yumen Pass."

Temujin obtained information from Guanzhong, and the news that the last famous local generals of the Han Empire, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, had sent troops to the Hexi Corridor.

The Mongolian general Zhelemer (one of the four mastiffs) personally came to the city to supervise the battle, and used a team of Mongolian cavalry as the supervising team to urge the servant army to attack the city fiercely.

The servant army of Temujin came from the national war and the main world, not only the servant army of Dunhuang, but also the servant army of other civilizations, and even the servant army of Monan. They formed a siege force of 50,000 people to attack Yumen Pass. Launch one attack after another!

The giant siege tower is taller than the city wall of Yumen Pass. Mongolian archers stand on the siege tower, commanding a commanding height.

boom!

The ferocious battering ram slammed into the heavy door, making a dull loud noise, making the defenders tremble in their hearts!

"Be sure to defend the city wall!"

Xu Fengnian, Ma Teng, and Han Sui came to the city wall in person, and after sending all their family members to Xiacheng, they could get out and defend with all their might!

The Xiliang archers released their bows and crossbows, and tens of thousands of arrows shot in salvo, penetrating the servant army below!

When defending the city, you don't need to care what kind of civilized army is under the city. There is no righteous battle in the Spring and Autumn Period, only victory and defeat!

The princes in the pass arranged for Xu Fengnian to guard the Yumen Pass, so he must guard it.

Even if they die in battle, the princes in the gate will treat their families kindly.

Ma Chao pulled the bow, his powerful force made Zhemu's bow body tremble, and a streamer shot out, hitting the head of a Mongolian army centurion.

The centurion who was urging the servants to attack the city wall was killed and fell to the ground, and the morale of the surrounding servants plummeted.

Even the servant army must have a team of generals to supervise, otherwise their morale will be seriously affected.噺⒏⑴The fastest full text of 祌文んττρs:/м.χ8㈠zщ.còм/

"well done!"

Wang Yanzhang and a team of archers arrived and shot arrows at the enemy below with all their strength. The dense rain of arrows took away the lives of hundreds of servants.

A team of Mongolian archers shot arrows at Yumenguan defending archers, trying to suppress the defending archers and gain a chance for the servant army.

This Mongolian archer is commanded by the Mongolian bow generals and has a damage bonus, which brings a lot of losses to the defenders.

Wang Yanzhang shot an arrow at him, and the streamer shot through a guard's shield, killing the guard and almost hitting the Mongolian general. The latter saw that Wang Yanzhang was so fierce, so he retreated out of range and commanded the archers.

boom!

The door closed with another muffled groan, and Han Sui, who was guarding the city wall, turned pale.

Hundreds of servants are pushing the battering ram, breaking through the city gate frontally, putting pressure on the defenders.

"Yumen Pass has been transformed into a Wengcheng structure. Even if they break through the city gate, they will not easily enter the city. You will lead a team of crossbowmen. Once the Mongolian army enters the Wengcheng, shoot them with random arrows."

Xu Fengnian sent Han Sui to guard the Wengcheng.

Although nomadic civilization has higher mobility, war mobilization rate, and the cost of war is lower than farming civilization, farming civilization often has more advanced city defense technology.

Han Sui had a lot of second- and third-rate generals under his command. He was no match for the Mongolian cavalry in field battles. He used fixed-damage crossbows to defend the city.

boom!

With a loud bang, the heavy door was broken under the violent impact of the battering ram, and the broken wood splashed, and a team of servants from Khwarizimo rushed into the city first.

"Han Sui, Jincheng County, Liangzhou, wait for a long time!"

Han Sui and his generals Liang Xing, Cheng Yin and others set up more than a thousand crossbows, pulled the crossbow machine, and the arrows shot out. The bowman's arm shook slightly!

Hundreds of Khwarizimo servants were shot and killed by strong crossbows, and the bodies with crossbow bolts fell to the ground. Genius one second to remember 噺バ一Chinese m.x/8/1/z/w.c/o/m/

Yumen Pass has the structure of an urn city. Even if the first city gate is broken, the Mongolian army has to break through the second city gate.

When attacking the second city gate, they first faced the arrows of the first city wall, and secondly, the second city wall had a semi-circular structure, and the siege troops faced arrows from three sides.

Yumen Pass was reinforced by local guards, and there were also defensive facilities such as stone arrow towers, watch towers, and horse faces. It was difficult for the servants of the Mongolian Empire to capture this pass for a while.

Han Sui and his subordinates shot and killed hundreds of servants who had attacked Wengcheng, then withdrew from Wengcheng and did not dare to enter the city easily.

The main breakthrough of the Mongolian army is still in the city wall.

Under the impetus of the servant army, the siege tower gradually approached the city wall. The tall siege tower cast a shadow, and the defenders were even more afraid of this behemoth.

The advantage of the defenders is that they are condescending, and the height of this siege tower is also above the city wall. The Mongolian marksman deployed at the top of the siege tower can shoot the defenders unscrupulously.

The siege tower also has a drawbridge. As long as you get close to the city wall and put down the drawbridge, a steady stream of servants will flood the city wall.

Xu Fengnian led the Huoya team to release rockets at the siege tower. Thousands of rockets hit the tall siege tower. Most of the rockets were blocked by the cowhide covered on the surface of the siege tower, making it difficult to ignite the siege tower.

A few rockets hit the wooden frame and were extinguished by specially arranged soldiers.

The city wall is strong, and the siege party has also summed up a set of methods to protect the siege equipment.

The siege tower is still approaching, this time Xu Fengnian directly used the bed crossbow and catapult to shoot at the siege tower!

The burly sergeant hit the crossbow machine of the bed crossbow with a hammer, and the thick crossbow arrow hit the siege tower!

Stones weighing dozens of pounds were thrown into the air, and then fell, hitting the archers on the siege tower!

The siege tower was bombarded with crossbows and trebuchets, and finally destroyed, and some of the soldiers deployed in the siege tower were killed.

Before the defenders could cheer, the second and third siege towers soon cast shadows!

The thick suspension bridge fell, and a bridge was formed between the siege tower and the city wall. The servant army hiding in the siege tower killed the city wall!

Xu Fengnian pulled out the ring-headed sword and held the shield in his left hand. He had to kill the siege tower and burn it down!

Wang Yanzhang followed Xu Fengnian, holding an iron spear in his hand, killing more than ten people in a row, blocking the enemy force so that he could not cross the bridge.

The sharpshooters on the siege tower concentrated on Wang Yanzhang, and dozens of arrows covered Wang Yanzhang!

Ma Chao came out with a gun and blocked the rain of arrows!

On the other side, Xu Fengnian's subordinate Yang Shihou led a team of elite infantry to defend the city wall and drive out the enemy troops who climbed the city without moving!

Yang Shihou's army, each soldier held a silver spear, was forbidden by orders, but if anyone climbed the city, they would go forward to fight, and use a dense array of spears to force them back.

"These people really don't know how to live or die!"

Li Hu beheaded a soldier of the servant army, and the ring-headed sword was twisted because it hit the iron armor.

The Mongolian army drove the servant army to attack the city, and regarded this group of servant army as consumables, so they didn't care about the life and death of the servant army, so that the servant army went forward and succeeded, and continuously climbed the city, consuming the defending army.

Stones rolled, kerosene splashed, and from time to time servants fell while climbing the city walls and died.

The iron hook of the cloud ladder car hooked the city wall, and the servant army climbed to the city at the urging of the Mongolian general, and fought with the silver spear Xiaojie, like a moth to a fire.

"The morale of the defenders is high, and it will be difficult to capture Yumen Pass for a while."

Minister Yelu Chucai arrived.

After Tiemuzhen captured Dunhuang County, the government office of Dunhuang County became the center of communication between Mobei, Monan, Tianshan and other places.

"Let Ali Hague be the siege coach, he has bonuses to siege troops and siege equipment."

Temujin gave up personally commanding the troops to attack Yumen Pass, but handed over the command to a general.

"Khan, where are you going?"

Although Yelu Chucai was Temujin's prime minister, he only assisted Temuzhen in managing internal affairs, and persuaded Temujin to pay attention to Confucianism and appease people's hearts. In terms of tactics, he could not provide Temujin with advice.

"Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun came to aid, and I used extraordinary troops to bypass Yumen Pass, pass through the desert and the Gobi, enter the pass from other sections of the Great Wall, and annihilate the reinforcements. There are no reinforcements outside Yumen Pass, and it will be self-defeating without attack."

The siege Mongolian army was replaced by a siege-strengthened leader, and the pressure on the Yumenguan defenders suddenly increased!

If it is Chutian, you will know that there are some generals with characteristics that are suitable for siege, such as Le Yi, and adding bonuses such as the halo, treasures, and non-conflicting lieutenant characteristics of the entire army can provide a large number of bonuses for the siege troops.

For example, under the command of Chu Tian, ​​Le Yi, Le Jin and Ju Yi cooperated.

Ali Hague is a Mongolian general who is good at sieging cities.

When he replaced Temujin in the siege, the power of the siege equipment was strengthened!

Xu Fengnian ordered Wang Yanzhang to break into a siege tower, and the entire siege tower was set on fire, choking black smoke billowing, the entire siege tower was destroyed in one go, and dozens of servants who were too late to escape were burned to death.

Wang Yanzhang protruded from the thick smoke and returned to the city wall.

Xu Fengnian cut down a servant soldier who had climbed the city, and found that the arrow rain of the siege troops and the damage of the siege equipment increased, and the number of defenders who died under the arrow rain of the siege troops increased.

"Did they change the generals who attacked the city..."

Xu Fengnian had rich combat experience and was keenly aware of the changes in the Mongolian army.

"They used the trebuchet!"

The defenders watched in horror as the stones fell from the sky.

The Mongolian army sieging the city used catapults, and there were generals who could increase the power of the catapults. With the help of gravity, the stones weighing dozens of pounds could destroy the corner of the arrow tower!

A crack appeared on one side of the Stone Arrow Tower, the stone fell off, and the defenders below hurriedly dodged.

Round after round of stone bombardment, trying to dismantle all the fortifications, turning the majestic wall of Yumen Pass into a smooth road!

"The power of their trebuchets is higher than before. Is this a hero who can increase the power of trebuchets?"

Xu Fengnian knew that some special heroes had special bonus effects on siege equipment.

The Han Empire also has such heroes, such as Liu Ye, who can provide bonuses for Thunderbolt cars.

"Xiliang, fight to the death!"

In the face of the Mongolian army's offensive, Xu Fengnian had no other choice but to fight to the death, defending the Yumen Pass with all his strength, delaying Temujin here and preventing him from going to other battlefields!

In the tragic attack and defense, on the premise that both sides have certain brains, it is difficult for the strategy to play a role, only the competition of troops and morale.

The Xiliang Legion defended the Yumen Pass, and when the Yumen Pass was closed, corpses were scattered everywhere, and the corpses gradually piled up...

Temujin left with a group of cavalry.

In the Khorasan region of Persia, the Ilkhanate was established, and it attacked the capital of the Persian Empire.

One of the generals used a terrifying trebuchet to destroy a city defended by a large Persian army.

The commander, Tuo Lei, rode a warhorse, and commanded the Mongolian army to invade the city and kill the Persian army fighting in the street.

"With this general, attacking the city is easy."

Tolei was satisfied with the performance of his generals and forced tens of thousands of Persian troops to surrender.

His son Xu Ligu said: "It is said that the Persian emperor announced our crimes to many lords and planned to gather 300,000 soldiers and horses to retake the Khorasan area."

"Defeat the King of Persia, and then defeat the Arabian Empire. West Asia is ours. We looted this city for three days."

To keep the legion's morale high, Tore allowed the city to be plundered.

Kublai Khan hesitated and wanted to persuade his father to drag the thunder, but thinking that the Persian army of 300,000 was approaching, if the morale consumed by the siege of the city was not restored as soon as possible, then the Mongolian army might be defeated.

On the contrary, if the Ilkhanate army and the Persian servant army led by Tuo Lei, Xu Ligu, Meng Ge, Kublai and others can defeat the 300,000 soldiers and horses called by the Persian emperor, then West Asia will become one of the territories of the Mongol Empire. .

The Chagatai Khanate is conquering Central Asia, the Golden Horde is conquering Eastern Europe, and the Okuotai Khanate is conquering the Western Regions, and the heroic quality of the Ili Khanate may be higher than other Khanates, only the main body of the Mongolian Empire Temujin , in order to surpass the Ilkhanate.

The enemy of the Ilkhanate is also an extremely powerful enemy. The ancient Persian Empire and the Arab Empire may be defeated in West Asia if they are not careful.

The general who commanded the siege force to capture the city defended by the Persian defenders sat under a dilapidated siege tower and watched the city become a sea of ​​fire.

This is the thirty-third city he captured in the Persian Empire for Tuo Lei, Xu Liegu and others.

The Persian Empire was terrified of the rapidly expanding Ilkhanate, and 300,000 troops converged from all sides of the empire to the center of the empire.

Some Persian nobles and remnants who fled from the Khorasan region occupied by the Ilkhanate spread fear.

In their description, this group of enemies from the east are three feet tall, like giants, and their trebuchets can destroy city walls and smash mountains and rocks.

The Holy Fallen cavalry, the undead army, the Parthian heavy cavalry, the Parthian archers, and the servants of various tribes gathered together. The pressure faced by the Persian Empire may be even greater than that of the Han Empire.
