Lord of the Gaming World Chapter 540: Dunhuang War

Jiuquan County, Yumen Pass, has defensive facilities such as Guancheng, beacon towers, and the Great Wall. The ancient city walls are full of wind and frost marks.

Xu Fengnian had limited control over Jiuquan County. After being driven by Jijiu Lao Qin to Jiuquan County and Dunhuang County, he strengthened his control over Jiuquan County, Dunhuang County and Zhangye County.

Jiuquan County and Dunhuang County are located between the Western Regions and Guanlong, also known as the Hexi Corridor. Once Jiuquan County and Dunhuang County fall, the connection between the Western Regions and Guanlong will be cut off.

Yumen Pass is another important node.

When the Han Dynasty sent troops to control the Western Regions, they had to pass through Yumen Pass.

If Yumen Pass is lost, the teleportation formations in the Western Regions and Central Plains may fail.

The reason why it is possible is mainly because I have not tried the situation of Yumen Pass falling.

Xu Fengnian took Li Hu, Yang Shihou and other generals to stand on the city wall of Yumen Pass, overlooking Dunhuang County to the west of Yumen Pass.

He stationed 40,000 troops at Yumen Pass, guarding the important pass between the Western Regions and Guanlong for the Han Empire.

"In the past, thirteen soldiers returned to the Jade Gate, how magnificent. I didn't expect that one day, I would guard the Jade Gate for the empire."

Xu Fengnian felt a heavy sense of mission.

In 74 AD, the Northern Xiongnu Shanyu sent 20,000 elite soldiers to attack the Western Regions and surrounded the city of Shule, where only a few hundred Han troops were stationed.

The Han army held on until the arrival of reinforcements from Xiliang. When the Han army defending the city returned to Yumen Pass, there were only 13 people left in ragged clothes.

This is the famous thirteen soldiers returning to Yumen.

Xu Fengnian had far more troops than the Han army at that time, but his opponent also changed from the Northern Huns to a more powerful Mongolian Empire.

"The Mongol Empire scattered the tribes in Mobei to pastures and grasslands. They used war eagles for simple communication. The speed of the scouts sent by the various princes to transmit information dropped significantly... Temujin must have been affected by foreigners. Inspired by , pays attention to secrecy. If he disperses all the tribes to various places and moves frequently, it means that he will have a big move..."

Xu Fengnian inferred his strategic intentions from Temujin's actions.

In the wild, the player's system is subject to a lot of restrictions, especially the communication system cannot be used.

In this way, it will be extremely difficult to capture Temujin's traces and deployments in time on the vast grasslands.

Temujin deliberately hid his whereabouts, but in fact it also revealed a little - Temujin, who knew that he would become the conqueror of the world after the third national war, began to act.

"It's really disturbing...where are Wang Yanzhang and Ma Chao at this time?"

Xu Fengnian asked Li Hu.

As the ancestor of Li Shimin, Li Hu was a cavalry hero in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and he was a cavalry hero.

Li Hu replied: "They were patrolling outside Yumen Pass, and it is said that a Mongolian cavalry appeared in Dunhuang County in the west."

"Dunhuang County..."

Xu Fengnian felt inexplicably restless.

To the west of Yumen Pass is Dunhuang County. Once Dunhuang County is captured, it will cut off the connection between the Western Regions and the Central Plains.

Controlling the Hexi Corridor is often a prelude to the annexation of the Western Regions by nomadic civilizations.

Once the Western Regions are lost, the territory of the Han Empire will be lost. To regain the Western Regions, a lot of troops, gold, silver, and provisions will be required.

That's why Ji Jiu Lao Qin allowed Xu Fengnian to stay in Dunhuang County and Jiuquan County.

Even Jiujiu Lao Qin didn't have so many generals to defend the Hexi Corridor with all his strength, so he could only use Xu Fengnian's power.噺⒏⑴The fastest full text of 祌文んττρs:/м.χ8㈠zщ.còм/

Xu Fengnian knew that he was being used, but he had to guard the Yumen Pass.

If he can stick to the Yumen Pass, with this credit, no matter which prince he joins in the future, he can become a general.

"Who is the old Qin faction guarding Wuwei County? Xie Ai?"

Xu Fengnian probably knew that Xie Ai was a wise general, and could be considered a bit capable.

What he is worried about is that Wuwei County will be occupied by Xixia forces, which will also cut off the Hexi Corridor.

The Hexi Corridor is extremely narrow and long. Dunhuang County, Jiuquan County, Zhangye County, and Wuwei County all belong to the Hexi Corridor. The loss of any county is equivalent to cutting off the Hexi Corridor.

To the west of Yumen Pass, Wang Yanzhang, Ma Chao, and Han Sui came to inspect the land of Dunhuang County, and migrated the population of Dunhuang County to Dunhuang County, the seat of Dunhuang County. Some of the population migrated to Yumenguan and Jiuquan County, enriching the population of Yumenguan and Jiuquan County.

Xiliang's iron cavalry patrolled, Ma Chao was a little older, holding a long spear in his hand, brocade clothing and silver armor, and force began to approach Wang Yanzhang.

With Wang Tiegun as his teacher, Ma Chao's potential has been developed, and his spear skills have also improved.

"It is said that the Mongolian cavalry was active near here, but they did not see a single shadow of the Mongolian cavalry. Could it be that they heard that I was waiting to come, so they fled?"

Han Sui and his generals looked around. Many places were the Gobi Desert, there were also grasslands, and mountains in the distance.

If it wasn't for the betrayal of a traitor, Han Sui would not have been reduced to guarding the frontier, but Han Sui could still accept it, and Xu Fengnian still reused it.

"Be careful with the cavalry of the Mongol Empire."

Wang Yanzhang participated in the third national war and knew the horror of the Mongolian Empire.

The Mongol Empire was scary not only with its cavalry, but also with Genghis Khan's ability to control his minions.

In the Mongol Empire and the four major Khanates, the Mongol cavalry is the core combat power, but on the periphery of the core combat power are countless servant armies.

These minions consist of infantry and cavalry, and some artisans.

Even if the Mongol Empire and the Four Khanates slaughtered the city, they generally did not kill the artisans. They also needed artisans to produce weapons and siege equipment.

"How could the Mongolian cavalry go to Dunhuang in the Tianshan Mountains and Monan?"

Han Sui muttered.

"Urgent report, fifty miles to the north, a border town was captured by Mongolian cavalry!"

Just as Han Sui was complaining, a small group of scout cavalry quickly went south and informed Wang Yanzhang and Han Sui.

"They did appear, follow me to a meeting!" First post https://https://

"General, there are about 3,000 Mongolian cavalry soldiers, so don't underestimate the enemy."

"Go and tell the lord."

"Yes!"

"If the situation is not favorable, we will retreat again."

Wang Yanzhang's courage was astonishing. After a little hesitation, he decided to use it to test the Mongolian cavalry.

The situation will be extremely bad if the Mongol cavalry attacking Dunhuang County is not thoroughly investigated.

The Mongol Empire has unified the use of war eagles for command, and Temujin's orders are directly communicated to the various commanders through war eagles. Even the commander-in-chief does not know the content of the order.

In addition, the Mongolian cavalry is often stationed in the field (the player system is limited in the field), and they travel hundreds of miles a day, and their whereabouts are uncertain. It takes a long time for the scouts to send the information back in time, and the information is often out of time.

Wang Yanzhang couldn't get accurate information, so he could only go on an adventure to find out in person.

The frontier fortresses of the entire Han Empire, from the Western Regions to Liaodong, stretched tens of thousands of miles, and there were breaches everywhere, showing the great pressure of defense.

Wang Yanzhang had 10,000 cavalry, and Han Sui had 20,000 cavalry, and quickly marched toward the border town where the Mongolian cavalry attacked.

"You should respond from behind. If I am in danger, I will send a loud arrow before I respond."

Wang Yanzhang had a premonition of danger, so Han Sui, who was less powerful, led the Xiliang cavalry to support him.

Han Sui had more than ten generals under his command. Many of these generals were historical generals, but few were famous.

"Ma'er, you and Han Sui stay behind to join us as teachers."

Wang Yanzhang regarded Ma Chao as his adopted son, worried that the soldiers who went to test the Mongol Empire would be in danger, so he let Ma Chao stay.

Ma Chao stubbornly said: "No, I want to go with me!"

"This is a military order, the military order is like a mountain!"

Wang Yanzhang reprimanded that Ma Chao, although arrogant by nature, regarded Wang Yanzhang as a teacher, so he no longer insisted.

Han Sui held Ma Chao's shoulders: "It's not that we can't help after we stay. It's because we stay that General Wang can go to test it."

Wang Yanzhang also took this opportunity to warn Ma Chao: "Besides the charge, it is equally important to stabilize the rear. If you don't understand this, you will definitely suffer in the future."

"General Wang, I will send Cheng Yi to you. This person can serve as a lieutenant."

Han Sui handed a member of the Xiliang general to Wang Yanzhang's command.

A cavalry armed with a sword would ride away from Han Sui's army and clasped his fists at Wang Yanzhang: "Cheng Yi is willing to obey the general's orders!"

Wang Yanzhang was quite satisfied with Cheng Yi and said, "Okay, you come with me, but don't be careful."

"Yes!"

Wang Yanzhang and Cheng Yi led 10,000 light cavalry troops, and he left the Houliang Longxiang army and the Xiliang iron cavalry to Ma Chao.

Wang Yanzhang really had a bad feeling.

If you bring heavy cavalry to test it, it will be a burden.

In a small town in the northern part of Dunhuang County, a Mongolian cavalry general captured the city, but did not rush to plunder.

Temujin's chief minister Yelu Chucai persuaded Temujin to give up the massacre of the city in order to appease the conquered city and recruit a servant army.

At present, Temujin's methods are still moderate, and the Mongolian generals who broke through this border town are restrained and greatly dissatisfied.

"A cavalry from the Western Liang Dynasty came, about 10,000 in number."

"They really came, looted the town's gold and silver food, and then retreated."

The Mongol generals immediately ordered the retreat.

This Mongolian cavalry number is only about 3,000. After they captured a second-class town and plundered the wealth, they had no time to take the population, so they retreated hastily.

The Liangzhou cavalry was brave and not inferior to the ordinary Mongolian cavalry. If this group of Mongolian cavalry underestimates the enemy, it is also possible that the entire army will be wiped out in Dunhuang County.

Three thousand Mongolian cavalrymen withdrew from the town, with gold, silver, and forage plundered from secondary towns hanging between their saddles.

The Mongolian nobles fought fiercely, and because of this they could plunder the spoils, so they continued to conquer new lands.

If there is no reward for fighting, no one wants to fight to the death unless it is for the sake of faith.

When Wang Yanzhang and Cheng Yi's cavalry arrived, this second-level town was in a mess, and there were a lot of property scattered on the way the Mongolian cavalry retreated.

"They have just left, and their whereabouts are in a hurry. You can follow them."

Wang Yanzhang made a rough judgment, and then rushed forward to catch up with Cheng Yi as soon as possible.

"General, the Xiliang cavalry is catching up! It's less than ten miles away from our army!"

"If they have the guts, let them chase after them."

The Mongolian general did not panic when he learned that a Western Liang cavalry was chasing him.

Three thousand Mongolian cavalry flee, Wang Yanzhang and Cheng Yi are in hot pursuit.

Wang Yanzhang's warhorse is of high quality. It is a steed bestowed by Xu Fengnian to him, and he can already see the sand and dust raised by the Mongolian cavalry.

It was June, and the Gobi was hot and dry. The high temperature distorted the air. Thousands of war horses galloped past, and the gravel trembled.

The Mongolian cavalry looked back, and saw a fierce general single-handedly chasing him, and behind this fierce general, there was a large group of Xiliang cavalry.

If the Mongol cavalry turned back to meet Wang Yanzhang, they might be overtaken by the fierce Xiliang cavalry and then wiped out.

10,000 Xiliang cavalry, led by a fierce general, may wipe out 3,000 Mongolian cavalry, the probability is not low.

The Mongolian general said to a commander: "You lead a cavalry and kill him."

Among the three thousand Mongolian cavalry, about one-tenth of their strength, that is, three hundred Mongolian cavalry, led by a Mongolian captain, deliberately slowed down and shot arrows at Wang Yanzhang.

Dozens of arrows were shot at Wang Yanzhang, and Wang Yanzhang used an iron spear to easily knock these arrows into the air.

Among them, one or two arrows hit Wang Yanzhang's iron armor, but were bounced off by the thick iron armor without hurting him in the slightest.

Wang Yanzhang's weapons and armor are of high quality.

When these Mongolian cavalrymen were about to shoot Wang Yanzhang, Wang Yanzhang clamped the horse's belly, used his spurs to urge the horse to speed up, and slammed into the broken Mongolian cavalry, with a heavy 100-pound iron spear!

The two Mongolian cavalrymen were hit hard, and they fell from their horses together because they couldn't bear the tremendous force!

Kill two Mongol cavalry with one shot!

The Mongolian commander and several centurions subconsciously swallowed their saliva. This fierce general is likely to be the number one general under the command of Xu Fengnian, a prince of the Han Empire who guards Yumen Pass, according to the intelligence, Wang Tiegun!

Even the Mongol Empire ~IndoMTL.com~ called Wang Yanzhang Wang Tiegun, just because Wang Tiegun's weapons were impressive.

The two 100-pound iron spears, in Wang Tiegun's hands, were as heavy as light.

"We may not be able to kill three hundred of us..."

Before a centurion could say his words, a hundred-pound iron spear had already been swung over, and he was smashed to death with one shot!

The centurion fell from his horse and lost his breath.

Wang Yanzhang grabbed 300 Mongolian cavalry alone to fight, and the iron spear stabbed left and right, killing dozens of cavalry in a row, the Mongolian commander and his cavalry were frightened.

Wang Yanzhang's force, I am afraid that few generals of the Mongol Empire can resist.

Only enough troops can be used to encircle Wang Yanzhang.

The three hundred Mongolian cavalry did not dare to stop fighting Wang Yanzhang, because behind Wang Yanzhang there were ten thousand Xiliang light cavalry led by Cheng Yi.

The Mongol generals who captured the town from time to time turned their heads and saw Wang Tiejian's defeat of the three hundred Mongolian cavalry who had been in trouble.

It turns out that there are such fierce generals in Xiliang.

The Mongol Empire did not lack some commanders, but it lacked Wang Yanzhang's strong generals.

"If I could take it captive..."

The Mongolian commander made some plans, but then rejected the idea, because according to the intelligence of the spies, Wang Yanzhang was a loyal person. Even if he died in battle, he would not betray his lord and could not surrender.

"Then, let him die. Only in this way can Yumen Pass be captured."
