Lord of the Gaming World Chapter 565: Temujin’s intention

Seven thousand white robes climbed the city, white clothes and silver armor like snow, repel the enemy soldiers who climbed the city, and retake the city wall and urn city!

Because of the arrival of reinforcements from the general Chu Zimou, the morale of the defenders of Yumenguan soared, and the Mongolian army and the servant army retreated to the rear like the waves of the ebb tide.

The Yumen Pass, which was crumbling before, will stand firm again!

Within a day, the Yumen Pass battle changed its position again and again, and it was not until Chu Tian led reinforcements that the Mongolian army retreated.

Xu Fengnian was almost sitting on the city brick, panting.

The Mongolian Empire's army was temporarily withdrawn, so that Xu Fengnian could finally take a breath. Otherwise, with Tiemuzhen's strength, maybe Yumen Pass would really be captured by the Mongolian cavalry.

He looked around and saw that all the Han army troops guarding Yumen Pass were almost crippled in the tragic battle. The army and servants of Temujin and Ali Hague were killed in action by 100,000. Near Yumen Pass, there were mountains of blood and corpses.

Zhang Xiu and hundreds of Xiliang soldiers took back the body of his father, Zhang Ji, silently.

In this battle, Zhang Ji, a general who was sent to aid Yumen Pass by Ji Jiu Lao Qin, who was the general of Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Army, died in the battle, and Zhang Xiu gritted his teeth.

"The Roman legion killed my obedient father, and he must pay the corresponding price!"

Zhang Xiu still has hatred for the Roman legions.

The Roman legions were all high-level arms. Zhang Ji entered the Roman legion and was killed by the Roman legion.

Xu Fengnian just shook his head at what happened to Zhang Xiu.

In the battle of Yumen Pass, there were countless military commanders killed and wounded, and Zhang Ji was just one of them.

Battles will only get worse, even if the entire army is wiped out.

"Why did the shouting stop? Could it be that the Mongolian army has already entered the pass?"

The injured Zhang He hugged his shoulders, which had been burned by the fire, and tried to get up to fight, but was stopped by his old acquaintance Ju Yi: "Don't worry, the lord's reinforcements are here, we don't have to continue fighting."

"It turns out that the lord is coming, so it seems that most of the Mongolian army will retreat."

Zhang He heard that Chutian was coming, so he lay down at ease.

At present, various abilities are superimposed, and only Chutian is qualified to play cavalry with Temujin.

As expected by Zhang He, the Mongolian army chose to withdraw.

Temujin is still hesitating whether he should fight Chutian.

Tiemuzhen also knew that Chutian was the largest prince of the Han Empire, and if the decisive battle with Chutian failed, the end of the Mongol Empire would soon come.

According to Zhang He's inference, Temujin was still accumulating strength, so he kept avoiding a head-to-head confrontation with Chutian.

"Go and meet Chu Zimou."

After gasping for breath, Xu Fengnian finally got up and went to see Chutian with Ma Teng, Han Sui, Feng Yi, Xie Ai and others.

If it wasn't for the arrival of reinforcements from Chutian, perhaps Yumen Pass would be in ruins by now.

Under the Mongol cavalry offensive, not many people could hold the Yumen Pass, but this group did it!

When Xu Fengnian got up, he almost fell because of the loss of strength. It was Wang Yanzhang who supported Xu Fengnian with one hand, and Xu Fengnian did not fall down.

Chutian dispatched a white-robed army to take the lead to clear the siege of Yumen Pass.

After the White Pao Army dismounts, it can become a light infantry soldier and kill the enemy on the city wall, which is not inferior to the high-level light infantry.

Compared with heavy infantry, although light infantry has low protection, it is faster and consumes less stamina, making it suitable for continuous combat.

Chutian retreated from the Mongolian army and entered Yumen Pass. He found that half of the houses in Yumen Pass were burnt down and in a mess. The city walls and nearby houses were billowing black smoke, obviously after an extremely tragic battle.

The dead, in the tens of thousands.

Collapsed city walls, houses, broken battle flags, broken spears, broken armor...

Chutian has experienced many tragic battles, but the Yumenguan battle is rare.

The Mongolian army's catapults used fire to almost raze the entire Yumen Pass to the ground.

In the age of cold weapons, a tough battle of this scale is not easy.

"Good brother, you really came!"

Xu Fengnian saw that Chu Tian arrived as scheduled. Before the two princes of Jijiu Lao Qin and Mingguan had arrived, Chu Tian came to the rescue first, which was enough to show that Chu Tian attached great importance to Yumen Pass and the Western Regions, as well as Xu Fengnian and others.

Xu Fengnian couldn't help giving Chu Tian a thick hug and patted Chu Tian's shoulder. Not many people could understand the mood of the rest of his life.

Chutian saved his life, so it was life and death.

Originally, Xu Fengnian and Chutian were just trading partners. After the battle of life and death, the foundation of cooperation will be more solid.

Bronze Sparrow and Sun Jian also became friends during the Yellow Turban Rebellion and became brothers of life and death.

Ma Chao looked at Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun who were coming. Ma Chao, who was about to grow up, was almost the same as Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun in both force and appearance. At this time, seeing the two people with similar styles to him, he couldn't help but be attracted to him.

Of course, Ma Chao has not yet reached the peak at this time, and there is still a gap between the two. In Ma Chao's eyes, Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun are the same seniors as Wang Yanzhang.

"It's good to live."

Chu Tian also patted Xu Fengnian on the shoulder to appease the powerful people in Liangzhou.

Xu Fengnian was integrated into the Xiliang family. As the main representative of the Xiliang family, he was the object that Chutian needed to win over.

At the same time, Xu Fengnian dared to stick to the Yumen Pass, defend this pass for the Han Empire, and hold back the 200,000-300,000 Mongolian army, which is not easy.

According to the intelligence obtained by Chutian and his own estimation, there are about 200,000 to 300,000 Mongol troops and their servants entrenched in Dunhuang County, or even more.

Ma Teng took off the blood-stained helmet, and his scalp was injured because he avoided the boulder thrown by the Xiangyang Cannon, but Ma Teng, a descendant of General Fubo Ma Yuan, did not say a word, and asked Chu Tian cautiously: " Xiuer, Tieer and Luer, how are they?"

"They are all in Xiacheng at the moment. Even if we are defeated, there is no fear of life."

Chutian didn't expect that Ma Teng was tall and strong, but he still had strong tenderness.

Chu Tian muttered in his heart that Ma Teng's daughter punched his son, and he didn't care.

I really want to care about it, the daughter's debt to the father...

Ma Teng also has ambition, but as he grows older, the ambition gradually fades. When he heard that his children were safe in Xiacheng, he felt relieved.

"General Zhang He was burnt by the fireball thrown by the trebuchets of the Mongolian army and could not come to see the lord."

Ju Yi replaced Zhang He and came to visit Chutian.

Chutian heard that Zhang He was injured and couldn't help but be shaken. Zhang He was one of the five best generals: "What's so special about the trebuchets used by the Mongolian army, they can actually hurt Zhang He?"

Among the high-level players present, Xu Fengnian, who is a player, is well-informed, and at the same time, as a player, he knows the names of some large-scale siege equipment: "It is very likely that the Xiangyang artillery used by the Mongolian army to capture Xiangyang City, which is the The large counterweight catapult can easily throw boulders weighing several hundred kilograms. The city wall of Yumen Pass was bombed and collapsed by Xiangyang because of its disrepair.”

"Counterweight trebuchet?"

When Chu Tian heard this familiar term, he felt that it was not easy for the defenders.

Currently the most advanced catapult in the Eastern Han Dynasty should be a large catapult from the Song Dynasty (produced by blueprints).

Chutian also obtained a large-scale siege device such as the Eight Bull Crossbow, but compared with the Xiangyang Cannon, it was a little worse.

Historically, Xiangyang City and Fan City blocked the offensive of the Mongolian Empire for several years. The Mongolian army had a big headache for the strong city defense system of the Southern Song Dynasty. Later, they obtained craftsmen from the Western Regions and introduced large counterweight catapults , smashed the walls of Fancheng, and Xiangyang surrendered.

Later, Mengyuan destroyed the Song Dynasty, and the Xiangyang Artillery achieved results in a series of tough battles. The fortresses of the Southern Song Dynasty were destroyed or surrendered one after another.

It can be said that the existence of Xiangyang artillery made up for the shortcomings of the Mongolian army's lack of siege, so even if the Mongolian army slaughtered the city, it rarely slaughtered artisans.

Tiemujin's cavalry, coupled with the Xiangyang Cannon, the most advanced siege equipment in "Lord" at present, will make the Mongol Empire invincible in both field battles and fortifications.

"Not only that, the opponent also has generals who can provide bonuses for siege equipment, similar to Liu Ye. Xiangyang Cannons can also use special attack methods such as fireballs and wolf smoke."

Xu Fengnian thought it necessary to inform Chutian of all the information obtained.

The intelligence of the Mongolian army was obtained by Xu Fengnian and a group of soldiers in exchange for their lives.

"You should be talking about those big guys, that's the Xiangyang Cannon?"

Chutian saw the outline of the Xiangyang Cannon. Fifty Xiangyang Cannons stood. Each large catapult was several meters high, and the tallest one was even more than ten meters. Even compared to the early bronze cannons, it is not inferior.

It is estimated that the inspiration for the bronze cannon is also a large-scale projectile siege device such as a trebuchet. The original bronze cannon fires solid bullets, which are equivalent to the stones of a trebuchet. The stones used are smaller. Correspondingly, the original bronze gun is more convenient to use than the catapult, and the initial speed of the gunpowder is faster.

"No wonder Yumen Pass has almost turned into ruins... Yumen Pass has only been temporarily reinforced. Usually, it is rarely used here, and the city wall has been weathered."

Chutian inspects the city wall of Yumen Pass, and the situation is not optimistic.

In the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were many wars and chaos. All the princes were busy with civil wars and would not care about the fortifications such as Yumen Pass and the Great Wall of the Han Dynasty. After all, the nomadic tribes were weak during this period.

Gongsun Kang led 3,000 cavalry to defeat the 50,000 Fuyu army, and the Southern Xiongnu cavalry was chased and killed by Mongolian cavalry with fewer numbers than himself...

Yumen Pass is also a Xiongguan that was renovated after Xu Fengnian retired to this place. Otherwise, the defense of Yumen Pass would be more fragile.

"The opposite should be Temujin's army. He was chased away by me in Hetao and Monan. In the end, he still wants to fight us in the Western Regions."

Chutian already felt Temujin's hesitation.

Facing the Han army he led, Temujin had no certainty of victory, so Temujin retreated again and again.

The Mongol Empire lost about 100,000 cavalry and 200,000 to 300,000 tribal herdsmen in the defeat of Hetao and Monan, but it was not serious, and Temujin was still accumulating strength.

According to Chutian's inference, Temujin chose to fight the Han Empire at Luntai, Tianshan or Altai Mountains in the Western Regions - in short, far away from the Central Plains.

Tiemuzhen's strategy is similar to that of Xiongnu Yizhi Xie Chanyu in the Battle of Mobei.

The closer you are to the Central Plains, Hebei, and Guanzhong hinterlands of the Han Empire, the easier the Han Empire's army supplies will be.

Even if the Han Empire is defeated, it will soon be possible to raise a large army from these densely populated places to come to the decisive battle with the Mongol Empire.

In the long run, the Mongol Empire will eventually fail.

Therefore, whether Temujin or Xiongnu's Yizhi Xiechanyu, their purpose is to use the mobility of the cavalry as much as possible to lengthen the supply line of the Han Empire.

The longer the supply line, the fewer troops and horses the Han Empire could send, and the greater the pressure it would bear.

To fight at home, the Han Empire can send one or two million troops.

If the battle spans thousands of miles, it is relatively reluctant to dispatch hundreds of thousands of people.

There is a very typical example. Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty conquered Goguryeo. He recruited millions of troops, traveled long distances, and encountered a cold winter.

Li Shimin later only dispatched more than 100,000 elite soldiers to capture more than ten cities in Goguryeo, robbing hundreds of thousands of people and returning home.

The lords of the Han Empire knew this, so Chutian would rather fight at the doorsteps of Bingzhou and Youzhou in relatively close places such as the Hetao Plain and the Monan Grassland, and the cattle provided by the Monan lords Sheep as food.

It's just that Temujin and others also knew this truth. The place he chose to fight was either the Western Regions or the Mobei, both of which were very far away from the Han Empire.

Yi Zhixie Chanyu chose Mobei for the decisive battle with the Han Empire. Chu Tian, ​​Xu Fengnian and others who participated in the battle of Mobei knew how difficult it was to march in Mobei, and Temujin...

"Tiemuzhen intends to use the Protectorate of the Western Regions as a bait to attract us to expeditions, and then annihilate us in the Western Regions. Once the elites of our Han Empire are lost, then Hetao and Monan will be their spheres of influence again."

Xia Xia Liang followed Chutian around, also looking at the counterweight catapult standing west of Yumen Pass.

Xu Fengnian, Ma Teng, Han Sui and others were startled at first, but then nodded.

Chu Tian and Xia Xia Liang's inferences coincided with their faint conjectures, otherwise it would not be possible to explain why Temujin tried his best to avoid decisive battles in Hetao and Monan.

After the Mongol Empire lost tens of thousands of troops in Hetao and Monan, ~IndoMTL.com~ immediately retreated, obviously preserving its strength.

"The Protectorate of the Western Regions is under the control of Huo An. Huo An is really unlucky. If there is no Mongol Empire and four Khanates, maybe he can dominate Central Asia..."

Xu Fengnian finally found someone more unfortunate than him - Huo An, the Protector of the Western Regions.

Huo An had already conquered Wusun Kingdom and Dawan Kingdom, prepared millions of grain and forage, ready to defeat the Seljuk Empire and Khwarizimo and become the hegemon of Central Asia, but the fourth national war fought Disrupting his deployment, the Protectorate of the Western Regions is in jeopardy.

If the Protectorate of the Western Regions is the bait, then Huo An happens to be the Protector of the Western Regions, so he can't be unlucky.

"In other people's position in Huo An, it is very difficult to destroy the Okuotai Khanate under such circumstances, and his main force seems to have not been completely damaged... No matter who is in this position, We must all be saved."

Chu Tian discussed with Xu Fengnian and others to open up the Hexi Corridor and went to the Western Regions, when Zhu Jun, whose armor was stained with blood, arrived with a sad expression: "General Huangfu Song, I'm afraid it won't work..." /
