Lord of the Gaming World Chapter 578: Luntai City
Luntai City is being besieged by the army of Wo Kuotai and Yelu Dashi.
Before attacking Cheshi Kingdom, Temujin agreed with Wo Kuotai's proposal to obtain Xiangyang Cannons to attack Luntai City, and sent craftsmen to Wo Kuotai's army to manufacture Xiangyang Cannons for him.
The Xiangyang Cannon is a level 9 siege weapon with amazing destructive power.
When the expeditionary force of the Han Empire was busy assembling its troops, dozens of Xiangyang artillery pieces had already risen from the ground and launched a fierce bombardment on Luntai City!
Stones weighing several hundred kilograms were thrown out by the trebuchet, like falling meteors!
Boom!
As the city wall trembled, a large piece of city brick cracked and fell off, and the sand and dust filled the air. All Luntai City defenders trembled in their hearts!
This is the defender of the Protectorate of the Western Regions. This is the first time I have seen the powerful Xiangyang Cannon!
Since Temujin has already induced the Han Empire to send an expeditionary force, there is no need to continue besieging Luntai.
In order to capture Luntai City at one time, Wo Kuotai directly used boulders, fireballs, wolf smoke and other means to raze Luntai City to the ground!
Dozens of fireballs fell, dragging billowing black smoke, spinning rapidly in the air, contacting the air, burning quickly, and crashing on the city wall!
Boom!
Fireballs shatter, rubble flies, sparks scatter!
"Ahhhh!!"
The defending soldiers who were splashed by the flames on their armor were covered in flames and rolled on the city wall, trying to suppress the flames on their bodies.
The guard with a wooden barrel hurriedly scooped water with a wooden spoon to extinguish the flames.
With a snort, the flames on the burning guard soldiers were extinguished, and the place burned by the flames was already a scorch.
Boom! boom! boom!
More fireballs fell, rubble and flames everywhere.
A fireball hit the arrow tower in Luntai City, directly destroying a corner of the arrow tower. The flames spread on the arrow tower, and the archers standing on the arrow tower hurriedly fled for their lives.
Huo An looked up at the sky. The fireballs thrown by the Xiangyang Cannon were like bolides, spinning and falling at high speed, causing Luntai City to tremble constantly.
Wokuotai was completely angered by Huo An, and obviously wanted to raze Huo An's Luntai City to the ground, just like the royal city of the Ogotai Khanate was also treated like Mili City.
Huo An destroyed his khanate, so Okuotai will also destroy Huo An's Protectorate of the Western Regions!
"Let the fire burn down the Luntai, and turn the Luntai into broken walls and ruins."
Wo Kuotai watched the boulders and fireballs thrown by dozens of Xiangyang cannons constantly bombarding Luntai City.
Xiangyang artillery bombarded Luntai City for several days, and at least thousands of defenders died under the fire caused by the boulders or fireballs of the Xiangyang artillery.
Not only the defenders, but many wooden houses in Luntai City were burnt down by the projectile fireballs, and at least hundreds of people died in the sea of fire.
Yelu Dashi was very interested in the giant siege equipment used by the Mongolian army. It was the first time that he knew that the Mongolian army possessed such a siege weapon.
"Not only does the Great Khan have this kind of catapult, but the Ilkhanate also has tow mines, so he can be invincible and invincible in West Asia. The Great Khan is really good to tow mines, and he will not The young elite cavalry was handed over to Tuo Lei, and he planned to hand over the country's important affairs to Tuo Lei."
Wo Kuotai was very dissatisfied with Temujin's use of the most powerful tow mine among the four sons.
The current Torrey is at war with the Persian Empire, shocking the Persian and Arabian regions, causing Persia and Arabia to join forces.
On the other hand, Wokuotai was destroyed by a capital of the Han Empire.
This made Wo Kuotai unable to lift his head in front of the Temujin masters.
The more Wokuotai thought about it, the more angry he became, he pulled out his gold-encrusted saber: "Take Luntai, and allow three days to loot Luntai! Take back your family, cattle, sheep, and forage. Except for the Protectorate, all the gold and silver in the city is allowed. , food, and women are your property!"
"Kill!"
The army of the Ogotai Khanate, who destroyed the country, was holding back a surge of anger. Three days after Ogotai decided to allow them to sack Luntai City, they had high fighting spirit and planned to attack Luntai City, loot Luntai City, and make up for it. Huo An's fire is also the loss caused to them by Mili City!
woo-
The sound of the horn reverberated in the sky above Luntai City. The 100,000 Mongolian troops, as well as their servants in nearby villages, towns, and tribes, marched forward one after another, like moths to the flames, with Luntai City as the center, launching a charge!
As long as they capture Luntai City, they can not only recapture the property that originally belonged to them, but also sack Luntai City, the most prosperous city in the Protectorate of the Western Regions!
"Stay strong in this city, otherwise once the city is broken, all the people in the city will suffer!"
Huo An knew that the situation was critical. At this time, if the defenders did not fight hard and the Mongolian army broke the city, Huo An could not imagine the consequences.
Gao Xianzhi led the Anxi army and fired arrows at the densely packed Mongolian army and its servant army on the city wall!
Thousands of arrows were fired at once. Under the blow of a fireball like a bolide, they counterattacked the Mongolian army, and the arrows shot out of the sky!
An arrow fell, killing some of the enemy soldiers who were attacking the city!
Temujin supported a large number of craftsmen in Wo Kuotai and Yelu Dashi. In addition to making Xiangyang cannons, these artisans were also building siege towers, ladder vehicles, ballistas and other siege equipment.
The siege tower cast a shadow, and under the impetus of hundreds of servant soldiers, it slowly approached Luntai City.
All the defenders of Luntai City looked at more than a dozen siege towers.
The siege tower is like a behemoth, one head higher than the city wall. The Mongolian archers standing on the siege tower can look down on the defenders on the city wall.
The siege tower cooperated with the Xiangyang artillery, and the threat to the defenders reached the extreme.
The defenders of Luntai City swallowed subconsciously.
The boulders and fireballs are still bombarding Luntai City. If this wooden behemoth approaches the city wall again, Luntai City is likely to fall.
"Firebolt team, bed crossbows, trebuchets, destroy siege towers!"
Huo An used all means of defending the city to persevere.
A team of Fire Arrows fired rockets at the siege tower. Hundreds of rockets covered the siege tower and shot several archers standing on the siege tower!
Bed crossbows and trebuchets use thick crossbow arrows and huge stones to bombard siege towers and destroy them directly with brute force!
Accompanied by Xiangyang artillery and siege towers to attack Luntai City, there are also ladder trucks and hundreds of simple ladders. In order to increase the pressure on the defenders, Okuotai directed the siege troops to besiege from all directions.
On each city wall, there is a commander who supervises the siege of the city!
The Mongolian army braved the rain of arrows from the defenders and desperately approached the city wall. The iron hooks of the ladder hooked the city wall. Soldiers holding round shields climbed the city wall and fought fiercely with the defenders on the city wall!
The defenders threw rolling stones and wood, and the huge yaksha slammed up and down, smashing the enemy soldiers who were attacking the city to death.
The ant-like siege troops suffered heavy casualties. Under the city walls, corpses piled up like mountains.
However, even so, there were still enemy soldiers who attacked the city walls and fought with the defenders.
Huo An personally held a long spear and assassinated a Mongolian servant army who was attacking the city.
"This is a soldier of Wusun! King Wusun betrayed me!"
Huo An's force is not too low. He could clearly see the armor of the enemy soldiers killed by him. They were clearly soldiers of the Wusun Kingdom, which is relatively powerful among the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions.
King Wusun, King Loulan and other kings of the servant army of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions were in charge of breaking the queen. Among them, King Loulan was killed by Yelu Dashi, nobles of Dawan were killed in battle, and King Wusun was captured by Okuotai.
The soldiers of Wusun Kingdom were regarded as servants by Ogotai and Yelu Dashi to attack the city, so it is very likely that the captured King Wusun had betrayed Huo An and served for Ogotai and Yelu Dashi.
In the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions, some people are willing to fight to the death for Huo An, and some people are not loyal.
After King Wusun was conquered by Huo An, he was captured by Okuotai again.
"King Wusun, if we didn't have you to lead the way, it might not be so easy for us to advance to Luntai City. When Luntai City is captured, I will report your military exploits to the Great Khan, so that Wusun State can be restored. At the same time, Huo An's family members are all gifted to you."
Wokuotai was next to the pale-faced King Wusun.
King Wusun witnessed King Loulan being killed and chose to surrender, but he was not very willing to offend the old master Huo An.
King Wusun said with an ugly face: "Huo An's family should be in the south-central region of the Han Empire. After the capture of Luntai City, I just asked the Great Khan to give our tribe a grassland for grazing. As for Huo An's family, please let the sweat go..."
"Occupying the Protectorate of the Western Regions, the Han Empire will sooner or later be ours, and the South and Central regions will also surrender to our frontiers."
O Kuotai sneered at King Wusun when he saw that he was weak.
From Ogotai's point of view, only Yelu Dashi, who has the ability and strategy of commander-in-chief, is necessary to win over, and the Wusun King in front of him, with his weak character and mediocre ability, is at most only a servant.
"Call..."
Huo An killed seven enemy soldiers who had climbed the city in a row, burned down two ladders, was out of breath, and was almost hit by a stray arrow.
A wounded Han general could not take a rest and went to the city in person to see Huo An. He saw that Huo An was besieged by a Mongolian centurion with more than a dozen Wusun soldiers, so he bent his bow and shot an arrow, killing the Mongolian centurion among them.
"Chen Tang, your injury is serious, you must not come to the city wall."
Huo An glimpsed that the military general who came to help was the Han general Chen Tang. Chen Tang was besieged by Wo Kuotai and Yelu Dashi, and his injuries have not yet recovered.
At this time, Chen Tang came to the city wall wounded and still shot a Mongolian centurion.
"Lord Protector, if this continues, Luntai City will not be able to hold on for too long..."
As the top three generals under Huo An, Chen Tang's ability declined after being injured. He saw that Luntai City was bombarded by Xiangyang artillery and was devastated, and he couldn't help shaking his heart.
The power of the Xiangyang Cannon exceeded the imagination of the defenders of Luntai City.
If Wo Kuotai and Yelu Dashi did not have the military craftsmen supported by Temujin, it would be more than enough to stick to Luntai City for half a year.
However, the military craftsmen supported by Temujin built siege equipment for Okuotai and Yelu Dashi, which caused a considerable threat to Luntai City.
"What do you think should be done?"
Huo An stabbed a Wusun soldier to death with a spear and asked Chen Tang.
Chen Tang also held a long spear in his hand and fought side by side with Huo An: "Send a cavalry to break through the siege and try to attract reinforcements. If a reinforcement army enters the city, the morale of the defenders in the city will be boosted, and the Mongolian attacking the city will be boosted. The morale of the army will be reduced, and it will be easier to defend the city. Even the Mongolian army outside the city will be shaken and give up attacking Luntai City.”
Huo An drew his spear, and the soldiers of Wusun fell: "Even so, I don't know if the princes in the pass will come to help in time. If they don't come to the Western Regions, only the troops of the Cheshi Kingdom will be unable to break through the Mongolia outside the city. Army, enter the city!"
"This is indeed a problem. It would be nice if we could know the situation in Che Shiguo."
Chen Tang killed another enemy soldier.
Suddenly, Huo An looked into the air and saw a black war eagle in the sky above Luntai City, fighting with the war eagle of Tanma Chi, breaking through the blockade of the war eagle of Tanma Chi, and quickly swept down!
"Iron Eagle Scout's War Eagle, and the Eagle King!"
Huo An has cooperated with Chutian more than once, so he is very familiar with the war eagles of the Iron Eagle Scouts.
Just like the hierarchy of human civilization, even animals have their own hierarchy. The Iron Eagle Scout has many war eagles, among which the war eagle raised by Hua Mulan is the eagle king among all the war eagles of the Iron Eagle Scout.
Only Hua Mulan's war eagle can fight against Tanma Chi's war eagle, and it can also break through the blockade of several Tanma Chi war eagles and land on Huo An's shoulders smoothly.
If you see the war eagle of the Iron Eagle Scout here, it often means that the special cavalry Iron Eagle Scout is in the Western Regions at this time, and it also indirectly means that Chutian, who is behind the Iron Eagle Scout, leads an expeditionary force to support the Western Regions Protectorate.
Now that Chutian arrives, the rest of the northern princes should not be indifferent.
Huo An excitedly took out the note from the paper tube tied to the eagle's claws, and saw the small print on it, half happy and half worried.
"How?"
Whether Chen Tang, Gao Xianzhi, or ordinary Western Regions Protector General, all looked at Huo An.
This piece of paper may decide the fate of Luntai City and the life or death of the Protectorate of the Western Regions.
"Two pieces of news, one good and one bad." Huo An took a deep breath. "The good news is that the princes in Guannei sent 500,000 troops to support Luntai."
"Hey, half a million troops...!"
The morale of the defenders of Luntai City was boosted.
This is the main force of 500,000!
The entire Western Regions Protectorate does not have so many main forces!
If there is such a large number of main forces to come to support, then the siege of Okuotai and Yelu Dashi on Luntai City may be lifted.
Chen Tang knew that this was not necessarily complete information: "So bad news?"
What Huo An was worried about was the bad news: "The bad news is that the reinforcements are still between the country of Cheshi and the country of Yanqi. Temujin has occupied the country of Yanqi. If the reinforcements want to relieve us, they must retake the country of Yanqi. Behind the reinforcements, there are also cavalry from Subutai. Before the reinforcements arrive, we have to try to defend Luntai City."
Chen Tang, Gao Xianzhi, and other generals in the Protectorate of the Western Regions all fell silent.
Temujin will not necessarily give up the state of Yanqi, but may stick to Yanqi and block the expeditionary army of the Han Empire.
After the Han Empire sent an expeditionary army, Luntai City had lost its value of siege, and the Mongolian army would recklessly capture Luntai City.
"Luntai City cannot be lost. Once Luntai City is lost, it will destroy not only the Protectorate of the Western Regions, but also the 500,000 expeditionary troops. If they go deep into the Western Regions and Luntai falls, they will be trapped in a siege, unable to advance or retreat. "
Huo An took out a recruitment order.
This is a special hero recruitment order. It is a reward that Huo An received after he captured the royal city of the Okuotai Khanate, Yemili City.
This recruitment order guarantees the recruitment of king-level heroes.
However, the special thing about this recruitment order is that it has a cooldown.
The reward can only be used three months after the fall of the Ogodei Khanate.
"Gan Yanshou, you led a team of cavalry, broke through the encirclement, joined the reinforcements, informed the reinforcements of the situation in Luntai City, and led them to attack the enemy!"
Huo An hesitated for a while and decided to send Chen Tang's partner, Han general Gan Yanshou, to contact reinforcements.
The small note of the war eagle can only convey very limited information~IndoMTL.com~Here! "
Gan Yanshou led a team of Han cavalry and assembled at a city gate.
"Take care."
Chen Tang clenched his fists towards Gan Yanshou.
Their combination is like Gongsun Ao and Wei Qing, Zhao Ponu and Huo Qubing.
"When I bring the reinforcements back to Luntai City, don't hold the city during this time."
Gan Yanshou held the red spear in his hand, said goodbye to Chen Tang, and then led three hundred Han to ride out of the city!
The Dongcheng Gate suddenly opened. When the Mongolian army rushed to attack Luntai, Gan Yanshou did not retreat but advanced.
"Stop them!"
Commander Wan, who soon presided over the attack on the city wall, sensed Gan Yanshou's intentions and sent a reserve team.
A group of Mongolian light cavalry came to intercept.
"Be sure to rush out..."
Huo An was on the city wall, looking heavily at Gan Yanshou, who broke through the encirclement, and the Mongolian cavalry who rushed to intercept the three hundred Han cavalry.
Gan Yanshou stabbed the oncoming cavalry to death. The spear could not be drawn out, and another enemy cavalry stabbed. Gan Yanshou had no choice but to pull out the ring-headed sword and block the spear.
All the cavalrymen who followed Gan Yanshou fought to the death!
The Mongolian cavalry did not seem to expect that a team of cavalry would break through at this time. Unprepared, Gan Yanshou cut a few people and broke through. The cavalry behind Gan Yanshou killed more than 100 people.
"Gan Yanshou successfully broke through!"
All the defenders of Luntai City pin their hopes on Gan Yanshou. After he successfully breaks through the siege, he may be able to join the reinforcements arriving from the pass along the direction of the eagles of the Iron Eagle Scouts!
