Lord of the Gaming World Chapter 582: Gan Yanshou’s request for help
"Huo Qubing, Wang Xuance and others actually captured the country of Yanqi. They are indeed offensive generals."
When Chu Tian joined forces with Mu Ke and Xu Fengnian and arrived in Yanqi State, Huo Qubing and others' cavalry raid tactics achieved victory and expelled the defenders of the Mongolian general Ali Hague stationed in Yanqi State.
At the same time, Temujin lost Yanqi State, a supply point at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, so he had to withdraw to Luntai City.
Cheshi Kingdom, Yanqi Kingdom, and Luntai Kingdom, this front has been opened up, and there is no city to stop the Han Empire's expeditionary army from rescuing the Luntai Kingdom!
As long as you take rest and supplies in the country of Yanqi, you can reach the country of Luntai, fight the main force of the Mongolian Empire, and lift the siege of the Mongolian Empire on Luntai City!
Luntai City has been besieged for quite some time. According to the judgment of Chutian and other Han lords, if the Mongolian army attacking the city uses counterweight trebuchets, plus other siege equipment, Huo An's It is also difficult for Luntai City to hold on for a long time.
At present, there are hundreds of thousands of Mongolian cavalry assembled in Luntai, which is equivalent to the main force of all the Mongolian Empire in the Western Regions, as well as the main cavalry of the two Khanates, all assembled in Luntai City!
This time, even people like Huo Qubing, Wang Xuance and others would not dare to lead tens of thousands of cavalry to raid Luntai, otherwise it would be easy to fall into the siege of hundreds of thousands of Mongolian cavalry and finally be defeated and killed. Not only will it not be possible to lift the siege of the Mongolian army on Luntai City, but the entire army will be annihilated.
"My lord, there is a Han army cavalry squad coming from the direction of Luntai City!"
"It should be the cavalry team sent by Huo An to pass information to us, come and greet us!"
The city gate of Yanqi State opened, and a Han army cavalry broke into Yanqi State. The Han general, who led the team, was severely injured. After entering Yanqi State, he fell from the back of a horse!
"General!"
The cavalry of the Han army hurriedly dismounted and helped Gan Yanshou, who was dripping with blood.
"Go and call for a doctor!"
Chen Qingzhi led a small white-robed army to greet him and found that the Han general Gan Yanshou was injured and fell off his horse. At this time, only the genius doctor Hua Tuo could bring him back to life!
The genius doctor Hua Tuo followed the expeditionary army to save lives and heal the wounded, and was highly respected in the expeditionary army of the Han Empire.
"The general was hit by six arrows, but luckily he didn't hit the key point, and his life was not in danger. It just takes a period of recuperation, otherwise the injury will not be fully healed."
Hua Tuo inspected Gan Yanshou's body and put herbs and healing medicines on him to stop the bleeding and prevent his injuries from getting worse.
"The situation in Luntai City is in critical condition, so why waste time on healing! I want to see the general!"
Gan Yanshou was entrusted by Huo An and came to ask for help.
"Alas..."
Hua Tuo found that many generals were quite irritable, especially some people regarded death as home and didn't care about their injuries.
This makes it difficult for physicians to do well.
"General Gan risked to break through the siege, please don't worry, this general will lead his troops to rescue Luntai City."
Chu Tian arrived with Dian Wei and other guards.
He had already learned from the surviving Han army cavalry that Gan Yanshou led 300 cavalry to break through the siege and came to look for the expeditionary army of the Han Empire. On the way, he encountered Temujin's cavalry, which was also intercepted by Gan Yanshou's cavalry. Lost again.
Three hundred cavalrymen set off from Luntai City, and only thirteen cavalrymen successfully merged with Chu Tian and others, and the death rate exceeded 90%!
This cavalry, almost at the risk of annihilation, came out to deliver information!
In this regard, Chu Tian was in awe.
The Protectorate of the Western Regions alone held up the months-long offensive of the Mongol Empire and the two Khanates, and all the generals have done their best.
Gan Yanshou nearly died.
"What is the specific situation of Luntai City?"
The information from Huo An through the war eagle is extremely brief. It is better to know the details of the defense of Luntai City directly from Gan Yanshou.
"The Mongolian army used a powerful catapult that could throw hundreds of kilograms of boulders, fireballs, as well as wolf smoke and medicinal herbs that paralyzed the defenders, and the city of Luntai was in danger..."
"We need a support army to enter Luntai City to assist the defense, and at the same time boost morale, otherwise Luntai City may not be able to defend! Please send a support army in advance!"
When Gan Yanshou saw Chutian, he couldn't wait to ask Chutian for help.
After the sneak attack on the Okuotai Khanate, Huo An was left with 40,000 of the main remaining guards, and the rest of the soldiers were temporarily recruited low-level troops or village warriors.
The Xiangyang artillery destroyed the fortifications of Luntai City, Huo An's main force was lost, and the recruits recruited temporarily were difficult to defend the city in the face of the powerful Khanate army.
Therefore, Gan Yanshou ventured to break out of Luntai City, came to find the expeditionary army of the Han Empire, and sought reinforcements to enter the city and assist in the defense.
Chu Tian pondered for a moment that the goal of the Han Empire's expeditionary force was to relieve the siege of Luntai City. If Luntai City was breached, the Han Empire's expeditionary force would be in a predicament of no advance or retreat.
Entering, Luntai City was occupied by the Mongolian army. Once the expeditionary force of the Han Empire was unable to recover Luntai City, the food, water and arrows were exhausted, and the 400,000 expeditionary troops would all be buried in the Western Regions.
Retreating, Subutai's cavalry followed behind to intercept, Temujin and Wo Kuotai pursued, and the reinforcements of the Han Empire would also collapse.
"Who can help defend Luntai City in advance?"
Chutian considered sending a support army to enter Luntai City to reinforce the defense force of Luntai City.
At the same time, the defenders defending Luntai City can leave the city to attack the Mongolian army at any time.
"I'm going to save Luntai City!"
Mu Ke took the initiative to ask Ying.
Chu Tian shook his head: "It must be a cavalry force to break through the besieging Mongolian army and enter the city. Otherwise, your infantry will be surrounded by the Mongolian army, and not only will they not be able to enter the city, but the entire army will be annihilated. ."
Mu Ke bit her lip. Both the rattan armored soldiers and the white pole soldiers belonged to the infantry. They were not good at horse fighting. When fighting, they had to dismount to fight.
With the horse-fighting ability of the rattan armored soldiers and the white pole soldiers, it was really impossible to break through the Mongolian defense line outside the city and enter the city smoothly.
"Give me a cavalry and let me enter Luntai City to defend the city."
Xu Fengnian, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke up.
Mu Ke lacked cavalry, but Xu Fengnian, a soldier of Xiliang, was good at cavalry assault.
"Huo Qubing and others need to stay and fight against Temujin. I will give you ten thousand light cavalry and go to defend the city."
Chu Tian handed over the 10,000 light cavalry of the White Pao Regiment to Xu Fengnian, so that Xu Fengnian's troops reached 30,000, and went to Luntai to defend the city.
Huo An's strength, plus 30,000 reinforcements, should not be a problem to defend the round platform.
"I'm going to lead the way!"
Gan Yanshou received a batch of reinforcements, and he couldn't wait to return to Luntai City to lead the reinforcements to Luntai and boost the morale of the defenders.
"Your injury is serious, is it not a problem?"
Chu Tian couldn't see Gan Yanshou's attributes, but he knew that Gan Yanshou's force must have declined due to the injury.
But Gan Yanshou became more courageous and planned to follow Xu Fengnian back to the city in person.
"The last general was entrusted by hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Luntai to go out of the city to seek reinforcements. At this time, when reinforcements are obtained, it is natural to lead the reinforcements back to Luntai! Please allow the generals!"
"That's it."
Chu Tian finally agreed with Gan Yanshou and the other twelve surviving Han cavalrymen to follow Xu Fengnian to Luntai City.
Xu Fengnian summoned Wang Yanzhang, Ma Chao, Ma Teng, Han Sui, Yang Shihou, Li Hu and other generals under his command, as well as the newly joined Gan Yanshou, commanding 30,000 cavalry to aid Luntai City!
Before departure, Gan Yanshou explained the details of Luntai City to Chutian.
The enemies who besieged Luntai City were not just Okuotai, Yelu Dashi, but also Chagatai from the Ili River Valley.
In the Chagatai Khanate, there may be a group of servants from the Seljuk Empire and Khwarizm.
The Four Khans, possessing the characteristics of a monarch, are mostly related to the control of the servant army.
"Yelü Dashi is the founder of the Western Liao Dynasty. Maybe he also has the characteristics of a monarch, which is equivalent to fighting the four Khans in Luntai..."
Chutian's defense against Yelu Dashi was even higher than Chagatai.
Perhaps the military capabilities of Chagatai and Okuotai may not be comparable to Yelu Dashi.
Yelu Dashi should be one of the fiercest Khitans.
"The city of Luntai will be handed over to you. While defending the city, I will wait for the opportunity to leave the city to attack the Mongolian army and contain Okuotai and Yelu Dashi."
Chu Tian warned Xu Fengnian, Gan Yanshou and others before they set off.
The defenders of Luntai City not only defended the city, but also threatened and contained the Mongolian army.
"As long as you enter Luntai City, you will be able to defend Luntai. If you can't break into Luntai, it means that our entire army will be wiped out."
Xu Fengnian, armed with a spear, led the Xiliang Corps and 10,000 Central Plains cavalry, and went to Luntai before Chutian and others.
Huo Qubing, Wang Xuance, Li Siye and others from the Protectorate of the Western Regions were left behind by Chutian.
In Chutian's view, the generals of the Protectorate of the Western Regions are suitable for attacking, and staying in the expedition can play a greater role.
Temujin joins forces with Okuotai and Chagatai, and most likely chooses to fight the expeditionary forces in the wild.
Xu Fengnian and Gan Yanshou's cavalry galloped away, and Mu Ke stationed his sword. If Xu Fengnian and Gan Yanshou successfully broke into Luntai City, then Luntai City could hold on.
On the contrary, Luntai City is quite dangerous.
After Chu Tian and others supplied supplies in Yanqi Kingdom, it took a lot of time for Jiujiu Lao Qin's Guanzhong Corps to reach Yanqi Kingdom ~IndoMTL.com~ ashes.
"The speed is really tricky, no wonder it keeps holding Huo Qubing and others..."
Ji Jiu Lao Qin took off his helmet and kept gasping for breath.
Subutai's harassment tactics were an experience for the Guanzhong Army.
In order to reach the Yanqi Kingdom, the Guanzhong Corps suffered a tragic loss. Li Jue, Guo Si, Zhang Xiu and other generals were injured.
"Gan Yanshou..." Jiujiu Lao Qin heard that Gan Yanshou came to rescue, and after thinking for a while, he said to Chu Tian and Mu Ke, "The decisive battle in Luntai City may cost more than 100,000 people. "
"If we win, the initiative will be in our hands. The Okuotai Khanate has been destroyed. As long as the Chagatai Khanate is destroyed, the Western Regions Protectorate will resume its rule over the Western Regions, and Temujin can only retreat. Mobei.”
Chu Tian, like Jiujiu Lao Qin, realized that the closer the Han army was to Luntai City, the closer the decisive battle with Temujin was.
Not so much a decisive battle with Temujin, but a decisive battle with the Mongol Empire and the two Khanates.
Temujin, Wo Kuotai, Chagatai, Yelu Dashi, Subutai, Mu Huali, Crassus and others were in one camp, while the Han Empire's expeditionary army received Huo Qubing, Wang Xuance, Qin Liangyu, Wutu and others. Bones and other generals and troops are added, and they are equally powerful.
As long as Temujin is unwilling to back down and give up Luntai City, then the battle between the two sides in Luntai City is inevitable.
The supply of the expeditionary army of the Han Empire was getting less and less, and Temujin lost the state of Yanqi as a supply point and relied on the state of Qiuci for supplies, and also faced logistical problems.
The supply situation on both sides forced the time for the decisive battle on both sides to approach.
