Lord of the Gaming World Chapter 583: Reinforcement of Luntai City
"Kill!!"
The Mongolian army on the outskirts of Luntai City was attacked by a 30,000-strong Han army cavalry.
The defenders of Luntai City climbed the city walls one after another, looking at the Mongolian army besieging Luntai, trying to see what happened.
"Reinforcement, our reinforcements have arrived!"
Suddenly, there was a burst of cheers from the defenders of Luntai City. The morale of all the defenders was boosted by the presence of reinforcements outside the city!
In addition to characteristics, certain events on the battlefield will also affect the rise and fall of morale, such as the death of the main general and the arrival of reinforcements!
"Gao Xianzhi, follow me out of the city!"
Huo An can already see the war eagles of the Iron Eagle Scouts, and the battle flag of the Western Regions Protectorate General Gan Yanshou, the general of the Western Regions Protectorate!
There are at least 20,000 to 30,000 cavalrymen coming!
The Mongolian army's Tanmachi discovered this cavalry in advance, and the besieged Okuotai and Yelu Dashi immediately dispatched troops and horses to besiege!
The main force of Temujin's cavalry went to Qiuci to supply supplies, leaving Mu Huali to join with Okuotai and Yelu Dashi. At this time, only the cavalry of Wo Kuotai, Yelu Dashi, and Mu Huali besieged Luntai City, and the defense force was relatively weak.
Yelu Dashi personally led a team of cavalry to intercept Xu Fengnian's cavalry. The two sides fought fiercely under Luntai City.
Han general Gan Yanshou's original wound burst open due to the fierce battle, and he was injured again, but he slashed the ring head sword, slashed several enemy horses one after another, and slashed hard, trying to break through the blockade of Yelu Dashi and enter the city!
The Central Asian cavalry of Yelu Dashi was more terrifying. They used Turkic bows to mount and shoot, and Gan Yanshou was shot with two arrows!
The city gate of Luntai City opened. Huo An and Gao Xianzhi went out of the city to support Gan Yanshou and Xu Fengnian in person, while Wo Kuotai ordered two captains to come to besiege them, and tens of thousands of cavalrymen fought meleely!
"The last will live up to his mission!"
Gan Yanshou saw Huo An go out of the city to meet him, knowing that Huo An was fine for the time being, and reinforcements had arrived, and Luntai City could probably be defended, so he shouted at Huo An!
"The reinforcements are finally here!"
Huo An and his subordinate Gao Xianzhi fought hard and successfully joined Xu Fengnian's reinforcements!
Huo An also knew this Chutian trading partner in the previous epic battles and national wars. Although the two sides are not very familiar with it, he is an ally at this time!
"It's okay to defend Luntai City, disgusting Temujin and Wo Kuotai for such a long time."
After Xu Fengnian and Huo An joined forces, they were very powerful and retreated in the direction of Luntai City. At the city gate, Huo An had already deployed a team of heavy infantry and strong crossbowmen.
Yelu Dashi took off the strong crossbow between the saddles, aimed at Gan Yanshou, who was retreating, and pulled the crossbow machine. The reaction force made Yelu Dashi's arm shake slightly, and the crossbow arrow burst out of the air!
"Woo..."
Gan Yanshou had already reunited with Huo An, but he was shot to death by Yelu Dashi on the way to safety.
"Gan Yanshou!"
Huo An originally planned to reward this hero after entering the city, but Gan Yanshou shot and killed Yelu Dashi at the end, a famous general of the Western Regions Protectorate, and died in battle.
Huo An's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked at Yelu Dashi among a group of Khitan cavalry and Central Asian cavalry.
Yelu Dashi's eyes were stern. He was separated from Huo An by three or four hundred meters. He was already out of the range of the crossbow, and only vague figures could be seen, but both parties felt that this was the enemy of their lives.
Gan Yanshou, the commander of the Protectorate of the Western Regions, Mijian, a nobleman of Dawan, and King Loulan all died under the attack of Yelu Dashi.
The strategy of the Protectorate of the Western Regions represented by Huo An was destroyed by Yelu Dashi. Yelu Dashi, who served for the two Khanates of the Mongol Empire, became the most troublesome enemy of the Protectorate of the Western Regions, and was even above Ogotai and Chagatai.
"Into the city!"
Despite bleeding in his heart, Huo An knew that he could not act impulsively at this time, otherwise he would only live up to Gan Yanshou's sacrifice.
With Huo An's assistance, Xu Fengnian lost several thousand cavalry and finally entered Luntai City, increasing the defending force of Luntai City by more than 20,000 elite soldiers and more than ten historical military generals!
Okuotai also has a group of khanate generals under his command, but the pressure on Luntai City is undoubtedly reduced at this time!
After Yelu Dashi shot Gan Yanshou, he was shown to the public to deter the defenders of Luntai City.
"Gan Yanshou...! Yelu Dashi, I will kill him!"
Huo An hated Yelu Dashi even more.
Yelu Dashi even killed the military generals of the Protectorate of the Western Regions, which made Huo An hate him so much.
Yelu Dashi has become Huo An's inevitable enemy!
"It's the Xiangyang Cannon again..."
When Xu Fengnian entered Luntai City, he found that the city wall of Luntai City was in ruins, and many sections of the city wall were broken. Huo An ordered to repair it and set up a parapet or a wooden fence, which prevented the Mongolian army from attacking the city wall.
Xu Fengnian had personally experienced the power of the Xiangyang Cannon, and the Yumen Pass was bombarded by the Xiangyang Cannon and a section of the city wall collapsed.
The city wall of Luntai City is not necessarily stronger than a special pass like Yumen Pass.
In other words, according to Xu Fengnian's estimation, some of the city walls of Luntai City would not last long before they would fall to the ground.
"It's better to try to get out of the city, burn the Xiangyang Cannon, and delay for a while."
To deal with the Xiangyang Cannon, Xu Fengnian considered going out of the city to attack.
"No, Yelu Dashi has set up traps outside the city, such as traps for trapping horses and rejecting horses. Once the Xiangyang Cannon is attacked, the entire army will probably be wiped out."
Huo An shook his head.
Xu Fengnian looked at Wang Yanzhang, Ma Chao, and Hua Xiong, who was sent to him by Chutian.
If these fierce leaders are used as the vanguard, the Xiangyang artillery may be successfully burned. However, under the siege of more than 100,000 Mongolian cavalry, especially Yelu Dashi also set up traps such as ballistas and strong crossbows, even the five tiger generals will be captured. consume to death.
Large siege machines have the potential to kill generals.
Unless Xu Fengnian wanted to sacrifice Wang Yanzhang, Ma Chao, Hua Xiong and others in exchange for the opportunity to burn the Xiangyang Cannon.
The price is not worth it.
Outside the city, Wo Kuotai and Mu Huali were standing on a high place. Seeing that Yelu Dashi failed to intercept Xu Fengnian, Xu Fengnian's cavalry successfully entered the city and couldn't help being silent.
"Yelü Dashi's cavalry is already quite good, but it is still unable to intercept this Han army cavalry, which shows the strong ability of the Han army cavalry."
"The princes of the Han army who are qualified to participate in the expedition are not ordinary people."
"Strengthen the defense of the Xiangyang Cannon. If they go out of the city to attack the Xiangyang Cannon, ten thousand crossbow will be fired to kill it. The ballista deployed next to the Xiangyang Cannon is enough to kill its generals. I made it again. Twenty Xiangyang artillery pieces, this time, must destroy Luntai City before the Han Empire's expeditionary force arrives."
Wo Kuotai waved his hand, and twenty large counterweight catapults joined the sequence of siege equipment, forming a larger siege camp with the original Xiangyang artillery!
After Xu Fengnian entered Luntai City, Wo Kuotai's offensive against Luntai City became more and more violent. Xiangyang Cannons roared, boulders, fireballs, wolf smoke, and even corpses were thrown into the city by Xiangyang Cannons!
"Damn, the attack here is even more terrifying than Yumen Pass..."
Xu Fengnian looked up at the sky, and the high-speed rotating boulders and fireballs fell, causing the city wall to tremble!
The number of Xiangyang artillery and siege equipment that Wo Kuotai used to attack Luntai City was more than the trebuchets used by the Mongolian army to attack Yumen Pass!
The Yumen Pass is narrow, and there are not many troops devoted to attacking the pass at one time, which is also the advantage of Xiong Pass.
However, the four walls of Luntai City are all within the attack range of the Mongolian army. The Mongolian army can deploy more trebuchets, siege towers, and ladder vehicles, and call more troops to attack the city.
Defending Luntai City is more difficult than defending Yumen Pass, which is why Huo An needs a new force to assist in defending the city.
The army of the Ogotai Khanate and its servants, which were all over the mountains and plains, besieged Luntai City again. The rain of arrows intertwined into a net and fell, reaping the lives of the defenders!
"My son!"
Ma Teng found that Ma Chao was hit by an arrow and was injured in the battle!
Wang Yanzhang's iron spear swept across, blocking the rain of arrows for Ma Teng and Ma Chao!
The attack and defense of Luntai City was quite brutal, and the severity was even higher than that of the Battle of Yumen Pass. Ma Chao, who assisted the Western Region Army in defending Luntai City, was quickly injured by the dense rain of arrows!
Thousands of arrows rained down and anyone could be injured.
…
Qiuci Kingdom, located to the west of Luntai Kingdom, where Temujin's cavalry temporarily rested and replenished.
Although Temujin suffered successive defeats in Cheshi and Yanqi states, Temujin was still the greatest threat to the expeditionary forces of the Han Empire.
A cavalry from Central Asia arrives in Kucha and joins Temujin.
"Father Khan."
Chagatai met his father, the conqueror of the world.
However, at this time, Temujin looked a little haggard, and after the successive defeats, Temujin's confidence was hit.
It was not until the arrival of Chaghatai that Temujin regained the momentum of the Great Conqueror.
The cavalry that Chagatai came to support was mainly the Mongolian cavalry of the Chagatai Khanate, followed by the cavalry of the Seljuk Empire and Khwarizm.
"I have already learned the result of the battle of the Ili River Valley. You and Okuotai and Yelu Dashi have done very well. The blood of the Central Asian coalition has dyed the Ili River Valley red, and the Seljuk Empire and Khwarizmi must have surrendered. ~IndoMTL.com~ After the sultan of Khwarizmo was beheaded by us, he has surrendered, but the Seljuk Empire is still gathering coalition forces to try to regain the status of the hegemon of Central Asia. Therefore, the servant army brought by the child is mostly Khwarizm cavalry."
"Stupid Seljuks, they will find out how small their force is. When we annihilate this expeditionary army of the Han Empire, the next thing to destroy is the Seljuk Empire and raze it to the ground."
Temujin snorted when he heard that after the Seljuk Empire's defeat in the Ili Valley, its sultan dared to resist the rule of the Chagatai Khanate.
As long as he can annihilate the expeditionary army of the Han Empire in Luntai City, and then conquer the Seljuk Empire, he can gather the forces of Central Asia, the Western Regions, and Mobei to launch an offensive against the Han Empire again.
"Perhaps the time is not ripe for us to fully attack the Han Empire. We are too impatient."
Temujin's voice was low: "We should take the lead in conquering Central Asia and West Asia, obtain a million servant army, and then fully attack the Han Empire."
Chagatai said respectfully: "Father Khan said very well. The Han Empire is our most powerful enemy. The most powerful enemy should be saved for the end and then annihilated. Instead, conquer the Seljuk Empire. The kingdom of Khwarizm is simpler than we thought."
Temujin got up: "But now that all the troops are concentrated in Luntai City, we have no choice but to fight to the death with the expeditionary army of the Han Empire. If we win, we will gain access to the Western Regions, and even the fertile lands in Guannei. Pastures. If we fail, we must withdraw from the Western Regions and wait for an opportunity. Chagatai, this time we have to rely on your troops.”
"The child's cavalry, let the father Khan drive."
