"Huo Quzhi, Wang Xuance and others really won the Yanqi Kingdom, and they are worthy of being offensive generals."

Chutian joined forces with Mu Ke and Xu Fengnian, and when they arrived in Yanqi, the cavalry raid tactics of Huo Qubing and others achieved results, and the defenders of Ali Hague, a Mongolian general stationed in Yanqi, were expelled.

At the same time, Temujin lost the supply point of Yanqi, the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, and had to withdraw to Luntai City.

Cheshi Kingdom, Yanqi Kingdom, Luntai Kingdom, this front has been opened, and there is no city to stop the Han Empire Expeditionary Force from lifting the siege of Luntai Kingdom!

As long as you rest and resupply in Yanqi Kingdom, then you can reach Luntai Kingdom, engage the main force of the Mongol Empire, and lift the siege of Luntai City by the Mongol Empire!

Luntai City has been besieged for quite some time, and according to the judgment of Chu Tian and other Han army princes, if the Mongol army besieging the city uses counterweight trebuchets, plus the rest of the siege equipment, it will be difficult for Huo An's Luntai City to hold on for a long time.

At present, there are hundreds of thousands of Mongolian cavalry gathered in Luntai State, which is equivalent to all the main forces of the Mongol Empire in the Western Regions, as well as the main cavalry forces of the two khanates, all gathered in Luntai City!

This time, even crazy people such as Huo Quai, Wang Xuance and others did 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 able to lift the siege of Luntai City by the Mongol army, but it will be completely annihilated.

"My lord, there is a cavalry squad of the Han Army coming from the direction of Luntai City!"

"It should be the cavalry team sent by Huo An to pass on information to us, hurry up and greet it!"

The city gate of Yanqi Kingdom opened, and a Han cavalry broke into Yanqi Kingdom, and the Han general who led the team was severely injured, and after entering Yanqi Kingdom, he fell from his horseback!

"General!"

The cavalry of the Han army hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and helped the bloodied Gan Yanshou.

"Hurry up and get a miracle doctor!"

Chen Qingzhi led a small team of white-robed troops to greet him, and found that the Han general Gan Yanshou was injured and fell from his horse, and at this time, only the divine doctor Hua Tuo could come back to life!

Hua Tuo, the divine doctor, followed the expeditionary force to save the dead and help the wounded, and was highly respected among the expeditionary forces of the Han Empire.

"This general was hit by six arrows, but fortunately he didn't hit the vital point, and his life was not in danger, but he needed a period of recuperation, otherwise it would be difficult for the injury to heal completely."

Hua Tuo examined Gan Yanshou's body, applied herbs and healing medicine to him, stopped the bleeding, and prevented his injuries from worsening.

"The situation in Luntai City is critical, how can we waste time on healing! I want to see the General! ”

Gan Yanshou was entrusted by Huo An to come to ask for help, he didn't care so much, he just wanted to see Chutian as soon as possible and asked to rescue Luntai City as soon as possible.

"Alas......"

Hua Tuo found that many generals were quite short-tempered, especially some of them regarded death as their home and did not care about their injuries.

This makes it difficult for doctors to do it.

"General Gan has ventured to break through, please don't worry, General Ben 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 cavalry that Gan Yanshou led three hundred cavalry to break through and come to find the expeditionary force of the Han Empire.

Three hundred cavalry set out from Luntai City, and only thirteen cavalry successfully joined Chu Tian and others, with a casualty rate of more than ninety percent!

This cavalry, almost at the risk of annihilation, came out to pass on information!

In this regard, Chu Tian was in awe.

The Protectorate of the Western Regions has single-handedly withstood the months-long onslaught of the Mongol Empire and the two khanates, and the generals have done their best.

Gan Yanshou almost died.

"What is the specific situation in Luntai City?"

The information that Huo An sent through the war eagle was extremely brief, so it was better to learn the details of Luntai City's defense directly from Gan Yanshou.

"The Mongol army used a powerful trebuchet that could throw hundreds of pounds of boulders, fireballs, and wolf smoke and medicinal herbs that paralyzed the defenders, and Luntai City was in danger......

"We need a reinforcement army to enter Luntai City to assist in the defense and boost morale at the same time, otherwise Luntai City may not be able to hold it! Please send a reinforcement army in advance! ”

When Gan Yanshou saw Chu Tian, he couldn't wait to ask Chu Tian for help.

After the sneak attack on the Ögedai Khanate, Huo An left 40,000 remnants of the main force to defend Luntai, and the rest of the soldiers were temporarily recruited low-level soldiers or village warriors.

The Xiangyang cannon destroyed the fortifications of Luntai City, Huo An's main army was lost, and the temporarily recruited recruits faced the strong Khanate army, making it difficult to defend the city.

Therefore, Gan Yanshou took the risk of breaking through from Luntai City and came to find the expeditionary force of the Han Empire, seeking reinforcements to enter the city and assist in the defense.

Chu Tian thought for a while, the goal of the Han Empire Expeditionary Force was to relieve the siege of Luntai City, and if Luntai City was breached, then the Han Empire Expeditionary Force would fall into a predicament where it could not advance or retreat.

Once the Han Empire expeditionary force could not recover Luntai City, the food, water, and arrows were exhausted, and the 400,000 expeditionary troops would all be buried in the Western Regions.

Retreat, the cavalry of Subutai followed behind to intercept, Temujin and Ogedai pursued, and the reinforcements of the Han Empire would also collapse.

"Who can go ahead to help defend Luntai City?"

Chutian considered sending a reinforcement army into Luntai City to strengthen the defensive force of Luntai City.

At the same time, the defenders defending Luntai City could go out of the city at any time to attack the Mongol army.

"I'm going to save Luntai City!"

Mu Ke took the initiative to ask.

Chu Tian shook his head: "It must be a cavalry to use the mobility to break through the besieging Mongol army and enter the city. Otherwise, your infantry will be surrounded by the Mongol army, and not only will they not be able to enter the city, but they will be completely annihilated. ”

Mu Ke bit his lip, the rattan armor soldiers and the white pole soldiers are both infantry, and they are not good at horse fighting, and when fighting, they need to dismount and fight.

With the horse combat ability of the rattan armor soldiers and the white pole soldiers, they really couldn't break through the Mongolian defense line outside the city and enter the city smoothly.

"Give me a cavalry, let me enter Luntai City to defend the city."

Xu Fengnian, who had been silent, finally spoke up.

Mu Ke lacked cavalry, but Xu Fengnian's Xiliang soldiers were good at cavalry assault.

"Huo Quzhi and the others need to stay and fight Temujin head-on. I will give you 10,000 light cavalry to defend the city. ”

Chu Tian handed over the 10,000 light cavalry of the white-robed army to Xu Fengnian, so that Xu Fengnian's strength reached 30,000, and went to Luntai to defend the city.

Huo An's troops, plus 30,000 reinforcements, should not be a problem to defend Luntai.

"I'm going to lead the way!"

Gan Yanshou received a batch of reinforcements and couldn't wait to return to Luntai City, bring reinforcements to Luntai, and boost the morale of the defenders.

"Your injuries are serious, not a problem?"

Chu Tian couldn't see Gan Yanshou's attributes, but he knew that Gan Yanshou's strength had definitely decreased because of his injury.

But Gan Yanshou became more and 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 you get reinforcements, you naturally have to lead the reinforcements back to Luntai! Please allow the General! ”

"That's it."

Chutian finally agreed that Gan Yanshou and the remaining twelve surviving Han cavalry would follow Xu Fengnian to Luntai City.

Xu Fengnian summoned his generals Wang Yanzhang, Ma Chao, Ma Teng, Han Sui, Yang Shihou, Li Hu and other generals, as well as the newly joined Gan Yanshou, to command 30,000 cavalry and aid Luntai City!

Before setting off, Gan Yanshou explained the details of Luntai City to Chutian.

The enemies besieging Luntai City were not only Ogedai and Yelu Dashi, but also Chagatai from the Ili River Valley.

In the Chagatai Khanate, there may be a number of Seljuk Empire and Khorezm servants.

The Four Great Khans, with monarch characteristics, are mostly related to the control of servant armies.

"Yelu Dashi is the founder of Western Liao, and maybe he also has the characteristics of a monarch, which is equivalent to fighting the four ......khans in Luntai."

Chu Tian's defense of Yelu Dashi was even on the Chagatai platform.

Perhaps the military capabilities of Chagatai and Ogedai may not be comparable to Yelu Dashi.

Yelu Dashi should be one of the fiercest Khitans.

"Luntai City will be handed over to you, while defending the city, wait for the opportunity to go out of the city to attack the Mongol army, and contain Ogedai and Yelu Dashi."

Chu Tian admonished Xu Fengnian, Gan Yanshou and the others before they set off.

The defenders of Luntai City not only defended the city, but also threatened and contained the Mongol army.

"As long as you enter Luntai City, you will definitely be able to defend Luntai. If we can't break through to the wheel, it means that we are completely annihilated. ”

Xu Fengnian held a gun, led the Xiliang Army and 10,000 Central Plains cavalry, one step ahead of Chutian and others, and went to Luntai.

Huo Quzhi, Wang Xuance, Li Siye and others from the Western Regions Protectorate were left behind by Chutian.

In Chu Tian's opinion, the generals of the Western Regions Protectorate are suitable for attacking, and staying in the expeditionary force can play a greater role.

When Temujin joined up with Ogedai and Chagatai, he would most likely choose to fight the expeditionary force in the field.

Xu Fengnian and Gan Yanshou's cavalry galloped away, 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 the others resupplied in the Yanqi Kingdom, it took a lot of time for the Guanzhong Army of the old Qin to arrive in the Yanqi Kingdom, and they were disgraced.

"Subutai is really tricky, no wonder I have been dragging Huo Quzhi and others ......"

Old Qin took off his helmet and kept panting.

Subutai's harassment tactics were an experience for the Guanzhong Army.

In order to reach Yanqi State, the Guanzhong Army paid quite heavy losses, and Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Xiu and other generals were injured.

"Gan Yanshou ......" When Lao Qin heard that Gan Yanshou had come to the rescue, he thought about it for a while, and said to Chu Tian and Mu Ke, "The decisive battle in Luntai City may kill more than 100,000 people. ”

"If we win, the initiative is in our hands. The Ögedai Khanate has been destroyed, as long as the Chagatai Khanate is destroyed, the Western Regions Protectorate will regain its rule over the Western Regions, and Temujin can only retreat to Mobei. ”

Chu Tian, like the old Qin, realized that the closer the Han army got to Luntai City, the closer it was to the decisive battle with Temujin.

It was not so much a decisive battle with Temujin as a decisive battle with the Mongol Empire and the two khanates.

Temujin, Wokotai, Chagatai, Yelu Dashi, Subutai, Muhuali, Crassus and others are one camp, and the Han Empire Expeditionary Force has been joined by generals and troops such as Huo Quzhi, Wang Xuance, Qin Liangyu, and Wutu Gu, which are also strong.

As long as Temujin was unwilling to back down and was unwilling to give up Luntai City, then a major battle between the two sides in Luntai City was inevitable.

The Han Empire's expeditionary force had fewer and fewer supplies, and Temujin's side, which lost the Yanqi Kingdom as a supply point and relied on the Qiuci Kingdom for supplies, also faced logistical problems.

The supply situation of both sides forced the decisive battle between the two sides to approach.
