"Kill!!"

The Mongol army on the outskirts of Luntai City was assaulted by a 30,000-strong Han cavalry, and the shouts of killing alarmed the defenders in the city!

The defenders of Luntai City climbed the city wall one after another, looking at the Mongol army besieging Luntai, trying to see what had happened.

"Reinforcements, our reinforcements have arrived!"

Suddenly, a burst of cheers erupted among the defenders of Luntai City, and the morale of all the defenders increased because of the presence of reinforcements outside the city!

In addition to the characteristics, specific 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 to pick up!"

Huo An could already see the war eagle of the Iron Eagle Scout, as well as the battle flag of the Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate held by Gan Yanshou, the general of the Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate!

This group of cavalry that arrived was at least twenty or thirty thousand people!

The Mongol army's Tanmachi discovered this cavalry in advance, and immediately dispatched troops and horses to besiege the city's Wokotai and Yelu Dashi!

The main force of Temujin's cavalry went to the country of Qiuzi to resupply, leaving Muhuali to join up with Ogedai and Yelu Dashi. At this time, only the cavalry of Wokotai, Yelu Dashi, and Muhuali besieged Luntai City, and the defensive strength was relatively weak.

Yelu Dashi personally led a team of cavalry to intercept Xu Fengnian's cavalry, and the two sides fought fiercely under Luntai City, and the battle led to more and more cavalry deaths!

The original wound of the Han general Gan Yanshou burst out due to the fierce battle and was injured again, but he swung the ring head knife, slashed several enemy horsemen one after another, and slashed hard, trying to break through the blockade of Yelu Dashi and enter the city!

Yelu Dashi's Central Asian cavalry was more terrifying, using Turkic bows to shoot horses, and Gan Yanshou was hit by two arrows!

The gate of Luntai City was opened, Huo An personally went out of the city with Gao Xianzhi to support Gan Yanshou and Xu Fengnian, and Wokotai instructed two captains to come to besiege, and tens of thousands of cavalry fought!

"The last general will not fail in his mission!"

Gan Yanshou saw Huo An going out of the city to answer, knowing that Huo An was fine for the time being, and the reinforcements had arrived, and Luntai City could most likely be defended, so he shouted at Huo An!

"Reinforcements have finally arrived!"

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 were not very familiar, but at this time they were allies!

"Hold Luntai City, disgusting Temujin and Ogedai for such a long time, it's okay."

After Xu Fengnian and Huo An joined forces, they retreated in the direction of Luntai City, and at the city gate, Huo An had already deployed a team of heavy infantry and strong crossbowmen to respond.

Yelu Dashi took off the strong crossbow between the saddles, aimed at the retreating Gan Yanshou, pulled the crossbow machine, and the reaction force made Yelu Dashi's arm shake slightly, and the crossbow arrow broke out of the air!

"Woo......"

Gan Yanshou had already joined Huo An, but when he was about to be safe, he was shot by Yelu Dashi, and his eyes lost their brightness, his pupils dilated, and he fell from the horse.

"Gan Yanshou!"

Huo An originally planned to reward this hero after entering the city, but Gan Yanshou shot and killed Yelu Dashi in the end, a generation of famous generals of the Western Regions Protectorate, and died on the battlefield.

Huo An's eyes were bloodshot, and he looked at Yelu Dashi in a group of Khitan cavalry and Central Asian cavalry.

Yelu Dashi's eyes were cold, three or four hundred meters away from Huo An, he was already outside the range of the crossbow arrows, and he could only see a vague figure, but both sides felt that this was a lifelong enemy.

Gan Yanshou, the general of the Western Regions Protectorate, the nobles of the Dawan Kingdom, and the King of Loulan all died under the attack of Yelu Dashi.

Huo An's strategy of protecting the capital of the Western Regions was destroyed by Yelu Dashi. Yelu Dashi, who served the two khanates of the Mongol Empire, became the most troublesome enemy of the Western Regions Protectorate, and he also had to be on top of Ogedai and Chagatai.

"Into town!"

Although his heart was dripping with blood, Huo An knew that he couldn't act rashly at this time, otherwise he would only live up to Gan Yanshou's sacrifice.

Under Huo An's response, Xu Fengnian lost thousands of cavalry, and finally entered Luntai City, increasing the defenders of Luntai City by more than 20,000 elite soldiers and more than ten historical generals!

There are also a number of generals of the Khanate under the command of Ogedei, but the pressure on Luntai City has undoubtedly been 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 ......! I will kill him! ”

Huo An's hatred for Jerodashi was even greater.

Yelu Dashi even killed the generals of the Western Regions Protectorate, which made Huo An hate him monstrously.

Yelu Dashi has become Huo An's must-kill enemy!

"It's Xiangyang cannon ...... again"

Xu Fengnian entered Luntai City and found that the walls of Luntai City were devastated, and many sections of the city walls were cracked.

For the power of the Xiangyang cannon, Xu Fengnian has personally experienced that Yumen Pass was bombarded by the Xiangyang cannon and collapsed a section of the city wall.

The walls of Luntai City may not be stronger than a special pass like Yumen Pass.

In other words, according to Xu Fengnian's estimate, part of the city wall of Luntai City is estimated to not last long, and it will fall to the ground with a bang.

"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 trapping horses and rejecting horses, once it attacks the Xiangyang cannon, there is a chance that the whole army will be wiped out."

Huo An shook his head.

Xu Fengnian looked at Wang Yanzhang, Ma Chao, and Hua Xiong and the others sent to him by Chutian.

If these fierce generals were the vanguard, they might be able to burn the Xiangyang cannon smoothly, but under the siege of more than 100,000 Mongolian cavalry, especially Yelu Dashi, they also set traps such as ballistae and strong crossbows, and even the five tiger generals would be consumed to death.

Large siege engines have the potential to kill generals.

Unless Xu Fengnian wants 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, Wokotai and Mu Huali stood on a high place, and saw that Yelu Dashi failed to intercept and kill Xu Fengnian, and Xu Fengnian's cavalry successfully entered the city, and they couldn't help but be silent.

"Yelu Dashi's cavalry is already quite good, but it still can't intercept this Han cavalry, which shows the strength of the Han cavalry."

"The princes of the Han army who are qualified to participate in the expeditionary force are not idle people."

"Strengthen the defense of the Xiangyang cannon, and if they go out of the city to attack the Xiangyang cannon, then ten thousand crossbows will be fired in unison and kill them. The ballista deployed next to the Xiangyang cannon is enough to shoot its general. I have also made 20 Xiangyang cannons built, and this time, I will destroy Luntai City before the arrival of the Han Empire expeditionary force. ”

With a wave of his hand, twenty large counterweight trebuchets joined the sequence of siege equipment, forming a larger siege camp with the original Xiangyang cannon!

After Xu Fengnian entered Luntai City, Wokotai's attack on Luntai City became more and more fierce, Xiangyang artillery roared, boulders, fireballs, wolf smoke, and even corpses were thrown into the city by Xiangyang cannons!

"Damn, the attack here is even more terrible than Yumen Pass......"

Xu Fengnian looked up at the sky, and the high-speed rotating boulders and fireballs fell down, and the city wall trembled!

The number of Xiangyang cannons and siege equipment used by Wokotai to attack Luntai City was more than the trebuchets used by the Mongol army attacking Yumen Pass!

Yumen Pass is narrow, and there are not many troops invested in attacking the pass at one time, which is also the advantage of Xiongguan.

However, the four walls of Luntai City were within the attack range of the Mongol army, and the Mongol army could deploy more trebuchets, siege towers, and ladder trucks to mobilize more troops to attack the city.

Defending Luntai City is more difficult than holding on to Yumen Pass, which is why Huo An needs a new force to help defend the city.

The army and servant army of the Ögedai Khanate, which spread all over the mountains, besieged Luntai City again, and the rain of arrows was intertwined into a net to scatter and harvest the lives of the defenders!

"Wu'er!"

Ma Teng found that Ma Chao was hit by an arrow and was injured in the battle!

Wang Yanzhang's iron spear swept away, blocking the rain of arrows for Ma Teng and Ma Chao!

The attack and defense of Luntai City was quite tragic, and the tragedy was higher than the Battle of Yumen Pass, and Ma Chao, who assisted the Western Regions Army in defending Luntai City, was soon injured by the dense rain of arrows!

Thousands of arrows rained down, and anyone could be injured.

……

The country of Qiuzi, located to the west of the Luntai country, where Temujin's cavalry temporarily rested and restocked.

Although Temujin suffered successive defeats in the Cheshi Kingdom and the Yanqi Kingdom, Temujin was still the greatest threat to the Han Empire's expeditionary force.

A cavalry from Central Asia arrived in the country of Qiuzi and joined Temujin.

"Father Khan."

Chagatai met his father, the conqueror of the world.

However, at this time, Temujin looked a little haggard, and the successive defeats hit Temujin's confidence.

It was not until the arrival of Chagatai that Temujin slightly regained the momentum of the great conqueror.

The cavalry that came to support Chagatai was dominated by the Mongol cavalry of the Chagatai Khanate, followed by the cavalry of the Seljuk Empire and Khorezm.

"I have learned the results of the battle of the Ili River Valley, you have done a good job with Ogedai and Yelu Dashi, the blood of the Central Asian coalition forces has stained the Ili River Valley, and the Seljuk Empire and Khorezm must have surrendered."

"The sultan of Khorezm has been subjugated after being beheaded by us, but the Seljuk Empire is still gathering coalition forces to try to regain the position of the hegemon of Central Asia. Therefore, most of the servant troops brought by the children were Khorezm cavalry. ”

"Stupid Seljuks, they will find themselves so small in force. When we annihilate this expeditionary force of the Han Empire, the next one to destroy is the Seljuk Empire, razing it to the ground. ”

When Temujin heard that after the defeat of the Seljuk Empire in the Ili River Valley, its sultan dared to rebel against the rule of the Chagatai Khanate, and snorted coldly.

As long as he can annihilate the expeditionary force 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.

"Maybe the time is not ripe for us to attack the Han Empire in an all-out way, we are too anxious."

Temujin's voice was low: "You should take the lead in capturing Central Asia and West Asia, obtain a million servant troops, and then attack the Han Empire in an all-out way." ”

Chagatai said respectfully: "What Father Khan said is extremely true. The Han Empire was our most formidable enemy. The most powerful enemies should be saved for the last and then annihilated. On the contrary, the conquest of the Seljuk Empire and the kingdom of Khorezm is simpler than we think. ”

Temujin got up: "But now that all the forces are concentrated in Luntai City, we have no choice but to fight to the death with the expeditionary force of the Han Empire." If we win, we will get the Western Regions and even the fertile pastures of Kannai. If we fail, we must withdraw from the Western Regions and wait for an opportunity to move again. Chagatai, this time it's up to you to do so. ”

"The horsemen of the children are at the mercy of their father's Khan."
