Chapter 544: Zhan Yumen

   Jiuquan County, tens of thousands of troops use the towering Yumen Pass as the battlefield, shouting and killing!

Temujin stood on the highlands of the Gobi outside the pass, personally supervising the battle with dozens of Mongolian generals.

Tens of thousands of Dunhuang servants took the lead in launching a fierce offensive against the city wall. Siege towers, ladder trucks, crash vehicles, ladders, and carts were all used to attack Yumen Pass.

As long as this sturdy key pass is captured, the main force of Temuzhen Mongolian army can withdraw and attack the Western Regions or Guanlong and Monan.

"The person who defended Yumen Pass was the Liangzhou Mu Xu Fengnian. There were dozens of military commanders, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, and he was considered a generation of heroes. However, Yumen Pass must be lost under the attack of profuse sweat."

One of the four fears Xue's Borshu flattered Temujin.

"Yumen Pass is not so easy to attack. Guanzhong has dispatched 100,000 troops to reinforce Yumen Pass."

Temujin obtained information from Guanzhong, and the news that Huangfusong and Zhu Jun, the last local celebrities of the Han Empire, sent troops to the Hexi Corridor.

Mongolian general Zhelezhan (one of the four mastiffs) personally came to the city to supervise the battle, with a group of Mongolian cavalry as the supervising team, supervising the servant army to violently attack the city.

The Temujin servants came from the national war and the main world, not only the servants of Dunhuang, but also the servants of other civilizations, and even the servants of Monan, forming a siege force of 50,000 people, and they are against Yumen Pass. Start offenses!

The behemoth-like siege tower is taller than the wall of Yumenguan. The Mongolian archers stood on the siege tower, condescending, and the arrows covered the city wall from time to time, hitting the defenders’ shields and armor.

Boom!

The ferocious siege hammer hit the heavy closing door, making a dull loud noise, making the defenders' hearts tremble!

"Be sure to guard the city wall!"

Xu Fengnian, Ma Teng, and Han Sui came to the city wall in person, and after sending all their family members to Xiacheng, they can get out and defend themselves!

Xiliang archers released their crossbows and volleyed tens of thousands of arrows through the servant army below!

When defending the city, there is no need to care about what civilized army is coming from under the city. There is no righteous battle in the spring and autumn, only victory or defeat!

The princes in the pass arranged for Xu Fengnian to guard Yumen Pass, so they had to hold it.

Even if they died in battle, the princes in the pass would treat their families kindly.

The horse super pulls the bow, and its powerful force makes the Zumu bow tremble, and a streamer shoots out, hitting the head of a Mongolian centurion.

The centurion who was urging the servants to attack the city wall was killed and fell to the ground. The morale of the surrounding servants fell sharply.

Even a servant army must have a team of generals to supervise, otherwise their morale will be seriously affected. The fastest full text of 噺⒏⑴祌 んττρs:/м.χ八㈠zщ.còм/

"well done!"

Wang Yanzhang and a team of archers arrived, shooting arrows at the enemy army below, and the dense rain of arrows took away the lives of hundreds of servants.

A group of Mongolian archers shoot arrows towards the Yumenguan defending army archers, trying to suppress the defending archers and gain opportunities for the servants.

This Mongolian archer has a general commander of the Mongolian bow system, which has a damage bonus and brings considerable losses to the defenders.

Wang Yanzhang shot an arrow at him, the streamer shot through a guard's shield, shot the guard, and almost hit the Mongolian general. Seeing that Wang Yanzhang was so ferocious, the latter retreated out of range and commanded the archer.

Boom!

There was another muffled hum after closing the door, and Han Sui, who was defending the city wall, looked pale.

A few hundred servants are pushing the siege hammer to break through the city gate frontally, putting pressure on the defenders.

"Yumen Pass has been transformed into the structure of Wengcheng. Even if they break through the city gate, they will not easily enter the city. You will lead a team of crossbowmen. Once the Mongolian army enters Wengcheng, shoot it with random arrows."

Xu Fengnian sent Han Sui to guard Wengcheng.

Although nomadic civilization has higher mobility, war mobilization rate, and the cost of war is lower than farming civilization, farming civilization often has more advanced urban defense technology.

Han Sui has many second- and third-rate generals under his command. They are not opponents of the Mongolian cavalry in field battles. They use fixed-damage bows to defend the city.

Boom!

With a loud noise, the heavy door slammed under the violent impact of the siege hammer, and the broken wood splashed. A group of servants from Huarazimou rushed into the city first.

"Han Sui, Jincheng County, Liangzhou is waiting for a long time!"

Han Sui and his generals Liang Xing, Cheng Yin and others set up more than a thousand crossbows, buckled the crossbow machine, and the crossbow arrows shot out, and the crossbowman’s arms shook slightly!

Hundreds of Hundred Flower Lazimo servants were shot and killed by a powerful crossbow, and the corpse with the crossbow fell to the ground in all likelihood. A genius remembers 噺バ一Chinese m.x/8/1/z/w.c/o/m/

Yumen Pass has the structure of Wengcheng. Even if the first gate is broken, the Mongolian army will have to break through the second gate.

When attacking the second city gate, first faced the arrow rain of the first city wall, and secondly, the second city wall was a semi-circular structure, and the siege troops faced three arrows shooting.

Yumen Pass was reinforced by local guards, and also equipped with stone arrow towers, watch towers, horse faces and other defense facilities. For a while, it was difficult for the servants of the Mongol Empire to capture this pass.

The servant army who invaded Wengcheng was shot and killed hundreds of people by Han Sui and his generals. They withdrew from Wengcheng and did not dare to enter the city easily.

The main breakthrough of the Mongolian army is still in the city wall. As long as the city wall is captured, the Wengcheng will be broken.

Under the impetus of the servants, the siege tower gradually approached the city wall. The tall siege tower cast shadows, and the defenders were even more afraid of this behemoth.

The advantage of the defenders is that they are condescending, and the height of this kind of siege tower is also above the city wall. The Mongolian marksman deployed at the top of the siege tower can shoot the defenders unscrupulously.

The siege tower also has a suspension bridge. As long as you get close to the city wall and put down the suspension bridge, a steady stream of servants will flow up the city wall.

Xu Fengnian led the Fire Arrow team to release rockets to the siege tower. Thousands of rockets hit the tall siege tower. Most of the rockets were blocked by the cowhide covering the surface of the siege tower, making it difficult to ignite the siege tower.

A few rockets hit the wooden frame and were put out by specially arranged soldiers.

The walls are strong, and the siege party also summed up a set of methods to protect the siege equipment.

The siege tower is still approaching, this time Xu Fengnian directly used the crossbow and catapult to shoot at the siege tower!

The burly sergeant hit the crossbow machine with a hammer, and the thick crossbow shot hit the siege tower!

Several dozen kilograms of stones were thrown into the air, and then fell, hitting the archer on the siege tower!

The siege tower was bombarded by bed crossbows and catapults, and was finally destroyed. Some of the soldiers deployed in the siege tower were killed.

Before the defenders cheered, the second and third siege towers soon cast a shadow!

The thick suspension bridge fell, forming a bridge between the siege tower and the city wall, and the servant army hiding in the siege tower slammed the city wall!

Xu Fengnian drew the ring head knife, holding the shield in his left hand, and must kill the siege tower and burn it!

Wang Yanzhang followed Xu Fengnian, holding an iron gun in his hand, killing more than ten people in a row, forcibly blocking the enemy, making it impossible to cross the bridge.

The marksmen on the siege tower concentrated on Wang Yanzhang, and dozens of arrows covered Wang Yanzhang!

Ma Chao shot out, blocking the arrow rain!

On the other side, Xu Fengnian’s general, Yang Shihou, led a team of elite infantry to defend the city wall and drive out the enemy troops who had climbed to the city without moving!

Yang Shihou's army, each soldier held a silver gun, and ordered and prohibited them. Whenever someone went to the city, they would go forward to fight and use a dense spear formation to force them back.

"These people are really reckless!"

Li Hu beheaded a servant soldier, and the ring-saw knife was sharpened by hitting the iron armor.

The Mongols drove the servants to siege the city and regarded these servants as consumables, so they did not care about the life and death of the servants, so that the servants went forward and succeeded, continuously climbing the city and consuming the defenders.

The stones rolled down, the fire oil splashed, and from time to time, the servants fell while climbing the city wall and died unexpectedly.

The iron hook of the ladder truck hooked the city wall, and the servant army descended to the city at the urging of the Mongolian generals, and fought with the silver spear, like moths fighting fire.

"The morale of the defending army is so high that it will be difficult to capture Yumen Pass for a while."

Minister Yelv Chucai arrived.

After Tiemuzhen captured Dunhuang County, the government of Dunhuang County became the center of communication between Mobei, Monan, Tianshan and other places.

"Let Ali Hague be the siege boss, he has bonuses to siege troops and siege equipment."

Temujin gave up personally commanding the soldiers and horses to attack Yumen Pass, instead handing over the command to a general.

"Sweat, where are you going?"

Although Yelv Chucai was Temujin's prime minister, he only assisted Temujin in managing internal affairs, and persuaded Temujin to attach importance to Confucianism and calm people's hearts. Tactically, he could not advise Temujin.

"Huangfusong and Zhu Jun came to aid. I bypassed Yumen Pass with amazing troops, passed through the desert and Gobi, entered the pass from other sections of the Great Wall, and annihilated the reinforcements. There was no reinforcements outside Yumen Pass.

The Mongolian army was replaced by a siege-enhanced main general, and the pressure on the Yumenguan guards suddenly increased!

If you are Chutian, you know that there are some generals' characteristics that are suitable for siege, such as Le Yi, and the addition of the whole army's aura, treasure, and non-conflict lieutenant characteristics can provide a large number of bonuses for the siege troops.

Such as the cooperation of Le Yi, Le Jin and Ju Yi under Chu Tian's command.

Ali The Hague is a Mongolian general who is good at siege and draw.

When he took the place of Temujin's siege, the power of the siege equipment was strengthened!

Xu Fengnian ordered Wang Yanzhang to enter a siege tower, and burned the entire siege tower. The choking black smoke billowed and destroyed the entire siege tower. Dozens of servants who were too late to escape were burned to death.

Wang Yanzhang protruded from the thick smoke and returned to the city wall.

Xu Fengnian chopped down a servant soldier who had climbed into the city, and found that the arrow rain of the siege troops and the damage of the siege equipment increased, and the number of defenders who died under the arrow rain of the siege troops increased.

"Did they change the siege general..."

Xu Fengnian has rich combat experience and is keenly aware of the changes in the Mongolian army.

"They used a trebuchet!"

The defenders looked at the rocks falling from the sky in horror.

The Mongolian army siege of the city used trebuchets, and military commanders could increase the power of the trebuchets. With the help of gravity, dozens of kilograms of stones destroyed the corner of the arrow tower!

A crack appeared on one side of the stone arrow tower, the stones fell off, and the defenders below hurriedly dodge.

round after round of stone bombardment, trying to dismantle all the fortifications and turn the majestic wall of Yumen Pass into a smooth road!

"The power of their trebuchets is higher than that of all before. Is this a hero who can increase the power of the trebuchets?"

Xu Fengnian knows that there are some special heroes who have special bonus effects on siege equipment.

Han Empire also has such heroes, such as Liu Ye, who can provide bonuses for the Thunderbolt.

"Xiliang, fight to death!"

Facing the offensive of the Mongolian army, Xu Fengnian had no other choice but to fight to the death, defending Yumen Pass with all his strength, delaying Temujin here to prevent him from going to other battlefields!

The tragic offense and defense, under the premise that both sides have a certain amount of brains, strategy is difficult to work, only the strength and morale of the competition.

The Xiliang Legion guarded Yumen Pass firmly, Yumen closed, corpses were everywhere, and the corpses gradually piled up...

Temujin led a team of cavalry to leave.

Persian Khorasan region, the establishment of the Ili Khanate, attacked the capital of the Persian Empire, and the mine-dragging army was invincible.

One of the generals used a terrible trebuchet to destroy a city defended by a Persian army.

The coach drags mine riding a war horse, commanding the Mongolian army to invade the city and kill the Persian army in street fighting.

"With this general, it is easy to attack the city."

Tuolai was very satisfied with the performance of his troops and forced thousands of Persian troops to surrender.

His son Xu Liewu said: "It is said that the Persian emperor announced our crimes to many lords, intending to gather 300,000 soldiers and horses to retake the Khorasan area."

"Defeat the King of Persia, and then defeat the Arab Empire, West Asia is our possession. Loot this city for three days."

Drag Thunder allowed the looting of this city in order to keep the army's morale high.

Kublai hesitated a bit, trying to persuade his father to drag mine But thinking that the 300,000 army in Persia is approaching, if the morale consumed by the siege is not restored as soon as possible, then the Mongolian army may be defeated.

On the contrary, if the Ili Khanate and Persian servants led by Tuolei, Hulagu, Mengge, Kublai and others can defeat the 300,000 soldiers and horses called by the Persian emperor, then West Asia will become one of the territory of the Mongol Empire. .

The Chagatai Khanate is conquering Central Asia, the Golden Horde is conquering Eastern Europe, and the Wokotai Khanate is conquering the Western Regions. The quality of heroes of the Ili Khanate may be higher than that of other khanates. Only the main body of the Mongol Empire is Temujin. , Can surpass the Yili Khanate.

The enemies of the Ili Khanate are also extremely powerful enemies. The ancient Persian and Arab empires may be defeated in West Asia if they are not careful.

The general who commanded the siege troops to capture this Persian defender’s city, sitting under a dilapidated siege tower, watching the city become a sea of ​​flames.

This is the thirty-third city he captured in the Persian Empire for Tuolai, Xu Liewu and others.

The Persian Empire was terrified of the rapid expansion of the Ili Khanate, and 300,000 troops converged from all sides of the empire to the center of the empire.

Some Persian nobles and defeated generals who fled from the Khorasan area occupied by the Ili Khanate spread fear.

In their description, this group of enemies from the east are three feet tall, like giants. Their trebuchets can destroy city walls and smash mountains and rocks.

The Holy Meteor Cavalry, the Undead Army, the Parthian heavy cavalry, the Parthian archer, and the servants of various tribes gathered. The pressure on the Persian Empire may be even greater than that of the Han Empire.
