Chapter 549： Xiangyang Cannon!
"Fortunately, you helped me in time, otherwise I might be wiped out."
Huangfusong, Zhu Jun, Xu Huang and others almost lost their strength, and joined the generals such as Feng Yi, Zhang Xi, Ju Yi, Xie Ai and others who came to support.
Among these people, Xie Ai, who is in white clothes and white hat, is a strange person. Even Huangfu Song doesn’t know his origin, but he is from Dunhuang, Liangzhou. He has the ability to command soldiers and horses. He was appointed by Lao Qin. The prefect of Wuwei County, guard against Xu Fengnian.
At this time Yumen Pass was in trouble, Xie Ai immediately counted the soldiers and horses and came to support.
The 30,000 Xiliang Army is a force that cannot be underestimated.
Temujin didn't know which generals, soldiers and horses sent by the Han Empire to support Yumen Pass, and would not dare to act rashly for a while.
"I waited for the general's order to help defend Yumen Pass, and happened to meet this person. This person was widely scouts in Jiuquan County, originally to deal with Xu Fengnian and monitor one of Jiuquan County's actions. It just came in handy."
Feng Yi met Xie Ai on the way. Xie Ai's scouts in Jiuquan County learned that a Mongolian army was going south, so he joined Feng Yi and came to rescue together.
Huangfu Song looked at Xie Ai, this person did have some abilities, otherwise Lao Qin would not hand over the important Wuwei County to him.
"The Hexi Corridor has so many soldiers and horses that have been transferred here. Can Jiuquan County and Wuwei County have enough troops to guard?"
Huangfusong thought of Wuwei County sending 30,000 people to rescue, which is a good thing, but it also means that Wuwei County's troops are empty.
"The general sent not only one legion, but two legions."
Not only Feng Yi's thorn-cutting army, but also Cao Ren's iron wall army, directly consuming gold and silver, using the teleportation formation, to reach Xiliang from Jizhou.
To this end, Chutian paid millions of taels of silver just to keep the Hexi Corridor.
The Hexi Corridor cannot be easily lost, and Yumen Pass cannot be easily lost.
Only then did Huangfusong and Zhu Jun feel relieved, and they joined the two legions with more than 100,000 troops to guard against Tie Muzhen and continue marching towards Yumen Pass.
Once the Yumen Pass defenders receive more than 100,000 reinforcements, it will be extremely difficult for the Mongolian army to capture Yumen Pass.
At Yumen Pass, the defenders led by Xu Fengnian blocked the onslaught of the Mongolian army, and the trebuchet destroyed almost all the arrow towers.
Even the wall at Yumen Pass is already scarred.
The Xiliang Army did not retreat.
Xu Fengnian personally shot and killed an enemy soldier trying to climb the city wall with a bow, and his armor was full of sword marks.
When reinforcements from the Han Empire appeared behind Yumen Pass, the Xiliang Army cheered.
Temujin bypassed the northern desert and broke through the Great Wall. The Yumen Pass defenders almost became a lone army, but now it seems that Temuzhen’s plan failed. The reinforcements of the Han Empire arrived at Yumen Pass smoothly, increasing Yumen Pass’s force three or four times.
"Unexpectedly, Chu Zimou did as expected and dispatched the army to support him, otherwise he would almost be unable to return to the pass."
Xu Fengnian was fortunate.
The situation is not optimistic. The reinforcements will not come again. The Mongolian trebuchets and servants will consume all the defenders until they surrender.
"Unexpectedly, one day, you can guard Yumen Pass. Even if there are 100,000 enemy troops outside Yumen Pass, you can never cross the Yumen Pass for half a step."
Huangfu Song, also a general of Xiliang, looked down on the Mongolian Legion under the city.
He has learned about the most powerful cavalry in the Mongol Empire, and looking at ordinary Mongol cavalry, he is not very afraid.
The general of the Mongolian army commanding the siege is Ali Hague, a hero from Xue Jun, who can provide bonuses to siege equipment and siege troops.
Ali Hague obviously couldn't bring Huangfu Song a sense of oppression.
The characteristics of the emperor are often more domineering, and it is difficult for ordinary generals to contend with them. Ali Haye is much weaker than Temuzhen.
"Tie Muzhen is in the Hexi Corridor. Why not smash the Mongolian army outside the city, recover Dunhuang County, and open up the passage with the Western Regions?"
After Zhang Xi arrived, he immediately proposed an attack.
Xu Fengnian nodded: "I have this intention."
The most troublesome commanders like Temujin, Subutai, Zhebye, and Muhuali are not on the battlefield of Yumen Pass. As long as the Han generals are strong enough, they may be able to defeat the Mongolian army at Yumen Pass.
Xu Fengnian got the soldiers and horses of several veterans and young generals, and he is confident to go out to meet Ali Hague!
"Wang Tiejian, count the Dragon Xiangjun!"
Xu Fengnian immediately prepared an army for counter-offensive.
Suddenly, Han Sui, standing on the watchtower, reported Liang Xing an important news-the reinforcements of the Ali Hague Army had also arrived!
In this support army, there are thousands of people with blond hair and blue eyes, unlike other Mongolian cavalry.
Not only that, the costumes of these thousands of people made Xu Fengnian very familiar.
"Roman legion? This should be the legion formed by Temujin using captured Roman soldiers..."
Xu Fengnian and all the princes of the Han Empire knew that the Roman tycoon Krasu was captured by Temujin during the Third National War, and he was considered the most unlucky Roman tycoon.
Temujin can also be regarded as an acquaintance, using the Roman eagle flag to rebuild the Roman legion for Crassus.
This Roman legion is a legion composed of real Roman citizens. It has a higher combat power and is not comparable to a servant army.
The eagle flag was deployed, and indeed there was a Roman legion infested. This Roman legion is dominated by Roman heavy infantry, paired with Mongolian cavalry, the cavalry is no longer the weakness of the Roman legion.
"The plan to stop going out and attack the Mongolian army!"
Xu Fengnian had never played against the Roman Legion and was uncertain about the true strength of the Roman Legion, so he did not dare to act rashly.
After all, the Roman Legion is a well-known unit.
Outside the Yumen Pass, the unlucky Krasu was ordered to lead the Roman legion. There were five thousand in number, but they were all high-level arms.
He had to follow the orders of the Mongolian Great Khan.
There was also a team of Arab craftsmen who arrived with the Roman legions.
Arab craftsmen brought precious drawings, and they also mastered the skills of making some special equipment.
"An unprecedented siege equipment will be put into use to conquer this ancient pass."
It was not the Roman legions of Krassus that Ali Hague had high hopes for.
Although the Roman Legion is indeed very good at hand-to-hand combat, the Roman Legion cannot be supplemented for the Mongol Empire, which means it is also a consumable and cannon fodder.
It's just that the cost of this consumable is relatively high.
What Ali Hague really valued was the Arab craftsmen who came to assist in the attack on Yumen Pass.
The top craftsmen of the Arab Empire have skills. As long as they have extremely precious drawings, a new type of trebuchet will be manufactured-Xiangyang Cannon.
This counterweight trebuchet uses a winch to lift heavy objects, and transforms kinetic energy into kinetic energy by the potential energy generated when the configured weight falls, and throws the stones at the other end of the lever with great power.
In "Lord", only with construction drawings can the corresponding siege equipment be produced.
Xiangyang Cannon is already the pinnacle of the cold weapon era!
This time, Temujin took out the hole card of Xiangyang Cannon, in order to capture Yumen Pass as soon as possible and defeat the princes of the Han Empire.
Arab emperor craftsmen build siege equipment day and night.
Temujin, who invaded the Hexi Corridor, ransacked the towns along the way, unable to annihilate the army of Huangfusong and Zhu Jun, so he planned to take advantage of the virtual attack to capture the government of Jiuquan County.
However, Cao Ren and the petted Iron Wall Legion arrived and stood firm at Jiuquan County, and Temujin had to divide his troops and take several towns.
"Muhuali in Hetao is asking for help. He is being attacked by the cavalry of the Han Empire. Please Khan give orders!"
When Temujin was preparing to open up the battlefield behind the Hexi Corridor, the coaches Muhuali and Bor in Monan suddenly fell into an unprecedented crisis. The commanders of the Han Empire, Yue Fei and Li Mu, aggressively attacked the Hetao area and planned to encircle the two legions.
Temujin fell into a brief silence after learning that the Han Empire had sent two commanders worthy of vigilance.
No matter Yue Fei or Li Mu, they are one of the top cavalry commanders, Mu Huali can hardly support it alone.
As for Bolhu, one of the four cowardly Xue, he was even worse than Mu Huali, Yue Fei, Li Mu and others.
"It seems necessary to go to Monan. Or should the decisive battle be in Mobei?"
The Temujin Legion quickly left Jiuquan County, carrying the gold and silver obtained from the plunder, and disappeared outside the pass.
The Hexi Corridor temporarily restored calm.
The battle at Yumen Pass is still going on, and the Mongolian army has built a number of siege towers, ladder trucks, and trebuchets.
This time, the trebuchet that bombarded Yumen Pass was even more terrifying. The huge boulder weighing two to three hundred catties fell from the sky, smashing a warrior defending the city into meat sauce!
The gate tower was hit by a huge boulder, with a bang, and a corner collapsed, shocking!
The new trebuchet used by the Mongolian Legion is more powerful and has a longer range, coupled with the bonus of some Mongolian generals to the siege equipment, resulting in dense and destructive meteorites violently bombarding the city walls!
boom!
A crack appeared on the wall of Yumen Pass, and the bricks wrapped around the rammed earth shattered and fell off. Even the soldiers on the wall felt their feet shaking!
The average trebuchet is not so scary.
The Xiliang Army Corps, who was guarding Yumen Pass, quickly realized that the Mongolian Army had replaced a new trebuchet!
This kind of catapult, the Han Empire did not have a corresponding drawing, and could not be manufactured.
Xu Fengnian seemed to think of a corresponding large-scale siege equipment, and his face turned pale.
In the era of cold weapons, the Mongolian empire besieged the fortified Xiangyang city for a long time. Later, the Mongolian army was assisted by craftsmen from the Western Regions to manufacture a large counterweight trebuchet, which was the Xiangyang Cannon, which was used to bombard Fancheng and successfully captured Fancheng and forced the defenders of Xiangyang to surrender.
The Xiangyang Cannon is already the pinnacle of the Cold Weapon Age, and it still belongs to the scope of the stone cannon.
If you want to surpass the Xiangyang Cannon, then you must make a real cannon-the original bronze cannon.
After Yumen Pass, the siege equipment used by the Mongolian army to bomb Yumen Pass is probably the legendary Xiangyang Cannon!
"If it is really Xiangyang Cannon, then the pressure we have to bear will be even greater..."
Xu Fengnian knew what the appearance of Xiangyang Cannon meant.
The defenders had to withstand the bombardment of the Xiangyang Cannon and the tremendous psychological pressure brought by them, and defend Yumen Pass.
Not only that, the Xiangyang Cannon destroyed all the gate towers, arrow towers, and battlements, and killed soldiers. This is not the worst situation.
The worst situation is that if the city wall is bombarded by Xiangyang, the Mongolian army will swarm up. If there is no defender of the city wall, whether it can hold Yumen Pass or not, there are two more questions.
"Making thirty large Xiangyang cannons and razing Yumenguan to the ground."
Seeing the power of the Xiangyang Cannon, the general of the Mongolian army, Ali Hague, almost dismantled the towering gates on the city wall. He was very satisfied with the performance of the Xiangyang Cannon, so he greatly ordered the craftsmen of the Arab Empire to produce Xiangyang Cannon for himself.
Xiangyang cannons gradually took shape under the city, and they continued to add to the ranks of siege equipment. The situation of the Yumenguan guards became more and more critical.
The boulder thrown by the Xiangyang Cannon would be seriously injured even if a general was hit.
When one of Han Sui's troops was leading the cavalry to patrol the city defenses, he was hit by a 200-jin boulder and died immediately.
The Xiangyang Cannon brought a huge psychological shadow to the defenders.
Even if the Mongolian archers tried to pile up the dirt hills and shoot arrows at the defenders from high ground, the defenders could block the arrows of the Mongolian archers as long as they held up their shields.
But facing the huge boulder projected by the Xiangyang Cannon, even holding a shield to block it is of no avail. The power of boulders is far greater than that of ordinary crossbows.
"The Xiangyang Cannon has shaken the military's mind, and we must try to burn it. The number of Xiangyang Cannons under the city exceeds 20. If the number of Xiangyang Cannons is allowed to increase, Yumen Pass will be difficult to hold..."
Xu Fengnian summoned a group of military generals, Feng Yi, Zhang Yun, Ju Yi, Xie Ai, Huang Fusong, Zhu Jun and other reinforcement generals, and they were all under the jurisdiction of Xu Fengnian at this time.
Temujin left behind and not only dispatched the Roman legion of Krasu to help, he also brought Arab military craftsmen who could make Xiangyang Cannons to attack Yumen Pass. Xu Fengnian had to take the initiative to attack and destroy Xiangyang Cannons.
The existence of Xiangyang Cannon seriously threatened the safety of Yumen Pass.
If Xiangyang is allowed to bombard Yumenguan will be in jeopardy.
"The trebuchet that attacked the Mongolian army this time out of the city is extremely dangerous. But the general died in a hundred battles. Since he chose to guard Yumen Pass, he must be prepared for the horse leather shroud."
Xu Fengnian called the generals to mobilize.
The enemy forces have stepped up their offensives at Yumen Pass time and time again, and even cards like Xiangyang Cannon have been revealed. It can be seen that the Mongol Empire is bound to win the Yumen Pass.
The more the other party wants something, the less he can't give it to the other party.
Wang Yanzhang takes the initiative to take the lead, and Ma Chao is willing to follow.
After Ma Teng became a Hanchen, he volunteered for his son Ma Chao. Although he was worried about his safety, he couldn't shirk his fault.
Zhang Xi and Ju Yi each took part in the attack with weapons.
Xie Ai did not actively participate in the burning of trebuchets: "Xia Xia is not good at bowing horses, so I can only command above the city wall to respond to you."
Huangfusong, Zhu Jun, Xu Huang and others almost lost their strength, and joined the generals such as Feng Yi, Zhang Xi, Ju Yi, Xie Ai and others who came to support.
Among these people, Xie Ai, who is in white clothes and white hat, is a strange person. Even Huangfu Song doesn’t know his origin, but he is from Dunhuang, Liangzhou. He has the ability to command soldiers and horses. He was appointed by Lao Qin. The prefect of Wuwei County, guard against Xu Fengnian.
At this time Yumen Pass was in trouble, Xie Ai immediately counted the soldiers and horses and came to support.
The 30,000 Xiliang Army is a force that cannot be underestimated.
Temujin didn't know which generals, soldiers and horses sent by the Han Empire to support Yumen Pass, and would not dare to act rashly for a while.
"I waited for the general's order to help defend Yumen Pass, and happened to meet this person. This person was widely scouts in Jiuquan County, originally to deal with Xu Fengnian and monitor one of Jiuquan County's actions. It just came in handy."
Feng Yi met Xie Ai on the way. Xie Ai's scouts in Jiuquan County learned that a Mongolian army was going south, so he joined Feng Yi and came to rescue together.
Huangfu Song looked at Xie Ai, this person did have some abilities, otherwise Lao Qin would not hand over the important Wuwei County to him.
"The Hexi Corridor has so many soldiers and horses that have been transferred here. Can Jiuquan County and Wuwei County have enough troops to guard?"
Huangfusong thought of Wuwei County sending 30,000 people to rescue, which is a good thing, but it also means that Wuwei County's troops are empty.
"The general sent not only one legion, but two legions."
Not only Feng Yi's thorn-cutting army, but also Cao Ren's iron wall army, directly consuming gold and silver, using the teleportation formation, to reach Xiliang from Jizhou.
To this end, Chutian paid millions of taels of silver just to keep the Hexi Corridor.
The Hexi Corridor cannot be easily lost, and Yumen Pass cannot be easily lost.
Only then did Huangfusong and Zhu Jun feel relieved, and they joined the two legions with more than 100,000 troops to guard against Tie Muzhen and continue marching towards Yumen Pass.
Once the Yumen Pass defenders receive more than 100,000 reinforcements, it will be extremely difficult for the Mongolian army to capture Yumen Pass.
At Yumen Pass, the defenders led by Xu Fengnian blocked the onslaught of the Mongolian army, and the trebuchet destroyed almost all the arrow towers.

"Tie Muzhen is in the Hexi Corridor. Why not smash the Mongolian army outside the city, recover Dunhuang County, and open up the passage with the Western Regions?"
After Zhang Xi arrived, he immediately proposed an attack.
