Chapter 586: Bloody Battle Wheel

   Boom!

A huge boulder hit the wall of Luntai City, and the wall trembles. The boulder shattered into several pieces, splashing around, and the morale of the surrounding defenders dropped.

The Mongolian army launched a decisive battle in the desert and Luntai City at the same time. The number of Xiangyang guns used by Wokuodai and Yelu Dashi to attack Luntai City was as many as 70!

Seventy large counterweight catapults bombarded the brick-clad walls of Luntai City day and night. All gates and arrow towers of Luntai City were destroyed by catapults, and thousands of soldiers were killed and injured!

On the east side of the city wall, cobweb-like cracks have appeared. The city bricks of the city wall are shattered, exposing the rammed earth layer inside, and the rammed earth layer cannot withstand the continuous bombardment. The mud splashes and is about to collapse.

Xu Fengnian, who supported Luntai City, experienced the collapse of the Yumenguan city wall, so he noticed that the east wall of Luntai City had a tendency to collapse, so he hurriedly found Huo An: "The city walls of Luntai City simply cannot withstand this level of bombardment. It may collapse at any time. Once there is a gap, the Mongolian army commander will drive straight in, and Luntai City is bound to fall!"

Huo An was reminded by Xu Fengnian and brought in Chen Tang: "You lead a team of infantrymen, use drawings to build earth and wooden fences behind the east city wall in case of emergency. Once the east city wall collapses, you will immediately seize the gap, and at the same time Defend the earth barriers and wooden fences, and don't let the enemy commanders drive in."

Chen Tang solemnly: "The last general takes the command."

The defenders faced the full-scale offensive from Wokuotai and Yelu Dashi, and the pressure surged. They frantically built earth fortresses and wooden fences, and at the same time competed with enemy soldiers on the walls.

Wang Yanzhang killed a hundred people, his blood was covered in his armor, almost all of the enemy's blood.

Wo Kuotai and Yelu Dashi seemed to be mad, urging an army to attack Luntai City.

The previous offensives have not been so fierce!

Obviously, even Wo Kuotai and Yelu Dashi realized that this was a decisive battle with the Han army. If they were slightly relaxed, the fate of the Mongol Empire and various khanates might end here!

Boom! ! !

A stone weighing 300 kilograms hit the rammed earth layer, the soil collapsed, a landslide occurred in a wall weighing tens of tons, gravel and soil rolled down, dozens of defenders and enemy troops were crushed and destroyed. Submerged in mud!

The east city wall that Xiangyang artillery bombarded was unable to withstand the bombardment of Xiangyang artillery night and day, and it had begun to collapse!

This is just a precursor to the collapse of the east wall!

probably noticed that the durability of the east city wall had reached its limit, Wo Kuotai ordered the Mongolian army attacking the east city wall to retreat, and then used the Xiangyang Cannon to bombard the east city wall!

"Remove the city wall!"

Xu Fengnian urged the defenders on the wall he was responsible for to withdraw from the wall.

Soon, the city wall will collapse for a while, and any defenders who stay on the city wall may die!

Dozens of boulders were thrown into the air by a large trebuchet, and then fell, giving the final blow to the east wall!

rumbling! !

The east city wall was once again subjected to fierce bombardment, the wall that reached its limit collapsed, and the dust in the sky was lifted into the air!

"Ahem, ahem..."

The defenders covered their mouth and nose, and when the dust receded, a thirty-meter-wide gap appeared on the east wall!

For the defenders, such a gap is deadly!

"Wang Tiejian, keep the gap!"

"Yes!"

Wang Yanzhang, as Xu Fengnian's most ferocious general, is also the fierce general who has followed Xu Fengnian for the longest time. He made great contributions to Xu Fengnian. At this time, there was a gap in the city wall, and he immediately led his troops to plug the gap!

"Those who break into the round, enjoy ten cattle and sheep!"

**|

A ten thousand captain led the cavalry to attack the gap, wanting to make a victory in front of Wo Kuotai!

Wokuotai was the second candidate for the Great Khan of the Mongol Empire. If you can get the pros and cons of Wokuotai, maybe your status can be higher!

"Continue to bombard other walls."

Yelu Dashi seemed dissatisfied with the opening of the 30-meter gap. Xiangyang Artillery continued to bombard other broken sections of the city wall, intending to razor the east wall of Luntai City to the ground!

"Block them!"

Wang Yanzhang's iron spear pointed forward, and hundreds of strong crossbows were shot out from the gap. The sharp crossbow arrows shot the light cavalry at the forefront, and more than a hundred light cavalry died.

The ruins of the city wall blocked the horses of the Mongolian cavalry. The captain could only dismount the horse and step forward with his companions to try to open the gap.

"Dead!"

Wang Yanzhang blocked the gap, and killed a centurion with a single shot. The heavy iron gun of a hundred catties, without armor can block its penetration, and even the impact can kill people!

There are heavy infantry and crossbowmen led by Wang Yanzhang to block the gap, and tens of thousands of Mongolian troops can’t open the gap!

Wang Yanzhang was like a **** of war. The iron spear hit an enemy soldier, and the enemy soldier flew out, hitting another enemy soldier coming from behind. The two heads were bloodied!

"The lord ordered me to come and help you!"

Yang Shihou led the remaining silver spears to assist in the battle. The silver spears were all high-level spearmen, who were able to attack and defend well, and saw the Mongolian cavalry in the gap.

After the Mongolian cavalry did not have the advantage of the horses, even if they used Xiangyang artillery to blast through the gap, it was difficult to advance.

However, even so, a collapsed city wall is always infinitely better than a standing wall. The towering city walls are prohibitive.

A young silver-clad and white-robed captain was holding a long spear in his hand and killed the Mongolian cavalry who surrounded Wang Yanzhang, with blood splashing on his white robe.

The injured Ma Chao saw that the situation was critical, and stepped forward to make a relief for Wang Yanzhang.

"Disciple, this place is dangerous, your injury has not healed, and you should not stay for long."

Wang Yanzhang killed a few more enemy soldiers and urged Ma Chao to leave.

Ma Chao's force is not at its peak, and he was shot by Liu Shi not long ago. The Mongolian cavalry attacked at the gap, and even Wang Yanzhang was in danger of death, not to mention the injured Ma Chao.

"I am a Xiliang man, how can I give up the war lightly!"

Ma Chao’s spear pierced through an enemy soldier, and the killing on the battlefield not only did not scare him, but was a little bit enthusiastic!

Maybe he was born for the battlefield.

"Be careful!"

Wang Yanzhang does not stop Ma Chao, but kills the enemy together with Ma Chao.

On the battlefield, from the emperor to the soldier, it is possible to be killed or captured. If you can survive, you must have luck in addition to force!

"Wang Tieqiang, Ma Chao and others are guarding the gap, and the Mongolian cavalry is temporarily unable to enter the city. The construction of earth fortresses and wooden fences must be accelerated."

Chen Tang urges the craftsman.

If Luntai City has special talents like Li Jie, a craftsman in the Northern Song Dynasty, the speed of building fortifications can also increase.

It is a pity that Luntai City does not have a special talent like Li Jie, so Chen Tang can only urge it anxiously.

An earth barrier and wooden fence are behind the gap in the east city wall, quickly forming.

Wo Kuotai commanded the cavalry to fight for the gap, and found that thousands of people had been killed in the battle, but could not help but frown.

If Xu Fengnian’s reinforcements did not enter Luntai City, perhaps this time the east wall collapsed, and the Mongolian army could take advantage of the decline in the morale of the defenders, and then attack Luntai City in the Han Empire.

However, Xu Fengnian's fierce general blocked the cavalry in Wokuotai.

"Yelü Dashi, led the cavalry to break the gap."

Wokuotai pinned its hopes on Yelu Dashi.

Ordinary captain, the ability is far worse than that of Yelu Dashi.

Yelu Dashi shook his head: "Even if it is a terminal general, lacking fierce generals and high-level heavy infantry, it is impossible to win the gap."

Yelü Dashi muttered in his heart, with Wang Yanzhang's force, coupled with Yang Shihou's high-level infantry silver spear, the following horses and cavalry went to attack the gap, he was not Wang Yanzhang and Yang Shihou's opponent.

"So, how do we take this city?"

After   Wokuotai bombarded a section of the city wall with Xiangyang, he couldn't take advantage of the situation to take down Luntai City, and he was a little disappointed.

"Not as good as this..."

Yelu Dashi took the initiative to make suggestions for Wokuotai when he was in trouble.

Wo Kuotai looked cautious, and after listening to Yelu Dashi's suggestion, he immediately issued an order according to his suggestion.

The Mongol army that had attacked the gap retreated, and it was the servant army led by Wusun soldiers who attacked the gap.

The combat power of the servants of the Wusun Kingdom is far lower than that of the Mongolian cavalry, and their offensive is much weaker than the Mongolian cavalry.

Wang Yanzhang and Ma Chao can easily kill the servant army of Wusun country.

Whether Wang Yanzhang, Ma Chao or Yang Shihou, the pressure suddenly decreased.

Wusun is a great country in the Western Regions and it can be regarded as good at cavalry, but Wusun's cavalry dismounted to fight for the gap, and its combat power plummeted.

Holding a horn bow, Xu Fengnian shot and killed a Wusun soldier, and shouted to Huo An who was commanding not far away: "These servants, originally supposed to be the servants controlled by the Protector of the Western Regions, have become nests. Servant of the Broad Terrace?"

Huo An replied dissatisfied: "His uncle, the 36 countries of the Western Regions are all wall and grass, and whoever is the strongest. Now the king Wusun who is captured by Wo Kuotai, I still kill the old king Wusun and choose his nobleman to become the new one. King Wusun, he didn't expect him to betray me!"

"The way your Western Regions Protectorate controls the 36 countries needs to be changed."

"Do you think I don't want to? If no nobles are appointed as kings, how can I rule the 36 countries in the Western Regions in a few years? When I regain control of the 36 countries this time, I have an excuse to cleanse the nobles of the 36 countries!"

Huo An was also repeatedly angered by the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions. Temujin attacked the Western Regions. Many nobles of the Western Regions betrayed him, which just provided an excuse for him to reorganize the order of the Western Regions.

However, everything can only be carried out after the Western Regions Protectorate regains control of the Western Regions.

"Strange, how come Wokuotai is replaced by the low-power Wusun country servant army, is it possible that Wokuotai doesn't plan to fight for the gap?"

After Xu Fengnian discovered that Wo Kuotai replaced Mongolian cavalry with Wusun soldiers, the pressure was reduced.

Wusun soldiers, even if Huo An doesn’t think much, Huo An even has the characteristic of suppressing Wusun soldiers, weakening the combat power of Wusun soldiers.

Suddenly, Xu Fengnian looked at the Xiangyang Cannon standing outside the city, as if thinking of something terrible, his expression changed: "I understand..."
