Chapter 563: The Collapsed Yumen Pass(1/2)

"The Bingzhou Army stayed in Hetao, recruited troops and supplemented the losses. The lord of Monan continued to stay in Monan and guarded against the Cavalry in Mobei to move south."

Chu Tian discovered that the battlefields of the Han Empire were in chaos, but Hetao and Monan were pacified as soon as possible and became his sphere of influence.

The lords of Monan were already unsteady. Chu Tian sent troops to pacify Monan, and these lords defected to Chu Tian's command.

He could transfer some of his troops to the Western Regions and drive Temujin back to the northern part of the desert.

This time he went to the Western Regions, the main force was Chu Tian’s Guards Corps.

Although there were some tricky troubles in Mingguan, Mingguan believed that he had the ability to deal with it. He did not need reinforcements except that he could not send a legion to the Western Regions Protectorate.

Chu Tian could probably understand the troubles encountered by Mingguan.

Generally speaking, the nomadic and fishing and hunting civilization was the most powerful in the northern desert and Liaodong.

The Huns, Turks, Mongolians, Goguryeo, Khitans, and Jurchens in the northern desert are famous.

Mingguan occupies Liaodong and the local fishing and hunting tribes are fierce in their customs, so Mingguan faces unprecedented pressure.

The Liaodong Army does not need additional reinforcements, and it is not easy to suppress many tribes in Liaodong with its own strength.

The brave old Qin also replied to Chu Tian that he could send 100,000 to 200,000 troops into the Western Regions and assist Huo'an in pacifying the Western Regions.

The Western Regions Protectorate is considered a relatively unlucky force, and all parties are enemies.

To support the Western Regions Protectorate, we must first recover the Hexi Corridor and open the passage from Yumen Pass to Luntai.

"The guards are all teleported to Jiuquan County, and then the troops go out of Yumen Pass to recover Dunhuang. The subsequent army will then directly teleport from the Central Plains to Luntai City of the Western Regions Protectorate."

Chu Tian planned to use the Guards to open up the Hexi Corridor.

This time, the transmission cost was extremely expensive. Chu Tian could not bring a million troops there, so he could only select the elite troops and go to the Western Regions to rescue the Protectorate.

After all, the Western Regions were one of the territory of the Han Empire, and they said that nothing could be captured. If you lose the teleportation array of Luntai City and want to recover the Western Regions in the future, it would be a longer and more expensive expedition.

The first batch of vanguard expeditionary forces were the guards commanded by Chu Tian himself.

The follow-up troops may be Le Yi's Jizhou Army or Wei Qing's Youzhou Army.

The old Qin of the ranks promised to dispatch one or two legions of more than 100,000 people to provide follow-up support.

With the force of the Guards, Xu Fengnian's Liangzhou Legion, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun's Eastern Han Legion were enough to recover Dunhuang County.

"You must be optimistic about Monan. There are hundreds of thousands of Mongolian cavalry in Mobei. As long as Temujin and others use the teleportation array to return to Mobei, they can go south at any time."

Chu Tian was worried that Temujin, who was unstable, would suddenly return to Mobei and lead the Mobei cavalry to the south, so he asked Yue Fei, Li Mu, Wei Qing and others to guard Monan and no longer allowed the Mongolian cavalry to enter the Hetao Plain.

This time, three generals were in charge of the south of the desert, which was as stable as a rock.

Furthermore, Chu Tian can constantly draw troops from the south of the Mo to enter the Western Regions as the main force.

The teleportation array is extremely convenient, but the gold and silver consumed are a bit exaggerated...

If possible, Chu Tian would rather bring less troops to the Western Regions. The more troops the greater the burden on the logistics.

Even if the Eastern Han Dynasty was unified, it would be difficult to call a million troops on an expedition.

Yumen Pass, the Xiong Pass, which was bombarded by Xiangyang artillery, was bumpy, and the arrow tower and the watchtower tower had been razed to the ground by Xiangyang artillery.

Although Xu Fengnian succeeded in attacking the Mongolian army's Xiangyang cannons, the Mongolian army's Arab craftsmen quickly created a batch of new Xiangyang cannons, and kept shooting huge rocks weighing 200 to Yumen Pass day and night.

The brutal huge rocks hit the city wall, and many defenders were killed by the huge rocks, which was terrifying.

Under the continuous bombardment of Xiangyang cannons, the city wall, which showed spider-web-like cracks, and the bricks and rammed earth layers fell off.

The Xiangyang cannon also has the effect of deterring morale. The defenders' morale was sluggish because of the continuous bombardment of the Xiangyang cannon.

The Mongolian army outside the pass was prepared for the sneak attacks by the defenders. Therefore, when Xu Fengnian left the city to attack again, he fought with the Roman army and other servants, each with losses and could not destroy the Xiangyang artillery.

"If you continue like this, Yumen Pass will be lost in less than ten days."

Xu Fengnian discovered that the city walls of Yumen Pass were destroyed.

Although his Xiliang Legion was constantly repairing and strengthening the city walls, the temporary female walls were not as strong as the original city walls, and Xiangyang cannons could easily destroy these earth walls.

"Chu Zimou and Lao Qin have agreed to send troops to expedition to the Western Regions and open up the Hexi Corridor. As long as we hold on for a while and solve the battlefield in the Western Regions, the doomsday of the Mongol Empire is coming."

Xu Fengnian led a team of Xiliang soldiers to patrol the walls and saw the bumpy walls, all of which were dents smashed by huge rocks shot by Xiangyang cannons, which was shocking.

The Mongolian army threw at least thousands of huge rocks at Yumen Pass, and even the majestic city walls could not withstand the continuous bombardment.

Thousands of defenders were killed under the bombardment of Xiangyang artillery, which was more of a blow to morale. Not many defenders could defend the city walls at the risk of being hit by a huge rock, let alone seeing their companions with their own eyes.

Ma Chao followed Xu Fengnian and witnessed the sluggish morale of the Yumen Pass defenders, so he said to Xu Fengnian: "Lord, Ma Chao is willing to lead a team of cavalry out of the city, burn the catapult, and unravel the siege of Yumen Pass!"

"Mongolian cavalry is prepared for a long time and should not take risks easily. Wait patiently for reinforcements within the pass to arrive, and the crisis will naturally be resolved."

Xu Fengnian was worried about losing Ma Chao, so she did not agree to Ma Chao's out of the game.

The Yumen Pass battle was extremely fierce, and any military general could die in battle. Several Han Sui's generals were killed, and several Xu Fengnian's generals were killed. One of them was still killed by a huge rock fired by Xiangyang cannon while defending the city wall.

Even if Ma Chao reached the peak, he dared not say that he could survive the bombardment of Xiangyang cannons.

"The Mongolian army has attacked the city again!"

"Lord, be careful!"

The scouts responsible for observing the movements of the Mongolian army issued a warning!

boom!

A huge rock fell, smashing two defenders who could not dodge into meat sauce. The impact force shattered the rocks and sputtered the gravel!

boom!

Another huge rock hit, and there was flames and wolf smoke on the surface. After hitting the city wall, the gravel rolled with flames!

"Cover your mouth and nose!"

Xu Fengnian's scalp was numb, and the wolf smoke not only choked, but also had herbs with paralyzed nerve effects, weakening the combat effectiveness of the defenders.

The Mongolian army's Xiangyang cannons were not only boulders, but also fireballs and wolf smoke!

The fire spread at Yumen Pass and the wolf smoke rolled, and this ancient pass became a purgatory.

The Mongolian siege's lord Ali Hague created fifty Xiangyang artillery artillery and continued to bombard Yumen Pass, launching the most fierce bombardment on Yumen Pass!

The Xiangyang Cannon shot a huge rock of hundreds of kilograms, a fireball with flames, and the lit wolf smoke into Yumen Pass, turning Yumen Pass into a sea of ​​fire!

The Mongolian army, which has the siege lord general and Xiangyang artillery, has strong siege ability and is no longer limited to field battles.

"The burning fire is like the catastrophe of the end of the world."

The Roman hero Crassus, who was wandering in the East, witnessed this tragic offense and defense.

The Mongolian army used all the siege methods to attack Yumen Pass, turning this majestic pass into a sea of ​​fire. Its siege ability surprised Crassu.

The Han army at Yumen Pass is also tenacious. It has been persistent until now, but Yumen Pass has not yet fallen.

It is estimated that the Yumen Pass war will end, and only broken walls will remain in Yumen Pass.

"Prepare to capture Yumen Pass!"

Ali Hague drew out his sword and ordered the legions to capture Yumen Pass.

Yumen Pass has delayed them for too much time.

The existence of Yumen Pass allows the Han army to support the Western Regions at any time and must conquer it.

Rumble!!!

Accompanied by a loud noise that shook the sky and the earth, a section of the city wall at Yumen Pass could finally be unable to withstand the high-intensity bombardment, collapsed and sand filled with dust!

A gap appeared in the majestic Yumen Pass!

"The time has come. If you capture Yumen Pass, everyone will be rewarded!"

Ali Hague issued an offensive order, the Mongolian army, the Roman army and other minions, with more than 100,000 people gathered into a wave and hit the gap in Yumen Pass!

Some of the city walls of Yumen Pass collapsed, causing chaos in all the defenders. The solid city walls they believed they were relying on collapsed, and Yumen Pass became a smooth road. The Mongolian army and its servants could completely attack the gap and enter the pass through the gap!

The veterans of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Huangfu Song and Zhu Ye, led their troops to block the gap and fought with the arrival of the Roman army at the gap!

The eagle flag of the Roman Empire and the battle flag of the Han Empire confronted, and the two Eastern and Western civilizations confronted in unexpected forms!

The Mongolian army not only attacked the gap, but also set up ladders, climbed the city walls, and applied pressure on both sides!

The Yumen Pass defenders are in a state of madness. If more and more enemy troops are allowed to attack the gap or above the city wall, then Yumen Pass will be lost!

"The enemy's morale is in full swing!!"

After Ju Yi defected to Chu Tian, ​​he soon participated in the fierce battle at Yumen Pass. When he saw the dense Mongolian army, his scalp was numb.

After a continuous battle, the eight hundred dead soldiers were less than six hundred. They followed Ju Yi, loaded crossbow arrows, and shot and killed the enemy with powerful crossbows.

However, the role of hundreds of first-row dead soldiers in large-scale battles is limited. The rain of arrows shot by thousands of Mongolian archers below can kill some first-row dead soldiers.

boom!

There was another loud bang, and a fireball fell into the Dead Warrior First. The fireball burst and flames splashed everywhere. More than a dozen Dead Warrior First Warrior First was covered with the sputtered flames and screamed!

The thick smoke from the flames interfered with the defenders, and Ju Yi and many of the first-row dead soldiers had their cheeks blackened, and their vision was affected.

"The Mongol Empire's catapult..."
