"Fortunately, you have timely help, otherwise we may be wiped out."

Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, Xu Huang and others were almost exhausted and met with Feng Yi, Zhang He, Ju Yi, Xie Ai and other military generals who came to support him.

Among these people, Xie Ai, who was dressed in white and hated, was a strange man. Even Huangfu Song didn't know his origin. He only knew that he was from Dunhuang, Liangzhou, and had a certain ability to command troops. He was appointed as the prefect of Wuwei County by the old Qin of the Ranran to guard against Xu Fengnian.

At this time, in trouble at Yumen Pass, Xie Ai immediately counted his troops and came to support him.

The 30,000 Xiliang Army is a combat power that cannot be underestimated.

Temujin was not sure which generals and troops sent by the Han Empire to support Yumen Pass, and he would not dare to act rashly for the time being.

"After the order of the general, we came to assist in defending Yumen Pass, and happened to meet this person. This person distributed scouts in Jiuquan County, originally to deal with Xu Fengnian, and monitored one of the actions of Jiuquan County. It happened to come in handy."

Feng Yi met Xie Ai on the way. Xie Ai's scouts set up in Jiuquan County and learned that a Mongolian army was heading south, so he joined forces with Feng Yi to come together to rescue.

Huangfu Song looked at Xie Ai. This person was indeed capable, otherwise the old Qin of Ranran would not have handed over the important Wuwei County to him.

"There are so many soldiers in the Hexi Corridor that they have been transferred here. Can Jiuquan County and Wuwei County have enough troops to guard it?"

Huangfu Song thought that Wuwei County sent 30,000 people to rescue him, which was certainly a good thing, but it also meant that Wuwei County had empty troops.

"The General not only sent one legion, but two legions."

Not only Feng Yi's Thorn-Slaying Legion, but also Cao Ren's Iron Wall Legion, directly consumed gold and silver, and used the teleportation array to reach Xiliang from Jizhou.

For this purpose, Chu Tian paid million taels of silver just to protect the Hexi Corridor.

The Hexi Corridor cannot be easily lost, nor can Yumen Pass be easily lost.

Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun were relieved and joined more than 100,000 troops with the two legions to guard against Temujin and continue to march towards Yumen Pass.

Once the Yumen Pass defenders are supplemented by 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 Mongolian army's repeated attacks, and the catapult destroyed almost all the arrow towers.

Even the walls of Yumen Pass are already scarred.

However, the Xiliang army defended to the death and refused to retreat.

Xu Fengnian personally took a bow and shot and killed an enemy soldier trying to climb the city wall. His armor was covered with marks of swords.

When reinforcements from the Han Empire appeared behind Yumen Pass, the Western Liang army cheered.

Temujin detoured the desert in the north and broke through the Great Wall. The Yumen Pass defenders almost became alone. But now it seems that Temujin's plan failed and the reinforcements of the Han Empire arrived at Yumen Pass smoothly, increasing the strength of Yumen Pass by three or four times.

"I didn't expect that Chu Zimou would indeed send a legion to support him as promised, otherwise he would almost be unable to return to the pass."

Xu Fengnian was very grateful.

The situation is not optimistic, and reinforcements will not come again. The Mongolian army's catapult and servant army will consume all the defenders until the defenders surrender.

"I didn't expect that one day I could guard Yumen Pass. Even if there are 100,000 enemy troops outside Yumen Pass, I would never have thought of crossing Yumen Pass half a step."

Huangfu Song, who also belonged to the general of Xiliang, looked down at the Mongolian army at the city.

He had already experienced the most powerful cavalry of the Mongolian Empire, and when he looked at ordinary Mongolian cavalry, he was not afraid.

The Mongolian general who commanded the siege was Ali Hague, a hero from the Qiexue army, and could provide bonuses for siege equipment and siege troops.

Ali Hague obviously cannot bring Huangfu Song a sense of oppression.

The emperor's characteristics are often domineering, and it is difficult for general generals to compete with. Ali Hague is much weaker than Temujin.

"Temujin is in the Hexi Corridor. Why not destroy the Mongolian army outside the city, regain Dunhuang County, and open up a passage with the Western Regions?"

After Zhang He arrived, he immediately proposed an attack.

Xu Fengnian nodded: "I'm just thinking."

The most troublesome Temujin, Subutai, Zhebei, and Mu Huali and others 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 under Yumen Pass.

Xu Fengnian got the troops of several veterans and young military generals, and was confident that he would come out of seclusion to face Ali Hague!

"Wang Tieqin, count the Longxiong Army!"

Xu Fengnian immediately prepared a large army for counterattack.

Suddenly, Liang Xing, the general of Han Sui, who was standing on the watchtower, reported an important news - reinforcements from the Ali Hague Legion had also arrived!

Among this reinforcement army, there were thousands of people with blonde hair and blue eyes, which was different from other Mongolian cavalry.

Not only that, the outfits of these thousands of people made Xu Fengnian feel more familiar.

"Roman Legion? This should be a legion formed by Temujin using the captive Roman soldiers..."

Xu Fengnian and a number of princes of the Han Empire knew that the Roman giant Crassu was captured by Temujin during the Third National War and was considered the most unlucky Roman giant.

Temujin was also aware of the goods and used the Roman eagle flag to rebuild the Roman legion for Crasso.

This Roman legion is a legion composed of real Roman citizens, with high combat power and is not comparable to that of the minion army.

The eagle flag was waving, and indeed a Roman legion appeared. This Roman legion was dominated by Roman heavy infantry and was paired with Mongolian cavalry. Cavalry was no longer the weakness of the Roman legion.

"Stop the plan to attack the Mongolian army from leaving the pass!"

Xu Fengnian had never fought with the Roman Legion and could not grasp the true combat power of the Roman Legion, so he did not dare to act rashly.

After all, the Roman legion is a well-known army.

Outside Yumen Pass, the unlucky Crassus was ordered to lead the Roman legion, with a total of 5,000 people, but they were all high-level troops.

He had to obey the orders of the Mongolian Khan.

A team of Arab craftsmen arrived with the Roman legion.

Arab craftsmen brought precious drawings, and they also mastered the skills to make some special equipment.

"An unprecedented siege equipment will be put into use to capture this ancient pass."

Ali Hague's Roman legion was not Crasso's.

Although the Roman Legion was indeed very good at hand-to-hand combat, the Roman Legion could not be replenished for the Mongol Empire, which meant it was also consumables and cannon fodder.

But this consumable is expensive.

What Ali Hague really attaches importance to is the Arab craftsmen who came to assist in the attack on Yumen Pass.

The top craftsmen of the Arab Empire had skills. As long as they had extremely precious drawings, a new type of trencher would be made - Xiangyang Cannon.

This counterweight catapult uses a winch to lift heavy objects. It converts kinetic energy from the potential energy generated when the weights fall, throwing out the stones on the other end of the lever, which is extremely powerful.

In "Lord", only by owning construction drawings can the corresponding siege equipment be produced.

Xiangyang cannon has become the peak of the cold weapon era!

This time, Temujin took out the trump card of Xiangyang Cannon in order to capture Yumen Pass as soon as possible and defeat the princes of the Han Empire.

The Arab Empire military craftsmen kept creating siege equipment day and night.

Temujin, who had attacked the Hexi Corridor, robbed the towns along the way and was unable to annihilate Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun's army, so he planned to take advantage of the situation to capture the capital of Jiuquan County.

However, Cao Ren and Man Chong's Iron Bird Army arrived and defended Jiuquan County. Temujin had to divide his troops to capture several towns.

"Mu Huali of Hetao seeks help. He is being attacked by the cavalry of the Han Empire. Please give orders from the Khan!"

When Temujin was preparing to open up the battlefield behind the Hexi Corridor, the commander Mu Huali and Boer, located in the south of the desert, were in an unprecedented crisis. Yue Fei and Li Mu, the commander of the Han Empire, launched a large-scale attack on the Hetao area, intending to encircle and annihilate the two legions.

After Temujin learned that the Han Empire had sent two commanders worthy of vigilance, he fell into a brief silence.

Whether Yue Fei or Li Mu, they are all one of the top cavalry commanders, and Mu Huali is unable to support him alone.

As for Boerhu, one of the four cowards and Xues, he is even worse than Mu Huali, Yue Fei, Li Mu and others.

"It seems that it is necessary to go to Monan. Or should the place for the decisive battle be chosen in Mobei?"

Temujin's army quickly left Jiuquan County with the gold and silver they had obtained, and disappeared outside the pass.

The Hexi Corridor has temporarily returned to peace.

The battle at Yumen Pass continued, and the Mongolian army that siege the city built a number of siege towers, ladder trucks, and trenchers.

This time, the catapult that bombarded Yumen Pass was even more terrifying. A huge rock weighing 200 to 300 kilograms fell from the sky, smashing a general who was guarding the city into meat sauce!

The city gate tower was hit by a huge rock, and a rumbling sound collapsed, which was shocking!

The new catapult used by the Mongolian Legion is more powerful and has a longer range. In addition, the bonus of some Mongolian military generals to siege equipment has led to a dense and extremely destructive meteorite bombarding the city walls!

boom!

A crack appeared in the city wall of Yumen Pass, and the bricks wrapped in rammed earth broke and fell off. Even the defenders on the city wall felt their feet shaking!

Ordinary trenchers are not that scary.

The Xiliang Legion, who was guarding Yumen Pass, quickly realized that the Mongolian army had replaced a new catapult!

This kind of trencher was not manufactured by the Han Empire without corresponding drawings.

Xu Fengnian seemed to think of a corresponding large siege equipment, and his face turned slightly pale.

In the era of cold weapons, the Mongolian Empire's army besieged the strong Xiangyang City and could not capture it for a long time. Later, the Mongolian army received the assistance of Western Regions craftsmen to build large counterweight catapults, namely Xiangyang cannons, to bombard Fancheng, successfully conquered Fancheng, and forced the Xiangyang City defenders to surrender.

Xiangyang cannon has been the pinnacle of the cold weapon era, and it still falls within the scope of stone cannons.

If you want to surpass Xiangyang cannons, you must create a real cannon - the original bronze cannon.
