Seven thousand white robes climbed the city, white clothes and silver armor were as snowy as they were. They repelled the enemy soldiers who climbed the city, regained the city walls, and urn city!

Because the arrival of General Chu Zimou's reinforcements, the morale of the Yumen Pass guards rose sharply, and the Mongolian army and the servants retreated to the rear like the waves of the ebbing tide.

The originally shaky Yumen Pass holds on again!

Within a day, the offensive and defense of the Yumen Pass battle changed repeatedly. It was not until Chu Tian led the reinforcements that the Mongolian army retreated.

Xu Fengnian was almost sitting on the bricks, panting.

The Mongolian Empire's army temporarily retreated, so that Xu Fengnian could finally take a good breath. Otherwise, with Temujin's strength, Yumen Pass might be really captured by Mongolian cavalry.

He looked around and all the Han army troops guarding Yumen Pass were almost crippled in the fierce battle. Temujin and Ali Hague's army and servants were killed 100,000 times, and near Yumen Pass, there were mountains of corpses and blood.

Zhang Xiu and hundreds of Xiliang soldiers took back the body of his father Zhang Ji, silently.

In this battle, the generals sent by the old Qin of the Raemony to assist Yumen Pass. Zhang Ji, the general of Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Legion, died in battle, and Zhang Xiu gritted his teeth.

"The Roman Legion killed my subordinate father, and he must pay the corresponding price for it!"

Zhang Xiu still had hatred for the Roman legion.

The Roman legions were all high-level arms. Zhang Ji attacked the Roman legions and was killed by the Roman legions.

Xu Fengnian just shook his head when he saw Zhang Xiu.

During the battle of Yumen Pass, countless generals were killed and injured, and Zhang Ji was just one of them.

The war will only become more and more tragic, and it will not be rare even if the entire army is wiped out.

"Why did the shouts of killing stop? Could it be that the Mongolian army has already invaded the pass?"

The injured Zhang He held his shoulder burned by the fire and tried to get up to fight, but was stopped by his old acquaintance Ju Yi: "Don't be in a hurry, the lord reinforcements are here, so we don't have to continue fighting."

"It turns out that it was the lord who arrived. It seems that the Mongolian army will probably retreat."

When Zhang He heard that Chu Tian was coming, he lay down with peace of mind.

At present, the only person who is qualified to play cavalry with Temujin is Chu Tian.

As expected, the Mongolian army chose to withdraw its troops, just like Zhang He inferred.

Temujin was still hesitating whether to fight Chu Tian.

Temujin also knew that Chu Tian was the largest prince of the Han Empire. If the decisive battle with Chu Tian failed, the end of the Mongol Empire would soon come.

According to Zhang He's inference, Temujin was still accumulating strength, so he kept avoiding confrontation with Chu Tian head-on.

"Go to welcome Chu Zimou."

After gasping for breath, Xu Fengnian finally got up and went to see Chu Tian with Ma Teng, Han Sui, Feng Yi, Xie Ai and others.

If it weren't for Chu Tian's reinforcements, Yumen Pass might have turned into ruins now.

Under the offensive of Mongolian cavalry, not many people could defend Yumen Pass, but this group of people did it!

When Xu Fengnian got up, she almost fell down because of her strength. Wang Yanzhang held Xu Fengnian with one hand, and Xu Fengnian did not fall down.

Chu Tian sent a white-robed army to take the lead and rescue Yumen Pass.

After the white-robed army dismounted, it could become a light infantry and kill the enemy on the city walls, which was no less than the higher-level light infantry.

Compared with heavy infantry, light infantry has low protection, but its speed is faster and its physical energy consumption is slower, making it suitable for continuous combat.

Chu Tian retreated after the Mongolian army, entered Yumen Pass and found that half of the houses in Yumen Pass had been burned down, in a mess, with black smoke rising from the city walls and nearby houses, obviously after an extremely tragic battle.

Tens of thousands of people died in the battle.

Collapsed city walls, houses, broken battle flags, broken spears, broken armor...

Chu Tian has experienced many tragic wars, but the Yumen Pass battle is rare in his life.

The Mongolian army's scrimmage used fire attacks to almost level the entire Yumen Pass.

In the era of cold weapons, a tough battle of such a scale is not easy.

"Good brother, you are here!"

Xu Fengnian saw Chu Tian arrive as promised. Before the two princes of the Qianlong Qin and Mingguan arrived, Chu Tian took the lead in helping, which was enough to show Chu Tian's attention to Yumen Pass and the Western Regions, as well as his attention to Xu Fengnian and others.

Xu Fengnian couldn't help but give Chu Tian a thick hug and pat Chu Tian on the shoulder. Not many people can understand the mood of surviving the disaster.

If Chu Tian saved his life, he would be a friend of life and death.

Originally, Xu Fengnian and Chu Tian were just trading partners. After experiencing a life-and-death battle, the foundation of cooperation will be even more solid.

Tongque and Sun Jian also made friends during the Yellow Turban Rebellion and became brothers of life and death.

Ma Chao looked at Xue Rengui, Zhao Yun, who was about to grow up, and Ma Chao was almost the same as Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun in terms of force and appearance. At this time, he saw two people who were somewhat similar to his style, and could not help but be attracted by it.

Of course, Ma Chao has not reached its peak at this time, and there is still some gap between him and the two. In Ma Chao's eyes, Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun are the same seniors as Wang Yanzhang.

"Just be alive."

Chu Tian also patted Xu Fengnian on the shoulder to appease the powerful people in Liangzhou.

Xu Fengnian integrated into the Xiliang family. As the main representative of the Xiliang family, he was the object that Chu Tian needed to win over.

At the same time, it was not easy for Xu Fengnian to defend Yumen Pass and hold this pass for the Han Empire and to hold 200,000 to 300,000 Mongolian troops.

According to the information obtained by Chu Tian and his own estimates, the Mongolian army and its servants entrenched in Dunhuang County were about 200,000, and perhaps more.

Ma Teng took off his blood-stained helmet, and his scalp was injured because he avoided the huge rocks shot by the Xiangyang cannon. However, Ma Teng, a descendant of General Fubo, Ma Yuan, did not say a word, and asked Chu Tian carefully: "Xu'er, Tie'er and Lu'er, are they good?"

"They are all in Xiacheng at this moment. Even if we are defeated, we will have no worries about our lives."

Chu Tian didn't expect that Ma Teng was tall and big, and he actually had iron-bone tenderness.

Chu Tian murmured in his heart that Ma Teng's daughter punched his son, but he hadn't even bothered.

If you really have to worry about it, the female debt will be paid for the father...

Ma Teng also had ambitions, but as he grew older, his ambitions gradually faded. When he heard that his children were safe in Xiacheng, he felt relieved.

"General Zhang He burned the fireball that was shot by the Mongolian army by the catapult, and he was unable to come to see his lord."

Ju Yi came to pay homage to Chu Tian instead of Zhang He.

When Chu Tian heard that Zhang He was injured, he couldn't help but waver. Zhang He was one of the five good generals: "What's the special thing about the catapult used by the Mongolian army? It can actually injure Zhang He?"

Among the high-level players, Xu Fengnian, who is a player, is knowledgeable. At the same time, as a player, he knows the names of some large-scale siege equipment: "It is very likely that the Xiangyang cannon used by the Mongolian army to capture Xiangyang City, that is, a large counterweight trencher, can easily throw huge stones of hundreds of kilograms. The city wall of Yumen Pass was destroyed by Xiangyang cannons because of its disrepair."

“Counterweight trencher?”

When Chu Tian heard this familiar noun, he felt that it was difficult for the defenders to be defending the army.

At present, the most advanced trencher in the Eastern Han Empire should be the large trencher in the Song Dynasty (production of drawings).

Chu Tian also obtained large siege equipment such as Baniu Crossbow, but compared with Xiangyang cannon, it was a little worse.

Historically, Xiangyang City and Fancheng blocked the offensive of the Mongol Empire for several years. The Mongolian army was very troubled by the solid urban defense system of the Southern Song Dynasty. Later, they obtained craftsmen from the Western Regions, introduced large counterweight trenchers, collapsed the walls of Fancheng, and Xiangyang surrendered.

Later, the Mongol Yuan destroyed the Song Dynasty, and the Xiangyang artillery achieved results in a series of tough battles, and the fortresses of the Southern Song Dynasty were destroyed or surrendered.

It can be said that the existence of Xiangyang cannons made up for the shortcomings of the Mongolian army's insufficient siege, so even if the Mongolian army slaughtered the city, it rarely slaughtered craftsmen.

Temujin's cavalry, coupled with Xiangyang cannon, the most advanced siege equipment in "Lords", is invincible in both field battles and attacks.

"Not only that, the opponent also has military generals who can provide bonuses for siege equipment, similar to Liu Ye. Xiangyang cannons can also use special attack methods such as fireballs and wolf smoke."

Xu Fengnian believed that it was necessary to know Chu Tian about all the information obtained.

The information of these Mongolian troops was exchanged for his lives by Xu Fengnian and his soldiers.

"You should be talking about those big guys, that's Xiangyang Cannon?"

Chu Tian saw the outline of the Xiangyang cannon. Fifty Xiangyang cannons stood, each large trench was several meters high, and the highest was even more than ten meters. He shot hundreds of kilograms of stones, just like a meteorite falling, and even compared to the early bronze cannons, it was no less than that.

It is estimated that the inspiration for the bronze cannon is also a large siege equipment such as a catapult. The original bronze cannon fired solid bullets, which are equivalent to the stones of the catapult. The weight of the solid bullet is smaller than the stones used by the catapult. Correspondingly, the original bronze cannon is more convenient to use than the catapult, and the initial speed of gunpowder advances faster.

"No wonder Yumen Pass has almost become a ruin... Yumen Pass has only been temporarily reinforced. Usually, it is rarely used here, and the city wall has been weathered."

Chu Tian checked the city walls of Yumen Pass, but the situation was not optimistic.

Wars broke out in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and all the princes were busy with civil wars and would not care about the fortifications such as Yumen Pass and the Han Great Wall. After all, the nomadic tribes were weak during this period.

Gongsun Kang led 3,000 cavalry to defeat the 50,000 Fuyu army. The Southern Xiongnu cavalry were chased and killed by Mongolian cavalry with fewer people than him...

Yumen Pass was also the heroic pass that Xu Fengnian renovated after he retired to this place. Otherwise, the defense of Yumen Pass would be more fragile.

"The opposite side should be Temujin's army. He was driven away by me in Hetao and Monan. In the end, he still wanted to fight us in the Western Regions."

Chu Tian had already felt Temujin hesitation.

When Temujin faced the Han army led by him, he was not sure of winning, so Temujin retreated again and again.

The Mongol Empire suffered losses in Hetao and Monan, with about 100,000 cavalrymen and 200,000 tribal herders, but not serious, Temujin was still accumulating strength.

According to Chu Tian's inference, Temujin chose the place where he fought a decisive battle with the Han Empire was Luntai, Tianshan or Altai in the Western Regions - in short, it was a place far away from the Central Plains.

Temujin's strategy is similar to the strategy of the Xiongnu Yizhixie Shanyu in the Battle of Mobei.

The closer it is to the Central Plains of the Han Empire, Hebei, Guanzhong and other hinterlands, the simpler the supply of the Han Empire's army.

Even if the Han Empire was defeated, it would soon be possible to recruit another army from these densely populated places to fight the Mongol Empire.
