In Jiuquan County, tens of thousands of troops used the majestic Yumen Pass as the battlefield, and the shouts of killing shocked the sky and the earth!

Temujin stood on the high ground in the Gobi Desert outside the pass and supervised the battle with dozens of Mongolian generals.

Tens of thousands of Dunhuang servants took the lead in launching a fierce attack on the city walls. Siege towers, ladders, collision cars, ladders, siege vehicles and other siege equipment were all used to attack Yumen Pass.

As long as you capture this strong pass, the main force of Temujin's Mongolian army can withdraw and attack the Western Regions, Guanlong and southern Mo.

"The person who guards Yumen Pass to the death is Xu Fengnian, the governor of Liangzhou. He has dozens of military generals and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, which is also considered a generation of heroes. However, under the attack of the Khan, Yumen Pass will definitely be lost."

Bolshu, one of the four Chrysse, flatters Temujin.

"Yumen Pass is not that easy to attack. Guanzhong has sent 100,000 troops to reinforce Yumen Pass."

Temujin obtained information from Guanzhong, and the news that Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, the last local generals of the Han Empire, had sent troops to the Hexi Corridor.

The Mongolian general Zhelemei (one of the four mastiffs) came to the city to supervise the battle, using a team of Mongolian cavalry as the supervision team to urge the servants to attack the city fiercely.

Temujin's minion army came from national wars and the main world, not only Dunhuang's minion army, but also from other civilizations, and even from Monan. They formed a 50,000 siege force to launch attacks on Yumen Pass again and again!

The siege tower was like a giant towering tower than the city wall of Yumen Pass. Mongolian archers stood above the siege tower, facing high, and the stumbled arrows covered the wall from time to time, hitting the defenders' shields and armor.

boom!

The hideous siege hammer hit the heavy door, making a dull loud noise, causing the defenders to tremble!

"Be sure to defend the city wall!"

Xu Fengnian, Ma Teng and Han Sui came to the city wall in person and sent all their families to Xiacheng. After they could withdraw from their homes and defend with all their strength!

The Xiliang archers released their crossbows, and tens of thousands of arrows shot volleys, piercing through the minions below!

When defending the city, there is no need to care about what civilized army comes from under the city. There is no righteous battle in the spring and autumn, only victory or defeat!

The princes in the pass arranged for Xu Fengnian to guard Yumen Pass, so they had to guard it.

Even if they died in battle, the princes in the pass would treat their families well.

Ma Chao pulled the bow, and his powerful force made Zhemu bow tremble, and a stream of light shot out, hitting the head of a Mongolian centurion.

The centurion, who was urging the servants to attack the city wall, was killed and fell to the ground, and the morale of the servants around him dropped greatly.

Even in the minion army, there must be a team of generals to supervise, otherwise their morale will be seriously affected.

"well done!"

Wang Yanzhang and a team of archers arrived and shot arrows at the enemy below with all their might. The dense rain of arrows took away the lives of hundreds of servants.

A team of Mongolian archers shot archers at the Yumen Pass, trying to suppress the defending archers and gain opportunities for the servants.

This Mongolian archers are commanded by the Mongolian bow generals, and have damage bonuses, which bring considerable losses to the defenders.

Wang Yanzhang shot an arrow at him, and the stream of light shot through a guard's shield, shooting the guard to kill him, almost hitting the Mongolian general. Seeing that Wang Yanzhang was so fierce, the latter retreated to the range and commanded the archers.

boom!

There was another muffled groan when the door was closed. Han Sui, who was defending the city wall at this time, looked pale.

The hundreds of servants were pushing the siege hammers to break through the city gates head-on, putting pressure on the defenders.

"Yumen Pass has been transformed into a urn city structure. Even if they break through the city gate, they will not enter the city easily. You lead the generals and a team of crossbowmen. Once the Mongolian army enters the urn city, they will shoot them with arrows."

Xu Fengnian sent Han Sui to guard the urn city.

Although nomadic civilizations have higher mobilization, war mobilization rate, and the cost of war are also lower than that of farming civilization, farming civilizations often have more advanced urban defense technology.

Han Sui had many second- and third-rate generals under his command. He was not the opponent of Mongolian cavalry in field battles, and he used crossbows with fixed damage to defend the city. It was useful.

boom!

With loud bangs, the heavy door rupted under the violent impact of the siege hammers, and the broken wood splashed, and a team of servants from Khwarezm rushed into the city first.

"Han Sui, Jincheng County, Liangzhou, has been waiting for a long time!"

Han Sui, his generals Liang Xing, Cheng Yin and others set up more than a thousand powerful crossbows, pulled the crossbow machine, and the crossbow arrow shot out, and the crossbowman's arm was slightly shocked!

Hundreds of Khwarezm servants were shot and killed by powerful crossbows, and their bodies were scattered on the ground with crossbow arrows.

Yumen Pass has a wall city structure. Even if the first city gate is broken, the Mongolian army will still break through the second city gate.

When attacking the second city gate, the first city wall was hit by the first city wall. Secondly, the second city wall was semicircular, and the siege troops were facing three-sided arrow rain shooting.

Yumen Pass was reinforced by local guards, and also had defensive facilities such as stone arrow towers, watchtowers, horse faces, etc. For a while, it would be difficult for the Mongol Empire's servants to capture this pass.

After Han Sui and his generals shot hundreds of people out of the city, the servants who attacked the city were shot and killed by hundreds of people, they withdrew from the city and did not dare to enter the city easily.

The main breakthrough of the Mongolian army is still in the city wall. As long as the city wall is captured, the wall city will be broken.

The siege tower was pushed by the minions and gradually approached the city wall. The tall siege tower cast shadows, and the defenders were even more afraid of such giant beasts.

The advantage of the defenders is that they are condescending, and the height of this siege tower is still above the city wall. The Mongolian archer deployed at the top of the siege tower can shoot and kill the defenders unscrupulously.

The siege tower also has a suspension bridge. As long as you approach the city wall and put down the suspension bridge, a continuous stream of servants will surge up to the city wall.

Xu Fengnian led the fire arrow team to release rockets to the siege tower. Thousands of rockets shot tall siege towers. Most of the rockets were blocked by the cowhide covered on the surface of the siege tower, making it difficult to ignite the siege tower.

A few rockets shot into wooden frames and were extinguished by specially arranged soldiers.

The city walls are strong, and the siege also summarized a set of methods to protect the siege equipment.

The siege tower is still approaching. This time, Xu Fengnian directly used a bed crossbow and a catapult to shoot at the siege tower!

The burly sergeant hit the crossbow machine with an iron hammer, and the thick crossbow arrow shot into the siege tower!

The stone weighing dozens of kilograms was thrown into the air and then fell, hitting the archer on the siege tower!

The siege tower was bombarded by bed crossbows and catapults, and finally destroyed, and some soldiers deployed in the siege tower were killed.

Before the defenders could cheer, the second one soon cast a shadow on the third siege tower!

The thick suspension bridge fell, and a bridge formed between the siege tower and the city wall. The servants hiding in the siege tower rushed to the city wall!

Xu Fengnian pulled out the ring-headed sword, held a shield in his left hand, and had to kill into the siege tower and burn it!

Wang Yanzhang followed Xu Fengnian, holding an iron spear in his hand, killing more than ten people in a row, blocking the enemy's army, making it impossible for him to cross the bridge.

The sharpshooter on the siege tower concentrated on shooting at Wang Yanzhang, and dozens of arrows covered Wang Yanzhang!

Ma Chao came out with his gun to block the rain of arrows!

On the other hand, Xu Fengnian's general Yang Shihou led a team of elite infantry to defend the city wall and drove out the enemy troops who had climbed the city, and remained unmoved!

Yang Shihou's army held a silver spear and ordered it to be prohibited. Whenever someone climbed the city, he would go forward to fight and force it back with a dense spear formation.

"These people are really ignorant of life and death!"

Li Hu killed a servant soldier, and the ring-headed sword rolled the blade because it hit the iron armor.

The Mongolian army drove the servants to attack the city and regarded these servants as consumables, so they did not care about the life and death of the servants, so they continued to climb the city and consumed the defenders.

The stones rolled down, the tinder splashed, and from time to time, the servants fell while climbing the city wall and died of misfortune.

The iron hook of the ladder truck hooked the city wall, and the servants climbed the city under the urging of the Mongolian generals, fighting with the silver spear, like a moth to the fire.

"The morale of the defenders is high, and it will be difficult to capture Yumen Pass for a while."

Minister Yelu Chucai arrived.

After Temujin captured Dunhuang County, the capital of Dunhuang County became the center connecting the north, south of the Moshan Mountains and other places.

"Let Ali Hague be the head coach of the siege, he has bonuses to the siege troops and siege equipment."

Temujin gave up commanding the troops to attack Yumen Pass himself, and instead handed over the command to a general.

"Khan, where are you going?"

Although Yelu Chucai was Prime Minister Temujin, he only assisted Temujin in managing internal affairs and persuaded Temujin to attach importance to Confucianism and appease people's hearts. In terms of tactics, he could not provide advice for Temujin.

"Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun came to help. I used my surprise troops to bypass Yumen Pass, passed through the desert and the Gobi, entered the pass from other sections of the Great Wall, and annihilated the reinforcements. There were no reinforcements outside Yumen Pass, and they would be defeated without attack."

The Mongolian army that was sieging the city replaced with a main general who strengthened the siege, and the pressure on the Yumen Pass defenders suddenly increased!

If it is Chu Tian, ​​you will know that some military generals are suitable for siege, such as Le Yi, and the bonus of the entire army's halo, treasure, and non-conflict deputy general characteristics can provide a large amount of bonus for the siege troops.

For example, the cooperation of Chu Tian’s subordinates, Le Yi, Le Jin and Ju Yi.

Ali Hague is a Mongolian general who is good at sieging cities and sieges.

When he sieges the city instead of Temujin, the power of the siege equipment is enhanced!

Xu Fengnian ordered Wang Yanzhang to break into a siege tower, burning the entire siege tower with fire. The choking black smoke rolled, and the entire siege tower was destroyed, and dozens of servants who had no time to escape were burned to death.

Wang Yanzhang emerged from the thick smoke and returned to the city wall.

Xu Fengnian cut over a servant soldier who had climbed the city and found that the damage of the siege troops' arrow rain and siege equipment increased, and the number of defenders who died under the arrow rain of the siege troops increased.

"Did they change the siege generals..."

Xu Fengnian had rich combat experience and keenly noticed the changes in the Mongolian army.

"They used the catapult!"

The defenders looked at the rocks falling from the air in horror.

The Mongolian army sieges used trenchers, and military generals could increase the power of the trenchers. Stones weighing dozens of kilograms could destroy a corner of the arrow tower with the help of gravity!
