On a hillside in the northwest of the ancient city of Dunhuang, Bai An and Timur stood side by side on horseback, looking at the ancient city of Dunhuang that was attacked by the Timurid Empire and the soldiers of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and the look on their faces looked a little serious.

After a few months of not seeing each other, Bai An and Timur have not only lost weight, but their skin has also become dark, but their spirits are very good, and their eyes are bright.

"Hopefully we'll be in time." Bai An took the lead in breaking the calm of the scene, and after looking at the ancient city of Dunhuang, he looked at Timur without worry, he already knew about Li Yuntian's affairs in the ancient city of Dunhuang, and also knew that Wendu had been attacking for more than a month, and put on a posture that was bound to win.

"Don't worry, Jiren has his own natural appearance, and the prince's life is great, and there will definitely be no accidents." Timur shook his head suddenly, and opened his mouth to comfort Bai An.

Judging from the current situation, Wendu has not yet captured the ancient city of Dunhuang, which means that Li Yuntian's personal safety has been guaranteed.

"Pass the order, attack with all your might, and answer the prince out of the city." Although he said this, Bai An still couldn't let go of it in his heart, so he shouted to the guards on the side in a deep voice.

"General, the reinforcements of the Ming army have arrived and have engaged our army." Wen Du didn't know where these Ming reinforcements came from, and when he was secretly guessing, a military attache came to him and said loudly.

"Destroy them." Wen Du heard that a murderous smile fell from the corner of his mouth, and he gave an order with an expressionless face, and now he can only destroy this group of Ming troops of unknown origin.

"Obedience." The military attache then got up and strode forward to convey Wendu's order.

Winton looked expressionlessly at the fierce battle on the city wall in the distance, it was the closest he had ever gotten to catch Li Yuntian, and no one wanted to stop him from doing so.

"Lord Wang, just now I received a report from the soldiers stationed in the city, and a support army of our army came from the southwest, I don't know where it came from?" In the ancient city of Dunhuang, Lin Xin rushed into Li Yuntian, and said to Li Yuntian, who was checking the map there, "Lord Wang, could it be the White Marquis that they are here?" ”

"It should be them, send them a signal, let them kill a road from the south of the city, and this king will send someone to pick them up into the city." Li Yuntian breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, Bai An and Dehuan Timur came at a really good time, and then said to Lin Xin in a deep voice.

In Li Yuntian's opinion, the enemy army outside the city had an advantage in numbers, so he felt that it was better to let Bai An and others enter the city, and they could rely on the city defense to fight against them.

"My subordinates will do it." Lin Xin smiled when she heard this, bowed to Li Yuntian and left easily.

After she left, Li Yuntian couldn't help but let out a long breath, fortunately, Bai An and Timur came back in time, otherwise things would have become troublesome.

When Lin Xin released the signal flare, Bai An and Timur Timur outside the city immediately changed their strategy and ordered the troops to charge in the direction of the south gate, and the closed south gate also slowly opened, and the Ming army gushing out of it rushed to the enemy outside the city.

The enemy troops outside the southern city never imagined that Li Yuntian still had reinforcements, let alone that they would suffer from the enemy on their backs, so they retreated one after another under the brave fight of the two Ming armies, so angry that Wen Du jumped like thunder, even if he sent the guards to supervise the battle, it was useless, and finally he could only watch the two Ming armies meet, and then retreat to the city together.

Despite this, Wendu still has a chance, after all, Li Yuntian is still in the ancient city of Dunhuang.

After the previous battle, the sun had set, and Wendu ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops, preparing to attack the ancient city of Dunhuang again the next day, and be sure to take it.

"See the prince." After Bai An and Timur entered the city, they went straight to Li Yuntian's residence, and when they saw that Li Yuntian was safe and sound, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and bowed down.

"You two have worked hard." Seeing that Bai An and Timur were black and thin, Li Yuntian knew that the two had suffered a lot in the past, so he helped the two of them up with a smile.

Bai An and Tuhuan Timur reported to Li Yuntian what happened after the two left Qinglong City, and because Wendu sent Ah Long to chase after him, the two took Ah Long to wander around in order to preserve their strength, and started a guerrilla attack on the territory of Shazhou Wei and Andingwei.

In the end, Bai An and Timur lured Along to the Qaidam Basin, took advantage of the familiar terrain to go around with Along, and then found an opportunity to set fire to Along's supplies, and then completely annihilated Along's troops, killing Along in the melee.

Although they fought a series of hard battles with Along, compared with when they left Qinglong City, the army under Bai An and Tuhuan Timur did not decrease, because the two of them recruited local young and middle-aged people to join while fighting, and their strength was strengthened.

The reason why Li Yuntian let Bai An and Dehuan Timur come back in July and August was precisely because this time was in the middle of the war with the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan, and the return of the two was just right.

With the troops of Bai An and Tuhuan Timur, Li Yuntian's heart was much more settled, although compared with the enemy army outside the city, the strength was still at a disadvantage, but the situation has been greatly improved, whether it is holding or evacuating, it will be very calm.

And with the arrival of Bai An and his party, Li Yuntian also had to give up his plan to retreat to Yangguan, because Yangguan simply could not accommodate so many troops.

Therefore, in Li Yuntian's view, the best choice at present is to hold on to the ancient city of Dunhuang, so that he can rely on the defense of the ancient city of Dunhuang to kill and injure the enemy troops outside the city.

Wen Du was extremely annoyed by the sudden arrival of Bai An and Tuhuan Timur, because Aaron led his army into the Qaidam Basin, which caused inconvenience in communication, so he had not reported on Aaron for a long time.

Now it seems that Aaron and his entourage are likely to have encountered an accident, otherwise Bai An and Timur would not have appeared here, and then relieved Li Yuntian.

However, in this way, Wen can wipe out the main force of the Ming army in Guanxi in one fell swoop in the ancient city of Dunhuang, so that it will be difficult for the Ming army to become a big climate in Guanxi.

For Wendu, the biggest good news is that after the previous fierce siege, the city defense of the ancient city of Dunhuang has been greatly damaged, which is good news for the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan soldiers who are besieging the city.

At this time, Wendu had 160,000 horses in his hands, and Li Yuntian had 80,000 troops under his command, and the troops were twice as many as Li Yuntian.

For this reason, Wen Du arranged the siege of the next day overnight, and he was about to lose patience in the ancient city of Dunhuang, so this time he had to take the ancient city of Dunhuang no matter what.

Li Yuntian is also discussing the battle situation tomorrow with Bai An and others, the only good news for Li Yuntian is that he has more than 30,000 cavalry under his command, which will be an important force that will affect the direction of the war.

Wendu has always been full of confidence in the cavalry of the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan, so he must have been relatively lax in guarding the cavalry of the Ming army in the city, which gave Li Yuntian an opportunity to find the right time to attack the enemy's main formation where Wendu was located.

The cavalry in Li Yuntian's hands is mainly composed of the cavalry of the Guanxi Army, followed by the cavalry of the Qinglong Battalion in the Guanxi of the Xiaowu Army, and the combat effectiveness is not weaker than the cavalry in the hands of Wendu.

Because the ancient city of Dunhuang concentrated the heavy troops of the Ming army, the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan coalition army, this battle may determine the trend of the war in Guanxi, and I think for Li Yuntian, Wen Du could not afford to lose this war.

After a night of silence, as the rising sun, the sky over the ancient city of Dunhuang gradually filled with a tense and depressing atmosphere.

Whether it is the Ming army in the city or the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan coalition army outside the city, everyone knows that a tragic battle will break out today, and both sides have no way to retreat.

Once the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan coalition could not take the ancient city of Dunhuang in time, then they would be dragged here and unable to advance eastward, and go to meet Hordu Khan and others in Jiuquan City.

And if the Ming army is defeated, then they will be pursued and killed by Wendu's troops, Li Yuntian and other high-ranking generals may be able to retreat to Yangguan, but other soldiers will definitely be killed or captured.

Although today's big battle is very important, Li Yuntian is still as usual, after getting up and leisurely playing Tai Chi in the courtyard, he knows that as the commander of the Ming army, he must not be chaotic, only in this way can the people around him be stable, otherwise people will definitely be panicked.

"Lord Wang, are you changing into armor?" After Li Yuntian finished Tai Chi, Lin Xin asked in a deep voice after handing over the wet towel, the so-called sword has no eyes, once the enemy army outside the city invades, it will inevitably form a melee in the city, and it will be much safer to have armor to protect yourself.

Li Yuntian bowed slightly when he heard this, in addition to security factors, he wanted to use military uniforms to boost the morale of the soldiers of the Ming army defending the city.

After changing into armor, Li Yuntian, accompanied by generals such as Bai An and Timur Tuhuan, climbed the south gate tower of the ancient city of Dunhuang, because the city wall was stained with a large amount of blood, which made the air permeate with a pungent smell of blood.

The enemy troops outside the city had already lined up in the open space outside the south gate, and Wen Du, who was wearing armor, rode on his horse and looked at the city gate tower expressionlessly, although he didn't see it too clearly, but from the banner on the city gate tower, he could guess that Li Yuntian was there.

"Listen, capture the Ming Loyal King alive, the reward is a thousand taels, and the official will be promoted to three levels!" Wen Du glanced up at the sky and thought that the time for the attack had come, so he brushed out the scimitar on his waist and waved it in the direction of the ancient city of Dunhuang, "Shout loudly, kill the loyal warrior king of the Ming Dynasty, the reward will be five hundred taels, and the official will be promoted to one level!" ”

"Kill!" Wendu's voice lagged behind, and the soldiers of the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan Dynasty, who had been standing there quietly, suddenly became noisy, carrying siege equipment and shouting, rushing to the city wall.

"Let them kill and see who can have the last laugh!" Seeing this, Li Yuntian stretched out his hand and pointed at the enemy soldiers who rushed over like a tide, and shouted with a sneer.

Because the arrows in the city had been used up, and there were few arrows left for Bai An and Timur to be deaf, the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan soldiers successfully entered the range of the archers on the city wall, and when they got close to the city wall, countless stones and wood were thrown down on the city wall, so that the people who rushed in front avoided one after another, and the brutal siege officially began.

"Lord Wang, it's dangerous here, it's better for Lord Wang to leave first." Bai An glanced at the enemy soldiers who had set up a ladder and climbed up, and said to Li Yuntian that the city wall would soon become a battlefield for melee, and Li Yuntian's words here would make the Ming soldiers participating in the battle fearful.

Li Yuntian nodded expressionlessly when he heard this, and left the city gate tower surrounded by Bai An and others, Wen Du outside the city noticed this, and the corners of his mouth suddenly showed a sneer, this time he will break through the ancient city of Dunhuang no matter what, and then see where Li Yuntian can escape!
