Rumble!

A boulder smashed on the walls of Luntai City, and the walls trembled, and the boulder shattered into several pieces and flew in all directions, demoralizing the surrounding defenders.

The Mongol army launched a decisive battle in the desert and Luntai City at the same time, and the number of Xiangyang cannons used by Ogedai and Yelu Dashi to attack Luntai City was as high as seventy!

Seventy large counterweight trebuchets bombarded the brick-clad city walls of Luntai City day and night, and all the gate towers and arrow towers of Luntai City were destroyed by trebuchets, and thousands of soldiers were killed and wounded!

The eastern city wall has already appeared spider web-like cracks, and the bricks of the city wall are shattered, revealing the rammed earth layer inside, and the rammed earth layer cannot withstand the continuous bombardment, and the earth is splashing and is about to collapse.

Xu Fengnian, who supported Luntai City, had experienced the collapse of the city wall of Yumen Pass, so he noticed that the eastern wall of Luntai City had a tendency to collapse, so he hurriedly found Huo An: "The wall of Luntai City cannot withstand this level of bombardment at all, and it may collapse at any time. Once there is a gap, the Mongol army will drive straight in, and Luntai City will inevitably fall! ”

Huo An was reminded by Xu Fengnian and summoned Chen Tang: "You lead a team of infantry, use drawings, and pile up earthen ramparts and wooden fences behind the eastern city wall in case of emergency. As soon as the eastern wall collapses, the gap is immediately seized, and the earthen ramparts and wooden fences are defended so that the enemy cannot be driven straight in. ”

Chen Tang solemnly said: "The last general will take the order." ”

The defenders, faced with the all-out assault of Ogedai and Yelu Dashi, were under pressure and frantically built earthen ramparts and wooden fences, while fighting with the enemy at the city walls.

Wang Yanzhang killed a hundred people, and the blood stained his armor, almost all of which was the blood of the enemy.

Wokotai and Yelu Dashi seemed to be crazy, urging a large army to attack Luntai City.

No previous offensive has been so ferocious!

Obviously, even Ogedei and Yelu Dashi realized that this was the time for a decisive battle with the Han army, and if they relaxed a little, the fate of the Mongol Empire and the various khanates might end here!

Rumble!!!

A three-hundred-pound stone hit the rammed earth layer, the clod collapsed, a city wall weighing dozens of tons landslided, gravel and earth rolled down, and dozens of defenders and besieging enemy troops were drowned in rubble and mud!

The eastern city wall, where the Xiangyang artillery was bombarded intensively, could not withstand the bombardment of the Xiangyang artillery day and night, and had begun to collapse!

This was only a precursor to the collapse of the eastern wall!

Probably sensing that the durability of the eastern wall had reached its limit, Ogedai ordered the Mongol army attacking the eastern wall to retreat, and then used Xiangyang artillery to bombard the eastern wall!

"Remove the walls!"

Xu Fengnian urged the defenders on this section of the city wall that he was responsible for defending to withdraw from the city wall.

Soon, a section of the wall will fall, and any defenders left on the wall may be killed!

Dozens of boulders were thrown into the air by large trebuchets and then fell, giving the final blow to the eastern wall!

Thundered!!

The eastern wall was once again subjected to heavy bombardment, and the walls that had reached their limit collapsed, and the dust was lifted into the air!

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

The defenders covered their mouths and noses, and when the sand receded, a thirty-meter-wide gap was revealed in the eastern wall!

For the defenders, such a gap is enough to be fatal!

"Wang Tiegun, hold the gap!"

"Yes!"

Wang Yanzhang, as the most ferocious under Xu Fengnian, is also the fierce general who has followed Xu Fengnian for the longest time, and has made great contributions to Xu Fengnian.

"Those who attack the wheel platform will be rewarded with ten cattle and sheep!"

Wokotai found that the solid Luntai City was exposed with a gap of thirty meters, and urged the cavalry to step forward and seize it!

A captain led the cavalry to attack the gap, wanting to make a feat in front of Wokotai!

Ögedei is the candidate for the second Great Khan of the Mongol Empire, and if he can get Ogedei's relatives, maybe his status can be higher!

"Continue to bombard the other walls."

Yelu Dashi didn't seem to be satisfied with opening a gap of thirty meters, and the Xiangyang cannon continued to bombard other broken sections of the city wall, intending to raze the eastern wall of Luntai City to the ground!

"Block them!"

Wang Yanzhang's iron spear pointed forward, hundreds of strong crossbows shot out from the gap, and the sharp crossbow arrows shot the light cavalry that rushed to the front, and more than hundreds of light cavalry were killed.

The ruins of the city walls blocked the horses of the Mongol cavalry, and the commander had no choice but to dismount and step forward with his companions in an attempt to open the gap.

"Die!"

Wang Yanzhang blocked the gap, killing a centurion with one shot, the heavy hundred-pound iron spear, no armor can block its penetration, and even the impact can kill people!

There were heavy infantry and crossbowmen led by Wang Yanzhang to plug the gap, and tens of thousands of Mongolian troops could not open the gap!

Wang Yanzhang was like a god of war, the iron spear hit an enemy soldier, the enemy soldier flew out upside down, hitting another enemy soldier coming from behind, and the two heads were bleeding!

"The Lord has ordered me to come to your aid!"

Yang Shihou led the remnants of the Silver Spear Festival to help in the battle, and the Silver Spear Festival was a high-level spearman, capable of attacking and defending, and the Mongolian cavalry was in a tug of war at the gap.

After the Mongol cavalry did not have the advantage of war horses, it was difficult to advance even if they used Xiangyang artillery to blast out a gap.

However, even so, a fallen wall is an infinite number of times better than a standing wall. The towering walls are prohibitive.

A young silver-armored white-robed general held a spear in his hand and killed the Mongol cavalry surrounding Wang Yanzhang, blood splattered on his white robe.

Seeing that the situation was critical, the injured Ma Chao stepped forward to relieve Wang Yanzhang.

"Apprentice, this place is dangerous, your injuries have not healed, you can't stay for long."

Wang Yanzhang killed a few more enemy soldiers and urged Ma Chao to leave.

Ma Chao's strength is not at its peak, and he was wounded by a stray arrow not long ago, and the Mongolian cavalry attack at the gap is getting more and more urgent, even Wang Yanzhang is in danger of being killed, not to mention the injured Ma Chao.

"I'm a Xiliang man, how can I give up the war lightly!"

Ma Chao's spear pierced through an enemy soldier, and the killing on the battlefield not only did not make him afraid, but a little enthusiastic!

Maybe he was born for the battlefield.

"Be careful!"

Wang Yanzhang did not stop Ma Chao, but killed the enemy with Ma Chao.

On the battlefield, from the emperor to the soldiers, they can all be killed and captured, and those who can survive must have luck in addition to force!

"With Wang Tiegun and Ma Chao and others guarding the gap, the Mongolian cavalry cannot enter the city for the time being, and the construction of earthen ramparts and wooden fences must be accelerated."

Chen Tang urged the craftsmen.

If Luntai City had a special talent similar to Li Jie, a craftsman in the Northern Song Dynasty, the speed of building fortifications could still increase.

It's a pity that there is no special talent similar to Li Jie in Luntai City, so Chen Tang can only anxiously urge.

An earthen rampart and wooden fence were rapidly formed behind a gap in the eastern wall.

Wokotai commanded the cavalry to fight for the gap, and found that his side had lost thousands of people, but he was never able to attack Luntai City, and he couldn't help frowning.

If there were no reinforcements from Xu Fengnian to enter Luntai City, perhaps this time the eastern city wall would have collapsed, and the Mongol army could take advantage of the decline in the morale of the defenders, and then capture Luntai City of the Han Empire in one fell swoop.

However, Xu Fengnian's fierce general blocked the cavalry of Wokotai.

"Jerodashi, lead the cavalry and capture the gap."

Ogedai pinned his hopes on Yelu Dashi.

The ability of an ordinary captain is far worse than that of Yelu Dashi.

Yelu Dashi shook his head: "Even if it is the last general, if there is a lack of fierce generals and high-level heavy infantry, it will not be able to take the gap." ”

Yelu Dashi muttered in his heart, with Wang Yanzhang's force, coupled with Yang Shihou's high-level infantry silver spear effect, the cavalry went to attack the gap, and he was not the opponent of Wang Yanzhang and Yang Shihou.

"So, how are we going to take this city?"

After Wokotai collapsed a section of the city wall with Xiangyang cannons, he couldn't take advantage of the situation to take Luntai City, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

"It's not as ...... as this"

When Yelu Dashi was in trouble with Wokotai, he took the initiative to give advice to Wokotai.

Wokotai's eyes were cautious, and after listening to Yelu Dashi's suggestion, he immediately issued an order according to his suggestion.

The Mongol army, which had originally attacked the gap, retreated, and was replaced by a servant army dominated by the soldiers of the Wusun Kingdom.

The servant army of Wusun was much inferior to the Mongol cavalry, and their offensive was much weaker than that of the Mongol cavalry.

Wang Yanzhang and Ma Chao can easily kill the servant army of Wusun Kingdom.

Whether it is Wang Yanzhang, Ma Chao, or Yang Shihou, the pressure suddenly decreases.

Wusun is a big country in the Western Regions, and it can be regarded as good at cavalry, but the cavalry of Wusun State dismounted to fight for the gap, and its combat power plummeted.

Xu Fengnian held a horned bow, shot a soldier of the Wusun Kingdom, and shouted to Huo An, who was commanding not far away: "How did these servant troops, which were originally supposed to be controlled by your Western Regions Protectorate, become the servants of Wokotai?" ”

Huo An responded dissatisfiedly: "His uncle, the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions are all grass on the wall, who is strong with whom." Now the king of Wusun who was captured by Ogedei, or I killed the old king of Wusun and chose his nobles to become the new king of Wusun, but I didn't expect him to dare to betray me! ”

"The way your Western Regions Protectorate controls the Thirty-Six Kingdoms needs to change."

"You think I don't want to? If you don't set up a nobleman as a king, how can you rule the thirty-six kingdoms of the Western Regions in a few years? When I regain control of the Thirty-Six Kingdoms this time, I will have an excuse to purge the nobles of the Thirty-Six Kingdoms! ”

Huo An was also repeatedly angered by the 36 countries of the Western Regions, and Temujin attacked the Western Regions, and many nobles of the Western Regions betrayed, which just provided him with an excuse to reorganize the order of the Western Regions.

However, everything can only be carried out after the Western Regions Protectorate regains control over the Western Regions.

"It's strange, why is Wokotai replaced with the servant army of Wusun Kingdom, which has low combat effectiveness, is it possible that Wokotai doesn't plan to fight for the gap?"

Xu Fengnian found that after Ogedai replaced the Mongol cavalry with the soldiers of the Wusun Kingdom, the pressure decreased.

The soldiers of Wusun Kingdom, even if Huo An doesn't think much of it, Huo An even has the characteristic of suppressing the soldiers of Wusun Country and weakening the combat power of the soldiers of Wusun Kingdom.

Suddenly, Xu Fengnian looked at the Xiangyang cannon standing outside the city, as if he thought of something terrible, and his face changed: "I understand......"
