Chapter 550 Burning
The horses galloped, and two cavalrymen fought in Jiuyuan County. Hu Sanniang held a pair of knives to block the rain of arrows!
A pair of double knives were in her hands, like butterfly light, and random arrows could not easily hurt her.
The Mongolian cavalry and the Bingzhou wolf cavalry were in a melee, and there were war horses, cavalry, damaged battle flags, swords, lights and swords everywhere.
A Mongolian imperial commander was nine feet tall and smashed with a mace. Hu Sanniang blocked it with two knives and was almost killed!
The thousand and ten thousand commanders of the Mongolian Empire have a force of more than 70. The best of them may have a force of more than 80, and their strength is even greater than that of Hu Sanniang!
Two centurions came to help the battle, and together with their thousand households, they attacked Hu Sanniang, intending to capture Hu Sanniang alive.
Hu Sanniang faced the joint attack of three heroes at the same time, it was difficult to support, and the sweat flowed from the chin to the collarbone.
A dark shadow swept past, Zhang Liao killed a centurion with a halberd, and the powerful impact directly slashed the centurion under his horse!
Zhang Liao killed a centurion with one move, and the halberd returned, knocking off another centurion's broadsword, and stabbed the second centurion with another halberd!
The death of two centurions was only a matter of a moment!
Zhang Liao's offensive was ferocious, and in less than five rounds, he beheaded thousands of commanders. For a time, three middle and low-level generals died under Zhang Liao's record.
Hu Sanniang couldn't help but admire Zhang Liao's eyes when she saw that Zhang Liao easily killed three middle and low-level generals of the Mongolian army with good force.
Zhang Liao's force is far above it.
"fragile!"
The vanguard general of the Prestige Legion, Wen Yang, broke into the Mongolian cavalry alone, crowning the three armies, advancing 300 meters forward, beheading hundreds of people.
A dangerous aura locked on Wen Yang, who was on the rampage, and Tan Ma Chi Wu Pioneer attacked Wen Yang.
Tan Ma Chi Wu Pioneer's broadness and lack of flowers used a mace, his momentum was heavy, and he slammed into Wen Yang, and Wen Yang's spear stabbed out...
The iron spear penetrated the armor of a Mongolian general, and the sharp spear blade was stained with blood.
Wang Yanzhang pulled out his iron spear and shot back, smashing to death the two enemy cavalry who were trying to attack, the armor was deformed, and the iron pocket fell to the ground.
A large Xiangyang cannon was burnt down,
With billowing black smoke, the flames spread along the trebuchet, and the large siege machines turned to ashes in the sea of fire...
Under the tall trebuchet, the Xiliang army and the Mongolian army fought fiercely. The Xiliang army who raided the Mongolian trebuchet position held torches and burned the Xiangyang artillery that threatened Yumen Pass.
The threat of the Xiangyang Cannon was too great, and Xu Fengnian's Xiliang Army tried their best to push forward, pouring kerosene, and the fire spread rapidly, covering the place where the Xiangyang Cannon was!
The Mongolian army had long imagined that the Xiliang army would go out of the city to fight, so they strengthened the defense of Xiangyang artillery.
When Xu Fengnian led a group of generals out of the city to destroy the Xiangyang Cannon, he was surrounded by tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry, and there were a steady stream of Mongolian cavalry attacking Xu Fengnian, who was besieged in the Xiangyang Cannon stronghold.
If you want to burn down the powerful Xiangyang Cannon and delay the capture of Yumen Pass, you need to pay a certain price.
After Xu Fengnian and others turned 20 Xiangyang Cannons into a sea of fire, they joined forces to break through!
Wang Yanzhang's iron spear clears the way ahead, and Ma Chao kills more than ten cavalry in a row, closely following Wang Yanzhang and Ma Teng.
Ma Teng also had a certain amount of force, and also used a long spear to kill several people in a row.
Zhang He's weapons were also long spears, rushing from left to right, and it seemed that it was difficult to find a strong enemy with superior force among this Mongolian cavalry.
Ju Yi held a strong crossbow and shot one or two Mongolian cavalry.
When fighting the Mongolian cavalry, Ju Yi pulled out the ring-headed sword around his waist and violently collided with the opponent's saber.
"Don't be greedy for war, quickly evacuate!"
Xu Fengnian turned around and shot an enemy cavalry, warning the group of fierce generals not to entangle with the enemy.
The purpose of burning the Xiangyang Cannon has been achieved. Although the production drawings and craftsmen of the Xiangyang Cannon have not been obtained, Xu Fengnian can delay it for a while.
As long as you fight for a period of time, the northern princes of the Han Empire will turn from defense to offense.
At least Chutian's Bingzhou Army has been actively launching an offensive in the Hetao area.
Xu Fengnian led 3,000 people out of the city to burn the Xiangyang artillery. At this time, facing the attack of countless Mongolian cavalry and servants, he felt a sense of powerlessness.
The number of Mongolian cavalry is too large. In the face of absolute military superiority, as long as the opponent's leader belongs to the first- and second-class level, they can often use the superior force to consume Xu Fengnian's 3,000 people!
"Kill them and the rest of the Yumenguan defenders!"
The siege master destroyed the Xiangyang Cannon that Ali Hague finally built, and it was a mess, and he couldn't help but be angry.
Each Xiangyang gun requires a lot of time and cost to build, and only specialized craftsmen can manufacture it.
Twenty Xiangyang cannons were set on fire, which meant that the progress of the Mongolian army's attack on Yumen Pass was delayed again.
Ali Hague did not intend to slaughter Yumenguan, but Xu Fengnian swears to resist, causing Ali Hague's dissatisfaction to increase.
This time, after breaking through Yumen Pass, no one at Yumen Pass can survive!
Xu Fengnian faced the ensuing counterattack of the Mongolian cavalry and fell into a heavy siege.
Wang Yanzhang and Li Hu were two generals, guarding Xu Fengnian's side, protecting Xu Fengnian, and rushing from left to right.
Li Hu's mansion soldiers are also elite troops, a horse lance, assassinated more than a dozen Mongolian cavalry all the way.
Wang Yanzhang was invincible as before, breaking through the Mongolian cavalry one after another.
Suddenly, black clouds covered the sky, and the javelin fell with a shadow!
A group of tall Roman soldiers joined the battlefield. They threw javelins, and the javelins made a sharp sound of breaking through the air. At least twenty javelins covered Wang Yanzhang and one horse!
Wang Yanzhang turned the 100-pound iron spear into a dragon, blocking all the javelins!
The impact and destructive power of the javelin is higher than that of the bow and arrow. Wang Yanzhang blocked all the javelins, and the arm holding the iron spear trembled.
Wang Yanzhang took twenty javelins, which was considered agile. Otherwise, ordinary generals would try to avoid them when they saw the dense javelins.
Crassus, wearing oriental armor, personally led this Roman army and attacked Xu Fengnian.
The tortoise shell of the Roman legion came under pressure, Li Hu originally planned to use the horse lance to break the tortoise shell, but because the Roman legion belonged to the barbarian camp, it received an extra 25% bonus from the system, which was equivalent to the Roman legion's combat power to a higher level.
Intensive and sharp javelin throwing, many Xiliang cavalry were killed by javelin, and even the horse armor was penetrated by javelin, its armor-piercing ability is amazing!
"Don't fight it!"
Xu Fengnian knew that the most powerful Roman army was the Roman heavy infantry, and their hand-to-hand combat ability was amazing, so he immediately recalled Li Hu.
More than a thousand soldiers of the Roman legion blocked Xu Fengnian's retreat, and the Mongolian cavalry on both sides and behind were about to catch up!
Another burst of javelin throwing, people and horses, were shot through by the javelin!
At a critical juncture, the gate of Yumenguan was opened, and a team of infantry and cavalry in white clothes and white hats rushed out, attacked the Roman legion, and forcibly tore its formation!
Xie Ai sat on the city wall, overlooking the battle below, and mobilized his troops in time to avoid Xu Fengnian's death.
Feng Yi and Xie Ai had similar views, and sent soldiers to their lives, risking their lives to attack the Roman legion and rescue Xu Fengnian.
Crassus' Roman legion is only a Roman legion after all, and the Roman legion of 5,000 people will have less effect in the middle and late battles of increasing scale.
Ali Hague was even more annoyed when he saw Xu Fengnian's 3,000 people successfully withdraw from Yumen Pass.
Xu Fengnian's blitz paid off. Twenty Xiangyang artillery pieces were swallowed up by the fire and destroyed.
The time when the Mongolian army captured Yumen Pass was delayed again.
"The Great Khan has an order, and the Great Khan has used the teleportation array to go to Monan. Please continue to put pressure on Yumen Pass, but it is only a feint attack. You cannot attack Yumen Pass by force, so as to avoid excessive losses. If necessary, retreat to Dunhuang and cut off the Western Regions and the pass. Long contact is enough."
The embarrassed Ali Hague planned to call all the trebuchets and elites to forcibly capture the Yumen Pass. At this moment, he was ordered by Temujin, so he had to give up the crazy idea of desperate.
"The military craftsmen of the Arab Empire continued to manufacture Xiangyang Cannons and destroyed the city wall of Yumen Pass. I don't believe it, they dared to go out of the city to attack the second time."
After Ali Hague calmed down, he used his army to contain nearly 200,000 Han troops at Yumen Pass.
The offensive of the Hexi Corridor was blocked, and Mu Huali and Bo Er of Hetao suddenly rushed to Temujin. Temujin had to lead the army to deal with the matter of Hetao.
In other words, the strategic focus of the Mongol Empire has changed, and Temujin intends to move to Monan.
Ali Hague's army that attacked Yumen Pass became a partial division.
"Wait patiently for the rest of the reinforcements to arrive. Remember, the city must not be massacred."
Prime Minister Yelu Chucai followed Temujin out of the Hexi Corridor and told Ali Hague before leaving.
But Ali Hague didn't care.
The fortress that has blocked the Mongolian army for a long time must pay a heavy price before there will be more generals, and a batch of loot to boost morale.
"Khan went to Jiuyuan County, where can I block the offensive of the Liangzhou Army?"
"In addition to the Great Khan, there are also four major Khanates. I think they will soon get their good news."
After Yelu Chucai finished speaking, he entered the teleportation formation.
After Tiemuzhen suffered a loss in Jiuquan County, he returned to Dunhuang County and went directly to Jiuyuan County in the Hetao Plain.
Li Mu blocked Yinshan, Yue Fei swept the Hetao, and forced Mu Huali to fight the Han army decisively.
At this time, they got the gossip that Temujin went to the Hetao Plain!
