Lord of the People of Online Games (Lord of the Gaming World)

"Thank you for your help in time, otherwise we may be wiped out."

Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, Xu Huang and others almost lost their strength and joined the generals Feng Yi, Zhang He, Ju Yi, and Xie Ai who came to support them.

Among these people, Xie Ai, in white clothes and white hat, is a strange person. Even Huangfu Song does not know his origin. He only knows that he is from Dunhuang, Liangzhou, and has a certain ability to command troops and horses. The prefect of Wuwei County, guarding against Xu Fengnian.

At this time, Yumen Pass was in trouble, Xie Ai immediately counted the troops and came to support.

The 30,000 Xiliang Army is a force that cannot be underestimated.

Temujin didn't know which generals and troops the Han Empire sent to support Yumen Pass, and he would not dare to act rashly for a while.

"I was waiting for the command of the general to help defend Yumenguan, and I happened to meet this person. This person was widely scouts in Jiuquan County. It was originally to deal with Xu Fengnian and monitor Jiuquan County's every move. It happened to come in handy."

Feng Yi met Xie Ai on the way. Xie Ai's scout in Jiuquan County learned that a Mongolian army was heading south, so he joined Feng Yi and came to the rescue together.

Huangfu Song looked at Xie Ai, this person does have some ability, otherwise Jiujiu Lao Qin would not hand over the important Wuwei County to him.

"So many soldiers and horses in the Hexi Corridor have been transferred here. Can Jiuquan County and Wuwei County have enough troops to guard them?"

Huangfu Song thought that Wuwei County sent 30,000 people to come to rescue, which is a good thing, but it also means that Wuwei County is empty.

"The general sent not only one legion, but two legions."

Not only Feng Yi's Thorn Cutting Corps, but also Cao Ren's Iron Wall Corps directly consumed gold and silver and used the teleportation array to reach Xiliang from Jizhou.

To this end, Chutian paid millions of taels of silver just to keep the Hexi Corridor.

The Hexi Corridor cannot be easily lost, nor can Yumen Pass be easily lost.

Only then did Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun feel relieved. Together with the two legions, they joined forces of more than 100,000 troops to guard against Temujin and continued to march towards Yumen Pass.

Once the Yumen Pass defenders are supplemented by more than 100,000 reinforcements, it will be extremely difficult for the Mongolian army to capture Yumen Pass.

At Yumen Pass, the defenders led by Xu Fengnian blocked the onslaught of the Mongolian army again and again, and the trebuchet destroyed almost all the arrow towers.

Even the walls of Yumen Pass are already scarred.

However, the Xiliang Army did not retreat.

Xu Fengnian shot an enemy soldier who was trying to climb the city wall with a bow, and his armor was full of marks of swords.

When the reinforcements of the Han Empire appeared behind Yumen Pass, the Xiliang army cheered.

Temujin bypassed the desert in the north and broke through the Great Wall. The Yumenguan defenders were almost left alone, but now it seems that Temujin's plan failed, and the reinforcements of the Han Empire successfully arrived at Yumenguan, increasing the strength of Yumenguan three or four times.

"I didn't expect that Chu Zimou would dispatch a legion to support him as promised, otherwise he would be unable to return to the pass."

Xu Fengnian felt fortunate for a while.

The situation is not optimistic, the reinforcements will not come again, the trebuchets and servants of the Mongolian army will consume all the defenders until the defenders surrender.

"I didn't expect that one day, I would be able to guard Yumen Pass. Even if there are 100,000 enemy troops outside Yumen Pass, I can't even think of crossing Yumen Pass half a step."

Huangfu Song, who also belonged to the generals of Xiliang, looked down on the Mongolian army under the city.

He has already experienced the most powerful cavalry in the Mongolian Empire, and when he looks at ordinary Mongolian cavalry, he is not very afraid.

The general of the Mongolian army commanding the siege is Ali Hague, a hero from the Qixue army, who can provide bonuses for siege equipment and siege troops.

Obviously, Ali Hague could not bring Huangfu Song a sense of oppression.

The characteristics of the emperor are often more domineering, and it is difficult for general generals to compete with them. Ali Hague is much weaker than Temujin.

"Tiemuzhen is in the Hexi Corridor, why not defeat the Mongolian army outside the city, recover Dunhuang County, and open up the passage to the Western Regions?"

After Zhang He arrived, he immediately proposed to attack.

Xu Fengnian nodded: "That's what I mean."

The most troublesome commanders of Temujin, Subutai, Zhebei, and Mu Huali were not in the Yumenguan battlefield. As long as the Han generals were strong enough, they might be able to defeat the Mongolian army under Yumenguan.

Xu Fengnian got the soldiers and horses of several veteran and young generals, and is confident to go out to meet Ali Hague!

"Wang Tiegun, count the Longxiang Army!"

Xu Fengnian immediately prepared a large army for the counter-offensive.

Suddenly, Han Sui's general Liang Xing, who was standing on the watchtower, reported an important news - reinforcements from the Ali Hague Army had also arrived!

In this support army, there are thousands of people with blonde hair and blue eyes, which are different from other Mongolian cavalry.

Not only that, the costumes of these thousands of people made Xu Fengnian feel familiar.

"Roman legion? This should be the legion formed by Temujin using captured Roman soldiers..."

Xu Fengnian and all the princes of the Han Empire knew that the Roman giant Crassus was captured by Temujin during the Third National War, and he was considered the most unlucky Roman giant.

Temujin was also a wise man, using the Roman eagle flag to rebuild the Roman legion for Crassus.

This Roman legion is a legion composed of real Roman citizens, with high combat power, which is not comparable to a servant army.

The eagle flag fluttered, and there was indeed a Roman legion. This Roman legion is dominated by Roman heavy infantry, with Mongolian cavalry, the cavalry is no longer the weakness of the Roman legion.

"Stop the plan to go out and attack the Mongolian army!"

Xu Fengnian had never fought against the Roman legion, so he was uncertain about the true combat power of the Roman legion, so he did not dare to act rashly.

After all, the Roman Legion was a well-known arm of the army.

Outside Yumen Pass, the unfortunate Crassus was ordered to lead a Roman legion, which numbered 5,000, but they were all high-level troops.

For the orders of the Great Mongolian Khan, he had to obey.

Along with the Roman legion came a group of Arab craftsmen.

Arab craftsmen brought precious drawings, and they also mastered the skills to make some special instruments.

"An unprecedented siege device will be put into use to capture this ancient pass."

It was not Crassus' Roman legion that Ali Hague had high hopes for.

Although the Roman legions were indeed very good at hand-to-hand combat, for the Mongol Empire, the Roman legions could not be replenished, which meant that they were also consumables and cannon fodder.

But the cost of this consumable is relatively high.

What Ali Hague really valued was the Arab craftsmen who came to assist in the attack on Yumen Pass.

The top craftsmen of the Arab Empire, with skills, as long as there are extremely precious drawings, then a new type of catapult will be manufactured - Xiangyang Cannon.

This kind of counterweight catapult uses a winch to lift heavy objects, converts kinetic energy by the potential energy generated when the configured heavy objects fall, and throws the stones at the other end of the lever with great power.

In "Lord", only with construction drawings can the corresponding siege equipment be produced.

Xiangyang Cannon is already a trebuchet at the peak of the cold weapon era!

This time, Temujin took out the trump card of Xiangyang Cannon, in order to capture Yumen Pass as soon as possible and defeat the princes of the Han Empire.

Arab imperial craftsmen built siege equipment day and night.

Temujin, who had entered the Hexi Corridor, sacked the towns along the way, and was unable to annihilate the legions of Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, so he planned to take advantage of the falsehood to capture Jiuquan County's headquarters.

However, Cao Ren and Man Chong's Tiebi Army came and held on to Jiuquan County, so Temujin had to divide his troops to capture several towns.

"Mu Huali of Hetao is asking for help. He is being attacked by the cavalry of the Han Empire. Please give the order!"

When Temujin was preparing to open up the battlefield at the rear of the Hexi Corridor, the commanders Mu Huali and Bo Er in Monan suddenly fell into an unprecedented crisis.

Temujin fell into a brief silence when he learned that the Han Empire had sent two vigilant commanders.

No matter Yue Fei or Li Mu, they were one of the top cavalry commanders, and Mu Huali couldn't support it alone.

As for Bo Erhu, one of the four cowards, he was a step behind Mu Huali, Yue Fei, Li Mu and others.

"It seems that it is necessary to go to Monan. Or should the place of the decisive battle be chosen in Mobei?"

Temujin's army quickly left Jiuquan County with the gold and silver they plundered and disappeared outside the pass.

The Hexi Corridor has temporarily returned to calm.

The battle at Yumen Pass is still going on, and the Mongolian army sieging the city has built a batch of siege towers, ladder trucks, and trebuchets.

This time, the trebuchet that bombed Yumen Pass was even more terrifying. A boulder weighing two or three hundred catties fell from the sky, smashing a military general defending the city into meat sauce!

The city gate tower was hit by a boulder, and with a bang, a corner collapsed, shocking!

The new catapults used by the Mongolian army have greater power and longer range, and some Mongolian military commanders have added bonuses to siege equipment, resulting in dense and destructive meteorites violently bombarding the city wall!

boom!

A crack appeared in the city wall of Yumen Pass, and the city bricks wrapped around the rammed earth shattered and fell off. Even the defending soldiers on the city wall felt the shaking under their feet!

A normal trebuchet is not so scary.

The Xiliang Legion, who was defending Yumenguan, quickly realized that the Mongolian army had replaced the trebuchet!

This kind of catapult, the Han Empire did not have the corresponding drawings, and could not be manufactured.

Xu Fengnian seemed to have thought of a corresponding large-scale siege equipment, and his face turned pale.

In the age of cold weapons, the Mongol Empire army besieged the fortified city of Xiangyang and could not capture it for a long time. Later, with the assistance of craftsmen from the Western Regions, the Mongolian army made a large counterweight catapult, that is, the Xiangyang Cannon, which was used to bombard Fancheng, successfully captured Fancheng, and forced the defenders of Xiangyang City to surrender.

Xiangyang artillery is already the pinnacle of the cold weapon era, and it still belongs to the scope of stone artillery.

If you want to surpass the Xiangyang Cannon, then you must make the real artillery - the original bronze cannon.

Under Yumen Pass, the siege equipment used by the Mongolian army to bombard Yumen Pass is likely to be the legendary Xiangyang Cannon!

"If it is really the Xiangyang Cannon, then the pressure we have to bear will be even greater..."

Xu Fengnian knew what the appearance of the Xiangyang Cannon meant.

The defenders had to bear the bombardment of Xiangyang artillery and the huge psychological pressure brought by them, and defended Yumen Pass.

Not only that, the Xiangyang artillery destroyed all the gate towers, arrow towers, battlements, and killed the soldiers, which was not the worst case.

The worst situation is that if the city wall is bombed and collapsed by Xiangyang, the Mongolian army will swarm up, and if there is no defender of the city wall, whether it can hold the Yumen Pass is still to be said.

"Make thirty large Xiangyang cannons and raze Yumen Pass to the ground."

The Mongolian general Ali Hague saw the great power of the Xiangyang Cannon and almost demolished the towering gate tower on the city wall. He was very satisfied with the performance of the Xiangyang Cannon, so he ordered the craftsmen of the Arab Empire to produce the Xiangyang Cannon for himself.

One after another Xiangyang artillery was gradually formed under the city, and it was continuously added to the ranks of siege equipment, and the situation of the defenders of Yumen Pass became more and more critical.

The boulder thrown by the Xiangyang Cannon, even if the general is hit, will be seriously injured if he does not die.

One of Han Sui's generals was hit by a 200-pound boulder while he was patrolling the city defense with cavalry, and he was killed immediately.

The Xiangyang Cannon brought a huge psychological shadow to the defenders.

Even if the Mongolian archers tried to pile up the mountains and shoot arrows at the defenders from a height, as long as the defenders held up their shields, it was possible to block the arrows of the Mongolian archers.

But in the face of the boulder projected by the Xiangyang Cannon, even holding a shield to block it would not help. The power of boulders is far greater than that of ordinary crossbows.

"The Xiangyang artillery has already shaken the army, and we must try to burn it. The number of Xiangyang artillery under the city exceeds 20, and if the number is allowed to increase, the Yumen Pass will be difficult to hold..."

Xu Fengnian summoned a group of generals, Feng Yi, Zhang He, Ju Yi, Xie Ai, Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun and other reinforcement generals, all under the jurisdiction of Xu Fengnian at this time.

Temujin left a backhand, not only dispatched Crassus' Roman legion to help, but also brought the Arab military craftsmen who could make Xiangyang Cannons to attack Yumen Pass, Xu Fengnian had to take the initiative to attack, in order to burn the Xiangyang Cannon.

The existence of Xiangyang Cannons seriously threatened the security of Yumen Pass.

If Xiangyang cannons are allowed to bombard, Yumen Pass will be in jeopardy.

"It is extremely dangerous to attack the trebuchets of the Mongolian army this time out of the city. But since the general died in a hundred battles, since he chose to defend the Yumen Pass, he must be prepared to wrap his body in horse leather."

Xu Fengnian called the generals to mobilize.

The enemy army has strengthened its offensive against Yumen Pass again and again, and even the trump card of Xiangyang Cannon has been revealed. It can be seen that the Mongolian Empire is bound to win Yumen Pass.

The more the other party wants to get something, the less he can give it, and the more disgusting the other party is.

Wang Yanzhang took the initiative to be the pioneer, and Ma Chao was willing to follow.

After Ma Teng became a Han minister, he volunteered for his son Ma Chao. Although he was worried about his safety, he could not excuse himself.

Zhang He and Ju Yi each held weapons and participated in the attack.

Xie Ai did not actively participate in the burning of the trebuchet: "I'm not good at bowing and horses, so I can only command from the city wall and answer everyone."
