Chapter 578: Luntai City

Luntai City is being besieged by the army of Ogedei and Yelu Dashi.

Before attacking Cheshiguo, Temujin agreed to Ogedei's proposal to obtain Xiangyang cannons to attack Luntai City, and sent craftsmen to Ogedei's army to create Xiangyang cannons for him.

Xiangyang cannon is a level 9 siege equipment with amazing destructive power.

When the Han Empire Expeditionary Force was busy gathering forces, dozens of Xiangyang artillery had already risen from the ground and launched a fierce bombardment on Luntai City!

A stone weighing hundreds of kilograms was shot out by a catapult, like a meteorite falling!

boom!

With the trembling of the city wall, a large piece of bricks broke and fell off, and sand filled the dust. All the defenders of Luntai City trembled in their hearts!

This is the first time that the defenders of the Western Regions Protectorate's Office have seen the powerful Xiangyang cannon!

Temujin had already tempted the Han Empire to send an expeditionary force, so there was no need to continue to siege Luntai.

In order to capture Luntai City at one time, Ogedei directly used huge rocks, fireballs, wolf smoke and other means to razed Luntai City to the ground!

Dozens of fireballs dragging rolling black smoke fell, spinning rapidly in the air, making contact with the air, burning rapidly, and hitting the city wall!

boom!

Fireballs crack, gravel splashes, sparks sputter!

"Ahhhhhhhh!"

The defenders who were splashed onto the armor were covered with fire and rolled on the city walls, trying to destroy the flames on their bodies.

The guards carrying wooden barrels hurriedly scooped water with wooden spoons to extinguish the flames.

With a sneer, the flames on the fired defenders were extinguished, and the place where the flames were burned was already burned with scorch marks.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

More fireballs fell, and gravel and flames were everywhere.

A fireball hit the arrow tower in Luntai City, directly destroying a corner of the arrow tower. The flames spread on the arrow tower. The archers standing on the arrow tower hurriedly escaped.

Huoan looked up at the sky, and the fireball thrown by the Xiangyang cannon was like a fire meteor, spinning at high speed and falling, causing Luntai City to tremble continuously.

Ogedei was completely angered by Huoan, and it was obvious that he wanted to razed Huoan's Luntai City to the ground, just like the royal city of the Ogedei Khanate, Mili City.

Huoan destroyed his Khanate, and Ogedei would also destroy Huoan's Western Regions Protectorate!

"Let the fire burn Luntai to destroy it, turn Luntai into a broken wall and into a ruin."

Ogedei watched the huge rocks and fireballs shot from dozens of Xiangyang cannons constantly bombarding Luntai City. Wolf smoke filled Luntai City, and thick smoke rolled, and finally showed a smile of revenge.

Xiangyang cannon bombarded Luntai City for several days, and at least thousands of defenders died in the fire caused by the huge rocks or fireballs of Xiangyang cannons.

Not only the defenders, many wooden houses in Luntai City were burned by fireballs, and at least hundreds of people were buried in the fire, making people panic.

Yelu Dashi was very interested in the giant siege equipment used by the Mongolian army. He learned for the first time that the Mongolian army had such a siege weapon.

"It's not only the Khan has this kind of catapult, but also the Torei of the Ili Khanate, so he can be invincible in West Asia and defeat everything. The Khan was so good about Torei that he handed over many elite cavalry to Torei, and planned to hand over the military and national affairs to Torei."

Ogedei was very dissatisfied with Temujin's re-use of the strongest military capabilities among the four sons.

Now Torei is fighting with the Persian Empire, shocking Persia and the Arab region, causing Persia and Arabia to have to join forces.

However, Ogedei was destroyed by the protection of the Han Empire.

This made Ogedei unable to raise his head in front of Temujin and others.

The more Ogedei thought about it, he became more and more angry. He pulled out the sword inlaid with gold: "Catch Luntai and allow the robbery of Luntai for three days! Reclaim your family, cattle, sheep, and food. Except for the Protectorate, all gold, silver, food, and women in the city are your property!"

"kill!"

The army of the Khanate of the Ogedei who destroyed the country was filled with anger. After Ogedei decided to allow them to rob Luntai City, they were full of fighting spirit and planned to break Luntai City and rob Luntai City to make up for the losses caused to them by Huo'an's fire Yemili City!

Woo--

The sound of the trumpet echoed over Luntai City. The 100,000 Mongolian troops and their servants recruited by their tribes in nearby villages and towns, followed one after another, like moths flying into a fire, launching a charge with Luntai City as the center!

As long as you capture Luntai City, you can not only regain the property that originally belonged to them, but also rob Luntai City, the richest city in the Western Regions Protectorate!

"Stay on this city, otherwise once the city is broken, the people of the whole city will suffer!"

Huoan knew that the situation was critical. If the defenders did not fight desperately at this time and were captured by the Mongolian army, what would the consequences be? Huoan would not be difficult to imagine.

Gao Xianzhi led the Anxi army and fired arrows to the densely packed Mongolian army and its servants on the city wall!

Ten thousand arrows were fired at once, and under the attack of a fireball like a fire meteor, they counterattacked the Mongolian army, and the arrows broke through the air!

Arrows fell and shot some of the enemy soldiers who were sieging the city!

Temujin supported a large number of craftsmen of Ogedei and Yelu Dashi. In addition to making Xiangyang cannons, these craftsmen were also building siege towers, ladder trucks, crossbows and other siege equipment.

The siege tower cast a shadow and slowly approached Luntai City under the push of hundreds of minion soldiers.

All the defenders of Luntai City looked at more than a dozen siege towers.

The siege tower is like a giant, one end higher than the city wall. Mongolian archers standing on the siege tower can look down on the defenders on the city wall.

The siege tower cooperated with Xiangyang artillery to the extreme threat to the defenders.

The defenders of Luntai City subconsciously swallowed.

The boulders and fireballs are still bombarding Luntai City. If such wooden beasts are approached by the city walls, Luntai City is likely to be lost.

"Fire Arrow Team, Bed Crossbow, Catastrophe, Destroy the Siege Tower!"

Huo'an used all means of defending the city to persevere.

A team of fire arrows fired rockets at the siege tower, hundreds of rockets covered the siege tower, and shot several archers standing on the siege tower!

The crossbow, the catapult uses thick crossbow arrows and huge stones to bombard the siege tower and directly use brute force to destroy it!

Accompanied by Xiangyang cannons and siege towers, there were ladder vehicles and hundreds of simple ladders. In order to increase the pressure on the defenders, Ogedei commanded the siege troops to siege from all directions.

On each city wall, there is a ten thousand men supervising the troops to attack the city!

The Mongolian army braved the rain of arrows from the defenders and approached the city wall desperately. The iron hook of the ladder hooked the city wall. Soldiers holding round shields climbed the city wall and fought fiercely with the defenders on the city wall!

The defenders threw rolling stones and mulberry trees, and the huge yakshas rose and fell, killing the enemy soldiers who were sieging the city.

The siege troops like ants suffered heavy casualties, and under the city walls, corpses piled up like mountains.

However, even so, enemy soldiers still attacked the city wall and fought with the defenders.

Huo An personally held a spear and assassinated a Mongolian siege army.

"This is a soldier from the Wusun Kingdom! The King of Wusun betrayed me!"

Huo'an's military power was not low. He saw clearly the armor of the enemy soldiers he killed, and it was clearly the soldiers of the more powerful Wusun Kingdom among the 36 countries in the Western Regions.

King Wusun, King Loulan and other kings of the 36 states in the Western Regions were responsible for cutting off the rear. King Loulan was killed by Yelu Dashi, the nobles of Dayuan, Jian Mi died in battle, and King Wusun was captured by Ogedei.

The soldiers of the Wusun Kingdom were regarded as servants to attack the city by Ogedei and Yelu Dashi. It is very likely that the captured Wusun King had betrayed Huo'an and served Ogedei and Yelu Dashi.

Some of the 36 countries in the Western Regions were willing to fight for Huo'an, while others were not loyal.

After the conquered by Huoan, King Wusun was captured by Ogedei. In order to save his life, he commanded the cavalry of the Wusun Kingdom and served as the servants of Ogedei.

"King Wusun, if it weren't for you to lead the way, it might not be that easy for us to march to Luntai City. When we capture Luntai City, I will report your military achievements to the Khan, so that Wusun Kingdom can be restored, and at the same time, Huo'an's family will be given to you all."

Beside Ogedei was the pale-faced King Wusun.

King Wusun witnessed the murder of King Loulan and chose to surrender, but he was not very willing to offend his former Lord Huo An.

King Wusun said with a ugly face: "Huo'an's family should be in the southern central region of the Han Empire. After capturing Luntai City, I only asked the Khan to give our tribe a grassland for grazing. As for Huo'an's family, please let Khan let go..."

"Accounting the Protectorate of the Western Regions, the Han Empire will sooner or later be our possession, and the Southern Central region will also surrender to our military front."

When Ogedei saw that the Wusun King was weak, he scoffed at him.

In Ogedei's view, only Yelu Dashi, who has the ability to command and strategy, has the need to win over. The King of Wusun in front of him, with his weak character and mediocre ability, is at most a servant.

"call……"

Huo'an killed seven enemy soldiers who had climbed the city in a row, burned two ladders, panting, and was almost shot by a branch of the arrow.

An injured Han general didn't care about rest and came to see Huoan in person. He saw that Huoan was besieged by a Mongolian centurion with more than a dozen Wusun soldiers, so he bent his bow and shot the Mongolian centurion among them.

"Chen Tang, your injuries are serious and you must not come to the city wall."

Huo An saw that the military general who came to help was the Han general Chen Tang. Chen Tang was besieged by Ogedei and Yelu Dashi, and his injuries had not yet recovered.

At this time, Chen Tang came to the city wall with his wounds and still shot and killed a Mongolian centurion.

"Master Protector, if you continue like this, Luntai City will not be able to hold on for too long..."

As the top three generals under Huo An, Chen Tang's ability decreased after being injured. When he saw Luntai City being bombarded by Xiangyang's cannon, he was in a terrible state, and he couldn't help but feel shocked.

The power of Xiangyang cannon exceeded the imagination of the Luntai City defenders.

If Ogedei and Yelu Dashi had not received support from Temujin, they would have been more than enough to stay in Luntai City for half a year.

However, the military craftsmen supported by Temujin built siege equipment for Ogedei and Yelu Dashi, which posed a great threat to Luntai City.

"What do you think should we do?"

Huoan stabbed a Wusun soldier to death with a spear and asked Chen Tang.

Chen Tang also held a spear in his hand and fought side by side with Huoan: "Send a cavalry to break through and try to attract reinforcements. If a reinforcement army enters the city, the morale of the defenders in the city will be greatly boosted, and the morale of the Mongolian army sieges will be reduced, and it will be easier to defend the city. Even the Mongolian army outside the city will be shaken and give up attacking Luntai City."

Huoan drew his spear and the soldiers of Wusun Kingdom fell: "After that being said, I don't know if the princes in the pass come to help in time. If they don't come to the Western Regions, only the forces of Cheshi Kingdom would be unable to break through the Mongolian army outside the city and enter the city!"

"This is indeed a problem. It would be great if we could learn about the situation in Cheshiguo."

Chen Tang killed another enemy soldier.

Suddenly, Huo An looked into the air and saw a black war eagle fighting against the war eagle of the Detective Horse Red above Luntai City, breaking through the blockade of the Detective Horse Red Ware eagle and sweeping down quickly!

"The War Eagle of the Iron Eagle Scout, and it's the Eagle King!"

Huo An has worked with Chu Tian more than once, so he is very familiar with the War Eagle Scout of the Iron Eagle.

Just like the hierarchy of human civilization, even animals have their own hierarchy. The Iron Eagle Scout has many war eagles, among which the war eagle raised by Mulan is the Eagle King among all the war eagles.

Only Mulan's war eagle can fight with the war eagle of the Detective Horse, and can break through the blockade of several Detective Horse Red War eagles and land smoothly on Huo'an's shoulders.

If you see the War Eagle of the Iron Eagle Scout here, it often means that the special cavalry Iron Eagle Scout is in the Western Regions at this time, which also indirectly shows that Chu Tian, ​​behind the Iron Eagle Scout, led an expeditionary force to support the Western Regions Protectorate.

Since Chu Tian arrived, the other northern princes should not be indifferent.

Huo An excitedly took out the paper sticker from the paper tube tied to the war eagle's claws, and saw the small words on it, and was half happy and half sad.

"how?"

Whether Chen Tang, Gao Xianzhi, or ordinary soldiers from the Western Regions Protectorate, they all looked at Huo'an.

This note may determine the survival of Luntai City and the survival of the Western Regions Protectorate.

"Two news, one is good and the other is bad." Huo An sighed, "The good news is that the princes in the pass sent 500,000 troops to support Luntai."

"Hiss, a army of 500,000…!"

The morale of the defenders of Luntai City was boosted.

This is the main force of 500,000!

There are not so many main forces in the entire Western Region Protectorate!

If such a large number of main forces come to support, then the siege of Luntai City by Ogedei and Yelu Dashi may be lifted.

Chen Tang knew that this might not be complete information: "So bad news?"

What Huoan is worried about is bad news: "The bad news is that the reinforcements are still between Cheshi Kingdom and Yanqi Kingdom. Temujin occupied Yanqi Kingdom. If the reinforcements want to rescue us, they must recover Yanqi Kingdom. Behind the reinforcements, there are also Subutai cavalry. Before the reinforcements arrive, we must try to defend Luntai City."

Chen Tang, Gao Xianzhi, and other military generals from the Western Regions Protectorate were all in silence.

Temujin may not give up the Yanqi Kingdom, and may stick to Yanqi and block the expeditionary army of the Han Empire.

After the Han Empire sent an expeditionary force, Luntai City had lost its value of siege, and the Mongolian army would conquer Luntai City at all costs.

"Luntai City cannot be lost. Once Lutai City is lost, it will not only destroy the Western Regions Protectorate, but also 500,000 expeditionary troops. If they go deep into the Western Regions and Lutai is lost, they will be trapped in a siege and cannot advance or retreat."

Huoan took out a recruitment order.

This is a special hero recruitment order, and it is a reward that Huoan received after conquering the royal city of Yemili City of the Ogedei Khanate.

This recruitment order guarantees the recruitment of heroes of king-level quality.

However, the special thing about this recruitment order is that it has a cooling time.

The reward can only be used after three months of the destruction of the Ogedei Khanate.

"Gan Yanshou, you lead a team of cavalry to break through the encirclement, join forces with reinforcements, inform the reinforcements of Luntai City, and lead them to attack the enemy soldiers!"

Huo An hesitated for a while and decided to send Chen Tang's partner, Han general Gan Yanshou, to contact reinforcements.

The War Eagle's small notes can only convey very limited intelligence.

"Here!"

Gan Yanshou led a team of Han cavalry to assemble at a city gate.

"Take care of yourself."

Chen Tang clasped his fists to Gan Yanshou.

Their combination is like Gongsun Ao and Wei Qing, Zhao Ponu and Huo Qubing.

"When I bring reinforcements back to Luntai City, don't defend the city during this period."

Gan Yanshou shook the red tassel spear in his hand, said goodbye to Chen Tang, and then led three hundred Han cavalry out of the city!

The east city gate suddenly opened. When the Mongolian army attacked Luntai, Gan Yanshou did not retreat but advanced, and led his troops out of the city, which caught the Mongolian army outside the city off guard.

"Stop them!"

Soon the ten thousand men, who presided over the attack on this wall, realized Gan Yanshou's intention and sent a reserve team.

A team of Mongolian light cavalry came to intercept.

"Must rush out..."

Huo'an was on the city wall, staring heavily at Gan Yanshou who broke through and the Mongolian cavalry who were intercepting the three hundred Han cavalry.

Gan Yanshou stabbed the oncoming cavalry to death. The spear was not enough to be pulled out, and another enemy cavalry stabbed him. Gan Yanshou had to pull out the ring-headed sword and block the spear.

All the cavalry who followed Gan Yanshou fought desperately!

The Mongolian cavalry did not seem to have expected a team of cavalry to break through at this time. They were caught off guard and were killed by Gan Yanshou and then broke through. More than a hundred cavalry behind Gan Yanshou died.

"Gan Yanshou broke through successfully!"

All the defenders in Luntai City put their hopes on Gan Yanshou. After they broke through successfully, they might be able to join the reinforcements coming from the pass in the direction of the Iron Eagle Scout's War Eagle flying in!
