"Huo Qubing, Wang xuance and others have really won the Yanqi state. They are indeed offensive generals."
When Chu Tian joined forces with Muke and Xu Fengnian and arrived in Yanqi state, Huo Qubing and other cavalry raids achieved success and expelled the garrison of Ali Haibin, a Mongolian general stationed in Yanqi.
At the same time, Tiemuzhen lost Yanqi, the supply point at the southern foot of Tianshan Mountains, and had to withdraw to Luntai city.
Cheshi state, Yanqi state, Luntai state, this front has been broken through, there is no city to stop the Han Empire expeditionary army to rescue Luntai state!
As long as you rest and replenish in Yanqi, you can arrive in Luntai, fight with the main force of the Mongolian Empire, and lift the siege of Luntai city by the Mongolian Empire!
Luntai city has been besieged for quite some time. According to the judgment of Chu Tian and other Han Dynasty princes, if the Mongolian army attacking the city used counterweight type stone throwing machine and other siege equipment, it would be difficult for Huoan's Luntai city to hold on for a long time.
At present, there are hundreds of thousands of Mongolian cavalry assembled in Luntai state, which is equivalent to all the main forces of the Mongolian Empire in the western regions and the main cavalry forces of the two Khanate states. All of them are assembled in Luntai city!
This time, even if they were crazy, such as Huo Qubing and Wang xuance, they did not dare to lead tens of thousands of cavalry to raid Luntai. Otherwise, they would easily fall into the siege of hundreds of thousands of Mongolian cavalry, and finally be defeated. Instead of lifting the siege of the Mongolian army on Luntai City, it will be completely destroyed.
"My Lord, there is a cavalry detachment of the Han Army coming from Luntai city!"
"It should be the cavalry team sent by huo'an to convey information to us. Welcome quickly!"
When the gate of Yanqi was opened, a cavalry of Han army broke into Yanqi. The Han general, the leader of the army, was seriously injured. After entering Yanqi, he fell down from his horse's back!
"General!"
The cavalry of the Han army quickly turned over and dismounted and helped Gan Yanshou, who was dripping with blood.
"Go and see the doctor!"
Chen Qingzhi led a small group of white robed soldiers to meet him. He found that Han General Gan Yanshou was injured and fell from his horse. At this time, only the miracle doctor Hua Tuo could recover from the dead!
Hua Tuo, a famous doctor, followed the expeditionary army and saved the dead and wounded. He was highly respected among the expeditionary forces of the Han Empire.
"The general was hit by six arrows. Fortunately, he didn't hit the key point, and he was in danger of no life. He just needed a period of recuperation, otherwise the wound would be difficult to completely recover."
Hua Tuo examined Gan Yanshou's body, applied herbs and healing drugs, stopped bleeding and prevented the deterioration of his injury.
"Luntai city is in a critical situation. How can we waste time healing! I want to see the general! "
Entrusted by huo'an, Gan Yanshou came to ask for help. He did not care so much. He just wanted to see Chu Tian as soon as possible and ask for rescue ship Taicheng as soon as possible.
"Alas..."
Hua Tuo found that many of the generals were quite irritable, especially some of them took death as their own and didn't care about their injuries.
It's hard for doctors to do.
"General GaN has ventured to break through the encirclement. Please don't worry. My general will lead his troops to rescue Luntai city."
Chu Tian comes with Dianwei and other guards.
He had learned from the surviving Han cavalry that Gan Yanshou led three hundred cavalry to break through the encirclement and come to look for the expeditionary army of the Han Empire. On the way, he encountered Tiemuzhen's cavalry, which was intercepted and killed again. Gan Yanshou's cavalry suffered losses again.
Three hundred cavalry set out from Luntai City, only 13 cavalry successfully converged with Chu Tian and others, and the death rate exceeded 90%!
This cavalry, almost at the risk of total annihilation, came out to pass information!
Chu Tian was awed by this.
With their own strength, the governor of the western regions carried the offensive of the Mongolian Empire and the two khanates for months, and the generals had tried their best.
Gan Yanshou nearly died in battle.
"What is the specific situation of Luntai city?"
The information sent by huo'an through the Warhawk is extremely simple. It is better to learn the defense situation of Luntai city directly from Gan Yanshou.
"The Mongolian army used a kind of powerful stone throwing machine, which could throw huge stones and fireballs weighing hundreds of Jin, as well as smoke and herbs that paralyzed the defenders. Luntai city was in danger..."
"We need a support Army to enter luntaicheng to help defend and boost morale. Otherwise, luntaicheng may not be able to defend! Please send a reinforcements ahead of time
When Gan Yanshou saw Chu Tian, he couldn't wait to ask Chu Tian for help.
After the sneak attack on wokuotai khanate, huo'an left 40, 000 of the main forces to guard the wheel platform, and the rest of the soldiers were low-level arms or village soldiers recruited temporarily.
Xiangyang artillery destroyed the fortifications of Luntai City, and huo'an's main force was lost. Facing the strong Khanate army, the temporary recruits were hard to defend the city.
Therefore, Gan Yanshou ventured to break through Luntai city and came to search for expeditionary forces of the Han Empire, seeking reinforcements to enter the city and assist in defense.
Chu thought for a moment that the goal of the Han Empire expeditionary force was to liberate Luntai city. If Luntai city was broken, the Han Empire expeditionary force would be in a dilemma.
Once the Han Empire expeditionary army could not recover Luntai City, the grain, water and arrows were exhausted, and all the 400000 expeditionary troops would be buried in the western regions.When they retreated, the cavalry with no speed followed the rear to intercept them, and Tiemuzhen and wokuotai pursued them. The reinforcements of the Han Empire would also collapse.
"Who can go ahead of time to help defend luntaicheng?"
Chu Tian considered sending a reinforcements into Luntai city to strengthen its defensive strength.
At the same time, the defenders of luntaicheng can attack the Mongolian army at any time.
"I'm going to the rescue boat city!"
Mu Ke volunteered.
Chu Tian shook his head: "it must be a cavalry to break through the besieged Mongol army and enter the city. Otherwise, your infantry will be surrounded by the Mongolian army, and you will not be able to enter the city, but will be completely destroyed. "
Muke bites his lips. Tengjia and Baigan soldiers belong to infantry. They are not good at horse fighting. When fighting, they need to dismount.
With the horse fighting ability of tengjiabing and Baigan soldiers, it is really impossible to break through the Mongolian defense line outside the city and enter the city smoothly.
"Give me a cavalry and let me enter Luntai city to guard the city."
Xu Fengnian, who has been silent for a long time, finally made a voice.
Muke lacked cavalry, but Xu Fengnian's Xiliang soldiers were good at cavalry assault.
"Huo Qubing and others need to stay and fight with Tiemuzhen. I'll give you ten thousand light cavalry and go to guard the city
Chu Tian gave Xu Fengnian ten thousand light cavalry of the Baipao army to Xu Fengnian. Xu Fengnian's troops reached 30000 and went to Luntai to defend the city.
Huo'an's strength, together with 30000 reinforcements, should not be a problem.
"I'll lead the way!"
Gan Yanshou got a batch of reinforcements and couldn't wait to return to Luntai city to lead the reinforcements to Luntai and boost the morale of the garrison.
"Your injury is so serious that it's not a problem?"
Chu Tian could not see the attribute of Gan Yanshou, but he knew that Gan Yanshou's force must have declined because of his injury.
But Gan Yanshou's courage grew stronger, and he planned to follow Xu Fengnian back to the city in person.
"At the end of the day, he was entrusted by hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians from Luntai and came out of the city to seek reinforcements. At this time, when we get reinforcements, we will return to Luntai! Please allow me
"That's it."
Chu Tian finally agreed that Gan Yanshou and the other 12 surviving Han cavalry followed Xu Fengnian to Luntai city.
Xu Fengnian summoned Wang Yanzhang, Ma Chao, Ma Teng, Han Sui, Yang Shihou, Li Hu and other ministries under his command, as well as Gan Yanshou, who was newly joined, to command 30000 cavalry to assist Luntai city!
Gan Yanshou explained the details of Luntai city to Chutian before he set out.
The enemy who besieged Luntai city was not only wokuotai and yeludashi, but also Chagatai from Ili River Valley.
In Chagatai Khanate, there may be a group of serchu Empire and huarazi model servants to join the army.
The four great Khan, with the characteristics of monarchy, is mostly related to the control of servants to join the army.
"Yeludashi was the founder of the Western Liao Dynasty. Maybe he had the characteristics of a monarch. It was equivalent to fighting four Khan in Luntai..."
Chu Tian's defense against the great stone was even on the Chagatai.
Perhaps the military capabilities of Chagatai and wokuotai may not be comparable to yeludashi.
Yeludashi should be one of the most fierce Khitans.
"Luntai city will be handed over to you. While guarding the city, you will be waiting for the opportunity to attack the Mongolian army and contain wokuotai and yeludashi."
Chu Tian admonished Xu Fengnian and Gan Yanshou before they set out.
The garrison of Luntai city is not only to defend the city, but also to threaten and contain the Mongolian army.
"As long as you enter Luntai City, you will be able to hold Luntai. If we can't break into the wheel, it means that we are completely destroyed. "
Xu Fengnian, armed with a gun, led the Xiliang army and ten thousand Central Plains cavalry. First Chu Tian and others went to Luntai.
Huo Qubing, Wang xuance, and Li Siye, the guardians of the western regions, were left by Chu Tian.
In Chu Tian's opinion, the generals of the western regions were suitable for attacking and could play a greater role in the expeditionary army.
When Tiemuzhen meets wokuotai and Chagatai, he will choose to fight the expeditionary army in the field.
The cavalry of Xu Fengnian and Gan Yanshou galloped away, and Muke stayed in the sword. If Xu Fengnian and Gan Yanshou successfully broke into Luntai City, Luntai city could stick to it.
On the contrary, Luntai city is quite dangerous.
After Chu Tian and others supplied in Yanqi, it took a lot of time for the army of Guanzhong to arrive in Yanqi.
"It's really difficult to stand fast. No wonder Huo Qubing and others have been held back..."
Mr. Qin took off his helmet and gasped.
The tactics of disturbing the army in Guanzhong is an experience.
In order to arrive in Yanqi, the army of Guanzhong paid a lot of heavy losses, and some generals such as Li Li, Guo Si and Zhang Xiu were injured.
"Gan shou..." When Mr. Qin heard that Gan Yanshou had come to rescue him, he thought for a while and said to Chutian and Muke, "in the decisive battle of Luntai City, more than 100000 people may be killed."
"If we win, the initiative is in our hands. The wokuotai Khanate has been destroyed. As long as the Chagatai Khanate is destroyed and the western region's governor's office restores its rule over the western region, Tiemuzhen can only return to Mobei. "Chu Tian, like the valiant old Qin, realized that the Han army was closer to Luntai city and closer to the decisive battle with timuzhen.
It was not so much a decisive battle with Tiemuzhen as a decisive battle with the Mongolian Empire and the two khanates.
Tiemuzhen, wokuotai, Chagatai, yeludashi, shubutai, Muhuali, Kelasu and others are in one camp. On the other hand, the expeditionary forces of the Han Empire are joined by general Huo Qubing, Wang xuance, Qin Liangyu and Wu Tu Gu, which are equally powerful.
As long as Tiemuzhen is not willing to give up Luntai City, then the war between the two sides in Luntai city is inevitable.
The supply of expeditionary forces of the Han Empire was less and less, while on the side of Tiemuzhen, Yanqi state was lost as a supply point, and Kucha state was relied on for supply, which also faced logistical problems.
The supply situation of both sides forced the decisive battle time of both sides to approach.
