Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2306: Ju Yi Fights Gai Suwen Again

Before obtaining Xizhou, Yumen Pass was naturally the top priority for the Jin army.

However, after they gained control of Xizhou, its strategic position plummeted.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be only Ju Yi and his 3,000 vanguard soldiers deployed here.

  Who would have thought?

Xizhou would be completely isolated from the Yuan Mongols, so that today's Yumen Pass has been placed again in such a crucial position.

It was also because of the three thousand reinforcements that Ju Yi had enough time to breathe and his life could be a little easier.

It was precisely because of the arrival of these 3,000 reinforcements that Mahamu had to rest for a period of time.

The continuous strong attacks were extremely difficult for Ju Yi, but Yuan Meng was already exhausted and almost reached a limit. If they did not temporarily relax this string and continued to attack blindly, they were afraid that once the soldiers broke this string, they would collapse step by step.

But after receiving the reinforcements, Ju Yi became restless and led the cavalry to attack. Although he did not cause many casualties to Mahamu, only two or three hundred people, it dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the Yuan Mongols.

The reason why Mahamu almost became a laughing stock among the Yuan Mongols was because of Ju Yi's two proactive attacks. Being fooled once would be fine, but being fooled twice in a row, especially with such a huge gap in the power held by both sides, everyone would laugh at him.

At this time, Ju Yi was actually living a very comfortable life. Even though the fighting was difficult, at least he had survived that period. He had survived the most difficult period.

With the current casualty rate of the Yuan Mongols, it is impossible to launch a fierce attack like before, and to launch a continuous fierce attack. The Yuan Mongols' troops will also collapse. With the casualties of the soldiers, their morale will also decline. Not to mention that there are also some vassal troops among the Yuan Mongols' troops.

In other words, he will be able to relax for a long time.

However, Ju Yi had not really been able to relax for a few days, as Gai Suwen came with 20,000 soldiers and horses to attack.

  This made Ju Yi want to curse!

After finally defeating Mahamu and forcing him to take a breath, a fresh force arrived. If it were someone else, he would probably go crazy.

However, no matter what, the most important thing next is to try every possible way to deal with this crisis.

  What can you think of?

Of course, they could only send light cavalry out to go deep into Xizhou and try to get some help from Su Dingfang.

Apart from Su Dingfang, Ju Yi could not count on anyone else.

However, the reason why he didn't do this before was because it was extremely difficult to reach Su Dingfang after going west through Yumen, and it was even more difficult for Su Dingfang to provide support. The Gobi Desert was the greatest despair of heaven.

Over the years, every time the Jin army sent supplies to Su Dingfang in Xizhou, only 30% of the supplies could arrive normally, and this did not include the normal losses along the way. If the normal losses along the way were included, the proportion would be even lower.

However, let's not talk about whether Su Dingfang's support can arrive normally. But even if it can arrive, it will take a long time.

And they had to get through this long period of time on their own.

The day after Gai Suwen arrived, he couldn't wait to launch a violent attack.

Ju Yi and Gai Suwen are old friends. Ju Yi was one of Li Xiang's earliest generals, and Gai Suwen was also one of Temujin's earliest generals.

When Wanyan Aguda was still alive, these two had fought against each other. However, that battle was not a very good experience for both of them.

After all, Ju Yi had been active in the border areas for so many years, and the two men had occasionally met each other, but there had not been a direct head-on collision like before.

Many years later, the two finally sparked again.

When facing this old rival, Ju Yi did not show any weakness at all.

He directly opened the gate of Yumen Pass and let his first-line soldiers guard the gate. When the Yuan and Mongolian troops rushed over, the first-line soldiers' advantage of strong attack and sharp crossbows was fully utilized in this narrow environment.

The corpses of Yuan and Mongolian soldiers almost covered the city gate.

Under normal circumstances, Ju Yi would not easily use this kind of tactics against Mahamu.

It is difficult to get support for Yumen Pass nowadays. Although there is no shortage of supplies in the city, they are limited after all. As time goes by, if there is no support, the crossbows will always be used up.

Therefore, Ju Yi used it sparingly before.

After all, the strongest aspect of the Xiandeng Death Squad is their bows and crossbows. Once the crossbow arrows are used up, they are like toothless tigers.

But facing his old friend Gai Suwen, he had to find a way to dampen the opponent's fighting spirit, so he let go in this battle and didn't care about the consumption of crossbow arrows.

Gai Suwen had experienced this before.

If the opponent dares to come out, no matter how powerful his bows and crossbows are, Gai Suwen will have a way to beat the shit out of him.

However, the enemy was hiding at the city gate, so Gai Suwen really had no other options. He couldn't risk the lives of the Yuan and Mongolian soldiers! Moreover, even if he really didn't care about casualties, he might not be able to win the battle.

According to the original history, the stubborn Gongsun Zan and the White Horse Volunteers are the best examples.

Moreover, Gai Suwen had already discovered that the figures on the city wall kept flickering. If his soldiers were really concentrated in large numbers at the city gate, they would not only face the death squad first. If a large amount of kerosene was suddenly poured from above, they could just set up a table and have a barbecue.

Therefore, no matter how aggrieved Gai Suwen felt, he could only let the soldiers withdraw temporarily.

Then, they followed the example of the Jin army and used catapults to carry out continuous bombardment.

However, the Yuan Mongols were destined to fail to make use of the Jin army's artillery tactics. After all, although they obtained a batch of catapults from Liangzhou, their number was limited after all.

However, if there are not enough machines, we have to use manual labor.

Gai Suwen ordered some soldiers to dismount and continuously rain arrows in the direction of Yumen Pass, intending to use this method to consume as much manpower as possible at Yumen Pass.
