Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2310: Han Qi enters Yumen, Ma Yuan's body is returned

Maodun's judgment was absolutely correct. The number of cavalrymen under Ma Yuan did not exceed two thousand. At most, there were only eighteen hundred cavalrymen.

However, Yelu Chucai's guess was also very correct. With Meng Ao, they could tie some of the infantry to the war horses and disguise them as cavalry, even if this method meant sending them to their deaths. The same could be done with Ma Yuan.

Therefore, Ma Yuan had an additional thousand men under his command.

However, Ma Yuan did not choose these infantrymen tied to war horses to die for him. It was his cavalry who chose to die.

Ma Yuan's cavalrymen were indeed equipped with two horses each, but where did the remaining horses go?

They are all here with Ma Yuan now!

Every war horse was loaded with stuff.

The remaining crossbows, crossbow arrows, kerosene, etc. in Dunhuang City that could be carried by war horses were given priority.

There are not many arrows, the key is the crossbow and the crossbow arrows, which are the strongest support that can be given to Ju Yi at this time.

The purpose of Ma Yuan and his men's death was to deliver these things, plus the one thousand infantrymen, into the pass.

These things are what Ju Yi needs most now, not their 1,800 cavalry. These supplies are more important than these cavalry. And only by letting these cavalry sacrifice, it is possible to successfully deliver these supplies to Yumen Pass.

Moreover, in a defensive battle, the role of infantry is definitely better than that of cavalry!
Like a warrior who was ready to die, Ma Yuan led 1,800 cavalrymen and charged resolutely towards Gai Suwen's army.

Tolui's scouts and the Red Army were operating within a radius of fifty miles around Gai Suwen and his men. When Tolui discovered the Jin cavalry, he would immediately inform Gai Suwen and his men to avoid any unexpected factors as much as possible.

Although Gai Suwen did not know that Ma Yuan's troops were nearby, he knew that Dou Xian's golden fire cavalry had appeared, so it was not completely unprepared.

At this moment, Ma Yuan's 1,800 cavalrymen seemed to have really plunged into an abyss with no bottom.

"You are trying to stop a chariot with a mantis arm. You are overestimating your own abilities!" Gai Suwen sneered disdainfully as he looked at the charging Jin cavalry.

How can we shake their army of tens of thousands with such a small number of people?
However, since this group of people actually appeared, Gai Suwen would definitely not let them get away alive!

Ju Yi, who had arranged Mahamu to lead 10,000 troops to guard Yumen Pass, suddenly attacked. Gai Suwen used all the remaining troops to deal with Ma Yuan, not wanting to give Ma Yuan any chance to escape.

Not to mention that Ma Yuan was leading only ordinary Jin cavalry, even if he was leading the same number of golden fire cavalry, it would be impossible for him to break out under such a heavy siege.

While the two sides were fighting, another cavalry came out from another corner and rushed into the battlefield with all their might. Gai Suwen frowned. Fortunately, the number of this cavalry was not large and could not affect the overall situation or change the current situation on the battlefield.

Just as he was preparing to further deploy troops to surround this part of the cavalry, this cavalry suddenly turned halfway and charged towards Yumen Pass.

This scene happened so fast that even Gai Suwen and Mahamu were stunned for a moment. Ju Yi in the city seemed to have received the news in advance. When this cavalry charged over, the gate of Yumen Pass was opened immediately, and the first batch of death soldiers rushed out in full armor, not giving the Yuan and Mongolian troops a chance to rush into the city.

"Fell into a trap!"

Gai Suwen couldn't help but groan in annoyance. At this moment he finally understood that Ma Yuan's troops were meant to give the cavalry a chance to enter the city.

However, he really couldn't figure out what the significance of Ma Yuan's doing this was.
That cavalry had only a thousand men. Even if they entered Yumen Pass, it would only cause them some trouble for a while. Could it possibly turn the tide? Moreover, what was the point of making such a huge sacrifice?
Apparently, Gai Suwen did not notice that the ownerless horses were loaded with large and small bags.

However, this is actually a normal phenomenon for cavalry.

After all, whether one person rides two horses or three horses, the extra horses, in addition to being used as spare horses, are not to say that nothing is left. Spare weapons, food and other things will be placed on the spare horses. Therefore, it is normal to have large and small bags.

"Use all your strength to kill the enemy cavalry!" An annoyed Gai Suwen vented his anger on the besieged Ma Yuan.

Ju Yi, who was on the city wall, could only watch Ma Yuan fighting alone there, but he could not lead his troops to fight out.

Although he had taken the initiative to attack twice, both of them were based on sneak attacks.

Now, Mahamu was still leading 10,000 soldiers and horses to guard against them! If he rushed out at this time, it would be no different from handing Yumen Pass over to others.

Moreover, although the first-line death squad is powerful, that is based on special circumstances. Once they leave the city and reach open areas, what can they use to fight against the enemy cavalry?

With a gap of more than ten times in troop strength, even if Ma Yuan had extraordinary ability, it would be of no avail.

The knights following him fell on the battlefield every moment, and even he himself suffered more and more wounds. The white robe behind him was stained red with blood, and it was unclear whether it was stained with the blood of the enemy or his own blood.

Han Qi, who had just entered Yumen Pass, looked at Ma Yuan fighting alone under the city wall. His heart was bleeding, but he was powerless.

He saw with his own eyes that after the wounded Ma Yuan had hacked a Mongolian soldier to death, he was suddenly attacked by Gai Suwen who slashed him in the back, almost cutting him in half from the back.

This scene made Han Qi clench his fists involuntarily. His nails dug deeply into the flesh of his palms, and blood seeped out, but he was still unaware.

"Forget it, this guy is a real man, let's restrain him, okay?"

Seeing that Gai Suwen still wanted to dismember the body to vent his anger, Mahamu couldn't bear it anymore and spoke out to stop him.

Although Gai Suwen was an important general of the Yuan Dynasty, his foundation was shallow, and Mahamu's family was considered a great noble of the Yuan Dynasty, so he was not afraid of Gai Suwen.

Of course, it is precisely because of this that Gaisuwen has to give Mahamu some face.

Mahamu had his men tear down the broken flag of the Jin army, wrapped Ma Yuan's body with the flag, and sent it to the gate of Yumen Pass.
