Chapter 509 Battle in the Western Regions
From the beginning to the end of the battle in Yanzhou, a steady stream of information was transmitted to Lin Yifan.

Looking at the information in his hands, Lin Yifan's expression gradually became serious.This is a piece of information about Cao Jun's soldiers and horses stationed in Pingyang County. After Cao Jun retreated from Donghu, he did not give up the controlled land of Yanzhou. Instead, he continuously mobilized food and grass to transport to the barracks.Such a change made him wonder whether Cao Jun wanted to take the opportunity to occupy the southern area of ​​Yanzhou and push the line of defense to the north of Longjiang.If this is the case, the exhausted Yanzhou army is no match at all, and they will either acquiesce, or fight Cao Jun to the death.

"Cao Ziyan is really good at calculating." Lin Yifan couldn't help but sighed, now Yanming and Mingzhou are greatly weakened, and Hengshan is facing a two-front battle, so there is no time to take care of the Central Plains.Cao Jun occupied the south of Yanzhou at this time, and it was just the right time.

But this is also good, as long as Cao Jun and Yan Ming turn against each other, the external environment Hengshan faces will be alleviated, and it will not be suppressed by the three parties.After Lin Yifan closed the information, he no longer paid attention to the affairs of Yanzhou, but turned his attention to the grassland.

Since Luo Feng wiped out the [-] garrison of Donghu and Xijing last month, Donghu's confidantes have been completely exposed to Hengshan's troops.It's a pity that the current Hengshan doesn't have the energy to recruit too many reinforcements, otherwise, maybe they can take down Sirius City in one fell swoop and shake the foundation of Donghu.

Now that the Donghu people are returning to the north, Lin Yifan knows that Luo Feng's good times are coming to an end.On the same day, a letter was sent to Luo Feng, ordering Luo Feng to accept it as soon as he saw a good deal, and withdraw his troops as soon as Donghu's army hadn't returned.

As for the Donghu people's counterattack, Lin Yifan was not too worried. With the complete defense system of Xiayang Pass, if the Donghu people dared to attack Xiayang Pass, what would greet them would be a baptism of blood and fire.

On the contrary, it was the battles in the Western Regions that worried Lin Yifan all the time. However, the distance between the Western Regions was too far. Until now, no battle reports from the Western Regions had been sent back.Now more than five months have passed, and the reinforcements from Hengshan have almost just arrived at Tianjiguan. I don't know if there is still time?Has the Western army already invaded the Western Regions?

This time, Hengshan has already invested half of Hengshan's troops in the Western Regions. If it loses, not only the Western Regions will fall into the hands of Western countries, but also seriously threaten the border of Hengshan; Hengshan, which has lost a large number of troops, will be seriously weakened.At that time, Hengshan will not be able to deter the surrounding forces, and will inevitably attract the eyes of the surrounding forces.

"In the final analysis, we still need to stabilize Huazhou as soon as possible and mobilize the troops stationed in Huazhou so that we can calmly deal with the current situation." Lin Yifan sighed slightly, shaking his head bitterly to himself.Huazhou was unstable for a day, and the [-] troops could not get away. Facing the aggressive attitude of the grassland and Cao Jun, they could only take a defensive position, which was really aggrieved.

In mid-July, the sky in the Western Regions is urgently closed.

Now there are 13 troops gathered in the pass. Among these defenders, in addition to the [-] Tianji pass guards, there are also [-] reinforcements dispatched from the Duhufu.

But the number of enemies they faced was as many as 50. Looking west from the wall, they could only see a stretch of densely packed tents, covering the wilderness.In this endless camp, countless Xingyue flags and red flame flags are flying, representing the Sayyer Khanate and the Ukaner Sultanate respectively.

To this day, Tianjiguan has stood firm in front of the 50 troops for more than four months.Relying on the steep passes and complete defensive measures, the two major western powers were kept out of the Western Regions.But this result also cost the Hengshan Army tens of thousands of horses, which was quite heavy.

The reason why the loss was so huge was that the Sayyer Khanate used a large number of heavy-duty catapults to throw stones weighing hundreds of catties onto the wall. Hit by the debris splashed out by the boulder, causing a large number of casualties.Another thing that made Hengshan's army palpitate was the crowd tactics launched by the Ukaner Sultanate.A large number of slave soldiers attacked Tianjiguan regardless of life and death, and stepped forward, not afraid of the firepower of the Hengshan army. Amidst the sound of explosions, they put ladders on the wall of the gate and climbed up crazily.If this is the case, the Hengshan Army has plenty of ways to deal with it, but the most troublesome thing for them is the sharpshooter hidden in the slave army. As long as the Hengshan Army shows up at the top of the city to prevent the slave soldiers from climbing the wall, they are very likely to be shot by a cold arrow. Shot.

Today's sky is closed, and the walls are in a mess, gravel, corpses, blood, all mixed together, in the scorching heat of July, emitting a strong stench.The corpses under the city were piled up layer by layer. If the Hengshan Army hadn't burned them with kerosene every day, the stench would have been so stinky by now, it was very likely to cause a plague.

In the Guan Nei Chamber, Shi Shouyi, Murong Tan, and Meng Tong sat around together, with rather ugly faces.

"Two generals, my military equipment in the pass is almost exhausted now. If there is no more replenishment, I'm afraid the casualties will increase day by day." Shi Shouyi looked at the two of them and sighed, "General Meng, the guards in the Dufu Mansion will definitely increase." By the way, is it really impossible to support another batch of armaments?"

Meng Tong smiled wryly, "General Shi, it's not that we are unwilling to support the government, it's because we are running out of stock. If the battle is urgent today, the Xijin werewolves in the north are already ready to move, sending troops to the south to harass and test our army's reality. .If all the general equipment is sent, the Protectorate will be unable to deter the ambitions of the Western Gold werewolves. Chaos in the Western Regions will put our army in danger."

"However, if the Heavenly Gate cannot be held, and the two great powers in the West enter the Western Regions, then the foundation we have laid here will be uprooted." The young Murong Tan said dissatisfiedly, "Not only will the Western Regions be lost, but even the Western Regions will be destroyed." Shazhou will also face powerful enemies. What we need to do now is to hold on to the Tianji Pass and wait for reinforcements to arrive. If the Xijin werewolves go south, then let them take over the countries of the Western Regions, as long as Shasha is still under the control of the Protectorate Under the circumstances, on the day when the reinforcements arrive, I will spit out as much as the werewolf of the Western Jin Dynasty swallowed."

"The countries in the central and western regions have surrendered to Hengshan, and I, Hengshan, also have the responsibility to protect their country. If it is allowed to be annexed by the Western Gold werewolves, what is the reputation of Hengshan? How will the countries in the Western Regions trust me in Hengshan in the future?" Meng Tongyao Shaking his head, he said in a deep voice.

"Having said that, when will the reinforcements arrive?" Murong Tan slumped down on his seat weakly, "Although our army is strong, we are short of armaments. Once they are exhausted, we will have to fight each other. Tens of thousands of people, how can they resist the opponent's hundreds of thousands of troops?"

"Don't worry, little general Murong. If my predictions are correct, the reinforcements should be here soon." Although Shi Shouyi was worried, he still cheered up and comforted Murong Tan's restless heart.
