Chaos of the Three Kingdoms Summons

Chapter 2250: Aid Liangxi, Crossing the Grassland, Liang Sanmeng

With the main force of 70,000 cavalry, plus the original 20,000 cavalry from Liangzhou and the 10,000 golden fire cavalry under Meng Tian, ​​Liangzhou at this time actually had nearly 100,000 cavalry.

  Yes, almost!

After all, the Liangzhou cavalry has suffered some damage in this battle.

For example, the 3,000 cavalrymen under Wang Xiaojie who were stationed in Wuwei.

Moreover, apart from the Golden Fire Cavalry, the rest of the cavalry in Liangzhou are stationed in various places.

However, with such a large number of cavalry under his command, Meng Tian finally began to feel confident and no longer fought so passively as before.

Of course, although he is confident, the current war situation is still not optimistic for Meng Tian, ​​especially in Liangxi.

Moreover, judging from the information Meng Tian has received so far, the situation on Su Dingfang's side is not good either!

  The cooperation between Murong Ke and Kublai Khan, one military and one civil, really complements each other. Moreover, the number of soldiers available for combat is almost twice that of Su Dingfang. It would be a miracle if Su Dingfang could have an easy time!

Meng Tian currently has no spare energy to take care of Su Dingfang. Liangxi alone is enough to give him a headache.

In the western part of Liangzhou, at the beginning, there were only 32,000 soldiers and horses in total.

  But what about their enemy Tolui?

Although Ji Gao had many clever strategies and had plotted against the Yuan Mongols again and again, he was severely short of strength, and all of his 2,000 defenders in Juyan died heroically.

From the very beginning, Dunhuang County, Jiuquan County, and Zhangye County were forced to selectively give up a large amount of territory and only hold on to a few cities, using space to exchange for time.

Moreover, in order to fight this battle, Dunhuang County Magistrate Han Qi, Jiuquan County Magistrate Gao Gong, and Zhangye County Magistrate Wen Tianxiang tried every possible means to recruit a large number of able-bodied men in a short period of time.

Even if they had abandoned some of the cities, some ruthless officials would arm some civilians and use this cruel method to buy more time for the western part of Liangzhou.

This form of resistance also stimulated and angered some Yuan Mongolian generals, and even a massacre occurred in the city.

Therefore, in a short period of time, the western part of Liangzhou had lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians, and the western part of Liangzhou suffered huge losses.

When Meng Tian received the news of the loss in the western part of Liangzhou, even his heart bleed!

Although he only took office as the Grand Commander of Liangzhou in recent years, Hezhou, where he previously served, is right next to Liangzhou. When he was the Grand Commander of Hezhou, the Golden Fire Cavalry once came to the aid of Liangzhou.

He knew better than anyone how difficult it was to build Liangzhou, especially the western part of Liangzhou.

It was a well-known fact in the Han Dynasty that Liangzhou was poor.

Liangzhou was poor, and the western part of Liangzhou was even poorer. As for Guyan, one of the four counties in western Liangzhou, it was the poorest of the poor.

Several generations of Liangzhou governors, together with several successive generations of county governors, worked hard to build Liangzhou, which resulted in certain achievements and could even occasionally provide some support to Su Dingfang's Xizhou.

However, this time, we were thrown back to the time before liberation overnight, and all the hard work of many years was destroyed.

With so many casualties, Dunhuang, Jiuquan and Zhangye counties have reached their limit. If reinforcements do not arrive, Liangxi will probably fall into the hands of Yuan and Mongolia. However, if reinforcements are sent, it will be an extremely risky thing!

If they were not careful, they would fall into the middle of the enemy's army of more than 200,000. If they were not careful, not only would they fail to break the siege of the three counties, but they would also end up with the annihilation of the entire army.

If the main cavalry force suffered too many losses, even if Wei Qing's main infantry force arrived later, it would naturally be at a strategic disadvantage, which would most likely affect the final outcome of the battle.

But if we don’t save them, losing three counties is actually nothing.

But the significance of these three counties is not themselves, but Su Dingfang's Western Province will be completely separated from the Central and Jin armies. Once it develops to this extent, their losses will be great.

"General Dou Xian, General Ma Yuan, I will give you my golden fire cavalry and transfer another 10,000 cavalry to you. Go to the grassland and support Dunhuang. I have only one request. You can lose other places in Dunhuang County, but you can't lose Dunhuang City and Yumen Pass. Which place can't be lost?"

"If these two places are lost, both of you should come to me with your heads!"

Although it was dangerous, the reality forced Meng Tian to send reinforcements.

After careful consideration, he finally decided not to go through Liangzhou, but to take the risk of walking through the grassland and taking a detour all the way to Dunhuang.

If they go directly through Liangzhou, although this road is the shortest and the one they are most familiar with, it is also the easiest way to get into the middle of an enemy army of more than 200,000.

Therefore, Meng Tian decided not to take the usual route and take a detour through the grassland.

Although this road requires a lot of detours and a long detour, Temujin mobilized all the power of the Yuan Dynasty and marched south. The grassland at this time was much safer than before!

Furthermore, Meng Tian sent out generals this time, including Dou Xian, who had previous experience in the grasslands, and Ma Yuan, who was born in Liangzhou, hoping to bring a tiny advantage to this dangerous journey.

Moreover, in order to increase the strength of this support force as much as possible with limited manpower, Meng Tian directly sent Zhang Kui, a fierce general among the Hezhou reinforcements.

The Liangzhou Army is still very powerful.

It has three god-level generals. Although it does not have an advantage in quantity, among the four border states, the three god-level generals of the Liangzhou Army have a considerable advantage in quality.

The three god-level generals of the Liangzhou Army include not only Shi Gan Dang, the top senior god-level general, but also the remaining two generals Jia Fu and Ju Xie, who are not easy to deal with. One is a god-level general with 107 basic martial arts strength, and the other is a rare female hero.

The only regret is that among the three mighty generals of Liangzhou Army, Jia Fu fell into Temujin's trap and is now in Temujin's hands, with his life or death unknown.

The last time he appeared, he was used as a shield by Temujin to threaten Meng Tian!

The members of the Floating House in Liangzhou had been trying to find ways to rescue the captured Jia Fu, Wang Xiaojie and others. However, Temujin's guards were very strict. Not only did they fail to rescue Jia Fu and others after several rescue attempts, but the members of the Floating House in Liangzhou suffered heavy losses and even lost several hidden players.

As for the remaining Shi Gan Dang and Ju Xie, Meng Tian’s front line also needed them, so the reinforcements could only be sent from Zhang Kui of Hezhou and Yang Zaixing of Bingzhou.
