Lord of the Gaming World Chapter 575: Huo Qubing
A cavalry marched south from the Altai Mountains. All the cavalry's armor was stained with blood and traces of swords. The battle flag of the Protectorate of the Western Regions was damaged, and everyone looked tired.
Huo Qubing's armor was covered with spider web-like cracks.
Huo Qubing's deputy general Zhao Ponu was even more seriously injured, with gauze wrapped around his shoulders, stained red with blood.
Li Siye, the Tang general of the Parthian Army, holds the Modao, and behind him is an elite Tang Modao team.
Mo Dao Team is a high-level heavy infantry.
Li Siye's Modao team had about 2,000 people. After the battle in the Altai Mountains, there were only 700 people left.
Wang Xuance, a civil servant who served as Huo An's master bookkeeper, as a military advisor to Huo Qubing, Zhao Ponu, Li Siye and others, assisted Huo Qubing, Zhao Ponu, Li Siye and others to retreat.
Besides Wang Xuance, there was also a group of Tubo cavalry, which was the cavalry Huo An asked the lord of Tubo to recruit in Tubo.
Wang Xuance was a diplomat in the Tang Dynasty. He dispatched Tubo soldiers and Nibal soldiers to defeat the Tianzhu kingdom in India. His ability was somewhat similar to that of "Tian Khan", which had a strengthening effect on the servant army.
The main ability of Tian Khan's characteristics is not to strengthen the servant army, but to increase the loyalty of the servant army, and Wang Xuance's ability is mainly to strengthen the servant army, so in terms of the strengthening effect, Wang Xuance's ability to strengthen the servant army is even better. .
Huo Qubing's army had been fighting with Subutai for a long time, but after holding on to Subutai, he learned that Luntai was besieged, and it was of little significance to continue fighting with Subutai, so he returned to the division to support Luntai.
In this way, it is quite troublesome for them to avoid the eyes and ears of Subutai.
Tanmachi owns a war eagle, among which Subutai has a small team of Tanmachi cavalry, Wang Xuance, Huo Qubing and others want to get rid of Subutai, but it is not easy, and they will be noticed by the war eagle.
Wang Xuance and the generals made a detour in the Junggar Basin, going out during the day and night, and only then did they get rid of Subutai, who was chasing them.
"I hope you are all safe and sound."
Wang Xuance patted off the dust on his shirt.
He has not rested for half a month. The armor, battle robe, and scabbard are all the gravel attached to them.
Wang Xuance's eyes were bloodshot.
Relying only on the strength of the Protectorate of the Western Regions, it is too difficult to face the forces of the Mongol Empire and the two Khanates.
The place where the Okuotai Khanate and the Chagatai Khanate descended was within the sphere of influence of Huo An, and some tribes and kingdoms pledged allegiance to the two khanates, which invisibly weakened Huo An's power and made Huo An's influence on Huo An. As far as Ann is concerned, it is quite a loss.
"Grudge..."
Wang Xuance leaned against a sand dune and vomited violently because he could not bear the long battle.
Huo Qubing, Zhao Ponu, Li Siye and other generals waited patiently for the master.
Wang Xuance, in his capacity as a civil official, fought with the legion and fought with Subutai repeatedly, which is quite rare among all civil servants.
Wang Xuance is somewhat similar to Chen Qingzhi, Yu Yunwen and others. Although he does not have the military power of a general, he has the ability to command troops and horses to fight, which is also a miracle...
Wang Xuance sat on the ground and rested for a while. After recovering, he said to Huo Qubing and other generals in the Protectorate of the Western Regions: "If I want to go back to Shiluntai and relieve the Protector, I can pass through Che Shiguo. The country should still be in the hands of the eldest lady."
"We can also go to the country of Cheshi for supplies, and get food, water, arrows, swords, and armor. The arrows in our quiver have been used up, the sword has been rolled, the armor has been broken, and the war horse has lost fat. ."
"Can the eldest miss really hold the Che Shiguo?"
Huo Qubing and other military generals of the Western Regions Protectorate directly address Huo Qing as the eldest miss. As the younger sister of the Greatest Protector Huo An, she does have a special position in the Western Regions Protectorate.
However, Huo Qing's ability is relatively average. Huo Qubing does not think that Huo Qing can defend the Cheshi Kingdom under the offensive of the Mongolian Empire, unless...
"Unless reinforcements arrive in Guannei, the Cheshi Kingdom can be held. If the princes in Guannei have the foresight, they will not continue to be busy with infighting... At least, the princes in the north will not be infighting, they will face the greatest pressure. We should go. Otherwise, Tan Machi's war eagle will catch up again."
Wang Xuance was a little uneasy.
The Huo Qubing Corps is located in the Junggar Basin, and there may be enemies in all directions.
When Wang Xuance, Huo Qubing and others left, the red cavalry troopers appeared to check the hoof prints and foot prints of the infantry around.
Subutai, one of the four mastiffs, arrived on a war horse and looked in the direction of Cheshiguo: "Huo Qubing and others must pass through Cheshiguo and Yanqi if they want to return to Luntai. The Great Khan has occupied Yanqi. Luntai is surrounded. I don’t know if the Great Khan has captured Che Shiguo. There is no teleportation formation in Che Shiguo, so I shouldn’t be in a hurry to take it.”
Subutai had been fighting Huo Qubing's army for many days in the wild, but he didn't realize that Che Shiguo had opened a teleportation formation. Temujin's offensive against Cheshiguo failed.
In the current situation, Subutai is at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, Temujin, Okuotai, and Yelu Dashi are at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, while the Han army controls the Cheshi Kingdom, which is a stronghold, and receives supplies from within the pass.
Originally, Temujin, Subutai and others believed that the Cheshi Kingdom had no teleportation formation, so they concentrated their forces to besiege Luntai and capture the Yanqi Kingdom and other places, and then Temujin and Subutai joined forces to surround the Cheshi Kingdom, which could easily be captured. .
The royal city of Cheshi Kingdom was directly upgraded from a medium-sized city to a large city, and the teleportation formation was opened. The expeditionary army of the Han Empire arrived, so that Temujin and Subutai were caught off guard.
Now the forces of the two sides are intertwined, and the Han Empire Expeditionary Force has separated the forces of Temujin and Subutai.
"Let's go, attack the country of Cheshi!"
Subutai is still in accordance with the plan, marching to the country of Cheshi.
According to the agreement with Temujin, the two sides will be divisions of the Cheshiguo.
…
Che Shiguojiao Hecheng (Wangcheng), Qin Liangyu, who arrived, held a long spear and fought with Hua Mulan on the school ground. The two of them each used a red tassel with a cut off the gun blade. The battle lasted for hundreds of rounds, dripping with sweat. , regardless of the outcome.
The expeditionary force of the Han Empire was still assembling. After everyone defeated Temujin, Temujin could not cut off the teleportation formation of Cheshi Kingdom, and could only retreat to Yanqi Kingdom to rest.
Tiemuzhen suffered great losses. The Qianxue army lost more than a thousand men, the Tanmachi, Zhongxiao and Helihe troops lost thousands, and the rest of the cavalry lost tens of thousands.
These cavalry were not servants, but Temujin's battle-hardened Mobei soldiers. Every time a cavalry was lost, Temujin could not bear it.
In particular, Bo Erhu, one of the four timid generals, was kind to Temujin, but died unexpectedly. The Qi Xue army can still be recruited, but the generals of the Qi Xue army cannot be recruited. Bolhu has only one.
Temujin is like a wounded wolf, licking his wounds.
"Le Yi, the last general, has seen the lord."
Le Yi arrives with Le Jin and Zhou Cang, and Ju Yi joins Le Yi's army again to strengthen the siege ability of Le Yi's offensive army.
The Leyi Legion has finally arrived!
With Le Yi's ability, he is enough to stand on his own, and his offensive army is also quite capable of trapping.
Cao Ren and Man Chong's Iron Wall Army followed.
The 500,000-strong expedition assembles.
Because of the battle of Cheshiguo, some troops were lost, but the actual strength was less than 500,000.
In addition, Chutian considered keeping part of its troops in the country of Cheshi to protect the teleportation formation and reduce the supply pressure at the same time.
The Iron Wall Corps is responsible for staying in the Cheshi Kingdom.
"A cavalry from the north!"
After Che Shiguo repelled Temujin, he panicked again.
Many defenders climbed the city walls, nervously preparing to meet the incoming cavalry from the north.
Chutian was also on the city wall. He could see the north of Cheshiguo, and there was indeed a cavalry coming.
"No, it's the banner of the Protectorate of the Western Regions! It should be Huo Qubing's cavalry!"
Huo Qing recognized the flag of the Protectorate of the Western Regions at a glance, and everyone felt at ease.
"Huo Qubing..."
Chutian knew that Huo An got Huo Qubing after the Battle of Mobei. Later, Huo Qubing confronted Subutai in the Western Regions for a long time, and rarely appeared.
If it wasn't for Huo Qubing to block Subutai's offensive, perhaps the situation in the Protectorate of the Western Regions would be even more critical than it is now.
Just in case, the gates of Che Shi Kingdom are still closed.
When generals such as Huo Qubing, Wang Xuance, Zhao Ponu, and Li Siye came to the city, none of them had complete armor.
"This is the banner of the feudal lords in Guannei. It seems that not only did the Cheshi Kingdom not fall, but our reinforcements have arrived."
Wang Xuance noticed the flags on the city wall of Cheshi Kingdom. In addition to the flags of the Protectorate of the Western Regions, there were also different flags from the princes of Guannei.
"With these reinforcements, we can defeat the enemy who entered the Protectorate of the Western Regions."
Huo Qubing and a group of soldiers from the Protectorate of the Western Regions entered the Cheshi King City.
When they saw Huo Qing, they reported the loss to him: "A total of 100,000 people attacked the Altai Mountains, 40,000 of them were killed in action, 20,000 were scattered along the way, and 40,000 survived."
"Only 40,000 people came back..."
Huo Qing could imagine how tragic the battle to attack the Altai Mountains was.
Huo Qubing and others paid a huge price for Huo An to contain the Subutai Corps stationed in the Altai Mountains, with 40% killed and 20% fleeing.
"It makes people prepare forage and camp."
Huo Qing immediately arranged to go and clean up the surviving generals of the Western Regions Protector's Mansion for Huo Qubing.
The military strength of the Western Regions Protectorate is also quite strong, with about 300,000 to 400,000 people, some of which are used to guard various places. After the war with the Mongol Empire and the two major Khanates, the casualties of the Western Regions Protectorate Legion were straight. Rising, it is estimated that there are only more than 100,000 main troops left.
When Chutian saw Huo Qubing, Huo Qubing should be in his early twenties at this time, a general of the younger generation.
Huo Qubing went through the days of fighting with Subutai, not only did he not get tired, but he became more majestic and has the shadow of a generation of famous generals.
Huo Qubing's lieutenant was Zhao Ponu, a rather heroic general.
Apart from Huo Qubing and Zhao Ponu, there is a burly military general standing with a sword in his hand. His bronze upper body is heavily scarred.
A relatively thin literati bowed to Chu Tian and other lords from Guannei: "This time, I have to rely on all the adults to save the siege of Luntai City. Under Wang Xuance, I am willing to help you."
Wang Xuance put himself in the position of support, and raised the status of Chutian and other princes, so as not to overwhelm guests, let the princes in Guan actively go to save Luntai City.
"With the strength of the Protectorate of the Western Regions, we can make up 400,000 troops to expedition to Luntai."
Chutian lost a group of troops and horses in the battle with Tiemuzhen, and he had to leave a part of his troops to defend the country. He was worried that the troops would not be enough, but Huo Qubing and others' 40,000 troops came to meet, then Troops were replenished.
Huo Qubing, a cavalry-based force, is not an ordinary unit, but an elite division who has fought with Subutai for a long time and has experienced hundreds of battles.
Huo Qubing also had a small team of ninth-order hussars beside him.
Li Siye, Zhao Ponu and others are also very conspicuous.
In particular, Wang Xuance, who is a civil official, actually mixed with Huo Qubing, Li Siye and others, and gained the trust of Huo Qubing and others.
"Then, everyone, let's prepare to enter Luntai City."
The first batch of the Han Empire's expeditionary force has been prepared, and all the troops and horses are ready to go. The princes of the Han Empire are confident to relieve the siege of Luntai City.
The defenders in Luntai City were also a force to be reckoned with. Although Huo An was defeated, he was not completely wiped out.
If it weren't for the fact that there was a Yelu Dashi beside Wo Kuotai who made a plan for it, perhaps Huo An could lead the cavalry to return to Luntai City safely after burning down Yemili City.
"Please give us three days to resupply."
Wang Xuance believed that the 40,000 people in the Protectorate of the Western Regions were too overworked, all kinds of armaments were exhausted, and supplies were urgently needed.
The time for the expedition round is set in three days.
The Subutai Legion chased Huo Qubing and others to Che Shiguo~IndoMTL.com~ broke through a small town in Cheshiguo to get supplies, only to find that Cheshiguo was still under the control of the Protectorate of the Western Regions. Temujin's attack on the Protectorate of the Western Regions failed.
"The expeditionary force of the Han Empire has arrived in Cheshiguo... Damn, Cheshiguo has actually opened a teleportation array, so the supply pressure of the Han Empire is much less!"
Su Butai dismounted and looked in the direction of Jiaohe City, hesitant.
The fact that Che Shiguo opened the teleportation array was indeed beyond his expectations.
Originally, Subutai and Temujin agreed to capture the Cheshi Kingdom easily. However, Che Shiguo opened the teleportation array, completely disrupting their deployment.
A Mongolian general said to Subutai: "Father, should we attack the country of Cheshi and avenge the Great Khan?"
"Even if the Great Khan personally attacked the Cheshi Kingdom, it would end in failure. There may be hundreds of thousands of Han troops in the current Cheshi Kingdom, so we can't..."
Subutai knew how terrifying Tiemuzhen was when he was afraid of Xue Jun.
Even if Temujin, who has Qi Xue Jun, Zhongxiao Jun, and Tan Ma Chi all loses, he has a very small chance of succeeding if he does not go to the stage to attack.
"So what should we do?"
"Wu Liang and Taiwan, what are our advantages?"
"We can make long-distance raids and plunder the villages and towns along the way, and the supply is not as difficult as the Han army."
"So we have to follow the expeditionary army of the Han Empire. They assembled their troops in Cheshi Country and will definitely go to rescue Luntai City. That's our chance. We will rest in Cheshi Country for the time being. "
Subutai's eyes were deep, and he was ready to attack the expedition from behind.
