Lord of the Gaming World Chapter 613: The Han army crossing the Tianshan Mountains
Ili Valley, Alimali, and Temujin received bad news one after another.
"There was a heavy snow in Mobei, and hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep were frozen to death. From Monan to the Zhebei tribe in Mobei, tens of thousands of people were frozen to death."
"The Golden Horde was attacked by the Eastern European Steppe Coalition Army. The Eastern European Steppe Coalition Army numbered about 150,000!"
"The Persian coalition attacked the Ilkhanate on a massive scale, known as a 500,000-strong army!"
"The Seljuk sultan returned to the royal city and desperately defended it. The cavalry of Mongke, Okuotai, and Timur were occupying all the cities of the Seljuk Empire."
"Let Wo Kuotai and Meng Ge not attack every city, but only capture large cities with teleportation formations and cities that can get supplies."
"Great Khan, the Subutai tribe north of the Tianshan Mountains is being attacked by unidentified Han army cavalry. Lord Subutai is fighting with them, causing an avalanche. The battle and avalanche have resulted in the death of tens of thousands of cavalry!"
"The expeditionary force of the Han Empire in Luntai City is missing!"
The news from all over the place reached Temujin in Alimali.
The territory of the three Khanates overlaps with the spheres of influence of the five major civilizations, and at the same time poses a threat to the five major civilizations, so the five major civilizations want to get rid of them quickly.
What alarmed Temujin most was the disappearance of the Han Empire Expeditionary Force.
The expeditionary force of the Han Empire stationed in Luntai City still did not return to the customs. At this time, they suddenly disappeared. The target may be the Chagatai Khanate.
The Han Empire has wiped out the Ogotai Khanate, and the Chagatai Khanate may be their next target.
"Ling Zhebie led 100,000 cavalry from Mobei to Alimali."
Temujin couldn't help but worry about the purpose of the Han Empire's expeditionary force.
He and Chagatai lost nearly half of their forces in the battle of Luntai, and needed a batch of supplies.
"Also, try to move a group of people to Central Asia. Mobei can't feed so many people. If they stay in Mobei, they will starve to death next year."
"Professional sweat, need to brave the cold winter to migrate them here?"
"Mobei is no longer so safe. Disperse the population to four places. Chagatai, you will find that it is the best choice for our tribe. Assemble troops from all over the world, come to Alimali, and disappear. The expeditionary force of the Han Empire is here.”
Chagatai showed an expression of disbelief: "The expeditionary forces of the Han Empire, they dare to cross the Tianshan Mountains and attack Alimali?"
"Don't underestimate them. Subutai has already encountered a crisis, Mu Huali, go and help Subutai against Wei Qing and Huo Qubing. If you can't win, move the population to the Chagatai Khanate, where the Tianshan Mountains are North, it's not safe anymore."
Temujin had a strong premonition.
Among the four cowards, Mu Huali, the most capable of commanding the army, was ordered by Temujin to lead his cavalry to support Subutai.
"Chagatai, strengthen the patrols of various mountain roads in the Tianshan Mountains, and report the traces of the Han Empire's expeditionary forces immediately."
"The possible passages for the expeditionary forces of the Han Empire include Xia Te Dao, Wusun Dao, Qiuci Dao, Tianshan North Dao..."
Chagatai spreads out a parchment map. On this parchment map, various ancient roads of the Tianshan Mountains are marked, crisscrossed.
The Tianshan Mountains are extremely steep, but there are still some mountain roads in these interlaced mountains, which can be marched.
"Wei Qing and Huo Qubing who attacked Subutai were on the Northern Tianshan Road, so the expeditionary forces of the Han Empire might stagger away from them and follow the Wusun Road."
Temujin moved his finger over Wusundao.
The wind is howling, Wu Sundao, the Han Empire's expeditionary force is forcibly crossing the Tianshan Mountains.
Along the Wusun Road, you can also see the disrepaired garrison and beacon towers.
In order to unite the Wusun Kingdom and deal with the Xiongnu, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty established garrison and beacon towers with Xia Te Dao and Wusun Dao as the main military routes.
Originally these fortresses had been abandoned, but Huo An served as the Protector of the Western Regions. He needed to control the Ili River Valley, Tarim Basin, Junggar Basin, Dawan Kingdom and other places at the same time, and repaired these fortifications. supply point.
"It is hard to imagine that in the Han Dynasty, such a channel was already opened. Under such a harsh environment...the wisdom and courage of the ancients must be admirable."
Xu Fengnian led the warhorse, and the expeditionary force of the Han Empire had reached the end of the Wusun Road and was about to enter the Ili River Valley.
"The area of the "Lord" has expanded, and the width of Wusundao has also increased. Otherwise, it will be more difficult to march, let alone pass 110,000 soldiers and horses. As long as you occupy Alimali, restore Luntai and Alimali. Teleportation formation, we don't have to go over the Tianshan Mountains in the future. If it hadn't been forcibly occupied by Alimali by the Chagatai Khanate, why would we have to work so hard?"
Huo An was also a little tired.
In order to attack the Chagatai Khanate, the 110,000-strong expeditionary army of the Han Empire used the most primitive foot march and forcibly crossed the Tianshan Mountains!
The 110,000-strong expedition force was commanded by some generals with the characteristics of forced marching and mountain marching to speed up the march.
For example, Tang general Gao Xianzhi has a great bonus to the army's mountain march, which can increase the marching speed and reduce non-combat casualties.
"Although it is dangerous, in order to destroy the Chagatai Khanate and recover Alimali..." Xu Fengnian gasped, "There seems to be someone in Chu Zimou who is sick..."
Chutian sent the largest expedition force, with 50,000 people. Because Chutian has the feature of "sealing the wolf to live in the house", it can also reduce the negative effects of unfavorable terrain, so the expedition has only lost hundreds of people. .
But Chu Tian was in a bad mood at this time, because Xia Liang was sick.
Among the girls, Xia Liang had the weakest physique and could not bear the difficult mountain march.
At this time, it is very fatal.
"Put me down..."
Xia Liang was in a daze, and found that Chu Tian was carrying her on his back, marching on the mountain road, and his cheeks were hot.
"According to Huo An's inference, we can leave Wusundao in about two or three days. No matter what, you can't die."
Chutian's force is not difficult to march alone, but Chutian didn't think that his force would be used in this place.
"Hmm."
Xia Xian Liang leaned on Chu Tian's back and fell asleep again in a daze.
"Is Miss Xia all right?"
Huo Qing and Hua Mulan led the war horse and walked in the back, a little worried.
Obviously, Chutian attaches great importance to Miss Xia. If something happens to her while crossing the Tianshan Mountains, even if Alimali is captured, Chutian thinks that this expedition is a huge failure.
"Sister Xia, there should be no accident..."
Mulan is also a little worried.
The Han army rested at the last garrison in Wusundao.
There are only thirty Han soldiers in the garrison, allegiance to Huo An, the protector of the Western Regions, guarding Wusun Dao for Huo An, and becoming the night watchman in the Tianshan Mountains.
But when they saw the arrival of Huo An, the guardian of the Western Regions, they burst into tears.
They thought that the cities in the Western Regions had been captured by the Chagatai Khanate.
The Han army was able to rest here.
There was not much space in the fort. Considering that Chu Tian's eldest wife was sick, Huo An voluntarily gave up the fort.
In summer, I still have a high fever and don't wake up.
"If you march further, you will enter the Ili River Valley, and then march for seven or eight hundred miles, and you will reach Alimali. The next journey is relatively easy."
Huo An pointed to the rudimentary map.
"I don't want to do this again in the future."
Jijiu Lao Qin's situation is not very good, and crossing the Tianshan Mountains is also a torture for Jiji Lao Qin.
"As long as Alimari is back in our hands and there is a teleportation formation in the future, we can directly gather troops in Alimari City and then attack Central Asia."
"Originally, I planned to use Wusun and Dawan as strongholds, split the army into two, and occupy the whole of Central Asia. Now Wusun is under the control of Chagatai, and Dawan, I don't know what the situation is. Said It may be that the Yuezhi, that is, the Kushan Empire, will occupy the Dawan Kingdom. In the future, if the Dawan Kingdom is reconquered, a war will break out with the Kushan Empire..."
Huo An also had a headache.
"How is the situation on Chu Zimou's side?"
"It's probably not very good, his eldest wife can't be in trouble..."
When Xu Fengnian and Huo An mentioned this, they were also a little worried.
The Shenji Camp, which is cool in summer, still has a big role in this expedition.
Moreover, if something happens, it will be a huge blow to Chutian.
Li Xiuning put one hand on the hilt of the sword and looked at the Tianshan Mountains covered by heavy snow with a heavy heart.
She has been in a relationship with Xia Xian Liang for several years, and she doesn't want her to have an accident, but this time...
The Han army rested overnight in the last garrison, and continued on the expedition. The expedition would not be delayed because one person was ill.
Right now, the 110,000-strong Han army is in the middle of the Tianshan Mountains, and there is no teleportation formation nearby. An extra day's delay means less food and grass and must pass through Wusundao as soon as possible.
…
In the Ili River Valley, Chagatai deployed a large number of scouts and cavalry to patrol at Wusundao, Xatedao and other Quekou to prevent the Han Empire's expeditionary forces from attacking ~IndoMTL.com~ Although in Chagatai's view, the Han army chose It is unimaginable to cross the Tianshan Mountains in the cold winter, but still be careful.
A Mongolian household led cavalry to rest in a village below the Tianshan Mountains.
"The Han army, the battle flag of the Han army!"
"They actually dare to march in the cold winter?!"
"Go to Alimari immediately and inform the Great Khan!"
The Hundred Households of the Chagatai Khanate hurriedly summoned their cavalry to investigate!
In the gap at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, a Han army infantry appeared first and attacked the garrison garrisoned by the Mongolian cavalry!
Le Jin and Ju Yi lead the deadly attack!
The expeditionary force of the Han Empire knew that if they did not gain a firm foothold here as soon as possible, they would all freeze to death in the Wusun Road!
Le Jin and Ju Yi risked their lives, and under the cover of the strong crossbow of the dead men, they and a team of Yanjia broke through the fortress and expelled the defenders inside!
The Han army has cleared the way out of the mountains!
For a time, the news of the Han Empire's expeditionary forces appearing in the Ili River Valley spread throughout the Chagatai Khanate!
The expeditionary force stationed at Luntai actually crossed the Tianshan Mountains and hit the Chagatai Khanate!
The Chagatai Khanate invaded the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains where the Protectorate of the Western Regions is located, and this time, the Protectorate of the Western Regions and the expeditionary army from Guannei retaliated and invaded the Chagatai Khanate!
