Lord of the Gaming World Chapter 577: Expedition Wheel Station
Cha Shiguo, the Han Empire's expeditionary army is ready to go, leaving 100,000 guards in the country!
The Protectorate of the Western Regions and the Reinforcement Army in the South, with about 70,000 soldiers, formed a 400,000-strong expeditionary force with the expeditionary force of the Han Empire, known as the 800,000-strong army, to support Luntai City!
The expedition troops from Guannei included Chutian's Guards Corps, Le Yi's Offensive Corps, Jiji Lao Qin's Guanzhong Corps, and Xu Fengnian's Xiliang Remnants.
The Protectorate of the Western Regions dispatched Huo Qubing, Zhao Ponu, Li Siye, and Wang Xuance, with Miss Huo Qing as the nominal chief general, Huo Qubing as the deputy general, and raised 40,000 troops.
The Nanzhong reinforcements, with Mu Ke as the nominal main general and Qin Liangyu as the deputy general, raised 30,000 troops and possessed 20 iron armored war elephants.
The Iron Wall Corps and the Servant Army of Cheshiguo stayed behind in Cheshiguo.
Huo Qing gave Cao Ren and Man Chong the power to kill any nobles of Che Shiguo and act cheaply, so that the nobles of Cheshiguo did not dare to act rashly.
On the expedition of 400,000 people, in addition to the war horses and camels brought by the princes of the Han Empire from Guannei, Huo Qing and Wang Xuance looted the workhorses and camels of the Cheshi Kingdom, all of which were used to transport food, grass and arrows.
The 400,000-strong army is enormous.
In fact, the distance between Cheshiguo and Luntai City is not too far away, otherwise the number of workhorses and camels to be used would be even more exaggerated.
Chu Tian and others could not imagine how the Han Empire would rescue Luntai, which was attacked by Temujin, without the teleportation formation of Che Shiguo.
Just the supplies needed for the Thousand Mile Expedition is not something that ordinary empires can afford.
The two-meter-tall camels carry bundles of arrows, forming a mighty long dragon.
The arrows consumed by the 400,000 army are more than one million, and the camels needed are tens of thousands.
The Huo Qubing Corps replaced new weapons and armors in Cheshi Country, and the materials Huo An hoarded played a role, allowing the remnants of the Western Regions Protectorate to still have combat effectiveness.
Huo Qubing, as a general of the Western Regions Protectorate, volunteered to lead the army of the Western Regions Protectorate and clear the way for the expeditionary army of the Han Empire.
The imperial hussars, the Tubo cavalry, the Tang Modao team, and the servant army of the Thirty-six Kingdoms, led by Huo Qubing, set out first.
Unlike ordinary people's imagination, the army of 400,000 marches together, and the army of 400,000 cannot be crowded together to march...
The larger the regiment, the more often it is necessary to march in separate divisions. If there are multiple roads, you can divide your troops to advance in parallel; if there is only one road, then you must divide them into vanguard, middle and rear troops, and gather in designated cities or plains ahead.
From the country of Cheshi to the country of Luntai, it has to pass through the Gobi, the river, the foothills, and the edge of the desert. Even if you want to separate troops, there are not so many suitable roads. March along the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains.
Fortunately, there are many rivers and lakes at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, and the conditions are not particularly bad.
Many cities in the Western Regions are located beside the rivers and lakes in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains.
"I lead the Guanzhong army, as the rear army, the defense is not fast."
The scouts of the Han Empire discovered the Subutai Corps trailing in the rear, so Jiujiu Lao Qin took the initiative to undertake the task of the rear army.
Subutai's cavalry pursued Huo Qubing until they reached Cheshiguo, trying to follow the expeditionary force of the Han Empire and launched an assault at a critical moment.
The princes of the Han Empire were not good at it either. After inferring Subutai's intentions, they took precautions.
As a result, the army of the Protectorate of the Western Regions was the vanguard, Chu Tian, Mu Ke, and Xu Fengnian were the middle army, and Lao Qin was the rear army.
The war eagles of the Iron Eagle Scouts hovered in the air, and a bird's-eye view from the sky down. A mighty expeditionary force was marching along the southern foot of the towering Tianshan Mountains to Luntai City, which was besieged by Mongolian cavalry. march.
The battle flag of the Han Empire rang with the gust of wind, the yellow sand fluttered, and the golden armor of a hundred battles was an unprecedented expedition!
This expedition is for the strategy of the Han Empire.
Losing the Western Regions will shrink the territory of the Han Empire, and even the Western Regions and Central Asia will become the fog of war, threatening the Hexi Corridor and Guanlong.
The war eagle flew eastward, passing over the head of the Guanzhong Corps of Jiujiu Lao Qin, and behind it, the cavalry of Subutai. The cavalry of Subutai spread all over the mountains and fields, and the number was more than 100,000.
The Mongol Empire migrated to the Western Regions with a population of 2 million, and Subutai selected warriors from them and formed a cavalry force of more than 100,000 people to pursue Huo Qubing.
More than 100,000 cavalrymen drove cattle and sheep, broke through villages and towns along the way, and obtained supplies, but they did not have as much supply pressure as the expeditionary army of the Han Empire.
The cavalry of Subutai bypassed the city of Cheshi Kingdom and followed the expeditionary force of the Han Empire.
Tanmachi's war eagle is also flying in the air, and the war eagle of the iron eagle scout is not pleasing to each other's eyes, and they fight in the air, black feathers are scattered.
Subutai catches a glimpse of the two war eagles fighting.
As special light cavalry, Tan Ma Chi and Iron Eagle Scouts have the special reconnaissance method of war eagle.
When he saw the war eagles of the Iron Eagle Scouts, Subutai knew that his cavalry had been detected by the Han Empire. But Speedy doesn't care.
It is basically impossible for a cavalry of more than 100,000 people to remain undetected.
The war eagle of the Iron Eagle scout seemed to have the upper hand, defeating the war eagle of Tan Ma Chi, forcing the war eagle of Tan Ma Chi to fall and seek the protection of its master.
Subutai's son Wuliang Hetai took down the Mongolian bow behind him and tried to shoot the eagle.
The war eagle of the Iron Eagle Scout saw that the situation was not good, so he immediately left the place and caught up with the Han army.
The circling war eagle swept down and landed on Mulan's arm. Hua Mulan stroked the war eagle's wings.
This war eagle has served her for several years, and is also the eagle king among the war eagles owned by the Iron Eagle Scout Cavalry.
"My lord, the cavalry of Subutai, as expected, bypassed Cheshiguo and followed us."
Hua Mulan obtained information about Subutai from War Eagle and immediately reported it to Chutian.
"We have already discovered the trace of Subutai. Even if he follows, it is a matter of course. Don't worry about it, Lao Qin can block him."
Chutian didn't make a fuss after learning about the movement of the Subutai Army.
The Subutai Legion had his intentions, but not enough to frighten the princes of the Han Empire.
Ji Jiu Lao Qin's Guanzhong army of 150,000, including the five schools of the Northern Army led by Zhu Jun, is not so easy to deal with.
In this expedition to Luntai, the generals and troops mobilized by the Han Empire can be said to be very luxurious. No matter the former army, the middle army or the rear army, there are a group of famous generals and elite legions.
"However, this news is still given to Jiujiu Lao Qin, let him be extra careful and pay attention to investigation. The weather in the Western Regions is changeable, and the temperature difference between day and night is huge. If you are not careful, you might be defeated by Subutai. "
Chu Tian ordered the Iron Eagle scouts to inform Jiujiu Lao Qin about the movements of the Subutai Corps.
The existence of the Subutai Corps poses the greatest threat to Jiujiu Lao Qin as the rear army.
Joan of Arc holds a holy flag and follows Chutian around.
Joan of Arc's motivating ability and fanaticism ability have greatly improved for Chutian's legion.
Originally, Chutian planned to arrange Joan of Arc in Che Shiguo, and even returned to Xiacheng to take care of her, but she insisted on participating in the expedition, and Chutian complied.
But Joan of Arc's current state is not suitable for charging into battle, so Chutian can only take it with him. Similar to Sun Bin's role, it provides assistance to Chutian's legion and maximizes Chutian's cavalry.
Mu Ke's South China Army Corps is also a part of the Central Army.
Mu Ke was very anxious about supporting Luntai City, but she couldn't.
Twenty tall war elephants form a copper wall and an iron wall. There is a wooden tower on the back of the war elephant, and there are spearmen and archers on it to attack the enemy.
The Iron Armored War Elephant is a special ninth-order unit, and if used well, it can produce unexpected results.
A group of rattan soldiers marched on foot, led by Wu Tugu.
The stature of the thornbone is too large to have a suitable warhorse.
Alternatively, Wutugu can ride a war elephant and treat the war elephant as a warhorse...
Qin Liangyu is relatively calm. She is commanded by her white pole soldiers, which are high-level mountain infantry.
Chu Tian has a mountain army under his command - Zhang Yan's Montenegrin army.
However, Zhang Yan's Montenegrin army was obviously inferior to Qin Liangyu's white pole soldiers.
Qin Liangyu's white pole soldiers can even fight hand-to-hand with the Eight Banners cavalry on the plains, which shows the strength of the white pole soldiers!
If Qin Liangyu is included in the Montenegro Corps, the mountain combat capability of the Montenegro Corps will be greatly enhanced.
Huo An and Mu Ke, the two lords, have one or two military generals at the bottom of the box. If they are incorporated into their own forces, then Huo Qubing and Qin Liangyu are their own...
In order to win the famous general ~IndoMTL.com~, Chu Tian didn't even mind naming Huo An and Mu Ke as prefects.
About the Western Regions and the Southern Barbarians without bloodshed, the savings in gold and silver are calculated in tens of millions, and there are also fierce generals and elite legions to take refuge in. What are the positions of the two prefects?
Now is not the best time to include Huo An and Mu Ke.
Huo An and Mu Ke joined forces, and their troops were quite strong.
This is the terrible thing about political marriage. When a lord marries another lord, his power can be multiplied. When a lord is in trouble, another lord may come to the rescue.
Xu Fengnian's Guanzhong army has only a small amount of remnants left, and he is still an army of his own.
In the rear of the Han Empire's expeditionary army, the 150,000-strong army of the old Qin stretched for hundreds of miles.
The 150,000-strong army in Guanzhong used thousands of carriages. Lao Qin's Guanzhong economy can still withstand such consumption.
After Jiujiu Lao Qin was defeated by Wang Jian's Qin Ruishi, he was always on guard against the Subutai Army.
Old Qin seemed to be unable to withstand the climate of the Western Regions, so he had to dress up as a local in the Western Regions to avoid sandstorms.
Wang Jian took the sword and landed at the back, but he did not complain at all, but patiently commanded Qin Ruishi's army to advance.
"Isn't it fast? If you have a chance, you should see if your Mongolian cavalry is sharp or my Qin Ruishi is strong."
Wang Jian learned that the cavalry of Subutai was following the expeditionary force of the Han Empire, and their fighting spirit was high.
It is said that Subutai is one of the best generals under Temujin's account.
But he, Wang Jian, was also the highest commander-in-chief of Jiujiu Lao Qin.
