Lord of the Gaming World Chapter 584: Temujin and Chagatai coalition forces
All the expedition troops assembled in Yanqi country, recovered their physical strength, filled the water bag with clean water, and set foot on the expedition wheel platform again.
This time, Chutian left a part of the Leyi Army behind, and then used Yanqi's teleportation formation to dispatch Wu Ziliang from Jizhou to Yanqi to lead this part of the army and defend Yanqi.
At present, the Han Empire Expeditionary Force controls Cheshi Country and Yanqi Country, and has a total of two teleportation formations, and the Han Empire Expeditionary Force receives a steady stream of supplies.
Without the Teleportation Array, the expedition would be more difficult to move.
Divided troops to support Luntai City for Xu Fengnian, and left part of the troops to defend the country of Yanqi. In addition to the soldiers and horses that had been lost in small-scale battles with Temujin and Subutai, the 400,000 expedition force became 300,000. Expedition.
Although the scale of the expeditionary army has been reduced, the defense of Luntai City is stronger, and the expeditionary army can obtain the retreat route of Yanqi Kingdom and Cheshi Kingdom, which is considered more secure.
"Golden Armor in a Hundred Battles in Yellow Sand..."
Chutian found that the durability of his armor had actually lost some of it.
Chu Tian himself did not go into battle to kill the enemy himself, and the durability of the equipment was partially consumed by the yellow sand.
Sure enough, the Yellow Sand Hundred Battles can really wear golden armor.
"Sister Joan of Arc is becoming more and more obvious... After the recapture of Luntai City, she can no longer be allowed to fight."
Xia Xia Liang and Hua Mulan found out that Joan of Arc had a child and were on an expedition at this time, so it was not safe.
Chu Tian nodded, and there was nothing he could do about Joan of Arc taking the initiative to follow her.
And the Han Empire Expeditionary Force needs some of her abilities.
Even a 1% bonus might turn the tide of the battle at a critical moment.
Huo Qing rode over and said to Chu Tian: "Between Yanqi State and Luntai City, near the Taklimakan Desert, according to past practice, maybe Temujin will make a comeback, and this time, he will bring at least The strength of a khanate."
Huo Qing followed the princes of the Han Empire. After two wars, he also learned about Temujin's tactics. Temujin often launched raids with the help of sand and dust, and used the cavalry's mobility to attack and retreat to consume the expeditionary forces of the Han Empire.
Sun Bin said: "Maybe Temujin will be waiting for us at the end of the desert. When we crossed the desert, both morale and physical strength declined, and the water source was depleted, so we would definitely fight as soon as possible, and then Temujin would win. opportunity.”
"Whether Temujin chooses to stay in the desert or wait for us at the end of the desert, all are on guard. The temperature seems to be getting lower and lower, and if the battle continues, more and more soldiers and horses will be frozen to death."
Chutian realized that the temperature had plummeted, and the weather was extremely unfavorable for the expeditionary forces from Guannei.
If it is the Liaodong army in Mingguan, it may be able to withstand the harsh winter in the Western Regions, but few soldiers from the Central Plains and Guanzhong can adapt to the cold winter in the Western Regions.
The most uncomfortable part was Mu Ke's Nanzhong Corps. The area was hot and rainy all year round, and they had never seen snow. The cold winter in the Tianshan Mountains might cause the Nanzhong Corps' combat power to plummet.
The influence of climate on the legion's combat power is actually quite large. Historically, the Mongolian cavalry attacked the Indo-China Peninsula and failed because they could not bear the hot climate of the jungle.
The cold winter of Tianshan is coming.
After staying in Jingjing to defend the country of Yanqi, the 300,000 expeditionary army passed the edge of the desert.
At night, the temperature plummeted, and the expeditionary army built a fire in the desert to keep warm. Because of the special treatment, Joan of Arc was able to rub against Chutian and lean on Chutian's shoulder.
Even if it's cool in summer, Joan of Arc is at this time.
Huo Qing used a branch to stir up the burning firewood, his eyes were erratic, and he was temporarily lost because he was worried about Huo An's safety.
Sitting next to Huo Qing, Mu Ke was also absent-minded.
Ji Jiu Lao Qin's face was a little haggard.
According to Jiujiu Lao Qin's statement, he is not very willing to participate in this expedition, and it seems that the climate here is unbearable.
Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun led the white-robed cavalry to investigate fifty miles ahead and returned without encountering any enemy.
Dian Wei leads the Tiger Guard patrols, and Yang Dayan, who is also in charge of patrolling, stares at the small eyes.
Although Yang's big eyes are called big eyes, their eyes are not as big as Dian Wei's.
The two fierce generals each have their own masters, and they look at each other unpleasantly.
Qin Liangyu was talking with Mulan, and the two seemed to get along very well. When Qin Liangyu mentioned Chutian, Hua Mulan would always look at Chutian from time to time. Now Hua Mulan is talking about her own daughter.
In the past, Mulan was very cold and not good at conversation. Under Xia Liang's training, she finally became a normal person and established a friendship with Qin Liangyu.
Chu Tian is also willing to let Hua Mulan befriend Qin Liangyu, and then he can turn Qin Liangyu over without a fight...
Wang Xuance and Huo Qubing, Li Siye, Zhao Ponu and other Western Regions Protector Generals gathered into a small circle, and most of the discussions were about the relief of Luntai City.
They have a strong sense of belonging to the Protectorate of the Western Regions. Even though the Protectorate of the Western Regions only has two pieces of land left, Luntai Kingdom and Cheshi Kingdom, they did not join the Mongol Empire.
All soldiers were aware that the big battle with Temujin could break out at the edge of the desert, or at the end of the wasteland.
In the Battle of Mobei, Xiongnu Yizhi Xie Chanyu chose the opportunity to fight the Han army decisively, just when the Han army left the Gobi.
Therefore, everyone is recuperating and preparing for the final battle with Temujin in his expedition to the Western Regions.
If you win, the soldiers of the expedition can return to the Han Empire and recuperate.
After losing, outside the city of Luntai, corpses were scattered everywhere, and the 300,000 expedition army was wiped out and became food for vultures.
"If I lose the battle, I am willing to follow the lord to the death."
Joan of Arc whispered to Chu Tian.
"The decisive battle has not yet begun, so don't say such unlucky words..."
Chutian had no plans to lose.
The Han Empire's expeditionary force is 300,000, and there are tens of thousands of elites in Luntai City. The Mongol Empire must simultaneously besiege Luntai City and fight with the Han Empire's expeditionary force, investing more troops.
In addition, Chutian still has a hand, so he may not fail.
"I was wrong..."
Joan of Arc is also unwilling to fail, after all, the child has not yet been born...
Xia Xia Liang looked at Chu Tian with fiery eyes, Chu Tian felt her eyes like a wolf like a tiger, and she probably saw that Joan of Arc had a child and wanted a second child...
She is a very competitive woman.
Dealing with Temujin was more laborious, and Chu Tian realized that he was really powerless.
The night in the Tianshan Mountains was cold, and the Han army rested in tents.
The next day, when a ray of sunlight crossed the foothills and cast a shadow on the Han army's camp, the 300,000 Han army set foot on the expedition again.
The war eagle soars in the air, the flags and flags cover the sky, the gold and iron horses are like tigers!
On the edge of the Taklimakan Desert, Temujin and the Chagatai Khanate allied forces, with more than 300,000 cavalry, blocked the Han army in front, and at the rear of the expeditionary army of the Han Empire, the cavalry of Subutai was like a ghost, following the Han army all the time. military.
Countless Mongolian cavalry and Central Asian cavalry assembled. The Chagatai Khanate brought a large number of camels and packhorses. In Central Asia, both camels and packhorses are not uncommon.
A commander of the Chagatai Khanate led a team of cavalry on patrol. This commander had a resolute face. Although his status was not high in the Chagatai Khanate, which had more than 100,000 troops at every turn, he relied on his military exploits. Climb up to the centurion's position step by step.
In the battle of Ili River Valley, he served as a hundred households, led more than a hundred Mongolian cavalry, beheaded 500, and contributed to the Chagatai Khanate's victory over the Central Asian coalition forces, and rose to a thousand households with military exploits.
"The position of a thousand households cannot give full play to my talents. If you give me tens of thousands of cavalry, maybe I can help the Great Khan win."
The young commander of the Chagatai Khanate seems extremely confident in his own abilities.
The Khan Chagatai of the Chagatai Khanate did not pay much attention to the newly promoted commander.
Chagatai's subordinates currently have more than ten thousand households and more than a hundred thousand households, and a new thousand households will not attract the attention of Chagatai.
Chagatai, with Temujin at this time, gathered his forces and recharged his strength.
As for Wo Kuotai and Yelu Dashi, they launched a fierce offensive against Luntai City.
The Mongol Empire intends to achieve results in two ways - at the same time capture Luntai City, and annihilate the expeditionary army of the Han Empire!
Temujin received reinforcements from the Chagatai Khanate, and his confidence increased. He summoned generals such as Muhuali, Crassus, Ali Hague, Chi Laowen, Bolshu, and Monk Wanyan Chen to stop the Han Empire's expeditionary army.
Unlike the previous two trials, Temujin had nowhere to go.
Taking a step back, the expeditionary force of the Han Empire arrived at Luntai City, and the Mongol Empire's strategy of attacking the Western Regions Protectorate was a complete failure. With his status as the Western Regions Protector, Huo An could soon resume his rule in the Western Regions Protectorate. Thirty-six countries in the Western Regions will return to Huo An's rule.
Crassus led the Roman legions into battle.
The Roman legion lost half of its troops at the Battle of Yumen Pass ~IndoMTL.com~, leaving only over 2,000 men. The Roman citizens in Mobei were sent to the Western Regions to supplement the loss of the Roman legions.
Crassus' Roman legion barely regained its size, but its strength was reduced by the addition of new recruits.
"The scale of the war in the East has become more and more tragic. If it continues like this, maybe I will die in the East. I can't die here like this group of lunatics. I must find a way to escape back to Rome..."
Crassus worked for Temujin for two years, thinking about escaping back to Rome.
If it wasn't for Temujin sending a team of Mongolian soldiers to **** Crassus personally, perhaps Crassus would have found a way to return to Rome.
Unlike Joan of Arc, who was young and ignorant at the time, Crassus has many means to return to Rome as long as he has money.
"All warriors, if you win this battle, you will get all the pastures, gold and silver, grain, women, cattle and sheep in the Western Regions!"
"Beheading the enemy, more than the loss, the commander of the army will be crowned king, ten thousand households will rise to the commander of the army, one thousand households will rise ten thousand households, and one hundred households will rise one thousand households!"
"Ordinary soldiers, those who kill five people will be promoted to a hundred households!"
"The servant army, kill the three, and regain their freedom!"
Before the start of the decisive battle, Temujin inspired the army and planned to distribute all the property in the Western Regions to the soldiers who participated in the battle, and at the same time, he would seal up officials!
Temujin's decision made more than 300,000 cavalry soldiers boil!
A person with outstanding military exploits can even be crowned king!
"Ten thousand households..." The young head of a thousand households in the Chagatai Khanate found a way to be promoted, and his fighting spirit was high. "As long as the number of troops killed exceeds a thousand, I will become a ten thousand households."
