Lord of the Gaming World Chapter 615: The Fall of Dawan
One hundred and fifty kilometers east of Alimari City, on the Ili River, the cavalry of Temujin, Zhebe and Chagatai gathered here, and the Mongolian and Wusun cavalry gathered here, choosing to join forces with the expeditionary forces of the Han Empire here decisive battle.
This is the second large-scale battle between the two sides. Temujin and others are on the defensive, while the Han Empire's expeditionary force over the Tianshan Mountains is the attacker.
"Great Khan, the 80,000 cavalry of the Wusun Kingdom, follow your orders."
King Wusun bowed respectfully to Temujin, fearful of the great Khan from Mobei.
Temujin has the characteristic "Genghis Khan", which has a suppressing effect on the kings of many tribes.
The Wusun Kingdom is one of the most powerful kingdoms among the thirty-six kingdoms in the Western Regions.
Some small countries in the Western Regions, in "Lord", may only have one medium-sized city with tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people, but the territory of Wusun State, from the Ili River Valley to the Junggar Basin, has a large number of cities. Second to the Protectorate of the Western Regions.
The original Wusun Kingdom was defeated by Huo An, the old Wusun King was executed, and Huo An established a new Wusun King, but this Wusun King was defeated by Okuotai and Yelu Dashi, and was captured. Mongol cavalry.
"Ben Khan heard that many Wusun nobles chose to support the Han army, and sent cavalry to support the Han army, which led to the Han army's great momentum in the Ili River Valley."
Temujin sternly looked at King Wusun in front of him.
King Wusun's forehead was dripping with sweat: "Huo An, the Protector of the Western Regions, once ruled this place, and he was kind to many nobles. Therefore, for their own interests, they would naturally choose to support the Han army. Please rest assured, Khan, and more. Many nobles will support me, and there are already 80,000 cavalrymen who are willing to follow me and help the Great Khan win."
"I hope you don't let me down. If the Han army is repelled, you will be the deputy king of the Chagatai Khanate."
"Yes..."
King Wusun couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Become the Chagatai Khanate in one fell swoop, a role under one person and above ten thousand people, and the power of the original King Wusun is almost the same.
The expeditionary force of the Han Empire is advancing rapidly, and it is less than 200 miles away from Alimali!
The Han army broke through the fourth city, captured a group of artisans and servants, and expanded its scale.
The surrounding Wanhu and Wusun nobles fled to Alimali one after another, and the army of Chutian and others got less and less trophies.
All expeditionary sergeants knew that a decisive battle with Temujin in the Ili Valley was imminent.
According to the account of the prisoners, Temujin and Chagatai Khanate assembled one million cavalry in front, ready to annihilate this deep expeditionary force on the Ili River.
Although Temujin claimed to be an army of one million, the princes of the Han Empire knew that this claim was generally only an imaginary number, and the real force had shrunk by at least half, possibly less than half.
Nevertheless, Temujin and Chagatai fought in their home field, the Chagatai Khanate, and the overall situation was unfavorable for the Han army.
The 110,000 Han army and the 40,000 Wusun army are like entering a barrel of explosives, and they may be smashed to pieces together with Temujin and Chagatai at any time.
Because Huo An once ruled the Ili River Valley, Huo An was able to obtain a map of the Ili River Valley. He was familiar with this place. Temujin and Chagatai did not occupy an absolute geographical advantage.
The expeditionary force of the Han Empire knew that it was alone and had the determination to fight the last stand and sink the boat, so it was reluctant to have a relationship.
"If you fight Temujin and Chagatai in the Ili Valley, what are your chances of winning?"
Ji Jiu Lao Qin stared at the map, lost in thought.
With Lao Qin's prudence, before the war begins, he will always consider his own winning percentage.
The battle between Luntai Kingdom and Temujin and Chagatai was fought in a place directly controlled by the Protectorate of the Western Regions. The Han army even occupied the sky and defeated Temujin in one fell swoop.
Of the 110,000 expeditionary force's main force, 10,000 came from the hot southern and central regions. The combat effectiveness of the Fujijia soldiers and the white pole soldiers was greatly reduced because of the cold winter.
Most of the 50,000 troops in Chutian came from the Central Plains or Qilu, and the climate here was unbearable.
Old Qin's Guanzhong Army was similar to Chutian's Central Plains Army.
The remnants of Xu Fengnian could barely accept this climate.
The time and place are favorable, and the expeditionary force of the Han Empire seems to be at a disadvantage in terms of weather and time.
The 40,000 Wusun cavalrymen who came to rely on them were adapted to fight here because they lived in this place.
"If we fight according to normal conditions, we will open three or seven, and Temujin will have more cavalry, which is seven." Huo An just finished speaking, and then added, "But under abnormal circumstances, we will be seven."
Both Chu Tian and Lao Qin were slightly moved: "Abnormal situation?"
"Probably so..."
"So it is."
This time, Chu Tian and Lao Qin were finally relieved.
You can now fight with Temujin and Chagatai in the Ili Valley.
"Part of the Chagatai Khanate's cavalry went to attack the Seljuk Empire. Before the Seljuk Sultan lost the news, he sent envoys to contact us. Nine times out of ten, the king's city was besieged, so the Seljuk Empire was under siege. , and may soon perish."
Huo An is still paying attention to other battlefields.
The five major civilizations agreed that when the ice and snow melted, the drums of war were beaten, but Temujin launched an offensive in the cold winter. Among the five major civilizations, the Seljuk Empire, which is currently the weakest, was beaten to the point of being destroyed.
If it wasn't for the Han army going deep into the Chagatai Khanate, perhaps Temujin could have unscrupulously occupied Central Asia and strengthened his power.
A player captain of the Western Regions Protectorate came over, and he was in charge of contacting the country of Dawan.
He came to Huo An's ear and whispered the news from the Dawan Kingdom. Huo An's face changed one after another.
Because the Han army broke through the city of the Chagatai Khanate, some of the player's systems can be activated in the city, so Huo An can know the changes in the Western Regions Protectorate and the vassal of the Western Regions Protectorate.
Chu Tian, Lao Qin, Xu Fengnian, Mu Ke and others saw the change in Huo An's expression and knew what might have happened to Huo An's territory: "What's the matter?"
Huo An's tone was solemn: "You should know that the Dawan Kingdom was under my control before the start of the Fourth National War. Now the nobles of the Dawan Kingdom have killed the king I appointed. The Kushan Empire has invaded again. Dawan Kingdom, and occupied Dawan Kingdom. Dawan Kingdom became a vassal of Kushan Empire."
"The Kushuang Empire really made a fortune in silence."
Chutian could not help but admire the forbearance of the Kushuang Empire.
When the five major civilizations fought against the Mongol Empire and the three Khanates, they quietly seized the vassal of the Protectorate of the Western Regions, expanded their power to Congling and other places, and directly fought with Khwarizimo and Chahe. Civilizations such as the Taiwan Khanate and the Protectorate of the Western Regions bordered on each other.
Huo An suffered heavy losses in this national war.
Originally, Dawan and Wusun were his territories, but now he wants to re-occupy these places, and he has to break out a war with the Kushan Empire.
"What famous generals are there in the Kushan Empire?"
"I don't know. There are too few records of the Kushan Empire in the history books. Even if the Kushan Empire has famous generals, it is estimated that there are some original generals."
Everyone thought about it for a while. The records in the Eastern Han and European regions were fairly detailed, while the Kushan Empire, which was once a short-lived civilization in history, seemed to really lack records.
"Regardless of the strength of the Kushuang Empire, he took away the vassal state controlled by our Protectorate of the Western Regions. This revenge will be avenged sooner or later."
Huo An was annoyed at the Kushan Empire, which had sent troops to occupy Dawan.
Dawan, because it is located in the Fergana Basin, is rich in horses and food, and is an important vassal state for the Protectorate of the Western Regions.
In order to ask for the blood of Dawan, Emperor Wu of Han did not hesitate to send general Li Guangli to lead the Han army to expedition to Dawan twice, killing its king and establishing a new king of Dawan.
Huo An's approach is somewhat similar to that of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. In order to appease the Kingdom of Dayuan as soon as possible, he chose to kill the King of Dayuan and establish a new king who is close to the Protectorate of the Western Regions.
However, Huo An still underestimated the power of the nobles of the Dawan Kingdom. After the influence of these nobles in the Protectorate of the Western Regions shrank, they joined forces to overthrow the king established by Huo An and re-elected a new king. , representing the interests of the nobles of the Dawan Kingdom, not the interests of the Protectorate of the Western Regions.
Generally speaking, it is very difficult for the Protectorate of the Western Regions to conquer the Central Asian civilization whose civilization is incompatible with itself.
Compared to Dawan Kingdom, Cheshi Kingdom, Yanqi Kingdom, Luntai Kingdom, and Qiuci Kingdom, which have been ruled by the Western Regions Protectorate for a longer time, are more able to accept the culture of the Han Empire.
"In the future, we must use the teleportation array to change the way of ruling the civilization of Central Asia. It is best to force our culture to Chineseize it."
After the repeated betrayals of these vassals, Huo An has been thinking about establishing a new order.
Obviously, during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the strategy of supporting a new king could not achieve long-term control over the vassal. The measures taken by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty were based on the premise of the strength of the Protectorate of the Western Regions. Once the Protectorate of the Western Regions weakened its influence, or a civilization more powerful than the Protectorate of the Western Regions appeared, these places would betray one after another.
Replacing the old with a new culture, coupled with forceful repression, may be the long-term solution.
"For the time being, we don't need to consider the affairs of the Dawan Kingdom and the Kushan Empire. We will defeat Temujin and Chagatai and recover the Ili region and the civilization of Central Asia. Sooner or later, we will clean up."
Chu Tian and others turned their attention back to the Ili River Valley.
The Kingdom of Dawan was annexed by the Kushuang Empire. The Kushuang Empire clearly knew that the Protectorate of the Western Regions was beyond the reach of the Kingdom of Dawan at this time.
But this beam is finally settled.
The expeditionary force of the Han Empire believed that Huo An had a 70% chance of winning, and marched along the Ili River, preparing for the second Ili River Valley battle against Temujin and Chagatai Khanate in the Ili River Valley. The protagonist has changed from the Central Asian coalition to the expeditionary army of the Han Empire.
"The Han army actually chose to fight in the Ili River Valley. Their strength is only more than 100,000. Are they really confident that they can defeat our 300,000 troops?"
When Temujin learned that the Han army would not retreat but advance, he still couldn't believe it on the eve of the second battle of the Ili River Valley.
Temujin couldn't produce the so-called million army, but 300,000 cavalry was more than enough.
The Han army crossed the Tianshan Mountains. The number of troops was small, and the number of servants they obtained was not large, but they dared to fight head-on.
There is a big problem here.
"Khan, they only have confidence in themselves, so they dare to fight with us. This time, we will use absolute force to destroy them and let their blood stain the Ili River."
Chagatai stroked the wings of a war eagle. The Ili River had frozen over thousands of miles, but the cavalry of both sides had to fight an unprecedented decisive battle in this climate.
"Zhebie, the war started, you led a cavalry to ambushed in the snow forest in the north of the mountain, attacked the rear of the Han army, and shot Chu Zimou."
Temujin believed that Chutian's cavalry was no less than his cavalry, an opponent that must be eliminated, so he ordered Zhebei to ambush in complex terrain for surprise attacks.
Zhebei's goal was to shoot Chutian, who was the greatest threat to Temujin.
"The last general takes orders!"
Zhebei took eight thousand cavalry with him. Among the eight thousand cavalry, there were still about one thousand Qianxue troops.
In order to kill Chu Tian, Temujin did not hesitate to use the few veterans of the Qiao Xue Army.
Temujin has already recruited new Qi Xue troops in Mobei to make up for his losses. However, Mobei's newly recruited new army of Xue Xue is generally low-level and unable to go into battle. Even if they go into battle, their combat power is much lower than that of veterans who have experienced many battles.
"In this war, Chu Zimou must be killed, otherwise, he will become a nightmare, a nightmare that has always threatened us."
Temujin became more and more wary of Chutian.
Chagatai said to one of the ten thousand households beside him: "When will Timur's cavalry return?"
"In three days."
"It's too late~IndoMTL.com~ But Timur only has 30,000 cavalry, so it won't play any role in the battle. With Zhebei's 8,000 ambush soldiers, plus our army of more than 300,000, it is enough to defeat the Han Dynasty. Army, this time the Han army is only more than 100,000 people, and they still came across the Tianshan Mountains, and their men and horses are tired."
Although Chagatai regretted that Timur's cavalry was still on the way, a war could break out at any time. The advance of the Han army was unbelievable. It was obvious that the target was aimed at Alimali, not to Temujin. , Chagatai time to gather more troops.
If the Han army encircled Alimali, then the teleportation array in Alimali would fail, and Temujin and Chagatai would have to gather their forces elsewhere to relieve the siege of Alimali.
Generally speaking, the Han army was on the offensive. The forces of Temujin and Chagatai seemed to be huge, but they were passive, responding to the rapid offensive of the Han army.
While Timur's 30,000 cavalry was still on his way, he received new orders from Chagatai.
"Khan asked me to teleport directly to Alimali, and then immediately went to support the battlefield, responsible for harvesting the Han army... It would be best if the Khan could defeat the Han army. Everyone, speed up the march!"
Timur limped to his steed, then rolled over.
Like the wounded Sun Guan, Timur is only like a normal person when he is on a horse.
However, he was born disabled and nicknamed "lame Timur".
Timur's 30,000 cavalry, benefited from his characteristics, speeded up the march, trying to catch up with the decisive battle between the Temujin and Chagatai coalition forces and the Han Empire's expeditionary army.
