Chapter 1173 Li Mu and Lian Po Join Forces
"Your Majesty, two generals, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, have already engaged Subotai. The Seljuk Arslan has stationed troops outside the battlefield. Do you want to send troops to defend Arslan?"
"Don't pay attention to Arslan. He wants to restore the Seljuq Empire and will not help Ogodei."
Chutian was not worried about Arslan's hundreds of thousands of Seljuk cavalry, and devoted all his energy to dealing with Ogedai.
In the Kingdom of Khwarazm, Li Mu's Monan Army and the Tubo Army of Lun Qinling jointly invaded the territory of Khwarazm, sharing each other's forces with Chutian.
Samarkand was the royal city of the Kingdom of Khwarezm. Tamerlane, who ruled India, was ordered to assemble here and prepare to attack along the Tianshan Mountains to cut off Chutian's retreat.
The troops of the Golden Family gathered in several large cities at the same time.
The Indian army was mainly composed of low-level cannon fodder. Millions of soldiers and horses were gathered in Samarkand. Timur personally commanded the Indian army of one million.
"All the soldiers and horses rescued the siege of the city, and all the soldiers and horses attacked the Dawan Kingdom, and completely destroyed the Xia army that attacked the Dawan Kingdom."
Tamerlane was in charge of a million-strong army and could not help but feel ambitious at this time.
As long as his soldiers and horses can work wonders, he may be able to destroy all the Xia troops entering the Hezhong area!
Brahmins, the Indian lords, joined forces with Timur.
Whether it was to revive ancient India or to deal with China, Brahmins believed it was necessary to participate in this war.
Timur commanded the cavalry, while the Brahmin and his most effective general Shivaji commanded the Indian war elephant army. A million-strong army began to move northward and encountered the Monan army and the Tibetan army in northern Samarkand.
Zhao Kuo led a small group of cavalry to scout ahead, climbed to a nearby hill, and secretly watched the endless Indian army moving north.
Thousand-person phalanxes passed by one after another, and the armored war elephants made the ground tremble. The number of cavalry in the rear was also endless.
Dozens of Indian princes went out to fight, and there were hundreds of thousands of cannon fodder soldiers transferred from lower castes.
"A terrible number of cavalry."
Zhao Kuo witnessed the advance of millions of Indian troops and was a little shocked.

Indian civilization is the only civilization with a population comparable to that of the Central Plains. This expedition also has a million-level army.
A Zhao Kuo cavalryman said to Zhao Kuo: "General, their infantry is in the front, the elephant soldiers are in the middle, and the cavalry is in the back. This seems to be a tactic commonly used by the Indians."
"They have always been like this. As long as the elephants destabilize the enemy's formation, the cavalry can break it."
Zhao Kuo has been fighting for more than ten years and is well-informed. He is not the stupid young man he was before.
He has also discovered that Timur's army is divided into three parts. The infantry are at the front, which are basically low-level infantry used as cannon fodder. The most famous Indian War Elephant Corps is in the middle, and hundreds of thousands of Indian cavalry are at the rear.
Indian infantry has never had a good reputation and is positioned as cannon fodder, while the cavalry is the main force.
Timur sat on his horse and suddenly looked at the hill where Zhao Kuo was. He seemed to have a premonition and said to the two generals beside him: "You lead troops to search that mountain range. There may be an ambush."
The two ancient Indian generals looked at each other.
A little afraid of this new master: "Yes!"
Thousands of light cavalry quickly swept toward the hill where Zhao Kuo was.
"Retreat quickly!"
Zhao Kuo saw the Indian light cavalry driving forward and knew that his position had been discovered.
He was a little surprised in his heart. Timur's intuition was accurately terrifying.
A dozen Zhao Bianqi, led by Zhao Kuo, retreated to the north.
"Khan, there are indeed a dozen scout cavalry exploring the nearby mountains!"
"It seems that a large army is nearby, so destroy them all."
Not only was Timur not nervous, but he wanted to establish his authority in front of the Indian army and better rule the Indian peninsula.
The military order was transmitted to the ears of thousands of households through hundreds of cavalry. The millions of Indian troops were hurriedly dispatched and their marching speed slowed down.
Zhao Kuo returned and galloped all day and night to meet up with Li Mu, Lian Po, and Zhao She: "The enemy troops are under the banner of Timur. They have countless troops and horses, which are difficult to count."
Li Mu summoned Tashi and Lunqinling of the Tibetan army, with a total of 300,000 troops.
"We originally planned to capture Samarkand, but now the situation has changed. Timur has assembled heavy troops in Samarkand in an attempt to move to the Tianshan Mountains. This will not only cut off His Majesty's retreat, but also support the Dawan Kingdom in the east. As expected, not Ordinary people.”
Li Mu heard Zhao Kuo's reply and guessed Timur's strategic intentions without looking at the map.
The entire Hezhong area became a battlefield, with both sides attacking and defending in full swing.
Timur's purpose was to cut off the retreat of the three million Xia troops.
Once the retreat was blocked by Timur, the three million Xia army might have been annihilated if they had not occupied the teleportation array in the Hezhong area.
"Change offense into defense, defend and counterattack."
Lian Po once again used persistence tactics.
Li Mu and Lian Po were both good at defending before attacking.
Lian Po ordered Sergeant to build a temporary defense line in the important road. He has the SS-level characteristic "Strong Barrier". When building fortifications in the wild, the legion's defense power is +30%, the durability of the fortifications is +20%, and the damage of the fortifications to the enemy is +10%. , at this time, it can be effective.
Li Mu is also a defensive general. He has the SS-level characteristic "Defensive Counterattack". When on the defensive, the legion's defense power is +15%. When he goes on the offensive, the legion's defense bonus disappears and the legion's attack power is +15%.
In addition, Li Mu's army-wide defense aura "Wu'anjun" (the defense power of all his own legions on the battlefield is +12%, and the morale decline rate is -13%. A unit can only be applied to three army-wide auras at most. Li Mu's headquarters army's defense power is additional + 18%), and also strengthened the defense of himself and Lian Po's army.
With the cooperation of two people, Lian Po's army's defense increased by 42%, and Li Mu's defense increased by 45%, which is equivalent to strengthening by almost half. This is already an exaggerated value.
When Zhao Guo Shuangbi is on the defensive, he can rely on the higher legion defense to consume the attacker's physical strength and morale. When the enemy's physical strength and morale decline, they can then look for opportunities to counterattack.
Li Mu and Lian Po would adopt such safe tactics when facing a strong enemy. Especially when facing a strong Qin, if they rush forward at all costs, they will easily fail.
This time, the Monan army had 200,000 troops, and Li Mu and Lian Po each commanded 100,000 troops to stop Timur.
Cooperating with Li Mu and Lian Po was Tashi, the leader of the Tubo army.
Because Tashi witnessed the birth of the overlord of the Central Plains and directly led the Tubo Protectorate to attach, he was still appointed as the Tubo Protector and was granted the title of Marquis. His status was not low.
Tashi stationed troops in the eastern mountains, and Li Mu and Lian Po stationed at the foot of the mountain were horns of each other, echoing each other from afar.
The Tubo army was good at fighting in mountains and plateaus.
The Tibetan army under the command of Tashi only had 100,000 people, but it was the elite that fought with the Tang Empire in the four towns of Anxi in history. Its combat effectiveness was quite strong. It was also the most powerful period of Tibet.
The population of Tubo is still too small, after all, the environment is harsh.
The environment is harsh, and if there is a martial spirit, then they will tend to be more aggressive.
Chutian had already sent the panels of Li Mu, Lian Po, Zhao She, Zhao Kuo, Wanyan Zonghan, and Wanyan Yinshu to Monan Army generals in advance to Tashi, who is also a player, so that he could have a basic understanding of the abilities of these generals. to cooperate better.
In addition to Li Mu, who has the aura of the entire army, the commander-in-chief of the Tubo army, Lun Qinling, also has the aura of the entire army. He is one of the few generals in the Tubo Protectorate who has the aura of the entire army, but he mainly provides bonuses to the Tibetan soldiers.
The Tubo army went out with all its strength to cooperate with the Monan army to build earthen fortresses.
