Chapter 568: Che Shiguo

In the Grand Duchy of Moscow, the new Grand Duke of Moscow, Ekaterina, personally conquered the Golden Horde. The cavalry of both sides fought in the Volga River Basin. Jochi and Batu of the Golden Horde did not take advantage of it.

The Grand Duchy of Moscow is not a state of Rus that was vassalized by the Golden Horde in history, but a powerful country in Eastern Europe that tends to unify. Ekaterina won many heroes and awards from previous national wars and dominated Eastern Europe.

However, the Golden Horde has the eldest son army and the Golden Horde's own Qixue army, and it is quite difficult to destroy the Golden Horde.

"The Golden Horde has been a bit weird recently. It seems to be shrinking its forces and transporting the gold and silver looted from various places to its royal city."

Ekaterina gets a report from Adjutant Sophia.

Sophia's information came from spies sent by the Grand Duchy of Moscow to infiltrate the Golden Horde.

"Could it be that our people have no way of knowing the true intentions of Jochi and Batu?"

Ekaterina was dissatisfied with the intelligence.

Sophia replied: "The Golden Horde is a barbarian force that suddenly descended on the Volga River Basin. Its rulers are all from Jochi and Batu. If you are not careful, the spies who infiltrated into the Golden Horde will be eliminated. Tie Muzhen seems to be wary of our scouts, and only communicates with Jochi and Batu."

"No matter what the plan of the Golden Horde is, this year, the Golden Horde will definitely be destroyed."

Ekaterina is very strong, and she is very dissatisfied with the Golden Horde appearing in her sphere of influence.

This is her sphere of influence.

So far, only one person has let her suffer.

Thinking of that person, Ekaterina became hot again.

She has not looked for Chutian for a long time.

"That man in the east, where is he?"

For some reason, Ekaterina suddenly inquired about Chutian's information.

"It is said that the Han Empire in the east is organizing an expedition to the Western Regions. The transmission array from St. Petersburg to Luntai, the governor of the Western Regions Protectorate, has failed. Most likely, Luntai was surrounded by Mongolian cavalry. Unfortunately, if the Mongolian cavalry breaks through Luntai, You will not be able to go to the Han Empire in the future."

Sophia specifically emphasized the result of Luntai's loss.

"So what if Luntai falls,

I never thought about going to the Han Empire, and I never want to see that person again in my life. "

After Ekaterina finished speaking, she fell silent again.

She was inexplicably irritable.

It's okay not to mention it, but Ekaterina couldn't help herself when she thought of Chutian whom she hadn't seen for a while.

"Perhaps letting him know that the identity of the little duke will be a good thing for the future growth of the little duke."

Although Sophia shook her head, she reminded Ekaterina at the end.

"Little Chutian, do you want to see your father?"

Ekaterina picked up the baby in the cradle, thinking that she would never be able to tell her son that he has no father...

Cheshi King City, whose owner is Huo An's confidant, a female player named Huo Qing.

She opened the teleportation array for the Han army in the pass, and on the first day, tens of thousands of Han troops arrived in Cheshi Country in the Western Regions!

"You guys are finally here!"

Huo Qing couldn't help being overjoyed when he saw a group of generals coming out of the teleportation formation.

The entire Protectorate of the Western Regions was attacked by the Mongol Empire, and all the cities fell, and the situation was critical. At this time, it was immediately upgraded to a large city, and the Cheshi Kingdom, which opened the teleportation array, became the key to reversing the situation!

The reinforcements from the pass and the teleportation array hidden by Che Shiguo are indispensable!

Huo Qing, like Xue Yue, is a free player of the female military general type, wearing light armor.

Her eyes focused on the three princes who came, Chu Tian, ​​Lao Qin, and Xu Fengnian, and then her eyes couldn't help shifting to Xia Liang, Hua Mulan, Joan of Arc, Li Xiuning and others behind Chu Tian.

What a beautiful woman.

Huo Qing couldn't help comparing himself with these women.

When women see people who look similar to themselves, they will subconsciously compare each other, which is nature.

Huo Qing clasped his fists and said in a crisp voice: "Huo Qing, the guard of the Che Shi Kingdom, has met all the righteous men, and you have come from afar..."

Jiu Jiu Lao Qin said: "Everyone is a player, there is no need to be so polite."

"Our army needs a place to camp. Food, grass, water, tents, and wooden houses must be prepared."

Chu Tian was also very realistic, he didn't show any courtesy to this not-so-good-looking female player in front of him.

If the camps, food, and water are not settled as soon as possible, wouldn't all the troops who came to the Western Regions starve to death, die of thirst, or freeze to death?

"..."

Huo Qing pouted.

Sure enough, none of the princes who can rise in the pass are animals that rely on their lower body to think.

The beauties they have seen around them are like clouds, but they are able to restrain their desires and focus their energy on attacking cities and conquering territory.

When a beautiful woman is placed in front of them, the first thing they consider is whether she is worth using, and the second is her appearance.

"Huo Qing, Huo An, and a confidant again, could it be that this is Huo An's own sister? Good guy, I treat him like a brother, yet he doesn't even introduce his sister to me."

From their names, Chu Tian judged that most of the women guarding Che Shiguo were relatives of Huo An, so Huo An arranged for her to sit in Cheshiguo.

Suddenly, Chu Tian felt a bad look behind him. Xia Liang, Hua Mulan, and Joan of Arc had heard Chu Tian talking to himself just now.

"Chu Zimou, please ask for blessings. It will take some time for all the soldiers and horses to be teleported. I will wander around the city for now."

Jiu Jiu gloated at his misfortune, and left with his own soldiers.

The number of troops that can be sent by the teleportation array is limited in one day, and the expeditionary force of the Han Empire still needs time to gather troops and stockpile food and grass in Cheshi Kingdom, so they cannot act at will.

"We are also inspecting Cheshi Country."

In order to change the subject, Chu Tian took a group of generals to wander around the country of Che Shi.

Because of the war that broke out in the Western Regions, the people of Che Shi Kingdom were panicked. Huo Qing imposed martial law on the entire Che Shi Kingdom and recruited 25,000 servants of Che Shi Kingdom to guard the city.

The Han army in Che Shiguo only had 5,000 people.

This is also the characteristic of the Protectorate of the Western Regions.

Because of the arrival of the Han army in the pass, the civilians of Che Shiguo felt a little relieved.

The burly Dian Wei is like a giant humanoid beast, walking on the streets of Che Shiguo, bringing a strong sense of security.

Huo Qing summoned the dignitaries of Che Shiguo and hosted a banquet for the reinforcements from the pass.

Originally, because Huo An was besieged by the Mongolian cavalry in Luntai, the dignitaries of the Cheshi Kingdom lost their loyalty and tended to betray the Protectorate of the Western Regions. With Huo Qing's means, it would be difficult to control the Cheshi Kingdom.

However, at the banquet, after Dian Wei defeated dozens of strong men from Che Shi Kingdom with his bare hands, the dignitaries of Che Shi Kingdom settled down again.

The powerful princes in the Central Plains of the Han Empire sent troops, and the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions did not dare to act rashly.

If they stand on the wrong team, then the fate waiting for them is the country's subjugation.

Chu Tian and others also asked about Huo Qing's identity. Huo Qing is really Huo An's biological sister.

When Huo An fought the world in the Protectorate of the Western Regions, Huo Qing was just a young girl. After a few years, he finally had the ability to be on his own.

"The Wokuotai Khanate is in the west of the Junggar Basin, and the Subotai Army is in the south of the Altai Mountains. There are three attacks by soldiers and horses. Now Temujin is also in the Western Regions, and his whereabouts are uncertain."

Huo Qing talked about the troubles encountered by the Protectorate of the Western Regions.

Luntai has been besieged by the Mongolian army, and it is obviously a decoy.

Temujin mobilized a complete khanate and a remnant khanate to besiege Luntai, and the force was already quite strong.

Temujin's army with the most combat effectiveness left Dunhuang County, and most of them came to the Western Regions to join forces with other Khanates.

"Yanqi (qi) country is located at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, close to lakes and rivers. It seems to be a large city, similar to Luntai. If it is as expected, Temujin and others should have arrived in Yanqi. The distance between Yanqi and Cheshi country is not far .”

Chutian can probably judge Temujin's location.

"If they know that Cheshi Kingdom has suddenly become a large city, they will definitely send troops into the Turpan Basin to cut off the teleportation array here. Soon, we will confront Temujin."

"Assemble all the soldiers and horses in the Turpan Basin to meet Temujin."

Several princes regained the Hexi Corridor, pushed their troops to the Cheshi Kingdom in the Western Regions, and alarmed the nobles of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions.

They vacillated between the Han Empire and the Mongol Empire.

Luntai City, where Huo An was besieged, still had enough troops to defend the city.

Han general Chen Tang fled back to Luntai City from the siege of Wokuotai and Yelu Dashi, and was seriously injured.

Huo An and Chen Tang were supported by Gao Xianzhi's troops and returned to Luntai City smoothly.

"There are still 50,000 defenders in the city. Young and strong are temporarily recruited to enter the barracks and transfer to low-level arms. It is estimated that they can guard for two to three months, or even longer."

Huo An couldn't be more clear about his strength.

He still has two legions in his hands, the garrison of Luntai City, and Huo Qubing's legion that is confronting Subotai in Altai Mountain.

The siege of Luntai means that the teleportation array and the player system are invalid. Huo An doesn't know if and when the reinforcements in the pass will arrive. All he does is stick to it until he sees reinforcements from the Han Empire or Luntai falls. .

"How is Chen Tang's injury?"

"No serious problem for now."

"That's good. I don't know if the Cheshi Kingdom is being attacked by the Mongolian army. The Cheshi Kingdom is already my last hope... If I can't defend the Cheshi Kingdom's teleportation array, then Qingqing is better off fleeing back to the pass. ..."

Huo An was not at ease with his sister.

But Huo An was worried about the scumbags from the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions. Only Huo Qing, as a relative, was worthy of trust.

Outside the city are the cavalry of the Wokuotai Khanate and the Central Asian cavalry of Yelu Dashi.

After the generals of Dawan Kingdom and Loulan Kingdom were killed and Chen Tang was seriously injured, the only general Huo An can use at present is Gao Xianzhi.

If they go out to fight in the city, if they are defeated, Luntai City will most likely fall.

Huo An didn't dare to take this risk lightly.

Only by defending Luntai City can the Protectorate of the Western Regions be preserved.

Under the city, the armies of Wokuotai and Yelu Dashi besieged Luntai City on three sides, missing one of the three sides, shaking the hearts of the soldiers in the city, and the defenders might rush out and send Luntai City away.

Many soldiers and family members of the Wokuotai Khanate were taken away by Huo An, including the princess of Wokuotai and others.

The Wokuotai Khanate couldn't wait, and wanted to capture Luntai City and take back their population, cattle and sheep.

Huo An has been running Luntai City for many years, building fortresses, fortresses, arrow towers, and female walls. Luntai City has become the strongest fortress in the Western Regions. difficult to do.

"Catapult, Yelu Dashi, we need a trebuchet."

Wo Kuotai trusted Yelu Dashi, the general Temujin sent to the Western Regions.

Yelu Dashi and Wanyan Chen Monk, one is the Khitan Liao Kingdom, the other is the Jurchen Jin Kingdom, the military generals who turned the tide in the end, Temujin reused them, naturally because of their outstanding abilities, even compared to the famous generals of the Mongol Empire. .

It's just that the era they lived in, the end of the Liao Kingdom and the end of the Jin Kingdom, had rotted foundations, and no matter how outstanding a person's talents were, they could not turn the tide.

They can fully exert their abilities under Temujin's command.

At present, Yelu Dashi has become Wokuotai's most important general, and he even wants to take Yelu Dashi as his own general to compete for the Khan position of the Mongolian Empire.

"Why don't you ask the Great Khan for craftsmen to make trebuchets? If you take Luntai City, maybe the Great Khan will pay more attention to your lord."

"What you said is true, we need Xiangyang Cannon to destroy Luntai City..."

Wo Kuotai squinted his eyes and observed the city defense of Luntai City.

Only by using the Xiangyang Cannon can the strongest city in the Western Regions be destroyed.

Luntai City will become the second fortress to be destroyed after Yumen Pass.

"Report! Chagatai Khan will lead an army to besiege Luntai City within half a month!"

A scout who explored Ma Chi received the report from Chagatai, so he hurriedly reported the matter to Wo Kuotai.

"The reinforcements from the Chagatai Khanate... I never expected to rely on the power of Chagatai to capture the Protectorate of the Western Regions. When I capture the Protectorate of the Western Regions, I will invite the Great Khan to take down the Protectorate of the Western Regions." Give me the controlled land, population, cattle and sheep, and re-establish the khanate here, and you are the deputy king."

In order to win Yelu Dashi to work for himself, Wo Kuotai even promised Yelu Dashi the position of vice king of Wo Kuotai Khanate.

Yelu Dashi did not answer.

Both Ogodei and Chagatai are trying their best to win him over. He has enough capital to raise the price among Temujin's sons.

In Luntai City, no matter Huo An, Wo Kuotai, or Yelu Dashi, they all have their own concerns at this time.

The country of Yanqi had been captured by the Mongolian cavalry. King Yanqi led his people and had to be loyal to Temujin.

The national power of Yanqi State is like a mantis holding a chariot in front of Temujin's army.

Even if the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions form a coalition, they are not the opponent of Huo An's Protectorate of the Western Regions, let alone a small country in the Western Regions.

"The Cheshi country has been upgraded to a large city..."

Temujin originally thought that the deployment was complete, and all the teleportation arrays in the Western Regions were under his control, but he didn't expect that Huo An would save a hand.

The medium-sized city of Cheshi Kingdom was suddenly upgraded to a large-scale city, which meant that the Han army did not need to start from Yumen Pass and cross the desert, but could be sent directly to the Turpan Basin!

"Attack the country of Che Shi immediately and cut off the teleportation array!"
