Chapter 570: Backing the City (Including Old Qin Panel)
Huo Qing stood on the city wall with a group of dignitaries from the Cheshi Kingdom, nervously watching the 150,000 Han Empire Expeditionary Army deploy below the city.
If he is defeated, Temujin will besiege the Cheshi country, maybe he will vent his anger on the Cheshi country, and then massacre the city.
It is said that the Yili Khanate slaughtered 700,000 people in the Persian Empire. The Persian Empire was terrified, and a large-scale battle broke out with the Yili Khanate.
"We must win..."
Huo Qing clenched his fists, restless.
The 150,000 expeditionary force is currently the only hope for the Cheshi country, and also the only hope for the entire Western Region.
If the 150,000 Han Empire Expeditionary Force is severely damaged in this battle, the teleportation array will fail.
The dignitaries of Che Shiguo were even more apprehensive and vacillating. Maybe the Han army was defeated, and they would eagerly sell Huo Qing to Temujin in exchange for their safety.
Among the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, most of the nobles of the Wusun Kingdom have defected to the Mongol Empire, because the influence of the Protectorate of the Western Regions has shrunk.
Below Cheshi King's City, 150,000 Han troops formed a formation, with Xu Fengnian's Xiliang Army as the left wing, Lao Qin's Guanzhong Army as the right wing, and Chutian's Central Plains Army as the backbone.
Chutian's central army has obtained three halo effects for the entire army. Chutian's "Hanwu (Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty)" has improved all attributes; The "Great Wall Guards (Northern Wei Dynasty)" increases defense and maintains morale.
In fact, Joan of Arc also has the halo of the whole army...
It suddenly occurred to Chu Tian that after he conquered Joan of Arc, he didn't seem to ask for her allegiance.
That aspect of conquest is not the same as allegiance...
It's like Chu Tian had a relationship with Ekaterina, but without Ekaterina's consent, he couldn't see Ekaterina's panel.
Wait until Temujin is defeated, and then look at Joan of Arc's ability.
Joan of Arc is not with Chu Tian at this time, the war is approaching, there is no time to recruit Joan of Arc.
In addition to the three halos of the whole army, Chutian also has the auxiliary feature of military adviser Sun Bin, which greatly enhances the power of the cavalry of Commander Chutian.
Chutian has no bonuses for infantry and crossbowmen, Sun Bin only strengthens the ability of the general,
Therefore, the army that is not directly commanded by Chu Tian will not get the bonus from Sun Bin.
However, this was enough. The cavalry that Chutian personally added was not inferior to Temujin's cavalry with various bonuses.
Jiujiu Lao Qin's Guanzhong Army, Jiujiu Lao Qin has the halo of the whole army, and Wang Jian has the halo of the whole army.
Before going to war, Jiujiu Lao Qin glanced at his panel a little bit.
[Name]: Jiu Jiu Lao Qin
【Nobility】: Marquis of Pingling
[Official position]: General Cheqi, Lieutenant of Sili, Sikong
【Level】: 65
[Commander]: 91 [Force]: 45 [Intelligence]: 80 [Politics]: 87
[Characteristic 1]: Reform and strengthen (the characteristics of SSS-level monarchs, the speed of economic, agricultural, and cultural development in the territory +15%, popular support and public security are not easy to decline; it is easier to attract internal affairs talents, such as Xun Yu, Li Si, etc.; recruit , Training soldiers and horses efficiency +20%; one of Qin Xiaogong's characteristics)

[Characteristic 5]: Standing firm (A-level characteristic, legion attack power -10%, defense power +30%; one of Zhou Yafu's characteristics)

Because he acquired Li Ji's characteristic "Hundred Battles" during the first national war (see the Battle of Anshicheng), and he has experienced hundreds of battles, Lao Qin's commander value has grown to a very considerable level.
"It may be a bit worse than Chu Zimou's panel, but this is already the second and third panel."
Jiujiu Lao Qin believes that his panel data can only be compared with Chutian and Mingguan.
After many battles, the characteristics he acquired are quite impressive, some of which are quite practical.
After various bonuses have been superimposed, the morale of the Guanzhong Army is like a rainbow.
The Legion of Jiujiu Lao Qin is good at defense, but lacks in attack.
Qin Rui wears perseverance, eager to fight.
Killing the enemy, Qin Ruishi can get military exploits, rewards, fields, and slaves!
Risk your life to fight, first of all to change your status!
Wang Jian wields his sword, and Qin Rui's soldiers are currently sent to Che Shiguo with 30,000 soldiers!
Lu Bu was holding a halberd and Yang Dayan was holding a lance. The two stood on the left and right of Jiu Jiu Lao Qin. The military adviser Jia Xu squinted his eyes and looked at the coming Temujin army.
Temujin's legion is mainly cavalry. Except for special arms such as the Roman Legion, Tanmachi, Zhongxiao Army, and Helihe Army, the rest of the Mongolian cavalry can eat Temujin's bonus (the upper limit of the number is the same as that of Temujin's commander The value is directly proportional), which is equivalent to the left wing, the backbone, and the right wing of the Han army, facing Temujin's cavalry.
"Temujin and Muhuali have the halo of the whole army, and the Roman giant Crassus may also have the halo of the whole army. That is to say, Temujin's army has gathered the upper limit of three halos of the whole army."
Jiu Jiu Lao Qin knew that this battle was not easy to fight.
Temujin also knew about stacking halo bonuses, so he often took the Roman giant Crassus to obtain the halo effect of his entire army, so that the Mongolian army on the battlefield could get a bonus of up to three halo upper limit for the entire army on one battlefield.
According to the inferences of Chu Tian, Lao Qin and others, although the Jurchen general Wanyan Chen under Temujin’s command has a loyal and filial army with terrifying combat power, Wanyan Chen should not have the aura of the whole army and belong to a fierce general, otherwise Temujin There is really no need to take Crassus on expeditions from time to time.
Subotai may have the halo of the whole army. Currently Subotai is still being restrained by Huo Qubing.
"Put down the war in the Western Regions as soon as possible, and I want to see them as soon as possible..."
Xu Fengnian sent his family to Xiacheng, feeling a little tired of the protracted war with the Mongol Empire.
But in his position, seeking his job, Xu Fengnian was canonized by the Han Dynasty as Liangzhou Shepherd, and this expedition to the Western Regions was his duty.
Wang Yanzhang and Ma Chao followed Xu Fengnian.
Xu Fengnian lacks generals who have the aura of the whole army. Only Xu Fengnian himself has a halo of the whole army. He may become a breakthrough here.
But Chutian has already prepared a reserve team, ready to support Xu Fengnian at any time.
Xu Fengnian has high-level heavy cavalry, and his real combat power is not much inferior.
"We must defeat the enemy this time."
Wang Yanzhang raised his spear straight away, and behind him was a troop of dragons, which belonged to the heavy cavalry.
Although Ma Chao has not grown to the peak yet, he has already experienced hundreds of battles. Xu Fengnian recruited a team of Xiliang cavalry for him to lead together with Ma Teng.
At this time, Xu Fengnian didn't have to worry about Ma Teng's betrayal, because most of Liangzhou had been occupied by Lao Qin's Guanzhong Army. Ma Teng could only choose to join forces with Xu Fengnian, not to mention that most of Ma Teng's family members were in Xiacheng.
Generals with Xiliang background have special bonuses to Xiliang iron cavalry.
In order to strengthen Xu Fengnian's Xiliang army, Chu Tian lent Xu Fengnian Huaxiong's one thousand Xiliang cavalry.
First of all, the interests of the Han Empire are paramount.
Secondly, even though Hua Xiong's Xiliang iron cavalry was under Xu Fengnian's command, the kill points were still counted towards Chutian.
Finally, Xu Fengnian's power is also one of the targets that Chutian considers for inclusion.
Hua Xiong joined the Xiliang Army in this battle, carrying a sword, and joined Ma Teng, Ma Chao, Han Sui and others.
He glanced over the group of generals from Xiliang, among them Ma Teng, Han Sui and Han Sui's subordinates were not to be feared, only Ma Chao's force looked astonishing.
Han Sui's generals included Liang Xing, Cheng Yin and others, but it was a pity that Cheng Yi died in the Battle of Yumen Pass.
After Huaxiong's 1,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry merged into Ma Teng and Han Sui's Xiliang Iron Cavalry, the number of Xiliang Iron Cavalry reached as many as 6,000, all of which were seventh-tier troops.
"Wait a minute and don't die in battle."
Ma Chao glanced at the hulking Hua Xiong.
"Yellow-haired boy, wait and see how your uncle Huaxiong behaves."
Hua Xiong gasped.
Although he is the standard unit of measurement for a fierce general, it does not mean that he is easy to mess with.
"Xu Fengnian has about tens of thousands of heavy cavalry, and Lao Qin has Qin Ruishi, who can basically gain a firm foothold."
Chu Tian looked to the left and right, Lao Qin and Xu Fengnian were considered reliable allies.
Chutian's own backbone, Mu Guiying's infantry armored heavy infantry, Li Xiuning's women's army, Liang Hongyu's Jianyan crossbowmen, and Xia Liang's Shenji battalion are enough to stabilize the Chinese army.
Then, the White Robe Army, White Horse Yi Cong, and Iron Eagle Scouts acted as light cavalry, and the Xuanjia Army, Huben Army, and Cavalry Army, as heavy cavalry, could step forward to harvest at any time, or serve as a reserve team to support the left and right wings.
There are also the five schools of the Northern Army led by the five tigers of the Northern Army, and the five hundred tiger guards of Dianwei, serving as Chutian's guards and the real reserve team.
The servant army of Joan of Arc is still in the pass. As for the role of Joan of Arc, it is to inspire the whole army.
After deploying, Chutian waited for Temujin's army to attack and then counterattacked.
Temujin's cavalry is good at field battles. Since Chutian and others went out to fight in the city, Temujin should not miss this rare opportunity.
All the generals went to the front line, even Xia Liang personally commanded the Shenji Battalion, and Joan of Arc carried the holy banner.
Chutian's two SSS-level traits are both cavalry, and Shenji Battalion belongs to firearms arms other than infantry, cavalry, crossbows, and navy, and requires special attribute bonuses to exert maximum lethality.
Chu Tian's bonus to Shenjiying is really not as high as Xialiang's "three-stage strike" and "black gunpowder" to Shenjiying.
Mu Guiying rode a war horse and came to the front row to direct the infantry to step heavily. This kind of heavy infantry equipped with infantry armor weighing tens of kilograms has extremely strong defense power. The disadvantage is that it lacks flexibility and consumes physical strength.
The Jianyan Crossbowman equipped with the God Arm Bow has become a seventh-tier unit. Under the command of Liang Hongyu, they cooperate with Mu Guiying's infantry.
The combination of two heroines is actually the standard configuration of the Southern Song Dynasty army, and the infantry has a higher proportion of crossbowmen...
The cooperation between the Women's Army and the Shenji Battalion is similar to that of Mu Guiying and Liang Hongyu. They are both infantry and long-range units to ensure that the Chinese army will not be easily defeated by the Mongolian cavalry.
The 150,000 Han troops had the city wall to rely on, so they didn't have to worry about being cut off by the Mongolian cavalry and occupying a favorable location.
"The right time, the right place, and the right people. We have the right place, the right people, and the right time. The time is uncertain. Military division, can you infer the right time?"
Chu Tian asked military adviser Sun Bin.
In reality, it is difficult to judge the so-called weather, but in the world of "Lord", it is really possible...
Sun Bin murmured, as if he was making a deduction, and finally changed his color slightly, and answered Chu Tian: "The time of day may be on Temujin's side..."
"..."
Chu Tian regretted being talkative.
"There is sand!"
Huo Qing, who was on the city wall, pointed to the west, and the dust was flying. It was not the dust produced by the galloping Mongolian cavalry, but the common dust in the Western Regions!
In the last battle of Mobei, Chutian experienced sandstorms, which delayed Chutian's march.
The strong wind howled, the dust was thrown into the air, and the battle flags fluttered!
"It's a little troublesome..."
Jiujiu Lao Qin couldn't help smiling wryly as he watched the dust and cavalry coming from the west.
To be honest, he was not very willing to fight Temujin in the Western Regions.
However, the Western Regions were part of the territory of the Han Empire. In order to keep the Western Regions and the Silk Road, many wars had to be launched in the Western Regions.
The battle between the Han Empire and the Xiongnu was either in the Western Regions, or in Monan and Mobei. The Huns seem to be strong, but in fact, in the later period, most of the Han troops were attacking.
"Protect the arquebus!"
Xia Liang was worried that Shenjiying's expensive matchlock guns would lose their durability due to the impact of sand and gravel, so he ordered Shenjiying to stop preparing for shooting to ensure that sand and dust would not enter the barrel of the matchlock gun.
"The whole army, attack!"
Taking advantage of the wind, Temujin's army speeded up their march and charged the army of the Han Empire. The horses were galloping, and the dust was flying!
