Chapter 574 Qin Liangyu
On the city wall of Cheshi King City, both Huo Qing and the nobles of Cheshi Kingdom witnessed this battle that determined the fate of Cheshi Kingdom.
When Temujin took advantage of the strong wind and dust to launch an attack, they couldn't help sweating for the Han army, but now, the Han army seems to have started to fight back?
"Sure enough, they can rescue brother..."
Huo Qing saw that the Han army pushed back, Xue's army was defeated and returned, Temujin retreated in an all-round way, and the Han army went to chase and kill them again, so he was full of confidence in resolving the siege of Luntai City.
The 500,000 expeditionary force, only 150,000 have come so far, has been able to repel Temujin's siege of Cheshi Kingdom, so after the arrival of all the 500,000 expeditionary force, it should be able to successfully lift the siege of Luntai by the Mongolian army.
If it wasn't for the high cost of the teleportation array, and the fact that the Western Regions Protectorate could no longer provide food, grass and weapons for more expeditionary troops, perhaps Chutian and the others would consider recruiting more expeditionary troops to the Western Regions.
"Sure enough, the Han Empire is still the same Han Empire. Fortunately, we are on the right side."
The nobles of the Cheshi Kingdom couldn't help but rejoice in private.
If they rebelled temporarily, they would be the next one to deal with after the Han army defeated Temujin's army.
When the victorious Han army entered the city, the nobles of the Cheshi Kingdom bowed their heads, not even daring to look directly at this group of victorious princes and generals.
The great battle under the city made all the vacillating nobles of the Cheshi Kingdom firmly stand in the camp of the Han Empire.
Tiemuzhen was timid of Xue's army and was defeated by the expeditionary army!
Borhu, one of the four cowards, died in battle, and the Han army captured thousands of people. Among them, Borhu's body was buried in Che Shiguo, deterring everyone in Cheshiguo, and Cheshiguo became Huo Qing's staunch supporter.
Temujin was chased and killed for three hundred miles, and his troops were divided into more than ten groups, fleeing to Yanqi country.
The Han army is not yet ready for the expedition to Luntai, and both food and routes must be planned.
In addition to Temujin's army, the cavalry of Okuotai and Yelu Dashi were also active near Luntai.
"Shenji Battalion..."
Jiujiu old Qin knew that Chutian forces had such a special unit in the battle of Hebei. The Shenji Battalion equipped with matchlock guns is definitely a dangerous enemy.
At present, the northern princes are joining hands to resist the threat from the northern nomadic civilization, but after the end of the Fourth National War, these princes may become enemies, so the Shenji Battalion may become a terrible opponent.
"A total of 37 people from Qixue's army were captured."
Chutian's army captured a group of Mongolian cavalry from Mobei in this battle, including Temujin's most elite Kexue army.
Most of the captives were ordinary Mongolian light cavalry or Mongolian iron cavalry, and there were only a few Qixue troops.
Compared with ordinary cavalry, the number of Qixue troops is small, and most of them would rather die in battle than surrender. It is quite rare to be able to capture 37 Qixue troops alive.
In addition, Chutian captured about 3,000 Mongolian cavalry alive, including light cavalry, heavy cavalry, and dozens of Tanmachi.
At this time, Chutian's "Heavenly Khan" feature was used to recruit and surrender some unsteady Mongolian cavalry, including more than a dozen Qixue troops.
A dozen cavalrymen of the Qixue army did not improve the combat effectiveness of the Han army much, but they could provide Chutian and others with information about the Qixue army.
Understanding the characteristics of the Kexue army is very important for fighting Temujin's Kexue army in the future.

The Qixue army is the ninth-rank cavalry...
Chu Tian could imagine that after all, the Qi Xue Army defeated Song Chongbu and the Niangzi Army in this battle. If the Tiger Guards, Cavalier Army, and Huben Army hadn't stepped forward to stop them and were killed by the Qi Xue Army, the consequences would have been disastrous.
Chu Tian informed Lao Qin, Xu Fengnian and others of the attributes of cowardly Xue Jun, asking them to be careful.
These princes have experienced hundreds of battles, and they are very clear about the various bonuses of "Lord". In the final battle, they will basically calculate their own probability of winning.
Of course, sometimes, even if the winning rate is only 10%, you have to be forced to go into battle.
The next day, Mu Ke, the lord of Nanzhong, led a 30,000 Nanman army to meet Chu Tian, Lao Qin, Xu Fengnian and others.
This time Mu Ke brought the general she recruited, a female general, with a spear.
Like the previous national wars and epic battles, Mu Ke dispatched the characteristic arms of the Nanzhong region-the Rattan Armored Soldiers.
The recruitment conditions for rattan armor soldiers are relatively harsh, requiring soldiers from the Nanzhong area, as well as a special armor produced in Nanzhong, the rattan armor.
As long as the Mongolian cavalry did not discover the weakness of the rattan armored soldiers, the rattan armored soldiers could be regarded as seventh-tier light infantry/heavy infantry.
Mu Ke also brought cumbersome war elephants, about twenty of them, ninth-rank special arms, which can even kill generals.
The civilians of the Cheshi Kingdom were already somewhat surprised by the arrival of the Han Empire Expeditionary Army, but the arrival of the weird rattan armored soldiers at this time attracted the attention of the civilians of the Cheshi Kingdom.
It turns out that armor made of rattan can also be used as armor?
Behind the rattan armored soldiers, there was a group of infantrymen equipped with white guns. Many of these soldiers from the Nanzhong area were wrapped in earthen cloth and barefoot. The equipment may seem simple, but it has a fierce aura.
Mu Ke came to Huo Qing in a hurry because she was worried about Huo An.
Chu Tian and the others all knew Mu Ke, and when they saw her coming, they all nodded their heads.
Mu Ke was not polite, and asked directly: "How is Luntai City?"
"A cavalryman escaped from Luntai City, claiming that Luntai City was besieged by more than 100,000 cavalrymen. I don't know if it's true or not."
"If there are only 100,000 cavalry, that's fine."
Mu Ke calmed down a little.
Luntai City must have the defenders of the Protectorate of the Western Regions. This time, the Han Empire directly sent 500,000 expeditionary troops. Even if a battle broke out with Temujin in Cheshi Kingdom and lost tens of thousands, they could still get supplements from the pass. .
As long as the teleportation array of Che Shi Kingdom is kept, the soldiers, horses, food and grass in the pass can be continuously transported here.
Chu Tian's gaze noticed the two generals behind Mu Ke, one of them was a heroic female general, and the other was more than two meters tall, so that the female general and Mu Ke looked like little ones in front of this tall general.
Not only Chu Tian, Lao Qin, Xu Fengnian, and Huo Qing all noticed the two generals brought by Mu Ke.
The fierce general like a giant is Wu Tugu, the fierce general of the Nanban. He seems to have not yet grown up, and he is still growing...
Wu Tugu is the next king of a small country in Nanman, and he has a special type of vine-armored soldiers.
At this time, Wu Tugu has not yet reached its peak.
Chu Tian and the others had seen Wu Tugu before, so they didn't take it seriously. What they were really curious about was the female general brought by Mu Ke, which had never been seen before.
There are naturally many historical generals in the Nanzhong area.
Mu Ke could probably sense the curiosity of the other princes, so he replied, "Qin Liangyu."
It turned out to be Qin Liangyu!
Chu Tian was slightly surprised in his heart.
Qin Liangyu, the only official female general in history.
Hua Mulan is a character in Mulan Ci, Mu Guiying and Fan Lihua are fictional heroes, Li Xiuning is considered a princess and cannot be counted as a general, and Liang Hongyu's words are actually more about assisting Han Shizhong.
But Qin Liangyu was a general who really led troops to fight and was included in Ming history!
Its special arms are white pole soldiers.
That is to say, in order to save Huo An, Mu Ke brought all the rattan armored soldiers and Qin Liangyu's white soldiers from the Nanzhong area!
It can be seen that Mu Ke seriously injured Huo An.
"There have been quite a few rebellions in the Nanban area, right?"
Chu Tian worried that Mu Ke's territory would be shaken by the rise of the barbarians.
Rattan armored soldiers and white rod soldiers are already one of the few elites in Mu Ke's hands. If she transfers all the elites from the Nanzhong region to the Western Regions, then the Nanzhong region may be occupied by the Nanman tribe.
In a sense, both Mu Ke and Huo An are a little... crazy.
"There are generals and legions guarding the Nanzhong area. Those barbarian tribes, after I wiped out the seventy-one strongholds, don't dare to mess around for the time being."
Mu Ke is also a ruthless person. He directly wiped out seventy-one cottages and moved more than two hundred thousand people to the sphere of influence under his control.
"Compared to the Southern Barbarian rebellion in Yizhou, Liu Bei, Zhang Dao, Liu An, Liu Yan, Yang Shilang and others fought in Yizhou, causing chaos. The damage they caused to Yizhou was far more serious than the damage caused by the rise of the barbarians. ..."
Mu Ke found a seat and sat down, while Qin Liangyu and Wu Tugu stood behind him.
Just as the other princes were interested in her, Qin Liangyu was also very curious about these people.
Her eyes fell on Hua Mulan who was following Chutian.
Female generals are rarely seen.
When Qin Liangyu was in Muke's forces, he met Wu Tugu, King Mulu and other generals with strange looks. Meng Huo and Mrs. Zhu Rong were still kids at this time, so Qin Liangyu was very interested in the female generals behind Chu Tian, just like It is to see your own shadow.
Hua Mulan noticed that Qin Liangyu was staring at her, and also looked back at Qin Liangyu.
Qin Liangyu's martial strength does not seem to be low.
"This person should be a general with both martial arts..."
Chu Tian knew that Qin Liangyu was a bit extraordinary.
In "The Lord", the data of female generals is generally high. Compared with Hua Mulan, Qin Liangyu is more inclined to the type of Joan of Arc, and has a relatively high commander value.
"Since sister Mu Ke is here, we can prepare for the rescue of Luntai."
Huo Qing clapped his hands, and the Han soldiers of the Protectorate of the Western Regions spread out a roll of maps in front of everyone.
"From Cheshi Kingdom to Luntai, passing through Yanqi Kingdom. The direction Temujin attacked was Yanqi Kingdom. We may fight Temujin again in Yanqi Kingdom. This time he may summon troops from Mobei, Al Mount Tai, the cavalry of other Khanates. It will be a larger-scale decisive battle, and it will determine whether we can successfully relieve the siege of Luntai City, and we must do our best."
"Temujin may also choose to fight in Luntai."
Huo Qing was quite clear about the situation.
Temujin's invasion of Cheshi State was just his attempt to cut off the teleportation array of Cheshi State.
Behind Temujin, there are other Khanates, even reinforcements from Mobei.
Regardless of whether Temujin assembled his forces in Yanqi or Luntai, the expeditionary force of the Han Empire had no choice but to march towards Luntai City.
"We need to leave a part of our troops to defend Cheshi Kingdom, to prevent Temujin from sending a team of cavalry to attack Cheshi Kingdom and trap our 500,000 troops to death in the Western Regions."
"Furthermore, the march of 500,000 troops requires too much water, which may not be sufficient. Many supplies have to come from Cheshi Kingdom and the pass."
"We still need a team of guides to lead us to march towards Luntai, otherwise we might get lost and encounter an ambush on the way."
"I have lived with my brother at the southern foot of Tianshan Mountain for several years, and I am familiar with the terrain here, so I can act as a guide."
After discussing the detailed deployment of the march, the princes of the Han Empire went down to rest.
Chu Tian returned to his camp.
For this expedition, he sent the most soldiers and horses. After all, he has the largest force. According to the proportion, the soldiers and horses sent by the various princes are actually equal.
Seeing Qin Liangyu just now, Chu Tian suddenly thought that he had not made Joan of Arc his allegiance.
Now Joan of Arc is no longer clamoring to return to France, after all, she has nothing in France. But Joan of Arc is clamoring for a baby now...
"Show allegiance to me."
Chu Tian was straightforward and wanted to see the panel of Joan of Arc.
As a popular hero in France and even in the West, Joan of Arc should not be bad on the panel. If there is no saint level, the emperor level should not be able to escape, otherwise the French will not be happy.
It can't be dignified that the most popular hero in France is not yet at the imperial level...
There are dozens of emperor-level heroes in the Eastern Han Dynasty, breaking through a hundred.
"Allegiance? Is this a strange way to play?"
Joan of Arc thought that what Chu Tian was discussing was a strange hobby, and pinched the corner of her clothes uneasily.
"It's a military general, and he will be loyal to the lord normally."
Chu Tian was speechless. It is estimated that Joan of Arc has been taught by Xia Liang.
"Ding! The imperial hero Joan of Arc pledges allegiance to you."
Chu Tian could finally see the panel of Joan of Arc.
[Name]: Jeanne Darke (Jeanne d'Arc)
[Talent]: Imperial Commander (step/cavalry)
【Level】: 65
[Identity]: French legendary hero, reverser of the Hundred Years War between England and France
【Age】: 21
【Loyalty】: 100
[Status]: healthy/pregnant
【Commander】: 97*
【Force】: 93
[Intelligence]: 70
[Politics]: 32
【Charm】: 98
[phase]: integrity
[favorability]: 100
[Characteristic 1]: St. Joan of Arc (SSS-level exclusive halo feature of the whole army, on the battlefield, all attributes of the force legion and allies +5%, morale decline speed -10%; can actively activate the morale recovery effect, the morale of the force legion and allies + 25%, the morale recovery effect does not conflict with other auras of the whole army; the frenzy effect can be activated actively, the soldiers who are in frenzy, the perception of pain -50%, attack power +15%, after the frenzy state ends, the morale -40%; morale The number of soldiers that can be added to the recovery effect and frenzy effect is proportional to the command value)
[Characteristic 2]: Iris of France (SS-level feature, when leading a French troop, all French troop attributes +15%, fighting spirit +15%, morale decline speed -15%)
[Characteristic 3]: Witch (S-level feature, the witch in the eyes of the English, the legion's damage to English troops will increase by 20%)
[Characteristic 4]: Enlightenment (A-level characteristic, legion morale +20%, easy to make favorable decisions)
[Special arms]: French National Defense Army (5th-tier light infantry, 30,000 in number, designated source of troops-French peasants, no equipment requirements, one-month recruitment period, equivalent to a special high-level peasant army)
As long as you go to France to recruit farmers, you can recruit special troops for Joan of Arc. The conditions are much more relaxed than King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table. You don't even need good equipment. The recruitment period is short, and the frenzy effect is matched with the French National Defense Army. What a good cannon fodder!
In the future, you can try to go to France to lure a group of farmers to come to the Eastern Han Dynasty and transfer them to special arms.
When Chu Tian checked the panel of Joan of Arc, he found that there seemed to be something wrong...
"My lord, is there something wrong?"
Joan of Arc seemed completely unaware.
—————
*In "Lord", the number of heroes of Western civilization added together, the number of emperors should be similar to that of the Eastern Han Dynasty, because the population base and the length of history are similar. The exception is the Mughals of India, which have a large population.
