Chapter 584 Temujin and Chagatai Allied Forces
All the expeditionary forces assembled in Yanqi Kingdom, regained their strength, filled the water bag with clean water, and embarked on the expedition to Luntai again.
This time, Chu Tian left part of the troops of the Leyi Legion, and then used the teleportation array of the Yanqi Kingdom to dispatch the five sons of Liang Jiangjin who were located in Jizhou to arrive at the Yanqi Kingdom to command this part of the troops and defend the Yanqi Kingdom.
Currently, the Expeditionary Force of the Han Empire controls Cheshi State and Yanqi State, and has a total of two teleportation arrays, and the Expeditionary Force of the Han Empire receives a steady stream of supplies.
If there is no teleportation array, it will be more difficult for the expeditionary force to march.
The troops were allocated to Xu Fengnian to support Luntai City, and some troops were left to defend the Yanqi Kingdom. In addition to the soldiers and horses lost in the small-scale battles with Temujin and Subotai, the 400,000 expeditionary army became a 300,000 expeditionary army.
Although the scale of the expeditionary army has shrunk, the defense of Luntai City is stronger, and it is safer for the expeditionary army to obtain retreat routes such as Yanqi Kingdom and Cheshi Kingdom.
"The yellow sand wears golden armor in a hundred battles..."
Chu Tian found that part of the durability of his armor had dropped.
Chu Tian himself did not go into battle to kill the enemy himself, and the durability of the equipment was partially worn down by the yellow sand.
Sure enough, the Yellow Sand Hundred Battles can really wear golden armor.
"Sister Joan of Arc is becoming more and more obvious... After Luntai City is recovered, she can no longer be allowed to fight."
Xia Liang and Hua Mulan found out that Joan of Arc had a child and was on an expedition at this time, so it was not safe.
Chu Tian nodded, and had no choice but to see Joan of Arc actively following beside her.
And the expeditionary force of the Han Empire needed some of her abilities.
Even a 1% bonus might be able to reverse the situation at a critical moment.
Huo Qing came over on horseback and said to Chu Tian: "Between Yanqi Kingdom and Luntai City, near the Taklamakan Desert, according to past practice, maybe Temujin will make a comeback, and this time, he will bring at least one Khanate of troops."
Huo Qing followed the princes of the Han Empire, and after two wars, he also understood Temujin's tactics. Temujin often used sand and dust to launch surprise attacks, and used the mobility of cavalry to attack and retreat to consume the expeditionary forces of the Han Empire.
Sun Bin said: "Maybe Temujin will wait for us at the end of the desert. When we cross the desert, both morale and physical strength have declined, and the water source has dried up. We must fight as soon as possible. When the time comes, it will be Temujin's decisive opportunity. "
"Whether Temujin chooses to wait for us in the desert or at the end of the desert, all are on alert. The temperature seems to be getting lower and lower. If the battle continues, more and more soldiers and horses will be frozen to death."
Chutian realized that the temperature dropped sharply, and the climate was extremely unfavorable for the expeditionary force from the pass.
If it was the Liaodong Army of Mingguan, it might be able to withstand the harsh winter of the Western Regions, but few soldiers who came from the Central Plains and Guanzhong could adapt to the harsh winter of the Western Regions.
The most uncomfortable thing is Mu Ke's South Central Army Corps. The local area is hot and rainy all the year round, and they have never seen snow. The cold winter in Tianshan Mountain may make the South Central Army Corps' combat power plummet.
The climate has a great influence on the combat power of the legion. In history, the Mongolian cavalry attacked the Indochina Peninsula and failed because they could not bear the hot climate in the jungle.
Winter in the Tianshan Mountains is approaching.
After staying in Yujin to defend the Yanqi Kingdom, the 300,000 expeditionary force passed the edge of the desert.
At night, the temperature dropped sharply, and the expeditionary army built a fire in the desert to keep warm. Because of the special treatment, Joan of Arc was able to rub against Chu Tian's side and lean on Chu Tian's shoulder.
Even if it is cool in summer, Joan of Arc will be allowed at this time.
Huo Qing stirred up the burning firewood with a branch, his eyes drifted, because he was worried about Huo An's safety, he lost his mind for a while.
Sitting next to Huo Qing, Mu Ke was also absent-minded.
Jiu Jiu Lao Qin's face was a little haggard.
According to Jiujiu Lao Qin, he was not very willing to participate in this expedition, as it seemed that he could not bear the climate here.
Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun led the white-robed cavalry to investigate fifty miles ahead and returned without encountering the enemy.
Dian Wei led the patrol of the Tiger Guards, and Yang Dayan, who was also in charge of patrolling, stared at each other with big eyes.
Although Yang Big Eye is called Big Eye, his eyes are not as big as Dian Wei's.
The two fierce generals are their own masters, and they don't like each other.
Qin Liangyu is talking with Hua Mulan, and the two seem to get along very well. When Qin Liangyu mentioned Chutian, Hua Mulan would always look at Chutian from time to time, and now Hua Mulan was talking about her own daughter.
In the past, Hua Mulan was very cold and not good at talking. Under Xia Liang's training, she finally became a normal person and established friendship with Qin Liangyu.
Chu Tian is also willing to let Hua Mulan and Qin Liangyu become friends, and then he can abduct Qin Liangyu without bloodshed...
Wang Xuance, Huo Qubing, Li Siye, Zhao Ponu and other generals of the Protectorate of the Western Regions gathered in a small circle, and most of the discussions were about breaking the siege of Luntai City.
They have a strong sense of belonging to the Protectorate of the Western Regions. Even though there are only two lands left in the Protectorate of the Western Regions, Luntai and Cheshi, they did not take refuge in the Mongol Empire.
All the soldiers realized that the decisive battle with Temujin might break out on the edge of the desert or at the end of the wilderness.
In the Battle of Mobei, Yizhixie Shanyu, the Hun, chose the time for a decisive battle with the Han army, just as the Han army left the Gobi.
Therefore, everyone is recharging their energy and recharging their energy, preparing for the final decisive battle with Temujin on his expedition to the Western Regions.
After winning, the soldiers of the expeditionary army can return to the Han Empire to recuperate.
Lost, outside Luntai city, corpses littered the field, and the 300,000 expeditionary army was wiped out, becoming food for vultures.
"If the battle is defeated, I am willing to follow the lord to die in battle."
Joan of Arc whispered to Chu Tian.
"The decisive battle has not yet begun, so don't say such unlucky words..."
Chutian had no plans of defeat.
The Han Empire had an expeditionary force of 300,000, and Luntai City still had tens of thousands of elites. The Mongol Empire had to besiege Luntai City at the same time, and fight a decisive battle with the Han Empire's expeditionary force, investing more troops.
In addition, Chutian left a move, which may not fail.
"I was wrong……"
Joan of Arc is also unwilling to fail, after all, the child has not yet been born...
Xia Liang looked at Chu Tian with fiery eyes, and Chu Tian felt her wolf-like eyes, probably saw that Joan of Arc had a child and wanted a second child...
What a competitive woman.
Dealing with Temujin was more strenuous, and Chu Tian found that he was really powerless.
It was cold at night in the Tianshan Mountains, and the Han army was resting in tents.
The next day, when a ray of sunlight crossed the foothills and projected into the camp of the Han army, 300,000 Han troops embarked on an expedition again.
The war eagle soars in the sky, the banners cover the sky, the gold and the iron horse, swallow thousands of miles like a tiger!
On the edge of the Taklamakan Desert, the coalition forces of Temujin and the Chagatai Khanate, with more than 300,000 cavalry, blocked the Han army from the front, while behind the expeditionary force of the Han Empire, Subotai's cavalry followed the Han army like ghosts.
Countless Mongolian cavalry and Central Asian cavalry assembled, and the Chagatai Khanate brought a large number of camels and pack horses. In Central Asia, both camels and pack horses are not uncommon.
A commander of the Chagatai Khanate led a team of cavalry on patrol. This commander had a resolute face. Although his status was not high in the Chagatai Khanate, which had more than 100,000 troops, he relied on his military exploits to climb the ranks step by step. The position of commander-in-chief.
In the Battle of the Ili River Valley, he was in charge of a hundred households, led more than a hundred Mongolian cavalry, and beheaded five hundred. He contributed his part to the Chagatai Khanate's victory over the Central Asian coalition forces, and was promoted to a thousand households with military exploits.
"The position of a thousand households cannot give full play to my talents. Give me tens of thousands of cavalry, and maybe I can help the Great Khan win."
The young commander of the Chagatai Khanate seemed extremely confident in his abilities.
Chagatai, the khan of the Chagatai Khanate, didn't pay much attention to this newly promoted commander.
Under Chagatai's command, there are currently more than ten thousand households, more than a hundred thousand households, and a new thousand households will not attract Chagatai's attention.
Chagatai, at this time, was with Temujin, gathering troops and recharging their energy.
As for Wokuotai and Yelu Dashi, they launched a fierce offensive against Luntai City.
The Mongol Empire intends to achieve results in two ways - to capture Luntai City at the same time, and to annihilate the expeditionary force of the Han Empire!
With reinforcements from the Chagatai Khanate, Temujin strengthened his confidence and summoned generals such as Muhuali, Krasu, Ali Hague, Chilaowen, Borshu, and Monk Wanyanchen to stop the expeditionary force of the Han Empire.
Unlike the previous two temptations, Temujin had no way out.
Taking another step back, the expeditionary force of the Han Empire arrived in Luntai City, and the Mongol Empire's strategy of attacking the Protectorate of the Western Regions failed completely. The Six Nations will return to Huo An's rule.
Crassus led the Roman legions into battle.
The Roman Legion lost half of its troops in the Battle of Yumen Pass, leaving only more than 2,000 men. The Roman citizens in Mobei were sent to the Western Regions to supplement the losses of the Roman Legion.
Crassus' Roman legion barely regained its size, but its combat power declined due to the addition of new recruits.
"The scale of the war in the east has become more and more tragic. If this continues, maybe I will die in the east. I can't die here like this group of lunatics. I have to find a way to escape back to Rome..."
Crassus worked for Temujin for two years, thinking about fleeing back to Rome.
If Temujin hadn't sent a team of Mongolian soldiers to guard Crassus, perhaps Crassus would have found a way to return to Rome.
Crassus is different from Joan of Arc who was young and ignorant. As long as he has money, he has many means to return to Rome.
"All warriors, if you win this battle, you can get all the pastures, gold and silver, grain, women, cattle and sheep in the Western Regions!"
"Behead the enemy more than the loser, the head of the army will be crowned king, ten thousand households will be promoted to army commander, one thousand households will be promoted to ten thousand households, and one hundred households will be promoted to one thousand households!"
"Ordinary soldiers, those who kill five people will be promoted to a hundred households!"
"Servant army, those who kill the three will regain their freedom!"
Before the start of the decisive battle, Temujin raised the morale of the army and planned to distribute all the property in the Western Regions to the soldiers who participated in the battle, and at the same time to seal off officials in a big way!
Temujin's decision made more than 300,000 cavalry boil!
Those who have achieved outstanding feats in this battle can even become kings!
"Wanhu..." The young head of a thousand households of the Chagatai Khanate found a way to be promoted, and his fighting spirit was high. "As long as I kill more than a thousand troops, I will be a Wanhu."
