Chapter 699 Attacking the Hun Empire
Outside St. Petersburg, Chutian had already learned that the Second World War between Attila and the Western lords was imminent, and immediately invaded the territory of the Hunnic Empire with Ekaterina!
When they were preparing for the military battle between the two camps, they had already assembled on the border between the Tsarist Russian Empire and the Hunnic Empire. As long as Attila dared to start a war with the Western lords, then it was the time for Chutian to attack the capital of the Hunnic Empire.
"Attila must have noticed that we are going to raid his capital, but he still decided to go to war with the lords in the west, which shows that he has a lot of confidence in holding the capital..."
When Chutian entered the territory of the Hunnic Empire, he realized that Attila had left a means.
Attila usually uses Bleda and the Ostrogothic king as thugs, and it is rare to hear what generals Attila used.
"The capital of the Hungarian Empire has declared martial law after Attila's expedition, and deployed a large army in a town near the capital, forming horns with the capital, hoarding at least more than 100,000 soldiers, trying to break the capital of the Hungarian Empire, It’s unimaginably difficult.”
Ekaterina was with Chutian's main force.
Even if she becomes the Tsar, she still likes to lead the cavalry to the front.
"If you can't capture the city, then you might as well plunder the surrounding towns to see if it can lure the enemy. Or, if Attila is defeated in front, the defenders of the capital of the Hunnic Empire are shaken and the city surrenders."
Chu Tian reckoned that Attila and Temujin were in a bit of a panic this time. They completely angered the European kings or lords, so that French and Spanish civilizations also entered the war, and Rome even dispatched a group of servants from North Africa to join the war.
Once Attila is defeated, the Western lords will crazily carve up the territory of the Hunnic Empire, so Chutian can snatch the gold and silver of the Hunnic Empire in advance. The Kingdom of Macedon and the Holy Roman Empire expanded to the east.
"Let's go, break into the territory of the Hun Empire!"
Chu Tian commanded the cavalry and galloped across the vast Ukrainian plains. The land here was extremely vast. The cavalry of the Hunnic Empire could not defend such a vast land at all, and there were flaws everywhere.
Joan of Arc held the holy flag and followed Chu Tian. She looked in the direction of France.
In this war, the lords of France have already participated in the war. Joan of Arc is now completely free, but she has no intention of returning to France. She has now completely settled down in another civilized area.
Fan Lihua was the first commander of the Xiliang iron cavalry, and came from the Central Plains to participate in this operation.
The Four Great Heroines gather to trigger the "Four Great Heroines" effect. Hua Mulan, Mu Guiying, Fan Lihua, and Liang Hongyu's commanders +2, force +1, army attack, defense, and mobility +7% extra!
All the generals who participated in sweeping the rear of the Hunnic Empire were equipped with horses, and even heavy infantry and crossbowmen could gain mobility.
Chutian and Ekaterina, as the main force, drove straight in from the front, while the white-robed army and Cossack cavalry broke through from the other two directions, plundering gold and silver along the way.
Even if it is impossible to break through the capital of the Hunnic Empire, occupy some towns, or plunder tens of thousands of taels of gold, it can still make up for the loss.
The cavalry in the east divided into three groups, and successively broke through several towns in the east of the Hun Empire, while the 100,000 soldiers of the Hun Empire hoarded at the border were huddled in the fortress, not daring to move.
Outside a fortress where 30,000 soldiers of the Hungarian Empire had been hoarded, the windy white-robed cavalry floated by like white clouds. supplies.
"Quickly, inform Wang Cheng that the Eastern cavalry is attacking!"
The defenders of the fort immediately lit the beacon and sent cavalry to inform the capital of the Hunnic Empire.
"The Easterners, the cavalry of the Easterners, they are as expected by His Majesty, when His Majesty is unable to separate,
Attack our rear! "
Bleda did not march west with Attila, but stayed in the royal city that was crucial to Attila.
Once the capital of the Hunnic Empire was breached by Chutian, Attila would not be able to bear the punishment of the capital being breached, and the entire Hunnic Empire would quickly disintegrate as a result.
Because Temujin lost Hara and Lin, the whole Mobei was instantly in chaos.
Bleda heard that it was the Chutian of the Han Empire who attacked again. As a defeated general, he couldn't help but feel very nervous, and he didn't even dare to send troops to meet the enemy for a while.
"His cavalry is almost irresistible. I will stick to this city and remain unchanged. No matter how cunning the eastern cavalry is, it is impossible for me to be shaken."
Bleda thought of a universal strategy, which was to use the tortoise tactic to delay until Attila and others defeated the western lords—on the premise that Attila and others could defeat the coalition forces of the western lords.
Attila built a fortress on the outskirts of the royal city, which became horns with the royal city. In the fortress, Attila left three generals. When the capital of the Hunnic Empire was in danger, Attila reminded Bleda , you can enable this legion.
Bleda recruited three generals: "Your Majesty trusts you very much, so I asked you to command an army of 70,000 and set up another fort outside the city to delay the enemy's attack. I hope you will not let me or Your Majesty down."
The leading general only had one eye left, and he looked at Bleda with some determination and fierceness in his eyes: "Your Majesty, go to destroy the old order and establish a new one. Live up to His Majesty's expectations."
The other two generals said: "Our brotherhood will assist the commander in defending the fortress outside the city. The attacking party will face the attack of the two cities and will be exhausted."
"Very good, as long as you successfully defend the royal city, you and your descendants will have inexhaustible and inexhaustible wealth in the future."
Breda tries to use gold and silver to win over the three.
He was scrutinized by the one-eyed general, and he felt a little hairy in his heart.
The general left behind by Attila should not be extraordinary, and his ability may even be higher than that of Bleda.
Brada was appointed by Attila to defend the capital of the Hunnic Empire. The ability is not the most important thing, but the loyalty. As for marching and fighting, a group of generals can serve as thugs.
In the territory of the Hungarian Empire, a group of Hungarian cavalry was attacked by white-robed cavalry on the way. Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun broke into the enemy's formation without saying a word, defeated the Hungarian cavalry in one fell swoop, beheaded thousands of people, and the rest of the Hungarian cavalry scattered in all directions.
"There is no need to chase, we try to seize gold and silver. The remaining Hun cavalry will be a headache for the Westerners."
Chen Qingzhi didn't spend energy chasing and killing the fleeing Hun cavalry, otherwise it would take a lot of time.
Their goal was to occupy the surrounding cities during the march, and then plunder them before going to the king city of the Hun Empire to join Chutian.
After the White Robe Legion passed by, a group of cavalry arrived on the battlefield to check on the Hun cavalry who had been killed by the White Robe Legion.
"There is a large difference in the death rate between the two sides. This must be the elite cavalry from the east... They have already invaded this place, and the target should be the king's city... I came a step late. Maybe I shouldn't confront them. I can only defend and wait. opportunity."
The incoming cavalry generals observed the battlefield, deduced that the White Robe Legion was not an ordinary cavalry, and gave up the idea of chasing the White Robe Legion.
Otherwise, if you pursue rashly, you may be killed by the White Robe Legion.
"Is this cavalry the main force of King Xia of the Han Empire?"
The cavalry general recruited by Attila was in doubt, and it was difficult to tell which cavalry was the main cavalry led by Chu Tian himself.
...
In Monan Dragon City, Li Mu returned to this city with all his blood.
He was ordered to conquer the Lake Baikal region, capture the city of Irkutsk, and basically control the Lake Baikal region. However, it is not difficult to occupy a city with few troops. The real difficulty is to conquer the local tribes and establish a new ruling order.
Li Mu spent a lot of time controlling the local tribes in the area around Irkutsk, but at this time the Huns tribes in Monan and Mobei became active, and Chutian had to call back Li Mu, who was familiar with Monan, to be responsible for defending the Monan grassland. .
Li Mu had fought against the Huns in history, so Chutian specially transferred Li Mu to deal with the Huns, and disgusted the Huns tribe.
Lu Su returned to Monan Dragon City with Yelu Xiezhen who had taken refuge, and everyone in the city looked at Yelu Xiezhen with some surprises.
Yelu Xiezhen was a general of the Khitan civilization. Not long ago, the two sides were still fighting in the Mobei Grassland.
But now, Yelu Xiezhen took the initiative to come to attach himself, so it can only be said that the world is impermanent.
Lu Su resettled the remaining Khitan tribe remnant population.
The Khitan tribe was originally considered a powerful tribe, but the luck of the Khitan tribe was not very good. They were attacked many times and suffered heavy losses.
Because the Khitan tribe has become a rare tribe, Lu Su settled it without any difficulty. With the current population of the Khitan tribe, it would be easy to assimilate, and then there would be no such thing as the Khitan tribe.
"I need a cavalry, go and hunt down the cavalry of the Huns!"
Yelu Xiezhen couldn't help being angry when he thought that many people of his tribe had been taken away by the Huns cavalry, and Xiao Siwen and Yeluxiu were still alive or dead.
After Lu Su resettled the surviving Khitan tribe, he appeased the Khitan general. Yelu Xiezhen's ability is still top-notch, and he and Yeluxiu are the second commander of Khitan, but his anger temporarily blinded Yelu Xiezhen's reason: "Since you know it's the Huns The cavalry attacked your tribe, so it is easy to find out the news of the Xiongnu tribe. Trust our scouts, they will find out the whereabouts of Xiao Siwen and Brother Yeluxiu as soon as possible. If Xiao Siwen and Brother Yeluxiu are still alive, we can still find a way Get it out."
After hearing what Lu Su said, Yelu Xiezhen calmed down a little: "You mean, Xiao Siwen and Brother Yeluxiu are still alive?"
"It's not impossible, otherwise we would have found their bodies. Maybe they still have value."
Lu Su knew that Xiao Siwen and Yeluxiu were considered important civil servants and generals of the Khitan civilization. If the Xiongnu tribe wanted to build an empire, they might need a group of civil servants and generals.
The heroes of the Khitan tribe are more acceptable to the Huns.
"Yelu Xiezhen, isn't this a Khitan general?"
Li Mu has been active in Lake Baikal for a long time, and he didn't know what happened to the Khitan tribe. He was somewhat surprised to see Yelu Xiezhen appearing in his camp.
Not long ago, the two sides fought to the death.
"If King Liao hadn't died in battle, I wouldn't have come here to seek refuge."
Yelu Xiezhen confronted Li Mu tit for tat.
But Li Mu quickly thought it didn't matter, after all the Khitan tribe would disappear soon after being dispersed.
"The Huns have begun to conquer the various tribes in Mobei and Monan. The Shanyu of the Huns is trying to occupy Monan and Mobei, replacing the original Temujin and becoming the new grassland overlord..."
Lu Su explained the current situation to Li Mu who came back.
Li Mu was also ordered in the face of danger. Commanders such as Yue Fei, Wei Qing, Cao Cao, and Le Yi had enemies that they needed to guard against.
At present, Li Mu has no enemies, and he has to shoulder the heavy responsibility of defending the Monan Grassland.
The area of the Monan Grassland is too vast, and it is extremely difficult to capture the main force of the Huns cavalry.
Li Mu suddenly thought of something: "The Southern Xiongnu tribe in Bingzhou is also a branch of the Xiongnu. We need to send scouts to monitor their every move."
After being reminded by Li Mu, Lu Su somewhat ignored the unstable factor of the Southern Huns.
The Southern Huns were arranged by Chutian to monitor the Tuoba Xianbei tribe in Helan Mountain, and by the way, they herded sheep and raised war horses on the Ordos Plateau.
If no new Xiongnu Shanyu appeared, such an arrangement would be no problem, but if a new Xiongnu Shanyu appeared on the grassland, then the Southern Xiongnu might not remain loyal.
The southern Xiongnu took refuge in Chutian's forces, but they were only afraid of Chutian's strength.
"Immediately send people to Bingzhou to monitor the Southern Huns tribe."
Lu Su was reminded by Li Mu and immediately informed the relevant scouts to go to Bingzhou to monitor every move of the Southern Xiongnu tribe.
