Chapter 607: The Beacon of Central Asia (Addendum 17/20)

In the Syr Darya Valley in Central Asia, the Seljuk Sultan of Tugril learned that Temujin was planning to attack him, and after being furious, the Tugril Sultan gathered 200,000 cavalry to resist the attack from the Chagatai Khanate on the Turan Plain, and waited for an opportunity to attack the Chagatai Khanate.

As a big man in the Seljuk Empire, Sultan Tugril has undisputed authority in the Seljuk Empire, and he needs an epic victory to re-establish his prestige!

Two hundred thousand Seljuk cavalry, many of them herdsmen, lined up on the edge of the Turan plain.

The neighing of war horses and the echoing of trumpets demonstrated the strength of the Seljuk Empire to the Chagatai Khanate.

Even after the crushing defeat in the battle of the Ili Valley, he Tugril Sultan was still the hegemon of Central Asia.

"Your Majesty, the Khorezmians have been subjected to the iron heel of Temujin under the pressure of the Ilkhanate and the Chagatai Khanate, and they are located in the southwest of us, so we must be careful to guard against the Khwarazm cavalry. If the Khwarazm cavalry take the opportunity to attack our empire, we will be at pain. ”

A young Seljuk nobleman, Alp Arslan, reminded his uncle, the great Sultan of Tugril.

"I have deployed 50,000 troops on the border to guard against the Khorezmians."

Sultan Tugril tried his best to control the slightly irritable warhorse, and wondered: "Strange, why is this little fellow restless lately?" ”

The Sultan's nephew, Arp looked to the opposite side, and at the end of the Turan Plain, a cavalry arrived on the snow, and the battle flag of the Chagatai Khanate was torn by the cold wind!

At present, the Chagatai Khanate, the Ilkhanate, and the Golden Horde have all issued orders to close the city, forming a fog of war for the five major civilizations, and the five major civilizations must deal with it carefully.

The five major civilizations also began to block the news, creating a fog of war effect on Temujin.

That is to say, the nine empires/khanates, divided into two camps, are testing each other, and at critical moments, showing their sharp fangs and devouring their opponents!

In the fourth national war, the battlefield of the Eastern Continent was extremely dangerous, and if you were not careful, you would die and the country would be destroyed.

Unlike the previous national wars, even if you lose, you can withdraw from the battlefield of the national war.

The battlefield of the Fourth National War is the main world, and there is no way to retreat, only to fight to the death.

"Your Majesty, it's the cavalry of the Chagatai Khanate!"

Alp, a young Seljuk nobleman, reminds the Sultan of Tugril, who is taming his war horse.

The Sultan of Tugril, who was old and bearded as white as snow, squinted his eyes and it took him a moment to see a thick black line on the horizon.

The winds that swept through the Turan Plain from time to time tore the robes, the snow fell, countless cavalry confronted each other, and there was a dead silence on the battlefield.

"Tugril, it is estimated that he is about to go into the ground, and he even dares to drive the expedition in person. With so many cavalry dispatched at one time, how can the grain and grass continue? ”

Timur led 30,000 cavalry of the Chagatai Khanate out of the Ili River valley on an expedition against the Seljuk Empire.

Chagatai began to reuse the Qianhu Timur, who had risen to prominence in the Great War of the Luntai Kingdom.

Now Timur was already the commander of the expeditionary forces of the Chagatai Khanate.

Originally, Chagatai planned to give Timur 50,000 cavalry, but Timur only asked for 30,000 cavalry.

According to Timur, even if Chagatai gave him 50,000 cavalry, in the cold winter, he would not be able to feed so many cavalry, and 30,000 was just right.

Moreover, the Chagatai Khanate needed to leave a large number of troops behind to defend against the threat from the Western Protectorate.

There are various indications that the expeditionary force of the Han Empire did not leave Luntai, but was still peeking at the royal city of the Hetai Khanate.

The cavalry of the Seljuk Empire and the Chagatai Khanate confronted each other on the plains, and the two sides were eyeing each other.

However, Timur did not take the initiative to attack, but was as cunning as a fox, wearing down the patience of the Seljuk army.

"Seljuk warriors, defeat this group of cavalry from the east, use their blood to pay tribute to the soldiers who died in the Ili River Valley, and get this victory, everyone can be rewarded!"

Sultan Tugril drew his saber and commanded the army to attack Timur's cavalry!

In his opinion, Timur only came to provoke the Seljuk Empire with only 30,000 cavalry, which was simply an insult to the Seljuk Empire!

Unless Timur thought that the Seljuk Empire could be destroyed with 30,000 cavalry!

The wind swept the scattered snowflakes, and the mighty Seljuk cavalry charged Timur's cavalry, and the troops divided into three ways to encircle Timur's cavalry!

"Withdraw!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Timur led the cavalry of the Chagatai Khanate and retreated without a fight.

"Catch up with them, kill them, and use their heads to ask me for a reward!"

The Sultan of Tugril hated the Chagatai Khanate to the core, and ordered the cavalry to go up and chase him!

Just in case, he sent only his nephew Arp to pursue Timur's cavalry, leaving tens of thousands of cavalry to protect him.

Even in his old age, he still retains a shred of caution.

……

Khorezm Kingdom, Sultan Mahamat was captured by Yelu Dashi in the Battle of the Ili River Valley, and was killed, Ögedai and Yelu Dashi entered this place, and the Khorezm Kingdom surrendered to Ogedai and Yelu Dashi.

The nobles of Khorezm, in order to preserve their position and interests, surrendered, but it still did not matter.

It is the emperor's business to change the dynasty, as long as Ogedai acknowledges their interests.

"Yelu Dashi, Ben Khan shares Khorezm with you, and you are the vice-king."

After being attacked by Hoanqi and destroying the khanate, Ögedei was rewarded with land and population by Temujin, and finally recovered.

Khorezm was sandwiched between the Ilkhanate, the Kushan Empire, the Seljuk Empire, the Chagatai Khanate, and the Western Regions Protectorate, and its position was actually quite awkward.

Therefore, Ögedei needs the talent of Jerodashi.

In the stage of power expansion, no one will refuse a military commander with the ability to command.

Jerodashi was assigned to Ogedei, and no one knew what was really going on in his heart.

Like Timur, Jerodashi was not an ordinary person.

"Open the teleportation array of Khorezm as soon as possible and defeat the Seljuk Empire, otherwise, we will be in a passive position."

Instead of being so excited, he advised Ogedei to follow Temujin's orders as soon as possible.

"Hmm...... Indeed, it was Ben Khan who regained his fiefdom and was too arrogant. ”

After all, Ögedai was not an ordinary prince, so he quickly restrained his excitement, respected Yelu Dashi, and then opened the teleportation array of a large city in the Khorezm Kingdom according to the plan.

Möngke of the Ilkhanate, led a dozen commanders out of the teleportation array, his eyes scanning the group of Khorezm soldiers in front of him.

"It turned out to be Meng Ge, I thought it would be Hülegü."

Ogedai knew that the sons of the fourth brother Tuo Lei had inherited Tuo Lei's military talents, and that the Mongol Empire established the country by force and advocated military conquest.

Among the sons of Tuolei, it should be Hülegü's military talent that is the strongest.

"Ogedei Khan, I will bring victory."

Möngke was not shaken by Ogedei's words.

"This military general should be the one who captured dozens of cities of the Persian Empire, and if he attacks the Seljuk Empire, with the city defense of the Seljuk Empire, it can be easily destroyed."

Wokotai looked at the siege generals brought by Meng Ge.

The siege generals will cooperate with the Xiangyang cannon and the siege tower, unless it is a top-level fortress, otherwise it will ......

"In three days, you can set off and attack the Seljuk Empire. Chagatai's forces had pinned down the old horseman in Tugril. Tugril also thought that by deploying tens of thousands of men on the border of Khorezm, he could defend his empire, but he was only wishful thinking. ”

Ögedei and Jerodashi gathered the Khwarazm cavalry, and Möngke brought the Persian Khorasan servant army.

……

"Lately, I've been a little uneasy."

After Wei Qing and Huo Qubing started their expedition, Chu Tian had a faint premonition of uneasiness, as if a storm would come.

It is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster.

Man-made disasters are more terrible than natural disasters.

"What's wrong with you?"

Ekaterina rubbed her eyes, she was honest in her current state.

"I can't sleep anymore, I have a bad premonition today."

Although Chu Tian wanted to make up for his debt to Catherine, he faintly sensed that an uneasy atmosphere was brewing.

"Humph......"

Catherine suspected that Chutian's real motive was to escape from the oppression.

"The Sultan of the Seljuk Empire claimed that there was a cavalry of the Chagatai Khanate that entered the eastern part of the Turan Plain controlled by the Seljuk Empire!"

However, he was really premonited by Chu Tian, and Temujin began to organize an offensive, trying to find a breakthrough in Central Asia and regain the initiative.

"Does he really have a premonition of danger?"

After Catherine changed her clothes, she was surprised to find that Chu Tian had guessed.

But in fact, Chu Tian just said it casually.

Although it is relatively leisurely in Luntai City, the territory is governed by civil ministers, and the soldiers and horses are trained by military generals, but in addition to the inconvenience of Joan of Arc, in summer, Liang, Mulan, and Catherine take turns to fight, and everyone is competitive, and Chutian can't bear it at all......

So find an excuse to slip away.

But this time it's really not good.

The Seljuk Empire is destroyed, and the alliance of the five civilizations will leave four civilizations.

"Temujin intended to be weak first and then strong."

"We can put appropriate pressure on the Golden Horde, the Chagatai Khanate, and the Ilkhanate."

"We can also start with the weak and then the strong, and comprehensively compress the territory of the three khanates."

"The Persian Empire, the Arab Empire, urge them to send troops."

"Catherine, you may have to return to the Grand Duchy of Moscow, take command of your legions, and test the attack on the Golden Horde and contain the forces of the Golden Horde. If you have the opportunity, with your power, you may be able to directly push the Golden Horde. ”

Chutian found that Catherine's family background was thicker than he imagined, Catherine not only had the heroes of the Grand Duchy of Moscow itself, but also Polish heroes, Viking heroes, etc., and the population of the territory was definitely quite large.

Not well, as long as the main forces of the Golden Horde leave, her legions can flatten the Golden Horde.
