Chapter 399: The Great War of the Six Kingdoms (5)
"Big brother, second brother is injured!"
Zhang Fei carried the injured Guan Yu and came to look for Liu Bei.
Because Guan Yu rushed to the front, he was attacked by hundreds of Mughal cavalry and was wounded by random arrows.
Liu Bei saw that his sworn brother was injured and immediately arranged for a doctor.
Not only Guan Yu, but Wang Tiegun was also injured in the battle and dyed red armor. His lord Xu Fengnian thought that Chu Tian had brought the divine doctor Hua Tuo, and immediately went to ask the divine doctor Hua Tuo to heal Wang Tielan's wounds.
Chu Tian had a good impression of Wang Tiegun, and he needed the lord of Longxi to contain Lao Qin, so he arranged for Hua Tuo to heal Wang Tiegun's injuries.
In order to defeat the million-strong army of the Mughal Empire, the Han army of the Middle Route and the Han Army of the Western Route paid the price of 100,000 casualties and lost a quarter of the troops.
That's a big deal.
Many exhausted generals simply lay on the ground, gasping for breath and recovering their strength.
Chu Tian was also tired.
He would rather bully smaller civilizations such as Goryeo and Dongying than be willing to fight with a large civilization like the Mughal Empire, where there are too many of them.
Joan of Arc finally got up in the middle of the night after recovering some of her strength, and found that Chu Tian had fallen asleep directly against the door panel.
While the Han army was seizing the time to rest, the princes of the Mughal Empire were trying their best to gather the rout, and each prince was accompanied by at least one or two thousand soldiers and horses. Two of the princes were killed in battle, and their generals and soldiers were divided among the other princes.
The bonfires were filled with black smoke, and the thirty-four surviving Mughal princes were disgraced, some of whom were limped by stray arrows as they fled.
The Han army destroyed a million-strong army in World War I, and if it weren't for the dark night without moonlight, more princes of the Mughal Empire would have been killed in the chaos.
"We worked hard, killed 300,000 people, and finally captured the main city, but it was robbed by the people of the Han Empire, they are simply robbers, despicable and shameless villains!"
A prince angrily complained about the shameless behavior of the Han army.
All the princes were silent.
Although morally speaking, the Han army's sneak attack is indeed a bit immoral, but the soldiers are not tired of deceit, this is war.
If the Mughal Empire hadn't consumed 300,000 people to kill 100,000 elite NPC legions, Chutian would not have taken the city so easily.
If the 400,000 Han army wants to capture the main city garrisoned by 100,000 NPC city defenses with a level of 80, how can they die more than 100,000.
This was what made the princes of the Mughal Empire the most sad and angry.
They were the first to do so, but they became other people's garments.
The brahmin said, "No matter how much we feel sorry for ourselves, it will not help, and perhaps we will have a chance to retake the main city." ”
"The Han army has already occupied the city, they are no weaker than the 100,000 NPC defenders, do we have to sacrifice another 300,000 people?"
The princes of the Mughal Empire turned pale, and if they continue to fight like this, the elite of the entire Mughal Empire will all be consumed on the battlefield of the national war!
If the Mughal Empire in India wants to recover, it will sacrifice two or three years of development time, and even more long-term benefits.
The brahmin's eyes flashed with ferocity: "We are waiting for an opportunity to move. This time the battle in the main city is so loud that I don't believe that no other civilization has noticed the big war here. Although the Han army barely won, their own losses were not small. All the fortifications except the city walls have been demolished by us, and it is so difficult for them to hold the main city! As long as other civilizations come, we will join forces with them to avenge today's revenge, and possibly take the city! ”
The Mughal princes listened to the Brahmin's analysis, and after experiencing great humiliation, they finally approved of the Brahmin's approach.
The sky was slightly white, and the Han army in the main city temporarily recovered their strength after a short rest, but most of them either had back pain or were wrapped in gauze.
Guan Yu, who was powerful in Huaxia, tied one arm with an inch thick gauze, and Yan Liang's head was wrapped with gauze, like a Mughal Ah San.
When Chu Tian opened his eyes, his body was so sore that he could barely move.
He hadn't experienced high-intensity combat for a while, and he had already overloaded himself by entering the million-strong army of the Mughal Empire, and then attacking the main city, fighting bloody battles all the way.
He caught a glimpse of Joan of Arc lying on the bed looking at him with her spare eyes, and after being discovered by Chu Tian, she pretended to be asleep again.
Chu Tian didn't bother to expose it, he got up from the threshold and went to inspect the city defense.
As long as you stick to the system to repair the city defense, after having a large number of city defense fortifications, the pressure on the Han army's defense will be reduced a lot.
"Urgent! Enemy troops found outside the city! ”
As soon as Chu Tian arrived at the barracks, an Iron Eagle scout hurriedly found him.
Chu Tian frowned slightly: "The Mughal group of Ah San was just defeated by us, and they made a comeback so quickly?" ”
The Iron Eagle scout hurriedly said, "It's not the Mughal Empire!" ”
"Follow me to the walls!"
Chu Tian's scalp was numb, if it was the Mughal Empire, it would be fine, but if there was another powerful civilization, the situation would be even more complicated!
Could it be the Persian Empire? Mingguan they failed? Or did the Persian Empire follow them to Mingguan?
After Chu Tian captured the main city, he immediately transmitted information to Mingguan and informed them that they could retreat.
"Lord!"
Mu Guiying, Xue Rengui, Zhao Yun, Le Yi, Zhou Yafu and other generals learned that the enemy was coming, and they came to the city wall to watch as soon as possible.
The princes of Lao Qin, Zhao Long, Liu Bei, Huo An and other princes had also arrived on the city wall, and Huo An said to Chu Tian: "I have an ominous premonition, this time it may be too big. We shouldn't have taken the main city so quickly and become the target of public criticism. ”
"If we don't take it, if we are taken by the Mughal Empire, the situation will only get worse."
Chu Tian did not regret his strategy of defeating the Mughal Empire and seizing the main city. If the Mughal Empire's million-strong army was allowed to occupy the main city, it would be difficult for the Han army to capture it.
At least for the time being, the Han army is the defender of the city, and the pressure is less than that of the besieging side.
"Will it be the Persian Empire?"
"If it was the Persian Empire, Mingguan would have joined us a long time ago, unless Mingguan and the others had been wiped out......"
The enemy that the crowd did not want to see was the Persian Empire.
"They chose this time to attack the city, and it was really cunning. I now have a sore back, and I can't even hold a weapon. ”
Huo An said to himself, all the princes felt exactly the same as Huo An at this time.
"Lord" is too real, and most of the people who experienced yesterday's battle grinned with their weapons in their hands. The generals of the Han army were injured in large numbers. The abilities of the injured heroes will decrease, for example, the current Guan Yu's strength is estimated to be only about 90.
The other party chose to start the war at this time, which was to grasp the weakness of the Han army.
"I'm afraid that the other party is worried about the variables of the night attack, otherwise the city would have been attacked last night."
Chu Tian was uneasy in his heart, he couldn't imagine which civilization would dare to attack the idea of the Han Empire.
East Asia, South Asia, West Asia, Central Asia, and Europe all had ancient civilizations, and Africa and the Americas were far away from the Han Empire, so they would not be afraid of the Han Empire.
On the horizon, a mixed army of infantry and cavalry appeared, black and overwhelming, and the battle flag of the Ottoman Turkish Empire was hunting!
A large number of camels and wagons transported siege equipment, and the Ottoman Turks were well prepared when the Han army was engaged in war with the Mughal Empire.
The 300,000-strong Ottoman Turks stopped beyond the range of their crossbows to prepare for the siege.
The Han army fought with the Mughal army, and the Ottomans, after sufficient rest, were at their peak in morale and physical strength!
"Damn, it's the Ottomans!"
When the Ottoman army's 300,000 troops approached the city, all the princes could see the Ottoman Empire's Star and Moon Banner.
As one of the three major civilizations in West Asia, the Ottoman Empire was very warlike, and was once a great civilization with a population of tens of millions, occupying most of the Mediterranean Sea and spanning three continents!
In "Lord", the size of the Ottoman Empire is far less than that of the Han Empire, if it is the Han Empire at its peak, it is naturally not afraid, but this time Chutian and other ten princes are only half of the troops of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and they lost a lot of troops in the war with the Mughal Empire, and their physical strength was exhausted. It's hard to say whether you'll win or lose.
"The biggest lords of the Ottoman Empire are the NPC forces, that is, their sultans. During the war, the lords of the Ottoman Empire obeyed the orders of their sultans, and their cohesion was not weak. ”
"The Ottoman Janissaries were elite infantry and archers, as well as the Sipahi cavalry, that is, the feudal cavalry of the Ottoman Empire. In addition to this, there may be servant armies such as Kurdish cavalry. We're in trouble this time. ”
Old Qin knew the strength of the Ottoman Empire from the peninsula of Asia Minor.
"Urgent! The Mughal Empire is back! ”
The defenders of the other direction immediately informed the various princes.
Chu Tian, Lao Qin, Huo An and other princes glanced at each other, this is not as simple as being in trouble, but in big trouble!
The thirty-four princes of the Mughal Empire in India did not give up, gathered about 500,000 defeated troops, and once again marched to the periphery of the main city. When the Mughal princes saw the Ottomans joining the battlefield, they were not only not worried, but overjoyed, and immediately sent cavalry to contact the Ottoman sultan.
The 300,000 Ottoman army was tense and orderly in a phalanx, ready to attack the city.
Suleiman the Magnificent squinted his eyes and looked at the envoy from the Mughal Empire: "How can I trust your sincerity?" ”
The envoy of the Mughal Empire replied: "We only want revenge, and the Han Empire has humiliated us." The main city will belong to you, the great Suleiman the Magnificent. Your light shines in the heavens, even in the Deccan Highlands. ”
Suleiman the Magnificent was not moved by this, but said: "I can join forces with you, and we will each attack half of the city, but the main city belongs to our Ottoman Empire." If you break your promise, my Janissaries will destroy you. ”
"Yes."
The envoys of the Mughal Empire in India left.
On the other side, in the Gobi, Mingguan learned that the main city was grabbed by the Han army, so he ordered the whole army to rest for one night, and then pull out the camp. The Han army on the Western Route needed to retreat while guarding against the Persian Empire.
The army of the Persian Empire followed Mingguan, and Ardashir still had more than 200,000 elites in his hands. The Han army retreated slowly, not giving the Persian army a chance to raid.
The Persian army constantly sent archers to infest, and was driven out by the Han cavalry.
"The Han army is very cautious, and when it comes to confrontation with such an opponent, it must not be in a hurry."
Ardashir is like a hunter, cautious and dealing with Mingguan. The Parthian archers tried to make a detour, but were detected by the Iron Eagle scouts, and Mingguan sent Chang Yuchun to defeat the Parthian archers who were taking the back route.
The hero of the Persian Empire, Surena (Sulena), was repulsed by Chang Yuchun, and he was not reconciled and continued to harass the flanks of the Han army, and the Han army on the western route, which was eager to retreat, was affected.
"The Persian Empire, as one of the three major civilizations in West Asia, really can't be underestimated......"
The Persian Empire harassed with archers and cavalry, and the ironclad cavalry attacked at any time, which made Mingguan anxious.
The speed of the march of the Han army was affected.
If a large number of cavalry were sent in pursuit of the Parthian archers, then they fell into the trap of the Persians. Firstly, they may not be able to catch up, and secondly, the infantry and crossbowmen on the march will be destroyed by the ironclad cavalry of the Persians without the protection of cavalry.
"Report, in the north of the rear, there is a cavalry approaching quickly!"
An Iron Eagle scout reports to Mingguan.
Chutian's special class, the Iron Eagle Scout, has become the most powerful reconnaissance cavalry of the Han army.
"Could it be that the Middle Route Army and the Western Route Army came to meet us?!"
Mingguan thought of this possibility.
If the Central Route Army and the Western Route Army defeat the Mughal Empire, seeing that the Western Route Army has not converged for a long time, it is very likely that they will come to support the Western Route Army.
The Iron Eagle Scout's face turned pale: "No, it's not our army, it's the legions of other empires!" ”
Mingguan, Huma, Tian Qi and other princes turned pale.
On the way back of the Western Route Army, a large army of other civilizations appears, and the Western Route Army may be caught between the two civilizations!
"Speed up the march, the Liaodong cavalry is broken!"
Mingguan realizes that danger is approaching.
All the civilizations born in the Gobi region covet the main city in the west, and Mingguan does not think that the other party deliberately came in order to give cordial and friendly greetings to the Han army on the western route.
Mingguan's keen intuition prevented the total annihilation of the Han army on the Western Road, and he personally led the Liaodong cavalry to break the rear, urging the slow-moving infantry to retreat quickly.
The baggage team also did not care to take care of the pack horses, and the grooms whipped the horses to speed up the progress.
The Han army suddenly increased the pace of its march, attracting the attention of the Persian army.
Ardashir judged the situation by the actions of the Han army: "Could it be that our reinforcements have arrived?" But I really don't want to join forces with that disgusting civilization, the Arab Empire...... The whole army pursued the Han army and took advantage of the situation to occupy the main city! ”
More than 200,000 Persian troops immediately pursued the Han army!
Chang Yuchun, Murong Ba, Li Chengliang and other Liaodong generals fought hard and carried the Persian army to the death!
All the cavalry who stayed behind the palace were cavalry, blocking the Persian army with a small number of elites, buying time for the infantry to escape, and only the Liaodong cavalry dared to do this!
Often encountered seven arrows in the body, still fighting to the death, killing dozens of Persian immortal heavy cavalry in a row!
Under the influence of generals such as Chang Yuchun, Murong Ba, and Li Chengliang, Guan Ning Tieqi did not abandon his teammates, but fought for his teammates to get out!
In the rear of the Western Route Army, a mighty cavalry galloped among the Gobi sand dunes, and the camel cavalry raised their scimitars with cold light......
