A row of Jianyan crossbowmen lined up in front of Chu Tian, this group of crossbowmen was equipped with gold-level infantry crossbows, with three kinds of crossbow arrows, armor-piercing arrows, ordinary arrows and rockets, forged for the warcraftsmen brought by Chu Tian.

Chu Tian recruited three thousand Jianyan crossbowmen for Liang Hongyu. Jian Yan's crossbowman coupled with Liang Hongyu's ability made him the most practical crossbowman under Chu Tian's command. The only regret is that Chu Tian does not have a divine arm bow.

Zhou Yafu's fine willow battalion was also replenished.

The recruitment conditions of the women's army are relatively lenient, and Chutian recruited seven thousand women's troops for Li Xiuning. The women's army is armed with a spear, a Tang knife at the waist, and a bow and crossbow on their backs.

The number of high-level troops in Chutian was restored to 30,000, and an additional 5,000 troops were recruited to defend the city, and 100,000 low-level troops were recruited, and Chutian left 30,000 people to defend the city, but there were 100,000 people to go out to fight, and there were 70,000 servant troops.

These forces came from the 2.3 million people that Chutian had.

During the two months that the Han army occupied the main city, except for the elimination of the Ottoman Empire and the Inca Empire, the suppression of the Mughal Empire, and the conflict with the Mongol Empire, the Han army did not make any other major moves and went all out to recruit soldiers.

The Han army regrouped, leaving 400,000 men to defend the main city and 700,000 to go on an expedition.

If you can take the second main city, it's best, if you can't take it, you can't hold a main city, it's not a loss.

The Han Empire, with a population of one-fifth of the world, occupied a major city, which was exactly the same proportion as the population.

After the recovery of the troops, the princes of the Han Empire were in high spirits and swore in the city lord's mansion in the main city.

"The situation in the eastern region has been clarified. The NPC defender who defends the main city in the east is a legendary hero of our Eastern Han civilization. Originally, Alexander the Great of the Macedonian Kingdom wanted to capture the main city in the east, but he was targeted by the Roman Republic and held back by the Roman giants, and the Macedonian army never had the energy to attack the main city in the east. So the main eastern city has not yet been occupied. ”

"In addition to Macedonia and Rome, there are also Eastern and Mamluk civilizations. Now Temujin's Mongol legions intervened, and the Persian Empire also went to the east, which was very chaotic. It is precisely because of the chaos that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it. It was also because of the chaos that Genghis Khan chose to attack the main city in the east. ”

"The Mughal Empire is located in the middle of the war battlefield, and they can sneak up on any of the main cities, so they must be on guard against the Mughals."

Before the many princes set out on the expedition, the old Qin once again emphasized the situation in the eastern battlefield.

The main city in the west was firmly controlled by the Han Empire, and the main city in the north was also impregnable with a small number of Mongol soldiers and a large number of servant troops.

And the main city in the east has not been occupied by any civilization. As with the fifth main city, civilizations in the eastern region are counterbalanced by each other, so no civilization can capture the eastern main city.

As Lao Qin said, chaos means that there is an opportunity to take advantage of.

Temujin would rather go to the chaotic eastern battlefield than fight the Han Empire head-on.

The two empires went head-to-head, with millions of casualties. Fishing in troubled waters may result in huge results with only minor casualties.

"Most of the southern region is American, African civilizations, and the United States is very strong, they have musket militias. There is also the Amazonian civilization, which has Amazonian warriors comparable to beasts, and standing legions modeled after those established in Europe. ”

Not only in the eastern region, but also in the southern region during this period.

The attack on the main southern city was carried out by the corps of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, which was also fishing in troubled waters.

The 700,000 Han army was ready to go. The princes returned to their camps and marched out of the city.

The Moscow Corps had gathered enough strength to part ways with the Han army, and they were to attack the main city in the south. As for whether the city can be captured, it depends on the means.

Catherine rode by on a war horse, and the Cossack cavalry, Novgorod heavy infantry, and the Janissary corps marched south.

"If you lose, you can come to me for refuge."

Chu Tian saw that Catherine had helped him, and before parting ways, he said to her.

"First of all, I won't be defeated, and second, I won't whisper and beg you for shelter."

Catherine said indifferently.

She, along with the lords of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, led a mighty army south.

"What a dishonest guy."

Chu Tian shook his head, so he led the 170,000 Han army to the east. For Catherine, Chutian didn't know what she thought, and she definitely didn't want to go to the Eastern Han Dynasty, maybe she just wanted to take revenge and come back. Although there is something strange about Catherina's revenge......

Chutian's Han army was the largest among all the princes, and it was one of the main forces of the Han army in the Eastern Expedition.

The Han army was again divided into three routes, divided and marched side by side, supporting each other and speeding up the march.

Huge war elephants, Nanban soldiers equipped with rattan armor, brave and warlike Tusi wolf soldiers, the legions from the Nanban, and the cavalry from the Western Regions Protectorate walked very closely.

"Huo An, have you gotten along with Mu Ke recently?"

Chu Tian squinted his eyes and found that the army of the Western Regions Protectorate and the army of the Southern Barbarians were in close contact.

Huo An was surprised: "I didn't expect this to be discovered by you." ”

A Western Regions Protectorate and a Southern Barbarian Region, two people joining forces, it is a big force.

Regarding the matter of Huo An and Mu Ke, Chu Tian turned a blind eye, as long as it did not affect the attack on the second main city. And Chu Tian doesn't seem to be qualified to meddle in this matter...... After all, he was still pushed by the drunk Catherine.

"The main force of the Han army has left the main city!"

"How many people did the Han army leave to defend the city?"

"About 400,000!"

The remaining forces of the Mughal Empire were reduced to three cities, and they had lost a large number of young men and weapons in the previous wars, and were unable to recruit too many troops, and currently only had 800,000 troops, which was already less than the strength of the Han Empire.

The main force of the Han Empire went east, and the Mughal scouts in India returned as soon as possible to report to the lords.

"400,000, with our troops, it is difficult to capture. These 400,000 people are no weaker than the 100,000 NPC city defense army. ”

"We can follow the main Han army and destroy them when they are at war with other empires."

The princes of the Mughal Empire briefly deliberated, and the answer was about to come out.

Facing the main force of the Han army, it can't be defeated, and the sneak attack on the main city of the Han army is not enough, so it can only be succeeded by following the sneak attack.

The Mughal army began to assemble and leave the city, following the Han army.

The Han army had already sensed the movement of the Mughal army.

"The current Mughal Empire, like the Persian Empire, must find a way to defeat them."

When Mingguan heard that the soldiers and horses of the Mughal Empire in India were following the Han army, he couldn't help frowning.

In the Battle of the Western Main City, the Han army was flanked by the Persian army that followed and the Arab army that intercepted it. Myeongguan believed that the Mughal Empire had to be eliminated.

"There are so many Mughal Asans in India that they dare to go out of the city with so many people dying. It is better to use the tactics used by the Mongols to annihilate the Mughal Empire and completely solve the worries. ”

Chu Tian took the initiative to contact the other princes.

"Who's going to lure the enemy?"

"The Western Route Army lures the enemy."

After two months of rest, the Western Route Army recovered its strength, and its strength reached 180,000.

The 180,000 Western Route Army slowed down its march and made a gesture to meet the army of the Mughal Empire in India.

"The main force of the Han army has stopped marching and is arranging in front!"

The army of the Mughal Empire was following the Han army, and the scout cavalry in front sent back information.

"The Han army wants to fight us in the field?"

There was a commotion among the Mughal princes, who were considering whether to engage the Han army.

The First Lord Brahmin said, "Our war elephant troops were barely damaged in the last battle, and they can completely defeat the Han army in the field. I've got the hero Shivaji here, and he can keep the war elephants calm. ”

Because of the brahmins' self-confidence, the rest of the Mughal lords were slightly more confident and decided to challenge the Han Empire's hegemony in the east again.

The battlefield chosen by the Han army on the Western Route was relatively narrow, and the army of the 800,000 Mughal Empire could not be fully deployed. The princes of the Mughal Empire sent 400,000 elites to engage the Han army on the Western Route.

Yao Guangxiao, the black-clothed prime minister, followed Mingguan and looked at the army of the Mughal Empire in India on the battlefield. The Mughal Empire put the main war elephants at the forefront, numbering 1,500 horses. Among the war elephants, there are countless infantry who serve as cannon fodder.

"According to Chu Zimou, there is a hero Shivaji in the Mughal Empire who can effectively control the war elephant troops, and ordinary fire arrows cannot confuse it unless special means are used."

Mingguan was dressed in armor and a black cloak, and commanded the soldiers and horses of the Western Route Army to arrange troops.

The Western Route Army, which suffered heavy losses in the last battle, regained its vitality and was once again heroic.

Huma said: "During the Second National War, Chu Zimou used fire camels to break through the war elephant troops of the Mughal Empire, but it was not just fire camels, maybe he had some ability that could exacerbate the fear of war elephants. ”

"Quite possibly."

Mingguan himself has also gained a lot of characteristics, and it seems not surprising that Chutian has some special abilities that can cause chaos among the war elephant troops of the Mughal Empire.

Yao Guangxiao said: "Lord, if you want to lure the enemy, you must pay a certain price. ”

"The minions we captured last time, it's time for them to come in handy."

The dull sound of war drums reverberated over the battlefield, and everyone's attention returned to the battlefield, hundreds of horns blew at the same time, and the proudest war elephant unit of the Mughal Empire in India attacked!

Shivaji, the legendary hero of the Mughal Empire, personally led an army of 1,500 war elephants to attack the Han army!

Fifteen hundred war elephants, stretching for seven kilometers, are extremely deep.

In order to protect this ace army, the Mughal Empire deployed 50,000 infantry and 50,000 archers to cover!

Tens of thousands of cavalry were on the flanks and in the rear. As soon as the war elephant troops destroyed the Han army's formation, the cavalry would come forward to harvest.

Boom, boom!

Fifteen hundred war elephants are like majestic walls of flesh, pressing towards the Han army's array!

The war elephant at the front was clad in iron armor, like a moving iron fortress, and its height of nearly four meters made the infantry and cavalry around it look extremely small.

On the backs of war elephants, Mughal soldiers armed with spears and bows and arrows look solemn, opposite the main force of the Han Empire, which is larger than the Mughal Empire in India.

At present, the princes of the Mughal Empire in India mistakenly believe that the Western Route Army of the Han Empire is the main force of the Han army, and they do not believe that the Han army will fight the Mughal Empire with less than a third of the troops.

"These behemoths are really a headache. Like a black cloud pressing down on the city, the city is about to be destroyed, and the armor light opens to the sun. ”

Lu Xiangsheng, a Ming general who was on the front line to supervise the war, held a big knife, and in the face of more than 1,000 war elephant troops under black pressure, he couldn't help but clench the handle of the knife. The generals and tens of thousands of infantry around him almost stopped breathing.

Once thousands of war elephants, several times larger than war horses, rushed into the Han camp, the Han camp would collapse in an instant.

No one wants to engage war elephant troops on the plains.

"The Han army will choose to fight us on the plains, and they will definitely lose this battle!"

The princes of the Mughal Empire were no more relaxed than the generals of the Han Empire.

They have suffered repeated defeats, and this is a battle in which they have gambled on their national fortunes and on the most powerful war elephant troops!

Due to the width of the battlefield, there are still a few hundred war elephants that cannot be used. However, for the princes of the Mughal Empire in India, it was not a big problem, and thousands of war elephant troops under the command of Shivaji, the legendary hero of the Mughal Empire, were crushing the Han army.

Each hero has a specific ability, and Shivaji's ability is to manipulate the war elephant troops.

His war elephant troops...... It's scary.

Originally, Shivaji was a hero of the Kshatriyas, but later the Kshatriya was killed by Chutian's subordinates and took refuge in the Brahmins, the current first lord of the Mughal Empire.

The Brahmin's prestige grew infinitely in this war, and he needed a great victory to lay the groundwork for his unification of the Mughal Empire in India.

The majestic army of war elephants crushed them, and the Han archers used rockets to try to frighten the war elephant troops with their flames.

Tens of thousands of rockets pierced the sky and rained down like meteor showers, killing hundreds of Mughal soldiers!

The war elephants in the first three rows were dressed in heavy armor, and the fire bolts hit the heavy iron armor, and the shafts of the arrows were damaged by the violent impact, and the flames were splashing.

War elephants themselves have thick skin and thick flesh, and with iron armor, even armor-piercing arrows are only scratching the itch for war elephants equipped with iron armor.

Therefore, the war elephant unit will become the trump card of the flat terrain in the Indus Valley!

The weakness of the war elephant is that it is afraid of fire, but the ability of the legendary hero Shivaji keeps the war elephant troops calm, and the fire attack of the Han army cannot stop the attack of more than a thousand war elephants!

"The Han army came prepared, but they underestimated our war elephants. If the war elephant has such a big flaw, how dare I let the war elephant be in the middle army. ”

Seeing that the Han army's counterattack did limited damage, the brahmin let go of his hanging heart.

Mughal archers fire thousands of arrows to cover the charge of the war elephant troops!

The war elephant covered in iron armor broke into the Han army's formation, knocked down the heavy infantry in the front row, and trampled on it!

The spears of the heavy infantry faced the war elephants with amazing defensive power, and the damage was surprisingly limited, and the heavy infantry fell row after row!

The Mughal infantry took advantage of the situation to attack, and the Han army was in confusion and retreated.

The Mughal hero Shivaji had other abilities, the war elephant roared, rampage through the Han army, and the Han army collapsed!

All the princes of the Mughal Empire could not help but be overjoyed.

The Han army actually ...... Defeated!

The brahmin immediately decided: "Send cavalry in pursuit!" Can't let them go! ”
