The expeditionary force was all assembled in Yanqi Kingdom, recovered their strength, loaded the water into the water bladder, and set foot on the expedition wheel again.

This time, Chu Tian left part of the troops of the Le Yi Legion, and then used the teleportation array of the Yanqi Kingdom to dispatch the Wuziliang General located in Jizhou to the Yanqi Kingdom to lead this part of the troops and hold the Yanqi Kingdom.

At present, the Han Empire Expeditionary Force controls the Cheshi Kingdom and the Yanqi Kingdom, and has a total of two teleportation arrays, and the Han Empire Expeditionary Force has obtained a steady stream of supplies.

Without the Teleportation Array, it would be more difficult for the expeditionary force to march.

Divided troops to Xu Fengnian to support Luntai City, and left part of the troops to defend the Qi Kingdom, plus the soldiers and horses lost in the previous small-scale battles with Temujin and Subutai, the 400,000 expeditionary force became 300,000 expeditionary forces.

Although the scale of the expeditionary force was reduced, the defense of Luntai City was stronger, and it was more secure for the expeditionary force to obtain retreats such as Yanqi and Cheshi.

"Yellow Sand Wears Gold Armor in a Hundred Battles ......"

Chu Tian found that some of the durability of his armor had actually dropped.

Chu Tian himself did not personally go into battle to kill the enemy, and the durability of the equipment was partially consumed by the yellow sand.

Sure enough, the Yellow Sand Hundred Battles can really wear gold armor.

"Sister Joan of Arc is becoming more and more apparent...... After recovering Luntai City, she can no longer be allowed to fight. ”

Summer Ryo and Mulan find out that Joan of Arc has a child, and they are on an expedition at this time, and it is not safe.

Chu Tian nodded, and he was helpless about Joan of Arc taking the initiative to follow him.

And the Han Empire Expeditionary Force needed part of her abilities.

Even if it's a 1% bonus, it may be able to turn the tide of battle at a critical moment.

Huo Qing rode over and said to Chu Tian: "Between Yanqi Kingdom and Luntai City, close to the Taklamakan Desert, according to the past practice, maybe Temujin will make a comeback, and this time, he will bring at least one of the troops of the Khanate. ”

Huo Qing followed the princes of the Han Empire, and after two major wars, he also had an understanding of Temujin's tactics. Temujin often used sand and dust to launch surprise attacks, and used the mobility of cavalry to attack and retreat to defend to consume the expeditionary forces of the Han Empire.

Sun Bin said, "Perhaps Temujin will be waiting for us at the end of the desert. As we cross the desert, our morale and physical strength have dropped, and our water sources have dried up, we will surely fight as soon as possible, and then it will be Temujin's chance to win. ”

"Whether Temujin chooses to be in the desert or waiting for us at the end of the desert, be on alert. The temperature seems to be getting lower and lower, and if the battle drags on, more and more soldiers and horses will be frozen to death. ”

Chu Tian realized that the temperature had plummeted, and the climate was extremely unfavorable for the expeditionary force from Guannei.

If it was the Liaodong Army in Mingguan, it might be able to withstand the harsh winter of the Western Regions, but few of the soldiers who arrived from the Central Plains and Guanzhong could adapt to the cold winter of the Western Regions.

The most uncomfortable thing is Mu Ke's Nanzhong Army, which is hot and rainy all year round, and has not even seen snow, and the cold winter of the Tianshan Mountains may make the combat power of the Nanzhong Army plummet.

Historically, the Mongol cavalry attacked Indochina and failed because it could not stand the heat of the jungle.

The cold winter of the Tianshan Mountains is coming.

After staying behind to defend the Yanqi Kingdom, the 300,000-strong expeditionary force passed through the edge of the desert.

At night, the temperature plummeted, and the expeditionary force lit a fire in the desert to keep warm, and Joan of Arc was able to rub against Chutian's side and lean on Chutian's shoulder because of the special treatment.

Even if it's cool in summer, let Joan of Arc at this time.

Huo Qing used a branch to stir up the burning firewood, his eyes wandered, because he was worried about Huo An's safety, and lost his mind for a while.

Mu Ke sat beside Huo Qing, also distracted.

Old Qin's face was a little haggard.

According to the old Qin, he was reluctant to participate in this expedition and seemed to find it difficult to endure the climate here.

Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun led the white-robed cavalry to reconnoiter fifty miles ahead and returned, but did not encounter the enemy.

Dian Wei led the Tiger Guards to patrol, and Yang Dayan, who was also in charge of patrolling, stared at each other.

Although Yang Dayan is called Big Eye, his eyes are not as big as Dian Wei's eyes.

The two fierce generals are their own masters, and they look at each other unpleasantly.

Qin Liangyu was talking to Mulan, and the two seemed to be very compatible. When Qin Liangyu mentioned Chu Tian, Mulan would always look at Chu Tian from time to time, and now Mulan's talking point is also her own daughter.

In the past, Mulan was very cold and not good at talking, but under the training of the summer cool, she finally became a normal person and established a friendship with Qin Liangyu.

Chu Tian is also willing to let Mulan befriend Qin Liangyu, and when the time comes, he can turn Qin Liangyu over without blood......

Wang Xuance and Huo Quzhi, Li Siye, Zhao Ponu and other generals of the Western Regions gathered in a small circle, and most of the discussions were about relieving the siege of Luntai City.

They had a strong sense of belonging to the Western Regions Protectorate, and even though there were only two lands left in the Western Regions Protectorate, the Luntai Kingdom and the Cheshi Kingdom, they did not defect to the Mongol Empire.

All the soldiers were aware that the Armageddon with Temujin could break out at the edge of the desert, or at the end of the wasteland.

In the Battle of Mobei, the Xiongnu Yizhi chose the time for a decisive battle with the Han army, just as the Han army left the Gobi.

Therefore, everyone is recuperating and preparing for the final battle with Temujin in the Western Regions.

If they win, the soldiers of the expeditionary force can return to the Han Empire and recuperate.

lost, outside Luntai City, corpses were everywhere, and the 300,000 expeditionary army was wiped out and became food for vultures.

"If I am defeated, I am willing to die with my lord."

Joan of Arc whispered to Chu Tian.

"The decisive battle has not yet begun, so don't say such unlucky things......"

Chu Tian had no intention of being defeated.

The Han Empire expeditionary force was 300,000, and there were still tens of thousands of elites in Luntai City, and the Mongol Empire had to besiege Luntai City at the same time, as well as a decisive battle with the Han Empire expeditionary force, and invest more troops.

In addition, Chu Tian also left a hand, which may not fail.

"I was wrong......"

Joan of Arc was also not willing to fail, after all, the child had not yet been born......

Xia Liang looked at Chu Tian's eyes fiery, Chu Tian felt her wolf-like eyes, and probably saw that Joan of Arc had a child and wanted a second child......

What a competitive woman.

It was more difficult to deal with Temujin, and Chu Tian found that he was really powerless.

The night in the Tianshan Mountains was cold, and the Han army rested in tents.

The next day, when a ray of sunlight crossed the foothills and projected into the camp of the Han army, the 300,000 Han troops embarked on an expedition again.

The war eagle soars in the air, the flag covers the sky, and the golden iron horse swallows thousands of miles like a tiger!

On the edge of the Taklamakan Desert, the combined forces of Temujin and the Chagatai Khanate, with more than 300,000 cavalry, intercepted the Han army in the front, and in the rear of the Han Empire's expeditionary force, the cavalry of Subutai was like a ghost, and it had been following the Han army.

Countless Mongol cavalry and Central Asian cavalry gathered, and the Chagatai Khanate brought a large number of camels and pack horses, which were not uncommon in Central Asia, whether camels or pack horses.

A commander of the Chagatai Khanate led a team of cavalry to patrol, this commander had a resolute face, although his status was not high in the Chagatai Khanate, which had more than 100,000 troops, but he climbed to the position of the commander step by step by virtue of his military merits.

In the battle of the Ili River Valley, he served as a hundred households, led more than 100 Mongolian cavalry, beheaded 500, and contributed to the victory of the Chagatai Khanate over the Central Asian coalition army, and rose to 1,000 households with military exploits.

"The position of Qianhu can't give full play to my talents, give me tens of thousands of cavalry, maybe I can help the Great Khan to victory."

The young commander of the Chagatai Khanate seemed to be extremely confident in his talents.

Chagatai, the khan of the Chagatai Khanate, did not pay much attention to this newly promoted commander of a thousand horses.

At present, there are more than 100,000 households and more than 100,000 households under the command of Chagatai, and a new 1,000 households will not attract the attention of Chagatai.

Chagatai, at this time with Temujin, gathered forces and recuperated.

As for Wokotai and Yelu Dashi, they launched a fierce attack on Luntai City.

The Mongol Empire intends to achieve results on two fronts - the simultaneous capture of Luntai City, and the annihilation of the Han Empire's expeditionary force!

Temujin received reinforcements from the Chagatai Khanate, and his confidence increased, and he summoned military generals such as Muhuali, Crassus, Ali Hague, Chilaowen, Borshu, and Wanyan Chen to block the Han Empire's expeditionary force.

Unlike the previous two temptations, Temujin had no way back.

Taking a step back, the Han Empire expeditionary force arrived in Luntai City, and the Mongol Empire's strategy of attacking the Western Regions Protectorate was a complete failure.

Crassus led the Roman legions into battle.

The Roman legions lost half of their troops in the battle of Yumen Pass, leaving only more than 2,000 men. The Roman citizens of Mobei were teleported to the Western Regions to replenish the losses of the Roman legions.

Crassus's Roman legions barely recovered in size, but their strength declined due to the addition of new recruits.

"The scale of the war in the East has become more and more tragic, and if it continues like this, maybe I will die in the East. I can't die here like these madmen, I have to find a way to escape back to Rome......"

Crassus worked for Temujin for two years, but all he wanted was to escape back to Rome.

If it weren't for the fact that Temujin had sent a group of Mongol soldiers to guard Crassus, perhaps Crassus would have had a way back to Rome.

Unlike Joan of Arc, who was young and ignorant, Crassus had many means to return to Rome as long as he had the money.

"All the warriors, if you win this battle, you can get all the pastures, gold and silver, grain and grass, women, cattle and sheep in the Western Regions!"

"Kill the enemy, more than losers, the commander of the legion will be crowned king, ten thousand households will be promoted to the commander of the legion, thousands of households will be promoted to ten thousand households, and one hundred households will be promoted to thousands of households!"

"Ordinary soldiers, those who kill five people, will be promoted to 100 households!"

"Servant Army, kill the three, regain your freedom!"

Before the start of the Armageddon, Temujin invigorated the morale of the army, and planned to distribute all the property of the Western Regions to the soldiers who participated in this battle, and at the same time to seal the official title on a large scale!

Temujin's decision made more than 300,000 cavalry boil!

Those who have outstanding achievements in this battle can even be crowned king!

"Ten Thousand Households...... The young head of the Thousand Households of the Chagatai Khanate found a way to be promoted, and his fighting spirit was high, "As long as the number of soldiers killed exceeds 1,000 people, I will be ten thousand households." ”
