The main city of the Byzantine Emperor Basil II, Chutian led the Han army into the city.

The city had 10,000 Byzantine defenders, all of whom were lower ranks below rank 4.

Ordinary heavy infantry and heavy cavalry are 4th level troops, and further up, they are high-level special troops.

Now, these 10,000 Byzantine city defenders are in service of Chutian, who defeated Basil II.

This is the only way to get troops from other civilizations.

"The Legendary King's main city has a population of 600,000, while the average city has a population of only 400,000. The Byzantine Empire had three cities, or a population of 1.4 million, that could forcibly recruit more than 200,000 soldiers. ”

After Chutian defeated Basil II, he took all three cities of Basil II, and obtained 30,000 low-level Byzantine Empire soldiers and a population of millions.

In this way, even if 30,000 soldiers were killed in order to defeat Basil II, it was not unacceptable.

Ten thousand Byzantine soldiers stood in front of Chu Tian.

The Byzantine Empire inherited ancient Rome and was influenced by Greek, Persian and other civilizations, which was very complicated.

Chu Tian took a look at the defenders of the Byzantine Empire, the commander was 78, the military force was 72, and the commander of 10,000 Byzantine defenders was enough.

This is just an ordinary NPC general, not Basil II's right-hand man.

Chu Tian flicked his wrist and the recruitment order he obtained appeared.

Chu Tian directly used this recruitment order.

"Ding! You gain the allegiance of Nikephoros Siphias, the royal commander of the Byzantine Empire. ”

Basil II's right-hand man appeared in front of Chu Tian.

Chu Tian didn't know much about the Byzantine Empire, the successor of Rome in the Middle Ages, but he could still see the ability of a military general based on the panel of generals.

……

Chu Tian saw that the attributes of this famous Byzantine general were not bad, maybe among the many generals of Basil II who fought with the Han army just now, there was Siphias.

If it was just a civil war in the Han Empire, then Chu Tian's appointment of the current legion was enough, and if he wanted to launch a great conquest, then he might need to form a group of servant troops.

King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table were incorporated into the Iron Cavalry and became part of the Iron Cavalry.

Joan of Arc's Protectorate Army, the Hussite Legion of the Bohemian Kingdom of Jayska, was unified into the Janissary Guard's Servant Legion, commanded by Joan of Arc.

The main reason for the establishment of the servant legion in the Praetorian Guard is to facilitate control.

After obtaining King Arthur, Joan of Arc, and Jayshika, Chutian obtained another military general who could serve as the main general, Siphias of the Byzantine Empire.

"The kings of Western civilization like to lead troops in person, but the generals are neglected, and I really haven't heard of this person......"

Despite the fact that Siphias's attributes seem to be good, almost no one has heard of them.

The reason is also very simple, Basil II, as the emperor, has made many royal expeditions, and the glory of course goes to the emperor first, followed by the generals.

The proportion of emperors in ancient China was small, and once the founding emperor would tend to drive the expedition, it would be handed over to the generals.

For example, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty provided a steady stream of troops and grain and grass for Wei Qing and Huo Qubing in the rear, so that Wei Qing and Huo Qubing could sweep away the main force of the Xiongnu.

Therefore, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was unable to show military talent, more political ability.

The Emperor's expedition was also prone to accidents, and in the Battle of Manzikert, the Byzantine Emperor Romanus IV was captured by the Sultan of the Seljuk Empire, Alp Arslan.

In the Battle of Tumubao, Warat defeated the Ming army and captured the Ming Emperor Song Yingzong.

Except for the battle-hardened founding emperor, who had the ability to drive the expedition in person, other emperors basically relied on luck when they went into battle.

"Now that Siphias has been recruited, wouldn't it be possible to directly recruit the Western Teaching Regiment, plus the Byzantine defenders of the city, to form a Byzantine army?"

Chu Tian inexplicably took over an Eastern Roman legion.

Because there is no Byzantine Empire in the lord world, the Byzantine Empire's military forces will be divided among different lords.

After occupying the three cities, Chu Tian began to recruit troops in several cities, preparing to expand his sphere of influence, gain more military exploits, and have recruitment orders.

In addition to Basil II, there were many legendary kings in the Fifth National War, and Chutian occupied only a small area.

"It's a pity that Belisarius was snatched away by Alexander. Other famous generals of the Byzantine Empire, I don't know whose hands they fell into. ”

Chu Tian asked people to spread out the map, and he needed to decide on the next target.

The north is deep in the desert and is occupied by the Arab Empire, and Chu Tian is not very willing to fight the Arab Empire for the second time, otherwise it is easy to lose both.

"It seems more advantageous to have a plain to the east, or to expand to the east. As for the Arab Empire, find another opportunity to take revenge and come back......"

Chu Tian had already found out that the four cities he occupied were located in the desert and Gobi terrain, while the east was bordered by plains and hills.

Chu Tian's legion is mainly cavalry, so it is undoubtedly a plain area, which is more conducive to the performance of his legion.

Xia Liang saw Chutian turn his target to the east and said, "If we expand to the eastern plains, then the lord of the Arab Empire, Umayyad, may move his troops south and take away the four cities we occupy. The four cities we have captured are all within the scope of the desert terrain, and if they really fight the Arab Empire in the field, they may lose. ”

"Transporting all weapons, grain, grass, and youth to the main city of the Byzantine Empire, then even if the other three cities are lost, the impact will not be great, that is, the speed of producing solid bullets and crossbow arrows will be affected......"

Chutian decided to focus his main efforts on the Eastern Plains.

As the lord of the Great River Basin, Chu Tian still likes the terrain of the plains.

For Chu Tian, the terrain of the desert is too uncertain.

Chu Tian took a look at the leaderboard.

In the first month, Chutian defeated Darius I, engaged in a brief confrontation with the Arab Empire, and eliminated the Goryeo Kingdom, forcing the Byzantine Emperor Basil II to admit defeat, and Chutian had accumulated more than 100,000 points, still in the first position on the leaderboard.

First place, King Xia of the Han Empire, I just want to farm well, 147555.

2nd place, Federal Governor of the United States, Marshall, 115787.

Third place, the three emperors of the Roman Empire, Constantine, 10501.

Fourth place, the Great Khan of the Mongol Empire, Ogedei, 951219

Fifth, Arab Imperial Caliphate, Umayyads, 92333.

5th place, King of the Kingdom of Macedonia, Alexander, 88021.

Sixth, Khan of the Ilkhanate, Tuolei, 85112.

Seventh place, Holy Roman Emperor, Hohenzollern, 78215.

8th place, King of the Kingdom of France, Louis, 77391.

9th place, Maharaja of the Mughal Empire of India, Brahmin, 74426.

10th place, the three emperors of the Roman Empire, Caesar......

Later, there are also the lords of the Han Empire, such as Tongque, Liu Bei, Gustav of the Kingdom of Sweden, Queen Isabella of Spain, the Amazon Empire, and Oda Nobunaga.

"Genghis Khan's two sons did not insult their reputation."

Chu Tian couldn't help but be a little surprised to see that Wokotai and Tuo Lei entered the top ten among many powerful lords.

With the Turkic people of the Serjuk Empire and Khorezm as the team, Ögedei rebuilt the Mongol Empire, which was also a Turkic Empire, and had already ranked fourth.

After the Umayyads of the Arab Empire unified the Arabian Peninsula, it showed the momentum of the era of great conquest of the Arab Empire, and he was also the only lord who had made Chutian suffer in the national war so far.

Umayyad's exploits came from attacking Chutian and attacking the main city of Darius I.

The main forces of Darius I were defeated in a great battle with Chutian and suffered heavy losses, from which the Arab Empire benefited greatly.

"Historically, the Arab Empire rose to prominence after the Great War between the Byzantine Empire and the Persian Empire. They're really good at picking up cheap. ”

Chu Tian shook his head.

The most powerful enemy he envisioned, Alexander the Great, had not yet shown a strong side in this national war, and was only in fifth place.

Correspondingly, the lords of the civilization zone of the Americas came in second.

The leader, Marshall, had suffered under Chutian and Catherine, but had recently become more and more active, beating the European powers.

After the Roman Empire was ruled by three emperors, it took advantage of the great war of 100,000 people.

Constantine, Caesar, Pompey, the three Roman emperors all participated in the war as lords, and each commanded an army of 100,000, two of whom were in the top ten, and Pompey was in the top 30, which can be regarded as a strong rise.

Chu Tian didn't know where these powerful lords were.

"The Iron Eagle Scout has gone to the east to find out which legendary king's territory is, or if that lord has been destroyed."

Some of the Legendary Legions, such as Basil II, disappeared, and the other High Lords of the Overworld, after becoming familiar with the rules of the National War Battlefield, also began to fight back and attack the Legendary King.

"Where are Huo An and Catherine at this time?"

At the same time, Chu Tian gained a firm foothold and began to look for the location of Huo An and Catherina.

Huo An still retains the status of a lord, because in the event of a national war, the Han Empire can have an extra place.

The number of lords in the Han Empire, with a population of three million, was decreasing.

What Chu Tian didn't expect was that the situation of King Liang of the Han Empire and the capital of the Western Regions was also very bad at this time.
