Chapter 424: Catherine's Plea for Help

"Ma Chao is young, but his strength is not low."

Chu Tian saw that Ma Chao, who was only fourteen years old, charged into battle and killed several Dongying warriors, which could be regarded as a shrunken version of the overlord of Western Chu.

The initial castle of the Daimyo was in the eastern battlefield, and in order to retaliate, the Han army in the main eastern city went to attack from time to time. Ma Chao, recruited by Xu Fengnian, can kill the enemy for the first time.

Xu Fengnian said: "In Longxi, Ma Teng lost his real power, and without our group of lords from Longxi, it was difficult. However, how to control Ma Jiajun is a problem. ”

"Do you have the confidence to deal with Lao Qin?"

"It's hard to say. But he wanted to annex Liangzhou, and it was also very uncomfortable. ”

The national war was coming to an end, and Chu Tian set his sights on the main world again. Allies in wartime may become enemies when they return to the Overworld.

During this time, Chu Tian sent troops from time to time to sweep the surrounding civilizations and brush up on points.

After returning to the northern battlefield, the Mongol Empire began to recruit soldiers and horses, and continued to move south, fighting against the Han army and other civilizations.

Temujin also realized that he had to earn points, and he alone held the bulk of the points of the Mongol Empire. And the points come from conquering other civilizations.

At the moment Temujin is still in first place, eating most of the points of the Mongol Empire.

The total points of the Han Empire were already twice as large as those of the Mongol Empire, but because the princes of the Han Empire were not fuel-efficient lamps, the points of the Han Empire were divided among the twenty-two princes, and the points obtained by Chutian alone were not as good as those of Temujin.

For this point, Chu Tian is also more helpless, the situation of the Han Empire is that there are more wolves and less meat, everyone rushes up, and if they get 100,000 prisoners, they will be divided up quickly.

During this period, the main southern city was captured by the Grand Duchy of Moscow, and it is said that the United States of America suffered a great loss in the face of the strong Grand Duchy of Moscow, and became a mortal enemy of the Grand Duchy of Moscow.

Catherine annexed part of the Ottoman Empire and the Mughal Empire in the early stage, digested a large number of people, and then entered the chaotic southern battlefield strongly, penetrating the army of the United States from the rear, resulting in the collapse of the army of the United States and the death of dozens of United States generals.

When Rome and Macedonia ran from the eastern battlefield to the southern battlefield, the southern main city had already been occupied by Catherine.

Now the main city in the north is the Mongol Empire, the main city in the south is the Grand Duchy of Moscow, and the main city in the west and east is the Han Empire.

Only one civilization can occupy the main city, so it is unlikely that all civilizations will join forces to attack a main city.

Joan of Arc formally formed the French Servant Army, with Gilles de Ray as her lieutenant, commanding an army of 50,000 French servants.

Joan of Arc reported the matter to Chu Tian, who agreed to her request. During the Hundred Years' War between England and France, Jill served as Joan of Arc's lieutenant, which was also a bit famous, and later after Joan of Arc was captured and killed, Jill was hit and became a madman after retiring.

As far as loyalty is concerned, as long as Joan of Arc is in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Gil will not betray.

After Joan of Arc commanded the French servants, the rest of the servant army lacked a suitable general. Chu Tian's subordinates also included Ottoman, Mughal, and Inca servant armies. In addition, there were a small number of soldiers from Goryeo, Songhai and other civilizations.

In the absence of a second suitable foreign general, Chu Tian had no choice but to personally command this group of Eight-Nation Alliance forces.

The servant army was very practical, and the Mongol Empire relied on the expulsion of a large number of servant armies to dominate the battlefield for a time.

"Rome, Macedonia, Holy Rome, France, the United States, the Mughals, the Ottomans, Persia, they are really unlucky, they are also a powerful civilization, if the number of main cities is enough, they can also occupy a main city, but unfortunately there are only five main cities, and there are only four main cities on the mainland."

Old Qin sighed with emotion, and then said to Xu Fengnian: "This national war is over, I won't let you go after I go back." ”

Xu Fengnian frowned: "If I am defeated, maybe we can have a good talk." ”

All the Han princes had their own thoughts.

During the national war, the contradictions between the various princes are not obvious for the time being, and when they return to the main world, the contradictions between each other will break out again.

"My lord, Sophia of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, has a note asking for help."

Joan of Arc, who replaced Mulan at the helm of the Iron Eagle Scout, ascended to the city and presented a short note.

When Catherine was leaving, she borrowed a war eagle from Chu Tian to use it to communicate, and she also mastered the skill of manipulating the war eagle. It is said that the news came from the adjutant Sophia, and most of the people who really wrote this note were Catherine herself. It's just that Catherine is unwilling to admit that she needs help.

For Russian, Chutian couldn't understand it at all.

"The Grand Duchy of Moscow is under siege by the United States, Rome, Macedonia, and Toungoo, and wants to ask us to send troops to help."

Huo An knew the Russian language and explained the general meaning to Chu Tian.

"Sure enough, as long as you capture a city, most of them will be attacked by a group. At this time, civilizations such as the United States and Toungoo have also joined the southern battlefield......"

Chutian was considering whether to save Catherine.

In love, Catherine's cavalry broke through the Ottoman Empire and relieved the siege of the Han army in the western theater.

Yu Li, Chu Tian wanted to go to the southern battlefield to brush up points.

Temujin's points are in the front, and there is still a month to go, and Chutian is still capable of turning the tide.

If you want to surpass Temujin and rank first, then you can only choose to be a lone wolf. Of course, to be a lone wolf, the premise is not to harm the interests of the Han Empire.

"In the west and east, the two main cities together have more than 1.5 million troops, which is enough to withstand the advance of the Mongol Empire. Now the famous civilizations are all in the south, and there is little threat to the western and eastern battlefields. I myself went south to relieve Catherine, and I didn't have to alarm the other soldiers. ”

Chu Tian planned to be a lone wolf and go south to support Catherina.

There are other princes, enough to hold the two main cities, and Chutian can come back to support at any time.

"I'll go with you with a small group of cavalry."

Huo An took the initiative to fight.

"I have to say hello to the other princes about this matter."

Even if he wanted to be a lone wolf, go to support Catherine, and brush up on points by the way, Chu Tian still had to look at the attitude of the other Han Empire princes, rather than leaving the team on his own. Otherwise, it's a pit teammate.

"The main city in the east and the main city in the west, the two cities can be handed over to us for defense. However, if you have a partial division into the southern battlefield, beware of total annihilation. ”

The princes of the old Qin and Mingguan were confident in defending the city, and the Han army exploded during this time, with a total strength of more than 1.5 million, which was more than enough to defend two cities, and it was possible to break the city unless the Mongol Empire sent 200-3 million troops.

In a month's time, it is almost impossible to levy such a large number of troops to capture the city.

"I want to go too."

Mu Ke, the lord of the Southern Barbarians, was willing to follow Chu Tian south, or rather, she wanted to follow Huo An.

"The three of you can only take 200,000 people. Otherwise, the main city power may be empty. ”

"150,000 is enough."

Chutian's operation did not rely on the Han army, but on the servant army.

Chu Tian took away 100,000, Huo An took 30,000, and Mu Ke took 20,000, a total of 150,000 people, which is not much for the current more than one million soldiers and horses of the Han Empire, and it does not affect the city defense.

The other princes of the Han Empire saw that the ranking was basically set, and in order to preserve their strength and keep the main city, they did not follow Chutian's actions.

The southern battlefield is the last battlefield to be contested, and it is very dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will be wiped out.

150,000 soldiers and horses assembled.

Chutian took away 100,000 people from his headquarters. 100,000 men consisted of infantry, crossbowmen, and cavalry, with Han troops and servant troops.

To speed up the march, each soldier, even infantry and crossbowmen, was equipped with a war horse, and the heavy cavalry with two or three war horses. These horses came from captured soldiers, including Dawan horses, Arabian horses, Mongolian horses, Ili horses, and Hequ horses.

Huo An and Mu Ke's soldiers also had war horses.

As the lord of the Southern Barbarians, Mu Ke originally lacked war horses, but Huo An generously gave her a batch of war horses. For Huo An, his Western Regions Protectorate is mainly based on animal husbandry, and there is really no shortage of war horses. It's just that the cost of teleportation from the Western Regions to the Central Plains is too high, so it is difficult for the war horses from the Western Regions to flow into the Central Plains.

Chu Tian brought the infantry generals Le Yi, Pang Juan and others, the cavalry generals Wei Qing, Xue Rengui, Zhao Yun, Mu Guiying and others, the bow generals Li Guang, Li Ling, Liang Hongyu and others, and the foreign generals Joan of Arc and Gil de Ray, a total of 100,000 people.

Huo An brought Huo Quzhi, Chen Tang, Gao Xianzhi, and Li Siye, 30,000 people.

Mu Ke's generals, most of Chu Tian can't be named, 20,000 people. The vine armor soldiers are also equipped with war horses, which still look a little shocking. If the enemy doesn't know the weakness of the Vine Armor, the Vine Armor is actually a strong class, which is a magical class between the first and seventh ranks. Knowing the weakness, the rattan armor soldier can easily crack it, but without knowing the weakness, the vine armor soldier is a combination of light and heavy infantry, invulnerable.

"This expedition is the last attempt. If you are lucky enough, you may be able to surpass Temujin. ”

Chu Tian once again looked at the point gap between himself and Temujin.

Now that the civilizations of the northern battlefield have either fled or withdrawn from the national war, Temujin has few opponents. In other words, if Temujin wanted to earn points, he had no choice but to go south. Going south meant either attacking the Han Empire in the west and east, or attacking the Mughal Empire in the central plains.

Although the Mughal Empire was beaten by the Han Empire to the point that it had no confidence, but the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and the Mughal Empire still had 500,000 soldiers and horses, and recruited another 300,000, doing nothing, just holding on to three ordinary cities, waiting for the end of the national war, bringing the population back to the Mughals, and making up for the losses.

Without obtaining enough siege equipment, it was quite difficult for the Mongol cavalry to capture the three ordinary cities of the Mughal Empire. Moreover, the Han army would not necessarily sit back and watch the Mongol Empire destroy the Mughal Empire.

There are only eternal interests between civilizations, and there are no eternal friends and enemies.

One moment the Han Empire also took Rome and Macedonia to fight the Mongols, and the next moment they occupied the main city in the east.

Temujin's expansion route was temporarily blocked, but Chutian could enter the southern battlefield without worries. As for whether he can surpass Temujin, it can only depend on the efforts of the next month and the use of the characteristics of the "Heavenly Khan".

In terms of data, Temujin's ability to enslave other alien races was a little stronger than that of the "Heavenly Khan", after all, the Mongols once occupied countless regions in Asia and Europe, but the "Heavenly Khan" was not far behind.

"Let's go!"

Chu Tian led 100,000 Han troops and servant troops to the battle, Dian Wei, whose body was like an iron tower, followed left and right, Joan of Arc held the holy banner in her hand, and a group of cavalry galloped!

Huo An and Mu Ke's cavalry followed, and 150,000 cavalry marched south!

The princes of Lao Qin, Ming Guan, Zhao Long and other princes stood on the city wall and witnessed the cavalry of Chu Tian and others leaving.

"It would be nice if Chu Zimou's entire army was wiped out, but as a prince of the Han Empire, he can't stab him in the back."

Ming Guan said the thoughts of all the princes bordering Chutian.

Returning to the main world, Chu Tian would definitely devote himself to expansion, and all the princes around him were facing unprecedented pressure.

In the main city of the south, Catherine defeated the army of the United States and occupied the main city in the south, just as Rome and Macedonia moved south from the eastern battlefield and joined forces with the United States to besiege Catherine who occupied the main city in the south.

Catherine had an army of hundreds of thousands, facing an army of millions outside the city, on the defensive, and there was no danger of falling into the city for the time being.

"Lord Duke, do you think the Han Empire will come to support?"

"I guess so......"

Catherine didn't know if Chutian, who valued interests, would come over. After all, it was she who forced Chu Tian to conquer her, not Chu Tian who was willing to conquer her......

The Roman Triumvirate, Alexander, and Marshall, the lord of the United States, who had lost in the eastern battlefield, formed an alliance under the main city in the south at this time.

There was only one month, and if they couldn't capture a main city, they would be in vain.

The United States is the largest civilization in North America, a composite civilization of the colonial era and the tribal era, where arquebus militias and tribal archers coexist, which is a relatively special civilization.

After all, the United States is also one of the member countries that developed the "Lord", and it will certainly not treat its own civilization badly. In addition, the population of the United States is a quarter of that of the Eastern Han Dynasty, equivalent to the population of three large states, so it is also a strong civilization.

They are on an equal footing with Rome and Macedonia.

"Capture the southern main city within a month, how should we divide the ownership of the southern main city?"

Marshall, as the largest slave owner in the United States, took the initiative to claim ownership to Caesar and Alexander.

Caesar and Alexander were stunned for a moment, and then they understood what Marshall meant.

"Whoever leads the occupation of the lord's mansion will have the southern main city."

"Yes."

Although the three civilizations have agreed on the surface, they have their own ideas in their hearts.

Especially after the Roman triumvirate and Alexander were placed together by the Han Empire, they no longer believed much in the United States, which were also white civilizations.

150,000 cavalry quickly moved south.

Huo An asked Chu Tian, "Let's go directly to the southern main city?" ”

The whip in Chu Tian's hand pointed forward: "First capture hundreds of thousands of servant troops, and then crush the enemy who surrounded the main city in the south in one fell swoop." The last time Catherine did this, we can be regarded as returning her favor. ”
