Chapter 568: Che Shi Guo

The Grand Duchy of Moscow, the new Grand Duke Catherine of Moscow, personally conquered the Golden Horde, and the cavalry of both sides fought in the Volga Valley, and the Golden Horde of Jochi and Batu did not take advantage of half of it.

The Grand Duchy of Moscow was not a Rus' state that was historically vassalized by the Golden Horde, but a great power in Eastern Europe tending to be unified, and Catherine gained many heroes and rewards from previous national wars to dominate Eastern Europe.

However, the Golden Horde had the eldest son army and the Golden Horde's own cowardly army, and it was also quite tricky to destroy the Golden Horde.

"The Golden Horde has been a bit strange lately, and it seems that it is shrinking its forces, transporting gold and silver plundered from all over the world to its royal city."

Ekaterina was debriefed by Adjutant Sophia.

Sophia's intelligence came from spies sent by the Grand Duchy of Moscow to infiltrate the Golden Horde.

"Isn't it possible for our people to know the true intentions of Jochi and Batu?"

Catherine was dissatisfied with intelligence.

Sophia replied: "The Golden Horde is a barbarian power that suddenly descended on the Volga Valley, and its rulers are all Jochi and Batu people, and if you are not careful, the spies who infiltrate the Golden Horde will be eliminated. Temujin seems to be wary of our scouts, and only contacts Jochi and Batu. ”

"No matter what the plans of the Golden Horde are, this year, the Golden Horde will definitely be destroyed."

Catherine was very strong and resentful of the presence of the Golden Horde in her sphere of influence.

This is her sphere of influence.

So far, only one person has made her suffer.

Thinking of that person, Ekaterina felt hot again.

She hadn't looked for Chutian for a long time.

"That man in the East, where is he?"

For some reason, Catherine suddenly inquired about Chutian's information.

"It is said that the Han Empire in the east was organizing an expedition to the Western Regions. The teleportation array of Luntai, the seat of St. Petersburg's Zhifu to the Western Regions, had failed, and most of the Luntai was surrounded by Mongol cavalry. Unfortunately, if the Mongol cavalry breaks through Luntai, you won't be able to travel to the Han Empire later. ”

Sophia made a point of emphasizing the outcome of the loss of Luntai.

"What about the loss of Luntai, I never thought of going to the Han Empire, and besides, I don't want to see that person again in my life."

After Ekaterina finished speaking, she fell silent again.

She was a little irritable.

It's okay not to mention it, thinking of Chutian, who she hasn't seen for a while, Ekaterina can't hold back again.

"Perhaps, let him know that the identity of the little duke will be a good thing for the growth of the little duke in the future."

Sophia, despite shaking her head, reminded Ekaterina at the end.

"Little Chutian, do you want to see your father?"

Ekaterina picked up the child in the cradle, thinking that she could never tell her son that he had no father......

The city of the King of the Driver Division, whose lord is Huo An's henchman, a female player named Huo Qing.

She opened a teleportation array for the Han army in the pass, and on the first day, tens of thousands of Han troops arrived in the Western Regions Cheshi Country!

"You're finally here!"

Huo Qing couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw a group of generals coming out of the teleportation array.

The entire Western Regions Protectorate was attacked by the Mongol Empire, and the cities fell, and the situation was critical, but at this time, it was immediately upgraded to a large city, and the Cheshi Kingdom that opened the teleportation array became the key to reversing the situation!

The reinforcements from the Guannai and the hidden teleportation array of the Cheshi Country are all indispensable!

Huo Qing, like Xueyue, is a freelancer of the female warrior type, dressed in light armor.

Her eyes focused on the three princes who came, Chu Tian, Lao Qin, and Xu Fengnian, and then her eyes couldn't help but shift her gaze to Xia Liang, Hua Mulan, Joan of Arc, Li Xiuning and others behind Chu Tian.

What a beautiful woman.

Huo Qing couldn't help but compare himself with these women.

When a woman sees someone who looks similar to herself, she will subconsciously compare herself with each other, which is her nature.

Huo Qing hugged his fists, and his voice was crisp: "Huo Qing, the commander of the Cheshi Country, has seen all the righteous people, and you have come from afar......"

Lao Qin said: "Everyone is a player, so you don't need to be so literate." ”

"Our army needs a place to camp, with food, grass, water, tents, and huts."

Chutian is also very realistic, and he is not polite to the female player in front of him.

If we don't settle camps, food, grass, and water as soon as possible, won't all the troops that come to the Western Regions starve to death, die of thirst, or freeze to death?

“……”

Huo Qing pouted.

Sure enough, none of the princes who can rise in the pass are livestock that rely on the lower half of their bodies to think.

The beauties they have seen around them are like clouds, but they are able to suppress their desires and focus on conquering the city.

When a beautiful woman is placed in front of them, the first thing they consider is whether she has the value of use, followed by her appearance.

"Huo Qing, Huo An, and a confidant, could it be that this is Huo An's own sister? Good fellow, I treated him as a brother, and I didn't even introduce my sister to me. ”

From their names, Chu Tian judged that most of the women who guarded the Cheshi Kingdom were relatives of Huo An, so Huo An arranged for her to sit in the Cheshi Kingdom.

Suddenly, Chu Tian felt that there was an unkind vision behind him, Xia Liang, Mulan, and Joan of Arc had already heard Chu Tian's self-talk just now.

"Chu Zimou, you ask for more blessings. It will take some time for all the soldiers and horses to teleport over, so I'll wander around the city for a while. ”

Old Qin gloated and left with his own soldiers.

The teleportation array can teleport a limited number of troops in a day, and the Han Empire Expeditionary Force still needs time to gather troops and hoard grain and grass in the Cheshi Country, so it is not possible to act at will.

"We also inspect the country of Cheshi."

In order to change the topic, Chu Tian took a group of generals to hang out in the Cheshi Country.

Because of the great war that broke out in the Western Regions, the people were panicked, and Huo Qing imposed martial law on the entire Cheshi country, recruiting 25,000 servants of the Cheshi country to defend this city.

The Han army of Cheshi Country was only 5,000 people.

This is also the characteristic of the Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate.

Because of the arrival of the Han army in Guannei, the civilians of Cheshi Country were a little relieved.

The burly Dian Wei is like a humanoid giant beast, walking on the streets of Cheshiguo, bringing a strong sense of security.

Huo Qing summoned the magnates of the Cheshi Kingdom and held a banquet to entertain the reinforcements from Guannei.

Originally, because Huo An was besieged in Luntai by the Mongolian cavalry, the loyalty declined, and there was a tendency to betray the protectorate of the Western Regions.

However, at the feast, after Dian Wei defeated dozens of strong men of the Cheshi Kingdom with his bare hands, the magnates of the Cheshi Kingdom settled down again.

The powerful princes of the Central Plains of the Han Empire sent troops, and the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions did not dare to act rashly.

If they are on the wrong side, then what awaits them is the death of the country.

Chu Tian and the others also asked Huo Qing's identity, and Huo Qing was really Huo An's sister.

When Huo An fought the world in the Western Regions Protectorate, Huo Qing was just a girl, and after a few years, she finally had the ability to take charge on her own.

"The Ögedai Khanate is west of the Junggar Basin, and the Subutai Army is south of the Altai Mountains, but they have already marched southward, and, the Chagatai Khanate, which occupies the Ili Valley, is advancing eastward, and my brother is under attack from three lines of soldiers and horses. Now Temujin is also in the Western Regions, and his whereabouts are uncertain. ”

Huo Qing spoke of the troubles encountered by the Western Regions Protectorate.

Luntai was already besieged by the Mongol army, and it was clear that it was a decoy.

Temujin mobilized an entire khanate, as well as a remnant of the khanate, to besiege Luntai, and the force was already quite strong.

The most combat-ready army of Temujin left Dunhuang County, and most of them came to the Western Regions to join forces with other khanates.

"The country of Yanqi is located at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, close to lakes and rivers, and it seems that it is also a large city, close to Luntai, if it is not surprising, Temujin and the others should have arrived in Yanqi. The distance between Yanqi and Cheshiguo is not far. ”

Chu Tian could probably judge Temujin's location.

"If they knew that the Cheshi Kingdom had suddenly been upgraded to a large city, they would definitely send troops into the Turpan Basin to cut off the teleportation array here. Soon, we will have to fight Temujin. ”

"Gather all the soldiers and horses in the Turpan Basin to meet Temujin."

Several princes recovered the Hexi Corridor and advanced their troops to the Cheshi Kingdom in the Western Regions, alarming the nobles of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions.

They oscillated between the Han and Mongol empires.

Luntai City, where Huo An was besieged, still had enough troops to defend the city.

The Han general Chen Tang fled back to Luntai City from the siege of Wokotai and Yelu Dashi, and was seriously wounded.

Huo An and Chen Tang received the support of Gao Xianzhi's soldiers and horses and returned to Luntai City smoothly.

"There are still 50,000 defenders in the city, and they are temporarily recruited to enter the barracks and transferred to low-level soldiers, and it is expected that they can hold for two or three months, or even longer."

Hoan knew his forces all too well.

There were still two legions in his hands, the garrison of Luntai City, and the Huo Quzhi legion, which was confronting Subutai in the Altai Mountains.

Luntai was besieged, which meant that the teleportation array and the player system failed, Huo An didn't know if and when the reinforcements from Guannai would arrive, all he did was to hold on until he saw the reinforcements of the Han Empire or the loss of Luntai.

"How is Chen Tang's injury?"

"It's okay for now."

"That's good, I don't know if the Cheshi country has been attacked by the Mongol army, the Cheshi country is already my last hope...... If you can't hold the teleportation array of Cheshi Kingdom, then Qingqing might as well flee back to the pass......"

Huo An was not very comfortable with his sister.

But Huo An is not at ease with the group of wall grasses of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, and only Huo Qing, as a relative, can be trusted.

Outside the city were the cavalry of the Ögedai Khanate and the Central Asian cavalry of Yelu Dashi.

After the generals of Dawan and Loulan were killed and Chen Tang was seriously injured, Huo An currently has only Gao Xianzhi as a military general.

If you go out of the city to fight, once you are defeated, then Luntai City will most likely be lost.

Huo An didn't dare to take this risk easily.

Defend Luntai City, and the Western Regions Protectorate can be saved.

Under the city, the army of Wokotai and Yelu Dashi besieged Luntai City on three sides, and the siege lacked one, so that the hearts of the soldiers in the city were shaken, and the defenders might take the door out and give Luntai City away.

Many of the soldiers of the Ögedai Khanate were plundered by Huo An, including the princess of Ögedai and others.

The Ögedai Khanate couldn't wait to capture Luntai City and recapture their population, cattle and sheep.

Huo An has operated Luntai City for many years, building fortresses, fortresses, arrow towers, and female walls, and Luntai City has become the strongest fortress in the Western Regions.

"Trebuchet, Jerodashi, we need trebuchets."

Ogedei trusted Yelu Dashi, a general sent by Temujin to the Western Regions, even more.

Yelu Dashi and Wanyan Chen monks, one is the Khitan Liao State, the other is the Jurchen Jin State, and finally turned the tide, Temujin reused them, naturally because of their outstanding ability, even compared to the famous generals of the Mongol Empire.

It's just that the era they live in, the end of the Liao Kingdom and the end of the Jin Kingdom, has rotten foundations, and no matter how outstanding their individual talents are, they can't turn the tide.

They were under the command of Temujin in order to fully exert their abilities.

At present, Yelu Dashi has become the most important military general in Ogedei, and even wants to accept Yelu Dashi as his own general to compete for the throne of the Mongol Empire.

"Why don't you ask the Great Khan for a craftsman to make a trebuchet? If Luntai City is captured, perhaps the Great Khan will pay more attention to the adults. ”

"What you said is very much, we need Xiangyang cannon to destroy Luntai City......"

Wokotai squinted his eyes and observed the city defense of Luntai City.

Only by using the Xiangyang cannon can the strongest city in the Western Regions be destroyed.

Luntai City will become the second fortress to be destroyed after Yumen Pass.

"Report! Chagatai Khan, within half a month, will lead a large army to besiege Luntai City! ”

A scout of the horse, receiving a report from Chagatai, hurriedly reported the matter to Ogedei.

"Reinforcements from the Chagatai Khanate...... I didn't expect to rely on the strength of Chagatai to capture the Western Regions Protectorate. When I capture the Western Regions Protectorate, I will ask the Great Khan to give me the land, population, cattle and sheep controlled by the Western Regions Protectorate, and re-establish the Khanate here, with you as the vice-king. ”

In order to win over Yelu Dashi, Ogedai even promised Yelu Dashi the position of vice king of the Ögedai Khanate to Yelu Dashi.

Jerodashi did not answer.

Both Ogedei and Chagatai were trying their best to win him over, and he had enough capital to sit on the ground among Temujin's sons.

Luntai City, whether it is Huo'an, Wokotai, or Yelu Dashi, all have their own concerns at this time.

The kingdom of Yanqi, which had been captured by the Mongol cavalry, led his people and had to pay allegiance to Temujin.

The national strength of the Yanqi Kingdom is like a mantis arm as a car in front of the Temujin army.

Even if the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions formed an alliance, they would not be the opponents of Huo An's Western Regions Protectorate, let alone a small country in the Western Regions.

"The country of Cheshi has been upgraded to a large city......

Temujin originally thought that the deployment was complete, and all the teleportation arrays in the Western Regions were controlled in his hands, but he didn't expect Huo An to keep a hand.

The sudden upgrade of the medium-sized city of Cheshi Kingdom to a large city means that the Han army does not need to start from Yumen Pass and cross the desert, but can directly teleport to the Turpan Basin!

"Immediately attack the Cheshi Country and cut off the teleportation array!"
