"Jurchen and Western Xia have appeared, but civilizations such as the Xiongnu, Turkic, and Rouran, no free players have found traces of these tribes for the time being."

Faced with the threat of the rise of the barbarians, several great princes shared intelligence among themselves. Each prince had his own means of obtaining information.

At a time when the Han Empire was under threat, some important intelligence sharing was crucial.

Chutian had learned that the Jurchen civilization appeared in the territory of Mingguan, and the Western Xia civilization appeared in the sphere of influence of the old Qin.

If that's all, maybe Chu Tian can still gloat. But this time Chu Tian really couldn't laugh.

The Liaodong Legion of Mingguan and the Guanlong Legion of Lao Qin were extremely combative.

The Liaodong County Regiment and the Guanlong Army were pinned, so Chutian faced the Mongol Empire head-on, which was quite uncomfortable.

Although the four major legions and the million-strong army are being expanded, it still needs time to train, otherwise the level 10 recruits will go to the battlefield and send their heads.

A level 10 fifth-order class may not perform better than a level 100 second-order class.

After Chutian set up the four major legions, he ordered the commanders of each legion and the commanders of the legions under his jurisdiction to train soldiers and horses day and night, improve the average level of the legions, and enhance the combat power of the legions.

"Chu Zimou, maybe you should come to St. Petersburg."

During the preparations for the war, Catherine of the Grand Duchy of Moscow sent a message.

"If you don't go, you won't go to death."

Chutian always thought that Catherine was a pervert, and once he went to St. Petersburg, then it was very likely that he would be imprisoned by Mao Mei.

Although Catherine may not necessarily harm him, maybe Catherine will like it......

"Hmph, I won't go looking for you either, don't regret it in the future."

Ekaterina ended the conversation.

Regret?

Chu Tian didn't feel anything at the moment, and Ekaterina didn't have anything to threaten him.

"Increase the scale of mining of the Jiaodong gold mine, I need the gold mine, the more the better."

"Expanding the scale of trade with Toei, Toei's silver ore production is really quite large, and it would be nice to have direct trade with the Mori family, who rule Iwami Ginzan. Dongying's Iwami Silver Mountain should be a ninth-level silver mountain, and it may even be a tenth-level silver mountain. ”

Chutian had a huge demand for hard currencies such as gold and silver.

In addition, he asked Mi Zhu, who was carrying out activities in Dongying, to purchase a batch of Tanegashima iron cannons again to strengthen the Shenji Battalion, which was cool in summer.

The arquebus was available, and the Yongle Shenji Battalion still lacked the original bronze cannon.

Although the bronze cannon is one of the oldest firearms, compared to the later artillery, the power is pitiful, but in the era of cold weapons, it is still a big killing weapon.

No civilization has been heard of that has the ability to produce bronze cannons.

The player's homemade bronze cannon cannot be used, and only the bronze cannon produced by the corresponding building can exert its power.

Chu Tian once wanted to exchange the National War points for the production blueprints of the Bronze Cannon, but the problem was that there was no Bronze Cannon in the list of exchangeable items.

Bronze cannons can also only be used by certain firearms units, such as the Yongle Shenji Battalion (wooden cart fixed bronze cannons).

If there is a bronze cannon and a cannon to fly Temujin, then things are much simpler.

Of course, Chu Tian just thought about it, even if there was a bronze cannon, with the lethality of early solid bullets and black powder, the main role was to deter and destroy the city wall. Kills are not very efficient.

Mi Zhu, who has been on an envoy to Dongying, has sent information about Dongying. There are two changes to Dongying. First, the trend of unification is more obvious; Second, in Hokkaido, the barbarian tribe of Ezo became more and more belligerent, but the targets of Ezo's attacks were several daimyo in the northeast.

Chu Tian had been secretly monitoring Dong Ying's movements. Judging from the population of Dongying, it was not much of a threat to the Han Empire.

In accordance with the army expansion plan, the commanders went to Youzhou, Bingzhou, and Jizhou to recruit and train soldiers and horses to preside over the defense.

Wei Qing arrived in Monan Dragon City, and the Youzhou Army was temporarily handed over to Cao Cao for management.

The Monan Lords Alliance has established its own legions, and with the ultimate war mobilization, the cavalry strength can reach a staggering half a million.

The territory of the Monan lords was actually dominated by nomadic tribes, and the mobilization rate of the war was not inferior.

However, the disadvantage of the Monan Lords Alliance is that they are scattered across the Monan steppe, and the cavalry that can be assembled in one place at a time is only three or four hundred thousand at most.

Wei Qing temporarily commanded a team of Mo Nan cavalry to help the lords of Mo Nan block the Jebe army from moving south.

In the dragon city of Monan, 100,000 Mongol cavalry in Mobei came to the city under the leadership of the first Mongolian bow Jebe.

The princes of the Han Empire were fond of building cities, even in grasslands like Monan......

The existence of Monan Dragon City has become a bridgehead for Temujin.

If the Mongol Empire wants to bypass the dragon city of Monan, then it may be raided from the rear by the Monan army.

If the Mongol Empire did not make a detour, it would mean that the fortified city would be captured.

The princes of the Han Empire would not only build cities, but also defend them.

The Southern Song Dynasty held out for many years under the offensive of the Mongol Empire, and in addition to the emergence of a group of famous generals, it had nothing to do with the strong fortresses of the Southern Song Dynasty.

At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, it was at the peak of cold weapons, and firearms had just been used in the military. The city defense of the Southern Song Dynasty was very strong in the era of cold weapons.

The princes of the Han Empire inherited this spirit of craftsmanship, and as long as the city could be built, it must be built impermeable.

Mo Nan Dragon City blocked the Jebel Legion.

Wei Qing stood on the city wall and looked at the Mongolian cavalry.

He wanted to step forward to provoke Jebe, but unfortunately, his Yulin Legion was still recruiting and training in Youzhou, and could not fight for the time being.

At present, Wei Qing has 100,000 cavalry in Monan, mainly low-level cavalry.

The 100,000 cavalry of Mo Nan came from different lords of Mo Nan, with different equipment and ranks, and Wei Qing took over temporarily, but he was actually not very handy.

Otherwise, Wei Qing may go out of the city and directly attack the Jebe Legion.

"Jebe defeated the White Horse Yicong, even the White Horse General Gongsun Chan is not his opponent, you must be careful."

Hu Ma stayed in Monan Dragon City to remind Wei Qing.

Chutian sent Wei Qing to Monan Dragon City to resist the Mongol cavalry of the Jebe Legion, which made the lords of Monan feel a little at ease.

As one of Temujin's four mastiffs, Jebe cooperates with Subutai, which is fearful.

In Monan Dragon City, only Wei Qing can compete with Jebe. There is another person who can stop Jebe, that is, Li Mu, who has arrived in the Hetao Plain to contain Mu Huali, one of the four cowardly Xue.

At present, the two sides have not completely completed their preparations for war, and are only engaged in small-scale friction.

The 200,000 Monan cavalry of the Monan Lords' Alliance, north of Yinshan, fought with the Borhu Legion, one of the four cowardly Xue, and suffered a small loss because of the brave battle of Monk Wanyan Chen.

The Bolhu Legion and the Muhuali Legion met in the Hetao Plain, and two of the four cowardly Xue were stationed in the Hetao, which shows that Temujin attached great importance to the Hetao.

Temujin also saw the Han Empire as an equal, if not more formidable, rival. He believed that it might be necessary to unite with other nomadic and fishing and hunting civilizations to defeat the Han Empire.

A Mongol scout whispered to Jebe: "There is a cavalry coming from the direction of Yinshan. ”

"Yin Mountain? It should have been the Han Empire that went to intercept Borhu's cavalry. They couldn't stop Borhu, so they planned to return to Dragon City. You continue to besiege the city under my banner, and I myself lead a troop of cavalry to volley them on their way back. ”

Through the scouts, Jebe learned that a group of Mo Nan lords such as Prince Yan and Liu Hu had returned to Longcheng, so he personally led 30,000 cavalry to attack the Mo Nan army on the way.

Wei Qing saw the movement of the Mongolian cavalry in the city, calculated the march process of Prince Yan and other princes, and looked serious: "Prince Yan and the others may be defeated." ”

Wei Qing immediately counted the soldiers and horses.

Huma said, "I'm going with you." ”

On the Monan prairie, Prince Yan, Liu Hu, Gongsun Zan and other princes were defeated, and after resting in Yunzhong County, they returned to Monan Dragon City to increase the strength of Monan Dragon City.

Li Mu and the Southern Xiongnu of Yanmen County, if they really can't stop the increase in the strength of the two cowardly Xue, there is also the annexed state army set up by Chutian, and they can support at any time.

"We lost tens of thousands of cavalry, and Borhu lost a lot. Bolhu and Mu Huali joined forces, and Li Mu was under even more pressure......"

Prince Yan was not worried about the loss of troops caused by the defeat, but about the consequences.

Li Mu and Zhao Hao, the two famous generals of Zhao State, need to carry the two cowardly Xue of Mu Huali and Bolhu, as well as the loyal and filial piety army of Wanyan Chen.

As for the Southern Xiongnu, if they didn't send heads to Tanmachi and the loyal and filial piety army, Prince Yan would be grateful to them.

"Mongol cavalry spotted ahead!"

Just as Prince Yan and the others were returning to the division, the scout cavalry in front made an urgent report, interrupting Prince Yan's train of thought.

"Whole army, fight!"

After Prince Yan, Gongsun Zhan, Liu Hu and other princes had the experience of fighting with the Mongol cavalry, they immediately set up a formation.

About 10,000 Mongol cavalry appeared on the front, forming a snake formation, forming a mighty offensive momentum, interfering with the judgment of the lord of Mo Nan on the military strength of the Jebe army.

"How many cavalry?!"

"I don't know yet."

Liu Hu's cheeks retained the scars left by the loyal and filial army, and he looked a little hideous, which made him even more hateful to the enemy in front of him.

Liu Hu is a prince who is more ferocious, and he wants to get back to the field at this time.

The Monan cavalry and the Mongol cavalry of Mobei fought and threw a rain of arrows, and the two cavalry tightened their bowstrings, and the arrows rained down!

"Prepare for hand-to-hand combat!"

Prince Yan was also stimulated at this time and thought that he had to be killed, so he held a spear and planned to counterattack the Mongol cavalry in Mobei.

There were still more than 100,000 cavalry in Monan, and they were pouring towards the Mongolian cavalry like a tide.

The war horse galloped, Di Qing and Gongsun Zhan, as the two generals of Monan, took the lead!

Even in the Mongol Empire, the two of them were also famous because they had been fighting against Jebe and others for a long time.

Temujin, Jebe and others also knew the names of Di Qing and Gongsun Zhan.

Di Qing wore heavy armor, braved the dense rain of arrows, held a big knife in both hands, and beheaded a centurion!

Before the centurion on the opposite side could react, he was beheaded from his horse.

Gongsun Chan burst directly into the enemy line with a spear, and the sharp spear pierced through the chests of two unarmored Mongol light cavalry.

The Mongol cavalry attacking the Monan army made a slight contact, and was quickly routed and retreated to the rear.

Prince Yan had a wave of anger in his heart and was about to fight hard, but when he saw that the Mongol cavalry was easily repulsed, he became suspicious.

Decoy tactics are often used by nomadic civilizations, as they have a large number of light cavalry and great mobility.

"Poor Kou Mo Chase!"

Prince Yan had a bad premonition, so he immediately asked the scout cavalry to inform the various Monan lords.

Suddenly, behind the Monan Army, a cavalry appeared on the horizon. This cavalry quickly entered the state of charge, the iron hooves of the war horses trampled on the weeds, and from time to time there were broken blades of grass splashing!

Jebe led a cavalry around the rear!

Thousands of arrows were fired, and the Monan cavalry fell in response.

The Mongol cavalry smashed into the desert cavalry and quickly broke through!

"Sure enough, it's a trap."

Prince Yan immediately ordered Di Qing and Gongsun Zan to return to their division and attack Jebe.

Jebe led 20,000 cavalry to assault, cut in from one corner, and did not try to penetrate the thick opposite corner, but chose to chisel through the flanks and break through quickly!

A Monan cavalryman raised a spear and stabbed at the Mongol cavalry.

An arrow came through its throat, bloodied!

Jebel's horse swept by like a swift wind, and the arrow he had just shot was the one he had shot.

Soon, 20,000 cavalry penetrated the flank of the Monan cavalry and killed 3,000 Monan cavalry, resulting in the rout of 40,000 Monan cavalry.

Jebe adjusted the formation, preparing to cut through the formation of the Monan cavalry again.

Prince Yan recalled Di Qing and Gongsun Zhan, and adjusted the formation in time to deal with Jebe's assault.

Something happened again, and another cavalry arrived!

This cavalry is also extremely fast, and it is thrown into battle, but the target of the attack is Jebel's cavalry!

Wei Qing personally bent his bow and shot arrows, shot a Mongolian cavalry, and led 20,000 Monan light cavalry to support!

After one or two rounds of cavalry shooting, Wei Qing's cavalry took out their spears or drew their ring-headed knives and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with Jebe's legions!

"Kill!"

Liu Hu roared and killed him with a long knife.

Seeing this, the rest of the Monan princes led their respective cavalry to go up and kill them.

They suffered a little loss in front of the loyal and filial piety army of Monk Wanyan Chen, and the anger they had accumulated finally broke out at this time!

Faced with the flanking attack of the two cavalry, Jebe was immediately defeated and led more than 10,000 remnants to flee.

Jebel found himself playing big.

His actions were detected by Wei Qing, and the result was that he lost.

If Wei Qing's cavalry hadn't come to support in time, or if Wei Qing's cavalry had arrived later, perhaps he could have achieved greater results.

"It is worthy of being one of the twin walls of the Han Empire, which makes people feel inexplicably reliable."

Seeing that Zhebei was defeated by the two cavalry, Prince Yan chose to retreat, and this time he finally raised his eyebrows.

Wei Qing looked in the direction of Jebe's escape, knowing that this was a difficult enemy, much more difficult to deal with than the Xiongnu.

"Let's return to Monan Dragon City."

Prince Yan and others cleaned up the battlefield and obtained a batch of war horses, but the princes of Monan did not lack Mongolian horses.

In fact, there are also a large number of Mongolian horses in Monan.

The advantage of Mongolian horses is not in explosiveness and endurance, but in the fact that they are easy to feed and have a low cost of raising horses......
