Chapter 597: The Five Great Civilizations (I)

"This is the Luntai, the seat of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Western Regions Protectorate? In order to hold off the Mongol Empire and several khanates, the Imperial Protectorate must have lost a lot of soldiers and horses. The walls of this place seem to have been bombarded by counterweight trebuchets. ”

A group of lords dressed in Persian silk robes came to Luntai City and looked around.

The situation of Luntai City is not much different from the city where their Persian Empire was attacked, so that the lords of the Persian Empire seem to have experienced the baptism of the Battle of Luntai City.

"The Western Regions protect Huo'an."

"Rest in peace Ardashir, the commander of the Imperial Praetorian Guard."

Two lords belonging to the Han Empire and the Second Persian Empire respectively, meet.

Although the Han Empire and the Persian Empire were mortal enemies in the Third National War, at this time, for the common interests of both sides, they could only join forces.

The situation of the Persian Empire was not much better than that of the Han Empire, and even worse, half of the territory fell, and the Arab Empire had to be brought with it to resist the offensive of the Ilkhanate.

Now, the Han Empire and the Grand Duchy of Moscow advocated the Five Kingdoms to crusade against Temujin, which was the prototype of a real national war.

The pressure on the Persian Empire was too great, so when the lords of the Persian Empire received the invitation of the Luntai Assembly, they immediately came to Luntai City to hold a conference with the Han Empire, the Grand Duchy of Moscow, and the Arab Empire after the war eased a little.

At the Luntai Conference, the five empires gathered.

Although the Grand Duchy of Moscow is still nominally a Grand Duchy, it is actually no different from a real empire, with a civilization of tens of millions of people, and the population is more than that of the Persian Empire and the Arab Empire.

The Han Empire, the Grand Duchy of Moscow, the Persian Empire, the Arab Empire, the Seljuk Empire, and the Mongol Empire, as well as the Ilkhanate, Chagatai Khanate, and Golden Horde were on the offensive.

This is the Eastern Continent Battlefield, which involves nine major civilizations in a great war.

"I heard that the Khorasan region of the Sabbath Empire is completely occupied by the Ilkhanate, and the Ilkhanate is on an expedition to your capital, I wonder what your pressure is?"

Hoan was undaunted by Ardashir, the first lord of the Persian Empire.

The Persian Empire had a population of 20 to 30 million, and the population of Hoan's Western Protectorate was also quite large. If it weren't for the occupation of part of the territory by the Ögedai Khanate and the Chagatai Khanate, and the division of part of the population of the Western Regions Protectorate, the population of Hoan would only be slightly smaller than that of the Persian Empire.

Ardashir mentioned the great battle with the Ilkhanate, and his expression was not good: "The great battle was very fierce, three cities have been slaughtered by towing mines, and dozens of cities have been captured. ”

"The strength of the Ilkhanate is so strong?"

"They have a general who can provide a lot of bonuses to siege equipment, and a ninth-order siege weapon, the Xiangyang Cannon, which is difficult to stop his attack unless it is the most advanced fortress. I heard that your Luntai City was besieged by Ögedei and Yelu Dashi, and held out for nearly three months. However, if the group of people from the Ilkhanate is allowed to arrive, it may soon fall. ”

Ardashir mentions a siege general of the Ilkhanate.

Hoan knows that there are some heroes who can provide huge bonuses to siege machines.

Some generals are good at attacking cities, and I'm afraid even Le Yi can't match them. The city walls of the Song and Yuan dynasties were close to the peak of the cold weapon era, and the intensity of the siege was also greater. Some of Le Yi's siege abilities were also dispersed to the aura of the whole army.

The Chagatai Khanate and the Ilkhanate had a number of military generals who were serving their Great Khan.

Only the unfortunate Ögedai Khanate was destroyed ahead of schedule, and not many famous generals were born.

Huo An couldn't help but rejoice in the early destruction of the Ögedai Khanate.

The Chagatai Khanate and the Ilkhanate have given birth to many famous generals, and the Ögedai Khanate has not heard of any powerful generals except for Ogedei.

"The people of the Arab Empire, they haven't arrived yet?"

"Not ...... yet"

Huo An was responding to the lords from the Persian Empire, when the teleportation array of Luntai City suddenly flashed white light again, and a group of Arab Empire lords dressed differently from other lords appeared.

This group of lords seems to be familiar with Ardashir of the Persian Empire, with whom he is both an ally and an enemy.

If there was no Ilkhanate, perhaps the Arab Empire would be with the Persian Empire.

"The Han Empire, during the Third National War, we used to be enemies."

The aristocracy of the Arab Empire, led by him, took the initiative to talk to Hoan.

In the third national war, the Han Empire did hit the Persian Empire and the Arab Empire and other West Asian civilizations.

"This time, that time. Now we have a common enemy. ”

Huo An took the two lords of the empire to the capital of Luntai City.

Chu Tian, Lao Qin, Xu Fengnian, Ye Katerina and other lords were already waiting in the mansion.

The lord of the Arab Empire also has a group of famous generals under his command.

The Arab Empire had a glorious history during the Tang Dynasty, with the great Arab conquest, and its territory stretched from Spain in the west to Anxi in the east.

Coupled with the characteristics of civilization, not many civilizations dare to underestimate the Arab Empire.

Two of the three powerful civilizations in West Asia participated in the Luntai City Conference.

"Attacking the Mongol Empire and the three khanates at the same time? This suggestion appealed to us. ”

The lord of the Arab Empire tapped on the wooden table, and behind him, there were two close-fitting generals with resolute faces, one of whom made Chu Tian feel a little threatened.

Now these people may be allies, but in the future, they may become enemies, which is normal.

Huo An sat on the main seat, and the location of the Western Regions Protectorate was very special, close to Central Asia, barely located in the middle of Asia, so Huo An temporarily presided over the cooperation.

"The Tugril Sultan of the Seljuk Empire, why hasn't it arrived yet? The appointed time has passed. ”

Lao Qin seemed to be extremely disgusted with those who were late.

Ardashir of the Persian Empire said: "It is said that Tugril was defeated in the battle of the Ili River Valley by Chagatai and Ogedai, losing more than 100,000 cavalry, and the Seljuk Empire was divided into the main battle faction and the compromise faction. Among them, the compromisers even wanted to pay tribute to the Chagatai Khanate in exchange for peace. ”

"Nagong will never be able to buy peace."

Chu Tian thought of the Northern Song Dynasty, and it didn't take long for him to fall into the country.

"The Seljuk Empire Tugril Sultan to!"

The cavalry outside the lord's palace reported that soon a sultan with several Seljuk generals came to the capital.

The sultan's look did not look very good, after all, the Seljuk Empire lost more than 100,000 in the Ili Valley.

The population of the Seljuk Empire was less than that of the Han Empire, which was hundreds of millions, so the loss of 100,000 cavalry was a heavy blow to the Seljuk Empire.

The Seljuk Empire, like the Mongol Empire, was ruled by the Tugril Sultan because the monarch was too strong.

The defeat in the Ili Valley put the position of the Tugril Sultan in jeopardy.

Tugril was overwhelmed by this.

"It is an honor to accept your invitation to join forces with you in dealing with the punishment from above."

The Sultan of Tugril also thought that the Mongol Empire and the four khanates had come as a punishment from heaven on the eastern continent.

The Mongol Empire and the Four Khanates were the greatest threat to the original civilization.

The population of the eastern continent is already larger than that of the western continent, so the pressure is also greater, and the steppes of East Asia are monster houses, and from time to time powerful nomadic civilizations will be born.

"Seljuk Empire, how many more cavalry can be sent?"

Hoan stared at the Sultan of Tugril.

If it weren't for the arrival of the Chagatai Khanate and the Ögedai Khanate, which defeated the Seljuk Empire and the Khorezm Kingdom, then the decisive battle against the Tugril Sultan would have been the army of the Western Protectorate of the Western Regions.

The eyes of the Sultan of Tugril were sharp, and he was still a generation of heroes: "As long as I give the order, the entire empire can be mobilized, and I can get 200,000 cavalry." ”

It is worthy of a nomadic civilization with an astonishing mobilization rate.

Chu Tian, Lao Qin and others were all impressed by the Seljuk Empire's astonishing mobilization rate.

The population of the Seljuk Empire should be less than 10 million, but after losing more than 100,000 cavalry in the Battle of the Ili River Valley, it was still able to levy 200,000 cavalry, such a mobilization rate, even higher than that of the Mongol Empire, may also be related to the faith of the Seljuk Empire.

It's just that the 200,000 cavalry of the Seljuk Empire, what is the combat effectiveness, Chu Tian and others are not clear, after all, the Seljuk Empire's army of a hundred battles must have suffered a lot of casualties in the Ili River Valley, and it is very likely that the temporarily mobilized cavalry or herdsmen are newly recruited.

"I join forces with you on an expedition against the Chagatai Khanate in the Ili Valley. The Persian Empire and the Arab Empire joined forces to attack the Ilkhanate. Catherine, your coalition army of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, against the Golden Horde, as for the princes of Guannai, expedition to Mobei, completely destroy the royal court of Temujin. In this way, the fourth national war in the Eastern Continent can be regarded as coming to an end. ”

According to the idea provided by Catherine, Hoan divided the tasks to the sultans or lords present and agreed on a time to march together.

In the Eastern Continent, except for the Mughal Empire in India, which did not know what it was doing, the obscure Kushan Empire, and Dongying, who was still crusading against the Ezo people in Hokkaido, almost all the civilizations of the Eastern Continent (the Grand Duchy of Moscow was half the smallest civilization in the East) were involved in this huge war.

The five civilizations joined forces to deal with one empire and three khanates, with a total of nine powerful countries at war, with more than a few million troops, clashing in the main world.

The Overworld, which has never organized such a huge offensive, has the flavor of a national war.

As for the barbarians of the Western Continent, Chu Tian and they would not pay attention to it.

The Western continent is also estimated to have formed an alliance, and Alexander joined forces with Constantine, Caesar and others to suppress the barbarians.

After the death of Sultan Suleiman, the Ottoman Turkish Empire, a civilization in Western Asia, was divided internally, coupled with barbarian activities, and was in disarray.

The barbarians of the Western Continent have a 50% bonus system, and after the cavalry of Attila of the "Whip of God" has been strengthened, both offensive and defensive and speed have been improved, and the front of the army is directed at Rome.

On the American continent, the 100% systematically strengthened indigenous civilization is fighting with the United States in various valleys, and the lords of the United States are bursting troops to suppress these counterattacking indigenous civilizations.

The overall national power of the United States is not weak, and it has more firearms than other civilizations, but the power of the United States is decentralized, and the number of lords is quite large, equivalent to the Federation, so there are no particularly prominent lords.

The culture of decentralization gives the United States a disadvantage in a sense.

Marshall, the First Lord of the United States, sent a musket militia against an indigenous tribe, only to be ambushed and thousands of men annihilated.

Marshall angrily sent more troops to encircle and suppress the indigenous tribes: "We need to unite and become a stronger civilization, not fight alone!" ”

Marshall tried to convince other nearby lords to join his alliance.
