Chapter 789: The Fifth Epic Battle Begins
"Did Wokotai replace the Kushan Empire with the Great Wan Kingdom? He is really cunning, the Dawan country can feed a few million people at most, and the Indus River valley is not much to support hundreds of millions of people. β
Chu Tian didn't know that Lu Su had sent an envoy to Lujiang County, he was more concerned about the Western Regions Protectorate, Huo An and Wokotai and the Guishan Empire were in the game, after all, it was Wokotai who gained a greater advantage by virtue of its geographical advantages.
At present, the Protectorate of the Western Regions occupies the Dawan Kingdom, turning the Dawan Kingdom into a puppet state, and gaining more than one million people.
Γgedei occupied the northern part of the Kushan Empire, occupying more than twenty cities.
"Let Wokotai expand, or send the legions of the Western Regions Protectorate into the customs?"
Chu Tian was still facing a major choice - whether to let the legions of the Western Regions Protectorate enter the customs to participate in the Northern War.
If even Huo An was involved in the Northern War, then the Northern War would involve almost all the princes of the Han Empire.
"Mu Ke, the lord of the Nanban, claimed that Liu Bei and Yang Su had gathered an army of 100,000 and were preparing to conquer the Nanban south and completely control the entire Yizhou."
"The population of the Nanban region is quite large, and there are many special types of troops. War elephants, rattan armor soldiers, and a special type of troops, the Wudang Flying Army, should not be so easy to defeat by Liu Bei. β
Chu Tian knew that the Southern Barbarian forces still had hole cards, and they were not the flying army, and after Zhuge Liang conquered Nanzhong, he used the local barbarian army source to form a special force, which was good at mountain warfare.
For a long time, Mu Ke rarely sent this special force, because the Wudang Flying Army was good at mountain warfare.
"Qi'er, call sister."
Joan of Arc took her daughter and wandered around the backyard of King Xia's mansion with Xiao Xuan.
Her daughter's hair is dark, but curly, and she is clearly a half-race.
Now Chu Qi has learned to walk and can use simple words.
Xiao Sui is a little envious of Joan of Arc, and now among the women in the backyard of King Xia's Mansion, Xiao Sui is the youngest, and she has no heirs.
"This time, it is said that Huo Qing took the initiative to ask to go to the battlefield, she should also have her own plans."
Xiao Xuan knew it.
Huo Qing has never determined his status, so he chose to take the initiative.
"Originally, I could also boost morale, but the lord needed a general to lead the crossbowmen, so I chose to bring Liang Hongyu. But that's fine, I have time to take care of Qi'er. She's as pretty as an angel. β
Joan of Arc picked up her daughter and couldn't put it down, she has changed a lot from a few years ago.
"The fourth difficulty, which is already quite difficult......"
In the summer, Liang's son studied in a private school, so she was a lot more relaxed.
She is now focusing on Chu Tian again, worried about the fifth epic battle, Chu Tian's safety.
The vast majority of lords did not choose the Hell difficulty, but it was only extremely difficult, which was already dangerous, and it depended on personal luck.
"When you go to this battle with Xianggong, you must take care of him, and if you encounter any danger, then come back immediately."
In summer, Liang told Huo Qing.
Huo Qing nodded again and again: "Hmm." β
Her two abilities can also come in handy.
In St. Petersburg, Catherine left her adjutant Sophia to take care of Peter and Anna's two children, and gathered Harald's Viking berserkers, Batory's Polish hussars, Boyer's cavalry, and the Tsar's Guard, ready to go to the battlefield of the Fifth Epic Battle.
Tsarist civilization also had its fair share of difficult battles.
"I just chose 'hard' mode and with my strength, I'll be back soon. You are optimistic about Peter and Anna for the time being, and if the lords of other civilizations attack our empire, I believe you should know what to do. β
Catherine was reassured that Sophia, who had been loyal to her for many years, was able to handle the events of her absence.
According to past experience, the dungeons inside the civilization do not last long, and they will end in a month or two.
Sophia replied respectfully: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, neither the Holy Roman Empire, nor Macedonia can withstand the cold winter of St. Petersburg and Moscow. β
β¦β¦
"During my absence, besieged Istanbul, depleted their food and grass, and wiped out their reinforcements. By the time I returned, I hoped that Istanbul had become part of the Kingdom of Macedonia. β
In the Macedonian kingdom, Alexander took only the companion cavalry and the silver shield soldiers.
Seleucus said, "King, elephant army, Spartan warriors, Hun cavalry...... These elites are waiting for you at any time. β
Another Macedonian general, Ptolemy, also said to Alexander, whom he feared: "King, the Greeks, Macedonians, and engineers from distant Egypt and Persia can help you build fortifications in the fastest possible time." β
"Seleucid, Ptolemy, there is no need. For me, this is just a trivial adventure, and my fellow cavalry and silver shield soldiers are my most trusted men, and they are enough. Leave as many legions as possible to besiege the Ottoman capital, and I will take this great city to prove that my greatness is above Istanbul. β
Alexander's interest in conquering Asia Minor was far greater than in the Fifth Epic Campaign.
Ottoman Turkey is a West Asian civilization of the same level as Persia and Arabia, and is one of the three major powers in West Asia.
By capturing Asia Minor, Alexander's population would have doubled.
At the same time, the Ottoman Turkish Empire possessed cold weapons and primitive firearms.
The city of Rome, the Three Wise Emperors, Constantine, Caesar, and Pompey all qualified for the Fifth Epic Battle.
"This time I brought four Roman legions, five thousand Genoese crossbowmen, and ......"
Constantine counted his troops, and the difficulty he chose was also "extremely difficult".
"I have a bad instinct that this time the three Roman emperors are engaged in an epic battle, and someone will encounter Hannibal, the holy commander of North African Carthage, and his Carthaginian legions will be our nightmare. It's not me, it's Caesar and Pompey. β
Constantine had a premonition of unease.
Carthage (ancient Tunisia) in North Africa once occupied ancient Spain and competed with Rome for hegemony, and Hannibal, the most powerful commander of Carthage, led the army from Spain over the Pyrenees and the Alps into northern Italy during the Second Punic War.
In the end, however, Hannibal lost to Rome and the Roman general, Scipio the Great.
If you encounter Hannibal, the sworn enemy of Rome with systematic reinforcement in the "Extremely Difficult" mode, then what awaits Constantine, Caesar, and Pompey will be defeated.
In Roman civilization, there was a high probability of two Punic wars.
"I have here Hannibal's sworn enemy, Scipio the Great, who has served me for many years, and has reached the peak of his attributes, even when he meets Hannibal...... In addition, there are also elite legions of other civilizations, which should also have the strength to fight......"
Constantine regained his confidence.
Holy Roman Empire, the new emperor ascends the throne, and Hohenzollern holds the imperial scepter.
The Holy Roman Empire not only has its own copies of civilizations, but also intersects with the lost Frankish civilizations, so a copy of the Frankish kingdom may appear.
"I hope not to encounter the Arab armies of the era of the Great Conquest, who once attacked Europe......"
Hohenzollern also had feared battles.
In the American Civilization Zone, Marshall, the lord of the United States, convened the lords of various states, and there was a lot of noise in the council, and they didn't know what copies of their civilization would have, after all, their history was too short, and there was almost no history of cold weapons.
"Quiet, quiet, we should work together to make the United States just as great in this world."
Marshall banged on the wooden table, calming the lords of the Americas a little.
"Marshall, in addition to the Fifth Epic Battle, our United States is also facing a shortage of slaves, and all players want to become slave owners."
"We don't have enough people, so let's go and conquer other civilizations and plunder the population. Our ancestors, not again, did this, everything was for profit. Now think about how we can get enough out of this epic battle. β
The time of the fifth epic battle is gradually approaching, and a temporary army of 40,000 people will follow Chutian to the dungeon to fight.
Zhao Yun was sent back by Chutian to temporarily replace Dian Wei.
Zhao Yun can ride a thousand, but Dian Wei's horse is not as good as Zhao Yun.
"You are optimistic that there are various battlefields in the Xia Wangfu, and each battlefield has a commander, and they will take care of the places under their jurisdiction. Although it is a bit similar to the festival envoy, the administrative power of each battlefield must always be controlled by the royal government. β
Before leaving, Chu Tian told Xia Liang, Xiao Xuan and others.
There is a cool summer and Xiao Xuan, as long as they don't fight, basically there will be no problems.
The vast majority of generals and troops are in the Overworld.
Lao Qin, they are also going to take the generals to the epic battle dungeon.
Xia Liang came to see him off with Wu'er: "It's still the same sentence, come back alive." β
Hua Mulan took her daughter Chu Xuan: "This time, you can't accompany Xianggong to fight, but Tieying Scout, they will be restrained by Xianggong and get the information they want for Xianggong." β
Chu Xuan said in a milky voice: "Daddy must come back." β
Chu Tian picked up his eldest daughter, this is the eldest princess of the Xia Palace, and her status is noble: "Xuan'er is also going to prepare to learn to read and write in a private school." β
"Ding! The fifth epic campaign begins, and all lords will be teleported to different types of dungeons of different difficulty. β
Chu Tian received a notification from the system and put down his eldest daughter, and Chu Xuan waved his hand at Chu Tian obediently.
The scene in front of him changed, and Chu Tian and the 40,000 army were teleported to an independent battlefield.
The sky was overcast, and a strong city stood not far away, surrounded by a moat, and a banner stood on the city wall.
"What kind of battlefield is this?"
Chu Tian looked at this city and had a bad premonition.
Extremely difficult dungeons are likely to be assigned to the disadvantaged camp.
This seemingly small city is nearby, do you want to attack the city, or defend it?
