Rumble!

The army marched, leaving a mark on the ground of the plains, and the earth shook the mountains.

Chandragupta, the founder of the Mauryan Dynasty in ancient India, sat on the back of a war elephant and looked down on his army from a high position.

This time, the Moon Protector used 900 war elephants and 1,000 chariots to meet the enemy who entered his territory.

Like the stereotypical ancient Indian kings, the Moon Protector's army is larger than that of other legendary kings.

At the beginning, the Moon Protector had an army of 600,000 troops, most of which were low-level troops, and the low-level troops were basically infantry, famous for their crowd tactics.

In addition to a large number of infantry, the Moon Protector also had 30,000 cavalry.

Kautilya, the minister who assisted the Moon Protector in establishing the Mauryan Empire, sat on top of another war elephant: "There are no eternal enemies, and there are no eternal friends. But this battlefield is an exception. ”

The 600,000-strong army was on the battlefield of the national war, and the scale was extremely huge.

The Moon Protector has the largest number of troops and the lowest percentage of high-tier troops of all the Legendary Kings of the Kingdoms.

Even so, there aren't many lords who can withstand the Moon Protector's crowd tactics.

Oda Nobunaga and Isabella have not destroyed the Moon Protector for a long time, because of the large number of Moon Protectors, ordinary lords really can't destroy the 600,000 army.

However, after the consumption of Oda Nobunaga and Isabella, the Moon Protector only had 400,000 troops left.

This is also why Chu Tian chose the Moon Protector King to attack.

The Moon Protector's army of 400,000 may seem very large, but it is not necessarily stronger than the legions of Darius I and Basil II.

Darius I's undead army, Basil II's Varangian Guard, and the Ironclad Paladins were all top-level troops of various civilizations, which brought a lot of shock to Chutian.

In contrast, there are two means of the Moon Protector.

"First, the war elephants and chariots are striking arms. Second, the crowd tactics with low-level infantry and war elephants and chariots as the main force. ”

Chu Tian led an army of 150,000 to start the eastward journey, and in order to compete with Marshall, Constantine, Caesar and other lords for the first place, Chu Tian had to speed up the progress.

Chu Tian suspected that Constantine and Caesar had joined forces to brush up their battle exploits, and their points had risen rapidly, so the competition between the various lords was extremely fierce.

On the way of Chutian's march to the east, Chutian sent an envoy to win over Queen Isabella to return and report to Chutian.

"Isabella, what's her attitude?"

She didn't give a positive reply, only claiming that it would take time to think about it.

"It seems that Isabella is a wallhead, at least between our power and the threat of the kings of the West."

Chu Tian probably guessed that the envoy he sent frightened Queen Isabella of Spain.

As long as Isabella did not move until Chu Tian defeated the Moon Protector King, it was already a relatively ideal situation for Chu Tian.

As for Oda Nobunaga......

"Oda Nobunaga is probably not willing to let me succeed, so he will send troops to assist the Tsukigo. Try to defeat the Moon Protector before Oda Nobunaga's army arrives, and then teach Oda Nobunaga a lesson. ”

Chutian couldn't kill Oda Nobunaga in this national war, so he could only suppress Oda Nobunaga's momentum and save him from jumping off the main world.

Xia Liang said: "Oda Nobunaga has a population of 30 million. If the 300 daimyo were divided equally, each daimyo would have a population of only 100,000, which would be equivalent to a small castle. However, Oda Nobunaga nominally unified Dongying, and there were a lot of troops that could be used, which was equivalent to the three Western Regions Protectorates. ”

"Indeed...... The population of Dongying has always been small, but in fact it is quite a lot, more than that of Goryeo......"

Chu Tian was prone to an illusion. The population of the Warring States period was actually about the same as that of the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, but the number of daimyo in the early period was too large, so the number of troops in each daimyo was very small, just like a village war.

When the shogun unified Toei, Toei had a lot more troops at his disposal, and the number of troops in the Kyushu Expedition, the Odawara Battle, and the Sekigahara Battle had exceeded 200,000.

In the Wanli year, the Ming Dynasty fought with Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi sent more than 100,000 troops to the Lee Korean Kingdom, almost destroying the Lee Joseon, and there was still a group of reserve troops on the main island of Dongying.

Of course, the Ming emperor sent reinforcements to fight Toyotomi Hideyoshi for several years, and finally repelled Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

In "Lord", the recruitment and training speed is faster, and the Western Regions has a population of 10 million, and Huo An has fed 400,000 troops and city defense troops. Therefore, Dongying, with a population of 30 million, can have hundreds of thousands of troops for expeditions. If you fight on the four islands of Toei, you may reach a million soldiers.

After all, the population base determines the number of recruits.

"The population of Qingzhou and Xuzhou together is more than that of Dongying."

Chu Tian compared the population, his territory, Qingzhou and Xuzhou must have more population than Dongying.

Summer's cool reminder: "If Oda Nobunaga annexes Luzon (ancient Philippine civilization), then it may be. ”

"How many people is there in Luzon?"

"According to the data provided by players in Luzon, it is estimated that there are about 20 million people."

"Twenty million? More than I thought. ”

Chu Tian couldn't help but have a headache.

Originally, the Goryeo Kingdom and the Dongying Shogunate jumped up and down in front of Chutian, but if the populous Southeast Asian civilization jumped up and down again, Chutian would be angered.

The population of Southeast Asian civilization was less than half that of the Han Empire, however, this was already quite a staggering population size.

"Want to conquer Southeast Asia...... It is not easy to estimate, there are a large number of tropical rainforests and islands, and their troops are in the rainforest as difficult as the Arabs in the desert......"

Summer cool muttering.

"Let's deal with the Moon Protector King in front of me first."

Chu Tian put his attention on the battlefield of the National War.

Only by strengthening your own power through national wars can you pacify these clowns around you.

……

"Hattori Hanzo, is the information you provided true? Chu Zimou, the great lord of the Han Empire, really dared to move eastward? ”

Tokugawa Ieyasu repeatedly confirmed with Hanzo Hattori, the ninja in charge of Iga.

Hattori Hanzo nodded silently.

"The lord of the Han Empire actually attacked the city of the Moon Protector King under our threat, and he really didn't take our Dongying Shogunate seriously."

When Oda Nobunaga heard the news, there was a hint of annoyance in his tone.

This time, Oda Nobunaga gave a precious qualification for the national war to Tokugawa Ieyasu's subordinate Hattori Hanzo to spy on the news.

Hattori Hanzo lived up to expectations and learned of the Han army's marching movements for the first time.

"The Moon Protector King is our prey, and we can't let Chu Zimou snatch it."

Oda Nobunaga finally organized and chose to send troops, and organized six legions - the Oda Army, the Tokugawa Army, the Uesugi Army, the Shimazu Army, the Maori Army, and the Takeda Army, which were temporarily led by Oda Nobunaga, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Uesugi Kenshin, Shimazu Iehisa, Kobayakawa Takakei, and Takeda Tadayoshi (player).

As for Takeda Shingen, under the pressure of Oda Nobunaga, and because of his serious illness, he had to retire and hand over the Takeda family to Takeda Tadayoshi to take care of.

Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin were suppressed by Oda Nobunaga with the advantage of population and arquebus, and after the defeat, the territory was reduced, and it was difficult to refuse Oda Nobunaga's orders.

In the face of absolute economic disparity, even if Oda Nobunaga's commander is not necessarily higher than Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin, he can be suppressed by virtue of economic advantages.

Uesugi Kenshin was somewhat dissatisfied with Oda Nobunaga's rule, but Toei players seemed to be fed up with the melee between the daimyo and chose to side with Oda Nobunaga to end the Warring States Rebellion.

Of course, the troubled times are far from over, and once the Han Empire is unified, the Dongying shogunate will be put to the greatest test.

Of the six Toei legions, the Oda legion had a strength of 40,000 troops, while the other five legions combined had only 80,000 men.

In addition to these generals, Hattori Hanzo was in charge of reconnaissance, Takenaka Hanbei served as a military division, and Kyushu military god Tachibana Michiyuki served as a deputy military division and reserve general.

Oda Nobunaga brought the general Shibata Katsuie.

There was also a place given to Tokugawa Ieyasu's fierce general, who was compared to Zhang Fei's Honda Tadakatsu by the Toei people.

Counting Oda Nobunaga, there are a total of eleven big shots.

Oda Nobunaga deliberately rubbed with Chutian, wanting to test Chutian's strength, lest Chutian crusade against Dongying in the future, and he would be helpless.

The pressure on the suzerainty is terrifying.

The lineup that Oda Nobunaga brought to the war was already quite fantastic for Oda Nobunaga.

Oda Nobunaga's iron artillery team, Takeda's Akabi cavalry, Shimazu's Satsuma samurai, Iga's ninja ......

"I always feel that something is wrong......

As a player, Tadayoshi Takeda is a little nervous about challenging the authority of the suzerain.

Although this national war will not be killed, if it angers Chu Tian, Chu Tian will vent his anger to the Dongying Shogunate in the main world, then it will be a thousand miles of blood.

"I don't know if I can meet Emperor Himiko and Emperor Suiko......"

Takeda Tadayoshi thought of the two legendary kings of the Toei civilization.

Himiko, the queen of Yamatai during the Three Kingdoms period, and the first female emperor, Emperor Suiko of the Sui and Tang dynasties.

If the battlefield of the national war consisted of the territories of various legendary kings, then it is very likely that one of the queens of Himiko and Emperor Suiko was among them.

Oda Nobunaga's six legions marched to the castle where the Mauryan Protector of the Mauryan Dynasty was located.

Takeda Tadayoshi commanded the Red Reserve Cavalry as the vanguard.

On the other side, Chu Tian's army was already approaching the city of the Moon Protector King.

Hundreds of war horses dragged twenty Hongyi cannons to the battlefield.

Seeing the plain with wild grasses, Chu Tian couldn't help but sigh that he had finally left the desert and the Gobi-dominated terrain.

"According to the intelligence, the Moon Protector has about 400,000 troops, and he should be captured or killed alive as much as possible. He has a token on his body, and he got it for me. ”

Although Chu Tian did not have a good impression of the civil and military generals of ancient India, he did not have much interest.

But don't get the props in vain, even if they are rotten in your own hands, you can't cheapen others.

Jia Xu reminded Chu Tian: "Lord, the army of the Moon Protector King is here. ”

Chu Tian yawned and looked at the sky, the dense army of ancient India was surging, the difference was that in the battlefield of the national war, the legions of the classical period were also equipped with iron weapons.

Ancient India preferred to use crowd tactics than ancient China.

But the price to pay is the lack of high-level troops.
