Knock, knock, knock!

In the Dragon City of Monan, the dull and thick sound of war drums echoed on the vast grassland!

The ice and snow melted, the water and grass were fertile, the war horse was fat, and a fierce general held the battle flag, galloped on the horse, and the broken grass splashed!

The Han Empire gathered most of its national strength for this attack.

Of the 1.1 million soldiers and horses, 800,000 were assembled in Monan Dragon City!

Chu Tian, Lao Qin, Tongque, Prince Yan, Liu Hu and other lords stood on the wall of the Dragon City in Monan, witnessing the endless Han army, just the number of banners, as many as thousands, covering the sky and the sun.

"On my side, those who have the aura of the whole army, I, Wang Qian, Wanyan Zongwang, and Yue Fei have exceeded the limit of three auras, which is enough to divide the army into two ways."

Lao Qin was in charge of the Left Route Army, and in addition to his Guanlong Army, the Left Route Army also included Yue Fei and Li Mu's Bingzhou Army and Mo Nan Army.

Chu Tian also briefly counted the generals on his side, those who have the aura of the whole army, in addition to himself, there are also Wei Qing, Cao Cao, Hua Mulan, Xie Xuan, as well as Sun Bin and Cao Di, on a battlefield, these effects have even overflowed. For the three auras of a battlefield, the commander shall designate which three auras of the whole army shall be applied according to the situation.

There are also dozens of guide cars in the million-strong army to avoid getting lost.

The 100,000 Youzhou army, with Wei Qing, Cao Cao, and Zhou Yafu as the main force, as for Xu Rong and Xiahou Yuan's Shensu Army, which was heavily damaged in the battle with Tuoba Xianbei, was still resting. Therefore, this time the Divine Speed Legion did not participate in the expedition, but was responsible for defending Youzhou.

In addition to the 200,000 Xuzhou Army and the 100,000 Youzhou Army, Tongque's 100,000 Yangzhou Army and Chutian all the way.

The commander of the 100,000 Yangzhou Army was Xie Xuan, the founder of the Beifu Army.

Xie Xuan was dressed in white, with the bookish aura of a disciple of the great family and the murderous aura of the battlefield.

In ancient times, there were not only children of the family, but also countless outstanding people, and many people in the late Han Dynasty were from the family.

Xie Xuan came from the Xie family, one of the most famous families in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

In the old days, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people. Wang Xie, that is, the Wang family and the Xie family of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Even if the emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty had to act according to the attitude of the family, the Langya Wang family was evenly matched with the royal family at that time, so there was a saying that "the king and the horse share the world".

Chutian suspected that Xie Xuan, who was the founder of the Beifu Army, also had the level of an emperor-level commander, after all, the Beifu Army was full of talents and defended Jianghuai for the Eastern Jin Dynasty, even the emperor Liu Yu of the Southern Dynasty was born in the Beifu Army.

This time, the Beifu army was going to deal with the Mongol cavalry on the steppe.

Xie Xuan fled from the north to the south from the crowd during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and selected brave and warlike warriors to form the Beifu Army, so the Beifu Army was also good at fighting on land, rather than a complete naval division.

This is also the special feature of the Beifu Army, which can be used for land and water battles.

Chu Tian was quite covetous of Tongque's Beifu army.

The Beifu Army existed for a longer time than the Yuejia Army, and it influenced the history of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

"There is the Gobi Desert between Monan and Mobei, and after the soldiers are divided into two routes, it is difficult to know the progress of the other side. can only rely on tacit understanding. Once you encounter a city, capture it, then leave the player behind and use the system to convey information. Also, beware of fighting to the death. ”

Chu Tian pressed one hand on the hilt of the sword and said to Lao Qin.

This expedition was too dangerous, and no one could guarantee that Temujin would lead the attack on any of the three routes.

The pressure of the soldiers and horses on the three routes is to reduce the pressure of supplies and speed up the march, otherwise it will be a disaster for a million troops to block the road.

The second is to put pressure on Temujin to take care of one thing and lose the other.

The disadvantage of dividing the army is that it is easy to be defeated one by one, and you have to trust each other, and you can't make progress slower than the other two.

"You'd better ask for more blessings, I won't die so soon."

Lao Qin didn't care much.

Under the city, Wang Qian, Meng Tian, Lu Bu, Li Dao, and Guo Yan set out again.

Lao Qin recruited a group of recruits during this time to supplement the losses of Qin Ruishi, the Flying Bear Army, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, and the Golden Fire Cavalry.

In particular, the Flying Bear Army and the Golden Fire Cavalry, after the end of last year's war, were less than 1,000 horsemen.

The average rank of this group of recruits was not high, and after Meng Tian's simple training, they reluctantly participated in this expedition to train their troops in battle.

Lu Bu carried Fang Tian's halberd, and after his official expedition to the Western Regions, he was named Wen Hou by the old Qin, and he was full of spirit.

Under the maintenance of the old Qin, the official system within the Han Empire had not collapsed.

Several princes went down to the city and went to their respective armies, ready to take command of their troops and horses.

Left Route Army, coach Lao Qin, deputy marshals Prince Yan and Yue Fei.

The middle route army, the coach Chutian, and the deputy marshal Tongque.

Liu Hu, the lord of Monan, was left in Monan Dragon City to guard the city.

"With such a large scale of the expeditionary force, the number of troops used is ten times that of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and there are at least five emperor-level commanders, at least ten emperor-level generals, and no less than dozens ......of people above the king's level."

Liu Hu couldn't help but be thrilled when he saw hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses arrayed, the momentum was huge, the armor was cold, and the soldiers were strong and strong.

Such a lineup, even if it is Temujin, has to be weighed.

Temujin could only rely on Mobei's geographical advantages and some of the system's bonuses to offset the Han army's superiority in generals and troops.

In the battle of the Western Regions, Temujin also consumed the logistics of the Han army as much as possible, but unfortunately miscalculated.

Chu Tian came to the Guards Legion, and the legion under his direct command was the Five Colonels of the Northern Army and the Praetorian Guard Heavy Cavalry (Tiger Army, Xuanjia Army, Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and Low-level Heavy Cavalry).

The women's legion formed by the four major women, except for the newcomer Fan Lihua, who has no legion, already has light cavalry, heavy infantry, crossbowmen and other troops.

Mu Guiying and Liang Hongyu quickly accepted the newcomer Fan Lihua.

Under the premise of Fan Lihua's presence, the four major women gathered, triggering the characteristics of the "four major women", with high martial arts and bravery, and complete troops, their cooperation made the women's army a main force in Chutian, and its importance was greater than before.

The four female generals are all good at using spears, heroic postures, riding on war horses, and looking ahead.

Behind them, elite legions such as Song Chongbu, Iron Eagle Scouts, and Jianyan Crossbowmen were dressed in sharp clothes.

Almost all heavy infantry were equipped with war horses to reduce the burden on the heavy infantry.

We can't let the heavy infantry go on an expedition of thousands of miles every day wearing dozens of pounds of ironclad......

Huo Qing, the eldest lady from the Western Regions Protectorate, was very familiar with the desert and Gobi terrain, and did not resist this expedition, on the contrary, her characteristics were conducive to marching.

"Qingqing girl, you must protect yourself on this expedition, otherwise Huo An will make trouble for me. Zhou Cang, be sure to protect the Qingqing girl. ”

Chu Tian specially transferred Zhou Cang, who had a very low sense of existence, to protect Huo Qing.

Huo Qing is an important chess piece in the future annexation of the Western Regions Protectorate, if something happens to Huo Qing, there will definitely be a gap between him and Huo An, after all, Huo Qing is the other party's own sister.

"The women's army seems to have formed four women, and our Northern Army has five tigers, how can we bow to the wind!"

Mi Fang led the fierce generals Wu Anguo, Xing Daorong, Lü Kuang, Lü Xiang, Cai Zhong, and Cai He to the expedition.

The Five Tigers of the Northern Army have become seven people, and there seems to be nothing wrong with it.

Cai Zhong and Cai He were temporarily pulled in to make up the numbers.

Although Cai Zhong and Cai He were useless, Yang Shilang gave Chu Tian a sum of gold and silver in order to redeem Cai Zhong and Cai He, who were Mrs. Cai's mother's family.

Chu Tian considered that Cai Zhong and Cai He's panels were not even comparable to ordinary NPC generals, and it was not interesting to detain them, so it was better to exchange them for gold and silver.

It would be better if Yang Shilang appointed Cai Zhong and Cai He as the generals of the Navy, because Cai Zhong and Cai He replaced other generals of the Navy, but would reduce the combat power of the Jingzhou Navy......

But before releasing Cai Zhong and Cai He, Chu Tian planned to squeeze out their surplus value.

"Big brother, if you can take the head of Temujin, then you may become a great general in the future."

Xing Daorong carried the axe and suggested to Mi Fang.

"Really?"

Mi Fang touched his beard, he participated in the expedition to the Western Regions, and with his repeated defeats of Temujin and Chagatai, he was about to be promoted to general of the miscellaneous number.

General Miscellaneous was already a high-ranking general in the Han Dynasty, and Zhao Yun followed Liu Bei for more than ten years, and was only promoted to General Yijun after Liu Bei entered Shu.

"That's right, big brother, we will definitely help you capture Temujin alive and present it to the lord."

Wu Anguo and Mi Fang have been stumbling and crawling for many years, becoming friends of life and death.

The higher Mi Fang climbed, the higher their status as the five tiger generals of the Northern Army.

Capturing Temujin alive, such a credit can even become the resume of the promotion of generals in the future.

Qin Liangyu and Hua Mulan were made marquis for killing Chagatai, if they captured Temujin alive, would they be able to pay it back?

"Okay, our Five Tigers of the Northern Army will definitely capture Temujin alive on this expedition!"

Mi Fang fought with Temujin many times, but he fought a good battle, and was instigated by a group of brothers, and his confidence suddenly increased, and his goal was to capture Temujin alive.

"We, the Lu brothers, are willing to help the eldest brother!"

Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang were greatly infected, and they were brave for Mi Fang.

"These people must be crazy, and they counted us as one of the five tiger generals of the Northern Army......"

Cai Zhong and Cai He were forcibly counted into the Five Tigers of the Northern Army by Mi Fang, and they couldn't help but be depressed, and the most terrible thing was that Mi Fang seemed to want to take them with them and challenge the world conqueror Temujin on this expedition.

"March to Mobei!"

Chutian announced the order to go out, and thousands of troops and horses were dispatched!

The Guards Legion sent 200,000 troops, with the White-robed Legion as the vanguard.

Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun served as the vanguard generals of the Middle Route Army, while Chen Qingzhi's white-robed army served as the main cavalry of the vanguard.

The five tiger generals of the Northern Army did not continue to chat, turned over and rode their horses, led the five colonels of the Northern Army, and followed Yu Chutian.

Wei Chigong and Cheng Yanjin led the Xuanjia Army, Tai Shici led the Tiger Ben Army and the low-level heavy cavalry, and Huaxiong commanded the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to form the Praetorian Heavy Cavalry Corps.

The cowardly Xue army captured in the Western Regions, Chu Tian did not use it.

He could not guarantee whether the surrendered cowardly Xue army would suddenly turn back when it encountered Temujin.

The player lord cannot check the loyalty of the soldiers, so there is a possibility that the soldiers mutinied and fled, and some generals with poor military management ability and irritable temperament may not be able to control their soldiers.

For example, Zhang Yide, who loves soldiers like his son, and Tang Xuanzong was forced to death by soldiers Yang Guifei.

The four female generals of Hua Mulan, Mu Guiying, Liang Hongyu, and Fan Lihua led their respective soldiers and horses, and Hua Mulan handed over the low-level light cavalry other than the Iron Eagle Scout to Fan Lihua as Fan Lihua's troops.

Li Xiuning's women's army became Chutian's descendants, and the Shenji battalion did not participate in the expedition because of insufficient reserves of black powder.

The great battle of the expedition to the Western Regions was too ruthless, and the Shenji Battalion made repeated meritorious contributions, which consumed the few precious black powders. Without black powder, even a tenth-order firearm is useless......

The Youzhou Army was in the rear of the Guards Corps, with Wei Qing as the main general and Cao Cao and Zhou Yafu as the deputy generals.

Li Guang and Xue Wanche served as the vanguard generals of the Youzhou Army.

"Chu Zimou's northern army is really strong, and my southern army can only be blocked by the sailors."

The bronze-finch landed in the rear to protect the grain carts, and his army of 100,000 men, mostly infantry and crossbowmen, was adept at defending.

The white-robed hunting of the Beifu Legion is somewhat similar to the white-robed legion.

The 400,000 army drove millions of cattle and sheep and tens of thousands of grain carts into the desert for hundreds of miles.

A war eagle spread its wings, then swept down, landing on the shoulders of the Mongol general Mu Huali.

"Hara and Lin, Mobei Dragon City, the purpose of the Han army must be to conquer these two cities."

Mu Huali was also followed by four Tanmachi pioneer generals, but his son was defeated and killed in the battle with the Han army.

Kuo Kuo Buhua asked: "The Great Khan wants us to delay the attack on the Han army in Mobei Dragon City, but our way, the soldiers and horses may not be as good as the Han army, how can we do it?" ”

"Before the Han army crossed the Gobi, they plundered their cattle and sheep, burned their grain wagons, and cut off their supplies."

Hala and Lim and Temujin watched the migration of a number of tribesmen to Central Asia.

Wenchen Yelu Chucai said beside him: "This is already the third batch of tribes to go west, and after sending this group of tribes, the pressure on grain and grass in Mobei has been relieved, which also means that the number of warriors who can be used is less." ”

"The huge population is also a burden, and if you give it to Ogedai and drag them, they will use this population to create their own khanate. As for us, we can fight the Han army without the burden in Mobei. Have the arrows of the Golden Horde and the Seljuk Empire been delivered? ”

"The Golden Horde and the Seljuks sent some weapons to Mobei, and most of the Seljuk Empire's treasury was moved to Hala and Lin. If this battle is lost...... It was a heavy blow to the Golden Horde and the Seljuks......"

Yelu Chucai counted the supplies, and he also had a bit of a headache, Temujin provoked too many strong enemies, except for a few civilizations in Central Asia that were defeated, other empires with a little background were not easy to provoke.

The Persian Empire has an ancient history, the Arab Empire is a bunch of madmen, and the Grand Duchy of Moscow has a population and a first-mover advantage.

Arslan, the remnant of the Seljuk Empire, is still organizing a revolt.

The four great civilizations had formed a network of encirclements against Temujin.

"This battle must be won before we can conquer the West."

Temujin's tone was heavy.

Crassus followed behind Temujin, and under the force of the cowardly generals of the Xue army, such as Chi Lao Wen and Borshu, the aged Crassus did not dare to act rashly.

He had learned that the most powerful empire in the East had gathered a million-strong army against the Mongol Empire.

In the eyes of Rome, which had not yet established a great empire, a million-strong army was probably something they could not imagine.

Crassus looked at the eagle banner of the Roman legions.

A gust of wind swept by, and the eagle flag hunted.

The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying!
