"Lord, the building ship is still under construction, due to the previous attack on the port by the Jiangdong naval army, the progress has been somewhat delayed, however, according to the report from the dock, the first building ship will be completed next month!"

Lu Chen said: "Very good! Now we must build armaments and warships as soon as possible, and it is expected that in three months, the first expedition will be ushered in! ”

Tian Zhong nodded.

He said: "My lord, there is news from the northern border, there is movement at the opposite border, it seems that it is an army from the Western Regions, they are about to break through the border!" ”

"What?"

Lu Chen didn't expect Tian Zhong to tell him such a news.

He said: "Immediately order Xu Huang to lead 30,000 tiger troops to the border of the country, we can't let the opposite country open the border first!" Damn it, sooner rather than later, it's just this time! ”

Tian Zhong saw Lu Chen's face change suddenly, and immediately realized that the national border seemed to be very important.

Tian Zhong naturally didn't know.

But Lu Chen knew.

Because it is not Mongolia on the other side of the border, but the Empire of Sabbath in western Asia, which is a dynasty of countries in western Asia bordering Europe.

Situated on the Silk Road, a trade route between the Roman Empire and the Han Dynasty in the Mediterranean, the Anxi Empire made the empire a commercial center and was considered one of the four great powers of Asia and Europe at that time, alongside the Han Dynasty, Rome, and the Kushan Empire.

The most special thing about the Empire of Sabbath is nomadism.

Their army was also dominated by heavy cavalry, light cavalry, and nomadic archers.

But.

They weren't like the Han dynasty ruled like that.

It can be said that they are more like the aristocracy and the slave system, the heavy cavalry is composed of nobles, whether it is armor or cavalry spears are the strongest, while the light cavalry is much simpler, they are mainly based on compound bows, but the number is frightening.

Somewhat similar to the Huns, everyone is a light cavalry, and everyone is a nomadic archer.

The Anxi Empire can be called the Han Dynasty, which naturally has its own uniqueness, and the method of dealing with the cavalry can only be resisted by the city, but unlike the Han Dynasty princes, they will not target the common people.

But the Empire of Sabbath is different.

They are all armies controlled by West Asian players.

Lu Chen pondered for a while and said: "Then send an order to Tian Yu and order the three thousand Shenji crossbow battalions to rush back to Shengle immediately, and the Liaodong territory will be guarded by General Yan Rou!" ”

"My lord, are you going to the border yourself? Who should guard the state? ”

Xu Rong needs to guard the territory of Youzhou, since he got the territory of Youzhou, Lu Chen only let Yang Feng guard in Jinyang Town, and now Lu Chen led his troops to the northwest border.

And the state defense must be put in place.

Lu Chen thought for a while and said, "General Zilong will go to the town to guard and merge the state!" ”

"But!"

Lu Chen waved his hand and said, "It's okay!" I believe in General Zilong. ”

Tian Zhong glanced at Lu Chen.

Lu Chen was embarrassed.

"General Gao Shun and General Zilong are going together!"

Zhao Yun went to guard the state alone, none of them were at ease, and Lu Chen was not the kind of person who was at ease, so naturally he would not let Zhao Yun guard the state alone.

Gao Shun's 800 trapping camp went to merge with the state.

That's it!

Day 3.

Lu Chen arrived at the border.

This place borders the Western Regions, and according to the geographical area, it is directly above Liangzhou, and because the national border has not been opened, there is now a snow-capped mountain in front of it.

If the borders are open.

The snow-capped mountains will disappear, and the territory that will open up is a desert.

On the back of the border.

A Western-style iron army is attacking the last beast, and the army they have come this time is the knight army of the Rest Empire, and they have chosen the Han Dynasty in the face of the opening of the high borders.

That's when it happened.

"Ding! From the world announcement, the East Asian region has opened a high border, please pay attention to players. ”

"Ding! The borders of East Asia and West Asia are opened, and since the opener belongs to the Huaxia region, the circulation language is selected as Huaxia, so please pay attention to the defense of the empires! ”

Two beeps sounded.

This makes the players of the Rest Empire full of doubts.

Just when they were about to open the border, they didn't expect to be taken by the people of the Han Dynasty!

In the Han Dynasty.

Li Long and the others were equally surprised.

You must know that his territory is Liangzhou, and the only way for West Asia to enter East Asia is Liangzhou, if Shengle is not unified, but now there is also the possibility of being invaded by the forces of West Asia!

"Immediately order Han Sui to go to Zhangye City to garrison and defend against attacks from West Asian forces!"

Li Long immediately ordered.

Still scolded secretly in his heart: "Su Datuo is really good at finding the time!" ”

Just three hours ago.

Li Long was already preparing to send troops to Yizhou.

But the tone interrupted his chance.

Zhang Fei and Guan Yu are both in Luoyang.

Now is the right time to send troops to Yizhou.

However, now it is still important in Liangzhou, and he immediately sent Hua Xiong to lead an army of 50,000 back to Liangzhou to guard Guo Huangcheng.

As for.

The same goes for Yu Wenyuan.

He had made an appointment with Li Long to attack Yizhou, but now Li Long must return to Liangzhou to defend, so he can only give up this plan now.

"Su Datuo is really going to cause trouble!"

When the other players heard that the borders were opened, they were a little worried about the battle of the borders.

West Asia is different from the Wakos.

They have their own system.

has its own armament characteristics.

It has military strength comparable to that of the Han court.

"The Rest Empire is unified! The current situation of the Han Dynasty is only afraid that they will take advantage of it! ”

They were worried.

That's when it happened.

There is already a river of blood at the border.

One by one, the iron knights armed to the face, they rushed in a neat row with four-meter riding spears, there were more than 40,000 of them, and the tiger army under Lu Chen's command was stabbed thousands by the opposite iron knight because they failed to defend their faces.

Such a result.

made Lu Chen immediately order a retreat.

Retreat with the wounded soldiers on the battlefield.

But.

The light cavalry on the opposite side also suffered numerous casualties.

"Retreat, retreat thirty miles."

The snow-capped mountains disappeared, and on the opposite side was a desert, which was completely different from the territory of Shengle Capital, Lu Chen and the others retreated, and the border area fell into the hands of the Rest Empire.

The first battle ended in defeat.

When Lu Chen thought of the four-meter-long riding spear, he couldn't help but think of the horse spear used by the Xianbei Guard.

The spear in the hands of the Tiger Benjun was like a toy in front of the four-meter-long cavalry gun on the opposite side, and even the enemy's body could not get close.

Return to the improvised defensive walls that had been built earlier.

They rely on the wall to defend against the attack of the Iron Knight on the opposite side.

In Liangzhou.

Guo Huangcheng.

A knight pierced the armor of the two Han soldiers with a riding spear, looked at the soldiers who died under the knight's riding spear, and couldn't help but laugh: "Is the Han Dynasty so vulnerable? What a disappointment, haha. ”

One by one, the Han guards were killed by the cavalry spears of the Rest Empire.

Guo Huangcheng fell.

After they occupied Guohuang City, they immediately escorted the Han people as slaves in the city, and they began to plunder and sweep, plundering all the grain, armaments, water sources, etc.

After capturing Guo Huangcheng.

A strong blonde appeared in Guo Huang City.

She was dressed in Western cloth armor, with a lace-like corset on it, a Western-style sword, a delicate dagger hanging from her waist, and a boat hat beside her, she looked at the city at her feet, facing such a city built by the Han Dynasty, she seemed to be full of strong interest, and when the players in the back saw this, they only dared to look at it from a distance, but they did not dare to move forward.

"Miss Unal, we have found a city to the east! There is an abundance of fresh water sources. ”

Unal, the blonde woman, held a thin sword in her hand, and said, "You leave here with the slaves. ”

The knight nodded.

Unar was heading for Xingqing City to the east with the knights.

Facing the movements of the blonde woman.

Lu Chen didn't know for the time being.

He is still defending against the onslaught of the opposite Knights.

"Damn it! I knew I would have brought a crossbowman! ”

Suddenly.

He came up with the idea of making a powerful crossbow that could be used in the army!

The development of the bow and crossbow was much lax before, but now when facing the 4-meter-long cavalry spear on the opposite side, he suddenly felt a little regretful.

In the face of the transformation of the cavalry must be done as soon as possible.

Western helmets had to be made, riding guns had to be imitated, and chain mail, stirrups, and so on on the opposite side had to be made, all of which were special armaments that only had in the West.

But Lu Chen is now going to imitate it.

It must be imitated.

It's a loss.

As night falls.

A hasty march rode on war horses to the border of the country.

They were the Shenji crossbow battalion that had been attacking from Liaodong for several days.

That's when it happened.

A scout came with the news: "General Tian Yu, Xingqing City is in an emergency!" ”

"What's going on?"

The scout hurriedly said: "There is an iron knight in the west who suddenly attacked Xingqing City, General Tian Zeshou has died, and now Xingqing City is in danger, please General Tian Yu quickly go to the rescue of Xingqing City!" ”

Tian Yu suddenly replied: "Got it! The Divine Machine Crossbow Battalion immediately set off towards Xingqing City! ”

Xingqing City is the western gateway of Shengle City, if Xingqing City falls, Shengle Capital is equivalent to opening a door for enemies from the Western Regions to plunder at any time.

He must go to the rescue of Xingqing at this time.

The 3,000 Shenji crossbow battalion led by Tian Yu rode war horses and quickly rushed to Xingqing City.

And on the edge of the national border of land dust.

A knight from Guo Huang was circling behind Lu Chen.

Lu Chen was waiting for Tian Yu's Divine Machine Crossbow Camp to come, but he didn't know that Tian Yu had already gone towards Xingqing City at this time.

A little time passes.

The knight is getting closer.

Lu Chen and the others didn't know at all.

The knights lurked behind, and at the sound of an order, a charge sounded from the front and rear armies.

When Lu Chen reacted.

The army behind had already rushed into the camp.

"Kill!"

Xu Huang shouted.

The Tiger Army rose up to resist.

Lu Chen also saw that the three thousand knights who appeared behind him were obviously different from the heavy cavalry knights in front, their armor was not only more refined, but also printed with a fire pattern, and the leader was a female knight holding a Western sword.

She didn't charge.

Rather, it seems to be looking for something.

Then.

Just looked at Lu Chen.

Saw.

She walked slowly to Lu Chen's side.

She muttered to herself, "That's you!" Be my slave! ”

Lu Chen saw the female knight on the opposite side coming over, and couldn't help but take a few steps back on the snow-stepping black horse, and secretly said in his heart: "Could it be that the other party is also a player?" ”

"Lord, be careful of each other! He's a master! ”。

Then.

Xu Huang's reminder came.
