Chapter 406: Hunting Together

The Han army stayed in the main city for a month, and moved six million people from the rear to the main city to strengthen the city defenses. The surrounding civilizations saw that there was no chance to take advantage of it, so they had to recuperate and wait for the opportunity to move.

The Han army replenished 400,000 soldiers and horses, most of which were low-level troops, bringing the strength to 700,000, and the strength continued to increase.

Cao Ren, Man Chong and others, who were guarding the rear, arrived. Chutian has four cities in the rear, two of which are the cities of the Goryeo Kingdom and one is the city of the Songhai Empire, which has supplemented Chutian with 40,000 low-level troops, plus the remaining troops of Chutian in the main city battle, at present, Chutian alone has 70,000 main forces and 20,000 servant troops, a total of 90,000 soldiers and horses.

After recovering his strength, Chutian began to sweep the Mughal Empire and plunder the resources of the Mughal Empire.

The main city is the most important resource for national warfare, followed by population, food, and weapons.

The Mughal Empire was invaded several times by Cossack cavalry within a month, losing ten cities and three million people.

The princes of the Mughal Empire were overwhelmed and concentrated all the population in three cities and strengthened their defenses, which was the only way to curb the loss of population.

When Chutian migrated the Mughal Empire, he sent cavalry to defeat the escorted Mughal army, intercepting about 400,000 people, a large amount of grain, grass and weapons, which made the princes of the Mughal Empire feel a pain in their flesh.

Although the population of the Mughal Empire was large, the number of princes was even larger, and now the population of each prince was only 200,000, and the population of each prince in the Han Empire was more than 300,000.

Chutian has a population of about 1.5 million. If it weren't for the lack of weapons and food, Chu Tian could recruit more soldiers.

"The Han army and the Cossack cavalry are here again!"

The soldiers of the Mughal Empire rushed to the city in a panic, and the arrow towers were lined up.

Outside the city, black cavalry appeared, and Chu Tian led 90,000 Han troops to sweep up.

He looked at the dense arrow towers in the city, and did not have the desire to attack.

"The Mughal Empire concentrated all its population and strength in three cities, each with a population of more than 2 million and 200,000 defenders, which were easy to defend and difficult to attack. The capture of this city resulted in at least more than 100,000 soldiers killed and wounded, and countless weapons were lost, and the gains outweighed the losses. Unless they are lured out and they are fought in the wilderness. ”

Chu Tian sighed with admiration.

The Han army simply flaunted its might beneath the cities of the Mughal Empire and then withdrew.

The Mughal Empire was frightened, lost countless high-level troops, and did not dare to go out of the city to pursue.

During this time, the Grand Duchy of Moscow leveled the city and plundered the population. Perhaps for Catherine, the population was no less important than the main city's vital resource.

"The Mongols are attacking the main city in the north."

Chu Tian returned to the main city of the Han army, and Lao Qin summoned all the Han princes to discuss how to move next.

The Han army seized the main city in the west, and then it could only seize food.

The civilizations of the northern battlefield were feared by the Mongols, and some of the civilizations marched to the main city in the west, and they were in a dilemma when they learned that the main city in the west was occupied by the strong Han army.

The Han army captured several prisoners alive and received information of interest from them.

"The population of Mongolia should not be large, and even if they have Genghis Khan, it will be difficult to capture the main city garrisoned by 100,000 elite NPC city defense troops."

In Chutian's impression, the core population of the Mongol Empire was not much.

Mingguan said: "Maybe Genghis Khan has the ability to drive the servant army, after all, the Mongols went on an expedition, and the vast majority of the troops were servant troops, not Mongol cavalry. At the beginning, the Mongols destroyed the Jin and recruited how many Han people, which destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty. ”

Everyone listened to Mingguan's analysis and nodded their heads.

The nomadic and fishing and hunting civilizations can take over the world, and the population of their tribe may only be a few hundred thousand, but it is with hundreds of thousands of people that they continue to defeat the surrounding civilizations, recruit servant armies, and then establish a large empire with a population of millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions.

The Liao, Jin, Mongol Empire, and Qing Dynasty were all like this.

Genghis Khan's ability to recruit servant armies may still be above the "Heavenly Khan".

"Shall we go north, or east, or south?"

A choice was placed in front of the princes of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

"The north is dominated by the Mongol Empire, and I don't think it is possible to fight the Mongol Empire for the time being. Otherwise, it will be a lose-lose situation. ”

"Agreed."

The princes of the Han Empire were somewhat in awe of the Mongol Empire, which once occupied most of Asia.

It was not that the Han Empire could not defeat the Mongol Empire, but it was easy to lose both, and the Mongol Empire may have obtained a number of servant troops.

Expansion in the north was hampered, and the Han army targeted the main city in the east, or the main city in the south.

For the main city in the east and the main city in the south, the Han army knew very little.

"Send scouts to probe the civilizations that occupy the main cities in the east and the main cities in the south. In the event of an expedition, leave at least 400,000 troops to defend the main city. ”

"In less than a month, the first batch of high-level troops recruited will be able to come out. You can also recruit a group of low-tier troops. ”

"Before the crusade, we must destroy the great armies of the Mughal Empire again, or they will covet this main city."

"Find a way to lure the Mughal forces out of the city, and then try to annihilate them."

The princes of the Eastern Han Dynasty planned to inflict another heavy blow on the Mughal Empire.

Once the Mughal Empire was given two months, they would also be replenished with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses.

According to the assumptions of the princes of the Han Empire, after the first batch of high-level troops was recruited, they had the capital to compete for the second main city.

Since there is hope of winning the two cities, the lords of the Han Empire will definitely have to gamble.

Two months have passed since the national war, and there are still four months to go, and if you don't take a risk, you will be somewhat unwilling.

"Is there any interest in ambushing the Ottoman Empire? My cavalry has spotted their tracks. ”

Catherine received a report from her subordinates and invited Chutian to go hunting.

"You're trying to wipe out the Ottoman Empire."

"Their sultan was killed by your Han Empire, and you have become mortal enemies with them, if you don't destroy them as soon as possible, maybe you will be quite uncomfortable next."

"It just so happens that I'm short of a servant army."

Chu Tian immediately made a decision, and with the help of the power of the Cossack cavalry, he went to capture a group of servant troops alive.

The Servant Army is very practical and cannot be replenished at the moment, so it can only be captured alive.

So Chutian's 90,000 Han troops went out of the city.

In order to prevent Catherine's Moscow army from suddenly attacking him, Chutian brought Huo An and Mu Ke to make his army reach more than 100,000.

Even if Catherine wants to eat this Han army, with Wei Qing and Huo Quai, it is estimated that it will be enough.

Ekaterina was suddenly a little dissatisfied, originally the two big lords joined forces to hunt the Ottoman Empire, but Chutian suddenly brought Huo An and Mu Ke, wouldn't this become a hunt of four people?

"This Polish hussar should be a special unit of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, how can they serve you? Could it be the cavalry captured during the war with Poland? ”

Chu Tian was fighting the idea of a cavalry under Catherina's command.

He theorized that Catherine had taken advantage of the characteristics of the Emperor similar to the "Heavenly Khan" to gain the effectiveness of the Polish hussars, or that she had subdued a number of famous Polish generals.

"Hmph."

Catherine ignored Chu Tian, she was in a bad mood.

"We seem to be getting in the way......"

Huo An heard that Chutian was going to hunt the remnants of the Ottoman Empire, so he took Huo Quzhi, Chen Tang, Gao Xianzhi, Li Siye and other generals and 30,000 soldiers to participate in the hunt.

But when he found out that Catherine was dissatisfied with him, he muttered to Mu Ke, the lord from the Southern Barbarians.

Mu Ke nodded seriously, and she also found that something was wrong.

The Western Regions Protectorate sent 30,000 people, the Nanban sent 20,000 people, and Chutian's 90,000 people, gathering into an army of 140,000 people.

After the death of Suleiman I of the Ottoman Empire, the Ottoman army withdrew to its own city.

The present Ottoman Empire was at war with the Inca Empire, which had fled from the north.

The priests of the Inca Empire chanted incantations, and the warriors of the tribe armed with spears charged the Ottoman army!

Tribal warriors with priestly bonuses are like wild beasts, flying like a beast!

The Ottomans rarely fought with such a strange class of troops, but the elite Janissaries were still in dense formation, and tens of thousands of arrows rained down the tribal warriors.

The tribal archers returned fire, while the tribal warriors frantically charged the Ottoman phalanx, throwing spears in their hands that pierced through the shields of the Janissaries legions and penetrated the light infantry in the rear!

After receiving the bonus, the individual combat power of the tribal warrior is not the same as that of ordinary people, and is more like a beast. Tribal warriors slash into the chaotic Janissaries with short swords, blades coated with poison and blood to seal their throats!

The Inca Empire also had regular legions of Inhumans to oversee the war in the rear, sending indigenous warriors from the tribe to serve as cannon fodder. Inhumans developed iron ore in the Inca Empire, coupled with the fact that the Inca Empire had a level 10 silver mine, purchased a batch of war horses and equipment from Europe, and had the blessing of tribal priests, in fact, the Inca Empire had a lot of potential.

However, the Inca Empire encountered the terrifying Mongol Empire in the northern battlefield, and Genghis Khan's ability to enslave other civilizations led to the collapse of the Inca Empire, and the priests of the tribes were not able to handle it in front of the Mongol iron horsemen.

The Inca Empire fled to the west, believing that it should capture more cities in order to compete with the Mongol Empire.

Weak civilizations are not completely out of the box if they want to compete with the big civilizations for the main city. They can annex smaller civilizations around them, plunder the population of their cities, and then recruit soldiers to snowball and gain an advantage.

If a civilization can plunder millions of people on the battlefields of national wars, it can become a giant.

The Mongol Empire began with an estimated cavalry of only a few tens of thousands, and under the leadership of Temujin, it quickly accumulated to become the northern overlord with hundreds of thousands of servants.

At present, the northern hegemon is the Mongol Empire, the western hegemon is the Han Empire, and the eastern and southern hegemons are unclear.

In addition to these overlords, mid-level civilizations are trying to swallow each other's populations in order to become the new overlords.

Two hundred Turkish arquebusiers lined up in formation and fired at the natives of the Inca Empire under the protection of the Janissary Legion. The smoke of gunpowder fills the air, and the flesh and blood of the natives hit by lead bullets are blurred!

The power of the Turkish arquebus is huge, but the arquebus at this time can only be loaded 1-2 times a minute, and in the face of the intensive offensive of the natives, most of it depends on the hand-to-hand combat ability of the Janissaries legion.

"It doesn't matter if our Ottoman Empire was defeated by a civilization as large as the Han Empire, a small Inca Empire is nothing! Kapikuru cavalry, give me a shock to this group of natives! ”

The nobles of the Ottoman Turkish Empire, who had just died their sultans and were attacked by the Inca Empire, which had fled to the western battlefields, were furious.

Although they can't compare to the Han Empire, it's not just an American civilization that can be bullied!

The Capikuru cavalry, armed with spears, axes and other long-handled weapons, crushed the Inca Empire!

The Ottomans, who had lost to the Han Empire, were enraged, the Kapikuru cavalry rammed, and the unprotected tribesmen were knocked into the air, trampled down with their iron hooves raised high!

"Heavy Infantry Legion!"

The Inhuman soldiers of the Inca Empire formed a heavy infantry legion to intercept the Capikuru cavalry, thousands of sharp spears pointed diagonally forward!

The priest commands the hunters of the Inca Empire to shoot poisoned arrows!

The iron armor of the Kapikuru cavalry helped them block most of the poisoned arrows, and they slammed into the heavy infantry phalanx of Inhuman soldiers, slaughtering the Inhuman heavy infantry!

In order to annex each other, a great war broke out between the two civilizations, and on the edge of the battlefield, the Han army and the Muscovite army arrived.

After Catherine smelled the smell of gunsmoke, she seemed to be a different person, and her momentum was fierce: "Our troops outflank the left side, and your troops outflank the right side." ”

It is worthy of a fighting nation......

Chu Tian saw that Catherine was finally normal, so he nodded.

This time, the two legions are flanking the two civilizations that are fighting, in order to capture a group of servants!

Genghis Khan captured a large number of high-ranking troops in the northern battlefield, and this was not the case with Chutian and Catherine.

The two legions moved quickly.

The Ottoman and Inca empires, which were at war, felt the breath of danger.

"Ask for a truce!"

A feeling of unease crept up into the hearts of the generals who commanded the Ottoman army, and immediately sent cavalry to demand a truce from the Inca Empire.

The Inhuman lords and priests of the Inca Empire looked around and saw dust billowing around them.

Yellow sand is pervasive, and sandstorms are set off on the Gobi.

"It turned out to be just a sandstorm......

Both the Ottoman and Inca empires breathed a sigh of relief.

A sandstorm will interrupt the battle between two armies, but it is better than being surrounded by enemies.

Sandstorms swept in from the south to the north, and the two empires temporarily halted.

Yellow sand fills the air, obscuring the view.

"Phew, our Inca Empire is really unlucky, first encountered the Mongol Empire, and then encountered the Ottoman Empire, is there no civilization weaker than our Inca Empire, let us bully it?"

The lords of the Inca Empire shouted bad luck.

The Inca Empire has a ten-level silver mine, which can be regarded as a rich civilization, buying a batch of equipment blueprints from Europe, as well as tribal troops, and the legion is not weak, but it has encountered two tricky big empires.

"What's that?"

The lords of the Inca Empire found countless black shadows in the yellow sand.

"War horses! This is cavalry! ”

"Prepare for war!"

The lords of the Inca Empire finally realized that a cavalry had launched an attack on them after the sandstorm had passed!
