"When I set you up from a down-and-out nobleman to the new king of Wusun, I really didn't see the wrong person."

Huo An patted King Wusun on the shoulder hard.

After the attack on the Ögedai Khanate, King Wusun was captured by Ögedai and Yelu Dashi, but he did not betray Huo'an, but tried to report to Huo'an, and abandoned the darkness at the critical moment.

Almost the entire Wusun Kingdom, under the governance of King Wusun, are all people close to the Western Regions Protectorate, that is to say, several important figures in the Wusun Kingdom, all actors.

From the appearance of the Han army in the Ili River Valley, it was immediately supplemented by 40,000 cavalry of the Wusun State to supplement the scale of the expeditionary force, and it is known that after Huo An occupied the Wusun Kingdom, he promoted a large number of small nobles close to the Western Regions Protectorate to replace the previous big nobles.

King Wusun sighed with some emotion: "If it weren't for the fact that Lord Du Hu provided shelter when the old king chased and killed me, and also sent troops to help defeat the old king and set up the villain as the king, where would the villain be today." ”

"In the future, we will reminisce about the past, and it is imperative to capture Alimari and restore the country of Wusun, you are still the king of Wusun and enjoy some privileges."

Huo An gave King Wusun special treatment.

When the Western Regions Protectorate was betrayed by many small countries in the Western Regions, King Wusun, as an actor, was undoubtedly a clear spring, helping the expeditionary force to win, and with his contribution, he was enough to continue to serve as the king of Wusun Kingdom.

The kings of the remaining small countries in the Western Regions were abolished by Huo An under the pretext that a large number of nobles were implicated, with the exception of Wusun and Cheshi.

The grace of a drop of water will be reciprocated by a spring, and the betrayer is often not a pity to die.

"Chagatai, you are responsible for defending the city of Alimari, and when the reinforcements from Ogedai and Meng Ge arrive, join forces with me, and join forces inside and outside."

Temujin withdrew to Alimari and after urgently replenishing supplies, he planned to withdraw from Alimari and leave Chagatai to stabilize people's minds.

Without reinforcements, no matter how strong the city is, it cannot be defended.

Temujin's strategy was to put pressure on the Han army outside the city, while Chagatai, leading the main force of the Chagatai Khanate, held on to Alimari and delayed the main force of the Han army.

"Once the Khwarazm cavalry of Ögedai and the Persian cavalry of Möngke arrive, unite with my cavalry, and cooperate with your Alimari army, it will be enough to defeat the expeditionary force of the Han Empire."

"This expeditionary force has less than 200,000 people, and the cavalry of Wusun Country is only half of ours, so there is nothing to fear."

"Alimari must not be lost, otherwise the Han army has a teleportation array, and will immediately transfer a large number of legions from the Western Regions Protectorate and even Guannei."

In his hurry, Temujin analyzed a little to Chagatai.

His judgment was not erroneous either.

At present, the Han army has not occupied any large cities in the Ili River Valley, and as long as there is no teleportation array, the Han army will undoubtedly struggle with supplies, especially the inability to obtain reinforcements.

Because the Wusun Kingdom was a nomadic civilization, unlike the Western Regions Protectorate, which attached great importance to the expansion of cities, there were only two or three large cities in the Ili River Valley. Among them, Alimari is the most important city.

Only Chagatai who rules here has the ability to stabilize the hearts of Alimari and defend the royal city with 80,000 defenders.

Sweat ran down Chagatai's forehead - he had to defend the city alone.

Despite some reluctance, Chagatai chose to stay.

Temujin's strategy was not wrong, someone had to defend Alimari.

Not to mention that after Alimari was captured by the Han army, the Chagatai Khanate was wiped out, most of the tribes rebelled, and all cities surrendered to the Han army.

It's just that Alimari's teleportation array is controlled by the Han army, and tens of thousands of Han troops can be transported from the Western Regions Protectorate or Guannai to the Ili River Valley in one day.

In half a month, the size of the Han army can be doubled!

Chagatai could not imagine what would have happened to the entire Ili River Valley if Alimari had been captured by the Han army.

"Pledge your life to me to hold on to Alimari for three months."

Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Temujin asked his second son, Chagatai, to provide him with assurance.

This was a crisis not only for the Chagatai Khanate, but also for the Mongol Empire.

The four khanates, half of which were lost, were still two khanates that posed a threat to the protectorates of the Western Regions.

If the Ögedai Khanate and the Chagatai Khanate were destroyed, then the Western Regions Protectorate would have almost no enemies, and it would be possible to take the opportunity to recover its forces, sit back and watch the Ilkhanate, the Golden Horde, and other civilizations fight to the death, and then march into Central Asia and West Asia......

Judging from Huo An's intention to never give up the struggle for hegemony in Central Asia, this possibility is extremely high!

"The child is willing to guarantee with his own life that within three months, the Han army will not be able to capture Alimari. The ending of the city of Wokotai will not happen in the Khanate of the children! ”

Chagatai gritted his teeth.

Temujin nodded and personally commanded the cavalry out of the city.

All the cavalry was blocked in the city and could not play the role of cavalry at all.

Temujin knew this, so he divided his troops into two routes, so that the Han army could not concentrate the main force to attack the city.

The Han army needs to attack the city while sending reinforcements, and the difficulty increases.

Temujin personally led the cowardly army out of the city, just in time to meet Timur's cavalry returning.

His gaze lingered for a moment on the somewhat good-looking cavalry general.

"The last general almost killed King Wusun to avenge the Great Khan, but the Han army in the rear followed, so he returned in vain!"

Timur knew his chance to gain Temujin's appreciation.

Although Temujin has been defeated many times, he still rules the most vast land.

"Are you the ten thousand households under the Chaga Ledger?"

Temujin was surprised to hear that Timur dared to take the initiative to lead 10,000 cavalry to raid tens of thousands of Wusun cavalry and a small number of Han cavalry, and almost killed the king of Wusun.

If Chagatai had recommended such a general to him in advance, and Temujin had ordered him to command a reserve army, it would not have been so easy for the Han army to win the Second Battle of the Ili Valley.

"Chagatai is in charge of defending the city, you are good at using cavalry, and then follow Ben Khan."

Temujin also had the ability to discover talents, and Yelu Dashi and Wanyan Chen, a Khitan and a Jurchen, were appreciated by Temujin, and this became important figures in the Mongol Empire.

At this time, the Turkicized Mongol Timur was discovered, and Temujin directly asked him to go.

"The last general has the honor to follow the Great Khan, and he is willing to saddle the horse for the Great Khan, and swear allegiance to the death!"

Timur received Temujin's attention, his eyes lit up, and finally, he could continue to climb up!

"The cowardly general Bolhu is my confidant, because I died in battle, in the next big battle, if your performance is acceptable, then you will take Bolhu's position and become one of the four cowardly Xue."

Temujin's eyes darkened when he thought of the dead Bolhu.

At this time, the divine arrow Jebe was being pursued and killed by the Han army, and there was no news of Temujin, in case Jebe was killed, then Temujin's loss would be great.

Wanyan Chen, Monk Borhu, and a Jebe, even Temujin could not bear such a loss.

"The Han army is coming, leave this place!"

Temujin knew that the war was not over yet, and it was not the time to hesitate, and the Han army was marching towards Alimari, and it was possible to reach Alimari at any time.

Boom!!

The gates of Alimari are closed, and Chagatai is under martial law to defend the city!

The Han army pursued and approached Alimari.

When the Han army came to the city, the teleportation array of the city failed, and it was besieged by the Han army!

"This is King Wusun?"

Chu Tian looked at the King of Wusun introduced by Huo An, and the King of Wusun also knew that it was the princes of the Han Empire who were marching with Huo An, and they were also the great princes who supported the expansion of the Western Regions Capital behind their backs, so they were respectful.

In the future, if Wusun wanted to have a stable life, it would have to rely on the support of the Han Empire.

"It's an honor for the little ones to be able to serve the adults."

King Wusun is obviously a Wusun nobleman close to the Han Empire, so he is regarded as a confidant by Huo An and supported to the position of King Wusun.

"Did you send us the news that Temujin had sent the Khanate to attack Central Asia?"

Chu Tian probably knew that the scout that Huo An had placed in the Mongolian army was the King of Wusun in front of him.

"It's the villain."

"In the future, if you serve the Protectorate of the Western Regions, the glory and wealth of your life should not be a problem."

At this time, Chu Tian could already use his lofty identity to make a promise to a king of the Western Regions.

The king of the Western Regions, the real real power may not be as great as him, the great general of the Han Empire, and the first prince.

With Chutian's power and population, it is dozens of times that of Wusun Kingdom, and King Wusun is Huo An's subordinate, so Chutian doesn't have to be too polite to him.

Sure enough, King Wusun replied very humbly: "This is what a villain should do, and Lord Du Hu once had a favor for a villain." ”

Chu Tian, Lao Qin and the others were extremely satisfied with the attitude of King Wusun, in their opinion, this is the attitude that a vassal king should have.

Chu Tian looked at the majestic city of Alimari, the largest city in the Ili River Valley, which was the royal city of the Chagatai Khanate.

If you can capture the royal city of the Chagatai Khanate, you can not only remove the Chagatai Khanate, but also get rewards and extra points.

Regardless of the purpose, Chu Tian and the others must take this city as soon as possible, open up the teleportation array with the Luntai Kingdom, the Yanqi Kingdom, the Qiuzi Kingdom, the Cheshi Kingdom, and the Guannai Kingdom, and send more troops to pacify the Chagatai Khanate and turn the Chagatai Khanate back into the Wusun Kingdom.

In fact, the Chagatai Khanate currently controls a larger territory than the original territory of the Usun State.

The expeditionary force of the Han Empire did not hesitate to travel thousands of miles and cross the Tianshan Mountains, so naturally they would not care about the cost of the teleportation array, and then send the second batch of expeditionary forces to the Chagatai Khanate, which could basically occupy the entire Ili River Valley, expel the power of the Mongol army, and connect with the Seljuk Empire.

The Seljuk Empire is currently an ally, and the Protectorate of the Western Regions can share the pressure with the Seljuk Empire.

After the capture of Alimali, the next thing will be handed over to Huo An and Xu Fengnian, and the western border of the Han Empire will no longer need to ask for reinforcements from Guannei.

Temujin's forces were reduced by at least one-third, and the expedition to Mobei was less difficult.

"Making trebuchets, siege towers, ladder trucks, ......"

Chutian used the siege method of the Mongol army, and used the way of others to govern them.

The Mongol army forced craftsmen to make a large number of siege equipment, and used powerful ninth-order siege equipment, which caused many fierce generals to sink into the sand.

Although Chu Tian does not have a Xiangyang cannon yet, he can make ordinary large trebuchets, and with Liu Ye's 23% bonus to trebuchets, trebuchets can also burst out with powerful destructive power.

"It is also necessary to divide an army to guard against Temujin stationed outside the city, and Temujin intends to cooperate with the outside world."

"I'm here to force the servants."

Chu Tian used the "Heavenly Khan" characteristic to forcibly recruit some of the captured servant army!

"Heavenly Khan" cannot surrender all the prisoners on the premise that the opponent's monarch and lord will survive, but he can surrender some.

There were hundreds of cowardly Xue army cavalry captured by Chu Tian, and Chu Tian's "Heavenly Khan" characteristic recruited about 250 cowardly Xue army.

The proportion of the cowardly Xue army was lower than that of ordinary Mongol cavalry, after all, the cowardly Xue army was not low in loyalty to Temujin.

"The ninth-order cavalry has just arrived with more than two hundred cavalry......"

Chu Tian saw more than two hundred cowardly Xue army cavalry, and the ninth-order cavalry was just there?

Temujin had a special cowardly Xue army commander, but Chutian did not, but Chutian believed that this cowardly Xue army was built for him.

"Heavenly Khan" trait, minions have an additional +10% ATK.

Temujin possessed the trait "Blue Wolf White Deer", and Chutian also had ......

Why can't you command the cowardly Xue army?

In addition to the cowardly Xue army, there were tens of thousands of captured Mongolian cavalry, most of whom were surrendered by Chutian.

However, Chu Tian was hesitating whether he could use the cowardly Xue army that had surrendered to deal with Temujin.

Although the "Heavenly Khan" trait can strengthen the control of the servant army, the cowardly Xue army is Temujin's guard after all, and there is a possibility of betrayal.

Just as Temujin had the ability to control the servant army, the Wusun King was too loyal to Hoan, and even after surrendering, he was not completely controlled by Temujin.

At this point, Chu Tian had to be on guard.

However, if the Cowardly Xue Army was used against other forces, or, after the Mongol Empire was completely defeated, this group of captured Cowardly Xue troops might become Chutian's guards.

Captive servant armies are equivalent to consumables and cannot be recruited.

Unless the Cowardly Xue Army is turned into an exclusive class, it can be recruited after death.

It's just that turning the ninth-order cowardly army into an exclusive class is not easy to say, and it may require special mechanisms or force Temujin to submit.

Temujin was different from Cao Cao, who had not yet developed.

Cao Cao did not develop, at most he was an assassin ambition, but Temujin was already the Great Khan of the Mongols, and at his peak, he ruled the Mobei Empire and the four khanates, and it was almost unrealistic to want him to submit.

Under the urging of Chu Tian and others, the Han army began to manufacture siege equipment, and some craftsmen and special talents and players of the Mojia school who had mastered the "organ technique" took action, and one after another trebuchets and siege towers rose from the ground.

Li Jie, a civil engineer in the Northern Song Dynasty, used his abilities to build camps and fortifications for the Han army with a group of craftsmen.

His special ability is to speed up the construction of buildings, as well as increase the durability of buildings, which are equivalent to the buildings he supervises, and are stronger.

If it's just one or two civil buildings, the value of durability is not very great, after all, it can be repaired. However, if it is a fortification such as a camp or an arrow tower, then the durability value is very important.
