Cheshi Country, the Han Empire Expeditionary Force is ready to go, leaving 100,000 Che Shiguo!

There are about 70,000 soldiers in the Western Regions and the reinforcements in Nanzhong, and the expeditionary force of the Han Empire forms a 400,000 expeditionary force, known as 800,000 troops, to support Luntai City!

In this expeditionary force, there are Chutian's Guards Legion, Le Yi's offensive legion, Lao Qin's Guanzhong Legion, and Xu Fengnian's Xiliang remnants.

The Western Regions Protectorate sent Huo Quzhi, Zhao Ponu, Li Siye, and Wang Xuance, with the eldest lady Huo Qing as the nominal chief general, and Huo Qubing as the deputy general, raising 40,000 troops.

The reinforcements in Nanzhong, with Mu Ke as the nominal chief general and Qin Liangyu as the deputy general, raised 30,000 troops and had 20 ironclad war elephants.

The Iron Wall Legion and the servant army of the Cheshi Country stayed behind in the Cheshi Country.

Huo Qing gave Cao Ren and full favor the power to kill any nobleman of the Cheshi Kingdom and act cheaply, so that the nobles of the Cheshi Country did not dare to act rashly.

400,000 people on an expedition, in addition to the war horses and camels brought by the princes of the Han Empire from the Guannei, Huo Qing and Wang Xuance scavenged all the pack horses and camels of the Cheshi Kingdom, all of which were used to transport grain, grass and arrows.

The size of the army of 400,000 was extremely large.

In fact, the distance from Cheshi Country to Luntai City is not too far, otherwise the number of pack horses and camels to be used is even more exaggerated.

Chu Tian and the others couldn't imagine how the Han Empire could rescue Luntai, which was attacked by Temujin, without the teleportation array of Cheshi Kingdom.

Just the supplies needed for a 10,000-mile expedition are not something that ordinary empires can afford.

Two-meter-tall camels carry bundles of arrows, forming a mighty dragon.

The 400,000 army consumed more than a million arrows, and the camels needed were tens of thousands.

Huo Quai's legion replaced new weapons and armor in Cheshi Country, and the materials hoarded by Huo An played a role, so that the remnants of the Western Regions Protectorate still had combat effectiveness.

As the general of the Western Regions Protectorate, Huo Qubing volunteered to lead the army of the Western Regions Protectorate to open the way for the expeditionary force of the Han Empire.

The Imperial Hussars, the Tubo Cavalry, the Tang Mo Sword Team, and the Servant Army of the Thirty-six Kingdoms, under the leadership of Huo Quai, took the lead in setting off.

Unlike ordinary people's imagination, when 400,000 troops march together, 400,000 troops cannot march together......

The larger the size of the legion, the more troops often need to be divided into marches. If there are multiple roads, they can be divided and marched together; If there is only one road, then it is necessary to divide the vanguard army, the middle army, and the rear army, and assemble in the designated city or plain in front.

From the Cheshi country to the Luntai country, which has to pass through the Gobi, rivers, foothills, and the edge of the desert, even if you want to divide the troops and advance together, there are not so many suitable roads, so you can only divide the expeditionary force into three armies, the front, the middle and the rear, and march along the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains.

Fortunately, there are many rivers and lakes at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, and the conditions are not particularly bad.

Many cities in the Western Regions are located next to rivers and lakes in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains.

"I led the Guanzhong Army, as a rear army, and the defense was not fast."

The scouts of the Han Empire discovered the Subutai Legion following behind, so Lao Qin took the initiative to take on the task of the rear army.

The cavalry of Subutai pursued Huo Qubing until Cheshiguo, trying to follow the expeditionary force of the Han Empire and launch a surprise attack at a critical moment.

The princes of the Han Empire were not good at stubble, and after deducing the intention of Su Butai, they took precautions.

As a result, the Western Regions Protectorate Corps was the vanguard, Chu Tian, Mu Ke, and Xu Fengnian were the Chinese army, and Lao Qin was the rear army, forming a military formation that stretched for hundreds of miles, which was spectacular.

The war eagle of the Iron Eagle Scout hovered in the air, and from high in the sky down, a mighty expeditionary force was marching along the southern foot of the towering Tianshan Mountains towards Luntai City, which was being besieged by the Mongol cavalry.

The battle flag of the Han Empire roared with the wind, the yellow sand flew, and the golden armor of a hundred battles was an unprecedented expedition!

This expedition was for the strategy of the Han Empire.

With the loss of the Western Regions, the territory of the Han Empire will shrink, and even the Western Regions and Central Asia will become the fog of war, threatening the Hexi Corridor and Guanlong.

The war eagle flew to the east, passing over the head of the Guanzhong legion of the old Qin, and then behind it, the cavalry of Subutai. Subutai's cavalry spread all over the mountains, and the number was more than 100,000.

The Mongol Empire migrated to the Western Regions with a population of 2 million, and Subutai selected warriors from them to form a cavalry force of more than 100,000 people to pursue Huo Quai.

More than 100,000 cavalry, driving cattle and sheep, breaking through villages and towns along the way, and obtaining supplies, did not have as much supply pressure as the Han Empire expeditionary force.

The cavalry of Subutai bypassed the cities of Cheshi and followed the expeditionary force of the Han Empire.

The war eagles of Tan Ma Chi also soared in the air, and the war eagles of the Iron Eagle scout looked at each other unpleasantly, and they actually fought in the air, and the black feathers were scattered.

Subutai caught a glimpse of two warhawks at war.

As special light cavalry, Tanma Chi and Iron Eagle Scouts have a special reconnaissance method of war eagles.

When he saw the war eagle of the Iron Eagle scout, Subutai knew that his cavalry had been detected by the Han Empire. But he didn't care.

With more than 100,000 cavalry, it is basically impossible to go undetected.

The Eagle Scout's war eagle seemed to have the upper hand, defeating Tan Ma Chi's war eagle, forcing Tan Ma Chi's war eagle to fall and seek refuge from its master.

Subutai's son, Uliang Hetai, took off the Mongolian bow behind him and tried to shoot the eagle.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the war eagles of the Iron Eagle Scout immediately left this place and caught up with the Han army.

The hovering war eagle swept down and landed on Mulan's arm, and Hua Mulan stroked the war eagle's wings.

This war eagle has been serving her for several years, and it is also the eagle king among the war eagles owned by the Iron Eagle Scout Cavalry.

"My lord, the cavalry of the speedy platform really bypassed the Cheshi country and followed us."

Hua Mulan obtained information about Subutai from War Eagle and immediately reported it to Chutian.

"The traces of Subutai have been discovered by us, even if he follows later, it is a matter of course, don't care, Lao Qin can stop him."

After Chu Tian learned of the movement of the Subutai Legion, he did not make a fuss.

The Subutai Legion had his intentions, but not so much that it would terrify the princes of the Han Empire.

The 150,000 Guanzhong army of Lao Qin, including the five schools of the Northern Army led by Zhu Jun, is not so easy to deal with.

In this expedition to Luntai, the generals and troops mobilized by the Han Empire can be said to be very luxurious, whether it is the front army, the middle army or the rear army, there are a number of famous generals and elite legions to press the formation.

However, this news was still released to Lao Qin, so that he could be extra careful and pay attention to the investigation. The weather in the Western Regions is changeable, and the temperature difference between day and night is extremely large, and if you are not careful, you may be defeated by Subutai. ”

Chu Tian ordered the Iron Eagle Scout to inform Lao Qin about the movements of the Subutai Legion.

The existence of the Subutai Army is the greatest threat to the old Qin as a rear army.

Joan of Arc held a holy flag and followed Chu Tian around.

Joan of Arc's motivation and fanatical ability have greatly improved Chutian's legions.

Originally, Chu Tian planned to arrange Joan of Arc in Cheshi Country, and even return to Xia Cheng to recuperate, but she insisted on participating in the expedition to Luntai, and Chu Tian obeyed.

But Joan of Arc's current state is not suitable for charging into battle, so Chutian can only take it with him, similar to Sun Bin's role, providing assistance for Chutian's army and strengthening Chutian's cavalry to the greatest extent.

Mu Ke's Nanzhong Army is also part of the Chinese Army.

Mu Ke was anxious about supporting Luntai City, but he couldn't come.

Twenty tall war elephants form an impregnable wall, with wooden towers on their backs, on which spearmen and archers are used to attack the enemy.

The Iron Armored War Elephant is a special ninth-order class, and if it is used well, it can have unexpected effects.

A group of vine armor soldiers, led by the vulture bones, marched on foot.

The vultures were so tall that there was no suitable horse.

Alternatively, the vulture can ride a war elephant and see it as a war horse......

Qin Liangyu was more calm, and she commanded her white pole soldiers, which were a kind of high-level mountain infantry.

There was a mountain legion under Chu Tian's command - Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Legion.

However, Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army was obviously inferior to Qin Liangyu's white pole soldiers.

Qin Liangyu's white pole soldiers can even fight hand-to-hand with the Eight Banners cavalry on the plain, which shows the strength of the white pole soldiers!

If Qin Liangyu is included in the Black Mountain Legion, then the Mountain Combat Ability of the Black Mountain Legion will be greatly enhanced.

The two lords, Huo An and Mu Ke, have one or two generals at the bottom of the box, and they are incorporated into their own forces, so Huo Qubing and Qin Liangyu are all their own......

In order to obtain famous generals, Chu Tian didn't even mind sealing Huo An and Mu Ke as assassins.

The soldiers annexed the Western Regions and the Southern Barbarians without blood, and the tens of millions of gold and silver saved, as well as the fierce generals and elite legions who took refuge, what is the position of the two assassins?

Now is not the best time to absorb Huo An and Mu Ke.

Huo An and Mu Ke joined forces, and their troops were also quite strong.

This is the terrible nature of political marriages, where one lord marries another lord and the power can be multiplied. If one lord is in trouble, another lord may come to the rescue.

Xu Fengnian's Guanzhong army has only a small number of remnants left, and he is still an army of his own.

In the rear of the Han Empire's expeditionary force, the 150,000 Guanzhong army of the old Qin stretched for hundreds of miles, the armor was neat, the vastness was mighty, and the neat phalanx raised sand and dust.

The 150,000 Guanzhong army used thousands of carriages. Lao Qin's Guanzhong economy can still withstand such consumption.

After the old Qin was broken off by Wang Qian's Qin Ruishi, he was always on guard against the Subutai army.

Lao Qin seemed to be unable to withstand the climate of the Western Regions, so he had to dress up as a local in the Western Regions to avoid the attack of wind and sand.

Wang Jian fought his sword and fell at the rear, but he did not complain at all, but patiently commanded Qin Ruishi's army to advance.

"Speed? If you have the opportunity, you should see if your Mongolian iron cavalry is sharp, or my Qin Ruishi is strong. ”

Wang Jian learned that the Han Empire expeditionary force was followed by the cavalry of Subutai, and the fighting spirit was high.

It is said that Subutai was one of the best generals under Temujin's account.

But he is also the highest commander under the command of Lao Qin.
