Chapter 115: Dawan Kingdom, the smoke rises
On the border of Dayuan, the Western Regions Protectorate established many beacon towers, each beacon tower ranged from several to dozens of Han army guarding. Once an enemy cavalry invades, the beacon fire will be ignited immediately to remind the city behind.
"Master Dadu has not known where he went. It has been a long time since I saw Master Dadu."
"We little soldiers like us want to see the Great Protector?"
"That's not necessarily the case. When I was fighting with the Mongols before, I also saw Lord Great Protector with my own eyes."
"The Mongols have not fought with our Western Regions Protectorate for a long time. Dayuan Kingdom has not been conquered for at least five years."
More than a dozen Han troops stationed one of the beacon towers, and they have already relaxed.
The Western Regions Protectorate conquered Dayuan for several years and regarded Dayuan as its territory.
Suddenly, the cowhide wine bags in the hands of the Han army scout standing on the second-level wooden arrow tower fell, and the wine spilled all over the ground.
The Han army scout widened his eyes and showed an incredible expression: "Enemy cavalry!"
"Hurry, light the beacon!"
The rest of the Han soldiers who were chatting immediately picked up their weapons, and the Han soldiers lit the wolf smoke from the beacon tower!
At the end of the horizon, a slender black line appeared.
Khitan military general Yelu Dashi Jinshao Dama led a group of Turkic cavalry to attack Dayuan, attempting to break through the Dayuan national defense line and reconquer the Western Regions Protectorate!
This is the second time that Ogedei and Yelu Dashi tried to conquer the Western Regions Protectorate!
Last time, the combination of Ogedei and Yelu Dashi and Temujin launched a large-scale attack on the Western Regions and were repelled by the expeditionary forces of the Han Empire's princes.
This time, Ogetai, who was sleeping in firewood and tasting gall, accumulated enough population and troops and sent Yelu Dashi to provoke the Western Regions Protectorate.
"The Dayuan Kingdom was captured, and the population of Dayuan Kingdom was all slaves of you."
Yelu Dashi drew out his sabre and drowned this beacon tower with 50,000 Turkic cavalry. After igniting the wolf smoke, the Han soldiers stationed at the beacon tower fled in panic.
"Sir, look, there are wolf smoke in the southwest!"
"Light up the beacon, send cavalry to inform Lord Huo Qubing!"
The Han army stationed at nearby beacon towers immediately ignited the wolf smoke and scouted the cavalry to various camps!
For a moment, the wars of Dayuan Kingdom rose everywhere!
"General, a large number of cavalry appeared in the southwest!"
"Follow me to meet the enemy!"
In addition to scattering 30,000 troops and horses in various parts of the border, Huo Qubing also had 50,000 cavalry. When he learned that Yelu Dashi led the Turkic cavalry to attack the Dayuan Kingdom controlled by the Western Regions Protectorate, he immediately fought.
"The Turkic cavalry came to attack, and the city gates were closed and they were not allowed to leave the city!"
Ban Chao, who was in charge of the internal affairs of Dayuan, was sweating profusely.
He had already smelled the aura of Ogedei's forces invading the Western Regions Protectorate. As a famous general with both civil and military affairs, he naturally had a very keen sense of smell. The thing he was most worried about was that it would happen.
Ogedei and Yelu Dashi accumulated strength and chose the opportunity to send troops when the Chutian forces attacked Shu in an all-round way. At this time, Huo'an, the Western Regions Protectorate, was not even in the Western Regions Protectorate.
"Yelu Dashi chose the opportunity. If he couldn't handle it well, he lost the Dayuan Kingdom. With the current Ogedei and Yelu Dashi's troops, it would be even more difficult to cross the Pamir Mountains again in the future... Even if he could not defend Dayuan Kingdom, he would have to delay time as much as possible... People gathered 70,000 troops in Guishan City, and asked Chen Tang and several generals to come and help me!"
Ban Chao thought it was necessary to send troops in person.
The king of Dayuan Kingdom, Meicai, who was supported by Huo'an, and a group of Dayuan nobles were panicked. Guishan City had been sealed by the Han army and no one was allowed to enter and exit. The war was about to break out.
Rumors spread everywhere in Guishan City, and rumors that the second Mongol Empire Khan Ogedei recruited millions of troops to attack the Dayuan Kingdom.
When Mei Cai thought of the terrifying Mongolian cavalry, he had to ask Ban Chao who was preparing for the war on behalf of the interests of the nobles of Dayuan: "Ban Chao, it is said that the Mongolian Khan personally conquered Dayuan, with millions of cavalry. Our Dayuan has less than two million people, and the number of young and strong soldiers is not as large as that of Ogedei... Moreover, many of them may massacre the city..."
"Micai, don't panic. This is just a test of Ogedei. He occupied so many territories, and the five nobles of Silicon Frost, were dissatisfied with Ogedei, and Ogedei's main force did not dare to leave the Indian Peninsula easily."
Ban Chao had an amazing understanding of the situation. When Yelu Dashi spread rumors that the nobles of Dayuan put pressure on King Meicai to withdraw troops from Dayuan to ensure the safety of Dayuan, Ban Chao judged that this was not the main force of Ogedei.
Ban Chao continued: "Micai, you are the king who is supported by the Great Protector. If our Han army retreats from Dayuan, those nobles who are ready to move may kill you to flatter the Turks. At that time, the Turks will establish a new general."
The Mai Cai Khan fell like rain.
Ban Chao said it was right. Without Huo An's support, he would not have ascended the throne of Dayuan. His power came from the Han army stationed in Guishan City.
Once Ban Chao left, most of the nobles of Dayuan Kingdom would set up another new king.
"Don't worry, if Yelu Dashi wants to take over Dayuan, he still has to pass this level. As a general who guards the border, he must be loyal and dedicated."
The personal soldiers replaced Ban Chao with iron armor, and Ban Chao personally sent troops to support Huo Qubing.
Huo Qubing had only one person, and the Turkic cavalry that attacked Dayuan might not be just Yelu Dashi's troops.
Although Yelu Dashi was a Khitan, he had only a few Khitan cavalry and the only large Khitan tribe was arranged by Chu Tian to breed war horses for the empire on the grasslands in the southern desert.
Yelu Dashi's cavalry was his Central Asian Turkic cavalry.
A second-level town was captured by Yelu Dashi's cavalry, and the Turkic cavalry wanted to plunder the city.
Yelu Dashi had no intention of stopping him.
In "Lord", in addition to its characteristics, it can quickly restore morale, and it can also restore morale by looting soldiers.
The negative effect of looting soldiers is to lead to a city's security, people's sentiment decline, various buildings are destroyed, and even the level will decrease. For example, a level five blacksmith shop may drop to a level four blacksmith shop.
Generally speaking, if you want to take a piece of land for yourself, the generals leading troops will not easily indulge the army to plunder, otherwise a prosperous city may become ruins.
Ordering a massacre can even completely destroy a city.
However, Yelu Dashi is now fighting in the sphere of influence of the Western Regions Protectorate, so he will not show mercy.
Yelu Dashi watched the entire second-level town fall into a sea of fire, and remained indifferent.
Those who want to achieve great things will pay some price that can be afforded.
A Turkic general took the initiative to lead his troops to loot.
Yelu Dashi said to the Turkic general: "Jie Li, you lead the cavalry in your headquarters and be on guard all around you."
"Receive the order."
The Turkic generals took away thousands of elite Turkic cavalry. The group of Turkic cavalry was a little dissatisfied. They had not yet plundered enough property.
Yelu Dashi is extremely cautious.
The Western Regions Protectorate has 400,000 soldiers and horses, and the quality of military generals is not low. Huo Qubing and Ban Chao are in charge of Dayuan, and both of them are old enemies.
Yelu Dashi thought he was not as good as Huo Qubing, but he adopted the strategy of dividing troops.
Dayuan Kingdom, a small city with a population of tens of thousands, was captured by another Turkic cavalry!
Shibi Khan of the Turkic civilization led Turkic cavalry into the city to clean up the plunder.
The firelight was reflected in Shibi Khan's eyes, and there was no mercy. This was the war in the era of cold weapons, and there was no order.
In addition to Yelu Dashi, Shibi Khan, Jin Horde Khadu and his brother Beerge led a team of Mongolian cavalry and Indian Kshatriya warriors to attack Guishan City in Dayuan.
The Grassland Empire suddenly launched a large-scale attack on Dayuan Kingdom. For a moment, the Wusun Kingdom, Cheshi Kingdom and Kucha Kingdom in the Western Regions were all alarmed.
In the Wusun Kingdom, the King of Wusun, who followed Huoan to fight, was already a little old and had white hair.
"What happened to the territory of the Great Protectorate, how can we, Wusun Kingdom, stand by and watch? Everyone in Wusun Kingdom, follow me to Dayuan Kingdom!"
King Wusun was also a vassal who supported Huo'an to power, and was a fanatical supporter of Huo'an. With the order, 100,000 cavalrymen of Wusun Kingdom were successively teleported to Dayuan Kingdom.
"The Wusun people also intervened in the war!"
