Chapter 1173: Li Mu and Lian Po join forces
"Your Majesty, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing have already fought with Subutai. Aarslan, a Sailju, stationed troops on the periphery of the battlefield. Should they send troops to guard against Aarslan?"
"No need to pay attention to Arslan. He wants to restore the Selejuk Empire and will not help Ogedei."
Chu Tian was not worried about Arslan's tens of thousands of Selephants, and he devoted all his energy to dealing with Ogedei.
In the Khwarezm Kingdom, Li Mu's Mo Nan army and Lunqinling's Tubo army joined forces to attack the territory of Khwarezm to share the opponent's troops for Chu Tian.
Samarkand was the royal city of the Khwarezmian Kingdom. Timur, who ruled India, was ordered to gather here and prepare to attack along the Tianshan Mountains and cut off Chutian's retreat.
The forces of the Golden Family gathered in several large cities at the same time.
The Indian army was mainly low-level cannon fodder, gathering millions of troops in Samarkand, and Timur personally commanded the millions of Indian troops.
"All the troops and horses rescued the siege of Edala City, and all the troops and horses attacked Dayuan Kingdom, destroying the Xia army that attacked Dayuan Kingdom."
Timur was in charge of a million troops and couldn't help but have ambitions at this time.
As long as his troops can have miraculous effects, they may be able to destroy all the Xia army entering the Hezhong area!
The Indian lord Brahmin joined forces with Timur.
Whether in order to revive ancient India or deal with China, Brahmins believed that it was necessary to participate in this war.
Timur commanded the cavalry, while the Brahmin and his most powerful general, Shivaji, commanded the Indian Elephant Corps. A million troops began to head north and encountered the desert south army and the Tubo army in northern Samarkand.
Zhao Kuo led a small team of cavalry to investigate in front, climbed to a nearby hill, and secretly peeked at the boundless Indian army moving north.
Ten thousand people passed by one by one, and the war elephants in iron armor made the ground tremble, and the number of cavalry behind them was also endless.
Dozens of Indian princes went to war, and hundreds of thousands of cannon fodder soldiers who changed their posts from lower castes.
“The terrible number of infantry and cavalry.”
Zhao Kuo was a little shocked when he witnessed the march of a million Indian troops.
Indian civilization is the only civilization whose population is comparable to that of the Central Plains. This expedition is also an army of millions.
A border cavalry of Zhao State said to Zhao Kuo: "General, their infantry is in front, elephant soldiers are in the middle, and cavalry is in the back. This seems to be a common tactic for the Indians."
"They have always been like this. As long as the battle elephant shakes the enemy's army, the cavalry can break the enemy's army."
Zhao Kuo has been fighting for more than ten years and is well-informed. He is not the young man he was the first to be.
He also discovered that Timur's army was divided into three parts, with infantry at the front, basically low-level infantry as cannon fodder, the most famous Indian war elephant army in the middle, and hundreds of thousands of Indian cavalry behind.
Indian infantry has never had much reputation, and is positioned as cannon fodder, while cavalry is the main force.
Timur sat on the war horse and suddenly looked at the hill where Zhao Kuo was. He seemed to have a premonition and said to the two generals around him: "You lead the troops to search for that mountain range, maybe there will be ambush."
The two ancient Indian generals looked at each other and were a little afraid of the new master: "Yes!"
The hill where Zhao Kuo, who was facing thousands of light cavalry, swept quickly.
"Get back quickly!"
When Zhao Kuo saw the Indian light cavalry driving forward, he knew that his position had been discovered.
He was a little surprised inside, and Timur's intuition was precisely frightening.
More than a dozen Zhao Bian cavalry retreated to the north under the leadership of Zhao Kuo.
"Khan, there were indeed more than a dozen scout cavalry exploring nearby mountains!"
"It seems that a large army is nearby, then, destroy it."
Not only was Timur not nervous, he wanted to establish his authority in front of the Indian army and better rule the Indian Peninsula.
The military orders were passed through hundreds of cavalry and reached the ears of ten thousand households. Millions of Indian troops were hastily dispatched, and the marching speed slowed down.
Zhao Kuo returned, galloped for a day and night, and met with Li Mu, Lian Po, and Zhao She: "The enemy army under the banner of Timur, with countless soldiers and horses, and it is difficult to count them."
Li Mu summoned the Tubo army's Taxi, Lun Qinling, and joined forces with 300,000 troops.
"We were originally scheduled to conquer Samarkand, but now the situation has changed. Timur gathered heavy troops in Samarkand and attempted to move to the Tianshan Mountains. This will not only cut off His Majesty's retreat, but also support the Dayuan Kingdom in the east. It is indeed not an ordinary person."
When Li Mu heard Zhao Kuo's reply, he guessed Timur's strategic intention without looking at the map.
The entire Hezhong area has become a battlefield, with both sides' offense, defense, and a big break.
Timur's purpose was to cut off the retreat of the three million Xia troops.
Once Timur blocks the retreat, if the three million Xia army does not occupy the teleportation array in the Hezhong area, it may be wiped out.
"Turn offense into defense, and counterattack."
Lian Po once again used the persistence tactic.
Li Mu and Lian Po are both good at defense and then attack.
Lian Po ordered the soldiers to build temporary defense lines on key roads. He had the SS-level characteristics of "strict barriers". When building a base in the field to defend, the legion's defense is +30%, the fortifications are durable +20%, and the fortifications are +10% damage to the enemy. At this time, it can just work.
Li Mu is also a defensive general. He has the SS-level characteristic of "defensive counterattack". When he is on the defensive, the legion's defense power will be +15%. When he turns to the offensive, the legion's defense bonus will disappear, and the legion's attack power will be +15%.
In addition, Li Mu's defense aura of the whole army is "Wu'an Jun" (the defense of all his own legions on the battlefield is +12%, and the morale decline rate is -13%. A unit only applies to three full army auras at most. Li Mu's army's defense is +18%), which also strengthens the defense of himself and Lian Po Legion.
With the cooperation of the two, Lian Po's legion's defense increased by 42%, and Li Mu's defense increased by 45%, which is equivalent to strengthening almost half of it. This is an exaggerated value.
When the Zhao State's twins are on the defensive position, they can rely on their high legion defense to consume the physical strength and morale of the attacking party. When the enemy's physical strength and morale decline, they will then look for opportunities to counterattack.
Li Mu and Lian Po would adopt such a safe tactic when facing a strong enemy, especially when facing a strong Qin Dynasty, if they take the initiative to rush forward regardless of everything, they will easily fail.
This time, the Monan Army had 200,000, Li Mu and Lian Po each commanded 100,000 to block Timur.
The one who cooperated with Li Mu and Lian Po was the player lord of the Tubo army, Tsashi.
Because Tsaxi saw the birth of the Central Plains overlord, he directly led the Tubo Protectorate to rely on it, so he was still appointed as the Tubo Protectorate and was granted a marquis' status.
The troops stationed in the eastern mountains were connected with Li Mu and Lian Po, who were stationed at the foot of the mountain, echoing each other.
The Tubo Army was good at fighting on mountains and plateaus.
The Tubo army under the control of Tashi was only 100,000, but it was the elite of the Tang Empire who competed with the Tang Empire for the four towns of Anxi in history. Its combat power was quite strong, and that was also the most powerful period in Tubo.
The population of Tubo is still too small, after all, the environment is harsh.
The environment is harsh and if there is a martial spirit, it will often be more fierce.

Chu Tian has sent the panels of Li Mu, Lian Po, Zhao She, Zhao Kuo, Wanyan Zonghan, and Wanyan Yinshu Kemo Nanjun to Zhaxi, who is also a player, so that he can basically understand the abilities of these generals in order to better cooperate.
In addition to Li Mu having the halo of the entire army, Lun Qinling, the commander of the Tubo army, also has the halo of the entire army. He is one of the few generals with the halo of the entire army, but mainly provides bonuses for the Tubo soldiers.
