The first thousand two hundred and twenty-six chapters are in Persia
"Your Majesty, the number of soldiers captured or surrendered voluntarily is as many as 500,000 people, which is difficult to calculate."
Fang Xuanling counted and counted the prisoners' soldiers and horses, and the number of enemies captured in the river was unimaginable.
These are 500,000 soldiers!
The Golden Family was killed in battle, and there were as many as one million soldiers and horses captured. In addition, Timur, who occupied the Indian Peninsula, established his own business, and basically only the Persian army, a small number of Mongolian army and Turkic army were left.
Therefore, the spoils of the decisive battle in the river were not only the ruined land in the river region, but also changed the pattern, resulting in the collapse of the Golden Family.
The pattern of "Lord" has become the Great Xia Dynasty, the maritime alliance, the crusade, and the split Ilikhanate and the Timur Empire have become second-rate forces, which can no longer be considered an equal force with the first three.
Hundreds of thousands of people died in the Indian Peninsula, and their vitality was severely damaged.
"In the second Western Expedition, we should use the power of the minion army as much as possible."
After Fang Xuanling's statistics, Chu Tian decided to change the composition of the Western Expedition Army during the Second Western Expedition.
During the first Western Expedition, Chu Tian basically relied on the troops of the Daxia Dynasty.
The Western Regions Army, Tubo Army, Monan Army, and Nanbar Army are also considered as military troops in the headquarters. The troops in the Hezhong region and the Goryeo Kingdom are considered as minions.
After capturing the Golden Family's 500,000 troops, Chu Tian had a huge army of servants.
In addition, on the way to conquer the four islands of Japan, Chu Wu, Bai Qi, Le Yi and others captured a large number of warriors and ronin, and were also a considerable number of servants.
There are also the Kingdoms of Great Yue, Siam, Zhen La, and these kingdoms in Southeast Asian civilization areas, which are also the source of the minion army.
Therefore, during the second Western Expedition, Chu Tian's source of troops became more powerful.
After Chu Tian returned to the Seljuk King City, Chu Tian decided to return to Xia City and rest for a while.
Each legion needs time to replenish weapons, food, clothing, and troops.
It will take a certain amount of time to recruit 500,000 surrendered soldiers.
Chu Tian had just entered the teleportation array. A woman was waiting in the teleportation array in Xiacheng, but it was Xue Yue of the Intelligence Department: "Your Majesty, we have received the news that Alexander captured the city of Damascus in Syria and sent troops to attack the city of Baghdad in Persia."
"Alexander...the Crusaders really took advantage of the situation."
Chu Tian's eyes sterned.
The first Western Expedition was already the limit to conquering Central Asia. When winter came, Chu Tian could not take the opportunity to take risks to attack West Asia. If the entire Crusader was alarmed, it would probably not be a conflict with the Golden Family, and the kings of Europe would be alarmed.
Before he was fully prepared, Chu Tian was unwilling to fight with the kings of the West.
No Western king is a match for Chu Tian. If the Crusaders as a whole, it is hard to say, especially the Lords have home and away games.
The attacking party's troops should be several times the defense. If both sides are equal, the difficulty of the attacking party will suddenly increase.
The best way to expedition is to use war to support war, but the defensive side also has tactics to deal with the offensive side's use war to support war, that is, to strengthen the walls and clear the fields.
There are many castles and fortresses in Western Europe, and countries cannot annex each other, mostly because it is time-consuming and labor-intensive to conquer cities and land in Western Europe.
"Eighty red cannons are enough to deal with the Golden Family, but they are far from enough to attack medieval castles and priests in Europe..."
...
In the city of Baghdad in the Persian Empire, Alexander the Great of the Macedonian Empire personally fought, and the holy commander Belisarius swept all the way and was invincible.
Hulagu, a member of the Golden Family, led his troops out of the city to fight against Belisarius.
The war broke out in the western part of the Persian Empire, and the Mongolian cavalry, Persian cavalry fought fiercely with Macedonian, Byzantine, Ottoman, and Greek soldiers!
Alexander the Great, with his secretary Eumenis, and the philosopher Aristotle, were observing the entire battlefield.
The partner cavalry protected Alexander under the command of Alexander's best friend Hefestion.
Eumenis was in charge of commanding the Silver Shield Army of Macedonia.
These two elite troops are Alexander's direct troops.
In addition, the importance of Athens in the Greek civilization, the Spartan city-state army was second only to the direct troops of the Macedonian Kingdom.
The king of Sparta, Leonida, had a terrible aura, with muscles like bronze.
The three hundred Spartan warriors had murderous eyes. As long as Leonida gave her order, they would continue to go one after another. Even if the enemy troops on the other side exceeded 100,000, they would rush up without hesitation and fight to the death with the enemy.
The Spartans were of high-level troops as soon as they became adults. The three hundred Spartan warriors were elite soldiers selected from the Spartan heavy infantry and were extremely brave.
"King, Spartan army, request to fight and destroy the Mongol rule in Persia!"
Leonida was majestic and took the initiative to ask Alexander for a fight.
"You don't need to go to battle, Belisarius is sure to win. You keep your strength and elite, and in the future, you will deal with strong enemies from the Far East."
Alexander did not let the three hundred Spartan warriors deal with Hulagu, who guarded the Persian Empire.
Leonida and the Three Hundred Spartans were one of the trump cards Alexander used to deal with Chu Tian.
Even Alexander consumed a lot of troops to conquer the Spartan city-state, so Alexander knew how terrible it would be if these Spartans got angry.
However, the Spartans were not very good at strategy. Only in the hands of real heroes can the 300 Spartan warriors and the Spartan heavy infantry recruited from the Spartan city-state be perfectly played.

And he, Alexander, exists like this.
"Appoint the order to end the battle as soon as possible. The Romans are coming. If the Arabs had not restrained the Romans, then the Romans would have come to get a share. Persia is a treasure house."
Alexander has coveted this ancient land of Persia for a long time.
Persia is a land channel between the East and the West. Only when Persia is controlled can the Macedonian Empire be qualified to be called the Great Empire.
As Alexander urged the end of the battle, an overheavalous cavalry appeared from the Macedonian coalition, rolling up sand and dust!
The earth was trembling, and the "king of bad soldiers" Belisarius commanded the iron-armored paladins of the Byzantine Empire and launched an attack on the Mongolian heavy cavalry of Hulagu!
Belisarius's "military power" has steadily surpassed Hulagu, so in Alexander's eyes, Belisarius is almost sure to win.
The Mongolian and Persians lost their morale sharply due to the failure of the Battle in the River, and Hulagu could not improve his morale at all.
