Chapter 391: The Expedition of the Han Empire (Part 2)
Five hundred thousand army gathered, flags covered the sky, hundreds of famous generals from the Han Empire commanded 500,000 troops to fight! Below these famous generals, thousands of middle and low-level generals or officers were expeditioning to the main city in the west!
Chu Tian brought all the elite troops and left 50,000 low-level soldiers to defend the city.
Chu Tian’s own legion has more than 20,000 high-level arms, more than 2,000 Goryeo minions, and 30,000 low-level arms as cannon fodder and baggage teams.
Among the 500,000 expeditionary troops of the Han Empire, there were 300,000 elite troops and 200,000 low-level troops. The significance of the existence of low-level troops is to transport grain, siege cannon fodder, build fortifications, and saddle front and horse back.
Among the Expeditionary Force, there were thousands of doctors, military craftsmen, and Chu Tian also brought Zu Chongzhihe's guide van to determine that the direction of the expedition was not deviated. Otherwise, 500,000 Expeditionary Forces would penetrate into the hinterland of other civilizations, which would probably lead to direct explosions of other civilizations.
There are not many civilizations that can withstand the Han Empire's 500,000 expeditionary forces.
Chu Tian has a map in his hand, which is a rough map provided by the system. Theoretically, as long as the direction is not wrong, the 500,000 expeditionary force can arrive at the main city in the west in a timely and accurate manner.
Human wisdom is sometimes infinite. In the age of navigation, the map is even simpler than this, but navigators have used their theory and experience to explore a waterway between the eastern and western hemispheres.
"If you encounter other cities of civilizations in the middle, if they are hostile civilizations, you will directly conquer them. If they are powerful neutral civilizations, let them ced the city to us and serve as a supply station for us to march into the main city of the west. We will solve the problem in a 'friendly' way. If they are weak neutral civilizations, they will directly destroy them."
Chu Tian discussed with a group of princes of the Eastern Han Dynasty to establish a supply line between the current territory of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the main city in the western region, and needed to capture the cities along the way.
These cities may belong to different civilizations. Chu Tian and his team have different strategies to deal with different civilizations.
The enemy should be directly attacked; the powerful neutral civilization should be greeted in advance to let them avoid it; the weak neutral civilization should be bullied by the powerful civilization anyway, so you can be directly attacked.
Joan of Arc held the Red Dragon Banner, which symbolized the power of Chu Tian, and followed Chu Tian. She could hold the battle flag with one hand, and she had a lot of strength.
She was forced to transform from a French spiritual symbol to a symbol of Chutian's army, and she felt unaware of it. Even the French people did not think she was a French hero.
Dian Wei became Chu Tian's guard. Chu Tian did not have an eighth-level infantry battalion, so he had not yet recruited the Tiger Guard for Dian Wei. But the problem was not big. Chu Tian recruited a group of golden-level reckless men to serve as personal guards, which was no worse than high-level troops.
Or, the Tiger Guards and other imperial guards have their own military sources, which are a group of military generals with higher power. These generals do not have the ability to command the army, and are just right to use them as guards.
"Pang Juan, you and Li Ling commanded Wei Wuzhang and 15,000 low-level soldiers and horses to protect the baggage team. Guo Jia, you serve as the military advisor."
"Liang Hongyu, you continue to command the shooting camp and command a low-level crossbowman with 5,000 people."
"Five thousand low-level infantry were transferred to Le Yi's troops. Xu Rong, Xiahou Yuan, and Xiahou Dun temporarily commanded five thousand low-level light cavalry."
Chu Tian divided 30,000 low-level troops into each general.
"Joan of Arc, you command more than 2,000 Korean servants, so you don't have to worry about their lives or death."
Chu Tian handed over the captured soldiers of Goryeo to commander Joan of Arc.
Chu Tian oppressed the Servant Army too ruthlessly. The Servant Army captured by the national war last time was squandered by Chu Tian in previous battles. In this national war, Chu Tian finally replenished the Servant Army.
Joan of Arc felt cold in his heart, and Chu Tian probably would oppress her again.
"Your identity is far higher than them, just provide them with bonuses. The meaning of their existence is cannon fodder."
Chu Tian's words made Joan of Arc feel a little better.
Chu Tian did not mean to sacrifice her, but Joan of Arc had the ability to be a faith bonus similar to the Arab Empire, which could make the Servant Legion go on and on. There is no hero who is more suitable to serve as the commander of the Servant Legion than Joan of Arc, because the positioning of the Servant Legion is cannon fodder.
With a 50,000 army set out, Chu Tian owned three cities, accounting for one-tenth of the Han Empire's expeditionary force, and was one of the main forces of the Han Empire.
The strength of other princes is not bad at all!
The old Qin of Qianran divided the fifteen princes into three routes, each of which had five princes and more than 100,000 troops and horses. They divided their troops and advanced together and cooperated with each other.
After all, there are too many troops of 500,000, and it is impossible to march along one road, otherwise it would be possible to extend dozens of miles or even hundreds of miles in just a queue.
As long as the enemy cut off the formation in half with a cavalry, the Han Empire's army is likely to fight each other.
Therefore, sometimes it is necessary to divide the troops into one another, and it is impossible for all the troops to be squeezed together.
However, the three troops were not far apart, and they distributed scouts and conveyed information in a constant stream. It was extremely difficult for the enemy to defeat them one by one. After all, this time it was a battle for civilization. Occupying a main city will be beneficial to the future of the entire civilization!
The princes of the Eastern Han Dynasty were required to perform well, whether for their own interests or for the benefit of civilization, rather than dragging them down.
The three troops were commanded by the strongest Chu Tian, the old Qin, and the three princes of Mingguan.
As for the general Yuan Shao, not many strange princes gave him face. Now is no longer the time to attack Dong Zhuo. With the development of the major princes and the formation of their own prestige, Yuan Shao's status has dropped greatly.
For example, Chu Tian has the characteristics of "Four Generations and Three Dukes" and "Hanwu" and dominates the three states, with great military achievements. His prestige has long surpassed Yuan Shao. The old Qin wielded the emperor to order his despise the ministers, and has his own characteristics, and his prestige is higher than Yuan Shao. Otherwise, the Xun family would not have sent Xun Yu to invest in the old Qin.
The three soldiers and horses, Chu Tian, Lao Qin and Mingguan, each selected the princes with good relations with them to form the same route.
Chu Tian was leaving Huoan, Xu Fengnian, Zhang Dao, and Mu Ke, the lord of the Southern Barbarians.
Chu Tian saved Huo An's life in the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the first epic battle, and asked the miraculous doctor Hua Tuo to treat Huo Qubing. He had a good relationship with Huo An. Huo An also gave Chu Tian nine precious Dayuan horses.
In order to combine the Han Empire with the two walls, Chu Tian’s first choice was Huo’an.
The second is Xu Fengnian, who is a partner in the trade. He and Xu Fengnian are just financially related and do not care about it.
However, Xu Fengnian, who provided Chu Tian with a large number of excellent war horses every year, helped Chu Tian a lot. Similarly, the salt, iron and food provided to Xu Fengnian was also crucial for Xu Fengnian to dominate Xiliang.
It can be said that both of them cannot live without each other. Chu Tian is the second one to leave Xu Fengnian.
The third person to leave is the lord of Hanzhong, Zhang Dao.
Even Lao Qin and Mingguan were a little surprised by this choice. They thought Chu Tian would choose Hebei overlords like Zhao Long or Hu Ma, but they did not expect to choose Zhang Dao.
However, Lao Qin soon came to his senses. Zhang Dao preached the dojo in Hanzhong, and the people were very popular. If Chu Tian and Zhang Dao had a good relationship, Zhang Dao would harass Lao Qin from time to time in the future, it would be Lao Qin who was uncomfortable. During the Second National War, Zhang Dao was besieged by three major European lords, but Chu Tian saved it. The two had the emotional basis to establish a cooperative relationship!
Chu Tian has gradually gotten rid of his youthful state and is affected by Xia Tianliang. Especially after his eldest son was born, he became more experienced in his work. He joined forces with Xu Fengnian of Xiliang and Zhang Dao of Hanzhong to form an encirclement of Guanzhong.
The old Qin was in pain. In order to make Chu Tian feel uncomfortable, he chose to bring Tang and Zhao Long with him.
Two people form a surround net with each other.
The old Qin and Mingguan divide the princes into each other.
There are not many choices left for Chu Tian. Chu Tian’s fourth choice was Mu Ke, the lord of the Southern Barbarians.
This is a female princes, yes, 100% of female princes, not women's clothing princes.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, due to cultural soil issues, female princes were rare. Unlike in Europe, women also had the right to inherit titles. Perhaps the Eastern Han Dynasty also had female lords with outstanding abilities, but they often stayed behind the scenes and indirectly influenced the entire force, such as summer cold. The power of the wind beside the pillow is very powerful.
In the Southern Barbarians, there was a tradition of female chieftains, so the only remaining female princes in the Eastern Han Dynasty were born.
Neither Lao Qin nor Mingguan chose her because both of them valued the strength of their companions. The princes of the Southern Barbarians looked weak, and no one had heard of Mu Ke.
If it weren't for the princes with a population of one million or above that had to participate in the national war, no one would have paid attention to this female prince.
But Chu Tian believed that the princes who could dominate the Southern Barbarians were not good at it, and their strength might not be as weak as imagined.
Mu Ke brought fifty war elephants. Although there are not many war elephants, they can have miraculous effects if used well.
"I will not let you down. You are the number one prince of the Eastern Han Dynasty. I am not as good as you, but I will do my best to fight the national war."
Mu Ke is not a beauty, she has a little freckles on her face, but she has the style of a woman.
Old Qin and Mingguan looked down on her strength, but Chu Tian chose her, so he was very grateful to Chu Tian.
A scholar dies for his confidant.
"Just do your best."
Chu Tian murmured in his heart, Lao Qin chose Tang, Zhao Long, Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, Mingguan selected Hu Ma, Liu An, and Tian Qi, and only one Southern Barbarian and one Tubo princes were left. Chu Tian didn't know them, so he chose the Southern Barbarian princes. Since he didn't know them, choosing one from the Southern Barbarian and Tubo princes was always pleasing to the eye than a fierce man.
This is Chu Tian’s idea, very real.
Mu Ke didn't know Chu Tian's true thoughts, and was full of gratitude to Chu Tian, becoming the follower of the first prince.
Chu Tian did not consider Mu Ke's feelings. The main force of his troops along the way was himself, Huo An and Xu Fengnian. Xu Fengnian's Longxi County hid many military generals. Chu Tian believed that Xu Fengnian dared to fight against Lao Qin was not as simple as the surface. After all, Longxi County was occupied by the Longxi lords very early.
Zhang Dao also has his own special ability, which is to quickly explode soldiers. The entire Eastern Han Dynasty did not have the ability to explode soldiers of the princes as good as Zhang Dao. As long as Zhang Dao is willing, he can transform the strong men in the city into a peasant uprising army.
Combat power is also said, at least in terms of number of people, it can scare the enemy.
The sky-summing fragrance array penetrates Chang'an, and the city is covered with golden armor!
Any civilization will be frightened when seeing the peasant uprising army everywhere!
In addition to elephant soldiers, Mu Ke's Southern Barbarian Legion also has special troops such as vine armor soldiers, chieftain wolf soldiers, and other special troops, which may not be weak.
If he is really weak, Mu Ke is not qualified to participate in this national war.
"Set off!"
Five hundred thousand Han troops set up camps in batches and marched towards the Gobi in the north. It is expected to march for 100 miles and then march for 500 miles eastward, and you can reach the main city in the west!
The 500,000 army is extremely large, and it can’t be seen at first sight, with iron armor and flags flying!
Chu Tian personally commanded the four princes, including himself, a total of five princes, and became the commander of the Eastern Route Army. Lao Qin served as the commander of the Central Route Army. Mingguan served as the commander of the Western Route Army.
The three Han troops took care of each other!
The black war eagle fell on Joan of Arc's shoulders, and she seemed to like Mulan's war eagle very much. The war eagle, who usually ignores Chu Tian, also felt Joan of Arc's affinity.
If these war eagles were not for reconnaissance, Chu Tian vowed to roast these war eagles and add a little more cumin.
Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Xun You served as Chu Tian's planners, and Lu Su and Cao Gui also followed Chu Tian to experience.
"Aowu~~"
Mi Fang, Wu'anguo, Lu Kuang, and Xing Daorong rode their horses in the Gobi Desert, their blood was boiling, and they wanted to kill all the enemies in front of them.
Chu Tian frowned, not knowing which strange man Mi Fang learned bad habits. The wolf roared endlessly and even led other generals to ruin.
The torrent formed by the three Han troops came to the north.
In the north, there is a large neutral civilization, the sphere of influence of the Persian Empire.
More than 100,000 main Persian troops began to gather. After they heard that the Han Empire was the largest in the south, they all looked pale.
The Persian Empire was considered a powerful civilization, but because it did not reach its peak, it seemed powerless in front of the 500,000 expeditionary troops of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
"I understand my words very well. With their own strength, you Persia is not an opponent of the Eastern Han Dynasty at all. You must unite with the surrounding civilizations to increase your winning rate in the battle for the main city. Otherwise, you will hit the stone with your eggs!"
Choi Zaishan, the lord of Goryeo, defected to Persian civilization.
At this time, the Persian Empire was the famous Parthian Empire (also known as the Silence Empire, the Second Persian Empire). It could also recruit heroes from the First Persian Empire and the Third Empire, with more than two thousand years of accumulation. If it were not for the restriction of population, the Persian Empire could have been very strong.
Sitting on the main seat is the first Persian lord, currently the commander of the Imperial Guards of the Emperor of the Silence Empire, the game id "The Commander of the Immortal Army", whose real name is Ardashir, looked at Choi Jae-sun, the lord of the East who defected to him: "But our Persia is a mortal enemy of that civilization and is incompatible."
Choi Jae-sun was aggressive: "One interest, only interests are everything. Seizing the main city can accumulate advantages for civilization, and in the face of interests, all hatred can be let go."
