Chapter five hundred and seventy seventh expedition round platform
The Cheshi Kingdom, the Han Empire's expeditionary force is ready to go, leaving behind 100,000 guards of the Cheshi Kingdom!
The Western Regions Protectorate and the Southern Central reinforcements had about 70,000 soldiers, and formed 400,000 expeditionary forces with the Han Empire's expeditionary force, known as the 800,000 army, supporting Luntai City!
This expeditionary force came from within the pass including Chu Tian’s Guard Corps, Le Yi’s Offensive Corps, Guanzhong Corps of the Qianlong Old Qin, and Xu Fengnian’s remnants of Xiliang.
The Western Regions Protectorate sent Huo Qubing, Zhao Ponu, Li Siye, and Wang Xuance, the chief general in the name of Miss Huo Qing, and Huo Qubing as the deputy general, and raised 40,000 troops.
The reinforcements in the Southern Central Army, with Mu Ke as the main general, Qin Liangyu as the deputy general, raised 30,000 troops and had twenty iron armored war elephants.
The Iron Bird Legion and the Cheshi Kingdom were in charge of the army, and the Cheshi Kingdom remained behind.
Huo Qing gave Cao Ren and Man Chong the power to kill any nobles of Cheshi Kingdom and act cheaply, so that the nobles of Cheshi Kingdom would not dare to act rashly.
Forty-hundred thousand people went on an expedition, except for the war horses and camels brought by the princes of the Han Empire from the pass, Huo Qing and Wang Xuance plundered all the pack horses and camels from Cheshi Kingdom, and used them to transport food and arrows.
The 400,000 army is extremely large.
In fact, the distance from Cheshiguo to Luntai City is not far, otherwise the number of pack horses and camels to be used will be even more exaggerated.
Chu Tian and others could not imagine how the Han Empire would rescue Luntai attacked by Temujin without the teleportation array of Che Shiguo.
Just the supplies needed for the expedition of the Thousand Miles can't bear it by ordinary empires.
The two-meter-high camel carries bundles of arrows, forming huge long dragons.
The 400,000 army consumed more than one million arrows, and tens of thousands of camels needed.
Huo Qubing's Legion replaced new weapons and armor in Cheshi Kingdom. The materials hoarded by Huo'an played a role, allowing the remnants of the Western Regions Protectorate to remain combat-effective.
As a general of the Western Regions Protectorate, Huo Qubing volunteered to lead the army of the Western Regions Protectorate to open the way for the Han Empire's expeditionary army.
The imperial cavalry, the Tubo cavalry, the Tang Dynasty Modao team, and the 36-nation minion army were the first to set out under the leadership of Huo Qubing.
Unlike ordinary people who imagine that 400,000 troops march together, 400,000 troops cannot crowd together...
The larger the size of the legion, the more you need to divide the troops. If there are multiple roads, you can divide the troops and advance together; if there is only one road, you must divide it into vanguard troops, central troops, and rear troops, and gather in designated cities or plains in front.
From Cheshi Kingdom to Luntai Kingdom, we have to pass through the Gobi, rivers, foothills, and the edge of the desert. Even if we want to divide our troops together, there are not so many suitable roads. We can only divide the expeditionary army into front, middle and back armies, and march along the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains.
Fortunately, there are many rivers and lakes on the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, and the conditions are not particularly harsh.
Many cities in the Western Regions are located in rivers and lakes from north to south of the Tianshan Mountains.
"I led the Guanzhong Army as the rear army and prepared for the defense quickly."
The scouts of the Han Empire discovered the Subutai Army that was following behind, so the old Qin took the initiative to take on the task of the rear army.
The cavalry of Subutai pursued Huo Qubing and chased the country to Cheshi Kingdom, trying to follow the expeditionary force of the Han Empire and launch an assault at a critical moment.
The princes of the Han Empire were not good at plagiarism, and after deducing Subutai's intention, they were prepared.
Therefore, the Western Regions Protectorate Legion was the vanguard, Chu Tian, Mu Ke, and Xu Fengnian were the central 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 looked down from the sky. A huge expeditionary force was marching along the towering southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, towards Luntai City, which was besieged by Mongolian cavalry.
The battle flag of the Han Empire sounded with the strong wind, yellow sand flew, and golden armors fought for hundreds of battles, making an unprecedented expedition!
This expedition was for the strategy of the Han Empire.
If the Western Regions are lost, the territory of the Han Empire will shrink, and even Central Asia will become a fog of war, threatening the Hexi Corridor and Guanlong.
The war eagle flew eastward, flew over the head of the Guanzhong legion of the brave old Qin Dynasty, and behind them were the cavalry of Subutai. The cavalry of Subutai was everywhere in the mountains, with a total of more than 100,000 people.
The Mongol Empire migrated to the Western Regions by two million people. Subutai selected warriors from them and formed a cavalry unit of more than 100,000 people to pursue Huo Qubing.
More than 100,000 cavalrymen drove away cattle and sheep, captured villages and towns along the way, and obtained supplies, but they did not have as much supply pressure as the Han Empire Expeditionary Force.
Subutai's cavalry bypassed the city of Cheshi Kingdom and followed the expeditionary army of the Han Empire.
The war eagle that explored the horse was also soaring in the air. It looked at each other with the war eagle that scouted the iron eagle, and it actually fought in the air, with the black feather floating.
Subutai caught a glimpse of two war eagles fighting.
As special light cavalry, the Detective Ma Chi and the Iron Eagle Scout have special reconnaissance methods such as War Eagle.
When he saw the Iron Eagle scout, Su Butai knew that his cavalry had been noticed by the Han Empire. However, Su Butai didn't care.
It is basically impossible for a cavalry of more than 100,000 people to be unaware of it.
The war eagle of the Iron Eagle Scout seemed to have the upper hand, defeating the war eagle of the Tamma Chi, and forcing the Tamma Chi to leave and seeking the protection of the master.
Subutai's son Wuliang Hetai took down the Mongolian bow behind him and tried to shoot the war eagle.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the War Eagle, the Iron Eagle scout, immediately left the place and caught up with the Han army.
The hovering war eagle flew down and fell on Mulan's arm. Mulan caressed the wings of the war eagle.
This war eagle has been serving her for several years and is also the Eagle King among the war eagles owned by the Iron Eagle Scout Cavalry.
"Lord, Subutai's cavalry indeed bypassed the Cheshi Kingdom and followed us."
Mulan obtained information about Subutai from Zhanying and immediately reported it to Chu Tian.
"We have discovered the traces of Subutai. Even if he follows him, it is natural. Don't worry, Lao Qin can block him."
After Chu Tian learned about the news about the Taiwan Legion, he did not make any fuss.
The Taiwan Legion had his intentions, but it did not make the princes of the Han Empire feel scared.
The 150,000 Guanzhong Army of the old Qin Dynasty, including the Five Northern Army Leaders led by Zhu Yan, is not so easy to deal with.
During this expedition to Luntai, the military generals and troops mobilized by the Han Empire can be said to be very luxurious. Whether it is the front, central or rear army, there are a group of famous generals and elite legions to overtake the formation.
"However, this news will be given to the old Qin, so that he can be extra careful and pay attention to the investigation. The weather in the Western Regions is changing, and the temperature difference between day and night is extremely large. If you are not careful, you may be defeated by Subutai."
Chu Tian ordered Tieying scout to inform the old Qin about the movements of the Subu Taiwan Legion.
The existence of the Subu Taiwan Legion poses the greatest threat to the Qianran Lao Qin, who is the rear army.
Joan of Arc held a holy flag and followed Chu Tian.
Joan of Arc's motivational ability and fanatical ability have greatly improved Chu Tian's legion.
Originally, Chu Tian planned to arrange Joan of Arc in Cheshi Kingdom and even returned to Xiacheng to take care of her, but she insisted on participating in the expedition to Luntai, so Chu Tian obeyed.
However, Joan of Arc is not suitable for charging, so Chu Tian can only be with him, which is similar to Sun Bin's role, providing assistance to Chu Tian's legion and strengthening Chu Tian's cavalry to the greatest extent.
Mu Ke’s Southern Central Army is also part of the Central Army.
Mu Ke was anxious about supporting Luntai City, but he was also anxious.
Twenty tall war elephants formed a copper wall and an iron wall. A wooden tower was set on the back of the war elephants, with spearmen and archers on it to attack the enemy.
The Iron-armored War Elephant is a special ninth-level army. It is well used and can have unexpected effects.
A team of vine armored soldiers marched on foot under the leadership of Wutugu.
Wutubo's body is too tall to have no suitable war horse.
Or, Wu Tugu can ride a battle elephant and regard the battle elephant as a war horse...
Qin Liangyu was relatively calm. She commanded her white pole soldiers, which were a high-level mountain infantry.
Chu Tian had a mountain legion under his command - Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Legion.
However, Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army was obviously inferior to Qin Liangyu's White Rod Army.
Qin Liangyu's white-sling soldiers can even fight with the Eight Banners cavalry on the plains, which shows how powerful the white-sling soldiers are!
If Qin Liangyu is included in the Black Mountain Legion, the Black Mountain Legion's mountain combat capability will be greatly enhanced.
The two lords Huo An and Mu Ke have one or two generals who are in the bottom of the box and have incorporated them into their own power. Then Huo Qubing and Qin Liangyu are all his own...
In order to win the famous general, Chu Tian didn't even mind being named Huo An and Mu Ke was a governor-level figure.
If the soldiers do not have bloodshed, the southern barbarians will be able to seize tens of millions of gold and silver, and there will be powerful generals and elite legions to surrender. What are the positions of the two governors?
Now is not the best time to incorporate Huo An and Mu Ke.
Huo An and Mu Ke joined forces and their troops were quite strong.
This is the terrible thing about political marriage. If one lord marrys another lord, his power can be doubled. If one lord is in trouble, another lord may come to rescue him.
Xu Fengnian's Guanzhong Army was left with only a small amount of remnants, and he still formed his own army.
Behind the Han Empire Expeditionary Force, the 150,000 Guanzhong army of the sturdy old Qin stretched for a hundred miles, with neat armor and majestic staggering sand and dust.
The 150,000 Guanzhong army used thousands of carriages. Lao Qin's Guanzhong economy could still withstand such consumption.
The old Qin was brave enough to cut off the rear with Wang Jian's Qin Ruishi, and he was always on guard against the Taiwan Legion.
Lao Qin seemed to be unable to withstand the climate of the Western Regions and had to dress up as locals in the Western Regions to avoid the attacks of wind and sand.
Wang Jian used his sword and landed at the end, but did not complain at all, but patiently commanded the Qin Ruishi Legion to advance.
"Is it easy? If you have the chance, you should see if your Mongolian cavalry is sharp or my Qin Ruishi is strong."
Wang Jian learned that the Han Empire expeditionary force was followed by Subutai's cavalry, and he was very determined to fight.
It is said that Subutai is one of the best generals under Temujin's account.
