Chapter 607 Central Asia Beacon Fire (Supplement 17/20)
In the Sir River Basin in Central Asia, the Seljuk Empire, Tuglile Sultan learned that Temujin was going to attack him. After being furious, Tuglile Sultan assembled 200,000 cavalry to resist the offensive from the Chagatai Khanate on the Tulan Plain and waited for an opportunity to attack the Chagatai Khanate.
As a great figure in the Seljuk Empire, Tuglile Sultan had the right authority in the Seljuk Empire. He needed an epic victory to re-establish his prestige!
Two hundred thousand Seljuk cavalry, many of whom were herdsmen, were placed on the edge of the Tulan Plain.
The war horses neighed and the horns echoed, demonstrating the force of the Seljuk Empire to the Chagatai Khanate.
Even after experiencing a crushing defeat in the Battle of the Ili River Valley, Tuglile Sultan was still the overlord of Central Asia.
"Your Majesty, the Khwarezmians have surrendered to the iron hoof of Temujin under the pressure of the Ili Khanate and the Chagatai Khanate. They are located in the southwest of us, so we must be careful to guard against the Khwarezm cavalry. If the Khwarezm cavalry take the opportunity to attack our empire, we will be attacked from both sides."
A young Seljuk nobleman, Alp Arslan, reminded his uncle, the great Sultan of Tuglile.
"I have deployed 50,000 troops on the border to guard against the Khwarezmians."
Tuglile Sultan tried his best to control the slightly irritable war horse and said in confusion: "Strange, why is this little guy anxious recently?"
The nephew of the Sultan, Alp, looked opposite. At the end of the Tulan Plain, a cavalry arrived in snow, and the battle flag of the Chagatai Khanate was torn to pieces by the cold wind!
At present, the Chagatai Khanate, the Ili Khanate, and the Golden Horde have all issued a city-closing order, forming a fog of war against the five major civilizations, and the five major civilizations must be dealt with carefully.
The five major civilizations also began to block the news, forming a fog effect on Temujin.
In other words, the nine empires/Khanate are divided into two camps, testing each other, and at critical moments, they reveal their sharp fangs and swallow their opponents!
In the Fourth National War, the battlefield on the Eastern Continent was extremely dangerous. If you were not careful, you would die and your country would be destroyed.
Unlike previous national wars, you can still withdraw from the national war battlefield even if you fail.
The battlefield of the fourth national war is the main world. There is no way to retreat, only a death battle.
"Your Majesty, you are the cavalry of the Chagatai Khanate!"
The young Seljuk Empire noble Alp reminded the Tuglile Sultan who was taming his war horse.
Tuglile Sultan is already old, his beard is as white as snow. He squinted his eyes and it took him a while to see a thick black line appeared on the horizon.
The strong wind swept across the Tulan Plain from time to time to tear the battle robe, the snow was flying, and countless cavalry confronted each other, and there was a dead silence on the battlefield.
"Tuglier, probably, is going to be buried, and he dares to command the army in person. How can he continue to do so many cavalry at one time?"
Timur led 30,000 cavalry from the Chagatai Khanate to the Ili River Valley and expedition the Seljuk Empire.
Chagatai began to reuse Qianhu Timur, who had made his mark in the Luntai War.
Now, Timur is already the ten thousand households of the Chagatai Khanate and the commander of the Chagatai Khanate Expeditionary Force.
Originally, Chagatai planned to give Timur 50,000 cavalry, but Timur only demanded 30,000 cavalry.
According to Timur, even if Chagatai gave him 50,000 cavalry, in the cold winter and lacking city supplies, it would be difficult for him to support so many cavalry, 30,000 was just right.
Moreover, the Chagatai Khanate needed to leave a large number of troops to defend against the threat from the Western Regions Protectorate.
All signs indicate that the Han Empire's expeditionary forces did not leave Luntai and were still peeking at the royal city of the Khanate of the Gatai.
The cavalry of the Chagatai Khanate confronted the plains in the Seljuk Empire, and both sides were eyeing each other.
However, Timur did not take the initiative to attack, but was as cunning as a fox, wiping away the patience of the Seljuk Empire's army.
"The warriors of Seljuk defeated these cavalry from the East and used their blood to pay homage to the soldiers who died in the Ili River Valley. To win this victory, everyone can get a reward!"
Tuglile Sultan drew out his sword and directed the army to attack Timur's cavalry!
In his opinion, Timur came to provoke the Seljuk Empire with only 30,000 cavalry, which was an insult to the Seljuk Empire!
Unless Timur believes that relying on 30,000 cavalry can destroy the Seljuk Empire!
The strong wind swept through the scattered snowflakes, and the vast Seljuk cavalry charged Timur's cavalry, and divided into three groups to encircle Timur's cavalry!
"withdraw!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Timur led the cavalry of the Chagatai Khanate and retreated without fighting.
"Catch them up, kill them, and ask me for a reward with their heads!"
Tuglile Sultan hated the Chagatai Khanate to the core and ordered the cavalry to go up and chase him!
Just in case, he sent his nephew Alp to pursue Timur's cavalry, leaving tens of thousands of cavalry to protect himself.
Even though he was old, he still maintained a little caution.
...
In the Khwarezm Kingdom, Sultan Mahamo was captured by Yelu Dashi in the Battle of the Ili River Valley and was killed. Ogedei and Yelu Dashi entered the place. The Khwarezm Kingdom surrendered to Ogedei and Yelu Dashi.
In order to preserve their status and interests, the nobles of Khwarezm still had no such thing as the matter despite surrender.
Changing dynasties is the emperor's business, as long as Ogedei recognizes their interests.
"Yelu Dashi, Ben Khan shares Khwarezm with you, and you are the deputy king."
After Ogedei was attacked by Hoan to destroy the Khanate, the land and population rewarded by Temujin finally recovered.
Khwarezm was sandwiched between the Ili Khanate, the Kushan Empire, the Seljuk Empire, the Chagatai Khanate, and the Western Regions Protectorate. The location was actually quite embarrassing.
Therefore, Ogedei needs Yelu Dashi's talent.
During the expansion of power, no one will refuse generals with commandership.
Yelu Dashi was assigned to Ogedei, and no one knew what he really thought.
Like Timur, Yelu Dashi is not an ordinary person either.
"Open the teleportation array of Khwarezm as soon as possible and defeat the Seljuk Empire, otherwise we will be passive."
Yelu Dashi was not that excited, but suggested that Ogedei follow Temujin's orders as soon as possible.
"Well... it's true. It's because Ben Khan regained his fief and was too arrogant."
After all, Ogedei was not an ordinary prince. He quickly restrained his excitement and respected Yelu Dashi. Then, according to the plan, he opened the teleportation array of a large city in the Khwarezm Kingdom.
Mengge of the Ili Khanate led more than a dozen commanders to come out of the teleportation array, and glanced at the group of Khwarezm soldiers in front of him.
"It turned out to be Meng Ge, and I thought it would be Hulagu."
Ogedei knew that several sons of the fourth brother Tolei had inherited Tolei's military talents, and the Mongol Empire established a country with force and advocated conquest by force.
Among Tolei's sons, Hulagu should have the strongest military talent.
"I will bring victory if I Khan Ogedei."
Mengge was not shaken by Ogedei's words.
"This military general should have captured dozens of Persian Empire cities. With him attacking the Seljuk Empire, the city defense of the Seljuk Empire can be easily destroyed."
Ogedei looked at the siege general brought by Mengge.
The siege generals cooperate with Xiangyang cannons and siege towers. Unless they are top fortresses, they will...
"In three days, you can set out to attack the Seljuk Empire. The troops of Chagatai have already restrained the old man Tuglier. Tuglier thought that by deploying tens of thousands of people on the Khwarezm border, he could defend his empire, but he was just wishful thinking."
Ogedei and Yelu Dashi gathered Khwarezm cavalry, while Mengge brought the Persian Khorasan minion army.
...
"I've been a little uneasy lately."
After Chu Tian was in Wei Qing and Huo Qubing began his expedition, he had a faint sense of anxiety, as if a storm would come.
It is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster.
Man-made disasters are more terrible than natural disasters.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Catherine rubbed her eyes, and she was honest in her current state.
"I can't sleep anymore, I have a bad feeling today."
Although Chu Tian wanted to make up for his debt to Katerina, he vaguely sensed that an uneasy atmosphere was brewing.
"snort……"
Caterina suspected that Chu Tian’s real motive was to escape from the squeeze.
"The Seljuk Empire Sultan claimed that there was a cavalry from the Chagatai Khanate entering the eastern part of the Turan Plain controlled by the Seljuk Empire!"
However, Chu Tian was really premonitioned that Temujin began to organize an offensive, trying to find a breakthrough in Central Asia and seize the initiative again.
"Did he really have a premonition about danger?"
After Katerina changed into her clothes, she found that Chu Tian was guessing and was very surprised.
But in fact, Chu Tian just said casually.
Although Luntai City is relatively leisurely, with civil servants in the territory and military generals in training, except for Joan of Arc, summer is cold, Mulan, and Caterina take turns to fight, and everyone is competitive, and Chu Tian can't bear it...
So find an excuse to let go.
But this time it was really not going well.
The Seljuk Empire was destroyed, and the five major civilized coalitions would have four civilizations left.
"Temujin plans to be weak first and then strong."
"We can put pressure on the Golden Horde, Chagatai Khanate, and Ili Khanate."
"We can also weaken first and then strong, and completely compress the territory of the three major Khanates."
"The Persian Empire, the Arab Empire, urged them to send troops."
"Yekaterina, you may have to return to the Grand Duchy of Moscow, command your legion, test the attack on the Golden Horde, and restrain the troops of the Golden Horde. If you have the opportunity, with your power, you may be able to directly push the Golden Horde."
Chu Tian found that Ekaterina's family was thicker than he thought. Ekaterina not only owned heroes of the Grand Principal of Moscow, but also Polish heroes, Viking heroes, etc., and the population in the territory was definitely quite large.
