Chapter 608: Expedition to Central Asia (Supplement 18/20)(2/2)
The supply of the Expeditionary Force is limited, so only the most elite troops are qualified to participate in the expedition. They cannot go on the expedition according to the size of the legion. They can only draw out the elite troops of each legion separately and then reorganize them into a 50,000 legion.
Chu Tian personally served as the commander of the legion.
The signs of Joan of De's pregnancy were already obvious. Chu Tian asked her to return to Xiacheng to rest and refused to let her follow the army.
In addition to Joan of Arc, there are also heroes who inspire morale such as Li Xiuning and Liang Hongyu, so Chu Tian was not panicked at all.
The old Qin of Qianran selected 30,000 people from the elite of the Guanzhong Legion, mainly Qin Ruishi and Sanhe Cavalry.
Huo'an's 30,000 people were mainly servants, with military generals such as Ban Chao, Gao Xianzhi, and Li Siye as deputy generals.
Huo Qing also requested to follow the battle.
Perhaps learning from this lesson, in order to cultivate a candidate who can help him govern the Western Regions Protectorate at a critical moment, Huoan agreed to let his sister go to war with him for the first time.
Wang Xuance was left by Huo An in the Western Regions Protectorate, responsible for suppressing the 36 countries in the Western Regions and providing logistics supplies.
With Wang Xuance in Luntai, it was difficult for the nobles of the 36 countries in the Western Regions to gradually undermine their power.
Mu Ke's South Central Army was still Qin Liangyu and Wutugu, with the main forces of the white pole soldiers and the vine armor soldiers, with only 10,000 people.
The war elephant troops she brought were almost all killed in the battle of the Luntai Kingdom, so they were not on the ranks of this expedition.
The expeditionary force looked to shrink in size, but because of the decrease in number, the movements were not that clumsy.
The Chagatai Khanate wanted to recruit hundreds of thousands of troops to block the expeditionary force, and it also depends on whether it could raise enough food and grass for hundreds of thousands of troops to use.
In addition, Chu Tian’s “Tian Khan” characteristics and Huo’an’s “Western Region Protector” characteristics can recruit and disband the minion army from the enemy country to reduce the consumption of supplies and troops. Therefore, in theory, there is no need to carry too many low-level troops, just carry elite troops.
On the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, there are also the 110,000 expeditionary troops of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing.
