Chapter 614 Ili River Valley(1/2)
In the Chagatai Khanate, all the cities were in panic and kept their doors behind closed doors.
The Han Empire Expeditionary Force was quickly forcing the royal city of Alimali of the Chagatai Khanate, and captured a city in the middle of the journey and obtained supplies!
Chu Tian used the "Tian Khan" and Huo'an used the "Western Region Protector" characteristics to force the vassal army to strengthen the scale of the Han Empire's expeditionary army!
After crossing the Tianshan Mountains and arriving in the Yili River Valley, it is no longer so difficult to replenish supplies, and the scale of the expeditionary army can be expanded.
"Chagatai, Borshu, Zhelem, Kubilai, Crasus, you follow me and go to attack this Han army. They came over the Tianshan Mountains, and there must be not many soldiers."
Temujin, who was temporarily living in Alimari, had to raise an army to fight because the Han army invaded the sphere of influence of the Chagatai Khanate!
If the Chagatai Khanate is destroyed, then there will be only two Khanate left in the four major Khanates!
Temujin's judgment was undoubtedly correct. Because the Han Empire Expeditionary Force marched on the difficult Wusun Road, forcibly crossed the Tianshan Mountains, hundreds of thousands of expeditionary forces came, and only 110,000 elite troops were brought. During the march, thousands of soldiers and horses were lost.
"Alimari still has 200,000 cavalry to use! They dare to attack the Khanate of the Kidney, so they will definitely be able to make no return!"
Chagatai University was angry. He did not expect that after repelling his and Temujin's army, the expeditionary forces of the Han Empire would dare to march into the Ili River Valley and attack his Khanate.
The Han Empire's expeditionary army was obviously underestimating the Chagatai.
"Recalling your cavalry. Mongko and Ogedei are enough to deal with the Seljuk Empire."
Temujin asked Chagatai to recall 30,000 cavalrymen from Timur who attacked the Seljuk Empire.
"yes."
Chagatai knew that Timur was not an ordinary hero, and his 30,000 cavalry could play a huge role in dealing with the Han Empire Expeditionary Force.
However, Timur had already invaded the Syl River Basin of the Seljuk Empire, and Chagatai did not know whether Timur could return to the army in time.
According to the news of Tan Ma Chi's return, the Han Empire's expeditionary force quickly marched towards Alimari after crossing the Tianshan Mountains.
The tactical intentions of the Han Empire Expeditionary Force were very obvious - to take Alimari directly!
If Alimari is occupied by the Han army, then the public security of the Chagatai Khanate will decline significantly, and rebellion will occur in various tribes, which will be basically difficult to rule and will be destroyed in name only.
The Yili River Valley will also be recovered by the Western Regions Protectorate!
A Mongolian military general with a bow and arrow came from Mobei to pay homage to Temujin: "Khan, don't obey your orders, come here from Mobei to serve you."
"Zhebei, the Han army should not dare to attack Mobei in the cold winter at the risk of being wiped out. You can feel at ease to deal with the Han army in the Yili River Valley. This time your goal is to shoot Chu Zimou, the first prince of the Han Empire."
Temujin had murderous intent in his eyes.
The most powerful princes of the Han Empire suffered a lot of losses in the battles between Cheshi Kingdom and Luntai Kingdom.
Temujin found that his legion might be difficult to defeat Chu Tian's legion. If he could let the magic arrow shoot and shoot Chu Tian, the next battle would be extremely easy.
Even if his army attacked the frontiers and Central Plains of the Han Empire in the future, his army could be as powerful as a bamboo shoot.
Tzebe knew his goal, his eyes stern: "I will try my best."
Temujin and the Chagatai coalition forces once again gathered forces in Alimari to prepare to annihilate the Han army that went deep into the Chagatai Khanate.
After the Han army entered the Yili River Valley, it quickly expanded its territory.
The Ili River Valley was originally the territory of the Wusun Kingdom. Later, Huo'an defeated the Wusun Kingdom and ruled the place for a short time. Therefore, some Wusun tribes heard that Huo'an had arrived, and betrayed the Chagatai Khanate and were loyal to Huo'an.
Huoan was also very helpless about these Wusun tribes.
The Wusun Kingdom was composed of various Wusun tribes. These tribes chose to surrender to Chagatai due to the forces of Chagatai, in order to ensure that they were all destroyed. They could not be considered completely fence-bearing. Otherwise, if the Han army entered the Ili River Valley, these tribes had been destroyed by Chagatai.
Those who have a big fist will listen to those tribes.
"I need ten thousand Wusun soldiers."
Huoan asked for ten thousand servants from the nobles of Wusun who came to surrender, and all of these nobles of Wusun should follow.
The Han Empire originally had 110,000 expeditionary troops, and forced 20,000 servants. Huo'an asked for another 10,000 servants, which made the troops reach a considerable 140,000!
The Han army once again captured a city, less than five hundred miles away from Alimali!
“Um…”
Xia Tianliang curled up with his delicate body and lay in Chu Tian's arms. When he woke up, his clothes were soaked in sweat.
Chu Tian also woke up, and the two looked at each other, while Xia Tianliang blinked and seemed to have improved a lot.
Chu Tian couldn't help but be surprised, and asked someone to prepare ginger soup and find the genius doctor Hua Tuo.
"Congratulations to the lord, Miss Xia's high fever has basically subsided, so there should be no danger."
The miraculous doctor Hua Tuo watched and asked questions and quickly judged that Xia Tianliang's condition had improved and he actually survived.
"Reward the entire army."
Chu Tian’s mentality has recovered, so he simply rewarded the entire army, and at the same time restored the entire army’s physical strength and morale, and prepared to fight again with Temujin and Chagatai in the Ili River Valley!
After the genius doctor Hua Tuo left, Chu Tian personally took care of Xia Tianliang, who had just recovered from a serious illness.
"I thought you couldn't hold on. Next time, you don't have to participate in the forced marching anymore, just use the teleportation array to march."
Chu Tian found that his eldest wife had the weakest physique, and it seemed that she was only suitable for using teleportation array to march and fight.
Mulan has experienced many battles, crossing mountains and ridges, and is still full of energy.
"Am I useless..."
"If you are useless, then how many generals will feel ashamed?"
Chu Tian didn't think so. After all, Xia Tianliang used ambush to kill Zhao Long in the battle with Zhao Long, and later fought in Luntai Kingdom, seriously injured Temujin with Shenji Camp.
There are not many generals who dare to say that they can achieve such military achievements.
No matter what, Xia Tianliang's condition improved, and the Shenji Camp had a commander again when he dealt with Temujin and Chagatai coalition for the second time.
Mulan heard that the coldness in summer was cured and she was a little surprised. She personally went to Huo Qing to take care of the coolness in summer.
Xia Tianliang seemed to notice something about Huo Qing's initiative to show his kindness to him, but he did not say it out loud.
With Mulan and Huo Qing taking care of Xia Tianliang, Chu Tian focused on attacking Alimali.
"Take the catapult, we need a catapult to capture Alimari. Now Liu Ye, Zu Chongzhi and others can come in handy. Alimari must be occupied as soon as possible, otherwise Temujin will summon the troops of the other two Khanate countries, and the forces of the other two Khanate will be of great trouble."
Chu Tian pointed directly at Alimali on the map.
In two days, the Han army recruited the minion army and advanced more than 100 miles, less than 400 miles from Alimali!
A war sweeping across the Ili River Valley was brewing, and the nobles of the Wusun Kingdom began to take sides.
Most of the nobles of the Wusun Kingdom chose to stand on the side of the Wusun King Temujin. Temujin could obtain about 80,000 Wusun Kingdom cavalry, and a small number of the nobles stood on the side of the Western Regions Huo'an, approached the Han Empire, and decided to overthrow the old king. The Han Empire Expeditionary Force won 40,000 Wusun Kingdom cavalry, and its strength expanded to 150,000.
Temujin and Zheber had about 100,000 Mongolian cavalry, tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry in Chagatai, tens of thousands of Central Asian servants, and together with the cavalry of King Wusun, they organized more than 300,000 troops again.
The Ili River Valley is the hinterland of the Chagatai Khanate after all, so the Chagatai Khanate can organize a large number of troops.
This is the premise that Chagatai lost some of its troops in the Luntai War, otherwise Chagatai could have more cavalry.
...
The Seljuk Empire, the royal city on the banks of the Syl River, the Mongolian cavalry were at the city, the Khwarezm cavalry in Ogedei, the Persian cavalry of Mongge, and the Mongolian cavalry of Timur, surrounded the Seljuk royal city.
Xiangyang cannons and siege towers rose from the ground, preparing to capture the last city of the Seljuk Empire.
The offensive of Temujin's organization was extremely powerful. In less than a month or two, three troops drove straight into the city and attacked the Seljuk Empire.
The Seljuk Sultan was defeated in the Chagatai Khanate twice in a row. Once he met the Chagatai Khan who possessed Yelu Dashi, and once he met the Chagatai Khan who possessed Timur.
Both Yelu Dashi and Timur were heroes, which frustrated the elderly Sultan soldiers.
"Chagatai Khan ordered me to return to Chagatai. The Han Empire's expeditionary force crossed the Tianshan Mountains and attacked the Yili River Valley."
Timur said goodbye to Ogedei and Mengge, and led 30,000 cavalry from the Chagatai Khanate, and returned to the Chagatai Khanate day and night.
Timur once fought with the Han army during the Luntai War. Timur, whose attributes had not reached its peak, was a little difficult. At this time, he learned that the Han army had invaded the Chagatai Khanate and knew that if he did not return as soon as possible, the Han army might destroy the Chagatai Khanate.
"This person is unusual."
After receiving the assistance of Yelu Dashi, Ogedei discovered the ten thousand households around Chagatai.
Mengge looked at Timur who was leaving, his eyes were deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Mongge, you and me are the only ones who attack this city. The Khan asked us to break through this city within a month, capture its sultans, and then support Alimari. Alimari can hold it for at least three months."
Ogedei looked at his nephew and always thought that Mengge was not a simple person either.
In other words, Tuo Lei’s sons are not fuel-efficient.
Ogedei's son is much worse than Tolei's son.
"In one month, the Seljuk Empire will surely be eliminated and the Seljuk people will become our servants."
Mongge looked at the royal city of the Seljuk Empire.
After defeating the young Timur, the old Sultan saved the main force and returned to the royal city, but the royal city was besieged by the army of Ogedei, Mengge and Timur. He was furious and was lying on the bed.
"The Mongols recruited Khwarezm and Persian cavalry to build large catapults and siege towers. I heard that the general who was good at siege also came. I am afraid that our royal city will not be able to defend even for a month..."
The young royal nobleman, Alp, knelt in front of the old sultan's bed and told his judgment to the old sultan.
The old sultan coughed violently: "We met an unprecedented opponent, they are like demons. If the royal city falls, then you take my will and escape from the royal city and wait for an opportunity to rebuild the empire, and you will be the next sultan."
Alp couldn't believe it: "Me?"
