Chapter 620 Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, Strategic Destroyer(1/2)
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Tiger rocks fell from the air and bombarded the city walls, and Alimari's walls whine.
The Mongolian army, who had always used Xiangyang cannons to attack other civilized cities, also tasted the pain of the catapult.
Although the catapult, known as the "Pili Chariot" by the Han army, is not as powerful as the Xiangyang cannon of the descendants, it still exerts momentum with Liu Ye's bonus!
The city of Alimali was attacked by the Han army, with stone catapults, crossbows, siege towers, ladders, and all the siege equipment that Han army craftsmen could make were manufactured and then used to attack this sturdy royal city!
Chu Tian and others did not have the patience to surround Alimari until the defenders finished their food.
The Ogedei and Mongko army, which are besieging the Seljuk Empire, will come to support sooner or later. It is best to capture Alimari before the arrival of the Ogedei and Mongko coalition forces, or try to destroy Alimari and attack the morale of the defenders.
After the Wusun Kingdom turned to the Han Empire Expeditionary Force that appeared in the Yili River Valley, various Wusun nobles led their tribesmen to join the Han army with food and grass and weapons to strengthen the forces used by the Han army to attack the city.
The Han army even began to dig trenches and build a soil trench outside Alimali City, surrounding Alimali.
In this way, tens of thousands of cavalrymen in Alimari City were unable to attack.
The Han army only left the passage for its own siege, and the catapults kept bombarding the city day and night.
Chagatai, trapped in Alimari by the Han army, experienced the pain of being a defender who was bombarded by catapults day and night.
Although Alimari was strong, she could not withstand the continuous bombardment of the Han army's catapults.
A soldier from the Wusun Kingdom was digging tunnels, trying to shake the foundation of the city wall to make the city wall more likely to collapse.
"Father Khan, if he does not send troops to rescue the siege, once the city is broken..."
Chagatai did not think that the princes of the Han Empire would let them go.
Before, Chagatai and others attacked the Western Regions and destroyed the enemy, but now they have become turtles in the jar, which is not a good feeling.
Outside the city, Chu Tian and others were not only siege the city, but also building camps and fortifications, and preparing to fight against Temujin, Ogedei and Mengge coalition forces.
At present, the Han army has not broken the deadlock, and the Central Asian coalition of Ogedei and Mengge is a huge trouble.
If Ogedei, Mongge and Temujin join forces, the expeditionary force will still be in danger.
Only by conquering Alimali, opening the teleportation array, and obtaining support from the second batch of expeditionary forces can it be considered a real breakthrough. At that time, you can completely occupy the Ili River Valley and destroy the Chagatai Khanate.
"Ogedei and Mengge are the second and fourth Khans of the Mongol Empire, and should have certain monarchical characteristics..."
Chu Tian knew the order of inheritance of the Mongol Empire Khan.
After Temujin, Ogedei took over the position of Khan of the Mongol Empire.
Later, the Tolei faction, which held military power, replaced the descendants of Ogedei and became the Khan of the Mongol Empire.
The fifth Khan of the Mongol Empire, the son of Tolei and the younger brother of Mongke, Kublai Khan, officially established the Yuan Dynasty.
This is the journey from Temujin to the Yuan Dynasty.
Both Ogedei and Mengge both have certain abilities.
Theoretically, Ogedei and Mengge brought huge threats, but the princes of the Han Empire Expeditionary Force were not very worried - Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, and Lu Bu's northern expeditionary forces repelled Subutai. According to the orders of Chu Tian and Huo'an, they advanced rapidly along the North Tianshan Road and gathered towards Alimali City.
The Han Empire's two expedition forces left Luntai, passed Kucha and Wusun Road, crossed Tianshan Mountains, and attacked Yili; they left Cheshi Kingdom, passed through the North Tianshan Road, and bypassed Tianshan Mountains, and made a detour!
Wei Qing and Huo Qubing's original goal was to attack quickly and push them to Altai Mountain.
After Chu Tian, Lao Qin, Huo An and others occupied a city in the Yili River Valley, they used the player system to order Wei Qing and Huo Qubing to rest in a city north of Tianshan to tell Wei Qing and Huo Qubing to change the target of the expedition.
The most important thing to break through Alimari to rescue the Han army crossing the Tianshan Mountains is, followed by sweeping the remnants of Subutai.
Subutai fought with Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, and encountered an avalanche again, and the legion suffered heavy losses.
Temujin sent Mu Huali to meet with Subutai.
All the troops and horses made rapid advance with Alimari as the center.
"The Great Khan, Ogedei Khan, and Mongke have captured the Seljuk Empire. The Sultan of the Seljuk Empire died of poisoning. However, before his death, Sultan of the Turgli La appointed a new sultan. This sultan took advantage of the city's destruction and fled the city. Ogedei Khan, Mongke are chasing him."
Temujin got news from Ogedei and Mengge.
"So it doesn't have to pay too much attention to the fish that misses the net. It's the most anxious to save the Chagatai!"
Temujin urged Ogedei and Mongke's Central Asian coalition to arrive.
His second son, Chagatai, was besieged in the city. The Han army's catapult attack was fierce, obviously in a crazy revenge on the battle of Yumen Pass and Luntai. The city and pass of the Han Empire were bombarded by Xiangyang cannons!
If the city is broken, then Chagatai is likely to be defeated and killed, with the same fate as Tuglile Sultan of the Seljuk Empire.
Temujin was unwilling to see Chagatai defeated, so he could only seek the forces of Ogedei and Mengge.
Temujin urgently mobilized a group of cavalry in the north of the Moon, but the Han army stockpiled a large number of cavalry in the south of the Moon.
Temujin dared not transfer the main force in Mobei here completely, otherwise, the Han army in Monan would have the possibility of raiding Mobei.
If all the countries in the northern desert are captured, then Temujin's power will basically collapse and can only deal with Central Asia.
Central Asia is in the four battles, not exactly a fertile land.
To the east is the Western Regions Protectorate of the Han Empire; to the south, it is low-key and terrifying, silently annexing the Kushan Empire of Dayuan, as well as the giant monster Indian Mughal Empire; to the west, the ancient Persian Empire, the crazy Arab Empire, the Ottoman Empire with many elite legions; to the north, the eagle on the Eastern European grasslands, the Grand Duchy of Moscow could go south at any time.
In the Middle Ages, although East Asia was a monster house, Central Asia was in chaos and many conquerors were born.
"As long as Ogedei and Mengge's cavalry arrive, the siege of Alimari will definitely be lifted."
Temujin completely placed his hope on Ogedei and Mongge's cavalry.
"Immediately, the cavalry of Subutai severely damaged Wei Qing and Huo Qubing on the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, but they were also severely damaged by Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, and suffered an avalanche, causing more losses to his own troops!"
"Mu Huali has joined the remnants of Subutai and found that Wei Qing and Huo Qubing's cavalry were marching quickly towards Alimali. Please be careful when the Khan!"
After receiving the information from the Seljuk Empire, Temujin received the news that Subushi reported!
Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, Lu Bu and Zhao Yun's 110,000 expeditionary forces from Cheshi Kingdom to conquer the small Western countries along the way, and have been breaking through the northern Tianshan Road and are about to enter the Yili River Valley!
Moreover, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing's great detour entered from the west of the Ili River Valley, forming a cross-bone attack on Temujin with the Han Empire Expeditionary Force on the east of the Ili River Valley!
The Yili River Valley is heading east and west, and the location of Temujin is extremely dangerous.
"If this continues, our army will be defeated."
Temujin discovered that Wei Qing and Huo Qubing were advancing too fast and the location was too dangerous.
If Temujin and Chagatai could defeat Chu Tian and wipe out the Han Empire Expeditionary Force in the Ili River Valley, then turn to deal with Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, Wei Qing, and Huo Qubing.
But the problem is that Temujin and Chagatai's attack failed and instead put themselves in danger.
Wei Qing and Huo Qubing's advancement were a little faster than Ogedei and Mengge's progress.
Soldiers are so fast, and just such a small time difference is enough to determine the outcome!
"Are we going to withdraw from the Ili River Valley? In that case, Chagatai will face a situation of mortality..."
Temujin couldn't imagine what fate would be for the abandoned Chagatai if he had withdrawn from the Yili River Valley in advance in order to avoid Wei Qing and Huo Qubing's troops.
There were no reinforcements outside, there were heroes of siege, siege, and Han Empire Expeditionary Forces, which were supported by the Wusun Kingdom. It took less than two months to capture Alimali.
Temujin's withdrawal from the valley was equivalent to giving the other two large cities with teleportation array to the Han army.
The Han army can dispatch reinforcements.
If he did not withdraw from the river valley, Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, and Chu Tian, Qianran Lao Qin, Huo An, Mu Ke, and Xu Fengnian's expeditionary forces were attacked in the river valley, perhaps Temujin would have a great chance of becoming a prisoner of the Han army.
Such a situation simply forces him to make a choice.
Wei Qing and Huo Qubing made Temujin a dilemma with one move.
When he was unable to make a decision, Temujin walked out of the tent and saw Timur patrolling outside the tent.
Timur limped and his temperament was not as good as an ordinary Mongolian cavalry, but Timur was valued by Temujin because Temujin believed that this person was of great value to cultivate.
"Temur, Ben Khan has something to ask you."
Temujin briefly explained that Wei Qing and Huo Qubing were about to attack the Yili River Valley from the other side, and wanted to see the reaction of this young ten thousand household.
After thinking about it, Timur replied to Temujin: "Why didn't the Khan let the Lord Chagatai leave Alimari? Previously, Alimari was a one-step move and could still revive the Great Dragon. Now, because Wei Qing and Huo Qubing are about to come, Alimari has become a place to die, why did Dahan still have to defend the place to die?"
"Dead place..."
Temujin was inspired by Timur's words.
"Tonight, we will attack the Han army, rescue Chagatai and the defenders overnight, and withdraw from the Ili River Valley. As for the lost land, we will regain it from other places!"
Temujin made up his mind!
Temujin immediately summoned all the troops!
The Roman hero Crassus has been monitored by Temujin, and he cannot turn against him like the King of Wusun.
Crassus turned against him and was captured by the princes of the Han Empire. The princes of the Han Empire would definitely not allow him to return to Rome...
"The Khan is going to fight again. However, the Khan has been defeated recently. When will I return to Rome with the eagle flag? Or will I die in the East in the battle..."
Crassus summoned the Roman legion, and had some headaches.
The Roman legion cannot become a vassal of Temujin.
"Temujin often mobilized his troops, so he must be afraid that Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, the two generals, rushed in from the valley entrance and attacked the lord from the east and west, so he planned to rescue Chagatai from Alimali City and then leave the Ili River Valley."
Sun Bin judged Temujin's intention based on clues about Temujin's summoning of the troops.
