Chapter 614: Ili River Valley
In the Chagatai Khanate, all the cities were in a panic and guarded behind closed doors.
The Expeditionary Force of the Han Empire is rapidly marching towards Al Mali, the royal city of the Chagatai Khanate, breaking through a city on the way to obtain supplies!
Chutian used the characteristics of "Tian Khan" and Huo An to use the characteristics of "Western Region Protector" to forcibly recruit servants to expand the scale of the Han Empire's expeditionary force!
After crossing the Tianshan Mountains and reaching the Ili River Valley, it is not so difficult to supply, and the scale of the expeditionary force can be expanded.
"Chagatai, Boershu, Zhelemi, Kubilai, and Kelasu, you follow me to attack this Han army. They came across the Tianshan Mountains, and there must not be many soldiers."
Temujin, who was temporarily living in Alimari, had to raise troops to fight because the Han army invaded the sphere of influence of the Chagatai Khanate!
If the Chagatai Khanate is destroyed, then there will only be two Khanates left in the Four Great Khanates!
Temujin's judgment was undoubtedly correct. Because the expeditionary force of the Han Empire was marching on the difficult Wusun Road, they forcibly crossed the Tianshan Mountains. Of the hundreds of thousands of expeditionary troops, only 110,000 elites came. During the march, they lost thousands of soldiers and horses.
"Alimari still has 200,000 cavalry at his disposal! If they dare to attack Haier's Khanate, they will never return!"
Chagatai was very angry. He did not expect that the expeditionary force of the Han Empire would dare to enter the Ili River Valley and attack his khanate after repelling him and Temujin's army.
The expeditionary force of the Han Empire obviously underestimated Chagatai.
"Recall your cavalry. Meng Ge and Ogedei are enough to deal with the Seljuk Empire."
Temujin asked Chagatai to recall Timur's 30,000 cavalry 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 expeditionary force of the Han Empire.
However, Timur had already invaded the Syr Darya River Basin of the Seljuk Empire, and Chagatai did not know whether Timur could return to his division in time.
According to the news reported by Tan Machi, the expeditionary force of the Han Empire quickly marched towards Ali Mali after crossing the Tianshan Mountains.
The tactical intention of the expeditionary force of the Han Empire is very obvious-go straight to Ali Mali!
If Alimari is occupied by the Han army, the security and popular support of the Chagatai Khanate will drop significantly, and various tribes will rebel, making it basically difficult to rule and exist in name only.
The Yili River Valley will also be recovered by the Protectorate of the Western Regions!
A Mongolian general carrying a bow and arrow came from Mobei to meet Temujin: "Great Khan, Jebe obeyed your order and came here from Mobei to serve you."
"Zhebie, the Han army should not dare to risk the entire army to attack Mobei in the cold winter. You can rest assured to deal with the Han army in the Yili Valley. This time your goal is to shoot and kill the number one prince of the Han Empire——Chu Zi seek."
There was murderous look in Temujin's eyes.
The most powerful vassal of the Han Empire caused him a lot of losses in the battle between the Cheshi Kingdom and the Luntai Kingdom.
Temujin found that it might be difficult for his army to defeat Chutian's army. If Jebe, the divine arrow, could kill Chutian, then the next battle would be extremely easy.
Even, in the future to attack the frontier fortresses and the Central Plains of the Han Empire, his army can be like a broken bamboo.
Jebe learned of his purpose,
His eyes froze: "I will try my best in the end."
The coalition forces of Temujin and Chagatai once again assembled their forces in Ali Mari, preparing to annihilate the Han army that had penetrated into the Chagatai Khanate.
After the Han army entered the Ili River Valley, it quickly expanded its territory.
The Yili 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 betrayed the Chagatai Khanate and pledged their allegiance to Huo An when they heard of Huo An's arrival.
Huo An was also very helpless towards these Wusun tribes.
The Wusun Kingdom is composed of various Wusun tribes. These tribes chose to surrender to Chagatai due to Chagatai's military strength, and they also wanted to protect the entire tribe. They cannot be completely regarded as fools. Otherwise, the Han army entered the Ili River Valley, and these tribes had been wiped out by Chagatai.
These tribes will listen to whoever has the biggest fist.
"I need 10,000 Wusun soldiers."
Huo An asked for 10,000 servants from the Wusun nobles who came to join him, and these Wusun nobles would obey.
The Han Empire originally had an expeditionary army of 110,000, and forced to recruit 20,000 servants. Huo An asked for another 10,000 servants, bringing the force to a considerable 140,000!
The Han army broke through a city again, less than five hundred miles away from Alimali!
"Well……"
Xia Liang curled up her tender body and lay in Chu Tian's arms. When she woke up, her clothes were already soaked in sweat.
Chu Tian also woke up, and the two of them looked at each other, while Xia Liang blinked his eyes, and his spirit seemed to have improved a lot.
Chu Tian couldn't help being a little surprised, he made people prepare ginger soup, and called in the genius doctor Hua Tuo.
"Congratulations, my lord, Miss Xia's high fever has basically subsided, so there should be no danger."
The genius doctor Hua Tuo heard and asked everything, and soon judged that Xia Liang's condition had improved, and he narrowly escaped death.
"Reward the whole army."
Chutian's mentality recovered, he simply rewarded the whole army, and at the same time restored the physical strength and morale of the whole army, preparing for another decisive battle with Temujin and Chagatai in the Ili Valley!
After the genius doctor Hua Tuo left, Chu Tian personally took care of Xia Liang who had just recovered from a serious illness.
"I thought you couldn't make it through. Next time, you don't need to participate in the forced march, just use the teleportation array to march."
Chu Tian found that the eldest wife's physique was the weakest. It seemed that she was only suitable for marching and fighting with the teleportation array.
Hua Mulan has gone through many battles and climbed mountains and mountains, but she is still full of energy.
"Am I very useless..."
"If you are useless, how many generals will feel ashamed?"
Chu Tian didn't think so. After all, in the battle with Zhao Long, Xia Liang killed Zhao Long with an ambush, and later in the battle of Luntai Kingdom, he severely injured Temujin with the Shenji Battalion.
There are not many generals who dare to say that they can achieve such military exploits.
No matter what, Xia Liang's condition improved, and the Shenji Battalion had a leader again when they dealt with Temujin and Chagatai's coalition forces for the second time.
When Hua Mulan heard that Xia Liang recovered from her illness, she was a little pleasantly surprised, and personally took care of Xia Liang with Huo Qing.
Xia Liang seemed to have noticed something about Huo Qing's initiative to show his favor to him, but he didn't say anything.
With Hua Mulan and Huo Qing taking care of Xia Liang, Chu Tian focused on attacking Ali Mali again.
"The trebuchet, we need the trebuchet to capture Almari, and now Liu Ye, Zu Chongzhi and others can come in handy. We must occupy Alimari as soon as possible, otherwise Temujin will summon the troops of Mobei and the other two Khanates, Then something bad happens.”
On the map, Chutian pointed directly at Ali Mali.
In two days, the Han army advanced more than a hundred miles while recruiting servants, and it was less than four hundred miles away from Alimari!
A great battle was brewing across the Yili River Valley, and the nobles of Wusun Kingdom began to stand in line.
Most of the Wusun nobles chose to side with Temujin Wusun King. Temujin could get about 80,000 Wusun cavalry, while a small number of nobles stood on the side of Huo An, the governor of the Western Regions, and were close to the Han Empire. Deciding to overthrow the old king, the expeditionary force of the Han Empire acquired 40,000 Wusun cavalry, and its strength expanded to 150,000.
Temujin and Jebe had more than 100,000 Mongolian cavalry, Chagatai had tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry, and tens of thousands of Central Asian servants. Together with the cavalry of King Wusun, they organized an army of more than 300,000.
After all, the Ili River Valley is the hinterland of the Chagatai Khanate, so the Chagatai Khanate can organize a large number of troops.
This is based on the premise that Chagatai lost some soldiers and horses in the Luntai War, otherwise Chagatai could have more cavalry.
...
In the Seljuk Empire, the royal city on the banks of the Syr Darya River, the Mongolian cavalry approached the city, and the Khwarazm cavalry of Wokuotai, the Persian cavalry of Meng Ge, and the Mongolian cavalry of Timur surrounded the royal city of Seljuk heavily.
Xiangyang guns and siege towers rose from the ground, ready to capture the last city of the Seljuk Empire.
The offensive organized by Temujin was extremely powerful. In less than a month or two, the three armies marched straight in, attacking all the way to the royal city of the Seljuk Empire.
The Seljuk Sultan was defeated by the Chagatai Khanate twice in a row, once he met Chagatai Khan who owned Yelu Dashi, and once he met Chagatai Khan who owned Timur.
Both Yelu Dashi and Timur are heroes, which frustrated the elderly Sudanese soldiers.
"Chagatai Khan ordered me to return to Chagatai, and the expeditionary force of the Han Empire crossed the Tianshan Mountains and entered the Ili River Valley."
Timur bid farewell to Wo Kuotai and Meng Ge, and led 30,000 cavalry from the Chagatai Khanate to return to the Chagatai Khanate day and night.
Timur once fought the Han army in the Luntai War, and Timur, whose attributes had not yet reached its peak, was a little struggling. At this time, he learned that the Han army had invaded the Chagatai Khanate, and knew that if he did not return to the division as soon as possible, then the Han army would be defeated. It is possible to destroy the Chagatai Khanate.
"This person is unusual."
After getting help from Yelu Dashi, Wo Kuotai discovered Wanhu next to Chagatai.
Meng Ge looked at Timur who was leaving, his eyes were deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Brother Meng, it's just you and me attacking this city. The Great Khan asked us to break through this city within a month, capture its sultan, and then support Ali Mari. Ali Mari can hold for at least three months."
Wo Kuotai looked at his nephew, and always thought that Meng Ge was not a simple character.
In other words, Tuo Lei's sons are not fuel-efficient lamps.
Wo Kuotai's son is much worse than Tuo Lei's son.
"Within one month, the Seljuk Empire will definitely be wiped out and the Seljuk people will become our servants."
Meng Ge looked at the royal city of the Seljuk Empire.
In the royal city of Seljuk, after the old sultan lost to the young Timur, although he kept his main force and returned to the royal city, the royal city was besieged by the army of Wo Kuotai, Meng Ge, and Timur.
"The Mongols recruited Khwarazm and Persian cavalry to make large catapults and siege towers. I heard that the general who is good at siege has also come. I am afraid that our royal city will not be able to hold it for even a month..."
The young royal aristocrat, Arp, knelt before the old sultan's bed and spoke his judgment to the old sultan.
The old sultan coughed violently: "We have encountered unprecedented opponents, they are like demons. If the king's city falls, then you will take my will and escape from the king's city, wait for the opportunity to rebuild the empire, and you will be the next sultan."
Arp couldn't believe it: "Me?"
"We Seljuks are not so easily defeated. You can use the power of other civilizations to avenge me."
...
On the battlefield between the Persian Empire and the Ilkhanate, 200,000 Persian troops besieged the large city of the Ilkhanate, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides.
After Tuo Lei slaughtered three cities, the Persian Empire and the Ilkhanate were dead.
The Persian lord Ardashir watched his national war points continue to rise, but his heart was bleeding.
These points were bought with the lives of the Persian army.
"Let Tuo Lei lead the cavalry out of the city to fight with me!"
Ardashir couldn't wait, and wanted to use the Holy Meteor Cavalry to destroy the Mongolian cavalry.
But this time, Tuo Lei adopted the tactics of sticking to it, which caused the 200,000 Persian army to be delayed by the strong city, and the decisive battle was impossible. The advancing speed of the Persian army was slow.
Tuo Lei stood firm, while his son Xu Liegu assembled cavalry in another city, preparing to rush the 200,000 Persian army.
The battlefield in Central Asia was in chaos, with more than one million troops at war, sweeping all civilizations into it.
Dawan Kingdom, this place is still nominally under the control of the Protectorate of the Western Regions.
When the Protectorate of the Western Regions was attacked by Temujin, Chagatai, and Okuotai, the nobles of the Dawan Kingdom abolished the King of Dawan supported by Huo An and established a new king, who broke away from the rule of the Protectorate of the Western Regions .
Dawan Kingdom belonged to the real Central Asian civilization, and did not belong to the Eastern Han Dynasty. It was far away from the Protectorate of the Western Regions, and their friendship was relatively shallow. Therefore, Dawan Kingdom was prone to rebellion.
When the nobles and players of the Dawan Kingdom celebrated this, the Guishuang Empire, which had been silent all this time, suddenly sent a large army to invade the territory of the Dawan Kingdom!
The new Dawan king and player hurriedly led the army to fight.
However, under the offensive of the Guishuang Empire's army, the Dawan army was defeated and suffered a crushing defeat!
The army of the Guishuang Empire took advantage of the situation to capture the capital of Dawan and control it.
The Guishuang Empire became the only one among the three major empires/kingdoms in Central Asia that benefited from this national war.
Khwarazmo was destroyed and became the territory of Wokuotai.
There is only one royal city left in the Seljuk Empire, and it is not far from subjugation.
The Guishuang Empire established by the Yuezhi people quietly annexed the Dawan Kingdom.
The Dawan horses of the Dawan Kingdom, as well as the grain they produce, are important resources for the Guishuang Empire.
The emperor of the Guishuang Empire walked into the palace of Dawan Kingdom. The king of Dawan and many nobles were all trembling.
Not long ago, they were conquered by the Protectorate of the Western Regions, and now they are conquered by the Guishuang Empire.
