Chapter 567: Joan's backhand

At Yumen Pass, the Han army swept the battlefield, cleaned up the broken walls, and built the city wall.

Chu Tian counted the legions that went to the Western Region Luntai City.

The main force in this expedition was the Guards Corps, which only dispatched about 150,000 people. In addition, there were 80,000 offensive regiments coming from Jizhou, and 50,000 Iron Wall Corps assisting in the defense in Jiuquan County.

The spine-cuttering legion was severely injured by the Mongolian army, Zhang Yun was injured, the Euphorbia and Xianden killed more than half of the casualties, temporarily rested at Yumenguan, waiting for the rear to replenish troops and horses, and at the same time as the second batch of expeditionary troops to support Luntai-if the first batch The expeditionary force is unfavorable in combat, and the second group of expeditionary forces will enter the Western Regions and fight decisively with the remnants of the Mongol Empire.

This is also the advantage of the Han Empire.

The Han Empire had a huge population. As long as they did not hesitate to pay, reinforcements could continuously leave Yumen Pass to the Western Regions.

There is no doubt about Feng Yi's ability.

...

Feng Yi was originally talking about Tang's military commander. After Chu Tian's lobbying (brainwashing), and this time the Han Empire was facing an unprecedented crisis, Feng Yi was willing to command the troops and fight to protect the Han Empire.

Feng Yi was one of the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai in the Eastern Han Dynasty, so he was easily loyal to Chutian due to the influence of the "Han Wu" characteristics. At the same time, Feng Yi was also willing to keep the Han Empire important to him.

In general, Feng Yi's abilities are more comprehensive, advancing, retreating and defensive, and there is not much to be rejected.

Liu Fengyi defended Yumen Pass, and as the second group of legions to support the Western Regions, Chu Tian was relatively relieved.

"You don't leave Mulan or Joan at home, in case, I mean in case, no one will be able to take care of Wuer and Xuaner in the future..."

Before Xia Liang was sent to Yumen Pass, he still couldn't worry about his children.

"Isn't there Roufu watching at home?"

"She lacks means, Wu'er and Xuan'er will follow her, I'm afraid it's not going to be on the street..."

Xia Liang rolled his eyes.

With Roufu Diji's ability, I am afraid it would be very difficult to make a living by herself, let alone take care of two children.

"Even if it is Mulan or Jeanne, they have no other ability except marching and fighting. There is no need to think about it too much. We will definitely return to Xiacheng safely..."

Chu Tian calmed Xia Liang's emotions a little bit.

This expedition to the Western Regions may be the furthest expedition to date. Temujin's generals gathered in the area, and a battle may break out at any time, even Chutian may be killed.

During the Yumen Pass battle, Huangfusong and Zhang Ji were killed in battle, and countless military generals were injured.

The battle of the Western Regions was extremely dangerous.

Chu Tian and Xia Liang walked side by side outside Yumen Pass. Not far away, the Mongolian trebuchet was burned down, and there was still a small amount of black smoke.

Hua Mulan and Joan of Arc followed. This was the treatment of the palace. Although the two of them were a little envious, they were both supported by Xia Liang at the beginning. They only entered the Lord's Mansion and did not dare to expect too much.

"Old Qin's Guan Zhongjun is here!"

There was a commotion among the guards at Yumen Pass, and after he severely injured Li Yuanhao, the king of Xixia, Old Qin came to Yumen Pass himself!

Perhaps Lao Qin also realized Tie Muzhen's strategic intentions, so he had to speed up the suppression of Xixia Kingdom and personally led his troops to Yumen Pass.

"Yumen Pass is so...dilapidated."

It was the first time that Lao Qin saw the Yumen Pass after the war, and was shocked by the misery of Yumen Pass.

His reaction was almost exactly the same as when Chu Tian arrived.

Tens of thousands of soldiers of the Han army, the soul is broken at Yumen Pass.

The plotter Jia Xu beside Lao Qin wore black clothes, and saw that Yumen Pass was dilapidated, and he was not moved by it.

"Old Qin."

Xu Fengnian really didn't want to see this enemy.

But this time the parties joined forces to sweep the Western Regions, and they had to temporarily put aside their past grievances.

Xu Fengnian had realized that Old Qin had deliberately left him in Dunhuang and Jiuquan to guard against the Mongol Empire.

He was used once by Old Qin.

"I will present to the court and canonize all the soldiers who died in battle."

Old Qin was indifferent to Xu Fengnian's resentment.

Behind Lao Qin, Lu Bu and Yang Dayan followed.

Both of them were peerless warriors. Among them, there was still a little coagulated blood in Lu Bu's armor. Obviously, he was immediately transferred to Yumen Pass after a battle.

"Where is Chu Zimou? The Mongolian army that besieged Yumen Pass has withdrawn. Presumably Chu Zimou has already arrived, right?"

Based on the status of the guards at Yumen Pass, Old Qin quickly realized that Chu Tian had come to Yumen Pass in advance.

Xu Fengnian said: "He and his women are walking outside Yumen Pass..."

"The young boy is really enviable."

Old Qin seemed to think of something, just shook his head.

Xu Fengnian and Lao Qin had no opinion on Chu Tian bringing his wives to the Western Regions, nor did they think that Chu Tian was here for fun.

Chutian's several women are more capable than the other, and if they offend them, they will die miserably.

Zhao Long is an example.

"How many soldiers and horses did you bring?"

"One hundred thousand, plus Zhu Jun's fifty thousand, a total of 150,000. There are some soldiers and horses besieging Yinzhou, the king city of Xixia Kingdom, and Li Yuanhao only has one city left. Some of my soldiers and horses need to defend the Hexi Corridor, even I still have to leave some troops to guard against Xiqiang in Liangzhou. Zhang Dao in Hanzhong, I don’t trust much..."

Old Qin said his plan.

"West Qiang is not a climate, why bother?"

"Mingguan in Liaodong, despising the Fuyu country, the result was that the famous general Lu Xiangsheng and the Tianxiong army were wiped out. I can't repeat the same mistakes."

Old Qin seems to be worried about Xi Qiang.

Xiqiang also established a powerful kingdom.

"You are still the same, taking everything into consideration."

Xu Fengnian was not very willing to play against Lao Qin. Lao Qin was the oldest among many princes. He was sleek and did not leak water. It was quite uncomfortable to be an enemy of such a person.

However, if Lao Qin is an ally, sometimes he is quite reliable.

Chu Tian came back from outside the pass and met Old Qin Ge, and the two joined forces again.

Lao Qin personally set off while hoarding heavy troops in Wuwei County to prevent Temujin from cutting off the Hexi Corridor again.

"Wang Jian is the main general, Meng Tian is the lieutenant, Qin Ruishi and the Golden Fire Cavalry are the main forces. Zhu Jun is commanding the army alone."

Old Qin pointed out his general and lieutenant.

He sent Wang Jian and Meng Tian to show that he would not fish in troubled waters.

Lao Qin divided his troops into Helan Mountain, Hexi Corridor, Xiqiang Tribe, and Guanzhong. His considerations were actually quite comprehensive.

The Qiang tribe in Liangzhou is a threat. The Xixia King City in Helan Mountain needs time to be besieged. The Hexi Corridor must be prevented from being cut off by Tiemuzhen, and Guanzhong also needs soldiers to control the emperor and guard against sneak attacks by the Hanzhong leaders.

Lao Qin noticed Sun Bin and Tian Ji behind Chu Tian, ​​and Tian Ji was a little embarrassed.

After all, Tian Ji had taken refuge in Lao Qin before, but he was abducted by Sun Bin...

Tian Ji is likely to be buried in the talented Chutian camp, while in Lao Qin's camp, Lao Qin has fewer generals, and his status will be relatively higher. However, Tian Ji seems to prefer to be a low-key general.

Or, Tian Ji lacked his own opinion and was abducted by good friend Sun Bin.

Lao Qin could only express his dissatisfaction, and could no longer change the fact that Tian Ji turned to Chutian.

Chu Tian joined forces with Old Qin and Xu Fengnian to support Huo An. First of all, Dunhuang County must be recovered and the passage to the Western Regions opened.

Sun Bin said to Chu Tian: "If Tiemuzhen uses the Dunhuang County teleportation array to go to the Western Regions, it can be proved that Tiemuzhen intends to lead us to the Western Regions. Otherwise, Tiemuzhen is eager to attack the wheel and will definitely defend himself in Dunhuang."

The Han army hoarded enough food and grass in the Yumen Pass area, and the cavalry who had gone to investigate in Dunhuang County returned.

"The Mongolian army has withdrawn from Dunhuang!"

"as predicted."

Temujin gave up the Hexi Corridor, his intention was already obvious.

"Emergency report, Jiuquan County's teleportation array to Luntai City, the capital of the Western Regions, has failed!"

Chu Tian, ​​Lao Qin, and Xu Fengnian planned to send troops to the Western Regions, but Luntai City lost the news.

There are only two possibilities. First, Luntai City was captured by the Mongolian army; second, Luntai City was besieged, and the communication system between the teleportation array and the players failed.

Regardless of the possibility, it was not a good thing in the eyes of Chu Tian, ​​a group of princes who were planning to go to rescue the Western Regions Protectorate.

The failure of the teleportation array in Luntai City meant that the expeditionary forces of the Han Empire had to cross the Gobi, deserts, and oasis for an expedition.

Chu Tian, ​​Lao Qin and others could not accept the cost of the expedition.

Before Temujin retreated from Dunhuang County, he had determined that Luntai City was under siege, and then left calmly.

Luntai City was besieged, the Han Empire Expeditionary Force could not be directly transmitted to Luntai, and the supply line of the Han Empire's army was stretched.

"Huo An has been operating Luntai for many years, and he should not easily let Luntai fall. Most of them are besieged by Mongolian cavalry."

"In addition to Luntai, which large-scale city teleportation array in the Western Regions is open?"

"Get in touch quickly!"

Chu Tian instructed some strangers in charge of intelligence to try to find out the teleportation array that could be used.

Unless there is a teleportation array, the cost of the expedition is too great.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Li Guangli to expedition to Dawan with tens of thousands of people, which cost a lot of money. This time the Han Empire sent hundreds of thousands of reinforcements, and the logistical pressure increased tenfold!

There are not many large cities in the Western Regions. Once the large cities are all besieged or captured by Mongolian cavalry, it will be difficult to recapture the Western Regions.

"I hope there are still large cities in the Western Regions under the control of Huo An's forces."

Old Qin also knew the importance of it.

The location and topography that restricted the Han Empire from exerting its national strength were the main reason why Temujin chose to compete in the Western Regions.

Soon, someone inquired about the teleportation formation in the Western Regions.

"All the large cities in the Western Regions have been surrounded or captured by Mongolian cavalry, each teleportation array has failed, and the Western Regions have completely lost contact!"

Unfavorable news came, moving all the princes of the Han Empire and the Han army.

Temujin of the Mongol Empire had made perfect preparations and forced the expeditionary forces of the Han Empire to set off from Dunhuang to rescue the Western Regions on foot.

Without relying on the teleportation array, marching on foot is extremely expensive.

In the vast desert and Gobi, the Han army may encounter a surprise attack by the Mongolian cavalry at any time!

"No, there is still a medium-sized city that has not fallen!"

"What's the use of a medium-sized city..."

"This medium-sized city can be upgraded to a large city at any time, but Huo An has never upgraded this city!"

"Huo An has left behind!?"

Chu Tian, ​​Lao Qin and Xu Fengnian, who were originally disappointed, were all shocked.

Huo An kept a medium-sized city without a teleportation array, but could be upgraded to a large city at any time. He deceived Temujin and opened a channel for the Han army to expedition to the Western Regions!

"Huo An controls the countries of the Western Regions, of which Cheshi Kingdom is located in the Turpan Basin and guards key points, Nantong Loulan and Shanshan, Xitong Yanqi and Luntai, and northwest through Wusun."

"Because the position of the Cheshi Nation is too important, Huo An dispatched his confidant to rule the Cheshi Nation. Upgrade the Cheshi King City to a large city and start the teleportation array. Even if the wheel platform is besieged, as long as there is no enemy near the Cheshi King City , You can send it to the country of Che Shi!"

Chu Tian could not help but breathe a sigh of relief when he learned that King City of Cheshi in the Western Regions could immediately open a large city.

A chess piece left by Huo An has had a vital impact on reversing the situation in the Western Regions!

"We should advance as soon as possible, otherwise, once the Mongolian cavalry attacked the Cheshi Nation and the soldiers approached the royal city, all the teleportation formations in the Western Regions would be invalidated. The consequences are self-evident."

"exactly!"

Chu Tian, ​​Lao Qin and Xu Fengnian knew that time was not waiting.

Once all the large-scale city teleportation arrays in the Western Regions fail the Han army will march along the Silk Road, through the Gobi and the desert with a large amount of food trucks and water sources, and the consequences will be disastrous.

More than 300,000 Han troops assembled outside Yumen Pass. They will recover Dunhuang County, and then transfer them from Dunhuang County to Cheshi Country in batches, and then set off from Cheshi Country to relieve Luntai City.

Among them, 150,000 guards from Chutian, 150,000 from Old Qin Corps (including Zhu Jun Corps), and 30,000 from Xiliang Corps from Xu Fengnian.

Although Xu Fengnian's military strength is not much, there are a group of brave and skilled generals who are also a rare combat strength.

Countless elites of the Han empire rode and fluttered with flags, marching toward Dunhuang County!

"Huang Sha wears golden armor in all battles, and he won't return it without breaking Loulan."

Chu Tian rode a famous horse Jueying, standing on the hills of the Gobi, overlooking the Han army marching west.

Not full of enthusiasm, replaced by a heavy sense of tragic.

The general died in a hundred battles, and the strong returned ten years ago.
