Chapter 534 Wei Qing and Zhebie(1/2)
"The Jurchens and Western Xia have appeared, but the Huns, Turks, Rouran and other civilizations have not yet discovered traces of these tribes."
Faced with the threat of the rise of barbarians, several major princes shared intelligence. Each prince had his own means to obtain intelligence.
When the Han Empire was facing threats, some important intelligence sharing was very critical.
Chu Tian had learned that the Jurchen civilization appeared in the territory of Mingguan, while the Western Xia civilization appeared in the sphere of influence of the old Qin Dynasty.
If that's all, maybe Chu Tian could still gloat. But this time Chu Tian really couldn't laugh.
The Liaodong Legion in Mingguan and the Guanlong Legion in Qin are extremely combat-effective.
The Liaodong County Regiment and the Guanlong Legion were restrained, so Chu Tian faced the Mongol Empire head-on, which was quite uncomfortable.
Although the four major legions are being expanded and a million troops are being organized, time is still needed to train. Otherwise, the new recruits of level 10 will go to the battlefield and will give away their heads.
Level 10 fifth-level troops may not be better than level 100 second-level troops.
After Chu Tian established the four major legions, he ordered the commanders of each legion and the commanders of the legion under his jurisdiction to train troops day and night, improve the average level of the legion and enhance the combat effectiveness of the legion.
"Chu Zimou, maybe you should come to St. Petersburg."
During the preparations for the war, Ekaterina from the Grand Duchy of Moscow sent a message.
"If you don't go, you won't go even if you beat him to death."
Chu Tian always thought that Caterina was a pervert. Once he went to St. Petersburg, he would be very likely to be imprisoned by Maomei.
Although Caterina may not necessarily harm him, maybe even if Caterina likes this...
"Hmph, I won't go to find you, don't regret it in the future."
Yekaterina ends the conversation.
regret?
Chu Tian doesn't feel anything at the moment, and Katerina has nothing to threaten him.
"Increase the scale of mining of Jiaodong gold mines. I need gold mines, the more the better."
"The scale of trade with Japan has expanded, and Japan's silver mineral output is quite large. It would be great if we could conduct direct trade with the Maori family who ruled Ishimiji Yinshan. Ishimiji Yinshan in Japan should be a nine-level silver mountain, or even a ten-level silver mountain."
Chutian has a huge demand for hard currency such as gold and silver.
In addition, he asked Mi Zhu, who was in Japan to buy a batch of Seed Island iron cannons again to strengthen the Shenji Camp in summer.
With the combshot, Yongle Shenji Camp still lacks the original bronze cannon.
Although the bronze cannon is one of the oldest firearms, it is pitifully less powerful than the later cannons, it is still a killer weapon in the era of cold weapons.
No one civilization has the ability to produce bronze cannons yet.
The bronze cannons made by players cannot be used, and only the bronze cannons produced by corresponding buildings can exert their power.
Chu Tian once wanted to exchange the production drawings of the bronze cannons with the National War points, but the problem was that there was no bronze cannon in the list of exchangeable items.
Bronze cannons can only be used by specific firearms, such as Yongle Shenji Camp (wooden chariot fixed bronze cannon).
If there is a bronze cannon and one shot to kill Temujin, then things will be much easier.
Of course, Chu Tian just thought about it. Even if there are bronze cannons, the lethality of early solid bullets and black gunpowder, the main function is to shock and destroy the city walls. The efficiency of killing enemies is not high.
Mi Zhu, who has been on mission to Japan, has sent information about Japan. There are two changes in Japan at present. First, the trend of unification is more obvious; second, in Hokkaido, Japan, the barbarian tribe, the Ekima tribe, is becoming more and more warlike, but the targets of the Ekima attack are several famous names in the northeast.
Chu Tian has been secretly monitoring the movements of Japan. Judging from the population of Japan, it does not pose much threat to the Han Empire.
In accordance with the military expansion plan, each head general went to Youzhou, Bingzhou and Jizhou to recruit and train troops and preside over defense.
Wei Qing arrived at Longcheng, Monan, and the Youzhou army was temporarily handed over to Cao Cao for management.
The Monan Lord Alliance established its own legion. Under the extreme war mobilization, the cavalry force could reach an astonishing half a million.
The territory of the lords in the south of the desert was actually mainly composed of nomadic tribes, and the mobilization rate of war was not inferior.
But the disadvantage of the Desert Lord Alliance is that they are scattered in the Desert Grassland, and at most they can gather in one place at a time, at least 300,000 to 400,000 cavalry.
Wei Qing temporarily commanded a team of Monan cavalry and helped the lords of Monan to block the Zhebe Legion's heading south.
In Longcheng, in the south of the Mo, 100,000 Mongolian cavalry in the north of the Mo, led by the Mongolian No. 1 Gong Zhebe, the troops arrived at the city.
The princes of the Han Empire liked to build cities very much, even in grasslands like the south of the desert...
The existence of Monan Longcheng has become a bridgehead that makes Temujin a headache.
If the Mongolian Empire wants to bypass Monan Longcheng, it may be raided from the rear by the Monan Legion.
If the Mongol Empire does not detour, it means conquering this solid city.
The princes of the Han Empire could not only build cities, but also defend cities.
The Southern Song Dynasty held on its sturdy for many years under the offensive of the Mongol Empire. In addition to the emergence of a group of famous generals, it was all related to the solid fortress of the Southern Song Dynasty.
At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, it was at the peak of cold weapons, and firearms had just been used in military affairs. The city defense of the Southern Song Dynasty was very strong in the era of cold weapons.
The princes of the Han Empire inherited this craftsman spirit. As long as the city can be built, it must be built with airtightness.
Monan Longcheng blocked the Zhebe Legion.
Wei Qing stood on the city wall and looked at the Mongolian cavalry.
He wanted to come forward to provoke Zhebe, but unfortunately, his Yulin Legion was still recruiting and training in Youzhou and could not fight for the time being.
Currently, Wei Qing controls 100,000 cavalry in the south of the Mo River, mainly low-level cavalry.
The 100,000 cavalry in Monan came from different lords in Monan, with different equipment and levels. Wei Qing took over temporarily, but in fact he was not very comfortable.
Otherwise, Wei Qing might leave the city and directly attack the Zhebie Legion.
"Zhebei defeated Baima Yicong, even Baima General Gongsun Zan is not his opponent, so be careful."
Hu Ma stayed in Longcheng, Monan, reminding Wei Qing.
Chu Tian sent Wei Qing to Longcheng, Monan to resist the Mongolian cavalry of the Zhebe Legion, which made the lords of Monan feel a little relieved.
As one of Temujin's four mastiffs, Tshebe cooperated with Subutai, which is fearful.
In the Dragon City in Monan, only Wei Qing can compete with Zhebe. There is another person who can block Zhebe, that is Li Mu, who has arrived in the Hetao Plain to restrain Mu Huali, one of the four Qiexus.
At present, the two sides have not fully completed their war preparations, but are only carrying out small-scale frictions.
The 200,000 Monan cavalry from the Monan Lord Alliance fought with the Boerhu Army, one of the four Qiexus, to the north of Yinshan Mountain. Because of the brave battle of Monk Wanyan Chen, he suffered a small loss.
The Borhu Army and the Muhuali Army met in the Hetao Plain. Two of the four major Qiexus stationed in Hetao, which shows Temujin's emphasis on Hetao.
Temujin also regarded the Han Empire as a rival who was equally matched and even more powerful. He believed that it might be possible to defeat the Han Empire by joining forces with other nomadic and fishing civilizations.
A Mongolian scout whispered to Zhebe: "A cavalry came from the direction of Yinshan."
"Yinshan? It should be the Han Empire who went to intercept Boerhu's cavalry. They could not stop Boerhu, so they planned to return to Longcheng. You will continue to surround this city under my banner. I personally lead a team of cavalry to intercept on their way back."
Zhebe learned through the scout that a group of Monan lords such as Prince Yan, Liu Hu and others returned to Longcheng, so he personally led 30,000 cavalry to attack the Monan Legion on the way.
Wei Qing saw the mobilization of Mongolian cavalry on the city and calculated the march process of Prince Yan and other princes, with a serious expression: "Prince Yan and others may be defeated."
Wei Qing immediately counted the troops.
Huma said, "I'll go with you."
On the grassland in Monan, Prince Yan, Liu Hu, Gongsun Zan and other princes failed. After resting in Yunzhong County, they returned to Monan Longcheng to increase the troops in Monan Longcheng.
If Li Mu and the Southern Xiongnu of Yanmen County really cannot stop the increase of the troops to the two major Qiexue, and the Bingzhou Army established by Chu Tian can support them at any time.
"We lost tens of thousands of cavalry, and Borhu also suffered a lot. Borhu met with Mu Huali, and Li Mu was facing greater pressure..."
Prince Yan was worried about the loss of troops caused by the failure, but about the consequences.
Li Mu and Zhao She two famous generals of Zhao State need to withstand Mu Huali, Borhu two Qixue, and Wanyan Chen’s loyal army.
As for the Southern Xiongnu, Prince Yan was grateful to them if he did not give him the heads to the Detective Ma Chi and Zhongxiao Army.
"Mongolian cavalry found ahead!"
Just as Prince Yan and others returned to the army, the scouts and cavalry in front of him reported urgently, interrupting Prince Yan's thoughts.
"The whole army, fight!"
After Prince Yan, Gongsun Zan, Liu Hu and other princes had the experience of fighting with Mongolian cavalry, they immediately formed a formation.
About 10,000 Mongolian cavalry appeared on the front, growing a snake formation, forming a mighty attack, interfering with the judgment of the lords of the southern Mobei Legion on the military power.
"How many cavalry are there?!"
"I don't know yet."
Liu Hu's cheeks retained the scars left by Zhongxiaojun, which looked a little ferocious, which made him even more hatred for the enemy in front of him.
Liu Hu is a prince who is more fierce in his work and wants to find the place back at this time.
The cavalry in the south of the Mori fought with the Mongolian cavalry in the north of the Mori, and the archery rain was thrown. The two cavalrymen tightened their bowstrings and arrows fell like rain!
"Prepare for hand-to-hand combat!"
Prince Yan was also stimulated at this time and thought he had to kill him, so he held a spear and planned to fight back against the Mongolian cavalry in the north of Mobei.
There were still more than 100,000 cavalry in the south of the desert, rushing towards the Mongolian cavalry like a tide.
To be continued...
