Chapter 593: The Opened Teleportation Array (Supplement 9/20)(1/2)
"My Lord Protector, in this battle, the Protectorate's House beheaded thousands and captured tens of thousands. Almost all of these Central Asian cavalry came from the Seljuk Empire and Khwarezm. They were probably the servants captured by the Chagatai Khanate and the Ogedei Khanate during the Battle of the Ili River Valley."
After cleaning up the battlefield, Gao Xianzhi reported losses and spoils to Huoan.
Yelu Dashi brought 20,000 Central Asian cavalry who attacked the Western Regions Protectorate, almost all of them were killed or captured.
Yelu Dashi was not worried about this, because these 20,000 Central Asian cavalry were just ordinary servants for the Mongol Empire and Yelu Dashi.
Yelu Dashi is not qualified to be the core figure of the Mongolian Empire, so the cavalry assigned is not strong in combat. As long as he can save his life, it will be no big deal even if he abandons 20,000 servants.
The captured army of tens of thousands of servants can supplement the losses of the Western Regions Protectorate in this national war catastrophe.
The main force of the Western Region Protectorate was almost disabled in succession of wars, and tens of thousands of minions joined. Huo'an and the generals of the Western Region Protectorate were able to strengthen and control the minions.
"Split the captured Central Asian cavalry into several battalions and distributed them to each general to make up for the losses."
Huoan broke up the cavalry to prevent them from rebelling.
Huo'an looked at the entire battlefield, with broken walls and ruins.
The tragic level of the Luntai City battle is even higher than that of Chu Tian and Temujin.
In order to defend Luntai City, dozens of military generals and tens of thousands of soldiers were killed, almost all of the fortifications were demolished, three strong city walls collapsed, and tens of thousands of civilians were killed.
The cattle, sheep, food, grass and weapons stockpiled in Luntai City were almost exhausted.
The Mongolian army camp outside the city was burned down, rolling black smoke swayed, large trenchers, and the siege tower turned into charcoal in the fire.
The decisive battle on the main battlefield was to decide the outcome at sunset, and the final battle in Luntai City began at night, with Ogedei and Yelu Dashi setting up an ambush with the help of the night and retreating.
Huoan and Xu Fengnian's army won a lot, but they still failed to catch up with Ogedei and Yelu Dashi.
The next day, Chen Tang, Ban Chao and Ma Chao, who were pursuing Ogedei and Yelu Dashi, came back and captured thousands of cavalry.
Huo An asked the two, "Can you capture Ogedei alive and Yelu Dashi?"
Chen Tang and Ban Chao shook his head.
Ma Chao's face was still gloomy, and Wang Yanzhang's hatred could not be relieved.
Xu Fengnian learned that Yelu Dashi had escaped, and his face was not good-looking.
Yelu Dashi followed Ogedei and mostly fled to Kucha, or even the Chagatai Khanate.
If you want to chase Yelu Dashi again, you may have to chase the Chagatai Khanate.
However, hundreds of thousands of expeditionary forces have been extremely laborious from Cheshiguo's expedition to Luntai City.
All teleportation arrays of the Chagatai Khanate were controlled by the Chagatai defenders, and the Han army needed to conduct a long march in the main world.
First of all, the Han army's expeditionary force had to consider the benefits obtained and the price they paid.
If you pay tens of millions of taels of silver to kill Yelu Dashi, then it is obvious that it is irrational.
However, there is one person whose interests are directly linked to the elimination of Yelu Dashi, that is, Huo'an, the protector of the Western Regions.
"The Chagatai Khanate appears within my sphere of influence. The Ili River Valley was originally a territory I captured. When the Western Regions Protectorate restores its troops, I will attack the Chagatai Khanate. If you are willing to join, you can act with me."
Huoan wanted to use Xu Fengnian's power to destroy the Chagatai Khanate.
In the current situation, the forces of the Chagatai Khanate and the Western Regions Protectorate were damaged due to the war, and the two sides were racing against time to recover their troops.
Xu Fengnian had a group of brave and good at fighting. If he had helped, it would be easier to destroy the Chagatai Khanate.
The Chagatai Khanate has always been a huge threat.
If the Chagatai Khanate is not eliminated as soon as possible, the Western Regions Protectorate will face another crisis.
Although Temujin was injured and could not organize such a large-scale offensive against the Western Regions Protectorate just by relying on the Chagatai Khanate, it was ultimately a threat.
"Lord, I want to avenge my master!"
Ma Chao asked Xu Fengnian for his appointment.
"I will participate in the expedition to Chagatai Khanate. After the expulsion of Chagatai Khanate, I will go to Xiacheng to live."
Xu Fengnian seemed to have made a major decision.
Kill Ogedei and Yelu Dashi, and then withdraw from the ranks of princes.
He was no longer qualified and did not want to continue to become a prince of the Han Empire.
"Believe me, we can join forces to destroy the Chagatai Khanate. I promise you that you will definitely take the head of Yelu Dashi."
Huoan ordered the Western Regions Protectorate Legion to clean up the battlefield, bury the bodies of the dead, and rebuild the city.
After the disaster in Luntai City, people's hearts and public security are recovering.
The Mongolian army has completely retreated to the Kucha Kingdom, which is adjacent to the Chagatai Khanate.
Kucha was also a kingdom that surrendered to the Western Regions Protectorate, but when it marched by the Chagatai Khanate, it was conquered by the way.
With the national strength of Kucha, he was no match for the Chagatai Khanate army in the eastern expedition.
After the threat from Luntai City was lifted, the people of the Western Regions Protectorate were cleaning up the old mountains and rivers while waiting for the arrival of the victorious Han Empire Expeditionary Force.
Xu Fengnian led the soldiers of the Xiliang Legion to bury the dead Wang Yanzhang under a hill outside Luntai City.
"The general died in a hundred battles, and Wang Tieqin has not yet had more than a hundred battles. From now on, you can defend Luntai."
Xu Fengnian poured wine, and all the soldiers in Xiliang were silent.
There are only a handful of people who have survived to this day in Xu Fengnian's legion.
The Xiliang Legion may have no successor.
The soldiers recruited by the old Qin in Liangzhou have been incorporated into the Guanlong Legion.
In the eyes of Xu Fengnian and others, their Xiliang Army was the real Xiliang Army.
Huo An was also confused when he saw Xu Fengnian and others sending Wang Tieqi away.
The generals and the lord have deep or shallow friendships in private, just like their own friends who died on the battlefield. This feeling is hard to express.
"Prepare food, water sources, camps, and expeditionary forces are coming soon, and I hope there is enough supplies to replenish. The teleportation array of Luntai City is open and can transport supplies from the Pass, Cheshi Kingdom, and Yanqi Kingdom..."
After Huoan cleared the siege in Luntai City, he was no longer so nervous.
As long as the teleportation array in Luntai City is opened again, with the powerful blood transfusion ability of the Han Empire, the Western Regions Protectorate will soon be revived.
At worst, he would ask Chu Tian for supplies. As for the return, Huo An would have to pay him back. Of course, it would refer to Huo An’s Western Regions Protectorate Palace, not Huo An himself…
"Maybe Qingqing can be used to pay off the debt, no, this is not what a good brother should do..."
Huo An had a little idea of selling his sister for glory, and soon gave up again.
Although allowing the Western Regions Protectorate to marry the largest princes in the pass to consolidate the territory of both sides will be of great benefit to the development of Huo'an's power, Huo'an is a player after all, and his ideas are still very advanced.
...
In the Grand Duchy of Moscow, Ekaterina received a report from her adjutant Sofia, and the teleportation array of Luntai City was actually opened!
"It seems that the Mongol Empire's siege of Luntai City has ended. Has Luntai City been held, or has it been captured?"
"According to the news spread by Luntai City in the Han Empire, Temujin was defeated and the Mongolian army's siege of Luntai City has been lifted."
"I'll greet the Western Regions Protector of the Han Empire in advance, and I'll go to Luntai City in person."
"Duke, are you doing business or private matters?"
"Of course it's...business, about the Golden Horde."
Caterina looked like she didn't care.
"Will you bring the little duke with you?"
“…”
Caterina was silent for a while, "Please bring it with her."
...
Luntai City was cleaning up the battlefield, and the Han Empire Expeditionary Force, which was fighting against Temujin and Chagatai coalition forces, was also cleaning up the battlefield.
This time, there were tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry, Khwarezm cavalry, and Seljuk cavalry captured this time, including a very small number of special cavalry such as the Chiexue army and the Tanmachi.
Bang.
Dian Wei threw a captured general to the ground, like throwing a sandbag, and the guards beside Chu Tian immediately tied him up.
Chu Tian can only see simple information about this person.
【Name】: Wanyan Chen Monk
【Level】: 70
[Evaluation]: A famous general in the late Jin Dynasty, commander of the Zhongxiao Army.
"Monkey Wanyan Chen finally caught this tricky guy."
Chu Tian saw Dian Wei capture Monk Wanyan and Chen, and a threat to the Han Empire was lifted.
Monk Wanyan Chen's Zhongxiao Army was quite difficult, and it severely damaged the Invincible Legion and the Xiliang Legion. In this battle, Dian Wei's Tiger Guards almost wiped out all of Dian Wei's Tiger Guards.
And the head general of such a legion fell into Chu Tian's hands.
