One hundred and fifty miles east of Alimali City, on the banks of the Ili River, the cavalry of Temujin, Zhebe and Chagatai gathered here, and Mongolian and Wusun cavalry gathered here, and chose to fight the Han Empire's expeditionary force here.

This was the second large-scale battle between the two sides. Temujin and others were on the defensive, while the Han Empire Expeditionary Force crossed the Tianshan Mountains, but the attacking side was the attacking side.

"Great Khan, 80,000 cavalrymen of the Wusun Kingdom, obey your orders."

King Wusun respectfully saluted Temujin and was full of fear of the Khan from Mobei.

Temujin has the characteristic "Genghis Khan", which has a suppressive effect on the kings of many tribes.

The Wusun Kingdom is one of the most powerful kingdoms among the 36 countries in the Western Regions.

In "Lords", some small Western countries may have only one medium-sized city with tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of people. However, the territory of the Wusun Kingdom, from the Ili River Valley to the Junggar Basin, has a large number of cities, second only to the Western Regions Protectorate.

The original Wusun Kingdom was defeated by Huoan, the old Wusun King was executed, and Huoan established a new Wusun King, but the Wusun King was captured after being defeated by Ogedei and Yelu Dashi and surrendered to the Mongolian cavalry.

"Ben Khan heard that many Wusun nobles chose to support the Han army and sent cavalry to support the Han army, which led to the Han army being in the Ili River Valley and was extremely popular."

Temujin looked at the Wusun King in front of him coldly.

Sweat oozed from the forehead of King Wusun: "Huo'an, the Western Regions Protector, once ruled here and was kind to many nobles. Therefore, for their own interests, they would naturally choose to support the Han army. Please rest assured that more nobles will support me. There are already 80,000 cavalrymen who are willing to follow me and help the Khan win."

"I hope I won't disappoint. If you defeat the Han army, you will be the deputy king of the Chagatai Khanate."

"yes……"

The King of Wusun couldn't help but be overjoyed.

He became the Chagatai Khanate in one fell swoop. The role of being under one person and above ten thousand people was almost the same as the original power of the Wusun King.

The Han Empire Expeditionary Force was advancing rapidly, less than two hundred miles away from Alimari!

The Han army captured the fourth city, captured a group of craftsmen and servants, and expanded their scale.

The surrounding thousands of households and Wusun nobles fled to Alimali, Chu Tian and others' legions received less and less spoils.

All the soldiers of the expeditionary army knew that the decisive battle with Temujin in the Ili River Valley was approaching.

According to the prisoners' confession, Temujin and Chagatai Khanate gathered millions of cavalry in front of them, preparing to annihilate this in-depth expeditionary force on the banks of the Ili River.

Although Temujin claimed to be a million-dollar army, the princes of the Han Empire knew that this kind of claim was generally just an imaginary number, and the real force was reduced by at least half, which may be less than half.

Despite this, Temujin and Chagatai were fighting at their home court, and the overall situation was not conducive to the Han army.

The 110,000 Han troops and 40,000 Wusun troops were like entering an explosive barrel, and they might be crushed to pieces with Temujin and Chagatai at any time.

Because Huoan once ruled the Ili River Valley, Huoan could obtain a map of the Ili River Valley and was quite familiar with this place. Temujin and Chagatai did not occupy an absolute geographical advantage.

The Han Empire Expeditionary Force knew that it was going deep alone, and had the determination to fight with one's back and forth, so it was barely considered a harmonious relationship.

"If I fight against Temujin in the Ili River Valley, how much chance of winning are there?"

The old Qin stared at the map and fell into deep thought.

With Lao Qin's prudence, he would consider his winning rate before the war began.

The battle between Luntai State and Temujin and Chagatai was carried out at least in a place directly controlled by the Western Regions Protectorate. The Han army even occupied the time of heaven and defeated Temujin in one fell swoop. This time, there may not be time of heaven.

The main force of the 110,000 expeditionary force, 10,000 came from the hot southern central region. The combat effectiveness of the vine armored soldiers and white pole soldiers was greatly reduced due to the cold winter.

Most of Chu Tian’s 50,000 troops came from the Central Plains or Qilu, and the climate here was unbearable.

Lao Qin's Guanzhong Army is almost the same as Chu Tian's Central Plains Army.

Xu Fengnian's remnants could barely accept this climate.

With the right time, place and people, the expeditionary army of the Han Empire seemed to suffer a relatively disadvantage in terms of time.

The 40,000 Wusun cavalry who came to rely on them were originally living in this place, so they adapted to fighting here.

"If we fight according to normal circumstances, we will drive the three-seventh cavalry, and Temujin has more cavalry, which is considered seventh." Huo An finished speaking and said again, "But under abnormal circumstances, we will be seventh."

Chu Tian and Lao Qin were slightly moved: "What is abnormal?"

"Probably this is the case..."

"I see."

This time Chu Tian and Lao Qin finally felt relieved.

We can fight Temujin and Chagatai in the Ili River Valley.

"A part of the cavalry of the Chagatai Khanate went to attack the Seljuk Empire. Before the Seljuk Sultan lost the news, he sent envoys to contact us. It was most likely that the royal city was besieged, so the Seljuk Empire might soon be destroyed."

Huoan is still paying attention to other battlefields.

The five civilizations agreed to be the time when the ice and snow melted and the war drums were beaten, but Temujin launched an offensive in the cold winter. Among the five civilizations, the Seljuk Empire, the weakest at present, was defeated to the point of destruction.

If the Han army had not entered the Chagatai Khanate deeply, perhaps Temujin could have occupied Central Asia unscrupulously and strengthened his own strength.

A player captain from the Western Regions Protectorate came over and was responsible for contacting the Dayuan Kingdom.

He came to Huo'an's ear and whispered to report the news from Dayuan. Huo'an's face changed one after another.

Because the Han army broke through the city of Chagatai Khanate, some of the players' systems could be enabled in the city, so Huoan could learn about the changes in the Western Regions Protectorate and the vassal states of the Western Regions Protectorate.

Chu Tian, ​​Lao Qin, Xu Fengnian, Mu Ke and others saw Huo An's expression change and knew what might have happened to Huo An's territory: "What's the matter?"

Huo'an's tone was solemn: "You should know that Dayuan Kingdom was controlled by me before the Fourth National War began. Now the nobles of Dayuan Kingdom killed the king I appointed. The Kushan Empire attacked Dayuan Kingdom and occupied Dayuan Kingdom. Dayuan Kingdom became a vassal state of the Kushan Empire."

"The Kushan Empire really made a fortune in silence."

Chu Tian couldn't help but admire the forbearance of the Kushan Empire.

When the five major civilizations and the Mongol Empire and the three major Khanate fought, they quietly seized the vassal states of the Western Regions Protectorate, expanded their power to Pamirs and other places, and directly bordered the Khwarezm, Chagatai Khanate, and the Western Regions Protectorate.

Huoan suffered too much losses in this national war.

Originally, Dayuan and Wusun were his territory, but now he wants to reoccupy these places and start a war with the Kushan Empire.

"What famous generals are there in the Kushan Empire?"

"I don't know. There are too few records of the Kushan Empire in history books. Even if the Kushan Empire has famous generals, it is probably some original military generals."

Everyone thought about it and found that the records in the Eastern Han and European regions were quite detailed, and the civilization like the Kushan Empire, which was once short-lived in history, seemed to be really lacking in records.

"No matter how powerful the Kushan Empire is, he has taken away the vassal state controlled by our Western Regions Protectorate. Sooner or later, this revenge will be avenged."

Huoan was angry at the Kushan Empire that sent troops to occupy Dayuan.

Dayuan Kingdom, because it is located in the Fergana Basin, is rich in good horses and grain, and is an important vassal state for the Western Regions Protectorate.

In order to ask for a bloody horse from Dayuan, Emperor Wu of Han sent General Li Guangli to lead the Han army to expedition to Dayuan twice, kill his king, and establish a new Dayuan king, which shows that.

Huo'an's approach was somewhat similar to that of Emperor Wu of Han. In order to appease Dayuan as soon as possible, he chose to kill the King of Dayuan and set up a new king close to the Western Regions Protectorate.

However, Huoan still underestimated the power of the nobles of Dayuan. After the influence of the Protectorate in the Western Regions was shrinking, these nobles joined forces to overthrow the king established by Huoan and elected a new king to represent the interests of the nobles of Dayuan, rather than the interests of the Protectorate in the Western Regions.

In general, it is very difficult for the Western Regions Protectorate to conquer Central Asian civilization, which is incompatible with itself.

Compared with the Dayuan Kingdom, the Cheshi Kingdom, the Yanqi Kingdom, the Luntai Kingdom, and the Kucha Kingdom, the civilizations that were ruled by the Western Regions Protectorate for a longer time, they can better accept the culture of the Han Empire.

"In the future, we must use the teleportation array to change the way we rule Central Asian civilization. It is best to forcibly promote our culture and Chineseize it."

After repeated rebellions from these vassal states, Huo'an has been thinking about establishing a new order.

It is obvious that during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, the strategy of supporting the new king could not achieve long-term control of the vassal state. Emperor Wu of Han's measures were based on the premise that the Western Regions Protectorate was strong. Once the influence of the Western Regions Protectorate was weakened, or if there were civilizations that were more powerful than the Western Regions Protectorate, these places would rebel.

Replacing the old culture with new culture and adding forceful suppression may be the long-term way.

"We don't have to consider the affairs of Dayuan and the Kushan Empire for the time being. Defeat Temujin and Chagatai and recover the Ili area. The civilization of Central Asia will be cleaned up sooner or later."

Chu Tian and others turned their eyes back to the Yili River Valley.

The Dayuan Kingdom was annexed by the Kushan Empire. The Kushan Empire clearly knew that the Western Regions Protectorate was beyond the reach of the Dayuan Kingdom at this time, and the Western Regions Protectorate at most condemns it and cannot send troops to attack, so it is unscrupulous.

But this beam has been considered a foregone conclusion.

The Han Empire's expeditionary force believed that Huo'an had a winning rate of 70%. He marched along the Ili River, preparing to fight Temujin and Chagatai Khanate in the Ili River Valley, but this time the protagonist changed from the Central Asian coalition to the Han Empire's expeditionary force.

"The Han army actually chose to fight in the Yili River Valley. Their troops were only more than 100,000. Could it be that they were really confident that they could defeat our more than 300,000 troops?"

Temujin learned that the Han army had not retreated but advanced, and on the eve of the Second Battle of the Ili River Valley, he still couldn't believe it.

Temujin couldn't produce the million-strong army she claimed, but 300,000 cavalry were more than enough.

The Han army crossed the Tianshan Mountains, with a small number of people and not many servants obtained, but they dared to fight head-on.

There are big problems here.

"Khan, they just have confidence in themselves, so they dare to fight us. This time, we must use absolute troops to destroy them and let their blood dye the Yili River red."

Chagatai caressed the wings of a war eagle. The Ili River was frozen and frozen for thousands of miles. However, the cavalry on both sides had to fight an unprecedented decisive battle in this climate.

"Zhebei, the war begins. You lead a cavalry to ambush in the snow forest in the north of the mountain, raid the rear of the Han army, and shoot Chu Zimou."

Temujin believed that Chu Tian's cavalry was no less than his cavalry and was an opponent that had to be removed, so he ordered Tsebe to ambush in complex terrain for raids.

Zhe’s goal is to shoot Chu Tian, ​​who poses the greatest threat to Temujin.

"The last general will receive the order!"

Zhebe took away eight thousand cavalry, and among these eight thousand cavalry, there were about one thousand Qiexue troops.

In order to kill Chu Tian, ​​Temujin even used the veterans of the Qiexue Army, who were already small.
