"The Eastern cavalry is so powerful. Hundreds of my soldiers were killed or injured, and many of them were experienced warriors."

Little Scipio met Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun left, gaining a new understanding of the Eastern cavalry.

He would rather encounter the shock cavalry attacking the Roman phalanx head-on than the horse archers from the east.

Baima Yi, who is good at riding and shooting, is in a certain sense a cavalry archer.

"We have limited knowledge of the cavalry in the East. The light cavalry attacking our rear this time are high-level special cavalry, so their cavalry shooting is very powerful. Only plate armor can block their rain of arrows. I am Teutonic

Grand Master of the Order, Hermann von Salza."

The Grand Master of the Teutonic Knights shook hands with the famous Roman general.

The Roman lord learned that a group of Eastern light cavalry had caused a lot of casualties to Scipio the Younger's Roman brigade. After learning a lesson, he began to pay attention to the cavalry.

He must conquer a civilization that is good at cavalry and serve as a vassal of the Roman legions in order to protect the flanks of the Roman legions. Otherwise, he will suffer losses again when encountering Eastern cavalry.

Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun returned to the camp to report the results of the battle. Chutian did not punish the two people, but instead asked them to record their military exploits. They used light cavalry to test the Roman legion and became familiar with the Roman legion's combat methods, which was also a gain. At the same time,

He commended Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun for their calmness.

If Hua Xiong faced the Roman phalanx alone, he might forcefully attack the Roman phalanx and then be defeated by Scipio the Younger.

However, if Chutian knew that Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun once had the opportunity to capture the Roman commander Scipio alive, he wonders whether he would still praise Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun for their calmness.

This confrontation with the Roman legion was just a small fight, and the loss of several hundred people was not a terrible defeat for the Roman legion. Xue Rengui and Zhao Yun only lost twenty or thirty cavalry.

"No matter how powerful the combat effectiveness of a single arm is, it is not as good as the cooperation of multiple arms. Even elephant soldiers must be protected by light infantry."

Chu Tian believed that the early Roman legions had quite a few flaws. It was not until Rome conquered nearby civilizations and absorbed their strengths that they gradually became stronger.

The two sides did not pay much attention to this battle and continued to confront each other. At the same time, the Roman lords relied on the cavalry of the European lords to protect the rear and prevent the Eastern cavalry from sneaking into the rear again.

On the day the National War ended, Chutian had already counted the populations of eleven cities. The eleven cities had a population of more than one million, and many of the young men in four of the cities were transformed into peasant armies by Zhang Dao, and they were all under Zhang Dao's command.

In addition, many young men and women died in the war, and the elderly, young, women and children accounted for the majority of the population of more than one million.

But for Chu Tian, ​​a million people is an unexpected gain that is no less than a points reward.

Bring them back to the Eastern Han Dynasty to enrich the population of Xuzhou. In ten, twenty, or thirty years, they can give birth to several million people in Xuzhou.

The population taken away by Chutian will become the race of the civilization by default. Similarly, the population taken away by the European lords will become white.

"Bringing back one million people at once is more than the 800,000 Yellow Turbans brought back from Qingzhou last time. This time Miss Xia will have another headache."

Seeing such a large population, Chu Tian couldn't help but break into a cold sweat for Xia Liang.

Even though the two had a relationship, Chu Tian still called her Miss Xia.

He also did not expect that he could plunder so many people from the battlefield of the National War and bring them back.

For some small civilizations with a small scale, a population of more than one million is enough to make them ecstatic. For Chutian, a Xuzhou herdsman, a population of one million is still acceptable, and resettlement is relatively simple.

Next, as long as he waited for the end of the national war, he could return to the Eastern Han Dynasty with a large number of people.

Chutian can also choose to allocate the birthplaces of these people to various counties. Each of the four counties he currently controls can absorb hundreds of thousands of refugees.

"The first place is still Chu Zimou. Is this the first time I have lost to him? But this time I didn't feel any emotions in my heart. It seems that I am used to it..."

Mingguan ordered Chang Yuchun, who ranked third, and Li Chengliang counted the cavalry. He came from behind and ranked third in the world, but he was still beaten by Chu Tian and Yekaterina.

Two of the top three in the world are lords of the Eastern Han Empire, which is enough to be proud of.

The Roman lords and the three major European lords were suppressed by Chu Tian and Jiujiu Lao Qin. They had no room to perform in the next two months, so they were ranked low. The three major European lords fell out of the top ten.

The military advisor of Mingguan counted the population: "There are a total of 270,000 registered households and a population of 1.1 million."

"For us in Liaodong, population is the most important resource."

The main purpose of Mingguan's participation in the national war was to plunder the population. The folk customs in Liaodong were relatively fierce, and there was no shortage of land, but population.

On the seaside of the battlefield of the National War, the fighting ships and sterns of the Eastern Han Dynasty were cruising. They had a naval battle with the Spanish lords.

In the northern part of the battlefield, Catherine also robbed millions of people and returned to Moscow. When these people arrived in Moscow, they would become the source of cavalry.

A population of one million means more to Catherine than to Chutian. Like Mingguan, her territory faces the problem of insufficient population.

After returning to the legion of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, although Ekaterina took charge of the legion again, she always felt a bit boring. Her subordinates treated her with respect and no one could ridicule her, which was boring.

"Don't let me meet you in the future national wars, otherwise I will definitely capture you alive and step on your face with my military boots."

Yekaterina thought of that annoying guy again. In recent days, she would even dream about being bullied by Chu Tian, ​​and she couldn't help but feel annoyed.

"My lord, the count, has been a little strange lately."

Yekaterina's adjutants and main generals all noticed Yekaterina's abnormality, but they did not dare to ask directly.

On the battlefield of the National War, the Goryeo lord Cui Zaishan was still fighting with the lords from Wuling County. The lord of Wuling County was ambushed by Cui Zaishan and defeated by the Goryeo heavy cavalry. The flag of the Eastern Han Dynasty fell to the ground, and Cui Zaishan stepped on the dragon flag with his feet.

This lord of Wuling County was not ranked high in the Eastern Han Dynasty. He was unfortunately defeated against Cui Zaishan, the first lord of Goryeo Kingdom, and his hero Eulji Mundeok.

Cui Zaishan gathered the military generals of the Koryo Kingdom, and with the strongest strength of the Koryo Kingdom, he was still able to win against the lord of a weak county in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Cui Zaishan carefully prepared a sneak attack in Liaodong, but was defeated miserably at the hands of Mingguan, the governor of Liaodong. Now he finally defeated an Eastern Han lord. Although the opponent was only one of the top ten lords in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cui Zaishan still found it difficult.

"This time the anti-Eastern Han alliance failed, the Eastern Han Dynasty will enter the stage of separatism among the heroes, and our situation in Goryeo will become even more difficult."

Although Cui Zaishan defeated a lord of Wuling County, he was still worried. Any prince from the period of separatist rule could go to war with Goryeo on his own.

Mingguan, the governor of Liaodong, was always an insurmountable obstacle for him.

The Japanese lord, a retainer of Oda Nobunaga, as the Japanese lord with the highest points, was only ranked eleventh. He took a look at the rankings and saw that four lords of the Eastern Han Dynasty were in the top ten.

"The gap is too big. Unless Oda Nobunaga can unify Japan faster than the Eastern Han Dynasty, then annex Goryeo and occupy Ryukyu, then he will have the power to resist..."

Even worse than the Japanese civilization was the Mughal Empire.

The population size of the Mughal Empire was almost the same as that of the Eastern Han Empire. As a result, the first lord Kshatriya was killed in battle, and no lord ranked among the top ten in the world.

With nearly one-fifth of the world's population, not one lord is in the top ten, or even the top fifteen, which has to be said to be a huge shame.

Both the Arab Empire and the Persian Empire, both ancient civilizations, have their lords in the top ten.

The reason why the Mughal Empire encountered Waterloo was that Chu Tian and Catherine joined forces. The national war was completely defeated not long after the beginning of the national war. The first lord was defeated and died in a tragic manner.

"I, the Brahmin, will take revenge for the hatred of this national war. The population of the Mughal Empire, even if there are two or three top ten lords in the world, it will not be surprising. The Chuzi of the Eastern Han Dynasty destroyed our foundation."

The third lord of the Mughal Empire was only ranked 37th, and he hated Chu Tian deeply. If Chu Tian had not defeated him in the battle and caused him to lose all the cities, his ranking would not have been so low.

The situation in the Southeast Asian countries is not optimistic either. The top ranking among the Southeast Asian countries is a lord from the Majapahit Kingdom (Indonesia), and then the lord from the Dai Viet Kingdom (Annam).

"Chu Zimou's points are too high. Back in the Eastern Han Dynasty, I couldn't compete with him. I only have two counties, Beihai Kingdom and Donglai County in Qingzhou. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the population is seriously insufficient."

Mr. Zhao from Qingzhou also participated in the national war, but did not meet Chu Tian and others.

He was only ranked 41st, and he had tried his best to plunder 300,000 people to make up for the losses in Beihai Kingdom, but he was still short of resources.

The last time Chutian directly moved 800,000 people from Beihai Kingdom at once.

"Do I have to join forces with Cao Cao to defeat Chu Zimou?"

Faced with the dilemma, Mr. Zhao couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Once Xuzhou is unified, Qingzhou may be Chutian's next target.

"The lords of the Eastern Han Dynasty are a strong enemy, but the distance between the Arab Empire and the Eastern Han Dynasty is far away, and they will not fight with them in the main world for ten years."

"We in Persia will recreate the glory of ancient times, occupy Central Asia, and conquer the Western Region Protectorate."

"The Eastern Han Dynasty is not far from our Seljuks and Khwarezm. Their Western Region Protectorate will threaten the security of Central Asia. As long as the Western Region Protectorate is defeated and the Yumen Pass is controlled, the Eastern Han Dynasty's threat to Central Asia can be eliminated...

…”

Some civilized lords in Central Asia and West Asia were also a little wary of the power of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Those directly affected were none other than the lords of Central Asia. The Central Asian civilization included the Dayuan Kingdom, the Wusun Kingdom, and the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions.

There are also ancient civilizations such as the Seljuk, Khwarezm, and Kushan Empires.

They began to notice the threat posed by the Western Region Protectorate of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

"One hour countdown to the end of the national war."

All Chutian's troops gathered in the city, and all the generals gathered.

Joan of Arc is still under semi-house arrest, guarded by the Detachment of Women.

She asked Chu Tian for the last time to release her and let her return to the French lords, but Chu Tian did not agree and forcibly took her back to the Eastern Han Dynasty.

As long as she was brought to the Eastern Han Dynasty, if she wanted to leave the Eastern Han Dynasty, she would have to serve Chutian for five years.

After obtaining the service of France's top hero for five years, as long as he unifies the Eastern Han Dynasty as soon as possible, no matter what happens in five years, Chutian will definitely make a profit without losing anything.

"What kind of civilization would the Eastern Han Dynasty be? Can I really return to France?"

Joan of Arc was helpless, her lord was not even willing to give her a thousand taels of gold to redeem her, so she could only be taken to the Eastern Han Dynasty to serve the lord, using her military exploits in exchange for freedom.

Fang Xuanling's strategy of retreating while advancing at least did not arouse Joan of Arc's resentment towards the Eastern Han Dynasty. As long as there was hope of returning to France, she would be like a drowning person grasping at straws.

"Ten minutes to the end of the national war."

"National war rewards will be settled within one day after the national war ends."

The scene in front of the main force led by Chu Tian changed. The place he chose to return to was Xiapi City where he set out.
