"A team of cavalry broke out and looked east!"

The commander of the Wanfu, who failed to intercept the Gan Yanshou cavalry, came to report to Ogedei.

“How many people left?”

"More than a hundred people."

"If they leave, they will let them leave. The cavalry of the Khanate in Yanqi may intercept them."

Ogedei didn't care much about Gan Yanshou's cavalry team.

Yelu Dashi moved his neck and looked at the war eagle in the air: "The reinforcements from the Han Empire will arrive soon. It is said that when the Khan attacked the Cheshi Kingdom, he was repelled by the Han army."

Ogedei was indeed shocked to learn that Temujin was defeated, but that was all: "Even if they could defeat Da Khan, they could not eliminate Da Khan's Qixue army. A team of cavalry in the north of the Mohe area had been teleported to Tianshan Mountain and then to Yanqi Kingdom, which was enough to make up for Da Khan's losses."

In order to appease Yelu Dashi and keep him loyal, Ogedei knew that he could not let his generals think that Temujin was not an opponent of the Han Empire Expeditionary Force.

As of now, Temujin suffered a little loss when facing the Han Empire Expeditionary Force, but he did not end up being wiped out.

The Han Empire Expeditionary Force also had to pay an extremely heavy price, not an ordinary price, if it wanted to wipe out Temujin's main force.

"And, that guy from Chagatai should be coming too."

Ogedei looked west.

To the west, the two sons of the Khanate of the Chagatai Khanate, Chagatai and Temujin, led the army of the Chagatai Khanate, and the captured Seljuk and Khwarezm minions to expedition Luntai.

The Yili River Valley is not far from Luntai, but because of the obstruction of the Tianshan Mountains, it will take time to bypass the Tianshan Mountains.

"Ogedei is really unlucky. In order to help me, my Khanate was destroyed by the Western Regions Protector. This time, I helped him once, and the kindness was considered as the two Qing Dynasties."

Chagatai drove out Central Asian minions such as Seljuk and Khwarezm, and hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep advanced.

These 70,000 to 80,000 Central Asian minions were the cavalry captured by the Chagatai Khanate after the defeat in the Battle of the Ili River Valley, the Seljuk Empire and the Khwarez Kingdom.

In addition to the 70,000 to 80,000 Central Asian minions, Chagatai brought 100,000 troops from the Chagatai Khanate and assembled in the Kucha Kingdom in the Western Regions under the order of Temujin.

The army in Chagatai was everywhere, and the whole country was full of cattle, sheep and war horses.

All the cavalry in the Western Regions gathered quickly with Luntai City as the center, involving several princes of the Han Empire and several Mongolian Khans.

Luntai City became the center of storm.

Huoan retreated to attack the Mongolian army in Luntai City, but the bombardment of the Xiangyang cannon on Luntai was never over, but continued to bombard the city. The fireball burst and the fire spread in Luntai City. The defenders had to distract from extinguishing the fire.

"After this battle, even if our Western Regions Protectorate still exists, it will probably take two or three years to restore its strength. The pace of entering Central Asia will eventually delay."

Huo'an stayed in swords and confronted Ogedei and Yelu Dashi under the city.

They all have the determination to dominate Central Asia.

However, their struggle actually allowed the Chagatai Khanate to take advantage.

Yellow and sandals filled the world, and the huge iron-armored war elephant took heavy steps, leaving huge footprints on the Gobi Desert.

Teams of Han cavalry marched in the yellow sand, with gravel flying, hitting the iron pieces of armor and breaking the battle flag.

The Xuanjia Army had to remove its armor and carry it on a pack horse. During the battle, it temporarily put on armor.

The same is true for Le Yi's Yanjia, all of which are lightly equipped.

The war eagle of the Iron Eagle Scout soars in the air. Once the enemy's cavalry is discovered, all legions will prepare for combat.

Military advisor Sun Bin was talking to the locals, as if he wanted to figure out the changes in the wind direction.

The right time and place are harmonious, and the time is very important.

...

"Han Empire's teleportation array has not been opened yet?"

In the Grand Duchy of Moscow, after Katerina discovered that there was something wrong with the Golden Horde, she was concerned about the issue of opening the teleportation array in Luntai City.

Luntai City, the Western Region Protectorate, was one of the two world trade nodes in the Eastern Han Dynasty, opened a teleportation array with St. Petersburg. At this time, the teleportation array had not been restored, which means that Luntai City was still besieged by Mongolian cavalry.

If Luntai's teleportation array fails, it will be difficult for Caterina to go to the Han Empire. The cities between the Grand Duchy of Moscow and the Han Empire have been blocked by the Golden Horde and the Mongol Empire.

Yekaterina thought it was necessary to go to the Han Empire to make sure of one thing.

"According to the news from players of the Han Empire, the Han Empire organized an expeditionary force with a population of at least 400,000 to enter the Western Regions to support Luntai City. If the Han army can lift the siege of Luntai City, the teleportation array between St. Petersburg and Luntai will be reopened."

"When the teleportation array of Luntai City is opened, let me know immediately."

"yes."

Yekaterina was a little uneasy.

The Golden Horde plundered gold and silver near the Volga River Basin, then narrowed its sphere of influence, and chose to avoid her military front, which made Yekaterina a little confused.

...

The central army of the Han army, Mulan, sent the War Eagle to investigate Luntai, back and brought back the notes from Huo'an.

Huo Qing couldn't wait to get up, wanting to know the safety of his brother.

"As expected, Huo'an was besieged in Luntai City, and there were at least more than 100,000 enemy soldiers surrounding Luntai City."

Chu Tian took off the note, and Huo An described the situation of Luntai, the capital of the Western Regions Protectorate, in just one short sentence.

"The opponent has more than 100,000 people, and Luntai still has at least tens of thousands of defenders. Why didn't he choose to break through? If he chooses to break through, then Ogedei can't stop him..."

Huo Qing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he learned that his brother Huo An was fine, and at the same time he was puzzled by Huo An's choice.

"Only he has the reputation to defend Luntai. He chose to leave Luntai. The people's hearts and morale of Luntai declined. Even if a general is left to defend the city, it would be useless. Luntai cannot be a loss, otherwise, the Western Regions Protectorate will be destroyed, leaving only the Cheshi Kingdom... We cannot always garrison troops in the Cheshi Kingdom. The crisis of the Western Regions Protectorate will eventually be solved by the Western Regions Protectorate."

Chu Tian knew that Huo An was in charge of Luntai in person, mainly to calm people's hearts.

"oh."

Huo Qing was still a little worried.

"It seems that Huoan also sent a cavalry to meet with us. Perhaps the generals of that cavalry will tell us more information about Luntai City and your brother."

Chu Tian learned that a small team of cavalry broke through successfully.

At this time, Sun Bin was riding a horse, looking a little worried.

"Why are the military advisors panic?"

Chu Tian rarely felt uneasy about Sun Bin when he saw him.

Sun Bin said: "There are many winds and sandstorms here, so you need to be careful of Temujin. Subutai takes advantage of the flying sand and rocks and attacks from front to back."

Chu Tian knew that Sun Bin had a certain ability to predict danger, and his worries were reasonable.

During the Battle of Cheshi Kingdom, Temujin took advantage of the strong wind to launch an attack. Once sand and stones flew away, the Han army located in the lower wind direction would be very passive.

Sun Bin noticed this.

"Notify the front and rear troops to be careful of wind and sand and protect the water and arrows."

Chu Tian and others kept water in the water bag when they were marching.

Without food, you can kill camels and war horses to fill your hunger. Without water, the expeditionary army will be unable to move and without arrows. Facing the Mongolian cavalry who are good at riding and shooting, you will not be able to fight back.

The two war eagles flew towards Huo Qubing's front army and Lao Qin's rear army, reminding them to pay attention to the wind and sand.

Sun Bin paid attention to the changes in the flags in the army: "It's not good, the weather changes."

"Can't it be that the wind is going to blow again..."

Chu Tian's heart sank.

Expedition to Luntai is definitely not that easy. If you are not careful, 400,000 Han troops and millions of cattle and sheep will all be destroyed in the Gobi Desert and the desert.

"I will lead my troops to the front army to support!"

Mu Ke was holding back a fire and full of hatred for the Mongol Empire that besieged Huoan, so he urged the Southern Central Army to go to support the front army.

The Southern Central Army supported the front army, but Chu Tian said nothing, and he was also worried that the front army would be attacked by Temujin.

Temujin was defeated in Cheshiguo, and probably had a sense of anger in his chest, trying to severely damage the Han army.

Qin Liangyu and Baigang soldiers, Wutugu and Vine Armor soldiers, led by Mu Ke, accelerated the marching speed and caught up with Huo Qubing's legion as soon as possible.

When the front army, Huo Qubing, Wang Xuance, Li Siye and others received the reminder from Chu Tian, ​​the dust in the sky had already begun to spread, and only the camels that followed the army were calmly in peace.

Huo Qubing, Li Siye, Wang Xuance and others were already familiar with the Gobi and deserts in the Western Regions. Although they felt it was difficult, they still marched towards Luntai according to the established route.

"General, please be the vanguard!"

Huo Qubing's deputy general Zhao Ponu volunteered to serve as a vanguard to test the enemy cavalry that might appear in front of the army.

Wang Xuance frowned: "At this time, there was a strong wind. We should stop the march. After the wind and sand, we should march towards Yanqi and Luntai before we can ensure that Temujin will not attack."

Li Siye was also a little impatient: "Luntai was besieged by the Mongolian army and was always in danger of falling. Once we are indecisive, Lutai will inevitably lose. It is better to take advantage of the wind and sand to attack the Yanqi Kingdom thousands of miles, defeat Temujin in one fell swoop, and avenge him for attacking the Western Regions Protectorate!"

"Temujin is good at cavalry and will definitely be prepared for a hundred miles of attacks. I am afraid that she will enter the tiger's mouth. Please think twice."

Wang Xuance believes that Li Siye’s proposal is too risky.

It is extremely dangerous to implement the 100-mile raid tactic in front of cavalry generals who are good at raiding a hundred miles.

As the head of this legion, Huo Qubing finally made a decision on the proposals of these people.
To be continued...
