Chapter 765 Juyongguan

The Pamir Plateau, which is also the Pamir Mountains recorded in ancient Chinese historical books, is marching, crossing the daunting natural danger.

The Pamir Mountains stand tall.

The Han army's battle flag was waving, and a general rode a horse and led the Han army to cross mountains and ridges.

Even the Pamir Plateau, which is thousands of meters above sea level, cannot stop the Han army.

Although the military general Gao Xianzhi was not an imperial commander, he had the top mountain marching characteristics in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Moreover, Gao Xianzhi has two marching characteristics.

Like the characteristics of the troops, a general has at most two superimposed marching characteristics.

It is precisely because of the famous Tang Dynasty general Gao Xianzhi as a general that Huo'an's legion could traverse the Western Regions.

"Gao Xianzhi has the SS-level characteristics of "King of Mountains" (when marching on mountain terrain, plateau and mountain have a negative impact on marching speed -40%, non-combat reduction -60%, and when marching on mountain terrain, the total attributes of the legion +20%), and the S-level characteristics of "March Thousand Miles" (continuous marching, morale decline speed -30%, physical strength decline speed -25%, forced marching speed +15%)..."

During the war between the princes in the north, Huo'an personally conquered the Dayuan Kingdom and prevented Ogedei from unifying Central and South Asia.

Once Ogedei re-establishes the Mongol Empire, he will probably intervene in the civil war of the Han Empire, which is a scene that the princes of the Han Empire do not want to see.

Although Ogedei developed in Central Asia, Ogedei still believed that occupying the Central Plains was considered a bull that held the world.

"The war in the north seemed very fierce. The princes from all over the country participated in the war. The situation here is not optimistic. Timur has occupied Delhi, the capital of the Indian region. The Indians should be ashamed. Their capital was actually occupied by Timur's 100,000 cavalrymen. Although Timur used the Delhi minion army, Timur succeeded after all."

Huoan said to Xu Fengnian, who participated in the expedition to Dayuan Kingdom.

Xu Fengnian brought Ma Teng, Ma Chao, Han Sui, Li Hu and other military generals to assist in the attack on Dayuan.

Only the troops of the Western Regions Protectorate could not stand a wrestle with Ogedei.

Ogedei is in charge of the two Central Asian civilizations, Seerjuk and Khwarezm, with a population of 20 million. Currently, there is only 10 million Protectorate in the Western Regions, and there will be a gap in military strength.

Timur, the general of Ogedei, occupied Delhi. The land around Delhi was fertile and had a population of tens of millions. Together with Ogedei, it had at least 30 million people.

In the era of cold weapons, the population basically represented the output level. It was not obvious in a few years, but in ten or twenty years, the gap appeared.

Chutian's forces also gained a population advantage by fighting with one or two.

The current Mughal civilized area in India has a population of hundreds of millions, and it is not a good thing to be used by Timur.

Foreign rulers can tame the local population.

Xu Fengnian's armor was covered with sand and dust. In order to cross the Pamir Plateau, he paid a considerable price: "In the past, if you conquered Dayuan, did you also go to the Pamir Plateau?"

"Yes, Central Asia has a complex terrain, and conquering Central Asia is very time-consuming. Unless Dayuan has a teleportation array that can be used by us. But now, the Kushan Empire and Ogedei fight in Dayuan, and the influence of the Western Regions Protectorate is infinitely reduced."

"I hope that this expedition to Dayuan Kingdom will go well. Temujin died in battle, and his generals defected to Temujin's two remaining sons. As Temujin's second Mongolian Khan designated by Temujin, he gained a lot of benefits from it."

"In Dayuan Kingdom, there are several local nobles who choose to be loyal to me. When I conquered Dayuan Kingdom, I did not leave any help except to replace the king. I just don't know if these nobles from Dayuan Kingdom are still trustworthy."

...

In the Dayuan Kingdom, the Kushan Empire's army confronted the Seerjuk Empire's army. The Kushan Empire's emperor and the Sultan Ogedei, the Sultan of the Seerjuk Empire, competed for the hegemony of Central Asia and fought hard.

Because the Kushan Empire occupied the fertile land in the northern part of the Indus Plain, it mainly farmed and had a larger population, but the Ogedei generals were fierce and were in an offensive, surpassing the Kushan Empire with a large population.

"The Western Regions Protectorate did not participate in the civil war of the Han Empire, but came to prevent my Khan from unifying Central Asia. Huo'an was really outrageous! There has been information proved that the Han army of the Western Regions Protectorate was crossing the Pamir Mountains and entering the Dayuan Kingdom!"

Ogedei was furious.

Yelu Dashi, Badu, Wang Baobao, Yelu Chucai and other departments were listed on the left and right.

The Western Regions Protectorate has been monitoring Central Asia and South Asia for the Han Empire. It was regarded by Ogedei as a messenger in Central Asia and repeatedly prevented Central Asia's unification.

Yelu Dashi said: "The Kushan Empire has a population of nearly 100 million, and we must defeat the Kushan Empire. Once we have a population of over 100 million, the Western Regions Protectorate will not be able to stand up with us anyway. The Kushan Empire is just not good at taking advantage of their population advantages. But these populations will have a million troops in our hands. Timur has already gained a foothold in Delhi and then annexed the Mughal Empire of India. Our population is more than the Han Empire. Even if you do not occupy the Han Empire, you can establish a great empire with a larger population."

"Yelu Dashi, your proposal gave me hope to rebuild the Mongol Empire. The Kushan Empire and the Mughal Empire in India had vast plains, the hot and watery Indus River Basin and the Ganges River Basin, but they would not take advantage of their advantages. Only I, Ogedei, were worthy of ruling this land. If Father Khan knew that these two empires were strong and powerful, they would take the lead in occupying the Kushan and Mughals, and recruit millions of servants to attack the Han Empire, they might not have failed at the beginning."

Ogedei couldn't help but sigh.

After losing Temujin, Ogedei could only rely on his own efforts to re-establish a Mongolian empire, proving that he was no worse than his father.

However, this Mongol Empire only had two or three million Mongols who migrated from the northern desert, and the vast majority of the lower-class population became Persians, Turks, and Indians.

"How to deal with the expeditionary army of the Western Regions Protectorate?"

"Give up the Dayuan Kingdom."

"Give up Dayuan?"

Ogedei looked at Temujin's first assistant Yelu Chucai, a little confused.

Since Temujin died in battle, Yelu Chucai came to surrender to the second Khan Ogedei, assisting Ogedei to re-establish the ruling system of Central Asia and form a better rule over Central Asia.

...

In the Great Wall of Han, Juyongguan, Shanggu County, Xu Rong led a team of cavalry to quickly come to support without stopping.

Chang Yuchun, a fierce general of the Liaodong army, rushed to attack Juyong Pass, attempting to break through and enter, and attacked Youzhou from two directions with the Liaoxi army.

According to legend, when Qin Shihuang built the Great Wall, he moved prisoners, soldiers and forced civilians to live here, which led to Juyong Pass.

The purpose of the Han Great Wall was originally to guard against the nomadic cavalry on the grassland, but after the Southern Xiongnu, Jie people, Xianbei and other tribes entered Bingzhou, the Han Great Wall basically lost its original defensive effect.

The war between the princes at the end of the Han Dynasty was basically concentrated in the pass. The Great Wall still did not have much presence, and the princes did not have the energy to rebuild the Great Wall of the Han Dynasty.

When various princes deal with nomadic civilization, they advocate cavalry attacks rather than relying on the Great Wall to defend.

Until now, the Great Wall of Han was once again launched between Chu Tian and Mingguan.

However, the disrepaired Han Great Wall Pass was difficult to support under Chang Yuchun's fierce offensive.

Chang Yuchun personally wore armor to attack the defenders of Juyong Pass!

The Liaodong Army used the wolf flag as the battle flag to confront the dragon flag of the Youzhou Army. The heavy armored infantry in Liaodong followed one after another, braved the rain of arrows from the defenders to climb the city wall!

One by one, Liaodong soldiers rolled down from the ladder and screamed.

"The Eight Banners of Han, shoot arrows!"

Mingguan sent the Eight Banners of the Han army led by Kong Youde. Under the cover of the chariot, the Eight Banners of the Han army shot archery rain at the Juyongguan defenders, and even used firearms, with gunpowders filled with smoke!

The rain of arrows and lead bullets suppressed the defenders' archers. The defenders of Juyong Pass could hardly raise their heads under the dense long-range attack!

When a group of defenders pushed down the rocks, they were shot dead by dense rain of arrows and lead bombs!

"The Liaodong Army has firearms!"

The defenders' morale dropped due to the deterrent effect brought by firearms.

They are facing one of the most elite legions in Liaodong!

What the entire Youzhou army feared was not the Liaoxi Army, but the Liaodong Army!

The Xianbei and Wuhuan tribes sent 300,000 cavalry troops, which seemed to be huge, but in fact they were used to attract the attention of the Youzhou army. Only the Xianbei cavalry was threatened, but each legion of the Liaodong army was very brave.

Chang Yuchun rushed violently, led his troops to the city, killing dozens of people in a row, and a guard was even lifted up by Chang Yuchun, thrown down the wall, and smashed to pieces!

"Juyong County is in an emergency!"

"March day and night, no rest!"

"Notify General Wei Qing that the Liaodong Army attacked Juyong County in Shanggu County and request reinforcements!"

Xu Rong and Xiahou Yuan galloped on their horses. The Speed ​​Legion had powerful power. They were patrolling around the Great Wall. They learned that Chang Yuchun had chosen to enter the Pass from Juyong and were sweating profusely.

The Liaodong Army attacked Juyong, and the Liaoxi Army attacked Yuyang, with the target directed to Jixian, the capital of Youzhou, and wanted to meet in Youzhou.

Xu Rong and Xiahou Yuan were considered good generals at the end of the Han Dynasty, but when they fought head-on in front of the Liaodong Army, the direct leader of the Mingguan, they would easily be defeated by the Liaodong Army.

Their first reaction was to ask Wei Qing, who was watching the situation in Ji County.

Only Wei Qing can resist the Liaodong Army.

Wei Qing's army has deputy generals Xue Wanche and Gongsun Ao.

Wei Qing, the commander of Youzhou's headquarters, Jixian and Youzhou army, received the news as soon as possible.

Once the Ming Pass moves, he can move too.

"The Liaodong Army attacked Juyongguan, I don't know if I can defeat the Ming King..."

Wei Qing immediately mobilized his troops and planned to block the Liaodong Army in Juyongguan.

However, Wei Qing may not be confident in blocking the Liaodong Army.

The Liaodong Army was the imperial guards of the Ming Kingdom, with many military generals.

The teleportation array in Ji County flashed white light, and a female general led a spearmen out of the teleportation array. All the soldiers in Ji County looked at the infantry dressed in strange clothes.

The white pole soldier even wore straw sandals...

It looks like a team of peasant soldiers.

When Wei Qing's general Gongsun Ao heard the report, he led a teleportation array to support him. He did not hear of such a reinforcement army, so he took the initiative to ask: "Who are you?"
