Kipchak Khan originally planned to send troops to Obsburg on the same day as the Hetao attack on Tie Ying Tyumen. However, after thinking about it, he decided to launch the offensive one or two days in advance to provoke Suganev as soon as possible. In this way, even if Xi
Er Jiangliu and others were dissatisfied, but facing Suganev, the Army God of the Western Continent, they had nothing to say.
With nothing to do, Haotian asked casually: "Military advisor, what is the current situation in the Western Continent?"
"The Western Continent is a relatively vague concept. Just as the dividing line between us and the Central Continent is not so obvious, the same is true for them. The northern region still has the natural boundary of the Ural River, but in the central and southern regions, it is
Determine it based on the dividing line between the Obsburg Empire, the Kingdom of Constantine and Sashan." Xuanji thought for a while and said: "The Western Continent is dominated by small city-states. Even the Obsburg Empire is composed of countless city-states.
They are composed of small countries. Their city lord is a small prince, who has great power in his own territory. Since their local nobles often use marriage as a means of forming alliances, their kinship relationships are quite chaotic. There are also frequent conflicts between countries.
Divide and unite.”
He didn’t know much about the mystery, but fortunately there was Luo Xiang beside him: “I once traveled to the Latin Kingdom in the southern part of the Western Continent, and I know a little bit about it. The countries in the Western Continent are mainly city-states and principalities, but there are also a few
A larger country, in addition to the overlord Obsburg Empire, there is the Kingdom of Constantine in the southeast, the Kingdom of Latin in the south, the Kingdom of Gaul in the west, and the Kingdom of Plantagenet across the sea from the Kingdom of Gaul.
Emperor Nicholas II of the Obsburg Empire and King Dodo of the Plantagenet Kingdom are cousins, so the relationship between the two countries has always been good. The total population of the Obsburg Empire is as high as 35 million. This has been more than ten years.
According to the previous figures, the total strength is 800,000."
"Eight hundred thousand?" Haotian said in surprise.
"The actual army belonging to Nicholas II is about 500,000, and the remaining 300,000 are the armies of various principalities and small city-states. Since the people of the Western Continent are taller in physique, their heavy infantry and heavy cavalry are quite powerful in combat.
The powerful Baijing was built by the descendants of the Western Continent, and their combat effectiveness is obvious to all. However, whether it is heavy infantry or heavy cavalry, their mobility is extremely poor. Kipchak Khan took advantage of this shortcoming of the opponent, although every time he mobilized
They don't have many troops, but they often fight and the opponent has no power to fight back." Luo Xiang said carefully.
"Well, it turns out that's the case. But none of this has anything to do with us. Even if they kill people in the Western Continent, it's still their business. Try to defeat Tie Ying Qiu Ming and the Uma Dynasty before the end of the year, and then send troops to destroy Sa Shan next year.
That’s almost it.” Haotian said with a smile.
After passing through Miyun City, we entered the boundary of the northwest prairie. However, because the gate of Miyun City was only that big, it took two full days for an army of 500,000 to pass through, plus the strategic materials behind it.
One day passed.
When he learned that Haotian's army had arrived, Situ Lie personally led 40,000 soldiers of the Canglang Army to cooperate in the battle. Yumen Pass is an important border defense area after all. Even if there is no danger now, Situ Lie did not dare to be careless and left an army here specially.
infantry.
Situ Lie has been stationed at the border for a long time and rarely comes back several times a year. Especially after the Hetao army moved south, Haotian and others have not seen Situ Lie again. When everyone gathered together, a group of old comrades naturally hugged each other and laughed.
"Look, Situ, that bastard, has grown a beard and looks a bit official." Dugu laughed and said.
Xue Sha also smiled and said, "That's right, he looks a bit like a dog."
Haotian couldn't help coughing twice. Everyone was chatting lively with Situ Lie and didn't pay attention to Haotian's coughing. Haotian coughed a few more times, this time the sound was a bit loud, and everyone noticed it.
Li Xiao whispered: "Which mistress did my lord rest with last night? He actually caught a cold."
Jiang Chenzhou whispered: "I don't know, the battle situation should be unprecedentedly fierce. But this is good, maybe we can have a few more little princes. Do you think it is better for my lord to have a little prince or a little princess?
"
Although Cheng Xiangxi was gentle and gentle, he was also very easy-going in front of all his old comrades. He smiled and said: "Whether it is a prince or a princess, I am definitely not born to the lord, but to the imperial concubine."
Haotian's face was ashen. He originally wanted to remind Dugu and others that he also had a beard, but he didn't know that these bastards could actually pull it off. Qiu Mu's pretty face was pink, because she was alone with him last night
With Haotian.
After all, Luo Xiang was the elder. When he saw the commotion among the people, he smiled and said: "Situ, how is the situation in the direction of Tie Ying and Qiu Ming? We have a million troops to march outside the Great Wall in order to pacify Tie Ying and Qiu Ming in one battle. We must not do anything.
funnel."
"Tupuchidan mobilized the whole country's 250,000 troops to defend the royal capital Jingyuan City, completely abandoning Fuyuan City and Anyuan City to the east." Situ Lie said quickly.
Luo Xiang chuckled: "I didn't expect that coward Tupuchidan to be so brave. He seems to be ready to fight us to the death." Although Luo Xiang is gloomy and vicious, at least he is polite in his words when dealing with others.
, which is very consistent with his status as the number one scholar at that time, and he rarely used such rude words. Therefore, everyone was a little surprised to hear him say "coward".
Situ Lie chuckled and said: "Sir, you think too highly of Tupuchidan. He is just preparing with both hands. The Uma envoy has arrived at Yumen Pass and is ready to meet the lord. Tupuchidan said that he can give up the title of king and take the initiative.
Step down, follow the practice of the Han and Tang Empires, and obey the command of our Shenzhou Dynasty Beiting Protectorate."
"That's it?" Haotian said with a smile.
Luo Xiang snorted coldly: "Does he think he still has a chance?" He and Guo Huai had a close relationship. When Guo Huai was in charge of Uma, although there was a slight conflict between the two parties, under the harmony of the two,
The contract was finally concluded. Frankly speaking, the main reason why Chu Xiangcheng and Luo Xiang decided to let Uma live was because of the existence of Guo Huai. There were not many old friends from those days. They were older, even Luo Xiang and Chu Xiang
People who become like this also start to feel nostalgic for the past.
Haotian also has the same opinion. Haotian deeply hates Uma, a villain who goes back on his word. The two people he hates most in his life are those who offend him. In the past, God's will was his betrayal, but now it is
They are the two brothers Hao and Jin. The second type is those who betray their promises and betray their promises. But Uma has both.
"Drive their envoy back! If the two countries are not at war and don't kill the envoy, I will kill his envoy today!" Haotian said coldly.
When Luo Xiang heard this, he quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, Lord."
Haotian quickly supported Luo Xiang and said with a smile: "Sir, you're welcome. Since Uma dares to offend our country, as our ally in Hetao, but colludes with foreigners to plot against our country, even if they kill them all, it is reasonable.
among.”
"How are the conditions of Tie Ying and Qiu Ming?" Haotian asked.
"We are preparing for the war with all our strength. But they didn't expect that our Hetao cavalry would suddenly go south along the coast of Bingyang, bypassing Duanhun Ridge. Iron Eagle was the first to bear the brunt. The northern territory, which was originally the rear area, was full of smoke. But there is good news and bad news.
." Situ Lie said.
Xue Sha frowned: "When did this kid learn to tell the truth? Come on, tell me."
Situ Lie laughed and laughed at Haotian Dare, but he was a little afraid of Xuesha and Dugu. He quickly said honestly: "Actually, it's the same thing. Since our Hetao attack is imminent, considering that Southeast Asia will be the first to launch our Hetao attack
During the offensive, Badasi Khan specially led his guards to hide in the northern rear area. When Feng Shuai and Xin Shuai's armies went south, Badasi Khan's royal tent bore the brunt of the attack. He did not even put up any decent resistance and was killed by Xin Shuai himself.
All 50,000 Guardsmen were wiped out."
Jiang Chenzhou said doubtfully: "Badasi Khan was killed by Xin Shuai? This is good news. Why do you say it is also bad news at the same time?"
Situ Lie remained silent and just looked at Haotian. Haotian frowned, he already understood what Situ meant. Once Badasi Khan died, Tie Ying's military power would undoubtedly fall into the hands of Hengshi Hassan.
Hengshi Hassan is the top cavalry general in the Eastern Continent. Even if Feng Jing and others faced him, they would not dare to be careless. After many blows from Hetao, Tieying's current total population is still close to one million.
If they were to become soldiers, they would have at least 300,000 troops. The nomads are not like farming peoples. Their herdsmen are born warriors. Horseback riding and archery are the most important part of their daily lives. And this is in the prairie that they are familiar with.
On top of that, the combat effectiveness is naturally not weak.
"Have they retreated towards Qiu Ming?" Haotian asked.
"My lord is wise. Hengshi Hassan even has the tendency to abandon Haiziyuan. Now Tie Ying's large quantities of grain and grass are being continuously transported to the green grassland of Qiu Ming." Situ Lie replied in a deep voice.
Haotian is a little bit in pain. The vast northwest prairie is a paradise for nomadic cavalry. If Qiu Meng's Memphis and Iron Eagle's Hengshi Hassan completely merged, the total strength would even be as high as 600,000. Even if Haotian treats his subordinates no matter how hard he is,
Trust is also a headache.
Hengshi Hassan gave up the Iron Eagle territory and even prepared to give up the capital of Haiziyuan. It was obvious that he was preparing to strengthen the wall and clear the wilderness, lengthen the logistics supply line of the Loop, lure the enemy deep into the Loop, and finally eliminate the Loop. On the prairie, the wandering cavalry was familiar with the elusive terrain.
It is very easy to cause huge trouble to the soldiers in Hetao, especially the logistical supplies. The prairie is not like the territory of the Three Northeastern Kingdoms, and some things can be robbed in Hetao. But here, there is no place to rob at all.
No. The nomadic cavalry has long been accustomed to the environment here. This is his home, the place where they live and die, and their guerrilla tactics can be brought into full play.
"Hasan Hengshi is worthy of being a famous iron eagle general. A strong man cuts off his wrist and is really decisive. Hey, if we can force them to give up their guerrilla tactics and fight us head-on, then maybe we can decide the country in one battle." Luo Xiang said with a smile.
"Impossible. The prairie is too big. If we spread our millions of troops on it, even a bubble will not come out. They know very well what the advantages of their arms are, and they have made up their minds to share the same fate. If they want to
It is simply impossible to force them to fight decisively." Haotian shook his head.
Luo Xiang looked at Xuanji, who was shaking his feather fan with a relaxed expression. He smiled and said: "It's not impossible. Nomads rely less on logistical equipment, especially when marching and fighting on the prairie.
In this way, if we can burn all the logistical materials they have piled up in the green grassland, and make a show of preparing to spend it with each other on the grassland, then Hengshi Hassan and Memphis will definitely not be able to sit still. Don't forget
Now is the time when the livestock are getting fat. If we stay here and don’t leave, most of their herdsmen will be hungry again in winter, so they must drive us away as soon as possible.”
"But Feng Shuai and Xin Shuai's 350,000 cavalry have been blocked to the north by Memphis, and the cavalry in our hands is too weak to break through Hengshi Hasan's defense line." Jiang Chenzhou said in confusion.
"Our cavalry is more than just that." Xuanji said with a smile, and Luo Xiang had the same meaning in his eyes.
Raising grass in spring, grazing in summer, harvesting in autumn, and resting in winter. This is the work of most nomadic people on the grassland for a year. The busyness of spring is related to the harvest of the year, so they naturally dare not neglect it. Summer is the time for livestock breeding.
, the cold climate in winter is not suitable for long-distance running, so there is only autumn, which happens to be the harvest season when livestock gain fat. At this time, autumn is crisp, so nomadic people often launch robberies against the Shenzhou Dynasty in the south at this time.
But today is slightly different. Although all the tribesmen of Tieying and Qiu Ming are gathering on a large scale, it is definitely not to go south to rob, but to resist the arrival of the Shenzhou Dynasty army. Since the Junlin Tianxia Dynasty, this is the first time that the Shenzhou Empire has
Gathering millions of troops at once to sweep across the Great Wall. Haotian had led his troops out of the Great Wall before, and fought all the way from Yumen Pass to Jiayuguan Pass. But compared with the last time, this time the scale was larger, the strength was stronger, and the determination was more determined.
"Li Xiao, Cheng Xiangxi, you two will lead your own legions and choose one of them each in Fuyuan City and Anyuan City. There is no regular Uma garrison in the city, and the number of people is limited. Capture them in the shortest time, and then all
All the Uma people rushed to Jingyuan City and built a city here." Haotian said coldly.
"I obey!" Li Xiao and Cheng Xiangxi hurriedly came out to promise. Uma was a small and weak country, and there were only four cities within its borders that could be used. From east to west they were Fuyuan, Anyuan, Jingyuan and Luyuan.
Just from their names, we can know that these cities were built when the Chinese army was stationed outside the Great Wall, so they have a strong Chinese flavor and frontier fortress atmosphere.
During the Qingfeng Empire era, Jingyuan City was once the garrison of the White Tiger Legion. The city defenses were relatively complete, but Fuyuan City was far inferior to Anyuan City. The city walls were less than three feet high and the circumference was only more than ten miles.
It was slightly inferior to ordinary county towns in China. Haotian asked Li Xiao and Cheng Xiangxi to take the initiative to lead an army to attack these two cities with almost no defensive power. It was obvious that they hoped to use these two cities to practice their skills.
Among the more than ten direct legions in Hetao, the one with the worst combat effectiveness should be the Fengwu Legion, followed by Li Xiao's Red Snake Legion and Cheng Xiangxi's Qilin Legion. Both legions were rebuilt after the Dingzhou Incident, but the Qilin Legion has always been stationed
At Juyong Pass, facing the powerful enemy to the north, no one in the legion dared to neglect, so the combat effectiveness was greatly improved. The Red Snake Legion went south to Yinfeng Castle and experienced a lot of battles. Only those south of the river
Compared with the battle outside the Great Wall, after all, the battle was a bit childish. Therefore, Haotian urgently hoped that they could improve their combat effectiveness so that they could play their due role in the next war.
The two of them also knew what Haotian meant. If they performed well this time, they might be able to gain some benefit from the battle with Sashan after defeating Iron Eagle Qiu Ming. However, if Haotian cannot see
If you catch your eye, I'm afraid you'll have to follow the army and eat dust in the rest of the war.
"Commander Blood, you will lead your own army and the 50,000 soldiers of the Flying Bear Army to the junction of Qiu Ming and Rouran. Although the Kipchak Khan has some agreements with us, if Tie Ying Qiu Ming escapes to Rouran, then the Kipchak will be
Khan handed over the person, the impact will be very bad." Haotian said slowly.
Xue Sha Smile, when formulating the battle plan, he was the main participant, so he naturally understood what Haotian meant. The Kipchak Khan's army went to Obsburg, and the troops left behind in Rouran had to beware of Sashan's possible attack.
, as long as all members are not mobilized, there is no way to threaten the Hetao army. Haotian has an ulterior motive, and it is just a declaration to the outside world.
The Loop has never considered the possibility that Kipchak Khan will break the contract. Not to mention that Kipchak Khan is the kind of iron-blooded man who is upright and unstoppable, but his expedition to Obsburg has already provoked the Western Continent.
The unparalleled commander-in-chief Suganev was unable to escape for the time being. By the time he ended the war on the Western Continent, there was a high probability that Hetao would have pacified the entire Tieyingqiu Ming.
"Commander Du, after Li Xiao and Cheng Xiangxi capture the Second City of Fuyuan, our army will attack Jingyuan City with all our strength and strive to defeat Uma in one battle. Tie Ying Qiu Ming and Uma have always had a close relationship, and at this time of death, they may be in danger.
Shi Hasan will not sit idly by and ignore it. When the time comes, it will be up to you, Du Shuai." Haotian said cautiously.
Fengjing and other five cavalry regiments with a force of 350,000 are fighting against Memphis in the north. The Xuesha and Feixiong regiments have gone to the west, leaving only the two main regiments of Huben and White Tiger in Haotian, as well as Honor, Canglang, Dongfang,
There are five second-line legions of Red Snake and Qilin. Youdao is like an elephant killed by too many ants. Facing the threat of national subjugation and annihilation, the combat effectiveness of Uma soldiers will inevitably increase. As a people on the edge of the grassland, they may not be able to compete in riding and shooting.
The nomadic cavalry's defense is not as good as that of the farming people, but its overall strength is not bad. Haotian doesn't want to capsize in the ditch, so he has no choice but to be careless.
However, when Haotian's attention reached Dugu, he couldn't listen to it at all. Dugu just yawned and said lazily: "Lord, if I were you, I would never worry about such a problem. With such thoughts
, it is better to think about which mistress to accompany you to rest at night."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone heard the cracking of Zhang Yuewan's knuckles. Including Haotian, their faces were ashen. If it were anyone else, they would definitely be scared to death, and even if they didn't collapse to the ground, they would immediately become dejected.
He ran away. But Uncle Dugu was not such a heartless person. He just laughed, turned around and said loudly to Zhou Jilong and others: "Listen up, you bastards. Our White Tiger Army will take the responsibility of guarding three hundred thousand people."
The army of iron eagles and fans chewing pumpkins may be responsible for the sudden attack of the bastards. Now go back to the uncle and let me clean it up. If anyone goes to the battlefield and his feet are weak, be careful that the uncle will chop off all three of his legs.
!”
Everyone was really speechless now. They couldn't stand the bloody killing. They laughed and cursed and said: "Get away, don't you see the mistresses are still here?"
Dugu didn't take it seriously, and laughed and said: "Brothers, let's go!" He gave a crooked military salute to Haotian, and Dugu took advantage of the situation to kick Zhou Jilong on the butt, and walked through the crowd triumphantly.
