At Yumen Pass, the Han army cleaned up the battlefield, cleared up the broken walls, and built the city wall.

Chu Tian counted the legions that went to Luntai City in the Western Regions.

The main force of this expedition to Luntai was the Guards Corps, with only about 150,000 troops dispatched. In addition, there were 80,000 offensive Corps from Jizhou, and 50,000 Iron Wall Corps assisting in the defense in Jiuquan County.

The Thorn Slashing Legion was severely injured by the Mongolian Army, Zhang He was injured, and more than half of the Euphorbia soldiers and Xiandeng dead were killed. They temporarily rested at Yumen Pass, waiting for the rear to replenish troops and horses, and at the same time served as the second batch of expeditionary troops to support Luntai—if the first batch The expeditionary army is not fighting well, and the second batch of expeditionary forces will enter the Western Regions to fight a decisive battle with the remnants of the Mongol Empire.

This is also the advantage of the Han Empire.

The Han Empire has a huge population, so as long as the cost is spared, reinforcements can continue to leave Yumen Pass and go to the Western Regions.

There is no doubt about Feng Yi's ability.

...

Feng Yi was originally talking about Tang generals,

After Chutian's lobbying (brainwashing), and the unprecedented crisis facing the Han Empire, Feng Yi is willing to command troops to fight to keep the Han Empire.

Feng Yi was one of the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai in the Eastern Han Dynasty, so influenced by the characteristics of "Hanwu", it was easy to pledge allegiance to Chutian. At the same time, Feng Yi is also willing to keep the Han Empire, which is important to him.

In general, Feng Yi's abilities are relatively comprehensive, he can advance, attack, retreat and defend, and there is not much to criticize.

Chu Tian was relatively relieved to leave Feng Yi to guard the Yumen Pass, and as the second batch of legions to support the Western Regions.

"You don't keep Mulan or Jeanne at home, just in case, I mean in case, no one will be able to take care of Wu'er and Xuan'er in the future..."

Xia Liang was still worried about her child before the soldiers sent to Yumen Pass.

"Isn't Rou Fu watching at home?"

"She lacks means, Wu'er and Xuan'er are following her, I'm afraid she's going to live on the street..."

Xia Liang rolled his eyes.

With Roufu Diji's ability, it might be very difficult for her to earn a living, let alone take care of her two children.

"Even if it's Mulan or Joan of Arc, they have no other abilities except marching and fighting. We don't need to think too much. We will definitely return to Xia City safely..."

Chu Tian calmed Xia Liang's mood a little.

This expedition to the Western Regions may be the farthest one so far. Temujin's military generals are gathered there, and a big war may break out at any time, and even Chutian may die in battle.

During the Battle of Yumen Pass, Huangfusong and Zhang Ji were among the generals who died in battle, and countless generals were injured.

The battle of the Western Regions was extremely dangerous.

Chu Tian and Xia Liang walked side by side outside the Yumen Pass. Not far away, the catapults of the Mongolian army were burned down, still emitting a small amount of black smoke.

Hua Mulan and Joan of Arc followed behind. This is the treatment of the main palace. Although the two of them are a little envious, they both got Xia Liang's support before entering the Lord's Mansion, and they didn't dare to expect too much.

"Old Qin's Guanzhong Army has arrived!"

There was a commotion among the defenders of Yumen Pass, Jiujiu Lao Qin came to Yumen Pass in person after severely injuring Xixia King Li Yuanhao!

Maybe Jiujiu Lao Qin also realized Temujin's strategic intentions, so he had to speed up the suppression of the Xixia Kingdom and personally led troops to Yumen Pass.

"Yumen Pass is so... dilapidated."

Jiujiu old Qin witnessed the Yumen Pass after the war for the first time, and was shocked by the tragic situation of Yumen Pass.

His reaction was almost exactly the same as when Chu Tian arrived.

Tens of thousands of soldiers of the Han army died at Yumen Pass.

Jia Xu, the conspirator next to Lao Qin, was dressed in black and was not moved when he saw the dilapidated Yumen Pass.

"Old Qin."

Xu Fengnian really didn't want to see this enemy.

But this time all parties joined forces to sweep the Western Regions, and had to temporarily put aside past grievances.

Xu Fengnian has realized that Jiujiu Lao Qin deliberately kept him in Dunhuang and Jiuquan to guard against the Mongol Empire.

He was used once by Jiu Jiu Lao Qin.

"I will submit a form to the imperial court and canonize all the soldiers who died in battle."

Jiu Jiu Lao Qin was indifferent to Xu Fengnian's resentment against him.

Behind Jiujiu Lao Qin, two fierce generals, Lu Bu and Yang Dayan followed each other.

Both of them were peerless generals, among them, Lu Bu's armor still had a little solidified blood. It was obvious that he had just experienced a big battle and was immediately transferred to Yumen Pass.

"Where is Chu Zimou? The Mongolian army that besieged Yumen Pass has withdrawn, so Chu Zimou must have arrived, right?"

Based on the status of the Yumen Pass defenders, Lao Qin soon realized that Chu Tian had arrived at Yumen Pass ahead of schedule.

Xu Fengnian said: "He and his women are walking outside Yumen Pass..."

"Young boy, really enviable."

Jiu Jiu Lao Qin seemed to think of something and just shook his head.

Xu Fengnian and Jiu Jiu Lao Qin didn't have any objection to Chutian bringing his wives to the Western Regions for an expedition, and they didn't think Chutian was here for fun.

Chutian's women are better at fighting than the other. If they offend them, they will die miserably.

Zhao Long is an example.

"How many soldiers and horses did you bring?"

"One hundred thousand, plus Zhu Jun's 50,000, a total of 150,000. There are still some troops besieging Yinzhou, the royal city of Xixia Kingdom, and Li Yuanhao only has one city left. Some of my troops need to defend the Hexi Corridor, and even I also need to leave some troops to guard against the Xiqiang in Liangzhou. I don’t trust Zhang Dao in Hanzhong..."

Jiu Jiu Lao Qin told his plan.

"Western Qiang is not a climate, so why care?"

"Ming Pass in Liaodong despised the Fuyu Kingdom. As a result, the famous general Lu Xiangsheng and Tianxiong's army were wiped out. I can't repeat the same mistakes."

Jiu Jiu Lao Qin seems to be worried about Xi Qiang.

Xiqiang also once established a powerful kingdom.

"You're still the same, taking everything into account."

Xu Fengnian was not very willing to confront Jiu Lao Qin. Lao Qin was the oldest among the princes, and he was smooth and impeccable. It was quite uncomfortable to be an enemy of such a person.

However, if Lao Qin is an ally, sometimes it is quite reliable.

Chu Tian came back from outside the customs and met Jiu Jiu Lao Qin, and the two joined forces again.

Lao Qin went out in person, and at the same time hoarded heavy troops in Wuwei County to prevent Temujin from cutting off the Hexi Corridor again.

"Wang Jian is the main general, Meng Tian is the deputy general, and Qin Ruishi and the Golden Fire Cavalry are the main force. Zhu Jun leads the army alone."

Lao Qin pointed out his chief general and deputy general.

He sent Wang Jian and Meng Tian to show that he would not fish in troubled waters.

Lao Qin divided his troops and deployed them in the Helan Mountains, the Hexi Corridor, the Xiqiang Tribes, and Guanzhong. His considerations were actually quite comprehensive.

The Qiang tribe in Liangzhou is a threat. The Xixia royal city in Helan Mountain still needs time to besieged. The Hexi Corridor must be prevented from being cut off by Temujin. Guanzhong also needs soldiers to control the emperor and guard against sneak attacks by Hanzhong leaders.

Lao Qin noticed Sun Bin and Tian Ji behind Chu Tian, ​​and Tian Ji was a little embarrassed.

After all, Tian Ji took refuge in Lao Qin before, but was abducted by Sun Bin...

Tian Ji would probably be buried in the talented Chutian camp, but in Lao Qin's camp, there were fewer generals in the old Qin and his status would be relatively higher. However, Tian Ji seemed to prefer to be a low-key general.

Or, Tian Ji lacked his own opinions and was kidnapped by his good friend Sun Bin at once.

Lao Qin could only express his dissatisfaction, but he could not change the fact that Tian Ji took refuge in Chutian.

Chu Tian joins forces with Jiu Jiu Lao Qin and Xu Fengnian to support Huo An. First of all, Dunhuang County must be recovered and the passage to the Western Regions must be opened.

Sun Bin said to Chu Tian: "If Temujin uses the teleportation array in Dunhuang County to go to the Western Regions, it can prove that Temujin intends to lure us to the Western Regions. Otherwise, Temujin is eager to attack Luntai and will definitely defend in Dunhuang."

The Han army hoarded enough food and grass in Yumen Pass, and the cavalry who went to Dunhuang County to investigate turned back.

"The Mongolian army has withdrawn from Dunhuang!"

"as expected."

Temujin gave up the Hexi Corridor, and his intention was already obvious.

"Urgent report, the teleportation array from Jiuquan County to Luntai City, the governor of the Western Regions Protectorate, has failed!"

Chu Tian, ​​Lao Qin, and Xu Fengnian planned to send troops to the Western Regions, but Luntai City lost news.

There are only two possibilities. First, Luntai City was captured by the Mongolian army; second, Luntai City was besieged, and the communication system between the teleportation array and the players failed.

No matter which possibility it is, it is not a good thing in the eyes of Chu Tian, ​​a group of princes who intend to go to rescue the Protectorate of the Western Regions.

The failure of the teleportation array in Luntai City meant that the expeditionary forces of the Han Empire had to travel thousands of miles across the Gobi, deserts, and oases.

The cost of the expedition was unacceptable to Chu Tian, ​​Lao Qin and others.

Before Temujin retreated from Dunhuang County, he had already confirmed that Luntai City was under siege, so he left calmly.

The city of Luntai was besieged, and the expeditionary force of the Han Empire could not be directly sent to Luntai, and the supply line of the Han Empire army was stretched.

"Huo An has been running Luntai for many years, so it shouldn't be easy for Luntai to fall, most likely because he was besieged by Mongolian cavalry."

"Besides Luntai, which other large city teleportation arrays in the Western Regions are open?"

"Get in touch!"

Chu Tian ordered some aliens in charge of intelligence to try to inquire about the teleportation array that can be used.

Unless there is a teleportation array, the cost of the expedition is too high.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent Li Guangli to expedition to the Dawan Kingdom with tens of thousands of people, which cost a lot of money. This time, the Han Empire sent hundreds of thousands of reinforcements, and the logistical pressure increased tenfold!

There are not many large cities in the Western Regions. Once all the large cities are besieged or captured by the Mongolian cavalry, it will be difficult to retake the Western Regions.

"I hope there are still large cities in the Western Regions under the control of Huo An's forces."

Jiu Jiu Lao Qin also knew the importance of it.

What restricted the Han Empire from exerting its advantages in national power was its geographical location and terrain, which was also the main reason why Temujin chose to compete in the Western Regions.

Soon, someone else inquired about the situation of the teleportation array in the Western Regions.

"All the large cities in the Western Regions have been surrounded or captured by the Mongolian cavalry. The teleportation arrays have failed, and the Western Regions have completely lost contact!"

The unfavorable news moved all the princes of the Han Empire and the Han army.

Temujin of the Mongol Empire had made all the preparations and forced the expeditionary force of the Han Empire to start from Dunhuang and go on foot to rescue the Protectorate of the Western Regions.

It is extremely expensive to march on foot without relying on the teleportation array.

The Han army may encounter a surprise attack by Mongolian cavalry at any time on the vast desert and Gobi!

"No, there is still a medium-sized city that has not fallen!"

"What's the use of a medium-sized city..."

"This medium-sized city can be upgraded to a large city at any time, but Huo An has never upgraded this city!"

"Huo An stayed behind!?"

Chu Tian, ​​Lao Qin and Xu Fengnian, who were originally disappointed, were all startled.

Huo An kept a medium-sized city without a teleportation formation, but could be upgraded to a large-scale city at any time. He fooled Temujin and opened up a passage for the Han army to expedition to the Western Regions!

"Huo An controls the countries in the Western Regions, among which Cheshi Kingdom is located in the Turpan Basin, guarding the key points, connecting Loulan and Shanshan in the south, Yanqi and Luntai in the west, and Wusun in the northwest."

"Because the position of the Cheshi Kingdom is too important, Huo An sent his henchmen to rule the Cheshi Kingdom. Upgrade the Cheshi King City to a large city and open the teleportation array. Even if the wheel platform is besieged, as long as there are no enemy soldiers near the Cheshi King City , then it can be sent to Che Shi Country!"

Chu Tian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he learned that Cheshi King City in the Western Regions could open a large city immediately.

A pawn left by Huo An has had a crucial impact on reversing the situation in the Western Regions!

"We should march as soon as possible, otherwise, once the Mongolian cavalry attack Cheshi Kingdom and approach the king's city, all teleportation arrays in the Western Region will be invalid, and the consequences are self-evident."

"exactly!"

Chu Tian, ​​Jiu Jiu Lao Qin, and Xu Fengnian knew that time was not waiting for them.

Once the teleportation arrays in all the large cities in the Western Regions fail, the Han army will have to march along the Silk Road, through the Gobi and deserts with a large number of grain vehicles and water sources, and the consequences will be disastrous.

More than 300,000 Han troops assembled outside Yumen Pass. They will recover Dunhuang County, and then send them to Cheshi Kingdom one by one from Dunhuang County, and then set off from Cheshi Kingdom to relieve the siege of Luntai City.

Among them, 150,000 guards from Chutian, 150,000 from the old Qin army (including Zhu Jun's army), and 30,000 from Xiliang army from Xu Fengnian.

Although Xu Fengnian's troops are not many, but there are a group of brave generals who are also a rare force.

Countless elite soldiers of the Han Empire marched towards Dunhuang County with their banners and banners unfurled!

"Yellow sand wears golden armor in a hundred battles, and if you don't break Loulan, you will never return it."

Chutian rode the famous horse Jueying, standing on the Gobi hills, overlooking the Han army marching westward.

Instead of being full of enthusiasm, there is a heavy sense of tragedy.

A general dies in a hundred battles, and a strong man returns after ten years.
