Valley Emperor

After the rise of the Tang Dynasty more than 20 years ago, not only did the Ming Dynasty collapse soon after, but even the fate of the Tatars has undergone tremendous changes.

More than ten years ago, the Tatars were invited to the south to help the Ming army, and successively launched the Liangshanji Campaign and the Anping Campaign in the Shandong area and the Tang army. At that time, tens of thousands of Tatar cavalry were shot by the guns of the Tang Dynasty.

Since then, the Tatars have suffered from Tang phobia and gun phobia.

From that time on, the Tatars never tried to use cavalry to attack Datang's infantry phalanx. Even during the later Hetao Battle, the only large-scale field diplomatic battle between the two sides was only the cavalry of the two sides. However, the Tatars never used cavalry to fight the Datang's infantry phalanx, and they mainly attacked the grain road.

It was also from that time that the Tartars were trying their best to equip guns and guns. If they couldn’t buy them, they would grab them. Books, especially mechanical books related to artillery, and more importantly, direct looting of artisans.

In the early years, the favorite thing for the Tatar spies was to kidnap the craftsmen of the Datang arsenal and transport them to the grassland. It is said that these spies can get a lot of rewards even if they don't kidnap a single one.

At the same time, after the Tatars moved westward, they successively conquered a series of khanates in the Western Regions such as the Tubo Khanate, and plundered many craftsmen in the process, and since then began the process of self-made guns.

After so many years, the Tatars have actually popularized the equipment of guns and guns. Although the guns and guns are still relatively backward in terms of primitive arquebuses and artillery with a medium diameter, they are equipped with guns anyway.

Don't you think that the current Tatars are still cavalry who can only wield sabers and bows and arrows on horseback. They are cavalry, infantry, artillery, and even auxiliary arms such as baggage, all of which are all people's troops.

Now the reason why the Tatars are not all over the world shouting that they are the world's boss, number one, is because there is still a Great Tang king in the east pressing them.

Rao is that they are equipped with a lot of guns, but in the Western Regions they are still defeated by the Datang Army. Almost every year, the Datang Army's army in the northwest will launch a westward expedition in the nature of training, with a scale of more than 10,000 people. , as many as tens of thousands, and every year the Tatars find that no matter how hard they try, they can't beat them.

In the end, they simply gave up large-scale resistance, and adopted the tactic of the enemy advancing and retreating, and the enemy retreating and advancing. Anyway, Datang, who was out of the fortress, was very dependent on logistical supplies, and it was impossible to stay for a long time after the expedition. Yes, so the Tartars simply ran away and let them attack, and when the Tang army had eaten up the supplies and retreated, they would come back.

Anyway, the Tatars are nomads, riding on horses and running fast, but they can't beat or run!

However, the Tatars are only wronged in the east, and on other fronts, they are very smooth!

Since they moved westward, they fought in Central Asia, and successively destroyed a large number of Khanate tribes such as the Oara tribe, the Tubo Khanate, the Yarkand Khanate, and the Kazakh Khanate!

The word "countless extermination of the country" is used to describe them, and that is not an exaggeration at all!

After more than ten years of expansion, the area actually controlled by the Tatars is already very large. Its control area includes almost the entire Western Regions, and has also seized a large amount of Central Asia from the Mughal Empire.

In the southwest, it borders the territories of the Safi dynasty and the Ottoman Empire, while the northeast borders Russia, and the west borders the Commonwealth of Poland and Lithuania!

It's interesting that the Tatars are at war with almost all their neighbors!

So far the Tatars have fought simultaneously with the Tang Empire, the Mughal Empire, the Safi Dynasty, the Ottoman Empire, Russia, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.

Of course, although the Tartars were at war with each of the above dynasties, there was a priority!

Who was the main enemy of the Tatars?

There is no doubt that it is definitely the Tang Empire. In recent years, even when other fronts are tight, the Tatars have never mobilized their 100,000 elite main force deployed on the eastern front.

In order to resist the Great Tang Western Expedition, the Tatars deployed more than 100,000 troops in the Western Regions, and these 100,000 troops were not cannon fodder, but were all elite troops. The elite cavalry under the main force of Wanhu constituted 60,000 elite cavalry.

Then there are infantry and artillery, which are selected from the various conquered nations, and are composed of soldiers who are willing to work for the Tatars.

Without these 100,000 troops stationed in the Western Regions, no matter how difficult it was for the Tang Army to supply supplies, they would have already occupied the Western Regions, and they could still be dragged there to this day!

On other fronts, the Tatars are also divided into primary and secondary. Among them, on the northern battlefield, they did not invest much troops at all, at most only a few thousand main headquarters, with a large number of cannon fodder from the conquered areas. The soldiers fought against the Mughal Empire, and that's it, the Mughal Empire almost couldn't resist, or the Tang Empire supported a batch of armors, swords, and even arquebuses and artillery from the Mughal Empire. The mountainous area blocked the invasion of the Tatars.

The Mughals also paid a heavy price for this. After all, the Tang arms dealers were famous for their black hearts. Not only was the money paid, but the Tang Dynasty also forced the Mughal Empire to promise that it would no longer send money to the central and southern regions of Yu. Expansion can only be maintained in the territory of the northern region.

In the Persian region and the West Asian region controlled by the Ottoman Empire, the Tatars still invested a lot of troops at the beginning, wanting to kill the Mediterranean, but the Tatars soon discovered that this place has a characteristic, that is, desolation It's very, most areas are not only sand or sand, the water and grass are abundant, and there are not many areas suitable for grazing.

So in the end, they simply didn't focus on occupying land, but changed to plundering.

So what is their purpose?

There is no doubt that it is Eastern Europe, and Europe as a whole!

The reason why the Tatars made up their minds to go west at first was to capture the entire European plain, and even the entire European plain. In the eyes of the Tatars, that place was the most suitable place in the world for them to live.

The water and grass are rich, and there is a very important point, that is, it is far enough from the Tang Dynasty!

The Tatars would rather run thousands of miles away than be neighbors with the Tang Dynasty.

To be Datang's neighbor, it's really too embarrassing.

Who the **** did the Tatars offend, that they had a neighbor like Datang?

If you can't fight and you can't fight, if you want to ask for a truce, people will not agree, so you have to fight!

Damn, those heartbroken Tang people are so full of conquest of the world that their Tatars can't even make tributes.

They all call themselves the Golden State of the Tang Dynasty, and Altan Khan all call themselves ministers in the book, calling Li Xuan your majesty, and then all kinds of young and beautiful women have given away an unknown amount. In order to please Li Xuan, the Tartars even He has done sending small-scale elite cavalry, just to sneak into Eastern Europe and loot the noble girls in the Crab Continent, and then cross the Eurasian continent and send them to the Tang Dynasty.

Not to mention noble girls from other countries, even if they were noble girls from the Tatars themselves, those with outstanding looks were basically sent to the Tang Dynasty.

They always thought that there was a woman who could fascinate Li Xuan, and then persuaded Li Xuan to give up the western expedition, even if it was a western expedition, but don't catch their Tatars to fight, there are many tribes in the west. The thing is, isn't there a Mughal Empire on this side? If not, there is a Safi dynasty farther away. You said that I was your way.

As long as the war can be completely stopped, the Tatars will give up the entire Western Regions, and you will retreat to Central Asia.

However, Li Xuan swallowed the tribute and the woman in one bite, and then he should fight or fight every year!

What a shame for the Tatars!

The Datang people are wild and unreasonable, and being neighbors with such people is simply bad luck for eight lifetimes, so these years, the Tatars have always wanted to stay away from the Datang people.

Want to go to Eastern Europe or even Western Europe!

They don't just think so, they do it too!

In the twenty-sixth year of Xuanping, after years of preparation, the Tatars, who had been tossing and fighting in Central Asia with the Ottoman Empire and the Safi Dynasty, began to change their strategies, quietly mobilized their troops to the west, and even risked drawing them from the east. part of the troops.

In summer, the Western Front army of the Tatars, which received reinforcements and supplements, officially launched the offensive!

Unlike the previous small-scale invasions, which were mainly plundering, this time the Tartars only dispatched more than 100,000 troops, and even brought more than 100,000 ordinary people and a large number of swollen horses and other livestock.

This time they went to Eastern Europe, and they didn't plan to leave!

After crossing the Volga River~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The Tatars divided into two groups, all the way northwards into the territory of Russia, all the way to Moscow, although the army going north was only 50,000 people, but they were all troops.

The remaining tens of thousands of troops, more than 100,000 ordinary people, and a large number of livestock continue to slowly move westward. What is their purpose?

Where else could it be, of course, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, which occupies the vast Ukrainian plain to the west!

In the face of the Tatars invading Eastern Europe, Europe was extremely panic, because they all remembered the scene when the Mongols invaded Europe.

In fact, when the main force of the Tatars had not yet entered the territory of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, when they were still in the Volga River area, the relevant news had already begun to spread to Europe.

Because the actions of the Tatars this time are really too big, the total number of soldiers and civilians is nearly 300,000!

This scale of recruitment is definitely not just a wave of looting and then retreating as before. They are planning to occupy Eastern Europe for a long time.

In the face of the huge threat of the Tatars, even Russia and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, which have always been enemies of each other, have united with each other to try to resist the invasion of the Tatars!

But can they stop it?

It's hard to say if they haven't fought yet, but before they did, they were already in a panic.

Because the reputation of the Tartars has come out, and they not only have a huge cavalry corps, but also widely equipped with guns, and they are equipped with so many guns, I am afraid that this year, except for the Tang Army, no one can compare. !

That is to say, the population of their headquarters is small, even if the whole people are soldiers, there are not many people, otherwise, they would have already overthrown Europe!

However, even if the headquarters has a small population, few troops, and is facing multi-front battles, the Tatars still make the whole of Europe panic!
