The Amu River runs across almost the entire Central Asian continent. It originates from the Pamir Plateau, passes through many Central Asian countries, and eventually flows into the Aral Sea.

After occupying Tielmez in Tajikistan, Sosa Warhammer immediately led 150,000 cavalry and 50,000 centaur logistics troops to kill west along the north bank of the Amu River.

Along the way, any village and town near the Kem River will be ruthlessly attacked by them.

All players were killed, all the indigenous people surrendered were exiled, helping the Centaur Logistics Army to collect and carry food in the war.

All those who refused to surrender were killed on the spot, and the bodies were thrown directly into the Amu River to feed the fish.

Under the high-pressure attack of Sousa Warhammer, a team of tens of thousands of people soon appeared behind them.

For those surrendered indigenous people, Sosa Warhammer only sent a thousand soldiers from the Centaur Logistics Army to watch over them, and he himself continued to lead the main force of the cavalry to run westward.

After four days of long-distance raid, Sosa Warhammer led the main cavalry to the Turkmenabad area.

Turkmenabad is the second largest population city in Turkmenistan. It is located on the southern bank of the Amu River and guards the main transportation route between Turkmenistan and several northern countries.

After several countries in Central Asia and the Middle East formed an alliance, Turkmenabad became a relatively safe hinterland in the alliance, so there were usually only 10,000 permanent garrison troops responsible for guarding it.

Although after the last ten game days were all over, the players leaders in Central Asia and the Middle East had already learned that the Condor Empire had reached the bank of the Amu River.

But even though they know, they can't complete it in a short time.

Because as the Condor Empire Expeditionary Force reached the Tielmez area and advanced west along the Amu River, most of the upper reaches of the Amu River were gradually shrouded in war clouds.

As the dark clouds of war gradually spread along the Amu River, many urban teleportation arrays located along the Amu River were all invalid.

Without the teleportation array, if the Central Asian and Middle East Alliance wants to stop the army from arriving, it has to walk over.

It is not easy for two-legged infantry to march for a long distance. Food and supplies must be well prepared, otherwise it is likely that the army will collapse directly because of the out of food before it reaches its destination.

Sosa Warhammer knew this very well, so he used the cavalry's advantage in mobility to play a tortoise and hare race against the Central Asian Middle East coalition.

The 150,000 elite cavalry he led were rabbits, and the Central Asian Middle East coalition, which was rushing on his legs, was a turtle.

Their rabbit's destination is the end of the Amu River - the Aral Sea. They will never stop casually until they reach the destination, so the winner of this tortoise and hare race must belong to the rabbit.

......

"Um, you lead two thousand rock sheep cavalry, two thousand elves archers and two thousand camel cavalry crossing the river immediately, and we are here to cover you.

After you go to the other side of the river, your mission is to cut off all the connection between Turkmenabad City and the outside world, and wait for Grand Marshal James to lead the main force of the army and the Somersault Cloud Legion to come.

During this period, I don’t want to see anyone escaping from the city, and I don’t want to see reinforcements entering the city. Do you understand?”

Looking at the tall city across the river, Sosa Warhammer immediately began to dispatch troops.

"Please rest assured that the general, my subordinates promise to surround the city of Turkmenabad. Apart from mosquitoes and flies, no other living creatures can leave the city."

After hearing that Sosa Warhammered his general, Um immediately received thousands of orders.

"Okay, now you cross the river immediately."

Sosa Warhammer pointed directly at some ships docked by the river.

......

"Sir, the Condor Empire cavalry on the other side of the river have begun to board the ship. Should we go out of the city to attack them and give them a half ferry?"

When Sosa Warhammer and others appeared on the other side of the Amu River, the defenders of Turkmenabad City immediately discovered their existence.

At this time, they were standing on the north wall and watching the movements of the black cavalry ocean across the river.

"I'm just trying to hit the enemy, and the enemy is luring us out of the city to fight.

You don't think about where they came from either.

There are more than 400 kilometers from Tielmez to us. On this 400-kilometer-long section, if the enemy wants to cross the river, where can they not cross it? Why do they choose to cross the river in front of us?

Isn’t this just to lure us out of the city and go to the river bank to block them?

There are only more than 10,000 defenders in our city, and the enemies on the other side of the river are overwhelming, with at least one hundred thousand people.

What if these hundreds of thousands of people are not the whole of the enemy?

What if there is a cavalry lying in the distance now?

If we rashly go out of the city to block the enemy by the river, then when the enemy cavalry ambushed in the distance suddenly comes out and blocks us outside the city, wouldn’t we be dead?

Don’t you see that the soldiers of the Condor Empire on the other side of the river are all indigenous people, but the generals who commanded their combat are all old men. Their insidiousness is no worse than our players, so you must not underestimate them, otherwise you will never know how to die.”

The Player City guard in Turkmenabad City was watching the dense cavalry across the river while teaching the player assistants beside him.

Seeing that the army led by Um was about to reach the other side of the river and the enemy in the opposite city did not make any noise, Sosa Warhammer couldn't help but curl his lips helplessly.

The guards of Turkmenabad were really guessed correctly. Sosa Warhammer indeed ambushed two thousand dwarf rock sheep cavalry five kilometers away from the city.

As long as the enemy dares to leave the city to intercept Um and others who are crossing the river, the two thousand dwarfs and rock sheep cavalry will immediately kill and destroy all the enemies who leave the city outside the city.

This is just a small trick on the way to the west. It is best if the enemy is deceived, and it doesn't matter if it is not deceived.

So Sousa Warhammer immediately threw it behind after feeling a little disappointed.

After signaling someone to inform the ambush that the two thousand dwarfs and rock sheep cavalry appeared immediately, Sosa Warhammer led the main force of the cavalry regiment to continue rushing west along the Amu River.

......

Two days later, just as the players and generals in the city were still boasting about how clever they had, the reinforcements they wanted to wait for did not arrive. Instead, the 400,000 troops led by James were the first to come to Turkmenabad.

During this march, James not only brought most of the troops of the Somersault Cloud Legion and the two Orc Legion, but also brought all the soldiers of the 250,000 Tajik Legion.

Faced with the upcoming large-scale counterattack of the enemy, he was preparing to fight the enemy to a desperate battle in several important transportation hub cities on the Amu River.

This time, in order to cooperate with Ningyuan's operations, James prepared to establish a barrier across the East and West along the Amu River, and use the Amu River to divide the Central Asian and Middle East Alliance into two, completely cutting off all connections between the elite enemy army deep into the Kazakh Khanate and the rear.

As long as they can prevent the follow-up troops of those countries south of the Amu River from continuing to move north, Ningyuan will have enough time to eliminate the absolute main force of the enemy army that penetrated the Kazakh Khanate.

As for Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan on the north bank of the Amu River, the remaining armies of these two countries are obviously not enough to attack them from the Amu River or go deep into the Kazakh Khanate to rescue the elite of the alliance.

Because in the border area between Kyrgyzstan and the Condor Empire, hundreds of thousands of troops of the Condor Empire are waiting to go.

Just guarding against the sudden attack by the Condor Empire army there was enough for them to drink a pot, not to mention that there were elite cavalry leaders led by Sosa Warhammer on the Amu River.

As long as the enemy located on the north bank of the Amu River dares to take the initiative, the cavalry led by Sosa Warhammer will launch an uninterrupted harassing attack on them.

A small army is not enough for Sousa Warhammer to get stuck in the teeth. The large group of people can compete with Sousa Warhammer's cavalry regiment, but their bloated logistics will be in great trouble.

Because under the investigation of Seraph scouts, their logistics transport convoy had nowhere to hide.

At that time, as long as their logistics and transportation defense power is insufficient, the cavalry regiment led by Sosa Warhammer will immediately give them the most deadly blow.

So in James's view, as long as the enemy reinforcements from the south bank of the Amu River are blocked, everything on the north bank will be under control.

Among all the oasis cities along the Amu River, Turkmenabad is undoubtedly the most important place, because the river surface here is the smoothest and suitable for crossing the river.

In addition, it is also connected to several of the most important cities in Uzbekistan such as Braha, which is a must-pass place on the ancient Silk Road.

If reinforcements from the Central Asian Middle East coalition want to rescue the elite legion trapped in the Kazakh Khanate as soon as possible, then they must go through the land passage of Turkmenabad.

Therefore, as long as the city of Turkmenabad and several towns in the upper reaches of the river will be kept alive and sighed.

......

When James led the Somersault Cloud Legion to Turkmenabad, not to mention that there were 10,000 defenders in the city, even if there was an additional zero in the back, Turkmenabad could not be defended.

After sending people to measure the wind direction and find the upper limit, James immediately led the Somersault Cloud Legion to start siege.

Half an hour later, more than 10,000 defenders in the city were killed.

This time, James did not contain prisoners of war anymore, because the war was imminent, and he had no energy to deal with those prisoners of war, and he was not at ease to leave these prisoners of war in the city.

After all, these Turkmenistan prisoners of war are very different from those of Tajikistan.

This time James led his army to the city, there was no plan to annex the entire Turkmenistan, so it was difficult for him to truly return the prisoners of war in Turkmenistan in a short period of time.

Unlike Tajikistan's prisoners of war, they have all paid their letters of title, and Tajikistan has become the Tajikistan state of the Condor Empire.

As long as there is no major change, these Tajik soldiers who have been renamed the Tajik Legion will not easily betray the Condor Empire, and Turkmenistan prisoners of war may rebel at any time.

So in order to make it happen once and for all, James did not give them a chance to surrender and directly ordered the army to destroy them all in the city.

After capturing Turkmenabad, James immediately organized an army to strengthen, raise and widen the city.

He left half of the Somersault Cloud Legion and half of the Orc Legion, and two hundred thousand Tajik soldiers, and then asked Pedro to lead other troops to continue along the Amu River to help Sousa Warhammer to guide some cities in the lower Amu River.

......

After leaving Turkmenabad, Sousa Warhammer had a smooth journey, and almost all the towns on the north bank of the Amu River collapsed in one blow.

This time, Sosa Warhammer did not force the surrender of the indigenous people to follow the army, but would leave a hundred cavalry to stay after capturing a city.

One hundred cavalry sounded small, but even fewer.

However, at this time, no one dared to underestimate these hundred cavalry on the north bank of the Amu River, because facing the fully armed hundred cavalry, even if one thousand people were sent to attack, it might not be their opponent.

At this time, the gap between elite and non-elite emerged completely.

These elite cavalry of the Condor Empire are not only stronger in personal strength and combat qualities than those non-elite troops, but their weapons and equipment are far more than all non-elite troops and even elite troops here.

In Guda, why do many powerful countries have only tens of thousands of expeditionary troops, but with these tens of thousands of people, they can defeat hundreds of thousands of enemies and conquer one country after another?

The answer is very simple. These tens of thousands of people are actually the absolute elite who gather most of the strategic resources of the entire country.

They are all elite soldiers selected by thousands of people. The country equips them with the best quality war horses and the most advanced weapons and equipment.

Not only do they far surpass the enemy in strength, they also crush the enemy in weapons and equipment.

Although it is difficult for them to fight against a hundred, it is easy to fight against a hundred thousand.

Because they can kill one-tenth of the enemy with just one charge, and due to their equipment advantage, it is difficult for the enemy to hurt their bodies in a short period of time.

As one goes up and down, it only takes two or three charges to scare the enemy and defeat the enemy.

This is basically the case with Sosa Warhammer along the way.

Before the main force arrived, the vanguard army responsible for taking the lead had defeated one enemy after another, so they reached the lower reaches of the Amu River almost unimpeded along the way.

There are four major cities along the lower reaches of the Amu River, namely Urgenchi, Dashoguz and Yulongjiechi on the south bank, and Nukus on the north bank.
