Chapter 1555 Battle on the Northern Front

"Your Majesty, we found out!"

The four Khans were no longer worried at this time and began to offer their contributions to Sun Lei.

"what's the situation?"

Sun Lei asked as he looked at them with a frown.

"Yelü Dashi used the formula for gunpowder and Imadedin to exchange for these 10,000 slave soldiers."

Several people spoke up.

"Gunpowder formula?"

Sun Lei frowned, this was the real bad news.

"Humph!"

Sun Lei snorted coldly and walked away.

"Lock them all up!"

Zhu Wu ordered the soldiers around him that these four Khans were also captives and could not be left alone.

The cleanup of the battlefield was proceeding in an orderly manner. There were too many prisoners, so Zhu Wu had to order the construction of another prison camp.

The battlefield cleanup continued until the next day.

"Your Majesty, the head count has been completed! We have captured 195,170 people! We have seized more than 210,000 war horses, countless armors and weapons, and food and fodder..."

Zhu Wu reported to Sun Lei.

"Is everything settled?"

Sun Lei looked at Zhu Wu and asked.

"It has been handled. The prisoners have been detained in batches, and the food and fodder have been distributed. The prisoners are ready to be escorted to Guazhou so that they can build roads."

Zhu Wu opened his mouth and said that the road from Guazhou to the Western Regions had been abandoned for many years and needed a major repair. As for why the repair started from Guazhou, it was because many tools needed to be transported from the Central Plains.

"Well, let's do it this way. The army is ready to march to Gaochang City. I don't know what's going on with Sun Li and Du Fu!"

Sun Lei nodded and said that the next step was to recapture all the cities in the Western Regions and make them part of Qi’s territory.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Wu accepted the order.

North of Tianshan Mountains.

The Mongolian and Wanggu tribes were attacking the enemies in front of them.

"Anbahai, do you really want to fight to the death with my Naiman tribe?"

The elderly Khan Yilan roared at Ambaghai in the distance, saying that since the Kerait tribe was destroyed last year, the Mongolian and Wanggu tribes had jointly attacked his Naiman tribe, and they could not resist and could only retreat to the north of the Tianshan Mountains in the Western Regions.

Yinan Khan originally wanted the Gaochang Uighurs to support them, but the Gaochang Uighurs refused to send troops on the grounds that they had to deal with the State of Qi, and just asked them to persist.

Since the beginning of spring, the offensives of the Mongolian and Wanggu tribes have gradually slowed down, as if they were running out of steam, which has changed the situation of the Naiman tribe.

After a fierce battle, the Mongolian and Wanggu tribes retreated.

"Uncle, the Naiman tribe is still resisting fiercely. We can't break in."

Hu Tu stabbed his mouth and said.

"Let's just fight like this. We have already lost too many warriors. If we really attack fiercely, I'm afraid more than half of us will be killed or injured."

I Bahai opened his mouth and said.

"Uncle, it's not a good idea to keep wasting time like this. The casualties are increasing. We might as well solve it all at once. Besides, Qi has already urged us to do this. If we do this, I'm afraid Qi will retaliate against us!"

Heanda said.

"The decisive battle should have begun in Qi State. There are more than 500,000 Western Liao troops! Can Sun Lei win this time?"

An Bahai said that if Sun Lei lost, they would be in danger. If there were too many casualties now, the Western Liao army would come and they would be wiped out.

"But if Qi wins, we won't have a good ending! It's hard to deal with both sides, we have to choose one. We have paid so much, if we give up now, all our efforts will be wasted!"

He Anda continued, since they surrendered to Qi, they have invested too much in the attacks along the way.

"Wait a minute!" Anbahai still spoke, his decision concerned the future of the Mongolian tribe.

"Report, Chief, something happened in the south! Western Liao was defeated, Qi won a great victory!"

A soldier hurriedly ran into the tent and shouted.

"What? So fast!"

  An Bahai's face changed. The decisive battle should have just started a few days ago. How could a war involving more than 500,000 people end so quickly?

"How could the 500,000-man Western Liao army be defeated so quickly?"

Hutuci looked at the soldiers and asked, he also didn't believe that the 500,000-strong Western Liao army would be defeated so quickly.

"The two sides fought a decisive battle in the Hami River Valley! The two sides fought for a day and a night, and the result was that Qi won a great victory. Juer Khan of Western Liao was captured alive, and the four khans under his command were also captured alive..."

The soldiers hurriedly reported the situation.

"It's over in one day and night?"

My father's face looked even uglier. He didn't dare to think about how to fight such a battle with 500,000 enemies, but Sun Lei solved the battle in just one day and one night.

"Come here, gather the troops and follow me to kill!"

An Bahai shouted orders to the soldiers outside the tent.

The sound of the horn instantly resounded throughout the entire military camp, and the soldiers who had just rested immediately went out of the camp and lined up vigilantly.

"Pass the order, we must break through the Naiman camp today, follow me and kill!"

An Bahai looked at the assembled army and spoke without further ado.

The soldiers' faces changed when they heard the order. This was a death order. They had not received such an order for a long time since the intense war.

The Mongolian army attacked the Naiman tribe. The Wanggu tribe on the other side also got the news and led their troops to attack as well.

The Naiman tribe knew nothing yet. When they saw the enemy coming, they thought it would be just a fight like before. But after the fight, they realized that something was not right. The enemy was fighting for their lives.

"Father Khan! Something is wrong!"

Buyilu looked at Yinan Khan and shouted that the enemy's attack this time was too fierce.

"Father Khan, retreat quickly!"

Bai Buhua was already scared out of his wits. They couldn't withstand such an attack from the enemy at all.

"withdraw!"

Yinan Khan immediately ordered a retreat.

But the Mongolian and Wanggu tribes have already received death orders. The Naiman tribe must be destroyed in this battle, and the battle must end today.

An Bahai was anxiously commanding the army. He was very anxious now. He was worried that if he moved too slowly, Sun Lei would be dissatisfied, which would lead to severe punishment.

The battle lasted until dark. The Mongolian and Wanggu tribes finally broke through the Naiman camp after attacking regardless of casualties.

"Anbahai, we are all men from the grasslands. Why do you want to join the people of the Central Plains? Do you really want to be traitors to the grasslands?"

Yinan Khan looked at Anbahai and shouted that he had been captured now, but he still stared at Anbahai. The balance of the grassland was broken because of the betrayal of the Mongolian tribe.

"Since when did the term traitor become popular on the grassland? The grassland has always been a place where the strong are respected. Qi is powerful, so what's wrong with us submitting to it? But you, an old stubborn man, deserve the demise of the Naiman tribe!"

An Bahai said disdainfully that there was no such thing as loyalty, righteousness, integrity and shame on the grassland, and here the strong were the rules.

"Put them all in the prison van and send them to Gaochang City!"

An Bahai didn't want to waste any more time and immediately gave orders to the soldiers.

"Gaochang City!"

  Yinan Khan's face changed drastically. Gaochang City was the capital of Gaochang Uighurs. What was the meaning of sending them to Gaochang City?

"You may not know that Qi has already defeated Western Liao, and His Majesty the Emperor is about to arrive in Gaochang City."

Anbahai looked at Yinan Khan and spoke.

"Impossible, Juer Khan has an army of 500,000!"

Khan Yinan roared, he bet everything on this battle. As long as Western Liao won, their Naiman tribe would be able to rise again.

"You'll know when you go there!"

With a wave of Anbahai's hand, Yinan Khan and others were put into the prison car.
