Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family
Chapter 582: The Collapse of Faith and the Destruction of the Golden Horde
The former empire's westward expedition army brought the most advanced scientific and technological achievements from the East this time. They knew this, and the gap could be seen from the comparison of the most basic weapons and equipment of both sides.
"Brothers, let's go together and see what's going on!" Belgo said.
The other princes and generals of the Golden Horde all nodded with heavy faces, and then everyone followed Berke, left the tent, came to the top of the mountain, and saw a scene that they would never forget in their lives!
The tent where Batu lived was the safest one, located in an open area in the center of a mountain valley, where he could attack or defend.
Because there is a secret passage going down the mountain, which is behind the mountain. If you want to go around it, you have to go around for at least hundreds of miles, as this mountain range is quite huge.
At this time, in the sky, ten hot air balloons of the Daqian Empire's Western Expedition Army took off collectively, and the huge hot air balloon slowly flew to the top of the mountain.
This time the hot air balloon flew at a somewhat adventurous altitude, reaching a height of one thousand meters that they had never reached before.
The height at which the hot air balloon took off was somewhat dangerous, but fortunately it was daytime and the sky was clear, and the hot air balloon did not carry anything like explosives.
Because the distance is really not enough, the peaks in the valley are seven or eight hundred meters high, and some famous mountains and rivers are thousands or even tens of thousands of meters high, so hot air balloons cannot cross them.
Reducing the weight to the minimum, inflating the hot air balloon to its maximum size, and flying it high into the sky so that the soldiers on the top of the mountain can see it can already cause tremendous psychological pressure on them.
"Is this the flying artifact? It can be seen so clearly in the sky, and people can actually sit on it and fly so high!" A prince of the Golden Horde said with a grim expression.
They had received intelligence about this flying artifact before, but the intelligence said that it could only fly a few dozen feet high and could not reach the height of the mountain.
But now, they were standing on the top of the mountain, and this flying artifact could actually fly over their heads.
This is a bit too terrifying. Zhang Yong’s flying artifact, that black thing, doesn’t seem to be able to fly so high!
"Could it be that they are going to fly to the sky? Are they really the messengers of Eternal Heaven?" said a soldier who believed in Allah.
No matter which sect, no matter which god one believes in, there is a conclusion within the sect that God lives in heaven and one can see God as long as one flies to heaven.
(Of course, every sect attempts to do one thing, which is to explain what happens after death. I won’t go into detail about the right to interpret death, as it will easily lead to being blocked.)
"Oh God! This is really God!" At this time, a large number of Golden Horde soldiers knelt on the ground. Unlike the Daqian Empire's westward expedition army, the Golden Horde was basically a nation of believers in Allah.
For this thing that could fly to heights that they could not understand, they had only awe in their hearts, nothing else.
At this time, even some officers and princes of the Golden Horde changed their expressions and didn't know what to say.
Receiving intelligence and knowing about this kind of flying artifact is one thing, but actually touching it and truly seeing it is another scene.
At this time, a large number of Golden Horde soldiers had even laid down their weapons, completely forgetting what they should do now, forgetting that they were guarding the valley, and forgetting that they were guarding the important road.
The Daqian Empire's western expedition army was lined up in neat formation, marching in uniform steps, and slowly began to advance towards the valley.
We won't give you time to react. This is a war, and we're not kidding you.
A large number of musketeers followed the team, and in addition, they also carried large heavy artillery and mountain cannons.
This mountain cannon was specially developed for the terrain of the Golden Horde. It is easy to carry. Although it is not very powerful, only two or three soldiers can carry it away.
Soon, mountain cannons were set up and launched an attack on some Golden Horde soldiers guarding important roads.
"Warriors of the Ogedei family, the Jinzhang Khanate was treacherous. During the reign of Khan Ogedei, they looked down on our Ogedei family, and Khan Guyuk was even more so.
Now you dare to cut off the tongue of our prince and humiliate him greatly!
This is something that our Ogedei family cannot tolerate, and the warriors must pay with blood." Hedan raised his saber and shouted loudly.
The flying artifacts are really awesome. If there are 10 big guys flying into the sky, it would be much more shocking if only Kobe flies up one or two of them.
With this thing, you will be invincible in battle! This is a fatal blow to the faith of some ordinary grassroots soldiers.
"Kill! Kill! We have the help of heaven and the help of gods and men."
"Gods in heaven are all brothers standing on our side. Charge forward, charge forward and defeat them."
"Hahaha! Don't let the people of Ogedei's family take all the credit. Warriors, follow me and we will charge forward too." Soldiers from other Mongolian tribes also waved their sabers and shouted loudly.
A large number of the Daqian Empire's Western Expedition troops began to rush up the valley. The sword and shield soldiers were in the front row, while the musket soldiers and some Mongolian archers stood in the center, attacking with muskets and bows and arrows.
boom!boom!boom!boom!boom!
For a moment, countless soldiers of the Golden Horde fell in a pool of blood, and some soldiers even knelt on the ground and prayed.
The command system has been completely paralyzed or in chaos. Ordinary generals have no way to command their soldiers, and some generals even don’t know what to do.
These included some Mongolian generals, Turkic generals, and Cuman generals.
"Order the entire army to be careful and advance steadily. Also, order the cavalry units to block all the openings in the valley. Do they really think I don't know those small paths?" Zhang Dingguan put down the telescope in his hand and said.
As soon as he arrived at the valley, he had his assassin troops begin to secretly explore some openings in the valley, and even captured some local herdsmen to show them the way.
This valley is indeed easy to defend but difficult to attack, but it will also be the grave of your Golden Horde. In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy or trick is useless.
He had already seen some things. The soldiers of the Golden Horde were now terrified, especially after the mountain artillery and heavy artillery were brought out.
Heavy artillery can only bombard the mouth of a valley, but mountain artillery can be carried by soldiers.
Although it is not very powerful, it is enough to deal with such a small-scale war, especially something like a musket.
After joining the battlefield, it brought even greater psychological pressure to the ordinary soldiers of the Golden Horde.
"Commander, I will inform everyone right away that my army is advancing steadily and will completely destroy the Golden Horde today."
"Go! Tonight, I want to see Batu and other princes of the Golden Horde brought to my tent together. I will treat them to meat and wine." Zhang Dingguan said with a smile.
"Yes! Brothers, you have all heard the commander's orders!
Tonight, we will invite all the princes of the Golden Horde to our tent to drink wine and eat meat."
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of explosions and the soldiers shouting!
The sound of iron colliding is endless!
The entire valley was shaking. Large numbers of soldiers rushed in and began to attack along the trails in the valleys, gradually destroying the Golden Horde army entrenched on the hilltops.
"Prince! Berke! You have to think of a solution quickly. What should we do?" A young prince of the Golden Horde was so anxious that he turned back and forth, not knowing what to do.
The Western Expedition Army of the Daqian Empire is really brave. They started fighting as soon as they were told to. They didn't give the other party any chance to react. They were still negotiating yesterday, and they started fighting today!
Below the valley, countless Golden Horde soldiers were fighting with the enemy, but he could see that the Golden Horde soldiers had no fighting spirit at all.
After seeing some of his companions surrender and be spared, he immediately threw his weapons on the ground and surrendered.
The weapons used by the enemy completely destroyed their fighting consciousness. The huge monsters that could fly in the sky, the things that could make noises and even spew out flames, were all extremely shocking to them. The soldiers didn't know what was going on. Suddenly, there was a loud bang around them, and then everyone was blown away!
They knew that firearms were very powerful, but the weapons they had used before were just some flying thunder tubes, catapults, and explosive packs.
They had never seen such a powerful weapon, such a shocking weapon.
The small artillery weapons that only required three or four soldiers to carry up the mountain caused them to suffer heavy losses.
The only thing that could cause a little harm to the Western Expedition Army was the traps that had been set up before. But facing a truly elite army, how effective would these traps be?
These western expedition armies will charge upwards despite these traps, and once they do, the battle will basically be over.
Even in some places, the traps were not triggered at all, and the fortifications that had been built were not used.
Because the soldiers completely broke down emotionally, they surrendered directly, and some soldiers even jumped off the top of the mountain because they could not accept this fact.
"Hahaha! I didn't expect it! I didn't expect it!
The army of the Daqian Empire, Zhang Yong’s army, has truly received the blessing from heaven, the blessing from God!
Otherwise, where did they get this kind of weapon, where did they get something that can fly into the sky?" Berge laughed wildly at this time.
Under the influence of his mother, he was an extremely devout believer and had a very pious faith in Allah.
But today! Everything that happened in front of him overturned his cognition.
Legend has it that the great prophet once came to Jerusalem from the city of Mecca, flew into the sky on a packhorse with a gray human head, and communicated with God and seven other prophets.
These seven great prophets correspond to the seven levels of heaven respectively.
These seven great prophets, one of whom was even Jesus Christ, successfully flew to the highest level of the sky and met the God who dominates everything.
This is the famous night march!
God asked his people to pray every day and to prostrate themselves fifty times. When the great prophet returned to the sixth floor, he met Musa Musa who reminded him to prostrate himself fifty times a day.
It was a huge burden for his people, so the great prophet prayed nine times to the true God and changed it to five prayers a day.
This was originally a myth, but today, he really saw something that could fly in the sky.
Zhang Yong also claimed that he had once ridden on a magical device like that of an alien being, which could fly across the world in one day.
People who have never seen it naturally don’t believe it. Although Zhang Yong brought back a flying device, it can only fly into the sky by itself, but cannot take others to fly.
Even the information that had been transmitted before was only flying slightly higher than some small hills!
But the flight altitude he witnessed today completely overturned his cognition. Even according to legend, this altitude had already reached above the seventh heaven.
This was a huge blow to a devout believer, and Berke could not accept this result.
The faith that he had built up in his heart over the years collapsed in an instant, and he was even stunned, not knowing what to do at all.
"Berke! Berke! What's wrong? Say something! The enemy is attacking. Say something! What should we do? You are the commander-in-chief now." A prince of the Golden Horde shouted anxiously, "As the commander-in-chief, you should play a role at this time and tell us what we should do."
"What should we do? You ask me what we should do? At this moment, what else can I do except kneeling down to pray to the God and singing praises to the true God?" Berge said.
After hearing this, all the princes of the Golden Horde present were stunned. They knelt on the ground, prayed to God, and sang praises to God!
Are you stupid? Are you crazy? Or are you really a devout believer? Aren't we rulers supposed to use these powers?
There was continuous artillery fire, shouts and sounds of fighting below, but none of it could affect Biberge at this time.
Amid the strange looks of a group of Jinzhang Khanate and princes, he took out a blanket and spread it on the ground.
He took off his shoes, knelt on the ground, muttered something, gestured on his chest, and then began to pray.
At this moment, it is impossible to save a person whose faith has collapsed, and you cannot expect a person whose faith has collapsed to do anything.
"We, what should we do? Belgo, Belgo, is he crazy?"
Batu Khan! He used to think highly of this younger brother, because among all his brothers, Berke was the smartest one and the one who was best at giving advice.
But now, this brother who was entrusted with an important task by Batu, the most important prince of the Golden Horde, actually knelt on the ground.
"He is indeed crazy. He is too influenced by his mother!"
"Now what?"
"Take up your saber and fight the enemy, or be killed by them. Do you have any other options?"
"Hahaha! Today is the last battle for our Golden Horde. We have no way out."
"Uncles, generals, what do you mean by this?
We still have a way out, the valley below, we can still retreat from there!"
Batu's fourth son, Ulahei, who is still alive, looked at his uncles and generals and said in disbelief. (The eldest son asked Zhang Yong to kill the second and third sons, both of whom died in infancy.)
What kind of people did his father, the Khan, trust? Why did they all look so desperate? Should the Mongols really accept their fate?
But even though he is the Khan's son and the next successor, he can't change anything now.
All the princes were emotionally broken.
The army of the Golden Horde began to fall into complete chaos. The entire army had no one in command. The soldiers didn't know what to do, the generals didn't know what to do, and even most of the devout believers had knelt on the ground.
Before the Western Expedition, Zhang Yong understood that these Western countries had a very firm belief in mythology, but once their faith collapsed.
That is the most terrifying thing for them. The collapse of faith is more useful than any weapon.
At this moment, the soldiers of the Golden Horde no longer had any will to resist, although they still put up some resistance in the early stages.
But in the later period, as soon as the Western Expedition Army of the Daqian Empire arrived, they immediately threw down their swords and began to surrender.
Some Golden Horde soldiers and generals also planned to escape, but the exits from each valley, even the extremely small secret passages, were guarded by people sent by Zhang Dingguan.
Although the entire valley is easy to defend, it can also easily become your grave. The safest way is to besiege it, but once such a huge valley is besieged, it may take several months.
In fact, a strong attack is not that difficult. At least it is much simpler than attacking some strong cities.
"I thought the Golden Horde was something powerful. But it turns out there isn't even a decent city in the entire country," said a Han army general.
This time, the Western Expedition was fought with extreme ease, even beyond their expectations.
These Western countries were too weak, and the cavalry units that the Golden Horde was most proud of could not make any waves in front of them.
"Hahaha! It's really easy! No wonder the Mongols loved the Western Expedition so much."
Isn't it? If these Western countries were tough and difficult to defeat, why would the Mongols mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops to march westward?
The battle lasted for two days and one night. In the afternoon of the second day, Zhang Yong's westward expedition army completely wiped out the entire resistance of the Golden Horde.
A large number of princes were captured, including Batu who was unconscious in his tent. (End of this chapter)
