The Golden Family, rising from the Western Regions

Chapter 83: Golden Mountain Destroyed

In the Northern Frontier Army, Xiao Simo personally went to the front line to take command.

Although the soldiers failed to break through the defense line of the northeast mountain pass, Xiao Simo was not disappointed.

The commotion here was very grand, but in fact it was just a feint to attract the main force of the Naimans.

"Li Xiao, please don't let me down."

Xiao Simo, wearing armor, stood on a high place looking at the mountains, with his hands behind his back, and said secretly in his heart.

This time, he almost placed all his bets on Li Xiao.

If Li Xiao fails, Xiao Simo will probably find it difficult to capture Jinshan and will have to retreat back to the northern border.

The Naimans will always pose a threat to him from behind, preventing him from fully focusing on dealing with the royal court.

Therefore, the Battle of Jinshan is of vital importance to Xiao Simo.

He has even higher hopes for Li Xiao.

"Pass the order down~"

Xiao Simo was just about to order the army to take a break, but at this moment, he saw two personal soldiers rushing towards him from a distance.

"Report~"

The sound came from far away, and the two men rode their horses quickly to Xiao Simo and shouted:

"My lord, the wolf smoke is rising."

"what?"

Hearing this, Xiao Simo's face suddenly turned ecstatic.

Of course he understood what this meant.

According to the agreement with Li Xiao, once Li Xiao arrives near the northeast mountain pass, he will immediately light a signal fire.

When Xiao Simo's men see this, they will immediately launch a general attack to support Li Xiao's actions.

After waiting for so many days, he finally got the signal.

"Hahaha~"

"Great."

Xiao Simo was overjoyed.

As the signal of war rises, the great thing is accomplished!

"Send orders to all ministries."

"Gather all troops and capture the mountain pass at all costs to wipe out the Naiman camp."

Xiao Simo shouted with high spirits.

The previous worries and helplessness have been swept away, and now Jinshan has changed its offense and defense.

The Naimans are attacked from both sides and will not be able to hold out for long. It is time for a general attack.

Xiao Simo's military order soon reached the hands of military leaders of various tribes in the northern border.

"General attack by the entire army?" Xiao Linta's face changed when he received the order.

While he ordered his soldiers to prepare for the attack, he also wanted to find out the situation.

After all, he was a veteran with strong connections, and he soon found out the reason why Xiao Simo gave this order.

"Li Xiao?" Xiao Linta was stunned.

Unexpectedly, Li Xiao had already gone around the enemy's rear and launched an attack on the Naiman people from the other side.

"No wonder~" Xiao Linta muttered to himself, looking helpless.

At that time, Li Xiao selected troops from various departments and made a big fuss, but soon there was no movement.

No one even knew where Li Xiao had gone.

Now I finally understand. It turns out that we have unknowingly sneaked into the heartland of the Naiman people?
"The Naimans are really stupid!" Xiao Linta shook his head and smiled.

Then he mounted his horse and led his troops to attack.

The same was true for other departments, and all capable people received the news.

"Did Li Xiao stab the Naiman people in the ass?" Xiao Tuladuo was shocked.

Then he burst into laughter: "Well, this kid is quite interesting."

"Spread the word, the end of the Naiman people has come. Follow me and charge forward to kill them."

The most excited people were Qin Kaishan and others. Xiao Yanyan specially sent someone to tell them the news.

"Finally, there is news." Qin Kaishan breathed a sigh of relief.

There has been no news since Li Xiao took his men away, and those who stayed behind, like Qin Kaishan, were also frightened.

Now the news has come that Li Xiao has succeeded.

"Fortunately, Dalong and the others are fine." Zhao Tiezhu nodded.

"It's time for us to get started and reunite with Dalong as soon as possible."

Afterwards, the remaining troops of the Seven Forts Allied Forces, led by the two, attacked towards the mountain pass.

At this time, the Naiman soldiers at the mountain pass also learned the news that the camp had been attacked.

Everyone is aware of their current situation, and they have already been attacked from all sides.

I'm afraid this battle is hopeless.

Thinking back to the news I had heard before, a Liao army had already penetrated deep into the heart of Naiman and was frantically looting various tribes.

With worry and longing for his loved ones, he faced the crazy attack of the northern border army.

The Naiman army quickly collapsed.

The northern frontier army finally broke through Jinshankou and pursued the defeated Naiman soldiers frantically.

In the Naiman camp, the battle was equally fierce. Under the personal leadership of Kekseuwu, the Naiman soldiers began to resist tenaciously against Li Xiao's army.

But not long after, a voice was heard in the camp.

"The general is dead."

"General Kexuewu was killed by the Liao people."

The soldiers looked over in panic and saw a Liao general wearing armor, holding a lance high in the air. In front of the lance was a corpse.

The commander of the Naiman army, who could defeat Xuewu.

This scene directly shocked the Naiman soldiers in the camp.

Everyone's face showed fear and panic.

In this era, the coach is the soul pillar of an army.

The death of the commander-in-chief was a huge blow to the morale of the soldiers.

"But Kexuwu is dead, and those who surrender will not be killed."

Li Xiao shouted loudly in the Naiman language he had just learned, and asked every soldier under his command to repeat the sentence.

The effect is also very obvious. No one wants to die, and even fewer people will persist in a battle without seeing victory.

The fighting spirit of the Naiman soldiers in the camp was instantly shattered, and they began to flee in all directions.

Only a few stubborn elements still tried to resist, but they were all killed by Li Xiao.

The Naiman camp was broken!
Li Xiao led his men to continue hunting down the scattered Naiman soldiers.

An hour later, Xiao Simo brought his men to the camp.

He looked at the many Naiman captives being held in the camp, and then at the body of Kekseuwu lying on the ground.

A satisfied smile immediately appeared on his face.

He dismounted and came in front of Li Xiao.

"Okay, okay, hahaha~"

"This king was right in choosing the right person."

"In this battle at Jinshan, you, Li Xiao, deserve the greatest credit."

"This king is never stingy with his own people, and will never treat those who have made contributions unfairly."

"Wait~"

Xiao Simo smiled happily, patted Li Xiao's blood-stained armor, and generously promised Li Xiao a promotion and reward.

Looking at the Han boy in front of him who was a little taller than him, he felt more and more satisfied.

So what if I’m not a Khitan?
The Khitans were not necessarily absolutely reliable.

On the contrary, Li Xiao, a Han Chinese with a clean family background and no connection with the royal court, is more trustworthy.

Throughout history, many people relied on the power of other races to defeat their enemies in internal political struggles.

Just like the Jingnan Rebellion initiated by Zhu Di, the Mongolian cavalry under his command played a significant role.

Aliens are like lonely ministers who have no capital to please everyone and can only rely on their benefactors.

In Xiao Simo's eyes, the Han forces represented by Li Xiao have become an important arm in his fight for power with the royal court.

So Xiao Simo had already made up his mind that he must train Li Xiao well and keep him for future use.

"The Battle of Jinshan was a joint effort of all the generals~"

Li Xiao gave some polite remarks and praised the other generals.

You have taken all the benefits, so what's wrong with saying some nice words?

Finally, Li Xiao said, "I have another gift for you, my Lord."

Li Xiao paused and looked at Xiao Simo with a puzzled and slightly expectant look.

"Don't send me another woman, boy."

"I, Xiao, have never been lustful." Xiao Simo pointed at Li Xiao and scolded with a smile.

Pooh!
shameless!

The last time I gave you the beautiful Karluk woman in your tent, you, Xiao Simo, accepted her against your conscience.

"I know that you are a man of integrity, how dare you use a woman to make a fool of yourself?"

"The gift I am about to give to you is actually from the Naiman prince Quchulu, the son most valued by the Khan of Taiyang."

Hearing Li Xiao's words, Xiao Simo immediately became interested: "Oh, did you capture Prince Naiman?"

“He’s already been detained.”

"Good." Xiao Simo laughed. It was another good news.

He had also heard of the name Qu Chulu. Taiyang Khan did attach great importance to him and he had a certain reputation among the Naiman tribes.

The capture of Qu Chulu was indeed a blow to the morale of the Naiman people.

"In this way, we can have a good talk with Sun Khan." Xiao Simo nodded with a smile.

Xiao Simo was not prepared to wipe out the Naiman people with just one war.

Unrealistic.

The Naimans were the overlords of the Mongolian Plateau and were very powerful.

If they are really forced into a desperate situation and launch a dying counterattack, the Northern Frontier will inevitably suffer heavy losses.

This is not in Xiao Simo's interest.

It will only benefit the royal court and other tribes on the grassland.

Therefore, Xiao Simo's goal was only to strike a blow against the Naiman's power so that they would no longer have the strength to pose a threat to the northern border.

"Inform all units to clear the battlefield. Two days later, march towards the Naiman Khanate." Xiao Simo ordered.

In a good mood, he pulled Li Xiao to the big tent and prepared a good banquet to entertain the heroes.

Afterwards, the various tribes continued to take action, hunting down Naiman deserters and sorting out the spoils on the battlefield.

It will take a long time to get busy.

After thanking Xiao Simo for the banquet, Li Xiao led his men away from Jinshan and prepared to continue searching for the Naiman tribe.

The six tribes that were looted before were far from satisfying Li Xiao's appetite.

He needed more cattle, sheep, supplies, slaves and women to feed his army.
