Died of old age, and you tell me this is a life simulation?

"But the more this happens, the more I can't retreat!" Temujin sighed, "If I can't have a fair fight with Daqian this time, I'm afraid I'll completely lose my courage when I return!"

It’s hard to hold on any longer!

"Instead of this, why not take advantage of this moment while our courage and ambition remain strong, lead our troops to charge forward once more in their prime!"

(ps: Asking for custom orders, full orders, flowers, evaluations, monthly tickets, comments, and support~)

Chapter 547 The undoubted ending!

The so-called courage is not only one's own courage, but also the courage of the entire Mongols.

Temujin knew it very well.

This battle may be the only chance!

If he were to flee in fear, he might not be able to rally himself.

Not to mention the army under his command? !

After hearing this, King Ruyang was silent for a moment.

After a long pause, he sighed, "Ever since Daqian raised his army, whether in field battles or sieges, they have been invincible! The Song army of 100,000 was defeated in a single battle west of Beijing, suffering countless casualties. Later, the Liao, Jin, and Western Xia armies, totaling over 300,000, advanced southward, only to be crushed and scattered by Daqian. Their elite forces were wiped out in a single day! Daqian is currently raising two armies, attacking Liao and Jin, and will annihilate both in four months! The Khan believes that our Mongol Yuan army of a mere 150,000 can withstand the Daqian army. If not, how many troops will we lose? If we lose one-third here, we'll be seriously injured. If we lose half, it's hard to say whether we can maintain order on the grasslands, or even the Mongol Yuan! And what if the situation is even worse? What if all our elite troops are wiped out in a single day? It's even worse..."

You, the Great Khan of the Mongol Yuan Dynasty, are very likely to perish in such a war! 03 This is no joke!

The Daqian army has this ability!

Temujin said in a deep voice, "Since I'm going to fight with all my might, why would I be afraid of death? You don't need to persuade me anymore! I've made up my mind!"

Upon seeing this, Prince Ruyang sighed in his heart, but he knew that the Khan in front of him had great prestige and his decision would be difficult to change.

At this point, we can only take one step at a time and see what happens.

To be honest, while he was terrified by the combat power of Daqian's elite troops, he was also curious and wanted to explore.

Since the Khan has decided to do so, let's give it a try!

only......

I don’t know if this will hurt Minmin. Alas! Prince Ruyang closed his eyes with a worried look on his face.

But now that things have come to this, there is no point in saying anything.

The Khan didn't even consider Princess Huazheng's situation. Although he was worried about his daughter, what could he do?

Despite everyone's advice, Temujin did not waver, but instead became more determined. He quickly summoned a group of generals and tribal leaders and enforced his will in the name of the Khan.

I can only say that this is really true.

Temujin was at the peak of his prestige.

Although the Mongol army was afraid of Daqian and wanted to avoid fighting, they all carried out the orders from the Mongol Khan relatively straightforwardly.

At this time, Temujin promised power and territory to the top leaders, promoted the middle leaders on the battlefield, promised to reward them for their achievements afterwards, and lavishly rewarded the bottom-level soldiers.

Thirty to forty percent of all the property looted since the march south was instantly cleared out.

This move gradually stabilized the morale of the army.

At the same time, those who spread grievances in the army or fled because of fear of war were beheaded in public.

And impose collective punishment!

After this display of power and kindness, the Mongol army quickly returned to a wartime state from a state of unrest.

But this does not mean that people at all levels have no fear.

It's just that he was temporarily overwhelmed by the immediate interests and fear, and barely suppressed his fear of the Daqian army.

But Temujin was somewhat satisfied with this, at least the combat effectiveness of the army was guaranteed.

He immediately did not stop for a moment, sending small troops to investigate the detailed movements of the Qian army, while also being ready for the war to begin at any time.

The atmosphere was solemn and tense for two days.

finally......

On this day, the elite troops of Daqian arrived!

About 30,000 to 40,000.

They stopped several kilometers away and did not engage in direct fighting. Instead, they fell silent.

After hearing the news, Temujin vaguely understood what was going on and sent an envoy with a letter.

"Declaration of war?" Cheng Qingshuang, who was dressed in military uniform, frowned and snorted coldly after a while.

The elite troops arrived, but they did not start a war directly. That was because you, the Mongols, presented princesses and counties to us, and they were all very much loved by the Lord. They were taken into the harem and given the title of concubines. In addition, there had been no war between the two countries in the past, so we were given some leniency.

If they were sensible and took the initiative to surrender, they might be able to maintain their dignity; even if they were not so sensible, they should still withdraw their troops and return north!

But what does it mean to send a direct declaration of war?

how?

Do you think that the Mongolian cavalry can withstand the might of my Great Qian?!

"Let me take on this battle."

A clear yet cold voice came. Cheng Qingshuang looked over, his expression slightly solemn, and nodded, "Okay! Then I'll leave this battle to you!"

The letter of war was returned.

An hour later.

The drums were beating loudly.

Two armies confront each other!

Looking from afar, one could see a group of elite cavalry marching in a solemn manner, with scarlet flaming flags fluttering and a large flag with the word "Zhou" erected high.

It was like a towering mountain pressing down on us.

gradually......

Vibration! Howling!

The crimson flags seemed to have turned into flowing flames, and the "mountains" formed by the cavalry turned into "sharp swords" that soared into the sky!

What it brings is unparalleled terrifying killing!

The previous moment collapsed!

Roars! Fear! Horror!

It resounded throughout the entire battlefield!

Two hours later, the tight formation of the 50,000-strong army was completely torn apart!

Tens of thousands of Daqian troops surrounded and suppressed them one after another!

The war finally ended after four hours.

The Daqian elite troops undoubtedly won a great victory!

But the Mongol army cannot be said to have suffered a crushing defeat.

at least......

This is true compared with the armies of several countries before.

The Mongol army was undoubtedly far superior to the Song Dynasty and Western Xia in terms of eliteness, and was much stronger than the Liao and Jin dynasties.

Being able to hold out for so long under the charge of Daqian's elite troops is truly unique!

pity......

In the face of the absolute power gap, it is meaningless!

Still couldn't escape the fate of being defeated on 317.

Out of the 150,000-strong army, only tens of thousands of soldiers and the most elite Qiexue troops fled.

"Do you want to continue chasing?" Zhou Zhiruo asked softly while riding a horse, her beautiful eyes gazing into the distance.

Cheng Qingshuang shook her head slightly: "No need, let's leave it this way for now. The Mongol Yuan territory is vast and sparsely populated. The subsequent food and supplies will not be able to keep up, and it will be difficult to control it if we chase them."

Since the founding of Daqian, the three kingdoms of Xixia, Liao and Jin have been destroyed. The consumption of such a war and the huge governance work have almost reached a relatively extreme threshold, and it is not appropriate to continue to expand the war.

It's time to stop.

First, "digest" the territory you have swallowed.

This is a strategic order from the center.

Cheng Qingshuang naturally had to carry out the order.

certainly.....

There is no problem in chasing them and continuing to kill the Mongol Yuan forces. Sooner or later they will be under our rule anyway, so eliminating some potential troops in advance will make things easier in the future.

However, considering that the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty was too weak, there might be chaos on the grassland, plus the two people in the harem... Cheng Qingshuang thought about it carefully and gave up, and just ordered people to clean up the battlefield.

(ps: Asking for custom orders, full orders, flowers, evaluations, monthly tickets, comments, and support~)

Chapter 548: Return to the Court! Sensation! Attitude!

With the retreat of the remaining Mongol troops, this also meant the temporary end of the war.

At least, there will be no opportunity for large-scale military combat in the short term.

While Cheng Qingshuang was speeding up the dispatch of troops to take over the remaining land and bring it under his rule, he also began to compile the battle reports and submit them to his superiors.

After quickly arranging things, Cheng Qingshuang left the tent and saw Zhou Zhiruo gazing at the sunset. She couldn't help but step forward and call out, then sighed, "Your military rank and title are obviously higher than mine. Logically, you should be the commander of these three armies. I don't know what's going on in your mind. You only want to lead the five thousand elite soldiers but not the main army."

This Miss Zhou in front of us has outstanding military achievements that are unrivaled in the Daqian military system. She was promoted to a higher position and rank as early as after the enthronement ceremony!

She was promoted faster and higher than someone like her who came from the Nine Heavens and Nine Departments!

Cheng Qingshuang didn't have any negative emotions about this.

One is that Zhou Zhiruo herself does have great abilities. With the cultivation level of True Qi, her strength is unrivaled within the current sect. She has also made great military achievements, so it is only natural that she should be promoted and given a higher rank.

Another thing is that she felt that there was a high probability that Miss Zhou would be one of the future mistresses.

Since she is the mistress, it is not a big deal to confer a high official title and noble title on her and give her command of the military. What's more, she does have the ability and merit, so it can only be said that it is just right.

Furthermore...

Thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all blessings from heaven.

No matter how the Lord rewards her, whether it is reasonable or not, as long as it is decided, she will agree and obey it 100%, so there is naturally nothing to say.

Zhou Zhiruo shook her head slightly. "Commanding five thousand soldiers is something I can still do with ease, but commanding hundreds of thousands is something I've never done before. It would be safer for you to lead the army. Secondly, I can move swiftly and freely with five thousand elite soldiers, without being held back by a large army and baggage, which slows down our march. I can accomplish just as much as I could with hundreds of thousands of men. Therefore, it's naturally better to maintain the status quo."

Cheng Qingshuang felt that the other party's previous statement was untrue. He claimed it had never happened before. But before taking command of 5,000 troops, it seemed you, Commander Zhou, had never led an army before, hadn't you? Yet, didn't you quickly familiarize yourself with military affairs and manage them in an orderly manner? And then, with 5,000 elite troops, you achieved one glorious victory after another!

Although this army of hundreds of thousands is large, it may not be able to defeat you.

However, after hearing the following words, Cheng Qingshuang thought about it carefully and nodded in agreement.

indeed.

Unlike generals who plan strategies, he needs to plan every step carefully and deploy his troops.

With this man's military power, he can basically lead 5,000 elite soldiers to charge into the battle formation and break through a few times, and any army will collapse. Therefore, it really doesn't matter whether the number of soldiers is large or small. On the contrary, having too many soldiers will limit the ultimate performance of their capabilities.

Maintaining 5,000 elite soldiers is indeed easier than commanding tens of thousands of troops, and there will not be much loss of merit.

The clues were clearly visible in this Northern Expedition against Liao and Jin.

Her military achievements were still extremely outstanding. Her 5,000 elite troops alone achieved almost one-third of the combined results of the other armies.

This is because the other party intentionally restrained and suppressed their performance, otherwise it would be even more exaggerated.

It can only be said that it is so powerful that it is almost distorted.

"After this battle, what remains is to manage local affairs. What are your plans?" Cheng Qingshuang asked.

Zhou Zhiruo's cold and calm face seemed to have a strange expression: "Since there is no war, let's go back."
