Bang bang bang······ A rain of arrows crashed into shields, nailed to sheepskin rafts, and sank into the Yellow River. There were also shots into the bodies of the soldiers of the Yuan army, but no one shouted, no one shouted pain.

The silent silence was like a dark cloud covering the sky, so oppressive that people couldn't even kick their breath.

Jebe looked at the Yuan army even more in his heart, but the command of the archers did not stop. Twice as many archers pressed up, and the rain of arrows became more dense.

Similarly, there were more Yuan troops who fell into the water. It's just that the current here is not turbulent, so if you fall into the water, you don't have to worry about being washed away immediately. And every soldier's waist is actually tied with a swimming ring made of sheepskin. Even if you fall into the water, you can keep your body unsinkable.

But the surface of the river, which is not muddy, is slowly dyed red. It is impossible to fight without casualties, and the Yuan army forcibly crossed the Yellow River, so it naturally needs to be filled with human lives.

Li Chengye, who was standing on the bank of the Yellow River and commanding, although his face was calm, he was faintly anxious in his heart.

He was waiting for news from Xia Jun!

Forcibly crossing the Yellow River tonight is to let the Xia army create chaos and create an opportunity for the Yuan army to land.

But right now, the archers of the Mongolian army are still shooting arrows in an orderly manner, harvesting the lives of the Yuan army, and he is a little worried about whether the Xia army is out of play.

Despite relying entirely on the Yuan army, it was able to cross the river. But it was a crushing victory of killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 of yourself. It would naturally be best if we could preserve the strength of the Yuan army and avoid a crushing victory.

Finally, as if the blessing was coming, a roar suddenly broke out in the camp of the Mongolian army on the other side. This was followed by a thudding sound, as if something was rampage through the ranks of archers.

"Skyfire! It's a heavenly fire! Damn, who's going to set the sky on fire behind your back. A Mongolian general recognized what it was and immediately shouted.

Tianhuo is the earliest firearm of Dayuan. Nowadays, although it has been updated because of other firearms, Tianhuo is simple to make, and Dayuan's firearms workshop can be large-scale and produced in large quantities in the shortest time.

Therefore, in the Gansu Legion this time, a lot of heavenly fires were stored.

When Gao Lianghui sneaked into the Xia Jun camp, he took some with him. It's not a lot, but it works wonders. The previous explosion was the handiwork of the earth-shattering thunder. The current heavenly fire is also from his hand.

At this time, suddenly unleashing a fire on the archers, lethality is still secondary, disrupting the arrangement of the archers, disrupting the speed of their arrows, is the most important thing.

Sure enough, the rain of arrows on the river decreased by more than half for a while, and many Yuan troops who had approached the river bank immediately landed quickly.

On the side of the Mongolian army, the sudden appearance of Tianhuo was just a signal. Immediately, a large number of Xia troops appeared on the hill behind the Mongolian army, all of them holding swords, and the orange fire reflected everyone like the Yama of hell.

"Xia Jun is reversed!" , but the face of the former Ban said palely.

As he spoke, a Mongolian soldier with his nose gouged out staggered over with a tray in his hand.

"Thousand--thousand, the Xia people killed the head of the hundred households." When the Mongol soldier saw Jebe, he lifted the white cloth soaked red in blood on the tray, revealing a human head with angry eyes.

"Withdraw!" , Zhebei didn't think much about it, and immediately ordered.

At this time, the military discipline of the Mongolian army was also reflected, although the Wanggu tribe had not been in the Mongols for a long time, but they had a period of time under Jebe's rule, and soon gathered around Jebe.

Then they followed Jebel and went directly over the hill intercepted by the Xia army and went around the northwest.

As for the new annexes, Jebel didn't even inform them, apparently wanting them to help delay for a while.

Unfortunately, the new annex is the one that has surrendered once. For the second surrender, there is no concern at all.

Seeing that the Mongol army was retreating northward, more and more troops landed in the Yuan army, and the Xia army was constantly pressing in the rear, they soon surrendered to the Yuan army.

At this point, the Yuan army officially set foot on the territory of the Xia State north of the Yellow River, and the entire hinterland of the Xia State also opened its arms to the Great Yuan.

It was three days before Ma Lu got the battle report of Gansu Province.

At that time, the Yuan army rushed all the way and rushed to Zhongxing Mansion unimpeded. And because when the Mongolian army retreated north, there was no food and grass and out of revenge, burning and looting all the way, but it caused the people and the army of Xia to get closer to the Yuan army.

Although there is no scene of eating pot pulp, at least it does not stumble secretly. Some state capitals also took out grain and grass as reward materials. The soldiers and horses of other military divisions also maintained an attitude of watching from the sidelines, and some even secretly contacted the Yuan army. In addition, with the surrendered Xia Jun as a liaison, the Jingsai Military Division and the Baimaqiang Town Military Division all expressed their submission to Dayuan. Although the other military divisions did not express their position, they did not explicitly refuse.

The situation in the entire Xia Kingdom seems to be developing in favor of Dayuan.

However, the disposal of Xia Guo is an issue worthy of careful consideration.

Because Xia is not an ordinary country, its position is just sandwiched between the three great powers of Great Yuan, Jin, and Mongolia, and for any party, it is like heavenly help, and the danger of losing is greatly increased.

Even if you don't consider the feelings of the Jin State for the time being, just talking about Mongolia, you will definitely not watch Dayuan swallow the Xia Kingdom so easily.

Especially when Mongolia had been in the Xia Kingdom for so long before, and now it is suddenly gone, and it has planted such a big heel, how can this evil breath be swallowed.

And Dayuan's original intention was to keep the east stable. Support the Jin state and keep it in a fighting posture with Mongolia. But on the bright side, it still remains neutral. Do not take sides and do not get caught up in a protracted war between the forces of either side.

However, the military operations of the Xia State were too smooth, allowing Dayuan to take the entire Xia Kingdom at once. It's like winning the lottery and finding out that you will even give a villa as a surprise.

Now the Great Yuan Imperial Court is divided into two camps on how to deal with the Xia Kingdom. One is to abandon the Xia Kingdom and get Liangzhou is enough. One is to completely annex the Xia State and set up a province.

The cabinet has not yet given a specific disposal plan, but the Gansu Army is already taking action.

In Zhongxing Mansion, Li Chengye walked on the streets after the Yuan army took over the city defense, and observed the capital of this oriental country up close.

Because of the cannibalism case not long ago, Zhongxing Mansion was depressed more than ten times.

The inner city, in particular, is a source of unrest. So it was hit hard by fire and looting. Seventy percent of the houses were burned down, almost to the ground. The official offices and yamen everywhere were also reduced to ashes in the fire.

In fact, most of them are the work of refugees!

After the turmoil in Zhongxingfu, the army in charge of the city's defense rushed to the inner city to quell the unrest. Some of the people fled from the city despite the obstacles. As a result, the refugees saw the opportunity to enter the city, so they took advantage of the chaos to run in to get some benefits, and poured into Zhongxing Mansion on a large scale.
