Just when the Tianzhu forces such as the Marquis of Tianfang and the Japanese army were confronting the enemy from the west on the west side of the border, ready to set off a fierce war on an unprecedented scale. In the north, in the steppes of Central Asia, the Persian governor, the first-class Yunlu general of the imperial court, and Shi Xiu, the envoy of the Dangkou army, led a group of tigers and wolves under his command to set off a bloody storm on the grassland.

Shi Xiu's new army is all the elite of the tribes in West Asia, and it was selected by Shi Xiu and the Zoroastrian people from the 600,000 cavalry of various tribes in Tabriz, which can be called one out of ten, so that almost all of the surviving ones are elites.

Such a new army naturally has high morale and sharp troops, and even if it has not been reorganized after the elimination of the weak and the strong in the base camp of the Governor's Palace, it still has a certain combat strength, and it is barely qualified to deal with the Chagatai Khanate in the north.

What's more, from officers to soldiers in this army, all have a blood feud with the Mongols who have ravaged West Asia for hundreds of years, and they are like fighting the Chagatai Khanate, which is also dominated by Mongols, like a wolf.

Shi Xiu led this group of new troops all the way north, cutting across the grassland like a huge blood-colored scythe.

Such a sudden and swift attack caught the sparse and scattered tribes on the grassland off guard.

On the steppe of hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, the cavalry of the Dangkou Army rushed through like a torrent, and all the grassland tribes within the range were harvested one by one.

Shi Xiu's order was cold and cruel, leaving no prisoners, just these four words, in fact, it also means that wherever the army passes, whether women and children, old or young, are among the killables, which is completely different from any previous war experienced by the grassland people.

In the steppe, the ultimate goal of any war between tribes is actually to plunder, to plunder everything, food, cattle, sheep, women and children, these are the objects of the steppe people's captivity.

Population is the most precious property in the eyes of the steppe people, and the root of any tribe's growth ultimately comes from this.

But the Tianzhu people are different, and the Dangkou army under the leadership of Shi Xiu is even more different.

The bitter hatred of the country and the family made the officers and soldiers of the Dangkou unconsciously enter the slaughter mode as soon as they entered the grasslands, just as they did when the Mongol iron cavalry entered these countries hundreds of years ago.

Such a war is a complete war of life and death, and the ultimate goal of the war is only one, that is, in space and in history, to use all means to erase the existence of the other side.

If it weren't for the Dangkou army but the Japanese army, maybe this goal would not be resolutely implemented because of the conflict between the concepts of most of the Song soldiers in the army.

However, the Bandar army came from the homeland of West Asia and Persia, which had been ravaged by the Mongols for hundreds of years and slaughtered for hundreds of years, which means that this concept is in line with everyone's psychology.

These tribesmen of the Ilkhanate who had just taken over their heads needed to vent, a hysterical revenge. And this war happened to give them such an opportunity.

Many of them have even reached the point of pure enjoyment of this kind of killing, and the Swinger Army, this new army, has gradually formed its own style in this kind of killing.

Like a pack of hungry wolves.

The camp tents of the Chagatai tribes did not have time to react at all, they were drowned and devoured by the army that came like a tide, the blood was all over the place, the tents were trampled down, the cattle and sheep were used as food for the army, the women were taken captive, the children were slaughtered, and finally only a cold corpse was left, telling the cruelty of war.

The torrent advanced all the way to Ashgabat, crushing the flowers of this steppe into the dirt, turning it into a ruin completely drowned in blood, and then turned south, again under the city of Mashhad.

At this time, the armies of the Wanhu Division stationed here in the western part of Chagatai have been involved in the wandering back and forth of the Dangkou Army, and only the headquarters camp tent under the command of the general of the Wanhu Department is Pier Mi, which is about less than 10,000 defenders.

Sixty or seventy thousand against ten thousand, Shi Xiu led the army to surround this city, although Mashhad has a great reputation in the steppe, it is an important commodity distribution center and trade center on the trade route in northern Persia, but the city is only the size of an ordinary county town in Tianzhu.

The 60,000 Bandit army has surrounded the city on this small grassland.

In the evening, in the tent outside the city, the grassland in midsummer is the most beautiful day of the year. Shi Xiu and a group of generals even spread out in front of their camp tents and held a grand bonfire party.

Think about it! The warriors who had just returned from the battlefield with blood on their hands, bathed in the unique fragrance of herbs on the grassland in the evening, gathered around the grand bonfires, letting the warmth of the bonfires melt away the coldness and cruelty of the remaining battlefields in their bodies and hearts, and everyone's faces were filled with warm and happy smiles.

The joy of life is to chase and kill the enemy, to take their horses, to usurp their land, to plunder their wealth and their wives and daughters, and to cut them all down!

These guys at the scene are enjoying the greatest happiness of being a man at the moment.

Who can not be intoxicated by such a feeling.

A group of butchers with blood on their hands, like children, holding hands around the campfire, singing and dancing, some drinking, some laughing, at this time, no one could tell from their faces how many people they had just killed.

Shi Xiu, standing alone on the sidelines, feeling the atmosphere in the field, this joy should be able to alleviate the coldness that his subordinates have been hiding in their hearts for a while!

The news of the war situation in West Asia has also reached him, although Tianzhu did not consider letting him return to the army to participate in this war, but after all, he is the governor of Persia, and these people under his command are all from the homeland of Persia in West Asia, and it is impossible for him and his subordinates not to ignore this war that happened in a place that is close at hand.

The big war on the grassland, coming here, should be over for the time being!

As long as Mashhad was taken, he planned to lead his troops south.

It seems unlikely that you will be able to do your best here this time.

Still, that's fine.

The way to control people is to relax one by one.

During this period, this brutal mode of warfare can certainly allow an army to complete the integration in the fastest time, but this style cannot be maintained in the army for a long time.

Human nature is a complex thing.

This is the first time Shi Xiu has been in charge of an army alone as a general, and he is trying to become a truly qualified commander.
