As soon as the commander of the rebel army, who had not been named, died, the army under his command immediately fell into a leaderless situation, and soon each of them fled, and Princess Tamina was short of troops, so she simply pursued and killed for a while, dispersed the large number of rebels, and then retreated to the city of Tus.

This battle of Tus City only defeated the invading enemy, and did not gain any actual benefits, but this victory brought great prestige to Tus City, making some small forces that were originally waiting and watching have the idea of wanting to take refuge.

In particular, as the rout gradually dispersed throughout Khorasan Province, the situation of the battlefield that day was propagated to the public, so that the image of Princess Tamina as the invincible goddess of war was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people of all ethnic groups in the north, and invisibly laid the foundation for the future expansion of Tus City.

Of course, that's all for later, and we turn our attention back to the city of Rezwan.

The snow has stopped, the sky has cleared, according to the information provided by the local elders, it is impossible to have a second such heavy snow in half a month, and the moment for Pan Xiaogu to wait for the attack has finally arrived.

When Pan Xiaogu made a winter battle plan, he considered the problem of snow warfare, so he made some preparations in advance, not skis, even if he prepared skis, it was impossible to teach thousands of people to ski in a short time, not to mention that there were so many horses.

Pan Xiaogu prepared snowshoes and sleds.

Before leaving, Pan Xiaogu asked the people in the territory to prepare a pair of snowshoes for each of the soldiers on the expedition, these snowshoes look similar to ordinary warm cotton boots at first glance, but if you look closely, you can find that the soles of snowshoes are much larger than ordinary shoes, and the soles are covered with anti-slip lines.

In addition to people, Pan Xiaogu also prepared 'snowshoes' for horses, it stands to reason that the war horses in his territory are all domesticated from the local wild horse herd, and they should have adapted to the climate here, but in order to prevent the war horses from frostbite, Pan Xiaogu still ordered people to prepare horse snowshoes that can keep the horses warm, in order to make these things, the cloth and fur in the territory are almost consumed.

As for the sleigh, they were used instead of horse-drawn carts to transport supplies.

In short, Pan Xiaogu's troops have the ability to march in the snow, and there is no problem if the snow does not exceed half a meter. As for the newly recruited servant army, they can follow the path out of the main force.

With the help of captured maps, local merchants like Getak to lead the way, and birds of prey beast warriors who can conduct aerial reconnaissance, the endless snowfields in the wild have not only become an obstacle to Pan Xiaogu's advance, but have become his most reliable ally, isolating the various wintering pastures from each other and turning them into isolated islands, allowing Pan Xiaogu to calmly concentrate his forces and destroy them one by one.

Pan Xiaogu's first target was a valley more than 50 kilometers north of Rezwan, where a tribe of 10,000 people spent the winter, and a merchant from Rezwan had traded with this tribe before the snow fell, and he found that there were very few young and strong people in this tribe, but he didn't pay much attention to the situation.

Now the situation has changed, and the Tang army is coming. In order to keep his property, the merchant did not hesitate to use this news to trade with the Tang army, and personally acted as a guide for the Tang army, leading them to the door of this tribe.

At this time, the Five Rivers Army was staying in a sheltered depression ten miles away from the valley, and two raptors released their contract partners, one of them was a grassland eagle, and the other was a larger golden eagle, both of which were relatively common birds of prey.

At this time, two birds of prey were hovering over the heads of that tribe, and the two beast warriors shared their vision to observe the movements of the tribe that was wintering in the valley and confirm the accuracy of the information from the merchants.

The two Birds of Prey observed for a full hour before recalling their partners, because there were many outsiders present, and the Birds of Prey Beasts pretended to communicate with their partners for a while, and then reported the situation in the valley to Pan Xiaogu.

The valley was very calm, and the steppe tribes who had spent the winter again never thought that someone would cross the snow to attack them, and they were at ease in the valley, and even the sentinels were not arranged.

Pan Xiaogu immediately assigned the task and ordered all the troops to enter the valley, asking for only one, and not running away.

The attack process was lackluster, in fact, when Pan Xiaogu led people to touch the mouth of the valley, the fate of this tribe had already been decided.

After killing dozens of rebels, the rest of the tribe obediently surrendered, and Pan Xiaogu received another territory certificate and 1,000 development points, at the cost of only a dozen or so servants.

The army spent the night in the valley, and the next morning the army set off again, leaving Pan Xiaogu with 500 servants who were mixed with the young and strong of the two cities to guard the women and children of the tribe, and all the young and strong men and horses were taken away with the army, and these people would be scattered and incorporated into the servant army sequence.

Two days later, Pan Xiaogu broke through the winter camp of a small tribe and brought him four more fragments of the Territorial Certificate. Before leaving, Pan Xiaogu also left three hundred servants and two cities mixed army to guard the old and young, take away all the young and strong people in the tribe, and break them up into the servant army.

Over the next month, Pan Xiaogu swept through more than a dozen winter camps within a 200-kilometer radius of Rezwan and Gilholtz, almost sweeping down the steppe tribes in the southeast of Khazar Province.

As a result, Pan Xiaogu also gained 5,000 development points, five complete territory vouchers, and four vouchers were synthesized through fragments, plus the two vouchers obtained from the previous attack on the two cities, Pan Xiaogu has accumulated a total of eleven territory vouchers in his hands, which is enough to complete the main quest of the system!

In addition to development points and territorial certificates, Pan Xiaogu also incorporated a force of more than 20,000 Hu servants and more than 30,000 horses.

In addition, the tribes under his control had more than a million other livestock, but these animals remained in the winter camps of these tribes, and were not taken with them.

It was really unexpected for Pan Xiaogu to achieve such a big harvest, but the reason is not difficult to imagine.

First of all, Persia had previously evacuated the young men of the steppe tribes, and when he swept up, it was a vacuum period of steppe power.

The second is that the Persian state has arranged a fixed winter camp for the steppe tribes, so that Pan Xiaogu can follow the map and do not have to send people to search in the vast snowfield.

In the end, these steppe tribes have been comfortable for too long, and after the snowfall, they have not even been vigilant at all, and they are caught off guard by his troops every time.

Because it was going so smoothly, Pan Xiaogu more than doubled the time scheduled for half a month, during which two snowfalls failed to stop his sweep.

The sweeping route arranged by Pan Xiaogu was to go north first, then turn east, and then go south after arriving at the foot of the boundary mountain, so that after taking an arc clockwise, the army returned to the winter camp of the two small tribes that Pan Xiaogu first eliminated, Pan Xiaogu repaired the army in this winter camp, and he took dozens of guards to the south to establish a new territory!
