Seeing that he couldn't resist, Li Shouming began to organize the retreat of the men and horses around him, preparing to return to Daizhou City to garrison in order to block the Xiaoguo army, which was a shame for today's day in the future.

Li Shouming's retreat made the defenders of Daizhou City, who were already on the verge of collapse, completely lose their heart to resist, and it was suddenly like a flood that burst the embankment, causing a large area to collapse. And it happened that the terrain at the foot of this mountain was long and narrow, mainly plain, which was suitable for cavalry pursuit, and no matter how fast two legs ran, they could not outrun four legs, and suddenly the situation became a one-sided massacre.

Although Li Shouming tried his best to organize the evacuation of nearly 10,000 soldiers under his command, under the impact and surprise attack of the 15,000 Xiaoguo army, especially the 5,000 cavalry, Li Shouming had no way to evacuate with the army. In the end, Li Shouming only led five hundred cavalry to evacuate, and these cavalry, in addition to Li Shouming's own personal guards, were some officers and officers' personal guards. As for those armies, they are all foot soldiers, and they have fallen into the siege of the Xiaoguo army and cannot get out. Not only that, but there were still a thousand cavalry behind him in pursuit.

Li Shouming and others hurried back to Daizhou City in the dim twilight, and when they came to the front of the city, Li Shouming's personal guards immediately shouted to the soldiers in the city: "Don't open the city gate quickly, let us in." ”

The city was silent, and just when Zu Li Shouming and the others were impatient, thousands of archers appeared from above the city wall, and the banner of the Northern Army of Bingzhou on the head of the city was also replaced with the flame qilin flag of the Xiaoguo Army. The officer of the Xiaoguo Army stood on the tower of the city gate and laughed, and said: "Li Shouming, Daizhou City has been taken by my Xiaoguo Army, not only that, but the entire Daizhou Mansion has all fallen into the hands of my Xiaoguo Army." Today, you will either surrender or die here. ”

After hearing that the entire territory of Daizhou Mansion had fallen, Li Shouming was shocked and almost couldn't believe it. But because he couldn't get out at the moment, he asked the Xiaoguo army in the city for the truth. After hearing that the Xiaoguo army had really defeated the Turkic army and had entered the territory of Daizhou Capital, Li Shouming finally surrendered. After all, if he doesn't think about himself, he also has to think about his own guards and their families.

After Li Shouming surrendered, Ningshan City was also taken under Li Shouming's cooperation, and the Xiaoguo army got tens of thousands of deniers of grain and grass and some armor and equipment in one fell swoop. The fall of Daizhou City also announced that the Xiaoguo Army officially ended the battle of Daizhou Mansion, and Daizhou Mansion has since changed to a new owner.

For the capture of Daizhou Mansion, it does not mean that the Xiaoguo Army is satisfied, nor does it mean that Li Chenfeng will stop. After taking the Daizhou Mansion, the more than 200,000 people who were rescued were temporarily resettled, and the ensuing Young Guards and the civilian system would soon rule in the Daizhou Mansion. As for the captured Turks, under the system of joint sitting, they would become free labor in the state capital. What awaits their fate is naturally the beginning of slavery.

…………

In all dynasties of China, the policy towards nomads was a model, fighting when it was strong and guarding it when it was weak. Even the mutual trade has strict restrictions on the nomads, who have never thought about how to assimilate this group of nomads, and originally planned to use these nomads to help protect the vast territory. The self-proclaimed Celestial Empire is a great power, even if it is trade, it is out of a kind of great power grace, and the disdain for these barbarians has caused the splendid civilization of the East to lose too many opportunities.

The nomads plundered the Central Plains just because they wanted to survive, to have food, and to play with all kinds of necessities of life. When they can't get that, the only way to do it is to grab it. When plundering is common, a habit will be formed to resolve the crisis of the grassland people, and the fight will never be clean. Historically, the powerful Han Dynasty defeated the Xiongnu, but within a few years, other nomadic tribes rose on the grassland. What Zhao Xun wanted to do was to gradually suppress these powerful tribes, break them down, and then win over some of them and suppress the other part of those who did not obey orders.

The most important thing is that Zhao Xun wants to gradually begin to assimilate these tribes, in the land of water and grass, a suitable place for building cities, to build cities, and gradually incorporate the grasslands into the chessboard-like rule. Dingzhou, formerly Khitan grassland. Although it is a grassland land, it is close to the land of Youzhou, and under the division of the city, the dock fort and the official road, these grasslands have become small areas divided by the city, the dock fort and the official road. So that even if the Khitans are grazing, they will not break away from the jurisdiction of the Xiaoguo army.

In addition, a large number of Han Chinese moved in, turning some suitable areas for cultivation into farmland. It will also limit the armed forces of the Khitans, and give them Chinese nationality and Chinese names, know Chinese characters, learn Chinese culture, and then gradually become Han people.

The north is an endless prairie, the west is the Yudujin Mountain, and the east is the lower reaches of the Hunhe River. Here, it was the location of the Turkic royal court. This grassland, which is located thousands of miles away in the north of Bingzhou, lives on the water source of the river and the Hunhe River basin after the snow melts on the Dujin Mountain, and because of this, there are many small rivers here and the grassland is fertile. Within a radius of hundreds of miles, there are many large and small steppe tribes. But they are all the tribal forces of Xue Jian Khan, or they are small tribes that are attached to Xue Jian Khan.

Zhao Xun gathered the Khitan Eight Banners, the Eight Banners of the Khitan, and the Cavalry of the Guards with a total of 100,000 iron cavalry. First, he gradually entered the Murwei Division, and together with the 20,000 Murwei cavalry of the Murwei Division, they formed a huge coalition army, roaring westward. Under the leadership of a guide who was familiar with the road, more than 100,000 iron cavalry divided into four routes, no more than 50 miles apart, and Jin struck into the Turkic steppe like four arrowheads.

Because last year's snow disaster caused great losses to the Turkic tribes, so, under the organization of Xue Jian Khan, many tribes on the steppe sent cavalry to form a coalition army to the south and merge the states, and entered the Han border to plunder. In addition to intercepting and killing on the southern road, that is, in the northern part of the state, Zhao Xun also personally prepared to teach the Turks a lesson. The purpose of Zhao Xun's trip was very simple, to completely disintegrate the Xue Jian Khan tribe that had the ability to appeal on the Turkic steppe, and let each ministry go its own way. Finally, conquer the nomads of the steppes and bring them under their feet.

Because of the cold weather in the north, the winter snow melts slowly, and last year's snow disaster caused heavy losses and unspeakable suffering in all parts of the grassland. In addition to some tribes responding to Xue Jian Khan and leading their troops south to plunder the territory of the Han people in the state, many tribes also began to fight against each other. It is also because of this that it is much easier for the coalition forces of Zhao Xun's army to enter the Turkic steppe. In addition to the fact that it was under the banner of the Turkic tribes from the beginning, it was also because of the melee of the various tribes. So that their actions are not scrutinized by the ministries.

Although some tribes are suspicious of this, after all, there are more than 30,000 people on each of the four armies, which is not a small number. On the grasslands after the snowstorm, it is also necessary for large tribes to own. And most of these big tribes responded to the Khan's edict, and there was no southern Han people to loot in the territory before. However, although these tribes were skeptical, they did not expect that this would be a Han army, a Xiaoguo army.

So, these unsuspecting tribes, when a large number of Xiaoguo army cavalry arrived. The whole fell and was surrounded by tens of thousands of cavalry, and after a rain of arrows, these tribes, with a population of no more than a thousand, were bloodied, and in the end there were basically no survivors.

At the same time that Li Chenfeng took the Daizhou Mansion, Zhao Xun also arrived at the land of the royal court of Xue Nebu, which was surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the terrain was extremely superior. The rivers from the north and the snow-capped rivers from the high mountains of the northwest meander their way through each other, like silver-white streamers scattered on the cyan scroll. The abundant water made the cattle and sheep flock and the horses galloped. In the endless green steppe, countless Turkic people are grazing their cattle everywhere......

"The environment is good, a good place, but it's a pity ......" Riding on a war horse, standing on a mountain bag, looking at the endless green grassland and the jubilant livestock on the grassland in front of him, as well as the white yurt house in the green, Zhao Xun couldn't help but sigh.

Don't say it, other people also know what Zhao Xun means. The view in front of you is beautiful and the place is peaceful. However, the two sides are enemies who are never to die. Although Zhao Xun sent the army of the four towns to intercept the Turkic army, he even made preparations for Youzhou to take advantage of the victory to enter the state. However, he doesn't intend to stop there.

The Turkic people are predominantly tribal, and unlike the Tata, the Tatar people are half-agrarian and half-nomadic, and have begun to establish a stable centralized rule. The Turkic people, on the other hand, are still mainly tribal and need to migrate at any time due to the external environment. Of course, if the royal court and the royal tribe are strong, then they will naturally have a great deal of rule over the various ministries. But no matter what, Zhao Xun wanted to sweep away the nest of the Turkic Khan.

Only after this place is cleared, the Turks who are still in the land of Bingzhou will not continue to stay in the northern part of Bingzhou no matter what. Even if the army of the southern route did not achieve a great victory, the Turks would still hastily withdraw from Bingzhou. Even, the Turks will abandon the seizures they have taken from the annexed states and kill them back as quickly as possible.

In this royal court, only Xue Jian Khan's 20,000 royal tent troops were guarded, and the rest were ordinary herdsmen. Moreover, because of the plundering of the land that went south and merged with the state, most of the herdsmen left behind were old and weak, women and children. This is also the information obtained by the Xiaoguo army to capture the herdsmen.

"All the departments will rest tonight, and they will start their actions at dawn, and those who resist will be killed, and those who are men will be killed!" Looking at the slightly dim sky, Zhao Xun said coldly.

Time flies by in a blink of an eye, and the night passes like this. The sky gradually brightened, a new day was coming, beyond the field of vision, there were still shadows, and at this moment, the whole grassland was silent.

"Action!" On top of the mountain bag, Zhao Xun waved his hand fiercely. Suddenly, several command flags swayed, and under the faint light, the red command flag was still clearly conveyed to the general's order.

Suddenly, the earth seemed to shake, and on the other side of the hillside, a few lonely wild sheep foraging early in the morning raised their heads beyond Lish. He looked in horror in the direction of the back side of the hill, and then after a few moments, his hooves flew up and fled like lightning. Immediately, the black-armored cavalry on the hillside that looked like an ink line roared like a tsunami, and the armor on the cavalry immediately appeared dark black, like the nine hells, and the gold was as cold as ice, and there was no trace of reflective gold on the armor revealing a kind of murderous coldness. Immediately, in the other three directions not far away, a black line also appeared, which was also cavalry. One of the cavalrymen was also dressed in black armor, but their armor was different from the other three, and they wore a red cloak and red tassels behind them.

The Eight Banners of the Spirit, the Cavalry of the Spirit, and the Eight Banners of the Khitan are all black armor, but all three are leather armor. The armor of the cavalry of the Pro-Guard Army was stamped by a hydraulic forging press. This stamped armor has better frontal resistance to blows and is very lightweight. Moreover, these armors are mixed with some other metals, so they appear dark black and have the property of not refracting light.

The pro-guard army, that is, the expansion of the pro-guard battalion, in addition to a cavalry armor, each cavalry also put a silk underwear, which can be said to greatly enhance the survivability on the battlefield.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom ......" was like thunder and lightning rolling on the horizon, making a deafening roar, and the whole earth began to tremble. The four-way army was like four sharp arrows, killing the Turkic royal court in front......

In the land of the royal court, there are also simple fortified towns, but they cannot stop the attack of the army. The charge of more than 100,000 cavalry made the entire royal court commotion in an instant. The sound of whimpering horns came and went, and some cavalry began to appear on the steppe, and after checking the situation, they roared bitterly......

The whole earth trembled, and 100,000 cavalry roared and attacked the center of the royal court from several directions at the same time, and in front of the 100,000 iron cavalry. It was the only 20,000 royal tent troops and nearly 10,000 Turkic knights gathered in a panic. Not to mention that these royal tent troops are not ready for battle, let's just say that there are nearly 10,000 knights, and most of them are underage children.

Although the Turks are a tribal system, after all, Xue Pinch Khan is the co-master, has a righteous reputation, and is also the most powerful tribe. Therefore, the surrounding tribes did not dare to provoke at all, and as for the Han people, it would be good if they were not attacked. Therefore, in this operation, the people of the royal court in these dozens of miles of land, they did not have the slightest defense. Even the king's horde's army is the same.

Don't talk about ordinary people, even the royal tent army of Xue Jian's Khan Department, Zhao Xun is also not afraid. Don't say anything else, let's just talk about the weapons of both sides, the comparison between the Xiaoguo army and the other party is also the difference between heaven and earth, and the difference between cloud and mud. The Yan and Turkic cavalry, as well as the cavalry of the Murwei tribe, were all dressed in elaborate leather armor provided by the Xiaoguo army, and wore horizontal swords, a longbow, three bags of arrows, a round shield, and a spear. The weapons of the Turkic soldiers were far inferior to those of the Xiaoguo army, except for the homemade longbows, which consisted of leather armor made of animal fur and some crude scimitars.

One inch long and one inch strong, coupled with the exquisite and fine weapons and the advantages of armor, the Xiaoguo army is naturally not afraid of these Turkic cavalry. Whether it is the Khitan cavalry or the Yan cavalry, they are now trained according to the training methods of the Xiaoguo army, speaking of which, plus some of their own advantages, they have more advantages than the cavalry of the Xiaoguo army.

Although Zhao Xun knew a little when he set off, as long as he could get close to the other party's royal court, it would not be difficult to strangle the other party's royal court, but he didn't expect it to be so easy. Seeing this situation, Zhao Xun was not ambiguous, and directly commanded the army to kill. The first situation can be said to be a battle that relies on the strong and bullies the weak, and there is almost no suspense. Although the 20,000 king's tent army and the 10,000 Turkic knights fought desperately, in the face of absolute power, even a single resistance was futile. Although many Turkic ordinary people also joined the battle, the difference in strength made it only take more than an hour for this beautiful scenery, quiet and peaceful royal court to be strewn with corpses all over the field.

The headquarters of the Xue Nee tribe, which had lost its last force, was like a girl who had been torn the last layer of her clothes, and Jin was naked in front of a group of rude men. Soon, these cavalrymen began to carry out Zhao Xun's military orders, and all men were beheaded. All horses and livestock were taken away, and those who could not be taken away were burned on the spot.

The Xue Ne tribe has more than 800,000 people, of course, the area under the jurisdiction of this royal court for dozens of miles will naturally not be the place where all the tribesmen live. However, there are still more than 200,000 herdsmen of the Xue Ne tribe here. In this battle, it was basically all in the hands of the Xiaoguo Army.

This great battle, which was won by an absolute majority, had no place for any value circle, but it was of extraordinary significance to the entire Eastern Turkic tribes.

Zhao Xun's raid on the Battle of Xue Nebu broke Xue Khan's plan to plunder the annexed states, forcing him to return as soon as possible. Even if he learned that the Xiaoguo army in the land of annexation annihilated more than 100,000 people of his coalition army, even if he learned that the Xiaoguo army in this land of merger had robbed half of the property he had worked hard to obtain in January, he still had to suppress the anger in his heart and ran back in disgrace. Because, what he is more afraid of now is that the other party will come to him for trouble.

This raid, in addition to the difficulty of contacting and conjuring the Turkic people. Another significance is that the Eastern Turks, who had gradually begun to dominate the tribes because of the strength of the Xene tribe, once again fell into the struggle for power among the tribes. Because of the strength of the Xiaoguo army, these tribes did not dare to go south to provoke the Han people, so the various departments were directly distant, and naturally there were constant disputes. Like the territory of the Han people, the grassland tribes often fought with each other.

And this gives Xiaoguojun a very valuable development opportunity. In the south, that is, the land of annexation, because of the retreat of the Turks, the Xiaoguo army can better devote its energy to the land of annexation. In the north, the Xiaoguo army also began to co-opt some of them, suppress some of them, and gradually incorporate these tribes into their command. Of course, the latter part of this, of course, is what will be done later......
