As night fell, the sound of fighting in Sunset Valley finally fell silent, and the valley was littered with corpses, most of which were cavalry of the Timurid Empire, and some were soldiers of the Xiaowu Army and the Western Expeditionary Army.

The soldiers of the Western Expeditionary Army cleaned up the battlefield under the moonlight, and groups of dejected Timurid cavalry prisoners were taken to the prisoner-of-war camp.

It is worth mentioning that on the battlefield, not only the soldiers of the Western Expeditionary Army, but also the captured cavalry of the Timurid Empire, who treated the wounded and wounded soldiers on the battlefield, bandaged and resettled the wounded cavalry of the Timurid Empire.

In Li Yuntian's view, this battle is over, and the mission of the wounded soldiers as soldiers has actually ended, there is no need for him to kill them all, although killing can deter the enemy, it can never conquer it.

Therefore, Li Yuntian gave those wounded soldiers a chance to live, and did not kill all the wounded soldiers and prisoners like the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, which was not without reason, but in retaliation for the massacre of the Timurid Empire in the Eastern Chagatai Khanate.

In the military tent, Li Yuntian was lying on the marching bed and falling asleep, he hadn't slept much these days, although he seemed to be taking a nap with his eyes closed during the day, he was actually paying attention to the progress of the battle in Sunset Valley.

It wasn't until the dust of the battle in Sunset Valley settled and the Ming army won the victory in the Battle of Sunset Valley that Li Yuntian breathed a sigh of relief, and a wave of tiredness hit him, so he returned to the military tent to make up for sleep.

"Look, Xianggong, I captured a beautiful scimitar from the Western Regions, if you give it to Sister Tingting, you will definitely like it." The door of the military tent was opened, and Nomin, who was stained with a lot of blood, rushed in, holding a delicate Damascus scimitar in her hand, which she had personally captured on the battlefield and was going to give to Lei Ting, who was fond of weapons.

Although Li Yuntian forbade Nuo Min to go to the battlefield, once the battle began, Nuo Min had already left Li Yuntian's words behind, and due to the chaos on the battlefield, the guards sent by Li Yuntian and the Ming generals on the scene had no way to prevent Nuo Min from entering the battle group, so they had to follow the past to protect him.

Nomin's blood was splattered when she killed the enemy, and the Damascus scimitar in her hand was the trophy she had taken from the waist of a Timurid general after killing him.

When she saw Li Yuntian sleeping soundly on the marching bed, Nuo Min was slightly stunned at first, and then showed a look of pity on her face, she had been by Li Yuntian's side and knew that Li Yuntian had worked extremely hard during this time.

"No matter what happens, don't let people go in and disturb the prince, the prince is too tired, let him sleep well!" After stepping forward and kissing Li Yuntian on the forehead, Nuo Min stepped back lightly and whispered to the guards guarding the door.

"Concubine Niangniang, rest assured, the humble position will not let anyone disturb the prince's rest." Hearing this, the guards bowed to Nuo Min and replied in a low voice, to be honest, they also hoped that Li Yuntian could sleep well, and with Nuo Min's orders, it was enough to keep anyone out of the tent.

Li Yuntian slept well this night, and didn't wake up until noon the next day, and Nuo Min had already prepared a sumptuous lunch, which made Li Yuntian, who was a little hungry, feast and eat a full meal.

At this time, the results of the battle in Sunset Valley have been counted, after yesterday's fierce battle, 12,000 corpses of Timurid imperial cavalry were found in the valley and nearby areas, and the wounded and prisoners combined were as high as 10,000, which means that 30,000 Timurid imperial cavalry lost nearly seventy percent in Sunset Valley.

The Ming army lost more than 2,000 dead and 3,000 wounded in this battle, which can be described as an out-and-out victory compared with the losses of the cavalry of the Timurid Empire, a great victory that no one expected in advance.

Wen Du, who was in a hurry, paid a terrible price for his light enemy, he wanted to capture Li Yuntian and then hit the morale of the Ming army, which caused panic within the Ming Dynasty, but Li Yuntian seized the opportunity to fight a counterattack, and had to flee in the desert, leading the remnants of the defeated army to be chased by the cavalry of the Guanxi battalion of the Xiaowu army and fled into a city controlled by the Northern Yuan closest to the Sunset Valley.

In order to be able to return to Kanxi through Turpan City smoothly, Li Yuntian needs to let the Tuhuan of Turpan City and the Northern Yuan generals along the way know that Wendu has been defeated, so that no one dares to easily send troops to attack on the road.

The general of the Ming army responsible for the pursuit of Wendu was Li Zixi, who led two or three thousand cavalry of the Guanxi battalion of the Xiaowu Army, and along the way, the cavalry of the Timurid Empire of Wen was more than 6,000 and ran away like frightened birds.

It is worth mentioning that the cavalry of the Timurid Empire was already tired and tired when they arrived at Sunset Valley, and the cavalry of the Guanxi battalion of the Xiaowu Army was waiting for work, and if Li Zixi pursued with all his might, Wen Du would definitely not be able to lead the more than 6,000 cavalry of the Timurid Empire into the city controlled by the Northern Yuan.

However, since Li Zixi's task was to "pursue" rather than "destroy the enemy", he deliberately slowed down his march and chased after him unhurriedly, so that the cavalry of the Timurid Empire would not fight with them.

In Li Yuntian's opinion, if Wen Du escaped from Sunset Valley, then it would undoubtedly be a fantasy for the cavalry of the Ming army to catch up with him and capture him, and his cavalry would definitely fight to protect him, which would only increase casualties at that time, so it would be better to drive Wen Du to flee like a rabbit, which would not only avoid unnecessary casualties, but also cause greater impact in the Western Regions.

Sure enough, when Wen Du and the others fled into the city controlled by the Northern Yuan in embarrassment, Li Zixi led two or three thousand cavalry to walk around the city a few times and then swaggered away, and the Northern Yuan soldiers in the city stood nervously on the city wall, without the slightest intention of attacking.

In the eyes of the Northern Yuan generals in the city, even the famous generals of the Timurid Empire like Wendu were driven away and fled, and if they wanted to attack, they would not be sent to death.

Noon on the third day of the Battle of Sunset Valley.

"Yu Taishi, the latest battle report, Wen Du was ambushed by the Ming Zhongwu King in a place called Sunset Valley, and almost all the army was wiped out, and only a few thousand cavalry escaped the pursuit of the Ming cavalry and fled into a city near us."

As Tuhuan was gathering several confidant generals for lunch to discuss launching a tentative attack on Monte Khan and others, who were stationed in a small town more than 100 miles away from Turpan City, a guard hurriedly walked in, holding an official letter in his hand, "This is a submission from the city guard. ”

"What?" Hearing this, everyone, including Tu Huan, was taken aback, no one thought that Wen Du would fight Li Yuntian so quickly, and not only defeated but also defeated so badly.

You must know that Wendu is a generation of famous generals of the Timurid Empire, and has 30,000 elite Timurid Imperial cavalry, no matter what, he will not be able to defeat Li Yuntian, who only has 10,000 cavalry of the Guanxi battalion of the Xiaowu Army.

"Bring it." Tuhuan quickly reacted, put down the leg of mutton in his hand, took the official document and looked at it carefully.

According to the information obtained by the defenders of the city from the generals and soldiers under Wendu, the cavalry of the Timurid Empire was attacked by the Ming army with firearms in the Sunset Valley, resulting in heavy casualties, and then was caught by surprise by the 40,000 or 50,000 Ming troops who were in ambush, so that they had to retreat from the Sunset Valley.

"Forty or fifty thousand Ming troops!"

Tu Huan looked at the content of the official document, his face showed a look of surprise, he did not doubt that Wen Du and the others were attacked by the Ming army with firearms in Sunset Valley, because he knew that Li Yuntian would definitely bring firearms when he came to the Western Regions this time, but he was surprised that so many Ming troops suddenly appeared in Sunset Valley, and he didn't know if Wen Du was exaggerating, because he had not received any report of a change in the strength of the town where Monte Khan and the others were located these days, and he had sent people to strictly monitor that town.

"Report, General Wendu of Xichagatai has sent an envoy." Just when Tuhuan was secretly wondering whether the number of Ming troops in Sunset Valley that Wen Du said on the official document was true, another guard hurriedly came in to report.

"Bring him here." Tuohuan's brows furrowed, and he put the official document in his hand on the table.

"Abba, Wendu sent someone over at this time, obviously wanting to use our hands to stop the Zhongwu King of the Ming Dynasty and the Great Khan of Monte and others." After the guard left, the person sitting next to him couldn't help but speak.

Wendu has already been defeated, and he is powerless to stop Li Yuntian and his party from returning to Qinglong City in Guanxi, so only by relying on the power of Dehuan, for Wendu, Li Yuntian must be left behind no matter what, only in this way will the Timurid Empire's attack on Daming become smooth.

"Taishi, Wen Du is afraid that he wants us to fight for him, now that the Ming army has made a loud noise in Sunset Valley, and the morale is booming, I am afraid that it will be extremely unfavorable to our army to intercept it at this time."

Subsequently, another general said in a deep voice, they have always been on guard against the Timurid Empire, and the Timurid Empire is naturally the same for the Northern Yuan, the two sides are at best just a combination of interests, and they will jointly deal with the powerful Ming Dynasty.

"Master Ben knows it in his heart." Tu Huan stretched out his hand to stop the other generals who wanted to open their mouths to advise, and said quietly, he knew that none of these generals here wanted to work for the Timurid Empire, let alone provoke Li Yuntian, who defeated Wendu at this time.

As expected by the Northern Yuan generals here, the envoys sent by Wendu came this time to ask Tuhuan to send troops to intercept Li Yuntian and Monte Khan, once Li Yuntian and Monte Khan passed through Turpan City, then I am afraid that no one will stop them from going to Guanxi Qinglong City.

According to the envoy, Wendu had already inflicted heavy losses on the main force of the Ming army led by Li Yuntian in the Sunset Valley, and the firearms carried by the Ming army had also been exhausted, which could be described as vulnerable, so as long as Tuhuan sent troops, Li Yuntian and Monte Khan would definitely be captured, and then the Northern Yuan and Timurid empires would be able to lead their troops to attack Jiayuguan and share the prosperity and wealth of the Ming Dynasty.

Without the slightest hesitation, he agreed to the envoy to send troops, and ordered a banquet for him to receive the wind and wash the dust, and his hospitality was very warm.

"Hmph, it's still vulnerable, do you really take this master for a fool?"

After the reception banquet, Tuohuan looked at the envoy of Wendu who was drunk and left with the two dancing girls, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, although he didn't know if Li Yuntian still had firearms in his hand, but judging from the fact that Wen Du and the others were chased by the Ming army like rabbits and fled, the main force of the Ming army was still there, and he was full to touch this mold.

"Pass on the order of the Ming army, launch a feint attack on the town where the Ming army is located, and create momentum for the Ming army, once the Ming army counterattacks, retreat immediately, and do not stop it, and those who violate the order will not be pardoned."

Waiting for the envoy to leave, Tuohuan gave an order to the generals present with an expressionless face, since Wen Du had already sent a messenger, then he naturally had to pretend, so that everyone could get by on face, after all, the two sides are still allies, and the relationship should not be too stiff.

"Yes!" Seeing that there was no need to meet Li Yuntian's sword soldiers, the generals present breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, bowed to Tuhuan and hurriedly went to make arrangements, preparing to perform this play.
