How could it be that there were too many Khorezm people, and the encirclement could not rush into it at once, so it could not recover the defeat, after all, there were more than 100,000 people on the other side, even if it was a shot, it would take time.

"I don't believe it, this Khorezm man is an impregnable wall!" Yang Guangye raised his spear and stabbed the enemy group in front of him again. Those Khorezm people were like crazy, and they turned and pounced on Yang Guangye's reserves.

Yang Guangye was on fire, and used the Yang family's big gun's nirvana - Soul Breaking Marksmanship, picked dozens of people in a row, led his troops to forcibly kill a bloody road, and finally rushed to the side of the boss who was unlucky and bald, shouting: "Brother, come with me!" ”

"Master Pony, don't worry about me! Just let me and kill a few more Khwarazmians to avenge my brothers! The bloodied man raised his scimitar and laughed miserably.

Yang Guangye picked up a shot and slashed at the enemy who was unlucky and bald: "Ridiculous! With so many people, can you kill them all? ”

"Master Pony, I really regret not listening to ......" Lost luck wiped the blood stains from the corners of his mouth.

"Don't be long-winded, if you don't leave, we'll all have to die here." Yang Guangye said hurriedly.

As he spoke, the tide-like Khwarazm people surrounded him again, and Yang Guangye and the unlucky man joined forces to kill the enemy and retreat to the position of the reserve, and the Mongolian cavalry that broke through together was less than 200 people......

The Battle of Baluwan was not so much a war as a massacre of the Mongol army by Khorezm, with the entire elite of 30,000 Mongol troops annihilated, the biggest defeat of the Mongol army since its westward expedition.

After Genghis Khan learned the news of the defeat of the Mongol army in Baluwan, he was very sad, and in addition to blaming the prison army Yang Guangye and losing his luck and sudden bursts, he did not punish the two of them, after all, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers. Then Genghis Khan personally led an army of 100,000 and attacked Zalandin's defense line in a rage.

After the victory at Baluwan, the "politically retarded" Zalandin caused the generals to be separated because of the unfair distribution of the spoils of war, and tens of thousands of troops scattered overnight, losing the opportunity to take advantage of the victory to expand the results of the war. In addition, some nobles also left Zalandin for fear of reprisals.

The frightened Zalandin had no choice but to lead tens of thousands of troops and turn to the old nest brother Chening again, where he replenished grain and grass.

After staying for several days, Zalandin was not sure, and always felt that the Mongol army would come at any time, and withdrew south with his troops.

When November came, the Mongol cavalry, which had been pursuing Zalandin day and night, reached the Indus River and caught up with Zalandin's army, which was crossing the river and fleeing to India. Most of his soldiers were scattered on the way to escape, and there were less than 20,000 horses.

Long before the decisive battle with the Mongols, in order to avoid humiliation for his wife, Sultan Zalandin drove his concubines and children into the Indus River and drowned, and threw countless treasures into the river, determined to fight against the water.

Out of respect for his strong opponent, Genghis Khan whimically demanded that the Mongol troops participating in the battle not shoot Zalandin, but must capture him alive. For this reason, many generals did not understand Genghis Khan's approach.

After most of Khorezm's army was routed, they fled in all directions, except for the 7,000 men of the Guards led by Zalandin, who held their positions and fought from early morning until noon, fighting a large number of Mongol troops.

Of course, this is Genghis Khan's tactic of "surrendering without a fight", otherwise these Khorezmian people would not be enough to stuff their teeth.

One by one, the retinue fell, and Zalandin had no intention of retreating, but continued to attack the Mongol army. Zalandin was surrounded by the Mongol army led by Jebe and Subutai, fought desperately, was seriously wounded, and still slashed and killed several people, with the courage of Zhao Yun Changbanpo.

Because Genghis Khan did not allow his subordinates to fire arrows at Zalandin, the Mongol army had to gradually shrink the encirclement and cut down the few retinues of Zalandin without mercy.

Seeing the Mongol army as strong as a mountain and a sea of many people rolling in, it was futile to continue to resist uselessly, and if he didn't get his last foundation, he would be exhausted.

After exhausting himself after a fierce battle, Zalandin resolutely jumped from the cliff leaping horse into the rough Indus River, miraculously crossing the river to the opposite bank.

Genghis Khan, who watched the whole battle, was shocked by Zalandin's bravery, pointed at Zalandin's distant back with a horsewhip, and told his son: No one has ever seen such a hero in the world, and no one has heard of such a person among the ancient warriors! Since he was able to escape death from the battlefield, he would definitely be able to accomplish many great deeds and cause countless troubles in the future.

Yang Guangye was very dissatisfied with his father-in-law's approach: "Father Khan, you must remove the roots of the grass, let Zalandin go today, and there will be endless troubles." ”

Genghis Khan was silent.

Ogedai also complained: "Father, we still forcibly crossed the Indus River, captured Zalandin alive, cut off his head, and paid tribute to the brothers who died in Baluwan!" ”

"Enough!" Genghis Khan immediately decided, "Pass the order, and our army will immediately attack the Indus Plain!" ”

"Everyone is running away, and they are chasing a yarn!" Yang Guangye muttered.

"If you can't catch up, you have to chase me!" Genghis Khan squinted at Yang Guangye.

"Yes, yes!"

Yang Guangye led his troops across the Indus River and pursued Zalandin, but the guy ran too fast, and the Mongol army did not find Zalandin.

After staying in India for more than ten days, the hot weather made the Mongolian army very uncomfortable, and Yang Guangye had to withdraw from the Indus River Plain with the Mongolian army.

After the Mongol army retreated in 1224, Zalandin was able to return to Persia and borrow troops from the Abbasids to regain some of the lost territory, and he continued to thrive for more than a decade, becoming the Mongol enemy in Central Asia.

Zalandin successively occupied Qierman, Isfahan and other regions, and the rivers west of the Amu Darya River were all owned, and their power was restored. Soon after, there was a war with the caliph Nasir, which led to the annexation of Azerbaijan and Georgia.

After having a little bit of success, Zalandin did not want to forge ahead, did not set up defenses, and used military force to conquer *** country, which caused the dissatisfaction of *** disciples, and Khorezm fell apart again.

In 1228, a Mongol army advanced to Isfahan, but Zalandin was defeated and broke through on horseback. Zalandin, who survived the catastrophe, continued to warn against a powerful opponent and continued his war of plunder and expansion, sending troops to capture the Thorns and invade the Sultanate of Rûm (in Asia Minor).

In 1230, he was defeated by a coalition of powers led by the Sultan of Rûm and forced to negotiate peace and return the country. At this time, the Mongol general Shanli was ordered by Ogedai Hehan to lead the army to the west, and directly took Tabriz, and Zalandin fled in panic.

Since the restoration of the country, Zalandin has not done anything to rectify the internal affairs, but has blindly used military force, killed and plundered and oppressed the people in the conquered areas, and indulged in alcohol, so that he has greatly lost the support of the people.

In 1231, under the close pressure of the Mongol army, Zalandin fled into the Kurdistan Mountains, where he was killed by angry mountain people, and his remnants were scattered, thus ending the Second Empire of Khorezm!

Zalandin was able to restore the country because Genghis Khan gave him a chance. In the Indus Valley, if Genghis Khan had listened to the advice of his sons Ögedei and Yang Guangye, Zalandin would have died long ago, and there would have been no need for the Mongol army to pursue and kill him again and again. Therefore, on the battlefield, a commander must not be too merciful to the enemy, otherwise he will be joking with the lives of his soldiers......

On the other hand, the emperor of Western Xia died, and during the period of the Mongol army's westward expedition, he secretly united with the surrounding countries of Mongolia to attack the Mongolian backyard. Polu, the general who was stationed in Mongolia, sensed the conspiracy of the Western Xia, and attacked the Western Xia from east to west in 1224, and successfully captured the Yinzhou of the Western Xia and captured the Western Xia general Tahai.

As soon as Genghis Khan returned to the homeland of the Troubled River with his army, he only rested for half a month, and then began to formulate a battle plan to completely eliminate Western Xia. He wanted to teach the capricious Emperor Xianzong of Western Xia, Li Dewang, and decided to lead his troops to invade the sandbanks of Western Xia.

In 1226, Genghis Khan attacked Western Xia again under the pretext of violating the peace treaty, and Genghis Khan, who led the main army, successively took Heishui City, Helan Mountain, and reached Hunntui Mountain. General Atachi led another army to link the military towns of Kegan, Shazhou and Suzhou. The Mongolian army destroyed the military vitality of the Dangxiang clan in one fell swoop, and advanced step by step, and Li Dewang was like a bird with a frightened bow, and died of excessive anxiety, and Li Wei, the king of Nanping, ascended the throne, known as the late Xia Emperor in history.

In August of the same year, the Mongol army crossed the Yellow River nine times, successfully occupied Yingli, Xiazhou and other places, besieged Lingzhou, and successfully captured Jishi Prefecture and Xining. After the winter, when Genghis Khan was hunting wild horses in Aerbuhe (now Arbas), he was frightened by the green leopard flower horse, and at the age of 64, he fell from his horse and was seriously injured, refused to withdraw from the army for treatment, and insisted on attacking Western Xia with his injuries. At this point, only the last territory of Western Xia, Zhongxingfu, did not fall.

In May 1227, the desperate Emperor Li Wei had no choice but to send an envoy to Genghis Khan to ask for a one-month grace to surrender the city, and Genghis Khan agreed to his request.

In July, Genghis Khan, who had become ill from hard work, fell ill in Lingzhou, and a generation of Tianjiao died suddenly. Before he died, he made a will: "After my death, I will not mourn for the time being, and when the Xia lord surrenders the city, he and all the soldiers and civilians in Zhongxing Mansion will be killed." ”

Soon, the late Emperor of Western Xia surrendered out of the city, and the Western Xia officially fell, and the 22-year battle between Mongolia and Western Xia also ended. According to Genghis Khan's last wish, Tuo Lei killed the last emperor, and the Mongol army immediately slaughtered the city in the capital Zhongxingfu, most of the buildings and cultural relics were destroyed and destroyed, and the corpses were everywhere for a time. The bustling Zhongxing Mansion has almost become a ghost town.

Yang Guangye and the general Chahan discussed: "The Dangxiang clan is also one of my members of the Chinese family, and the Great Khan has returned from the Western Expedition and his temperament has changed greatly. Now that Zhongxing Mansion has fallen, the soldiers and people of Western Xia are the people of our Mongol Empire, so it may not be appropriate to slaughter them like this. ”

Chahan also did not agree with the practice of supervising the state and dragging mines: "The general is reasonable, and God has the virtue of a good life." Moreover, the Jin, Dali, Tubo, and Southern Song Dynasty were all under the army, and the number of Mongol warriors was limited, and more soldiers were needed for the campaign. Uniting them can reduce the casualties of the Mongol knights, killing two birds with one stone, so why not? So the two of them went to see Tuo Lei.
