Yi Nanchi stood under the deep blue night sky, gazing solemnly into the distance. This would be a battle that would determine the fate of the grasslands.

At this time, Bai Buhua should have already entered the territory of the Longyou Protectorate of the Song Dynasty. If he successfully defeated the Longyou Protectorate, the Song army would inevitably retreat.

If they fail, the tribes on the grasslands will suffer the heaviest blow since the Tang Dynasty and may submit to the Chinese.

At this time, Khabul was secretly plotting with Yelü Dashi to reap the benefits after the Song emperor and Yinanchi had fought to the death.

At this moment, Zhe Keqiu returned home dejectedly.

Wu Jie also temporarily stayed in Beifu.

When Qian Gai received news from Yue Fei's messenger that the nomadic tribes of the grasslands were attacking, he dismissed it out of disdain for Yue Fei.

It wasn't until Pan Weizhi's Imperial Guards placed concrete evidence of the enemy's presence on his desk that he hastily ordered a defense.

But it was clearly too late.

Faced with such a large-scale surprise attack from the enemy, the already fragile defenses in the west were simply unable to withstand it.

Moreover, this time, the Qing Tang tribe and the Zuo Duo Fan troops were involved, and the western territory of the Longyou Protectorate almost collapsed.

When Qian Gai ordered the defense, Bai Buhua had already swept through the heart of the Western Regions with an army of 300,000, advancing straight down to the Hehuang region.

When he arrived in the Hehuang region, the local people responded to his call and quickly joined Baibuhua's army. In just a few days, Baibuhua's army rapidly expanded to 500,000 men.

Unstoppable, they swept through the land with unstoppable momentum.

Bai Buhua boasted, "Even with the Song army from Suzhou and Xuanhua coming south to support us, I can still defeat the Song army!"

The following day, Bai Buhua's army of 500,000 men arrived at Huangzhou City.

There were 100,000 Song troops in Huangzhou, and Qian Gai, the military commissioner of the Longyou Protectorate, was stationed there.

At this time, Huangzhou was under full scrutiny.

They also sent letters of support to Xiliang Prefecture and Xingqing Prefecture to the north.

Qian Gai, standing atop the city wall, could see an endless barbarian army stretching out below, like a vast ocean.

It was as if they could shake the clouds in the sky apart with just a shout.

Once Huangzhou falls, Kuozhou will be easily within our grasp.

The most important defense line in the Northwest has been breached, and Bai Buhua will penetrate deep into the Shaanxi region of the Song Dynasty, exposing Xihe Road and Qinfeng Road to the iron hooves of the barbarians.

These were among the important grain transport routes for the emperor's northern expeditions to the grasslands.

Once breached, it would not only cause heavy losses to the Song Dynasty in Shaanxi, but also shake the morale of the troops at the front, and cut off at least half of the Song Dynasty's food supply.

This is fatal.

Qian Gai felt incredibly heavy-hearted. He never dreamed that the various tribes in the Northwest, who had always been divided, would rebel with such overwhelming force.

Without any warning!

Since the opening of the border at Xihe, the northwestern tribes of the Great Song Dynasty have always been like weather vanes, constantly changing their allegiance. The Tibetan tribes would sometimes submit to the Great Song Dynasty, sometimes unite with the barbarians of the Western Regions, and sometimes ally with the Dangxiang.

But it has never been this thorough before.

Bai Buhua himself did not expect to arrive in Huangzhou so smoothly.

This grassland crisis was almost easily resolved.

Baibuhua immediately ordered an attack on the city.

He also claimed that if each soldier in his army spat out a drop of saliva, it would create a flood that could breach the city gates of Huangzhou.

Those who know what's good for them should quickly open the city gates and surrender.

But this spirited state only lasted two days before Bai Buhua encountered the shadow of his life: Yue Fei!

Two days later, one afternoon, the sky in the northwest was cloudless, perfect weather for battle, and Baibuhua's army was vigorously attacking the city.

Behind them, a Song cavalry force of 60,000 men pursued them all the way, as if they were about to carve a deep trench in the northwest land.

This army was formerly known as the Wolf Killing Army.

Their current designation is the Beiwei Army!

Like Baibuhua, the Beiwei Army encountered no significant obstacles on its southward march.

They charged straight into Huangzhou territory and suddenly found themselves behind Baibuhua's lines.

The last rear of the Baibuqa army.

"Did you hear anything?"

"No, don't think too much. Focus on attacking the city. After we take the city, we might be able to squeeze in, grab some loot, and take it back to my son!"

"Didn't you hear anything?"

"What's that sound... Wait, the ground is shaking!"

They both looked back at the same time and gasped in shock.

This battle was immediately included in the classic cases of the Imperial Military Academy after its conclusion, and was ranked alongside the Battle of Fei River when Fu Jian attacked the Eastern Jin Dynasty hundreds of years earlier, both being classic cases of defeating a superior force with a smaller one.

The wind howled and the cranes cried.

Yang Zaixing was the first to rush in. He thrust his spear into the skull of a barbarian soldier who was already stunned with fear, piercing the skull in an instant. Blood and brain matter splattered out and arced through the air.

What followed were countless soldiers of the Beiwei Army.

The slaughter begins!

They were like a torrent of steel, crashing into the rear of Baibuqa's army, splashing up waves of blood.

Looking down from above, the red torrent, with unstoppable force, is sweeping away the enemy troops in front of it.

The earth trembled, raising clouds of dust.

Song Jun thrust his spear forward, piercing the back of the enemy's head, causing blood to gush out.

An axe could split a face bone in two.

The iron mace was swung wildly in the air, slamming into people's heads and crushing them in one blow.

The sharp sabers were even faster at reaping, almost flying past before someone was sliced ​​in two by the sharp blade.
