Sun Hao broke his promise to Aimu!

It turns out that in the Mosha church in Iron Lion City, there are many missionaries and even inquisitors, all of whom are young and beautiful women.

When Sun Hao discovered that the charm values of one of the priestesses of judgment and two of the priestesses of mission had reached 95 points, and that the charm value of another priestesses of mission had reached 96 points.

Without any hesitation, Sun Hao immediately arrested the four female priests and sent them to the royal palace in Iron Lion City.

Today, this centuries-old palace has become Sun Hao's temporary residence.

As for the other young and beautiful female priests, Sun Hao allowed them to leave Iron Lion City with the Blue Cardinal Nigard of the Mosha Religion for Aimu's sake.

Nygard is Emil's fiancé who is nearly fifty years old.

If it weren't for Aimu's promise, the other young and beautiful female priests would have been rewarded by Sun Hao to his subordinates.

When Aimu learned that Sun Hao had detained a female priest of trial and three female missionaries, she did not blame Sun Hao for breaking his promise. Instead, she mocked Sun Hao and told him to take care of his health and not die in a woman's belly at such a young age.

Sun Hao didn't care about Aimu's sarcasm. He calculated the time and estimated that Aimu was about six or seven months pregnant. So, regardless of Aimu's objection, he carried Aimu to the bed and let Aimu verify for herself whether there was any problem with his body.

As the capital of Gule Kingdom, Tieshi City gathers at least 80% of the dignitaries and nobles of Gule Kingdom, as well as more than half of the wealthy businessmen.

Although Sun Hao promised not to massacre the white people in the city when the defenders of Iron Lion City surrendered, he would not let go of the property of these dignitaries and wealthy businessmen.

During the process of house searches, more than two thousand young and beautiful white women were sent to the palace.

Among these more than 2,000 young and beautiful white women, Sun Hao found that the charm values of twelve people reached 95 points, the charm values of seven people reached 96 points, and the charm values of three people reached 97 points.

Sun Hao decided to take all of these 22 white women whose charm values met the requirements of the annual signing system as his concubines, regardless of their previous identities.

In addition, Sun Hao also found nine white women with suitable charm in the palace. They were all women of the second prince Sadiq, and were also taken as concubines by Sun Hao.

As for the remaining young white women in the palace, as well as other white women sent to the palace, they were basically distributed by Sun Hao to the brave generals and soldiers under his command.

The property looted from the palace, as well as the homes of dignitaries and wealthy businessmen, piled up like mountains. It could be said that almost all of the accumulation of the Gule Kingdom over hundreds of years fell into Sun Hao's hands.

Considering the need to maintain the operation of the Western Regions Protectorate in the future, Sun Hao did not absorb all the gold and silver into the "General Converter" this time. He only absorbed a small part of it and exchanged it for tens of thousands of generals of a hundred men.

Relying on the tens of thousands of newly emerged centurions, the Western Region Army immediately pursued the victory and divided its troops into several routes. In just one month, it captured hundreds of cities in the eastern and central regions of the Gule Kingdom.

Of course, the reason why the Western Region Army was able to capture hundreds of cities so smoothly was mainly because these cities hardly required the Western Region Army to launch a strong attack, and the Liang people in the city had already opened the city gates.

On March 13, 388 in the Daliang calendar, Sun Hao led the main force of the Western Region Army to the outskirts of Lishui City.

At this time, Lishui City, the most populous city in the Gule Kingdom, had fallen into the hands of the Western Region Army.

The purpose of Sun Hao leading the main force of the Western Region Army here was to fight against a larger coalition force.

After the third prince of Gule Kingdom, Magaji, narrowly escaped the night attack outside Hongshi City, he knew that with the strength of Gule Kingdom, it was no longer possible to compete with the Liang army.

So he led the remaining troops to retreat to the western region of Gule Kingdom, and ordered the defenders and white civilians in the cities along the way to retreat to the western region as well.

This is also the reason why Sun Hao's Western Region Army was able to easily occupy hundreds of cities, because the defenders of these cities had all fled.

By the time Megaji fled to Yashan City, an important western city of the Gul Kingdom, Megaji had gathered a full 300,000 Gul troops under his command, but most of them were white civilians who had just been recruited into the Gul Army.

At this time, the 120,000 troops sent by Puwan to support Gul also arrived at Yashan City.

The Wensu Kingdom, which was adjacent to the Gule Kingdom in the west, learned that the coalition forces had suffered a crushing defeat outside the Red Stone City and that the 70,000 Wensu troops were almost wiped out. It immediately mobilized an emergency army of 200,000 and arrived at Yashan City under the leadership of the famous Wensu general Duke Aisezi.

The other four small countries in the Western Regions that were adjacent to Gule State were very worried that Gule State would be annexed by Liang State, so they sent more reinforcements again.

The total number of troops sent to Yashan City by these four small countries in the Western Regions reached more than 80,000.

Aisaizi, the famous general of Wensu State, was finally chosen as the commander-in-chief of the 700,000-strong coalition army, and Dagati, the general of Puwan State, and Megaji, the third prince of Gule State, served as deputy commanders of the coalition army.

The 700,000-strong coalition army then marched eastward, preparing to defeat the Liang army in one fell swoop and recapture the central and eastern parts of the Gule Kingdom.

However, before the coalition forces recaptured any city, they encountered the main force of the Liang army outside Lishui City. A great battle that would determine the final ownership of the Gule Kingdom was about to take place here.

At the allied camp outside Lishui City, Commander Aisaiz stood atop a makeshift wooden watchtower, watching the Liang army setting up camp in the distance. He turned to Dagati, the commander of the Puwan army, and said, "General Dagati, do you think we could gain an advantage by sending a cavalry charge at this time?"

Dagati shook his head and said, "The Liang cavalry did not participate in setting up the camp, so it would be difficult for them to gain an advantage."

The head coach, Ai Saizi, then said, “I mainly want to see how powerful the Liang heavy cavalry is.

Your Puwan heavy cavalry is as famous in the Western Regions as the Parthian heavy cavalry. Could you please let me see them?"

As the most militarily powerful country among the five major powers in the Western Regions, the Parthian Empire's heavy cavalry's combat effectiveness has always been the best in the Western Regions for many years.

The Puwan heavy cavalry is as famous as the Parthian heavy cavalry because, like the Parthian heavy cavalry, their war horses are equipped with composite vests made of iron and cowhide, and the cavalry are all wearing iron armor.

The third prince of Gule State, Majiaji, who was standing nearby, said, "Back then, outside Hongshi City, we were ambushed by the Liang State's heavy cavalry, which led to our great defeat.

If it were a head-on clash, I believe the Liang heavy cavalry would be no match for the Puwan heavy cavalry."

Dagati hesitated for a moment and said, "In that case, I will send 20,000 heavy cavalry to test the combat effectiveness of Liang's heavy cavalry."
