Tolui was a little uneasy. For some reason, he kept thinking back to the scene when Huo Qubing entered the desert.
They called that desert the Sea of Death and the Land of Lost. No herdsmen who went deep into it came out again. It was a forbidden area for their grassland people.
So many days had passed, and logically, Huo Qubing should have died in the desert, but he was always uneasy and often dreamed of Huo Qubing stabbing him in the back.
Especially recently, that uneasiness has become increasingly clear.
"Marshal."
A voice from outside the tent interrupted him.
Tuo Lei discarded the unrealistic ideas in his mind. Even for the people of Damu, once they entered the Sea of Death, there would be no return. He did not believe that a general of the Great Xia Dynasty like Huo Qubing could have any hope after entering the Sea of Death.
"What is it?"
"General Chagatai has sent a message asking when we will march to attack the Daxia Legion?"
"Send a message to my second brother, Daxia has a strong army and many talented generals, so we should not underestimate the enemy. After we have rested, we will set off again tomorrow." Tolui said seriously.
"yes."
The messenger took his leave, and Tolui frowned. He couldn't tell for a moment whether his uneasiness came from the Great Xia army led by Yue Fei, or from the long-missing Huo Qubing.
The army, assembled with all the strength of the Great Mongol Empire, faced a vast grassland with no strategic location to defend. The only option was a head-on confrontation. Everyone knew that success or failure depended on this one move.
…
"General, the White Guards are reporting back: Halekhorin ahead."
The messenger suppressed his excitement and reported the news brought back by the scout.
Everyone knew what this meant. They appeared in the imperial court of the Mongol Empire without anyone noticing.
Upon hearing this, Huo Qubing's eyes became sharp and his aura soared, but he quickly suppressed it.
"How many defenders are there in the city?"
"General, we don't know yet! The Tabai Army is afraid of alerting the enemy, so they dare not enter the city to investigate."
Huo Qubing nodded slightly.
"Send the Tabai Army back and order them to rest in place. They will march tonight at midnight. Post sentries five miles away to maintain alert."
"yes."
When Huo Qubing learned that Hallerhelin was ahead, he was more excited than anyone else, but he suppressed the urge to attack.
If they attacked in broad daylight and were discovered, they would have to pay a higher price to take Halle and Lyng.
Along the way, they covered their tracks very well. The grassland was very large, and any tribes they encountered along the way were slaughtered, leaving no chance for them to leak any information.
Maybe in a few days or more than ten days, someone will discover that those tribes have been massacred, but it will not matter by then.
The people of the Great Mongol Empire would never have dreamed that an elite cavalry would appear in the heart of the grassland.
The entire army is resting!
On the prairie, there is only the sound of wind blowing the grass.
…
It was late at night and the weather was cold. There was no moonlight on the vast grassland and it was almost pitch dark. There was only a little fire on the top of the Hallerhelin city wall to keep the sentries warm.
"I don't know what's going on on the front lines. I heard that this time, the whole country is trying to make this happen. If we don't succeed, the country will be destroyed."
The person who spoke was Ketuo, a typical grassland Hu man, wearing a fur hat and sable fur, with a rough voice and a beard. At this moment, Ketuo's expression was full of worry.
"The Great Xia Empire is a bit strong, mainly because they have a large population. If it weren't for our vast land and the Great Curtain separating us, we would have been like Goguryeo long ago."
The old Hu man beside him sighed, his slightly weathered eyes filled with confusion and sorrow. It seemed as if the outcome of this national war had already been foreseen, but they simply refused to accept it.
"It would be great if the Central Plains was still the late Eastern Han Dynasty. It's a pity that it was unified by the Emperor of Daxia." Ke Tuo complained, sighed, looked up at the sky, and remained silent for a long time.
"The Central Plains has always been very strong. This time, many countries wanted to attack together and dismember Daxia, but they counterattacked. Alas, this is God's will." The old Hu man didn't say much, and there was only sadness in his expression.
They are veterans.
The threat from Daxia is too great. Now all the people in the Mongol Empire are soldiers. Even if they don't want to, they still have to enlist, otherwise their country will be destroyed.
The young and strong soldiers went to the front line with the army, leaving the elderly veterans to guard Halle and Rum.
The north wind blows and the night is cold.
Suddenly, a roar came from a distance.
As sons of the grassland, they knew very well that this was the sound of horses running, and a large herd of horses was approaching.
At the gates of Hallerhorn, as if awakened, they simply stared at the dark distance where the sound came from. A black torrent was approaching them. When they were dozens of meters away, they could see its true form. There were tens of thousands of them.
"Enemy attack!"
After seeing the appearance of the leading general, Ketuo widened his eyes, and shouted with fear, using all his strength.
puff!
An arrow pierced his throat and Ketuo's voice stopped abruptly.
"Form a formation."
Huo Qubing was at the front, activating the cavalry formation, gathering the strength of the entire army, and breaking the city in one blow before the city defenses were opened.
"kill!"
Huo Qubing tore off his disguised Hu clothing, revealing a set of armor with a fierce look in his eyes.
The emperor saved his life and recognized his talent. He was young, and coming with the army to serve as a general was an exceptional promotion, so he had to make some achievements.
Haller and Lin was his first gift to His Majesty.
There were flames, shouts and sounds of killing in chaos.
Huo Qubing's troops descended from the sky like divine soldiers, unstoppable all the way, marched into Kharkhorin and headed straight for the imperial court of the Mongol Empire.
The whole of Haller and Lin was engulfed in flames and panic, and the killing continued until dawn.
…
A bright red sun appeared in the sky.
Ogedei looked at the young Daxia general in front of him with despair and confusion.
He never imagined that the royal family of the Mongol Empire would be wiped out by such a young general of Daxia.
