Chapter 416: Destroying the Khan System Again
"Ahh... Help, save us..."
"Quick, stop them..."
"The weapons in their hands are too sharp. We can't resist them at all. Quick, escort the Khan and the others away!"
"Warriors, don't panic...ah..."
Seeing more and more people dying, many Western Hu people dared not attack anymore and just wanted to rush out and leave this hellish place. The Khan's family and ministers, who were protected by more than 10,000 people, were also pale and were trying to break out. But Wei Chengyi and his men wanted their lives, so how could they let them escape easily?
"Don't worry about the others, kill the Khan and his ministers first."
"yes."
Wei Chengyi and Qingying issued the same order almost at the same time, and the two teams of cavalry quickly surrounded the Khan.
"Damn it, we are surrounded, kill, kill them all!"
“Ahh…”
When they found themselves surrounded, it was too late. The cavalry led by Wei Chengyi and Qingying respectively killed most of the people with a few charges, leaving only more than a thousand people to protect the Khan's family and many Khan's ministers.
"kill!"
"No···"
The cold word "kill" was uttered, and the two teams of cavalry charged again. Everyone cried out in unison and even forgot to pick up their weapons to resist. They were frightened by Wei Chengyi and his men who seemed like gods of death. Soon, they became cold corpses. The Khan system of the Western Hu people was once again wiped out by them.
"Evacuate immediately."
"yes."
The people in Longcheng were either dead or fled, and the city was already empty. In order to prevent someone from coming to rescue him later, Wei Chengyi asked Qingying to lead the cavalry away first, while he and the guards went deep into Longcheng, found their treasure house, and put all the valuables and their stored cattle, sheep and horses into the space.
At the same time, the Binzhou army had arrived in Mingzhou and was stationed outside the city. When they learned that they had recently destroyed the 300,000-strong army of the Western Hu people, the faces of Wanqishan and his son turned ugly. Wei Chengyi was once a famous young general. Like his brother Wei Chengming, he reached a height that many generals could hardly reach in their lifetime at the age of eighteen. Unexpectedly, after being silent for a while, he became even more terrifying. They knew better than anyone that this battle would be difficult to fight.
Because Wei Chengyi had specially reorganized the army years ago, they had no spies in the army, and the government office and the county offices were all their people, like an iron plate, so they had no idea that Wei Chengyi was not in the army at all, and they missed the best opportunity to attack Chenzhou!
"Cheng Yi and Qing Ying have once again annihilated the Western Hu Khan system. The Western Hu army will not come. General Chen, lead the remaining cavalry and 50,000 infantry to the capital to reunite with General Peng. If Wanqishan and his men make a move, engage them immediately and show them the true strength of our Wei army."
As early as a few days ago, Shen Xiangwan asked General Peng to lead an army of 100,000 back to the city to garrison. Before Wei Chengyi came back, she did not plan to take the initiative to attack, because she wanted to save the lives of Wanqi Shan and his son here. There were not many generals in the court who could really fight. Without Wanqi Shan and his son, who could stop them from fighting back to the imperial city?
"yes."
The Western Hu people were like a wolf pack without a leader, without the Khan system. In addition, Wei Chengyi and his men had been elusive on the grassland for more than a month, and had destroyed countless tribes, large and small. They must have been scared out of their wits. Even if they still had the fighting power, they would not provoke them again. General Chen did not refute and respectfully accepted Shen Xiangwan's transfer order.
"In this way, there are only 100,000 troops left in the three border counties."
After the generals left, Yan Junling said in a deep voice.
"When Cheng Yi returns, you only need to leave 10,000 infantrymen on guard, and we will all go to the capital."
The Western Barbarians were no longer a threat; at least they wouldn't dare come again this year. The dog emperor's plan to leverage the Western Barbarians to eliminate them had undoubtedly been thwarted. Now, he must be regretting it like crazy. Because of his actions, the truth behind the old prince's and his men's deaths had become public knowledge. Not only had he lost the support of the people, but in less than a month, uprisings had broken out across the country, and Tianqi was in complete chaos.
"Are you sure you still want to go to the capital?"
Yan Junling glanced at her belly meaningfully. It was already May and she was more than six months pregnant. It was time for her to go home and prepare for the birth of her child.
"Forehead···"
Shen Xiangwan's forehead darkened, and the muscles at the corners of her mouth couldn't help twitching. With Wei Chengyi and everyone's concern for her, they probably wouldn't let her go to the capital city again.
"Sister-in-law, please trust us once in a while."
Shaking his head in amusement, Yan Junling suddenly spoke seriously again. He knew that during the more than one month that Brother Yi was away, it was all thanks to her to stabilize the morale of the army, but Brother Yi would not leave the army again, so she should rest assured and leave everything to them.
"I've always believed in you guys, okay?"
If she didn't believe it, how could she possibly hand everything over to them?
Shen Xiangwan sighed deeply: “Let’s talk about it when Chengyi comes back.”
She didn't have to argue with them, mainly because the army really couldn't do without her. Although she didn't do anything, as long as she was in charge of the army, the morale of the army would not be in chaos. Whether facing the Western Hu people or the Binzhou army, they would be in high spirits and be invincible!
"Well, Brother Yi should be back soon. I'll contact Yanzhi and the others."
With that, Yan Junling stood up and left the conference room. He had to integrate and dispatch all military resources, and was also very busy. It was a great luxury for him to have a few words with Shen Xiangwan every day.
"Ha... I'll go back and rest for a while."
Covering her mouth and yawning, Shen Xiangwan stood up while speaking. After she became pregnant, she became very sleepy and had to sleep for at least six or seven hours every day. She was either sleeping or preparing to sleep, as if she was possessed by the god of sleep.
Wei Chengyi didn't know that the Binzhou army that was sent to attack them had been stationed in the neighboring Mingzhou, and the two armies might clash at any time. In order to completely crush the pride of the Western Hu people and destroy their Dragon City, he and Qingying split into two groups and continued to harass and raid the major tribes of the Western Hu people. The entire grassland was in chaos because of them, and people and animals were uneasy.
Their mobility was too strong and their weapons and equipment were more powerful. Whether it was a surprise attack or a frontal battle, the Western Hu people were no match for them. After being harassed by them for more than two months, the Western Hu people had to admit defeat, and the major tribes migrated deeper into the grassland.
"Why are you so happy today?"
In the meeting room of the general's mansion, Mu Yunran saw Shen Xiangwan smiling like a fool as soon as she entered. She couldn't help but feel a little bit irritated. Time passed quickly. Shen Xiangwan was more than seven months pregnant. Her belly was swelling like a balloon. She would not go out unless she had nothing to do on weekdays. She basically stayed in the meeting room every day to handle government affairs on behalf of Wei Chengyi.
