After receiving the telegram from the capital, Mu Yunyan also accepted the commendation.
In addition, Mu Yunyan also ordered that Black Tent City be renamed Mengchi City.
Mengchi City!
The three large characters were also engraved on the city wall, and even inside the city, a stonemason carved a huge statue of Muyun Rock, which is erected for people to admire.
And this is also His Majesty's reward for Mu Yunyan!
Mu Yunyan didn't pay much attention to these things.
At this moment, Mu Yunyan was pondering how to proceed with the upcoming battle.
Although the great battle on the Black Horde steppe ended with the complete annihilation of the Black Horde's nearly 400,000-strong allied army, the war between the Great Khanate and the allied forces was not over.
But this is just the beginning!
After all, the Black Horde's coalition forces consisted not only of the Black Horde, but also of the White Horde and the Golden Horde, which were closely allied with the Black Horde.
Although the Black Horde has now been destroyed, the White Horde and Golden Horde, who participated in the war, cannot be spared.
If they are left behind, the hostile Great Gan Kingdom will still exist on this vast grassland!
These two khanates were like two thorns!
It was pierced beside the bed of the Great Gan Kingdom!
Therefore, Mu Yunyan decided to obey the imperial edict from the capital and remove these two thorns!
Since we want to remove the thorns, we must completely cripple and defeat the White Horde and the Golden Horde, and take over their territories to the Great Khanate!
Zhang Le, as the commander-in-chief, personally led six cavalry divisions south.
After sweeping away the remnants of the Black Horde, the army reached the outskirts of the White Horde.
The White Horde was not like the Black Horde. Although they shared the same origin, the White Horde had a smaller territory and fewer troops.
When the allied forces were formed earlier, the White Horde had already sent 50,000 troops to participate in the war, which can be said to be nearly half of the White Horde's military strength.
The annihilation of these 50,000 troops was a huge blow to the White Horde.
Therefore, they were completely helpless when facing Zhang Le's six cavalry divisions.
"Commander Zhang,"
An aide approached Zhang Le and asked, "How do we fight this battle?"
"No problem!"
Zhang Le smiled and said with a disdainful look, "The White Horde doesn't have many troops. The fact that our army has come is enough to make them look bad! Since we're here, let's try to pacify the entire White Horde in one battle! Therefore, I've decided that we should split up and advance in regiments to sweep across the entire White Horde! We should maintain a certain distance from each other so that we can provide timely support if we spot the main force of the White Horde!"
"good!"
The order was immediately issued.
Zhang Le's six cavalry divisions, divided into a total of twenty armies, lined up in a row across the territory of the White Horde, and sped toward the capital of the White Horde.
The arrival of the large army caused great panic throughout the White Horde.
The news, especially from the Black Horde, that their entire army of 400,000 had been wiped out, still shocked everyone.
Therefore, upon hearing that Zhang Le's large army had arrived, the garrison commanders of some cities began to flee.
The defending general who did not flee encountered the most difficult moment of his life after facing the massive army.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Even though these large cavalry divisions were not equipped with artillery, the explosions of cluster grenades still caused the defending generals in the city a great deal of trouble.
In a short time, the violent explosion blew open the city gate.
Meanwhile, the main force charged into the city under the fierce suppression of rifle fire.
In less than two hours, they had already occupied the entire city.
At the same time, armies from all sides swept across the entire White Horde.
In just a few days, Zhang Le's troops had marched south to a place less than a hundred miles from the capital of the White Horde.
The White Horde lost most of its territory.
When this news reached the ears of Ulusoddai, the Khan of the White Horde, it caused him great panic.
"What?"
Khan Ulusoddai slumped in his chair, staring blankly ahead, his eyes somewhat vacant.
After a long while, Khan Ulusoddai finally murmured and asked, "You said the Great Gan Army has already reached within a hundred li north of the capital?"
One hundred li!
For Khan Ulusodtai, who was born on horseback, he naturally understood the meaning of one hundred li.
A cavalry charge could reach the city walls in less than half a day.
At that time, how can the capital city, with only 10,000 or 20,000 people, possibly hold out?
For a moment, Khan Ulusoddai was somewhat downcast.
He immediately summoned the civil and military officials in the city to discuss how to deal with the situation.
However, the endless discussion continued for an hour or two without any result.
Just as these civil and military officials were discussing the matter, a series of muffled sounds came from outside the city.
The main force has arrived!
When this news reached the royal palace, Khan Ulusodtai felt a chill run down his spine and asked in a daze, "How many soldiers have come?"
"Khan,"
A trusted aide bowed and said, "There are about 20,000 troops outside the city, all equipped with extremely powerful firearms..."
"firearms?"
These people had already heard about the equipment of the large army.
They naturally knew that while the Black Horde's nearly 400,000-strong allied army had been completely wiped out, their opponents' large army had suffered very few losses.
And all of this is thanks to these firearms!
Moreover, the White Horde was close to Persia and had a great deal of knowledge about firearms.
Therefore, upon hearing this news, everyone in the White Horde was somewhat apprehensive.
The 20,000 troops outside the city were like the Sword of Damocles hanging over the White Horde, ready to fall at any moment!
Therefore, everyone in the palace was in a very low mood.
"Khan,"
After a long silence, a minister sighed and said, “The Da Gan army outside the city is coming with overwhelming force. Even the Black Horde Khanate's allied forces are no match for them. How can we possibly stop them with just one or two thousand men in the city? Khan, rather than fight to the death, it would be better to take this opportunity to surrender to the Da Gan Kingdom. This way, we can preserve the bloodline of our White Horde Khanate and protect the people in the city!”
"surrender?"
Upon hearing this suggestion, Khan Ulusodtai did not rebuke him but instead fell into deep thought.
He knew that surrendering was the only way for him to survive.
After thinking for a long time, Khan Ulusodtai nodded and said, "Surrender!"
Immediately, the White Horde capital opened its gates and announced its surrender.
Meanwhile, Zhang Le's troops, stationed outside the city, marched into the capital in a grand procession and announced their takeover of the entire White Horde.
After Khan Ulusodtai surrendered, the remaining cities of the White Horde also surrendered one after another.
At this point, the entire territory of the White Horde was brought under the rule of the Great Khanate!
