The Nine Khans are the top priority in this battle.
Only by sending these people to Zhenbei Pass can the greatest effect be achieved.
Otherwise, it would be selfish to simply keep it in your hands and seek credit from the court.
Although Song Hongzhi also wanted to achieve a truly unprecedented achievement, he also knew that this battle would make his resume even more dazzling.
But what he wanted more was to completely resolve the Zhenbei Pass crisis through this battle.
After watching Chen Xian escort the nine Khans away.
Song Hongzhi also ordered to clean up the battlefield as quickly as possible, and then retreated to Gaoyang with his soldiers.
He knew that he had achieved his goal in this battle, and continuing to fight would only be icing on the cake. Besides, his soldiers had been constantly attacking in the grassland for a while, and it was time for them to take a break.
Although Song Hongzhi did not love his soldiers like his own sons as much as the Marquis of Shenwu, he also cherished the lives of his soldiers very much.
I don't want to waste the lives of my soldiers in vain in the war, so retreating is the best option now.
As for the ending of this battle, let the old marquis handle it.
Immediately.
Under his command.
The soldiers under his command left the Keqin area as quickly as possible.
Of course, during this period, Song Hongzhi did not forget to see if he could pacify some grassland people.
Although they are enemies, if they can be used well, there will be unexpected results. He also admires the horsemanship of these grassland people.
It would definitely be a good idea to call back some people from Zhao'an and ask them to help train his soldiers in riding and shooting.
He knew very well that as long as all his ideas were realized, he would have an unprecedented elite army under his command in the future.
Only then will you truly begin to make unprecedented achievements.
However, as for those who dare not accept surrender.
Song Hongzhi did not hesitate and directly ordered the execution. This was a battlefield, not a game of house, and people would die. Since they refused to accept the surrender, letting them go would only bring trouble, so it would be better to kill them directly.
In this way, he ended his first battle on the grassland.
Although the process was very fast, it was just running around in the grassland.
But in fact.
This was a war that was enough to change the situation between the Wei Dynasty and the grassland, and it was destined to go down in history.
...
Zhenbei Pass.
After several days of rest and reorganization.
The garrison at Zhenbei Pass once again returned to its previous state.
Whether it was soldiers or generals, everyone was in high spirits.
In the last great battle, the Keqin grassland was attacked by Song Hongzhi, and the grassland army was thrown into disarray.
This allowed them to seize the opportunity to counterattack and achieve very good results. Although Zhenbei Pass also suffered losses and casualties in that battle, these were nothing compared to the results of the battle.
It should be noted that since Marquis Shenwu went north and took over the power of guarding Zhenbei Pass, he has been mainly focusing on defense and has not launched any active attacks on the grassland army.
Although doing so can minimize our own losses, it can also prevent the enemy from entering the pass.
But for those passionate soldiers, it was indeed a bit suffocating.
This time, they swept away the previous haze.
In other words, it means to feel proud.
So these days.
Everyone in Zhenbei Pass seemed very excited.
However, at this moment, the senior generals in the Marshal's Mansion were all frowning.
Marquis Shenwu once again looked at the sand table in front of him, thinking continuously in his mind, his face a little heavy.
This is because they got the news.
Although the grassland army was in chaos due to the attack on the Keqin area last time and suffered heavy losses after being pursued by them, those people have been organized again in the past few days. Even if they have only gathered an army of 150,000, their combat power should not be underestimated.
Because this time, the grassland army wanted to avenge the Khan.
I think the other party already knew about the attack on Keqin.
It is an army affiliated with the Great Wei.
But we have no idea who is leading it.
But these are of no meaning to the people of the grassland. They just need to know that it was the Wei Dynasty that took action.
So in a short period of time, they once again gathered their army and marched towards Zhenbei Pass. In fact, this was nothing to the Divine Martial Marquis. After all, they had encountered this situation many times and had repelled the enemy many times.
But this time, the grassland army came with hatred, and the war will surely be extremely fierce once it starts.
Perhaps they will spend all means to break through Zhenbei Pass.
Because the other party does not know whether their Khan is dead or alive, in this situation, they will definitely fight to the death.
Just imagine, if it were the Wei Dynasty, and His Majesty the Emperor was attacked by the enemy, it would be a great shame and humiliation. No one in the military could tolerate it.
So what Zhenbei Pass will face next will be an extremely brutal battle.
"My Lord, the news we've received is that the grassland army has assembled 150,000 troops and is rapidly gathering towards us. If nothing unexpected happens, the battle between the two sides will begin within three days."
A general took a look at the sand table, and then estimated the time when the war would start based on the information he had received previously.
The others also nodded, their expressions very serious, even though the grassland army was not good at attacking cities.
But if it is a fight of life, it will undoubtedly be very tricky.
As the saying goes, the army that mourns will win.
Fighting a huge army full of hatred is indeed a headache.
"I anticipated this a long time ago." Marquis Shenwu nodded and said, "Any other news? For example, from the imperial court, or from the Gaoyang region?"
