The moment Totuo Buhua's head rolled down, none of the Turks present felt sad, only a few soldiers knelt there and cried loudly.
The flaws of the imperial system left the common people with no sense of boundaries and no so-called heroic role models.
In their eyes, Totu Buhua was the supreme master of the Turkic Empire and had nothing to do with them.
When he is alive, he may kneel down to him because of his status, but if he dies, he will die, and his former status and glory will disappear together with him.
Zhao Rui put away his long sword and bowed solemnly.
Very few people can possess the courage to stand up to the Turkic Empire when it was in danger and assemble an army of 900,000 to come for a decisive battle.
After disposing of these last elites, the next battle became much easier. The merchant army attacked the city and captured several surrounding grand duchies.
Many times the merchant army did not fight at all, but simply put the conquered Turkic people into the city. Within a few days, the entire city would collapse without attack.
In this way, Zhao Rui led the army and quickly advanced to the foot of Snow Country City.
At this moment, he already had 700,000 elite troops under his command. Except for the 50,000 horses Li Fei brought from Luo City and the 70,000 cavalry he recruited from the grasslands, the rest were all Turkic soldiers.
But the advancement speed is too fast and the battle line is stretched too long. Subsequent supplies will not be able to be delivered here for a while.
This also led to the fact that most of the Turkic soldiers still wore their original armor.
Zhao Rui doesn't care about this. As long as the 700,000 troops under his command are dispersed at his command, it doesn't matter what clothes they wear.
There was already chaos above the Snow Kingdom's court. No one expected that the merchant army would attack here so quickly, and that several surrounding principalities responsible for defending the royal capital also surrendered without a fight.
Geely Khan sat on the throne and trembled all over. His body was already in poor condition, and his spirit was stimulated. Coupled with the successive defeats, he had already gone crazy.
Sometimes he doesn't even know what he's talking about.
The ministers in the court were even more confused. Regardless of whether Jili Khan could understand what they said, he just kept giving advice below.
"hey-hey!"
Geely Khan's response to everyone was an extremely silly laugh.
"It's over. The three hundred years of foundation of the Turkic Empire will be destroyed in our hands."
Someone shouted, and half of the civil and military ministers in the court immediately fell to the ground and started wailing.
"What the hell is going on? My Turkic cavalry is invincible in the world. I have conquered countless countries in the past few years. Why can't I stop the army of Dashan?"
"No, things can still turn around. I think His Majesty the Khan is no longer suitable to be our Khan. How about replacing him with someone else, who might be able to make the Turkic Empire strong again."
...
The crying in the court gradually subsided, and everyone stood up one after another, staring at Geely Khan on the throne with strange eyes.
Indeed, Geely can no longer be a Khan!
Just as they were discussing which prince would succeed the throne, chaos suddenly broke out outside the hall.
"No, the merchant army has entered the city!"
The civil and military ministers in the court were frightened to death. According to their estimates, the Snow Kingdom could last at least a year and a half, but in less than a day, the city was broken.
The ministers who were still thinking about the future of the Turks just now, no matter how many there were, fled in all directions, and some even threw their official uniforms on the ground.
