The Northern Expedition's surprise attack succeeded in defeating the Muli tribe, which greatly boosted the morale of the troops led by Yunyang himself.
Yunyang and other generals did not need to boost their morale, but their military exploits boosted the morale of the Northern Expedition soldiers.
The cold wind blowing on his face like a knife blade is no longer so cold, and his mind is filled with the belief of becoming a prince and a general.
King Muli's toughness was beyond the expectations of Yunyang and others. He went through almost all the common interrogation and punishments. This guy gritted his teeth and did not utter a single word.
Yunyang and others had no choice but to order him to be imprisoned together with the prisoners of the Muli tribe. After leaving a considerable force to guard him, they embarked on a new journey.
The target is directly at the Zhahe tribe who is scouting the movements of the Northern Expedition.
Under such weather, no news of the powerful attack on the Muli tribe was leaked out at all, which made Yunyang and the others very lucky.
Confidence in attacking the Turkic royal court became even higher.
Compared to the Jin Kingdom guards who guarded the city, there were only some Turkic tribes surrounded by simple fences in the wilderness, which was simply too simple for the dragon soldiers and horses.
It takes almost no effort to capture a tribe.
However, the danger of leaking secrets is always there.
Whenever a fish slips through the net and escapes the encirclement of the army, it means that the plan to raid the Turkic royal court will be more dangerous.
Therefore, Yunyang and the others always asked their soldiers to fight quickly and rush to the Turkic royal court as quickly as possible.
Before the Turkic royal court received the news, the encirclement of the army was completed in one fell swoop.
The soldiers and horses from Yunyang were directed towards the next Zhahe tribe, and the soldiers and horses led by Wan Mingliang also began to lead troops towards the Turik tribe.
On the snowy wilderness more than ten miles away from the Turik tribe, Wan Mingliang put away the map in his hand, and after confirming that the direction was correct with the compass general, he launched a surprise attack on the Turkic Turik tribe.
“General Yun!”
“The end is here!”
“According to the plan, you will lead 30,000 cavalry troops in two groups to outflank the Turik tribe, and the main force of this general will directly attack the Turik camp.
You gradually close the encirclement, and be sure not to let out a single Turk."
“General Nangong!”
“The end is here!”
"The snow is so heavy that the golden eagle can no longer distinguish its direction. You lead a thousand elite soldiers to inform the main battle army in the rear and quickly keep up with the pace of my front army."
“The last general takes orders.”
Yun Chong put the map in his arms and recalled it carefully before looking at the lieutenant beside him.
“Vice General Chang!”
“The end is here!”
“Take half of your brothers and cooperate with me to outflank the Turik tribe. Pay attention to the Turkic vulture shooters who may appear at any time. Once encountered, you must not let them go no matter what. If you cannot capture them alive, you will shoot them with all your strength.”
“Get the order!”
Wan Mingliang watched as Yun Chong and a group of generals prepared an action plan, waving the flag in his hand gently.
“Command the three armies to attack!”
“Get the order!”
As the messengers conveyed Wan Mingliang's military orders, the soldiers of the Northern Expedition minimized the movement and made a surprise attack towards the Turik tribe.
If nothing else happens, Wan Mingliang and the others will replicate Yunyang's victory over the Muli tribe.
Perhaps God helped the Northern Expedition to succeed in their surprise attack.
Wan Mingliang and the others really easily captured the Turik tribe, which had a similar population to the Muli tribe.
King Tuli was no less surprised than King Muli at the sudden attack of the dragon soldiers and horses.
The Zhahe tribe had obviously gone to the border town of the Jin Kingdom where the Dalong soldiers and horses were stationed to investigate their whereabouts. Why did the enemy army enter the Turkic territory without any warning?
How could such a large-scale force be concealed from the Condor Shooters of the Zhahe Department who went to investigate the enemy's situation?
Unfortunately, no one can tell yet why they ended up like this.
After confirming several times that the raid was not leaked, Wan Mingliang and his army continued westward, heading straight for the Sangyang tribe.
On the banks of the Turkic Moro River, a large dragon cavalry of over 200,000 people was rushing close to the Moro River, making a very long detour.
This way is the 260,000 cavalry of the Six Guards of the New Army led by Cheng Kai and the others.
Compared with the missions carried out by the other two groups of infantry and cavalry comrades, the destination Cheng Kai and the others rushed to was much longer.
The Dalim Grassland behind the Turkic Royal Court.
Their purpose was to enter the Dalim Grassland in a roundabout way and then immediately move towards the Turkic Royal Court to encircle them.
The reason is to avoid leaking the raid plan, arouse the vigilance of the Turks, and prevent the Turkic royal court from moving northward and retreating.
As long as Cheng Kai and the others succeed in their roundabout attack, even if the surprise attack by Yunyang and Wan Mingliang is exposed, they can completely outflank the Turks with their troops.
Completely encircled the main force of the Turkic Royal Court in the encirclement set up step by step by the Northern Expedition Army.
As long as the main troops of the Turkic Royal Court are annihilated, the remaining Turkic tribes will be like the remaining enemies of the Jin Kingdom and will hardly pose a big obstacle to the unification of the world.
The 200,000 cavalrymen who had been attacking for two days now stopped on the north side of the Moro River, which was still flowing slowly and steaming with steam, and began to rest.
People can eat it, but war horses can't.
The war horses that used to gallop like the wind were blocked by the thick snow from galloping around.
The distance traveled in two days did not even reach the distance that usually takes most of a day.
“Brother, you are the boss, so you should go ahead and say it!”
“Brother, second brother is right, Uncle Cheng and others are still very polite to you.”
“You two, why don’t you two say it? Especially you, the second child. You are the Crown Prince, and your status is more noble than mine and the third child. You must have more confidence than me.”
Cheng Kai and the other six, like the soldiers, put the dry biscuits wrapped in dried meat into their mouths and swallowed them in big mouthfuls. From time to time, they picked up the wine bag and took a sip.
This is the privilege granted by Yunyang. Now the soldiers all carry some wine with them in case of emergency.
And keeping out the cold is an emergency necessity.
Cheng Kai and the others were devouring their food. They saw that the three brothers were not eating, and they were talking around each other without knowing what they were talking about. They walked over on the crunching snow.
“Chengfeng, Chengzhi, Chengqian, the weather is so cold, why don’t you three quickly eat the dry food to replenish your strength, what are you talking about?”
“Uncle!”
“Uncle!”
“Uncle!”
“Well, don’t be nervous, why don’t you start replenishing your physical strength?”
"Uncle, my second brother has something to say to you."
“Hmm? Chengzhi, what do you say first?”
Liu Chengzhi glared at the boss with his mouth twitching, and looked at the curious Cheng Kai angrily.
“Uncle, we are discussing how to save the life of sister Yue’er while chasing down the remaining enemies of the Jin Kingdom after conquering the Turks. When we went on the expedition, my father said that we must save the lives of sister Yue’er and Aunt Wanyan at all costs.
If the reason doesn't make sense, then use the sword in your hand to tell them."
With just one word, Liu Chengzhi dragged Liu Chengfeng and Liu Chengqian to the chariot.
Cheng Kai and the others were stunned for a moment, put down the dry food that was brought to their mouths, looked at each other silently, looked around at the resting soldiers with faint eyes, and pulled the three brothers towards the distance.
"You brat, keep this matter in your stomach and don't mention it again. Some things won't be finalized until the end, so don't publicize them. Do you understand?"
The three brothers looked at the sharp eyes of the six uncles and nodded subconsciously.
“I got it!”
“As long as you know, fill your stomach quickly and get some water.”
“Yeah, yeah, let’s go there first.”
After the three brothers left, Cheng Kai, Zhou Baoyu, Ye Baotong, Ning Chao, Feng Buer and Chu Jing had no intention of continuing to eat.
"Well, if His Majesty wants to eradicate the Jintu remnants in order to prevent the restoration of the Jintu remnants, there will be a battle between the king and the imperial power! Although Your Majesty may give the prince a face and deal with his wife and niece Luoyue leniently, we still have to do it Prepare for the worst, do you have anything to say?"
“What to say, which step to take.”
“I, Old Zhou, have nothing to say, listen to me, Commander!”
“I also listen to the commander-in-chief!”
“Nothing to say, just listen to the commander!”
“Worst plan, the commander-in-chief is the main one!”
Cheng Kai nodded silently and stretched out his palm.
“We live and die together!”
The five people put their palms on Cheng Kai's palm one after another and grinned.
“We live and die together.”
After two cups of tea, the three brothers finally replenished their physical strength.
Cheng Kai and others gave the order, and more than 200,000 cavalry continued to rush towards the Dalim Grassland.
