The Western Barbarians' cavalry suffered great losses in more than twenty days of fighting.
The Jin army was different. Even if the cavalry suffered casualties, Zhao Yanxun had a system and the soldiers who died in battle could be replaced immediately.
Among the 100,000 guard troops, if you choose those who can ride horses to upgrade, you can quickly form combat effectiveness.
It can be seen that the Jin army suffered almost no loss in strength, which made the senior Western Barbarians feel desperate.
At present, they have only one hundred thousand cavalry, which is almost the possibility of their final comeback.
As for the infantry, they didn't expect much at all.
Even if the infantry captures the city, there are still countless cities waiting for them. So what if Tianshan County is captured? There are still more counties waiting behind.
This would take too much time, and the Western Barbarians simply couldn't afford it.
If not for the huge loss of troops in this attack, which greatly reduced the logistical pressure, they might have collapsed.
But even so, the existing food was only enough to last for about ten days, forcing them to fight decisively.
At this time, the Jin army tried to avoid the battle as much as possible, intending to drag the Western Barbarian cavalry to death.
However, there is always a time to avoid war. After all, Beidi County is right behind.
If we really let these people set foot in Beidi County, we will be in big trouble.
The current situation is that not only the Western Barbarian cavalry is heading south, but a large number of their infantry are also heading south with food and grass.
In other words, if the Jin army keeps avoiding the battle, they will be allowed to enter the north without losing any blood.
Finally, Zhao Yanxun issued an order to block the Western Barbarian cavalry, indicating that the decisive battle was about to begin.
February 25th, the cold wind was biting.
On the land to the north of Tianshan County, the cavalry of both sides have been arrayed, and a battle may break out at any time.
Hundreds of thousands of cavalrymen spanned nearly twenty miles, with only ten miles between them.
At a distance of ten miles, the cavalry charge could meet each other within ten minutes. This is already a very dangerous distance.
As before, before the decisive battle begins, the cavalry on both sides will conduct tentative attacks.
The scale of the war also gradually increased during the trial process.
In the city of Guangning Prefecture in Beidi County, Zhao Yanxun is paying close attention to the situation on the front line.
Although he wanted to stay in Tianshan County, he returned to Beidi County due to the insistence of civil and military officials and courtiers.
He is the emperor, and his safety is related to the safety of the entire world, affecting the nerves of all forces in the country.
As long as something goes wrong, it may cause turmoil, which makes Zhao Yanxun unable to be cautious.
"Your Majesty, our left wing is launching an attack!"
On the top of the city, scouts rushed over to report the situation to Zhao Yanxun.
With the current level of information transmission, it is unrealistic to grasp the battle situation in real time, so Zhao Yanxun can only wait for the results.
Taking all the circumstances into account, Zhao Yanxun is 70% certain to win.
But before the results came out, he still felt uneasy.
Of course, he didn't show this uneasiness, and even deliberately sat on the chair with his legs crossed, showing a calm look.
Everything that should be arranged has been arranged, and all he can do now is wait.
And this time, three days have passed.
After three days of continuous fighting, both sides' cavalry suffered losses, but it was no surprise that the Western Barbarians suffered greater losses.
At this point, the senior leaders of the Western Barbarians have recognized the reality, but again, they have no way out.
King Muliqing and King Jinanta appeared in the military formation, and they will participate in the final charge.
In a word, if you don't succeed, you will succeed.
"King Yikuoxi went to fight the Huns!" King Muliqing said.
King Jinanta said: "It seems...he has given up hope on us!"
There is no doubt that King Yikuosi led his people to fight against the Xiongnu, which was a betrayal of the entire Western Barbarian strategy.
But at this moment, these two people are not angry about this.
Just because they also felt that King Yikuosi's full support was useless. Maybe it was more feasible to fight the Xiongnu and create a way out for the tribe.
However, even if the Huns are defeated, the so-called survival path can only support no more than 700,000 to 800,000 people.
In other words, nonsense, among the millions of their tribe, only a few can survive.
Even at that time, the Western Barbarians will have internal chaos and even attack each other.
But King Mu Liqing could no longer see that scene.
"After fighting this battle, we can finally rest!" King Mu Liqing said with emotion.
King Jinanta didn't say much, but he also accepted the ending.
The two were silent for a while, only to hear King Mu Liqing ask: "Guess, what is my greatest wish?"
"Win this battle!" King Jinanta replied.
King Mu Liqing smiled and then shook his head.
But he didn't keep King Jinanta waiting for long, and then he looked up at the sky and said: "I just want to... see the sun again!"
King Jinan Pagoda was stunned for a moment by these words. Only then did he recall that he had not seen the blue sky and the sun for three years.
Ever since meteorites fell and caused volcanic eruptions, the smoke emitted has blocked the sun.
Then the temperature dropped and the sky was always gray. It only got better in the east.
He heard from Tan Ma that if you enter Beidi County or go further east, you can see the sun and blue sky.
By this time, the two of them really had nothing to say.
Soon half an hour passed and Mu Liqing separated. They would each command a part of the army.
Through the constant reporting of news by Tan Ma, the Imperial Army on the opposite side of the Western Barbarians also knew that the real decisive battle was coming.
"Brothers, the enemy is at the end of its warpath and has reached the end of its rope..."
"Our army...will win!" Xu Hong raised his saber and shouted to his soldiers.
"Must win..."
"Must win..."
The soldiers followed and shouted. At this moment, they shared the same hatred with the enemy, and there was no fear on their faces.
Xu Hong is boosting morale, and it can be seen that the effect is very good at this moment.
Although the opponent has many troops, our own side is not a vegetarian, and the chances of winning by overwhelming the opponent are very high.
As time passed, the armies of both sides gradually approached, and after reaching the critical point, each launched a charge.
This is an upright battle, without fancy tactics, relying on true strength.
"Rush..."
"kill……"
Along with the shouting, there were still explosions, and the Jin soldiers were using "grenades" as much as possible.
Thanks to the increased production of this product, otherwise the supply would not be guaranteed after two consecutive months of consumption.
"Soldiers, if we want to live, we can only win!"
"Crush them!"
"kill……"
The fighting spirit of the Jin army was high, and the Western Barbarian cavalry who had been put to death also showed great fighting power.
In order to survive, it is this simplest belief that supports them to continue fighting until death.
Such emotions can be seen from all directions on the battlefield, putting both warring parties under tremendous pressure.
The fighting entered a stalemate stage, and the entire battlefield became a meat grinder, devouring the lives of the fighting soldiers.
"Brothers, if we win this battle, the world will be at peace and good days will come..."
"Our army will win!"
After a bitter battle, the soldiers' strength was greatly reduced, but they had no intention of retreating.
"Kill..." King Mu Liqing roared.
The 10,000 cavalrymen directly under his command rushed towards Xu Hong's troops.
At the other end, Xu Hong shouted: "Long live your Majesty the Emperor!"
This slogan has unparalleled appeal and ignited the soldiers' stronger fighting spirit.
They were loyal to the emperor and had no fear even if they died on the battlefield.
"Long live your Majesty the Emperor!"
Holding their sabers tightly, the Jin soldiers shouted and urged their horses to start charging.
The battle began again, with the cavalry charging as fast as lightning, and soon the two armies were intertwined again.
