At the beginning, I became a county magistrate with greed of 500 million. The empress asked me to be

Li Taisui not only needed to defend the Menghan City, but also needed to keep the 120,000 barbarian troops tightly entangled in the Menghan area and not let these 120,000 barbarians run away to other places.

In this case, Li Taisui would need to lead his troops to fight day and night, not giving the barbarian troops any chance to breathe.

"General, we currently have 40,000 soldiers and horses left, the enemy has 120,000, and the barbarian army has 80,000 left."

"But in the past few days, the remaining 80,000 barbarian troops have been trying to retreat like crazy. If the Marshal had arrived a few days later, these barbarians would have probably escaped."

In front of Xia Yun, Li Taisui openly stated the situation of both sides.

"Don't worry, you've done great."

Xia Yun patted Li Taisui's shoulder emphatically to express his affirmation of him.

Then, Xia Yun's gaze swept over the generals behind him.

"Pass on my order. From now on, the entire army will attack! All barbarian troops in the Menghan City area must be wiped out in the shortest possible time!"

This time, Xia Yun's order was extremely simple.

There is nothing empty, only the simplest and most primitive orders to conquer!

"I will obey your orders!"

The generals could no longer suppress their desire to fight, and as soon as Xia Yun gave the order, they all responded immediately.

A short while passed.

Xia Yun entered the Menghan City with only Qin Tianye, Li Taisui, and a group of personal guards.

And all the other generals under his command, led their respective troops and started a massive annihilation war!

When the time came to noon.

The battle outside the Menghan City became almost one-sided. Under the siege of hundreds of thousands of troops, the remaining 80,000 barbarian troops had no ability to fight back at all.

In fact, not only were they unable to fight back effectively, they were unable to even do the simplest thing of running away.

This was because the generals under Xia Yun had completely blocked all the escape routes of the barbarian troops.

"General, Chong Heihu just sent a battle report. The barbarian troops fleeing westward from Shuoxi City have been completely annihilated by him and Xu Tianlei's troops. No one is left alive!"

"In addition, General Xiang Wentian has already led his troops to catch up with the barbarian troops fleeing northward. He is currently encircling and annihilating the barbarian troops with the 50,000 cavalry led by Zhao Xinlei. It is expected that the barbarian troops can be completely wiped out within two days."

In Menghan City, inside the central army tent, Qin Tianye was reporting to Xia Yun on the situation on other battlefields in the Hexi Corridor.

After the battle of Shuoxi City ended that day, the remaining barbarian troops split into three groups and fled in the east, west and north respectively.

During the three days and three nights that Xia Yun led the army to the Menghan City, the army had already wiped out the remaining barbarian troops fleeing eastward.

This also means.

Now, on the battlefield of the entire Hexi Corridor, the only ones left are the barbarian troops fleeing northward and the barbarian troops currently in the area of ​​Menghan City.

In less than two days, the war in the Hexi Corridor will be completely over.

"Is there any news from the Northeast?"

At this time, Xia Yun asked the question that was most concerning in his mind.

"The day before yesterday, Zhao Wuji sent a message that Zhao Gongming's troops stationed in Changchun, Northeast China, are currently engaged in a fierce battle with 200,000 barbarian troops in the Changchun area."

"According to intelligence, after the barbarian troops suffered a defeat in the Hexi Corridor, they are very likely to continue to increase their forces in the northeast."

Qin Tianye responded immediately. All the information about this war was clearly remembered in his mind.

"Immediately send an 800-mile express letter to the Ministry of War, asking it to mobilize all follow-up troops to reinforce Changchun City immediately."

"At the same time, write a memorial on the results of the battle in the Hexi Corridor and tell the Ministry of War that I will lead the army to Changchun soon!"

Xia Yun nodded, his eyes filled with an extremely deep look.

For him, it is far from time to rest.

When the barbarian troops on the battlefield of the Hexi Corridor are completely wiped out, he will lead his troops directly north.

Over the past month, Zhao Gongming led 200,000 troops to defend Changchun. Although he ensured the safety of the capital, he was unable to take care of other parts of the Northeast.

"Yes, handsome!"

After receiving the order, Qin Tianye immediately started writing on the desk and drafted what Xia Yun said into a memorial!

……

Time flies on the battlefield, and two days have passed in the blink of an eye.

This day's evening.

Xia Yun received the battle report sent back from Xiang Wentian in the Mobei Mountain area.

All the barbarian troops fleeing northward have been completely annihilated by the troops led by Xiang Wentian and Zhao Xinlei, and the 70,000-strong army is on its way back.

Similarly, the troops led by Chong Heihu and Xu Tianlei have also set out from the western border and are rushing to Shuodong City.

As for the Mongolian Khan battlefield, the 80,000 remaining barbarian troops were completely wiped out quite smoothly after being attacked day and night by hundreds of thousands of troops!

At this point, the war in the entire Hexi Corridor came to an end!

When the sunset glowed across the sky, Qin Tianye found Xia Yun on the city wall.

"Marshal, Lady Wan'er just sent a message."

Just this simple sentence immediately attracted Xia Yun to look back.

"what news?"

Xia Yun raised his eyebrows, and a flickering light flashed in his eyes.

Previously, he had assigned the task of road construction to Xu Wan'er. So far, this is the first time that the other party has sent him news.

"Don't worry, Marshal. Lady Wan'er is safe. At present, the construction team led by Lady Wan'er has built a road into the Mobei area. I request you to send more troops to protect the safety of the construction team."

Qin Tianye quickly told the whole story.

Xia Yun heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this.

"Send a message to Chen Jingzhong, order him to lead 40,000 troops to the north immediately to reinforce Wan'er."

Immediately afterwards, Xia Yun gave the order without thinking.

The construction team led by Xu Wan'er built roads much faster than he expected.

It had only been about half a month, but the construction team had already built the road into the Mobei region.

It can be imagined that his strategic idea of ​​penetrating deep into the northern desert is completely feasible!

"Yes, handsome!"

Qin Tianye nodded first, but then he raised a new question.

"Currently, Chong Heihu, Zhao Xinlei and other generals are on their way to Shuodong City. Should the main force of our army also set off?"

Qin Tianye asked.

"The army will rest in Menghan City for one night. At 10:00 tomorrow morning, all soldiers will set out immediately and return to Shuodong!"

The war in the Hexi Corridor has come to an end, so there is naturally no need for the army to stay in Mongolia.

What they have to do now is to return to Shuodong City as soon as possible, wait until all the troops are gathered, and then march directly north!
