Chapter 1086: Fierce

The Khan Court.

As the Central Army made final preparations for war, the atmosphere here was heavy to the extreme.

When Wulanba ordered all ten Royal Tents to assemble at the Khan Court, only 60,000 cavalry and 80,000 infantry arrived successfully in the end.

Among them, the Silver Moon Royal Tent, the Black Iron Royal Tent, and the Red Flame Royal Tent were the most miserable, with only one or two thousand people arriving from each.

The herdsmen under their command had all been captured by the Dasong Gun Cavalry.

Although the remaining seven Royal Tents did not suffer the sudden attacks from the Dasong Gun Cavalry like those three Royal Tents.

But in order to rush to the Khan Court as quickly as possible, they had no choice but to abandon the herdsmen of their Royal Tents and head to the Khan Court alone.

After all, the movement of the herdsmen was too slow; if they traveled with the herdsmen, it would only delay time and make them easier to be discovered by the Dasong Gun Cavalry.

It was precisely because they adopted such a resolute method that the forces of the other Royal Tents were barely able to reach the Khan Court before the Gun Cavalry completed their encirclement of the Khan Court.

It was just that, in this way, the fate of the Royal Tent herdsmen lay with themselves.

When the kings of each Royal Tent headed to the Khan Court, they all pointed out a direction for the herdsmen of their Royal Tents to move forward.

The Royal Tents in the west headed northwest; that direction was the Ross country.

The Royal Tents in the east headed toward the Extreme North, and then migrated from the Extreme North to the Ross country.

But even though their plan was perfect.

Yet no one could guarantee whether the Dasong Gun Cavalry would discover these migrating herdsmen.

Wulanba naturally understood this point, but he had no other choice.

He had to follow orders and hold Ubatu, the fortress leading to the Extreme North.

Because the location of Ubatu could be said to be very important to the Ross country.

The Extreme North was very vast from west to east, and Ubatu was located exactly at the midpoint of the belly of the Extreme North.

The area within a radius of 500 li with Ubatu as the center was the northernmost pasture of the Northern Di.

Beyond this range, it was no longer suitable for grazing further north.

Therefore,

As long as the Dasong army occupied this place, they could rely on the cattle and sheep on the pastures to provide supplies for the army moving north.

"Consul Ivan, this time for the sake of the Ross country, I have staked all the strength of the Northern Di. Regardless of victory or defeat, please, Consul Ivan, you must bear witness before Great Emperor Nikolai that I, Wulanba, have not failed the Great Emperor's expectations."

Located on Kunan Mountain to the west of the Khan Court, Wulanba and Ivan were standing on the mountain peak, looking at the Dasong army digging fortifications.

When the Dasong Gun Cavalry chose to surround without attacking, they had anticipated that Dasong infantry would come.

It was just that what they did not expect was that the Dasong army would arrive so quickly.

Clearly, this was the effect brought about by Dasong continuously extending the Railway to the north.

There was another point, which was naturally because the Northern Di cavalry had lost control of the Grassland.

The Dasong army marched on the Grassland without any obstruction.

"It certainly will be, please believe that the Great Emperor has also always appreciated you, just as I do. After this battle is over and we return to the Ross country, I will propose your marriage to the Great Emperor." Ivan continued to encourage Wulanba.

This was naturally to ensure Wulanba had enough confidence to fight this battle, and at the same time, he truly approved of Wulanba.

If it hadn't been for Wulanba back then, he feared he would have already died in the Northern Di, and it would have been impossible for him to act as the link between the Northern Di and the Ross country, allowing him to obtain a certain status in the Ross country.

Precisely because of this, he, like Wulanba, hoped that this battle could be won, or that they could hold a long-term standoff with Dasong here to win time for the Ross country.

In this way, their goal would be achieved.

"Thank you, Ivan, I will certainly not treat you poorly." Upon hearing this, Wulanba's expression was agitated.

He had always hoped that this marriage between the Ross country and the Northern Di could be realized as soon as possible.

On one hand, he could win the woman he loved, and on the other hand, he could make the relationship between the Northern Di and the Ross country more secure.

"This is what should be obtained." Ivan patted Wulanba on the shoulder.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

After observing the Dasong army's deployment for a while longer, the two descended Kunan Mountain and returned to the camp.

In front of the Dasong army, they had no way to take any shortcuts.

There were only two paths: fight to the death or retreat, and they would not choose the second path.

Seeing that in just a few days, the Dasong army's trenches would be face-to-face with their own trenches, Wulanba summoned the ten Royal Tent kings and important generals.

The Royal Tent itself had 50,000 cavalry and 60,000 infantry.

Together with the other Royal Tents, the forces they could currently mobilize were 110,000 cavalry and 140,000 infantry.

As for the herdsmen of the Khan Court, they had also been hollowed out, leaving only the old, weak, sick, and disabled.

Even so, they were also utilized and required to enter the trenches during wartime to transport ammunition, carry the wounded, and even serve as human shields.

In this battle, he had truly given everything.

"I know that ever since I pledged loyalty to the Ross country, some of you have been dissatisfied, believing that we Northern Di should not submit to the Ross country. Then now, you should understand why I chose this way; the Dasong people are not giving us Northern Di a way to live!" After the Royal Tent kings and generals had all arrived, Wulanba faced the crowd and shouted at the top of his lungs.

The group of Northern Di generals heard this and all fell silent.

Especially those generals who were dissatisfied with Wulanba submitting to the Ross country, they even lowered their heads.

They realized they were wrong.

After the Battle of Yongzhou, they stubbornly believed that the Grassland was still the world of the Northern Di people.

As long as they retreated back to the Grassland, they could recuperate, become strong again, and take revenge on Dasong.

But this time, the Dasong Gun Cavalry's advance into the Grassland completely slapped them in the face.

At this moment, they realized that Wulanba's choice was correct.

Between submitting to Dasong and submitting to the Ross country, they were naturally more willing to submit to the Ross country.

After all, the blood feud between the Northern Di and Dasong could not be resolved.

"Now, the Dasong army is right outside the Khan Court, and in just a few days, they may launch an attack." Wulanba noticed the expressions of the generals, felt satisfied in his heart, and continued to say loudly.

"The Great Song bullies us too much. Since they will not give us Northern Di a way to live, then we shall risk our lives and fight, letting them understand that the backbone of us Northern Di is still hard." A king of the royal tent had a flushed face and fiercely raised his fist.

"That's right, even if we die, we must drag someone down with us," another person shouted.

"..."

The generals spoke one after another, each filled with a chilling aura of slaughter.

Wulanba revealed a look of satisfaction, and he continued, "Besides being for us Northern Di ourselves, this campaign is also the order of Great Emperor Nicholas. Since we have already submitted to the Ross nation, we must obey the will of the Ross nation and serve the overall interests of the Ross nation. Only if the Ross nation wins can we Northern Di be victorious. Great Emperor Nicholas has promised us that as long as the Great Song is destroyed in the future, this Grassland will still be ours."

Upon hearing this, the generals exchanged glances and nodded one after another.

Wulanba's expression finally turned stern, and he said solemnly, "Therefore, in this battle, whoever behaves like a coward, I will certainly kill him. We have already lost too much; we cannot lose any more!"
