Chapter 1089: 1,890: A Total Collapse

~8 min read 1,402 words

"Whoever dares to touch my mother, I will fight them to the death."

Just as Kelin thought, Wulanba's order to expel the Northern Di herdsmen caused no small amount of chaos.

Admittedly, these old and weak herdsmen were of no use to Wulanba and only consumed his own grain and grass.

However, these Northern Di soldiers were the sons and grandsons of these herdsmen.

Seeing their own kin driven out of the Khan Court to go to the North and fend for themselves, many Northern Di soldiers were immediately enraged.

They pulled their kin out of the ranks one after another, preventing the Northern Di soldiers responsible for the expulsion from driving them away.

And the Northern Di soldiers responsible for the expulsion did not dare to disobey orders, so they clashed with these Northern Di soldiers.

But this was only the beginning; as the news spread throughout the Khan Court, more and more soldiers became restless.

They came from various royal tents, and no one wanted their kin to be driven out of the Khan Court to die.

Even the soldiers in the trenches had their focus scattered.

The chaotic situation inside the Khan Court immediately reached Wulanba's ears.

This caused beads of sweat to emerge slightly on Wulanba's forehead.

Looking toward Ivan, he hesitated, "Ivan, if things go on like this, I fear it will lead to disaster."

Ivan was also somewhat nervous; this method was precisely what he had discussed with Wulanba.

They needed to delay the time it took for the Song People's army to occupy the Khan Court as much as possible, so they could not let the herdsmen consume the food, otherwise, they would not be able to hold out for many days.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "This matter is truly a dilemma, but in order to prevent a riot right now, we must think of a way that satisfies both sides..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly heard the rumbling of cannons, mixed with the bugle calls of the Song People's army charging.

Wulanba and Ivan's expressions changed at the same time.

The Song People's army had attacked.

"It's over!" a voice exploded violently in Wulanba's heart.

He suddenly understood,

The Song People's army had waited for so long just to wait for this moment of his mistake.

In the past, no one from top to bottom in the Song People dared to defy the Khan's orders.

But since he submitted to the Northern Di, he had shed the sacred title of Khan and changed it to General.

Coupled with the dissatisfaction and disappointment regarding him and his son during the Battle of Yongzhou.

The Northern Di people no longer trusted him as much; this was the reason why so many Northern Di soldiers disobeyed orders.

But the Song People would not give him a chance to go back on his word.

They seized this fleeting opportunity on the battlefield and launched an attack at the most chaotic moment.

Just as Wulanba thought.

From letting the Northern Di herdsmen enter the Khan Court to the siege until now, Chang Wei had been waiting for an opportunity.

An opportunity for the Northern Di people to make a mistake.

The Northern Di people were not good at farming, the stored grain was bound to be limited, and they had also plundered their cattle and sheep.

With more mouths to feed and no increase in grain, they were bound to have problems.

Sure enough, after waiting for a month, he finally waited for this opportunity.

Of course, he could actually have launched a direct assault.

But he felt it was unnecessary; most importantly, he wanted to use the grain issue to make Wulanba make a cruel decision, so as to divide the Northern Di people.

Now, his goal had been achieved.

However, he was very clear that faced with the sudden chaos, the Northern Di might temporarily compromise.

This would be bad for the Song People's army, so he immediately decided to launch an attack, not giving Wulanba a chance to restore order.

After a short artillery bombardment, the charge bugle sounded, and the Central Army soldiers launched a charge under the cover of machine guns.

During this time, the production line of the Armament Bureau had not stopped, so more and more machine guns were delivered.

This time, the three armies of their Central Army carried more than just the twenty-plus machine guns from the time of the Battle of Yongzhou.

In fact, one battalion of five hundred men was equipped with six machine guns.

The machine guns of one army could reach two hundred and forty.

This quantity made other armies envious, jealous, and hateful.

But the other armies had no choice; after all, just as the generals joked, the Central Army was the Emperor's own son, and everything was the best.

Due to the equipping of numerous machine guns, the Machine Gun Teams were no longer under unified command, but the command authority was placed within the battalions.

The Battalion Commander would arrange the positions of the machine gunners within their own battalion on the battlefield according to combat needs.

"Da-da-da..."

After the charge bugle sounded, the dense sound of machine gun fire rang out.

Bullets flew toward the Northern Di trenches like a violent storm.

Under the fierce firepower of the Central Army, the Northern Di soldiers could not lift their heads at all.

The Central Army soldiers took the opportunity to climb out of the trenches and rushed toward the Northern Di trenches.

Before jumping into the trenches, they first threw a Hand Grenade inside to clear the enemy, then leaped down immediately.

At this time, the Northern Di people's minds were in chaos, and their morale was significantly weakened.

Being fiercely strafed by machine guns, they had no courage left to resist.

Blasted by Hand Grenades, with heavy casualties, the soldiers in the front trenches immediately turned tail and ran, ignoring everything else.

Seeing this, the Song People's soldiers chased fiercely behind their backs.

The Machine Gun Teams also continuously adjusted their angles, firing repeatedly.

Under the full-scale attack of the Song People's army, the Northern Di people did not even hold out for half an hour before the entire trench defense line collapsed.

One by one, the Beidi soldiers crawled out of the Trench and headed north.

"Hahaha..." As this scene fell into the eyes of Chang Wei, Bai Shang, and the others, the generals let out knowing laughs.

Although their wait this time had been a little longer.

They believed it was all worth it.

At this rate, they would be able to take the entire Beidi Khan Court without losing many soldiers at all.

"Chen Hu, is the Gun Cavalry ready?" Chang Wei asked at this moment.

"Ready," Chen Hu shouted.

Chang Wei nodded, "The task of pursuing the enemy is entrusted to you; after this battle, the Grassland will truly belong to your Western Regions Protectorate."

This Khan Court concentrated the final strength of the Beidi; as long as this last force was wiped out, the Beidi would withdraw from the stage of history.

"Yes, Great General." Chen Hu's eyes lit up.

His gaze was no longer limited to the Grassland, but was extending toward the more distant Zhongtu region.

Once the Beidi were settled, he would head west to fight the Tusman Empire.

They would absolutely not allow the Tusman Empire to continue expanding eastward.

It was time to teach them a lesson and make them recognize reality.

"Bang, bang, bang..." As he pondered, the sound of gunfire moved further and further away from the camp.

At this moment, the Central Army soldiers charged into the Khan Court.

Right now, many Beidi soldiers were running, and the Central Army soldiers were in pursuit.

It seemed that because the Trench had fallen, the Beidi had completely lost hope, and many began to flee directly toward the valley in the North Territory.

At this time, Chen Hu and Chang Wei exchanged a glance, and then he gave Xue Jian and Zhong Fang a look.

The two nodded and led their subordinate Gun Cavalry to begin the operation.

They would coordinate with the Infantry to round up all the Beidi in the Khan Court.

"Rumble, rumble, rumble..."

The sound of horse hooves rang out, kicking up dust that filled the sky; the Gun Cavalry charged!
