Chapter 1090: Conclusion
Khan Court.
When the Central Army soldiers crossed the fortifications the Northern Di had painstakingly built without the slightest effort, Wulanba was completely stunned.
He had thought of dozens, even hundreds of war outcomes, but he had never imagined this current result.
What made him want to cry but have no tears was that he was not defeated by the Dasong army, but had lost to himself.
If not for his stupidity, he would not have given the Dasong army this opportunity.
But now, everything was too late.
The Northern Di soldiers had not yet recovered from the anger of him expelling the herdsmen, and they had no heart to fight at all.
As the Dasong army charged across the trenches and came to kill them, their instinctive reaction was to take their loved ones and flee.
No matter how the generals called out, they never looked back again.
The fall of the trench fortifications, coupled with the fact that their loved ones had been expelled, caused them to lose all confidence.
They did not want to carry out the orders of the Ross state anymore, nor did they want to care about the fate of the Northern Di; they only wanted to live on with their families.
"Ivan, it's over, I am completely finished." Looking at the chaotic Khan Court before him, Wulanba's face was pale and his voice trembled.
The result of this war was already destined.
He had failed the expectations of Nikolai the Great, and he had also offended the Northern Di people.
Nikolai the Great would be disappointed in him, and the Northern Di people would also be disappointed in him.
From now on, he, the leader of the Northern Di, would have his prestige swept into the dust.
The interior of the Northern Di would also fall into turmoil, with no leader to guide them, each fighting their own battles.
A more likely result was that they would be wiped out one by one by the Dasong people.
"..." Ivan did not answer Wulanba.
He was ashamed and annoyed at this moment; just as Wulanba said, they had ultimately failed the expectations of Nikolai the Great.
The Dasong army had taken the Khan Court with almost no effort.
"Da-da-da..." Just as he was thinking, a crisp sound of gunfire suddenly attracted his attention.
A Dasong army composed of two hundred men had approached to a position three hundred meters away from him.
This army was organized with a clear division of labor; the two hundred men were divided into three echelons, arranged in a triangle.
The soldiers at the very front kept pushing forward, while the soldiers behind covered those who were advancing.
Among the three echelons, the team of soldiers on the left possessed the special firearms of Dasong.
It was exactly they who were making the "da-da-da" sound.
And as this team of soldiers appeared in his field of vision, more and more Dasong soldiers were coming from the south.
"Even if we have to plead guilty to Nikolai the Great, we must survive to return." With things having reached this point, everything was beyond redemption; Ivan now only wanted to save his own life, so he continued, "Let's flee to the north first."
Having said that, he ignored Wulanba, got on a horse himself, and fled in a panic under the protection of his guards.
Wulanba was still wallowing in self-pity; seeing Ivan's figure getting further and further away, and seeing the Dasong army getting closer and closer, he felt a wave of fear in his heart.
He got on his horse and went to chase Ivan.
At this moment, he finally realized that his own charisma was not at all comparable to his father and older brother.
Following the flight of Ivan and Wulanba, the Khan Court fell into even greater chaos.
Some Northern Di soldiers even came to blows over fighting for food and property.
But more Northern Di people swarmed toward the valley in the North.
However, there were not many Northern Di people who had horses to begin with, and even if some Northern Di soldiers had horses, they only had one, which still had to carry their relatives and luggage.
These things dragged down their speed.
Meanwhile.
After the Dasong Gun Cavalry crossed the trenches, they struck the fleeing Northern Di army like a bolt of lightning.
They were fresh and rested, had sufficient provisions, and possessed excellent warhorses; they were currently full of energy.
Numerous cavalrymen held their horse rifles and charged through the crowd, as if entering an empty land.
At the same time, they kept shouting, "Surrender and you will not be killed," and shot down any Northern Di soldiers who refused to surrender at any time.
Seeing that they could not escape, and also disappointed in Wulanba, the Northern Di people threw down the weapons in their hands one after another and chose to surrender.
To them, fleeing to the Extreme North was death, while being captured by the Dasong people might still offer a glimmer of survival.
Even ants cling to life, let alone them.
At this time, they no longer thought about the hatred between the Northern Di and Dasong; they only wanted to survive.
Therefore, wherever the Gun Cavalry went, apart from the Northern Di who resisted and were killed, the other Northern Di people knelt down in droves.
"Advance with full force!" The Northern Di surrendering so readily made Chen Hu realize that the spirit of the Northern Di was truly gone.
He immediately issued the order to charge straight into the valley, preparing to take down all the Northern Di in the Khan Court.
On the road, there were also sporadic Northern Di cavalrymen who wanted to stop them, but they were immediately shot off their horses by their horse rifles.
How could a mob of people block their elite Gun Cavalry?
"Bang, bang, bang..." The Gun Cavalry charged and killed in the front.
The Central Army infantry followed behind to receive the prisoners.
Across the entire battlefield, the Dasong army was crushing everything like dry weeds and rotten wood.
One hour later, the Gun Cavalry carved a path through the fleeing Northern Di people, cutting off the Northern Di's escape route.
Seeing that there was no way out in front and pursuers behind, the Northern Di trapped in the Khan Court completely resigned themselves to their fate.
They no longer resisted, but silently raised their hands.
Wulanba had treated them like livestock, wanting to drive them out to starve to death.
By comparison, surrendering did not seem like such a big deal anymore.
At this moment, their spirit was completely gone.
Furthermore, the Khan Court was the holy land in the hearts of the Northern Di, and even the holy land had been captured by the Song People, which was a massive drain on their morale.
For so many years, the psychological advantage they had built up over the Song People lay entirely in the fact that they were stronger than the Song.
Now, everything had reversed.
In front of the Song People, they had instead become ants.
With such thoughts, wherever the Dasong Gun Cavalry passed, the Northern Di herdsmen decided to surrender, and even the Northern Di soldiers no longer resisted.
Their hope was gone!
"Great General, it seems the Northern Di have been beaten into submission by us." Seeing the scene of the Northern Di surrendering one after another, Bai Shang felt a sense of relief.
Lv Chang, Huo An, and the other generals also wore smiles on their faces.
This shadow that had loomed over the North Territory of the Song for more than three hundred years had finally dissipated completely in their hands.
After all, the Khan Court had gathered the last of the Northern Di's strength this time, especially their final able-bodied forces.
Since these able-bodied forces had also chosen to surrender, the Northern Di no longer had the strength to resist the Song.
"That's right, they are subdued. We have won this war, and the history of the Northern Di threatening the northern border of the Song has ended!" Chang Wei's eyes were slightly red, and his voice trembled slightly.
Those who had never experienced the possibility of the Song being destroyed by the Northern Di at any time could not feel his emotions.
How many soldiers had once been wrapped in horse hides to be buried after resisting the Northern Di.
Among these soldiers were his former superiors, his closest comrades-in-arms, and his beloved subordinates.
Their life's ambition was to expel the Northern Di and protect the borders and the land.
But they would never be able to open their eyes to see today's grand occasion.
"Brothers who have died, your wishes have been fulfilled," Chang Wei murmured.
At this moment, a breeze suddenly blew, and the pasture grass rustled, as if it were the cheers of countless departed souls.
