From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

Chapter 637

It was bone-chillingly cold in the grassland at night at the end of October. Fortunately, it didn't snow, otherwise the march would have been even more difficult.

"We must hold on! We can rest for a day after we get there!"

Liu Fang's face was solemn. The war had come to this point, which was the accumulation of hard work and a test of people's spirit. There could be no slackness.

Even a small mistake at a critical moment could make all the efforts go up in smoke.

"The three armies of the five camps must all gather before dawn. We cannot give Sabdan any chance to strike first. They are extremely tired and eager to repair and replenish, but we cannot rule out the possibility of striking first."

"We will be stationed in the northwest of Sayinshand. This position is extremely important. Once Sabdan really doesn't want Sayinshand, he will definitely march to Hulanhushiwen in the northwest, and we have to intercept him."

"I believe that the day after tomorrow at the latest, the commander will arrive in Sayinshand. That will be the time for the decisive battle and the end of our mission."

At this point, he looked at Wang Xiong and Shi Yi, grinned and said: "Fenglang Juxu, drinking water from the vast sea, we can do it. ”

Wang Xiong said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Governor, there will be no mistakes. We are just waiting for the order from the commander-in-chief."

Shi Yi said: "I have been holding back for more than a month, and finally I can fight to my heart's content. I must fight with that fat pig of Mongolia!"

Liu Fang couldn't help laughing and said: "I'm afraid that you, General Shi, can't even last ten rounds. That guy named Dabalagan invaded the Great Jin thirteen years ago and beat the warriors under General Xue Changyue's account without any resistance."

"This man is born with supernatural power and holds heavy weapons. We can't match him."

Wang Xiong narrowed his eyes and smiled coldly.

…

"Gather all the food in the cellars in the city, and fill every soldier's bag with water!"

"Kill the sheep and eat the meat! Replenish your strength!"

"Except for a few soldiers on duty, no more patrol camps will be arranged. Everyone will rest tonight."

"No training tasks will be arranged tomorrow. Just line up to keep alert and continue to rest."

Sabdan looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Warriors! The time for a decisive battle has come! Behind us is the settlement of the Mongolian people, the grassland and pasture, and our foundation."

"We can't retreat anymore! We must completely eliminate the enemy in this sacred Saynshand!"

"Replenish your spirit! Replenish your strength! The day after tomorrow, November 1st! Decisive battle!"

The generals present couldn't help but roar. They were too frustrated during this period. They wanted to have a hearty fight.

Dabalagan gritted his teeth and said, "I will eat a whole sheep tonight. I will adjust my condition to the best. The day after tomorrow, I will kill all those Han monkeys!"

Sabdan said, "Dabalagan, you have done a good job during this period! You strictly implemented military orders and kept your mind. Your bravery is admirable, and your wisdom is also admirable."

"The day after tomorrow, you will lead our 10,000 heavy cavalry to launch a devastating charge against Zhou Yuan. I want you to tear their camp apart completely and turn them all into cattle and sheep that fall behind and be slaughtered."

Dabalagan was so happy that he shouted, "I will obey the order of the Khan!"

The soldiers looked at each other and saw the rising fighting spirit in each other's eyes.

The next day, the Northwest Army was stationed thirty miles away from Sayinshanda.

After a day of rest, they lined up neatly in the early morning of November 1st.

A cow was pulled out by them and its head was chopped off in front of everyone.

Blood flowed, strong liquor was served, and everyone had a bowl.

A stone tablet stood on the ground, Zhou Yuan lit the incense and burned paper.

In the strong wind, flames swirled and paper scraps flew into the sky.

Zhou Yuan knelt down, kowtowed three times, and then looked at the soldiers behind him.

He looked at the resolute faces, gathered his inner strength, and said loudly: "This monument without words is the monument of the heroes of my Great Jin."

"We gather here today, in this foreign land, to solemnly pay tribute to the deceased heroes."

"Heroic soldiers stationed on the border for hundreds of years, your contributions will be immortal, your sacrifices have protected hundreds of millions of people, and your greatness will be remembered forever."

"We will use practical actions to show the courage of the Great Jin. We will fight bloody battles and fight to the death. We will comfort your souls in heaven with the blood of the enemy!"

"I hope the heroes and martyrs are watching! Witness! Witness our Great Jin warriors conquering the grassland!"

He raised his glass, looked at tens of thousands of soldiers, and shouted: "Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

Countless roars came from everywhere, and everyone drank strong liquor, and also ignited the flames of anger in their hearts.

"Revenge! Conquer the grassland!"

Zhou Yuan's voice spread throughout the world, and 60,000 Northwest Army followed him and headed towards Sayinshand.

At this moment, they had the courage and determination to move forward. They held knives, spears, and shields, and their eyes were filled with the will to fight to the death.

Sainshand! Right in front of us!

It was an ordinary city, but the 40,000 Mongolian cavalry were already ready.

On this vast grassland, the two sides finally met.

Sabdan looked at the majestic army in the distance and couldn't help but sighed: "What a powerful momentum, Zhou Yuan is indeed a stunning talent!"

Dabalagan was wearing heavy armor, and it can be said that he was armed to the teeth. He held an exaggerated mace and roared: "Fight! Let's fight! Khan!"

Before Sabdan had time to speak, he saw hundreds of cavalry galloping from another direction.

The leading man shouted: "Marshal Jie! Marshal Jie! We are here to welcome you! "

Liu Fang, Wang Xiong, Shi Yi and the other three led hundreds of the most elite soldiers of the Five Army Camps and galloped all the way to the Northwest Army. They dismounted and half-knelt, shouting in unison.

"Meet the commander!"

Zhou Yuan did not dismount, but said in a deep voice: "Get up! You did a good job!"

Liu Fang said: "Report to the commander, my brothers from the Five Army Camp have been stationed on the northwest side of Saynshand as planned, less than ten miles away, and Sabdan did not attack us."

Zhou Yuan hummed: "After all, the Mongolian army also needs to rest."

He looked forward and said in a deep voice: "Let's go! Follow me to meet this grassland hero!"

He rode forward, followed by Li Yu'an, and Wang Xiong and others hurriedly followed.

A group of hundreds of people, fierce and fearless.

"Get on the horse!"

Sabdan roared, rode on the horse's back, and said in a deep voice: "Dabalagan! Lead 500 heavy cavalry! Follow me!"

"He Zhou Yuan dares to step forward! I Sabdan also have the courage!"

So, the core figures of both sides began to gather in the middle.

Everyone knows that once this battle starts, it will be the end of the world.

Sabdan raised his proud head until the two sides were only more than ten feet apart, and then he slowly stopped.

He looked at the young figure in front of him who was not tall, and said loudly: "Weiguogong Zhou Yuan! It's better to meet than to hear about it! You are indeed the most outstanding general in Dajin! I Sabdan cherish talents. As long as you surrender, I promise to treat you with high positions and generous salaries!"

Zhou Yuan couldn't help laughing and said: "I am a descendant of Yanhuang, and the blood of Zulong flows in my body. How can I be a minister of your grassland barbarians? It's really ridiculous!"

Sabdan said: "It's a pity that your plan failed in the end. You wanted to kill me on the road, but we didn't go to the capital at all, but came directly to Saiyinshanda. ”

“Zhou Yuan, even if you lead an army of 120,000, you can’t stop the impact of 40,000 Mongolian cavalry!”

“In this battle, not only are you not sure of winning, you are not even sure of retreating!”

“Are you going to use the blood of your soldiers to paint your ambitions that are praised by the world!”

Zhou Yuan said loudly: “The Mongolian cavalry is not invincible. My Fifth Army Camp and the Northwest Army soldiers have never been afraid of powerful enemies. We dare to bleed, we dare to fight lions and tigers, and dare to fight to the death with any enemy.”

Sabdan said: “You have planned everything and planned for so long. Is the final result just to fight with your people? Haha! What kind of strategy is this!”

Zhou Yuan said: “Do you want to know what I planned!”

Sabdan laughed and said: “No matter what you planned, you will lose this battle! You will see the power of heavy cavalry! "

The hundreds of warriors behind him roared.

But Zhou Yuan said: "Very good! Then why don't you look to the west!"

The wind swept away the clouds, and the sun was as blazing as a rainbow.

The sound of horse hooves and the beating of drums.

The earth seemed to be shaking, and teams of cavalry finally appeared on the horizon, with flags flying. The terrible momentum seemed to come with the whistling cold wind. Forty thousand Khoshut cavalry came from the west of the desert.

This battle was destined to be earth-shattering!
