Chapter 403: Set off again, at the foot of Tianshan Mountain
Naturally, Shen Tang didn't know that his two virtuous wives had already contacted Wanyan Yue.
At this moment, he was sitting on the horseback. Behind him, Yi Ciduo and others were lined up. However, compared with before, there was one more Heihan and Zhuo.
Yes, now that three days have passed, Shen Tang is preparing to lead his troops northward to completely end this war.
Just as Shen Tang had speculated, after the news was blocked, the Xixia soldiers north of the Great Wall soon got the news about Xijing and Xiashui Town.
Moreover, on the night of the battle in Xiashui Town, with flames shooting into the sky and shouts of killing, the Xixia Army, which was only separated from Xiashui Town by the Great Wall, had already noticed something strange.
However, the news has only been confirmed now.
The first time the Xixia Army coach received the news, he was shocked and unbelievable. All the 70,000 troops in total were killed by the Jin?
From where did the Jin people send reinforcements?
The reaction at the next moment was to retreat as quickly as possible.
Go, stay away from Xiashui Town, go, leave the Jin Kingdom directly, and return to Xixia! As for the Wanggu tribe who restrained He Shiliezhining's army in the north of Fengzhou, they were directly selectively forgotten by the Xixia army.
Just in the early morning of yesterday, tens of thousands of Xixia troops originally stationed in the north of the Great Wall had disappeared! According to the reports from the Jin Kingdom Rangers, those Xixia troops would get in the way of baggage, sundries, and even snatch a lot of things from the towns of the Jin Kingdom. Throw away everything you have and head towards the border as quickly as possible.
After only one night and half a day, the Xixia army had traveled a full three to four hundred miles. I am afraid that by now, they may have returned to the border of Xixia...
Shen Tang did not send anyone to chase them. It was not a good choice to go head-to-head with the 60,000 to 70,000 Xixia troops. Now that they were frightened away, the goal had been achieved and there was no need for further trouble.
After confirming the departure of the Xixia Army, Yi Ciduo and others were ordered to organize the army from Mao Shi!
Today, a total of 60,000 troops have gathered here, of which 15,000 are left to continue guarding at the Great Wall Pass. Five thousand were sent back to Xijing by Shen Tang to strengthen the defense of Xijing, and the remaining 40,000 troops , have now all gathered in the south of Xiashui Town, preparing to follow Shen Tang to Fengzhou.
"General, all 40,000 troops are already in line and ready to go at any time."
Heshi Liezhining came on horseback and loudly reported to Shen Tang.
"Set off!"
When Shen Tang heard this, he gave a sharp shout and took the lead to hit his horse and run away.
Behind him, the 40,000-strong army marched forward in harmony, following closely behind Shen Tang.
According to the division of state capitals, Xiashui Town and Xijing naturally belong to Datong Prefecture, and Datong Prefecture is actually almost parallel to the north and south of Fengzhou, with Fengzhou in the west and Datong Prefecture in the east.
Xiashui Town is about 400 miles north of Xijing, and from Xiashui Town to Fengzhou Government Office to enrich the people, you need to go northwest for about 600 miles.
The rich people went all the way north for about six to seven hundred miles before reaching the Tianshan Mountains. To the north of the Tianshan Mountains was the vast grassland and desert spanning thousands of miles, which was vast and sparsely populated.
In other words, there is almost no human habitation. Although it is also within the jurisdiction of the Jin Kingdom, the Jin Kingdom did not send troops to garrison here.
Therefore, the boundary between the Jin Kingdom and the Mongolian Wanggu Tribe can be said to be extremely blurred.
Even, gradually some members of the Wanggu tribe migrated to this vast land.
In this regard, Jin Guo did not make much reaction.
However, these small tribes, numbering in the dozens or even hundreds, are like water droplets in the ocean in this area that spans thousands of miles. Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that this place is an uninhabited land.
Shen Tang and others ran all the way towards Fumin. Two days later, they saw Fengzhou City standing in a mountainous depression! There were thousands of people guarding it. However, Shen Tang and others did not Got too much news about He Shiliezhining or Wang Gubu.
All we know is that He Shilie Zhining is now in the Tianshan area to the north of Fengzhou. A few days ago, there were traces of Wang Gu's army there, but they quickly retreated into the wilderness in the north and did not fight with He Shilie. Zhining's army fought.
After staying in Fengzhou City for a day for repairs, Shen Tang and others once again led their troops to the north, heading towards the Tianshan Mountains...
The bright moon rises out of the Tianshan Mountains, among the vast sea of clouds! The wind blows tens of thousands of miles across Yumen Pass!
In fact, Tianshan is not as beautiful as imagined, and Tianchi is not as mysterious as imagined.
Tianshan Mountain is not much different from other mountain peaks. It towers into the clouds, and the top of the mountain is covered with snow all year round! The south of Tianshan Mountain and the north of Tianshan Mountain are like two worlds.
The south of the Tianshan Mountains is the human world, and the north of the Tianshan Mountains is the fairyland.
However, this fairyland is deserted and not a suitable residence for mortals...
After spending four or five days, Shen Tang and others finally arrived at the foot of Tianshan Mountain! Looking at the endless military camps, Shen Tang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
If Heshi Liezhining led his army into the wilderness, that would really be a bad thing.
Compared to myself and others, in terms of familiarity with the wilderness, I and others are simply not as good as those tribes in Mongolia.
What's more, those small tribes scattered like chess in this wasteland may not have no connection with the Wanggu tribe.
After all, both sides were originally split from the same clan.
In this case, Wang Gu's tribe was not only able to obtain supplies in the wasteland, but also had countless eyes to act as their spies.
But when he and others entered it, it was like a blind man touching an elephant, unable to see clearly what was going on.
The arrival of Shen Tang's army immediately caused the military camp in the distance to boil.
This sudden army was enough to surprise He Shi Liezhining and others.
"Barumu, take the lead and come forward first to avoid misunderstanding!"
Shen Tang said to Balumu that he was the commander-in-chief of the personal soldiers under Heshi Liezhining, so it was naturally appropriate for him to go first.
Balumu obeyed the order, and then he mounted his horse and headed directly towards the gate of the military camp.
Shen Tang, on the other hand, asked the army to stop temporarily and wait for the response from the front!
By this time, about half an hour had passed.
Then, Shen Tang and others saw dozens of riders exiting the camp gate and galloping towards their direction! And who was the leader if not He Shi Liezhining?
Shen Tang immediately dismounted and led Yi Ciduo and several others to come forward to greet him.
"I've met the general!"
Shen Tang drank it with his hands, and several people behind him also saluted each other.
Looking behind Shen Tang, Heihan, Zhuo, Tubahan and others were looking at their heads. Even though Balumu had just told Heshi Liezhining about their experiences, he was still extremely surprised.
