Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

Zhang Yanyu and Zeng Shaoqing did not disappoint Lin Yi.

Two months after their departure, Bazabu and Sheng Xuanren's forces were uprooted.

The speed was so fast that Lin Yi was also surprised.

When Lin Yi got the battle report between the two, he finally knew what happened.

The first is Zhang Yanyu’s fifth division.

As mentioned before, Zhang Yanyu was originally a horse bandit, so his fifth division has a large number of war horses.

This is also the reason why Zhang Yanyu was sent to the grassland by Lin Yi.

After all, the Fifth Division, which has a large number of war horses, is obviously more suitable for operations on the grassland.

Zhang Yanyu's men and horses are also good at running long distances. After receiving the order, they arrived at Tongliao in two days.

After arriving in Tongliao, Zhang Yanyu let his team rest while looking for people who were familiar with the grassland conditions.

The area outside the Pass has always been outside the scope of the empire's rule. It was only recently conquered and has a large number of Mongolian activities. It is very easy to find someone who is familiar with the grassland conditions.

And Zhang Yanyu's position as commander of the Longxiang Army of the Empire is also very easy to win over some people who are loyal to the empire.

As a result, Zhang Yanyu recruited enough guides in just five days.

A large part of these guides are from the same tribe, and the people from that tribe happen to be on the empire's side.

So, Zhang Yanyu led the fifth division across the tribe's territory and entered the Mobei area.

After arriving in Mobei, it is very close to Kulun.

Later, along the way, Zhang Yanyu stayed day and night, carved a large circle on the grassland, and attacked Kulun from the east.

At this time, Bazabu also fell into the panic caused by the evacuation of the Rakshasa people.

Because the Rakshasa people evacuated in such a hurry, Bazabu was not prepared at all.

After the Rakshasa people left, the support from the Rakshasa Kingdom also stopped immediately. As a result, Bazab's army fell into a shortage of supplies, especially bullets.

There were only ten rounds of ammunition per man, and only a handful of artillery.

At this time, the news that Daxia was going to attack him also reached Culun. Bazabu was caught in the dilemma of whether to run or not, and did not pay attention to Daxia's movements at all.

In his opinion, it would take a month for Daxia to take action against him.

So, for a month, he felt he was safe.

And he himself wanted to take advantage of this time to reorganize his army.

Bazabu knew that after the news came that Daxia was going to attack him, some of the people under him would be dishonest.

What he has to do is to clean up these people and firmly control the army in his own hands. Only in this way can he be qualified to negotiate with Daxia.

However, what Bazabu never expected was that Zhang Yanyu would come so quickly.

The Bazabu Army, which was already in turmoil, collapsed as soon as it came into contact with Zhang Yanyu's fifth division.

In fact, Bazabu's army cannot be blamed for being weak, but the huge generation gap brought about by technology makes Bazabu's army at a loss what to do.

Bazabu has [-] troops in his hands, and these [-] troops are all Mongolian cavalry.

If it were the cold weapon era, these [-] elite cavalry could pose a very big threat to the Central Plains dynasty.

However, times are changing, and cavalry, an ancient and powerful arm, is vulnerable to automation.

It’s not like the Rakshasa Kingdom didn’t provide support rifles to Bazabu. But the arrogant Mongolian cavalry still likes to use sabers to solve problems.

Therefore, facing Zhang Yanyu's tight position, these Mongolian cavalry still launched a charge.

The result was that Maxim taught them to sing and dance.

Bazabu's [-]-strong army was dispersed by Zhang Yanyu's heavy machine guns and artillery in less than an hour.

Then Zhang Yanyu's Fifth Division captured prisoners all over the grassland.

It was not until the [-]th Division of the Beijing Camp arrived half a day later that Zhang Yanyu's [-]th Division of the Longxiang Army continued to pursue Bazabu's defeated troops.

It is worth mentioning that I don’t know if the Mongolian cavalry Zhang Yanyu fought lost their temper in the first battle, or if these Mongolians were forced to have no choice but to follow Bazabu in rebellion. Now that they were dispersed, they went back to their respective homes.

Anyway, none of the defeated Bazabu army went to Kulun to report to Bazabu.

Although Bazabu also thinks that his army can't stop Zhang Yanyu, there is still no problem if he can stop him for a day or two.

Therefore, Bazab was still packing his belongings in Culun at this time, preparing to run away the next day.

Who would have thought that his troops were sent out the night before yesterday, that they were dispersed this morning, and that he himself was arrested this afternoon.

When Zhang Yanyu's fifth division came to Kulun with the sunset in the evening, Bazabu was completely confused.

Then he looked at the wolf-like soldiers of the Fifth Division, and then at the soldiers of a regiment surrounding him. Feeling that he had no place to run, Bazabu hid directly back in the city.

He also ordered his own soldiers to defend Cullen and wait for reinforcements.

However, following his thoughts and Zhang Yanyu's orders to kill only the first culprit and not count the rest, Bazabu's soldiers surrendered.

To be honest, these soldiers, doing this is somewhat unethical. After all, Bazab is his master.

But this does not mean that these soldiers are stupid. They are just ants, let alone humans.

Besides, these soldiers also know what kind of business they are doing now. In addition, Bazabu used to be his subordinate, including the soldiers who were always beaten and scolded. How much loyalty can these soldiers have to him? ?

Perhaps, in Bazabu's view, both the herdsmen and these soldiers are the private property of his prince, and he can dispose of them how he wants.

However, he forgot that even as a slave, he still had dignity.

Bazabu was defeated so quickly. On the one hand, it was because of his treason. After the Rakshasa people withdrew, it caused internal instability. On the other hand, it was also because he himself was a mean person.

That's why his soldiers surrendered so quickly.

If he could treat his own people better, he would never lose so quickly.

Finally, that night, Zhang Yanyu went to Kulun and captured Bazabu alive.

Zhang Yanyu did not embarrass Bazabu, but locked him up directly, and then prepared to send him to the Imperial Capital for trial.

After talking about Bazabu, let’s talk about Sheng Zengren.

This guy is slightly more difficult than Bazabu, but only slightly.

After all, Bazabu is the Mongolian prince, and the significance of his existence is more symbolic, while Sheng Zengren is a real soldier.

He is the guardian envoy of the Western Regions and the highest military commander in the Western Regions. To be honest, he still has some strength, but not much.

When Zeng Shaoqing's Fourth Division and the Beijing Camp's Seventh Division arrived in Ganzhou by train, they were noticed by Sheng Zengren, and then Sheng Zengren wanted to have a fight with Zeng Shaoqing.

At this time, as the largest warlord leader in the Western Region, he had nearly [-] troops in his hands.

It's just that these people's weapons are not good enough, and Sheng Zengren's treason has also spread throughout the Western Regions, causing a certain degree of low morale.

But it's just a depression, not a collapse yet.

Therefore, Sheng Zengren planned to take advantage of Zeng Shaoqing's unstable footing to fight first to boost his morale.
