Chapter 940: Captured Britannia
Chapter 940: Captured Britannia
The King of Britannia fled with his bodyguard.
He was still galloping on horseback under the watchful eyes of Bu Zhen, Sun Xiangzhou, Huang Zhen, Liu Qi and others.
Bu Zhen was already angry, and seeing the British escape made him even angrier.
"This shameless man actually abandoned the army and fled!"
Several cavalry units have surrounded the remaining Canglang Cavalry in an area.
There are also about 8,000 Canglang Riders, who have shown potential far beyond their previous level when their leader escaped.
They all drew the scimitars at their waists in tacit understanding, ready to sacrifice their lives for the country.
Bu Zhen brought the Iron Harriers to block the retreat, and looking at these Canglang Cavalry soldiers who were trying to die, he finally softened his heart.
"You are all warriors of my five tribes of Nushipi!"
"The ones we should be loyal to are not that bastard Helu, but Jili Khan and Shibi Khan of the five tribes of Nushibi!"
"Even though Jili Khan is dead, Shibi Khan is still alive. If you don't want to be cursed forever, then lay down your weapons and follow His Majesty Shibi Khan, the Golden Horde, and us to surrender to the Tang Dynasty!"
After all, they all came from the Nu Shi Bi five tribes, and these soldiers had no power to choose before. Now Bu really wanted to give them a chance.
Under Bu Zhen's persuasion, most of the Canglang Riders finally chose to discard their weapons.
In fact, they did not want to fight this battle, but they were forced to do so because of the suppression of the Britannic Empire.
Since someone is willing to give them new choices, they are naturally willing to raise their hands and surrender to Buzhen, the former Turkic general.
But there were still some people who were unwilling to give up their weapons. These soldiers saluted in the direction of the Stone Kingdom and finally committed suicide.
The Grey Wolf Cavalry, which once numbered as many as 15,000, had nearly 6,000 killed under the leadership of Capricorn, and more than 3,000 committed suicide after Capricorn abandoned them, leaving only about 5,000 people.
These soldiers took off their armor and discarded all their weapons to show their surrender. They lay on the ground under the supervision of nearly a thousand Iron Harriers, ready to wait for the war here to end before becoming prisoners.
More than 30,000 troops of the Leopard Division were surrounded and suppressed by the Khitan infantry and five cavalry units. In the end, almost all of them were killed, and only less than 3,000 infantrymen surrendered.
After the battle, Bu Zhen, Liu Qi and others greeted each other, introduced themselves, and then gathered together.
"What a pity that I couldn't kill that bastard Kael'Britan!"
Bu Zhen put away his scimitar, feeling a little depressed.
Zhang Huan said, "Don't worry, someone has already cut off their escape route."
Just when Bu Zhen was still confused, dozens of riders came from the direction of the British escape.
These cavalrymen were dressed in linen clothes, their heads were wrapped in linen, they had scimitars at their waists, and their faces were hidden under the linen, with only their noses and eyes exposed.
"Look, it's coming!"
Liu Qi pointed at the cavalry and spoke with a smile.
This cavalry was none other than the Wind Riders left behind by Ulezhi, led by Ulezhi's deputy, Miha.
The Black-Armored Cavalry and the Qianniu Guards cavalry galloped for three days and three nights to come to support, and these people followed behind. Liu Qi was not clear about their intentions, but when he thought that this was one of the emperor's personal guards, he felt relieved and left his back to them.
It was not until they were near the battlefield that Liu Qi discovered that this group of wind riders had disappeared, but he did not take it to heart.
It was not until this moment, when he saw the leader Miha throw the Capricorns off their horse, that he understood the real purpose of this uprising.
After they approached the battlefield, the decision they made was to run away and be ready to intercept the enemy's retreat at any time.
Miha dismounted and clasped his fists towards everyone:
"Your Majesty, I, Miha, the Deputy Commander of the Wind Riders, greet all the generals!"
"I discovered this fellow was trying to escape, but I captured him alive!"
Bu Zhen had long heard that Helu had a group of wind riders under his command, but he didn't know that Li Cunxi also had a group of wind riders under his command.
Even after capturing Britannia, this doubt was not overshadowed by the joy.
When everyone was laughing around Kael'britan, Bu Zhen asked cautiously:
"General, please forgive my poor eyesight. I only know that Helu has a group of wind riders under his command."
"I didn't know that His Majesty actually has a group of Wind Rider cavalry."
Miha didn't feel embarrassed and said calmly:
"We were sent into the Great Zhou by Prince Helu several years ago to assassinate the former emperor."
"The queen was captivated by your majesty's charm, and therefore, served as your guardian. Now that your majesty has taken the throne, I have also taken on the position of deputy commander."
Bu Zhen's doubts were resolved and he nodded.
"No wonder Helu no longer had a wind rider by his side. I didn't expect him to submit to Your Majesty so early. This is truly a cause for celebration."
……
The captured Britannia sat in the military tent and no one cared about him for the time being.
After this war, the Turks will no longer have the military strength to counterattack the Tang Dynasty and Khitan.
Li Wanshan discussed with everyone and finally made a decision. After cleaning up the battlefield, they would send the Khitan cavalry, Iron Harriers, Yingzhou Guards Cavalry, as well as the Black Armored Cavalry and Qianniu Guards Cavalry who came to support them, plus the Wind Riders Cavalry who were good at hiding, to rush to the Stone Kingdom first.
At this moment, the troops of both sides were rushing towards Shiguo. Whoever arrived first would get the credit for capturing Helu alive.
Among all the armies, the cavalry is the fastest!
It would be easy for these more than 30,000 cavalrymen to attack at the same time and rush to Shiguo to capture Helu!
Of course, if the Right Guard, Right Dragon Guard and Golden Horde Guard rush to the Stone Kingdom at full speed, it is still unclear who will arrive first.
After being hungry for a whole day, Jie Britain finally saw Bu Zhen who came to look for him after dark.
When their eyes met, Galatians said:
"Why don't you kill me?"
Bu Zhen felt a little tired. He rubbed his eyes and sat aside to drink tea.
He didn't know how to answer this question, but killing Cathar Britannia was his wish.
Kill, definitely kill.
But I don’t know when to kill him.
There are certain rules for whether to kill them after presenting them to the emperor or to kill them among the Turks.
"You won't live for many days, so don't ask for death."
Sun Xiangzhou also walked in and started to criticize as soon as he opened his mouth.
After Sun Xiangzhou, a group of senior generals walked in.
Miha was at the back, covering his face with a piece of sackcloth.
"Everybody sit down, everybody sit down."
Sun Xiangzhou gestured for everyone to sit down, and then naturally sat in the main seat.
"Everyone knows the Supreme Khan's proposal. We will lead the cavalry tomorrow."
"From here to Stone Country, if we travel at full speed, it will take no more than four days."
"The Turkic army has been basically defeated. The remaining city defense forces are not a concern. The last Leopard Division and two Eagle Divisions are guarding near the Stone Kingdom. They don't pose much pressure on us."
"So, everyone, go back tonight and have a good night's sleep."
"Tomorrow at noon, we will wait for the cavalry to set out!"
Everyone had no objection and said in unison:
"Here!"
