The next day, when King Li Hao and Wang Kai of Yue led an army of 100,000 to the city of Hongdu, the entire Hongdu was still emitting black smoke. Li Hao did not expect that Zhong Shidao and Zhang Miao would be so cruel. In fact, under the pursuit of the Xia army, the Song army had begun to deteriorate. Since the Xia army broke through Jiangning Prefecture, the Song army had lost its establishment and became a bandit-like existence.

"Your Highness, according to the spy's return, Zhong Shidao and Zhang Miao have already coerced the Song Dynasty to move south to Linjiang. Should we continue to pursue the Song army?" Wang Kai asked King Li Hao of Yue.

King Li Hao of Yue said with a cold face: "Chasing, even if you go to heaven and earth, you will completely destroy this small court of the remnant Song Dynasty."

"Yes, the last general takes the order..." Wang Kai immediately took over the military order.

For King Li Hao of Yue, this is a rare opportunity. Now there are not many battles under the emperor's direct jurisdiction, and the whole world has been basically pacified. This is very likely to be the final battlefield. As for King Li Hao of Yue going out to develop, there is still a place to tolerate him! Don't think about the three of Yan King Li Qing, King Liang Li De and King Qi Li Ke of Qi. The three of them were not very good at dealing with Emperor Xia Li Bingchang and King Yue Li Hao of Yue. If King Li Hao of Yue Li Hao was under their command, they would have to lose their skin even if they didn't die!

As for King Yong Li Xiang and King Qin Li Zhe, there is no need to think about it. Their relationship with King Yue Li Hao is not very good. Of course, all this comes from the struggle for the position of crown prince. The remaining two are King Chu Li Huer and King Zhao Li Xing, so it goes without saying that King Zhao Li Xing is now a mortal enemy. As for King Chu Li Huer, King Zhao Li Xing, now wearing a pair of pants with King Zhao Li Xing, so in the vast world, no one in the world except Emperor Li Bingchang can tolerate Li Yue. Therefore, Li Yue needs the name Li Bingchang to show his desperately in front of Li Bingchang in exchange for his own glory and wealth.

As for King Li Hu'er, two days before the crown prince election, the old King of Chu Li Xiaoren specially asked Emperor Xia Li Bingchang to retire and return to Xingqing Prefecture. As for the position of King of Chu, it was passed to Li Hu'er. This matter has long been recognized by the Supreme Emperor Li Liangzuo. Of course, Emperor Xia Li Bingchang would not refuse and agreed, so he agreed. Therefore, it was not a long time since Li Hu'er became the King of Chu.

Looking back, let us turn our attention to the Western Regions. On the battlefield in the Western Regions, the most important enemy of the Great Xia Empire is the Seljuk Empire established by the Seljuk Turks. Now the main army in the northern part of the Seljuk Empire has been severely damaged by the Xia army with artillery. After Sevic suffered heavy damage after attacking the border city, he has led his army to retreat to Nisa and wait for assistance. The other Seljuk army was also defeated under the command of Prince Xue Qiaoer and veteran Mahat, and has led his army to retreat to Tolmi.

The strategic point of Tolmi has been mentioned not once, so I won’t say much about it here. After the Serbian army retreated to Tolmi, the Anxi guardian Li Yi led the Anxi army to pursue and kill directly under Tolmi City, and used heavy artillery to bombard the Tolmi City wall. In front of the artillery fire in the Xia army's dream, the city wall defended by the Serbian army was riddled with holes, but the Xia army did not take advantage of this to step up the attack, but just bombarded with heavy artillery.

"The Protector has just received the report from the Sentinel Cavalry. Last night, a group of Serbian cavalry fled south. It seems that they were going to bring reinforcements." A general came to Li Yi and said.

Li Yi looked at the sunset outside with his hands behind his back and asked, "Where have the army led by the two princes and Li Siqi?"

"Reported to the Great Protector, the Great Protector has arrived at Hu Siwo'erduo, and he should be able to reach the front line in more than ten days." General Xia said to Li Yi.

"I understand, you go down!" Li Yi waved his hand to Xia Jiang and said.

Seeing that Xia Jiang did not leave, Li Yi asked Xia Jiang: "What's wrong? Is there any other problem?"

Facing Li Yi's Q&A, Xia Jiang immediately said: "I am confused about something at the end, so please let the Protector of the Ministry make clear."

"If you don't understand anything, just say it." Li Yi said to Xia Jiang.

General Xia said to Li Yi: "The Great Protector, General Wu doesn't understand that this is so great that we have been bombarded like this by us. Why don't we break into the city and solve all the Serbian troops in the city, and then lead the army to continue to move south!"

Li Yi smiled and asked General Xia: "Ben Du Prophet asked you, how did the final victory of the two armies in the battle?"

"Of course it was achieved by fighting!" Xia General said to Li Yi.

"It's a good thing to say, it's a fight." Li Yi said with a smile: "But there are many kinds of battles, and the ultimate goal is to exchange for the greatest victory at the lowest cost of casualties; behind Tolmi is the Seljuk Empire. According to the news we have learned, this Seljuk Empire is a very difficult and hard bone, and the combat effectiveness of its Seljuk army is not much weaker. If we just enter the Seljuk Empire like this, if something unexpected happens, we can regret it;

So I ordered you to keep here and wait for the reinforcements of the Serbian army. No matter what the final battle is, the most important thing for us is no longer fighting, but waiting; waiting for the arrival of the Serbian reinforcements. After the reinforcements of the Serbian army arrive, we can fully fight the Serbian army here, vigorously kill and injure the main force of the Serbian army, and reduce some damage to our army in the future."

"Yes, General Xu understands it, thank you, Protector." General Xia said with great admiration.

In fact, Li Yi has another very important reason not to be said, that is, waiting for the arrival of King Li Zhe of Qin. Although King Li Zhe of Qin is not very old, he is still a prince. Li Yi has made enough contributions to the border for so many years. Now he is a Duke and has his own fief in the territory of the New Qin State. If Li Yi really fought south before the Serbian army could react and completely beat the Serbian army to the ground, then Li Yi would be really powerful and shocked the master. How could the emperor be rewarded and named Li Yi as the king...

Half a month later, King Li Zhe of Qin brought General Li Siqi outside the city of Termi. Some of the Gelulu cavalry arrived with reinforcements. Most of the Gelulu cavalry followed King Yong Li Xiang westward. Although King Yong Li Xiang's fiefdom was in the north, there were no powerful enemies in the north. Therefore, King Yong Li Xiang decided to help his younger brother take down the Seljuk Empire first. Now the Xia army formed a coalition force in the Western Regions. In addition to the main force of the Xia army, there were also the Gelulu people and some other tribal cavalry.

Despite so many years of assimilation reforms, Confucian culture has been deeply integrated into their bloodlines. They also speak Chinese, but their original shadow is still there, which is impossible to completely remove. They can have a certain amount of military force for these tribes according to their size, but these are ultimately under the unified jurisdiction of the Great Protectorate.
