Chapter 253: Destroy Shiwei?

"Your Highness, if everything goes well, we can destroy the Shiwei in just one month." Li Jing continued to persuade.

"Okay, whatever, let's just solve it together. The worst that can happen is that I'll have to go to Persia again."

Ning Quan gritted his teeth and decided to wipe out the Shiwei.

"Send the order down. Have Lü Bu lead 30,000 troops to garrison, and the rest of the troops must immediately assemble and march towards Shiwei."

"Yes." Li Jing bowed in response.

Half a day later, the army marched towards Shiwei.

...........

The Shiwei and Khitan had the same origin, but for some unknown reason they split into two.

The two sides were separated by the Greater Khingan Range, with the southern part belonging to Khitan and the northern part to Shiwei.

Like the Xiongnu, the Shiwei were also a nomadic people, mainly organized into tribes. There were more than thirty tribes of varying sizes, with a population of nearly 400,000.

The leader of the Shiwei tribe is named Batur, who is in his forties. He is brave and good at fighting and is the pride of the Shiwei people.

The Shiwei bordered the Eastern Xiongnu to the west, so Batur was always very concerned about the battle between Ningquan and Maodun.

In Batur's opinion, Ning Quan and Maodun were evenly matched and it would be difficult to determine the winner in a short time.

Batur also hopes that the two sides will fight as long as possible, and it would be best if both sides suffer losses.

Especially Maodun, because the Eastern Xiongnu had always been the enemy of the Shiwei, the two sides had been at odds for many years, and the Shiwei were always at a disadvantage and suffered a lot.

But the development of the matter was completely beyond Batur's expectations. Maodun was easily defeated by Ning Quan.

And this time, Maodun was not only defeated, but also killed directly.

More importantly, the entire Eastern Xiongnu was later destroyed by Ning Quan.

These are not the key points. The key point is that Ning Quan did not stop and directly led the army to rush towards Shiwei, obviously wanting to completely destroy Shiwei.

This shocked Batur and made him very angry.

But he also knew that Ning Quan was not easy to mess with, after all, his strength was there.

So Batur immediately made arrangements. On the one hand, he quickly recalled the army that had entered Hedong, and on the other hand, he urgently asked the Khitan for help.

The relationship between the Khitan and the Shiwei was very special. Although the two sides had the same origin, there were considerable conflicts between them and wars often broke out.

However, the two sides have a tacit understanding that whenever they encounter a strong enemy, they will work together to resist the foreign enemy.

If the Shiwei were in danger, the Khitan would definitely come to their aid.

If the Khitans were in danger, the Shiweis would be rescued.

Of course, it is precisely because of this that the Shiwei and Khitan have survived to this day and have not been destroyed by the Daqian.

Upon hearing that the Shiwei were in trouble, the Khitan immediately mobilized 50,000 troops to support them.

At the same time, Batur was also actively preparing for the battle.

As the saying goes, a single move can affect the entire body. Ning Quan's impromptu decision inadvertently helped Ning Yuanwu a lot.

The Shiwei army withdrew from Hedong and the Khitan army withdrew from Lulong, which greatly reduced the pressure on the northwest of Daqian. The King of Zhenbei and the King of Zhendong were able to free up time to deal with Huainan.

In this way, he could take Huainan as soon as possible.

When Ning Yuanwu received the news, he didn't know what to say for a moment and his mood was extremely complicated.

Ning Yuanwu didn't want to appreciate Ning Quan's favor, but he had to admit that Ning Quan helped him again this time.

He couldn't refute that.

But he also understood that Ning Quan had become a major threat to Daqian, and sooner or later he and Ning Quan would have to fight to the death.

Without time to think, Ning Yuanwu immediately ordered the King of Zhenbei and the King of Zhendong to march south to assist the prince in taking Huainan in one fell swoop.

............

At this time, Ning Quan led his army into the territory of Shiwei.

Since the Shiwei tribes evacuated in time according to Batur's order, Ning Quan did not encounter any Shiwei tribes along the way.

Ning Quan didn't care about this at all. As long as he could capture the royal court of Shiwei, everything would be solved.

"Your Highness, the Shiwei army is now gathering near the royal court, and it seems that they are preparing for a decisive battle with our army." Li Jing reported.

"That's good. It saves a lot of effort."

"Your Highness, the total number of troops from Shiwei and the Khitan who came to support us is nearly 200,000. We must not be careless." Li Jing reminded.

"Well, I understand. I certainly won't be careless."

"Speaking of the Khitans, how many people do they have? How many troops do they have?"

Ning Quan nodded and then asked.

"Your Highness, the total population of Khitan is over 300,000, and there are approximately 120,000 to 130,000 combat-ready soldiers."

Li Jing replied.

"Is that so?" Ning Quan nodded and said, "Then what do you think? Can we destroy the Khitan as well?"

"Your Highness, do you mean that we should eat the Khitan as well?"

"That's right, wouldn't that solve the problem once and for all?"

“Yes, we can, but how do we solve the food problem?”

"If we send more troops to attack Khitan, our food reserves will run out."

Li Jing said worriedly.

"It doesn't matter. Can we get rid of the Khitan in two months?"

"If you can, do it."

"After we conquer Khitan, I will go to Persia or the Womyer Empire to get food, and we should be able to connect." Ning Quan said.

"Your Highness, it should be no problem to conquer Khitan in two months."

After thinking for a moment, Li Jing confirmed.

"Okay, let's do it." Ning Quan said with a smile.

"Yes."

Li Jing accepted the order.

Then, the army continued to advance towards the Shiwei royal court.

The royal court of Shiwei was located in the heart of Shiwei, four hundred miles away from Ningquan's current location.

According to the speed of the cavalry, they can arrive in seven or eight days.

Seven days later, the army arrived at the royal court of Shiwei.

The so-called royal court was actually just a crude tribal camp with simple walls that were less than two meters high.

At this moment, the Shiwei army has lined up in an orderly manner to welcome the arrival of Ningquan's army.

The army of more than 200,000 people looks very imposing.

Batur, tribal leaders, and Khitan generals all stood in front of the formation, each of them looking very aggressive.

Ning Quan didn't care about these things. He only cared about the positions of Batur and others, which was exactly what he wanted.

If everyone stands in front of the formation, wouldn't a few shots be enough to solve the problem?

After figuring out who Batu was, Ning Quan immediately got into the armored vehicle and started aiming.

At the same time, Li Jing, Huo Qubing and others were also ready to charge.

Batur certainly noticed this strange armored vehicle, but he had no idea what it was, let alone how powerful it was.

He just snorted coldly, curled his lips in disdain, and then gave the order to prepare for the attack.

But at this moment, a roar suddenly came from the armored vehicle.

Immediately afterwards, several shells flew out with a whistling sound, instantly hitting Batur and the generals of the surrounding tribes.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The sound of artillery shells exploding rang out, and Batur and others were instantly blown to pieces.

"kill."

Before the Shiwei soldiers could recover from their panic, Li Jing, Huo Qubing and others led their troops in a charge.
