One hundred and forty-four, "Never Say No to Field Marshal Pherry Taylor and His Nine Wars" (14)

Leatherman leaped 13 thousand miles. Just as Timur Khan was struggling with frequent attacks along the way, Marshal Fili Taylor, who had initially stabilized the situation on the west coast, also commanded the Xiangrui to take off the eastward expedition on March 10, using the high speed of the floating battleship to arrive at Leatherman before Timur Khan.

At this time, Feili had only a few thousand people in her hands, and most of the troops were still scattered in the north and Am to clear the remnants of the Tukan army, and she was not born for a while. However, the outskirts of the city of Imilma, there were 100,000 troops of the Tukan people stationed. Even if most of the troops were sent to save Timur Khan, Feili still had as many as 30,000 enemies, and there were 40,000 Serre troops not far away. It was a hard battle no matter how you look at it. [com]

But in fact, the battle to resolve the remnants of this group of enemies ended quite easily, because the guide to the Tukan Iron Cavalry, Ser's Red Robe Mage, had already negotiated with Feili and Mitsui Ryuki for a period of time to turn against each other.

——As mentioned earlier, in many cases, the daggers stabbed from behind are more dangerous than the enemies in front of you.

So, the red-robed mages pretended to host a banquet, but in fact they were ambushed the killer to assassinate. The senior officers of the left-behind troops of the Tukan Khanate were almost beaten up in one fell swoop, and the remaining soldiers also lost their backbone and were quickly defeated.

Then, Fili held a meeting with the "Iron King" Alfertekaromins, who was still fighting in the capital of Imilma, and passed several threats, which prompted Lesserman and Serre to reach a temporary reconciliation, and was able to join forces to fight against the Tukan army that was about to attack from the East and the West.

——After several twists and turns, I finally received the heavy defeat of the Khan Khan in the Western Expedition, the Khanate elders who stayed in the west of the endless wilderness. The Winter Fort colony, which was originally a red robed wizard, tried every means to gather a group of troops and drove west from the Winter Fort, and slowly moved forward against the wind and snow. I planned to rescue the remnants of the Western Expedition Army who were in trouble so that these grassland men could return home safely.

14 Battle of Asen Lake - Khan's end

On March 22, 1996, about 80,000 Tukan reinforcements slowly drove from the grasslands in the east and arrived at the northern shore of the Assen Lake in the north of the Ledeman Kingdom, and encountered the coalition forces of the Neserel Empire and the Serre Kingdom here. The first Assen Lake Battle broke out.

Although the Tukans had the advantage of military strength, the quality of this group of reinforcements was very poor. They were just ordinary herders and even slaves recruited from various tribes. They had seriously lacked combat experience and were almost stunned as soon as the fire broke out. After barely persisting for a while, the Tukans finally fell into chaos, and the entire army was disintegrated, and they could never gather again after the collapse.

In the evening of that day, the first Battle of Asenhu was basically over. Feili paid only a slight price of killing and seriously injured about 500 people, and completely defeated the 80,000 Tukan reinforcements.

On March 25, Timur Khan's army rushed from the West to the Assen Lake battlefield, which led to the Second Assen Lake Battle.

In the evening of that day, the Tukan army and the Giant Bear Legion of Feili exchanged fire and dispatched cavalry assault, but failed to achieve any decent results. So both sides set up camp and rested, preparing for the next day's decisive battle. However, this decisive battle did not actually break out - late that night, under the guidance of several enemy betrayers, an elite commando of the Giant Bear Legion attacked the golden tent of Timur Khan and successfully captured the Khan himself.

After seeing the Canglang flag in the golden tent falling down, the Tukan army immediately mutinized and dispersed, and had no intention of fighting again, and they all fled to seize the road.

——Like most nomadic empires throughout history, the other tribes conquered by Timur Khan, except for some of the people who were disbanded and merged into their own tribes, they joined the grassland empire system in an organized manner - as long as they can show sufficient obedience. For the Tukan Khanate, the advantage of doing this is to incorporate opponents into their own camp at a relatively small cost: the disadvantage is that once their control becomes weak, those conquered people who can completely retain their tribal culture will easily become treacherous people.

Therefore, after Timur Khan suffered a crushing defeat, most of the direct army was killed and injured, and even he was captured, he built a huge empire, or the huge robber group, naturally collapsed.

At this point, as Timur Khan became a prisoner, the nomadic tide officially ended.

In April of the end of the war, after capturing Timur Khan, Feili returned to the empire in triumph by his Aoi Floating Battleship, and headed straight to the Kingdom of Cormier, planning to wipe out the remnants of the Southern Army who were still holding the remnants of the remnants of the remnants of the remnants of the rebels before the division.

However, at this time, the Kingdom of Cormier had completely lost its will to fight and surrendered unconditionally almost at the same time as the Xiangrui arrived.

At the same time, Aolu brought the rebuilt Ginkgo Legion to return to Yin Shadow Valley to suppress the local elves rebellion. With the help of the elf queen Alanita, a group of the most deadly and hard-working elements were brought back to the royal family, so the order of Yin Shadow Valley was quickly restored.

Finally, the battle to wipe out the remaining defeated soldiers and horse thieves on all parts of the West Coast that were once ravaged by Titsabak Khan also went quite smoothly.

By the end of April, the three final battlefields in the empire had basically returned to peace.

During the ups and downs of war in the past two years, at least 50 million people in the Feren continent disappeared, and thousands of cities were reduced to ruins. The shaking Federation of Serre officially collapsed and became more than a dozen small states: the elves that dominate the seven seas lost their homeland, leaving only a little embers of overseas colonial cities: Although the Naisèrel Empire also suffered unprecedented damage, it finally became a well-deserved winner.

In short, after such a catastrophe of nomadic tide invasion, the war energy accumulated on the Feren continent over the years has been basically exhausted, and it can even be said to be overdrawn. For a long time in the future, all countries must lick their own wounds and cure the wounds of war. It is difficult to have the strength to launch a new war. Therefore, within the foreseeable future, the Feren continent will maintain relative peace as a whole.

Summary: It was mixed with bloody smoke, originating from the endless wilderness east of the Feren continent, but it spreads westward like a rolling flood: it swallowed Lesserman, the hometown of the Red Robe Mage, the dense jungle Agraron Peninsula, the Sesk on the north shore of the Sea of ​​Descent, the north of Muhanred, where the pyramid stands behind the dunes, Nafer between the Arctic glaciers and the barren tundra, Vasa and Damara: it swallowed the Santil Fortress on the west side of the Moon Sea: it swallowed half of the Silver Moon Federation east of the Swords: it swallowed the vast and rich Am, Taeser and the southern part of the Northland, and finally exploded and vanished in the blink of an eye.

This is the portrayal of the nomadic tide launched by Timur Khan on the mainland map - first it came like a summer rainstorm, and then it ended suddenly like a summer rainstorm, leaving only ruins, ashes and corpses everywhere.

Compared with the past few nomadic waves, the invasion of Timur Khan was larger and the results were more brilliant, but the ending was equally tragic.

This nomadic wave eventually failed, and many reasons can be found in terms of technology, diplomacy, politics, tactics and fortune.

But from a subjective perspective, even within his Khan, this nomadic tide was actually very unpopular.

Those vassal forces that were forced to follow in front of the iron hooves, and they could not get any benefits from bleeding and sweating, naturally there is no need to mention them. But even the nomads of the Tukan tribe, whom he regarded as the pillar, were not so enthusiastic about the war on the expedition to the Feren continent - the human nature is just a lazy person, and even the most fierce Tukan nomads are no exception.

In the past, when they were poor and poor, these brave warriors with nothing could be afraid of life and death in order to get rich. But at this time, the Tukan Khanate had clearly occupied the vast and prosperous land and obtained countless wealth, but they did not manage and enjoy it well. Instead, they had to continue to fight to the death. Most nomads felt that it was not worth the land, including cattle and sheep, and wealth, but they had to continue to be busy with wars and have no time to enjoy it. If they were not done well, they would lose their lives... Isn't this a loss?

What's more, the Tukan Khanate, like the Elf Kingdom, cannot afford to bear too much human resource consumption.

——In the past twenty or thirty years, although the Tukan nomads on the grassland have fought at an astonishing speed and established a huge imperial hegemony. However, their territory is barren, harsh climate, and sparsely populated areas. It has been difficult to make a living since ancient times. Even if the territory expands sharply, the population will be difficult to increase simultaneously. In addition, although the wars have won many times, many people have died on the battlefield...

Therefore, within the entire territory of the Tukan Khanate, there are actually only 1.2-1.3 million real Tukan people.

If the young and weak are removed, the truly young and strong horse athletes will probably not even be able to gather 300,000 people, and more troops can only be recruited from the conquered vassal states.

Therefore, amid the boredom of his own compatriots and the fear of his vassals, Timur Khan forced this Western Expedition with his prestige, which was actually a big bet with his political status and the stable rule of the Khanate. If he wins, he will become the master of the entire world: if he loses, the Khanate will inevitably fall apart and cannot even maintain its existing sphere of influence.

And the ending of this Khan was indeed a complete loss and even his own life was not saved.

Although the final failure of Timur Khan seemed more like his own destruction. But don't forget that if the Giant Bear Legion had not fought on the southern bank of the Shadow Sea, they would have defeated the Tukan advance team as soon as Momode and made the Cormier rebels retreat fearfully, making them unable to launch an attack from the west against Yin Shadow Valley and Santilburg, then under the attack on both sides, the eastern front of the empire would inevitably collapse at a faster speed.

In this way, if the thriving Tukan cavalry successfully swept across the western border of Neseril before the great arcanes recovered one after another, or the remnants of the Woking Church and the Magic Goddess Church were all trapped in internal fire and caused the complete collapse of domestic defense forces. Then, Timur Khan could make full use of this short time difference, and perhaps it would really cause the Neseril Empire to fall apart completely, let his cavalry completely conquer the entire continent of Feren, thereby rewriting the fate of the entire world - even if it is only temporary...

Therefore, describing this nomadic tide as a war that determines the fate of the world is definitely not an exaggeration to describe it.

Ten, Conclusion: Heroes, never give up!

Perhaps, in the dreams of many people, heroes are not afraid, powerful, and omnipotent. But this is just an ideal hero.

In reality, everyone will have fear, fear, weakness, helplessness, and powerlessness. However, from the moment they decide not to bow to fate, they unknowingly embark on the path of heroes. Those real, vivid, and truly touching heroes usually come from ordinary weak people, and then in the difficult test and baptism of setbacks, they are transformed bit by bit and reborn from the fire.

In this chaotic world of intense movement, there has never been any omniscient and omnipotent hero. Each of us is just an ordinary person who has been abandoned and played with by fate. The power, honor and status of each person and every country will be destroyed in the intrigue game of throne. If one accidentally becomes ashes, the things that remain in the end are often only corpses and ruins everywhere.

Many famous great figures fell in endless disputes and fights.

Perhaps, only the black crow pecking at the rotten corpse on the battlefield and the silent land stained with blood can understand that the protagonist of the cruel book hidden behind all these brilliant achievements, Marshal Ferry Taylor, is not an omniscient and omnipotent superhero, nor is he extremely lucky to win every battle. On the contrary, he also has failures, setbacks, stupid things, and traps... There are lucky moments when everything goes well, and there are unlucky times when drinking a sip of cold water is stuffed. At first glance, it seems very ordinary.

But Feili's most valuable quality lies in perseverance. Whether in good times or bad times, he maintains a cautious and optimistic attitude, never give up easily, and never give up until the last moment. It is this tenacious psychological quality and sense of responsibility that forged his current success.
