I really became a king.

Chapter 443

Although Hanshan City is a military stronghold, it also serves as the economic and trade center of the Quanshi Dynasty in Western Xinjiang. Goods traveling from the south to the north are transferred here and then either enter Hanshan Pass or flow south to the three major dynasties of Dali, Xifan, and Baiyue.

Then it flows through the three great dynasties to the entire wild continent, so the economy of Hanshan City is extremely prosperous.

Especially after the climate conditions in Demon Realm Pass changed dramatically, this place was also significantly affected. The land is no longer desolate, water is no longer scarce, and more merchants have returned to this ancient trade route.

But at this time, the sky was filled with war clouds.

The entire Hanshan City has been surrounded by nearly one million troops, cutting off all external connections, including Hanshan Pass, which is only a few hundred kilometers away, and has been completely isolated.

During this period of time, while the Yiwang Mansion's large army surrounded Hanshan City, hundreds of thousands of brave cavalry had been patrolling the periphery, completely eliminating all the dog-cannibalistic forces south of Hanshan Pass except for Hanshan City.

At the same time, all the reinforcements coming from Hanshan Pass were surrounded and annihilated, totaling hundreds of thousands of people.

Whether it was for the Inushi Dynasty or the Xifan and Baiyue Dynasties, the Yiwang Mansion's troops coming out from three directions was very abrupt.

When the three great dynasties were completely unprepared, they attacked the two passes and one city of Heishui, Niangzi and Hanshan with lightning speed, and secured the victory in one fell swoop.

Now that Heishui Pass and Niangzi Pass have been taken, only Hanshan City remains.

After being continuously harassed and raided by an army of nearly one million, Hanshan City is now at the end of its strength.

Although it still has tall and thick city walls, everyone knows that the day of the city being captured is imminent and the Inushi Dynasty can no longer protect Hanshan City.

As if they had anticipated this outcome, the dog-eater army at Hanshan Pass completely gave up on the rescue, closed the gates tightly, and no longer sent out a single soldier, which made Hanshan City even more vulnerable.

Everyone understood that the reason why Hanshan City had not been breached was because nearly a million troops outside the city were waiting for someone.

So when Jiang Yi led tens of thousands of his personal troops to appear at the foot of Hanshan City, the entire Hanshan City was filled with earth-shaking cheers that shook the earth and echoed through the sky.

As far as the eye could see, everyone looked in the direction of the Dali King's flag, their eyes full of heat and fighting spirit.

Because they knew that the flag of King Dali had arrived and the time to break into the city had come.

After learning of Jiang Yi's arrival, the main generals of Prince Yi's Palace had already been waiting at the foot of Hanshan City. When Jiang Yi approached them, they all bowed and said:
"See you, my lord!"

"No thanks!" Jiang Yi smiled and waved his hand, dismounted from his horse, and walked towards the king's tent not far away. Dozens of key generals followed closely behind him.

At this time, the defense around the king's tent had been completely taken over by the royal army camp. There was a guard post every three steps and a sentry every five steps. Tens of thousands of royal soldiers were guarding the king's tent tightly.

Prince Guo Jiang Huan, who had followed Jiang Yi all the way north, felt mixed emotions when he saw the powerful military force under Hanshan City.

He knew that the flag of King Dali, which had been silent for many years, finally stood tall again on the prairie.

The Prince Yi in front of him already has many generals and millions of soldiers under his command.

After entering the royal tent, Jiang Yi did not sit down immediately, but turned around and invited: "Uncle, please take a seat." Prince Guo Jiang Huan nodded with a smile and did not refuse, but did not sit on the main seat at the top. Instead, he walked to the bottom of the main seat. At the same time, Jiang Yi also walked towards the main seat.

After extending his hand to signal, Prince Guo Jiang Se responded with a smile and sat down almost immediately after Jiang Yi.

None of the dozens of generals in the king's tent took their seats. Instead, they all stood there in a row, with respectful expressions and a strong fighting spirit.

Mo Ruhai was also in the king's tent at this time. Although he was invited by Jiang Yi to take a seat, he refused with a smile and just stood silently behind Prince Guo Jiang Huan.

After Jiang Yi took his seat, he looked around the entire royal tent, and for a moment he felt a sense of heroism in his heart. At this time, almost all the main generals under Prince Yi's command had gathered here.

The first is the direct lineage of his starting point - the Eight Tribes of Sun and Moon. However, the words Sun and Moon are rarely mentioned anymore, and they are collectively referred to as the Eight Tribes of Western Frontier.

Among the eight divisions, except Jiang Zhongshan and Luo Yishou who were stationed at the Demon Realm Pass, the other six division leaders Lin Yizi, Su Qingfeng, Chu Kuan, Jiang Xuehen, Ning Wuze, and Tian Buyi were all present.

After the last reorganization, the total strength of the eight divisions reached nearly 200,000. Moreover, all of them were equipped with uniform Sun and Moon double wheels, and they were Jiang Yi's absolutely trusted troops.

In particular, the eight leaders were each focused on their own Sun and Moon command arrows, making the other troops envious.

Next was Jiang Yi's personal army camp. After expansion, the strength of the camp had exceeded 30,000. In addition to the original personal army camp, it also absorbed a number of personnel from other troops.

Then there was the Brave Soldiers Battalion headed by Chi Lie. From the beginning to the end, the Brave Soldiers Battalion had only ninety-nine people. During the massive expansion of Prince Yi's Mansion, the Brave Soldiers Battalion fought in many battles, from the Demon Realm Pass, to the Niangzi Pass, to the Black Water Pass, and even to the foot of Hanshan City. They were almost always there.

They fought fiercely, fearlessly and without fear of death, and made great military achievements, so they deserved the name of the Fierce Soldiers Battalion.

After that came Li Yan’s servant vanguard battalion. Although they still had the word “servant” in their name, after a series of battles, they had been accepted by the Yi Wang Mansion. Basically no one mentioned these two words anymore, and they all called it the “vanguard battalion”. The total strength of the battalion was nearly 50,000.

Then there is the Military Office of the Shen Ce Palace. After Mao Wenhuan led an army of tens of thousands including Ye Xiangtian to besiege and kill him at the foot of Kongtong Mountain, it was completely integrated into the Yi Wang Palace, with a force of 50,000.

Although Lu Fan's Five Elements Flag was newly formed, it was formed based on the Blood Robe Guards. Its military strength has long exceeded 50,000. Moreover, under the control of Lu Fan's iron bloodline, each of them is bloodthirsty, murderous, and extremely cruel. Therefore, they are somewhat isolated in the Prince Yi's Palace.

Then came the army headed by Yang Liujiao from the Bingzhou Yang Clan. This army, which followed the Bailing Ye Clan and the secular sects to the Western Frontier, originally had 300,000 troops. Although some of them were diluted by Jiang Yi and transferred to other troops, there were still nearly 150,000 troops.

It can be said that this is the largest troop in the Prince Yi's Palace. Inspired by the loyalty and bravery of the Yang family, Jiang Yi named it "Zhonglie Camp", and Yang Liujiao is still the commander.

In the series of battles to capture two passes and one city in the western border, like the Hanzu Camp, the Zhonglie Camp fought all the way from outside Niangzi Pass to the city of Hanshan, showing great bravery.

The last ones were the Eight Banners of Khorhan and the Eight Banners of Heishui. The Yellow Bordered, Blue Bordered and White Bordered Banners among the Eight Banners of Khorhan served as the vanguard of this expedition to Hanshan City. They fought bravely with the Khorhan cavalry and frightened the Dog-Shiring Dynasty.

As the Black Water Eight Banners had just been formed, they had not caught up with the previous series of wars. Therefore, Bai Ling was the most nervous and anxious person in the entire royal tent.

Because he understood that if the Heishui Eight Banners wanted to gain a foothold in the Prince Yi's Palace, they had to show their loyalty.

Hanshan City is the opportunity for the Black Water Eight Banners. Whether the Black Water Eight Banners can be completely integrated into the Prince Yi's Palace depends on this battle.
