Chapter 1274 – Six Countries Destroyed, Four Oceans Under One
On the 24th day of the month, the four armies of Great Xia proceeded toward the capital of the Mongol Empire - Karakorum. Looking at how aggressive they were, they were determined to end the Mongol Empire before winter.
The truth was exactly that.
27th day, Guo Ziyi led the Phoenix legion corps to engage Chagatai's forces once more. This time, Guo Ziyi did not give him any chance and totally destroyed his forces.
Even Chagatai himself died in battle.
At this point, a prince and two generals from the Mongol Empire had died, and the defenses on the east of the empire had been totally broken down.
When Tolei learned of the death of his second brother, he ignored Genghis Khan's attempts to stop him and personally led troops out of Karakorum to fight the Phoenix legion corps. He wanted to take revenge for his brother.
The result was really cruel.
12th month, 2nd day, Tolei's forces suffered a combined ambush by the Phoenix and Beijiang legion corps, suffering heavy casualties.
Tolei himself was badly hurt, and he only managed to charge out of the encirclement thanks to the protection of his Personal Guards. Helplessly, before he was able to return to Karakorum, he died from his injuries due to the failed attempts at treating him.
12th month, 5th day, Jochi's troops that were going toward Karakorum were surrounded by the Hedong and Eagle legion corps. Jochi did not even manage to breakout and was slain by Eagle Legion corps general Xiahou Yuan.
Mongol Empire, all lines crushed.
After he learned about Tolei's death, Genghis Khan could not take it anymore. He laid on his bed and rested, suffering from a great illness. When news of Jochi dying came, Genghis Khan spat out blood and entered a coma.
Karakorum instantly entered a state of chaos.
The faction that supported surrendering held the advantage, especially the Mongol nobles that were corrupted and influenced by goods from the mid plans. If Karakorum did not have the Personal Guards of Genghis Khan there, the chaos would have been even worse.
12th month, 6th day, Genghis Khan who barely woke up could not take the successive deaths of his sons and other family members. In the dead of night, he killed himself.
The moment news of his death spread out, Karakorum was thrown into total chaos.
When Ouyang Shuo received the news of Genghis Khan killing himself, he ordered the Eagle and Hedong legion corps to stop their advance toward Karakorum. Instead, they were to go west to wipe out the other small forces on the grassland.
The Phoenix and Beijiang legion corps were enough to take down Karakorum.
12th month, 10th day, the Phoenix legion corps and Beijiang legion corps engaged with Genghis Khan's personal troops, killing 90 thousand of them, wiping out the last bit of pride of the Mongol Empire.
That battle was the most intense one.
The Mongol cavalry were not good at defending cities. After the death of Genghis Khan, they were like a bunch of crazy people. They only wanted to fight to the death, not bothering about their lives.
Facing such a crazy army, Guo Ziyi's army was really calm. They used the rashness of the enemy to wipe them out step by step like a surgeon.
Through this battle, Guo Ziyi's name spread through the land.
The war of Mongolia saw Chen Yucheng get famous in one battle. Guo Ziyi went one step further than that. He led the Phoenix legion corps to destroy Chagatai's forces, killed Tolei's troops, and crushed Genghis Khan's personal army. He achieved victory in three out of three battles.
The name of Guo Ziyi stunned the entire Mongol grassland and made the Mongolians terrified.
...
From the 11th month, 13th day, the Mongol Empire declared war until the 12th month, 11th day. On that day, Karakorum was occupied by the Phoenix legion corps. Less than a month had passed since the start of the war. The Mongol Empire that looked strong totally became a thing of the past.
The moment news of this spread out, the entire Asia was shocked.
For example, the Persian Empire that had crossed swords with the Mongol Empire were filled with fear. They could not imagine how the courageous Mongol iron cavalry would be so weak in front of the Great Xia Army.
The Asia Continent once again felt the strength of the Great Xia Army.
Unstoppable!
The current Great Xia was showing signs of becoming the Overlord of Asia and was about to take flight.
...
Along with the fall of Karakorum, the Mongolians were finally afraid and lost all their fighting spirit.
Blood was hot, but it would cool down in the end.
In a short month, 350 thousand Mongol Empire soldiers had died, nearly half. The entire Mongolian grassland was dyed in blood.
Many bald eagles circled above the grassland, enjoying this hard to come by feast.
The Mongolians who had lost their loved ones dejectedly rushed to the various battlefields to collect the bodies of their sons, brothers, and even fathers to bury them.
On the battlefield, their cries filled the air.
