Realm of Power

The battle situation in the Northland gradually became clear with the defeat of the main force of the Northland Army. After a short rest, Fatty ordered the army to march towards the base camp of the Asuos in the Northland.

With almost no resistance, the forwards of the Central Army occupied the old site of Hulanbei City. After receiving this news, Fatty decided to go and see for himself this central city of great significance in the northern cold region. Accompanied by Ruitang Tingna, Next, the fat man galloped his horse to the top of the hillside outside the city, reined in his horse and stopped. Two Samor swords were hung crosswise on his back, extending diagonally from behind his shoulders to the left and right.

Coupled with his majestic figure, cold face and long black hair, sitting on a majestic horse, he really has an arrogant and overbearing aura that dominates the earth. )

Ruitang Tingna, the princess of the East Court, followed closely behind, galloping up the hillside and came to his horse.

She tied her hair into dozens of braids and let them hang freely down her shoulders and back, highlighting her slender neck and her beautiful silhouette. Coupled with her moving figure, she stood side by side with the fat man, a hero. Beauty, complementing each other, more than 20 battle-experienced guards scattered in all directions, monitoring the movements far and near.

On the land in the distance, an awe-inspiring city lies in the middle of the wilderness below. The earth is white, and several hundred-meter-long mounds covering the protrusions outside the city suddenly come into view. The pure white snow makes everything that happened here come into view. Everything is ugly and purified.

"I heard that at the end of the war that day, the Asuos buried more than 60,000 people from the Dika tribe in these deep pits outside the city. I don't know if that's true."

The fat man's eyes were shining brightly, and he glanced condescendingly at the former center of the area. The sound of thousands of soldiers and horses killing each other seemed to ring in his ears, shaking through the clouds and nights. He recalled in his mind the time when the Dika people burned the city in despair. His miserable and desperate face.

"Let's go down and have a look." The fat man raised his riding whip and jumped off the horse alone. Ruitang Tingna and the guards quickly followed, and the horse's hoofs raised a burst of white on the ground. Crossing the nearly half-collapsed suspension bridge outside the city, the heavy sound of hooves sounded again in this almost ghostly city.

Walking in this city that was almost half in ruins, a look of disappointment flashed in the fat man's eyes. The once prosperous area now only has stained black scorched walls. Light red blood stains spattered on these ruined walls in large areas. There are miserable ruins everywhere. The cold wind blows through them like ghosts.

Although more than a month had passed, the tragic scene in front of him still allowed Fatty to imagine the bloody battle that took place here that day. More than 60,000 Dika people fought desperately with the Northland Allied Forces in this city. Facing the Asuor people who were far more powerful than themselves, the Dika tribe finally made their last unyielding cry by burning the city in flames.

Their shrill cries seemed like the cold wind blowing through the ruins, lingering nearby forever.

"This city used to be the historical and cultural center of this region for hundreds of years. After 11 generations of Sanbu adults, the largest population reached 70,000 people. In the Hulanbei area with a total population of only about 300,000 people. It is definitely considered It is second to none, but now..." Rui Tangtingna said with emotion.

"The damage caused by that war to Hulanbei City was extremely terrible. Take the street piled with rubble and rubble in front of you as an example. This was once one of the two main streets in the city. It was made of solid granite strips. The stones were all collected from Mount Hermes, a hundred miles away. The streets about 8 meters wide were enough for four horses to walk side by side. In order to build this city, the Northlanders spent nearly a hundred years, but they destroyed it. But it only takes one night, which is really ironic to say."

"Yes, this city has been ruined. Whether in the hearts of Northlanders or in reality, this city can no longer become the new center of Northland."

The fat man nodded in agreement, and with some regret stopped his horse in front of the city hall that collapsed into ruins.

A pile of random stones blocked the steps leading to the hall, and two huge stone pillars were leaning against the door, looking like they were in danger of falling down at any time.

As Ruitang Tingna said, if a new ruling center is still built here, its significance will not be the same as before, but it will feel a bit cumbersome.

"If your Majesty is looking for a new center of the North, I have a good suggestion." Ruitang Tingna smiled on her pretty face, raised the whip in her hand, and pointed to the northern sky. "It's like the ruins in front of you. Compared to Hulanbei, I identify more with the Besu capital city of the Besu people.

"Oh? Why do you think so?" The fat man looked slightly stunned, then he remembered that Ruitang Tingna, as the eldest princess of Dongting who once controlled the North, knew more about the North than she did.

Ruitang Tingna showed a smile that was as bright as the bright moon and said, "Your Majesty may not know that for the people of the North, Hulanbei and the capital of Beisu in the north are the support of their Northland spirit and culture, and from the geographical location In other words, Hulanbei City needs to go deep into the hinterland, while Beisu City is located closer to the area we control.

Moreover, although the Besudu people have a certain degree of strength, they have always adopted an elder system. The power of the clan leader is greatly restricted. They are more conservative than aggressive. Moreover, I heard that the clan leaders of this term are still underage. Now the main force of the Northern Army has been defeated. , It is still difficult for the Besudu people to protect themselves. As long as we promise to provide them with certain rights and interests, they will obediently obey our commands and become our agents in the North."

"What you said makes sense, but..." The fat man was silent for a while, then he raised his head and looked at Ruitang Tingna with great interest. His eyes were like lightning, and he caught the way Rui Tangtinga looked away and stared at him.

Ruitang Tingna's delicate body trembled slightly when he saw her, and she unconsciously avoided his eyes and lowered her head. The fat man was also shocked because it was the first time he saw this beautiful woman's shy look.

When he unexpectedly looked into her beautiful eyes and saw her ecstatic thoughts, it was like he had cut her heart open and grasped her sincerity.

It's not that he hasn't considered the possibility of winning over the Besu people, but considering the Dongting people's feelings of defeat in the Besu capital, he never mentioned it. Unexpectedly, Ruitang Tingna actually said it herself.

The fat man smiled meaningfully and said, "The Besudu people have just severely damaged the Xi clan in Dongting. Aren't you afraid that the Xi clan leaders will be dissatisfied with you because of this?"

Ruitang Tingna's ears turned red, and she said sternly, "They don't have the guts to complain about me. After all, I am still the eldest princess in name only. The Xi tribe was defeated under the Beisu capital city, and I did not take the initiative to hold them accountable." They are already very happy if they take responsibility, yet they still dare to blame me for this.”

Ruitang Tingna said with great certainty, "And it is Your Majesty who supports this matter. Even if the Xi tribe has just suffered a heavy blow, they will never dare to complain. Moreover, Your Majesty has given them a chance to make a crime and meritorious service this time. As long as they sneak attack on Asu The Russian stronghold has been won, and with the large amount of loot, they will no longer complain to His Majesty."

"This is the only thing we can do now," the fat man said secretly in his heart. The mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole is behind. Thinking about the Dongting tribe in chaos, I feel a headache.

The fat man said calmly, "Let's go back to the camp. I don't know why, but I suddenly want to leave this place. It's best to never come back, because soon in the face of the interests of all parties, the conflicts among the various departments in Dongting will also arise." Because the loot this time is even more intense, there is no other choice.

"This is the path they chose. No matter what lies ahead, they should bear it themselves." Ruitang Tingna gave him a look that made his heart beat. Then she flipped over from the back of her horse to the fat man's horse, and nestled her delicate body into his arms. inside.

The fat man naturally freed up one arm to hug her tightly. Ruitang Tingna groaned, closed her pretty eyes, her whole body was soft and weak. The fat man pressed his hand on her lower abdomen, which had no extra fat. He felt like he was embracing a ball of flames, and controlled the reins with his other hand to gallop down the long slope, with the horse at his hip chasing behind him in a sensible manner.

"Your Majesty, the latest military report." A Guards Cavalry galloped over, rolled down in front of the fat man's horse, handed a military report with both hands, and said, "The Western Army of Dongting was ordered to attack the Asuo people's base camp at night last night. After a night of fierce fighting, the Asuo guards have been defeated and more than 10,000 heads have been captured, and tens of thousands of Asuo prisoners are now being driven back."

"The Xi Clan succeeded." The fat man took the battle report, glanced over it, with a happy look on his face, handed the battle report to Ruitang Tingna in his arms, and said, "The Xi Clan really lived up to their expectations, this time the Asu'o tribe is finished."

"After this battle, although the Asu'o tribe was not completely wiped out, there was absolutely no chance for the Asu'o tribe to recover. According to the habits of our Dongting people, except for women, all the captives who were taller than a wheel were All men have to be killed. Only in this way can we say we are relieved." Ruitang Tingna read the battle report with a serious expression, then handed the battle report to the fat man and said with a faint expression.

"A hero like Asu'o must not be left with a little room for development. Your Majesty sent the Xi tribe to carry out this task. I'm afraid you also have this intention."

"Haha, I can't hide anything from you." The fat man laughed, and pinched Rui Tangtingna's tight buttocks with his hands. Rui Tangtingna groaned lowly, her face suddenly turned crimson, and her head was buried in The fat man’s chest never refused to lift up again

Three days later, the Central Army and Ruitang Tingna's Dongting Army formed a joint army and headed north to the capital of Besu. Fatty and Ruitang Tina walked side by side in the wilderness outside the capital of Beisu.

The city in front of us is not a huge one. It has already been surrounded by the United Legion. On the city wall, there are still the fragments left by the last fierce attack. The Besu people, like frightened birds, hide behind the dilapidated battlements and peek their heads. The falcon flags below the city are flying. , groups of Falcon Central Army, arrayed in the wilderness outside the city under the fearful eyes of the Besu people,

On one side is the 20,000-strong Falcon Central Army with a forest of spears, and on the other side is the 8,000 Dongting Cavalry with well-organized war horses. In front of the square formation, the iconic battle flag representing Asuo himself was also held high by the soldiers. The spear is hung on a five-meter stabbing gun,

The sharp spear point penetrated from one end of the battle flag, and then pierced out from the other end of the battle flag. The battle flag full of holes was blown in the crackling cold wind, and the Asuo battle flag was almost broken into strips of cloth. He was flying around, looking so out of place with the orderly military formation behind him, like a clown standing in front of everyone and looking ridiculous.

But the Besu people on the city wall couldn't laugh. They stared roundly at the battle flag that once represented Asuo's glory. Their heavy breathing was like a broken windmill. Everyone All eyes are on the battle flag of Asuo

"No, this is impossible. Master Sanbu will never fail." A Besu soldier shouted in disbelief with a pale face. Like him, many Besu people were unwilling to believe the fact that Asuo had been defeated. , until the Falcon Army under the city also hung Asuo’s unique red armor, there was a sudden silence on the city top.

The news of Asu'o's defeat was like a hurricane blowing through the hearts of the defenders on the city. As a great hero in the hearts of the people of the North, Asu'o had already been given too much support.

The hero who resisted the Dongting people. The undefeated God of War, the wise Lord of the Three Tribes, the marriage partner of the Beisu tribe, the last time the Western Army attacked the city in Dongting. The reason why the Besu people refused to surrender was because they firmly believed that Asu'o would personally lead the army to rescue them. But now, looking at Asu'o's own battle flag, which had almost turned into rags during the fierce battle, it was hard to find it. The Besudu people who persisted were a little shaken.

At the critical moment, Besu Kaya, the princess of the Besu tribe, came to the front line in person, and her childish voice revealed firm confidence. He said, "Don't be fooled, that battle flag and armor are all fake."

Just when everyone was shaken, a Falcon officer holding a white flag rode up to the city from the opposite side. He raised his head, threw a paper roll in his hand towards the city wall, and then dropped it 20 meters away from the city wall. He stopped at the right place and shouted loudly to the city wall, "I am the envoy of the Falcon Empire. I represent the Supreme Falcon. I request to discuss the surrender with you."

"Surrender? Are you kidding? We Besu people have never had a record of surrender." Although Besu Kaya was very scared, the Besu people were also famous for their stubbornness. She ordered the archers to draw their bows on the city wall. Shooting at the approaching Falcon officer, the Falcon officer can only choose to retreat.

The fat man standing behind the military formation narrowed his eyes slightly. This situation had been expected for a long time. Since the Besu people dared to resist the ferocious Dongting Western Army with inferior troops, and almost dragged them to death here, it is enough to show that The Besu people are not the kind of people who surrender immediately when threatened.

"Order Thor to prepare." The fat man waved his hand to the messengers in the rear. This time he learned the lesson from the lack of suppressive weapons when he was attacked by surprise last time.

Considering that Besu City was also the most fortified city in the North, known as the Lost City of the North, Fatty ordered people to remove 30 direct-fire thunder gods from the fleet at the southeastern cape for use in this siege.

Although Fatty intends to persuade the Besu people to surrender, in the face of no absolute force to suppress them, all attempts to persuade them to surrender are a joke. In any case, strength is the first factor, and Fatty wants to prove it to the Besu people. It's not that I don't dare to fight, it's just that I don't want to destroy the entire city.

As the order was given, 30 Thor cannons lined up behind the military formation began to slowly raise their dark muzzles and began to rotate towards the head of the Besu capital city.

"Target 321 meters, height 47" the rangefinder accurately read out the shooting distance and elevation angle, and the Thor shooters began to make adjustments nervously and orderly. These naval direct-fire Thor cannons with smaller muzzles and longer barrels, It is less powerful than the Field Thor used by the Army, but has higher range and accuracy than the Field Thor.

Because as long as it targets warships with thick wooden decks, the penetrating power of the artillery shells is far stronger than the explosive power. However, according to the request of His Majesty Falcon, the artillery shells carried are mainly explosive shells that kill infantry. and incendiary bombs

The gunners of the Dragon-class battleships sent by the naval fleet were responsible for the Thor's shooting this time. They followed the order and began to load the gunpowder. Then they used tools to compress the gunpowder and loaded the Thor bomb. After everything was ready, they stood on the side of the queue. The officer raised his hand to where the fat man was, indicating that everything was ready

The cold wind blew through the open space between the two armies. The Falcon Central Army under the city began to prepare for the siege. Several siege towers built at odd hours were pushed up by the soldiers, standing there like several tall giants. The Dongting cavalry dismounted, holding cavalry bucklers and scimitars in their hands, preparing to attack another section of the city wall.

"Ready" The officer who commanded the Thor Cannon raised his head and drew a long sound from his mouth. The Thor Cannon shooters squatted skillfully in the shooting position. They tilted their heads neatly and focused on the officer's raised arm. , used to seeing the scenes of ships interlacing on the sea, suddenly seeing the majestic array of tens of thousands of army troops, these navy shooters couldn't help but feel a little excited

"Start attacking." The fat man uttered one word dullly. At the same time, the flag bearer standing behind him also dropped the flag in his hand. This was a signal to the Thor troops.

"Rumble, rumble" was a violent vibration that shook the ground. The volleys of 30 thunder gods shook the calm of the sky in an instant. A whole row of fires erupted from the location of the thunder gods in an orderly and rapid manner, and white smoke enveloped them instantly. He reached the mountainside where the Thunder God was located. Just when the Beisu people were still stunned at the top of the city, countless Thunder God shells trailing long black smoke tails were already crashing down with a roaring sound from a distance.

"Bah bang bang!" Countless red flames exploded on the city top like light shields one by one. In the explosion of red fire light, the Besu people were blown away by the strong shock wave, just like building blocks that were pushed hard. bumping into each other,

Flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the rubble splattered in all directions made the Besu people fall to the ground. The red flames spread on the city wall in the wind.

The Beisu people were burned so much that they cried for their fathers and mothers, and miserable howls came one after another.

Besu Kaya, the princess of the Besu tribe, was completely frightened by the scene in front of her. She had seen too much blood and death, but she never expected that the enemy opposite had such terrifying weapons. She was only separated by a few seconds. A hundred meters away, this place has turned into a flaming hell.

The drumming of Dongting people's war drums was heard outside the city, and the entire row of central troops with their spears raised began to advance towards the city wall. The army is pressing down on the city. To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
