Realm of Power

The carriage crossed a slope in front, and a larger camp appeared in front. After a burst of trombone sound that filled the sky, a long black line appeared in front, like black clouds of black armor, and a battle flag stood solemnly in the blue sky. , a larger camp appeared in front of Xu Dongli,

After just one glance, Xu Dongli felt dazzled.

There were countless tents in the densely packed military camp. Teams of cavalry lined up outside the military camp. In front of the camp stood hundreds of targets with red hearts painted on them. A group of black-armored cavalry flew past the target. Holding the compound bow flatly, the white lines drew a graceful arc and fell toward the target. Go, "Pap-Pap-Pap" arrow clusters instantly turned the target position into a hornet's nest. After one group of cavalry, another group of cavalry quickly caught up, like a huge circle, one group followed the other in front, arrow clusters Like a swarm of locusts rising from the horizon, they continue to fall towards the target position.

Xu Dongli and Gongsun Liang looked at the clusters of arrows shot from the hands of the running cavalry and shot them densely at the target a hundred meters away. Their jaws almost dropped when they saw it. Gongsun Liang, who was sitting next to him, had already screamed in horror, " Mounted shooting! It’s the prairie people’s mounted shooting!”

"Yes, it is the most terrifying wheel of the prairie cavalry!"

Xu Dongli's face was pale, his fists were clenched, and ten white fingers dug into his flesh, causing a heartbreaking pain. The pupils of his eyes shrank to a point, and his face was as ugly as ever. What was in front of him was The sight triggered the most horrific memories in his mind,

It was July last year. The setting sun was like blood in the Lili Grassland. There were no clouds in the sky. The green grass moved with the wind. It was full of tranquility and peace. Xu Dongli picked up a handful of water by a small river. Countless Central Asian soldiers are setting up camps nearby. As an imperial forger, Xu Dongli entered the grasslands with the Imperial Third Army to fight. He has been wandering among the grassland people for seven days. If the grassland people's troops can no longer be found, the army will rush back. The original starting point.

Looking at the beautiful grassland, the atmosphere in the military camp seemed very relaxed. Everyone thought that no one would come to the grassland. At night, the weather in the grassland would become very bad, and there would not only be storms tearing apart like giant dragons. There are also hungry wolves. These wolves are very courageous and not afraid of people. Their green eyes make people feel scared when they see them. They are generally not crazy. I would not choose to sneak attack at night, because the howling of wolves is enough to make the sneak attack fail.

Just then, the prairie people came, like a long black line with billowing dust,

"Quick, prepare for battle! Hurry up if you don't want to be shot into a hornet's nest!"

The infantry captains who had just been ordering the soldiers to move supplies were shouting like crazy. They drew their swords and roughly drove the soldiers to set up defenses. The quiet peace was instantly dispersed by the sound of war horns. The soldiers pushed the carriages in a panic and picked up weapons from the weapons racks in the camp. The soldiers ran back and forth, and the carriages transported supplies. After being pushed out of the periphery, a defensive line of the vehicle frame was built, and baffles were attached to the wheel doors. Central and African infantrymen stood densely behind the truck, raising their long guns in their hands. Panting nervously, countless infantry bowstrings were also stretched out at this moment, "creeping" like taut thin wires being stretched infinitely. No one knows when this infinitely taut string will be stretched. The line will break. Everyone's nerves suddenly reached the extreme.

Xu Dongli gasped for air, the sound like a broken bellows sounded unpleasant, and there was a burning sting in his lungs, but Xu Dongli still felt lucky and ran back from the river 300 meters away in one breath. It is a life-threatening job for a senior forger with weak physical strength, not to mention the front cavalry of the prairie people, who are like The hungry wolf chased after it as if it were prey, and arrows with the sound of wind whizzed past his face. If it weren't for Jianpu's outstanding physical strength, he would have almost carried Xu Dongli, who was out of strength, and ran desperately for the last twenty meters. At this moment, Dongli was just like the more than a hundred unlucky guys who didn't come back, being killed one by one outside the military formation by the prairie people's sharp arrows.

"Okay, young master, we have escaped!" Jian Pu pulled him behind a carriage. The following group of Central and African troops numbered 40,000 people. The army was about to start a battle. In order to avoid being attacked, the army immediately The outer formation was closed, and ten thousand people were flying towards the opposite side. The 7,000-strong prairie left guard cavalry, this was a typical encounter. Facing the infantry group of the empire waiting in front, the galloping queue of the prairie people looked like this. After a high-pitched eagle cry, the scattered queue suddenly The scattered team is transformed into a circle team,

In the blink of an eye, dense arrow clusters came down like a violent storm. The 40,000-strong imperial infantry regiment was suppressed to the point where it was difficult to even move. The arrow clusters roared together, and the power simply changed the color of the world. Xu Dongli thought he was bold, He was so frightened that he curled up and hid behind a carriage. His ears were filled with the sound of arrows hitting the carriage's fender, just like heavy rain hitting the dry ground, and the pop-pop sound was like hitting him. In my heart, the screams of soldiers are endless.

The healthy servant who saved his life was just bold and curious to take a look. As soon as half of his head was exposed, he was shot through the eye socket by a flying arrow cluster. The arrow penetrated from the back of the servant's head, half of his head. They were all cut off, and the red and white brains seemed to have been overthrown. Like a wine glass, it all splashed onto Xu Dongli's frightened and pale face. Xu Dongli watched in disbelief as the servant's body fell heavily. In just a few seconds, countless arrow clusters fell on the body. The blood spurted out, and it was impossible to tell that he was still a complete person.

The soldiers fell in pieces under the dense rain of arrows, and the fenders of the chariot seemed to be falling apart after being shot by layers of arrows. The encounter lasted for half an hour. Maybe the grassland people found that they could not expand the results of the victory, and could only act like there was no such thing. The wolves that had eaten the plump lamb were unwilling to leave behind the beaten and frustrated Central and Bian infantry, and flew away as arrogantly as the whistling prairie wind. The rumble of horse hooves gradually became distant, and Xu Dong, with tears in his eyes, Li only dared to raise his head,

The terrifying sight of arrow clusters on the ground in front of him shocked Xu Dongli from the inside out. It was like white snow covering the ground. Those were the tail feathers at the tail of the arrow clusters. That encounter was reported as a great victory! Although Xu Dongli didn't see where Dajie was at all! Is it just because it was not annihilated? Half of the 40,000-man army fell in the encounter. If it had not been for seeing the tight formation of vehicles and the tenacious counterattack of the Central Asian archers, the prairie cavalry would not have retreated so easily. The prairie cavalry without arrows drew out their scimitars for close combat. They are also the most powerful assault cavalry. If the grassland cavalry just launched a mass attack, no one dares to say how many people would survive.

In addition to the battle losses of only 4,000 men, they repelled tens of thousands of grassland left guard cavalry. This is where the great victory was reported. The general who led the team resolutely concealed the fact that there were still 13,000 wounded soldiers, because there were more soldiers. He didn't even see the enemy's face clearly, so he stayed on that land forever, and the arrow wounds were infected. , out of the 13,000 wounded soldiers, only less than 5,000 returned alive. This was the grassland people's rotational shooting formation. In just half an hour, with a 1:4 disadvantage in strength, it severely damaged the Central Asians. It also made Xu Dongli, who was on the battlefield for the first time, see the terror of the grassland people.

It is said that in the largest royal court of the prairie people, there are as many as 200,000 cavalry troops who are good at rotation shooting. No one dares to believe that if it hadn't been for the unexpected death of King Dongting, which caused the three prairie princes to fall into chaos, what force would have been able to stop the northern prairie people's wheel-shooting iron cavalry!

"You are such a Central Asian who has never seen the world!"

The guards escorting the envoys rolled their eyes with disdain at the behavior of the Central Asians, which was just like a round of fire from the prairie cavalry. Is it necessary to act so surprised? The number of cavalry is only about 10,000.

The power of rotation shooting is only so much, and most of them are just showy. His Majesty Falcon has repeatedly asked the prairie people to improve the training of rotation shooting, but the prairie people still stubbornly maintain this simple training method. In the empire, there are fifty thousand people in the empire. The super sniper longbow formation training composed of infantry formations was a joke. Tens of thousands of the Empire's heavy crossbows were firing from 150 meters away. It was enough to turn the steppe assault cavalry who had not yet drawn the bowstring into a cold corpse filled with arrows.

"Come here, tell them I'm here!" The fat man stopped his horse, waved his hand to the guards behind him, and glanced at the cloud-like army in front.

The prairie people's camp occupied one third. The others are the battle flags of the Salon Army and the Central Army. The grassland flags representing various ethnic groups are fluttering in the wind outside the camp. The grassland people are born warriors. The tinkling sounds of craftsmen can be seen in the camp, and countless The tents were like a piece of white covering the vast plain in front of the southwest capital. The army camps were surrounding the plain, and the same number of circles spread out in all directions. This time, 50,000 troops were sent to the Xiting Grassland. As the first empire to receive the order to attack, The army also arrived the fastest,

"Woo"

The rapid blare of horns rang in the sky, and a group of clan chiefs wearing prairie costumes appeared at the gate of the camp. Seeing the fat man at the front of the black-armored cavalry coming from a distance, they all knelt down with joyful expressions, and the ones who were taking turns training The prairie cavalry also stopped, as if they had been hacked The waves opened, and as the fat man moved forward, countless prairie warriors on both sides also knelt on the ground, a mass of black heads. The prairie people showed the most solemn enthusiasm for the arrival of King Khan, shouting three times "Long live His Majesty King Khan!" The sound waves gathered by tens of thousands of people shook the heaven and earth.

"Everyone, get up!"

The fat man rode over, stopped his horse, and glanced at the prairie patriarchs who were kneeling on the ground ten meters away with their heads lowered. He raised his hands with satisfaction. After his own management, Xiting had completely surrendered to the empire, even if Duo Weiyan, who was at the front of the line of clan leaders, also had a respectful look on his face, not daring to go any further. The momentum of this grassland luck hero was firmly suppressed by him.

"Your Majesty, it seems that the leader of the Tripoli City Tribe, Teli Rashad, is not here!" The guard squadron leader accompanying the team suddenly whispered in the fat man's ear with a solemn face,

"Teli Rashad!" The fat man was surprised for a moment, and looked at the prairie chiefs who stood up again. Sure enough, he didn't see Teli Rashad. The fat man got off the horse with some displeasure, and handed over the riding whip in his hand. Duo Weiyan, who is at the front of the queue of clan leaders,

Duo Weiyan's face was filled with excitement, and the hand holding the riding whip was trembling with excitement. The other clan leaders looked envious. He was indeed the uncle of His Majesty King Khan. King Khan directly handed his riding whip to Duo Wei. Yan, this is called "whip generation" in the grassland. The whip has a special meaning in the grassland.

For prairie women, the riding whip is their most beloved thing. If they see the lover in their hearts, they will throw the riding whip to him. If the other party picks it up and sends it back, if it means something serious, the prairie woman will raise the riding whip and whip it hard. If a prairie man whips his whip, if the prairie man is not angry, it means that he has accepted the woman's wishes, but for prairie men, the whip represents power! King Khan's whip is used to drive the tribe! The person who can take over the whip can only be the person whom King Khan trusts the most. Under one person, above ten thousand people!

Fatty naturally knows this very well, because Ruitang Tingna, the eldest princess of the East Courtyard, worked hard to get Fatty's riding crop, but Fatty refused unceremoniously. That is a troublemaker who dares to open a dyeing workshop for only three points of color. woman. He can whip her elastic ass hard with a riding crop, so that she will always remember her man, but he will never be able to pass it into her slender fingers that are as soft as a newborn lamb. With a whip, this woman will definitely Dare to shake things up!

Duo Weiyan was different. This grassland hero wanted to tie his entire clan to the imperial chariot. Even if he takes over the riding whip, it will only be a show off in front of other clan leaders!

"Where's Trill Rashad? Why isn't he there?" the fat man asked as he walked.

"This..." Duo Weiyan followed the fat man, and the other clan leaders followed him. This is the power of the whip. He glanced at the fat man and then said, "This guy Teli Rashad is getting more and more... This is outrageous. Now he is not in the camp, but has gone to the city. He heard that Messi Jielin is not only a good dancer, but also extremely beautiful, so this guy took his people and clamored to go see it. Performed!"

"Performance? Doesn't the performance just start tonight? What kind of performance is he going to see in broad daylight!" The fat man snorted very displeasedly. "Since you said he brought his own people there, how many people were there specifically?"

"Seven clan leaders who joined him, and a bodyguard of 120 people!"

Duo Weiyan looked serious. In fact, I almost laughed out loud. The Teli City Clan is rising in the northern part of the Western Grassland and has already posed a threat to the Duowei Tribe. Last winter, the Teli City Clan even planned to rob their own grassland. During the marriage ceremony, Duowei Tribe Wei Yan was ready to attack this daring guy and use the power of the empire to eliminate this potential threat in one fell swoop, but no one expected that Fatty was not very interested in punishing the Teli City clan. He just lightly punished the Teli City clan's three thousand livestock.

"A guard of one hundred and twenty people! He dares to enter the city without receiving my order?" The fat man walked into the camp's main tent and asked angrily.

After arriving, he immediately issued an order to the Xiting cavalry troops who had arrived earlier, and the troops were not allowed to enter the city to camp. Nobles are not allowed to stay in the city overnight, and are not allowed to bring more than a hundred guards into the city. There is no way. The destructive power of the prairie people is obvious to all, and they have always been unhygienic. People and horses are mixed. Camping in the wild is nothing. Once you enter the city, then It's a disaster , the place where they are stationed must be full of horse dung, which smells bad. When people and horses drink water upstream, they throw everything into the water, and the downstream suffers. Moreover, the prairie people are fond of strong alcohol and will go crazy when they get drunk. Tribes will have conflicts with each other. It is commonplace to draw a sword and chop someone if they disagree.

"Teli City Shad is a very proud man, and he has always been independent in the northern part of the Western Grassland. This is not the first time he has disobeyed King Khan's order!" Duo Weiyan quickly took the opportunity to vomit his bitterness in the military tent and kept recounting How arrogant Trish Shad was, how he wanted to attack his subordinates' camps several times, how he clamored in public to restore the glory of the royal court,

As he listened, the fat man's eyebrows rose up. He knew very well what Duo Weiyan wanted to express. He wanted to directly say that Teli City Shad was a hidden danger to the empire. It was best to directly send troops to wipe out the entire Teli City family. Typical Want to borrow a knife to kill someone,

At this moment, a guard ran into the camp and reported, "Your Majesty, Teli City Shad, the patriarch of Teli City, wants to see you!" Duo Weiyan's face suddenly became a little embarrassed.

"Let him come in!" The fat man pretended not to see his uncle's face, and waved his hand to the guards. A strong man in a prairie robe, who looked like an iron tower, stepped into the military tent. When he saw the fat man, he quickly knelt on the ground. Said in a trembling voice "Great King Khan, your humble servant Telish Shad sends you greetings! Please also forgive Telish Shad's mistake. My subordinates didn't know that King Khan would arrive today, so they went to the city out of curiosity, but they haven't entered the city yet. A trumpet sound was heard at the door! "

"Get up, what are you doing in the city?" The fat man nodded. This strong man is Telishi Shad. His head almost hit the ground, and his whole body was covered with dust. It was obvious that he heard the greeting to King Khan. The sound of the trumpet hurried back,

"The young one is going to buy supplies! Lord Duoweiyan said that the army has run out of salt, so he sent the young man with the cavalry to the city to buy salt!" Shad from Telli City stood up with a respectful expression and said panting, his face There is no rebellious look at all.

His appearance is a typical broad face, large forehead, and two thick prairie people's hair buns on his head. The first impression given to people is that he is a bold and upright guy. In fact, in the prairie, Shad of Teli City Nicknamed "Angry Bear"

Not only because of his tall stature, but also because he is also a legendary figure in the northern part of the western prairie. He once killed seventy-two horse thieves by himself in a rage for a woman.

The horse thieves on the grassland are not comparable to the bandits in the interior. They are the remaining elites of some defeated tribes.

Carrying the hope of tribal revival, the small group before the tribal flag was re-raised was the grassland horse thieves. A small group with 72 grassland warriors can actually be regarded as a small tribe.

It is precisely because it is very famous that Fatty happened to hear Rui Tang Tingna mention the legend of the Western Grassland. Even the ruthless Rui Tang Tingna said that Telishi Shad was a rare true hero among the Western Court people. He never bullied weak tribes and would even receive the Dongting tribe, which was once an enemy, in a friendly manner. Rui Tang Tingna's tribe even established a trade line with the Telishi tribe.
