Realm of Power

The white water line is as cold as the top of the sheepskin felt of the prairie people. The water washed on the ground has accumulated for a long time, forming large and small potholes. When a horse's hoof goes down, there is a deep pit, which is filled with rainwater. It makes the atmosphere of defeat even more desolate,

There are still many corpses that have not been completely cleaned up in the camp. They can't tell the difference between friend and foe. They are whitened by the rain. The remains of short swords and armor are everywhere. Broken hands and feet can be seen in the red soil. Only the Empire in the central military tent. The eagle flag and the three-starred moon flag of Dongting were swaying in the rain. ￠￡

The fat man stopped the horse violently, his face turned livid. He had to stop. He originally wanted to scold him, but he couldn't say anything at the moment. The rain soaked his armor, but he couldn't. His eyes were as bright as stars at this moment,

In front of him, the three East Court captains who used to ride their horses high-spiritedly and always try to please him with some tricks on horseback were now kneeling on the muddy ground with their heads lowered and shame on their faces. In the quagmire, the rain hitting them turned into a layer of rain and mist and exploded. Behind them, there were tens of thousands of Dongting cavalry groups kneeling in neat rows of heads.

"What happened in last night's battle?"

The fat man's face was ashen as he coiled his riding whip. The aura emanating from his body made the air between heaven and earth seem to pause. Ruitang Tingna's unauthorized actions led to the disruption of the entire military operation of the empire. Mo Mo, who should have been exhausted from the long battle, The Philippine army had no choice but to continue to follow them forward.

Twenty thousand people rushed forward for two hundred miles in one breath. Even Murphy's army was exhausted and collapsed. There were more than three thousand stragglers who were separated along the way, and the empire's front line was like an elongated army. Noodles, an army of more than 100,000 people, only left the Yue Valley on the back road, the middle road was still being repaired at Tianlang Mansion, and the front road had already reached the gate of Onnacuo swamp, which was a full three hundred miles away, and Ruitang Tingna was encamped. More than 20,000 people were lost overnight, plus the battle losses of Murphy's army, the empire has lost a quarter of its troops, and the battle hasn't even started yet! The losses exceeded his total losses on the Feishan battlefield.

It would be fine if this was in a general urban area. The army spreads out in one word, and there are still points of support. But here is a vast wilderness, a battlefield where cavalry groups move across the battlefield. The army has drawn such a long march line, and it is also difficult for the army to move forward. Ting Leijun didn't think about this.

Otherwise, with the mobility of the Dongting cavalry and their familiarity with the environment of this area, harassment can be enough to make the emperor's troops unable to advance eastward. Hundreds of thousands of emperor's troops may seem like a lot, but if they are spread over such a vast area, In the wilderness, unless the Dongting Lei Army is willing to fight with themselves, they will be trapped here. The empire has spent countless efforts and layouts. It took more than half a year to accumulate supplies and mobilize military forces, but it was probably in vain because of this mistake. Even if she is her own woman, Ruitang Tingna cannot continue to indulge her this time, if this continues. Why fight?

"Why, no one answered? Or my Dongting has reached the point where no one dares to answer!"

The fat man held the twisted riding whip tightly with his fingers, and his sharp eyes swept across the Dongting Army. Tens of thousands of people in the East Court Army bowed their heads under the gaze and held their breaths. Last night's tragic defeat made the always proud East Court warriors fall into a depression. It seemed that they had lost most of their souls. Ever since they surrendered to the empire, those soldiers in the East Courtyard had How could there ever be such a disastrous defeat without a brilliant victory?

"It seems that you are really..." The fat man took a deep breath with a disappointed look on his face, smashed his riding crop on the ground angrily, and asked angrily, "Since no one dares to answer, then answer me, Is that woman dead? "

"King Khan, this battle is due to my incompetence, Usulitai, and has nothing to do with His Highness!" The body of a captain of ten thousand men in the East Courtyard trembled slightly, a trace of determination flashed on his face, and regardless of it, his head was smashed under the fat man's horse hoof. , mud and water splashed everywhere. Seeing him like this, several other ministers expressed their shameful expressions.

"Last night's battle was entirely due to the enemy being too cunning. Everyone saw that even if the enemy cavalry advanced to twenty meters away from the central army, Her Royal Highness still stood proudly under the battle flag without retreating even a step. If it hadn't been like this , no one can hold on at all, and at this moment, not one of them is left alive by the enemies who have set foot in the camp."

"Finally, I haven't thrown away my most important responsibility. Otherwise, I will be really disappointed in you."

When the fat man heard this, he snorted sternly, jumped off his horse, walked towards the Chinese army tent, and said to himself, "How many times have we won, do we really think that all enemies are made of paper? Just here." Kneel down here and let the rain cool your heads. The souls of those who died last night are still in this rain! If you have the heart, just listen to their voices! What else do I need from you!"

"Isn't this a bit much?"

Murphy O'Brien, who was next to him, was frightened by such a scene. He had been stationed outside the long wall for so long. How could he not know how unruly and unruly these tribal men from the grassland were, and how straightforward and hospitable they were to their own people? , Treating the enemy has always been as cruel as the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. The Dongting Cavalry is definitely a ghost-like existence in the Imperial Army. Wherever it passed in the past, there were countless corpses. Even within the Imperial Army, they secretly called it "East Court Riot Army\

,"But this violent army actually lowered its head in front of one person. He was originally worried that after the Dongting Army suffered a disastrous defeat, they would be afraid of punishment and the whole army would mutiny, but now it seems that it is completely impossible. , in the eyes of these grassland people, that man is the master of this world. Let alone mutiny, even if they are asked to die, someone may wipe their necks without hesitation.

He originally wanted to find an opportunity to say a few good words to the people of Dongting. After all, they are all helping each other outside the long wall. It can give people in Dongting a good impression, and it will only have advantages and no disadvantages for his development outside the long wall. But seeing the murderous look on His Majesty Falcon's face, His face was overflowing. I don’t know why. Murphy O’Brien opened his mouth, but couldn’t speak. The domineering attitude of this fat man even made him unknowingly shocked. When he saw the fat man walking in After entering the central military tent, Murphy O'Brien also got off his horse.

Inside should be Ruitang Tingna, the eldest princess of the Dongting people. When the couple met, he naturally did not dare to follow her in. He glanced around and saw a captain of ten thousand people in the Dongting who was relatively familiar to him, and walked over cautiously.

"Master Timuder, what happened last night?" Murphy O'Brien whispered and wanted to ask what happened last night.

"Mr. Murphy, as a defeated general, it is not an exaggeration to execute him. As for last night's battle... I have nothing to say. I only know that if the eldest princess is punished, we will really have no hope of revenge. ! "The captain of the East Courtyard named Timuder. After saying this in a cold voice, he closed his eyes.

This is the main person in charge of establishing a stronghold outside the long wall in Dongting. Murphy O'Brien has contributed a lot, and the two of them are familiar with each other. However, at this moment, the famous Timuder has a full head. His face was covered with mud and water, and he looked like a demon in the mud. He was forty years old, and he looked like he had seen him in the past. Wearing an armored black hat and a large armor with thick fur, more than a dozen prairie Masa servants were shouting in front of and behind each other, and it was like a sharp prairie wind blowing on their horses. When I opened my eyes again, they were frighteningly red, as if there was blood flowing from them.

Tens of thousands of Dongting people knelt on the ground outside the Chinese military tent.

Inside the tent, the fat man didn't know what to do. He was thinking of taking this woman back and locking her up for a while. But he looked at the white cloth in front of him that wrapped most of his arms, with blood still seeping out, and the graceful body kneeling naked in front of him in the cold wind and rain.

The fat man's lips trembled a few times, and he couldn't hit him with his big raised hand. How could he hit him? This woman was injured and frozen, and there was a cold wind blowing all night last night. She probably lost most of her life. She wouldn't die immediately after being slapped? But it's not appropriate to call people in now, and I don't even wear a single piece of clothing. Isn't this a scam? People who don't know really think that they are so cold-blooded that they will freeze the eldest princess to death to vent their anger. Although it is true that he is a murderous tyrant outside, killing his own woman is really touching. You've reached your bottom line,

"Nonsense, if you really want to die, don't wait until I come! Who are you showing off to?" The fat man angrily pulled Ruitang Tingla, who was already trembling from the cold, with a face as miserable as paper, and who was in a semi-conscious state. Throw it on the cotton bed in the tent, find a brazier in the tent and light it, letting the light and heat dispel the cold that makes your blood freeze in the tent.

When I was adding firewood, a cold voice came from behind me, "After all, you are still reluctant to let me die. I thought death was my final outcome!"

"Death? Do you really want to die that much?" The fat man turned around

"How many times have I dreamed of dying in your arms, but I know that it was just a dream, and I am not qualified to die in your arms." Ruitang Tingna opened her moon-like eyes, her tone of voice was rarely calm. He sighed, his tone was euphemistic and miserable, as cold as a willow tree in the wind, full of a bitter smile, all the strength of a daughter in troubled times seemed to be about to completely collapse if she persisted until this moment. His face was so pale that it was almost transparent, but his lips were bleeding. Looking at the fat man's face, he opened his lips lightly and said

"The secret order of the emperor's execution belongs to me, right? If the empire defeats Dongting this time and captures 500 Lianacuo, according to your past methods of coaxing, you will definitely be able to make most of the Dongting tribe obey me. If this place is divided, then I will no longer have any value."

"Twenty-eight thousand people died in the battle, and everyone else was injured. The strength accumulated after so many years of hard work, and the last glimmer of hope for the restoration of the Dongting Dynasty were all blown away by the wind and rain last night. Last night The battle was the last trace of affection between the various tribes and me. Now that we are clean, from now on, the title of eldest princess will be an arrogant laughing stock. I have no value. Why do you still want to save me? Let Isn’t it good for me to die here?”

"Just because of this, you sent troops without permission?" The fat man looked stunned, hesitated, and said coldly, "I never thought about killing you, just like I told you at the beginning, if I marry you, will I be the same as Dongting with you?" It doesn’t have much to do with being the eldest princess. It’s just that under the circumstances, marrying you can save you from killing a lot of people, that’s all!”

"Not to mention tens of thousands of people outside kneeling in the rain to plead for you, how could I let you die!"

The fat man wanted to say this, but he glared at Ruitang Tingna's blood-stained arm. The stubborn and cold aura between his eyebrows was just like the face of the past. The calculation was really obvious at a glance. The woman who could see through it, this time, really showed her intention to die. The fat man doubted that as soon as he said these words, this woman would kill herself!

"Do you really think so?" Rui Tangtingna pursed her lips and was shocked.

"If you lose the battle, you will die, and you still have the nerve to lick yourself and say that you are some kind of princess of the East Court. It's embarrassing!" The fat man finally slapped Ruitang Tingna on her white buttocks. This woman who has been riding horses all year round has a butt that is not enough. In addition to being smooth, the elasticity is absolutely first-class.

"You!" Ruitang Tingna gritted her teeth in pain, turned her eyes, and showed an expression of hard thinking, as if she was using all her strength to figure out what this meant.

"You are considered a smart person, but why can't you figure it out!" The fat man said in a very depressed tone. "Where is that woman who dared to run to me alone, an enemy who destroyed a country and destroyed a city, with a look of contempt on her face?" Didn’t you voluntarily marry me, my father-killing enemy, just to let more people survive?”

"Look at what you have done in the past few years?"

"If you really can't figure it out, then wait for me to leave and quickly wipe your neck with a knife. Don't hurt me, my butt is almost broken. I drove more than two hundred miles in one breath. Just seeing this scene, at most I Then push all the remaining 20,000 people to the front lines and die! Even if you die, you will die. Anyway, no one will die in a war. I have seen too many dead heads. I killed 300,000 people in Feishan in one go. I can give it to that old guy. Buried with me, this time, if you want to seek your own death, I will pretend that you can’t see it!”

After the words fell, the fat man opened the tent and came out. Behind him, Ruitang Tingna opened a pair of big red eyes, tears bursting out of her eyes. She wanted to struggle to get up, but she lost her footing and knelt on the ground. She could only watch the fat man open the tent. The majestic figure walking out from behind the curtain,

This time she really planned to die. The Dongting Army suffered unprecedented heavy losses, and her prestige in the tribe had dropped below freezing point.

There is no hope for the restoration of the country in Dongting. The tragic death of more than 20,000 soldiers makes her not know how to return to the tribe. This unauthorized attack has touched the man's bottom line. The chance of survival is too slim. She has been They all believe that no matter how much this man pampers himself, he still has the heart of an emperor in his body. My life and death have long been determined by this man's step-by-step calculations. Rather than withering like a plaything in the hands of a ruthless emperor, I just hope that I can make one last effort and use Dongting's own power to defeat the five hundred Leonatos and pull out this... The first battle between the sub-empire and Dongting was a great success, but unexpectedly, the result was a disastrous defeat!

Outside the tent, the sound of rain poured down like a pour. Tens of thousands of Dongting troops knelt neatly in the rain mixed with blood and stumps. Their armor was clanking and they were shouting silently. It seemed that there was only the sound of rain in the sky and the earth. This was the sound of the soul (to be completed).
