Realm of Power

What to do if it’s difficult? Archery! Ever since he realized that he had no talent at all in archery, Fatty had been obsessed with archery. He set up a grass target fifty meters away and roped in a group of Dongting's Hundred Cavalry Commander, Thousand Cavalry Commander, and Ten Thousand Cavalry Commanders who were known as the prairie masters. The captains of the cavalry all say that laymen only watch the excitement, while experts watch the door. With such a level that is unparalleled in the world, it is natural for me to find these real experts.

Boom, a white line shot out from the prairie compound bow in his hand, crossing a graceful arc and hitting the target fifty meters in front. It was a little off, just grazing the edge of the grass target, but it was powerful enough. , it was like it was cut open by something, and half of the target was torn apart at once. Countless grass clippings were thrown into the air as if they were hit by a hurricane. In addition to being beautiful and powerful, he is also a scumbag in archery, but Effect Extraordinary, the sound of the grass target exploding is like a drum beating in everyone's heart, "Your Majesty is mighty!" "Your Majesty is a great shooter!" There are cheers all around, damn, His Majesty Falcon has hit the target, Immortality God's eyes are open, There was a flood of flattery, and the one who yelled the most fiercely was the commander of the Ten Thousand Cavalrymen of Dongting who hit his head in the mud that day. King Khan's divine shot is unparalleled in the world, unparalleled in the world. He missed for three consecutive days, and today he definitely hit. This is not a miracle. What is it? As for not hitting the target, it doesn't matter. King Khan's arrows have never really missed the target. King Khan has always shot at the heart, the heart of man, the heart of woman, the heart of warrior, and the heart of empire. If you don't believe it, just in front of the other side The murderous 200,000 cavalry peered into the sky, and King Khan used his poor archery skills so easily and freely, so scared that the opposite face turned pale. The long arrow pointed, and the 200,000 cavalry did not dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool. What kind of army is this? divine spirit,

If it had been anyone else, the army would have been so frightened that they would have lost their morale and run as far as they could, but King Khan is here. The situation immediately changed. Unlike following the eldest princess Ruitang Tingna, no one doubted that this battle would fail! Because King Khan was here, no one thought about escaping, because King Khan could not spare him. If he died here, he would lose his life at most. When they came, they were the Manchus, fifty thousand people gathered here. No matter what they think in their hearts, there is one thing in common, that is, even the death of this life will not make King Khan lose a hair.

Even the people of Dongting themselves don't know why this is happening. King Falcon Khan is sitting in the middle of the army. Every time there is a cheer, the soldiers of Dongting will straighten their chests. As a defeated army. King Khan is still so caring, what a face it is, it is enough to be passed down for several generations. At first, the scout cavalry on the opposite side was full of surprise at the archery scene. Curious, I don’t know what there is to cheer about such poor archery skills. After a few days, no one dared to come.

Because every time an arrow is fired, the rangers patrolling the perimeter feel as if they have received blood. They pounced ferociously from all directions, relentlessly, and the chasing scouts and cavalry were so pissed off that they didn't even dare to look back. The tens of thousands of Dongting people who had already sacrificed their lives, and their morale was severely damaged by the night attack, actually immediately recovered to full health. Full of blue status, but also full of possibilities

"It's a pity that the weather is not with me in this battle! But if you give me five days, I am confident that this day will become my own!"

The fat man put down the prairie compound bow that was held horizontally, and he had no choice but to shoot arrows. He was doing it for his own people and for the enemies to see, but the grass target that was shattered by an arrow in the distance was too embarrassing, and there was still a bare wooden pole. Shaking, his lips underestimated, making a small wish. People who didn't know thought that King Falcon Khan was a little dissatisfied with the arrow. Only Murphy O'Brien stood not far away, a little confused.

Are these prairie people really stupid or pretending to be stupid? Can such archery skills catch the eye of these grassland eagles who are hundreds of meters away? Awesome shot, damn, this flattery is almost shot to the sky. Unless you see it with your own eyes, who would dare to believe that these unruly men on horseback have such talent?

The actual situation of the emperor's army was worse than Fatty expected. The early spring rain completely paralyzed the army on the road. So much so that the three Imperial Guards Flag Regiment, which had been ordered to leave the Yue Valley ten days ago, had only just arrived now. After passing Tianlang Mansion, we are still three hundred miles away from the forefront of the Imperial Army.

The equipment full of vehicles and horses, washed away by the heavy rain that lasted for several days, basically fell into this vast endless mud pit. Watching the army drag out a long and euphemistic line in the mud, the speed was like moving in the mud. His body was squirming, and the three Imperial Guard banner commanders were almost crying to death.

As the most elite legion in the empire, His Majesty the Emperor's Guards are naturally top-notch in terms of equipment. There are 5,000 Guards heavy armor, 3,000 Guards cavalry, and 4,000 light-armed crossbowmen. The combination of light and heavy equipment is appropriate and can be used in field battles. Siege is better at defense. It seems that the number of people is Ten thousand twenty-three thousand is not too much, but each Guards Banner Regiment still has fifty thundergods to haul, a large number of crossbows worth millions of baggage to be shipped, and half a month's worth of military rations for the army, so The required hauling horses would not be able to get out without two or three thousand horses.

The empire started out as infantry and swept across the world. It defeated many with less many times. With its terrifying long-range killing power, it suppressed many famous enemy generals and finally ended in hatred. In addition to fighting with courage and tactical weapons and equipment, it depends on who is fighting more. It can be afforded, with the outrageous equipment of the imperial military industry, and an endless amount of baggage. Reserves are the reason why the imperial infantry is as immovable as a mountain and attacks as fiercely as fire. You have an army of 100,000, and I have tens of millions of arrows. The generals of the empire have always had this rogue idea. A hundred arrows for one of your soldiers will always be enough. It's not a loss, not to mention that after the battle is over, the arrow clusters can be pulled out and used again. Can you get up again after you die? Therefore, every time you fight, you must bring a lot of arrow clusters. The baggage must be enough to support the army for half a month. If you bring less, you will be irresponsible for the lives of the soldiers and you will be punished. You must know that every day in the empire, If a soldier dies, the empire needs to pay high subsidies.

But this time, it was obviously inappropriate.

Unlike other areas where the empire fights, the northwest wilderness has ready-made roads and transportation lines. The army only needs to be widened and reinforced to move forward. This is a wilderness of thousands of miles, sparsely populated, and the simple roads that the empire spent half a year to build only extend When they arrived at the Tianlang Mansion and left the Tianlang Mansion, the three captains of the Guards Banner felt their hearts tremble.

It's raining in front of my eyes. Let alone the clear road, I can't even see a rut.

The mud-like ground, which had experienced a winter of frozen soil and was soaked by the continuous spring rain, turned into a quagmire within two days. Not to mention the transport carriage carrying a thousand kilograms, even if a person stepped on it, it would have to be lifted. Half a pound of mud and water came up. In such an environment, a heavy infantry group marched in, just like a tortoise crawling. How could it move quickly? Three hundred miles, at this speed, we can't reach it without walking for five days. In five days, I can't imagine what the situation ahead will be like. Two hundred thousand Dongting troops are pressing down on Onnatso, and the emperor is beside him. The number of troops is less than 50,000. The two armies are less than a hundred miles apart. According to the speed of the prairie horses, if they go back and forth in one night, they may be killed by His Majesty the Emperor.

So the fat man has been sad these days. He feels like dancing on the tip of a knife, and his nerves are tense. The follow-up army is far away, and the Dongting army in front is pressing harder and harder. Yelu Hongtai, the right minister of Dongting, openly and secretly encouraged himself to attack Lang Rui's army, but he only had so few troops under his command, how could he attack? However, the people of Dongting couldn't find out the truth, otherwise the wolf sharp army of Dongting would press forward with all their strength. He had no choice but to turn around and leave immediately, not to mention that there was a Lei Jun who had regained his strength and was staring at him, "Sir, I really don't understand. If you can't advance, if you can't retreat, what's the matter with staying where the opponent is shooting arrows?" . Do you really think of this as a spring hunting ground? "

Lieutenant General Long Ker of the Wolf Rui Army miraculously picked up the strong wine in front of him and took a swig. He chewed the golden roasted lamb leg in his mouth. It was the first time that he felt so boring. The emperor's actions were already confusing. He wanted to hit a wall. Are these barbarians from the Western Kingdom deliberately showing weakness, or are they really weak?

"It is true that some people regard this place as a spring hunting ground, but the prey is you and me, but the hunter is not the emperor!"

General Annaning wore a ferocious face. He put down the curved-horned knife he was using to cut mutton, washed his hands in the basin of water brought by the attendant, wiped them clean, took out a piece of cloth from his sleeve, and threw it to the man who was wiping his mouth. Lieutenant General Long Cole sneered and said

"It's just a pity that we are not the only ones who want the death of the Right Chancellor. There are others who are also watching the old fox act alone with cold eyes. In exchange for five hundred Lyonnais, he induced the emperor to attack us, and then at the critical moment It’s always a knife in the back, it’s so calculating. If there weren’t other people lurking in the old fox, we might have been tricked to death here.”

"No way, how did this old fox hook up with the Falcon Empire?" Lieutenant General Longkel picked up the cloth and shook his head. A pair of inverted triangular wolf eyes were full of fierce light.

"If you don't believe me, just take a look. On this 500-league map, the position of our Lang Rui Army is clearly marked. The opponent is still not moving. It should be that they are gathering troops in secret, and then looking for opportunities to suddenly attack!" Ananinge's thick eyebrows were raised slightly, and he opened his mouth with sharp white teeth. His voice paused before continuing, "I have sent someone to report this situation to His Highness the Prince. Reported, there should be a reply soon. The Spring Festival is in these days, and the throne of Khan is also in these days. Bear with it, the eldest prince sent us not only to keep an eye on the old fox, but also to the second prince. Lei Jun! As long as Lei Jun can't return, the second prince will lose his arm. It's a joke to only have half of the Fengfu army to compete with the eldest prince who has two powerful armies!"

"The third prince's side..." Lieutenant General Longkel was hesitant and hesitated to speak.

"Your Majesty, the Third Prince, has nothing to worry about. How much of a threat can a little brat who only wants to protect himself be?" Ananinge smiled proudly, no longer hiding the arrogance in his heart. After waiting for more than half a year, Finally, the day has come when the eldest prince is waiting for the King of Khans. After the Spring Festival, there will be a banquet at the Khan's Court. At that time, the leaders of all the major clans on the grassland will gather. This time, who dares to take the lead?

Of the eight armies in the East Courtyard, the eldest prince and the second prince each accounted for three armies. The other two armies, one was in the hands of the Right Prime Minister Yelu Hongtai, and the other was in the hands of the third prince. Since Zhamu Hebi died in the battle, this balance has been broken. Although the Lei Army won this time and blocked the emperor and Onna from outside the door, due to this battle, they were unable to return to the second prince in time. The second prince's power was only limited to There was only one Fengfu army left that had not yet recovered from the battle of the Imperial Capital. Right Prime Minister Yelu Hongtai, an old fox, saw this and was willing to go west to avoid trouble. The eldest prince immediately caught him as an excuse. Just sending a wolf sharp army not only took control of the important western gateway of the grassland in one fell swoop, it also effectively isolated one arm of the second prince and the forces of the right prime minister from the battle for the royal court.

In the Baihe pro-army camp, in Guangping outside the camp, there are still queues for drills every day, horses galloping, and in the rain, scimitars bring chains after chains, and the cold light slashes hard on the erected wooden piles, and the sawdust is mixed. Flying with rain. One team moved forward, and the other team walked sideways. They looked a bit like cavalry on horseback.

At this time, a group of sturdy cavalry in fiery red armor passed by the flank of Guangping. The horseshoes kicked up mud, and the wind picked up a half-meter-long pure red wolf tail on the helmet of the leading general's cavalry, like a battle flag fluttering. The horseback warriors training on Guangping immediately stopped, their eyes filled with envy and adoration. Raising the scimitar in his hand, he cheered loudly to the cavalrymen who were covered in blood.

"Blood Wolf Guard!"

The Yelu family has been in charge of the royal court for nearly a hundred years and has great power. Naturally, it has attracted many elite warriors from the grassland. This time, it has assembled tens of thousands of Baihe soldiers. Although most of them are ordinary clansmen with average combat power, there are also some There is no shortage of elite family cavalry, and the Blood Wolf Guards are one of them, numbering less than a thousand. But it is the true iron-blooded warriors that the Yelu family spent countless sums of money to train. They are the real backbone of the Baihe army, and the person who leads the family's most important combat force is naturally the leader of the Yelu family. Getting off the horse, Yeluguda, who was wearing a fiery red robe and armor, walked into the central military tent where the right minister was. He saw his father Yeluhongtai examining the back of the map hanging inside the tent and took a deep breath.

"Father, the King Khan's banquet has been decided to be held in ten days. Are we really just waiting to die like this?"

"Sometimes, tying one's hands does not necessarily mean waiting to be killed, it may also mean waiting for the real person to take action!" Yelu Hongtai turned around with a calm face, his eyes swept over his heroic eldest son, and there was undisguised admiration in his eyes. , who said that the Yelu family is the life of civil servants? Who said that the Yelu family should be just old horses in the manger of the royal court who only know how to find fodder? With such a son, it is destined that the Yelu family should not continue to remain silent.

"Who really took action? Father is still counting on the emperor to take action? Don't be kidding me. These barbarians from the Western Kingdom can't even defeat Lei Jun. They show off their power against this grass target every day. What kind of skills do they have? How dare they take action against Lang Rui's army? ! "Yeluguda said with a hint of disdain. As a famous warrior on the grassland, he has always looked down on the so-called Falcon Empire, and even more disapproved of his father's plan to use the power of the Falcon Empire to eliminate the Wolf Rui Army. He went to see the Emperor specifically, that's the one. It doesn't look like anything special. If anything, then Even if the equipment is good, if you have 3,000 Blood Wolf Guards under your command, you can even charge into the camp. But under the command of the Lang Rui Army, there are 5,000 Diao Tou Lang Riders, each of whom is a tribe that has experienced hundreds of battles. Warriors, when they went south to China and Belgium, they defeated China and Belgium with only 500 men. The Six Thousand Soldiers of the Flattery Army, known as the number one in land warfare in the Central Asia Empire, attacked the city walls of the Imperial Capital. Diao Tou Lang's fifty-man cavalry climbed to the top of the city and held on for half an hour. The knight is famous all over the world, how can such a warrior be compared to the so-called Falcon Empire!

"Don't worry, everything will change in five days at most!" Yelu Hongtai's old white hair trembled slightly, "It will take five days at the fastest from here to the royal court. In ten days, there will be the Khan King's Banquet. In other words, within five days, If there is no change in the internal affairs, the eldest prince will be the real King Khan, so there are people who are more anxious than us."

"Father, are you talking about the second prince? His Lei army was stuck in Onnacuo, and there is only a half-disabled Fengfu army. I'm afraid it won't be able to do anything!" Yelvuguda hesitated and calmly analyzed the results. The person who can be placed high hopes by Yelu Hongtai will naturally not be a mediocre person. In fact, regardless of Yelu Guda's military exploits, Everyone in the prairie is a highly regarded person. On the eagle list held every five years in the prairie, Yeluguda ranks fourth. "When someone shows kindness, there will be others who dare to fight for their lives, even if they don't dare to blatantly pretend to be..." Being deaf and mute is not a problem! "Yelu Hongtai's eagle-like eyes flashed with abnormal light and said with a smile, "Lei Jun" Why stay in the Onner Valley 200 miles away? Isn't it because the map is far enough? It just increases the number of scouts going out. Brother Ananing thinks Lei Jun is afraid of death. Do you also think Lei Jun is afraid of death? The scouts who were chased by the emperor were like running away from ducks, and they were running around like crazy. It almost became a joke. , but no one has thought about whether these scattered elite scouts of the Lei Army have returned to the Onner Valley? One hundred teams, 1,500 people, cannot pass through the area controlled by the Lang Rui Army, can they not pass through? Have other tribes taken over their territory? At this moment, I dare say that half of Lei’s army is still in the Onner Valley!”

"It's the third prince!"

Yelu Guda was shocked, his eyes flashing with disbelief. These tribes would not give face to the Second Prince. If they wanted to, it would be the generous Third Prince. And it was said that the Third Prince had just married his sixth wife from the Biang tribe in the Aungnacuo area last winter. Damn, if you think so, this chess game is a bit scary. The Second Prince and the Third Prince have already joined forces in secret. This chess game was set last winter, and His Royal Highness the First Prince still thought he had won. His father's seemingly unintentional move to the west filled the last loophole of this secret alliance. (To be continued...)
