Realm of Power

The number of the grassland army was increasing rapidly. When the large number was like dark clouds covering most of the visible area on the opposite river bank, Yeluguda's mouth began to show a ferocious look. As a former army, there were five grassland soldiers. Ten thousand, of which the Baihe troops of the Yelu family accounted for more than thirty thousand.

War horses crowded together, rows of people holding wooden shields with iron bones in their hands, people on top of people, horses on top of horses, the black armor was cold and cold, like a whole, swimming in groups was the habit of the prairie cavalry crossing the river. There is a way, that is, swimming. When encountering a large and turbulent river, use the method of crowding people to cross. In the rapid current, after being blocked by several people and horses, it will appear that There is no strength anymore, not to mention that the Sishui river beach in front of us is only thirty meters wide, and the river is just rushing. In front of the tens of thousands of cavalry, there is a small ditch. As the order is issued, teams of archers stand on the grassland. Standing out from both sides, he began to draw the horn bow in his hand, and raised it neatly towards the river bank. Countless cold arrows were like stars in the sky.

At this moment, the other side of the river where people and horses were screaming just now fell silent. No one spoke. Only the wind by the river blew the flags of the Prairie Army flying. In the silent air, there was a huge and shocking power. , even the war horse seemed to feel this inexplicable pressure, and chose to tighten his body completely out of biological instinct.

The grassland people's horn bows can shoot eighty meters, enough to cover the opposite river bank.

Although the prairie people use cavalry as their main force, it does not mean that there is no infantry. Especially in the Battle of Yanzhou, the prairie army found that the cavalry attacked quickly and fiercely, but once they encountered the Central Asians, they had no choice but to defend the city, so many The slaves with low status were organized into infantry. The main function of these slave infantry was to shoot arrows and cooperate with the cavalry to attack small fortresses. The weapons they were equipped with were mainly simple wooden shields and scimitars. They had no armor on their bodies. The better ones were thin-skinned. First. In order to let these slaves do their best, Yelu Hongtai issued the latest order. The slaves who killed three Central Asian soldiers in the battle not only canceled the status of the slaves. And you can get three sheep, one male and two females, and two cows, one male and one female. In the eyes of ordinary prairie people, this is the beginning of a family.

Most of these slaves were prairie people. He is a prisoner of war among all races,

After hearing such an order, everyone's eyes turned red. These steppe light infantry who had seen blood in Yanzhou had begun to show the ferocious nature of steppe wolves. Since entering the Dijing Plain, they had swept all the way. The weakness of the Central Asian army , and the non-resistance of some small cities made these a bit speculative at the beginning. The grassland people who felt embarrassed about entering the rumored to be the richest plain of the Imperial Capital immediately found confidence in their hearts. The people of Central and South Africa were nothing more than that. No wonder the Imperial Capital was breached! What a good pasture, what a beautiful woman, and a large amount of wealth. Since the Central Asians cannot keep these, then give them all to us!

The thinking of the grassland people has always been to prey on the weak, direct and cruel. Yelu Hongtai made such a big cake for 300,000 grassland people. The hard battle in Yanzhou made the grassland people begin to doubt this pancake, but now, the Imperial Capital is right in front of them. The pancake is no longer a pancake to satisfy hunger, but a woman with wealth that can drive people crazy. Now when they look at the Central Asian army opposite, their eyes are red.

"Kill, kill! Kill to the Imperial Capital!"

This is what all prairie people think. The power gathered by this spirit hardly needs any morale encouragement. The grassland people are like a swarm of ants smelling the sweetness of candy. They work hard regardless of their own safety. Countless horses' hooves just step into the rolling white waves of Surabaya in front of them without fear. The current is fierce. Hit these prairie cavalry,

The current surged like a mountain avalanche and cracked the ground, rolling up large tracts of white. Many cavalrymen were washed off their horses by the strong waves, but they were blocked by other rows. "Help" Prairie people are not good at water. Even if they were temporarily blocked, they would just struggle and flutter in the water. A large amount of river water was poured into it, and I couldn't float for a long time. My hands were clawing around. This has nothing to do with bravery. It is completely a normal survival response of the human body.

"Poof!" A prairie cavalry raised his machete and without hesitation cut off the hand of a drowning man who was grabbing around. He watched the drowning man with his severed hand desperately being beaten away by the torrent, and bright red blood dripped in the water. A striking red line was drawn out, his eyes were cold and indifferent, and none of the prairie cavalry next to him stretched out his hand to drag it.

What are you still struggling for? Wearing such thick armor, falling into the water is almost doomed, not to mention that the person who fell into the water is already in a panic and doesn't care about anything. Anyone who dares to pull a hand will definitely be pulled into the water by the other party. It is better to die alone than two people. good! puff! puff! Bloody flowers kept appearing on the river, and severed hands kept floating. The owner of the severed hands had long since disappeared.

"Woo!" The horns of the prairie people never stopped. Teams of cavalry entered the river. Starting from the first thousand people who entered the river, more and more prairie cavalry began to enter on horseback. The number was large. It's so confusing that it's like A huge gate was suddenly inserted into the river thousands of meters away, and the river was divided. Instead, there were countless horse heads, human heads, prairie cavalry with scimitars in their mouths, and wooden shields as dense as scales. Kill yourself. People are so cruel! Cross the river and fill it in directly with men and horses? This barbaric practice is as spectacular as the great migration of wildebeest and antelope on the African grasslands. It is even more shocking. People can actually do this! "These lunatics!"

The Central-Bian army on the opposite side unconsciously clenched their weapons, feeling a little cold on their backs. Looking at the scene on the river, those veterans who had participated in the Battle of Dijing were okay. They knew the virtues of these grassland people, and they also had some new ideas. The new recruits who came in were frightened to death. Are these still human beings? "You know nothing!"

The veteran next to him spat on the ground with a look of disdain, raised the heavy iron spear in his hand, and said in a cold voice, "If the prairie people go to the battlefield, they are no longer human. Do you know, these prairie people from the bitter cold north are all..." They are not afraid of death. In the environment of natural disasters and wars on the grassland, human life is very fragile, so they believe in the Immortality Heaven. They no longer expect anything like this life. What they pursue is the afterlife, returning to the Immortality Heaven. After death, In their eyes, death is like returning to the mother's arms, so these madmen can kill their compatriots very calmly, or they can kill us very crazily. If they don't want to die, they can only be more ruthless than them, knowing that there were dozens of battles in the Imperial Capital. Ten thousand people were defeated, but we were the only ones who didn’t have the reason for the collapse! ""What's the reason?" the recruit asked stupidly, flattering Zhangwu's army to be defeated by the grassland army at the Hanling River, and they were killed for dozens of miles. It is said that more than 200,000 people were killed, but Yang Zijun's troops were the only one that was not defeated. It was rare that some of its troops were retained. This was also the reason why the Zhongbia imperial court handed over the defense of the entire Imperial Capital Plain after the Central and African courts moved south. The reason for Yang Zi. With all the eyes in the court, there was only one person left who could compete with the grassland people. The emperor did not hesitate to promote Yang Zi from a general in the Flattery Army directly to the position of guarding the imperial capital and the deputy general of the Flattery Army. , it can be said that he is the highest military officer in the Imperial Capital combat area,

There are many theories as to why Yang Zi was not defeated by the Prairie Army. There are various mythical rumors. Some people say that General Yang Zi is the God of War from the sky who came down to earth to defeat these grassland people. Therefore, when the grassland people heard that General Yang Zi's troops were in front of them, they all walked around consciously. Some people said that Yang Zi was a white tiger. The evil star is more evil than the prairie people, and the prairie people don't dare to provoke it.

It was because of hearing various rumors that the recruits joined Yang Zi's flattery army. In the catastrophe in Imperial Capital, not only the people of Imperial Capital died, but also Central and African people in many nearby cities. There was no shortage of young Central and Asian people full of hatred. As the guard of the Imperial Capital, Yang Zi recruited these young people into his army. Although these young people lacked combat experience, at least they would not be timid when they saw the grassland people, at least they would not have the disgrace that happened in Hanglin a few days ago. The entire flattery army's face has been ruined. "Did you see the thousands of heavily armored swordsmen behind the general?" The veteran looked at the place where the military flag was with a strange expression, and winked at the new recruits. A hint of fear appeared unconsciously. "Heavy armored swordsman?" The recruits looked over in surprise and saw that under the military flag, thousands of swordsmen wearing heavy armor from Central and South Africa were listed in four teams, all thick and thick. The armor is like an iron pier, with thickened iron plates on the arms and shoulders. The weapon in his hand is a single-edged machete with a long handle. The blade is heavy and thick, and it can definitely split the armor with one knife.

To be placed under the military flag, he is naturally an important soldier in the army, and he is also a bargaining chip that is only released at critical moments. Seeing these heavy armored weapons that almost don't look like humans, the recruits looked at the thin weapons in their hands and took a deep breath. Air-conditioned, he said to himself, "No wonder, with such heavily armed troops, the prairie cavalry back then couldn't be defeated even if they were killed!" "Haha, how big are your eyes?" I'm gone, can you tell this? I've wasted so much saliva, I don't know how I will die later." When the veteran heard what the recruit said, he was so angry that he wanted to hit the recruit with his weapon, and said angrily, "Who told me You, these heavy armored swordsmen are used to deal with the prairie cavalry! You will know what "" means? The recruit's eyes widened. Did he say it wrong?

"Do you think these guys in heavy armor can withstand the front line? Don't be kidding. Even the iron Tuozi will be trampled to pieces by the impact of the cavalry group, let alone there are people inside! Unless you put the heavy soldiers of the Luzhou Army in the south Jiashi moved "Come on!" The veteran's voice paused. "If you want to stop the charge of the cavalry group, there is no other way but to fill it with human lives. The positions of those heavy-armored swordsmen are in the middle of the army, and the people in front are almost filled." Only then will they take action.”

"Then what if the person in front can't bear it?"

The recruit's face was ugly. His position was in front. Although he was not on the first line, he was still on the second or third line. He finally knew where he had made a mistake. With such a large number of troops, the general would naturally not choose to leave him on the first line head-on. The recruit's thoughts were, It also represents the thoughts of most of the recruits. When it comes to killing the prairie people, they all look excited, as if they can kill them with just one knife. Sweeping a large area and decapitating the enemy chief among thousands of troops, what a heroic spirit, what a glory, but when you really see the prairie people's cavalry groups covering them like an overwhelming force, most of the recruits are holding their weapons with one hand. , but everything was down from his crotch, and my legs were swinging uncontrollably. It was pretty good if I could still stand.

"Those who retreat will naturally be killed without mercy!"

The veteran's eyes narrowed into a straight line, and the corner of his mouth was slightly grinned, revealing half of his front teeth. The recruit remembered that the veteran said that this half of the front teeth was knocked out by the prairie cavalry's horse and knocked off the stone on the ground. The veteran in front of him His expression seemed to be thinking of some very unbearable memories, and there was a hint of chill that made the recruits feel cold.

"Archers fire!"

The recruits heard a shout coming from the direction of the military flag formation, and countless arrow clusters shot up from behind the military formation, densely packed, covering the entire sky.

The recruits were so shocked that they watched the black cloud tear apart the queue of prairie people on the river in an instant. The feeling was not surprise or joy, but a kind of trembling. A bone-chilling chill, the killing was so intuitive, a dazzling burst of bright red exploded on the river, and the sound of the arrow piercing the body was like the tearing sound of a wild beast tearing apart muscles with sharp teeth.

In order to avoid the bow shooting, which the grassland army is best at, the Central and Bian army's array position is not close to the river, but 60 meters behind the river. If the opponent's archers want to shoot at this position, they must step into the river and kick. On the fast river surface, under the impact of the rapids, it is difficult not to mention raising a bow to shoot, but even to stand upright.

However, this short-term advantage can only be maintained when the opponent's cavalry has not yet landed. The hoofs of a prairie war horse firmly stepped on the opposite bank in the torrent, and the arrows were filled with the wooden shields of the cavalry on the horse. , the armor on his body was also full of inserts, like a hedgehog, but this cavalry rushed up like this, so fierce that one doubted whether it was a human being.

"Balu's Thousand Sword Tent has landed!" Seeing this scene, the prairie cavalry were shocked. It seemed that at this moment, everyone's fighting spirit was aroused. The hands holding the reins of the war horses involuntarily stirred up many dishes in their hands. After a few laps, it even got to the point where it wouldn't fall off even if you let go. As long as you get on the shore, you can use the horse to charge, no matter how hard it is!

"Asshole, it's our Dragon Scale Armor from Zhongbia!" The recruits heard the angry scoldings of the veterans around them, and sure enough they saw that the prairie man who washed up on the shore looked very familiar in his clothing. It turned out to be one that only generals in Zhongbia can equip. I don’t know which Zhongbia general the dragon scale armor was ripped off from.

"What are you still doing? The front army moves forward! Drive them down!"

At this moment, the Central Asian army began to advance, and the heavy iron guns were lifted up together. The impact of the cavalry was so great that ordinary wooden gun shafts could not bear it. Even if they could stab the cavalry down, the guns were broken, and they could not withstand the second wave. The second wave of impact, so after learning the lessons of the Imperial Capital defeat, Yang Zijun began to equip genuine iron guns. Each iron gun was five meters long and required the cooperation of two infantrymen. It was somewhat similar to Obaro's dragon gun.

The entire front line was in motion. Once all the prairie cavalry landed, it would be the end of Yang's army.

The feet stepped heavily on the water on the ground, splashing a large area of ​​frost-like water on the river beach. Countless pairs of feet were lifted up and put down, and at the same time they brought up the sand and mud on the ground, turning the ground under their feet into a ball of mud. The veteran looked at the recruits who were in a daze. low dull He snorted, "Remember, even if you die, don't retreat! The heavy armor's long sword is extremely sharp, and one cut will cut you in two! It's better to die, because I'm afraid that the remaining half of your body will be unable to survive and die! Rolling in the mud, then I can’t take care of you anymore!”

"Yes!" The recruit shuddered, his face turned pale, as if he saw a half-body person wailing in the blood on the ground, he nodded hard, and at this time, he had no regrets about taking the medicine, and his eyes could only be dead. Staring at the huge front line crossing the river, like a wave The tide rolled, and the cold light suddenly revealed at the front of the front was like snow. It was just a scimitar bitten by the grassland people. With such light, even from a long distance, the recruits felt that the surrounding temperature had dropped a few degrees. The recruits had a sense of It feels like these prairie people are not humans, but beasts! What shines is not the knife, but the fangs of the beast!

"Kill, kill the prairie people!" The veteran suddenly shouted with the loudest voice, and countless voices around him rang out, "Kill, kill the prairie people!" The recruit tried hard to open his mouth, but was hit in the face by a pool of hot blood. , hit the mouth, across the river, countless arrow clusters came through the air, one arrow shot through the head of the person in front, (To be continued.)
