Realm of Power

Please enter the text. The cold wind mixed with large tracts of white snow blew across the vast land. The Fezer soldiers who were walking forward in the snow in the dark night suddenly stopped. They saw a man standing about 20 meters in front. A knight in black armor, and soon, an officer Feize came on horseback after receiving the report, With an angry look on his face, he loudly ordered his subordinates to go down and take down the opponent. Several of the accompanying cavalrymen fiercely pulled out their swords and rode up. The sword light slashed at the knight skillfully and continuously, and his head was chopped off with one sword. The limbs were also severed and fell onto the snow on the ground without any blood flowing out.

"What is going on?" Such a strange scene made the soldiers of Feize Army seem a little at a loss.

"My lord, you are just a straw man!"

There was a sound in the distance, and a cavalryman was seen running back dragging a remaining body with one hand.

Scattered fragments, you can faintly see that all the withered grass seeds fell out from the cut parts. I don’t know who made the prank, but actually erected a life-size straw man here, and then put on half-real clothes. Armor, on such a snowy night, even the best eyesight is useless

"Asshole, you're so shocked!"

Officer Feizer cursed angrily and wanted to turn around, but his eyes swept over the straw man, his expression suddenly changed, and he took a breath of air. It was already unbelievable that the straw man appeared here, but it was far away just now. He couldn't see clearly. Now that he was close to a certain distance, the officer saw the straw man's torso made of grass seeds. , there are also several Feize characters written with a bright red dye. It is Feize script that only nobles can learn. Ordinary soldiers in the Feize army are basically illiterate, so even if they see red letters, they don’t know what they mean. , I thought it was blood, but the officer was from a noble family, so of course he knew the words "Feize".

"Gan Kefu!"

The officer almost vomited blood after reading the words above. Isn't this a deception? He put Mr. Gan Kefu's name on the straw man and ordered his subordinates to cut it to pieces, if Mr. Gan Kefu knew about it. It was strange that he was not punished. In Feize, the aristocratic class was strictly hierarchical. The dignity of the upper nobles could not be insulted and violated by the lower nobles. The officer in front of him was just a minor noble. Thinking of how many times he had chopped off the straw man marked with the great noble Gan Kefu, his face turned pale. The only thing he could think of was to turn around and report back to the top. This was the only chance to save it.

"That's it?'

Soon Gan Kefu also knew the news and came to check it out in person. His eyes fell on the words written on the straw man. Gan Kefu's eyes flickered and his face suddenly became extremely gloomy, even on such a snowy night. You can also feel a chilling atmosphere coming from the body of veteran Gan Kefu.

"Sir, how should we deal with this?" The officer looked at Gan Kefu's livid old face and asked cautiously. Everyone could see that Gan Kefu was a sign of anger.

"What else can I do? Just throw it away." Gan Kefu just snorted with a cold expression on the officer's words. If you don't throw this kind of thing away, why should you take it all the way back? He didn’t know how his brain grew, so he didn’t actually care about what was written on it. At his age, he had never seen anything before. He was just shocked. How did the other party know that he would take this road to return to Beijing? Being able to set up a straw man here in advance is enough to prove that the other party knows everything about his return to the royal capital. Just thinking about having such a pair of eyes staring at him from behind, and an army of 200,000 people right under the eyes of others, even Gan Kefu would feel a chill behind his back.

"Send the order, cancel the rest, and move forward faster." Gan Kefu loudly ordered the repairing troops to speed up, and the already exhausted troops. After only a short rest of ten minutes, they had to hit the road in a hurry. The officers on horseback loudly urged their subordinates to speed up. The infantrymen not only had to bear the weight of thick armor, but also had to bear the painful snow flakes hitting their faces. There is a muddy puddle with every foot, and the person walking in front There was too much, and the snow turned into a swamp. Everyone could only hold their breath and rush forward. Five miles away, the army stopped again at a mountain pass. The same situation happened again, with a straw man blocking the way. In front of the army, the words above changed to "Gan Kefu, you can't escape!"

"Mysterious!"

Gan Kefu raised his gray eyebrows with disdain, then glanced at the hilly terrain on both sides behind the straw man, and frowned even more. This kind of terrain was the most suitable for an ambush. Even if he knew that the other party might just be playing tricks, Gan Kefu would not dare to use it. Two hundred thousand elite troops Risking life and death, this is Feize's last military strength. Once there is a big loss, the consequences will be unimaginable. He must bring it back to the royal capital safely. Out of caution, Gan Kefu raised his hand and shouted behind him, "Immediately" Send out scouts to explore the mountains on both sides.”

The horses' hooves smashed the snow in front of them, raising snow dust. Three centurions of scout cavalry entered the pass in front and searched along both sides. Although it was a severe cold winter, the pine needle forest in the pass was like a Covered by a thick and dense carpet, in the dark night, the scout rides The soldiers could only jump off their horses and use weapons to clear the suspicious-looking rocks. The search was very difficult. It took more than an hour for the scout cavalry to complete the search of the entire pass area. It was completely safe and there was absolutely no enemy. Gan Kefu, who reported the report, breathed a sigh of relief secretly.

"Forward!" Fei Zejun moved forward again,

After intermittent walking and stopping, at the sixth five-mile position, Gan Kefu ignored the straw man and directly ordered the troops to move forward.

"Work harder, and when we reach Lahras in front, the entire army will rest."

Gan Kefu looked at the sky with determination. On the distant eastern horizon, there were signs of light. After marching overnight, as long as he crossed the forty miles where he was most likely to be pursued, the road behind him would be relatively safe. Well, if nothing else happens, the golden light of the setting sun shining on the city of King Feize tomorrow afternoon might still be able to shine on me!

"Sir, have you found a straw man again?" A light cavalry galloped over.

"Don't worry about it, the army continues to move forward!" Gan Kefu waved his hand, no longer surprised. The other party's little cleverness was nothing more than an excuse to delay the army's return to Beijing. In fact, in the face of such a huge number, The army is marching at night. Even if the opponent wants to ambush, they must have considerable strength and do it quickly. In terms of speed, unless the other party has wings, it is impossible for him to run in front of him on such a snowy night. Most likely, the other party is using this despicable method to delay time. If he eats them all along the way, he will just A straw man can scare an army of 200,000 into hesitation and fear, and his reputation will be completely ruined by this.

In a hilly and shady area five miles away, an Imperial Cavalry wearing black armor stopped in front of the Emperor almost at the same time and loudly reported, "Feize's army has passed the last straw man and entered the five-mile range."

The fat man grinned slightly. He was naturally responsible for the straw men along the way, targeting experienced veterans like Gan Kefu. The empire's northwest army dispatched this time only had 50,000 people, 20,000 cavalry, and 30,000 infantry. It is the largest amount of troops that can be carried on a horse-drawn sleigh. , such a force is obviously not enough to fight against the 200,000 King Feize's army. The only advantage is that it can wait for work. Although the 200,000 King's army is huge in number, it took a whole night of surprise. , even the Man of Steel is almost overdrawn at this moment.

What's more, ten miles ahead is Lahras, where the royal army rests. It is a city on the outskirts of the royal capital. The royal army has three thousand people stationed here. As an eye to monitor the west coast, it only takes two to For three hours, everyone's energy and energy will be poured out at this moment.

"Let's get started"

The fat man nodded to Croissat, who was wearing heavy armor next to him. The 30,000 assault cavalry, who were the backbone of the attack, had already regained their energy. After eating breakfast, they waited for an hour full of energy. Rows of imperial black-armored cavalry. Standing tall and proud on the horse, the cavalry cape behind him is waving like a battle flag. The distance of five miles is the best distance for the cavalry to fully stride forward and start sprinting after warming up.

After receiving the order to "move in", the commander of the Northwest Army of the Empire, Crolisate, put on his helmet and raised the sharp sword in his hand. Countless war horses began to rumble with their hooves. Cheng Xi, who had just risen from the east, was like It's a bright red line coming over , the red light illuminated the imperial cavalry lying on their horses galloping below, rows of black, rumbled down the gentle hilly slope, the war horses had put down their face armor, the cavalry lances had been leveled, The sharp edges of the entire row of spears glowed golden in the morning light.

"Assault, crush!"

The cavalry with high morale shouted slogans. In the last two miles of the five-mile journey, the horses entered full speed, and the leading cavalry captain pointed his spear forward. Countless black cavalry made the black line flash out in the distant morning light surge like layers of waves! A little closer. The sound of horse hooves could finally be heard. It was so violent that it could not be distinguished. It was just a rumbling sound. At this moment, the earth thundered, and countless black cavalry thought of withdrawing their swords sharply from King Feize's army who was exhausted to the extreme. The right side is going down crazily, advancing so fast, you’ll be there in the blink of an eye "Enemy attack!" screamed shrilly, and the soldiers pushed one by one in front of the horses' hooves. The scene in front of them was too terrifying. The galloping horses turned into bloody phantoms like a rushing wind with the countless sword lights. The cavalry's sharp The stabbing spear effortlessly kills the enemy in front of you Overthrown, watching the horrified heads flying into the air, watching a striking column of bright red blood spurting out from the headless chest, looking at King Feize's army who had just slept well after arriving at Lahras, In the unexpected situation in front of me, I was completely blinded.
