On the ruined Yanzhou Shangjing City Wall, the soldiers of the Long Family's Western Army were lazily taking a nap behind the battlements. The shooters on the wooden sentry tower also looked listless. The remaining fortifications outside the city looked peaceful everywhere. Quietly, even in some places with brown dust, clusters of green grass grew. No one would be surprised by this. On the contrary, they all deliberately ignored this strange scene, because just a few days ago, there was a battlefield filled with countless corpses. The human blood flowing like streams had long since The sandy soil below has invaded into red wet soil, and now grass is growing, which is really not surprising at all.

The sound of the sword flying across the sky seemed to still be ringing in his ears. Going up to the blood-stained Long Family Army banner at the top of the capital city, Long Yang squinted his eyes. The north wind blew his hair loose. In one year, Long Yang had obviously aged a lot. It used to be that his temples were just a little pale, but now they are completely white. Reflected in the setting sun, if you didn't look carefully, you would have thought he was a half-century veteran.

The number one general in Zhongbia, who single-handedly fought against the rise of the Yelu family, had only a kind of sadness on his calm face at the moment. He seemed to be unable to see the laziness of his subordinates. After fighting hard and without sleep for more than ten days, he still couldn't. It’s good if you can stand with your hands and feet intact, so what else do you expect! Those who are still alive are all lucky. Yanzhou went to Beijing. The eye of the storm that caused the storm in China and Bia has finally calmed down.

The 100,000-strong army of the prairie lord Yelu Hongtai finally evacuated last night. He sent out scouts to follow them fifty miles away. Only then was it confirmed that the Yelu family had truly evacuated. When the news came back to Shangjing, there was no excitement throughout the city, but an indescribable feeling. Silence shrouded the 50,000 Long family's most elite troops, and as many as 36,000 died in battle. There are only a few injured soldiers, only more than a thousand. This is not because there are few injured Long family soldiers, but because most of the injured Long family soldiers have no chance to withdraw. When the grassland people swarmed up the capital wall like a tide, By that time, retreat was no longer possible. Many Long family soldiers ended up rolling down the Shangjing city wall with the grassland people in their arms.

Yanzhou, a corner of the continent's geography, has been protecting the central part of the Zhongzhou continent for thousands of years. It has witnessed the collapse of countless regimes, the rise of countless emerging forces, and countless careerists who have taken advantage of the situation... ...until a certain king with great talent or strategy, or a hero of some ethnic group, stepped on the bones of countless people and finally became the master of this sky, the Yelu family still failed to conquer Shangjing.

Although two-thirds of the Shangjing defense line was penetrated and almost all of the outer perimeter was captured, Longyang's entire army had to retreat into street fighting within the city. The large catapults left on the city wall became trophies for the grassland people because all the stone bullets were used up. The grassland army simply dismantled the stones from the city wall of Shangjing and used them as stone bullets, then turned them around to attack various wheel attacks in the city. Countless houses collapsed, and they clearly rolled over. The traces of it turned the entire Shangjing City into spider webs, as if a giant beast had been raging in the city. The remaining tens of thousands of Long family troops were finally forced to retreat to a corner. If the Yelu family was given another three days Time, or maybe, he really became the Yelu family's family when he went to Beijing. Unfortunately, when he saw the Yelu army outside the city suddenly stopped attacking, Long Yang knew that the Yelu family had no chance!

When the army attacked, morale came first. He sacrificed half of Yanzhou in order to make everyone in the Yelu army think that Yanzhou could be conquered at a moment's notice, and then go to Beijing, which took more than half a year to prepare, to drag down the arrogant and domineering Yelu army. Entering the quagmire of a critical battle, going to Beijing at this time is not the same as when Yelu Hongtai went south and almost defeated the Luzhou Army. Yanjing was trapped to death. In more than half a year, 60% of the long-term capital reserves of the entire Southwest Long family were invested, 50,000 elites, and 100,000 civilians. The defense of the capital city has reached a perverted level, and it has long been destroyed by itself. It has turned into a killing battlefield that devours flesh and blood. As long as Yelu Hongtai falls in, a piece of flesh will definitely be bitten off.

As long as all the elites of the Yelu Army are trapped, Long Po, the second brother who has completed the integration of the southwest, will break into the central part of Central Asia with lightning speed and shake the foundation of the Yelu Army. When the news reaches the Yelu Army Camp, people will definitely be panicked. No matter how reluctant Hongtai was, he had no choice but to retreat to the central government immediately. Otherwise, when the central government was completely shaken, the Yelu family would not say anything about standing still. After the country was over, it was difficult to stabilize the tribes under his command, and there was no strength to defend Yanzhou. This kind of thing was not worth the gain. A generation of outstanding people on the Yeluhongtai grassland developed to such an extent in just one year. They led the tribe south and defeated Zhongbia, seizing the imperial capital of Zhongbia as the foundation, and then taking advantage of the momentum to sweep through the central part of Zhongbia like a whirlwind, this point is still foresight!

For the Long family, defending Yanjing may seem like a show of force, but it is actually just a risky gamble. As long as the victory in the Yanzhou battle spreads throughout China and Bia, the Long family will truly have the reputation of being an independent party. And people’s hearts! From then on, the Long family is the Long family, and the Zhongbia court is the Zhongbia court! The shackles that have been placed on the Long family for decades no longer exist.

Yanzhou, this area of ​​​​Zhongbia Cangqiong, is very important to the Yelu family. It is also the key to transforming snakes into dragons for the Long family.

It's a pity that Long Yang didn't know that Yelu Hongtai even used extraordinary means to intercept news from the central part in order to seize Yanzhou in one fell swoop. Otherwise, Long Yang would know that the withdrawal of Yelu's army was not simply because the central part was attacked! The so-called strategic concept can be wrong by a thousand miles. The appearance may be the same, but the truth may not be as imagined by the planners!

The setting sun fell into the distant mountain ridge, the sky gradually darkened, and the earth began to be silent like a black curtain.

At the gap in the south wall of Yanzhou, more than a dozen scouts of the Long family's Western Army stopped their horses. The mountain wind blew in their faces, fiercely like a knife cutting their bodies. Yanzhou is also called Shuozhou in Central Asia. Shuofeng Tiegu is an adjective used to praise a Central Asian soldier with a strong character in Central Asia. This shows how strong the wind in Yanzhou is.

In order to prevent the Yelu army from playing a trick, this team of scouts of the Long family's Western Army was under the pressure of the wind that was like a knife cutting their faces. They bulged their eyes vigilantly in the dark night, their red eyes were full of bloodshot, and their clothes were still full of It was Xuejia's tattered leather armor. He didn't care about the stench. He was ordered to do something at short notice. Who would have the chance to wash up? He followed the Yelu army and ate dust all the time. After a day and a night, he was already polished like a savage. He wandered like a lone wolf four or five miles behind the Yelu army until he saw the gap in the south wall. He watched the long dragon-like torches of the Yelu army gradually disappear in the land behind the south wall. He was relieved.

From the south wall to Shangjing, it was at least seventy or eighty miles.

Even if the grassland army had a large number of cavalry clusters, it would not be easy to rush to Shangjing, which was seventy or eighty miles away, overnight without anyone noticing. A sneak attack should be impossible! It seems that the Yelu army really left! Moreover, they left in a hurry, discarding countless siege objects that could not be taken away along the way. Even the wounded were tied to the war horses and taken away, regardless of the wounds being torn and the bloody howling. It was another matter whether they could survive after being bumped on the horseback for a day and a night. The grassland people were not retreating at all, it was just like losing a home that was burned down! But it was also true, it was really urgent! The old nest was about to be raided!

"Lord Long Po led the army into the Imperial Capital Plain, no wonder these grassland people were like their butts were burned by fire"

The scout captain who led the team smiled, and the nearby scouts burst into laughter. Even the north wind that cut their faces hurt, could not stop the heroic pride in the hearts of the Long family scouts at this moment. What about the grassland army that collapsed hundreds of thousands of troops in the Central and Asian court? In front of the Long family's Western Army, they still fled in disgrace with their tails between their legs.

"Grassland people are just like that! They are just a little bit tougher. If they really fight, they are just like that." Someone among the subordinates made a sound in agreement. At that time, they attacked the walls of Shangjing like a tide, and the arrows poured down desperately on the top of the city. There was almost no pause. I'm afraid there were millions of arrows shot down in a day. Everyone was a little panicked at that time. Although the Long family was stationed in the southwest all year round, they mainly faced the Gaul army of the Western Continent. They were used to the staggered fighting of infantry formations. When had they encountered such a waterfall-like attack of arrows? They were almost stunned for a while. They all thought that Shangjing would be difficult to hold on. If it weren't for the head of the family, The figure has been standing on the city wall, as if nothing has happened. If the head of the family is like this, who among his subordinates dares to evacuate without permission! As a result, the grassland people shot for a whole day, but the effect was just like that! "

"Who said it wasn't? The head of the family is the god of war from Central Asia who has come down to earth to defeat these grassland people. If you want to shoot the head of the family and seize Yanzhou, you can dream about it!"

"Yes, the head of the family doesn't want anyone's support. He just kept running and shouting on the top of the city, and saw the grassland people's arrows chasing behind his head, and the nearby people desperately shielded him. The personal soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and the heavy armor worn by the master was also pierced with more than a dozen arrowheads, but the master did not even bend his waist. A personal guard holding a shield beside him thought he was too close and was in the way, so he was pushed away by the master with red eyes. I came to my senses at that moment. It turned out that the rain of arrows from the grassland people was just like that. It looked scary, but in fact, its real power was not as good as the infantry bows of the Western Continent infantry. There was no big stone balls from the Western Continent that came like meteors and needed to be dodged. It was just arrow clusters. No matter how many there were, could they penetrate them? Steel shields are not enough. It must be said that the shields and armors purchased by the head of the family from the Falcon Empire are really solid and reliable, much better than the inferior goods forged by the family before. With this confidence, who would be afraid of the arrows of the grassland people below? Many arrows hit the body, and there was a clang, and they bounced off softly!

"Wu Er, you just brag, why do I see you are so scared that your face is pale, the arrow did not bounce off, but it did not penetrate, and it was swinging steadily at the position of your thing!"

"Bullshit, I am an iron crotch, what do you know!"

"Haha! "The scouts burst into laughter. In their eyes, the impossible victory of the Yanzhou battle was clearly laid out before the Long family. As the victor, what was the point of teasing the enemy! Hundreds of thousands of grassland troops were able to capture the Central Bia Imperial Capital, but they were beaten to a pulp in Yanzhou. The 50,000 Long family Western Army made the 160,000 grassland troops return in defeat! This shows how useless the court troops are! Not only did they lose the Imperial Capital, they even gave up Yanzhou. If there was no support from the Long family, would there still be men in the entire Central Bia?

Fifty miles north of Yanzhou Shangjing, a mass of grassland cavalry stood on their horses. In the silence, there was only the sound of horses snorting.

Under the gaze of everyone, a white-haired old man wearing black armor raised his right hand toward the sky and loosened his five fingers. He looked at the cut and cold wind, blowing away the dust in his hand like fine sand. , with a hint of tears in his eyes, Yanzhou, Zhongbia Qingqiong, besides having a nice name, what else do you have! The barren and barren mountains block the cold wind from the north. This allows the warm climate from the ocean to create the great plain south of Yanzhou, which has become the core of the most prosperous area in the Central Asian region in recent years. In order to withstand the north, the The nomads invaded, and he led generations of Yanzhou men to fight bloody battles. Over the past hundred years, millions of Yanzhou men were killed and injured. What did they get in exchange?

Kill everyone? The whole clan rebels!

The entire Yanzhou officer group was either detained, beheaded, or put on the front line to serve as cannon fodder. The first field elite of the Zhongbia Empire that day was wiped out from now on! For this reason, he did not hesitate to invest in the grassland royal court and drive the grassland army south to attack the imperial capital, but so what? Even if those Dijing people who have insulted their own families die, they still cannot replace their lost relatives.

I'm afraid even God can't bear to see it. Today, I returned to Yanzhou again!

"King Khan, the Yelu army seems to have evacuated Shangjing. The military flag of the Long family is still flying in Shangjing city. The city wall is in dilapidated condition. It seems that they have just evacuated not long ago, and the Long family has not even had time to repair it!" In the distance, a The scouts from Mingbei Royal Court rushed over quickly, stopped their horses in front of the army, and said to a young man who was about thirty years old behind the old man.

"So, Shangjing doesn't know about our arrival at all?" The young man looks a little thin and wears a dark copper-colored wolf head armor. The eyes of the wolf head are two red gems, which can give people a sense of security even at night. Feeling cold, the young man reacted immediately when he heard the scout's report. Yelu Hongtai must have heard the news, otherwise he would never have escaped so completely. Instead, he went to Beijing. I'm afraid he was completely unaware, otherwise he would never have been able to escape. It’s not like they don’t even repair the city wall.

"King Khan, with such a God-given opportunity, it would be a pity not to take the opportunity to go to Beijing!" The white-haired veteran said with flashing eyes, "Although going to Beijing is the strongest barrier in Yanzhou, if we talk about familiarity, even ten Longyangs can reach it." But I’m a Goldman Sachs!”

"In this way, there is Old General Lao Gao!" It is rare that the young man actually performed a courtesy on the horseback to the old man, which is the etiquette of the juniors of China and Biya to their seniors. The Gao family of Yanzhou, the pillar of Yanzhou for more than a hundred years, indeed has You are qualified to say this, the time is right, the place is right, and the people are in the right place. How can you not take the gift from God!

Regarding the issue of being in a hurry to end, Baozi is not in a hurry. It’s just that he gets tired after writing a book for a long time, and his passion is severely consumed. There are so many numbers, and it will end when it’s time to end, and then start a new book.

(To be continued.)
