Realm of Power

The Long family's Xunqi, carrying the news of the victory of the war, had just left the half-broken Yanzhou to Beijing with the smoke and dust of Yanzhou rolling behind the horse. No one noticed that in the sudden wind of Yanzhou, fifty thousand grassland north The elite troops from the royal court were led by the former Yanzhou Army General Gao Sheng, following the nearest route and rushing towards Shangjing.

Yanzhou Cangqiong has never been so weak, and such an opportunity happened to be encountered by Beiwangting, how could he let it go!

In the darkness, the five thousand Beiting Qingqi, the fastest vanguard, arrived at a ruined fort pass less than five miles away from Shangjing in Yanzhou in the middle of the night. With a loud howl of wolves, groups of grassland Qingqi came. The cavalry began to pour out, although it seemed a little It was messy, but in fact it looked very layered. In the darkness, people and horses spread out in straight lines across the ground in front of them. Then a prairie general with a wolf tail on his helmet appeared at the ruins of the pass. From here, you can already see Seeing the edge of the earth in the distance, there is a The rows of starlight were flashing. It was also very dark tonight and there were no stars. So these starlights could only be the lights of the upper capital. He tried to keep his eyes open. Lu Ke, the leader of the left Red Army in the North Royal Courtyard, looked ecstatic and a little overwhelmed. The confident pupils suddenly shrank into pinholes, burning hot His eyes were full of excitement and desire, and he licked his chapped lips. The corners of his lips were almost cracked to the base of his ears. The narrow pass pointed out by the old guy from Goldman Sachs worked. He just kept his head down and ran forward, waiting for a breath. After rushing out, we arrived at the outskirts of Shangjing.

Even Lu Keda himself did not expect that Yanzhou Shangjing, the strongest barrier in the history of the prairie people, would appear in front of him so easily. The previous time when the grassland went south, he would have died before he saw Shangjing. Tens of thousands of people will be respected when they see Shangjing and return to the grassland. But this time, Shangjing, the most powerful city in China and Libya, seems to be I was really tortured by the battle between the Long family and the Yelu family in the southwest. It is said that the upper capital city is extremely strong, lying in a radius of ten miles, and there are overlapping mountain fortresses on the outside. Now what falls in front of me is only the lonely ruins with few stars, and I rush all the way. Come here, he didn’t even encounter the most basic scouts. If he didn’t know that he was in Shangjing right in front of him, Lu Keda would have thought that he was dreaming.

In order to rush to Beijing as quickly as possible, he brought five thousand Beiwangting Red Wolf Qingqi under his command. Each of them only wore a piece of light mail armor. They braved the extremely cold Yanzhou wind and wore a layer of cotton coat to rush over. , not to mention that each cavalryman only has three feather arrows in the quiver on his back. That is because from the moment he enters the archery range, to the time he runs, When it comes to the city wall of Shangjing, it is usually the time to shoot all three arrows. After shooting the arrows, it is a close combat with swords to break the city. If you don't fight to the last person, you will never leave Shangjing. It is said that the current defensive strength of Yanzhou Shangjing may be With less than 10,000 people, Ilu can reach 5,000 elite combat forces. They may not be able to capture Shangjing, but they are enough to support the arrival of subsequent large forces!

"Follow the whole army!"

Lu Keda excitedly raised his arms on the galloping horse, and then suddenly dropped them under the eyes of everyone, like a weather vane pointing ahead to the capital. The prairie cavalry galloped out with their horses and bows raised, and the flying hoofs rushed from the front. Out, like an avalanche, it accelerates through the curvature of the slope. With superb horse control skills, the horses were clamped under the crotch. Without much hesitation, they rushed up almost at the same time. One team was a hash of a hundred people, and they rushed over like a wave. The rhythm of the horses' hooves Inspiring the eardrums of the prairie cavalry and the blood in their bodies, going to Beijing is right in front of them! To say you are not excited is to deceive yourself! Conquering Shangjing is equivalent to opening the door to Central Asia in the south, so that generations of grasslands will no longer have to suffer from the bitter cold wind! The most important thing is naturally the reward promised by the Khan. After conquering Shangjing, each person will be rewarded with a hundred cattle and sheep, ten slaves, five gold cakes, and promotion to centurion. Such wealth is considered quite good even among a wealthy family. Only the characters have!

The war horses rumbled with their hoofs. There was no need for a pointing sign in the dark night. The lights of Shangjing City were the best direction indicators. The prairie light cavalry ran three hundred meters outside Shangjing City before they saw a bright red line shooting from Shangjing City. When it came out, it was a rocket. It soared into the air and exploded like a flower. It was like a sun illuminating a radius of nearly a mile. Naturally, it also clearly illuminated the turbulent prairie light cavalry rushing towards the capital city.

"Enemy attack!" finally came the shout from the upper capital city.

"Raise the bow!"

Now that we have reached this position, it doesn't matter whether we are exposed or not. The grassland Qingqi is submerged in the darkness again in the flashing red light in the sky. It is just the sound of hooves that rumbles into a group, and countless grassland horses arch their backs. He raised it towards the Beijing city wall with tacit understanding. The cold light of the metal suddenly appeared at this moment, and a dense white line flew towards the Beijing city wall with the crisp sound of the bowstring. Before the Long Family's Western Army had time to react, countless arrow clusters had already penetrated their bodies with whistling like lightning. Because they were too tired, many soldiers took off their heavy armor when resting. Under the attack, they saw patches of red exploding on the city wall. Many people looked in disbelief at the white tail feathers that submerged into their bodies, and then were shot into hedgehogs by more falling arrow clusters.

After three rounds of arrows, the Prairie Qingqi had already rushed to the foot of the incomplete Shangjing City. They pulled out their sharp scimitars, jumped off their horses, stepped on the collapsed stones and rushed towards the gap in front. The blow knocked the fire in the brazier near the gap to the ground. The sparks scattered and became more bloody. The firelight reflected on these people who were swarming in. On the grassland cavalry, under the fierce attack of various siege weapons of the Yelu family, the city wall of Shangjing collapsed many gaps. The soldiers of the Long family who rushed to fight were cut down by the grassland people who rushed in before they could understand the situation. On the ground, more people were confused and didn't know whether to come out to block it or retreat. Aren't the prairie people gone? Why are you back again! Not to mention the soldiers were at a loss, even the officers were the same. Especially in the dark, they had no idea how many prairie people there were.

But in just a short moment, a fierce battle broke out. The prairie people swarmed forward, like crazy tigers. The Long family soldiers only had time to lift their weapons and didn't even have time to put on their armor. They stabbed the prairie people who rushed up. After going out, both sides fell down in a few gaps in the city wall in a blink of an eye. The blood had not completely faded. The colorful walls of Shangjing were stained again, and the stain was shocking. The chaotic sounds of shouting and fighting erupted in Shangjing like thunder, straight into the night sky. Full of murderous intent came overwhelmingly, hitting the hearts of everyone inside, shaking. The alarm clock tower on the wall of the capital city, which represented the attack, was continuously tolling violently.

From time to time, in the narrow gap in the city wall, Long family soldiers can be seen in groups, holding the spears in their hands desperately, aiming at the prairie war horses that barely stepped on them, and at the same time stabbing out, killing the prairie people who rushed towards them. The horse broke through, and the long and shrill screams of the war horses came one after another. The prairie cavalry seemed to have hit a wall of thorns, and both men and horses were pierced. , but the momentum of the forward attack remained unabated. As a result, the prairie cavalry fell off their horses, and the Long family soldiers were also knocked away by the charging horses. The prairie men who landed on the ground continued to charge forward with their scimitars brandished. There are so many, like countless people and horses stacked together, and they suddenly attack. The temporary formation of guns can only stop them for a while.

"Crush them!" A grassland Qian Dao Zhang was covered in blood. He raised the scimitar in his hand and slashed down at the Long Family flagpole less than one meter away from him. As the cavalry continued to surge up, more and more cavalry were coming. After a brief pause, the prairie people's war horses stepped directly over the Long family soldiers and broke through to the capital!

"Sir, the north side of the city wall was attacked by the grassland army. In a hurry, our army suffered heavy casualties. Some of the grassland cavalry have already rushed to the city wall!"

Long Yang had just laid down to take a rest when he was suddenly awakened by the rapid ringing of bells from the direction of the city wall, like a rainstorm. The place where he rested was in a former dignitary's residence in the city. He was also the commander of the street battles between the Long Family Army and the Prairie Army. Therefore, in order to avoid encountering the condescending bombardment of the prairie people after seizing the city wall, the location chosen was further away. By the time the situation was understood, almost half an hour had passed.

"The Prairie Army actually killed a Carabineer. I was really careless. But where are these troops of the Yelu Army hidden?"

Long Yang looked extremely serious. He was giving orders to immediately mobilize all troops to retake the city wall. Suddenly he stopped again. He looked at the soldiers who came to report to the Western Army with piercing eyes and said in a serious voice, "You just said it was the north side of the city wall? Are you sure you are not mistaken?" , if the grassland army wants to return Back to the fierce attack, we should attack the south. Why attack the north! Although the four walls of Shangjing were destroyed in the trapped city, the Yelu family's cavalry did not take the nearest south route and deliberately took a big detour to the north. , it’s really unreasonable.”

"The Prairie Army is indeed attacking from the north!" the soldier nodded affirmatively.

"Could it be the cavalry from the North King's Court?" Long Yang's thick eyebrows were tightly knitted together, and his fingers were clenched fiercely.

This was the outcome he least expected and the enemy he did not expect. If the cavalry of the Yelu family came back, he would not be worried. The Yelu army was already exhausted. Even if they used the carbine this time, they might not be able to do it. Capture Shangjing, because the city wall of Shangjing is of little significance to the Yelu Army. What really gives the Yelu Army a headache is the street fighting in the city. In order to quickly Returning to the central part to put out the fire, the Yelu Army's counterattack is destined to be short-lived, but if it is the Northern Royal Court, it is a different story. The Northern Royal Court has watched the Yanzhou battle with cold eyes, and now it suddenly invests the powerful force that has been recuperating for many days. It is inevitable that It is the result of a relentless fight to the death. With only about 10,000 exhausted Western troops currently in Beijing, it is not easy to confront the elite troops of the North Royal Court!

"The enemy's offensive is fierce. It definitely doesn't look like the Yelu Army. My subordinates suspect that it may be the North King's Court. Moreover, the enemy's early raid force is not weak. There must be a larger main force behind them. I am afraid that Shangjing cannot be defended. Please evacuate to Beijing immediately." A Western Army general covered in blood also hurriedly walked in at this moment and said to Long Yang

"No matter who it is, they can only hold on to the road to Beijing first!" Long Yang's expression returned to his cold expression, pointing to the south and saying, "Yelu Hongtai, this old fox, might be waiting for us in the south now, and even if we evacuate from Shangjing, Will the prairie cavalry let us go in the fields outside the city? "(To be continued.)
