Realm of Power

"Is there any reward for the three parts of Bai Ji?"

Yeluguda's eyes fell on a prairie cavalry galloping across the field in the distance, and he asked coldly, "In late summer and early autumn, as the breeze blows, in the clear sky, large tracts gather like spider webs. The queue of prairie people was already amidst the commotion of people and horses. Shrouded in a solemn atmosphere, there were bonfires all over the mountains and fields. Patrol cavalry were moving like dragons, shuttling back and forth. The front of the camp was spread out over a wide area. Circles of wooden fences formed an extremely huge network, and the flags of various grassland ministries were displayed. Grinning in the wind,

This place is less than two hundred miles away from the border of the empire. According to the speed of the cavalry, two hundred miles is a journey of two or three days. The empire's 100,000-strong army is stationed in the wilderness and mountains. In order to deal with it, Yeluguda also ordered all the northwest ministries to deploy young men and women. Dozens of tribes gathered here, and it was the grass growing season in early autumn. There was no need to worry about the war horses having no food, and the densely packed blacksmith fires in the camp were making a tinkling sound. As soon as the sound was heard, bundles of arrowheads were piled up like mountains. The blacksmith workers received from the Central Biya region had equipped these prairie warriors with the most basic armors. The scimitars in their hands were also polished to a bright shine, and even the iron under the horses' hooves was polished. The newly relocated ones had a sense of saturation with the arrows in their quivers. With the support of materials from China and Bibia, the grassland army was no longer in the era when it was difficult to even equip iron weapons on the grasslands.

"The latest report is yesterday. Two days ago, the Baiji Division has pushed westward to the mouth of Longgu River, which is less than fifty miles away from the border." A subordinate replied respectfully, "There is nothing happening in the empire. Even the Baiji Division will move to the surrounding area." We have looted everything, and we must be on our way back now."

"Empire!"

Hearing his subordinates mention the empire, Yeluguda stared at the undulating curves of the earth in the distance, and the hand holding the riding crop made a rattling sound. Many people thought that his father Yeluhongtai handed over the difficult northern Daizhou to his sister, but left the difficult situation to his sister. Giving himself a large piece of fertile soil in the northwest is an extremely serious partiality. Several people know that the place that really makes Yelu Hongtai feel nervous is not the already weakened Northern Royal Court, but here, the northwest. ,

Although the Northern Royal Court is not a thing of the past, it is almost there. The Yelu family has already established a foothold in the best land in Central Asia. In ten years at most, the Golden Family's family, which was originally like a mountain, has been pressing on the heads of various tribes. Glory will be automatically forgotten by the grassland tribes, and this cannot be the end of the world. It's all the fault of the Yelu family. Strength speaks for itself on the grassland. Even the most glorious Golden Family has been almost exhausted by the internal fighting in the past few years. At that time, the Royal Court assembled the Dongting Eight, composed of the entire grassland elite. Army, now only the two remaining armies are still in the hands of the royal court.

The other six armies were either annihilated by the Falcon Empire coming from the west, or were consumed in the internal struggle for power in the Royal Court. The 300,000 control strings that the Royal Court claimed to have in the world have been weakened by four at this moment. three-quarters,

This time the royal army went south to Yanzhou to compete with the Yelu family, and it was so weak that it had to pay exorbitant tolls to the Falcon Empire in order to go with it. For most grassland people, the prestige of the Huanghuang family had dropped to the freezing point. Although Wang Ting gained the gate of Yanzhou, it lost the hearts of the grassland tribes.

Because the empire has opened the road to the northwest, the empire's troops in the wilderness area have conquered the northwest wilderness in just one month and captured the mountains with tens of thousands of troops. Now there are nearly 100,000 heavy troops stationed on the border. No one knows What's the Empire's next move?

It would be better for everyone if we evacuated, but if there was a war, this place would be a sea of ​​blood! For grassland people, war is a common occurrence, but against the Empire, a powerful opponent that once destroyed two legions of the Eighth Army of the East Courtyard in the north, it is impossible not to feel a little scared.

"Master Yelu's arrangement this time is too biased!" A subordinate of Yelu Guda said angrily, "Why did you let the eldest lady go to Daizhou, a stable place in the north, but send the young patriarch here! I don't believe it, sir." Can you see that Northern Daizhou seems to be located in the northern resistance area? The front line of Fang Wangting's move south may face the pressure of Wang Ting going south at any time. In fact, according to the current strength of the northern Wang Ting, there is no way it can go south! The Yelu family has not taken the initiative to move north. Wang Ting is already thankful. The difficult part is actually here..."

"That's enough. I've said it so many times. No matter how my father arranges it, it's all for the sake of the family's great cause. Naturally, there will be considerations. Do your own thing well, and everything else is useless." Yeluguda said fiercely with a cold face. With a wave of his hand, he interrupted the subordinate's complaint. There was a coldness in his tone and he said sharply.

"Whether it is Daizhou or the northwest, it is an area that cannot be lost to our Yelu family. It does not matter which one is more important. What is important is that people from my Yelu family must be here to take charge. It does not matter if it is an empire. My father gave me full power and gave me the 300,000 tribesmen who moved south. This was the strength that the Yelu family had when they went south. They didn’t even have enough armor at the time, and there were only seven or eight arrows in the quiver. Head, it is still possible to defeat hundreds of thousands of Central Bian troops. Now our army's equipment is already at the top level in the Central Bian region. Each quiver is full of twenty heavy arrows. Do we still need to be afraid of less than ten? Wan's imperial army? If they really come, I will defeat them directly and use the scimitar of my Yelu family to let them know that my Yelu family is not the Yelu family who was driven out of Onnatso by them!"

"That's right, it was the past, but if we meet again now, who is afraid of who is not sure?"

"To be honest, if the Lang Rui Army hadn't been too stupid to attack the Empire's Thunder God, who would have won that battle is still a different matter! At least in this vast grassland, I don't think anyone can truly qualify to be our grassland man. opponent!”

"Well said, that's it. I also heard that the imperial army actually set up an ambush during the retreat, which caused the Lang Rui Army to suffer a big loss. If it was a head-on battle, they would have been dealt with by the Lang Rui Army long ago. You can't even recognize them." The generals cheered loudly, with excited expressions. "Lang Ruijun brought it upon himself, and died without mercy. He has lost the reputation of our Dongting Grassland in vain."

These Yelvuguda subordinates were all tribal leaders who later joined the Yelu family. In fact, almost none of them actually experienced the war on Onnatso. Their understanding of the battle on Onnatso was only various rumors. In the rumors, Here, the imperial army was able to finally defeat the Lang Rui Army and force Yelu Hongtai to carry 300,000 tribes south. The main reason was because the imperial army had the Thunder God.

The power of the Thunder God is obvious to everyone. It is a weapon that can truly destroy fortresses. Even the strong-walled city that the Central Asians have repaired for many years cannot withstand the bombardment of the Empire's Thunder God.

Everyone believed that with the weapons of the Imperial Army, it was understandable that the Yelu family would wisely avoid the danger for the time being. Seeing the excited tribal leaders around them, some remained silent. Most of them were the Yelu family who had experienced the Battle of Onnacuo. old man,

Others don't know how terrifying the imperial army's combat power is, but they still know better, because when the empire shocked the entire grassland in the Battle of Onnatso, the Yelu family not only participated in it, but also watched that battle from beginning to end. The Imperial Army is not retreating, but a real raging fire is pouring in from the border.

The Lei Army, which is said to be ranked among the top three in terms of combat power among the Eighth Army, was first defeated by the Imperial Army, and then failed in a sneak attack. With its combat power severely damaged, the Lei Army withdrew. Five thousand wolf cavalry, known for their ferocious assaults, were then lured into Luo All the people in the ancient highland were killed in the battle, and the heads of the Gootoulang were put in boxes and sent to Yelu's house.

Other tribes would not have thought that in the tragic decisive battle between the Lang Rui Army and the Imperial Army, the 50,000 Lang Rui Army, which could make the Yelu family dare not raise their heads, was actually completely defeated by the Empire in almost two hours. A large part of them were also hunted down by the Yelu family.

Many people believe that the Lang Rui Army was destroyed because they took the initiative to attack the Imperial Army. In fact, how did they know that even if they did not actively attack the Imperial Army, at that time, the Lei Army quietly withdrew and the Yelu family encouraged the tribes to rebel. , the Langrui army had no choice but to fight. At that time, all the tribes were frightened. Only then was the Yelu family coerced to go south, but with the rise of the Yelu family, their power became more and more powerful. There have already been various explanations for the shameful history of Onnacuo. Anyway, they were basically deliberately belittling Lang Ruijun. To weaken the Imperial Army and elevate the Yelu family's version, those who know the original truth will basically not tell it.

"I just received the news that the Baiji tribe has suffered an encounter. The two Baijijiluo tribes suffered heavy losses, and the Kudia tribe leader was seriously injured." Just as Yeluguda turned around, a panting subordinate came up from behind and brought a News that makes everyone take a breath,

"Is the Imperial Army taking action?" Yeluguda frowned tightly and clenched his five fingers fiercely.

"How many people are there in the imperial army?" asked a clan leader, and everyone else's eyes were all looking at Yelu Guda's subordinates. They all knew that although the three Baiji tribes were all small tribes, all of them were mobilized this time. He is the young man in the clan, and it is not easy to defeat the three tribes. This sweep westward along the river is actually to test the empire's reaction to the northwest. Although he has plans for possible encounters, it is really Just hearing it is enough to make people nervous. No matter how bad the empire is, after all, it is a powerful country that made the Eighth Army of Dongting lose both armies. Thunder gods, heavy ballistae, heavy cavalry, and crossbow cavalry are all rumored Weapons of war undoubtedly represent the pinnacle of weapons and equipment in this era. In this regard, the imperial army can surpass the ordinary grassland tribes by several blocks, that is, the elite Baihe Army of the Yelu family may be able to compete with them!

"Not the Imperial Army!"

"What! Not the Imperial Army?"

"Are you kidding me? Are the Baiji Tribes defeated by the civilians of Zhongbia? We heard that the Baiji Tribes got hundreds of thousands of trophies this time!" The clan leaders were in an uproar. This joke was a bit too much. Okay, could it be that Baiji Sanbu were defeated by their own trophies? This is definitely the funniest joke among prairie people this year

"Tell me clearly what's going on!"

Even Yeluguda was stunned. He looked at his pale subordinates with eyes like knives. When his subordinates said that the Baiji Tribe was defeated by a Central Asian cavalry, the surrounding area was already in a state of explosion. Are you kidding me? Everyone knows what the Central Asians are like. They are a bunch of cowards. Moreover, the Zhongbia court has already ordered all the Zhongbia troops north of the river to withdraw to the south bank. Now there is not a single soldier from Zhongbia on the entire north bank, let alone a cavalry team that can defeat three thousand elite grassland soldiers. There must be a mistake, how could such an impossible thing happen!

"Bring the messenger immediately, I want to ask in person," Yeluguda said loudly and angrily. There was silence all around. As the messenger sent from the Baiji tribe was brought, and as Yeluguda's words came out, everyone The psychological expectations were quickly washed away and peeled off!

"How many enemies are there?"

"It's not clear who defeated the Kudia tribe, but we only encountered about a thousand!" "The enemy was almost chasing the Kudia tribe's defeated army... The enemy's attack was extremely fierce, and our outer blocking line was almost penetrated by one blow... The enemy was too fierce, and our army could not stop it at all. As a last resort, the chief had to order the withdrawal of the battlefield"

It was really the Central Asian cavalry... The tribal chiefs around looked at each other. Although they did not see it with their own eyes, after the messenger said so, everyone could be sure that the elite of the three Baiji tribes, with a total of 3,000 people, were defeated by a thousand Central Asian cavalry. Yes, it was an unbelievable continuous defeat. The enemy first defeated the Kudia tribe they encountered, and then rushed over without stopping, directly killing the Baiji tribe, and even took away hundreds of thousands of Central Asian slaves. It can be imagined that they were absolutely scared at the time;

Shame! , They were actually defeated by a Central Asian cavalry! Everyone's eyes turned to Yelu Guda, who had a sullen face. As the young patriarch of the Yelu family, he was a grassland hero who broke through the obstruction of 200,000 Central Asian troops and slaughtered the Central Asian capital Linhang. At this moment, he was slapped in the face by a Central Asian cavalry that appeared out of nowhere!

"Send all the scouts, and the whole army will go west! Let's go meet this Central Asian cavalry!" Yelu Guda's expression has changed from anger and rage to ferociousness. He raised his hand to everyone and shouted "Yes!" The tribal leaders answered in unison, and the huge grassland army camp began to move. Teams of light cavalry were already rushing to the west, and the horses' hooves tore the wilderness! After learning that there was a Central Asian cavalry in the west, the morale of tens of thousands of grassland troops suddenly exploded. Kill, kill all these Central Asians. The cavalry stretched westward like a black line. Under the gloomy sky, the flags fluttered. The scouts and light cavalry sent out were like a big net, vowing to cut off this Central Asian sword that suddenly appeared and capture it.
