Realm of Power

Under the autumn morning sky, close to the Shirakaba Valley in the western part of the Imperial Wilderness, a group of cavalry spread out two vertical lines along the westward valley to both wings, guarding a long team in the middle slowly heading westward. The baggage weighed on hundreds of carriages, and tens of thousands of people followed this convoy.

The number of escorting cavalry was not large. In front of this huge team, it seemed that they were not enough to "tap". A fast rider ran up from behind quickly, and immediately someone looked nervously towards the east.

"Are the prairie people coming up?"

"I don't know, it shouldn't be that fast!"

"It's hard to say, the prairie people are all cavalry!"

"Let's go. If you don't leave, you'll die!"

"But what should you do, Your Highness the Princess? Who are we?"

"Idiot, don't worry about him. If he is willing to die with this Mingyue Yanzhou Army, just let him die." The voices of discussion can't be suppressed even if they are suppressed. In this queue, more people are Leaving the team, they might be a few or a dozen people, dragging their families with them, and carrying with them the food and supplies snatched from the slow baggage trains. They just dispersed into the wilderness in groups, making it difficult for those who were traveling quickly nearby. The cavalry shouted peace, but still could not stop this situation,

As the grass in front obviously began to decrease, revealing large tracts of light yellow land, the people in the team began to consciously look from behind them.

In order to encourage tens of thousands of Central Bians to go with her, Princess Mingyue could not control so much. After knowing that the leader of this army was the famous Princess Mingyue, most of the Central Bians still chose to follow Mingyue, but With this choice, as the Yelu Army becomes increasingly pressing behind them, more and more people have chosen to leave the brigade.

A queue of tens of thousands of people is too conspicuous. On the contrary, in such a vast area, a small queue is not easy to find. People always have a sense of luck. The Yelu family is obviously heading towards Mingyue Yanzhou Army, so let Mingyue The Yanzhou army went to attract the grassland people. In response to Princess Mingyue's insistence, the army commander Bai Wufeng originally wanted to use military orders. Chased by hundreds of thousands of grassland cavalry, he led tens of thousands of civilians to escape. Isn't this a joke?

"What does it mean to abandon their people in order to escape for their lives? If the Zhongbia royal family had not abandoned the Yanzhou Army Group, you would not be in this situation, and Zhongbia would not be in this situation either!" Princess Mingyue looked at her. It was so cold that it was terrifying. Thinking that this woman had experienced a catastrophe in the imperial capital that was several times bloodier than the battlefield, Bai Wufeng was also embarrassed and speechless. However, he is still a soldier, and he is still worried about what happened to the Yanzhou Army. Now he can only nod his head in agreement, "Well, since Her Highness the Princess insists, let's take these people on the road together, but the ugly words must be said clearly. Once the grassland army approaches fifty miles, no matter what, I will order these people to be abandoned, because I cannot use a mere thousand people to stop the grassland army of hundreds of thousands."

"Fifty miles away, it shouldn't be long. The grassland people should have found our direction by now!"

Bai Wufeng stopped his horse, sighed secretly, and looked deeply at the speeding rider.

Now he also realized that he had been trapped by Princess Mingyue. The materials on the baggage vehicles were taken away casually, and no one took care of the people who left. Princess Mingyue may not have thought about taking these tens of thousands of people safely. Instead of running away, they scattered all the way, using themselves as bait to cover the escape of these people.

"Sir, the grassland army has captured some scattered civilians and has passed the Linggu, which is eighty miles away."

Captain Xunqi who caught up behind said in a solemn voice, this is a full-time guard scout captain of the Yanzhou Army, his name is Huluo. This is not the traditional name of the Zhongbi people. In fact, Huluo's ancestors were not Zhongbi. Asians, but prairie people from the grasslands,

During the most glorious period of the Qin Empire, the Zhongbia people once invaded more than a thousand miles north, which directly led to the split of the Golden Family. Some members of the Golden Family chose to move west to avoid Zhongbia, while others chose to move westward. Choosing to surrender to the Qin Empire, every year not only The Qin Empire paid tribute to war horses, as well as warriors captured in various wars. These people were named "Tiger" by the Qin Emperor. With the collapse of the Qin Empire and the change of dynasties, the descendants of the original tigers were incorporated into the Yan Empire. The state army has been hereditary for generations and is called Yanzhou Fengqi in the Yanzhou area.

This is the most elite light cavalry of the Yanzhou Group. It has been hereditary for generations. Although it is only a middle- and lower-level officer, in the Yanzhou Army, even the generals must show respect to a wind cavalry, because they are the eyes through which the army sees the enemy. Chasing the whereabouts of the prairie cavalry, every Yanzhou Fengqiu is an elite daredevil who has experienced hundreds of battles. They have been studying the prairie people since they were young. The knowledge accumulated over countless generations makes them known as the living map of the prairie. There is water and pasture there

When Yanzhou was at its peak, the number of Fengqi in Yanzhou definitely did not exceed 500 households. At its lowest, there were only more than a hundred Fengqi left. They were a more valuable fighting force than Yanzhou's heavy cavalry. Grassland People have always offered huge sums of money to buy the heads of the descendants of these grassland traitors. If someone kills Fengqi, it will only be a matter of time. You can become a grassland centurion with just one head. This shows that the grassland people hate Yanzhou Fengqi, which is also the capital of Yanzhou Army Group to suppress the grassland for three hundred years. Until the Yanzhou Army Group was destroyed, Yanzhou Fengqi even more Almost all of the key targets who were strangled died, and this kind of bounty gradually faded out of other people's memories.

If the grassland people knew that there was a Yanzhou Fengqi who slipped through the net in this remote wilderness, they would not hesitate even if they paid ten times the price.

Because these Yanzhou Wind Riders are too familiar with the grassland tribes. In which months, that tribe returns to a certain place to cultivate and recuperate. In which months, they will follow that river to graze. They are more powerful than the most powerful iron kites in the grassland royal court. A tough soldier is a top soldier who can carry only a small amount of supplies and penetrate more than a hundred miles in one breath to track down the prairie people without being discovered.

The greatest high mobility of the grassland army is inescapable in front of them.

"Our direction has been exposed, Yelu Army's scouts are advancing very fast," Hu Luo said in a hoarse voice.

"Eighty miles, so close?"

Bai Wufeng frowned slightly. Eighty miles was already a very dangerous distance. He didn't expect the grassland army to bite so tightly.

After listening to Hu Luo's report with a serious look, he turned around and rode his horse to Princess Mingyue and said, "Your Highness, everything that needs to be done has been done. You asked us to use us as bait to cover the escape of these civilians. We also did it, but the situation It looks very bad. The Emperor has abandoned Tianlang City and the Yelu Army is almost gone. It was pressing all the way to the west, and now we have discovered that the distance in our hearts is eighty miles. If we continue at this speed, I am afraid that we will be encountered by the Yelu family's scouts before dark. If we find that we don’t have many troops, the other side will definitely pounce on us after night.”

"How many people are left now?"

Princess Mingyue's eyes flashed, and her pretty face glanced at the sky sternly. It was almost noon. Using herself as bait was a last resort. There was no other way. Otherwise, these tens of thousands of people would not survive at all. The opportunity, anyway, Bai Wufeng's Most of the Yanzhou Army were cavalry, and most of them were running away. However, the situation in front of her was a bit surprising. The civilians from Zhongbia who had thought they would disperse automatically on the way actually followed her. Once they were covered by the prairie people, she could Run, what to do with these people?

"There are still about 30,000 people." Bai Wufeng took a deep breath, glanced at the increasingly sparse and long queue behind him, and couldn't help but said, "Although many people ran away, there are still many left, mainly because this is In an unfamiliar area, many people still follow behind them despite being unfamiliar with the situation."

"Where's the Empire? Is there any news from the Empire? The Empire asked us to evacuate towards Tad Mountain. There must be no news at all!" Princess Mingyue's eyes were full of bloodshot eyes, and her hand holding the reins of the war horse couldn't help but tighten. , this is the scope of the empire. Doesn’t the empire have no support at all?

"Not yet." Bai Wufeng shook his head with an ugly face. Along the way to the west, the empire did not give much explanation, but faintly, everyone still hoped in their hearts that the empire would make arrangements, but no, this There was none all the way, as if they had been completely forgotten. Is the empire really afraid of the Yelu family?

"It's better to rely on others than to rely on yourself!" Princess Mingyue's eyes flashed, and she bit her lip with her teeth. "Immediately send an order to go down and all the cavalry to stop."

"Your Highness, what are you going to do!" Bai Wufeng was frightened by this order.

"What else can we do? We have nothing to rely on. Now we can only rely on ourselves. We don't want everyone to die. The only way is to lure away these grassland army scouts." Princess Mingyue said firmly, "Take my royal talisman." Bring it here so that the prairie people will know clearly who their target is."

Bai Wufeng was silent for more than ten seconds, then waved his hand to a subordinate behind him, "All cavalry will stay."

The grassland people are coming, and there are hundreds of thousands of them. This news has already spread during the mobilization and evacuation last night. This news is like a big mountain, which makes everyone breathless. They look at the cavalry outside. He started to stop and watched the convoy passing by these cavalrymen. Even the most careless child felt something at this time and stopped playing. He sat on the baggage car and pursed his lips tightly. The convoy was so slow that it made people feel hopeless. The cavalry guarding both sides kept moving towards the back.

Among these people were not only the tens of thousands of Central Asians who had been brought back, but also tens of thousands of family members of Mingyue Yanzhou Army. The order to stay and cover was silently carried out.

"Don't worry, I will be back."

A Yanzhou Army cavalry member smiled and rubbed his child's face. \u0026中文\u0026Novel.., Chinese, novel... "中文" novel.. stretched out a warm and rough hand, touched the child's face, rode the horse back, the wind howled, and the blood that hit his face was also ,

"Will they survive?

"I don't know, I hope!"

"That woman is..."

"Princess Mingyue, Princess Mingyue!"

The queue cheered and moved forward slowly. Under the gaze of tens of thousands of people, a woman wearing a long dress holding a Sino-Biya Festival banner was blown by the wind like a shooting star with its tail hanging in the sky. The raised talisman stood there proudly. Behind the woman, more and more Yanzhou cavalry began to stop their horses. The plain wind howling under the horses' hooves stirred up the grass and shrubs as high as the horse's legs and wrists, like a picture. The huge carpet is touched by invisible hands,

This scene actually made the pessimistic Zhongbia people feel wet in their eyes. Did the Yanzhou war cavalry that gathered under the Zhongbia King's flag and swept across the northern grassland tribes also see such a scene?

"If the emperor of Zhongbia had half the responsibility of this woman, Zhongbia would not be in such a situation!"

In the direction where no one was paying attention, Bai Wufeng looked at this scene with flashing eyes. He sighed helplessly and waved his hand secretly to a confidant behind him. The situation was unexpected. Although he could stop it, it was... Why can't I give this order?

Soon, a small black dot began to flutter up and merge into the sky.

An hour later, an imperial guard captain took a secret report he had just received and hurriedly came to the emperor who was looking at the wilderness map in front of him. He said in a solemn voice, "Your Majesty, something unexpected happened. Princess Mingyue suddenly ordered everyone. All the Yanzhou cavalry stayed where they were, apparently they wanted to use themselves as bait to lure away the Yelu army!"

"What the hell, where is Bai Wufeng? Are you going crazy with her too?"

The fat man raised his head unexpectedly. After reading the report, he frowned slightly. This secret report was naturally sent by Bai Wufeng. It was used as a bait to attract more than 100,000 Yelu troops. How could the fat man let Princess Mingyue know nothing? After all, the Mingyue Yanzhou Army is still an army of the empire, and the large army of the Prairie Army is overwhelming. It seems quite powerful, but in fact it has made a huge mistake, that is, this is the wilderness of the empire, not the grassland of the prairie people. Here, the empire is the master, even if there are hundreds of thousands of prairie people. The military strength is blind to the geographical environment of the wilderness, and they are just fooling around based on their momentum.

Judging from the map, if Yeluguda is really focused on chasing the Yanzhou Mingyue Army fleeing to the west, then at this moment it has greatly deviated from the westward direction and is heading southwest. I'm afraid Yeluguda himself would never have thought that the empire and him They played a trick. From the moment they let go of Tianlang City, they wanted to let the hundreds of thousands of grassland troops go towards the southwest. Princess Mingyue didn't know this, but Bai Wufeng, who was born in the Tianlang Army, was You know, if you come up with this now, it messes up the whole plan.

"Which troop is closest to them now?"

The fat man asked in a muffled voice with an annoyed expression. In order for the grassland army to follow its own route, the empire had to make some arrangements. No one could tell what happened on the battlefield. Maybe Yelu Guda, a stupid young man, would wake up in an instant. , so the imperial army has arrangements along the way to deal with the possibility of the grassland army suddenly changing its route (to be continued.)
