Realm of Power

Stanreth, commander of the Fourth Cavalry Regiment of the Imperial Guard, looked calm and looked ahead with bright eyes. Under his feet was the huge wilderness spreading forward.

At dusk, the forward banner of the Yelu Army finally arrived at this long-quiet land. On the wasteland covered with shrubs, hundreds of prairie light cavalry drove out from the forest at the foothills opposite. The sound of hooves rumbled. and footsteps resounded through the foothills, soldiers and horses raised a cloud of dust,

"accelerate"

"Seize the target! There is a big reward." The cavalry captains of each department shouted loudly. As expected, after being slapped in the face, Yeluguda finally decided to take advantage of it. After learning that the target's strength was only a thousand, It was immediately decided to release all the light cavalry. As long as these light cavalry The rider bites the target, and the opponent is doomed. The flying flag rushes out from the dust and mist in the sky, spreading in two lines like a black cloud, covering an area of ​​three or four miles wide. It can be seen that more than ten people Wan's grassland army has already sent out all the light cavalry troops.

These grassland Qingqi, who had always only dared to cruise near the main force of the grassland army, are now like being given a shot of chicken blood. I heard that there is a princess from the Central and Asian royal family among them. Whoever can catch it first, Young Master Yelu The clan leader offered a reward of ten thousand gold. After receiving the order to head south desperately, he rode his horse with all his strength. He didn't worry about getting further and further away from the main force. He just wanted to catch up with him as quickly as possible.

Stanres's body on the war horse became more and more upright, and he curled his mouth coldly, taking in the scene in front of him. Yeluguda would not know that if he suddenly entered the wilderness before, the empire would indeed be a little unprepared, but after this After a period of strategic lull, the empire has already recovered its breath.

While Yelu's army was just staring at the fleeing Mingyue Yanzhou Army, the empire had already mobilized more than 30,000 imperial cavalry from the area behind the wilderness into the wilderness battlefield, plus Bertrand Bonnie's troops who were originally in the wilderness. The number of cavalry in the Wilderness Legion has exceeded 50,000, and another 50,000 troops have been withdrawn from the mountain area.

In other words, the empire's current military strength in the wilderness area has reached 100,000. In terms of military strength, it is already equal to the grassland army that is still wandering west. The reason why it has not launched a battle against the Yelu Army is on the one hand. In order to lure the other party deeper , on the other hand, was waiting for such an opportunity, waiting for the Yelu Army to be out of touch. Sure enough, when His Majesty the Emperor knew that the Mingyue Yanzhou Army had stopped without permission, in addition to blaming it for ruining the entire plan, he also saw this An excellent fighter jet that dodges by

After running for dozens of miles continuously, even an iron-clad person would be tired. Moreover, most of the Yelu family's light cavalry are tribesmen. When they reach this area at this moment, they are already exhausted and there are only a torrent of prairie cavalry. Passing across this vast land, it brought countless The dust, carried by the wind, swayed, forming a magnificent landscape in the sky. The environment in front of them made these running prairie cavalry unconsciously begin to slow down. A long ravine area appeared in front of the prairie people. The earth was here. Forming a mountain-like geographical environment,

"Attention, the whole team slows down!"

A general wearing armor shouted, with unique temples exposed on both sides of his leather helmet. This is the most powerful bodyguard of Yeluguda. There are only about a thousand people in total. Yeluguda’s personal guard is There are not many light cavalry in the army. Even if they are all sent out, they will just be scattered around. Compared with the cavalry of other tribes swarming forward, the formation of this Yelu army is undoubtedly the most orderly. As the horses slowed down, light cavalry from other tribes immediately caught up behind them, and like the wind, this Yelu army flowed from behind. Passing by both sides of the Wei River, it flooded into the canyon walkway in front of us.

Across the slope of the canyon, Stanres narrowed his eyes slightly. From a high position, he naturally saw this scene very clearly, and held his hands together.

Although he didn't know that it was the Yelu family's personal guard, he could still tell that the other party was different. Not only was the equipment the best among them, but there was also a rider at the front of the queue, holding a handle with a ring. There is a golden wave flying at the top of the gun. Under the sunset, this fluttering military flag seems to have absorbed the air. The water vapor is just heavy on the flagpole. The horses of this cavalry are also quite good. They are strong and fat. At first glance, they are good horses that can fight in heavy armor. The feather arrows in the quiver are extremely long. It looks like a heavy arrow that can break through armor. It's so cold to the eyes. This kind of equipment is simply not something that ordinary tribal cavalry can afford.

"Sir, the opponent's Qingqi has already entered three-quarters of the canyon. If you don't attack now, once the opponent rushes out of the aisle, it will be difficult to block it again." A subordinate whispered from behind with a solemn face, reminding Stanleth, Stanleth originally wanted to wait until the unique prairie cavalry entered before giving the order, but looking at the smoke and dust approaching the exit of this aisle, he knew that he could not wait any longer.

"The whole army is on horseback"

After a brief moment of confusion, Stanres raised his right hand, and three thousand Imperial Guards cavalry mounted their horses neatly. Because they were located on a high ground, no one noticed the grassland army below who was passing through the canyon walkway. A row of black imperial cavalry emerged from the slope on the side of the canyon exit,

The mouth of the canyon is the battlefield. It is necessary to rely on this unique environment to leave no room for retreat for both sides.

As long as the grassland army pours into the corridor on a large scale, even if it finds something wrong and wants to give in, it will create a chaotic situation for itself. In this way, Stares can maximize the advantage of his heavy armor.

If you had a pair of eyes in the sky at this moment, you would see such a strange scene. At the two exits of this not-so-narrow canyon walkway, the prairie cavalry and the imperial cavalry collided from both sides without any room for avoidance, like two sides. A torrent of steel poured into a furnace at the same time is destined to cause sparks to fly.

"Attention, ahead!"

The prairie light cavalry who was at the front approaching the mouth of the canyon finally sensed some troops. He heard the heavy sound of horse hooves. He originally thought it was his own, but he always felt that the troops were there. The moment he raised his eyes, he suddenly let out a cry of terror. Voice,

Then came the other prairie people, staring in front of them dumbfounded. Suddenly, countless black-armored cavalry appeared and poured into them head-on. They poured into the mouth of the canyon like a landslide and tsunami. They didn't care whether they would hit them directly or not.

"Damn it, who is this person?"

"You bastard, you can't even hide anymore."

When the prairie people saw the advancing formation of the empire's heavy cavalry running at the front, that row of heavy lances that could make people's scalp explode, no matter how courageous the prairie people were, the only thing they could think about at this moment was Just turn around and run, who is so wicked, using heavy cavalry to charge into the mouth of the canyon!

Heavy cavalry versus light cavalry are completely two levels, and they can be crushed without any suspense. Although the number of the opponent's heavy cavalry does not seem to be large, this is a canyon. The two sides are completely on the same road, with hundreds of heavy cavalry. The cavalry is enough to form an invincible advantage on a narrow surface, not to mention that behind these extremely fierce black armored heavy cavalry, a large group of black armored cavalry like dark clouds follow closely.

"Escape quickly, there is an ambush."

"What are you doing, move forward," the prairie cavalry in front was trying hard to control their horses, shouting at the top of their lungs, trying to turn their horses' heads to avoid it. The other prairie people behind had no idea what was going on, and they were clearly at the mouth of the canyon. Just in front, why did it suddenly turn back? The walkway in the canyon is only so wide. It is already good if five or six war horses can go side by side. If they can all turn around at once, the people and horses are suddenly crowded together.

"Move forward"

All kinds of chaos, the people in front want to retreat, and the people behind are still pouring in. Coupled with the impact inertia of the war horses, they have already collided with each other before the battle, and smoke and dust rise. At this moment, the Empire's heavy cavalry Like a huge rolling dragon pouring into the mouth of the canyon, the earth Trembling under the rumble of horse hooves, the triangular heavy cavalry attack line was like a huge awl, slamming into the group of prairie cavalry. Blood flew away, people turned on their backs, and the bodies of the prairie people turned into pieces like broken snowdrifts. Splashes of terrifying red,

"Puff, puff, puff!" The sound of the heavy cavalry spear rushing into the cavalry's body and the sound of broken bones. Countless spear points pointed forward. The numb spear tips flashed with the red color of blood. The yellow and white brains were mixed with blood, rolling under the impact of killing. , the iron flow of the Empire's heavy cavalry moved forward unstoppably. Rolling thirty or forty meters, he smashed and submerged the crowds of prairie people in front of him, trampled them past, and casually threw the heavy cavalry spear that could no longer be used on the ground, and pulled out the horseback weapon specially designed for slashing and killing. The heavy imperial sword continued to press forward, click! Click! Click! The light of the sword was like streaks of bright lightning, streaking across the prairie man's weak armor, and bright red blood shot out from his neck.

"What's going on ahead!"

The people in front flipped on their backs, which frightened the prairie cavalry behind them. They still haven’t figured out what happened. They saw the troops in front of them as if they were being trampled by a group of monsters, with swords and swords flashing, flesh and blood flying everywhere, and the cavalry on the horses raised their heads. He picked up his weapon and was thrown off his horse while he was shaking. He was dragged away by the horse and ran for his life behind him. It was chaos, everything was chaos! The grassland army is going crazy. It doesn't matter. The enemy didn't even see it and was disrupted like this! A black line of blood broke out from the front. The grassland people behind finally saw the enemy in front clearly. The black armor was like scales, covering both the man and the horse from the feet to the head. The cavalry above were covered in blood. Linlin, like a demon emerging from hell

"It's the Imperial Cavalry, they're ambushing us," someone yelled.

"Bastards, these cunning Imperials"

"What should I do? If we continue this chaos, everyone will die."

Those who can become tribal light cavalry are the elites of each tribe. The total number of them is five to six thousand. Otherwise, they would not dare to leave the group and rush towards the prey. Everyone is the fastest light cavalry in this vast wilderness. , even if you really encounter the Imperial Army, what can the Imperial Army do to you? But no one expected that there would be such a unique sunken walkway here. This was because they were not familiar with the terrain. If they were on a grassland where they were familiar with the situation, it would be impossible for the leading soldiers of the grassland army to rush in on their own. possible thing

"Don't mess up. The number of enemies is not necessarily greater than ours. They just took the lead with their heavy cavalry. If there is a mess, everyone will be really doomed!" The general of the Yelu family's personal guard blocked the retreat. On the way, he decisively shouted to the messenger behind him, "Now it is no longer possible to convey orders normally in the canyon. Blow the death horn and tell everyone that they must fight to the death or die here!"

"Woooo" The low sound of the horns carries a sense of wildness and sadness from the grassland. The grassland people who were beaten just now, who looked flustered and at a loss, trembled slightly when they heard the sound of the horns, and the fear in their eyes suddenly disappeared. Disappeared, replaced by burning blood,

"It's the battle cry of death!" A prairie man looked at the person behind the sound in disbelief.

"Everything is on the line, and there is absolutely no way out!" Someone murmured in a low voice with a defeated look on his face.

"Damn, fight!" The originally confused grassland army heard the sound of the grassland horns filling their ears, and unconsciously stopped the retreating horses. The hand holding the scimitar gained strength again. This is the grassland. The tribe's death battle horn is a special will instilled in them since childhood. It can only be used when the tribe is in the most critical situation. It can only be used at any time. As long as you are a tribe member, once you hear this horn sound, you must mount your horse and fight back no matter where you are, even if there is a dead end ahead. This is the call of the tribe and the persistence flowing in the blood of the prairie people. This concept has been deeply imprinted into their blood.

"Kill back, kill back immediately!"

The generals of each department also heard the sound of the horn, and rode their horses back and forth to drive their subordinates to turn back. In this narrow encounter, if the opponent really overwhelmed them in one breath, and covered them up all the way, no one would be able to see the tomorrow. The sun is shining brightly. Only by gritting one's teeth and resisting can one get a chance of survival.

Use bows and arrows to cut apart the opponent's cavalry first! "

Countless prairie light cavalry took off their prairie bows and raised them neatly towards the 45-degree sky. They could not shoot through the armor of the heavy cavalry, but it did not mean that they could not shoot through the imperial cavalry covering behind the imperial heavy cavalry. As long as they could shoot The Imperial heavy cavalry separated from the cavalry behind. The sudden attack of the Imperial heavy cavalry An attack is an unsupported blow. As long as it is blocked, it will be immediately covered and killed by the prairie cavalry that counterattacks. This tactic to deal with heavy armored troops has been successful many times when they dealt with the original Yanzhou cavalry. Now they are facing Wearing heavy armored Imperial cavalry, no matter whether it is useful or not, we can only give it a try.

"Heavy bow cavalry attack!" Stanres looked down at the changes in the grassland army in the canyon. He watched the opponent being crushed by the empire's heavy cavalry piece by piece. He still did not collapse. Instead, he organized a counterattack from behind. , while being secretly surprised, finally decided to use the decisive force. Looking at Stares's raised arm, the two thousand Imperial heavy armored archers who had been silent began to attack. (To be continued.)
