Realm of Power

With the information sent back by the search scouts, Yue Shan's face became more and more gloomy. The more than ten thousand Yanzhou Army family members could not be found. How is this possible? Yue Shan's hand holding the information tightened. There were hundreds of thousands of people there. Yanzhou was so big, where could they go?

What is certain is that when Wang Ting evacuated, he did not take the hundreds of thousands of Yanzhou military relatives with him. It was not that Wang Ting did not want to take them away, but the progress of Yelu Qiyeguang's attack was too fast. It only took more than ten days. He hit Yanzhou in one go On the outskirts of Beijing, the royal court was eager to dispatch troops from the grassland. How could it care about those slaves in Central Asia? Even if Yeluguda was killed, the royal court would not lead the Long family army who poured into Yanzhou. Let’s go to those hundreds of thousands of Yanzhou military dependents to hold us back.

"Sir, if the royal court didn't take them away, would it be the Long family..." Adjutant Fei Tang's face was as cold as frost, and he gritted his teeth and hesitated. Halfway through, he couldn't continue. He was just Yan. Born as a middle- and lower-level officer in the state army,

When Yue Shan broke out from Yanzhou, he still took away 20,000 to 30,000 Yanzhou military dependents. However, a middle- and lower-level officer like him would not be able to take away their respective military dependents under those circumstances. To say that Yue Shan was anxious, he was even more worried. I was so anxious that I ate all the food I could, and along the way I saw countless people from the northwest freezing to death and starving to death. It would be no exaggeration to say that the scene was even more miserable than the situation in the northwest.

In the northwest, at least the corpses that died of freezing and starvation were still intact, but since entering Yanzhou, the situation reported by the scouts has become very cruel.

Most of the corpses found along the way were incomplete, especially the corpses with two legs missing. At first, people didn’t care about it, but the more they found, the more they knew what was going on. The refugees in the northwest were heading north all the way. I thought I could find something to eat when I entered Yanzhou, but I didn’t know that Yanzhou was completely in ruins. When a person is so hungry, even if he was once a strong person, he is now just a skin covered with a layer of bones, and the only thing he can eat is some shredded meat. It’s just the legs. In order to persevere, the people in the northwest have begun to eat dead bodies.

The people in the northwest have nothing to eat, and even the hundreds of thousands of Yanzhou military dependents have nothing to eat.

The Long family's 300,000 people went south from Yanzhou, and they would rather take the burden of millions of refugees from northwest China with them. However, they seemed to have forgotten the families of the Yanzhou army who were bullied by hundreds of thousands of conservative grassland people. It can be seen that in Long Poyan's Here, these Yanzhou people and the Zhongbia people are completely different things.

Even the Southwest Long Family, who are also guarding the same side, have such an attitude. It shows how unpopular Yanzhou is in the eyes of Zhongbia. Yanzhou is barren and has never developed production when the royal court controlled it. Even if the area was originally a field, Central Asians were not allowed to plant it. Instead, they were turned into wilderness pastures to raise horses. The Yelu family attacked Yanzhou, causing more destruction along the way. Now there are millions of Central Asians in the northwest, and locusts are passing through. After such a sweep, what else can be left to fill Yanzhou’s stomach? After so many days without food, are they all starving to death? Still has been silenced!

This is what Yue Shan and Fei Tang are most worried about. The Yanzhou military has been ignored by no one since the royal court retreated. Although there are hundreds of thousands of people, it is really nothing in front of the millions of refugees from the northwest. , and the Long family also rested for half a month after entering Yanzhou. During this half month, only the Long family themselves know what the Long family did in Yanzhou! For the sake of living, to reduce the burden, and to find a morsel of food for the refugees in the northwest, who dares to say that the Long family would not issue a killing order for these hundreds of thousands of Yanzhou army subordinates!

This kind of thing has not never happened in the history of the Long family. Because of the operation of the Zhongbia court, some of the Long family's Western Army accepted the title of flattery army from the court. The Long family secretly executed those who were under the influence of the court. The flattering officers bribed by the court This is also the reason why although the Fengcheng Army comes from the Long Family Western Army system, it has always been a mortal enemy of the Long Family Western Army. This is true even for the colleagues who fought with them, not to mention that they have always been looked down upon by Zhongbia. Yanzhou Army

"Looking for them, even if we turn over the mountains of Yanzhou, we must find them!

For three consecutive days, there was no news. Yue Shan's face was ferocious and his eyes were blood red. He really didn't dare to think about the most terrifying situation. The adjutant Fei Tang couldn't sit still and personally said, "Please let me lead the team in person." Let's search. As a former Yanzhou officer, he became a scout at the age of sixteen and led a team at the age of twenty-six. He has never been to any place in Yanzhou. He is more familiar with the terrain of Yanzhou than the imperial scouts. Know something”

"Thank you!" Yue Shan looked at Fei Tang, nodded, and said in a solemn voice, "Everyone is from the Yanzhou Army. I won't mention many of them. Please be sure to find them."

"Don't worry, sir, I will do my best!" Fei Tang took a deep breath, nodded and left with some of the cavalry.

Daizhou, Longshi Castle

The night is like a huge curtain covering the sky and the earth, but under the reflection of countless firelights on the ground, the color of the black sky also shows a dim lead, and the shouts of killing that shake the world continue in the wilderness, coming from generations. State Grassland Army The strong rush of the front line was like a ferocious wave hitting a huge wall piled up by people. Every time it hit and shattered, blood splashed. The 300,000 Long family army had their backs against Dragonstone Castle, and the people in front were crushed. The prairie cavalry dispersed, and the people behind immediately attacked them.

"Hold on, don't retreat!"

"Hold on"

It was like a flood of voices and shouts. Team leader Luo Wei was still pushing the shield in front of him. His companions stabbed their spears from the top and bottom of the shield, and saw a prairie war horse trying to cross over with blood gushing out and letting out a long hiss. The prairie man above was thrown down hard, like an iron butt hitting the ground.

"kill"

Luo Wei rushed forward and chopped off the prairie man's head with a knife. He felt his face go cold. The cold light of a scimitar almost grazed his cheek at the same time.

"Pay attention"

"On the left, the prairie people are coming up from the left."

Luo Wei heard shouts from the side, and as soon as he turned his head, he saw an arrow from the side piercing his companion's neck. The cold metal arrow came out from the other end of the neck, and blood surged like a fountain. The spurted plasma splashed onto his face with boiling heat. He didn't know what was happening on the side, but the sea of ​​people was retreating, getting lower and lower as they retreated. The soldiers who were retreating like him layer by layer were hit by the whizzing arrows and fell to the ground. The entire queue was collapsing. The thunderous sound of horse hooves from the side was heard by him at this moment. in the ear

"The side is coming up!"

"Why are there prairie people on the side?"

"No retreat, we have no retreat."

"The general flag collapsed! How could the general flag collapse?" This was the last sight of Luo Wei, who fell to the ground with three arrows in his body. In a state of confusion, he stretched out his hand towards the collapsed military flag, his voice already hoarse, Surrounded by crowds of fleeing figures, the smell of blood makes one's heart feel greasy.

In the blink of an eye, a huge plume of smoke and dust rose up. Human bodies and horse bodies rolled and twisted on the ground, and six or seven horses collided in a series. The Long family soldiers beside them who were not running fast enough were directly involved. These prairie armored cavalry who rushed over, five or six Match a group, rush in, and immediately Some were stabbed off their horses by spears, but most of them were running at high speed, knocking the entire team apart at once. The crazy collision of the horses can sometimes scare a group of people, even those who have been through battle for a long time. Veterans shudder at such behavior.

This kind of fighting style is completely life-threatening. The crazy collision makes the third army in charge of the flank completely unable to resist. The black cavalry surges over from a distance like a thunderous force. Flesh and blood are flying, and the ground under their feet changes. It turned into an eye-catching blood red. At this moment, the only thing that every Long family blood army could think about was brandishing weapons. Amidst the screams, some people were having their arms and heads chopped off. Blood was splattered half a day high, and the ground turned into red,

In the dark sky in the distance, countless red light spots rise like meteors. They are the flaming arrows of the prairie army thrown towards this side. The person hit by the arrow screams miserably, and his body is on fire rolling on the ground. In the distance, the military flag representing the Long Family's Third Army also collapsed in the light of the fire. The battle was as overwhelming as a gorgeous arc, and it plunged fiercely into the crowd of Long family soldiers, hitting the masses of flesh, and pierced into the flesh hard, bringing up a cloud of blood mist, and the thin blood army of the Long family The leather armor could not block the heavy arrows from the grassland at all. It was like hitting a huge sharp blade that swept past, and the blood exploded.

After the blood bravery subsides, fatigue will come back

The fighting on the battlefield, the conflict between life and death, can make people try their best every time, not to mention the natural inferiority of infantry against cavalry attacks.

Most of the Long Family's Third Army is the Blood Army of the Long Family recruited from the northwest. Although they are fierce and brave in fighting against the grassland people, the shortcomings of their lack of combat experience are also obvious. Many soldiers have not even completed their formation. Then they began to face the most brutal and powerful prairie war cavalry. These Long family blood troops were full of enthusiasm, but their fighting ability was not strong.

"Let's go! Let's go! Disperse quickly"

The officers of the Long family shouted loudly while running, with arrows stuck in their shoulders, shouting loudly. The battlefield was so chaotic that it was difficult to distinguish the front and rear, and it was even more chaotic to form a formation. If it was a frontal battlefield, how could they still survive by relying on their strength? The superiority in numbers exhausted the powerful enemy, but they faced the prairie cavalry who cut from the side with precision like a razor.

This kind of disorder in the battle caused the entire front side to collapse in one fell swoop. Countless prairie armored cavalry drove in like nails, and what followed was a large area of ​​bloody wounds. Not to mention that at night when the vision is extremely short, the high mobility of the prairie cavalry is like the god of death emerging from hell in the dark night.

By the time they had time to react, countless fire arrows had been thrown into the air. The war horses were running like thunder, and their flying hooves accelerated to the limit. The high-speed impact of the armored heavy cavalry was like a cluster of arrows being shot in hard. It was not something that the flesh and blood of the Long family's blood army could stop. The entire defense line was turned upside down by the impact, and the stumps and broken arms were flying.

The hooves of the galloping horses trampled the fallen people into pulp. Even though the Long family soldiers desperately used their weapons to chop and poke at the galloping horses, heavy and sharp swords and axes struck at the armor of the horses, the grassland cavalry riding on the horses. The machete was also flying and slashed on the head of the Long family soldier who died in the battle. Half of it was cut off, and the brain mixed with blood and skull fragments flew onto the body of the Long family soldier next to him.

The horseshoes and scimitars of the prairie people, at this moment, tore into pieces the Long family army's will to take revenge. Under the horseshoes, there was the broken Long family military flag, which was trampled fiercely and trampled into the bloody quagmire on the ground. , after the armored cavalry at the front crazily embedded itself into the Long family army like a sea of ​​people in front,

More and more, densely packed prairie light cavalry came in like wolves.

"The flank is over." The cold wind howled and beat on Long Po's face. The other generals of the Long family were silent and looked ugly and frightened. According to the original plan, using Dragon Stone Castle as the base, with three hundred thousand dragons The family army's taking turns fighting would definitely consume most of the prairie people's troops, but no one expected that the prairie army would actually be divided into two fronts! If it is during the day with a better view, there will be no problem not to mention the two lines, but the third and fourth lines. But now it is night. Thinking of this, the generals feel chills on their backs. There is no doubt that the decisive battle will be postponed until night. , this is the prairie people’s trap

The prairie people who have always been accustomed to fighting with cavalry assaults are simply unpredictable in the dark night. They may appear from any place and any direction at any time and launch a full-line attack. As infantry, they must form formations in order to cope with the cavalry assault. , this is the biggest weakness. The grassland people obviously know this very well. When they cannot form a formation, no matter how brave the infantry is, they cannot resist the attack and massacre of the cavalry.

"Sir, please give the order to retreat to Dragonstone Castle." A Long family general looked at the lonely and proud head of the family, Long Po, and said with an unbearable expression, "In any case, the prairie people who are invincible in the field can be forced to the point where they have to use For the sake of this trick, for those who have always been affected by the prairie For Zhongbia, who is suppressed by people, we are already proud enough. Even if we lose this battle, the losses of our army are not enough to break our bones. Moreover, Dragonstone Castle is still in our hands, and the strategic initiative is still in our hands. We can prepare it at any time before heading south! "

"Are you planning to go south again?" Long Po looked away from the collapsed front, turned back with a stern expression, and curled his lips slightly, "If possible, I certainly hope to have more time to prepare, but we don't have that much time, Yan As you all know, the situation in the state has reached the point where people cannibalize people. An army of 300,000 soldiers marched south, and even more All the edible food has been used. You should know what the millions of people behind are eating now. We are here to survive. If we can't survive, then we might as well die here! Order, mobilize the cavalry of our headquarters to attack. Since the prairie people have played all their trump cards, it’s our turn!”

Hearing Long Po's words, the generals lowered their heads with strange expressions. Yanzhou had already eaten all the grass roots. Even the grass roots were dug out and eaten. Eating corpses was unstoppable, but thinking about the millions of hungry people behind them now, The generals also shuddered. They really couldn't figure out how the Long family sent troops to the northwest to regain Yanzhou, and now they are going south to Daizhou. On the surface, they looked so prosperous and high-spirited, but in fact, how could they have ended up in this situation? ? (To be continued.)
