Realm of Power

Aren’t you talking about the Yelu family’s caravan? Then what are these imperial ballistae!

Who in all of Central Asia doesn't know that the Imperial Ballista, a battlefield weapon that can penetrate heavy armor with one arrow even from a distance of two to three hundred meters, has always been the Empire's signature weapon and a symbol of the Empire's powerful force. It is also a weapon to deal with the cavalry groups of nomadic people on the grassland.

I don’t know how many warriors of the Lang Rui Army were shot to death in the Onnacuo Grassland.

Seeing the Imperial Ballista, which was only equipped by the Empire's elite, appearing in the convoy below, Wusugu knew that he had hit an iron plate this time. He had also heard something about the Imperial Ballista. There were several Most of the powerful leaders of the empire united and made a request to the imperial merchants to purchase this kind of weapon. On the spot, the face of the imperial merchant, who was respected as a distinguished guest by all the ministries, was frightened. He said bluntly that he I haven't heard anything, and you haven't said anything. It's best not to mention it in the future, otherwise as long as a trace of news spreads back to the empire, not only will I be arrested by the imperial government, but also my entire family will be arrested. Kill, don't look at my strong strength in Zhongbia. In fact, I am a slightly better role in the empire's business world. How dare I touch something that even the Twelve Deacons of the Business Alliance dare not touch!

And Wu Gusu didn't think that he would have anything to do with the Imperial Ballista. But now, he felt that the whole world had collapsed. How could the Imperial Ballista appear here!

"Where's that Kurui? Capture him."

Wusugu's hysterical face was full of hatred, and his eyes were bloodshot. Looking at the groups of Katiba cavalry who were turning on their backs, the intestines in his stomach turned green with regret, and he clenched his fists fiercely. , shouted angrily

"Chief, Kurui ran away just now!" A Qianqi Commander from the Katiba Tribe next to him reminded him with an ugly expression.

"What! You ran away?" Wusugu was suddenly startled, his face as white as paper. If he didn't know that he had been deceived by now, Wusugu would really be a deaf and blind man.

"When, why didn't you stop him! Wusugu asked angrily and loudly

"Just when the patriarch ordered the cavalry to charge," the Qianqi Commander of the Katiba Tribe paused, took a deep breath, and then continued, "The changes just now confused everyone. When they react, When I arrived, I discovered that the businessman Kurui was missing. His subordinates asked about it and found out Just when the lord ordered the cavalry to charge, Kurui retreated on the grounds that the killing scene was too bloody. Without the lord's order, the guards next to him did not dare to stop him. Everyone knows that this businessman has been very aggressive these days. How dare we little people try to stop Mr. Patriarch’s guest! "

"Anza, what do you mean?"

Wu Gusu looked at the Qianqi leader angrily. He was also the leader of the clan after all. How could the other party talk to him like this? You must know that the hierarchy concept in the prairie tribe is very strong. Under normal circumstances, a Qianqi leader If the cavalry leader dares to mock the clan leader in this way, he will be cut off and left to dry on the flag on the top of the tent.

"It's not interesting. Is the patriarch still thinking about this now? If it were me, it would be better to worry more about how to deal with this situation." The Qianqi leader curled his lips slightly with disdain and did not mention Wu Su at all. In ancient times,

The Wusugu in front of him was able to become the leader of the Katiba tribe because he was pushed to the position by several big nobles in the tribe. He had no capable subordinates worth relying on at all. The situation was precarious like Wusugu's before. No one is willing to follow him and become the leader of a clan without any foundation. To put it bluntly, he is just a puppet controlled by the great nobles in the clan. Does this idiot really think of himself as the clan leader? I didn’t even think about it. This time the Katiba tribe climbed up the big tree of Fengtai tribe, and it was inevitable to fall out with the Yelu family. The adults in the tribe also needed someone from the Wusu family who was on good terms with the Yelu family. Come to support the facade

"Yes, to attack the empire's caravan, it would be better for the patriarch to think about how to calm down the empire's anger!" Another Qianqi leader sneered.

"Assholes, you..."

Wusugu staggered and almost fainted from anger on the horse.

The 10,000 Katiba cavalrymen who launched the attack were all borrowed from a few big nobles in the clan. They originally wanted to use them to establish their authority, but they didn't expect to fall directly into this situation. In the big pit, a puppet was temporarily supported. How had he ever faced such a situation?

Although these Qianqi captains from various nobles called him the patriarch, in fact, few of them really listened to him. Wusugu's face turned red with frustration, but there was nothing he could do about it. He knew that he If he ordered the cavalry to chop off the heads of these two thousand cavalry commanders who despised him, I would be afraid that it would be his own head that would be chopped off.

It seems that the several big nobles in the clan have begun to fight for power. It is not that these Qianqi Commanders are afraid of themselves and do not stop the Kurui, but because the Qianqi Commanders are waiting. Looking at my own joke, my attempt to establish my prestige turned into a total loss of prestige, and I didn’t even bother to deal with myself.

Because what he was attacking was the imperial caravan. He drove the cavalry to rob the imperial caravan. This was a huge scapegoat!

"Okay, what you said makes sense." Wusugu was now in a mess, and his tone softened slightly. He asked the two thousand knight commanders in a low voice, "What should we do now! Tell me, what should we do? what to do?"

"What can I do?" One of the Qianqi Commander grinned and ignored him completely.

Who doesn’t know that the empire has never been soft on the prairie tribes who plunder caravans? Even those tribes who think they are hiding behind the scenes, or who think that the empire is out of reach, are often devastated by the fierce retaliation from the empire. Not coming doesn’t mean the emperor The country is helpless. The empire will directly offer bounties that are enough to make the majority of the tribes excited, and even directly support the hostile tribes with weapons. Therefore, there are not ten but seven or eight tribes that have been annexed. And now, the empire's army is here Northwest, just on the flank of Katiba!

In the heart of Qianqi Chang, this poor puppet leader has already been labeled as dead in advance.

If it was back in the past when the empire was still in the wilderness of the northwest, the sky was high and the emperor was far away. As long as the hands and feet were neat and clean, the attack on the imperial caravan could be blamed on the bandits on the road. The problem is that now the empire's 100,000-strong army is staring at the northwest. He looks very ambitious, and no one knows who the empire’s target is.

The Yelu family is in civil strife, and even the panicked tribes who want to unite to fight against the empire's eastward advance have too much to worry about. Now, when the tribes of the prairie people see the patrols of the emperor, they will walk around in circles, feeling afraid. If you provoke someone from the opposite side to be careless, you will bring disaster to yourself. At this time, you have the courage to rob the imperial caravan. This is not seeking death! It is estimated that before he returns to the clan, the Wusugu clan leader will soon be put into a prison car by the truly powerful nobles in the clan, escorted all the way west, and sent to the imperial military camp to beheaded. Otherwise, what will he do with it? Calm down the wrath of the empire!

""Lord Patriarch, it's better to order the cavalry to withdraw first! "

An older Qianqi Commander finally reminded him unbearably that after all he was also the younger brother of Lord Ural, who was known as the Fierce Horse of the North Wind. Why was he so cowardly? To be frightened like this by two thousand cavalry captains. As the head of the clan and commanding the Katiba clan with the name of North Wind, the Katiba clan will not retreat even in the face of strong enemies. How come? What kind of clan leader has appeared? It is really a shame for the Katiba tribe. If Lord Ural was commanding now, there would be no way it would be like this!

Everyone knows that Kurui is a profiteer. In order to dominate the trade in the market, he colludes with the adults in the clan, bullies the market, and does everything possible to attack his opponents. Can you believe what such a person says? But yes, everyone thought that Kurui was just a cunning businessman who could stir up some trouble. This time it was probably also to attack the Yelu family's caravan that had been suppressing him. Unexpectedly, he just stabbed the sky and provoked no one. Well, we have offended the empire. Will the caravan that can be equipped with the imperial crossbow be an ordinary caravan?

"Yes, withdraw, order everyone to withdraw immediately!" Ugusu finally regained his composure, as if grasping a life-saving straw, he quickly ordered the horn cavalry to blow the horn,

Upon hearing his order, five Katiba cavalrymen carrying huge horns took off the horns, put them to their mouths, and blew hard with all their strength.

"Woo!" The grassland horn with a sad sound resounded through the sky. In fact, at this time, Katiba's cavalry charge had long been defeated. The storm of arrow clusters erupted from the opposite convoy, beating like a whip. The Katiba tribe's cavalry were dizzy and saw a cloud of light covering the sky and the sun. A heavy rain of arrows directly turned the charging companions into gourds of blood. The war horses rolled on the ground with blood all over their bodies. The imperial ballista that was then launched penetrated and shattered the chaotic Katiba cavalry in a devastating way. Not even a hundred meters away from the convoy, more than two thousand riders were lying down.

One-fifth of the troops are gone like this, who dares to attack the rest!

The cavalry's impact on the scattered line was directly shattered into countless small pieces by this blow. The impact was completely disintegrated, and the casualties were incalculable. This was the first collision, and the teeth of the Katiba cavalry, who were known to be good at fighting, shattered. The Katiba cavalry who turned in panic collided with each other, with chaotic billowing smoke and various shouts and curses.

"Array up!"

On the side of the carriage, there were those Central Asians who had been detained as slaves. Under the stunned sight of the Katiba cavalry, they lined up in a neat line and took off their armor, thick shields and spears from the carriage. , with uniform passwords

"Papa!" The huge steel shield hit the ground hard.

As the snow and dust fell on the ground, an infantry array like a concave arc appeared in front of the Katiba cavalry. A three-meter-long heavy spear stood like a forest. The spears were like a forest, the military formation was like a mountain, and the shields were like shields. During this time, there were infantrymen holding strange crossbows in their hands, aiming towards this direction.

The red tassel on top of the helmet flutters in the wind, like a burning fire. Although it is invisible, everyone can feel it. Under the iron helmet, there are cold and serious faces, and the breath they exhale seems to freeze the scene in front of them. ,

"Fight!" The shouts were like thunder on a winter night, rolling around and spreading out. This was the fighting spirit, the fighting spirit soaring to the sky, and even made everyone who saw it feel their eyes stinging, "Emperor's Formation! "

All the Katiba cavalrymen and the Qianqi Commanders in the distance who saw this scene tightened their bloodshot eyes. Even the two Qianqi Commanders who were still full of ridicule just now were holding their breath. Breathe, the Imperial Formation, the killing formation that is rumored to have killed 50,000 prairie wolf troops in one fell swoop in Onnatso,

"When the Imperial Formation is set up, even the howling north wind in the prairie will choose to turn around." This proverb has been circulating on the grassland for two years. The Imperial Formation has long been regarded by the prairie people as a natural nemesis that can restrain the prairie cavalry. The prairie cavalry were seeking death when they attacked the Imperial Formation. It was because of this Such a concept is why Yeluguda would choose to abandon the 100,000 tribesmen in the wilderness of the empire and escape, because once they are surrounded by the imperial formation, they will not be able to break out even if they all fight to the death. The 100,000 grassland tribes simply surrendered. It is true that the Imperial Formation is notorious for killing in the eyes of the grassland people.

It was already too late to retreat. Almost instantly, the steel array in front of me was like a huge hedgehog that suddenly opened up, and the concave-convex array was like a huge bow drawn. This sudden sense of desolation is the most powerful thing. It's stressful,

Cum!

A sharp cry, swish, swish! The white lines shot out from the military formations were like a huge grid, shooting down the panicked Katiba cavalry from their horses one by one in front of the military formations, like huge intertwined iron chains, in the blink of an eye. Thousands of Katiba cavalry were minced, and the flesh and blood of the Katiba cavalry was torn like paper, and the blood and minced meat seemed to explode on the horseback. The man and the horse were crushed to pieces in an instant, as if they were suddenly struck by violent lightning.

The man fell on his back, blood rose in the air, and the corpse fell from the horse into the dust. The body was torn apart, and thick steel arrows shot through the cut half of the body with bloody flowers, and penetrated deeply into the second man's body, pinning the latter's body to the ground. There was no wailing, because he was already dead. Absolutely, the cavalry on horseback is full of arrows The tuft fell from the war horse. The war horse with the arrow tuft in its body screamed and struggled on the ground, trying to get closer to the owner's body. The bright red blood flowed along the ravine on the ground. The gale flag of the Katiba tribe was randomly beaten. The horse's hooves trampled hard on the ground,

"Run!" Katiba's cavalry collapsed completely, and Wusugu fell from his horse to the ground.
