Realm of Power

The situation has changed, just like the wind and grass. Compared with the aloofness and righteousness of the former head of the family, Long Yang, the re-adjusted Long family by the current head of the family, Long Po, is obviously more exciting for the generals of the Long family like Long Xueshan. The relationship between the two The difference is that one is fighting for China and the other is just fighting for the Long family.

The problem is that in such troubled times, the Southwest Long family cannot take care of the whole of China and Bia!

Just like Linhang, Xinjing in Central Asia, was conquered by the grassland army and hundreds of thousands of Linhang people were massacred. Many people scolded the Long family for having a large number of troops, but when the Yelu family went south, they did not send troops from the southwest and watched with cold eyes. Sitting and watching Linhang being destroyed, a few people knew how tragic the sacrifices made by the Long family for Zhongbia had been.

Long Yang, a famous general in China and the former leader of the Long family's Western Army, died in Yanzhou, which forced the Long family to have less sympathy.

At the beginning, Long Yang hoped to hold on to the last possibility of counterattack for Zhongbia, but as a result, tens of thousands of Long family soldiers fought to the death in Yanzhou, and he also died in Yanzhou. Long Xueshan still remembers that he, as the special envoy of the Long family, I arrived in Linhang, Xinjing, and brought this news to the court officials. The scene was so chilling.

Every time I think of the scene at that time, Long Xueshan’s heart bleeds.

Long Yang died for Zhongbia, but just because of the so-called violation of the court's order to cede Yanzhou, he did not even have a proper title after his death, and the Long family's original second-grade family name was changed to Being demoted to the third rank is a humiliation, a naked humiliation.

Among the many ministers in the court, no one said a fair word for the Long family. On the contrary, there were ministers in the court who severely criticized the Long family and wished they could blame the Yelu family for their violent attack on the Chaotang area.

"If Long Yang hadn't acted arbitrarily and severely damaged the Yelu family in Yanzhou, how could the Yelu family vent their anger on the Zhongbia court? Even the conditions that had been negotiated were doubled. , this is all the fault of the Long family, the disrespectful person who violated His Majesty's will and brought such disaster to Zhongbia. What else do you want from His Majesty after his death? He just reduced his second rank to the third rank. It’s a supreme grace!”

Don’t any of these people have a discerning eye?

The Yelu family went south and almost collapsed when they crossed Yanzhou. After entering the Imperial Capital Plain, they dragged a heavy baggage with them, just to seek death. Although the grassland tribes they brought with them numbered 300,000, they would not be able to fight without them. The old, weak, women and children who have died are more than 100,000 who can be used for war, and these have been What the exhausted grassland army is facing is hundreds of thousands of new troops formed by the court through hard work and courage. They are elite veterans who have completed their preparations. No matter how you look at it, in this battle, the court has the upper hand. If we play well, we can even regain China's national prestige through this great victory.

What a good situation this is. This is simply what we were given. However, Zhongbia suffered a complete defeat. The court has been discouraged. Each military branch has its own thoughts and wants to preserve its own strength. After a slight encounter, After the loss, he immediately thought of giving up the Imperial Capital Plain.

The battle of the Yelu family going south should have been a bitter battle all the way, rather than sweeping across like a hurricane, with more than 100,000 exhausted troops defeating the 400,000 troops personally commanded by the Zhongbia court. But even so, as long as the Long family is still alive By controlling Yanzhou and cutting off the Yelu family's way of obtaining manpower from the grasslands, this war of attrition will definitely come back.

There were 300,000 grassland people accompanying the Yelu family south. If every one of them died in battle, one would be missing. With more than 100,000 troops, after a series of hard battles, how many would be left in the end?

But it's no use,

Seeing that he could not stop the Yelu family, the Emperor of Zhongbia actually added insult to injury and ordered Yanzhou to be ceded to the Yelu family in order to deflect the Yelu family's attack. In the end, the Long family army was defeated in ten years without any support. Yu Wan's Yelu family army and the southward Wang Ting army were attacked from two sides.

Yanzhou fell, and how much blood was shed on Yanzhou from the land of the Long family

Yanzhou, this barrier that supported Zhongbia's prosperity for hundreds of years, was abandoned by the Zhongbia court because Yanzhou fell into the hands of the grassland people. The northern grasslands and Zhongbia area were unimpeded. From the north The grassland people rolling southward are like locusts Similarly, in just over a year, the number quickly exceeded one million. The destruction and plunder that rolled into the land of Central and Eastern Asia was many times the destructive power brought by the Yelu family when they went south. In the end, Suppressing China and Biya has no chance of making a comeback.

With such a Central and Asian court, what can the Long family do to save it! How could the Long family be saved?

"Look at it carefully. The Lanzhi City in front is the Lanzhi City of my Long family. Not only Lanzhi City, but also the northwest and Yanzhou belong to my Long family." Looking at the city in the distance at the end of the golden river In Lanzhi City, Long Xueshan, the general of the Long family, spoke with a loud voice. He said to the Long family cavalry behind him, his eyes showed a bit of unconvincing and a bit of forbearance, like a ferocious beast, quietly watching the upcoming changes, as if he wanted to destroy this small mountain town. Put it all into your own eyes

'yes"

The young bodies of the Long family cavalry were shaken. Long Xueshan's words made their eyes become hot. If it was the Long family in the southwest before, they might not be so confident, but the current Long family is no longer comparable to the original one. , because just two months ago , the head of the Long family, Long Po, led the Long family's army to launch a battle to the north. They fought with victory all the way and defeated more than 100,000 grassland troops. In the northwest, hundreds of thousands of grassland people were frightened and fled, and then moved into Yanzhou. In one fell swoop, he killed Yelvuguda, a grassland man who massacred Linhang.

When the news came, it shocked the entire land of Central and Bibia.

Even Long Xueshan and others, who are important generals of the Long family, are eager to follow this journey in person. Although half a month ago, news came that the Long family's army, which had been defeated all the way, was blocked by the prairie people at Dragonstone Castle. , but so what! The Long family has boosted the morale of the Central and African soldiers, and let the whole world see that Central and Asian countries still have a capable army and unyielding warriors. This alone is enough to be incompetent in the court and lose a large area. After the Land Conference, the dull air over Zhongbia was torn apart and blown away by the dazzling light blooming from the Long Family's Western Army!

This time Long Xueshan came to Lanzhi City to ask the Empire to return the northwest. Since the rise of the Long Family, the relationship between the Long Family and the Empire has become very strange, especially the incident where the Empire attacked the Long Family Army in Tianlang City. In the hearts of everyone in the Long family, they are no longer as potential enemies. Simple, but it has been labeled as a war that may break out at any time. This time the empire occupied the northwest that originally belonged to the Long family, took Yanzhou from behind the Long family, and now seized Lanzhi, the important road, making it clear that it would How could it be possible to turn the northwest into the territory of the empire?

Daizhou, Kulai City,

The wind and snow have stopped for several days. Because of the defeat of Dragon Stone Castle, the Long family army was blocked from going south. Kulai City is a large city located to the east of Dragon Stone Castle. It was the eastern gateway of the original defense line of Zhongbia Dai Prefecture. The city wall is towering, and the tigers Standing on the dragon's plate, the city wall is built along the mountain and extends to the blue bay on the side, like a gate. To the north are the mountains of Yanzhou. To the south, it is located in Gao Jianling, looking at Daizhou. It is also the largest grain-producing area in the northern area of ​​Daizhou. In the past, it existed as a logistics center to support the Yanzhou Army in the north. Within the gray city walls, you can still see numerous temples, covering the roof eaves of the stacked houses. Outside the city, there are many It is a large area of ​​abandoned fields, such fertile land, which has been completely covered with refugee shacks at this time, almost covering the entire city wall.

When the Yelu family controlled Daizhou, it was also an important place used by the Yelu family to hoard supplies. The Long family army went south from Yanzhou. In addition to the main attack on Longshi Fort, it was Kulai City. The Long family's main camp in Kulai City was also It's full of armored guards, and the wide The passage was empty, except for the occasional messenger riding by. Long Po glanced at the report sent and pressed it heavily on the table. Although he had tried his best to reduce the supply, the report from the logistics officer was still written. The food was only enough for five days.

If he waited any longer, he would just sit back and wait for death. Long Po stood up with a complex expression and looked outside through the window. The defeat of Longshi Castle was not a big deal for the Long family. It really made Long Po feel that it was imminent. Yes, it’s still a problem of how to resettle the millions of refugees in the northwest. I originally thought that Yanzhou could solve part of it, but who knew that Yanzhou would be like that? It’s okay. Due to the civil strife in the Lu family, a large amount of supplies and food stored in Kulai City were not transported away in time. As a result, they all fell into the hands of the Long family army. This gave the hungry Long family army a chance to breathe. However, in the face of hundreds of With tens of thousands of refugees from the northwest following closely behind, the food supply in Kulai City is just a drop in the bucket. If the situation still cannot be solved in five days, Long Po doesn't even dare to think about the consequences.

But now that we have reached this point, does he still have a way out? Even if he fights to the last person, he can only move forward. What should be done in a life-and-death battle begins with a long outpost battle. Countless teams repeatedly entangled, tested, hedged, and fought in the area. The generals of both sides tried their best to control the direction of the battlefield, and finally stabilized their positions and deployed their main forces under the most favorable situation. When hundreds of thousands of troops from both sides formed formations and charged at each other with shouts, a small misjudgment or accident, may turn the entire war into a fiasco.

In Dragonstone Castle, I was too trusting and allowed the grassland army to take advantage of the loophole. As a result, the army collapsed due to the collapse of its flanks. But this time, it will not happen. According to the reported situation, it was actually because of the internal strife in the Yelu family. Due to the relationship, the grassland army on the front line of Daizhou was far less than he expected, only about 70,000 to 80,000, instead of the situation that he had expected to face the main force of the entire Yelu family.

This is the opportunity. In order to break the deadlock, Long Po has definitely made a move.

This time, it’s not just the Long family army, but the entire millions of refugees in the northwest. Fighting in a sea of ​​people is not just something that people from the grassland can do. Could it be that we, the Long family, can’t do it? It’s just that the people from the grassland are driving away, but our Long family is using all our strength. Help, when you find there is only one chance of survival At that time, even the Central Asians dared to fight tooth and nail. Facing such a sea of ​​​​people, Long Po also wanted to know how to stop the grassland army of only 70,000 to 80,000 people! Within five days, either the grassland people would die, Either the Long family army dies, this is the situation, a situation with no choice!

In the past few days, the dense forests outside Kulai City have been cut down, wood is cut into guns, and boards are made into shields. This is what the Long family has been doing with all their strength in the past few days. With the distribution of such simple equipment, hundreds of thousands of northwest refugees gathered in the direction of Kulai City have completed the simplest equipment. Except for children, all men, young and old, will join this battle for survival.

January 3, Longshibao direction

The news brought back by the Fengtai cavalry made the faces of the grassland army in Longshibao become more and more ugly. The Long family finally moved, but it was not revenge after the defeat as expected by the grassland people, but a sea of ​​people rolling like a torrent towards Longshibao. The boundless sea of ​​people seemed to have no end.

Even the bloodthirsty grassland people couldn't help but lean back slightly at this moment, as if they couldn't bear the breath coming in their faces. How to fight? Not only the soldiers looked unhappy, even the centurions and the thousand-cavalry commanders looked at each other in panic. The Central Bians were really crazy.

Mongollie, the chief of Fengtai tribe, pressed the battlements and tightened his face. He looked at the Central Bians who were still spreading out under the city with shock. A solemn breath overflowed from his thin figure. What's going on? The 300,000 people of the Long family going south were already surprising. This time, I'm afraid there will be more than 300,000 people. What surprised the grassland people the most was where these Central Bians came from? There couldn't be so many Central Bians in Yanzhou in the north! Where did the Long family find them from?

The sound of drums coming from the direction of the Long family under the city. The chill of the entire earth was also stirred up, and the sky was filled with murderous intent.

There were as many as 100,000 Central Asians in the first line, followed by the second, third, and fourth lines. The flags made in a hurry were blown by the wind, and the heads of people were piled up layer by layer. This was a real human wave. The wide ground in front of Longshi Fort was completely filled with densely packed people. Although the faces of these Central Asians were a little pale, and the hands holding the wooden spears were shaking, their eyes were extremely firm. They were men, the pillars supporting the entire family. Behind them, countless relatives were waiting for them to open a way out. Life and death depended on this battle. If they could not open the road ahead, they would not be the only ones to die.

Long Po tightened his hand holding the whip and began to raise his hand. The wind blew from behind him, and the hundreds of drums lined up beside him stopped at the same time. At this moment, the whole world seemed to be silent in an instant.
