Realm of Power

The mountain breeze is blowing, and smoke and dust billow straight up on the fiercely clashing battle lines in the distance.

At the position of the Song Army's main formation, a Song officer hurriedly walked up to the heights of the camp. Looking at the letter in the hand of the Song officer, the soldiers guarding all around looked over and whispered, "Just now, Long Tens of thousands of people could clearly see the scene of the letter from the Long family. The whole army was concerned about the content of the letter from the Long family. His eyes turned green. What would be in the letter from the Long family was not only curious, but also a major event related to the lives and deaths of tens of thousands of people. This southwest war between the southern mountains and the Long family had reached Now, the victory or defeat no longer needs to be stated clearly. Even the soldiers at the lowest level know that in this battle, the Song people were defeated miserably, and the southern mountains were defeated miserably.

Under attack from the two fronts of the Long family, the southern mountainous area was on the verge of collapse. Although it withstood several attacks by the Long family, the Song mountain army knew very well that this battle was no longer possible. If you don’t know that surrender is useless, plus the mountains in the south With a life-and-death hatred against the Long family, the Song army, which had just been cheering for the Long family's army to retreat, was frightened to a halt by the huge, hysterical shouts from the Long family. Under such huge pressure, the entire mountain army also I can only grit my teeth and hope to get a chance to survive.

But getting this glimmer of hope is easier said than done.

The wind of the battle was cold, and a group of Song army that had been defeated just now was regrouping in the Song camp behind.

The leaders of each mountain and village shouted hoarse one by one and gathered their tribesmen again. A large number of wounded soldiers were carried down and placed in the east corner of the camp without anyone taking care of them. There were various sounds of wailing and pain. It came to my ears that this is the southwest, the territory of the Long family. Even if I escape secretly, it will still be the same. They will be found by the Long family after the war. Since they can't escape, they can only fight to the death. Because of this, although the morale of the Shan army is low and they know that there is no way to recover, they are just lingering and there are still no large numbers of people fleeing. situation, but after all, there is a limit to such endurance,

Everyone knows that this limit is not far away. Once the Long family attacks again, no one knows whether they can withstand it. Once they are overwhelmed by the Long family, how many of the southern mountain people here will be alive? back to the south

"Give me that letter"

A senior general of the Song tribe stood waiting outside the tent with a stern expression. Watching the officer come up, he immediately took the letter, as if he was afraid that the leaders of the mountain people around him would not hear it, holding up his hands. He persisted and came to the military tent door and said loudly, "Report to the head of the family, a letter has been sent from the Long family!"

"Come in!"

The voice of the head of the family, Song Que, came from the military tent. The Song general pretended to be respectful and opened the military tent and stepped forward. The military tent was quickly lowered and everything in the general's tent was covered tightly. Three days ago , Song Que, the head of the Song family, announced that in order to guard against the dead soldiers of the Long family, martial law was completely entered near the military tent, and the guard force was strengthened three times. More than a hundred direct disciples of the Long family were divided into three shifts to take turns on duty.

Inside the military tent, Song Luzhen, the third person in the Song clan, was pacing back and forth anxiously. There were three or four senior Song clan officials next to him who also had solemn faces. On the seat, there was another person who was related to the leader of the Song clan, Song Que. There must be a middle-aged man who looks roughly the same, with a tight look on his face. Zhang was at a loss. Only a few close friends of the Song clan knew that Song Que secretly left the army to seek help from the empire. Even the leaders of the southern mountainous area did not know that there was only an early morning soldier in the military tent. Just prepare a substitute,

Song Lu took the letter, opened it and took a deep breath. Several other high-level officials from the Song clan also gathered around him. Even the stand-in came over curiously and wanted to take a look. The Song people surrendered to the Long family and donated their large fleet. The fastest update... The above content made everyone show a trace of hesitation on their faces, especially when their eyes fell on the signature at the end of the letter, they all felt like their eyes were being stung, that was The two characters are like dragons flying and phoenixes dancing, and the pen is as sharp as a sword, revealing a strong sense of attack. It is the Long Family God of War that makes all the southern mountain people feel terrified, Long Po!

"I announced that the Song people would submit to the Long family from now on, become vassals of the Long family, and hand over all the ships. In the end, they only agreed to let two hundred people leave the southwest. Such conditions are really vicious!" Song Lu snorted heavily with an ugly face, and held his hand. The hands of that letter couldn't help but squeeze together tightly. This is a typical strategy to cause chaos within the southern mountains.

The Dragon Level agreed to give the Song people 200 places to leave the southwest. This was not even a drop in the bucket for the more than 60,000 Song people who were stuck in their retreat. However, this was also a vicious point. The Song clan would not agree, but at this critical moment, the Long family sent a letter to the Song clan for tens of thousands of people to see.

Compared to this moment, people are already panicking outside. Everyone has seen that this letter from the Long family has been sent to the Song clan's tent. The morale of the military has become unstable. The soldiers are talking about it, and the officers' eyes are flashing and wavering. , it can be said that this letter from the Long family, at this moment, is like a huge stone thrown into the calm lake, and the waves it raises almost fill the lake.

"Did you see that the Long family took the initiative to negotiate?

"Who says otherwise? Now it depends on the attitude of the Song family. Just be afraid. The Song family will not agree to the Long family's conditions for their own interests!"

"No way, the Song clan is also the head of our southern mountainous area, so there is no way..."

"Why not, when the interests are at stake, so what if you are the leader of the southern mountains? Don't forget that the Song clan was able to become the leader of the southern mountains in the first place, and the iron-blooded methods they adopted were not inferior to the Long family. This time they invaded the southwest, It was also the Song clan who planned to kill the Long family the most, and the Song clan was the most brutal. If I were the Long family, I would never let the Song clan go!"

The whole army was talking about it, and the mountain leaders who were still gathering their clansmen all rushed to the Song clan's tent.

"We need to meet the head of Song Que's family immediately!" An old-looking mountain leader said to the Song guards who were blocking him. Because Song Que was not here, Song Lu had issued a strict order. No one was allowed to enter the army without Song Lu's consent. Within thirty meters of the tent,

"Yes, why don't you let us in? We are the leaders of the southern mountains." Seeing that the Song guards refused to let them go to the military tent, a mountain leader with a scar on his face shouted angrily, "Since the Long family has put forward the conditions , then everyone should be able to see it, and by blocking everyone from entering, is it possible that the Song people are doing something shameful?"

"Yes, let us go in. Since it is a matter that concerns the entire southern mountainous area, we should let the entire southern mountainous area know about it!" Hearing the words of the mountain people leader, the other mountain people leaders looked angry, and the Song clan's actions It's really too abnormal. It's too easy for people to think that the top officials of the Song clan are inside the military tent and are planning how to protect their own interests at the expense of the lives and deaths of tens of thousands of mountain troops.

Hearing the noise outside the military tent, Song Lu stopped, holding the letter from the Long family in his hand, unable to make a decision for a while.

If these mountain people leaders are allowed in, Song Que's absence from the army will be exposed. But if these mountain people leaders are not allowed in, how can we explain this letter? Only two hundred people can leave the southwest. Once this condition is announced, for the current situation, For the Southern Mountain Allied Forces, which were still united to resist, this was a fatal blow. The soldiers would not be able to resist. They will believe that the generals will live and die with them, and the various ethnic groups in the southern mountainous areas will also think that the Song people are not worthy of trust. In order to survive, they will sacrifice the southern mountainous people. The two hundred seemingly painless evacuation quotas are just buried. It was a poison that entered the hearts of the entire southern mountain coalition. It didn't take long for the entire mountain army to fall apart.

"Song Que, come out!"

"Song Que, come out!"

The shouts outside the military tent were already coming one after another. The guard reported with a trembling voice outside the military tent, "Sir, the leaders of the thirty-seventh division of Nanshan and the leaders of the eighteenth village of Hushan are also here. If this continues, If you continue to block it, I'm afraid something big will happen."

"You stay inside and I'll stabilize them!"

Song Lu gritted his teeth with a pale face. At this time, he was the only one who could suppress the situation. In any case, the secret that the Song people were not in the army must not be spread. No matter how the Song people explained it, the mountain people would only Let's think about the worst, once the mountain people are in civil strife, without the Long family attacking, the whole army will be in chaos. Taking the letter, Song Lu opened the military tent and walked out.

"Come out, Master Song Lu has come out." Most of the mountain leaders outside know the third-ranking figure of the Song clan. On weekdays, Master Song Lu is also caring for the mountain people and has personal relationships with many leaders. The shouting suddenly became quieter. One of the senior old men saluted Song Lu first and said, "Sir Song Lu, what are the conditions proposed by the Long family? Why can't everyone see it! Is the head of the Song Que family really Are you going to sacrifice us?"

"Yeah, why don't you let us see it!"

"If the Song people don't have a guilty conscience, why don't they let us see it!" The other leaders made a fuss.

The Southwest War has reached this stage, and everyone is on the verge of death. Regarding the Southwest War planned by the Song clan, the excitement at the beginning has turned into full of complaints. If Song Que hadn't planned a thousand-mile raid to the southwest, everyone wouldn't have been blocked here by the Long family. If it weren't for the Song family's hesitation, the southern mountains wouldn't be in such a situation.

All of this was caused by the Song Clan. I don’t know when the change from gratitude to the Song Clan to anger became more and more obvious as the Long family’s army forced and strangled them. Otherwise, if it had been done before, even if Knowing that the Song Clan would not let them know the contents of the letter, these mountain people leaders would never dare to force the Song Clan to have a wife.

"Chief Ma Mu, these are the conditions of the Long family. See for yourselves!" Song Que hesitated for a moment, knowing that it was impossible to keep the leaders from knowing, so he could only hand the letter to the old man. , the Mamutou people are the tribal leaders of the Ninth Mountain in the southern mountains. Because they are the oldest and always do things fairly, they enjoy a certain prestige in the southern mountains.

"The Song clan surrendered to the Long family and handed over the large fleet, two hundred people... this... this." The old man Ma Mu, who received the letter, had surprised eyes and murmured in a low voice,

"Haha, I wonder why the Song people don't even have the guts to show it to us. It turns out there is something really fishy!" Among the mountain people, a sturdy mountain leader sneered with a livid face. There were also some The leader didn't understand it at all , and someone else explained that what is mentioned here is the Song people's surrender to the Southwest Long family, not the entire southern mountainous area. The large fleet handed over also belongs to the Song people, not the southern mountainous areas. As for the quota of two hundred people, It’s also for the Song people , it’s not just about our southern mountains. In this southwest battle, the Song clan can be regarded as turning out in full force. Headed by the head of the family, Song Que, there were three to four thousand Song clan members who participated in this southwest battle, and there were even more people from the Song clan who used it. The flying vine spirit who lives in the southern mountains Rui, the Long family only offered a quota of 200 people, and the Song clan will definitely not do it. No wonder the Song clan is so nervous and won't let us see this letter, because if we read it, he is afraid that we will no longer be willing to help. The Song family is fighting with the Long family! "

"There is a Song tribe on the left here, and another Song tribe on the left. Where are our southern mountain people!" After hearing the explanation, the upright mountain people leader looked confused. Why did the Long family only mention the Song people and not other mountain people? ? This is wrong!

"No, not at all, because in the eyes of the Long family, we are just dogs of the Song family."

"Dog? The Song clan is our dog!"

"You!" Song Lu glanced at these mountain people leaders one by one, and his body was shaking slightly with anger. He originally wanted to stabilize the situation, but in the end he completely lost control. What a good method and strategy! Song Lu sighed secretly in his heart. With just one letter, Long Po made the entire southern mountainous area, which had followed the Song people for hundreds of years, become so alienated from the Song people in an instant that many of them still called him brothers. Some people who have been there for more than ten years have been rescued many times by the Song Clan, but at this moment, everyone is on the opposite side of the Song Clan.

"We're attacking, the Long Family is attacking across the board!"

A horrified voice came from the front, causing everyone to look over.

I saw the Long family army on the opposite side approaching like a tidal wave, and suddenly began to shrink their formation. The shields in front were firmly stuck on the ground, and the back was supported by iron rods. People crowded together and set up a forest of spears. Squeeze the barrel of the gun until it is so crowded that you can no longer move. The fleet on the river has already formed a sea tide, and arrows are raining from the sky. The Long family's 300,000 troops are gathering in front. One after another, the Long family's teams are entering the battlefield. The Song Clan's mountain army, up and down, can see the front. The Long family army is really spreading out. The number of people is so large that it is boundless at first glance. Countless people are crowded in the deserted and deserted woods. In the middle, thousands of troops and horses, the cold light of swords, the Long family's military flags dispersed one after another. The cavalry, infantry, and archers were like an unfolding picture scroll, converging into a blood-red earth, which was the Long family's army. The color of the armor is so large that even the ground is covered up by the crowd. When has the southern mountainous area, which has never had a large population, ever seen an army of this size?

I just heard that the Long family used hundreds of thousands of Central Asians to overwhelm the grassland people in Daizhou and conquered Daizhou in one fell swoop. However, no one could explain the concept of those hundreds of thousands of troops. They just thought it was because there were too many people. , so many that there is no end in sight, but today, when the Long family really spread out their main army of 300,000 people, the southern mountainous area opposite realized that they were wrong, and how wrong they were.

Those were hundreds of thousands of people, not hundreds of thousands of mountain rats. It turns out that when the number of people reaches a certain level, they can no longer be called humans. Instead, the auras of hundreds of thousands of people converged into a bloodthirsty body that devoured everything. The ferocious beasts and hundreds of thousands of troops bring not only boundless splendor to people, but also despair that shatters even the heart of resistance!

In the front attack, less than one-third is actually mobilized. It can only be regarded as the claws of this huge and ferocious beast. The remaining two-thirds is the torso, which has been recharging its energy and preparing for attack. , it is conceivable that once this huge ferocious beast really moves, it will definitely be overwhelming and swallow up any living thing in front of it.

"No fight, I won't fight! Let the Song clan fight to the death with the Long family!" In contrast, there was a large number of commotion among the mountain people in the south, and the situation collapsed (To be continued...) r
