Realm of Power

The bright spring sunshine shines on the city wall standing on the side of the river in Guangmu City. The rapids of the river hit the gray-white stones at the corner of the city, causing a piece of white foam to rise.

The river wind blew Princess Mingyue's white dress flying in the air. Standing at the mouth of the river outside the empty Guangmu City, Princess Mingyue looked at the six Imperial Dragon Tooth warships that were parked here two days ago. None, with a look of confusion on her pretty face. Because the empire only has more than a thousand troops in Guangmu City, these six imperial dragon tooth battleships are already the strongest combat force that shocks the entire Guangmu City, and they are also Princess Mingyue's biggest support.

But now, with the imperial warship leaving, Princess Mingyue faintly felt something from the river breeze blowing against her face.

Taking a deep breath, Princess Mingyue turned around from the pier, walked onto the black carriage parked behind, looked at the black-haired man opposite with piercing eyes, and asked, "Your Majesty, tell me the truth, have you agreed to let the Song people go north?"

Seeing that he could no longer hide it, the fat man could only avert his eyes in embarrassment, glanced at the empty port outside the carriage, nodded and said, "Yes, the empire did promise to open up the northern waterway and let the Song fleet go north, and the six dragon ships I also ordered the Ya battleship to leave Guangmu."

"Your Majesty, what does this mean?"

Princess Mingyue's pretty face turned slightly blue, her teeth biting her lip tightly. This is Guangmu, the core of the waterway in the north and southwest. She has received an order from the empire to release the waterway to the north. She knew that if the empire released the waterway, the Song people would be able to move northward. , how could the Long family be willing to let the fat meat that has reached their mouth slip away? It is very difficult to stop the Song fleet on the river, and attacking Guangmu from the land is undoubtedly the first choice.

Now that the six Longya battleships have been transferred away at once, and the Long family's army is overwhelming, what will Guangmu do?

"Don't worry, the Long family will not come to Guangmu for the time being, and within a day, the 60,000 imperial cavalry from Lanzhi City will arrive in Guangmu." The fat man shrugged his shoulders and curled his mouth slightly, "I know what you are worried about. On the contrary, what I am doing now is to allow the empire to truly control Guangmu."

"What does your majesty mean by this? Is the army marching to avoid another war with the Long family in the southwest?" Princess Mingyue rolled her eyes at the fat man, and couldn't help but despise the fat man in her heart. Even if he I also know that once the empire goes to war with the dragon class, Guangmu will definitely not be saved. It’s not like I haven’t seen the tragic situation in Lanzhi City. Once the war breaks out, Guangmu will be destroyed. What’s the use of leaving only a ruin?

The fat man nodded his head without thinking at all, his eyes became sharp, and he said in a serious voice, "I won't explain too much, you have been in Guangmu for a while, can you tell me, in Guangmu people How do you view the empire taking over Guangmu? "

"With the invasion of aliens, the city is naturally full of hostility. Your Majesty is satisfied with this answer!"

Princess Mingyue's pretty face hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, although she didn't want to say it, it was undeniable that in the eyes of Guangmu people, the empire was a foreign race, and even she, the eldest princess, was often reviled by others, "Speaking of which, Princess Mingyue glared at the smiling fat man opposite her. This guy said that the area covering hundreds of miles from Lanzhi City to Guangmu City was left to her. As the eldest princess of China and Belgium, she must be popular among people. Wherever you want, King The halo of the room was around me, but in fact, when I arrived in Guangmu, it was not the case at all. How could I forget the Southwest? It was the Southwest that had been suppressed by the Central and Asian royal family for decades. In order to suppress the Southwest for decades, The court has never appointed a Southwest official, and everyone in the court is focused on breaking up the Long family in Southwest. How can such Southwest have any feelings for the Zhongbia royal family? He has not kicked himself out of Guangmu. That's already very polite.

However, I just believed it and jumped into the whole pit without hesitation.

My status as the eldest princess not only failed to unite Guangmu's people, but she was constantly reviled. Most of the wealthy families in the city were related to the Long family, or had unclear relationships with the Long family. How could they listen to her? own, and regarding the Long family's cession of Guangmu, even the locals of Guangmu have no idea. I firmly believe that the Long family's cession of Guangmu is just a delaying tactic. As long as the Southwest War is over, the Long family's next step must be to regain Guangmu with all their strength. In this case, let alone respect for Princess Mingyue in Central Asia, facing the entire Princess Mingyue can only describe the deep malice of Guangmucheng in four words: struggling.

Now that I heard that the culprit who deceived me actually asked this question, my teeth immediately started to itch.

Whatever the royal family wants is a lie, a big liar! Princess Mingyue couldn't help but gritted her teeth and said

The fat man didn't take it seriously. He didn't care about Princess Mingyue's scorching gaze at all. He just grinned, "I thought you understood this simple truth that even a child knows. But it's okay. The Long family doesn't dare to do it blatantly." To deal with the Central and Asian royal family, this is the only thing , is enough to give you an opportunity to control Guangmu. You are indeed right. The Long family's cession of Guangmu is only temporary. Once the main invading Song force is wiped out in the southwest, the next step will be to suppress Guangmu with the army, so let go of Beihe Road! , let the Song people move north just to deal with this problem? "

"Your Majesty is saying that you will unite the Song family to fight against the Long family?"

Princess Mingyue blinked her eyes, her pretty face was stunned for a moment, her head turned, and she immediately realized why she hadn't thought of it. Although the empire was powerful, it could only mobilize 60,000 to 70,000 troops, and they were cavalry. The southern mountains could not be used at all. Instead, Long Po threatened to defeat the power of the Song clan. With one hundred thousand Long family troops in hand, if the army really marches north and besieges Guangmu, even the empire can only retreat to the plains that are conducive to fighting before fighting. But if the empire joins forces with the Song people, that is another matter. Now, even Long Po has to weigh whether he can withstand the alliance between the empire and the Song clan! "

"The Song Clan asked our empire for help. Our empire is not the same. Taking this opportunity, we can unite with the Song Clan to frighten the Long Family and make the Long Family completely give up on regaining Guangmu!" The fat man waved his hand and slowly moved toward the carriage. In the front, he said in a condensed voice, "Even if the Longpo army is in hand, it is still unclear whether Guangmu can be regained in the face of the alliance between the empire and the Song people. Even if the two joint forces are defeated in the end, the Long family will lose the opportunity to seize the Zhongbia court." Excellent time for power

""The power of the court is compared to that of Guangmu. As long as Long Po is not stupid, he will know how to choose. The Song family survived this disaster. Although their strength was damaged, they are still the main force to survive. The Long family wants to do it in one fell swoop. Taking control of the Zhongbia court will inevitably encounter full resistance from the Song clan, and it will take at least several years. Long Po spent so much effort. This is not what the Long family's army of more than 100,000 people wanted in the bloody battle. As long as the Long family's focus shifts, at least for a few years, the Long family will not have the energy to regain Guangmu. Only the Long family Only by truly giving up the desire to regain Guangmu can you truly gain a foothold in Guangmu. You always understand this, right? "

The fat man licked his dry tongue, picked up the glass of water on the table and took a sip. When the Long family agreed to cede Guangmu, he knew that the Long family would never swallow this breath. To swallow this bitter pill, what is needed is strength. However, this place is far away from the mainland of the empire, and the Dongting Army transferred this time will not be stationed for a long time, so only Being able to adopt this strategy of pulling the tiger's skin, although the Song clan is weak and cannot stand a fight against the Long family alone, they are still considered the local snakes in the south. If they can create the illusion that the empire and the Song clan are joining forces, even the Long family will not be able to fight. We have to consider giving up Guangmu. As long as the Long family finally confronts the Song family in the Zhongbia court, the empire will truly have a firm foothold in Guangmu.

"The six Dragon Tooth warships have been dispatched."

The fat man put down the water glass in his hand and said, "The general of the Long family stationed in Guangmu is Long Taishan, Long Po's confidant. Otherwise, he would not have been ordered to guard Guangmu. In the battle of Yanzhou, he was the one who killed Yelu Guda." , with 20,000 men under his command, all of whom were elites who followed Long Po out of the northwest. The Song people marched northward, and their morale was probably almost exhausted. If they were blocked by Long Taishan, they might not be able to break through in a short time. " "At this time, if the Song Clan is blocked, all the previous efforts will be wasted. Since the Song Clan can't crawl, let's just push them. Six Dragon Tooth warships are going down the river. If Long Taishan doesn't stop them Forget it, if he really blocks the Song fleet from heading north, then he will be in trouble!

"Killing" the river tidal flats, the Song attack line was defeated one by one in front of the Long family's military formation. The Long family shooters shot at close range, originally to deal with the heavy armored infantry of the Western Continent, but now they shot at these Song people The damage caused to the mountain army was terrible. There was an astonishing noise, "Ah, ah..." screams continued, and half of the charging Song army fell immediately. The successors move forward bravely,

The first row of Long family archers had already squatted down to string their bows and arrows. The second row of archers started shooting again. Another terrible metal storm swept into the middle of the Song Mountain Army. The mountain army already lacked shields. The people were accustomed to the short-term advance combat method and thought that heavy shields were too obstructive in the mountains, so they The casualties were particularly heavy when they were attacked by bows and arrows. A large area was knocked down by bows and arrows. They were shot all over like hedgehogs and fell to the ground screaming. In front of the battle, the air was filled with pungent blood and red mist. It was blood. The mist formed by being evaporated by the sun, the blood of the Song Mountain Army was flowing in vain.

"Master, continuing the fight like this is not an option!"

The senior leaders of the Song clan were also anxious. Now they also saw that the gap in combat power between the two sides was too great. When they invaded the southwest and massacred the Long family defenders, they thought they were so powerful. That was why they made the mistake of judgment in the Longyingkou battle. , but at Longyingkou, because it was night, no one could see the face of the Long family's military formation clearly. At this moment, under the sun, the Long family's military formation was clearly visible, even though the Shan army was full of war. However, the gap in weapons and strength is quite ruthless. Compared with the well-trained and well-equipped Long family regular army, the mountain army's swarm attack method is really far behind. It only lasted for more than half an hour. , the number of casualties has already reached three squadrons. In front of the Long family's army formation, there were numerous corpses and heavy casualties. The turbulent attack wave of the Shan army was like a wave crashing onto the rocks, smashing them all to pieces.

"Send the order for the fleet to move in, and then press on!" Song Que's expression was so serious that he wanted to drop water. The unfavorable situation was shaking the fighting spirit of the entire Song army. If he didn't do something at this time, it would be really dangerous. The only thing we can do is wait for the front to collapse. Since the Long family’s target is the warship, they can simply push the warship up.

"Forward!" The tall warships began to move forward one after another. The huge hulls were like giant beasts on the river, pushing the waves like white waves. The huge wheels on the sides of the hulls made a slapping sound against the water. The warships move forward like a row of fortresses,

"Are you coming?" Long Taishan looked at the Song fleet that finally moved forward again, and raised his hand slightly behind him. He must not let the fleet pass. Hit me hard with the sling! I saw more than a dozen fireballs rising from the direction of the Long family's military formation, dragging a black tail, crossing a distance of two hundred meters and falling hard towards the Song warship at the head. Boom, the fireball hit the hull of the ship. On the deck, there was an explosion, and countless red fire points rushed in all directions. The Song soldiers on the deck put out the fire in a panic. Just as they put out one area, another fireball exploded, and several fireballs exploded immediately. A Song soldier was involved and turned into a burning man. He screamed and jumped from the deck. The fire spread on the deck. Although the fireballs from Zhongbia's slings were not as scary as the explosive incendiary bombs from the Empire. , but most of them are infected with grease. In addition, the wind on the river is so strong that it rises almost as soon as it hits the ground, blowing like a fire dragon.

"Kill!" On the river beach, Long Taishan's two hundred Long family cavalry finally launched a charge. They suddenly rushed forward and rushed towards the flank of the Song Mountain Army. The momentum was astonishing. The flash of heavy swords burned the eyes. The entire queue was filled with darkness. Hearing the sound of the clash of swords and the friction of armor, the fierce collision of horse hooves crushed the mountain army, spinning violently, quickly spreading to the left and right,

"It's the cavalry!" There was a horrified voice from the Song Mountain Army. In the Battle of Longyingkou, the Song Mountain Army was psychologically shadowed by the cavalry. They didn't expect to encounter the cavalry here, and all of them turned pale.

"Master, the fleet is blocked, and the river beach cannot be attacked for a long time!" Song Que's fingernails had dug deeply into the palms of his hands. In front of him, the messengers came one after another to report what was going on. The front of the formation was in chaos, and the soldiers Disobeying orders, even the soldiers in front of them howled in despair, and some were already running back in panic. Was this the mountain army that he had devoted countless efforts to? Such a chaotic situation, even if it can be stabilized, may have lost the fighting spirit. Song Que couldn't help but close his eyes and couldn't bear to watch anymore. This is God trying to destroy the Song clan.
