Realm of Power

Several ferocious-looking human heads seemed to be struggling to break free from the pole. On the pole of the Song-character flag, they were blown up and down by the bloody river wind. The bright red human blood continued to hit the flagpole. The flagpole is dyed red with human blood, the cold wind is cold and the army is as strong as iron. Only the military flag will become more beautiful because of human blood.

In front of the banner with the character Song, there were countless shouts, charges, and fights, blood splattered, and new ones rushed forward,

The Song army's attacks came one after another, just like the turbulent waves when the sea rises. They continuously hit the Long family's military affairs. Even the elites under Long Taishan's command were still piled with corpses, layer after layer. , blood flowed into channels on the tidal flats, and the river water mixed with human blood flowed into the river, dyeing most of the river surface red.

A Song officer held such a military flag with both hands, trying hard to let everyone see the head on the flagpole. The heads on the flagpole came from a Song general and three squadron leaders, all of whom had just collapsed from the front. The head was chopped off by the supervising team without even a chance to defend themselves. Seeing how ruthless the supervising team behind them were, some Song officers who were also shaken at first shuddered. The Song people themselves Since the disastrous defeat thirty years ago, in order to recuperate and accumulate strength, military law has not been used against the family's children for more than ten years, let alone the practice of beheading to show off the troops. Some sharp-eyed people even recognized one of them. He was also the nephew of the head of the family, Song Que. He was beheaded even though he was so close to him. The others were even less merciful and did not dare to have the slightest idea of ​​retreating. They just loudly urged the soldiers to move forward.

"Master, isn't this too..." Someone in the upper echelons of the Song clan wanted to say something with an ugly face. After all, in this battle in the southwest, the Song clan had suffered too much. It took them decades to accumulate the family wealth. They have all been defeated by seven or eight, and now they have to put all their family assets on the line. As Song Que said, this battle will The blow to the Song Clan was too heavy. Even if the Song Clan could escape safely, it would still take a long time to recover. Every descendant of the Song Clan now would be the family's hope for the future. If the whole army was forced to attack like this, I'm afraid Even if the Long family's resistance is overcome, the Song family's loss will be an unbearable situation.

"Master, although you deserve to retreat without authorization, it is always inappropriate to hang the heads of my Song clan children on the military flag. After all, they are all my Song clan children, and they are fighting for the Song clan..."

"Enough"? Song Que waved his hand with a heavy face, interrupted the other person to continue, and said, "What else can you say at this time? The Shan army has become weaker year by year, to the point where even three times the force cannot break through the Long family's blockade and compete with the clan members." Military law has not been enforced for more than ten years. I am afraid that it is closely related to a Song Dynasty who dare not even see blood. How can the Clan Mountain Army compete with the elites of the Long family who dare to fight bloody battles even against the prairie cavalry and the empire? If this battle continues like this, even if they escape from the southwest, there is no hope that they can make it through. , everyone’s result is the same, it’s nothing more than your and my heads hanging on the Long family’s military flag.”

"Master!"

Several high-ranking officials of the Song clan were so cold when they saw Song Que that they didn't know what to say for a moment. If it hadn't been for the Southwest War, they probably wouldn't have thought that the Song clan had become so weak that after thirty years of fighting, Sitting in a well and looking at the sky in the southern mountains, they are enjoying the stability of a peaceful and prosperous age. Now it is time for the Song people to change from this state and become the same southern people who dared to compete with the emperor of Central Asia more than a hundred years ago in the southern mountains. Song clan, easier said than done! They understood what Song Que was feeling in his heart right now. He had devoted his whole life to something and thought he would be arrogant among the others, but in the end he couldn't even perform the most basic tasks. He was afraid that he would have such an urge to vomit blood in his heart.

"Report, Long Family Qingqi was found twenty-five miles downstream!"

At this moment, a Song clan scout came flying over, bringing news that immediately chilled everyone's hearts. The Long family had finally caught up! Behind the Qingqi must be the main force of 300,000 people led by Long Po. They are 25 miles away and will probably arrive in two hours. Everyone's eyes are looking at the battlefield still fiercely fighting in front of them, looking at the rock-solid Long The family army formation, the eyes are trembling

What can we do? The morale in the front is like a rainbow and the attacks cannot break it. What's more, several attacks have been defeated now, which has lowered the morale of the entire Song army to a certain extent. If they want to break through within two hours, that is a fantasy! It couldn't be broken, it couldn't move, and it ended up being blocked in the southwest waterway! If I had known this, I might as well not have run away. A normal person can't bear to have people gain hope and then fall into despair again.

"What can I do?"

"It's over, this time it seems that God is really going to destroy our Song clan!" Everyone lamented. They thought they could escape by going north, but they didn't expect that they would be blocked here in the end. They were only one step away from escaping. Out,

"Please order the family master to assemble all the personal guards. Even if I risk my life, I, Song Li, will protect the family master to the death and rush over!"

Song Li knelt down on one knee in front of Song Que with a determined look on his face. The battle at Longyingkou was delayed because of his ineffective fighting. Now that he saw that his family was in a desperate situation, Song Li had already made the worst preparations. , the Feiteng Army, which had high hopes, obviously couldn't rush out. The only thing that could be done now was to desperately send Song Que, the leader of the Song clan, out before the main force of the Long family arrived.

"The situation has become like this, please make a decision immediately! Otherwise, even if we use force, we must let the family leader rush out." The senior leaders of the Song clan looked at each other, and at this moment they actually said in unison. If Song Que has been hesitant, , they were ready to forcibly tie Song Que to the war horse,

"You guys!" Song Que's eyes were red and his body was trembling slightly.

"I'm offended!" Song Li stood up and waved his hands to several guards behind him. Several family guards hesitated for a moment, but finally walked towards Song Que. As long as Song Que didn't die, the Song clan still had hope. According to Song Que The connections and prestige established in the southern mountains in the past thirty years, at least in the southern mountains, can still stabilize the situation. If Song Que dies here, or is captured alive by the Long family, and the Feiteng army is also wiped out here, then the Song family will It’s really all over! The Song people in the south are not just tens of thousands of warriors. There are hundreds of thousands of Song family members in the southern mountains who need to be cared for.

"Look, what is that!" Just when the entire Song clan hierarchy was in despair, a rumbling sound came from the upstream direction.

"What's that sound?"

"Is it the sound of water flowing in the river?"

"It doesn't seem like it. How much water is needed to produce such a huge sound?"

"Sir, we found a large number of cavalry approaching from behind our army." Just when the Song people were guessing, a Long family soldier ran over with a pale face and panted in front of Long Taishan.

"Cavalry!" Long Taishan's face froze when he felt that he had the chance to win. At this moment, he felt a chill rushing straight to his forehead. Damn it, why did he forget that Guangmu was in the upper reaches of the river, and he was blocking it here. When the Song people marched north, they never thought about how the Song fleet would dare to head towards the northern river without the permission of the empire. There is no doubt that the empire must have agreed. At this moment The situation made Long Taishan have a funny urge to cry. He was here to block the Song clan's northward advance, preparing to attack the main force of the Long family from up and down, and completely wipe out the Song clan in this river, but Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, he became the target of a double attack between the Song clan and the empire. Long Taishan's subordinates also looked at each other and all looked at Long Taishan. Could it be that they were withdrawing like this? The situation changed too quickly!

"Gather your troops immediately and hold on with all your strength!"

Long Taishan's eyes were bloodshot, and his fists were clenched. The annoyance of having to let go of the prey that he had already obtained made him close his eyes in pain. He could feel that the main force of the Long family was very close, so close that he could feel it. The wind that blows towards my face carries the aura of the Long Po family master. How can I let go of the river at this moment? The soldier's firm nerve gained the upper hand at this moment. There is nothing that can absolutely guarantee victory on the battlefield. The difference between winners and losers is often persistence, and Long Taishan and the Yelu family of the grassland fought countless times. , there is no longer any fear of cavalry groups,

As the main military commander of the Long family's counterattack on Guangmu City, Long Taishan naturally knew the imperial forces in Guangmu City very well. Guangmu originally belonged to the Long family, and the Long family had many eyes in Guangmu City. Even if the empire wanted to hide it, it would be difficult to hide it. So far, there is even a detailed report of what Princess Mingyue eats for three meals a day. The advertisement was placed on the table of Longtai Mountain. There are not so many cavalry in Guangmu City, so this cavalry is not from Guangmu, but from an area further than Guangmu. Traveling such a long distance and going into battle without rest, I am afraid it will be very dangerous. There are only six or seven points of combat power left. Thinking of this, Long Taishan's heart feels at ease. Isn't it a cavalry? The prairie people's cavalry has not been touched before. Long Taishan firmly believes that he only needs to persist for a while and he will win!

The best way to deal with the cavalry is naturally the spear formation. Three thousand Long family troops began to line up and wait, with long spears erected side by side diagonally upwards, like a forest rising up on the riverbank.

In the upper reaches of the river, the imperial cavalry was like a straight line approaching rapidly, almost coming close to the river. Looking at the forest of spears in front, the speed of the war horses increased instead of slowing down. The cavalry scimitars above were unsheathed, like layers of walls. The sound of the horse's hooves shook my eardrums and roared like thunder. It was impossible to distinguish the points, let alone see the quantity clearly. It was just a rumbling sound.

"Kill!" Rows of Long family infantry thrust their spears forward like lightning towards the bodies of the Dongting light cavalry. The sound of snapping swords and guns came one after another. The Empire's Dongting cavalry charged at the hundreds of cavalry at the front of the wave. He slammed in regardless, and a spear penetrated the Dongting Cavalry's shoulder. However, the Dongting Cavalry gritted his teeth and still moved forward desperately. In just a few seconds, The gap in the Long family's gun array has been opened.

"Papa pa pa"

In an instant, thousands of Imperial East Court light cavalry rushed in with the momentum of their horses like a torrent of galloping metal. Their spears splattered with blood, and their horses neighed loudly. It was like two iron walls colliding together, and a mass of people suddenly rolled up. There were waves of blood, both sides collided and slashed, and there were sounds of people shouting and horses neighing, all kinds of The long and short weapons pierced each other crazily. Even the heavy war horses were stabbed by the spears from all around. They let out a scream during the squeeze and rolled to the ground. Blood splashed out from the passing war horses. Sprinkle it all over the land, and the soil can no longer absorb it, so it flows downward along the ravines on the ground! The scimitar hit the person's head hard from up to down. The sword flashed across the head, and the head was sprayed with red blood. The headless body was dragged for more than ten meters by the rushing horse before falling. Suddenly, I heard To the sound of bones breaking under the horse's hooves

The Song clan below also discovered the surging armor from behind the Long family army, and they were stunned for a moment.

"This is!"

"It's the imperial cavalry, it must be the imperial cavalry!" The high-ranking officials of the empire were stunned. They were already desperate, but they didn't expect to see such a scene again. They saw the cavalry in black armor knocking over the Long family infantry like a gust of wind. The sound of horse hooves and fighting rumbled on the side. They saw the Long family infantry being blown away by the huge impact force and fell under the iron hooves of the back row. The swords and guns of the cavalry on both sides continued to burst into blood in the crowd. The thin human body fell to the ground like the rice waves hit by the typhoon, "No, this is a trap!"

Long Taitian's face was ashen, and he felt beads of sweat on his forehead, because he saw it , the enemy cavalry's attack was quite fierce, it was basically a state of gathering strength for a long time, it was definitely not the case that they had been running for a long distance. This was not a big deal, the problem was that I was now on the river beach, with the Song tribe in front of me, and the space for maneuver was too small. The enemy's cavalry was like a fierce hammer hitting me. The cavalry had an absolute advantage in the attack, but I didn't even have room to hide. Even if I was really a piece of iron, there would always be a time when I would be flattened by the enemy. The enemy was obviously lurking somewhere upstream first, and then launched such an attack at the most critical moment. The enemy grasped my position so accurately, if there was no conspiracy in it, who would believe it!

"Pass the order, the whole army evacuates the riverbank!" At this time, Long Taishan no longer dared to think about whether he could still block the river. He was originally a hunter, but suddenly found himself the prey. Even a general who had been in battle for a long time felt that the situation was out of control at this moment. Long Taishan turned over unwillingly and mounted his warhorse. He watched his subordinates being crushed by the enemy cavalry. They could only stretch out desperately, and either be pierced by countless spears, or be trampled into meat paste by the rushing iron hooves.
