Realm of Power

The Han River, which is hundreds of meters wide, rolls eastward. At this time, both sides of the Han River are covered with military camps of the Yelu family and the Fengtai tribe. Compared with the 30,000 Yelu family Baihe troops on the south bank, the 100,000 on the north bank. The camp of the Fengtai cavalry was obviously much larger. The main camps of both sides were placed some distance away from the river bank. It was at a higher place to prepare for heavy rains and flash floods. The water rose overnight and submerged the camp. It was also from a high place. Both the Yelu family and the Fengtai family were on the river bank. There was a torch every ten meters, illuminating the water bank and the river. Although the light of the torch does not illuminate a hundred meters wide, it is still twenty or thirty meters wide.

The ones closest to the river bank must be the archers with long-range lethality. As long as the opponent makes any movement, countless arrow clusters will be shot out. The sentries holding torches are also going back and forth at night. The bonfire sparks at night are reflected in the rolling water. In the rapids, like streamlines, people feel the coldness before the war.

"Your Highness Princess, according to what we saw today, the Fengtai Ministry's full-scale attack should be tomorrow. If the imperial reinforcements are delayed, we will have to use 30,000 Baihe troops and 100,000 Fengtai troops to attack this road!" The Yelu family In the brightly lit army camp, a stern-faced general of the Yelu family pointed at the map spread out on a large table and said to Yelu Qiyeguang.

"If it were in the past, our Baihe army would naturally not be afraid of his Fengtai army, but now, it's hard to say." Not only does the opponent have an absolute advantage in military strength, but it can also rely on this advantage to attack across the board from the river. The number of troops is only about one-third of the opponent's. Once there is a battle, the opponent will inevitably attract our army with heavy troops in the middle, and then a large number of scattered troops will cross the river from two lines, eventually forming an encirclement and trapping of our army."

"Don't we have any other way?" Yelu Qiyeguang was sitting on the main seat in a short-sleeved armor, showing an even more heroic aura. His face, which originally looked wild and beautiful, looked like light smoke under the light. Beautiful eyebrows furrowed

"Didn't you say that the empire has agreed to send troops? Why haven't we arrived yet!" Someone among the generals said, "If we only have 30,000 Baihe troops, it will undoubtedly be more advantageous to hold on to the imperial capital than to fight the Fengtai tribe on the Han River. If If it weren't for the promise of the empire, our Baihe army would never leave the imperial capital. But now, it has been three days since we arrived at the Han River, and there is not even a trace of the so-called participating troops of the empire. If they don't come tomorrow, I'm afraid our army will There will be turmoil in military morale.”

"Yes, without the emperor's help, our army will not be able to completely block the opponent on such a long river. When the time comes, we will be in a crisis." Other generals of the Yelu family also agreed.

"Wait a little longer, I believe the empire will not break its promise!"

Yelu Qiyeguang took a deep breath and stood up from the main seat. She didn't know what the situation was in the empire. Why was it that the battle was clearly decided to start at the Han River, but not even a single soldier was sent to enter? Could it be that Damn Fatty really wants to let the 30,000 Baihe soldiers that the Yelu family finally put down at the bottom of the box die here. Li Bucheng, in order to obtain the command of these 30,000 Baihe troops, how much effort did he spend to truly get this powerful iron cavalry from his father that swept across Central Asia, even if the empire did not want the Yelu family to control it? It's too much force, at least it shouldn't let such precious combat power be lost here in vain.

"The war is about to begin, and the armies have already discussed it. Please give Her Royal Highness the Princess a time limit. They are all descendants of the Yelu family. We believe that Her Highness the Princess will not just watch these young men of the Yelu family die in vain tomorrow! "

The generals suddenly knelt down towards Yelu Qiyeguang in unison, and their tone was a bit decisive. If other generals dared to do this, even if they succeeded, they would be settled by the Queen afterwards, but they were not worried. This is because they are Baihe's pro-army and the Yelu family's pro-army. There is no doubt about their loyalty to the Yelu family.

Yelu Qiyeguang's pretty face was silent, his eyes swept over the clansmen kneeling in front of him, and his hands were trembling slightly.

The 30,000 Baihe soldiers in front of them are already the last trump card of the Yelu family. If they all die here, the entire Yelu family will be doomed. Other tribes can choose to leave when they see the decline of the Yelu family, but they will not. They would have already They have grown up together with the big tree of the Yelu family. Many people have served in the Yelu family for several generations, including their wives and children. They are inextricably linked to the Yelu family. The generals in front of them are the elders of the Yelu Qiyeguang clan, but now they are already the guaranteed future clan leaders, and now they have been granted full power by Yelu Hongtai. I am afraid that the generals We have long been clamoring to evacuate from the Han River. Regardless of the fact that the rising water in the Han River has blocked the Fengtai troops from moving south, in fact everyone knows very well.

This time the Fengtai tribe went south with great success. Not only did they defeat the six cities in the north with an overwhelming offensive, but the morale of the army had already been boosted by a series of victories. In addition, other tribes also sided with the Fengtai tribe in this civil war. This attitude made the Yelu family feel even more isolated and angry.

This is an unforgettable betrayal,

In the eyes of the Yelu family, those grassland tribes who are now siding with the Fengtai tribe are a betrayal of the Yelu family. At the beginning, Onnacuo suffered a disastrous defeat and everyone was panic-stricken. It was the Yelu family who risked their lives and went south to open up the middle for the grassland tribes. The situation in Biya, Only then has the magnificent scene of millions of grassland people taking over the land of Central and South Africa has emerged. For thousands of years, looking at the most glorious era of the grassland people, there has never been such a feat here. But now, the attitude of various ministries towards the Yelu family It's really chilling

According to the contribution that the Yelu family has made to the grassland, it is not an exaggeration to even become a royal court. The Yelu family went south in such a tragic and embarrassing way. It is not unknown to all the grassland tribes that 300,000 grassland people died of starvation along the way. There were as many as thirty to forty thousand people. In order to find a way out, the soldiers of the Yelu family starved and defeated hundreds of thousands of middle-aged people. The Biya army, also Yelu Guda of the Yelu family, with great courage, was the first to drive his horse into the rolling Han River in front of him. In the jungle of swords, guns and arrows of the Biya army, he forcibly tore open the road leading to the imperial capital. On the road, it has only been two years. The ministries have established a firm foothold and lived a good life that they could not even dream of before. They immediately turned against each other and recognized each other.

The Battle of Yanzhou severely stabbed the Yelu family in the back. Now, everyone is eager for the Yelu family to be finished immediately, and then they can rush into the Imperial Capital to carve up this big piece of fat.

"No, we can't evacuate from the Han River until there is more definite news!" Yelu Qiyeguang took a deep breath and said firmly with a stern face.

"Your Highness, please think more about the Yelu family." The generals looked angrily. "If it were just us, the Han River did not stop the Yelu family from going south. Now it cannot stop the Fengtai tribe. Before dawn, the emperor is It is impossible to arrive. In order to know the emperor's arrival, the scouts from the camp were sent out for fifty miles. If the emperor really came , there have been scouts reporting back, but there is no, fifty miles away, even if the emperor flies with wings, he may not be able to catch up tomorrow! Filling them all in will only delay you a little longer! Compared with the unreliable Battle of Han River, holding on to the Imperial Capital is the right path."

Yelu Qiye glanced at the excited generals in front of him. He didn't know why, but he felt a little sad. Is the Yelu family really in decline? No matter in terms of military strength or ideology, if they had gone south two years ago, these prairie warriors who came from the cold and windy prairie would not have proposed anything to defend the city. For them, defending the city was the most important thing in China. Talented people do it. They are grassland warriors. They should use machetes to conquer the enemies instead of hiding in the solid stone city without even showing their heads. But now, the generals have begun to openly shout "defend the city". ,

In the two years since they took over Zhongbia, the operational thinking of the grassland generals has also changed. The Zhongbia city wall tactics that they hated most at the beginning have begun to dominate their thinking after they tasted the sweetness of defending against the city.

However, in the face of the attack of the prairie cavalry group, defending the city is the most labor-saving and worry-free way.

The Battle of the Han River was planned by the empire and was not the Yelu family’s idea at all. Although the emperor of the empire was hailed as a military god, he had never actually commanded the Yelu family’s army after all. He wanted to make these people feel arrogant and arrogant with their military exploits. It is impossible for the tired Baihe pro-army to surrender. In fact, the generals are not optimistic about starting a battle on the Han River.

"The first is that the shortcomings in military strength are too great. The second is that although the Han River is a natural river that blocks the cavalry group, but also because of the terrain of the great plains on both sides, once the opponent breaks through, the entire army of 30,000 Baihe troops will be destroyed. The danger is like putting all your wealth and life on it. Once a thin line called the Han River breaks, it will be doomed. The emperor of the empire is too self-righteous and has never considered that the Yelu family started out as a field warrior and are not a regular army of the empire who is good at military formations. There is no advantage at all in positional warfare." The generals unanimously opposed the expansion of the Han River During the confrontation, during the argument, a grassland centurion appeared outside the camp and shouted breathlessly, "Here we come, the emperor is here!" "The emperor is here?" Yelu Qiye Guangjiao Her body trembled slightly. The pressure of the past two days was really too much for her. The most popular question is whether the empire has abandoned the Yelu family. Sending the Yelu family's Baihe army to Hanhe will completely put the Yelu family to death. When I think about it, the Yelu family may fall into trouble because of their wrong decisions. In the situation of destruction, Yelu Qiyeguang’s heart was trembling

The other generals all looked at the centurion. General Yelu, who said that the scouts had been sent out for fifty miles, even cursed in disbelief, "Are you sure you are not blind? Why is there no news about the emperor's arrival?" ?"

"Wow!" Suddenly, there was an uproar from the direction of the river.

"Oh my God, what a big ship! How did you build such a big ship?" All kinds of noises were like a stone being dropped into the pool.

"Go and see, what is going on?" The alarmed generals of the Yelu family walked out of the tent one after another and looked in the direction of the sound. They suddenly took a breath of air and saw something unknown on the river. At that time, huge ships appeared one after another. The size of these ships was almost enough to Twenty meters high, it was as tall as a city wall. There were about twenty or thirty ships in number. They parked along the river bank and rushed forward, as if a row of huge walls had risen in the south of the river. On the masts on top of these large ships, the empire's falcon with its fangs and claws fluttered impressively.

"Haha, it's the Imperial Navy. It's such a big ship. I wonder what Fengtai's expression will be when they see it tomorrow!"

The generals of the Yelu family came to their senses at this moment, and cheered suddenly. They had always thought that the imperial reinforcements must have come from the land, but they did not expect that the imperial army came along the river. I don’t know how many emperors came, but just seeing these huge ships was enough to make them feel excited. Well, the Fengtai Department opposite can only build some wooden rafts. Facing such a huge ship, there is no comparison at all. In the concept of prairie people, there is no entire concept of navy, so there is no way to call these ships. The ship was from the Imperial Navy. About half an hour later, an Imperial general wearing Imperial armor appeared in the Yelu family’s military tent.

The imperial general glanced at the generals of the Yelu family in front of him, and finally fell on Yelu Qiyeguang. There was only one woman in the entire military tent, Yelu Qiyeguang. That means he had done nothing wrong. He said in a solemn voice, "I am the empire." Kabuya, the commander of the fifth flag of the Wilderness Legion, has been specially ordered to come and inform her, please prepare your highness to cross the river!"

"Crossing the river? Where to cross the river?" Yelu Qiyeguang was stunned for a moment. If they weren't the reinforcements sent to support, why did they cross the river again? "

"Of course it's the Han River in front of us!" Kabuya said with a smile, "Your Majesty is already at the south of the river, waiting for the princess to hunt together for two days."

"You mean His Majesty Falcon crossed the Han River two days ago!" Yelu Qiyeguang's eyes suddenly lit up in surprise. He stayed in the north of the river for two full days before Fengtai arrived at the Han River. The only ones I saw were the Yelu family, so I naturally focused all my attention on the Yelu family. I never thought that the Imperial Army might have crossed the Han River long ago.

In the dark night, the heavy clusters of horse hooves stepped into the shallow water spreading in front of them, rolling up a burst of white water spray.

But if you can have a pair of eyes looking down from the sky above your head, you will find that this huge piece of black is coming like a huge semi-arc towards the Fengtai headquarters camp with dense light spots downstream. There are 20,000 imperial guards. The impact line formed by the cavalry, the huge front with a length of thousands of meters, the metal-forged armor flashed through the darkness in the night, the cavalry as black as the sea, under the black iron helmet. ??It was the ghastly eyes of the Imperial Guards Cavalry that began to stain with blood. If they wanted to kill Mongolia within five days, it was naturally impossible to foolishly hope in the Han River and launch a killing blow on the enemy's only path. This is the purpose of the emperor's inquiry about the Khan River8
