Realm of Power

The river water was like a line of waves, lapping hard against the side of the ship. Amidst the muffled thunderous impact, it turned into white water spray and scattered. On the large river with rapids, there were more thunderous sounds, and horses' hooves trampled on the river. On the deck of the ship, sawdust was flying everywhere, and black lines of black lines of imperial cavalry wearing black armor were crossing several temporary pontoons formed by more than a dozen imperial warships.

The ship deck rattled in the ups and downs. A group of cavalry arrived at the river bank first. The leading cavalry officer raised his hand,

"Disperse the entire line, within ten miles,"

Following an order, these cavalrymen did not stop at all as soon as they arrived at the opposite river bank. They skillfully spread out in all directions, like a big net spreading forward. As the first scout cavalry disappeared into the distance, more and more followed. The ship bridge is crossing, and they are moving in continuously, and the number is increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After the cavalry came the imperial infantry in armor and armor. The squadron flags representing the squadrons soon covered the opposite river bank like a black cloud.

The sky was a little gloomy, with fine white drizzle falling. Mu Lihe, the deputy commander of the Imperial Wilderness Corps, came up from behind and said with a respectful expression, "Your Majesty, the scouts sent back news that under the impact of a large number of refugees, the Central Asian Army was even The sentries along the river have been completely abandoned, and the main river is completely undefended. As long as we are willing, our army can launch a surprise attack on the Central Asian troops on the Yanghe line in one day! "

"Raid on Yanghe?"

In front of the Muli River, a black-haired young man stood on the north bank of the large river, looking at the wide and turbulent river in front of him, as if it had been rolling eastward without stopping for countless years. His eyes were so bright that he seemed to be able to see the end of the distance. After hearing the report from Mulihe, he turned around and said, "Although the Central Asian Army Although the battle is average, it occupies a favorable location after all. Don’t underestimate it, and don’t forget that there are millions of Central and Asian refugees congested on the road. It would be a joke to attack Yanghe. I’m afraid you haven’t reached Yanghe yet. The imperial army The news of going south has already reached the Central Asian troops! "

"My subordinate is being reckless!"

Mulihe quickly lowered his head. He had indeed ignored the problem of the refugees. Such a large-scale cavalry advance would absolutely not be kept secret unless all the Central Asians seen along the way were killed. If it was in the vast expanse of On the prairie, there are large areas with hundreds of miles of uninhabited areas. This approach is very useful, but this is a densely populated Central and Asian region, and there are millions of refugees on the road. A surprise attack is simply a fantasy.

"It's unrealistic to raid Yang He, but to tear a hole in the blocking line of the Central Asian army, it only takes more than a hundred light cavalry." The fat man's eyes were as sharp as knives, and his voice was ferocious. "If it is five thousand imperial light cavalry, Even if China and Biya knew about the scattered raids in advance, there would be no way to prevent it! "

"My subordinates understand!"

Mulihe's eyes flashed for a moment and he took a breath of air. He was from the grassland. How could he not know this cavalry tactic of attacking the incision? Don't look at the Central Asian army, which has a hundred thousand soldiers, but in the land of Yanghe The width alone is seventy or eighty miles, and the length is more than a hundred miles. If a hundred thousand troops are spread out, how many can there be? These Central and African troops may be used to stop the refugees, but if they really encounter the imperial cavalry, there will be only one result. , was massacred. Five thousand cavalry, fifty assault lines, on the 70-80 mile horizontal line of Yanghe River, the high mobility of the cavalry is definitely a nightmare for the Central and African troops. It seems that the news brought back by Li Long immediately made His Majesty Angry, he was about to attack Yang He.

"Okay, let's go!" The fat man nodded. Li Long's news really made him angry. In any case, Li Long is also the leader of the Li clan, and can be regarded as one of the first-class big clan in China and Bia, and he is sitting on Dijing West Road. He is also Li Yuehua of the Li clan. Knowing clearly that the empire is behind the Li clan, the Zhongbia court actually acted arrogantly. Then he ordered the arrest of the entire Li family. This was simply arrogance that knew no bounds. Originally, the empire had only thought of using coercive measures to force the Central and Asian sides to recognize the agreement. However, they did not expect that the cowardly Central and Asian emperor actually Now that you have changed your gender, do you really think that you are still the great Eastern empire that stretched across thousands of miles of territory? Are you kidding me? The Yanghe region is a famous grain-producing land in the south of China. If such a piece of fat is placed on the lips of the empire, there is really no reason not to bite it. If the opponent can even see the difference in strength. If not, then simply use the empire's sword to let the other party know what the price of provoking the empire is!

The five thousand imperial light cavalry in Mulihe served as the vanguard, like a sharp knife, and secretly drove towards the Yanghe area at the first time. The other imperial troops drove towards Dahe Road from Dijing West Road. The Central and Asian troops in the Yanghe area , what was obtained was the intelligence of the imperial army gathering in the big river, the leaves splashed by the rain in June Floating in the raindrops, it seemed that it would be shattered at any time. After receiving the news of the large-scale gathering of the Imperial Army, Tang Shui ordered the Central and Asian troops to strengthen their vigilance. However, the Central and Asian troops did not know that the five thousand Imperial troops with superb combat capabilities The light cavalry dispersed into fifty squads and began to spread out along the Yanghe line.

"What are you doing standing here? Don't you know where this place is? It's an important military camp. Anyone who trespasses will die."

"What, there are foreign cavalry behind you, are you kidding me? Do you think I will let you pass if you say this? What are you doing here? If you want to live, go south." Lu Er, the commander of the Central Bian army, said to a group of people. The homeless people who were talking nonsense scolded them with a serious face. They stood in the middle of the road with a stern face, looking at the people in front of them who could not be driven away. The refugees kept coming out with all kinds of vicious words, and finally scolded the group of refugees away. Everyone thought that Lu Er was a villain. Even the soldiers under his command looked at him with disgust. Before, Lu Er is not like this. He is a person who values ​​love and justice. How come he has become like this in just these days?

"What are you looking at? If one person is put in, everyone will have to eat first. I am doing it for everyone's benefit! You have also seen that these refugees have dared to tell any lies. They also said that there are foreign cavalry. This is not intentional. Are you trying to cause trouble! If there were alien cavalry, would they still be able to come here? "Lu Er looked around with ferocious eyes, and the soldiers lowered their heads one after another. Even Lu Er himself did not believe what these refugees said. They were talking about foreign cavalry and the enemy army behind them. Some were even more outrageous. They simply said that the emperor wanted them to come. Yes, in just half a month here, I have seen everything.

If you want to live, go south. If you stay here, you will only die. Why doesn’t anyone believe this truth?

Seeing the person he scolded away, Lu Er sighed,

Because of the rainy season, the roads were already muddy, and the long queue of refugees was almost like a huge millstone, sweeping away all the food in the passing areas. As a result, the Central Asians in these areas also became refugees. As a result, these millions of people came all the way down, and the number was even larger. When they reached the Yang River line, under the full resistance of the Central and African troops, the refugees flowed down the flanks of the Yang River, but some refugees still flowed down.

"These people are all dead!" After scolding him, Lu Er sighed inwardly when he saw that the other party had no intention of leaving. He knew why these refugees did not leave because the large wheat field behind him was so solid. It's so tempting. On one side are large groups of refugees, and on the other side are the seedlings that have begun to sprout in the fields.

As long as it matures in July, there will definitely be a scene of billowing waves of wheat.

It is precisely because of this expectation that these refugees choose to stay and continue heading south. No one knows what the outcome will be. On the contrary, it is better to stay here and maybe get a bite to eat, not to mention that there is a large Central Asian army. Stationed here, even if these troops release a little bit, it will be enough to survive until July.

But Lu Er knew that the actual situation was completely different. In order to stop these refugees, the superiors ordered the troops to be dispersed. Lu Er belonged to the 19th team of the Fifth Army of the Flattery Army. The whole team had 100 people, but they had to guard the situation in front of them. At the two passes, Lu Er originally thought that these grains could save people, but his immediate boss got drunk once, and the truth he told made Lu Er's heart tremble. Now, even if these grains are ripe, I am afraid they cannot be used. These grains are not actually from the court, but are the private property of those adults. Even if they are mature, they will only be transported into the private treasury of those adults. It will not be used to help these refugees. These people waiting here are no different from waiting to die. Xiangnan may still have a glimmer of hope. If they stay here, they are waiting to die!

Food can't save people. Lu Er can only rely on himself to save people. Just like today, he saw another group of refugees coming towards this side.

"It is forbidden to pass in front. There is no food here for you untouchables. If you stay, you will die! If you want to survive, continue south." Under the disgusted eyes of all the companions around him, Lu Er stood in the middle of the road with a fierce expression. In front of this group of refugees, there are not many people in this group of refugees. There are only Twenty or thirty of them, all of them looked young and strong. The leader was a young man with disheveled hair. After looking around, the young man lost his mind to continue listening to Lu Er's scolding. In fact, he couldn't understand what was happening in front of him. What was this Central Bian man talking about? He glanced sharply at the people around him.

"You! That's not right." Lu Er's voice suddenly stopped. The young man suddenly leaned on him. A sharp pain came from his lower abdomen. Lu Er felt that he almost fainted from the pain. Is this an assassination? He didn't know why, but at this moment, he felt that the other person was looking at him with a smile. It was a ferocious and high-spirited feeling when a beast faced its prey. His lips tried to shout, but no sound came out. His body was also pressed tightly by the other party. It was so hard. This was the last thought in Lu Er's consciousness.

"Look, the meanest one is being beaten!"

"I should have beaten him a long time ago. I have never seen such a person! It's not like I want him to feed me. I just want him to be a squad leader. What a big deal!" The other Central and African soldiers looked amused and even laughed. In their eyes, Lu Er was like being pinned down by the other party because of a quarrel with the other party. It was really satisfying. This kind of person should be taught a lesson, just when everyone was watching. When it was busy, the ground began to tremble, and there was a dull sound of rumbling...

"What's going on?" All the Central Asian soldiers were stunned. Although it was raining, there was no thunder. Where did this sound come from? At this moment, a refugee was struggling with Lu Er not far away. Suddenly rushed over,

"What do you want to do!" The Central Bian soldier looked at the other party's red eyes and shuddered immediately. It's okay for these refugees to have their ears slapped. Why do they even want to do it themselves? He raised his hand The weapon in his hand was intended to scare the opponent, but in the end, a sharp and cold light struck him severely, drawing blood. It was like being squeezed and exploded, and it splashed into the face of the young refugee. The young man was seen holding a blood-stained dagger in his hand, and he pulled it out from the soldier very skillfully. Those eyes, It was even brighter red, and everyone felt the murderous aura bred in the silence. They swallowed nervously,

"He's killed, I'll go, what's going on?" The other soldiers started to leave in a panic. At this moment, someone shouted "Cavalry"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a loud sound of whooshing through the air, and saw dense black cavalry in front of him, suddenly appearing from behind the undulating hills in front. These black-armored cavalry were galloping on the horseback while drawing their bows on the horseback. Nocking an arrow. The rain of arrows buzzed and trembled with the bow strings, pouring down like a heavy rain. The arrow clusters flew like locusts, and the infantry in China and Bia suddenly rolled.

"The enemy is attacking!" At this moment, even a fool knew what he was encountering. This small pass entering the Yanghe area was completely lost almost instantly. Hundreds of Central and Bian infantry were all shot to death, and more and more More and more Imperial Qingqiu surged up, roaring like wind and lingering clouds, rushing in.

"I didn't expect it to be so easy..." One of the big men wearing the armor of an imperial general glanced at the pass and curled his lips slightly. It was the Muli River. He thought the news would be leaked, but invisibly because of the entire pass Because of Lu Er, the news did not reach the senior officials of the Central-Bian Army in the Yanghe area. The Central-Bian Army did not know that the Empire The cavalry has come like the wind. Five thousand cavalry rushed into the pass and immediately dispersed, like a big net rushing forward. In almost one day, dozens of miles of Yanghe area were attacked by unknown cavalry almost at the same time. The Central Asian troops suffered heavy casualties, and reports of attacks in various places covered the table in Tangshui's tent like snowflakes.

"What's going on?" Tang Shui's face was so gloomy that he was about to go crazy. No one could stand being beaten like this. If anyone said it was done by a refugee, Tang Shui could kick this guy to death. In one day, more than three times More than a hundred places were attacked, with casualties Nearly 3,000 soldiers and two generals' camps were affected. One was killed and the other was injured. How could there be such refugees with sophisticated combat equipment and so many cavalry and horses? Tang Shui had to think of one thing that he least wanted to think about. The question is, did the empire go south?
