Realm of Power

Through the misty rain and fog, a faint sound suddenly came from the front, which seemed to be the sound of water chestnuts in the mud.

"Sound the horn, Wang Tingjun is coming!"

A general of the Yelu family had a serious face. He was holding his hand on the crenellations of the Dongshan City made of gray stones. With half of his body leaning out, he saw some graceful black shadows starting to appear in front of him from the direction of the Huishui River to the west. When the bugle sounded in Dongshan City and the horns were heard, the leaders of King Yelu's army who had been waiting in the city for two or three days subconsciously glanced at each other and then immediately ran towards the Dongshan City Wall.

The moment they climbed onto the city wall, there was no sound at the front of the city wall, only the wind blowing and whirring the big flag.

"How's the situation?"

Yelu Qiyeguang, wearing a close-fitting armor, walked up to the city wall surrounded by several generals of the Yelu family. The first thing he looked at was the Gray Water River in front of Dongshan City. As a river flowing down from the melted ice from the high mountains, it was originally crystal clear. clear water After flowing into the Dongbo sandy area, it quickly turned into a gray-yellow river. The entire Dongshan City was built on the right side of the Gray Water River and was built on the mountain. In order not to be exposed, Yelu Qiyeguang even gave up this river as Dongshan City. Mountain barrier river channel

"Rumble" The gray water river is not wide, only more than ten meters, and the deepest position is only three or four meters deep. The number of forward cavalry displayed by the North King's Court is about 30,000, facing the gray water blocking the front River, almost without hesitation, he took the horse to swim across the river. Countless war horses jumped into the gray water river like an avalanche. , the river water became more and more violent under the obstruction, and a white wave appeared on the belly of the war horse. However, there were too many royal cavalry who jumped into the river. They were densely packed, equipped with long bows, spears, and swords, and they crowded together skillfully. Moving forward, the river is like an iron gate cutting off the entire Gray Water River. The momentum is astonishing.

"Gathering" the horses crossed the river and rushed to the opposite side. The Royal Court cavalry began to stop about 300 meters in front of Dongshan City and spread out a long crescent formation, like a dark forest. A fluttering flag made Yelu Qi Ye Guang's pupils tightened, and some of the tribal leaders behind him even took a deep breath of air.

"It's my Gudri's Lei Jun!"

"To actually use the strongest Lei Jun under his command as the forward, Zhaguo Tiemu wants to give us a showdown!" The tribal leaders talked a lot, and Yelu Qiyeguang also felt the pressure on his face, which was embroidered on one side. The black horse carried a silver lightning flag, and the golden tassels on the side of the flag showed its true identity as the former Eighth Army of the Royal Court. What was the Eighth Army of the East Courtyard back then? With his majestic existence, all tribes in the grassland must rely on him to survive. If he is not careful, it may lead to disaster. He is a symbol of the hegemony of the North Grassland Royal Court in its heyday. Its brutality in foreign wars is also known by everyone. As we all know, Zhaguo Tiemu directly used the famously brutal Lei Jun as the vanguard to press against the Dongshan people of Dongbo people. The meaning is self-evident. This is a precursor to massacre of the entire Dongshan city.

"Come here, immediately surround this Dongshan City and wait for King Khan to arrive and deal with it."

The same was the case. As the commander of the Dongting Lei Army, Wu Gudri raised his head and glanced at Dongshan City in front of him after dismounting his horse and crossing the river. He raised his riding whip and pointed forward, with a ferocious look on his lips, facing the 30,000 Lei Army behind him. Raising his hands and shouting loudly, these Dongbo people boldly attacked the Wangting border troops, And when King Zhaguo Temu Khan convened a royal banquet, according to the nature of King Zhaguo Temu Khan, he must kill all the Dongbo people in this Dongshan City. Even this Dongshan City must be as it was back then. Like Yanzhou, you can only give up after destroying the city and destroying the land. First, surround Dongshan City to prevent any fish from slipping through the net.

"Yes, my lord"

A dozen or so Lei Jun Qianqi commanders wearing red cloaks and fierce expressions crossed their chests with their right hands and answered neatly. The Lei Jun was originally a large army of fifty or sixty thousand people, but after experiencing the chaos in the royal court, they helped Zhaguo Tiemu defeat Competitors, what is left of Lei Jun is With 30,000 people in front of them, the Dongting Lei Army began to spread out in two directions, like a huge ring extending towards the outskirts of Dongshan City. In the vast rain, countless birds flew up in the woodland around Dongshan City, which was still startled, and more and more birds flew up. Showing a pervasive chill and solemnity

"They are surrounding Dongshan City and it seems they are going to massacre the city!"

Yelu Qiyeguang's pretty eyes flashed. They were all grassland people. Just by looking at Lei Jun's current movement trajectory, he roughly guessed Lei Jun's intentions. This made Yelu Qiyeguang's heart drop to the ground. Wu Gudli's Lei Jun is a direct descendant of Zhaguo Tiemu. In terms of status, it is second only to Wang Tingwei who follows him. The fact that Lei Jun is already here proves that Zhaguo Tiemu is already nearby. Sure enough, as Lei Jun encircled Dongshan City, follow-up troops continued to arrive. Arrive. The second, the third...the Royal Court's army began to appear one after another. Countless torches formed one light belt after another in the dark night. The light belts were getting longer and longer, and they were getting closer, but they still couldn't be seen. Its end stretches to the distant horizon. Countless light spots on the ground merged with distant starlight, and finally like a river flowing into the sea, these countless moving light spots all gathered under Dongshan City and merged into a vast ocean.

"That's a bluff, Zhaguo Tiemu is indeed a fox!"

"It's a pity that no matter how clever the fox is, he will encounter a hunter sometimes."

If under normal circumstances, the Wang Ting Army had displayed such a powerful force, I am afraid that the generals and leaders of Yelu Wang Ting who were hiding in Dongshan City would have been panicked. But at this moment, it seems that it was obviously deliberately displayed. Despite the huge momentum, there was a rare calm. Everyone knew the number of Wang Tingjun, and the two The strength of the army was not as great as imagined. On the contrary, the leaders of the various ministries believed that if the cavalry were to fight in groups, Wang Ting would have the advantage, but if it was to fight for a city like Dongshan City in front of them, the troops under Bei Wangting would How many of those troops can compare with the Yelu family who attacked cities and forts in Zhongbia?

Others don't know, but those within the Yelu Group know that when the Yelu family gathered in Yanzhou, they displayed various military equipment, catapults, heavy ballistas, and the Imperial Thunder God. These alone were enough to make the opponent The Royal Court Army suffered a heavy setback. It is conceivable that after Zhaguo Tiemu's confident attack was crushed by the Yelu family, how great the shake would be for the entire Royal Court Army. What's more, these tribes who had returned to Zhaguo Tiemu's command would not Several They had no choice but to be under the management of the royal court. Although the momentum was huge, their rags and rags were like shabby equipment. Many cavalry did not even have a complete set of armor. They either only wore a helmet or carried a handgun. Wearing a small iron buckler, most of the squad captains were still wearing armor made of salt. Those with mail armor on their upper bodies were already at the level of a hundred knight commanders. Looking at these pitiful compatriots, the eyes of King Yelu's army on the city wall were... Somewhat weird,

They remembered that when they went south, they were like this, and now, after recuperating in Central and Bibia for more than a year, these tribes who went south have basically completed the replacement of weapons. Bea's armor was put on the body after slight modifications. Although the weapon was still a scimitar, the main weapon was There is also a stabbing spear made of fine iron inside, and even the quivers mounted on the war horses have grown from half a quiver of arrows at the beginning to three full quivers according to their weight and function. Equipment, the huge difference in combat power between the two sides due to their equipment has reached a level that can be seen at a glance. We are all prairie people, who is afraid of whom!

"Woo"

In the early morning, the Beiting Army outside the city issued an impatient rally horn. In front of more than 100,000 Wang Ting troops, Dongshan City was almost within easy reach. In the early morning mist, countless Wang Ting troops were crowded together, making it difficult to distinguish. Who is who? The gathered queues, the endless line of people and horses, were so dark that the edges could not be seen with the naked eye. These densely packed soldiers and horses, like giant steel beasts one after another, could tear the thin Dongshan City in front of them to pieces at any time. Wu Gudli, the commander of the Lei Army, walked into the king's tent, knelt down on one knee in front of Zhaguo Tiemu, and shouted loudly Please fight: "King Khan gives the order. It's just a Dongshan city. My subordinates can take it in an hour."

"Yes, it's just a Dongshan City. Why does it need such a large army? Lord Wu Gudri's Lei Army is enough for an hour. If Lord Wu Gudri can say such things, it means that His Majesty's personal crusade is regarded as nothing. ? Is it because of your Gudry’s talent? Are you already above His Majesty?" A heavy-looking middle-aged leader standing on the side said with disdain. The other tribal leaders looked on coldly. This time Zhaguo Tiemu personally attacked Dongshan City in the name of avenging the border troops. In fact, everyone knows what’s going on! Zhaguo Tiemu suffered a disastrous defeat in the battle with the Coldlanders some time ago. Although there was no major loss, it also made the royal court's finances stretched.

And since Zhaguo Tiemu withdrew from Yanzhou, in order to win people's hearts and show his generosity and financial strength, he has continued to give rewards to various ministries. He also used the treasures and wealth brought back from China to Biedijing. And this time the royal banquet was even more extravagant and luxurious. Zhaguo Tiemu seemed to be sitting calmly, but he didn't know how anxious he was inside, otherwise Nor would they order the border army to carry out a brutal raid on the Dongbo area, which led to Dongshan City's angry counterattack. And now, with such a large army entering the Dongbo area, how could they leave without making a lot of money? How can Dongshan City satisfy everyone's appetite? Wang Ting Yan, the goal of Wang Ting Yan may have long been changed to the Dongbo land in front of him.

"My subordinates definitely didn't mean this!" Wu Gudli's expression changed, and he realized that what he just said was wrong, so he quickly explained.

"Okay, I know you don't mean this." Zhaguotiemu waved his hand, stopping other people's discussion, and asked Wu Gudli to stand up. As his confidant, Zhaguotiemu still knew Wu Gudli very well. , although the age difference between the two is about ten years, Wu Gudli was once the archery teacher and tactics teacher of Zhaguo Tiemu. Teacher, it has always been the practice of raising wolves in the grassland royal court. Even the prince will ask to go to the battlefield when he reaches adulthood at the age of twelve. Zhaguo Tiemu, who was still the eldest prince of the royal court, went to the battlefield when he was twelve years old. On the battlefield, when the old Khan asked to select one army from the eight armies as the guard, the one he chose was Wu Gudli's Lei Army.

"I still say the same thing, whoever can be the first to climb the Dongshan City Wall will belong to him. Now everyone, please start hunting."

Zhaguo Tiemu raised his riding whip, and what he said immediately made everyone's blood boil. His eyes swept across everyone's faces, and Zhaguo Tiemu smiled. He knew that his goal was achieved, and the Wang Ting Banquet could serve as a symbol of the Wang Ting's status. The biggest factor is that the prey of Wangtingyan is designated by the Khan, and the reward of Wangtingyan is It was also appointed by the King of Khan. This was a naked proof of the supreme authority of the King of Khan. The Dongshan in front of him was the prey of the royal banquet that Zhaguo Tiemu pointed to. No matter who could become the master of Dongshan City in the end, he Zhaguo Tiemu The credibility of the new Khan King will be established, and then spread throughout the northern grassland with the singing of the grassland poets "Yes" everyone answered uniformly, and the air around them was shaking. They all hurriedly ran back to their troops. The first one to attack Dongshan City will get Dongshan City. Who can still hold on? What's in front of them? Dongshan City will not be compared in the eyes of everyone. How much stronger is a city made of paper? For more than a hundred years, the Dongbo people have been the target of oppression in the grassland. No matter how strong the city is, what use will it be in the hands of these cowardly Dongbo people? If they rush up, they will be the Dongbo people. The Lord of the mountain city is the owner of this land of more than a hundred miles! "Immediately the troops are coming out!" A tribal leader drew his scimitar and galloped on his horse. A group of prairie cavalry with flame marks on their foreheads began to break away from the team and followed closely behind them, with their sharp scimitars unsheathed. , like a point of light swooping towards the Dongshan city wall in the morning mist,

"You bastard, how can you fall behind others? Everyone in Kudababu, follow me!" The sturdy leader of Kudababu yelled angrily. Before his voice could completely fall, "Olikshubu came out" came from the side. With the sound of the horse's hoofs roaring, the cavalry from the North Royal Court continued to surge forward like a wave. The mist was still floating on the ground, and the galloping horses rolled up smoke like whirlpools, and trembled like thunder. Even the Yelu Army on Dongshan City could clearly feel that countless soldiers and horses together sent out flash floods and tsunamis. He shouted like a wolf, and then rushed towards the city. The entire city wall and the earth were shaking.

"Archer!"

Yelv Qiyeguang raised his hand with a cold expression on his pretty face. Countless grassland bows on Dongshan City were raised towards the sky. The densely packed heavy arrows used to break armor shone coldly towards the direction where Wang Tingjun was swooping in. Following an order, Down, countless arrow clusters suddenly swooped into the sky with the sound of a bow string being loosened, stacked on top of each other as if they were opening. With its oval-shaped wings, countless arrow clusters suddenly covered the sky above the head. Countless heavy grassland arrows fell like raindrops, and people suddenly fell over. Wang Tingjun, who was charging forward with his head lowered, saw countless arrow clusters before he could react. A continuous stream of arrows flew from the opposite side, and the companions were hit by the arrows and fell off their horses. They were so frightened that they quickly ducked.

The Yelu archer who loosened the bow string quickly took out the second arrow from the quiver placed at his feet and hung it on the bow string. Almost two seconds later, the second wave of arrows flew out. The second round, the third round... ..., the quivers placed at the feet of the Yelu family archers are all filled with twenty heavy arrows. According to the shooting speed of the prairie bow, even if the entire sleeve is empty, it will only take about a minute.

The continuous barrage of arrows shot out by clusters can still block the impact of heavy cavalry to a certain extent. Moreover, most of the rushing Royal Court cavalry are still in light armor and cloth armor. With all kinds of shouts and arrows like swords, almost sweeping across the position, the royal cavalry fell off their horses one after another and remade The arrow penetrated the cavalry's body fiercely. The cavalry seemed to hit an invisible wall. His body was shaken heavily. He was carried back by the impact of the arrow cluster and fell from the horse's back. The brutal impact hit him On the ground, they were trampled to death by the hooves of their own people's scattered horses. The ground was dripping with blood. Countless royal cavalry were trampled to death by their own people.

"Asshole, when did the Dongbo people have so many shooters!"

Seeing that his tribesmen were hit by arrows and fell from their horses, the people behind him were already in a mess. Isn't arrow attack his strength? Why did the Dongbo people opposite have such a dense curtain of arrows? If there was an eye shooting from the sky now If you look inside Dongshan City, you will find that the entire Dongshan City Wall is not only filled with Yelu family members. Shooters, the roofs of houses near the bottom of the city wall, and the gaps between the streets are all filled with densely packed Yelu family shooters. The number of them is almost like countless ants climbing on this huge sugar cube called Dongshan City. Not to mention the tribal cavalry wearing light armor, even the heavy cavalry would be killed by such a bow shooting group with one blow!
