Realm of Power

The dense arrow screen from the direction of Dongshan City swooped on the Wang Ting Army's advance line, which really shocked the Wang Ting Army. However, in the face of the offensive of hundreds of thousands of Wang Ting Army, the blocking effect of the arrow screen was minimal. Riding on Zhaguo Tiemu, who was on the war horse, looked coldly and ordered all the cavalry to dismount and stand up their shields and move forward.

The sound of huge war drums came out through the rain curtain, boom, boom, boom! "With the rhythmic and orderly footsteps, even the walls of Dongshan City were shaking. Wang Tingjun, holding a scimitar and a prairie buckler in his hand, was covered in white in the rain, and the oppressive force of tens of millions of people came towards him. , six siege towers temporarily built last night, in the Wang Ting Army Pushed forward, under each siege tower was a team of ten thousand people advancing in a skirmish line. The captains of Wang Tingjun shouted with all their strength, "Move forward, kill those who retreat before the battle, whoever is the first to attack the east Mountain City, bounty of one thousand gold." This time, the ministries also spent a lot of money.

Looking at the Wang Tingjun below who were starting to change from cavalry to infantry, Yelu Qiyeguang smiled with his tight pretty face.

This is the moment we have been waiting for. Another purpose of choosing Dongshan City as the battlefield is to force Wang Tingjun to change from cavalry to infantry. Regarding the changes of the grassland army facing the fortified city, Yelu Qiyeguang is very clear. The grassland army has always attacked the city. They are all weaknesses, not because the prairie army is afraid of attacking the city, but because Because once the prairie people who are used to fighting on horseback get off their horses, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced. They are used to the wind-like feeling of wielding a sword on horseback, and they suddenly become infantry. In addition, the prairie people have never fought in formations. Habits, the so-called siege, is like this, swarming up, no rules at all,

"Give me my order and let's begin!"

Yelu Qiyeguang said to the messenger behind him. As the order was issued, all the soldiers of the Yelu family standing on the wall of Dongshan City suddenly heard a sound. Just as they were stunned, the sky suddenly darkened. One hundred and thirty Five heavy catapults and one hundred and ten Imperial heavy ballistae fired simultaneously, and the arrow clusters that struck again were like a large black cloud that once again blocked the color of the sky.

"Come again?" Zhaguo Tiemu raised his eyebrows and curled his lips in disdain. The whole army had raised their shields. Under such circumstances, how powerful even an arrow attack could be. These Dongbo people are indeed powerful enough. stupid

"Arrow attack, erect shield"

With the lessons learned from the past, this time the grassland royal army raised their round shields to the sky in unison, watching the dark clouds above their heads turn into raindrops in an instant, and metal waterfalls falling from the sky, bang bang bang! Contrary to everyone's expectations, the Wang Ting Army, who thought nothing would happen, suddenly rolled over in the covered area. The arrow clusters in the sky had not yet fallen, but in front of everyone's eyes, there were already hundreds of heavy steel crossbows like razors. It was usually cut in hard, causing people to fall over, and the whole row of soldiers were pierced by this storm. , suddenly flew backwards for several meters, or even more than ten meters. The armored body twisted into an unnatural posture in mid-air, turned over and was hit by falling arrows. Puff, puff, the body was filled with arrows. There were so many hedgehogs that Wang Tingjun, who had no idea what was going on, felt as if he had been punched in the face by an invisible giant.

"What is that"

The Royal Court Army is in commotion, and the concentrated fire of the Empire's heavy ballistae is a shock to anyone's flesh and blood. The heavy ballistae that relies on powerful mechanical springs, without the protection of armor and shields, is as fragile as paper. Many royal soldiers It was too late to even shout "Help", even the people and horses were instantly crushed to pieces. The place where the heavy ballistae swept past, the injured screamed, the ground was covered with screams, the surrounding people and horses trampled each other, the sound of horse hooves, screams, arrows Rain comes like locusts, lightning Among the flints, as if they were suddenly struck by violent lightning, soldiers kept kneeling on the ground, and their bodies were instantly pierced by countless arrow clusters. "Imperial Heavy Crossbow! It's Imperial Heavy Crossbow!" Seeing this, Wang Tingjun in the back row immediately felt sad. fear, someone Trying to turn the horse's head, countless boulders with various sharp water chestnuts also flew at this moment, like a flock of birds suddenly flying through the sky, falling from the sky with a shrill sound of wind in the white sky and rain, and smashing into the chaos like thunder. Wang Tingjunzhong

"Ah, spread out"

The soldiers of the Royal Court Army had no time to even dodge. The small round shields in their hands were just light shields, unable to withstand this completely irresistible terrorist attack. The huge rocks crushed past in the queue, and they heard the squeezing sound. , the soldiers on the entire landing line were instantly smashed into pulp, and their brains were scattered.

One, two, three... minced meat flew everywhere, and under each rolling boulder was a trail of bloody minced meat residue. From time to time, we could see the whole team of Wang Tingjun being rolled over by the boulder, and only a few of them remained. Several people, and most of them collapsed with fear, and there were also a few who sat on the ground.

"Come quickly, help me"

"Move the stone quickly, save my brother." All kinds of shrill shouts, the bloody ground, the screams of the injured who were crushed but not lost immediately, such effects are worse than the actual killing effect. , which was even more shocking. Wang Tingjun did not expect to encounter such a large-scale stone-throwing attack. Facing the densely flying sharp stones, all courage and rewards were thrown out of the sky. The only thing he could think of was to run and escape. ! They screamed hysterically, dropped their shields, hugged their heads, and scattered. The neatly arranged shields were torn apart under the intensive blows of stone throws. The defeated soldiers scattered all over the wilderness in front of Dongshan City like a flock of sheep.

"Something is wrong, Your Majesty the Khan."

Zha Guotiemu's originally contemptuous face had solidified, and the tribal leaders around him were all dumbfounded and gasped, how cruel! How many unused trump cards are there in Dongshan City? The Dongbo people have been suppressed by the Northern Grassland for hundreds of years. Everyone is no stranger to the Dongbo people. Because there has been no unification for a long time, the military power in the Dongbo area has always been weak. Dongshan City can have more than 20,000 troops. It's incredible, and because of the years of plundering and oppression in the Northern Grassland, even if Dongshan City has a small amount of money, it should be impossible for it to show such a shocking momentum, especially for an unforgettable battlefield such as the Imperial Ballista. It is absolutely impossible for a small local force like Dongshan to possess a killing weapon.

"It can't really be the Yelu family here," a leader of the grassland tribe murmured subconsciously, just like a pebble dropped into a calm pool, which immediately made other tribe leaders change their expressions, no way. , absolutely impossible. How could such a ridiculous idea come up? The tribal leaders told themselves one by one that it was absolutely impossible. Impossible, but I couldn't help but think about it. If the people in Dongshan City at this moment were not the Dongbo people, but the main force of the Yelu Army, it would be terrible. A tribal leader turned pale and shuddered, almost He rolled and crawled to the front of Zhaguotemu and shouted hysterically, asking His Majesty the Khan to immediately order everyone to retreat.

At this time, all the Wang Tingjun stopped and saw that the closed Dongshan City gate in front of them slowly opened in front of everyone. As the gap in the city gate became wider and wider, Countless The cavalry suddenly rushed out like a whirlwind, killing 10,000 Yelu family Baihe pro-army cavalry. Like a cold wind, like a sharp sword, they slammed into the city gate at an unexpected speed. Wang Tingjun, who fought on foot,

"Pa, pa, pa" prairie knives curved like an arc moon, fighting skills from the same kind and race, at this moment, they collided with each other without any fancy.

"Don't mess up, hold on!" The thousand cavalry commanders of Wang Tingjun shouted at the top of their lungs, and were swayed left and right by the surging and retreating crowd.

"Go forward, cut them open! Kill those who stand in the way!" This was the cry of the pro-army troops who broke into Baihe. They slashed fiercely with the sharp scimitar, and the war horses rushed into the crowd, knocking down the panicked and frightened Wang Tingjun in front of them to the ground. Swords slashed and horses trampled, heads rolled, just like the rolling waves of rice after a typhoon. Even those who managed to escape would be trampled into pulp by the ensuing iron hooves.

At first, a military flag of Yelu Royal Court was unfurled in the wind. The Royal Court Army was in an uproar. With just a roar, the flag penetrated deeply from the unprepared front of the Royal Court Army. Under the sword light like snow, there were heads rolling down everywhere. A squadron of Wang Tingjun was overwhelmed by thousands of war horses. The bright red blood mixed with minced meat was trampled deeply into the muddy soil. The blood between the two sides was like a sudden explosion of water. There were layers of people and war horses. The area hit by Baihe's pro-army collapsed as if it had been hit by a heavy hammer. In a hurry, he held a shield in his hand. The Wang Tingjun who were fighting on foot were like straw swept up by the hurricane on the roadside. The Baihe pro-army were like being sliced ​​open by an extremely heavy side knife, ruthlessly slicing the side of the more than 100,000 Wang Tingjun.

In the main formation of the Royal Court Army, Zhaguo Tiemu's eyes were bulging with anger, and his fingers were clenched violently. The North Royal Court flag blowing in the early wind made a strong sound above everyone's heads. Countless pairs of eyes looked at the front and suddenly came out. The enemy was completely silent for more than ten seconds, and Zhaguo Temu suddenly burst into laughter. "It's true that God has a way for you. If you don't take it, the Yelu family and Baihe's soldiers are all here. It seems that the people in Dongshan City are not Dongbo people, but the Yelu family. The presence of Baihe's soldiers in the city is enough to show that the people in the city must be Yelu. There is no doubt that Qiyeguang has no way to come to hell, so let’s fight for a higher position in this land of Dongbo!”

"Pass my order, Wang Tingwei comes forward!"

When the wind blows, who can compete with us? Zhaguo Tiemu raised his hand and ordered sternly. He was able to stand out in the battle of the royal court and was also a heroic figure. After discovering that the people in Dongshan City were the Yelu Army, he knew that he must not retreat at this moment, otherwise once the morale of the army was shaken, Not to mention the hundreds of thousands of grassland troops, even if there were twice as many, they would still be defeated by the entire Yelu family. Destined to be defeated, in order to suppress the floating morale of the army, Zhaguo Tiemu decisively suppressed his 20,000 Wangting Guards. The Wangting Guards were the personal followers of the Khan, and they were the most powerful cavalry under Zhaguo Tiemu. When other ministries saw that Zhaguo Tiemu and even Wang Tingwei were pressing down on him, even if they came to ask for withdrawal, they could only swallow it dry at this moment.

At the same time, 20,000 royal court archers rushed forward. Less than a hundred meters away from Dongshan City, they covered the head of Dongshan City with intensive shooting. Tens of thousands of arrows flew in the air on both sides, and brick fragments were scattered on the Dongshan City Wall. Flying sideways, cracks everywhere. Arrows spurted out from the gaps in the railings, the shooting holes in the battlements, from every window, every shooting hole, and every stone crevice, and the whole city was groaning. From time to time, people on the city walls were hit by arrows and fell to the ground, their bodies bleeding. The cold city walls were covered with bloody handprints. Arrows were flying across the city. Shouts came one after another. The sound of catapults, crossbows, winches and crossbows fired continuously, which shocked the people. Yelu Qiyeguang mounted his war horse at the city gate There was a dull pain in the eardrums. Behind Yelu Qiyeguang, rows of Yelu Army cavalry filled all the visible positions behind. The Yelu Army cavalry group, totaling as many as 50,000 people, was already full of bows and arrows. Fighting came from outside the city. The sound came from the cheerful city gate opening

"Your Majesty, the 50,000-strong army has been assembled."

A general of the Yelu Army came to Yelu Qiyeguang with a helmet in his hand, knelt down on one knee and said in a solemn voice, the 10,000 Baihe soldiers are just to open the way to attract the attention of the Wang Ting Army, the real trump card is the 50,000 elite cavalry, the target There is only one thing from beginning to end, and that is the origin of Beiwangting Zhaguo Tiemu. formation, if the most powerful Wang Tingwei under Zhaguo Tiemu were still there, Yelu Qiyeguang would continue to wait. Unfortunately, in order to show that Wang Ting was still fighting, and at the same time to appease the hearts of all the ministries, Zhaguo Tiemu was frustrated in his attack. Finally, Wang Tingwei was sent out as expected.

Yelu Qiye nodded. Ten minutes later, just as the Wang Ting army outside the city was still frightened by the 10,000 Baihe soldiers, the sound of galloping horse hooves was like rolling thunder in the heavy rain. Tens of thousands of Yelu soldiers had been waiting for a long time. , suddenly after more than an hour of fierce fighting, he has fallen into a state of combat exhaustion. More than 100,000 Wang Tingjun rushed forward, and the ground was shaking violently. A black iron wall forced its way into the Wang Tingjun array, facing the Wang Tingjun who had not yet had time to run onto their horses, like a sharp knife, along a certain The incisions visible to the naked eye were cut open, revealing the bright red flesh inside.

The leader was another 10,000 cavalry among the 30,000 Baihe pro-army. Following the sharp sword, thousands of Yelu family light cavalry followed. The war horses were like thunder, unstoppable like an iron stream, and they screamed in agony. Amid the exclamations, the first team that came into contact with the Yelu family cavalry group was instantly cut in half and dispersed. Then, tens of thousands of Guards cavalry galloped forward and rushed forward at a high speed visible to the naked eye. , pounced directly on Zaguotemu's main formation.

"Hold them off!"

"They must not be allowed to get close to His Majesty the Khan." The exhaustion and fear of the Wang Tingjun along the way were still written on their frightened faces. They were immediately overwhelmed by the torrent of flying sharp swords. Fifty thousand Wang Tingjun rushed like crazy. , it is not comparable to the more than ten thousand Baihe pro-army troops. By the time the Wang Ting army discovered who was the main force of the attack, the fifty thousand Yelu cavalry had completely disrupted the right wing of the entire Wang Ting army like a whirlwind, and the Wang Ting army was completely defeated.
