dorok mountains

The morning was gray and cold, and the frost that fell at dawn lay fragile on the ground without melting for a long time. ~~

The woods at the edge of the forest stood motionless, and the tops of the pine trees were swaying and spinning in circles, evaporating strangely in the misty air.

Compared to the areas west of the mountains, the Rock Mountains, which are said to block the cold wave for the entire continent, are particularly cold in autumn. Walking by the forest, the thick and cold cavalry armor on my body has been stained with a layer of white frost.

Looking up at the dawn light shining through the leaves above his head, Hu Keqili, who was covered in blood, couldn't help but miss the warm autumn in southwest Virginia, the autumn wind with warm water vapor, and the crisp birds. The morning light in the woods called

Waiting is painful. After waiting for three full days at the entrance of the Palawan Plain and the Dorok Mountains, Shanshan’s belated arrival from Dongting finally put an end to this pain.

In the misty jungle, in the rows of high and low fields, the bodies of the cavalrymen from both sides lay strewn in staggered directions. The thick fog exuded a pungent and strong smell of blood. "Through the white fog, some figures were shaking, and countless torches were swaying, scattered throughout the jungle.

It has been two days and two nights, and the Falcon Cavalry responsible for searching for the remnants of Dongting is still searching for any remaining bushes that may be hiding the Dongting people's retreat. They use their horses' hooves to step over the bushes full of thorns, and use their sharp... The sword of the sword split through the trees in the forest that were difficult to move forward.

"Search carefully, don't let go of any bush, even the corpse must be stabbed, and never let a Dongting person escape." In the hoarse slogan of the officer, the Falcon Cavalry on the horse rushed towards a silent voice. The black tide keeps flowing through the woods around us,

Their eyes were red and swollen, and their steps were weak and feeble. Most of the Falcon Cavalry were so tired that they couldn't even lift the swords in their hands. [This chapter is provided for you] It was a day and night pursuit, and even the energetic Falcon Cavalry could not withstand it. In order to reduce the load, many Falcon Cavalry took off their armor and only wore a A thin piece of mail

In order to escape, they traveled through most of the Palawan Plain. Under the pursuit and interception of tens of thousands of troops, the Dongting people were already at the end of their game. At the moment when he found out that he was ambushed, he made the decision to cut off his tail to cover King Khan's escape. With his skillful horse skills and the desperate blocking of Dongting cavalry, King Dongting Khan led more than 2,000 remaining soldiers into Dorok's camp. In the vast mountains

The Dorok Mountains stretch endlessly, and following the horseshoe marks of the remnants of the East Courtyard's final escape, Hu Keqili led his 5,000 Falcon Guards cavalry to pursue non-stop. The pursuit battle is the most test of the will of the soldiers on both sides. The opponent collided with the cavalry responsible for breaking up the rear from time to time, causing constant casualties and being consumed. In the continuous pursuit battle, the Dongting people were like snowballs under the scorching sun, melting little by little.

Finally, on the fourth day, Hu Keqili gave the Dongting people who were so hungry and dizzy in a forest in the middle of the mountains a fatal blow. 4,000 Falcon Guards cavalry defeated the last 100 or so Dongting people. People surrounded me,

\u0026◇○nbsp; This is the most critical time. Whoever can survive until the last moment will be the winner. The battle ended before dawn. All the more than a hundred Dongting cavalry died in this dense forest. No one surrendered. In fact, there could be no prisoners. The war horses and sword lights intertwined in the darkness, except for struggling to use up their last bit. I slashed with all my strength, even if I wanted to surrender, I couldn't do it.

In the woods full of corpses, the Falcon Cavalry was searching for the corpse of King Hatalu of Dongting Khan. He was the final target of this tracking battle.

There was a noise in the distant mist, followed immediately by another shrill sound of a flute.

Suddenly, towards the area where the flute sounded, countless torches and swords were rapidly approaching. Run straight to the area where the sirens are sounding. Before they reached the halfway point, thunderous cheers rang out from ahead.

"Caught, caught." Alarmed by the huge sound, the crow that had settled in the forest suddenly flew up, making a "scratching" sound as it flew back and forth.

Hearing the call, Hu Keqili's face lit up, and he vaguely guessed something. He galloped forward, and a group of falcon cavalry were gathering in a dense bush in front.

The crowd and the torches showed him the way. The soldiers spontaneously made a way for him, allowing him to ride straight into the center of the crowd without hindrance.

Surrounded by soldiers, a pale-faced old man was caught between several falcon cavalry. He was covered in mud and blood. His body tried to break free several times, but he seemed to have lost support and fell heavily to the ground. If you look carefully, If you look at it, you will find that the old man's face is a strange red color, and there is a large infected wound on his shoulder, with spots of pus and blood.

The injury was very serious, probably caused by the lack of time to take care of him during the days of transfer. Such tetanus is already an incurable terminal disease in this era. Looking at the Falcon Cavalry surrounding him, the old man's eyes were full of resentment and arrogance, even though Already in dire straits, his unruly aura still shows that his identity is extraordinary.

"Who are you?" Hu Keqili waved around, asking the Guards Cavalry to stop making noise, and then turned over and dismounted. He yelled, "You are now my prisoner. Tell us your identity or we can consider giving you some treatment."

As if unable to hear, the old man just raised his head and looked at the northern sky, his eyes looking indifferent, as if he had transcended life and death.

"Speak out your identity and official position. As a defeated person, this is the consciousness you should have." Hu Keqili repeated it in a stern tone, as if trying to make the old man speak in another way. In fact, he also saw that this thing The courtier is dead. Since life and death no longer matter, there is no point in threatening him with such a tone.

This time, his question finally made the old man opposite him react. He turned his head. The old man's eyes were as deep as the eyes of an eagle, giving people an unfathomable feeling.

He looked at Hu Keqili with contempt and said, "Are you the final opponent arranged for me by Falcon? You tell him that a defeat is a defeat and a win is a win, but I did not lose to him, the Vekia Falcon. But I lost to the will of Changshengtian, and only Changshengtian could make me surrender. I am the King of the East Court Hatalu that you have been searching for."

The surrounding falcon cavalry screamed in surprise, and then let out a warm cheer "Long live, long live!"

"Okay, let's send a message to His Majesty. The prey has been captured."

The pursuit battle for nearly half a month finally came to a satisfactory result. Hu Keqili stood up and exhaled a long breath. Looking at King Dongting Khan in front of him, he felt relieved. Although it may not be possible to bring it back alive, it is okay to bring back the body. In fact, when we set off again, Fatty gave an order to see people alive and to see corpses dead. There is no room for failure in this battle.

This battle of Dongting, which lasted for three months, with nearly 200,000 troops strangled each other, from contact, ambush, counter-ambush, pursuit, encirclement and suppression, to pursuit, finally ended.

For this victory, the Falcon Dynasty paid the price of more than 40,000 casualties of its outstanding soldiers from Rebogan to Amira. It was the most painful battle in history, but this battle truly established the Falcon Dynasty's dominance in the northern region. status,

The people of Dongting paid an even heavier price. Nearly 140,000 elite troops were killed in the battle, and the strong national power that had been hoarded for more than 10 years was wiped out. The Dongting grassland was invaded by the West Kujit people because of the lack of troops.
