Realm of Power

The news of the defeat of the Rialu people in the battle soon reached the ears of the commander of the Northland Army, Sara Amon, who was gathering troops and preparing to go to the battle site.

"How is this possible!" Looking at the shocking emergency battle report in his hand, Sarah Amon was even a little distracted. The menacing army of 30,000 Rialu people was overwhelmed by a thousand heavy cavalry?

Riago, the lord of the north, who had been so arrogant in front of him, nearly wiped out his 30,000-strong army. He himself was also trapped by the disintegrating army and disappeared without a trace. 80,000 people were chased by the Dongting Cavalry. After killing them all, only less than 3,000 people escaped. Now the Dongting people's army has passed through the front line of defense of the Rialu people and is heading towards the border of the North.

"Lord Rilang Bogu, it seems that the ruling Lord's prediction is somewhat off." Sarah Aimon handed the battle report in her hand to a white-haired old man wearing a bear head hat behind her with a solemn expression, and said worriedly.

"Judging from the fighting situation, after the battle between the Dongting people and the Falcon Dynasty, instead of weakening, the combat power has been strengthened! According to intelligence, there are 43 Dongting tribe flags appearing on the battlefield this time. The troop deployment was unified and tidy. During the entire battle, there was no sign of the internal divisions in Dongting as previously expected. It seems that the tribes in the central grassland are still loyal to the new Khan. Facing such a united enemy, we are now in a dilemma. Got it!

"That guy Riago has always been an incompetent and arrogant guy. There are many smarter and more talented people than him in the entire northern border. If it weren't for the fact that he does have some strength, this guy The title of Lord of the North cannot fall on his head, "

The old man known as Rilang Bogu looked at the information with a gloomy face, and then said in an old tone, "I was defeated by the Dongting people before, and this time it was such a disastrous defeat! It doesn't matter even if he dies, it's just a pity that the three Thousands of cavalry! That is the hard work of a full generation. If the Rialu people want to return to their original climate, unless a miracle happens!"

"Do we need to send someone to look for him?" Sara Amon asked with some uncertainty.

"Why are you looking for this waste?" The old man curled his lips with some disdain before saying, "The Rialu tribe is finished. Compared with the life and death of the waste Riago, I am more concerned about who the coach of the Dongting people is this time.

To be able to reunite a kingdom that had just collapsed, he must be no ordinary person. Who would have thought that there is such a tactic, using a thousand of the most powerful Ruidian heavy cavalry to perform an unexpected intermediate breakthrough tactic? , which finally caused the turmoil and reversal of the entire war situation. Fortunately, the unlucky guy Riago ran into "

The old man paused for a moment before sighing. He looked at the horizon in the distance and said with some appreciation, "If it were us, I'm afraid the whole army would collapse if we couldn't resist even one round!"

"No way. Could it be that our most famous cavalry with big antlers in the North can't resist this Ruilian heavy cavalry?" I heard that the experienced Rilang Bogu of the company was fighting against the powerful Qian Ruilian heavy cavalry. The cavalry spoke highly of it, and Sarah Aimon, who was born as a warrior in the North, was naturally a little dissatisfied.

"If you have never been to the interior, you naturally don't know how powerful these Ruidian heavy cavalry are!"

Rilang Bogu couldn't help but smile with his wrinkled mouth when he heard that young Sarah Aimon actually used the Northland's large antlered cavalry, compared with the Ruildian heavy cavalry that had dominated the mainland for hundreds of years.

"Haha, you are still young and there are many things you don't know." He looked into the distance with a flash of memories and said in an old and deep tone.

"Twenty-five years ago, there was no unified kingdom here, and we were just some loose tribes. I, Riago, Sidilandi, Kuyar, and Tissa were called the Five Eagles on the Grassland. , at that time King Dongting was just a general of the distant West Prairie Kingdom,

In the absence of any strong enemies, the leaders of our five major tribes united ambitiously and advanced inland with an army of 50,000 people.

Just as you long for this beautiful grassland, we also long for the prosperity and wealth of the inland. We passed through the northern part of the Dorok Mountains, easily defeated the blocking enemies, and then entered a vast plain area. The legendary city full of wealth appears in our sights. It is a majestic city. I can guarantee that we have never thought that there is such a densely populated city. . .

Rilang Bogu seemed to recall some painful memories, and his voice suddenly stopped. Sarah Aimon, who had never been to the inland before, his eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked nervously.

"Then what? Then you rushed in?"

"Then? There is no more, our journey ends here!" Rilang Bogu suddenly shook his head in distress,

"How is that possible? You are an army of fifty thousand people!"

Sara Aimon looked at Rilang Bogu in surprise. From Rilang Bogu's old but energetic face, he could not see any hint of joking. This made Sara Aimon's face darken, as if he had thought of something, and his expression He asked hesitantly, "Have you met the Ruildian heavy cavalry?"

"No, we have encountered a real city wall for the first time!" Rilang Bogu took a deep breath before saying with an embarrassed smile.

"The first time we encountered the defensive walls of the inland people was in the Dorok Mountains. The lords of the Dorok people built some small castles, but they were nothing to worry about, only three or four meters tall. There were high piles of stones with single boards on them, and shooters stood on them. It was so narrow that even turning around side by side was difficult. We simply sent out cavalry, used hooks and ropes to pull apart these meaningless obstacles, and then rushed in. Kill everyone inside!"

But the city walls we encountered inland were two different things. The walls built by those inland people were ten meters high and covered with terrifying mechanisms.

The precious hot oil, which can only be bought and sold with high-grade silver coins on the grassland, was burned hot by those inside, and was poured down from the city wall in large swaths without hesitation.

The archers above also hid behind the thick city walls and shot at us. There was no defense without any breakthrough, so our excellent cavalry troops had to abandon their horses and attack forcefully. Then the heavy infantry of the inland people were like a wall, allowing us to After suffering so much, their heavy armors, shields, and long spears that looked like horse poles caused the corpses of our tribal warriors to pile up on the city wall to a height of half a meter.

The fierce battle lasted for six days before we opened a breakthrough in the east and occupied the most critical city gate. Just when we thought we had achieved a decisive victory and cheered with our scimitars raised high, a golden pair of golden wings suddenly appeared. The lion flag appears in the distant morning light

"It's the heavy cavalry of the Ruidian people!" Seeing the expression on Rilang Bogu's face changing from excitement to gloom, Sara Amon could already tell the answer with certainty.

"Yes, we encountered the heavy cavalry of the Ruidian people!" Rilang Bogu raised his face sadly, looked at the distant sky, as if falling into some kind of terrible nightmare, and said in a slow tone

"We never thought that there would be such a terrifying cavalry unit in the inland. Every body, including the men and horses, was covered with thick armor. When they advanced in neat leaps, even the earth trembled under their horses' hooves. The entire row The spear standing in front, if the autumn wind swept by, penetrated the leather armor of our cavalry with almost no hindrance.

Rilangbogu said in a sad tone, "Later we found out that the kingdom we arrived at was the Ruidian Kingdom, which was the most powerful inland at that time. It was not their main force that was fighting us. Their main force was fighting the Khan Court to deal with us. , just a Ruidian heavy cavalry unit with less than 7,000 men.

But our 50,000-strong army cannot even do the most basic stop. The warriors of the tribe are bleeding, and their corpses stretch from the enemy's border to our border. Of the 50,000-strong army, less than 4,000 people can survive. This is also the main reason why our grassland alliance was completely defeated when the Dongting Khan later conquered the eastern grasslands on behalf of the Western Khanting! If the main force of the five tribes had been around at that time, how could they have been so arrogant by a junior to this day!"

After listening to Rilangbogu's story, Sara Aimon said with a sense of understanding, "Master Rilangbogu, don't you think it's the same as the defeat of the Rialu tribe? First, we tired the enemy, and then used heavy cavalry to execute a fatal blow. , Or, this may also represent the weakness of this kind of cavalry, such as it is difficult to attack quickly due to heavy armor, or it cannot fight for a long time due to physical exhaustion! This may be very useful information for us! "

"Yes, this is indeed the weakness of the heavy armored cavalry, but the Dongting people's accompanying light cavalry can almost perfectly cover up this shortcoming." Rilang Bogu nodded in agreement, and said with some regret, "Otherwise, as long as we find a way to This heavily armed force has introduced a trap, and it is entirely possible to use its superior strength to eat it!"

"What does Mr. Rilang Bogu mean?" Sarah Aimon looked over in confusion.

"After all, this is still our territory. Don't worry too much. This is a cavalry unit. Its natural advantages are as obvious as its disadvantages. We just need to make use of the terrain!" The experienced Rilang Bogu smiled and raised his head to look. Looking at the vast horizon in the distance, the land is vast and seems to have no end.

Sarah Aimon seemed to be thinking about Rilang Bogu's words. He waved his hand and ordered to the army behind him, "All troops turn north!"

70 miles away from here is the Muries Mountains, the boundary of the northern grassland. The tall mountains block the severe cold temperatures from the north. This is the boundary between the Dongting Grassland and the northern cold land. It is also an insurmountable place. natural danger!
