Realm of Power

Zhamuhebi died in battle, and the black cavalry clusters covered the mountains and plains. The fierce battle from the mouth of the valley made the faces of all the tribes waiting for the result turn pale with fright. Just when the tribes were speculating and uneasy, the black imperial cavalry began A mass of cavalry spears stained red with human blood were gathered together in a row outside the valley. The fine black armor made everyone feel their breathing paused.

"My God, with such a group of equipped cavalry, no wonder even the Dongting people were defeated. Is the wind direction of the prairie really going to change! Dongting's greed finally attracted the punishment of Changshengtian!" The white-haired man The leader of the Namqi clan looked at the groups of people in black armor, almost heavy cavalry. The well-prepared imperial cavalry, with old eyes accustomed to decades of wind, frost, rain, and snow on the grasslands, looked at the overwhelming black and the unfamiliar battle flags that swept like a wave and defeated one of the eight main forces of Dongting with an absolutely crushing attitude. Cangjun's body actually shivered.

"Lord Namu, instead of caring about the grassland, it would be better to think more about how to face this new ruler!" Another clan leader next to him said with a worried expression, "Yes, the Dongting people who have always shown off their power were beaten to death. Completely defeated, fleeing in all directions , it can be regarded as a complete end to the rule of this area, but the new ruler may not be better than the people of Dongting. "The overall situation has been decided, and the clan leaders of each tribe have to consider the remaining issues." "If the other party takes us What if everyone becomes a slave? "

Someone said inappropriately, slave! The air suddenly solidified. In the grassland people's war, the weak must surrender to the strong if they want to survive. Tribes get opportunities to grow through conquest and plunder. This concept of using enemies to feed and strengthen themselves like a snowball has long been ingrained. Killing his men and taking away his women are commonplace.

To some extent. Each tribe can be regarded as the trophies that the other side has snatched from the Dongting people by force, including their tribesmen, women, livestock, food, life and death! It was just a word from the other party. The people of Dongting are finished. A new owner has taken over this wilderness. No one knows what the future will be like. "If that's really the case, I, the Data Department, will have no choice but to obey, unless we want to be Extermination! "Someone gritted his teeth and said in a heavy voice, but the others did not say anything. But the palms of each of them are already covered with sweat. Although they remain neutral in this war, no one dares to say that the opponent is not a cruel guy. The result of treating the defeated tribe is often either to be incorporated or the whole tribe is reduced to slavery. The most terrifying thing is The result was a massacre ordered during the war between the steppe khanates. This is not uncommon,

The competition among grassland tribes for the throne is often more cruel! For prairie people who are accustomed to measuring everything by grassland, there are only so many grasslands suitable for grazing. If you feed more people, you will get less good grassland. The enemy's life is not as good as grass. Killing the enemy is to gain more living space.

Just when everyone felt that their palms were sweating and they were suppressed and nervous because their fate was hanging in the hands of others. The assembled black-armored cavalry on the opposite side finally made a move. A black-armored cavalry officer holding a golden spread-winged falcon battle flag came slowly from the opposite side where the corpses of Dongting people were lying.

This black-armored cavalry wears chest plate armor. The spears hanging on the war horses were still stained with blood. They looked towards this side with sharp and terrifying eyes. There was a murderous aura all over their bodies that made the clan leaders shudder. The black-armored cavalry stopped fifty meters away from the entrance of the valley. Raise your flag high,

"According to the decree of the greatest Falcon Khan who walks on the earth, everything here, including land, tribes, water sources, and pastures, belongs to the Falcon Khan! All those who resist will be punished by Changshengtian." The person who said this was naturally Brother Mierjin who was familiar with the Dongting language. He had just avenged his clan. His voice was loud and shocking. The black armored cavalryman fiercely fought the golden falcon in his hand with a cold expression on his face. The flag was inserted into the ground. The metal at the end of the flag was sharp and inserted steadily into the hard frozen soil covered with white snow. The flag was blown by the strong wind and fluttered. The golden falcon on it seemed to come alive. With this move, The clan leaders at the bottom of the valley breathed a sigh of relief in unison. Fortunately, the other party did not raise a blood flag to represent massacre. The other party's action of planting the flag expressed their absolute dominance over this place.

"As long as you show your surrender, you will not be attacked. Although there is a risk of being dispersed and resettled by the tribe, it is better than being massacred by the whole tribe." Some tribe leaders have begun to walk out of the valley entrance, their eyes are looking at the sky, white Under the misty sky, the group of black warriors looked like ferocious beasts squatting in the distance.

The battle between the Falcon Empire and Dongting has completely made all the tribes lose their will to resist. Although each tribe in the valley has nearly 200,000 people, except for the old, weak, women and children and some tribes that followed Dongting to participate in the war and were defeated, the valley is full of people who can fight. There are only about 40,000 to 50,000 men, because there is a lack of unity among all ethnic groups. The coordinated combat troops, in terms of overall combat strength, were far inferior to the regular army of Jamuhebi that had just been defeated. Under such a situation, the clan leaders of each clan walked towards the place where the battle flag was planted at Taniguchi, with respectful expressions on their bent hands. The knives were placed one by one under the battle flag, and then they retreated ten meters away.

Kneel down on your knees and touch your head very heavily to the ground. This is a ceremony to express your surrender to the new ruler. It also means that you are willing to obey orders if you encounter war.

Thus, the Empire's first eastward expansion ended, which lasted for more than two months. While the main force of the Dongting people was still tied to the Central Asian Empire, a large number of troops were dispatched to swallow up the long-coveted Thousand Miles of Wilderness, completely defeating the Dongting people's control over this wilderness, cutting off the Dongting people's first spying on the area west of the wilderness, and using this to gather the scattered forces outside the long wall to establish the Empire's control. With only a small amount of sacrifice, most of the Slavic wilderness was under control.

The 200,000 scattered grassland tribes harvested were divided into three parts. 100,000 people were relocated to the Murphy City area to fill the manpower shortage for the development of the long wall. At the same time, the Empire obtained enough war horse resources, and then the East and West Courts, which contributed the most, each received 50,000 tribes, and obtained the two areas of Tianlang Mansion and Moang River Beach suitable for grassland, and formally established settlements outside the long wall.

In December, heavy snow completely froze the wilderness. The imperial army left 50,000 people to garrison Yueshan Valley, and the rest of the army Returning to the long wall to rest, this game of reckless advancement, which was called an extremely risky gamble by later military scientists, finally ended before the arrival of the real wilderness cold. The defense and logistics construction of the imperial long wall to the Tianlang Mansion was in full swing.

The area east of Tianlang Mansion and Mo'ang River Beach was completely emptied into a white land with no people for hundreds of miles because the grassland people were completely relocated, forming a natural wilderness barrier that Fatty had long wanted to deploy.

With this Slavic wilderness in front, the most elite scouts of the Dongting people could not cross the hundreds of miles of barriers in the extreme cold, which could buy a full winter for the empire.

The empire formed a corner based on the Tianlang River land, which was enough to station troops, the warm Yueshan Valley land, and the Bi'ang River Beach of the grassland people, which could attack and defend.

Winter provided the empire with enough relaxation period to digest all this. The empire also quietly grasped the strategic initiative in front of Dongting, the biggest threat in the future. Time turned to the new year in this way (to be continued...)
