Realm of Power

At the northern border of Rila, the sky is not yet bright, and the crystal clear white dew in the early morning is still condensed on the grass stems and leaves, flowing like a white water ribbon on the ground. The Hungarian Prime Minister Wu Ya, who has been awake all night, is standing in front of the Hungarian Spanish Army. In the military tent of the base camp, the stern face was full of haggard, and only a pair of eyes shone like starlight.

In front of him hung a dizzying map of the situation, filled with red and blue. What is shown is the current confrontation situation between the Western Army and the Ruila Army. The red is the Hungarian Army, which is like a red wide border, almost completely covering the sideline of the blue Ruila Army. It can be seen from the map that the Western Army is During this period, the Western Army was not just sitting back and watching the Eastern Army. The Western Army was also fighting, but the scale of this battle was still limited to one place. In the battle for a city, the advantage of the Western Army's medical record has been fully exposed. The number of 300,000 Western Army is really more than the number of opponents, but the 110,000 Ruila Army is too much." To contain the main force of Ruila with superior strength, it only needs Waiting for the Eastern Army to march north and defeat it, we can form an internal and external encirclement situation in one fell swoop, and then the world will be decided in one battle."

Talking about this, even if a Hungarian soldier is picked out from the camp, he can say this. Because of this idea, no matter who is willing to fight, everyone in the Western Army thinks that Ruila Already poor enough to reach the end of the street, Ruila hit The current situation has indeed reached the point of exhaustion. The southern part has been swept into a white field by the Eastern Army, and the prosperous royal capital has been looted and ruined by the Hungarian remnant army. It has reached this level. According to the usual temperament of the Rila people, this time The battle is a fight to the death! Whoever pounces on either side of the war will be bitten to death by the other side! The entire Hungarian Spanish Army is waiting to see when the Eastern Army will advance north. Everyone believes that the defeat of the opposite Rila Army is determined. Now it is just a question of how to grab more loot. Rila is like a The huge prey is on the verge of death, and everyone is waiting for it to collapse.

But just yesterday. The situation suddenly became strange.

Last night, Wu Ya was pulled out of Princess Hung Ya's bed by his adjutant. The urgent report placed in front of him made the Prime Minister of Hung Ya, who was still intoxicated by the fragrance of beauty, break out in cold sweat on his spine. Why? Maybe, even if hundreds of emergency rescue reports were presented to him in reality, he still wouldn't be able to believe them. The troops of the Spanish Hungarian Army closest to the Rila border unexpectedly sent out a request for help report. During the war, there were fighting, requests for help, and rout. This was nothing, but if the length of this border line was completely shaken, It's fifty miles, which is enough to make people feel incredible.

Hungarian Prime Minister Wu Ya’s eyebrows knitted together tightly. There was a sound of soft footsteps coming from outside the tent door behind me.

He turned around and looked at the attendant of the Grand Prime Minister's Mansion who walked in behind him with bloodshot eyes. He asked in a condensed voice, "Rilal, have you figured out the situation ahead? What happened to the full-scale counterattack of the Rilal people mentioned in the army reports? Reports for reinforcements were sent from all the troops along the entire fifty-mile border. , when did the Rila people have such strength!"

"I'm sorry, not yet. The situation happened too suddenly. The intelligence department couldn't react at all!" The Liral aide was over forty years old, with thick short black hair and bright eyes that flashed like brilliance. For the Hungarian Prime Minister Wu Ya Confused, he gave a disdainful grin and explained, "But the Prime Minister doesn't have to worry too much. Even in Rila's heyday, there was absolutely no such strength! For a fifty-mile long line, if you want to launch a full-scale attack, you need to invest at least twenty A troop strength of more than 10,000”

"According to the current residual strength of the Ruila people, this is absolutely impossible! Ran chose to take the initiative to attack. If my subordinates guessed correctly, this is a sign that the Ruila army wants to withdraw from the northern front!"

The middle-aged valet Lilar spoke calmly, not like an ordinary valet at all, but more like a battle-hardened general. This man was a member of the Hungarian army that Prime Minister Wu Ya had won over with huge profits. A major general in the Ya army was squeezed by factions and eventually joined Wu Ya. Regarding this person's ability, Wu Ya knew very well that this was a veteran general on the battlefield. In terms of command ability, he could also be ranked among the top five Hungarian generals. If it hadn't been for something that was not handled properly, Military Prime Minister Baidurasu felt guilty. After hearing his opinion, he was insulted by other peers. How could he be one of the six armies of the Military Prime Minister's Office?

"If it's an evacuation, then it's more explainable!"

Wuya took a deep breath, and his face finally relaxed a little. He must have been too worried. The Eastern Army on the side of Military Prime Minister Baidu Lasu was so powerful that they took over the southern part of Rila in one fell swoop. They were already suppressing them. Reinforcements from the southern frontier of Rilla and the Falcon Empire, with all their strength Once the strategy of going north to join forces is successful, Ruila will be the prey of the Hungarians. The main force of the Falcon Emperor is still contained in Gangfei. Even if Gangfei fails and is swallowed up by the Falcon Empire, the main force of the Emperor who has withdrawn his army and returned will rush to the rescue with all his strength. The battlefield should also be the crumbling south! Could it be that I am really too worried? Suspicious?

Even so, there was always a bad feeling lingering in his heart. That feeling reminded him of the embarrassing feeling of being chased for more than ten miles by a huge white rhinoceros in the wilderness while hunting in his youth. Could it be that? Are you being targeted? Who could it be? As the Prime Minister of Hungary who is in charge of national government affairs, and now the commander-in-chief of the 300,000-strong Western Army, he is the one with the highest voice for the new Hungarian King in the future. He knows that at every moment, he is being watched by the ambitions of others. He was already used to this feeling, but tonight, this feeling was so strong that it seemed to make a silent chirp, as if it was a violent reminder of something!

In the early morning, more accurate news came. Prime Minister Wu Ya stood up from his seat with a pale face. The gorgeous wine glass inlaid with rubies he was holding in his hand fell to the ground with a clang, and the red wine inside splashed on the ground. , making the ruby ​​wine glass look like it was stained with blood. The 30,000-foot cavalry led by Batu on the left wing had been defeated in last night's attack! This news was like a slap in the face, waking up the prime minister. This was a big joke. Was it possible to defeat the left wing of 30,000 people in one fell swoop overnight, or was it a sign that the other side was about to retreat?

This is an attack, a real attack!

He immediately asked Liral to be found, handed the battle report to Liral, and asked in a deep voice, "Do you still think this is a precursor to retreat?"

Lilar was silent. He heard the news of the defeat of the Batu tribe. Although the fighting strength of the clan army where the Batu tribe was located was not strong, there were still 30,000 living people, and the opponent could be defeated in one fell swoop. It proves that the amount of troops invested definitely exceeds this number.

"I appoint you as the commander-in-chief of the left wing of the Western Army, and then mobilize 40,000 horse archers from the base camp for you. While the opponent's foothold is not stable, we must concentrate our efforts to recapture the left wing! You must know that once the left wing is lost, the consequences will be disastrous." Wuya looked serious He looked at Lilar and said in a solemn voice,

His military ability is average, but he also knows that if the side of the front is breached, it basically means that the entire front is under enemy attack. No one likes to expose their abdomen to other people's sharp blades. The most important thing is that once this news spreads to other tribes, the military morale will be shaken. It took him two months to finally use the interests as the belief to gather the Western Army tribes. department, there is a danger of falling apart! , when it is beneficial, everyone will naturally compete for the first place. If it really comes down to fighting to the death, it's hard to say. After all, the Western Army is just a coalition of armies from various ethnic groups, not a regular army like Baidu Lasu.

Liral nodded. After accepting this order, the Hungarian general felt confused about his misjudgment last night. Was it really an attack? Did you make a mistake in your judgment? All right. Even if it is an attack, what kind of force can defeat the 70,000 people on the left wing in one fell swoop, although the main body of the Western Army is not strong. But being able to defeat 30,000 people in one night with a strong attack line is not an easy task! He set off with 40,000 Hungarian cavalry mobilized from the Hungarian base camp, killing everyone along the way and raising his speed to the extreme. At this time, I no longer care about the size of the movement.

"Sir, our vanguard has arrived at the Kesez outpost."

Hearing the report from the scout captain, Lilar looked away from the map in his hand. The square face covered with brown beard nodded with satisfaction. Hurrying slowly, he finally arrived before the enemy dispersed through the gap. He stopped his horse and felt the cool evening air blowing in his face.

In the distance, the mountains spread out layer by layer, and the ancient trees and vines in the nearby mountains flew away. Lilar tightened the reins of the horse in his hand. He admitted that when he learned that there were 30,000 people on the left wing a few hours ago, The news of his defeat almost broke out in a cold sweat all over his body. He didn't expect that the already out-of-breath Ruila Army would have such crazy courage. With a severe shortage of troops, they would take the initiative to provoke and tear a corner of the opponent's defense line. This is not a strategy or tactic, nor is it a victory. This is suicide! He has taken control of the outpost on the passage and sent people to mobilize troops to the adjacent tribes. Soon, the troops of other tribes will fully surround this breakthrough and kill all these daring Rila people!

Unless, defeating the Batu tribe is not a crazy move, but a precursor to a larger attack. Using the Batu tribe's defense area as a breakthrough, greater troops will be poured in to tear the entire Hungarian western flank into pieces, and then Really sweeping across the entire Western Front! This thought chilled him to the bone. I deduced it over and over in my mind, this is not true. However, everything on the combat map told him that the Batu defense area was the highest-lying area on the left wing, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as this gap remained, the opposing army could continue to move in until the entire left wing was reached. The power to tear apart,

The situation was serious. He did not dare to hesitate any more and immediately ordered the troops to move out of the Batu defense area where the troops were lost. There was no time to wait for the troops of other tribes. They could move as much as they could and regain the lost gaps in advance. Kill the dangerous situation and make this plan The enemy is very bold. Once they really gain a foothold in the gap, they can, at worst, contain half of the Hungarian Spanish army's strength against the threat to the entire Western Front, reduce the pressure on the front of the Rila people, and to some extent Unfortunately, your luck ends here! How could I, Lilar, sit back and watch this battle succeed! "Forward, forward with all your might!"

He shouted loudly, and the hooves of the 40,000 Hungarian horse archers flew forward, and a wave of heroism emerged as they pointed their swords at the enemy's formation!

The horses' hooves trampled through the soft grass. A group of cavalry slowly appeared on a hillside not far away. Among them, a young man wearing wolf head and shoulder armor stopped the horse on the hillside. The golden sunshine shone on the young man's face. On his face, there was an indescribable toughness in his somewhat delicate face, and at that time there was a heart-stopping wildness.

Behind him, there were more than a dozen generals from the West Courtyard of the Prairie wearing fine cavalry mail. The young man stared at the Hungarian cavalry rushing past like a tidal wave below. None of the generals behind him were born, just like a wolf king. The pack of wolves in front can only bow and obey orders, "Are these the Huns who were rumored to have migrated from the northern prairie more than a hundred years ago?"

The eyes of young people. The corner of his mouth curled up coldly, "It's too weak. It's just asking for death. Not to mention the huge momentum of such a large army marching, even the forward scouts were only sent out for ten miles, and they only knew how to explore on the main road. They had long forgotten the vastness of the grassland. , is the most terrifying ups and downs of murder. Can an eagle leave the grassland still be an eagle? "

"Order the army to encircle, and the hunting begins!" The young man raised his hand.

"Yes!" A general from Xiting took off the compound bow from his back. A sharp fang arrow visible to the naked eye flew into the sky, and large black cavalry began to appear from three directions, even showing a large moving shadow on the horizon ahead. At this time, Liral was marching towards the so-called gap. You can also clearly hear the rumble of horse hooves,

The large black shadows that appeared continuously from three directions made his pupils shrink.

"This is!"

Lilar looked stunned, even in disbelief. The other party actually divided their forces to surround him, which made him angry. Are you kidding me? He has 40,000 horse archers. Even if it's a close combat, there are still 40,000 cavalry. What does the opponent think of themselves? They divide their troops and encircle them! This is so humiliating.

"Go forward, charge in close combat!"

Liral drew his saber, and both sides were cavalry. Moreover, the strength of the opponent's troops is unknown, and he is the one being surrounded. Once he is entangled, he will die. It is stupid to stubbornly use bow shooting. The best way to defeat this kind of three-sided encirclement is to open a gap as quickly as possible. Upon hearing his order, the Hungarian cavalry who had already taken out their horseback bows put on their melee scimitars.

The black cavalry on the opposite side was also accelerating, and the thunderous hoofbeats made the ground shake slightly. "Move forward, Changshengtian!" A huge shout suddenly split the sky, and the black cavalry was approaching quickly, like a dazzling light belt, it was a killing cloud, a steel-cold flash of thousands of people. caused by the turbulence! The horse's hooves quickly stirred up the soil on the ground, like several huge rolling dragons

"Eternal Life Heaven? Lilar's face was stunned for a moment. The other party's weird pronunciation reminded him of a kind of prayer that has been passed down for generations in the clan. At the moment when he was stunned, he suddenly felt the sky above his head. When it got dark, he raised his head and saw the overwhelming cold light pouring down like a torrential rain.

At this moment, the pupils of all the Hungarian cavalry who were charging forward dilated several times, cavalry archers! The opponent is an archer! You bastard, you made a mistake in judgment! Lilar had the urge to vomit blood. He was deceived by the aura of the opponent's melee cavalry, who were wearing armor and firing guns, with blood-red tassels and ferocious faces. It's no wonder that 30,000 people in Batu's tribe were defeated overnight. If the opponent was also the same The cavalry archers can completely rely on their numerical advantage to make Batu's tribe unable to fight back. The cold light becomes bigger and bigger until it turns into a rain of death, and "sharp arrows" are fired. The sound that pierced his body filled his eardrums, like crackling lotus leaves in a heavy rain. The shooting of the prairie rangers was extremely powerful, not to mention the tens of thousands of strong bows that suddenly opened. Under the saturated coverage, the Hungarian cavalry who were hit by arrows seemed to have encountered a black baptism. The cavalry on horseback was covered with arrow clusters, and their bodies rolled down from their horses in an unnatural posture.

"kill!"

Amidst the earth-shattering shouts of killing from the cavalry on both sides, the cavalry from both sides rolled in like a wave and approached at an incredibly high speed! The densely packed scimitars, the ferocious faces of the cavalry, the white air spurting out from the horses' nostrils, the soldiers and horses galloping forward, as powerful as a storm, as fierce as a hurricane, killing and impacting in a dense formation, more from the side of the impact point Kugit safari speeding by Soldier, the underworld man opened the powerful compound bow in his hand. There was a sound of bow strings trembling in the air like wasps flapping their wings. Feather arrows scattered all over the sky. The war horse galloped. The archer on the horse leaned back on the war horse, forming a strange balance point

Riding horses and shooting bows is a special skill of the Kugit people. Even children at the age of three will learn this skill with a small toy bow.

"Eat them all! Leave no one behind!"

The young man looked at the prey struggling in the encirclement with cold eyes. He watched the war horses crash into the opponent's horse archers like clusters of arrows. Countless weapons were swung, such as spears, scimitars, and hammers, slashing and smashing during the impact. There were bloody holes in their bodies as big as the mouth of a bowl, or their fur hats and heads were smashed into rotten watermelons, and they all fell from their horses. The man fell on his back, and the blood splattered,

Seeing that the front end of the opponent's cavalry charge was defeated, and the killing line surrounded on three sides, the opponent's cavalry fell off their horses one after another. The opponent's ability to charge in close combat was really not very good. After a few collisions, the array was overturned, and the corpses rolled over. Some of them were not dead. The people begged and screamed. Even though they could no longer get up and begged for their lives, their cavalry still mercilessly chopped them down from head to shoulders.

In this battle, 90,000 prairie cavalry ambushed 40,000 Hungarian cavalry. If even one Hungarian cavalry was allowed to escape, it would be a great shame for oneself! (To be continued...)
