Realm of Power

The rain falls continuously, covering the sky and the earth into a vast expanse of white. This white is no longer the frozen snow in winter, but the joy of rain moistening things. It heralds the end of the cold winter and the return of spring. The earth has become puddles everywhere. wetlands. The prairie horse teams gathered on both sides of the Ganla River were in iron armor, waiting for the emperor in front to crash into them. Although it was already the breath of spring, the winter cold had not completely receded. Under the heavy rain, it became even worse. Showing dampness and coldness,

The patrolling prairie cavalry, all wearing their felt hats, kept breathing out long white breaths.

The vast prairie people's camps along the river have all driven out their livestock, cattle and sheep. The various tribesmen who are attached to the 500-lyon Nacuo swamp are now crowded near the river bank. There are more than 200,000 people in total. , the camp stretches for thirty or forty miles, spread out around several large towers with the East Court flags, and the layers are stacked like a huge plane.

Winter is the great enemy of the grassland people, and all ethnic groups gather together to watch and help each other. Now it is early spring, which is the season when livestock that have been tired for a winter are released to look for grass. However, under the order from the East Courtyard, all ethnic groups have to hold back their thoughts. Gathered here waiting for the next order, the news from the front also made these grasslands The tribes were secretly frightened. The imperial army's vanguard, which occupied the Tianlang Mansion area last winter, had silently reached the edge of Onnacuo. If the brave Lei Army had not severely dampened the emperor's spirit, now the emperor would have The horse hooves of the ** regiment should have stepped on this grassland that has not been touched by outsiders for hundreds of years.

As the Right Prime Minister's Baihe army and His Royal Highness the Grand Prince's Lang Rui army moved in, the atmosphere of the battle suddenly became solemn in the sky above the Onnatso Swamp. Now even a blind person can see that the Grand Prince is about to make a big move. The Lang Rui Army has always been led by the great prince's confidant general Ananinge. It is one of the three famous armies under the great prince's command.

This time, the grassland defeated the imperial capital of the Central Asians, a centuries-old enemy, in one fell swoop. Lang Rui's army was one of the main forces moving south. They attacked fiercely all the way, filling up the important Central Asian town of Ninghua with tens of thousands of Central Asian slaves, and cut off 200,000 people in one fell swoop. The main army of the Central Asian Empire flatters the food road of the military barrier army. As a result, this largest group of heavy troops in the central part of the Zhongbia Empire finally had to abandon the three outer branch cities that had been guarding for two months due to lack of food. Otherwise, the Dongting armies would have suffered at least 100,000 casualties before they could branch off and reach the capital of Zhongbia. city, not to mention that they finally worked together to defeat the prosperous metropolis where it was rumored that even red and pink rouge could flow for thirty miles.

This battle. It is said that the eldest prince made the biggest profit, followed by the third prince, who was a step slower. In addition, the second prince, who lacked troops, also captured tens of thousands of slaves and returned, but he was short of food in the winter. Although the imperial capital of Zhongbia was conquered and there were countless gold, silver and jewels, the food was pitiful. This was the third time Dongting went south in two years. They destroyed and massacred all the way. The prosperous northern part of Zhongbia was almost killed. It became a white land, and millions of Central Asians turned into innocent souls under the hooves of the Dongting Army, with their bones piled high, and now the army is returning. There was no place to collect military rations even if they wanted to, and the grassland people themselves couldn't take care of it. There was still excess food for the slaves. In the end, many of the Central and Bian captives who followed the army to the north had starved to death before they even reached the north. There is even a rumor that the army and war horses returning this time are all cannibals.

Annaninge, commander of the Wolf Rui Corps, stood under a large colorful tent with a fluttering tent. A black and shiny cavalry spear was deeply embedded in the ground, and the reins of the war horse were tied to the spear. Annaninge looked solemnly at a large camp in the distance near the river on the left. The silver-white wolf flag flutters on the top of the camp, where is the tent of Yelu Hongtai, the right minister of the East Courtyard. This right minister asked himself to lead the Baihe pro-army to station in Onnatso, the gateway to the west of the grassland, which is weird in itself.

Who doesn’t know that this old fox has always wanted to jump out of the situation in the East Courtyard. It seems that he won’t help anyone, but in fact, he has 60,000 Baihe soldiers in his hands. No matter who among the three princes becomes the new king, he The position of this right phase is firm and cannot be any firmer.

And the old fox has been in the royal court for thirty years. There are countless vines, even the old king is a little afraid, and it has extraordinary prestige among the tribes in the East Courtyard. Now the Khan King has not been decided, and the powerful tribes are waiting and watching. The three princes are fighting for the Khan King, which leads to the division of the Eighth Army. The strength and appeal of the court have been It is not as good as before. The grassland has always been a place where power changes frequently. There are countless heroes and tyrants. The rise and fall of tribes changes every hundred years. One clan rises and another is destroyed. Even the Golden Family did not escape this fate.

Under such circumstances, how dare the eldest prince let the old fox pat his butt and go to Onnatso? ,

Five Hundred Leon Nacuo has always been a geomantic treasure land with a large number of tribes. It is completely possible to use the Baihe pro-army as a basis to gather the manpower of various tribes to form a confrontation with the royal court in a short period of time. This time the Lang Rui army followed closely. It is also for this reason that the Right Prime Minister must not be allowed the slightest chance. Although the Baihe pro-army is The Royal Guards had been weakened by the joint efforts of the three princes, and their strength was not as good as before. Not only were the six Royal Guards with outstanding combat capabilities transferred south for various reasons, but there were also very few veterans who had fought more than three times. , the current 60,000 people were formed by Right Prime Minister Yelu Hongtai recruiting new tribesmen.

Looking at the scene in the distance, you can see how low the combat effectiveness of this Baihe pro-army is. Outside the big tent, the named tribal leaders and nobles of various tribes are commanding the people below in the camp. Running back and forth, their shouts and shouts could be heard from time to time in the rain, commanding and dispatching their clan soldiers to form formations. , all kinds of flags are fluttering, and they can be loose and collapsed. In the wet and cold rain, these Baihe pro-army soldiers, whose clothes and armor are soaked and slippery, appear thicker. Under such a rain curtain, it seems that they are still Not waking up from the winter, the men and horses seemed a little listless, wiping their faces full of rain all the time.

"Sir, that old fox won't really go to war, will he?"

Lieutenant General Long Cole sneered disdainfully. Such grassland cavalry is also called the Eighth Army of Dongting? Just kidding, they are average among ordinary clan soldiers, but in front of the Lang Rui Army, one can fight three. It is a pity that the Baihe Guards have ruined the illustrious reputation they have gained for decades. They can’t even complete a set of armors and lances. Can't stand up, let alone be beaten to pieces by a rain, the queue is skewed, and morale is low. If you can't call it an elite just by shouting twice in the rain, can such an army go to the battlefield?

If he were to fight against the Wolf Rui Army, Longcor would be absolutely confident that he would defeat this large army of 60,000 soldiers within half an hour, let alone. Opposite was the Falcon Empire's army, and people like Zhamu Hebi were killed by the Emperor in one breath, throwing off their armor and armor, and lost their lives in the Tianlang Mansion.

Although Wu Gudli of the Lei Army claimed to have severely damaged the Imperial Army's forward, the result of that battle was for everyone to see. If you and Wu Gudli were strong enough, how could you be defeated by a group of 30,000 Imperial cavalry that broke in first? Defeated and ran hundreds of miles all the way. When I arrived at the gate of Onnacuo, I thought of counterattacking the opponent once, but that time, he was held tightly by the opponent. People with a discerning eye will not rub the sand. Since Wu Gudri severely damaged the emperor's body, why did he enter Angnacuo? After accepting the mistake, the first thing was not to find a fighter opportunity to fight back and expand the victory, but to plunge into the Onar River Valley, which was most conducive to defense. He stayed inside and couldn't come out. Instead, the number of scouts sent out tripled. It looked like he had been beaten with a stick.

Even Wu Gudri, who claims to have taken advantage of him, has become a coward. Is the emperor still weak?

According to the limited information currently available, the main force of the imperial army is still concentrated at the gate of the Onnatso swamp, and the troop strength is still increasing. It seems that they are preparing to have a good fight with Dongting in Onnatso, Anna Brother Ning thought this way. If the old fox really fought with the emperor, he would watch from the side. If he dares to play tricks, with the combat power of the Wolf Rui Army, he will take the head of this old guy, and there will be more than 200,000 tribesmen in addition to the five hundred lions. As for Wugudli's Lei Army, it is not an area that can be captured at once. As long as the eldest prince ascends to the throne of Khan and the main force of the East Court moves westward, Onnatso will be able to capture it.

On the edge of Onnatso swamp, outside the camp where the emperor is. A series of wooden watchtowers have been erected in a hurry in the past few days. The Emperor's crossbowmen stood on them, completely blocking the eyes of the Dongting scouts. The Dongting army scouts can now see the Emperor's camp. Infantry in formation. There are also armored light cavalry passing through, the formation is quite strict, and they look like they are ready. Not to mention that behind such a camp array, there are also a large number of heavy armored cavalry to vaguely support! Most of these East Court scouts are Wugu Deli's Lei Army. Ever since they were beaten to collapse by Murphy O'Brien's heavy armored dragon cavalry on the border, W Gu Deli has focused all his attention on the Empire's heavy cavalry.

He believed that once the imperial cavalry group was assembled, it would be the time for the imperial army to launch a full-scale attack on the Onnatso area.

In terms of combat effectiveness, Wu Gudri believed that his Lei Army was not inferior to the Imperial Cavalry, but the Empire's unique heavy cavalry killing formation was fatally suppressive to his Lei Army. He had already sent people to report this situation to Kaijin. Ananinge of Onnatso and Right Minister Yelu Hongtai informed him, but the feedback was not good. Ananinge was concerned about the so-called The imperial heavy cavalry sounded quite disdainful. They believed that on the vast grassland, the slow heavy cavalry was a target. Unless the opponent completely trapped them from all sides, the heavy cavalry would not even think about it even if they gave the opponent another thirty years. Touching his horse's tail, the Right Prime Minister's reply to the Imperial Heavy Cavalry was just a thank you. Wu Gudli was not a fool. How could he not see that the Lang Rui army and the Baihe pro-army were seemingly inseparable. In order to avoid being involved in this whirlpool, he withdrew the Lei army to the Onner Valley, which was thirty or forty miles away from the two armies.

"We have already reached such a situation, do we still want to kill them all?"

In the large tent of the Baihe Pro-Army, an old man with a ruddy face wearing a gray-white robe walked through the tent door with cold eyes, looking directly at a huge gray wolf flag occupying the upper reaches of the river several miles away, with a condescending attitude. Ashen, showing that he is deeply angry about the current situation,

He is Yelu Hongtai, the right prime minister who has been in charge of the internal affairs of the royal court for thirty years. The Yelu clan was originally a large tribe in the grassland. Because the grassland is close to the Central Asian region, it is much more influenced by the Central Asian culture than the grassland tribes. It is also better at internal affairs than other grassland tribes. It has been the person in charge of the internal affairs of the royal court for generations. This time, the old Khan died unexpectedly, and the three princes refused to give in, so that the eight armies of the royal court that shocked the grassland split. The old man who has been quietly cultivating his own power and prestige has been able to surface. The Yelu family has served the grassland Khan court for generations and has a good relationship with the various tribes in the grassland. The order documents sent by the royal court to various tribes are all issued by the Yelu family. Over the past few decades, no matter how big or small the tribe is, they have regarded the Yelu family as the spokesperson of the royal court.

After the death of the Khan, the Yelu family could only declare neutrality in a hurry. This led to the fact that no matter which prince ascended to the position of Khan, the first thing they could not tolerate was the Yelu family who had shaken the Khan's prestige. Fortunately, the old man mobilized the family's hidden many With the power of the year, he firmly grasped the Baihe Army, one of the eight armies. Although it was just an empty army, it had tens of thousands of people. In addition, he asked to station in Angnacuo in the west to guard the grassland, so he could escape from the murderous intent. However, the eldest prince's Langrui Army followed closely, and the murderous intention was so undisguised that how could this old man who had been in charge of Dongting's internal affairs for thirty years not be angry

Re-uniting the people's hearts is easy to say, but it is powerless to do it

As the right prime minister of Dongting, how could he not see that the Khan's rebellion had shaken the foundation of Dongting. The Eight Armies of Dongting were the elite of Dongting, but now, they have become a weapon for killing each other. Among the three princes, the eldest prince has the strongest power, but the worst tolerance. He has already expressed his concession to such a degree, but he still sent the Langrui Army to put himself in a dead end.

The second prince's ability and strategy are not bad, but it's a pity that he always likes to plan a retreat. If a person has the idea of ​​retreating, what can he use to fight for the grassland Khan of the King of Kings?

The third prince seemed smart, and he would share the wealth he had obtained with his subordinates. In fact, he didn't know that the more he did this, the more he forced the other two to join forces to get rid of him. Without real strength as a backing, those tribes that received the favor would not even utter a word.

No matter what the result is, Dongting is no longer the original Dongting. Despite the glorious record of defeating the Zhongya Imperial Capital, the prestige of the royal court has greatly declined, and the various tribes have risen. The situation of division is already doomed.

"Under this situation, the Yelu family can't just wait to die and surrender. Since the eldest prince is so determined, don't blame me, Yelu Hongtai, for being heartless!" Yelu Hongtai's mouth corners slightly grinned, and he pressed a newspaper in his hand heavily on the table. The combat power of the Baihe army is poor, but aren't the troops that can fight in the gate of Annacuo? (To be continued.)
