Realm of Power

The grass spreads like a mat under the horses' hooves into the distance, and the spring sunshine shines very brightly above the head. Looking at the imperial cavalry spreading like a fan in the distance, Mu Tai knew that it was time to leave, and put the words in his mouth He spit out the grass seeds he held in his mouth to the ground, turned over and mounted his horse. As the spearhead of the Gorgon Army, Mu Tai also stood up at dawn. After seeing that horrifying scene, I didn’t know what kind of weapon the emperor used, but the result was bloody. The sight of five hundred elites smashing their heads and bleeding outside the emperor’s camp scared everyone. Muraze’s Although the bastard was a little more arrogant in the past, his strength was also recognized. He could not die under the intensive shooting of the other party.

Under the white morning light, corpses were pierced by countless arrow clusters, and corpses were nailed to the ground by huge arrow clusters. Even the grassland people couldn't bear the brutal and bloody corpses. In just ten minutes, five hundred The knight was pierced into minced meat. This scene seemed to have been frozen for a hundred years and was deeply imprinted in the minds of all the Wolf soldiers. Mu Tai thought of the scene at that time. Under such circumstances, even the spring sunshine cannot dispel the coolness coming from behind. The empire's combat power is stronger than expected. At least when it comes to long-range archers, the empire's advantage is amazing. No one can attack against such an overwhelming rain of arrows, even if Even the heavily armored Snow Dragon Cavalry can't do it. The sharp ☆ white light that can tear everything apart is the nemesis of all cavalry.

A frontal challenge is unwise. Since a frontal attack is impossible, a superficial retreat is a tactic.

The Gootou Wolf never knew what retreat meant. Qian Ruizi, who claimed to be the bravest warrior on the grassland, did not have the word retreat in his mind. When Langye Wuguang decisively ordered the withdrawal, the large number of teams of the Gootou Wolf Army seemed like a retreat on the grassland. The dewdrops scattered in the morning spread out from the main force of the Goblin Army, like nails buried one by one, in the woodlands, hills, and river valleys scattered along the way. More than a hundred lightly-armed archers were wandering around, with quivers on each side of their waists and eighty barb-barbed arrows. Under the saddles were enough pickled beef jerky for ten days, which was so salty that it made them bitter. But they were absolutely hungry. It was already spring in March, the first grass sprouted on the grassland, and there was food for the war horses. These cavalrymen hid like hidden teeth in the mouth of a wolf. The target is naturally the enemy's most important weak point that lacks protection. The emperor's logistics line. No matter how strong the emperor's combat power is, if the logistics line is cut off, it will be a dead end. The emperor's nearly 100,000 troops entered Onnatso, and the method they adopted was The slow tactic of advancing in heavy groups, this kind of marching like a battle formation, consumes most materials and food.

When the emperor was hovering on the edge of Onnacuo, news about the emperor also spread to the grassland, which was three hundred miles away from Tianlang Mansion, the strategic support point controlled by the emperor. The emperor came all the way and was attacked by the Lei army on the edge. He suffered heavy losses and then held the edge of Onnatso for nearly ten days. The supplies carried should have almost reached the bottom line. If the estimate is correct, the Imperial Team's logistics supplies should arrive in the next few days. Any strong prey has its own weaknesses, such as a human's throat and a wolf's waist. The logistics line is the weakness of this legion.

This is why Langye Wuguang dispersed the main force. The emperor is not a prairie people. They come from the continent further west and travel through thousands of miles of wilderness. Such an army requires huge logistics. When the prairie army marches, the logistics behind them are huge. With countless cattle and sheep, you can get food at any time Supplies, so the grassland army can advance all the way and hit wherever they are. If there are no supplies, they can grab and get them. However, the emperor's army, which looks like a heavy armored group at first glance, cannot do this at all, just like that in the morning. The arrow clusters are covered, and the arrow clusters need to be taken back after the war.

There is only grass on the vast grassland, and no food can grow. To people outside the grassland, it is a barren and barren land with no value at all. But to the grassland people, this is the best gift given to the grassland people by the Immortal God. As a gift, cattle and sheep thrive here, horses can gallop freely, and grassland people can To roll on it, the most important thing is that the vast grassland is naturally repellent to any non-cavalry entry. Logistical problems are far more troublesome for the enemy than actual combat, so the grassland people have known this advantage for a long time. In the grassland As long as they are unwilling to fight, the other side will have nothing to do

This situation has only been broken by the Central Asians in hundreds of years.

At that time, the national power of the Central Asian Empire was at its peak. It covered a vast territory and was good at advancing with heavy infantry groups on the front line. The number of troops was staggering. It launched several large-scale Northern Expeditions on the grasslands and spent a hundred years building advancement fortresses on the edges of the grasslands. The rapid advance was made step by step, and at most, three-quarters of the entire empire was destroyed. All the troops were invested in this project. The military line was stretched out for forty or fifty miles, there were countless barriers, the cold light of the spears covered the frost grass in the wilderness, and the command level was also gathered with famous generals. The essence of several generations appeared in one era, and finally this kind of infantry group Perfect cooperation with long-range shooters, advancing step by step, that was the most glorious era for the Central and African people.

During that period, the grassland tribes were forced to move north one after another. The most important royal court seat, the sacred mountain Tianyin, also fell under the control of the Zhongbia people after the disastrous defeat. The famous Golden Family in the grassland was divided as a result, but for that period In the glorious years, the price paid by the Central and African people was also tragic. The vastness of the prairie and the sacrifice of millions of troops Several Northern Expeditions and the construction of countless barriers consumed national power, even in a country as rich as Zhongbia, at the expense of squandering the national power accumulated for nearly two hundred years, which ultimately led to the decline of that powerful empire. Eventually it was destroyed due to internal conflicts. Hundreds of years of chaos and continuous attacks led to the darkest period.

A tribe in the grassland took the opportunity to rise up, claiming to be a descendant of the Golden Family. They once again recaptured the sacred mountain Tianyin Mountain and reunited the Grassland Khan Court. Because the last Khan of the originally divided Golden Family moved westward and eventually disappeared from the Western Continent. In order to be different, This golden descendant also wanted to show that he was the lord of the grassland protected by the immortal god, so the newly established grassland dynasty called itself Dongting.

Goutoulang's scouts have never fought directly against the emperor, but they have fought against the Zhongbia Empire countless times. They have rich experience in dealing with heavy troop groups. The food cutting road is always the most direct and effective, with great depth. In combat, the logistics line is the biggest weakness. There was no time when the Central and African troops did not come with great momentum. They won't be able to stay for long, and they have to go back in despair due to food problems. If they don't go back, they will eventually be killed by the prairie cavalry who are surrounding them from all sides.

Mu Tai, who was hiding in a birch forest, looked ahead fiercely and calmly, watching a group of black-armored cavalry start to turn a hundred meters ahead, following the direction of the imperial army, with a sneer on his lips.

As expected, these imperial people, who were extremely confident, looked down upon the prairie people at all. Just giving up the search after sending out sentries to alert the army for fifteen miles is like playing with fire. The Imperial people will soon know what it feels like to have a fire in the back. No one can fight on an empty stomach. For seven or eight days, even the bravest Sino-Bian warriors will not be much better than a grassland hen.

The natural strategic depth of the grassland is the greatest barrier for the grassland people and the invincible weapon that drags all enemies into hell.

"The enemy has passed, order all the teams to move closer to me"

Mu Tai raised his hand to make a gesture, and the prairie cavalry in the woods behind him began to surround them. The number was around a hundred cavalry at first. Two hours later, it became 500 cavalry. Four hours later, according to the reports of the following scouts, the emperor's main force had moved forward for twenty miles. He began to set up camp. At this time, the number of cavalry behind him had reached 1,500.

All the scattered teams have returned. The power of the sharp knife had gathered into shape, and the golden sunset rays began to cover the grassland, dyeing every piece of grass golden. Mu Tai heard a commotion from his subordinates behind him, raised his head, and saw in the air at a glance Under the golden sundial that began to droop, a black dot danced back and forth in a figure of eight in the air.

"It's the General's Heiwu." Mu Tai's pupils suddenly tightened, and he saw that it was the General's favorite Heiwu, the king of the grassland sky. Don't look at it now as a small black dot, but it actually has a wingspan of two meters. The giant bird, the figure 8 dance means that the target has been discovered, and it also requires everyone who sees it to immediately move in the direction pointed by the front end of the figure 8 dance.

"It seems to be the Luo Guyuan Defense Line!" Someone identified it and whispered from behind. Everyone looked up at the black spot in the sky. No one spoke, but their eyes were bright and their hearts were full of excitement. The target was captured. !

"Everyone mount up, the general is waiting for us in front!" Mu Tai shouted loudly, and he was the first to rush out of the birch forest on horseback. The cavalry of the brigade followed closely behind, their horse hooves picking up the grass clippings on the ground. He was hit by the wind and hit a tree pole. The black figure-8 dance in the sky, and the prairie cavalry gathering from all directions below, targeting Luo Guyuan.

Twenty miles away, on the tower of the imperial camp that had just been set up, Fatty looked at the smoke and dust rising from the depths of the plain in the distance. Under the setting sun, countless cavalry in sparkling iron armor rushed away like snow, their horseshoes swooping down. The rising smoke and dust rolled like huge waves until they disappeared on the horizon, and the sky was like a big curtain covering the surrounding fields, with a sense of desolation.

"Your Majesty, the 30,000 Dongting cavalry are divided into 16 teams and have all left camp." Murphy O'Brien, wearing heavy general armor, came up from behind, the wooden boards of the sentry tower creaked when he stepped on it, and reported to the fat man in a low voice, " It's just that his subordinates are a little confused. It's okay for His Majesty not to pay attention to the morning attack. But how can His Majesty be sure that these grassland people did not evacuate, but dispersed the main force and chose to ambush after the army?

"And how can your Majesty be sure that the enemy will definitely be in Luo Guyuan?"

"What the Goutoulang Army is best at is ambushing grain roads. This is the grassland, which is boundless. There are no fixed nodes that need to be defended, and there are no fixed attack points, so the grassland people can launch attacks anywhere they think is advantageous. I The army marched forward in such a swagger, how could the other side miss such an opportunity? Don't forget that in the creed believed by the grassland people, as long as they are on the grassland, they are the masters of this grassland, and the grassland is their battlefield. The enemy is still on the grassland, so they have no concept of retreat. Of course, if the enemy is too strong, then look for the enemy's weakness. The weakness of our army is naturally our logistics transportation team. "The fat man said with an unknown smile. Smiling, the lit brazier on the sentry tower shone dimly and brightly on his face, and a trace of sparks was blown by the wind, making the atmosphere even more weird. "As for the enemy being in Luo Guyuan, it is because tonight , the logistics transport team will camp in Luo Guyuan!”

The fat man would not tell Murphy O'Buen that the Wolf Army's Wolf Army would definitely arrange elite attacks on the logistics line if their attack was thwarted. This was actually what Yelu Qiyeguang said.

The Wolf-skinned Wolf is the sharpest fang of the Wolf-skin Army and has a tenacious fighting style. It once gained the reputation of the Wolf-skin Army in the Battle of Dijing in Central Asia.

The fat man didn’t want to be facing tens of thousands of Dongting wolf troops in the Baikonur Mountains dozens of miles away, but he also had to be constantly on guard against the most cunning and ferocious hook-headed wolf behind him. It is difficult to gather together and annihilate a cavalry force, but it is possible to drag these wolves into an environment conducive to siege and siege.

Luo Guyuan is the place he chose to die for this hook-headed wolf. What is Luo Guyuan? It is a raised gorge on the edge of Onnatso. The terrain is high in the middle and low on the four sides. It is the terrain of more than ten miles in radius. The highest point is really not a good place to camp, because at night when the fire is lit, you can see clearly for more than ten miles, but again, because the terrain is uplifted The relationship is condescending, and it is also the most convenient place to establish a defense. Although the Gotowolf Army has a bad reputation, it only has a few thousand people after all. The entire empire's transport team has a total of 6,000 and more than 300 transport carriages. With these carriages, The chariot formation and 6,000 Imperial Guards were enough to withstand the siege of tens of thousands of prairie cavalry, not to mention that he also sent 30,000 Dongting cavalry as reinforcements.

"Will the logistics transport team camp in Luoguyuan? Your Majesty means..." Murphy O'Brien's face first showed a hint of astonishment, and then revealed a sudden realization. Yes, he understood what His Majesty Falcon meant. If these hook-headed wolves really go to Luo Guyuan, even if they are not completely wiped out, at least half of them will die. Looking at the smile on the corner of His Majesty Falcon's mouth, Murphy O'Brien felt an inexplicable coldness in his heart. Thinking about how to hunt and kill cavalry with infantry on the grassland, he knew that this transportation team that was thrown away by His Majesty Falcon as a bait was definitely not some kind of transportation team. Those piles of The back of the carriage, which is full of supplies and covered with tarpaulin, is likely to turn into a pair of imperial heavy crossbows specially designed to deal with cavalry attacks in the next moment. Who can see it in the dark night? Who knows? Not to mention the large-scale massacre that 30,000 Dongting Qingqi will carry out later! (To be continued...)
