Realm of Power

North of Kyoto in the Istan Empire,

Ruitang Tingna, the princess of the East Court, stopped her horse on a raised plain mound. A pair of slightly slender eyes swept across the vast plain with rich vegetation in front of her. Behind her, 50,000 East Court cavalry stood at attention, armor and blades The reflection continued like a long line, and the golden embroidered battle flag swept upright in the wind, and the chilling air rose into the sky.

"Stop the whole team!" With a coquettish cry, the strange blue prairie blue moon sword was raised under the sight of 50,000 Dongting cavalry. On the opposite side of the Dongting cavalry, the centurions of each cavalry team had a plate erected on the back of their armor. The falcon leaned against the flag, and the horse archers in the back row spread out to both sides. The wind blew violently, rolling up the vast mist on the earth. There were one hundred people in one team, and countless flags flew with the sound of the horses in the strong wind. Sounding like a dense war drum,

The rushing horses' hooves stopped quickly, like an avalanche about to accelerate, but suddenly they all stopped,

The superb horse control skills displayed by this hand made the Hungarian cavalry commander Yaosun a little stunned when he saw this scene from a distance, not to mention the several Hungarian generals who were following him. Everyone was originally worried about what was about to happen. The arriving Dongting cavalry was still a little unconvinced. Although the Hungarian cavalry was completely defeated in the Battle of Rise, the last-minute battle The battle also allowed the Hungarians to save a bit of face, and at least it proved that the Hungarian cavalry was not completely incapable of fighting against the imperial cavalry. Since entering the battlefield of Istanbul, the Hungarian cavalry has won consecutive battles, and now it is even more powerful. After suppressing the Southern Allied Forces base camp, the morale of the troops continued to improve. It was no longer the same as when they entered the battlefield with a certain death intention at the beginning.

"As expected of the East Court, one of the two courts in the empire!"

Yao Sen's hand on the riding whip tightened. This lone Hungarian wolf, who led 50,000 Hungarian cavalry and suppressed the southern base camp of the coalition forces with the main force of the army, had dust on his face and body, but his eyes were brighter. After a while, there were no cavalry with such a tough aura in Hungary, but they were only available to the bodyguard cavalry of the military prime minister Baidurasu. The total number is about five thousand. Each cavalryman is a young man who has returned from the journey of a warrior. He is a warrior who feels the soul of his ancestors. And this cavalryman in front of him. They have the same aura, but the number is a full 50,000. The chilling and bloody feeling that rushes towards his face makes Yaosun think of the first thing he thought of a hundred years ago, when the Hungarian ancestors came to this land on horseback. . Is it just like the scene in front of you?

"Attendant of the third-level imperial guard, Your Majesty, Yao Sen pays homage to Her Royal Highness the Princess!" Yao Sen, wearing heavy armor, knelt down in front of Ruitang Tina's horse, his voice was extremely respectful, and he knocked his head heavily on the ground. ,

"Your Excellency Yao Sen, please get up. Although I am the imperial princess, I am not qualified to accept such a great gift from an imperial general!" Ruitang Tingna got off the horse with a smile on her face and personally helped Yao Sen up. There is no airs like a princess at all.

"Hungya is a vassal of His Majesty, and the princess is naturally our mistress. Such etiquette is reasonable and reasonable!" Yao Sen replied respectfully. Now the entire Hungary is a vassal of the emperor, and the Falcon Emperor is the Khan of Hungary. King, Yaosun, as a Hungarian general, naturally also carries the military rank of the Emperor's Guards, with a third-level Guards entourage. Already at the level of Guards Squadron Leader,

"Your Excellency Yaosen is too polite! I wonder what the current trends of the southern coalition forces are?"

Of course Ruitang Tingna didn't know this, but when she saw Yao Sen being so respectful, she felt even more relieved. Originally, she was worried that these Hungarians were a little unruly, so she played the trick just now. The Hungarians burst out in such a storm that they almost turned the entire Central and European countries upside down. However, due to bad luck, they crashed into into the hands of an even more outrageous fat man.

"Although the coalition base camp troops are moving closer to the Lulan area, their movements are extremely slow. They have only reached the vicinity of Aslando Fort, which is still eighty miles away from the Lulan area," Yaosen replied.

"Are you just watching the coalition base camp move north like this?" Ruitang Tingna hesitated for a moment with a pretty face, and asked curiously, if it was someone else, forget it, the person in front of you is the lone wolf Yao Sen, a very bold man people The most famous general in the Hungarian Rise War, even Ruitang Tingna heard the name Yaosun from Fatty’s mouth several times. Fatty admired this famous Hungarian general quite a lot, and this time, even more so Use your own power to suppress the southern coalition base camp The slow advance of the 300,000-strong army is enough to show how powerful it is, not to mention the famous Hungarian general who is known as the lone wolf. He once led a remnant army to break the glorious record of King Ruila's capital. Although the cavalry is not as sophisticated as the Dongting cavalry, the previous battles have proven that its combat effectiveness is not outstanding. The great plain in front of you is the best battlefield for the cavalry to swarm across. If you can get the full cooperation of the Hungarian cavalry, you will be better in Istan. It may not be possible to make a comeback in one fell swoop on the battlefield.

"The coalition forces advanced by stacking up their camps, advancing twenty miles each time. After setting up camp, they continued to move forward, changing camp after camp. We, the Hungarian cavalry, had nothing to do for the time being! And without His Majesty Falcon's order, we The army does not dare to attack without permission." There was a hint of embarrassment on Sen's face. Facing the princess in front of him, Yao Sen had no intention of looking down on him at all. Military Prime Minister Bai Dulasu had already written a letter in advance,

The entire Hungarian clan is now regarded as a vassal of the emperor. Naturally, they have talked about the identities and experiences of their masters and several mistresses. In the military letter, Her Royal Highness the Princess is mentioned in particular. She is really too famous. It is not necessary. Looking at the charming appearance of Princess Ruitangtingna in front of her, she also In fact, he is a great monarch of the grasslands who holds one hundred thousand Dongting Iron Cavalry. According to rumors, among His Majesty Falcon’s princesses, the Princess of Dongting is the most murderous. Wherever she goes, there is often bloodshed. Chenghe, especially his habit of massacring cities and killing prisoners, even the Hungarians, who were famous for their brutality, felt ashamed.

Moreover, Military Minister Baidulasu also mentioned that Princess Ruitangtingna was the eldest princess of a once powerful grassland dynasty. She had always wanted to revive this powerful grassland dynasty, so even though she was favored by the emperor, she was not At the same time, he was suppressed everywhere. Of course, this is Baidu Lhasu's guess. As Hungary's military minister for decades, Baidu Lhasu has supported the rise of Hungary. How could he not see how vicious his vision is? , the emperor's attitude towards this princess has always been to fight and treat her!

Baidulasu specially reminded Yaosun that although the emperor ordered the Hungarian cavalry to cooperate with the princess this time, in fact, the order that really needs to be followed is not the order issued by the princess, but the order from the emperor. With this A reminder from Baidu Lasu. Yao Sen basically knows what to do, he must have the proper etiquette, and he must be respectful to those who should be respectful, but when it comes to combat. Sorry, without the emperor's order, the 50,000 Hungarian cavalry will never move a single troop or horse.

"Do we have to have an order to attack? Opportunities on the battlefield disappear in an instant..."

Ruitang Tingna's face darkened. She originally wanted to show her magnanimity to the Hungarian general, but after chatting for a few words. The Hungarian general's straightforward answer made her a little dissatisfied. Yes, the other party seemed very respectful. There was a princess on the left and a royal highness on the right. But when it came to the matter of troop deployment, the other party insisted that he needed the emperor's order. Go up, this really makes Ruitang Tingna feel a little angry, if she has the emperor's order. She still needed to go around like this, so she gave it directly, but the order Fatty gave her was just to allow the Dongting cavalry to enter the Istan battlefield, and after entering, wait for an opportunity to attack!

"It is a capital crime to attack without His Majesty's orders! I, Hung Ya, are different from the princess. We are vassals of His Majesty the Falcon." Yao Sen sighed helplessly,

"this!"

Seeing Yao Sen's expression, Ruitang Tingna didn't know what to say. Waiting for an opportunity to attack, this is what makes Ruitang Tingna feel helpless and lacking confidence. Fatty only gave her the power to attack, but did not give her the authority to mobilize other troops. To put it bluntly, her Dongting Army entered this battlefield, and its position was obviously not as the main force in the decisive battle, but as a mobile force roaming around, waiting for opportunities to annihilate the enemy. To put it nicely, it meant that it was granted the greatest freedom of command. You can fight however you want. The problem is that there are 300,000 Southern Allied Forces on the opposite side. Moreover, after the previous disastrous defeat, they are now extremely cautious and adopt step-by-step tactics, advancing slowly like a horizontal chain. How about a mere 50,000 Dongting Cavalry? Waiting for an opportunity to attack? I'm afraid I won't get any benefits if I bump into it, but it's true that a big piece of flesh will be torn off.

Obviously, the fat man had expected this. Any infantry group on such a flat plain would probably choose the most rigorous advancement array as long as they knew that there was a 50,000-person prairie cavalry peering nearby.

The fat man probably planned to gather the cavalry from the east and west courts, and then use all the emperor's strength to defeat the enemy with one blow. But in that case, wouldn't he have to share the victory with the people of the west court? Even if she got a benefit, she didn't know how much it was. How could Ruitang Tingna be willing to let the benefits slip away like this? The Dongting cavalry came all the way from the North Wall and traveled for more than 20 days. , naturally intending to take a bite while the other person is not paying attention. Now he wants to bite, but he doesn’t Knowing where to bite, the failure of the Northern Battle made Ruitang Tingna very urgently need a major victory to restore her lost reputation. Although she obtained the opportunity to enter the battlefield of Istan from the emperor, she faced a man of nearly one million people. In a great battle between men and women, what can the 50,000 cavalrymen of the Dongting Military Region do? But if you can pull in the 50,000 Hungarian cavalry, that's another story!

"Okay, just tell me the location of the southern coalition base camp!"

Ruitang Tingna mounted her horse again. She saw that she could not shake Yao Sen. Continuing to talk would be a waste of time. Every moment now was very crucial. Whether they could win or not was because the coalition forces did not know that she was coming. , there is only one way to choose, and that is to go it alone. Although the fifty thousand Dongting cavalry is a little less, it is compared to a head-on attack. For the 300,000 coalition troops, if you do not choose to attack head-on, but adopt the bow and cavalry tactics that the Dongting cavalry is best at, that is another matter. When the prairie cavalry faces the infantry formation, a real frontal attack is not possible. Most of the time, they usually attack with long-range arrows first. When the opponent is overwhelmed and collapses, they will attack with all their strength and kill the exhausted target like a hungry wolf.

"The southern base camp of the coalition forces is in Aslando. If His Highness needs it, our Hungarian Army can provide a guide!" Yao Sen lowered his head and replied. One look at Ruitang Tingna's look, and he knew that the imperial princess had plans to sneak attack on the coalition base camp. , the southern army base camp with 300,000 people, only 50,000 cavalry are ready to go. Her Royal Highness the Princess was really guessed by the military minister.

"Luyae, Lux... You stay here as guides for the army." Yaosen said a few names from the followers behind him. The followers who were called came out from the cavalry. When they came, Yaosen had already prepared guides for the Dongting Army. He was ordered to suppress the southern army's base camp from advancing north. It was still relatively difficult in the early stage. The mobile cavalry of the coalition base camp had almost died. Even if they were wearing heavy armor, they were powerless in front of the arrows of the Hungarian cavalry. Therefore, his 50,000 Hungarian cavalry beat the southern coalition base camp to retreat nearly 200 miles south in one breath. But this time was different. In order to prevent The cavalry was prepared because the Southern Army's base camp had expanded to 300,000 troops, and they were advancing in a stacked camp mode, with one camp rising and one camp falling. Except for the slow speed, it was basically invulnerable. However, even if it was slow, the two hundred miles that had been conquered before were now pushed all at once. The distance to Lulan, where the main force of the Emperor was located, was less than 80 miles. In three days at most, the base camp of the Southern Allied Forces would definitely reach Lulan. Together with the 200,000 coalition troops trapped in Anlusu, that would be 500,000 troops, and the only ones blocking in the middle were only 200,000 Emperors. The disparity in strength was huge when they were attacked from both sides, and even the Emperor might not be able to hold on!

"Okay, I'll remember your help today!"

Rui Tang Tina nodded gratefully. Although she didn't bring the Hungarian army, it was good to solve the guide problem. This was an unfamiliar battlefield. Without a guide, the army was blind. By asking the guide, Rui Tang Tina quickly found the location of the coalition forces on the map. After frowning slightly, she found that the coalition forces' headquarters was not on the Istanbul Plain, but on the edge of the plain. It seemed that they were scared before. They knew that the Istanbul Plain was a battlefield for mobile cavalry and was not conducive to the coalition forces dominated by infantry. But at the same time, the coalition forces' headquarters should not have thought that Dongting's 50,000 cavalry had arrived and dared to cross the Istanbul Plain to launch a surprise attack!

"Everyone follow me!" Rui Tang Tingna took a deep breath, raised her right hand high, turned her horse and headed south. The troops behind her began to march out in an orderly manner. The cold light of the spears was like an arc-shaped scimitar that quickly protruded forward in the dark night, bringing a chill and killing, fighting against the autumn wind and dispersing in the twilight (to be continued.)
