Realm of Power

Thick dark clouds floated from the sky of the shining star and cold moon, walking very slowly. The mist reflected on the vast grassland was half sinking and half falling. The remaining leaves were rolled in. A group of prairie cavalry quietly appeared in the distance of the meadow. The former eldest prince who had just succeeded the Northern King, appeared on the grassy hill surrounded by several tribal leaders. This man who had defeated himself The cold gaze of the new Khan of the Grassland, his two younger brothers, swept across the distance. Following the sound of horse hooves shaking the earth and mountains, dense black lines appeared in the direction of the military camp. Countless black cavalry were like rolling whirlwinds. Attacked, it seemed that such a scene would appear. There was no wave on the face of the new king of the grassland. "Stop!"

A strong man in the lead wearing a red wave armor, twenty meters away from the front of the new Khan King's horse, raised his right hand high and "swiped"

I could only see the imperial cavalry behind me neatly stopping their horses, with the battle flag embroidered with a golden falcon. Reflected in the starlight, each team looked like a long black dragon. The horses' hooves trampled uneasily on the spot. The black armor of the imperial cavalry stood out in the dark night. There was a kind of dark light that made people feel stressed, and the grassland in early spring was still chilly. A piece of dust blew under the hooves of the cavalry group that had just stopped, and the sky was filled with murderous intent.

This is the boundary line between the empire and the Northern Royal Court. Just as the empire predicted, since the Yelu family began to attack Yanzhou and Shangjing, the 50,000 elite cavalry of the Northern Royal Court also rushed south at this moment, obviously targeting the generals of Shangjing and Shangjing. The Yelu family's plan to reconcile was expected to go smoothly. Unexpectedly, they ran into a group of imperial cavalry that had been waiting for many days on the border. The two largest cavalry groups in northern China collided with each other. ,

"Dear General Wumu of the Empire, it will be of no benefit to you or me if this stalemate continues. As long as we let our army pass, the Northern Royal Court is willing to give us a piece of pasture within a hundred miles as reward!" A fifty-year-old man wearing a toga The old man from the prairie, who was about 10 years old, rode out from the side of the new Khan King and lined up in front to block it. The strong man in red armor on the road gave a grassland salute with a very respectful look, "Baili Caochang wants to exchange for a Yanzhou, and I, Wumu, am not a fool." Wumu looked disdainful and glanced at the kings in front of him one by one. Everyone in the court smiled coldly, "As I said before, if you want to go there, you can. If the pasture is less than 300 miles away, you don't have to hold your hands."

"Wumu, what do you mean? Do you really think that the Northern Royal Court is afraid of your Falcon Empire!" said a general of the Royal Court.

"Yes, the attitude of the empire is a complete insult to us!" Another tribal leader also nodded and said, "As long as King Khan gives an order, it doesn't matter what the empire is. I don't believe that with the swiftness of our royal cavalry, we will be defeated. Contained by the bulky empire, our iron hooves and scimitar will tell! Tell them who is the real master of this prairie! "King Khan, absolutely not! Wumu is a powerful general of the empire and has a lot of troops, and there are still 20,000 imperial troops stationed in Bianji, which is less than ten miles away. Once the war starts, the other side can support you at any time!" Someone persuaded with an ugly face.

"So what, at most the numbers are equal. Is the Northern Royal Court afraid of anyone?" A burly patriarch said with a trace of unwillingness on his face, "The journey south to Yanzhou was originally a surprise attack, but now I am stopped like this. For many days, once the Yelu family captures Yanzhou, it will be too late. The troops of the royal court going south have been blocked here for three days. Just thinking that the Yelu family is attacking Yanzhou day and night makes everyone in the royal court feel anxious.

But the emperor stood in front and demanded tolls. If the new Khan was not unwilling to confront the empire, he would have given the order to rush over. "Of course you can also directly drive the army to rush over. Don't worry, I will never give the order." block, to Afterwards, I cannot guarantee whether His Majesty will be angry and order your Northern Royal Court to be trampled into pieces!" Wu Mu curled his lips and ignored the voices of these Northern Royal Court generals. , just waved his hand behind him

"brush"

The cavalry group behind them spread out to both sides, revealing a passage heading south.

"Asshole, is this a threat to my Northern Royal Court?" There were all kinds of curses for a while, but as far as the eyes could see, everyone in the Northern Royal Court couldn't help but change their faces, and they all closed their mouths.

Behind Wumu, a huge imperial camp covered the earth, like a large gray-white carpet covering the dense grassland, all the way to the Grisan River five miles away. The blazing camp fire was like the starlight lighting up the night sky, covering the entire grassland. The desert was red. Such a scene would never have been possible without more than 50,000 or 60,000 troops. Two days ago, the empire's troops were less than 30,000. This means that the empire's military strength is increasing again. This is the grassland. The army gathered together to decide The warning of war, although the words are tough, actually the Northern Royal Court has to admit that the combat power of the imperial cavalry is not inferior to the elite of the Royal Court. If the two armies encounter a battle, the outcome will be 50-50. If they fight in formation, The destruction of the 50,000 Wolf Army This is a lesson learned from the past. The numerous bones on the Onner Trouble taught the grassland people a truth. Don't fight the emperor in formation even if you want to kill him. That is simply looking for an iron plate to hit you. With this understanding, no one will eat too much. Fight in battle with the emperor!

What's more, in terms of military strength, the empire's stacked battle lines made the northern royal court even more afraid.

Wumu is just the empire's general in Onnacuo, and he already has such a force. If you include the Murphy dragon-armored heavy cavalry that defeated the Lei army in the battle of Onnaco, and the empire's heavy troops stationed west of Tianlang Mansion. , after cutting off 50,000 royal court elites along the way, trampling the northern royal court into dust is by no means an arrogant statement.

"Okay, three hundred miles of pasture is just three hundred miles!"

The new Khan King raised his head and looked at the sky with bright eyes, as if he was asking about the longevity sky. Finally, he nodded solemnly.

Since there is no advantage in using force, the descendants of the wolf do not lack the spirit of compromise. Three hundred miles of pasture is not a small number. On the grassland, even a large tribe with hundreds of thousands of people only has three or four miles of pasture. Hundreds of miles, for these three hundred miles of pasture, tens of thousands of cavalry are enough to fight for it, but compared to Yanzhou, it is insufficient.

What is Yanzhou! It is the existence that the grassland people fear most. For thousands of years, it has swallowed up the bodies of countless grassland men and the southward ambitions of successive Khans. The importance of Yanzhou to the grassland people is understood by all grassland people. Thinking of the Yelu family The new Khan King was filled with hatred for taking away 300,000 tribesmen a year ago.

If Yelu Hongtai hadn't refused to save him, how could all the 50,000 wolf soldiers he relied on as his confidants have died in the battle! The old thief invaded the central part of Zhongbia and seized the wealth and population that made the entire grassland jealous. He also broke the shackles of the grassland's inability to gain a foothold in the interior of Zhongbia. With his fame soaring, he has reached the point where he feels In a crisis situation, Yanzhou must not fall into the hands of the Yelu family.

Once the Yelu family completely opens the way for the grassland tribes to enter the central part of the country, the Yelu family's prestige will increase significantly. At that time, even the royal court will be unable to stop the grassland tribes who have long been interested in central China from heading south. As the Yelu family's strength gathers and expands, it is only a matter of time before the Yelu family replaces the royal court's position in the grassland!

Previously, the Yelu family was at the height of their power, and their military strength made it impossible for the royal court to suppress them for the time being. However, this time the Yelu family attacked Yanzhou with all their strength, and all their elite soldiers were mobilized. The one who defended Yanzhou was Long Yang, the number one general in Central Asia. Even Yelu Home, I want to remove the swallow without hurting my muscles and bones. It is absolutely impossible to defeat the state. This is an opportunity. With both sides losing, if 50,000 elite cavalry from the royal court rush into Yanzhou from behind, seize Yanzhou, and kill the traitor Yelu Hongtai, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The opportunity is right in front of you, how can you miss it! Now as long as the empire is willing to get out of the way, three hundred miles of grassland will be three hundred miles of grassland!

"Go south to Yanzhou!"

The new King Khan raised his scimitar, his eyes even more complicated. If Yelu Hongtai, an old thief, had not secretly taken away the 300,000 tribesmen who served as the border barrier of the royal court, how could he have faced such an embarrassing situation? Most of the wealth seized, except for a small part that was used to expand troops and win over tribes, most of it was sold to imperial merchants at low prices. There was no way, although the attack The moment they broke through the capital of Zhongbia, they made a fortune. However, when the cart full of treasures was dragged onto the vast grassland, the prairie nobles discovered that this thing was of little use at all. In the past, they could still be sold on the Yi Market established in the north of Zhongbia. Food and various supplies have been purchased. Now that the Imperial Capital has been destroyed, not even a single person can be found on the northern border of Central and Bibia, let alone the Yishi where items are exchanged. What else can it do except look good? You can't use it as food when you're hungry, and you can't use it as clothes when you're cold. No matter how much you hang on your body, no matter how cold the weather is, how many tribesmen will freeze to death or die. Some people use jewelry to buy livestock from other tribes, but the other tribes don't. I took out more jewelry to buy from him, and these things were shipped back to more than 2,000 cars. Who is short of it?

"Sir, are you really going to let them go like this?" A tribal leader wearing black leather armor and looking like an iron tower said angrily behind Wu Mu.

"If you don't let them go, are you really going to let them stay here to eat wine and meat?" Wu Mu smiled sternly, raised his head and glanced at the moonlight above his head, and waved his hand indifferently. "No matter how fast the Wangting cavalry is, , it will take two days to run day and night from here to Yanzhou. It has been two days since we let go of Yelu Qiyeguang. Oh my God, I should have arrived in Yanzhou by now. The news of the royal court going south will soon be known to Yelu Hongtai. I also want to see if Yelu Hongtai is preparing to go to Beijing to the death, or whether he is going to attack the northern royal court from behind. , No matter what the choice is, Yelu Hongtai’s attempt to seize Yanzhou is destined to be a failure!
