Realm of Power

With shouts of killing, warships full of soldiers rushed to the tidal flats of Qingyang River. Groups of Yelu infantry wearing iron armor jumped from the side of the ship into the river below. The river water pushed by their bodies rolled forward with a roar, and the iron armor The Qingyang South River under the cold light is now the main breakthrough point for the Yelu family to move south.

The Yelu war army, composed of 30,000 Yelu family's most elite Baihe soldiers, was like a big hand coming from the north, hitting Qingyang City hard, roaring, fighting, and golden Various sounds of iron hitting each other spread almost simultaneously along the miles-long river front in Qingyang.

From the warship parked in the center of the river, the thunder bullets fired from time to time were like huge fireworks exploding on the fighting crowd. The fire suddenly shone and black smoke floated in the air. Although the damage caused by the thunder god was not great, As long as there is a place where fire explodes, part of the defense line of the Central Asian Army will always collapse.

On a warship that washed up on the river beach, Yelu Guda was standing on the bow of the ship in fiery red armor. With a pair of twinkling eyes, he looked at the southern town of Qingyang with interest. Behind him, three people A fierce-looking general of the Yelu family waited respectfully for orders.

"Lu Liang, you have the greatest credit for being able to capture Qingyang in one fell swoop this time. Tell me, what reward do you want? Those who have made military achievements will be rewarded, and those who lose will be punished! My Yelu family has never been a stingy person." Yelu Guda's mouth was cold. With a smile, under his sight, the landing troops with three thousand heavily armored Baihe soldiers as the front line of attack were carrying a wave of destruction. All the momentum pushed down the third line of defense of the Qingyang defenders on the river bank. The river bank was full of fleeing Central Asians. They were completely stunned at this moment. Thousands of troops were directly overwhelmed, and with the people behind them The troops crowded together, there was a loud rumble, fire exploded in the crowd, broken limbs and arms fell like rain, and the situation became even more chaotic.

"Kill!" The Baihe soldiers of the Yelu family are generally not as tall as the Zhongbia people, but they are stronger and more resistant to fighting. Although they have been immersed in the prosperity of central Zhongbia for a year, they are not as tough as the grassland people. Di, the body is actually strong and long. Many people have broad shoulders and waists as thick as their bodies. The arm armor exposes a section of tendon meat that has been used for bowing for many years. They are covered with heavy armor weighing dozens of kilograms. They rushed into the Qingyang defenders like bloodthirsty beasts. Although some of the Qingyang defenders were veterans from the North Shore who had experienced the battlefield, most of them were newly recruited Qingyang recruits who had not even experienced formal training. I have seen such a scene several times, and I just feel that these heavily armored prairie people are wild beasts. Before they are really attacked, they are scared out of their wits and turn around and run away involuntarily.

This is also what Li Long has always been worried about.

Zhongbia has been able to dominate the Eastern Continent for so many years, and its own foundation is not bad. In terms of the number of soldiers, sophisticated weapons, and clever tactics, it is definitely the best in the Eastern Continent. The only thing missing is the will to fight. Once the elite troops are lost, It is difficult to do it in a short time. If you can have half a year If we have enough time to train the new troops recruited from the south of Zhongbia, it may not be able to stop the Yelu family from heading south. But what is missing is time. Most of the elite troops have been lost on the north bank, and the new troops have no time to train. The result of the battle It's like this situation right now

Although there were 20,000 Qingyang troops on the river beach, they could not hold on for even an hour before they completely collapsed.

"Don't retreat, we have no retreat!"

The officers shouted anxiously, the hands of the soldiers holding the spears were trembling, and their faces were ashen. Rows of dense white lights roared towards them. The fleeing Qingyang troops fell in pieces. The range of the grassland bows was already close. It is longer than a bow, and with sudden force at close range, the heavy arrows on the grassland with heavy arrows are accompanied by the whistling sound of gold and iron, and they pierce hard in one go. The iron armor of the Central Bian infantry was broken. After the front end of the heavy arrow pierced the body, it still rushed out from the other end of the body, directly bringing out a large amount of blood on the body of the Central Bian infantry. Red blood surged from the inside of the metal armor. When they came out, the person who had been hit by the arrow let out a shrill scream and rolled to the ground. The scattered people seemed to be invisible, running past each other one after another.

"I don't dare. I just hope that His Highness can remember the promise you made to me." A middle-aged man with a broad forehead among the three generals stood up, glanced at the Qingyang City Wall with a complicated expression, and said in a solemn voice.

"Okay, capture Qingyang, and I will give you a three-day killing order. As long as they are in Qingyang City, you can kill them as you wish!" Yelvuguda showed a hint of admiration in his eyes and said with a smile on his lips. This time, we can capture the southern city of Qing in one fell swoop. Yang, entirely because of this Chinese and Libyan general named Lu Liang who surrendered Yu Qingyang's defense was well understood, and he pointed out that Qingyang had many new soldiers and had no fighting power at all. As long as they rushed to the beach and attacked with all their strength, Qingyang would inevitably fall. As the Yelu family gradually gained a foothold in the central area, they absorbed some of the It is inevitable for the Biya people to enter the Yelü family

What's more, Yelu Hongtai has always believed that the people who know the Zhongbia people best are still the Zhongbia people. As the young patriarch of the Yelu family, Yelu Guda, although he doesn't like these Zhongbia people who have taken refuge with the Yelu family, he has to admit it. , there are quite a few very talented people inside,

"Your Highness, after Qingyang is captured, Linhang, the new capital of the Zhongbia people, will soon be yours. The whole of Zhongbia will belong to your Highness!" Another stout general of the Yelu family said loudly.

"Well said, capture Qingyang, then capture Linhang, and make this world belong to the Yelu family. If the Yelu family did not capture Yanzhou and claim the title of Khan, then they might as well capture Zhongbia and claim the title of emperor!" Yelu Guda was in high spirits and laughed loudly. He had the fine blood of the Yelu family and was more likely to become the future King of Khans. He went all the way south. In that battle, he was not the first to lead the army and be the bravest of the three armies, but he happened to Some people think that their sister Yelu Qiyeguang has the potential to lead the Yelu family. The Yelu family is able to achieve today's glory because of the Yelu family's iron cavalry. Only those who can truly hold it in their hands are called Power, Yelu Qiyeguang, a woman who has never even been on the battlefield, has what qualifications to inherit the great legacy of the Yelu family? When she captures Linhang, all voices can be silenced.

It’s time for people to know that the glory of the prairie people ultimately lies in the scimitars and horse hooves! Yeluguda's eyes flickered and he murmured softly

The grassland army followed the defeated army into Qingyang. After three days of street fighting in the city, on June 10, Qingyang, an important town in southern China, was captured by the Yelu Army. The Yelu Army broke the agreement with the empire not to enter the south and suddenly broke through. The Central and African people concentrated their efforts to build a defense line along the river, and the flattering army stationed in Linhang, Xinjing, faced it.

The wind was blowing, and the smoke and dust rolled up by the horses' hooves were billowing straight up. The black billowing tide was coming. On the distant horizon, a thick and dense black line emerged. The armor shone with an eerie light in the sun, dense and dense. The cavalry was like a large black cloud, the horses' hooves trampled heavily on the soft rainy land south of the Yangtze River, sputtering a large amount of smoke and dust. Because they were crowded in front of the white line formed on the edge at the same time, tens of thousands of horses' hooves were raised and lowered uneasily, and at the same time they brought up the soil on the ground. Turn the ground beneath your feet into mud,

In these first few days, there were criss-crossing tears and small collisions. Although the Yelu Army opened the river defense line, a large number of follow-up troops and supplies still needed to be transported. It was not until June 15th that Yelu Hongtai's Baihe pro-army finally set foot on the river. to the south,

His eyes swept across the broken city gate of Qingyang in front of him, and the bloodstains on the streets made Yelu Hongtai's pale eyebrows frown slightly.

"The city was massacred?" Yelu Hongtai looked away and asked in a sharp tone,

"No, according to your order, we have never massacred the city since a month ago. We just encountered some resistance and annihilated them all." Yeluguda answered indifferently, and casually destroyed the city that day. All the more than 13,000 Qingyang residents killed behind the city were said to be resisters. Under Yelu Hongtai's gaze, he looked curiously at the cavalry accompanying Yelu Hongtai, hesitated for a moment, and asked

"Where is Qi Yeguang? She is still confused about going south? Although the empire is very powerful, but now Yanzhou is in the middle, what do we have to be afraid of? The fighter plane is ahead. If we miss it, we don't know how long we have to wait. When we wait for Zhongbia To stabilize the defense line of the river, all we have to pay is the blood of my prairie warriors!"

"The army is moving south, and your sister volunteered to take charge of the Imperial Capital. You shouldn't say that to her. Don't forget that she sent people to find the Lu Liang who helped you conquer Qingyang!"

Yelu Hongtai waved his hand on the horse. Being able to ride south of the river has always been one of his dreams. Although Yelu Guda's attack on Qingyang was a bit reckless, the fact that Qingyang was captured cannot be ignored. Just as As Yelu Guda said, the Yelu family had an agreement with the empire not to go south, but the situation is now different. At the beginning, the Yelu family is still strong. Although they suffered the defeat of Yanzhou, they It also allowed the Yelu family to take the opportunity to integrate the originally loose forces, and finally formed the Yelu army with the Baihe pro-army of the Yelu family as the main body. In addition, the grassland tribes continued to join the south, and the total number of the Yelu army was already 200,000. It has the name of a royal court, but it already has the reality of a royal court. It has such power, such land, and such a population. The empire is far away, so even if the agreement is broken, it doesn't matter!

"Father, when will we attack Linhang?" Yeluguda asked with an excited expression. Horses trampling on the Biashan River in the middle of the mountain. This is the dream of many grassland people. Now it is right in front of us. How can we bear it!

Linhang, this ancient city was originally the new capital of the empire. More than two years after the empire moved to the capital, everything once again showed a bit of the original luxury of the imperial capital. Cars, horses, and business travelers traveling from south to north gathered here. The latest imperial examination was held, and the gathering of scribes and warriors temporarily made the city overcrowded. The number of good and bad disciples who originally dominated the court has been greatly reduced. Of course, those who will come to Linhang at this time are mostly passionate young people who are confident and dream of turning the tide and saving the empire, hoping that they can in order to cope with This is a tragic situation that has not happened in hundreds of years. The more the country is in danger, the more the people's emotions are getting stronger. At least it seems that they have finally brought some composure and foundation that truly belongs to a big country. The wind wheel of the times is also starting to go crazy here. 's turning
