Realm of Power

804 Storm in Northland (2)

At the end of December, amidst the turmoil known as the Blood of Winter in history, in the far north, the march from the Dongting Empire was approaching. After suffering a disastrous defeat on the Dongting Grassland, the West Kugit tribes retreated to the front line of the Maya Mountains and waited for help. , the Dongting army, which had received support from the North, pressed down on Maya Mountain aggressively, and the war was about to break out.

"Tap step" the horse's hooves rumbled, like the muffled thunder rolling in the distant sky,

In the cold wind blowing from the north, the fat man galloped up a high hill, reining in the horse. Two Samor swords were hung crosswise on his back, extending diagonally from behind his shoulders to match his heavy swords. With his body shape and sitting on an unusually tall war horse, he really has an arrogant and overbearing aura that dominates the earth.

Princess Austin Yundai, who was wearing a tight-fitting fiery red mail armor, followed him as she ran up the hillside. This heroic alien princess tied her hair into dozens of braids and let them hang freely on her shoulders. And the fragrance is on the back,

It further highlighted her slim neck, emphasized her beautiful outline, and coupled with her moving figure, standing side by side with the fat man, the hero and beauty complemented each other.

More than twenty Samor guards wearing heavy black armor dispersed in all directions, monitoring the movements far and near. In the distance, 40,000 Vekian cavalry poured in from the mountain pass in front like a black iron stream. The horses' hooves trampled on this hard frozen soil that has lasted for thousands of years, raising a piece of flying ice slag and black clouds. Like a canopy of earth, across the white wilderness before us,

The fat man's eyes were shining as he scanned the land condescendingly. The sound of thousands of soldiers and horses killing each other seemed to ring in his ears, shaking through the clouds and nights. After several days of running around, although he was extremely tired, he could not walk through this wasteland. , seems to have endless energy,

"Ahead is the edge of the Maya Mountains where the tribes are retreating!" Austin Yundai, who was next to her, suddenly pointed at a faint black line in the sky, with a hint of coldness in her voice.

"Maya Mountain is the boundary between the grassland and the Far North. We followed this road from the Far North to Airei. I remember that we brought out more than 170 guards, but they were just for cover. The safety of our sisters, most of them have been laid to rest here! I still remember their faces and names!”

"They are real warriors." The fat man looked in the direction of his finger, and couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart. In front of him was a vast and boundless ancient wasteland, with the sky as a cover and the earth as a bed, and a pale sky, like a boundless curtain. The whole world is enveloped in it,

Snow fell on the ground, and the boundless grassland turned into a dazzling silvery white expanse here. Countless grass stems bent by the heavy snow froze into white ice in the howling cold wind.

Anyone who steps into this wilderness will feel a sense of insignificance in their hearts.

After continuing to move forward for half a day, the distant mountains gradually became larger, and the number of hard icebergs and rivers gradually increased.

"Falcon battle flag is the battle flag of His Majesty Falcon!" In the distance, along with the cheers, a long horn sound sounded. In the middle of the Maya Mountains, the wolf-headed battle flag of the Kugit people can already be seen. More than 20,000 people The retreating Kugits stayed in the middle of this mountain range.

"His Majesty"

At the Maya Mountain camp, the leaders of the Kugit tribes were already waiting. When they saw the fat man getting off his horse, they all squatted down.

"Everyone, get up and do as the Romans do. Kujit goshawks flying over the grassland have no such etiquette!"

With a smile on his face, the fat man helped the half-kneeling tribal leaders one by one. Without any airs of being a Khan, he was like an old friend he hadn't seen for many years. He carefully asked the clan leaders about their plans for winter this winter.

Laisuk, the leader of the Suk tribe, one of the eight major tribes, held the fat man's shoulders with his old hands when the fat man passed by, and said with red eyes.

"Your Majesty, King Khan, you must avenge the tens of thousands of people who died in Beiya Meadow."

Except for some of the troops sent out this time from a few medium-sized tribes, most of the others were taken care of by the eight major tribes, especially the Suko tribe. Among the 20,000 cavalry who died in the Beiya Meadow, 8,000 were They are all from the Subo tribe. 8,000 brave and capable tribesmen were killed at once. Even the Suke tribe with a population of 250,000 could not bear it.

This is the first time that the Vekiya Falcon has appeared in front of the Kugit tribes as the King of Kugit Khan. The leaders of the tribes who had been speculating before now feel relieved.

His Majesty Falcon is known as the undefeated God of War in the mainland, and his army is also an elite force that has never been defeated.

This attack on Dongting failed miserably, and the tribal leaders were still worried about this. According to the strict hierarchical Kugit tribal laws, King Khan had the highest authority to deal with the defeated army. Even if the Vekiya Falcon asked them to commit suicide and apologize, they could only carry out the execution. order, but at this moment, it seems that His Majesty Falcon has no intention of punishing the defeated generals, which makes most Kugit leaders feel relieved.

The fat man glanced at the densely gathered Kujit tribesmen in front of him. Although the war horses were withered, the scimitars were still as snowy. Whether it was the young people of the tribe or the weather-beaten old man, they had a look on their faces even though they had just experienced a tragic defeat. There was still no sign of desolation, but the surging fighting spirit could be faintly seen on his face.

No wonder, the Kugit people can be called the strongest race on the mainland. This nation forged in a bitter cold land does have a far more tenacious will and fighting spirit than other races. They fight against the sky and the earth. Even as a Kugit people The conqueror of the Te people, Fatty still believes that among all the ethnic groups in the mainland, only the Kugit people are the most indomitable and are natural warriors.

The fat man raised his right hand high, glanced at all the Kugits in front of him with piercing eyes, and said loudly, "This time I have brought 40,000 reinforcements, and there are 6 infantry regiments of the flag regiment on the way. Our total strength will exceed 100,000,"

The fat man's voice paused, and he raised his left hand at the same time as Lesuk's hand next to him. "I promise you, the people of Changshengtian will not die in vain! Blood debts must be paid with blood!"

Everyone's eyes were filled with hot tears. The golden sunshine, which had not been seen for many days, penetrated the clouds and shined from behind the fat man's honest figure. A golden crown was vaguely visible on the fat man's head.

"God of immortality!"

The Kugit people were frightened by the sight in front of them.

According to Kugit legend, the man with the crown on his head is the Immortal God walking on the grassland. He will hold the Immortal Heaven’s whip in his hand and spread the will of the Immortal Heaven on the grassland.

Among the tribal leaders, the tearful Laisuke was the first to kneel down, followed by Duo Weiyan who looked equally excited, and then more than ten tribal leaders,

Then, like multiple dominoes, tens of thousands of people kneeled on the ground one after another. It was like a huge arc that instantly unfolded and enveloped the earth.

"Long live the Khan, long live the Khan"

Everyone looked excited. The thunderous roar of the Maya Mountains, and its spectacular scene are still a hot topic among Kugit herders twenty years later.

December 22nd. The main force of the Falcon Dynasty arrived at Mount Maya, and before that, the advance cavalry from both armies had encountered each other many times.

The Dongting cavalry was bitten by a snake once and was afraid of well ropes for ten years. After learning that the commanding officer on the opposite side was the Vecia Falcon, they immediately retreated 30 miles.

Everyone knows that the Vekiya infantry formation is world-famous. On the rugged mountain roads, it is difficult for the Dongting cavalry to take advantage of it, and the heavy infantry in the far north can hardly resist the attack of Vekiya infantry crossbows.

A decisive battle in the mountains would be tantamount to seeking death. Even the Northern Army of more than 100,000 Rui Erdian was beaten to a pulp by the Wikiyans in the wilderness and mountains, let alone his 80,000 temporarily spliced ​​troops.

The commander of the Dongting people is also an unrivaled all-round general.

Regardless of offense or defense. They all have superb skills. Even if they are retreating, they still act as if they are going to attack on a large scale. When the Dongting Cavalry fights in the wilderness, even the fat man is deeply afraid of the other party's familiarity with the terrain. Therefore, the marching formation was quite cautious.

In the early stages of the battle, the tactics of both sides were exactly the same. The main force is immobile. And Guang sent scouts to investigate the opponent's camp, check the opponent's troop configuration, and at the same time prevent the opponent's scouts from spying on their own side.

The collision between the Dongting Cavalry and the Vekiya Light Cavalry Guards showed that both armies were the most powerful soldiers in the world, and those who could serve as scouts were also elites in the army. With the arrogance of refusing to admit defeat, he will not retreat until he fights.

The scale of the battle was small, but the casualties were heavy. Entire teams of scouts on both sides were wiped out by the other side. Scouts on both sides suffered thousands of casualties.

The Falcon Army is strong and can bear such casualties. The people in Dongting have begun to feel pain. After a week of fighting,

Dongting General Wumu, who served as the commander-in-chief of the entire army, was forced to order the scouts to shrink the defense line. To avoid a desperate fight with the Falcon Cavalry, the vast wilderness between the two armies was given to the battlefield where the Falcon Cavalry could roam freely.

The soldiers in the Dongting camp built high platforms around the camp. As they drank, they saw black-armored falcon cavalry roaming the vast wilderness and woods, spying on their camp.

The Dongting people originally expected to use powerful bow and cavalry tactics to lead the Falcon Army into an ambush circle, just like the last time they dealt with the Kugits. However, they soon discovered that they were wrong. The long-range attack power of the Falcon Army was no less powerful than that of the Kugits. Under armored archers and cavalry, when two armies encounter each other,

Countless arrow clusters streaked across the sky like meteors, and the fierce battle dyed the wilderness red. In the heavy snow, the Falcon Legion always put on a posture of steadily advancing,

In the front are heavy shield infantry, in the middle are well-protected crossbowmen, and on both wings are huge groups of cavalry that are rotating like sharp blades.

In both battles, the Dongting cavalry did not gain any advantage.

Even if occasionally a Falcon infantry group advances too far during a battle, it never breaks up in the face of battle, no matter how heavy the casualties are. At most, it's a retreat.

In good order. With cover and retreat, the Dongting cavalry could not take advantage of the victory to pursue them. The battle loss ratio between the two armies has always remained around one to one.

On December 29, the last day of the year, one hundred thousand falcon troops arrived at Motu, the headquarters of the Dongting people.
