924

The prairie in June is the season when the grass grows and the horses are strong, and on the green water meadow, a group of cavalry wearing thick felt leather armor slowly advances along the water in the center of the grassland.

The howling plain wind blew from the side, waving the military flag in front of the team, which was a pennant painted with the white giant bear logo.

A light rain had just fallen in the sky, and the air was filled with a fresh smell, and the horses' hooves creaked against the soft mud of the watery meadows

It was a patrol cavalry composed of Northlanders, and the leader of the cavalry squad, Anguri, was advancing while leisurely surveying the beautiful scenery with his four-cornered eyes

, the grass is still clinging, the wind blows, like a pair of invisible hands gently brushing, the meadow is swaying neatly, the earth is boundless, what a beautiful place, the vast land that makes people forget their own storage, Anguli sighed secretly, although it is not the first time to patrol here, but every time, he will be shocked by the beautiful scenery here

These scenes, which can only be seen in dreams, are now in front of their eyes,

Anguri felt an indescribable satisfaction in his heart, only when he came here, would he know how difficult the environment he lived in was at the beginning,

There are no monsters lurking under the ice that can leap out at any time to devour travelers, and there are no cold nights and winds that can freeze people into ice without a fire, and this is a paradise like no other than the brutal Northland

The sun here is red, not the cold, round ball of light that is covered in a layer of frizzy leather in the thick clouds of the Northland, the water here is cool, not the thick ice that you will not leave a mark on it, here you can reach out and you can feel the light in the sky, shining on your body is warm, open your eyes, and see the endless blue sky

The most important thing is that in three months, this will be the new settlement of the Azous, and the 50,000 Asorus living in the Northland base camp will migrate here from the cruel northern regions along the Philuscadia River and through the lowlands of Slenth.

They will live, herd, trade, build their own houses, multiply, and free their children and grandchildren from the cruel environment of the Northlands, and they will be able to put down roots here in just ten years, and they will make this land a happy land for the Asorusians.

There is no need to worry about the winds in the cold mountains, the freezing rain that freezes most of the livestock to death every winter, and the lack of food

Although Angus, a low-ranking officer of the tribe, could not know what the specific plans of the high-ranking people were, he could not forget what kind of excitement he had set foot on this vast and beautiful land, this is the land of the steppe people, for hundreds of years, this powerful race has continued to expand, although the severe cold has restrained the horseshoe of the steppe people, but there are still many tribes that have been exterminated by the steppe people.

The strength of the steppe people is well known to the people of the Northland, this race with a vast land and a large number of powerful cavalry like a raging wolf pack, representing brutality, strength, and invincibility.

However, the battle on the border has proved that the above judgment is correct, and the steppe people, who are feared by the entire northland, are now in the west and the majesty is no longer great, and 6,000 infantry from the Asu Russian department can easily wipe out the two tribes of the steppe people, which was unimaginable before.

However, the originally expected revenge of the steppe people has been delayed, and this once powerful steppe lion really doesn't even have the strength to retaliate and roar at this moment?...,

Anguri didn't know about this doubt, but the order from above was that the patrol range must be expanded to 50 miles every day, and it seems that the steppe people were not very relieved

Anguli took his hundred cavalry around the meadow, and stopped at the edge of a river beach with abundant water and grass, and the clear river water and tender grass made the horses under the crotch of the Northland cavalry stop.

"Guti, you take ten people and continue 20 miles"

Anguri looked at it casually, stopped his horse, and shouted loudly to a shrewd and capable cavalryman behind him, "If there is no new situation, come back and join me at once!"

Soon, a group of 10 cavalry continued to advance, while more Northland cavalry cheered and turned over and dismounted,

They took off their thick leather armor and ran to the river to drink water, or simply washed their bodies with the clean river water that still carried a bit of refreshing cold, for them, such cold was still acceptable, and what made them unhappy was the increasingly hot sun

In June, even in the north, which is close to the extreme cold, the savannah begins to get a little muggy.

This is the only place that makes the northerners who are accustomed to dry and cold places feel dissatisfied, hot this word has never appeared in their dictionary, and it is also the most helpless thing for them now, they are still wearing thick felt leather armor in the cold region of the north, this kind of leather armor adapted to the north is thick beast fur on the inside, if the cold north, this can protect them from frostbite, but in the warm June steppe, this leather armor is simply a torture instrument for suffering, only walked for a morning, hundreds of cavalry faces are already beads of sweat rolling down,

Just when Anguli was washing his war horse with clean water by the river, a northland cavalryman who bent down to wash his face suddenly pointed to the distance to the west, and shouted with a shocked face, "Look, what is that?" Coming to Angusi hurriedly turned around, only glanced at it, and shouted with a big change in his face, "Prepare for battle immediately, it's Dongting people!" The northland cavalry who were resting hurriedly ran in a panic, and put the saddle on the war horse from the new, and some even looked around for the war horse that ran to the distance to graze, which can be described as quite chaotic

"Ready!"

In the direction of the grassy hill in the west, dozens of swift black lines were wrapped in the raised soil, and they rushed towards this side with great momentum.

The cavalry above was wearing light leather armor, wearing a fluffy felt hat on his head, and holding up a powerful compound bow unique to the Dongting people in his hand, "bumping" at a distance of about 100 meters, the compound bow in the hand raised by the Dongting cavalry bounced off one after another, and a cluster of arrows fell like raindrops, falling with a roar of death.

"Be careful!

Angus hurriedly raised the unique animal skin shield of the Northland and shouted, the whole row of shields was raised, and the arrows were shot at this leather shield made of hard animal skin, and they were bounced off by the unique toughness of the animal skin, and made a dull sound like raindrops,

But not everyone is so lucky, on the left side of the Northland cavalry, several young Northland cavalry because of their lack of combat experience, the war horses under their crotches were shot by stray arrows, making a tragic neighing sound, and the cavalry that shook and rolled on the ground was also thrown out like toys.

"Assault, we can't let them continue to shoot arrows!" Seeing such a tragic situation, Angus's eyes were blood-red and he raised the long-handled giant sword in his hand, and pulled his horse violently, like a fierce wind rushing forward, the archers of the Dongting people have always been the nemesis of light cavalry, if they continue to shoot like this, even twice as many people will not be able to win

"Ready for battle!"

Angus heard a stern shout with the voice of the East Courtyard in front of him, and then there was a sound of a scimitar coming out of its sheath, and he couldn't help but feel some surprise, but more of a boiling heat...,

These Dongting archers are too arrogant, in the face of the frontal impact of the Northland cavalry, they did not choose to maneuver and detour, but also drew their scimitars and stupid melee combat, don't they know that once the archers lose their long-range advantage, they will be the target of killing in front of the melee cavalry

"Arrogant Dongting people!" A grim smile appeared on the corner of Angus's mouth, licking his dry lips, how could he let go of such a good opportunity! Without hesitation, he raised the long-handled greatsword in his hand and shouted with all his strength, "Everyone rush over and kill them all!"

"Utaidka!"

Hundreds of Northland cavalry shouted in unison the slogan of the Northland people representing bravery, like a dark cloud following behind their commander, the arrow cluster above their heads fell with a sharp whistling sound, and people were constantly hit by the arrow cluster, but most of the cavalry still quickly crossed this death distance·

"Kill" Angus struggled to wield a long-handled sword, the blade continued to bring up a flash of blood-colored light and shadow, a figure of the Eastern Court cavalry who staggered past him flickered, bright red blood shot from the neck, like a ball of red flowers exploded in the movement, the war horses were staggered, and the opponent's figure fell from the front of the galloping horse's hooves in an instant, turning into a bloody shadow,

"Papa" war horses are like thunder, in this vast open land, swords and swords, flesh and blood flying, galloping war horses staggered past each other, and the cavalry on it shook and was thrown off the horse. **

The sound of metal impact was mixed with the shouts of fighting, the Northland cavalry was like a file, fiercely inserted from the front of the Dongting cavalry, and then kept squeezing away, the slashing of the cavalry on both sides can be described as tragic, the two cavalry units were like two iron walls colliding together, several war horses rolled on the ground in the squeezing, blood splattered out from the staggered war horses, and the two sides of the hedge against each other were like two metal monsters squeezing each other entangled,

After a staggered round of fighting, the two sides parted like gnawing exhausted hungry wolves, and the Eastern Court cavalry began to assemble scattered on the opposite side, and Angus also took the opportunity to count the number of people. His face changed suddenly,

The two teams of cavalry fought in the first round, and more than 30 people fell on their own. And the other party is only a dozen people, and the huge gap in combat power is almost no suspense.

"How so!"

Angus looked at his subordinates covered in blood with an ugly face, and found that except for himself, everyone else was more or less wounded, although he was very good, and killed three Dongting cavalrymen with one force,

However, in terms of overall strength, the combat power of the Dongting cavalry is still far superior to that of its own northern cavalry

If it is in the cold northland, your own northland cavalry may still be able to rely on its unique advantages to compete with the Dongting cavalry, but this is the prairie, and this is the home of the Dongting people!

"Captain, I feel that something is wrong!" Deputy Captain Lenrk leaned over with a pale face, "The other party should not be an archer cavalry, but a cavalry composed of elite scouts, behind this elite scout cavalry, it is definitely the main force of the enemy, we should go back and report immediately, I am willing to lead ten people to break the rear." Cover everyone's retreat!"

"Do you think I'm a coward who is afraid of death?" Angus glared at him, "We are the glorious Northland cavalry, whether it is one person in front of us or ten thousand people, we have absolutely no reason to retreat in battle!"

"But, Captain, do you want everyone to die here in vain? Look what this is!" Lenrk pulled his clothes open, an obvious knife mark stretched from his chest to his waist, and the broken leather armor oozed bloodstains, and the sight in front of him made Angus's eyes full of bloodshot for a while, with such a serious injury, there was almost no chance of survival,...,

"Now I know, I don't think I can go back!

Lenlk gritted his teeth, closed his clothes with a painful face, and patted Angus's shoulder with a trembling right hand, "You go immediately, bring back the news and our hopes, otherwise, everyone will die in vain!"

"No, if you want to go, you will go first, as the captain, it is my duty to break the last!" Angus hesitated for a moment, and shouted to Lenk and the others with a resolute expression,

"Captain, this may be the last time I'll call you that!" Lenlk's face changed next to him, and he suddenly whispered,

"What do you mean by that?" Angus was stunned for a moment,

In front of him, Lenlk raised his sword with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, his whole face was almost distorted, and suddenly shouted in his mouth, "Since you don't want to leave, then let me kill you with my hands!"

"What are you going to do! Are you crazy!" Angus shouted with a shocked face, and quickly raised his weapon to block Lenlk's long sword, "There was a crisp metal collision sound, and Lenrk's weak body was struck by the huge shock,

"Why, why is this!" Angus faced the attack of his companions, his face full of panic,

"Idiot, don't you see, everyone is injured, why aren't you injured at all!" Lenrk panted and covered the location of the wound, the clothes on his body were already oozing bloodstains, and shouted hysterically, "Don't you see that the people of Dongting want to capture you alive! They want to take you back to ask for information, stupid, now you are the only one who can get away alive"

"You ......" Angus's voice did not fall, Lenrk had already used his last strength to stab Angus's war horse with a sword, and the war horse neighed, and ran like Angus went crazy, and the earth flew backwards,

"Catch up with him, don't let him run!"

Angus heard the shouting and scolding of Dongting behind him, "Run! Captain" This was Lenrk's voice, followed by a tragic fight, the collision of metal squeezing, and finally came to an abrupt end, his ears were full of whirring wind, Angus felt that his eyes were blurred, and when he touched his hand, it was full of tears

At this time, Angus, who was running wildly, did not know that 50 miles behind him, the 40,000 Dongting cavalry who had bypassed the observation point of the Northlanders were rapidly approaching the border grassland occupied by the Northlanders from the east and west, and were about to start a killing called "revenge".

In order to ensure the suddenness of this battle, Rui Tang Tingna personally selected 3,000 of the fastest light cavalry from the elites of various ethnic groups to form a forward scout.

In the KC that was close to the target, he directly routed several scattered Northland cavalry in a row with a blow-dry attack, because the attack was too sudden, these patrols composed of a small number of Northland cavalry almost didn't even have a chance to resist, and they were torn apart by the light cavalry scouts who attacked like the wind in all directions.

The scimitar is like blood, the Dongting cavalry cooperates with skillful tactics, and kills as fiercely as wolves, once again proving that the Dongting people are the masters of the prairie, and no one is more familiar with the environment here than them.

At this time, the sun had just peeked out of the clouds, and the light dark clouds were like a veil of black.

The low-hanging morning fog has lifted. In the hazy morning light, black lines emerged from the edge of the meadow, and a large stretch of the road was dim and messy.

Groups of cavalry began to rush down like a huge arc, the air was suffocated and frozen at this moment, and the brilliance of metal shone with the smell of killing,

The black sky also showed light at this moment, and a layer of golden light shone in the east,

Dozens of narrow black dots began to move slowly, and groups of elite cavalry wearing light chain mail appeared on the grassy hills, and under the horses' hooves was the mist that had not completely dissipated, and the scimitars in their hands formed a forest of cold light in the mist...,

40,000 cavalry poured out.

Lined up in several huge queues of 10,000 people. It's like a sea of war horses. Secretly dense war horses stood in the clearing in front of the meadow, their murderous eyes shining with a ruthless light.

Princess Rui Tang Tingna of Dongting stood on a meadow hill on horseback, the grassland wind blew her beautiful long hair like a black waterfall, and she wore a golden-winged swallow helmet with the symbol of the Dongting royal family on her head.

"Sue everyone! No mercy to traitors and enemies!"

Rui Tang Tingna raised her hand with an indifferent face,

The large meadow stretched out in front of her eyes like a beautiful blanket, and in the distance on the horizon, some messy grassland tents were scattered there, and from a distance it looked like a large black patch

The Ryaru, the sixteenth of the sixty tribes of the Eastern Court, with a population of 80,000, is the largest tribe on the northern border, and is still ignorant of the impending danger.

In the distance, in the morning air as thin as smoke and dust, there is still white smoke from herdsmen making breakfast.

The surroundings were as calm as every morning, and this kind of tent with a spire with red tassels or horsehair was a unique spire tent of the Dongting people, but now in the eyes of Rui Tangtingna, these people who should have called themselves were enemies!

"Attack!" Rui Tang Tingna snorted coldly, and her raised right hand fell suddenly,

"Attack!" A burst of undulating shouts sounded in the front row of cavalry ranks, a thick black long line, surging forward, like a hurricane, the earth trembled violently at this moment, and the towering three-star king flag made a uh-uh wind sound in the morning breeze,
