Chapter 136, the twilight of the steppe barbarians

The army rampaged across the grassland, killing the tribes found on the road, and it became closer and closer to the Heavenly Pillar Sacred Mountain that stood on the grassland of the barbarians.

The holy mountain is in the central area of the grassland.

Behind the Court of the Golden Horde!

The enemy slaughtered the tribes outside the king's tent all the way and advanced towards the holy mountain, how could Adira Abu Basi, as the Great Khan, not guess the purpose of the crusading army.

Originally, they were looking for an opportunity to attack.

But now, launching an attack will do little to stop it.

And the Holy Mountain cannot be lost!

Therefore, Adira ordered the tribes attached to the court of the Golden Horde to shrink, and called on all the tribesmen to take up scimitars and spears to fight.

Head-to-head.

Hold off the menacing enemy outside the Holy Mountain.

"Everything was as we expected. ”

Looking at the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses gathered by the barbarians, everyone was full of confidence, because they once again forced the enemy to start a decisive battle with their own side, and they could fight the same battle as they did against the rebels, and they did not have to continue to stay in the grassland and suffer.

Yelena looked solemn: "Still can't be careless." ”

"Don't worry. Bruce didn't think there was anything else the barbarians could do to turn the tide.

Tens of thousands of barbarian cavalry divided into three parts and formed an encirclement of the crusading army.

But under the sound of drums, the crusading army composed of lords, nobles and knights from all over the August Empire slowly advanced, and there was no fear of the barbarian army that formed a siege, and the light and heavy cavalry were ready to attack at any time.

In the face of a strong enemy who is rushing into the hinterland of the center of the grassland, he is indomitable.

Adira Abu Baszema, the Great Khan of the Golden Horde, walked in front of his people.

His eyes swept over the 30,000 soldiers and horses in his formation, and he said loudly: "We are grazing in the grassland, and we have nothing but horses, cattle, sheep and other livestock!

The only way to get more is to sell the cattle to the profiteers of the Augustan Empire at a low price!

In exchange for a pitiful amount of supplies!

I led you south to plunder the rich western frontier of the Empire!

He also led you to break through the snowy regions in the east, so that you can live an unprecedented rich life, and there is no longer a shortage of various supplies!

I also led you to the easternmost northland in the north of the continent!

So that you have a large number of slaves, and everyone has a better life!

But......

The Augustian Empire does not allow us to be strong!

We are not allowed to live so well!

Now, the enemy will destroy all the good we have gained!

The Holy Mountain is right behind us.

No matter what they have to do, I will never let them get any closer to the Holy Mountain, under the witness of their ancestors.

I will fight until the last moment!

People of the Holy Mountain, follow me, Adira Abu Basi!

For the sake of the Holy Mountain!

For the spirits of the ancestors!

To survive!

In order to maintain the current life!"

In front of the 30,000 barbarian horsemen, the Golden Horde Khan Adira Abu Basi raised his scimitar and used the power of the holy mountain to communicate heaven and earth, create areas where mages could not control the elements, and call on the spirits of the ancestors to grant protection.

Raiding the West, conquering the snowy regions and the Northlands, all the steppe people who have gained wealth from it know it well.

Sooner or later, the Augustians will seek revenge on them!

Now, the Empire is here to take all that they have gained and complete their revenge!

Either you die or I die!

"For the Holy Mountain!" "For survival!" "For the tribe!"

"Rush~!!" "Kill Wow~!!"

"Rumble ~ !!"

The barbarian cavalry charged, and the distance of several miles was nearly half in the blink of an eye, and the battle formation of the crusading army suddenly stopped advancing, and the soldiers at the forefront were not door shields, but auxiliaries pushing wooden carts, and they immediately retreated according to the order.

And on the wooden cart, there are boats and boats that the army originally quietly transported soldiers and horses on the big river!

On top of the empty carriage, a barrier wall was formed in an instant.

The mechanical repeater is quickly assembled, and there is no need to aim, and it is fired at the command of generals and officers.

The rain of arrows flew towards the tens of thousands of barbarian horsemen who were charging in.

"Whoosh~!!"

"Xiuxiu~!!"

Influenced by the Holy Mountain and the spirits of the barbarian ancestors, the mages were unable to cast powerful spells, and were restrained in the wars where they could best use their strengths.

For this situation, Bruce Medici and others have long expected it.

Otherwise, why bring the army?

If the mage can't restrain himself and take them over recklessly, any barbarian can easily push them flat.

Amid the roar of horses' hooves, light and heavy cavalry troops were dispatched.

The light cavalry with Reinaldo Reyes as the sharp edge instantly cut into the left flank cavalry of the barbarians, and then blood and stumps flew wildly, and countless ordinary barbarians were harvested and killed like straw.

Heavy riding with overwhelming might.

Directly knock over countless barbarian light horsemen carrying scimitars and spears, as well as firing bows and arrows.

They are unstoppable!

However.

The barbarian warriors shouted "Holy Mountain" and "Ancestral Spirit Protection" and fearlessly rushed to Reinaldo Reyes and other powerhouses.

Countless people met the heavy cavalry in heavy armor with flesh and blood.

Never die!

The 30,000 horsemen in front braved the rain of arrows and finally rushed into the range of the bow and arrows.

The bowstrings vibrate, and the feathered arrows break through the air and merge into the movements of war drums, trombones, fights, shouts, screams, and the clashing of gold and iron.

"Boom~!!"

The barbarian powerhouse was desperate and finally broke through the battle line built up by boats and wagons.

But they were not greeted by a rain of swords, spears, or arrows.

Instead, it is a cannon that is loaded with a scatter of flowering shells!

"Boom Boom Boom ~ !!"

Without the strength of silver, even if they are protected by the spirit of the ancestors, the Black Iron Rank Barbarian Transcendent cannot stop the cannonballs.

Even if the bronze step is blocked, there will be internal injuries because the body cannot withstand the impact.

The silver-tier powerhouses are also uncomfortable.

And ordinary barbarian warriors.

Countless casualties!

The sorrow of a warrior is that he fell on the way to charge and failed to touch the enemy at all......

Even though he knew that this battle would be extremely tragic, Adira was still extremely sad and angry when he saw this.

But no matter what the situation is, their charge will not stop!

"Keep rushing!"

"Kill~!!"

"Ryo!"

The men and shieldmen in the war finally raised their shields, and under the spears that were erected high, the ends of which touched the ground and quickly formed a phalanx.

The crossbowmen in the back row fired their arrows again.

"Rush!"

The desperate barbarian cavalry finally crashed into the door shield.

Someone knocked out the shield, someone died from the spearhead.

Pegasus, a skilled barbarian powerhouse, leapfrogs shields and spears, wielding scimitars, spears, swords, maces, and other weapons to destroy the formation.

But the transcendents had already taken precautions against this, and when they saw this, they immediately entangled many barbarian powerhouses.

The enemy is not given the slightest opportunity to destroy the structure of the battle formation.

"That's the Great Khan of the Golden Horde!"

"Kill him!"

Recognizing the Golden Horde Khan Adira who jumped into battle on the Prancing Horse, Langton immediately controlled his clone and flew over to attack.

Facing the ferocious sword momentum of Langton's flying attack.

Adira easily defused it with a few swords, and also dealt with the transcendents who killed from all directions.

"You want to kill me, it's not that easy!"

Langton's swordsmanship was strong enough.

But as a doppelganger, the strength and realm are not strong enough, facing the golden peak strength, and casting shamanic spells to enhance the combat power of the Golden Horde, the blade of the blessing of elemental power passed.

The clone disappeared without even having a chance to blow himself up.

"Drag it out, consume him!"

"Mage, use support spells!"

"Weaken him!"

In the area surrounding Adila, shouts rang out one after another, facing the many transcendents of the Augustian Empire.

Khan King Adillah did not have the slightest intention of retreating.

Suddenly, an iron rod was thrown out, and stone pillars carved with runes were instantly erected on the ground.

"It's a barbarian totem pole!"

"Destroy it!"

"Boom Boom Boom ~ !!"

"Poof~" "Ahhh

Distracted by attacking the totem poles, Adira immediately seized the opportunity to kill several of the Transcendents, then threw out several short arm-length iron rods to create totem pillars around them.

The power of the elements forms the realm with the appearance of the totem.

A mage without the power of gold cannot compete with Adira who controls the totem for elemental control!

The mage has been reduced to a soy sauce brother again.

"Stop him!"

"Don't let him get close to the marshal and the marshal!"

"Boom~!!"

Knowing the strength of the Golden Horde, Langton continued to hone his swordsmanship, marksmanship and other cold weapon skills, and found an opportunity to carry out a self-detonation attack.

"Damn, what the hell is this tactic?"

Control clone grappling and self-detonation.

In the face of an open player like Langton, Adira still feels very tricky even if he is strong.

"Who is your commander?"

"Do you dare to fight?"

"Is your commander a mischief?"

"I'm here to fight you!" Hearing the Golden Horde insulting his father, Angus Medici rushed forward without saying a word.

Adira sneered disdainfully: "Just a silver level, you are still far behind!"

"Don't be rampant!" Roderick Fox swung his sword forward.

But the tiger-like sword momentum was broken by Adila casually.

"Die!"

"Zheng~" Angus Medici is the eldest son of Bruce Medici, the first heir of the Medici family, and the best one, since he chose to go to war with the army, Ares will not let him be killed by the barbarian Khan King now.

"It's you, master-level powerhouse!"

There is a totem pole strengthened, the spirit communicates with the holy mountain, and Adira fights with Ares.

Immediately the anomaly was discovered.

"You're not as strong as you used to be. ”

"Suppressed by the Holy Mountain!"

"Haha, the heavens will never stop my king's account, today, it will be your death!"

Adila was not born tall and majestic, and looked like an ordinary little old man, but now he was extremely domineering, and the silver crescent moon in his hand was fiercely released.

Ares, who was holding the contradiction, calmly faced it.

Even if it is suppressed by the Holy Mountain from the outside powerhouse.

But no matter how he says it, he is also the god of war!

The real strength can still crush the gained, Adira, just for the sake of the overall situation, pretending to be suppressed by the Holy Mountain, and he can't exert his strength.

He couldn't attack Ares for a long time, and he was still entangled and went to the periphery of the battle array.

Adira was also aware of the gap between the two sides, even with the suppression and buff of the Holy Mountain, he would not be the opponent of such a strong enemy.

It's time to retreat.

Sensing that the Golden Horde was retreating, Ares did not press too hard, but continued to pester him.

Fight all the way to the periphery of the battle formation.

"Boom~!!"

Knowing that Ares is a god, his real strength is extremely strong, and no one else can interfere in the battle between the two.

Langton's doppelganger doesn't have to scruple to fly directly and self-destruct!

Because of the self-detonation, Adira accidentally stabbed Ares's spear, and the injured body immediately bled profusely.

The four totem poles were finally destroyed by Angus, Roderick and others.

Langton: "Ares, try to capture him alive." ”

"Delusional!" Hearing what the flying Langton clone said, Adira said angrily: "Even if I die, I will not be captured alive by you!"

"You want to blow yourself up too?" Langton frowned.

Ares slowed down his attack.

Seeing that Ares was guarding against his own death, and knowing that this battle was a foregone conclusion, Adira, who didn't want to die yet, immediately pretended to blow himself up, and then seized the opportunity of Ares to retreat, turned around and blessed the power of the wind element to escape.

"Trick us?"

"Chase!"

"Don't try to run!"

"Ares, don't chase!"

As the only high-level combat force in the army, Bruce will not let Ares leave the army, because if something happens, he is the only one who can turn the tide.

"Everyone's back!

The barbarians only have light cavalry, and even if they have armor, the people who wear them are the strongest among them, and there is no systematic organization of heavy cavalry to charge.

Lacking the power to win with one blow, the light cavalry will start a head-on duel.

The barbarians are doomed.

But behind them is the Heavenly Pillar Sacred Mountain, the habitat of the ancestral spirits, and they can't retreat, they can't avoid, they can't escape!

Among the barbarians, Adira and Kim are not the only two smart people.

However, the foundation of the whole tribe of the grassland is in the holy mountain.

For the future of the clan.

They can only fight head-on!

No regrets even though you die!

"Kill~!!"

The battlefield is a meat grinder, with stumps everywhere, mountains of corpses and bones, and unmelted snow on the ground mixed with dripping blood, turning into a quagmire like purgatory.

As the beat of drums, horns, and the clash of gold and iron faded.

The fight has also come to an end.

Screaming, wailing, and begging for mercy were everywhere.

The Golden Horde Khan Adira fled, and the barbarian forces lost their command and fought in the confusion, then were divided by the heavy cavalry, which was completely torn apart, and finally fell under the battle array that advanced like a grinding disc of flesh.

As night fell, the wee hours passed again, and the morning star was now rising.

The battle finally came to an end.

"Marshal, we have suffered 23,500 casualties in this battle. After counting the wounded, Tywin reported, "Of them 8,700 infantry, 4,000 auxiliaries, 5,400 light cavalry, and 3,00......0 heavy cavalry," Tywin reported.

"Based on the pre-war banner of the barbarians, the enemy dispatched a total of thirty-seven tribes. ”

"In this battle, we killed and wounded more than 80,000 barbarians. ”

"And... There are countless old and weak......"

"It's horrible. Hearing Tywin's report, Bruce Medici did not have a trace of pity on his face, but sighed: "The barbarians are all soldiers, and there are more than 100,000 people in the thirty-seven tribes. ”

"If you give them the opportunity to continue to develop, I'm afraid the empire will not be on the border. ”

"But... Why are there only the old and the weak, and there are no women or children?"

"When dealing with small tribes before, there were obviously barbarian boys and women who participated in the war......"

Tywin: "I'm afraid they didn't go to war by order from their Khan." ”

"After all, children represent the future of the barbarians. ”

"You have a point. Bruce nodded: "The children of these barbarians do not die, and the women continue to give birth, even if they suffer heavy losses in this battle, the barbarians can still recover in the future." ”

"So... What do you guys think?"

Yelena snorted coldly: "Kill!"

"None of these barbarian scourges can be left!"

Hearing this, the people of the West, who had suffered from the raids of the barbarians, showed no mercy and proposed: "Find those barbarians who have escaped and exterminate them!"

Martin and other southern nobles talked to each other, and also said: "We are in favor." ”

The East followed the Grand Duke of Medici and was still waiting for the results.

And Isabella agrees with her cousin's suggestion.

After several battles, although the imperial lord and the landless nobles in the middle did not want to fight this war, and were also unhappy with the marshal who commanded them, they thought about the empire and the future, and agreed to exterminate the barbarians.

...... To be continued......
