By the time of the Great Qian, Emperor Lu Bei mobilized the strength of the whole country and requisitioned millions of farmers to the north to build a huge city wall from east to west to defend against the northern troubles. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The boundless city walls were very magnificent and were called miracles by later generations, but they also overdrew the national strength of the Great Qian Empire and made the Great Qian Dynasty a short-lived dynasty, which was overthrown in less than 20 years.

The construction of this defense line marked the turning point of the Central Plains Dynasty's transformation from an active offensive to a passive defense against the northern grasslands, which was a turning point in a basic strategy, and successive Central Plains dynasties relied on this defense line to resist the invasion of the northern nomads.

Relying on the huge city wall, with the archers, can indeed form an effective defense against the nomads, and let the nomadic cavalry who are good at riding and archery not play a role at all in the face of the tall city wall, which can be said to play a strong point and avoid the weaknesses.

However, even if the defense is strong, the entire northern defense line stretches for tens of thousands of miles, and to maintain the normal operation of this defense line is a big burden for the Central Plains Dynasty, and because of this huge burden, the Central Plains Dynasty has no extra national strength to develop military strength.

Even if the defense line is strong and impregnable, the defense line is too long after all, and the steppe nomads can concentrate their forces and break through at any point of the defense line, just like a rhinoceros with a thick scalp can be easily pierced by a needle.

As long as the national power of the Central Plains Dynasty declines, or a strong tribe appears in the Yunmeng grassland, then there will be war, and the pressure from the north will not be alleviated because of this defense line.

Because any defense is passive, and no offense is the best defense.

The wheel of history rolls forward, in the last years of the Jin Dynasty, the court is rotten, the traitorous ministers are in charge, the righteous army is rising, the princes are divided, the smoke is everywhere, the world is in chaos, Yang Jian, the Taizu of Zhou, beheaded the dragon and raised righteousness, changed the day, replaced the Jin Dynasty, and established the Great Zhou.

After ten years of the Central Plains War, the Great Zhou army defeated the major anti-king princes, invaded Tianjing City, destroyed the Great Jin Dynasty, established the world, and established the Great Zhou.

At the same time, an outstanding leader appeared in the Yunmeng Grassland, Torek, who annexed all the departments of the grassland and completed the great unification of the Yunmeng Grassland.

This is another great unification after 600 years of division and melee in the Yunmeng grassland.

Torek is a very ambitious man, unified the Yunmeng grassland, then invaded the surrounding tribes, large-scale annexation began, and longed to revive the Yunmeng Empire, restore the glory of the Yunmeng Empire's invincible world.

More than 600 years ago, Hailazhen, the leader of the Qiyan tribe of the Yunmeng Grassland, spent 20 years to unify the Yunmeng Grassland, and launched a series of wars of aggression.

At the same time, the Yunmeng Empire also launched many southern expeditions, and finally destroyed the Wu Dynasty, which was also the first time in the history of the Central Plains Dynasty that it was conquered by foreigners.

In the course of the three western and southern expeditions, the Yunmeng Empire wiped out more than 100 countries, large and small, slaughtered thousands of large cities, occupied one-third of the Tianya Continent, and enslaved nearly half of the population of the entire Tianya Continent.

Such a huge empire was unprecedented in the entire history of the Tianya Continent, and it also fully illustrated the combat power of the Yunmeng Empire at that time.

The Yunmeng cavalry has super mobility, each soldier is equipped with six war horses, used in rotation, and can run a hundred miles a day, and the Yunmeng people grow up in a bitter cold place, they have great endurance for harsh conditions, and the material requirements are very low.

Yunmeng Iron Riding is invincible in the world, that is, it was recognized by the world during this period.

The Yunmeng Iron Cavalry is not only amazing in combat, but also terrifying in brutality, every time the Yunmeng Iron Cavalry attacks a city, whether it surrenders or not, it directly slaughters the city, regardless of men, women and children, no one is spared.

Moreover, the slaughter efficiency of the Yunmeng Iron Horse has created the highest record in the entire Tianya Continent, a 50,000-person Yunmeng Iron Horse can slaughter millions of cities, where the Yunmeng Iron Horse passes, the white bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crying for thousands of miles.

Helajin, the founder of the Yunmeng Empire, once said this to educate his children - the greatest pleasure of life, to slay down the enemy, to rob them of all their possessions, to watch their relatives cry bitterly, to ride their horses, to rape their wives and daughters.

It was precisely because of the barbaric, powerful, and brutal Helazhen that most of the Tianya Continent groaned in pain under the Yunmeng Iron Horse, slaughtering nearly one-third of the lives of the Tianya Continent.

Hela is really brutal, barbaric, and murderous, but she is known as a generation of Tianjiao, and is called a hero by later generations, for the same reason, there are only four words, become a king and defeat a villain.

In the same way, Hela's deeds also prove that killing one person is a murderer, killing ten thousand people is a murderer, killing ten thousand people is killing a god, killing a god, everyone fears it, everyone praises it, and everyone envies it.

Therefore, there is no right or wrong in any thing, as long as you can do it to the extreme, then you have succeeded, just like Helagen, who slaughtered one-third of the population of the mainland at that time, and spared all the women, children, old and young, but was made a hero.

Sometimes, the world is so funny, a super butcher inexplicably becomes a hero and becomes a generation of pride.

It is precisely because of the unprecedented slaughter efficiency that Helagen is known as the whip of God, specially to purify the demons in the human world, and similarly, the Yunmeng Empire was also known as the destroyer of civilization.

However, the Yunmeng Empire was only a short-lived dynasty, and in less than a hundred years, it was overthrown by a coalition of major families, and waved its army north, all the way to the hinterland of the Yunmeng grassland, completely destroying the Yunmeng Empire established by Helajin.

Since then, the Central Plains Dynasty has learned the lessons of history, not to let the tragedy repeat, no matter at any time, it will prevent the unification of the Yunmeng grassland, after all, Hella was really too terrifying and barbaric back then.

However, after a lapse of 600 years, there was once again a brilliant leader Torek in the Yunmeng Grassland, taking advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains and the change of dynasty, he had no time to look north, unified the grassland, and established the Yunmeng Empire again, trying to restore the glory of the ancestors again.

With the collapse of the Central Plains Dynasty, the Yunmeng Iron Cavalry took the opportunity to advance eastward, defeating the Jin garrison in Chiyan, replacing the rule of the Great Jin Dynasty and becoming the true ruler of the Chiyan Empire.

After conquering the Eight Divisions of the Red Flame, Torek personally led 300,000 Yunmeng iron horsemen and one million war horses, and set out from the Yunmeng grassland, crossed the northern city wall, and prepared to destroy the newly established Great Zhou Dynasty.

With the Yunmeng Iron Cavalry all the way to the bamboo, conquering the city, and every time they arrived in a city, either the city surrendered, or after the city was broken, the city was slaughtered, men, women and children, all were slaughtered, and the ears of your enemies were hung on horseback to show military might.

The slaughter of the city was extremely deterrent, and wherever the Yunmeng Iron Cavalry went, the officers and soldiers defending the city surrendered one after another. (To be continued.) )
