2326 Wind (14)
The rain is falling continuously, covering the world into a white expanse, this white is no longer the snow freeze in winter, but the joy of rain moisturizing things, indicating that the cold winter has passed, and the spring has returned to the earth, and has become a wetland with puddles everywhere. The grassland horse team gathered on both sides of the Dangla River, is in iron armor, waiting for the imperial army in front of them to crash over, although it is already the breath of spring, but the winter cold has not completely receded, under the heavy rain, but it is even more damp and cold,
The patrolling steppe cavalry all spewed long white gas under their leather felt hats.
The large camp of the steppe people down the river, livestock, cattle and sheep were driven out, and the various tribesmen who were attached to the five hundred Leonnaco swamps were now crowded near the riverbank, with more than 200,000 people, and the camp stretched for thirty or forty miles, surrounding several large towers with the banner of the East Garden, and the layers were like a huge plane.
Winter is the great enemy of the grassland people, all the tribes gather together to watch and help each other, and now it is early spring, it is tired of a winter livestock to release out to find grass, but the order from the East Court, the tribes have to hold back their minds to gather here and wait for the next order, the news from the front came, but also let these grassland tribes feel secretly frightened, last winter occupied the vanguard of the imperial army in the area of the Heavenly Wolf Mansion, silently has been killed to the edge of the Oun Nest, if it were not for the brave Lei army to defeat the spirit of the imperial army, now the hooves of the imperial army should have stepped into this grassland that has not been set foot by outsiders for a hundred years
With the right prime minister's Baihe pro-army and the wolf army of His Royal Highness the eldest prince entered, the atmosphere of the big war was solemn in the sky above the Ooneco swamp, and now even the blind can see that the eldest prince is going to make a big move, and the wolf rui army has always been led by the great prince's henchman General An Naningo, and is one of the three famous major armies under the command of the eldest prince
This time, the grassland broke through the imperial capital of the century-old enemy Zhongbian in one fell swoop, and the wolf Rui army was one of the main forces going south, attacking all the way. Tens of thousands of Zhongbia slaves were used to fill the important town of Ninghua, and in one fell swoop cut off the grain route of the flattering Wuqi army of the main army of the 200,000 Zhongbia Empire, and the largest heavy army cluster in the middle of the Central Biya Empire finally had to give up the three major branches of the outer border that had been defended for two months because of lack of food, otherwise the armies of the Eastern Courtyard would have to suffer at least 100,000 casualties before they could reach the capital of the Zhongbia Emperor by separate routes, not to mention that they finally broke through the rumored prosperous capital where the red, pink and rouge could flow for thirty miles in one fell swoop.
In this battle, it is said that the eldest prince benefited the most, followed by the third prince, one step slower, and the second prince, who was short of troops, also captured tens of thousands of slaves and returned. It's just that there is a shortage of food in winter, although the attack on the Emperor of Central Bia, there are countless gold, silver and jewelry, but the food is pitiful, this time it is the third time that Dongting has gone south in two years, destroyed all the way, slaughtered all the way, the prosperous north of Zhongbia was almost killed into a blank land, and millions of Zhongbia people turned into the souls of the Dongting army. There are many bones, and now that the army has returned, there is no place to collect military rations, and the grassland people themselves can't take care of it. There was still a surplus of food for the slaves, and in the end, these Central Biya captives who went north with the army had starved to death before they reached the north, and there was even a rumor that the army that had returned this time. War horses eat human flesh,
Ananingo, the Wolf Commander, stood under the colorful tent, a black shiny cavalry spear stuck deep into the ground. The reins of the war horse were tied to the spear. Brother An Naning's face was solemn and he looked at a large camp in the distance near the river on the left, the silver-white wolf flag fluttered on the top of the camp, there was the big tent of Yelu Hongtai, the right minister of the East Court, this right minister invited himself to lead the Baihe pro-army to enter the western gateway of the grassland, and it was weird.
Who doesn't know that this old fox has always wanted to jump out of the Dongting situation, and it seems that no one will help, but in fact, there are 60,000 Baihe pro-troops in hand, no matter which of the three princes ascends to the new king, his position as the right minister is firm, and it can't be more solid.
And the old fox has been in the royal court for thirty years, there are countless vines, even the old king is a little jealous, and he is even more prestigious in the various tribes in the eastern court, and now the king of the Khan is undecided, and the tribes with their own strength are waiting and watching, the three princes are divided in order to compete for the king of the Khan, and the strength and appeal of the eastern court are not as good as before, the grassland has always been a zone of frequent power changes, and there are countless heroes, and the tribes that change once every hundred years rise and fall, one clan rises, one clan extincts, even if it is the golden family of the year, it has not escaped such a fate,
In this case, how dare the eldest prince let the old fox pat his ass and go to Oone?,
Five hundred Leona is wrong, it has always been a treasure of feng shui with a large number of tribes, and it is completely possible to use the Baihe pro-army as the foundation, gather the manpower of all ethnic groups, and form a situation of confrontation with the royal court in a short period of time, this time the wolf Rui army followed, and it is also for this reason that the right minister must not be allowed to have the slightest chance, although the Baihe pro-army is the royal court guard, but it has already been weakened by the joint efforts of the three princes, and the strength is not as good as before, not only the six royal court strong brigades with excellent combat power have been transferred south for various reasons, even if they have fought more than three times, there are not a few veterans, and the current 60,000 people are all formed by the right minister Yelu Hongtai from the newly recruited clansmen,
Look at the scene in the distance, you can know how low the combat power of this Baihe pro-army is, outside the big tent, those named tribal leaders, the nobles of all ethnic groups, are directing the people below to run back and forth in the camp, from time to time in the rain curtain came their shouts, commanding and dispatching their own clan soldiers to line up, all kinds of banners are flying and flying, sparse and collapsed, these Baihe pro-army prepared in the array, in the wet and cold rain, the clothes and armor soaked in water and slippery are even thicker, under such a rain curtain, it seems that they have not woken up from the winter, the people and horses are a little listless, and they can't stop wiping their faces with rain,
"My lord, that old fox won't really fight, will he?"
Adjutant General Long Keer let out a disdainful sneer on the side, such a steppe cavalry is also called the Dongting Eighth Army? Just kidding, it is considered average in the ordinary clan soldiers, and in front of the wolf Rui army, one can fight three, but it is a pity that it has tarnished the prestige of the Baihe personal guard for decades, and even the armor cannot be completed, and the cavalry gun cannot be assembled, not to mention, it will be beaten to pieces by a rain, the queue will be skewed, and the morale will be low, not to be called elite if you shout twice in the rain, such an army can also go to the battlefield?
If you change to fight the Wolf Army. Roncol was completely sure that he would defeat this army of 60,000 troops in half an hour, not to mention, the army of the Falcon Empire on the other side, what a figure he was, he was also killed by the imperial army in one go, and threw his life in the Heavenly Wolf Mansion,
Although Lei Jun's Wu Guli claimed to have inflicted heavy losses on the advance of the Imperial Army, the result of that battle was in the eyes of everyone, if you Wu Guli was strong enough, how could you be defeated by a 30,000 Imperial cavalry that broke through first. Ran all the way for hundreds of miles, and when I arrived at the gate of Oone, I thought of counterattacking the other party once, but that time, I was still carried by the other party, and the clear-eyed people did not rub the sand, since I Gudri had hit the imperial army hard, why did I enter Oone, the first thing was not to look for a fighter to kill back. Expanding the results of the battle, he plunged headlong into the most defensible valley of the Oone, and stayed in it and did not come out, but tripled the number of scouts sent out. It looked like someone had knocked a stick
Even Wu Gudeli, who claimed to have taken a big advantage, became a turtle with a shrunken head, and the imperial army was still weak?
According to the limited information available to the present, the main forces of the Imperial Army are still concentrated at the gate of the Onarco Swamp, and the number of troops is still increasing. It seems that he is preparing to have a good fight with Dongting in O-Na, Brother An Naning thinks so, if the old fox really fights the imperial army. I watched from the side, if I dare to play tricks, with the combat power of the wolf army, I will take the head of this old guy, five hundred Leona is wrong, but more than 200,000 tribes, as well as the Lei army of Wu Gudeli, how can it not be an area that can be occupied at once, as long as the eldest prince ascends the throne of Khan, when the main force of the Eastern Court advances westward, Oonne is not ready to be captured
On the edge of the Ronco swamp, on the periphery of the camp where the Imperial Army is located, wooden watchtowers have been erected in the past few days, and the Imperial Army crossbowmen stand on them, which can be regarded as completely cutting off the eyes of the Eastern Court scouts, and the Eastern Court Army scouts can see the infantry in array in the Imperial Army camp that they see now. There are also armored light cavalry shuttling, the formation is quite strict, and it looks like a strict battle, not to mention that behind such a camp array, there are vaguely a large number of heavy armored iron cavalry to help! Most of these Eastern Court scouts are Wu Gudeli's Lei army, since they were defeated by Mephio Boone's heavy armored dragoons on the border, Wu Guli has put all his thoughts on the imperial heavy cavalry,
He believed that once the Imperial cavalry group had been assembled, it would be the time for the Imperial Army to launch a full-scale attack on the area of Ontso
In terms of combat power, Wu Gudeli thinks that his Lei army is not lost to the imperial cavalry, but the empire's unique heavy cavalry killing array has a fatal suppressive force for his Lei army, he has sent someone to inform this situation to the Annaning brother and the right minister Yelu Hongtai who drove into the Oun Na wrong, but the feedback back is not good, Ananing brother for the so-called imperial heavy cavalry, the tone is quite disdainful, thinking that in the vast grassland, the slow heavy cavalry is the target, unless the other party completely traps himself in all directions, it is to give the other party another thirty years, and the heavy cavalry does not want to touch his horse's tail, the reply of the right minister to the imperial heavy cavalry is just a thank you. Wu Guderi was not a fool, how could he not see the appearance of the wolf army and the Baihe army, in order to avoid himself being involved in this whirlpool, he withdrew the Lei army to the valley of the Onna River, thirty or forty miles away from the two armies.
"It's all in such a situation, do you still want to kill them all?"
In the big tent of the Baihe pro-army, an old man wearing a gray-white robe with a ruddy face walked through the tent gate coldly, looking directly at a huge gray wolf flag that occupied the upper reaches of the river a few miles away, and took a condescending posture, with an iron blue look on his face, showing that he was deeply angry at the current situation.
He is in charge of the internal affairs of the royal court for 30 years of the right minister Yelu Hongtai, Yelu tribe was originally a grassland clan, because the grassland is close to the Central Biya region, so by the influence and influence of the Central Biya culture is much heavier than the grassland tribe, but also better than other grassland tribes are better at internal affairs, all generations are the person in charge of the internal affairs of the royal court, this time the old Khan King died unexpectedly, the three princes did not let each other, so that the royal court shocked the division of the eight armies of the grassland, and has been silently cultivating their own power and prestige of the old man, before they were able to surface, the Yelu family served the grassland Khan court for several generations, and the grassland tribes are better, the royal court sent to the order documents of the various tribes, are issued by the Yelu family, decades down, no matter how big or small, the tribes have regarded the Yelu family as the spokesperson of the royal court,
After the death of the Khan, the Yelu family could only declare neutrality in a hurry, which led to the fact that no matter which prince ascended to the position of the Khan, the first intolerable thing was the Yelu family that had shaken the prestige of the Khan, fortunately, the old man used the power of the family that had been lurking for many years, and held the Baihe pro-army, one of the eight armies, although it was just an empty shelf pro-army, cobbled together tens of thousands of people, and he invited himself to the west to be stationed in Onna to guard the grassland by mistake, so he could be regarded as getting out of a killing machine, but the eldest prince wolf Ruijun followed, and the killing intent was so undisguised, how not to make this old man who had controlled the internal affairs of the Eastern Court for thirty years angry
Reuniting people's hearts is easier said than done
As the right minister of the Eastern Court, how can he not see that this rebellion of the Khan King has shaken the national capital of the Eastern Court, the Eighth Army of the Eastern Court is the elite of the Eastern Court, but now, it has become a cannibalistic weapon, among the three princes, the eldest prince is the strongest, but the measure of tolerance is also the worst, he has already said that he has retreated to such a Cheng dรน, and he still does not hesitate to send the wolf army to stuff himself to death before he is willing,
The second prince's ability and strategy are not bad, but unfortunately he always likes to plan a retreat, if people have the idea of retreating, what else can they use to fight for the king of kings of the steppe Khan?
The third prince seems to be smart, and the wealth he gains will be distributed to his subordinates, but in fact, he doesn't know that the more he does this, the more he is forcing the other two to join forces to get rid of him, and there is no real strength as a backing, and those tribes who have been favored will not be able to gnaw at that time.
No matter what the result is, the East Court is no longer the original East Court, although there is such a brilliant record as breaking the Zhongbia Imperial Palace, but the prestige of the royal court has dropped greatly, the wind of all ethnic groups has risen, and the situation of division has been doomed.
"In this situation, the Yelu family can't wait for death, since the eldest prince is so determined, then don't blame me Yelu Hongtai is ruthless!" Yelu Hongtai grinned slightly, and pressed a document in his hand on the table, Baihe's pro-army combat strength is poor, but isn't the army that can fight in the wrong place of Onna?
