The Akastian marshland in the north of the Dongting grassland, the water and grass are abundant, and the low-lying terrain has always been the area where the Dongting people concentrate on grazing in the early spring, since the climate enters May, the sky has been a little melancholy, the gloomy dark clouds have almost covered all the sun, and the dense water meadow also seems a little humid and warm.

I don't know if it's because the war makes people feel hot and uneasy, or because the weather is really hot. The river flowing by the side can't take away the feeling of humidity and heat.

At the eastern end of the marshland, a large number of tents covered the ground like clouds, a desolate wind blew from the earth, sweeping the scattered weeds into the sky, a group of Kugit light cavalry on horseback whistled through the grass like a whirlwind, "Tata" wearing light leather armor, behind them carrying a powerful recurve bow of the Eastern Court cavalry, like a swift black long line, quickly galloping across the land,

The horse's hooves, nailed to the thick arc of the horse's iron, were like a sharp razor, completely tearing the ground apart, turning black from east to west and west, and these were splashed with wet dirt and slapped mercilessly on the quagmire of the swamp ground.

Countless branches broke and fell to the ground with the flowers, followed by heavy footsteps until they shattered completely.

A hundred patrols composed of black-armored archers from the East Court spread out along the meadow, the cool wind blew, and the mane of the war horse flew, reflecting the vigorous posture of the horseback cavalry, at this moment, in the place where their eyes were concerned, an important meeting of the East Court people was being held,

The aggressive power of the Northland people has caused the dissatisfaction of most of the Dongting tribes, especially after the two small tribes responsible for border defense were wiped out, the tentacles of the Northland people have extended to the hinterland of the Dongting grassland, and Yan zhòng threatens the traditional forces of the Dongting people.

At the beginning of the meeting, there was a tense atmosphere. In fact, since joining the Falcon Dynasty, many tribes have chosen to move south, so the previous style of working hard in the bitter cold land has regressed a lot, and the fierce spirit in the blood of the Dongting people can't withstand the wear and tear of the comfortable environment.

A tribal leader who came from the border was the first to open fire, criticizing the inaction of some tribes and even not saving them, only to lead the northeastern border of Dongting, which was originally the weakest in strength, to be hit by the northlanders first.

This tall young man had well-developed limbs, powerful and powerful eyes, and his hard leather armor was splattered with solidified dark red blood

He is the leader of the Dianlisi tribe on the northern border of the East Court, the Dianlisi tribe ranks fifty-seven among the sixty-three tribes of the East Court, and belongs to the kind of small tribe that typically relies on the migration of water and grass on the border, with a population of 25,000 people and more than 4,000 soldiers who can fight.

However, because they are highly mobile on the border, they are responsible for daily patrol tasks, but the patrol range of them changes at any time according to the area of migration, so this time it is this small tribe that is the first to be attacked by the northlanders.

The eldest princess of the Eastern Court, Rui Tang Tingna, sat in the most important position of the big tent as the princess, and the leaders of the sixty tribes of the Eastern Court sat on both sides

"I just want to know, when my people fought bloody battles with the invaders of the Northlands, why did those who went to ask for help die in the camp of the Ruipai tribe in the rear, when will all of you be able to send reinforcements to support? Do you continue to wait and see like this, or continue to stay in the back and watch the excitement? Wait for the Northlanders to march all the way to Motu?"...,

"What do you mean by this?" A tribal leader wearing a red brocade fur hat stood up from his left seat with an indignant expression and said viciously, "What is the person who went to ask for help, why did he die in the camp of my Ruipai tribe, he himself fell off his horse because of excessive horseback running, broke his sternum and died, is it also my responsibility! And I also sent 5,000 reinforcements, how can you say that I stand by and watch from behind!"

Dian Li Mohe turned his head, looked at the leader of the Ruipai tribe, and gritted his teeth and said, "The bullshit of the five thousand reinforcements, our clan fought desperately from day to night, more than half of the casualties, and did not see a single reinforcement!

"That's right," the Patriarch of Ruipai said with a leisurely face, "I received a report from the reinforcements, saying that your Dianlisi tribe had withdrawn in advance, so I had to give up the plan to wait for the reinforcements of the Bo'an tribe to launch a battle together, if it wasn't for you to fight without permission, and wait until the five thousand people of the Bo'an tribe arrived together, it would not be completely impossible to gather and destroy the enemy!"

"Fart!" Hearing the argument and mockery of the Ruipai patriarch, thinking of the tragic situation of his tribe being almost completely wiped out, Dian Limo and his eyes were bloodshot and scolded, "Our clan is only 50 miles away from your Ruipai clan, if the light cavalry gallops to help, it can be reached in 3 hours at most, but unfortunately our clan and the northland people who are several times their own have fought bloodily for 7 hours, and I haven't seen a single reinforcement!"

But you told me that you were waiting for reinforcements from the Bo'an tribe in the rear, and you really didn't the blood of the people of the Ranis tribe flow from your body!"

"No wonder people say that you are a reckless man who doesn't understand strategy," the Ruipai patriarch pursed the corners of his mouth with disdain, and said mockingly, "If there is no reinforcement from the Bo'an tribe, in the face of 6,000 well-equipped Northland troops, my 5,000 people will also be filled! If you are scared now, you can leave the meeting immediately!"

Dian Li Mohe stood up with an excited expression, stared at the sneering Ruipai patriarch angrily, and said fiercely: "What do we have to be afraid of? What are we afraid of? I am afraid that when I am about to go to the front line, I will be stabbed in the back by my own companions, I am afraid that my head will be personally sent to the Northland people by my own people! What nonsense about the convergence with the Boan tribe, I really have to believe you, I don't even know how to die!"

At this time, the mentioned Bo'an patriarch stood up with a slight frown, and said puzzledly, "Doesn't your Dianli clan have 3,000 wolf guards? Plus the clan can gather at least 10,000 people in an emergency, but your opponent is only 6,000 troops from the Northlands, so you should be able to win no matter how you fight! How could you lose so badly!"

The corners of his mouth said coldly, "Do you want to satirize the combat effectiveness of our Dianlisi clan? Don't forget who was chased out of hundreds of miles by my 3,000 wolf cavalry in the white flat meadow three years ago, what do you think of the combat effectiveness of my Dianlisi wolf cavalry at that time?" Lao Tzu beat your 5,000 with 3,000, and it didn't make you cry and cry for your mother......

"Nonsense!" The patriarch of Ruipai was exposed in public, and his face suddenly couldn't hold back, and he said angrily, "That's not counted! That's a conspiracy and tricks! Besides, when did Lao Tzu admit defeat? Later, he didn't beat you the same ......"

"Enough! Are you going to argue until next year's spring hunt?" Rui Tang Tingna, who was sitting on the main seat, shouted to stop this meaningless argument, and the angry Dianli Mohe had no choice but to swallow a mouthful of saliva, and sat down with a red face and a thick neck, and his vicious eyes seemed to be about to file the Ruipai patriarch opposite, and he couldn't relieve his hatred. ...,

Rui Tang Tingna turned her head away, looked at the puffed up Dianli Mohe, and asked in a condensed voice, "The combat power of the Dianlisi Clan's wolf guard is enough to rank in the top ten among the cavalry of my Dongting tribe, if it is really as you said, wouldn't the combat strength of the Northlanders be quite strong? You Dianli Mohe has always been known for his mobile tactics, why would he be defeated by 6,000 infantry in the vast grassland with 3,000 elite cavalry, it is really a bit unbelievable!"

"It's a reindeer, Your Royal Highness the Eldest Princess" Dianli Mohe stood up with a respectful face and responded, the northern land is very cold, even in May, the ice period has just been lifted, and the meadow is full of ice slag and snow, they seem to know our habits very well, and they know that once the camp is established, they will linger there for at least 10 days or so, otherwise it will be regarded as disrespectful to the immortal sky,

The Northlanders took advantage of this opportunity to raid us with a large number of reindeer carrying hoplites, and they seemed to have known our exact location for a long time, and deliberately bypassed the route they used to take, so by the time we found out, they had lost the possibility of mobile combat.

Unless we let them slaughter our close relatives and ignore the withdrawal, this is absolutely impossible, our people are fighting desperately, and the people who can survive are only ten thousand!"

"So, the location of your camp has been betrayed! That's why you have to fight to the death!" Rui Tang Tingna's face suddenly became gloomy, and her eyes shot like lightning on the face of the Ruipai clan patriarch who was arguing just now,

"I also learned the location of the camp of the Dianlisi tribe after receiving a request for help!" "The patriarch of the Ruipai tribe hurriedly shouted, "It is because I don't know their specific location or the number of incoming enemies that the reinforcements of our tribe can only advance to the battlefield while waiting for reinforcements from the Boan tribe to march in together."

"Who could that be?" Rui Tang Tingna's two beautiful eyebrows were twisted together, the grassland tribe has always been the most secret about the location of their camp, because it is not just a camp, but the lifeblood of the entire tribe, there are their own valuable possessions, wives and children, and the general camp is exposed, which often attracts covetous greedy attacks, especially in the chaotic grassland, plundering and counter-plundering have never stopped

"Your Royal Highness Princess, King Khan is in a hurry!" Just when Rui Tang Tingna was in a fog, a royal court guard hurriedly ran over and handed her the letter with emergency fire paint, Rui Tang Tingna opened the letter in confusion, couldn't help but gasp, and muttered in a low voice, "I didn't expect it to be him!"
