1373 The East Wind Rises (1)
At night in Ebel Tsoft, the stars were shining and the moon was cold, and there were dark clouds in the sky, and they walked very slowly. The white mist of the vast grassland was half sinking and half falling, the remnants of the leaves were rolling, and a team of cavalry from the Eastern Court quietly appeared on a grassy hill outside the town.
Bokasli, the leader of the Western Army, appeared on the grassy knoll surrounded by several tribal leaders, and the old man of the Eastern Court, who had been fighting all his life, swept his eyes coldly over Ebert Tsoft, who was flying the battle flag of the border guards in the distance,
The town is not big, the area is not enough is 100 meters square, outside the low side wall, is the camp of the imperial border guards, it is calm, there is no sign of a big war at all, a patrol cavalry in black armor is casually riding horses from not far away, the horse's hooves raise the dust on the ground, in the dark night, there is a crisp sound of horses' hooves
"Under the pressure of my 40,000 troops, I can still be so leisurely, and I don't know if I am used to being lazy, or if I have been prepared!"
Behind him, the camp of the 40,000 troops of the Western Army covered the earth, like a gray-white carpet covering the grassland, all the way to the Zhiglisan River 10 miles away, and the campfire lit by the camp, like a starlight that illuminates the night sky, dyes half of the sky red, if the other party is really unaware, unless it is blind,
But the situation in front of him is indeed very strange, the Imperial border guards stationed in this choke point are only 5,000 people, and they seem to have completely ignored the Dongting people on the opposite grassy knoll, leisurely walking in their own garden
"Your Excellency, you think too highly of them!"
An iron tower-like tribal leader in black leather armor said in a loud voice
"This cavalry of the Empire is too lonely, or they really think that with the so-called prestige of the Empire, they can control this choke point with 5,000 troops, what a joke! With such scattered and amateur opponents, our Gibran cavalry can crush them all to pieces without much effort!"
"Yes, the other party's attitude is completely insulting to us!"
The other clan leader also nodded and said, "Just one order." Even if it is the Empire, I do not believe that with the swiftness of my Eastern Court cavalry, I will be pinned down by the heavy Imperial Legions! Our iron hooves and scimitars will tell them who is the true master of this steppe!"
"You don't really think that there are only 5,000 people on the other side!"
Under the envious gaze of everyone, Bokalis removed his bloodshot pupils from the lenses of the lookout tube, looked at the dark earth in the distance, and said, "According to intelligence, ten miles from the left flank of Eberthoft, there is the Third Banner Regiment of the Border Guards. Ten miles on the right flank is the second banner regiment of the border guards, and at the border, which is less than fifty miles away from Ebertsoft, the commander-in-chief of the border guards, Berant Bonnie, is personally in charge, and more than 10,000 reinforcements are being assembled!"
"So what, at most the number is equal, who else have I been afraid of in the Eastern Court cavalry!" The burly patriarch flashed a trace of unwillingness on his face and said, "Although the previous attachment was a little unwilling, but the situation at that time was so compelling, if we did not choose to annex, the empire would have raised the 100,000 army of butcher knives and the Xiting cavalry that were eyeing the tiger." will not hesitate to kill all the fifty-six parts of our scattered East Garden, and the forbearance for a while has won us at least half a year, so we have today's opportunity. Besides, our opponent is nothing but a woman."
"Our opponent is only a woman, but let's not forget the father of this woman. In Yeruige, he once inflicted heavy losses on the cavalry of the Western Garden!and rewrote the trajectory of the entire grassland," Bokalis snorted dissatisfiedly when he heard the leader's words
"Ye Ruige!" Several clan leaders glanced at each other, and fell silent for a while. Even the menacing strong man had a look on his face, you must know that for most Kujiit people, this place name represents the turning point of the northern grassland from prosperity to decline.
On that day, the West Court was at its peak, and more than 100,000 troops marched south into Rui Erdian, and the troops pointed directly at Paravon, the center of the mainland.
Seeing that it was only one step away from success, in the end, it suffered a heavy blow in Yerui Pavilion, which was less than a hundred miles away from Paravon, and returned with a halberd, because of this, it was intercepted and killed by the current Falcon Khan King halfway, and he could not move forward, he could not retreat, and more than 100,000 troops were beaten and dispersed in the corridor, and finally even the Khan King of Xiting himself was killed in battle, and the steppe dynasty that had lasted for hundreds of years was terminated by a landlocked country
An older tribal leader frowned slightly, took a deep breath of cold air, and said, "The father of the woman that Lord Bokalis is talking about is the Duke of Raldian Berrant who used himself as bait in Yerui Pavilion to lure the Xiting people into the ambush circle, "Yes, it's him!" Bokalis nodded, looked into the distance, and said with emotion, "That's a hero, but unfortunately I didn't have a chance to meet him!" He was defeated by the Falcon Khan King in the northwest wasteland, and his daughter became the commander of the Imperial Border Guards!" It's ironic."
"The so-called commander of the border guards is nothing more than the romantic lover of the Khan King!" one of the leaders sneered "Haha......" The patriarchs let out a laugh with various meanings in unison, "Love the country, love the beauty even more!" Bokalis also smiled and leaned back on the horse, straightened up, and laughed without respect. This is our Khan King, and she doesn't care about anything at the moment, and it is said that he did not hesitate to wage war against the entire Rui Erdian for this woman, and I don't know what kind of grief and anger those warriors who died because of it."
"It's no wonder!" the tribal leaders turned to each other, "It turned out to be a love breed who did not hesitate to go to war with other countries for the sake of women, such a person is the king of Khan, will we not be able to raise our heads! Gee. In addition to the indescribable envy, the humiliation seems to be greater......" Several tribal leaders shook their heads almost at the same time, and even the older tribal leader shook his head and said, "Such a Khan king is not the gospel of our Kujits!"
Bokalis's responsible gaze swept over the tribal leaders who had been provoked by him, and said in a disdainful tone, "It is said that he did some kind of civilian saintess ceremony in Salander in the south, and he was also involved with that beautiful high priest, it's really funny, just kill all the rebels." Do you need to be so troublesome? As the Khan King of our Dongting people, his body should flow with the blood of the noble Huang family, the cold scimitar and the ruthlessness to the enemy,
"And our falcon Khan King is obviously not worthy! The Khan King's heart is too soft, and the hero is sad to pass the beauty pass after all, and after soaking in the gentle country for a long time, no matter how sharp the scimitar is, it will become dull, and the eagle that once soared in the sky will also become a vulture attached to the earth! The rainstorm in the northern steppes has caused disasters, and the people have been displaced and suffered heavy losses. And our Khan King is singing in the south every night, and he is nostalgic for the gentleness of women, which is really a bit excessive."
"What Lord Bokalis said is so right, now on the grassland, only a leader like Lord Bokalis has the quality of a true Khan King" The clan leaders nodded in agreement, "It's a pity, I'm not the bloodline of the Huang family!" Bokalis shook his head pretendedly, "Otherwise, I have the confidence to recreate an Eastern Garden!" "What's so difficult about this, when the young patriarch of Bokabik catches Princess Rui Tangtina, won't the bloodline of the Golden Clan be transferred to the Boca Clan!" The Golden Family has never been owned by a fixed surname. Even if it was the previous royal family, wasn't it inherited by marriage!"
Hearing what everyone said, Bokalis's eyes couldn't help but condense, this time he brought 40,000 troops to force the border guards. And his son Bokabik led 60,000 men to run to Rui Tangtina on the eastern border of the steppe.
Judging by the timing, the two armies should have collided, as long as the pre-arranged inner line acted according to plan. There is almost no suspense about the outcome of this war,
The only thing that needs to be considered is the Empire's reaction to this matter.
However, in this vast grassland, even the most elite troops of the empire can only eat soil behind the Dongting cavalry.
The coming heavy rain will make this war impossible to end in a mud,
As long as this season drags on, the loss of key figures and a series of military defeats in connection with the Dongting Grassland will only make the empire's deterrent power against other tribes in the Dongting Courtyard quickly weaken, and eventually lose control of the grassland......
On a relatively remote watchtower in Ebertsoft,
A pair of beautiful pale blue pupils were looking at the grass knoll opposite through the lookout mirror in their hands, and their white fingers were clenching the bronze tube, watching the old fox Bokalis and a group of patriarchs in the distance chatting and farting there, entertaining themselves and talking happily,
Berant Bonnie suddenly turned her head playfully and asked the fat man next to her, "You say, if I suddenly order an attack now, will the group of guys on the other side immediately run away like rabbits with their tails cut off?"
"No, they're going to bring more people with them!" the fat man rolled his eyes at Berrant Bonnie, and made a knowingly inquiring look, "The stationing of five thousand men at this vital choke point is intended to create the illusion that the border guards are going to use this place as the center of the defensive line, and in a way, this is already the first line that may break out at any time,
I believe that the Western Army is also very clear that if it does not fight, it will inevitably storm here! There will be no second choice" "Hehe, that's not necessarily, if that's the case, I want to try the courage of this leader of the Western Army!"
Berlant Bonnie winked at the fat man, showing a charming smile, "Don't mess around" The fat man was startled by Berlant Bonnie's ambiguous smile, and hurriedly said, "We only have five thousand people, and the other side is 40,000,
"Even if it's one person who spits on it, we're going to get a few more mouthfuls!" a slut patted his chest with a worried face, "Poof, okay! When will we be able to attack?" Berlant Bonnie chuckled at the fat man's teasing, "Wait!"
The fat man pretended to shrug his shoulders mysteriously, "I believe the other side is also planning to do the same, and they are also waiting! Because the real battlefield is not here! Tonight, there is no sleep!" (To be continued.) )
