Power and Empire Chapter 2883: Clear road
Yanzhou is full of mist under the heavy rain
Receiving the news of Qinglan Fort’s defeat, Long Family’s Patriarch Long Yang personally led the troops to meet him. As a result, on the Lantai River, 20 miles away from Qinglan Fort, he saw the Qinglan Fort defenders coming all the way down.
The muddy and exhausted Fifth Flag Infantry Army is trying to form an array to cover the people crossing the river while more troops try their best to collect materials and raft them. It can be seen that the army is struggling to the north. At this point, the remaining number is only about two to three thousand, not even one-fifth of the number that should be in the fifth banner, and everyone is exhausted to the extreme, and can barely maintain order, not to fight for victory. But just to have one more chance to survive, in the past, when retreating under the enemy's pursuit, there were always family children who took the initiative to break and fight to the last person, covering the brigade to go smoothly. [w.SuiMеng.lā But at this moment, this kind of cohesion is never seen again, all the things that can cross the river are used, and the scattered soldiers jump directly into the river, tumbling up and down, being swept away, showing Qinglan The defeat of the fort has made these disintegrated western soldiers feel desperate. The tradition of the western army for decades has long been forgotten, and I only hope to cross this small river as soon as possible and escape from the butcher knife of the prairie cavalry. Days
"Quickly, set up a pontoon bridge on the Lantai River immediately!" Long Yang shouted loudly, his hands clucking his saber, his eyes had seen thousands of riders behind the broken Western army across the river. The prairie cavalry hangs behind
Seeing the Western Army battle flag flying in front, these prairie cavalry were very unwilling to stop the horses, waiting for the arrival of the following men and horses, and some of them continued to move forward, a chaotic arrow from the Western Army archers on the other section of the river. That’s why these steppe cavalry hurriedly twisted their heads
It’s just that although these prairie cavalry stopped their horses, their faces were covered with rain and concrete, but their eyes were eager to try, a bloodthirsty and brutal spirit
The expansion of the central part of Central Piazza, coupled with the fact that Qinglan Fort, known as the gateway to the capital of Yanzhou, was also defeated in World War I, has given these steppe cavalry confidence. Although there are only more than a thousand, they all believe that as long as One punch. Even if the Long Family West Army that suddenly appeared on the opposite side of the river did not collapse immediately, it could destroy several arrays. If they could fight horizontally and horizontally, they might be able to create a miracle with more than a thousand riders!
"Asshole, a mere thousand riders, even dared to shock me thousands of elites from the Western Army"
On the other side of the river, Long Yang's sharp eyes narrowed slightly into a thin line, making his slender eyes even more cold. The posture of these prairie cavalry is really too arrogant, if it weren't for this lenient agreement. The seven or eight meters of the river is blocked, these prairie cavalry might really directly launch an impact on their own army's main formation, and ignore the huge disparity in the strength of the two sides. This is completely ignoring the confidence of the enemy, and it makes Long Yang feel the more dangerous. Something
The army fights, the morale is the first, and he put the heavy armor and the fifth banner on the first line of defense, Qinglan Fort, originally planned to stop it severely, so that the Yelu army, who has not encountered resistance since entering Yanzhou, I smashed into a big bag at Qinglan Fort, but I didn’t expect that Qinglan Fort would not persist for a day and was directly taken by the Yelu Army.
"Patriarch, his subordinates are incompetent, the 100,000 Yelv Army used Thor to attack Qinglan Fortress, and the squad mingled in to open the gate of Qinglan Fortress in our armor. They stood there hopelessly, and their subordinates could only order to evacuate!"
At this moment, I heard a stern voice. A person who was unsure whether it was river water or blood water was carried by the guards from a wooden raft on the shore to the front of Longyang’s war horse, and it didn’t matter. With blood-red liquid flowing down on his body, he struggled to get up to Long Yang and kneel down on his knees. It was the Dragon Art of the Fifth Banner of the Western Army who had retreated from Qinglan Fort. These Western Army generals had pale faces and their helmets were already I don’t know where it’s gone, my head was scattered, my armor was torn apart during the flight, and the arrow wound on my shoulder was bandaged. It was stained red with blood, mixed with the wet blood, and the whole person was dyed red, such as It's not that I've reported my identity, I'm almost unrecognizable!
"Long Jue, the Qinglan Fortress was lost, so that the gate of Shangjing was lost. Neither military regulations nor national laws can tolerate you. Do you have anything else to say?" Long Yang watched as he was kneeling on his horse covered with blood. The former Dragon Jue, with cold eyes, wanted to pull out the sword to kill. As the commander of the Fifth Banner of the Western Army, Long Jue naturally has a very good relationship with Longyang. The Fifth Banner is also a trump card that Longyang relies on very much. , I didn’t expect to be so casual,
"Lost the military battlefield, the loss of the Fifth Banner is even more serious. No matter how the family owner punishes it, the subordinates only hope that they can finish the matter before they die!"
Long Jue's face was determined, his iron armor clenched, his entire knees knelt on the muddy ground, resisting the sting of his whole body, and not allowing soldiers to bandage him, he saw the red ground, kneeling on it. The position expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye, and everyone who saw this scene couldn’t help but move. Many people who had just cursed Long Jue inwardly for fear of death, also stopped their voices at this moment.
According to the bleeding speed, even if Long Jue can insist on finishing speaking, he will die from bleeding too much. How could such a person be afraid of death!
"Okay, you say it!" Facing Long Jue's heart with death, what else could Long Yang say, but his expression became more serious and bleak, Qinglan Castle failed too quickly, tens of thousands of people The death of a soldier in the army is definitely a heavy blow to other Western troops who are currently trapped in Yanzhou and are preparing to wage a **** battle with the prairie people.
"It has long been heard that the expansion of the Prairie Army in central Central Piazza not only gained enough materials and wealth, but more importantly, it made the Prairie Army, who was still hesitating southward at the beginning, more confident. In the end, even hundreds of cavalry dared to harass the main camp of the court flattering Zhangwu army. In the end, the Zhongbia court completely suppressed the idea of going north. It seems that such a rumor is not groundless."
"The current grassland army and the grassland army when they went south are no different!"
"Especially the prairie people have received a large number of ordnance supplements in the central part of Central Bahia. Even the military formations and siege strategies are not much different from those of the regular Central Bian army. When it comes to siege methods, even Even more proficient than the regular Central and Bian army "Long Jue," the surrounding Long Family soldiers suddenly changed their faces. The Long Family insisted on guarding Yanjing, because everyone knows that the Prairie Army is a hero in field battles, and it is a bear to siege the city. /
The Yanzhou barrier was originally majestic. Although it was destroyed once, it has been repaired a lot in this year. I can’t say that it can make it difficult for the entire grassland tribe to step through the southern wall as before, but it is only used The Yelu Army, which had a strength of only more than 100,000 troops, should have been rubbing it, but unexpectedly, the news that Long Jue brought back was the fact that even a strong wall like Qinglan Fort was easily broken by the Prairie Army!
Long Jue ignored the bleeding and knelt in the mud. He insisted on repeating a series of tactics used by the grassland army to attack Qinglan Fort. In the end, he stopped his voice and fell to the ground with his head. In the direction of Qinglan Fort, "Patriarch, Master Long Jue has gone." One of the guards walked to Long Jue's corpse, and after confirmation, stood up and said with regret.
Long Jue totally refused to bandage, just in this seemingly cruel way, to apologize to all the Long Family soldiers who died in Qinglan Fort
"Take it home first!" Long Yang's complexion was complex, and he waved his hand to let people condense the body of Long Jue first. The news that Long Jue had brought it back really made him completely unexpected that the people in the steppe were already fighting bravely. In the past, because they were not good at siege warfare, they were able to block them with strong walls. But if the people from the steppes start to siege the city like the Zhongbian people, the strong walls of Yanzhou will not be able to block them. , How to fight this battle!
In this case, to a large extent, it is inseparable from Longyang's practice of taking care of Yanzhou and ignoring the central region.
The embarrassment of the 300,000 prairie tribes going south is still vividly remembered. In just one year, the prairie army, which was like a bereavement dog at the beginning, showed the combat power to the extent that Long Yang was also surprised. , I regret secretly, I knew this earlier, I should go south from Yanzhou at the beginning, take advantage of the unstable foothold of the Yelv family, and attack the court up and down, and completely strangle this exhausted grassland army in the middle of Central Piazza!
"Patriarch, urgent report!"
A Western Army cavalry came galloping over and opened the report. Long Yang's pupils couldn't help but shrink, and the hand holding the report was like hot red Luo Tie. This report is a notice issued by the Central and Biya Court two days ago that the special envoy of the Central and Biya Court sent to the Falcon Empire was attacked in the Falcon Empire, although the entire notice did not name the attacker. The identity of Yanzhou, but in the words and sentences, all pointed to a man behind the scenes, privately controlling the Southwest Dragon family in Yanzhou! In the announcement, it is directly said that traces of the Long Family Cavalry were found in the Falcon Empire. Although the Long Family is a strong one, it is only a regional power after all. The Chaotang is the orthodox.
Regardless of whether it’s true or not, under Taotao’s discussion, the Long Family will immediately change from a lofty status of defending the country to a family of crimes attempting to intercept and kill the imperial special envoy. This kind of rumors in the market is like cheating. All-eating moths are enough to destroy the reputation of the Long Family, which the children of the Long Family have won for decades, to be destroyed overnight! I have to admit that this despicable and effective approach is hitting the weakness of the Long family
The reason why the Long Family is the Long Family is because of the good reputation built by the children of the Long Family with blood over the decades. With this reputation, the Long Family can even ignore the orders of the Zhong Biya court, and this time , The other party obviously wanted to ruin the reputation of the Long Family, and finally came forward to clean the endgame easily. This method made Long Yang feel numb in his scalp.
At a critical moment, the court of Zhongbia suddenly stabbed a knife from the back! What did my Long Family offend you? You want to go to death like this! Is it a big mistake to stick to Yanzhou? Chaotang basically saw the Yelu family's army oppressive, and the Long family was in Yanzhou with too much care, even if it was spilled with sewage, it was temporarily unable to refute the embarrassment, and suddenly attacked!
While Longyang rearranged its defenses while using all the relationships on the other side, trying to stabilize the Central and Biya dynasty, a news that made Long Yang even more shocked came that the Long’s family attacked the Central Biya envoy. The reputation of the regiment was completely nailed to death. After rigorous investigations in the Falcon Empire, there was already conclusive evidence that the dragon cavalry appeared outside the Blue Valley on the night when the special envoy of China and Biyadh encountered the attack. Even after the incident, the Longjia cavalry was divided into several groups and pretended to be caravans and returned to Yanzhou from Onner Co. There is also a detailed record of the Long Wuyang cavalry officer who was captured alive by the border guards when he broke through the border. , There were three or four hundred Longjia cavalry captured together
In this case, it is said that the Falcon Empire emperor has been angered, and the Imperial Foreign Affairs Department also protested to the Long Family. If it weren't for the Long Family's actions, what did the Long Family Cavalry do outside the Blue Valley City on that day? Why do these dragon cavalry have to hide and leave, why do they want to break through the border! The evidence is as strong as a mountain, what else does the Long Family have to say! Now the southwest of the Long Family’s base camp is in chaos. The Long Family is self-reliant and it’s one thing to ignore the court orders. It’s another thing to openly attack and kill the special envoy. Apart from the Long Family’s direct line, who dares to get involved in this kind of thing? The Central Court immediately sent a three-way investigator to the southwest, and everyone with a discerning eye could tell that the investigation made the visitors unkind. The five thousand army guards accompanying them were even more murderous along the road leading to the southwest. Press it,
For a time, the Dragon Family, who has been dominating the party for decades, is about to come, the main force of the army is trapped in Yanzhou, and the situation is critical. Even if you want to withdraw to the southwest, you can't do it. The total number of the Long Family Army left behind in the southwest base camp That is, thirty or forty thousand people, most of them are the Southwest Local Army. Regarding Longyang's practice of defending Yanzhou in the north with the lives of Southwesterners, only God knows how many people's hearts are floating in it.
In the rain curtain, the large group of prairie cavalry rushed through the muddy water on the ground, like a black dragon~IndoMTL.com~ poured straight into the valley ahead
After the Long Family lost the Qinglan Fort, they suddenly gave up the tactics of using the outer barriers of Yanzhou Shangjing to continuously consume the grassland army, and began to gather towards the last fortress. Just like the Fifth Banner, the troops were divided and resisted, and the final result was that Yelv Hongtai took the main advantage and pushed them all down like bulldozing!
In the drizzle, Yelv Hongtai's army crossed the river, without any intention of stopping to camp. Surrounded by the Yelv Blood Wolf Guards, Yelv Hongtai was thin and tired, but his eyes were sharp as electricity.
"Finally, here!" Yelu Hongtai took a breath. This road to the founding of the country was finally able to clearly see the end of the front. Because of excessive fatigue, he suddenly swayed while sitting on his horse. The Wei next to him hurriedly stretched out his hand to support "My lord, why not take a break first!"
"Resting? Are you kidding?" Yelu Hongtai opened his eyes, licked his chapped lips, and looked at the Yelu family iron cavalry rushing forward. Since the empire insisted that it was the hand of the Southwest Dragon family, it was It shows that the Yelu family can boldly attack. With such a clear expression, there is nothing else to hesitate about. Beside the turbid turbid current of the river, Yanzhou Shangjing is just upstream of this river! Winning is the day when Yelu's family becomes the royal court of Yelu! (To be continued.)
