Volume Four, The Year of the Curtain, Chapter 36: The Blue Lake is Near
The wilderness where the Golden Horde Royal Court is located has a relatively good climate, fertile water and grass, and numerous cattle and sheep. They have thrived for thousands of years. The population has gradually become denser, forming more than 20 large tribes. There are nearly 100,000 elite cavalry directly under the Royal Court.
Very powerful.
Except for the Tang Dynasty, no country is the opponent of the Golden Horde. It is precisely because the Tang Dynasty forcefully suppressed the Golden Horde in the wasteland for hundreds of years that the countries in the Central Plains gradually forgot the existence of the Golden Horde.
So much so that the Southern Jin Dynasty even dared to boast that it was the second most powerful country in the world.
Even in the Tang Dynasty, the Imperial Court of the Golden Horde was a combination of support and support, and was not willing to go into full-scale war. When Princess Li Yu of the Tang Dynasty married into the wilderness, although the main purpose was to avoid the chaos caused by the imperial edict from the Qintian Prison, it was also
It proves from the side the importance of the Golden Tent in the eyes of the Tang people.
Ning Que has been dealing with the cavalry of the Golden Horde Royal Court and those horse thieves disguised as cavalry for many years. He is very aware of the strength of the barbarians in this wilderness - except for those extremely fierce and amazing cavalrymen supported by the royal court.
More than ten high priests all have cultivation levels that are close to or even reaching the realm of knowing fate.
So even though he knew that the Golden Horde did not believe in Haotian, and there was no legend of the invasion of the underworld, he still maintained a high level of vigilance when the black carriage walked on this wasteland.
In the battle with Ye Hongyu in the swamp, Ning Que was seriously injured and was slowly recovering. Sangsang used divine magic, and Haotian's divine power was depleted a lot. The cold aura in his body became more and more ready, and even...
Even the Dharma can hardly be suppressed. I cough very badly and my body becomes colder and colder.
He was very worried about Sangsang's body and those who were chasing Sangsang. Observing the traces and ruts, he confirmed that many practitioners of Buddhism and Taoism had already come to the wasteland.
Fortunately, for several days after leaving the swamp, the sky in the wilderness was covered with clouds, and the dark clouds that had been following Sangsang blended into it, making it difficult to distinguish them. And in the early spring in the wilderness, there were many birds flying in.
The black crows that flew from the mountains and from several counties in the north of the Tang Dynasty no longer looked so dazzling.
Ning Que tied up grass and vines and hung them densely around the carriage. He used some camouflage, melted limestone and water into mud, and painted the big black horse into a mess. With the gift of God, he hid his whereabouts and continued to sneak eastward.
One day, Sangsang sensed that a practitioner was chasing him more than ten miles away.
Ning Que saw that he could not hide in the vast plains ahead, so he drove the carriage to a nearby pile of rocks to the south. He continued to hide. If he was discovered, this could be considered a good ambush location.
The first ones to come to this wilderness were not the practitioners chasing Sangsang. They were more than a hundred prairie cavalry. Look at the soft armor those cavalry were wearing. A light chariot behind the team, Ning Que's expression
Wei Lin judged that this group of cavalry should be elites directly under the royal court, and the people on the light chariot were most likely priests.
After a while, three practitioners arrived on horseback, and met the elite cavalry directly under the Golden Tent in the wilderness to the north of the pile of rocks. The three practitioners were carrying Taoist swords. They should have come from the Taoist sect, but
I don’t know whether he is a priest from the Xiling Temple or a guest at a certain Taoist temple in the world.
Ning Que couldn't hear what they said, but looking at the postures and expressions of the three practitioners and the postures of the prairie cavalry lifting their reins, he knew that these three practitioners perfectly demonstrated the demeanor of practitioners towards ordinary people.
It is pride, indifference and contempt, and I can't help but remain silent, knowing that there will be a battle soon.
The barbarians in the wilderness have three royal courts. Among them, the right royal court believes in Buddhism and is not very aggressive. The left royal court faces the threat of the wilderness barbarians moving south, so it is forced to fight side by side with the allied forces of the Central Plains countries many times. Only the golden royal court
He is the strongest, and he never hesitates to show his hostility towards the people of the Central Plains.
If ordinary people would have some kind of natural awe for practitioners, these cavalrymen of the Golden Tent Court obviously did not. After hearing a whistle, dozens of cavalrymen kicked their horses' bellies fiercely, left the camp, and headed towards the three men like lightning.
A cultivator rushed to kill him, the boxwood hardwood bow in his hand already tense and ready to shoot.
The three Taoist practitioners practiced in the Central Plains Taoist temple all year round and were deeply respected and respected by the ordinary people. They never thought that ordinary people would dare to take action against them. They suddenly became furious. They squeezed the sword secret and the Taoist sword in the sheath behind them suddenly rose.
As the wind in the wilderness flew away fiercely, he stabbed down a knight in an instant.
Ning Que looked at the sword light and realized that these three practitioners were actually masters of the Dongxuan realm. One of them had even reached the peak of the Dongxuan realm. No wonder he still had such a tough attitude even in the wasteland.
Looking at the light chariot behind the cavalry team, he still didn't think that these three Taoist warriors could defeat this elite hundred cavalry team. You must know that this is the Royal Court of the Golden Tent, not the Central Plains where practitioners can be proud at will.
The dozens of cavalry who stayed on the spot first fired their arrows, and the arrows rained down on the three practitioners. One of the practitioners recalled his Dao sword and laid down a sword curtain in front of him, blocking most of the arrows.
But then, the cavalrymen pulled out their short spears from their saddles, shouted loudly, exerted their strength, and threw them again.
The weight of the short arrows far exceeds that of the feathered arrows. Dozens of short arrows burst through the air, and the momentum was quite astonishing.
The practitioner repeatedly pinched his sword and slashed in the air with the Taoist sword, but he could no longer cut down these short spears as easily as he could withstand the feather arrows before. The Taoist sword even trembled uneasily after being hit.
There were more than ten muffled sounds, and a hard short spear was inserted into the wasteland ground.
One of them was inserted into the belly of the horse that a practitioner was riding. The horse neighed miserably, jumped in pain, and immediately knocked the practitioner off.
The cavalry leader gave a sharp shout, and the dozens of cavalry who stayed on the spot also joined the charging team. The first few dozen cavalry who charged away were extremely fast and had already arrived in front of the three practitioners.
The expressions of the three Taoist warriors suddenly became stern, and their mental power came out quickly. For a moment, they only saw the light of the swords. Cavalrymen fell off their horses, or their horses neighed and fell. However, the power of the Taoist swords was limited after all, and sometimes they could only be used on the skin.
There was a small cut in the armor, and many cavalrymen were hiding in the horse's belly, making it difficult for flying swords to hit them.
The distance of tens of feet seemed extremely long, but to the cavalry of the Golden Tent, it was very short. In the time of a few breaths, more than a hundred cavalry rushed over like several waves, drowning the three practitioners in an instant.
There were only a few clean and sharp sword sounds heard, and blood flew everywhere. The Royal Court cavalry picked up their reins and dispersed. The three Taoist warriors in the center of the field fell to the ground and turned into corpses.
The Dongxuan peak expert was lying covered in blood among the new grass. He was holding something in each hand. His right hand was holding a means to save his life, and his left hand was holding a fireworks communication device. According to the agreement, if he saw
When Ning Que and Pluto's daughter arrived, they had to turn on the device and notify the main force.
However, whether it was a means of saving his life or a fireworks message, he had no time to open it, and was killed by these wolf-like royal cavalry. You can imagine how fast this all happened.
The royal cavalry cleaned the battlefield and then left quickly. Judging from the number of corpses carried on the horses, there were only about ten people who died under the flying swords of the three practitioners.
…
…
A chance encounter in the wilderness turned into a sudden battle. Three Dongxuan realm practitioners faced more than a hundred Royal Court cavalry, but they appeared to have no ability to resist and were killed cleanly.
The black carriage emerged from the rubble and turned south. Ning Que thought about the bloody battle that suddenly started and ended suddenly. After thinking in silence for a moment, Ning Que once again confirmed a point of view.
Non-martial arts practitioners, if they are not possessed by demons or have advanced to know their destiny, will never be a match for the army.
This conclusion is completely different from the impression of most ordinary people in the world, but it is true, because practitioners all have a weakness that cannot be solved, and that is their bodies.
The bodies of cultivators are as weak as those of ordinary people, and the same is true for those who advance to the realm of knowing fate. Whether it is feather arrows or scimitars, they can easily harvest their lives, not to mention the thousands of arrows fired when the two armies confront each other, or
They are those terrifying catapults and ballistae during siege warfare.
More importantly, practitioners use the energy of heaven and earth to control their natal flying swords. The killing range of flying swords is limited by the degree of telekinesis. Most flying swords cannot exceed the range of feather arrows.
Moreover, if a flying sword wants to break through all kinds of armor, it needs to be polished to be extremely sharp, but it must not be too thin to avoid damaging itself after breaking through the armor, so it is extremely difficult to cast.
This is exactly why ordinary practitioners dare not confront the country at all, but still serve the courts of various countries. This is also why in the traditional concept, a sword master must always have a warrior attendant beside him.
When Ning Que joined the army in Weicheng, he basically never met a practitioner, let alone fought with a practitioner. He only remembered the look on General Ma's face when he told stories about the battlefield after drinking too much.
General Ma's attitude was very contemptuous. He believed that practitioners were very strong alone, but of little use on the battlefield. Therefore, he was not surprised by the outcome of today's battle between practitioners and the army.
But the battle process surprised him - the royal priest in the light chariot never made a move, and the cavalry simply completed the battle, turning the three practitioners into corpses.
The elite cavalry of the Golden Horde Royal Court were indeed still so powerful, and even seemed more powerful than in previous years. He looked out the car window at the gradually becoming familiar scenery with a slightly heavy expression.
The heroic predecessor Jin Chanyu - Li Yu's man, Xiaoman's father - died young, which is not necessarily a good thing. His younger brother took over the position of Shanyu, and now it seems that Yu has as much possessions as his elder brother
of wisdom and talent, and rumors say that this person has more ambitions.
Ning Que was from the Tang Dynasty and was a soldier of the Tang Dynasty who had been stationed on the border for many years. Although he was fleeing with Sangsang at this time, he could not help but start to worry about the situation in the northern border of the Tang Dynasty.
Sangsang looked at the wilderness scenery outside the window, her face turned slightly red, and she said, "It looks familiar. Have we been here before?"
Ning Que glanced out the window and said, "I took you here once before. If you go further south, you will reach Subi Lake."
