The grass is withering, and the ice is rough.
Compared with the Danshui River in southern Xinjiang, all things are sprouting and spring is full at this time. The vast area outside the snow pass in Northern Xinjiang of Daqian is still plagued by cold wind. Looking at it, the reflection of ice on the frozen river water is removed, and everywhere is a vast expanse of white. Because there was a blizzard last night. At this time, the snow in any place is knee deep, and if it is in the snow nest, the snow will reach several feet deep.
At this time, more than 200 miles away from piaoyueguan, a barracks for several miles stands there. Thousands of people are piling up the snow outside the barracks, beating and tamping it to form a simple snow wall.
In the north and south directions outside the snow wall, two cavalry of about 1000 people are riding a large war beast about two meters high and four meters long. With the giant hooves of the war beast stepping on, the knee deep floating snow is immediately stepped on, and a path with a width of more than 1000 meters is gradually formed on the snow plain with the running of the war beast.
Among the twelve main armies of Daqian, each army has an elite cavalry with different numbers. Among them, the benlei Legion in southern Xinjiang and the Panshi Legion in Northern Xinjiang are the most special. It's not only that these two legions are specially set up to guard against xiyuanze and the tide of dead Caohai beasts, with the number of legions reaching 300000, It is also because these two legions have only two heavy cavalry armies with a total of 50000 people, namely, benlei heavy cavalry and Panshi heavy cavalry.
Different from the thunder running beast, the pan stone fighting beast is covered with long hair, extremely cold resistant, firm and steady in character, not afraid of arrows and rivers, so it is called pan stone, and the pan stone army is also named for it. In addition, the animals change their fur twice a year. In summer and autumn, the fur is yellowish brown, hollow and easy to dissipate heat. In winter and spring, the fur is goose white, which is easier to hide in the snow.
"It's very expensive to ride such a heavy horse. In this world, only Da Qian has the strength to produce such an army." In a forest far away from the camp, a couple of small cavalry with more than ten people are standing in the shadow of the forest, looking at the movement of the camp. The leader is a bright girl wearing a white fox fur and a white Cape. At this time, she is looking at the heavy stone riding in the snow enviously.
"Such a powerful army, but using it to guard the pass, the people of Daqian are too outrageous. If we use it to run across the grassland, I can't think of a way to deal with this heavy rider except for the migration of the clan." The girl behind half step of a strong man a face sob of say.
"Daqian is powerful, but the good thing is that although Daqian people are constantly striving for self-improvement, they are not warlike. They are used to farming in spring, planting in summer, harvesting in autumn and hiding in winter. They can't see the bitter and cold grassland. Otherwise, there is no place for us in the vast grassland." The girl sighed and looked at the camp in front of her. There was a trace of sadness in her eyes.
"Your Highness, we've seen it. It's time to go back." Another man, who was somewhat similar to the one who spoke before, also said. Although only a few thousand people built snow walls and opened roads around the camp. However, the quiet camp is like a giant animal lying on its back and resting. The invisible momentum makes the strong man feel like a big stone in his heart.
"Beershe and beerhan, I heard that Lu Chun, the Duke of the great Qianwei Kingdom, who once destroyed the Qingyang Empire and made the prairie people revere him as God, is here?" The girl asked, staring at the handsome flag in the middle of the camp.
"According to the previous reports of tanma and the herdsmen who moved from the north, this is true." Answered the older Berhan.
"When you were young, you grew up in Daqian and went to the county school of Daqian. You are very learned people in our grassland. Do you know what Lu Chun's intention is to sweep the southern grassland since he left the pass, but only to force the southern grassland tribes to move northward without raising a butcher's knife?" The girl asked again.
"It's said that the scholar of the state of great Qianwei had long expected that there would be a blizzard at the meeting of winter and spring this year, so he drove the tribes in the south to the depths of the grassland and consumed our winter reserves. With the increasing number of tribes moving to the royal court, our previous reserves may not be able to last until the grass sprouts. At that time, there may be riots in the royal court for a bite of food. " Said Belcher, somewhat uncertain.
"It's worthy of being a famous commander of Da Qian. We Raymond's warriors can't think of a way to kill people without a knife. I want to see this famous commander more and more." Different from the fear and fear on the face of beherhan and beheshe brothers, a trace of admiration and admiration flashed in the girl's eyes. Compared with Daqian, the Three Kingdoms in Northern Xinjiang were more like savages just herding and fighting.
"No, your highness." When beherhan and behrshe looked frightened and wanted to dissuade them, two clear Eagles resounded through the sky.
"It's ray hawk." Looking at the two Lei hawks with a wingspan of nearly ten feet falling into the barracks, a trace of envy flashed in the girl's eyes.
After the fall of Qingyang, the rest of the tribe moved to Cuiling and alhan plateau to establish the northern and southern Qingyang, CHIDI, leran and Baidan were respected in the vast grassland of the north. Although the three nationalities were once vassals of the Qingyang Empire, their customs were different. The white wolf is the totem of Baiyang people, who are closest to Qingyang people. However, the white wolf is not Qingyang's Snow Mountain Giant Wolf, but the cold wolf in the ice field. Leran people live in the golden grassland along the northern coast, so they take the golden wolf as their flag. The CHIDI people are known as hawks in the air. Only those who domesticate hawks can be called CHIDI warriors.
Therefore, every CHIDI people has a unique feeling for the large birds of prey in the sky, but although there are many animals in the grassland, the winter is long, and few birds of prey can grow to this size. Looking at the huge thunderhawk hovering and landing, the girl and the knight behind her all showed the expression of envy, hoping to take such a supernatural Raptor as their own.
"That's the letter Eagle used by Emperor Daqian. Such a powerful bird of prey can't fly freely over the grassland. It can only travel for the purpose of transmitting messages. Daqian is really a luxury." There was a strange light in the girl's eyes. She didn't know what she was thinking when she looked at the big tent where the letter Eagle disappeared.
At this time, the metal tube of Xinying's letter has been handed over to Shuai Zhang's Lu Chun. He turns on the cold tube and takes out two pieces of silk with different characters. Looking at the words on it, Lu Chun knows that the two pieces of silk were made by the emperor and his wife Yu Chuqing. However, when he carefully looked at the contents of the silk, his face was filled with joy and a sense of relief. Although he knew that his son Lu que would win for a long time, but the battle of zhennanguan and Danshui ended the tide of animals, which was beyond Lu Chun's expectation. For a moment, he also felt a sense of pride in his successors.
