It was a dark and windy night.
The sky was sparsely starry, as if covered by a dark curtain.
The autumn wind is bleak and there is a hint of chill.
This place is the ancestral land of the Liao Kingdom, Longcheng!
The ancestors of the Liao people started their war with thirteen sets of armor.
At first, it was weak and could only barely survive.
The Liao kings of all generations worked hard to govern the country.
Finally, the Liao Kingdom developed.
Longcheng is the ancestral land for worshipping successive Liao kings!
It happened that the Zhulin Conference was taking place, and Longcheng's defense was left unattended.
It was mainly replaced by the nobles' personal guards.
"Huh...it's really cold today."
"Xi Nilie, come and have a couple of sips of kumis."
"We still have to keep watch."
"It's worth nothing." The young man said nonchalantly, holding up the animal hide bag high and drinking kumis. "Don't you think about what kind of place our Dragon City is? Eat and drink when you need to. If the enemy can break into Dragon City silently, then our Liao Kingdom will be completely finished."
"That's true."
The middle-aged man Xi Nilie nodded.
As a result, I took a big gulp of kumis.
There is nothing wrong with this.
Longcheng is the ancestral land of the Liao Dynasty.
The place most respected by all Liao people.
It is located behind the Xubu clan and connected to the royal court.
If you want to attack Longcheng, you have to go through Xubu first.
The Xubu clan was the largest clan in the Liao Kingdom!
They continued to intermarry with the Liao royal family.
Many of them were core leaders of the Liao Dynasty.
So, what are they worried about?
"Come, have some fat lamb!"
"This is baked by Fengren."
"Try it, it tastes quite delicious."
"oh?"
Xi Nilie chewed it in big mouthfuls.
His beard was covered in grease from eating.
"Well, these servants are really good cooks."
"Hehe..." The young man clenched his fists and smirked sinisterly, "The women of Fengren are even better. They value chastity more, and listening to their screams and howls is simply wonderful. This time we're finally going to war with Dafeng. If we can break through Yanmen Pass, we can compete for the Central Plains. By then, I'll definitely grab more Feng women. If I want to buy a Feng woman as a slave now, I'll need at least three good horses!"
“You…”
Xi Nilie shook his head helplessly.
Looking ahead.
He wasn't very hopeful about it.
Dafeng is not a vegetarian!
Stronger than any enemy they had encountered before!
It would be good if they could hold on to Shuofang.
"Don't be careless."
"I heard from Lord Liang that Dafeng has a new King of Ning."
"He's not easy to deal with..."
"What are you afraid of?" The young man waved his hand nonchalantly and said calmly, "No matter how powerful he is, what use can he be on the battlefield? We in the Liao Dynasty are risking everything. I don't believe they can win."
Xi Nilie smiled helplessly.
With the war imminent, he couldn't say much.
He had once witnessed the style of the old King Ning.
None of the Ning kings in history were easy to deal with.
Prince Ning does not believe in the system of primogeniture.
It’s important that the position be occupied by the capable!
The one who can inherit the throne of King Ning must be the most outstanding!
Adding Liang Yili's comments...
This is enough to prove that the new King Ning is no ordinary person!
Listening to the sound of horse hooves in the distance, Xi Nilie frowned.
"What's going on?"
"Don't worry, I'm used to it." The young man waved his hand nonchalantly and explained, "It's the Linlin Conference right now, and all the tribes are very busy. The day before yesterday, the Linhu arrived at night, hundreds of them charging, it was a real noise."
"So that's how it is..."
Xi Nilie didn't take it to heart at first.
Yawning, he prepared to look around again.
But before he took two steps, he realized something was wrong.
The sound is getting closer.
Heading straight to Dragon City? !
And the sound of horse hooves is also a little different.
I can hear strange copper and iron sounds!
Like a piece of iron hitting gravel!
This is... a horseshoe?!
Xi Nilie's expression suddenly changed drastically!
What replaced it was fear!
He also had some dealings with the Dafeng cavalry.
They started changing their clothes starting from the year before last.
All cavalry are equipped with three artifacts.
Stirrups, saddles and horseshoes!
Horseshoes can effectively reduce hoof wear.
Stirrups combined with a saddle can free your hands.
Of course, the Liao Dynasty also imitated it.
But its productivity is far less than that of Dafeng.
At present, there are only more than 3,000 cavalry equipped.
Moreover, it did not have that much effect on the Liao people.
They all grew up on horseback.
He learned horse riding and archery since he was young.
Their cavalry was already extremely good.
Even with stirrups and a saddle, I felt a little uncomfortable.
However, Dafeng was able to use this opportunity to narrow the distance.
He was so familiar with the sound of horse hooves!
It's a horseshoe!
"Go!"
"The Dafeng cavalry is here!"
Xi Nilie had just finished speaking and was about to sound the alarm when a sharp arrow streaked across the night sky, piercing his chest with uncanny precision. He opened his mouth, but no words came out. He staggered forward, but couldn't hold on any longer and finally stumbled and fell.
In his final moments, he only managed to glance back. As long as the young man was still alive, there was still hope for them!
Unfortunately, I didn’t get to see this scene.
The young man also fell in a pool of blood.
He looked painful, with many sharp arrows stuck in his back.
It's obviously cold...
Dafeng is really here!!!
He slowly closed his eyes.
I heard the sound of horse hooves getting closer!
I seemed to vaguely hear Fengren's low growl.
"Everyone listen up!"
"Head straight to the Dragon City Ancestral Temple!"
"Kill the common people and arrest the nobles!"
