Chapter 391 Li Tianqi and Tianfeng Alliance (Part 2) (fourth)

Although the light cavalry came and went like the wind, the strong city has always been their nightmare.

During the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongolian cavalry swept through most of the world, and they were invincible all over the world.

But when facing the weak Southern Song Dynasty, they still smashed their heads in front of the other’s strong wall.

Why did Wu Sangui refuse to cross the Yangtze River for a long time during the Sanfan Rebellion in the Qing Dynasty when Wu Sangui had his advantage?

To the north of the Yangtze River, the terrain is open, which is very suitable for cavalry operations. To the south of the Yangtze River, the terrain is complex and large-scale cavalry is difficult to deploy. Therefore, few ancient nomads can beat the Yangtze River.

The shortcomings of the cavalry are as clear as their advantages. They are invincible in field battles, but they are limited by terrain conditions. The grass principle is the most natural home ground for the cavalry.

What they need is to gallop on the prairie recklessly, rather than trapped in a city, that will only slowly wear away their spirit and gradually return them to mediocrity.

The Eight Banners Cavalry of the Qing Dynasty is the best example.

In the Nurhachi period, the Eight Banners Cavalry of the Qing Dynasty was unstoppable. At that time, they had the reputation of being dissatisfied and invincible.

However, after entering the customs, this elite cavalry gradually became addicted to the drunkenness of gold. In the end, even 30% of the previous combat effectiveness was lost and became a veritable veteran soldier.

Li Tianqi doesn’t want Own’s subordinates to become like this. He wants them to become the bravest eagles on the grassland. He wants to surpass Genghis Khan and become the real Tian Khan, so he can’t let the city confine Own’s wings.

What can we do if we can’t enter the feudal era?

He has the best light cavalry under him. He is in the birthplace of the Golden Family. Genghis Khan can do it. Why can’t he?

After trying to understand all this, Li Tianqi decisively gave up building the city.

After giving up building the city, Li Tianqi devoted all his energy to the cause of unifying the prairie.

Because he felt that a person’s energy was limited, he called his own good buddies to accompany him to realize this ideal together.

Since Li Tianqi was very loyal and had the style of an ancient knight, a large group of like-minded players gathered around him soon.

In the end, the entire Skywind Alliance had nearly two hundred thousand aboriginal cavalry and one hundred thousand player cavalry.

With 300,000 iron knights, Li Tianqi has enough capital and confidence, and he has been waiting for the coming of the era of planetary hegemony.

After entering the era of planetary hegemony, Li Tianqi immediately began his plan to unify the prairie. Three hundred thousand iron horses roared out, setting off a bloody storm on the prairie.

It only took him more than three months to unify most of the Horqin region. If it were not for the sudden rise of the Eagle Hoof Empire, I am afraid that the entire prairie south of the Greater Khingan Mountains would have been surnamed Li.

Li Tianqi paid great attention to the sudden rise of the Eaglehoof Empire. He once sent a light cavalry to test the strength of the opponent, but in the end only two thousand cavalry returned less than five hundred.

After feeling the strong strength of the opponent, Li Tianqi immediately stopped the expansion and transferred the main force back to Horqin Oasis to prevent the orcs from raiding their own lair.

Just when Li Tianqi turned into a state of strategic defense, an incident occurred in the Liaohe Plain where the Allies of the Except Eagle Alliance were backstabbed, and then they were killed by the Eagleshoe Empire.

When the Alliance of Eliminating Eagles was going to die, Li Tianqi wanted to get in and enter the Liaohe Plain.

But when he said his own idea, it was strongly opposed by everyone.

Those of his brothers believed that although entering the Liaohe Plain at this time could pick up some great bargains, they would be held back by too many troops by the land there.

Moreover, their main force is cavalry, which is only suitable for field battles, not for defending the city. What they are good at is offensive, and defending the city will abolish their greatest expertise.

The most important thing is that after participating in a kick, they will be confronted back and forth. Neither the Eagle Empire nor the Eagle Hoof Empire can contend with them now, so instead of greed for immediate benefits, it is better to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.

The brothers’ suggestions were very big-picture view, so Li Tianqi resisted the urge to plug in and watched the excitement.

When he discovered that the Eagleshoe Empire and the Condor Empire had divided the lands of the Eagle Alliance and confronted each other, he knew that his own opportunity had come.

Taking advantage of the time when the two empires had no time for him to take care of, Li Tianqi once again initiated the plan to unify the prairie.

Wherever the Cavalry of the Skywind Alliance went, the grassland tribes either fled to the wind or chose to surrender. No one was their enemy.

Seeing that the Tianfeng Alliance was about to unify the entire prairie south of the Greater Xing’an Mountains, Li Tianqi and others made a very fatal mistake.

Because the entire Skywind Alliance is a purely human kingdom, and they have had many frictions with the neighboring Eaglehoof Empire, they instinctively believe that the orcs on the prairie have their spies in them.

Originally, they were very right to think so, Lin Xiao indeed sent many spies to infiltrate the prairie.

But their mistake was that they shouldn’t kill all the orcs on the prairie.

Li Tianqi and his brothers believe that the non-my race must have different hearts. Instead of leaving hidden dangers, it is better to just get it right once and for all.

So they wielded a butcher knife against the orcs on the prairie based on the principle that they would rather kill a hundred by mistake than miss one.

Facing the powerful Tianfeng Cavalry, the orcs suffered heavy losses. Many orcs either fled to the Great Khingan Mountains or fled into the territory of the Eagle Hoof Empire.

It stands to reason that the orcs on the prairie are not opponents of the Skywind Alliance at all, so this move they made is not a mistake.

But things are bad. They waste too much time on the slaughter of the orcs, which slows down their process of unifying the prairie.

And because of the border with the eagle hoof empire, their actions aroused the vigilance of the eagle hoof empire.

When a large number of orc refugees fled into the territory of the Eaglehoof Empire, their atrocities completely angered the orc army stationed on the border, and some radical orc generals even led their troops into the prairie to launch retaliation.

Ning Yuan’s atrocities have already made the orcs angry. Lin Xiao’s bandit plan further intensified domestic tensions. Li Tianqi’s indiscriminate massacre was intended to overwhelm the camel’s last straw and completely ignited this huge gunpowder keg.

The failure of the pocket array to block Ning Yuan’s army made the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Guard Corps feel very faceless. They were worried that they had no place to vent, so after Li Tianqi raised the butcher knife to the orc, they vented their anger on him.

Facing the pressure of the orc army, Li Tianqi had to relocate the Tianfeng cavalry scattered everywhere, ready to fight the orcs.

Considering that the mobility of the orc army is not as good as the Tianfeng Cavalry, Li Tianqi and others decided to take the tactics of lure the enemy into the deep.

But just when he was ready to fight a protracted war with the Eaglehoof Empire, an army of more than two hundred thousand orcs suddenly walked away overnight, causing Li Tianqi’s fist to hit the air directly.
