The light cavalry came and went like the wind, but the fortified city was always their nightmare.

During the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongolian cavalry swept through most of the world, and it can be said that it was invincible all over the world.

But in the face of the weak Southern Song Dynasty, they still hit their heads in front of each other's strong city walls.

In the rebellion of the three feudatories of the Qing Dynasty, why did Wu Sangui refuse to cross the Yangtze River when he had the advantage at the beginning, was it not because he was afraid of the Eight Banners cavalry of the Qing Dynasty?

In the north of the Yangtze River, the terrain is open, which is very suitable for cavalry combat, and in the south of the Yangtze River, the terrain is complex, and it is difficult for large-scale cavalry to deploy, so few ancient nomads can fight the Yangtze River.

The shortcomings of the cavalry are as obvious as their advantages, they are invincible in the field, but they are limited by the terrain conditions, and the prairie is the most natural home field for the cavalry.

What they need is to gallop on the prairie without being trapped in a city, which will only slowly wear away their sharpness and gradually return them to mediocrity.

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

During the Nurhachi period, the Eight Banners cavalry of the Qing Dynasty could be said to be unstoppable, and at that time it had the reputation that the Eight Banners cavalry was less than 10,000 and invincible.

However, after entering the customs, this elite cavalry gradually indulged in drunkenness, and in the end, it even lost its previous combat effectiveness and became a veritable veteran soldier.

Li Tianqi didn't want his subordinates to become like this, he wanted them to become the bravest eagles on the steppe, he wanted to surpass Genghis Khan and become the real Heavenly Khan, so he couldn't let the city imprison his wings.

What can you do if you can't enter the feudal era?

He has the best light cavalry under his command, he is in the birthplace of the Golden Family, Genghis Khan can do it, why can't he?

After thinking about all this, Li Tianqi decisively gave up building the city.

After giving up the construction of 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 all his good buddies over and accompanied him to realize this ideal.

Because Li Tianqi is very righteous and has the style of an ancient knight, a large group of like-minded players soon gathered around him.

By the end, the entire Skywind Alliance had nearly 200,000 aboriginal cavalry and 100,000 player cavalry.

The 300,000 Iron Horsemen gave Li Tianqi enough capital and confidence, and he has been waiting for the advent of the era of Star Battle.

After entering the era of Star War, Li Tianqi immediately began the plan to unify the prairie, and 300,000 iron horsemen roared out, setting off a bloody storm on the prairie.

In just over three months, he unified most of the Horqin region, and if it weren't for the sudden rise of the Eagle Hoof Empire, I'm afraid that the entire prairie south of the Great Khing'an Mountains would have to be surnamed Li.

For the sudden rise of the Eagle Hoof Empire, Li Tianqi attached great importance to it. He once sent a group of light cavalry to test the strength of the opponent, but in the end the 2,000 cavalry only returned with less than 500 men.

After feeling the strong strength of the other party, Li Tianqi immediately stopped the expansion operation and transferred the main army back to the Horqin Oasis to prevent the orcs from raiding his lair.

Just when Li Tianqi was in a strategic defensive state, there was an incident on the Liaohe Plain in which the Eagle Alliance backstabbed an ally, and then was backstabbed to death by the Eagle Hoof Empire.

When the Eagle Removal Alliance was dying, Li Tianqi originally wanted to take a step in and enter the Liaohe Plain.

However, when he spoke his mind, he was strongly opposed by everyone.

His brothers believed that although they could pick up some big advantages by entering the Liaohe Plain at this time, they would be held back by too many troops by the land there.

And their main force is cavalry, only suitable for field battles, not suitable for defending cities, what they are good at is attacking, and defending the city will abolish their greatest specialty.

The most important thing is that after they get involved, they will be attacked on their backs, whether it is the Condor Empire or the Eagle Hoof Empire, it is not something they can compete with now, so instead of coveting the immediate benefits, it is better to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

The brothers' suggestions were very big-picture, so Li Tianqi resisted the urge to intervene and watched the excitement on the sidelines.

When he found out that the Hawkhoof Empire and the Condor Empire had carved up the land of the Eagle Removal Alliance and confronted each other, he knew that his chance had come.

Taking advantage of the fact that the two empires had no time to take care of others, Li Tianqi once again launched a plan to unify the prairie.

Wherever the cavalry of the Heavenly Wind Alliance went, those grassland tribes either fled in despair or chose to surrender, and no one was their enemy.

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

Because the entire Heavenly Wind Alliance is a pure human country, and they have had many frictions with the neighboring Eaglehoof Empire, they instinctively think that the orcs on the prairie have the other party's spies.

Originally, they were very correct in thinking so, Lin Xiao did send a lot of spies to infiltrate the prairie.

But they were wrong not to kill all the orcs on the prairie.

Li Tianqi and his brothers think that their hearts will be different if they are not of our race, and it is better to leave hidden dangers than to directly solve them once and for all.

So in line with the principle that they would rather kill a hundred by mistake than let one go, they waved their butcher knives at the orcs on the prairie.

In the face of the powerful Tianfeng cavalry, the orcs suffered heavy losses, and many orcs either fled to the Great Khing'an Mountains or fled into the territory of the Eagle's Hoof Empire.

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

But the bad thing is that they have wasted too much time on slaughtering the orcs, thus slowing down their progress in dominating the savannah.

And because they border the Eaglehoof Empire, their actions have caused alarm in the Eaglehoof Empire.

When a large number of orc refugees fled into the territory of the Hawkhoof Empire, their atrocities completely angered the orc legions stationed on the border, and some radical orc generals even led their troops into the savannah to retaliate.

Ning Yuan's atrocities had already angered the orcs, Lin Xiao's bandit plan had further heightened tensions in the country, and Li Tianqi's indiscriminate massacre had completely ignited this huge powder keg in order to break the camel's last straw.

The failure of the pocket array to block Ning Yuan's army made the officers and soldiers of the Wangcheng Praetorian Guard Legion feel very faceless, and they were worried that there was no place to vent, so after Li Tianqi raised the butcher's knife against the orc, they vented their anger on him.

Facing the pressure of the orc legion's army, Li Tianqi had to transfer back the Tianfeng cavalry scattered everywhere, preparing to fight the orcs.

Considering that the mobility of the orc legion was not as good as that of the Tianfeng cavalry, Li Tianqi and the others decided to adopt the tactic of luring the enemy into the depths, first leading the enemy into the prairie, and then using the Tianfeng cavalry with ultra-high mobility to drag the enemy down.

However, just when he was ready to fight a protracted battle with the Eagle Hoof Empire, the army of more than 200,000 orcs suddenly walked away overnight, causing Li Tianqi's fist to hit the air directly.
