Chapter 141: The Crisis of the Two Tribes
The difficult tribe that Tie Ye San mentioned was the Tucker tribe seven hundred miles north of the Tie Ye tribe.
It is also a large tribe, with more than 30,000 people in the entire tribe.
Around this tribe, there are also small and medium-sized tribes attached to him.
With the rapid expansion in the past few months, the total population of the Iron Leaf Tribe now is more than 30,000 people.
But after all, the expansion is too fast, and the foundation is not very stable.
Moreover, under such rapid expansion, the total population of the Tieye tribe increased, but seventy percent of this increase was taken from the exterminated tribes.
Therefore, the current population of 30,000 people of the Iron Leaf tribe is very different from other tribes in terms of population structure.
Other tribes with a population of 30,000 can basically pull out an army of 10,000 people, and if you are ruthless, let all the men over the age of fifteen participate in the battle, and those sturdy women will also be pulled in, and form an army of 15,000 people, there will be no problem.
And the current Iron Leaf Tribe, excluding those old and weak women and children, the total number of men over fifteen years old and under fifty years old is only 5,000.
Of the annexed tribes, there are basically not many adult men left, and few of the remaining people will enter the Iron Leaf Tribe, and after escaping, they will join other tribes or wander in the grasslands.
The Iron Leaf Tribe, with a population of 30,000, can now form an army similar to those tribes with a population of 10,000.
After listening to Tie Ye San's words, Zhao Hui personally took Dian Wei and a thousand cavalry, mixed with Tie Ye San's five thousand tribal warriors, and ran north together.
In Dahan, 700 miles is already a long way away.
The army will be dispatched, and it will take more than ten days to dispatch as soon as possible.
But in the steppe, on a war horse, 700 miles is only two days at most.
If you are not afraid to exhaust the war horse to death, you can reach it in one day.
Zhao Hui and they went to fight, and with the energy to ensure that the war horses and people were sufficient, they spent two days near the Tucker tribe.
Within two hundred miles of the Tak tribe, there are six small and medium-sized tribes, all of whom are dependent on the Tak tribe and have to sacrifice cattle and sheep to the Tak tribe every month.
The Tucker tribe will shelter them from being bullied by other tribes. At the same time, when the Tucker tribe needed it, when they recruited warriors from these small and medium-sized tribes, these tribes could not refuse.
Tie Ye San had already prepared, and took Zhao Hui to bypass the six surrounding tribes, and six thousand people appeared hundreds of miles away from the Tak tribe.
At this time, the leader of the Tucker tribe, Tatam, was talking to the leaders of the six tribes attached to him about the soldiers to send troops.
Iron Leaf Three has his sights on the Tucker tribe.
It is impossible for the Tucker tribe to be unaware of the rapidly expanding Iron Leaf tribe around them, revealing their deep cold fangs.
The two tribes are only seven hundred miles apart, and the two will eventually have a collision to see whose fist is harder.
Unless the Iron Leaf Tribe is not expanding.
But who would have believed that the Iron Leaf Tribe, which had already exposed its fangs, would still retract its fangs.
Originally, Tie Ye San didn't want to attack the Tucker tribe so quickly, after all, the strength of the Tieye tribe was still weaker than the Tucker tribe.
But two days ago, Tie Yesan was near his tribe and found people from the Tucker tribe.
Where can Tie Yesan still sit still, in line with the idea of making the first move, he immediately went to see Zhao Hui.
Regardless of what Tatam thought, the appearance of his people near the Iron Leaf Tribe gave Iron Leaf San a huge sense of crisis.
Tatam sent people to the Iron Leaf Tribe to investigate, also because he had a sense of crisis in his heart. Sit back and let the Iron Leaf Tribe continue to expand, which will pose a threat to the Tucker tribe in the future.
When the men sent returned, Tatam summoned all the tribal chiefs who were attached to him.
This threat, of course, is eliminated as soon as possible.
In this area, there are more than 30,000 tribes, and only one is enough.
"I will send troops to fight against the Iron Leaf tribe, and the four of you tribes will each send five hundred cavalry. Each of your two families shall send a thousand cavalry. Tatam said to the patriarchs of the other six tribes.
Four small tribes, two medium-sized tribes, and the number of Tatam points are all they can produce.
It's just that it's easy to send five hundred or a thousand cavalry, but after fighting the Iron Leaf Tribe, how many people can come back.
The Iron Leaf Tribe is now known for its fierceness, and few tribes are willing to provoke it.
Tatamu said: "You have to think clearly, now the Iron Leaf Tribe has not yet become a climate, and after a while, it will not be enough to be such a few people." ”
"What the Tucker chief said is that I will pick the strongest five hundred warriors as soon as I go back, and let them come tomorrow."
Although they are worried that the warriors of their tribe will never return, if they dare not send troops, Tatam will be able to lead their men and horses tomorrow and bring their tribe to a level.
Tatam was right, and the number of people they wanted was within their acceptable range.
Several other people also spoke, promising that they would let the warriors of their tribe report to the Tucker tribe tomorrow.
"Don't worry, after defeating the Iron Leaf Tribe, you will have a share of all the gains at that time." Tatam said.
The six tribal patriarchs all had smiles on their faces, the Iron Leaf Tribe is now a big tribe, and as long as they share it casually, it will be a good income for them at that time.
The six patriarchs, with illusions, left.
No one noticed that just a hundred miles east of the Tucker tribe, six thousand cavalry were resting and recuperating.
To avoid being discovered by Tucker's people, Zhao Hui and the others deliberately made a detour to the east.
Today's weather is very good, and the evening will also be a moonlit night. Perfect for night fights.
The red sun slowly sank below the horizon, and the beautiful sunset, but the six thousand soldiers were lying on the grass and sleeping soundly.
No one cares whether the golden grassland is good or not, and the activities at night are the ones who stimulate their inner wildness.
Finally, half of the crescent moon rose in the night.
Six thousand soldiers, in good spirits, turned over and mounted their horses and marched towards the Tucker tribe.
Six thousand horses, the sound of horses' hooves in the dark night, made a deafening sound.
Even dozens of miles away, you can feel the movement of the war horse running.
It is impossible to keep the Tucker tribe sleeping in the tent all the time.
Zhao Hui and the others were still dozens of miles away, and the people of the Tucker tribe had already sensed the shaking of the earth.
"What's the situation?"
The people of the Tucker tribe woke up from their dreams one after another.
Some people put their ears to the ground and quickly understood.
"It was the sound of horses' hooves, thousands of horses, almost thirty miles."
"The enemy attacks, everyone get on their horses and kill the enemy with me." Tatam had already taken up arms and rode on horseback.
If it is a Han army, it must be put on armor at this time and rely on various fortifications to resist.
But they were steppe tribes, and the tribes gathered without walls at all, but with some fences on the outermost periphery.
Such a defense could not stop the onslaught of the cavalry at all.
And all of them are on horseback, and only by riding a war horse can they have the ability to fight back.
