The Han people have an old saying, "Heaven and Buddha take it, but they are to blame; When it doesn't work, it suffers. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Good!" Dari Achi made up his mind, "Huqitu, I order you to lead a team of 1,000 people and take the bazaar." "Dari Achi lost his former calm, and under the impact of victory, at the instigation of the tribal magnates, and under the temptation of interests, he became fanatical, and completely dragged the Tianfeng tribe into the abyss of hell.

"Whoa!" Huqitu is full of confidence.

************

On November 6, under the "defenselessness" of Youyi County, Hu Qitu, the commander of the Tianfeng tribe, led a large army and suddenly crossed the moat outside Youyi County and raided the bazaar.

The army drove away the merchants who traded in the bazaar, plundered the goods of the bazaar, and finally set a fire to burn the bazaar to the ground.

In the midst of the flames, the army marched away with a large amount of booty.

The bazaar outside Youyi County has long been an important place for nomadic tribes to trade, and various tribes, including the Tianyan tribe, have merchants stationed in the bazaar.

The actions of the Tianfeng tribe were like a hurricane, spreading throughout the grassland.

After the tribes got the news, there were those who were envious and those who were jealous. I regret it even more, regretting why I didn't think that I was taken first by the hateful Tianfeng tribe.

The victor was complacent, and when a large amount of iron ore and grain was successfully transported back to the tribe's base camp, the whole tribe was boiling, and a grand bonfire was held that night.

Even Dari Achi couldn't believe it, glad he didn't miss the opportunity.

According to statistics, the seized grain is enough to supply the tribe for more than half a year. The captured iron ore can be used to forge countless arrows, sabers, and iron armor.

The Tianfeng tribe has taken another big step towards dominating the grassland.

The next day, the afterglow of the revelry had not yet dissipated, and the envoys from Friendship County had arrived.

The envoy strongly condemned the plundering behavior of the Tianfeng tribe and demanded that the Tianfeng tribe return all the supplies and compensate 500 frog horses to compensate for the losses of Youyi County.

"Haha~~~Haha~~~" The messenger's message provoked the unbridled ridicule of the tribal nobles.

The messenger's face did not change, and he was calm.

Sitting on the top of the tent, Dari Achi shook his head amusedly, and said, "What if I say no? ”

"If your ministry refuses, the only way to meet is to fight each other."

"What a big breath, do you know who you're talking to?" Huqitu scolded that the success of the raid had greatly increased his prestige in the tribe, and he was regarded as a tribal hero.

The envoy's eyes froze, neither humble nor arrogant, turned his head to look at Huqitu, and said calmly: "This must be the general Huqitu who led the team to loot the bazaar, right?" My prince said that the first evil will be punished! ”

"You!" Hu Qitu was angry, and his blood surged, "What a big boldness, see that I don't kill you." As he spoke, he drew the scimitar from his waist, got up and walked towards the messenger, and saw that he was about to splatter five steps with blood.

"Wait!" Suddenly, Dari Achi stopped Hu Qitu and asked suspiciously, "What did you say, Junhou?" The small friendship county also dares to be called a marquis? ”

In the face of the aggressive Huqitu, the messenger was not afraid, his face did not change, as if he were nothing. Hearing Dari Achi's question, he turned his head and said: "Insulting the prince, there is no room for reconciliation, take your leave!" ”

"Stop!" Hu Qitu drank the messenger and said with a sneer: "Do you still want to leave?" ”

"What? You're going to kill me, a messenger? ”

"Shit, send me to hell!" Huqitu raised his scimitar and slashed it down.

"Stop!" Dari Achi drank in time and said in a deep voice: "The Han people have a saying that the two countries are at war, and they will not be killed. Don't let outsiders think that our steppe tribe is uneducated and let him go. ”

"Patriarch!" Hu Qitu was a little unwilling.

"I said, let him go!" Dari Achi was a little angry, and he found that Huqitu was a little carried away.

"Whoa!" Hu Qitu was so clever that he noticed the unhappiness in the patriarch's tone, and retreated.

Dari Achi looked at the messenger and said, "Go back and tell your so-called princes, don't bring shame on yourself. ”

The messenger shook his head amusedly, and walked out of the tent in silence.

As early as when the Military Intelligence Department made a detailed move, the Military Affairs Administration began to mobilize a large army and vigorously mobilize troops.

After two annexations, the population of the Tianfeng tribe exceeded 8,000. Based on the tradition of the nomadic tribes, the regular army of the tribe was expanded from one thousand troops to three thousand people.

In this battle, Ouyang Shuo did not mobilize the troops of the west camp and the east camp of the city. They are in full swing to suppress bandits, and they are temporarily requisitioned and transferred, which not only mobilizes the masses but also easily disrupts the deployment of the bandits.

The troops sent out for the expedition, including the 2nd Brigade of the 1st Division temporarily withdrawn to the base camp, the Praetorian Brigade being trained in the new barracks in the western suburbs, the Shanhai County Guard Brigade, the Xishui County Guard Brigade and the Youyi County Guard Brigade, a total of 12,500 people in five brigades, more than four times the number of the Tianfeng tribe army.

In addition to the Shanhai County Guard Brigade, the Xishui County Guard Brigade and the Friendship County Guard Brigade have just been formed for a month. After forming an army, it has no opportunity to participate in actual combat, and its combat effectiveness is weaker.

Ouyang Shuo mainly relied on the two ace brigades of the Praetorian Guard Brigade and the Second Brigade, both of which were already equipped with green worm horses, Mingguang armor and horse lances.

The Green Worm Horses of the Second Brigade of the First Division have been equipped with armor and have become heavy cavalry in the true sense. As for the Janissary Brigade, in order to maintain sufficient mobility, it took the initiative to abandon the horse armor.

The sudden military operation forced the training of the recruit camp in the western suburbs to be suspended.

In order to avoid suspicion, the ten members of the [Rattlesnake Mercenary Group] have been teleported back to Jianye, and will return to Shanhai County after the war is over to continue recruit training.

November 8, Gaia, Friendship County.

On the city wall, the flag of the lord of Shanhai County slowly rose, shining brightly under the sunlight. It was announced that the forces of Shanhai County had officially invaded the grassland, revealing their long-hidden minions.

Facing the rising sun, the officers and men of the five brigades lined up neatly, waiting for the review of the prince.

Ouyang Shuo, accompanied by Wang Feng, Lin Yi and other generals, ascended the high platform, inspected the troops, and published a document criticizing the suppression, accusing the Tianfeng tribe of ignoring the cooperative relationship between the two sides, brazenly attacking the Youyi County market and looting materials. Not only that, but also refused to make peace with the envoys, despised Shanhai County, and in order to defend the glory, there was only a war.

"Fight! War! War! Tens of thousands of soldiers roared and resolutely defended the glory of the territory. The military array exuded a monstrous momentum, with blood and fire, swept in, threatening to flood the grassland and turn it into a pool of blood.

Ouyang Shuo stood on the high platform, in the eye of the storm, giving orders and dominating everything. With such momentum and such a battle, even if Ouyang Shuo was reincarnated, he couldn't help but be enthusiastic. (To be continued.) )
