20demayo Chapter 189
Chapter 189
Huer tribe, a small tribe of barbarians, has only a few hundred thousand people. Even if all the people are soldiers, there are only 200,000 people.
And there are only 50,000 people who have received training and can become regular soldiers. This number of people is the weakest among the barbarians in the entire grassland.
It’s just that the tribes in the grassland have strong support behind them. The small tribes that have not surrendered to the powerful tribes have disappeared long ago. This is also the survival rule of the barbarians on the grassland.
Therefore, although there are many tribes in the grassland, wars will not break out at any time and place. Everyone should also consider whether the people behind them are worthy of their own provocation.
This is the so-called balance, which cannot be easily destroyed.
Today, the chief of Huer tribe was a little sad and drank alone.
This is because they are unlucky this year and encountered influenza, and the tribe suffered heavy losses.
The main food of the barbarians is cattle, sheep, and horses. It’s okay at ordinary times, but they are afraid of natural disasters, especially plagues.
Once the disease occurs, it is a group of deaths, and there is no way to stop it.
This is the situation that happened to the Huer tribe this year. They suffered heavy losses and had to exchange some cattle and sheep for food. This led to a lack of more livestock and food next year.
For the barbarians, food is the foundation of everything.
The strength of the tribes around the Huer tribe is not weaker than theirs. It is impossible to rob them. It is also impossible to go to Liang or Xia to beg for money. Without coordination and organization, the barbarian tribes on the road will not let them go.
No one cares about the life and death of a small tribe. The Huer tribe can only solve its own problems, but he has no way to solve this problem.
As the spring approaches, the number of livestock cubs is insufficient, and the dilemma will soon break out.
"Chief, it's bad, someone is attacking us."
Just when Huer was drinking, he got unexpected news.
"Attack us, who is attacking us?"
Under the influence of alcohol, Huer didn't believe it at all. The surrounding tribes had to accept the command from above. If there was no chaos above, it would be impossible for the people below to fight.
"Chief, it's not clear who is attacking us. The other side is not a tribe near us."
Like the Xia Kingdom, the Barbarians have their own flags in each tribe, which is also an important symbol to distinguish between the Barbarian forces.
"Don't worry about who it is. Organize the army to resist immediately and send people to ask for help."
Suddenly, he woke up. It was useless to worry about who the enemy was at this moment. Everything had to wait until the opponent's offensive was blocked.
Outside, the war had already begun.
The reason why Long Tian thought that the Barbarians were the best warriors was that they had no racial concepts, no good and evil, and only knew to obey orders. No matter who the opponent was, they would be merciless.
At this moment, the 100,000 Barbarians brought by Huo Qubing were killing happily.
Since following Long Tian, the good days of these Barbarians have begun. They no longer have to worry about food and drink. There are also the skills provided by Long Tian, which not only increase their cultivation, but also make them more skilled in cooperation with each other.
In this way, the overall combat effectiveness of the Barbarian army has increased dramatically.
After months of training, today is the time for testing. Therefore, when these people started fighting, they were more active than one.
This was not only the effect of the technique, but also because they did not want to lose this hard-won opportunity.
On the other hand, the people of the Huer tribe were in a completely different situation.
Chaos, chaos everywhere.
Some small troops rushed forward to resist the enemy's attack, and some small troops retreated, trying to gather more people to resist together.
There were also ordinary barbarians who relied on their own military force to fight against countless armies. The result of trying to stop a car with a mantis arm was naturally death on the spot.
How could the chaos and disorder resist the barbarian cavalry that had undergone transformation?
"General, someone ran away from the back, probably to find reinforcements."
At this time, Huo Qubing received intelligence.
"Don't worry about them, let them find it, we will increase the intensity of the attack and eliminate all resistance."
"Pass on this general's order, as long as the surrender is not difficult, we are soldiers, not executioners, do not attack those who give up resistance, those who disobey the order will be killed without mercy."
Huo Qubing looked at the ruthless barbarian army and couldn't help but give orders.
In Huo Qubing's view, these people will be the reserve force of the northern border, and they can't be killed. If so, the meaning of the war will be lost.
What Long Tian wants is to expand the territory and military strength, as well as the overall development in the future. He doesn't hate the barbarians and come here to kill them.
The barbarians are also human beings. Although they are a little barbaric, they are also afraid of death.
After Huo Qubing's people began to show mercy, suddenly the people of the tribeNot stupid, they quickly surrendered and retreated.
In the barbarians, surrender is not such a shameful thing.
Soon, more and more barbarians from the Huer tribe were controlled by Huo Qubing's army. Finally, the people of the Huer tribe completely gave up resistance and were all detained.
"Are you not a barbarian?"
Originally, he still had a fluke mentality, hoping that someone from above could rescue his Huer tribe leader, and did not fight to the death, but he didn't expect that he just saw the enemy's commander and found that this person was not a barbarian.
This is a big deal. Why can a foreigner command a hundred thousand barbarian troops, and why does he appear here.
Hu was puzzled, but no matter what, he discovered the secret here, which was probably not a good thing.
"It doesn't matter who I am. Now I give you two choices."
"Are you willing to lead the whole tribe to join me, or do you want to die?"
Huo Qubing gave a choice directly. It was useless to say more. This person was indeed useful, but if he didn't know what was good, it was not impossible to kill him.
"I am willing to surrender. Everything is up to the general."
Suddenly, there was no hesitation.
This guy saw it clearly. If he dared to say no at this time, he would be killed the next moment. He had no doubt about this.
Surrendering would only mean losing the current status. For him, the current position of the tribe leader is not a good position. Facing the difficulties of the tribe, he can't solve them at all. It is better to surrender and let the other party handle the trouble.
"It's quite wise."
"Gather your tribe's army immediately and incorporate all the adult men of the right age into the army."
"The old, young, women and children in the tribe will be arranged by the general. Go and do it now."
Huo Qubing has a plan. The main purpose of this mission is to expand the army.
Winter operations still have certain advantages for Huo Qubing. The barbarians will not expect someone to launch an attack at this time.
Before the barbarians react, Huo Qubing will use the 100,000 people in his hands to expand the barbarian army to more than one million, and it will be an elite-level legion.
This is a great achievement. Not only that, it is also very helpful for Long Tian’s next plan.
