Chapter 15
Leaving behind three thousand men to watch over the captives, Ye Zhan did not stay here for long. He took the remaining troops and left the barbarian stronghold and rushed towards another stronghold.
The barbarian tribe has two strongholds and many vassals.
Therefore, the Night Tribe must act quickly and strike before the barbarians are ready, and defeat them in one fell swoop.
Otherwise, by the time the barbarians are ready, even if the warriors of the Night Tribe can really win, the losses will not be small, which is not in line with the goal of the Night Tribe.
The Night Tribe not only wants the extraordinary resources and mineral veins here, but also the barbarian warriors here.
However, this is not a wise choice.
For the current Night Tribe, the sudden increase of 300,000 people will bring a huge burden, especially since these people are savage and brutal barbarians, which will instantly turn the Night Tribe into an inflated balloon.
Although the Ye tribe has a large population now, most of them are newly joined. Most of them stay here because of the power of the gods and the good conditions of the Ye tribe. There are very few who truly recognize the Ye tribe.
Once a disturbance occurs, the entire Night Tribe will explode in an instant.
After all, the time is too short.
It has not been a month since the Ye Tribe unified Honghe. It is too difficult to get them to recognize the Ye Tribe in such a short time.
If the time could be longer, not too long, just a year or two would be enough, Su Xingyu was confident that he could make them truly recognize the Ye Tribe.
It's a pity that there is no if
Su Xingyu did not want to go to war with the barbarians so soon, because as time went on, the strength of the Ye Tribe would become stronger, and the barbarians would no longer have any potential for growth. The longer the time went, the easier it would be for the Ye Tribe to deal with them.
However, the prerequisite for this is that the Barbarians and the Night Tribe fight one-on-one.
However, this is impossible. Under extreme conditions, the barbarian headquarters can mobilize 60,000 to 70,000 warriors, but if those vassals are included, the number will definitely exceed 100,000.
Once the barbarian tribe becomes aware of the existence of the Night Tribe, based on Su Xingyu's understanding of them, they will absolutely disregard everything and mobilize all their troops to fight against the Night Tribe.
Su Xingyu didn't think that the Ye Tribe would lose, but waging a war of such a large scale would definitely slow down the development of the Ye Tribe.
Therefore, after knowing that the barbarians had sent people over, Su Xingyu did not hesitate and immediately sent all the cavalry over, preparing to directly annex the barbarian tribe.
As for whether it can be done?
Su Xingyu felt that it could be done.
The two strongholds are only a few dozen miles apart, very close.
The cavalry led by Ye Zhan had only run halfway when they encountered a large barbarian army. These were undoubtedly barbarian warriors from another stronghold.
"Akri is that loser. He can't even hold on for a moment with more than 30,000 barbarian warriors." Looking at the cavalry in black armor in front of him, a strong barbarian man's face became extremely ugly and he couldn't help cursing out loud.
His name is Hudson. He is the ruler of another barbarian stronghold and the nominal leader of the entire barbarian tribe.
Hudson didn't believe it at first when he received the news that the stronghold was attacked. They should be grateful that their barbarian tribe did not cause trouble for other tribes. How could they dare to cause trouble for them!
However, after more and more barbarian warriors fled, he had no choice but to believe it.
With heavy doubts, Hudson brought almost all the barbarian warriors here, and encountered more and more barbarian deserters along the way.
This forced Hudson to believe that a tribe had really attacked them, and that the barbarian tribe seemed to be at a disadvantage.
However, Hudson could not have imagined that Acre had lost before he arrived.
"I want to see how powerful the barbarians that roam the Black Soil Plains are!"
Ye Zhan's body was once again covered in scarlet blood. He roared and charged forward on his horse, "Follow me!"
This is the way to lead troops in a night battle. You must use yourself as the vanguard and either defeat the enemy or die on the way to the charge.
"kill!"
"Kill them!"
"Dedicate the victory to my God!"
Following the roars, the Night Tribe warriors behind him also followed.
"You are overestimating your own capabilities." Hudson sneered, and then he also rushed forward on his horse, "Follow me, let them see our power to suppress the Black Soil Plain."
The barbarian warriors howled and rushed forward in great excitement.
The largest cavalry showdown in the history of this land began.
The total number of soldiers on both sides is nearly 100,000, and each of them is elite.
It is no exaggeration to say that any of the two tribes sent out can sweep across the other tribes on the Black Soil Plain.
As the two sides got closer, Hudson, who was in the front, narrowed his pupils slightly and realized that something was wrong.
Why are the cavalry on the opposite side running so slowly?
And why does this movement seem a bit strange?
When there were only a few hundred steps on either side, Hudson finally realized what was wrong.
Fully armored, isn't this heavy cavalry?
Before becoming the patriarch, Hudson traveled with a caravan for a period of time and saw many things that were not on this land.
One of them was the heavy cavalry that he had always wanted to make but was unable to complete due to practical constraints.
The barbarian tribes did not lack iron ore, but they did not have the corresponding refining technology, so Hudson spent several years to gather together a few hundred heavy cavalry, which has always been his trump card.
However, if he was not mistaken, the opponents were all heavy cavalry, at least the ones rushing in the front were.
"It's over."
Hudson looked ashen.
Hudson, who had relied on heavy cavalry to bully other tribes, was very clear about the combat effectiveness of this type of troops. Especially when their speed increased, they were completely like a steel behemoth.
Even extraordinary warriors who are far stronger than ordinary people have to temporarily avoid the edge when facing such a steel behemoth.
However, this is where the tragedy lies. The speed of both sides is too fast, so fast that even if Hudson turns immediately, he will be hit by the warriors of the Night Tribe, and then they will lose even more miserably.
The three thousand heavy cavalry, led by Ye Zhan, instantly collided with the barbarian warriors.
Just like an elephant charging into a pack of wolves, the barbarian warriors it encountered in front of it either flew away or fell off their horses, and were then crushed into bloody mud.
No matter whether it is an ordinary soldier or an extraordinary soldier, facing tens of thousands of iron hooves, once they are stepped on, they will be turned into bloody mud.
The powerful heavy cavalry easily tore through the barbarian tribe's battle line, almost splitting them in half.
Throwing away the spear in his hand and picking up a machete, Ye Zhan slashed forward fiercely, killing two barbarian warriors instantly and falling off their horses.
"Hahaha, kill!"
"Is this the barbarian tribe? They are a bit weak!"
"Nothing special. With such strength, how can you stop our conquest?"
Laughing wildly, the heavy cavalry slowed down, but still charged forward firmly, using the long swords in their hands to cut a bloody path.
As the most elite warriors of the Night Tribe, they are equipped with the best equipment, and it can even be said that it is a level higher than the brothers behind them.
In comparison, the barbarian warriors' equipment is somewhat inferior.
The equipment of the barbarian tribes almost all came from caravans. The quality was not bad, but it was quite old.
Some of the barbarian warriors are wearing equipment that is already from their grandfathers’ generation.
If compared with the original Red River Tribe, then these equipments are undoubtedly advanced. After all, most of the people in the Red River Tribe at that time wore animal skin clothes.
But compared with the Night Tribe which had changed its clothes once, it looked very shabby.
If one soldier is out of equipment, it can be compensated in other aspects, but if tens of thousands of soldiers are out of equipment, then it can almost be declared that the battle is over.
