Chapter 258

The Han people have an old saying that goes well, if the sky does not take it, you will be blamed;

"Okay!" Dari'achi made up his mind, "Huqitu, I order you to lead a team of thousands of people and take down the market." Under the temptation of profit, he became fanatical and completely dragged the Tianfeng tribe into the abyss of hell.

"Here!" Hu Qitu was full of confidence.

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

On November 6, Hu Qitu, the commander of the Tianfeng Tribe, led an army that was "unprepared" in Youyi County, and suddenly crossed the moat outside Youyi County and raided the market.

The army drove away the merchants who traded in the market, looted all the goods in the market, and finally set a big fire to burn the market to nothing.

In the flames, the army left with a large amount of spoils.

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

The actions of the Tianfeng tribe spread throughout the grassland like a hurricane.

After the tribes got the news, some admired it, and some feared it. More regrets, regrets why I didn't think of it, being the first to be taken by the hateful Tianfeng tribe.

The victor was full of ambition. When a large amount of iron ore and food were successfully transported back to the tribe's base camp, the whole tribe was boiling, and a grand bonfire carnival was held that night.

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

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

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

The next day, before the lingering warmth of the carnival dissipated, the envoys from Youyi County had already arrived.

The envoy strongly condemned the looting of the Tianfeng Tribe, and demanded that the Tianfeng Tribe return all supplies and at the same time compensate 500 green clam horses to compensate for the loss of Youyi County.

"Haha~~~haha~~~" The envoy's message caused the tribal nobles to ridicule wantonly.

The messenger's expression remained unchanged, calm and composed.

Dari'achi sat on the dental tent, shook his head amusingly, and said, "What if I say no?"

"If your ministry refuses, the only option is to meet each other in battle."

"What a big tone, do you know who you are talking to?" Hu Qitu scolded. The success of the looting operation greatly increased his prestige in the tribe, and he was regarded as a hero of the tribe.

The envoy's eyes were fixed, neither humble nor overbearing, turned to look at Huqitu, and said calmly: "This one must be the general Huqitu who led the team to rob the market, right? My lord said that the culprit must be punished!"

"You!" Hu Qitu was out of breath, his blood rushing up, "You are so courageous, see if I don't kill you." As he spoke, he pulled out the scimitar at his waist, got up and walked towards the envoy, blood was about to splatter five steps away .

"Wait!" Suddenly, Dari'achi stopped Huqitu, and asked suspiciously: "What did you say just now, Junhou? How dare you call yourself a lord in a small Youyi County?"

Facing the aggressive Huqitu, the emissary was not afraid, and his expression remained unchanged, as if he regarded it as nothing. Hearing Dari'achi's question, he turned his head and said: "There is no room for reconciliation for insulting the prince, so farewell!"

"Stop!" Hu Qitu stopped the envoy and said with a sneer, "Do you still want to leave?"

"What? You're going to kill me, an emissary?"

"Bullshit Messenger, send me to hell!" Hu Qitu raised his scimitar and slashed it down.

"Stop!" Dari'achi stopped in time, and said in a deep voice: "The Han people have a saying, the two countries are at war, and they will not be killed. Don't let outsiders think that our grassland tribes are uneducated, let them 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 getting carried away.

"Here!" How clever Hu Qitu felt the displeasure in the patriarch's tone, and retreated unhappily.

Dari'achi looked at the envoy and said, "Go back and tell your so-called princes, don't insult yourself."

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

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

As early as when the Military Intelligence Department was making detailed moves, the Military Affairs Administration began to mobilize the army and prepare for it.

After two mergers, the Tianfeng tribe has a population of over 8,000. Based on the nomadic tribe's tradition that all people are soldiers, the tribal regular army has expanded from the original one thousand-man team to three thousand-man team.

For this battle, Ouyang Shuo did not mobilize the troops from the west camp and the east camp. They are in full swing to suppress the bandits, and they are recruited temporarily, which will not only work hard, but also easily disrupt the deployment of the bandits.

The troops on the expedition include the second brigade of the first division temporarily withdrawn to the base camp, the imperial guard brigade who is training in the new barracks in the western suburbs, the Shanhai county guard brigade, the Yushui county guard brigade and the friendship county guard brigade, a total of five brigades of 12,500 The number of people is more than four times that of the Tianfeng tribe's army.

In addition to the Shanhai County Guard Brigade, the Yushui County Guard Brigade and the Youyi County Guard Brigade have just been established for a month. After becoming an army, there is no chance to participate in actual combat, and the combat effectiveness is weaker.

Ouyang Shuo mainly relied on the two ace brigades, the Imperial Guard Brigade and the Second Brigade. Both brigades had been equipped with green clam horses, Mingguang armor and horse lances.

The green clam horses of the second brigade of the first division have been equipped with armor and become heavy cavalry in the true sense. As for the Imperial Guard Brigade, in order to maintain sufficient mobility, they voluntarily gave up their horse armor.

The sudden military action forced the training of the new barracks in the western suburbs to be suspended.

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

On November 8th of the first year of Gaia, Youyi County.

On the city wall, the flag of the Lord of Shanhai County was slowly raised, shining brightly under the sunlight. Announcing that the power of Shanhai County has officially invaded the grassland, revealing its minions that have been hidden for a long time.

Facing the rising sun, the soldiers of the five brigades lined up neatly, waiting for the inspection of the princes and marquises.

Accompanied by Wang Feng, Lin Yi and other generals, Ouyang Shuo climbed to the high platform, inspected the troops, and issued a call for suppression, accusing the Tianfeng tribe of ignoring the cooperative relationship between the two sides, brazenly attacking the market in Youyi County and looting supplies. Not only that, but he also refused the envoy's terms of reconciliation, despised Shanhai County, and in order to defend his glory, he had to fight.

"Fight! Fight! Fight!" Tens of thousands of soldiers roared loudly, resolutely defending the glory of the territory. The army array exuded a monstrous aura, and it swept over with blood and fire, and it was about to submerge 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 as a human being, he couldn't help but feel excited.
