Chapter 4: The Secret War

The news that Roy had quietly divided the land for his slaves and removed the slave nationality spread far and wide. The first to come to the door were the old nobles in the Red Cloud Tribe, although they surrendered, it did not mean that their interests could be trampled on at will.

Roy already had a rumbling over his words. It's just that these slaves of his own family are fighting bravely in foreign wars, they are not afraid of death, and they usually love themselves, but now they are supervising the safety of this red cloud and have no time to manage these slaves, so they gave them land and went to slave status, just for the stability of their own backyard. Let the noblemen not care too much, this is his personal behavior and will not affect the interests of others.

The nobles were skeptical, saying, "War has always been the business of the nobles, when did your slaves join the war?" but seeing the burly armor soldiers in Roy's family, they didn't dare to really make a mistake here.

Roy replied, "Thunder was originally weak, but when it came to resisting the invasion of Yuhua, everyone naturally fought. ”

Roy's words circulated in the streets, and they changed their flavor. Some people convey the words "their own slaves have made military merits, so they have gone to slave status" as "all slaves who have joined the army in Leise and made military merits can go to slave status and get land." ”

Such a "false rumor", one spread ten, ten spread hundreds, and even Ping Yucheng had this rumor two years later. Among the slaves of the nobles who were reused, they also began to ask whether they could enlist in the army.

Although the elders of the council of Thunder couldn't sit still, because Roy was the general of Barr who had been ordered to stabilize the red cloud, and his approach was clarified to the council many times, saying that he would not promote his own practice, the old guys lived a free life with peace of mind. Speaking of which, over the years, with Bal's group of young people expanding their territory, they are very comfortable hiding in Thundercloud City.

The good days didn't last long, and the little hand Batu came again, but he only saw Su Yan quietly first.

"Elder Su, you're having a good time. Batu glanced at the many copper products in the Su Scale Room, picked up an iron sword from the weapon rack and looked at it.

Su Yan said disappreciatively: "Lord Batu has praised it falsely, how can these things enter your eyes, I don't know what the adults will teach when they come?"

"I've heard that Red Cloud Roy has freed his slaves, and that a hundred of his warriors have followed suit by giving land to their slaves, so don't you worry?" said Batu, with a twinkle in his eyes.

A hint of clarity flashed in Su Scale's eyes, and he thought to himself, this is the only matter, he sloppily said, "Lord Batu turned out to be here for these trivial things, it's really not worth it." Roy and their children, who have been fighting in front of them for a long time and have seen a lot of blood, will inevitably have compassion for themselves, not to mention that they have their own in the red clouds, what is the matter, the slaves are chained in a circle, can they still turn the sky upside down?"

"But, I've heard, that Barr was behind this..."

Barr sneezed and thought to himself, "Who is talking bad about me?" and his wife, Suanna, draped him in a garment and blamed him for being shirtless in the cold and in the heat.

"Anna, someone has come to report that Little Hand Batu has gone to see your father. Barr digressed.

Suanna's eyes flashed, knowing her husband's intentions, she sat down in his arms and said, "I'll let Anne go and see what little tricks Batu has played." ”

When Anne returns, the shadow of the superstar is missing from the sky, and she overhears that Batu is trying to convince Suescale to recall Roy and get the council to order that the warriors of the army are forbidden to free the slaves. However, Su Yan thought that Hongyun was located at the border pass, so it was not appropriate to change it, so he did not agree.

Batu then went to the homes of several of the other council elders, and soon after, five council elders reported the matter to Su Lan.

"That is, there are three people who have moved their minds?" Suanna took a sip of milk gracefully, these days, her body is always a little tired.

Barr helped his wife to sit down, draped his clothes back over her, and took his saber: "It's time to teach the coalition forces some lessons." ”

It didn't take much time for Ollia to assess the Eastern Rebellion, and he actually did something much more daring. When he heard about Roy's approach, the first thing that came to his mind was that it must be Barr's instructions, and he was the only one who had so many perverse ideas. So he took the slaves he had just collected, gave them all away, unshackled his hands and feet, and found some caring warriors to lead him, and drew a line on the ground with a whip, pointing to the east, and said, "You are free, and from this line to the east, whatever you have gained is your own." I will come to you again if necessary, but I do not want another slave to appear in the land to the east. ”

Baal and Ollia appeared in Red Cloud City at the same time, Roy and Ollia didn't see each other for a long time, exchanged pleasantries, and handed over the order to Ollya.

When the 10,000 warriors stood in front of Oria Black, he didn't believe his eyes a little, when had he ever commanded so many people, but Baal's calm expression when he stood aside made him immediately feel a little petty. If all the slaves were shackled into spears and armed, there would always be a hundred thousand soldiers. Now these 10,000 people seem to be enough to solve Kai Ling and Yan Thorn.

Barr divided his army into two groups, he led 500 cavalry and 3,000 infantry to the southwest to attack the Kailing Division, ordered Oria to lead 1,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry to attack the Yan Thorn Division, and Roy sent 500 infantry to the Pony tribe to assist the Pony Tribe's monarch Ma Ling to deter many small tribes from acting rashly.

Oria led his troops to fight with the Yan Thorn tribe in the eastern part of the Yan Thorn Ridge. The Swallow Thorn is a large tribe, with 8,000 warriors and a Swallow Fox strategy, only in the hills, not fighting a decisive battle with Oriah, delaying time, waiting for Kailing to come to support, or the small tribe in the north can attack Red Cloud City. Oria had nowhere to go, but he didn't want Kelling to come to his aid.

A year later, waiting for the spies to report, the Kailing general Rhys led 3,000 cavalry south across the Yanthorn border, and Rhys's brother Huhu set up a defense in the border city of Kaiyun City.

"The Kailing duo aren't straw bales either. That's Barr's comment. However, he still personally led 200 cavalry and 300 infantry to detour north of Kaiyun and sneak through the mountains on the border of the ice field to make a sneak attack on Kailing City.

The Tiger was prepared for this, and discovered Baal's whereabouts early. I couldn't help but feel contempt in my heart: "Dignified Barr, also do this thing of stealing chickens and dogs." So he sent half of his troops to intercept and kill Baal in two teams, and the weapons were iron arrows made of fine iron sent by the Pingyu Empire, and there were 5,000 troops, several times that of Baal.

When the five hundred warriors of Baal were about to pass through the west entrance of the hills, they were blocked by the two thousand elites of the Kailing army, and they were invincible. Balbe killed 500 enemies, and after losing 100 of his own, he retreated back to the mountains, all the way east, and was surrounded by the Kelling Legion in a small plain in the center of Kaiqiu.

The arrows shot like locusts, and the Bar shield was tightly guarded, with only minor injuries and no serious deaths. A trumpet sounded in the east, and 2,000 infantry were killed in the mountains, and it was Barr's reinforcements who had been ambushed here early.

The two armies fought, the four hundred men of Bar in the middle were brave and invincible, the Red Cloud Brigade in the east was desperate for the land that had just arrived, and the thousands of Kailing troops blocked in the middle were about to collapse at the touch of a button.

Barr turned his horse's head and charged westward. The five thousand elite Kai army, with little left in less than a moment and a half, were chased by Barr and fled south to join the Tiger.

The Tiger himself led 3,000 cavalry to meet and fought a decisive battle with 2,000 men of Baal in the central plains of Kailing.

The Thunder Army was in a difficult attack from afar, but its morale was high, and the two armies faced each other and were in a stalemate for a while.

Tiger's brother Rhys learned that he would send 1,000 elites back to help Tiger. Baal stormed and attacked to annihilate the tiger before reinforcements arrived.

Rhy's reinforcements crossed Kaiyun City, wrapped around the 1,000 defenders of Kaiyun City, and went straight to the decisive battlefield between Baal and the Tiger.

When the battle resumed, there was a horn outside Kaiyun City, and 300 cavalry and 200 infantry, a total of 500 thunder-colored warriors, entered the empty city and captured the city in one fell swoop.

Seeing the fireworks in Kaiyun City, the commander-in-chief of the Kailing Army, Reis, knew that he had fallen for Bal's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, so he did not dare to fight again, and organized the remnants to retreat to Kailing City.

Soon, most of the Yan Thorns who were entangled with Oria withdrew to Yanbian City and could not hold out, and even transferred troops to garrison the Yan Thorn-Kailing border. Due to the loss of the Kailing Border Pass, there is no moat in the central border between the two countries, and the Thunder Army can go south or north from Kaiyun City, and since then, the two tribes have been under the watchful eye of Baal.

This battle is called the Battle of Kaiyun, and the deeds of Baal fighting in a roundabout way, turning the tiger away from the mountain, and winning more with less in the first ever battle of 10,000 people until the end are also talked about in the history books of the star.

The good news was transmitted back to the city of Thunder, and the little hand who lobbied in the city, Batu, was pale, and his years of hard work on the lobbying of the nobles had just achieved a little effect, but because of this victory of Barr, it was in vain. Because the nobles in the city were afraid, they were afraid of Baal's strength, they were afraid of angering Roy, and more importantly, the opinions of the council elders were unclear, and there was even gossip that Su Liang and the other six council elders had clearly rejected Batu's proposal. Now, at least I can live a comfortable life again.
