In the grasslands north of Iwacheng, it was the turn of summer and autumn, and a black spot suddenly appeared on the endless green, and if you looked closely, this black spot was moving rapidly.

Umai's hundred-man team had not returned from hunting for nearly two days, which made Zamashida, the chief of the Amerik tribe, feel that something was unusual. Umai was the centurion of his base tribe and a close confidant who fought with him, and Zamashida once wanted Umai to lead one of his 10,000 troops, but Umai refused and continued to be a centurion for him to guard the rear.

So Umai is a subordinate to Zamashida, but in fact he is more like a brother, and this is also when he heard the news that Zamashida had not returned to the tribe for two days, and immediately returned to his tribe from the king's tent.

"Dursley, did you say that Umai has been out hunting for two days, and he hasn't come back yet?" Zamashida returned to his tribe and asked his subordinate Captain Wan for news of Umai as soon as he got off his horse.

Dursley knelt down to show his respect to Zamashita, and he bowed his head and said, "Yes, Great Chief. Umai led his team of 100 men out hunting two mornings ago, and has not returned since. ”

Zamashida then asked, "In which direction did he go?" Zamashida knew Umai very well, and Umai liked to go out hunting, but even if he didn't come back, he would send someone with him back to report the news, and there had never been a disappearance like this for two days and two nights.

The territory of the Amerik tribe is not very large in the grassland, it is indeed a little smaller than the powerful Abbasi and Arosa tribes, but Amerik's territory is the richest on the grassland. For no other reason, the territory of the Amerik tribe was the closest to the Qin state, and in the past, when the Great Khan of Balashan reigned, the herdsmen of Amerik often traded with the Qin people. So this time to fight with the Qin people, the most reluctant is the tribe of Zamasida, once the war with the Qin people, their tribe's leather goods and meat products can only be piled up at home and broken, so the loss is too much.

"Wumai seems to have gone to the side of Dalarna Mountain on the edge of the grassland this time, he said that he had never been to that place to hunt before, it is said that there are snow wolves in Dalarna Mountain, and a good snow wolf skin can be exchanged for five taels of gold on the Qin people's side. I think he's going there this time. ”

"Nonsense, Dalarna Mountain is so close to the border city of the Qin people, what if you meet the Qin people, if it was okay to say before, now we are fighting with them, if they do, can Wumai be the opponent of the Qin people?" After hearing Dursley say that Wumai might go to Dalarna Mountain, Zamasida suddenly felt that something was wrong, if it was really the army of Qin, a hundred-man team of Wumai would definitely not be their opponent.

Zamasita drank a bowl of mare's milk wine, and regained some of his spirits, and he walked to his horse, and as he went, he said, "Go, gather men, and a thousand men will set out with me, and we will go in search of Umai." ”

"Yes, Grand Chief. ”

Soon, a thousand Amerik cavalry left the tribe after Zamashida and galloped toward Mount Dalarna.

Mount Dalarna is southeast of Amerik, and on the other side of Mount Dalarna is the rock city of Qin. The Dalarna Mountains stretch for thousands of miles, and this mountain is also the border between the Qin State and the grassland in this direction. However, because the Xiongnu needed to graze cattle and sheep to make a living, there were no Xiongnu tribes in Dalana Mountain, only a rock city of the Qin army was built here.

"See, chief, this is like a garment of our people. Dozens of miles away from Dalarna Mountain, Zamashida, who was galloping, was attracted by a bloodstained leather armor brought by the pathfinder in front of him.

Zamashida took the bloodstained leather armor and took it in his hand to look at it carefully, and he was sure that it was the fragment of leather armor worn by Umai's team of hundreds.

The blood stains on the leather armor had solidified black, but the Amerik logo on it was still clearly visible. Reading nests

Zamashida rode his horse and looked around, "Everyone spread out and looked in this place to see if there were any other places with such clothes. ”

A thousand people scattered in all directions, looking for traces left by Umai's hundreds.

A short time later, a cavalryman rode back and reported to Zamashida: "Great chief, there are traces of a battle ahead, and there are still many traces of blood there. ”

"Take me to see it. Zamashida, who was becoming more and more uneasy in his heart, hurriedly said.

When he got to find more bloodstains, Zamashida looked at the meadow, which was stained with blood in almost every place. It was clear that there had been a battle here, and it had been a fierce cavalry battle. The countless horseshoe prints scattered on the ground just prove this.

"Cavalry battle?Could it be that the people of Umai met the cavalry of the Qin army here?" said Zamashida in her heart. However, it seems that the number of horseshoe prints on this ground will definitely not exceed two hundred horses here, and if Wumai's people meet the cavalry of the Qin army, even if they are really not the opponents of the other party, then they should not be completely wiped out.

Before Zamashida could figure it out, someone found something in the distance, and a soldier came over and asked Zamashita to come and see.

Zamashida walked over and saw that the whole person was like a lightning strike, and the place was littered with human heads, some of which had been eaten by the vultures of the grassland, leaving only white skulls, and some of which had half of their faces scattered on the grass everywhere. Not far from the heads, there was a pair of white bones, and there were blood stains on the white bones, which had always been swallowed by wolves or some kind of flesh and blood.

On the other side of these bones were pieces of broken leather armor. Seeing these leather armor, the identity of these bones has been confirmed, this is the bones of the hundred-man team of Umai.

Zamashita didn't expect to see the death of his good brother here, and even the corpse was eaten by the damned vultures and wolves. This is a great taboo in the grassland, because the people on the grassland believe that if the body is not complete, then after death, there will be no immortality, and his soul will be lonely and unable to be reincarnated as an adult.

"Brother Umai!" Zamashida cried out in pain as her legs fell to her knees.

The thousand cavalry who came with him naturally knew what was happening, and everyone got off their horses and knelt on the ground with the big leader.

Looking at the white bones in this place, Zamashida left tears, the best brother died here like this, and even his bones were not intact, so how could he go back and explain to Umai's wife and children.

"Brother Umai, you died so miserably, brother, I'm late, I'm sorry for you. Tell me, who is it, who killed you, and I will avenge you! I will break the body of the man who killed you, and sacrifice your soul in heaven with his flesh and blood. Brother Umai, tell me, Brother Umai......"

In the distance, several wild wolves and vultures shot by the Amerik cavalry who were the first to find the area were chopped into pieces by the angry Zamashita with a scimitar at his waist to vent his resentment.

The only ones who can have the strength to kill all these hundred elite cavalry here are the cavalry of the Qin State, plus this place is so close to the border city of the Qin State. Zamashita ordered his soldiers to bring back all the bones of the 100 people who died here for burial, he rode a horse and looked in the direction of the southern Qin State, and said silently: "Wumai, your revenge, the eldest brother will definitely avenge you! No matter how many people kill you, I will let the Qin people use their blood to pay for their killing!"
