159 Preparation

Tu Meng of Xue Man's Department couldn't help but organize a large army to retaliate, five thousand young and strong, this number is indeed a bit scary.

If it was more than two years ago, when Zhao Hao had just killed Gongzi Yinglou, Tu Meng had made such a bloody investment and organized so many people to come to retaliate, Zhao Hao would have been really shocked, because at that time, there were less than 5,000 people in the Salt Department and the Black Stone Department, and they would not be able to resist so many people at all.

However, this is different, after more than two years of development, Zhao Hao has annexed dozens of small tribes around him, and established most of Haotian, now, Haotian's cavalry alone has reached more than 4,000, and 5,000 young and strong people with no equipment are nothing to him.

Of course, so many people rushed over, and he couldn't ignore it, if he didn't take people seriously, whatever they did, it would be a bit ridiculous.

You must know that at this time, most of the cavalry of the eight battalions of Haotian are hunting strange beasts in the wild jungle, if the army of Xue Man's army is allowed to rush over, then the ordinary people of Haotian will suffer.

Therefore, after receiving Wu's secret letter, Zhao Hao ordered all battalions to speed up the hunting of strange beasts, and at the same time, he also gave up continuing to hunt the existence of close to the divine beasts, and began to make every effort to help the battalions hunt tigers and wolves.

Three or four hundred foreign beasts, if he ran to hunt them one by one, it would naturally be protracted, and if the eight battalions of cavalry hunted together, the speed would be fast, after all, on average, there were only about forty or fifty of them in each battalion, and they had been hunting for nearly a month, basically about half of them had been eliminated, and there were not many left.

After less than a month, all the strange beasts were finally hunted, and Zhao Hao had already galloped back to the camp.

At this time, the strength of Haotianbu is relatively terrifying, not only not only has he and Youyan already exceeded 10,000 catties, but Ah Yun and Ah Yue have also broken through the bottleneck one after another in this month or so and become masters with a strength of more than 10,000 catties.

That is to say, at this time, there are four masters in Haotian Department with a strength of more than 10,000 catties, and the number is already equal to the west wing of Xue Manbu.

Moreover, after eating three pairs of offal and more than ten pairs of tiger beasts, Zhao Hao's strength has also skyrocketed to about 45,000 catties, so to speak, even if Tu Meng personally leads the army at this time, and all the elite soldiers and young men on the west wing of Xue Man's department come to retaliate, he is not afraid, not to mention that it is just a mere 5,000 young men who have returned to the tribe.

After returning to the Great Horde, he issued an order to send 300 elite cavalry from each battalion to the north of Salt Stone City, and wait for dispatch to prepare for the enemy.

At this time, the strength of the cavalry of the eighth battalion was also quite terrifying.

The strength of the generals of each battalion has basically reached more than 8,000 catties, and Ah Hua has even reached the limit of 10,000 catties.

The strength of the lieutenants of each battalion has basically reached more than 5,000 catties, and some have even reached about 6,000 catties.

There are also battalion captains and captains, whose strength is basically more than 2,000 catties, which is stronger than the average small tribe leader.

As for the ordinary cavalry of each battalion, the strength is at least 500 catties, and there are many masters with a strength of more than 1,000 catties.

With such a large group of elites gathered together, it is estimated that it will not be a problem to sweep the western flank of the Xue Man's Tribe, if it weren't for the fear of the crazy revenge of the leader of the Xue Man's Tribe, Zhao Hao really wanted to destroy Tu Meng in one fell swoop.

At this time, the west wing of the Xue Manbu is a different situation, the leader of the Nanjiang Department Wu is ordered by Tu Meng to recruit the young people of the surrounding tribes, but the response of the tribes is not very positive, because their young and strong have to hunt meat for the clansmen, and most of the young people in the clan will be sent to the battlefield, in case, all of them are killed in battle, how can ordinary clansmen live!

It is precisely because of this concern that the leaders of the various tribes are twisting and pinching, hesitating, pushing if they can, delaying if they can, more than a month has passed, and Wu has not yet gathered five thousand young people.

In other words, isn't the Xue Manbu the majority of the Southern Barbarians, why are they so loose?

The reason is actually very simple, because the development model of the Xue Manbu is not at all the same as that of the Haotian Tribe, or in other words, the way they annex the surrounding tribes is not at all the same as that of the Haotian Tribe.

Haotianbu's annexation method was to subdue all the people of the surrounding tribes, and directly let them leave the old land of the tribe, and even forget the original name of the tribe and gather on the grassland.

In this way, these tribes are equivalent to completely integrating into the Haotian Ministry, and after subduing these tribes, Zhao Hao gave them enough benefits to enjoy a better life than before, so the clansmen of these tribes basically have no rebellious heart, and everyone almost regards themselves as real Haotian tribesmen.

And the annexation method of the Xue Manbu is different, because they don't have enough food, so they can only get other tribes to join through various means, and it is impossible to gather all the people of other tribes together, let alone give them enough benefits.

That is to say, after they annexed the surrounding tribes, all the clansmen of these tribes basically stayed in their original places and lived a similar life as before, and even, because of the continuous oppression of the Xue Manbu, their lives were not as good as before they were annexed.

Therefore, these tribes that were annexed by the Xue Manbu basically had a grudge against the Xue Manbu, if it weren't for the Xue Manbu's force being too strong and overwhelming them, it is estimated that some tribes would have rebelled long ago.

This is also the fundamental reason why they hesitated in the face of Xue Man's recruitment, pushed if they could, and delayed if they could.

Are you bullying us every day and asking us to help you go to war, can you not be so excessive?

Of course, they didn't dare to disobey Tu Meng's orders, they were just trying to delay time as much as possible.

You must know that the Xue Manbu is quite brutal to the tribe that belongs to it, and if that tribe dares to disobey the order, its tribal leader will die!

Tu Meng also knew that these guys would definitely not willingly send the young men of the clan to fight for him, so while ordering Wu Wu, the leader of the Nanjiang Tribe, to recruit the young men of the tribes, he also sent his own cronies, General An Mu, with five hundred elite soldiers and more than 100,000 catties of meat on his back, to the assembly point set up by the Nanjiang Department in the wild jungle. Fastest update Mobile:

On the surface, he is sending food to the young men of these tribes, but in fact, he is deterring these tribes, and whoever dares to disobey will be destroyed!

To tell the truth, 100,000 catties of meat is a drop in the bucket for 5,000 young people, you know, people here are the kind that can eat, if they let go of their stomachs to eat, each person eats a dozen catties of meat every day, it is considered less.

Of course, Tu Meng won't let them let go of their stomachs to eat, this 100,000 catties of meat is still something he finally deducted, and the standard he set is that every young man will eat one pound of meat every day!

As for the problem of not having enough to eat, I'm sorry, you can solve it yourself.

Moreover, he will not provide meat later, if you want to ensure that you do not go hungry in the next six months of the campaign, then find a way to hunt yourself! : :

After General Anmu led the army to arrive at the assembly point set up by the Nanjiang Department on the edge of the wild jungle, the tribes obediently sent the young Zhuang over, and the five thousand young men were also assembled, and the next step was to prepare for a big war.
