The war ended, and the 5,000-strong army of the Anti-Black Alliance attacked, but was defeated by the city, and in the end, less than 500 people escaped.

The inhabitants of the city worked together to kill more than 4,600 enemies, and none of them were captured, and more than 5,000 horses were harvested intact, and the remaining horses that had been killed or seriously injured could be eaten, and the horses that were not seriously injured could be left.

There were very few casualties, more than 20 people were killed, more than 10 people were seriously wounded, and more than 50 people were lightly wounded.

In addition, when the residents of the city were cleaning the battlefield, they found the bronze knife forged by the Xia Kingdom, and the people of the city guessed that among the thirteen tribes that attacked, there were nomadic tribes with which the Xia Kingdom had traded before, but this matter was not important, and the Xia Kingdom had already broken off the trade with the nomadic tribes.

After the end of the war, Hunan immediately sent people to Zhongjing City to report the war, after the cavalry unit returned, after two days of rest and reorganization, and the reorganization of the troops, finally the cavalry unit ten teams were fully established, there were more than 30 poor performance of the newcomers all cleared the team, and those who exceeded the establishment also remained in the cavalry unit.

After two days of rest, Mu Shi set off again with the cavalry troops, the nomadic tribes dared to unite to attack the city, then the cavalry troops would retaliate back, and the cavalry troops of the Xia Kingdom, which already had ten teams, would be a powerful force that could gallop across the prairie.

The cavalry troops of the Xia Kingdom once again went deep into the grassland, on the other side, the remnants of the Anti-Black Alliance fled back to the various tribes, and the news brought back by the survivors made the members of the Anti-Black Alliance terrified, the Black Tribe was too powerful, and the five thousand troops of the Anti-Black Alliance were defeated, and it had not brought much damage to the Black Tribe, what should they do next.

The Pegasus tribe is the most surviving team among the thirteen member tribes of the Anti-Black Alliance, and after returning to their own tribe, the people of the Pegasus tribe are also terrified, and they are very afraid of the black tribe cavalry, but the Pegasus leader is not too worried about this, the grassland is so big, and it is very difficult for the black tribe to find the Pegasus tribe.

What makes the leader of Pegasus pay attention is that this black tribe is very likely to have a relationship with the Xia country, the Xia country has a big ship that sails in the big river, and has traded with the Pegasus tribe many times, the former Pegasus tribe is relatively weak, and the copper knife traded from the Xia country is one of the reasons why the Pegasus tribe is strong, but unfortunately the Pegasus tribe can't get more copper knives.

After just a day's rest, the Pegasus tribe once again took action, and under the leadership of the Pegasus leader, the Pegasus tribe gathered all its fighters and rushed towards a medium-sized tribal settlement that the Pegasus tribe was familiar with in the Anti-Black Alliance.

The Pegasus tribe suffered heavy losses in the battlefield, and the other member tribes of the Anti-Black Alliance suffered even more losses, especially the target chosen by the leader of the Pegasus, and it is expected that no more than ten people will flee back, which is even weaker than the Pegasus tribe.

As long as the Pegasus tribe gives full play to the advantage of night warfare, the Pegasus tribe can take this tribe at a small price, which is enough to make up for the losses of the Pegasus tribe in the war against the black tribe.

The Pegasus Tribe is on the move, and so is the Withergrass Tribe on the move.

The thirteen member tribes of the Anti-Black Alliance, the leaders of the thirteen tribes all personally led the team to fight, and in the end there were only six leaders who escaped with their lives, and only three leaders who were not injured, including the leader of Pegasus and the leader of the withered grass, the loss of the Pegasus tribe was the smallest, and the loss of the withered grass tribe was the second, and more than 70 people in the withered grass tribe escaped with their lives.

Fleeing back to the tribe, the first thought of the leader of the withered grass is to move with the withered grass tribe quickly, the withered grass tribe has been hit hard, there may be many tribes who know where the withergrass tribe lives, if the withered grass tribe stays here, it is very likely to be attacked by the enemy.

After a night, the leader of the withered grass temporarily gave up the idea of moving, and the leader of the withered grass gave birth to a new idea, the anti-black alliance is not the opponent of the black tribe, but the anti-black alliance cannot be dissolved, and all the tribes of the anti-black alliance have been hit hard in this battle, if the anti-black alliance is disbanded like this, it will be difficult for the thirteen member tribes to survive on the grassland, it is better to let the anti-black alliance continue to exist.

On the one hand, it is to fight against other powerful nomadic tribes and save itself, on the other hand, it can also absorb more member tribes, and one day, the Anti-Black Alliance will once again wage war against the Black Tribe, destroy the Black Tribe, and avenge the clansmen who died in the war.

A defeat could not affect the status of the leader of the withered grass in his own tribe, and the idea of the leader of the withered grass was immediately implemented, and the withered grass tribe quickly dispatched multiple teams to contact the member tribes of the Anti-Black Alliance.

By the time the teams returned, the Withered Grass Leader received several good news and more bad news.

The good news is that several tribes have agreed to continue to maintain the Anti-Black Alliance, and each tribe has been hit hard in the war against the Black Tribe, and if the Anti-Black Alliance continues to exist, even if it is not the opponent of the Black Tribe, it can unite against other tribes.

The bad news gave the leader of the dry grass a headache, only six leaders came back, many of the leaders died in the war, and the high-ranking tribes who fled back immediately began to fight for power and profit, wanting to become the new leader of the tribe, and had no intention of thinking about the matter of the anti-black alliance.

Two days later, an even worse news reached the Withered Grass Tribe, a war broke out between the two member tribes of the Anti-Black Alliance, and it was the Pegasus tribe that took the initiative to attack the other tribe, and finally the Pegasus tribe won a complete victory, and the other tribe only escaped less than a hundred people, and their tribe can be said to be completely destroyed.

The leader of the withered grass has not forgotten the agreement of the Anti-Black Alliance, which prohibits member tribes from fighting each other, and if there is a violation, other member tribes will unite to attack the tribe.

The leader of the withered grass must act, if he does not act, I am afraid that the anti-black alliance will disappear, even if he can't defeat the Pegasus tribe, he must give the Pegasus tribe a little bit of power.

Two days later, the four member tribes of the Anti-Black Alliance gathered 800 people and marched in the direction of the residence of the Pegasus tribe, and after receiving the news, the leader of the Pegasus led all the tribesmen who could participate in the battle to intercept the 800 cavalry of the Anti-Black Alliance.

Seven hundred people of the Pegasus tribe fought against the eight hundred cavalry of the Black Alliance, and several skirmishes broke out between the two sides, each with damage, and finally the price of 8,000 cattle, horses and sheep paid by the Pegasus tribe made the Anti-Black Alliance withdraw its troops.

The Pegasus tribe is indeed not the opponent of the anti-black alliance, but if the two sides really fight to the death, the Pegasus tribe will be destroyed, and the four tribes of the anti-black alliance will also suffer heavy losses, which is what neither side wants to see, and the black tribe cavalry appeared again, making the two sides truce, and the Pegasus tribe was also removed from the anti-black alliance.

After the war between the Pegasus tribe and the anti-black alliance, the Pegasus tribe immediately moved with all their belongings, and the black tribe cavalry came, and their own tribe did not deal with the anti-black alliance, so they could only choose to move far away, away from the anti-black alliance, away from the black tribe.

During the time when the Anti-Black Alliance and the Pegasus tribe were fighting, several member tribes of the Anti-Black Alliance had elected new leaders, some of the new leaders decided to continue to maintain the Anti-Black Alliance, and some leaders decided to withdraw from the Anti-Black Alliance, and finally there were only seven member tribes left of the Anti-Black Alliance.

At its peak, the Anti-Black Alliance had thirteen member tribes, with a total population of more than 27,000, with more than 4,500 adult males and nearly 7,000 adult females, and more than 9,000 adult combatants could be assembled at the same time.

At present, there are only seven member tribes left in the anti-mafia alliance, with a total population of less than 12,000, about 1,300 adult males, and about 2,700 adult females, and less than 3,000 adult combatants can be assembled at the same time

Compared with its peak, the Anti-Black Alliance has declined severely, but there are good aspects, and the current Anti-Black Alliance is more united.

The rule that member tribes are not allowed to attack each other has been redetermined, and at present, the seven member tribes have been severely damaged, in order to avoid the black tribe cavalry, and in order to be able to quickly support each other, the seven member tribes of the anti-black alliance have migrated to the west together, and eventually the residence of the seven member tribes will be surrounded by a circle.

The center is the withered grass tribe, and the other six tribes surround the withered grass tribe, thus determining the core location of the withered grass tribe, and the leader of the withered grass has almost become the leader of the anti-black alliance, but nominally, the seven member tribes of the anti-black alliance are still on an equal footing, and everyone discusses things together, and no tribe is willing to be inferior to others.

If there is something to discuss in the Anti-Black Alliance, each tribe will directly gather in the residence of the Withered Grass Tribe, and at present, in the Anti-Black Alliance, the Widry Grass Tribe is the most populous and powerful tribe.

Compared with the last time, this time the cavalry troops of the Xia Kingdom used more time to destroy a tribe, the last time it was only ten days, and this time it was almost half a month, I have to say that the expansion of the fame of the cavalry troops of the Xia Kingdom has brought them a lot of trouble.

The nomadic tribes in this area almost all know the name of the Black Tribal cavalry, and they will avoid it from a distance after discovering the black tribal cavalry in black armor and black horses, and will also send clansmen to keep an eye on them, once they find that the black tribal cavalry is rushing towards their tribe's residence, they will try their best to lure the black tribal cavalry away, or immediately move and escape.

The main goal of the Xia cavalry to go deep into the grassland is to obtain cattle, horses and sheep, and the captured population is secondary, if they do not obtain more than 10,000 cattle, horses and sheep at a time, the cavalry will not return easily, and the small number of cattle, horses and sheep obtained will directly give up and look for new targets.

This time, it also directly hit a nomadic tribe's residence, and the other party was wiped out by the Xia cavalry before they had time to escape, capturing more than 800 people and obtaining more than 10,000 cattle, horses and sheep, so the harvest was enough.

"Next time we should change the area." Mu Shi said to Kong Chang, and Kong Chang nodded in agreement.

The cavalry force already has ten teams, and when this time ends, the next time they go deep into the grassland, when autumn comes, they will directly deviate from this area and go to another grassland area that they have not touched, where they should know very little about the confidence of the cavalry troops of the Xia Kingdom, which is conducive to their early harvest.

In addition, when the next year comes, the recruits have accumulated enough experience, and then the cavalry troops can be divided into two teams to act, and maybe the cavalry troops will be able to wipe out the nomadic tribes for two months when they go deep into the steppe at a time, and get more booty than before.

……

Walking into Zhongjing City, you can feel that Zhongjing City is shrouded in a sad atmosphere, and on a rainy night a few days ago, Lu Yuan, the last patriarch of the Xia Kingdom, passed away.

Hu Biao, Shan Song, Rabbit Shen, Snake Zhi, Lu Yuan, the five elders of the Xia Kingdom, have all passed away.

According to Lu Yuan's decision before his death, the position of the patriarch of the Lu clan was taken over by Lu Xiao, who served as the lord of a certain city.

In the face of the death of Lu Yuan, Su Yan was very sad, but compared with the past, Su Yan's sadness is getting less and less, the death of an old friend has made Su Yan see through life, Su Yan, who is forty-six years old this year, looks like he is only thirty years old, and will send more old friends away in the future.

In this era, old age is probably the happiest thing, remember the era of the snake tribe, it is almost impossible for the tribe to die of old age, whenever the tribe lacks food, the old man who can't make much contribution to the tribe takes the initiative to leave the tribe and save food for the tribe.

Death in battle, death from disease, starvation, poisoning, under various ways of death, old death can only be a luxury, but now in the Xia Kingdom, the number of people who die of old age is increasing, and death comes, they have no sadness, most of them face it calmly, and many people think it is relief.

Now Su Yan, there are probably only two goals left in his life, one is family affection, and the other is to make Xia Guo stronger.

Before Lu Yuan's death, Su Yan received news from Chucheng, knowing that there were nomadic tribes from the grassland jointly attacking Chucheng, even if he didn't see the battle report, Su Yan didn't have much worry about this matter, Su Yan clearly knew that with the tall walls of Chucheng and two or three thousand archers, even if there were 10,000 enemies attacking, they could be repelled by Chucheng.

Cavalry cannot destroy the tall city walls, they cannot store the city with great effort, and there are no siege engines, ladders and other siege equipment.

For the cavalry of the nomadic tribes, they had only one way, to transport the soil under the city wall, artificially pad a dirt slope and ride directly onto the city wall, and the dead clans could also speed up the formation of the soil slope.

The nomadic tribe thought that this method was difficult, and it was even more difficult to complete this method, and the strong bows and arrows of the Xia Kingdom would teach the enemy how to behave.

The grassland is one of the key development directions of the Xia Kingdom, the first is the cattle, horses and sheep on the grassland, and the second is the population on the grassland.

There are more than 42,300 adult male nationals in Xia State, that is, more than 42,300 families, and Su Yan has not forgotten the goal he has set, so that each family has a big cow or a big horse to plow the fields.

In the era of farming, farming is always the most important thing, every family in Xia Kingdom has a big cow or horse, each family can get enough food for their own family to eat, more food can be stored, even if natural disasters come, there is no need to worry about lack of food to eat.

And the more food, the more food in Xia Guo will not have to worry about the food crisis caused by the rapidly increasing population, and Xia Guo can increase more population as much as possible every year.

Even if every family has a big cow or a big horse, this is not enough, the excess cattle, horses and sheep can also be used to eat meat, eating meat can be faster than eating a vegetarian diet, so that the next generation of Xia Guo has a healthy and strong body, so that Xia Guo's tentacles continue to extend to the earth.
